November 27 2014 Latest news:
MPs Oliver Heald and Stephen McPartland are backing the campaign.
By Laura Burge
Thursday, February 23, 2012
NOW is the time to raise your objections over plans to DOUBLE the number of passengers using Luton Airport.
The Comet is launching a campaign to get people in Stevenage and North Herts to comment on plans by London Luton Airport Ltd (LLAL), which propose to increase the number of passengers using the facility.
A public consultation has just got underway, and we want to make sure that as many people as possible in Comet country have their say.
Stevenage MP Stephen McPartland and North East Herts MP Oliver Heald have joined in the campaign, and are encouraging people to get involved in the consultation.
Mr McPartland said: "I am leading this campaign because I know many local people value Luton Airport but are very concerned about the new plans they are consulting on. This is a huge increase and we are already suffering from the noise generated by overflying aircraft.
"I am concerned that the projections always factor in quieter aircraft, but from my own experience of living in Stevenage and directly under the flight path, the planes do not seem particularly quiet to me when they are coming in to land, or to the many constituents who contact me about aircraft noise, particularly in the summer months.
"It is important that any increase in capacity has to include noise reduction measures, so our quality of life locally is not affected."
Mr McPartland also said that he would be contacting the secretary of state for transport to ensure any planning decisions will be comprehensively reviewed.
"I am also not convinced that the consultation process is fair as Luton Borough Council owns the airport and they will be responsible for agreeing the planning permission for it to expand," he added.
"This is a direct conflict of interest and the plans must be fully scrutinised and decided by an independent party.
"I would urge all Comet readers to get involved in the consultation process so the views of all local people are taken into account before we have a plane flying over Stevenage every two minutes."
Plans, which were revealed last week, include an expansion of the aircraft and taxi standing areas, new road access, extensions to the passenger terminal and a multi-storey car park.
The airport currently has a capacity of 9.6 million people per annum, but it wants to increase that to 18 million.
Mr Heald said: "Many residents in north Letchworth and across the villages of North East Hertfordshire already raise concerns with me about aircraft noise as planes come to and from Luton Airport.
"People tolerate this only because of the convenience of having a local airport, but they do not want a big expansion. We should not forget that our roads are already very busy and we do not want to suck in even more vehicles to our area."
Exhibitions have already been held in Hitchin and Whitwell, and Stevenage and Breachwood Green have theirs coming up on February 27 and March 25 respectively.
To take part in the consultation, visit www.futureLuToN.co.uk, call 0844 2250003, or post your comments to RSUB-UEZB-SYXJ, GL Hearn, 20 Soho Square, London W1D 3QW.
The Comet also wants to hear all of your views. Send comments to firstname.lastname@example.com or The Comet Newspaper, Bank House, Primett Road, Stevenage, SG1 3EE.
You can also let us know your views on this issue by texting TC VIEWS, followed by your comment, name and postcode to 80058. We will print a selection of the best in next week's Comet. Each message cost 25p.

When I asked consultants acting for London Luton Airport Ltd to substantiate their claims that 6,000 jobs would be created by the plans - and what jobs they would be - they couldn't come up with any answers. It's a manipulative move in the current economic climate to find favour with plans that even the current operators regard as totally unrealistic. The flight paths would conflct with those of Heathrow for a start. The airport is already causing problems for thousands of people with increased noise from early-morning and night flights. New routes are also being trialled on top of these expansion plans

I agree with Derek its good news for the area as far as employment oppurtunities go and I think you'll find the majority of those whinging have used Luton Airport at least once in their lives and would be happy if it was sited on someone else's doorstep.

Well I am fed up with having to drive all the way to heathrow and gatwick to catch flights as a regular flyer, also adding emissions in the driving there and back, so bring on a better Luton Airport. It was there when we all moved here,bit late to moan about it.

STOO62...."The Pelican has always been a part of the Grange Estate ever since the early 1960's and to see it become a part of Tesco's attempt to take over the United Kingdom is shameful....how many Tesco's can they fit in such a small area?"............................................................So STOO62 you are against Tesco generating around 20 jobs with minimal local impact but all for LA creating (x?) jobs at the cost of HUGE IMPACT for tens of thousands....wonder how many planes LA can fit in such a small area?
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Well better late than never Laura, and the forward plan is to more than TRIPLE the current passenger numbers to 30 MILLION, doubling it to 18 million is just the first phase...these things are always done by increments when there's opposition and finite money available in a recession.
Thursday, February 23, 2012
Mr McPartland does not seem to have made his mind up. Perhaps he likes to spot planes whilst straddling a convenient fence.
Friday, February 24, 2012
Well if you're so fed up, you could always move to Guildford ...that's about halfway btwn the LHR & Gatwick. So then no reason to moan about having a Job that requires air travel and you can save on emissions at the same time..!
Thursday, February 23, 2012
I Think It's good news . More jobs for the area. & hopefully more choice of flights .

GLADEVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Carl Edwards claimed his fifth career victory at Nashville Superspeedway, holding off Kyle Busch to win the Nashville 300 on Saturday.
Edwards celebrated the Nationwide Series victory with his trademark back flip and a brief trip to the edge of the grandstands to acknowledge cheering fans.
Edwards' victory kept Busch from pulling off the first double at the track. Busch had dominated in winning the Trucks Series race Friday night.
Edwards led 148 of the 225 laps Saturday and took the lead for good on lap 191, passing Busch and opening up a slight lead and weaving past a slower car on the final lap.
It was Edwards' second Nationwide victory of the season and 31st overall.
Brad Keselowski, a two-time winner in Nashville, finished third, edging pole-sitter Joey Logano in fourth, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in fifth.

Black Thursday creeps into Black Friday Thanksgiving frenzy

Updated: November 22, 2012 6:44PM
NEW YORK — Put down that turkey leg. It's time to shop. No, really.
Stores typically open in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving that's named Black Friday for the period when stores traditionally turn a profit for the year. But Black Friday openings have crept earlier and earlier over the past few years.
Now, stores from Target to Toys R Us are opening their doors on Thanksgiving evening, hoping Americans will be willing to shop soon after they finish their pumpkin pie.
Target Corp. is opening its doors at 9 p.m. on the holiday, three hours earlier than last year. Sears, which didn't open on Thanksgiving last year, is opening during from 8 p.m. and will stay open until 10 p.m. on Black Friday. And Toys R Us will be opening at 8 p.m., an hour earlier than last year.
Retailers are hoping that the Thanksgiving openings will draw shoppers who prefer to head to stores after their turkey dinner rather than braving the crowds early the next morning. Overall, about 17 percent of shoppers plan to take advantage of Thanksgiving hours, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs survey of 1,000 consumers.
Michael Prothero, 19, and his friend, Kenny Fullenlove, 20, were willing to miss Thanksgiving dinner for deals. They started camping out outside a Best Buy store in Toledo, Ohio, on Monday night, waiting to get 40-inch televisions, videogames and a tablet computer. They came early to make sure they got the deals advertised by Best Buy, even though the next person in line didn't arrive until almost 24 hours later.
"Better safe than sorry," said Prothero, who says missing Thanksgiving dinner with his family is worth it to get deals.
The Thanksgiving hours are an effort by stores to make shopping more convenient for Americans, who still face economic uncertainty. Many shoppers are worried about high unemployment and a package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" that will take effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then. At the same time, Americans have grown more comfortable shopping on websites such as Amazon.com, where they can get cheaper prices and buy from the comfort of their home or office cubicle.
That has put pressure on brick-and-mortar stores, who can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the two-month holiday shopping season, to compete. That's becoming more difficult: the National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, or about flat with last year's growth. But the online part of that is expected to rise 15 percent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.
As a result, brick-and-mortar retailers are trying everything they can to lure consumers into stores by making shopping as easy as possible. In addition to expanding their hours into Thanksgiving, many are offering free layaways and shipping, matching the cheaper prices of online rivals and updating their mobile shopping apps with more information.
"Every retailer wants to beat everyone else," said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, a research firm based in Charleston, S.C. "Shoppers love it."
But not everyone likes the idea of Turkey Day shopping. Some retailers that are opening on Thanksgiving face criticism from workers who complain that the holiday should be a time for everyone to spend with their family.
A New York-based union-backed group of retail workers called Retail Action Project is planning protests in the Manhattan borough of New York City on Thanksgiving in front of several stores, including AnnTaylor, Forever 21 and others that are opening at midnight on Black Friday and earlier.
"It shows that the companies are not valuing their workers. They're looking to their workers to squeeze out more profits," said Carrie Gleason, director of Retail Action Project.
Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has been one of the biggest targets of protests against holiday hours. Many of the company's stores are open 24 hours, but the company is offering early bird specials that once were reserved for Black Friday at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving instead.
The issue is part of a broader campaign against the company's treatment of workers that's being waged by a union-backed group called OUR Walmart, which includes former and current workers. It's staging demonstrations and walkouts at hundreds of stores on Black Friday.
Mary Pat Tifft, a Wal-Mart employee in Kenosha, Wis., who is a member of OUR Walmart, started an online petition on signon.org that has about 34,000 signatures.
"This Thanksgiving, while millions of families plan to spend quality time with their loved ones, Wal-Mart associates have been told we will be stocking shelves and preparing sales starting at 8 p.m.," she wrote on the site.
But retailers say they are giving shoppers what they want. Dave Tovar, a Wal-Mart spokesman, said that the discounter learned from shoppers that they want to start shopping right after Thanksgiving dinner. Then, they want to have time to go to bed before they wake up to head back out to the stores.
Still, Tovar said that Wal-Mart works to accommodate its workers' requests for different working hours. "We spent a lot of time talking to them, trying to figure out when would be the best time for our events," he said.
Kathee Tesija, Target's executive vice president of merchandising, said Target's 9 p.m. opening struck "a perfect balance" for its customers. When asked whether it's faced any criticism from Target employees, she noted that the chain also works with workers to accommodate their needs. But, ultimately the company serves the customer.
"We thought long and hard about when the right opening time would be," she said, adding that Target "wants to make sure we are competitive."

Pasadena Rotary Club
2013 Teachers of Excellence Program
The Pasadena Rotary Club's annual Teachers of Excellence Program (TOE) honored PUSD teacher honorees May 15, 2013 at the University Club on N. Oakland Avenue in Pasadena.
The PUSD teacher honorees were: Regina Major, Altadena Elementary School; Christine A. McLaughlin, Blair High School; Ella Farinas, Cleveland Elementary School; Richard Eric Mulfinger, Marshall Fundamental Secondary School; and Dany Richey, Sierra Madre Elementary School.
The Rotary embarked on their 23rd annual Teachers of Excellence Award Program with the Pasadena Unified School District. The program's genesis was the product of hard work and dedication on the part of two of Pasadena Rotary's honored members, Joe Lonergan, celebrating his 50th year with our club, and Al Lowe. Both men were inspired by the story of Jaime Escalante, the charismatic former East Los Angeles high school teacher who taught the nation that inner-city students could master subjects as demanding as calculus.
Program Goals and Objectives: The goal of the program is to foster and encourage excellence in teaching and dedication to education in the Pasadena Unified School District. In addition, Rotary wishes to demonstrate in a concrete way that the community cares about the quality of public schools by conducting a competition to select those exceptional teachers that deserve special recognition.
With funding, primarily from the Pasadena Rotary Foundation, as well as the club's budget, and contributions from individual members, awards of $1,500.00 are given each year to five teachers from the Pasadena Unified School District. The sum of $500.00 is presented to each recipient's school. Finally, we ensure that both Middle School and High School Teachers are among the five recipients.
This year's ceremony took place during the weekly Rotary Meeting on Wednesday – May 15, 2013 at 12:30 p.m.
Selection Process: A selection committee is formed from volunteers including recipients of the award for the prior year, their principals, a representative from the UTP, a representative from the Pasadena Unified School District and members of the Pasadena Rotary Club. This committee reviews each essay application and scores them according to established evaluation criteria.
Ten candidates with the highest scores are then notified in writing and given instructions on the second part of the selection process which include the creation of a video to be produced in class that will allow the selection committee to both observe classroom activity and provide each finalist with an opportunity to present his/her personal experiences, thoughts about the profession and goals for the future. The videos are then reviewed and scored by the selection committee according to established evaluation criteria.
The essay and video scores are combined and the candidates with the top five scores are chosen as the recipients for the award.

Anchovy Butter is a classic of French cuisine and works beautifully on baguette plain or on canapés as base for other ingredients, such as shrimp and sweet pepper.
Take 3 ounces of good anchovies and soak them for a few hours in cold water, changing the water every half hour or so, to desalt them a bit. Otherwise I use marinated white anchovies to good effect. Either way, dry the anchovies well. The next step is to combine them, with mortar and pestle (classically) or in a food processor (at my house), with about 7 ounces of unsalted butter – sweetest possible. Press the resulting mixture through a sieve or fine strainer. Serve on slices of warm baguette or on canapés as desired

You've got your tickets ready and ordered your Hunter wellies months ago. But now festival season is well and truly upon us – huzzah! – it's time to get packed. And just to make sure you don't miss a thing, we've asked a few festively-educated celebs to put together their best tips for surviving the glorious wet British weather, looking festival fashion FIT and, well, just having a flipping good time. Lists at the ready…
Fearne Cotton
'No matter how hot it is during the day, it'll be freezing at night, so bring layers and clothes that are super comfy. Playsuits are perfect for the last day when you're tired and groggy. Baby wipes and dry shampoo are essential, too. And make-up-wise, go for the trashy look – loads of eyeliner.'
MTV presenter Louise Roe
'I always take a stack of rose gold Monica Vinader bracelets, because their threads are colourful and boho enough to pass as festival-garb, but sparkly enough to also be chic. My new go-to for cute comfy tops is Boden. Their taupe and cream striped breton is preppy and awesome, and looks gorge tucked into high-waisted cut-offs from Urban Outfitters and finished off with red Hunter Wellies (my fave colour for boots this festival season.)
'One of the most annoying things is make-up – especially foundation. But try Nanoblur – it's a miracle serum meaning you can go (almost) bare-faced. Genius!'
Radio One's Gemma Cairney (top pic)
'Don't even attempt to set foot on British festival territory without a pair of wellingtons you adore. The clouds can erupt with wet excitement at any time. I'm happy that hunter have introduced a bronze welly to their metallic range, after my mate has stolen my gold ones.
'And my secret weapon? Glitter is like war paint, it'll keep you going, you should apply so much that by the end of the festival it is in your pants.'
Emma Hill, creative director of Mulberry
'My essential festival item is a great, easy-to-throw-on bag. We've reinvented two classic styles for the new season - given them an update with fantastic studded tassels and rivet-studded trim for a rock 'n' roll festival edge! They're also a great shape and perfect size for survival essentials.'
Zoe Ball
'Bring get up that's warm, wet-proof and glam, and feel the love. Pack some wild capes or glitter jackets so your friends can find you in a crowd and you can feel special even knee deep in mud. I go for Stevie Nicks hair (c/o Batiste dry shampoo), always carry wetwipes (for all your festival needs) and a couple of Topshop glitter eyeliner pens for adding that touch of late night magic.'

WEST BEND, Wis. (AP) -- Tinker may be miniature -- as in a miniature horse -- but he's a big money raiser for the Salvation Army.
He uses his mouth to hold and ring a red bell and also picks up a "Thank You Merry Christmas" sign. He can also bow and give kisses.
Crowds usually gather to watch the 13-year-old horse and take photos, pet him and, of course, put some money in the red kettle.
Major Roger Ross, a Salvation Army commander, says Tinker brings in 10 times the amount of a regular bell ringer in the area.
One of Tinker's owners, Carol Takacs, said his name was Tinker when they got him. She says they couldn't have named him better if they tried.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu says a proposed comprehensive zoning ordinance will play an important role as the city rebuilds, and he has announced a series of public meetings throughout the city to get residents' opinions about the document.
The meetings start Monday and will be held in various neighborhoods over the following two weeks. Zoning rules determine where new development can take place and govern details such as the height and size of buildings.
The meetings announced by Landrieu will include a 30 minute presentation on the draft ordinance. People attending will be able to look at the text and accompanying maps. They also will have a chance to meet with city planners and submit written comments.

Jaguar brings a pair of Designer Editions to go with the announcement at AutoRAI
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Apr 10th, 2011 at 10:05AM
Jaguar XF Designer Edition – Click above for high-res images There are major auto shows, and there are relatively minor ones. Holland's AutoRAI may fall more into the latter category, but that doesn't mean it can't have its fare share of new debuts. And a big part of those are reportedly coming from Jaguar. Say what you will about the wisdom of decisions taken in Europe's notoriously mind-altering playground, but as we already reported, Jaguar has apparently chosen the Amsterdam expo as the location to elaborate on the future of its X-Type successor. But the company's English... Read More

Salvage crews attempting to rescue a WWII B-25 Mitchell bomber
from the depths of Lake Murray outside Columbia, SC need to wait a
few days longer to raise the 62-year-old wreckage. Silt accumulated
in the plane's nose has to be removed first, or else the weight of
it might break apart the plane's fragile aluminum structure.
The news has done nothing to quell enthusiasm for the project
among the crew, nor has it lessened the number of spectators
looking on as the crew works to raise the remains of the
twin-engine bomber from the bottom of the 350-foot-deep lake.
"I've always heard my grandma say planes fell in the water, so I
finally get a chance to see something that really happened a long
time ago," said witness Tonya Brown to WIS-TV.
During WWII, bomber crews from the Army Air Corp Base in
Columbia -- now the Columbia Metropolitan Airport -- used islands
on Murray Lake with bulls-eyes painted on them to practice bombing
There are dozens of
planes at the bottom of the lake, although the plane crews are now
trying to rescue -- that went down in the lake during a 1943
training mission-- is the only one believed to be largely intact,
according to the Lake Murray homepage.
While the crew and those watching them work are of course eager
to raise the bomber, they all believe the end result is more than
worth the wait. "It's kinda like watching a baby being born," said
crew member John Adams Hodge. "It pops out and there it is in
pretty good shape."
"It happens when it happens," Hodge said. "There is no need to
rush, to put our own impatience over the fact we want a beautiful
aircraft sitting on the beach in one piece that can be conserved
and restored."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do students need to have an internship when they apply for the grant?
No, roughly one third of applicants in past years have not had an internship secured when they apply. Recipients who don't have an internship at the time of selection must meet with an Internship Specialist at University Career Services. Recipients without an internship by May 30 forfeit their grant and it is awarded to a student on the waitlist.
Does University Career Services place SIGP students in internships?
No, UCS is available to assist students in identifying appropriate internships and coaching students on their internship applications. However, we believe students are best served through coaching and advice to build their skills and confidence in the job search rather than placement. This also widens the internship possibilities for students far beyond what the University would be able to secure.
How much of a factor does financial need play in the SIGP selection process?
The selection committee receives a rating of financial need from the NU Office of Financial Aid for each student under consideration for SIGP. This rating and the supporting information students supply in essay #3 of the application are heavily weighted. However, students must perform strongly on all aspects of the essay questions – self-reflection, specific internship learning goals and giving back to the University – in order to receive a grant. In the past few years over 50% of grant recipients rated in the 2 highest need categories. However, each year students who do not receive financial aid from Northwestern have been selected as SIGP Fellows.
For Donors: Can my donation be designated for a specific recipient?
General funds provide the most flexibility for SIGP selection. However, SIGP recipients come from all schools within the University and represent a diverse range of interests so we are able to accommodate some specific requests from donors. Please contact Laura Myers in UCS to discuss your request.
How competitive is SIGP?
The number of applicants and available grants vary by year, but applicants have always far out-numbered available grants. We expect around 200 students to apply for SIGP. In 2013, 1 in 5 students who applied were accepted into SIGP.

Sonja Morgan Aims to "Commercialize" Herself on The Real Housewives of New York Cityby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Give Sonja Morgan points for honesty.
When asked by Entertainment Weekly why she's appearing on The Real Housewives of New York City (Morgan debuts tonight), the socialite replied:
"I'm on the show to have a good time and commercialize myself... I've been writing my screenplay since the minute my divorce started. It's very sexy, sort of like a Candace Bushnell society novel."
Somewhere in a meeting with her agent, ignoring her children Kate Gosselin is shaking her head and wondering why a single mother on a reality show isn't using that platform to exploit her kids for sympathy, money and attention.
But back to Morgan. What is her life experience? Will she mix it up with her co-stars? We've excerpted a few responses from her aforementioned magazine interview:
What's her resume? I've been working my whole life, started at 14 years old put myself through college, and then I was modeling in Europe, doing the restaurant business, and brokering deals. Then I got married, had a baby. Then I produced a movie, then I produced an art show and produced an art tour. I said, "You know, I think it's time to highlight my career."
Will she catfight? It's not my M.O. I love to gossip like anyone else but I definitely don't want to hurt other people's feelings. I don't have a mean bone in my body. I can be very gossipy and fakey like any woman is, and I hope I can keep my composure around the ladies.
What is she like? I don't want to be cliché and say don't judge a book by its cover, but there are many layers to me. I'm very down to earth and a good mom. I do my own gardening and floral arrangements and cooking. I'm much more down to earth than you would realize.
I wish sonja would replace jill. finally some with real class and i love the way she carries her self as compare with jill and her big fake smile, just beacuse your husband is loaded it doenst mean you got class jill and ur circle of frinds you are a total wanna be can wait until jill is gone from the show, and i dont beileve people are sinding her gifts to her home and personal phone call from fans as she says she making all that up.
sonja i love u on the show finally some one with real class and carry it well .luann swears shes got class and try to pass it off on others but i see behind all that.she has not shown any class to me dipping in everyones business trying to play mother hen .i love everyone on the show but jill and luann they,re fake but where did u all get kelly from she don,t need to be on there. i got a lot to say i keep up with all the house wives shows. love dina and jacqueline . love nene on atlanta. tamara has inspired me to loose weight .florida house wives keep up the good work
This Sonja lady looks soooo old and washed up. I thought she was in here 60's so I was really shocked to learn she was born in 1963. My mother was also born in 1963 and looks about 15 years younger then Sonja.


text: On June 29, 2008, about 2230 Alaska daylight time, a restricted category Bell UH-1B helicopter, N64RA, sustained substantial damage during a hard landing at the Iliamna Airport, Iliamna, Alaska. The helicopter was being operated as a visual flight rules (VFR) positioning flight under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91, when the accident occurred. The commercial pilot, and the one pilot-rated passenger, were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and a VFR flight plan was filed. The flight originated from a remote site near Platinum, Alaska, about 2100. During a telephone conversation with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC) on July 3, the pilot reported that the purpose of the flight was to reposition the helicopter to Iliamna, and provide the pilot-rated passenger with a familiarization flight in a Bell UH-1B helicopter. The pilot said that as the flight approached the Iliamna Airport, he instructed the passenger that he was going to demonstrate a practice autorotation to runway 07. The pilot reported that as he lowered the collective to enter the autorotation, the helicopter began to vibrate violently. He said that the vertical vibration, which he described as "collective bounce" was so severe that at one point he was unable to read the airspeed indicator and engine toque meter. The pilot said that he elected to continue the autorotation to runway 07. He said that during the landing flare the helicopter's tail boom contacted the runway, the helicopter rocked forward, and the landing gear skids struck the ground. The hard landing resulted in structural damage to the fuselage, tail boom assembly, and main rotor transmission supports.The Operator's Manual for the Bell UH-1B helicopter, states in part: "Collective bounce is a pilot induced vertical oscillation that may be encountered in any flight condition by a rapid buildup of vertical bounce at approximately three cycles per second. The severity of this oscillation is such that effective control of the aircraft may become difficult to maintain."According to the operator, a postaccident inspection of the helicopter was accomplished by a Bell Helicopter service center technician, which revealed loose and worn bearings on the helicopter's stabilizer bar, swashplate, flight control tube assemblies, and the right and left hydraulic servos. In a letter dated July 18, 2008, the maintenance technician reported that the mechanical discrepancies he discovered during his inspection were, in part: "noted as being the root cause of the vertical vibration..." A copy of the maintenance technician's letter is included in the public docket for this accident.

I had the rather wonderful opportunity to walk the neighborhood where I grew up in Modesto, CA this past weekend, in support of a State Senator (Jeff Denham) who was facing a nasty recall election. Fortunately, the recall failed and Denham was safe. I'm proud of my hometown. They saw the recall for what it was -- a power grab -- and the measure was rejected by 80% of the electorate. That should send a strong message.
The neighborhood around Standiford Elementary School hasn't changed much since I was growing up there in the late sixties and 1970's. My old home that you see to the left and the entire neighborhood was built in the late 1940's for returning World War II veterans. It was the era of smaller homes, where quarter-acre lots were standard stuff and the standard three bedroom and two bathroom home was crammed into 1100-1300 square feet.
This was natural for this day and age. Families and kids didn't spend a lot of time in the home. In the age before computer games and computers, kids played outside in the front and backyards and in neighborhood parks. Not much has changed here since I was growing up. I saw mothers playing catch with daughters in the front yard. And I happened to encounter a brother and sister who were selling bags of cherries
This bag of cherries brought back wonderful memories and I was more than happy to pay the price of three bucks for a bag of the most delicious cherries I've had in ages. And for the kids, it was easy money. They simply raided the family cherry tree in the backyard, bagged up the good stuff and sold it at a nearby park. I used to do the same thing as a kid, but back then, that bag of cherries sold for fifty cents.
The World War II veterans who bought these homes on quarter-acre sized lots planted fruit trees by the dozens in those wide and deep backyards. And every neighborhood, like mine, had an alley. The veterans, sadly, are all but gone now. But the orchards of mature fruit trees stand as a testament to what they did.
Those alleys and backyards filled with fruit trees served as my private orchard during my early teenage years. I would walk the alleys on the way home from school, and pick whatever was in season and hanging over the fence. I got my fill of tree ripened peaches, nectarines, kumkwats, pears, plums, avocados, apples, pomegranates or vine ripened grapes and tomatoes. You name the fruit or vegetable and it was there at some point during the walk home from school. And yes, I ate my fill. Much healthier than some packaged snack, don't you think?
At one point during my walk I encountered a tree that looked vaguely familiar to me. I know I had seen it before, but I just couldn't place it. And then, it hit me like a bolt from the blue. It was the exact copy of the Bacon Avocado Tree that I planted in my backyard this spring (Venus LOVES avocados). The only difference was my avocado tree is three feet tall and years away from producing fruit. This Bacon Avocado tree was THIRTY FEET tall, THIRTY FEET wide and must have been at least thirty years old. And it was just loaded with fruit.
What did Bill Bird do? He took the same sort of action that he took decades ago as a young teenager. I walked into a nearby alley, located a branch hanging over a fence and picked one of those avocados to show the wife what she could expect in the very near future.
In many ways, our North Natomas backyard is planted as a tribute to backyards that supplied me with fresh fruit and vegetables as a teenager. I've planted two varieties of peaches (June Pride and an O'Henry), a Stella Cherry tree, Sweet Pomegranate and a Santa Rosa Plum. The wife and I also planted a citrus grove containing a Washington Navel Orange, Dancy Tangerine, Improved Meyer Lemon and a Bearss Lime.
The trees don't quite look like the monsters I encountered in Modesto, but give it time. I'm sure that in thirty years, it too, will feed its share of hungry teenagers.
It's amazing the memories that a simple bag of cherries can bring back, wouldn't you agree?

How funny. I currently teach in the Sylvan District. Well, until tomorrow anyway. Not a big fan of Denham, but the recall didn't exactly seem fair either...and you're right Modesto neighborhoods are loaded with fruit trees.

Thanks for looking in Joe. And, to be honest, I had to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to Modesto. Still, when you're part of the team, you fall on the sword when the word comes. I was fortunate enough, however, to be able to grab a precinct close to Standiford and the old family home. And those fruit trees are all still there -- bigger than before and producing that much more. I'm out of cherries now. Sure wish I could get more of them.

New Hampshire Legislators Introduce Freedom to Beat Your Spouse Bills
One thing to keep in mind whenever a presidential candidate suggests that some issue is best handled at the state or local level is the fact that this relegates lawmaking to state and local legislators and absolutely nothing about the history of governments suggests that is a good idea. Our "laboratories of democracy" are basically 50 self-contained arguments against federalism.
Take New Hampshire, which in some populist conceit has decided that every dozen residents need their own severely under-resourced and under-paid state legislator, who will somehow remain "close to the people." Of course, the natural conclusion of "citizen legislatures" isn't home-spun wisdom and incorruptibility, insomuch as a bunch of part-time real-estate agents throwing monkey feces at a wall and calling the result a "House Bill."
The latest in the New Hampshire legislature's attempt to beclown their state as the Arizona of New England is House Bill 1581, which would stand up to lobbyists from Big Battered Spouse and prevent police officers from making an arrest in a domestic violence case without first getting a warrant unless the officer witnessed the crime. The Concord Monitor explains…
An officer is called to a home where she sees clear evidence that an assault has occurred. The furniture is overturned, the children are sobbing, and the face of the woman of the house is bruised and bleeding. It's obvious who the assailant was, but the officer arrived after the assault occurred. It's a small department, and no one else on the force is available to keep the peace until the officer finds a judge or justice of the peace to issue a warrant. The officer leaves, and the abuser renews his attack with even more ferocity, punishing his victim for having called for help.
And — even though abused spouses have already been told once! — a related bill, which was rejected in committee on Wednesday, would have restricted judicial authority to issue domestic violence protective orders to a few select circumstances.
The legislative mastermind behind H.B. 1581 is Republican Representative Dan Itse, whose own political philosophy he explains in ways only a guest on the Glenn Beck and Alex Jones Shows can…
Today our nation, though still the freest in the world, is in danger of sliding into tyranny. The reason is best explained in the prelude to the movie "Fellowship of the Ring." The elf queen Galadriel is giving a discourse on the history of the ring, and man's lust for power over other men. Near the conclusion she states "…and some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend, legend became myth…"
Naturally, Itse's conclusion is that Galadriel should shut her elf queen mouth and go back to making him a Lembas bread sandwich.

Over the next 15 days, I'll be releasing a random essay on each team in the league. This post is about the Atlanta Hawks. You can follow the series with the "2011-12 Team Previews" and "Zach Attacks" tags at the bottom of the page.
I have spent a lot of money in my life on a DVD collection that isn't exactly making the American Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences feel overly covetous.
I've been known to drop $20 on The Wash or Soul Plane, sort of as a sick joke that my friends and I can use as humorous fodder during any given get together. It's not something that I'm necessarily proud of. God knows there are times I glance at the shelves of DVDs and think, "why do I have three copies of Rounders? How did that happen? Did I not know I already had a copy of Hoosiers before I bought the deluxe edition?"
"Dear god, what will they think of me when they see Slammin' Salmon is available to watch in my apartment?!"
To paraphrase the great Patrick Ewing during the 1998 lockout, "I waste a lot of money because I don't have a lot of money," or something like that.
One thing I always have been good at is finding Jean-Claude Van Damme movies in the $5 bargain bin when I've accidentally stumbled into a Walmart or find the "low price" plastic tag on the shelves of a Target. In fact, I'm like the Nicolas Cage character in that treasure finding movie when it comes to grabbing some JCVD DVDs.
Bloodsport? $5 bargain. Hard Target? Found it for $3 once. In Hell? I got it as a buy one, get one free deal when I purchased the special addition Universal Soldier DVD. Yes, I own Nowhere to Run, Time Cop, and Double Impact and no I didn't pay more than a combined $30 after sales tax.
I couldn't tell you why I'm so intent on finding these gems in the DVD section of any given store. It's the first thing I look for when I'm looking at DVDs to buy. If anything my radar for finding such a deal is tuned finer than any NASA instrument used in traveling space. I don't know if it's a gift or a curse. I guess it's a gift because I would have no problem plopping down $20 on my debit card for each JCVD movie I own and calling it a day.
There is something about Van Damme movies that I've always enjoyed. Maybe it's because I can't do the splits and appreciate that level of flexibility. Maybe it's that while they're extremely entertaining and a great way to kill a couple of hours with eyebrow flirting (It's the only way he knows how to flirt), a disarming and sometimes intelligible accent, and flying roundhouse kicks to catapult through random wood doors and bay windows. Or maybe it's just that I've always wanted the supreme balance to hold my foot in someone's face and then turn my body 90 degrees before putting it down.
Whatever the reason is, I appreciate the level of entertainment they provide while not having to fully invest in the franchise. You can find a bargain version of each DVD and think you got a steal.
That's kind of what it's like following the Atlanta Hawks over the past year. They've spent so lavishly on "DVDs" that are so unsatisfying when you realize how much you spent on them, that you start relishing when you find a bargain. Al Horford is a legitimate bargain for the five-year, $60 million extension. Tracy McGrady and whatever he can hopefully bring to the Hawks before his back gives out is probably a steal for the veteran's minimum.
But do those contracts make you honestly feel better about what the Hawks have going for them? Does it make up for Joe Johnson's absurd contract or the money you're paying Josh Smith to sandwich his YouTube highlights betweens multiple slices of horrendous shot selection? We want to like the Hawks because they seem like they'd be really fun. But in reality, it's a mismatched clusterfluff of annoyance and frustration at what we want the potential to be.
The Hawks aren't really any good. Sure, they're good enough to win 45-50 regular season games, and maybe they'll get a beneficial matchup with a team like Orlando in the first round of the playoffs when the Magic are spiraling out of title contention. They're just good enough to have their potential make you tingle and just bad enough to not be substantial.
The Hawks are set up to bring in a few games of playoff revenue before giving way to a serious contender in the East. They have players we want to be good. They're bringing in guys like Tracy McGrady who we hope can go through a skeletal and muscular renaissance one more time to help this franchise validate our perennial interest in them. However, they can't really be serious about giving us a lasting experience in from of our TVs every time they play because of the decision to max out Joe Johnson in the name of playoff annuity of sorts or the refusal to either coach Josh Smith into greatness or ship him off for working pieces.
Instead, they're going to force us to enjoy the bargain bin, marvel at a few roundhouse kicks to the face, and make sure we never believe they're considered for perennial awards.
Happy hunting, everybody.

November 29, 2014
CAPITOL HILL (AP) -- Testimony is under way as Congress begins
looking into the Mitchell Report, which alleges that more than 80
baseball players have used performance-enhancing drugs.
Former Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell outlined his inquiry to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee this morning, saying it's now up to baseball officials and players to decide how they'll move forward.
Mitchell was followed to the table by baseball commissioner Bud Selig and union head Don Fehr.
Selig says he agrees with the conclusions reached in Mitchell's report and criticisms of the league, the union and the players. He vows to develop a program subjecting top Major League prospects to drug testing before the amateur draft. And he also reiterated his willingness to support use of a test for human growth hormone "when a valid, commercially available and practical test for HGH becomes reality, regardless of whether the test is based on blood or urine."
Fehr says the union has agreed to "allow players to be suspended for HGH use based on evidence other than a positive test, a so-called `non-analytical' finding."
Lawmakers began the day by calling for the Justice Department to look into whether former American League MVP Miguel Tejada lied to committee staffers when questioned in connection to the Rafael Palmeiro perjury case in 2005. Waxman says the Mitchell Report "directly contradicts key elements of Mr. Tejada's testimony" that he never used illegal performance-enhancing drugs and that he had no knowledge of other players using or even talking about steroids.

Cabeau Memory Foam Pillow 4 4
Best so far Beats the blow up, beads, and too soft travel pillows. Very supportive to prevent head from flopping. Relatively compact. Will buy a second one for upcoming travel in economy, again! October 18, 2013
for a person with a big neck Different sizes needed for different folks. This size may be ok for a person with a very large neck. I would love to have this support in a size that fit my neck. There is no provision for submitting this review! April 26, 2014
great product great product. it even works well while watching TV. The actual intended use will come later. April 24, 2014
the best pillow for me Used this for the first time on a recent trip. Two long flights. It is the most comfortable I've used and can't go with out it next time. I actually got a good nights sleep, much to my surprise because my head didn't fall off it even once. January 19, 2014

TV Oldie
"A True Dose of Reality . . ."
I purchased this book and had it sitting on my iPod to listen to . . but decided after watching the Academy Awards on Sunday to listen to it before I rented and watched the movie. And I was not disappointed . . although the language is raw . . the feeling is real. And the further you get into the story . . . you realize it's not just about being black, poor or the result of a system of well-fare that frequently instead of helping people . . only makes them more dependent and promotes fraud. It also reminds us of a society that preys on females . . . and that abuse crosses all color barriers. And it's the story of one girl's ability to overcome all of these barriers . . . and develop into a whole person. A truly inspirational story . . . now I'm looking forward to watching the movie based on it as well.
"Emotional Rollercoaster"
It's hard to find the words that can describe the feelings brought about by this book. Anger doesn't seem to be quite right, nor does sadness. Precious is a product of her environment, which is a product of our society. Her tale is gut-wrenching and all too real.
After you've recovered from the horrors in this book, you want to jump up and take action against all the forces involved in creating the situation in which Precious lives.
This book is a must for everyone - especially educators and anyone else working with underprivileged and/or abused children.
I got this not knowing much about the writer or story. Just kept hearing the Oscar buzz for it. I can not express enough how heart wrenching gutting and somehow drizzled with hope this journey has been. I have cried, cheered and have been taken on a journey through the narrators voice. The language is real, raw unrepentant. Days later I'm still thinking of Precious...
"Fantastic narration"
As soon as I listed to the sample I knew I had to download this. The narrator is stunningly talented and the book is gripping. Highly recommend.
"This was good"
First audio book and this was good!!!!
"Very engaging. A must download!"
This is a very moving story of triumph over tragedy. If you download one audiobook this year, let this be the one.
"An Extraordinary Life"
This young lady is unique and extraordinary because all despicable behavior that humans can inflict, she experienced first hand. It took me awhile to listen to the book, because I could not stop crying. I thought my childhood was awful, this is the most awful case of child abuse,everyone has failed Precious. I am dumbfounded that Precious states in the last part of her book, "I don't hate no one". I really do not know if I could not hate after living thru abuse such as what she lived. She is truly a wonderful person.
"Brutal and Beautiful"
This was a brutal listen. At an early point I wasn't sure that I would get through it and then I realized I couldn't possibly not listen. Beautifully read, very poetic. Gripping.
"Could not have been better written or narrated"
It's dark subject matter, but you can tell Sapphire has enormous empathy and respect for the girls like Precious she has taught and through her eyes, the listener can't help being won over.
The narrator was excellent - she gave Precious one of the most memorable voices I have heard. In fact, I don't think the story would have been nearly as fluid had I read it instead of listening to it.
The story and tone reminded me a little of A Patch Of Blue (Elizabeth Kata).

Green leaf vegetables are typically low in calories, low in fat and very rich in proteins and also high in dietary fiber, Iron and calcium, vitamin c and folic acid. In Indian cuisine we use most of the leaf vegetables as stir fries or Saag. In Andhra we make delicious curries with green leaf vegetables and pulses, we call this curry as Akukura pappu. I my childhood my grand mother use to make Akukura pappu with 2 or more leaf vegetables with toor dal or moong dale and also some time she mix raw tamarind (chintakayalu) or raw mango instead of tomato in this and that taste really heaven with hot steamed rice and any vegetable stir fry (especially potato or guthi vankaya kura) and vadiyalu (sun dried rice crackers) ooohhh. And here is the recipe hope you all like this.......
Toor dal --- 1 cup
Spinach --- 1/2 cup (palakura)
Fenugreek leaves --- 1/4 cup (menthi Kura)
Purslane - 1/4 cup (gangavayala Kura)
Amaranth leaves --- 1/2 cups chopped (totakura)
Sorrel leaves – 1/4 cup (gongura) (if you didn't get any of them just leave that and mix other leaves but at least you have to mix 3 leaf vegetables)
Green chilies --- 4 cut in to small pieces
Onion --- 1 medium chopped
Raw mango – 1 medium peeled and chopped
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tea sp
Red chili powder – 1 tea sp
Salt to taste
Oil – 3 tab sp
Mustard seeds – 1/2 tea sp
Urad dal – 1 tea sp
Cumin seeds – 1/2 tea spRed chilies – 2 broken
Red chilies – 2 broken
Garlic – 4 cloves crushed
Curry leaves -- 1 spring
1. Wash and soak dal for 10 min. to 1/2 an hour and add 1 cup of water and cook toor dal till half done then add chopped onion, green chilies and all leaf vegetables, chopped mango, salt to taste, turmeric powder then cover with a lid and cook in a very low flame till done.
2. If you are using a pressure cooker then mix all leaf vegetables and onion, green chilies, mango pieces to dal add salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder and cook for 2 whistles. Remove cool and open
3. Then mash the dale and leaf vegetable mixture with an aloo masher or pappuguthi (what we use for mash dal a wooden masher).
4. Mash well to combine dal and leaf vegetables.
5. Now heat oil in a fry pan add mustard seeds and let them pop up then add urad dal, crushed garlic, cumin seeds, broken red chilies, curry leaves and fry for a sec.
6. Then add this tempering to dal and leaf vegetable mixture mix well.
Serve hot with steamed rice or roti

Consider the following situation: a patient in a hospital ward posts 'Dead' in her/his online microblog status update. She/he is in the final stages of a terminal illness. She/he, or a relative/friend, posted this message using a smart phone device from her/his hospital bed. The ward receives phone calls from those who have read the status update. "Is she really dead?" The patient is very sick, but not dead. But it is, as it subsequently turns out, her/his last ever online status update. This really happened, and similar stories are likely to recur. Our digital society now captures all life moments, from gestation to death.
And what is more, these final words are not the only phenomenon in our rapidly changing digital world that have strong relevance to healthcare and terminal illness. It is not uncommon to hear stories about relatives of patients publishing online photographs or videos of their loved ones in the final hours or when they have died. To some, this is about capturing a moment in time, to perhaps document or chronicle it, like a diary post, for future generations to see and share in the future.
But we are by no means the first to scratch our heads at the rights or wrongs of publishing individuals' death and dying moments. In Victorian Britain, for example, dying was widely accepted as part of everyday life. Deathbeds were a common topic within the literature of that time and 'deathbed watches' were commonplace. This period also introduced the first widespread use of photography, largely reserved for very important life events, births, marriages and deaths. Photographs of dying and deceased patients were therefore common, and started to replace deathbed paintings. The last words spoken by someone who was dying were seen as very important, and part of the deathbed watch would be to note down anything the person might say, in case it was their final utterance.
Given this historical interest in terminal words and last images, perhaps our modern phenomenon of final status updates and photographs will not be seen as all that curious by future historians, looking back at our times. Blogging final words online may well be the 21st century equivalent of a Victorian deathbed whisper.
And importantly, how many of us working in health and social care pay attention to this part of a person's existence? Is there any role in us knowing and documenting that someone is very active online, and focus on it as we do on occupational, family and spiritual aspects of someone's life? Should our medical notes come with a new heading, entitled 'Social Media History'? And what would the person like to see happen with their online social media profile, once they have died? Some patients in hospitals and hospices want help creating memory boxes, for instance for their very young children. But more and more, this information, be it in the form of photos, videos and diary entries can be created online, and work is ongoing to make available such memory clouds. (1)
Some social media microblog site providers are already reviewing and adopting policies to not take 'off-line' those profiles that have not been used for years because their former user passed away, so that future generations can keep in touch with the former life of a relative, friend or loved one. A 'Memorial Page' function has been available for (dead) Facebook users for some time now. (2) This will, naturally, bring with it discussions surrounding privacy and appropriateness and may cause considerable disagreement within families of people who have gone. A 'Rest in Peace'-App may sound like a bad joke to us now, but future generations may find this quite normal. We are not yet immortal, but our memories live on in an ever more digitalized way.
