Transman's been working himself to the bone lately and he hasn't been blogging much. Transman has three jobs, two kids, and one class at the moment. That load is an effin' lot and you expect him to be creative, funny, and prolific? Well, set the expectation bar on the ground, Mabel, 'cuz Transman just can't rise to the occasion (he's only talking about the work effort here; there's no double entendre hiding in those words).
Sooooo … what does T-man listen to when he's beat? Not dance music.
Sometimes, he finds himself some music that sounds almost as weary as he feels. Sometimes, it's the blues. Sometimes, it's country. This week, it's William Elliott Whitmore. This guy is young-ish, but he's got the voice of a man who's been around a long time and he combines all kinds of sounds in his music, picking up bits and pieces of everything from bluegrass to hip-hop,and crafting something that is all his own.
Whitmore was raised on a horse farm in Iowa and he has kept close ties to the land; except for touring and an 8-month stint in San Francisco, he's never strayed too far from the farm. As a child, he lapped up the music his family played. His father was a guitarist; his mother played accordion, and his grandfather played banjo. Whitmore plays guitar and banjo, but really started working on songwriting as a teenager after his parents died. He says the writing helped him deal with the grief in a constructive way.
If you'd like to read more about Whitmore's take on the craft of writing, what he listens to, and how the environment we inhabit shapes our writing, check out Dan Bullock's interview with Whitmore in OnMilwaukee.com:
"Stop yakking and play the damn music, already Transman!" you're saying. Well, fine … here; check it out:
Now, go get yourself on iTunes and download some of his music.

Photo Caption: Alumna Lisa Craig, President Helen Drinan, and her husband David Drinan at the Road Show kick off event this fall
President Helen Drinan's 100-Year Vision Road Show is off to a great start after visiting nine cities in three months. With a successful kick-off event at the Boston Public Library in September, the road show introduces the College's vision for the future to audiences around the country and celebrates our history of innovation and leadership.
"I was proud to showcase Strategy 2015, which is the result of the hard work of the Simmons community," said Drinan of the Boston event.
In addition to Strategy 2015, President Drinan also presents information about The Making Education Work Campaign, which is more than halfway to the $85 million goal. The largest campaign in Simmons history, Making Education Work will help generate new scholarships for students and help make strategic investments for academic programs.
The 100-Year Vision Road Show with President Drinan has several stops remaining in 2012, including from Palm Beach, Florida and Denver, Colorado.

The Nashville Film Festival always draws crowds of movie buffs from around Middle Tennessee and the rest of the nation. But this year, organizers are welcoming a special contingent from halfway across the globe.
Since 2008, the festival has used a grant to reach out to the Nashville community. So the means were already in place when they got a special request from a very particular group: Nashville's Kurds–the largest concentration of Kurdish immigrants and refugees anywhere in the US—wanted to see the films of their people included in the schedule.
"The woman, her name is Govand Wani, who came to us in the beginning, she said 'we don't have a country, all we have is a culture and this is saying yes to that culture.'"
The festival's Development Director, Deb Pinger, says ten films, including several by the award-winning Bahman Ghobadi, were selected with help from a new festival in Kurdistan itself, and come next month, a delegation of filmmakers, journalists and officials from the region are scheduled to attend.
Pinger says it's been touch and go at times. For a while after the Turkish Embassy bombing, it looked like no visas would come through. But between local residents and visitors from the Middle East, organizers expect to host more than 500 Kurds at festival events.
The Kurdish screenings have also attracted another group of special visitors—representatives from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will attend for the first time.

After a short trial of working as a orthopedic medical assistant, which was very interesting, I decided that Fitness is still my first love. Getting back in and gaining new clients is tough but worth it! It's great to be welcomed back by my previous clients and club. I've never blogged before either, so just feel like I'm blabbing, yep!

My own personal blog. I am member of the UNISON NEC for the Community & Voluntary sector and a Labour Councillor for West Ham ward in Newham, London. Centre left and proud member of Labour movement family.

Labour's Abbas for Mayor: Uniting the East End
I was with two teams of 10 members and supporters. There was other teams led by Stephen Timms MP and the Newham Executive Mayor, Sir Robin Wales.
When we first arrived we had a little bit of a heckle from some very excited bloke who shouted at us (from across the road in the Somerfields Car Park) that we should "be ashamed to be voting Labour" due to the recession. To which I responded that we were very proud to be Labour and that maybe he should just not vote for us then?
Apart from that the canvass went really well and on route we "bumped" into the candidate Helal and local MP Jim Fitzpatrick, in the middle of the market (see picture). All sections of the community seemed aware of the forthcoming election and willing to come out on the day to support the Helal.
(Election is on 21 October - Campaign office is at 349 Cambridge Heath Road, London, E2 9RA - 3 mins from Bethnal Green tube and is open for canvassing and leafleting from 10am-6.30pm every day until the election. Or you can ring 0207 729 6682 or email email@example.com for further details).

text: Unchained at last: the soul of Bobby Hatfield (far right), the tenor half of the Righteous Brothers, the ''blue-eyed soul'' duo who, with producer Phil Spector, turned out a succession of hits in the '60s, including ''Unchained Melody,'' ''You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling,'' and ''Just Once in My Life.'' On Nov. 5, 63-year-old Hatfield died of a heart attack in Kalamazoo, Mich. In recent years, he and fellow Righteous bro Bill Medley (the pair were not siblings, just a preternaturally well-matched vocal team) had been performing on the Las Vegas circuit. In 1992, Bruce Springsteen tapped Hatfield to contribute vocals to ''I Wish I Were Blind'' on the Boss' Human Touch album. Earlier this year, the Righteous Brothers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Pratt community college - page 4
:yeah:I was just accepted into the Pratt LPN to RN online program can anyone give me any pointers. I start the articulation class June.... Read More
0Nov 7, '10 by tparksIt just depended on the student. A lot of them stayed the entire time but some drove or flew back. Community Clinicals are in the 2nd semester. We had a 2 week break between semesters but I heard that you all will graduate in October (a month sooner than my class) and that is because you don't have the 2 week break. Good Luck!
0Nov 8, '10 by qismomI am so excited 4 u!!! I know you are glad ur almost finished. So how would you rate the program? Most people said it was a lot of work but they enjoyed it. Do u plan on continuing with your BSN? Do you have any tips for me? Thanks again for answering all my questions. I hope I haven't Benny a nuisance !!!!
0Nov 8, '10 by tparksI will continue on to get my BSN/MSN. For tips I would say be very flexible because they like to throw on requirements at the last minute. I didn't really care for the program especially this semester, but I passed and that is all that mattered. The program is definitely what you put into it. As long as you read what is on the study guide for each test you should do fine. I know that they are going to a lot more proctored tests because of cheating, which is sad because the whole point of taking the courses online is convenience. Watch out for dosage calc we lost a lot of students due to those. GOOD LUCK!
0Nov 15, '11 by msnoetteallI'm applying also for the program for summer 2012 and take the teas this week Nov 18, 2011. I know on the seletion criteria they break it down to four sections Reading , Math, Science, English, and you get a total score. They also use your pre-requistions and points for A&P. Good luck hope to see you in May 2012.
0Nov 22, '11 by myperfectgrade100Do you know anyone who might have notes for Human Anatomy & Physiology Eighth Edition by Elaine N Marieb and Katja Hoehn? A fellow student in my class found notes posted by a student that were very helpful to her. I don't seem to be able to connect with anyone who is a student who has posted her notes from this text!!!!

Ethiopian Light Rail projects are progressing fast
Addis Ababa, 26 March 2014 (WIC) - Work on the city's light rail transit (LRT) system is progressing at a phenomenal pace, according to the African Report.
Ethiopia's projects are far more advanced – they benefit from the wholesale support of the government.
In Ethiopia, two twin-track lines will bisect Addis Ababa north to south and east to west, diving underground along certain sections and, as in Meskel Square, rising up high on elevated tracks.
Trains will run for up to 18 hours per day at intervals of three to six minutes at peak times and will be able to carry a maximum of 60,000 passengers per hour.
With journey times from the periphery slashed by up to two-thirds, the LRT has the potential to revolutionize transportation in this fast-growing city.
"Ground was broken on 31 January 2012 and the first trains are expected to start running on 1 January 2015," says project manager Behailu Sintayehu, adding that 52% of the construction has been completed so far.
More than 3,000 Ethiopian laborers and engineers, overseen by the main contractor China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC), are working in shifts around the clock to meet the ambitious deadline.
Ethiopia thinks ahead
As a result, the ERC's priority is the line from Addis Ababa to the port of Djibouti. The government awarded this contract to CREC and China Civil Engineering Construction Company. The government is using the first phase of construction of both the LRT and the national rail network to build capacity for domestic industries.
Contractors conduct training for local staff and the Institute of Technology has opened at Addis Ababa University specializing in engineering. The government is sending promising undergraduates to Russia, India and China to continue their education.
The government hopes that the second phases of the LRT and rail network projects will be carried out entirely by Ethiopian enterprises, says Abebe.

U.S. not getting new A3 Wagon, separate sedan being developed
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Mar 8th, 2012 at 1:01PM
While we adore sexy three-door hatchbacks in the same way that our lungs crave oxygen, our fellow countrymen don't quite seem to feel the same way. Three-doors simply don't sell in America, and that's exactly why the delicious 2013 Audi A3 Wagon isn't headed to the states, according to The Detroit Bureau. Instead, American buyers can look forward to a market-specific sedan version that Johan de Nysschen, CEO of Audi of America, says won't share so much as a single body panel with the longroof you see above. While that's a crying shame by our eyes, de Nysschen says the U.S.-spec 2013 Audi... Read More

Microsoft moves 18 million Kinect sensors, leaves behind a lot of lonely couch cushions
Here's a fun little tidbit from tonight's Seacrest-heavy Microsoft Keynote: turns out that Redmond has moved 18 million Kinect sensors in just over a year, according to the Steve Ballmer's numbers. The news came amidst a few announcements that should help the company push even more of the gesture-based peripherals out the door — Kinect for Windows, anyone? Of course, this being the company's last CES keynote for the foreseeable future, it'll have to find another convention hall full of people to brag to when it announces the numbers this time next year.

Bento Box Quilt Tutorial
I had a few emails asking me how I'd made mine for the Bento'ed Out of My Box wedding gift quilt (they absolutely loved it!) and thought I'd share my easy liberated free piecing techniques. With a grateful nod to the original pattern, (which I have never seen) and without following any one else's directions, I simply created my own copyright free version. And with the addition of some free-pieced liberated mile-a-minute blocks in random chaos (many with deliberately disappearing edges) it sure makes for a wonderful optical illusion that encourages others to think you are far more talented than you truly are ;)
Since most Bento Box tutorials only show the making and cutting into quarters of a single block, I decided to showcase a variety of randomly created blocks to show how easy it is to add variety and use the simplest of scraps that you might have available in your scrap bins.
Blogger has lost all of my step by step photos.
Until I replace all of them, the collage above will help you identify the photos for the steps.
Step 1: Select a larger variety of randomly almost but not necessarily coordinating fabrics. Be free with your choices, values, color ranges, and focal variety..it's a lot more fun that way!
Step 2:
Select random center squares of a size of a choice...5", 6" ...whatever you want. Then simply add your logs...any size, any way you want... to alternating sides or tops/bottoms. I show my four different 'happy blocks' to display the variety I used.
I knew when they would be cut into quarters that I would prefer a variety of lights and darks, so two of my blocks have some lighter strips and two have some darker.
Step 3: Take each individual happy block and cut each one into quarters. (not shown, photo is in Salem, Or and I am on Douglas Island, Alaska)
Rather than measure, (remember I am using a liberated version!) simply fold a block in half one way...cut it open on that fold. Fold the block in the other direction, cut in half on the fold. You want 4 quarters from each block. I then had 16 smaller sections as a result.
Suddenly, you have your opportunity to mix it up! Mix and match the 16 quarters into new and amazingly random blocks. Such fun! Don't be too particular, but squint your eyes and see the values just a bit for some balance amidst the wonderful chaos!
Step 4 option: My extra bonus: randomly pieced mile-a-minute blocks all kitty corner and full of fun. Randomly placed, I later use my background fabric to sew side strips to each one, then top and bottom strips...box them in, but bento'ed for an overall look to the entire quilt.
Steps 5, 6, 7, and 8: Finish like a traditional quilt. Once the top is all pieced, and bordered, create a backing, add your batting, and quilt as desired! (skip the broken wrist brace unless absolutely necessary ;)
And you're done! And you know what? It was so much fun, you actually wish you weren't done yet...so have even more fun and add your bindings, your label on the back and any other little touches that make it your very own!

..and the "to-do" list just keeps on growing! ;) Great tutorial, Michele! I believe I will skip the wrist brace, hope you're doing well, remembering you and your family in prayer.ReplyDelete
I'm going to make this too. I love the use of scraps and how it turned out. HugsReplyDelete
Wow. What a tutorial. You're amazing. Your free-pieced, free color range "Bento'ed Out of My Box" Bento Box quilt is so much fun.ReplyDelete
The Bento Box is one of "those" quilts for me ~ I've wanted to make one, purchased the pattern then gave it away. The rigidity of it was just too much for me.ReplyDelete
Now YOUR version ! I can SO see myself making this (and heaven knows I have enough scraps). . .
THANK YOU for sharing your tutorial!!!!!
Thank you for this. I want to do one of these someday, but not just yet, so now I know where to find the info I need when I'm finally ready!ReplyDelete
great tutorial! awesome for beginner liberated quilters!ReplyDelete
Oh, thank you! I had liked the look of these, looked at the pattern and thought...nah. Can't do it. Now am ready to try. This might be fun to do with paper, too, as the from of a card.ReplyDelete
I'm inspired by this pattern to create my own Bento Box QuiltReplyDelete

Many are unhappy with the choice of candidates that will be available to them in the vote on Sunday, to the extent that some people are even supporting alternative four-legged options.

WOODBRIDGE, Va. - A Leesburg woman was one number shy of winning a Powerball jackpot estimated at $216 million but she still took home a $1 million consolation prize.
Norma Chhaunkar picked up her winnings Friday afternoon at the Virginia Lottery's north office in Woodbridge.
She had matched the first five numbers in the March 16 Powerball drawing. Chhaunkar says her husband teased her asking why she didn't hit all six numbers.
"Oh my God, I am very happy," she said nervously to a group of reporters.
A wife and mother of two children, Chhaunkar works at a Giant supermarket deli in Leesburg. Despite the seven-figure check, she says she stills feels poor.
She's not alone in this winner's circle. A Fredericksburg couple won a $217-million Powerball jackpot last month. For them, it was a sweet Valentine's Day as they picked up their winnings. They opted for a one-time cash payment of $136 million before taxes.
"Powerball is very hot in Virginia right now," says Virginia Lottery spokesman John Hagerty.
Hagerty says it's unusual in Virginia to have both a Powerball jackpot winner and a million-dollar winner within about a month of each other.
Wednesday, Virginia Lottery officials announced that a Sterling man won $1 million on a scratch-off ticket he bought at 7-Eleven in Annandale.

Five Minutes with…. Agi & Sam
We have long been supporters of young British design duo Agi Mdumulla and Sam Cotton, who met while working at Alexander McQueen before going it alone to set up their menswear label, Agi & Sam. The busy twosome gave us five minutes of their time to chat British fashion, style and everything in between.
Tell us a little bit about what you guys do.
We are a menswear design company that makes contemporary print based clothes and doesn't take fashion too seriously.
What does British style mean to you?
British Style for us is both the most considered and the most exciting. It shows a juxtaposition between heritage, tradition, eccentricity and contemporary design.
Which British fashion designers do you admire?
Shaun Samson, Christopher Raeburn, Craig Green, Alan Taylor.
Agi and Sam designs have a very unique style, what inspires these designs?
Our inspiration usually comes from humour. We've always wanted to have fun with what we've done and try and make people smile.
Finally, if someone was coming to spend the weekend in London, what would you recommend they do and see?
I'd advise them to go straight to Topman and buy our entire Agi & Sam x Topman Collection before it's all sold out. Then walk down the Thames and go and see the Tate Gallery, followed by walking through Borough Market and grab some snacks before going to the Design Museum. Sit down for lunch at River Cafe before taking Boris Bikes out and riding around Greenwich, finally heading up to get a Saint and dinner at Sushi Samba with its amazing views of London.

WARREN, Mich. (AP) — A 3-month-old baby has been found safe after police say a thief stole an unattended vehicle from a suburban Detroit gas station with the child inside.
Police say the child's father left the child about 6:45 p.m. Monday in the back seat of the unlocked and running Chevrolet Suburban in Warren while he went inside.
The father called 911 after seeing a man get into the vehicle and drive away. Police say the vehicle was found a few blocks away.
Police say the thief likely ditched the vehicle after realizing there was a child inside. The father could be charged for leaving the baby unattended.

UK to create a new space agencyPosted by admin under Misc , government programs
No Comments
From Rocketeers.CO.UK
(Source: BNSC)
A new executive agency will be created to take the UK's recession-busting space and satellite sector into a new space age, Science and Innovation Minister Lord Drayson said today.
This new bureaucracy busting agency will replace the British National Space Centre, and bring together for the first time the six Government departments, two research councils, the Technology Strategy Board and the Met Office that currently oversee the organisation of UK space activities to enhance efficiencies.
The Government's ambitious plans to accelerate growth and jobs within our world-leading space industry were set out in Lord Drayson's speech at the Rutherford Appleton Space Conference.

Very nice, we used to have a pitbull like that, sweet, but dumb as a rock. She used to wag her whole ass when she got happy. And she'd lay down when she didn't feel like walking anymore, no matter where she was. I had to carry her home a few times haha

Don't you just hate it when you are scheduled to work on a holiday? - page 2
Memorial Day holiday weekend is right around the corner. Who's working the weekend? How about Memorial Day? Don't you just hate it when you are scheduled to work on a holiday? Congratulations to Murse520 for... Read More
- 0May 17, '12 by sherdkI love working the holiday days--- depending upon which area you work -- can be very quiet and usually no management staff working or for instance, ER can be very busy. As a manager always nice to be able to get caught up on things and to get to know you staff better!!! I have probably worked Christmas for at least 40 years to let others with small kids have it off!!!
- 2May 17, '12 by sharpeimom Guidei usually worked christmas day so someone with little kids could have it off instead because it only seemed fair.
my husband has the same breaks that his college students have off and that has given us plenty of time off. we
spent the actual holiday with family frequently but left early so i could get to work on time.
sometimes my husband would cook a holiday meal, following my written instructions, calling with any questions.
my favorite? "i stuffed the capon just like you said, but all the stuffing is leaking out its butt (he said something
else) and i think he may explode! what should i do?"
i told him to start again and lightly stuff instead of packing it all in.
- 0May 17, '12 by sauconyrunnerI never really minded it. Now of course I don't work holidays...
- 0May 18, '12 by tina1997I started a new job at LTC in March and have worked Easter, mother's day, am working weekend plus Memorial Day and the day after plus father's day. This is the first Memorial Day I will miss with my family. We usually spend the long weekend at the shore (Jersey) with parents-in-law (whom I love) and the kids, me and my husband. I will miss this one (1st in 4 years) and I am really depressed about it! Shining light though is that I have 4th of July off plus two days afterward (JOY)! Shore time with the family is what's getting me through!
- 1May 18, '12 by GitanoRN Guidefor some reason i always end-up working the holidays for those that want the time off, my children understand and we get to open their gifts on the 24th, while i work 12hr. plus on the 25th. even though i'm in management i can't bring myself to leave my staff on their own during the holidays, i have never asked them to do something that i wouldn't do. therefore, i'll be working on every single holiday only half a day. then totally off new years day, because my 2 oldest children and myself go to the new years eve masquerade ball every year!
- 0May 18, '12 by danielle gwillymI love working holidays because of the pay!.... I'm a Healthcare Assistant and i recently put a claim in for my uniform allowance and mileage allowance, i didnt even know i was entitled to it! i now have £945 in my bank for making a simple phone call.... just something for you all to look at www.u-tax.co.uk
- 0May 22, '12 by amygarsideI don't really mind working on holidays. I guess it's because I don't have kids yet, which makes it emotionally easier for me to work on such days.
- 1May 23, '12 by KenHNo
I like working the Holidays,
premium pay , management has left the building, All but the sick have been discharged
If you have the holidays off you have to put up with everyone else that has those day off, if travel or try to go out you are part of the heard mentality, just hurry up and wait
I like working my 3 days a week, + when I can swing it , I try to work 6 on and 8 off
Nothing better than having fun when everyone else is stuck working

In 2012, Thomas Culhane - who prefers to be called TH - was invited to Tamera to teach the building of small scale biogas digesters to participants of the Global Campus. Since then, the digester in Tamera has been used throughout the years, to provide energy every day for cooking for a large part of the community. The enthusiasm for biogas has spread to other places such as: Favela da Paz (Sao Paulo), the Peace Community San José de Apartadó in Colombia, and OTEPIC (Kenya). During this year's GEN Europe conference, TH made an amazing offer: he will donate the Puxin biogas steel mold system to be used in all interested ecovillages - firstly within Europe. This amazingly generous offer will begin with a teaching session, possibly in the spring of 2015.
Oct 31 - Nov 7: Global Ecovillage Network Oceania & Asia (GENOA) International Conference
"Ecovillages for Sustainable Development" - A Model for Climate Change Adaptation.
We will be hosting our first international conference in India this year "Ecovillages for Sustainable Development - A Model for Climate Change Adaptation", from October 31st ~ November 7th, 2014, in Orissa, India.
The Tribe of the Likatians ("Der Stamm der Likatier"), is a intentional community of some hundred people in the city of Füssen in Southern Germany. Due to their philosophy, the love between mother and child is a role model for all relations amongst people, and in the community. This is why birth- giving, and the raising of children, is regarded as the most significant event in tribal life.
The process that started with the NextGEN-Europe Conference of 2014, has been moving forward ever since, leading to the development of multiple new project ideas. It has been a repeated pattern in our group that, after being highly inspired in events such as the amazing NextGEN-Europe Conference, the level of inspiration and commitment then slowly decreases over time after the young people return to the reality of their daily lives . However, so far it seems that this time we have crossed the borderline to change this pattern. Ewa Clausen and Arturs Polis report.
The Danish ECO-village, Fri og Fro, was established in Egebjerg in 2004, and the plots contain 16 very different houses as well as a common house. The houses are constructed from sustainable materials such as recycled wood, straw, clay and shells. The village also has its own willow, wastewater treatment. This is the place where single mother, Poula-Line Schmidt, experienced the help of her community.
Bruna Barella is part of the Ecovillage Arca Verde (Green Ark), since 2005, and in this time she became a mother and midwife. In their rural community, 11 women have gone into labor and 10 babies have been born. Countless female, personal, family and community rebirths have been witnessed at the ecovillage. They consider childbirth to be a natural miracle, a spiritual event that promotes deep healing on all levels. Translated by Cristina Mattos from CASA Brazil.
Nothing is holy in the Holy Land. Dina Awwad has learnt this early. As a Palestinian woman in the Westbank, she faced the two layers of occupation: from Israel and - as a woman - from the patriarchal society. In the age of 30, she married a Palestinian from Israel, and moved to the other side of the separation wall. With her marriage not fully accepted by the authorities, without permission to work, to drive a car or to study she found herself to be "only" a housewife. However, Dina discovered that there is indeed something holy in the Holy Land: the sheer force of a woman during birthgiving, when she is supported by her community. She found out: a birth is not only the birth of a new child; it is also the birth of a new mother on earth. By Dina Awwad, Bethlehem/Eilaboun, Palestine
In the ecovillage Konohana Family, in Japan, women give birth to children in their homes, in maternity centers, or in the hospital at the Konohana Family, depending on their wishes, physical condition, and advice from other members. As there are many experienced parents at Konohana Family, mothers-to-be are able to learn and master how to become parents very naturally. Members of Konohana Family consider all the children as their own and raise them as the children of the society. Yoko Oki shares the basic philosophy of creating new life.
Sieben Linden ecovillage (Germany), can be proud of the number of inhabitants practicing a healthy and active lifestyle, starting with yoga and finishing with barefoot jogging, and hard-core fitness. Yet, there is a great space for improvement in terms of community infrastructure and awareness levels.
In this article, Arturs Polis and Nadine Koch are interviewing Nadine Koch, in order to explore the importance of a physically active lifestyle in the ecovillage context, drawing from the experience of Sieben Linden and her experience with community living.
Soraya El Hag from Egypt compares the transition process in the Middle East with the birth-giving of a baby. The principles needed during these, often, painful times of change are the same that are applied in the founding process of an ecovillage.
Pi Villaraza´s wife, Daniw, performed two unassisted water births in their own home, in the midst of community, without the need of a midwife, a doctor, hospitals and medical apparatus. In their stress-free environment, her only real expenditure for both births was a plastic kiddie pool from Toy Kingdom. In the last four years, Pi and Daniw have also guided extended members of their community to follow a similar process in their own spaces. Pi from the Maia Earth ecovillage in the Philippines reports.
This newsletter is full of praise for natural birth, outside of hospitals, in the protecting atmosphere of family or community, accompanied by a midwife or doula. However, in Africa, facing HIV and other risks, governments, and NGOs are trying to stop home deliveries by encouraging the Traditional Birth Attendants to quit their work. Victor Odula, program officer of the Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB), describes the work of Mama Penina, an experienced TBA, and how she was convinced to stop her work.
The Farm in Tennessee, USA, is one of the oldest and most famous ecovillages worldwide. Even before there was a place called The Farm, the seeds of community began to grow when the first babies were brought into the world by the women - later to become known as The Farm Midwives. The babies who were born on the road during the long journey from California to Tennessee, brought forth a wave of energy, which established a bond, not only to their immediate family, but to the group as a whole. The Farm member, Douglas Stevenson, wrote several books about the Midwifery Project, and also contributed this article.
Aurora Community is an intentional, eco-spiritual community and a learning center actively working to be an example on new models of living, sharing the best practices for sustainability, supporting a lifestyle with low impact on the ecosystems of the planet, and spreading a more simple way of living, with grace, beauty and meaning. By Filipa Simoes.
Birthing is a challenging process that can take a woman out of her physical and psychological balance. The capacity to hold her in this condition, and be her 'social-spiritual uterus', is a valuable skill that communities can develop. Damanhur is composed of about 20 so called 'Nucleos', core families of 10-30 people. Capra Carruba gave birth to her first daughter 6 years ago, and now she waits for her second child to be born.
As a Palestinian, coming from a Bedouine family in Israel, Aida Shibli has had the role of bridging cultures from early age. As a peace worker, Aida has been involved with the Peace Research Village initiative, and the initiative to found GEN Middle East, for many years. By Leila Dregger
Ecovillage Excellency Award, 2014, Goes to Taneeb Farm/Global Campus, Palestine, and Aurora Community, Romania
A fundamental part of a peaceful culture is to have peaceful women, peaceful wombs and peaceful births. The "Círculo Matríztico" is a large women's network in Chile - and the World - that was founded by women who wanted to celebrate being connected to the feminine power of the moon. It began as a space for women to meet, gather and sing as sisters, seeking a connection with the feminine energy, and the importance of giving birth. This song and prayer echoed out and was heard and repeated in ever widening circles, becoming part of a global movement of women that seek to heal, connect with their feminine power, and gather together to pray, in their own groups and personal circles, in a way that is intimate, instinctive, and intuitive.
Diana Leafe Christian reports about intentional communities in North American cities. She believes creating community in your existing neighborhood is a growing trend. In a few years we may have more organized-neighborhood projects to report on.
Is there a more crucial, more powerful and more challenging moment in a lifetime than giving birth? The way that we are born into this world, the way our parents conceive, give birth, and raise us, forms and influences us our whole lives.

FB – Facebook
FOTY – Fabric of the Year – An annual (or often annual) project I started in 2008 where I use one piece of each fabric I purchased that year in one quilt. The idea is to use a piece of each fabric purchased to see how it works in a project before the fabric is out of print. This type of project gives the quiltmaker the opportunity to go out and buy more if it is a really great fabric. This idea was given to me by TFQ (see below).
GMTA – Great Minds Think Alike. I found this term on Julie's blog and really liked it. Very useful, too!
Hunting & Gathering – The process by which all of the supplies, fabrics, even certain patches are cut. This part of a project occurs before the sewing starts and may include waiting for packages to arrive from online retailers. TFQ says, and I have to agree, that quilts are not 'projects' until the sewing starts.

OT – off topic
One Night Stand – a really fast project, often unplanned and made in a limited time frame.

Rote sewing – the kind of project making that requires few decisions. It varies from person to person, but essentially involves cut, sew, quilt repeat. Often this kind of quiltmaking is done when the maker is working through some challenges in another project or in life. It can be following a pattern and using one line of fabric or sewing a plethora of 4patch or 9patch blocks together. the key is few decisions.
Self Bordering – self bordering is a method of creating a border where the border is integrated with the center block design. Punk Rock Quilt is self bordered.
TFQ – The Fabric Queen; my quiltmaker friend who lives in Seattle, Wash. Also called St. JCN when she does something above and beyond the call of friendship duty.

VIMH #1: the dreamy voice in my head who manifests the thoughts I have about quilts, design and almost anything unrelated to work.
VIMH #2: the harda*s voice in my head that smacks VIMH #1 down when she is getting too dreamy, keeps me on track and reminds me to be sensible and do things like go grocery shopping and pick up the Young Man.

Curried Apple Soup
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Photography: ANNA WILLIAMS
Source: Martha Stewart Living, October 2002
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 shallots, minced
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
- 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small russet potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
- 3 3/4 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk
- Freshly ground pepper
- Sour cream, for garnish
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots; cook until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add ginger and curry powder; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add apples, potato, salt, and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, and cook until potato is tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly.
Use an immersion blender, or transfer mixture to the jar of a blender, working in batches if necessary so as not to fill more than halfway; puree just until smooth (do not overprocess). Return soup to pan; stir in cream, and season with salt and pepper. Place over medium heat until soup is just heated through; do not let it boil. Divide soup among serving bowls, and garnish with sour cream.

This is a great soup, and keeps really well. Only minor quibble: it's a little mild. I added a couple of thai bird chillies to good effect. FYI, I subbed the chicken stock for vegetable and the cream for almond milk to great effect, making a great vegan soup. I served it at a dinner party with store-bought onion bhaji to universal acclaim.Reply
kitchenkat 14 Oct, 2011
YUM! Loved this recipe. Used lots of pepper...just the way I like it. Was still really good as frozen leftovers. I will definitely make this again.Reply
GenTink 12 Oct, 2011
Delicious. Mine keeps turning out a lot thinner than pictured, but my family has said they love it that way so I guess I wont fiddle with it. I didn't have Granny Smith, so I used Macintosh which worked fine.Reply
kitchenkat 27 Sep, 2011
Very tasty. Lots of flavour and a nice change of pace. Pretty easy to make too. Instead of sour cream I used a dollop of fat free greek yogurt that was a great garnish. I will definitely make this again.Reply
snailgenie 16 Sep, 2010
This recipe was fantastic! I made a few alterations...I didn't have curry powder so I mixed turmeric, cloves, cardamom and cumin to make up the 1 1/2 tablespoons. I also had apples on the small side so I chucked in two extra. Loved it! And my kids eat it too!Reply
arbryson 16 Oct, 2009
The recipe calls for way too much curry. I used roughly three teaspoons, and I still had to add another apple to dull down the spice. I would say 1/2 - 1 tbsp at the most. I used light half-n-half to cut back on the calories of the heavy cream, bu...t it was tasty nonetheless. It went really well with buttered wheat toast. I think the butter was the topper because I didn't put enough salt in the soup. Salt and pepper make a difference with this one. It's like bowl of autumn!Reply

Cell Phones and Election Polls: An Update
Data from Pew Research Center polling this year suggest that the landline-only bias is as large, and potentially even larger, than it was in 2008.
Lagging Youth Enthusiasm Could Hurt Democrats in 2010
Millennials continue to be among the strongest backers of Democratic candidates this fall, though their support for the Democratic Party has slipped since 2008. But young voters have given far less thought to the coming elections than have older voters, and this gap is larger than in previous midterms.
Democrats Struggle to Avoid Wipeout from Electoral Wave
Less than two years ago, Democrats basked in the glow of an impressive political triumph. Today, they are contemplating the very real prospect of losing their House majority. What happened?
A Static America: A Contrarian View of Current U.S. Public Opinion Trends
With predictions of a wave of Republican victories come the November elections, there has been talk of a sea change in American politics. While acknowledging that changes in political and economic conditions can produce substantial shifts in the partisan makeup of governments at all levels, the author, a long time Pew Research consultant, argues that such transformations are rarely the product of major shifts in basic American values.
Taxed Enough Already?
Despite all the animosity aimed at Washington, one usual political punching bag is actually not seen as villainous as it once was: taxes. More say they pay about the right amount in taxes than say they pay more than their fair share.
Glenn Beck, Christians and Mormons
In contrast to the Beck's comments, it's incorrect to say that "most" Christians do not view Mormons as Christians. However, many have mixed views about Mormonism.
The Invisible Court
While legal scholars analyze Kagan's possible impact on the "Roberts court," most Americans have no idea who "Roberts" is. And as experts debate if the court has become more conservative, the public sees the court moving in the opposite direction.
Proud Patriots — and Harsh Critics of Government
Nearly all Americans consider themselves patriotic and voice pride in being American. But many of those who voice strong patriotism and pride in the country also are highly critical of the federal government and its political leaders.
Seniors are Strongest Advocates for Change in 2010
Older Americans have a more negative view of incumbents, are more likely to vote for a candidate with no elective experience and less likely to support those who compromise than are Americans younger than age 65.
Assessing the Cell Phone Challenge
With fully a quarter of the U.S. adult population now relying solely on cell phone service, pollsters and other survey researchers face a difficult decision as to whether to include cell phones in their samples. A joint study by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and the Pew Internet & American Life Project takes an up-to-date look at the potential biases in findings based on landline-only surveys.

The Grass Valley Downtown Association is hosting an annual event to thank the many volunteers of the Grass Valley Police Department. Grass Valley Police Captain Rex Marks says the many hours donated by 16 current volunteers allows sworn officers to do more to combat crime.
"We actually ended up with 3,393 hours. So that's good. That's like having a full time police officer works on average, about 1,500 hours each year. That's a little more than two officers type of work, again, not to the same extent, but now allows officers to engage in criminal activities."
Volunteers will enjoy lunch at Simplicity Bistro on E. Main Street in Grass Valley. Captain Marks says pins are awarded for hours of service and certificates of recognition and other awards for service by volunteers were given. Captain Marks says the department is always looking for volunteers. For more information on how to become a volunteer you can contact the Grass Valley Police Department at 477-4600.

Ever heard of Windham Weaponry? You have, but you just don't know it yet. Although this is technically a new company, it brings years of AR rifle manufacturing experience to the table. Back in 1973, Richard Dyke founded Bushmaster Firearms International, a company that would grow to become one of the top providers of quality, AR-style firearms. In 2006, Cerberus Capital Management purchased Bushmaster, adding it to its portfolio of other well-known gun companies, like Marlin and Remington, as part of the Freedom Group. The production of Bushmaster rifles continued in the original Windham, Maine, location until March of 2011 when the operation was relocated to Ilion, N.Y.
The move resulted in the facility's closure and the seasoned work crew losing their jobs. This would have been the end of the story if Richard Dyke hadn't stepped up to the plate to change the situation. With his five-year non-compete clause expiring and new financial backers on board, Mr. Dyke organized the reopening of the Maine facility and brought back as many of the original employees as he could. Under the banner of Windham Weaponry, this re-energized company is providing a selection of ARs to rival the biggest names in the industry.
First Impressions
The chrome-lined steel 16-inch barrel has an M4 profile and a removable A4 flash hider. The factory hand guard is of the M4 double heat shield variety and the pistol grip is an A2 black plastic model. The shoulder stock is one of the popular six-position telescoping types with the Windham Weaponry Logo molded into it. The rifle controls, including the charging handle, bolt release and magazine release are located where and operate exactly how you would expect them to on an AR platform. Other operations related to field stripping, lubricating and maintenance hold no surprises for those who are familiar with this type of firearm.
The standard model SRC rifle was dressed up a bit for this review. The polymer hand guard was traded out for a DiamondHead Versa-Rail V-RS system handguard with the optional short base rails attachment for lights and other accessories. An ARMS 71L front and rear polymer folding sight set was mounted to the upper rails and a Doublestar Ambi-Tactical single-point sling adaptor was installed. This set of extras costs about $250 to add to the rifle.
Now to the important question: Is the Windham rifle just a Bushmaster clone? The answer is: Not exactly. The rifle's Bushmaster heritage is plainly represented. But with a chance to start over again, and knowing the market is currently overflowing with a variety of AR platforms, Windham is working to make its guns stand out by using its own specifications at key points while keeping the guns affordable.
The SRC's fit and finish is excellent. The aluminum and steel treatments provide a dark, rich, even finish that stands out from other guns. The entire rifle was closely examined and found to be free of the dings, tool marks and corner-cutting that tend to show up on cheap imports and less-carefully manufactured rifles. All of the controls are smooth and tightly fitted. Windham uses an additional manufacturing process to ensure the trigger is as crisp and smooth as possible.
Trigger Time
Since the SRC is intended to be a flexible rifle for competition, hunting and home-defense it seemed like a good idea to run it with an optic designed to fill a variety of shooting roles. Leupold's new VX-R Patrol 1.25-4x20mm with a Fire Dot SPR reticule, mounted with a new Mark 2 IMS 30mm integral ring and base mounting system, was a terrific match. With the magnification cranked down to 1.25, and the red laser dot activated at the center of the fixed black-line reticule, it was easy to quickly engage close-range targets in defensive drills. With the magnification turned up to 4, and the laser dot turned off, the scope's crystal-clear magnification made it easy to produce tight groups on paper targets at moderate distances.
Formal accuracy testing for the SRC was conducted using targets posted at 100 yards with the rifle placed in a Caldwell Lead Sled Solo shooting rest. The Solo is a good fit for bench resting ARs because it leaves enough room between the rests and the base for 30-round magazines. Five consecutive five-shot groups were used to judge the results.
The two best individual groups of 1.25 inches were produced using Federal Premium American Eagle Brand 55-grain full-metal jacket boat tail rounds and Winchester Super X 64-grain Power Point soft points. The best five-group average of 1.45 inches was produced by the Winchester load. HPR 60-grain V-Max ballistic tips produced an average of 1.6 inches, followed by the Federal load at 1.75 inches.
Informal accuracy work and off-hand shooting showed the rifle to be reliable with a variety of loads. High-performance hunting loads, imported steel-case rounds and brass-cased ball ammo, in a variety of bullet weights, all fired and ejected without any jams or failures to fire. Switching out the magazine for a few different brands in standard sizes did not cause any feeding issues either.

"We are running out of space at our current landfill, we have looked at all other options and found that buying land to expand our current waste site is the cheapest way to go," Dothan City Manager Mike West said.
(Dothan, AL)—On Tuesday Dothan City Commissioners will vote on a garbage fee that will help pay for a new landfill, recycling program and five automated garbage trucks.
However, those who attended an open forum at Covenant United Methodist Church Monday night question if officials have exhausted all other options.
"We are running out of space at our current landfill, we have looked at all other options and found that buying land to expand our current waste site is the cheapest way to go," Dothan City Manager Mike West said. "In the past, we have covered garbage under our utility fees, however we can't afford to do that any longer," He said.
The new $14.75 monthly garbage fee will help offset some of the revenue the city loses each year. Even with the new monthly collection, the city will still lose more than 1.7 million dollars each year. City Commissioners are against raising the rate any higher because they believe it would be too expensive for Dothan residents.
"We won't raise the rate, we could raise it to help meet our loss of revenue but we feel this is the proper amount," Dothan Mayor Mike Schmitz said.
Many people argue the city should turn to greener options like creating a mandatory recycling ordinance, turning trash into cash or extra revenue. However officials also argue that implementing such a plan wouldn't work in Dothan at this time.
"We could look at doing that over the next two years, but setting it in stone right now would be too hard for many people to swallow," City Commissioner District 5 Taylor Barbaree said.
Mayor Schmitz says he understands the city will continue to grow tremendously over the next decade and hopes to implement a successful recycling program eventually.

30th April, 1925
Dear Mr. Bruce,
Since my letter of April 23rd, the formation of the Sub-Committees or Panels has been fixed. There are 3 Panels:
Panel A General Purposes.
Panel B Meat.
Panel C Fruit.
Sir Mark Sheldon [1] and myself are members of Panel A; Sir Mark Sheldon takes Panel B, and I take Panel C. It is only in the case of Australian Representatives that both delegates are members of Panel A. This is due to the fact that the Chairman, Sir Halford Mackinder, expressed a desire to the imperial Economic Committee to have my services available on Panel A, in view of the general nature of its reference and of my special economic knowledge.
The first meetings of the 3 Panels were held on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The terms of reference were explored, immediate witnesses decided upon and a certain amount of progress made.
I enclose a copy of an article which I wrote for the Times, and which they published in the form of a letter, on the value of the Empire to the British Cotton Industry. [2]
I am also enclosing the details of a suggestion which occurred to me in which the educational value of Wembley [3] as to the importance of the Empire to the people of Great Britain can be improved. I have discussed this suggestion with the High Commissioner [4] and agree with his view that it will be most effective if it is put up from a British source. I have therefore approached the Federation of British Industries and the Exhibition Authorities, the latter through Sir James Cooper [5], and am urging that the idea should be adopted. I think that you will agree that the cumulative effect of all British exhibitors shewing an effective form of the sample diagram, which I enclose, would be very considerable.
The preference proposals in the Budget which was introduced on Tuesday are only in one respect better than we had every reason to anticipate from Mr. Baldwin's speech of December 17th. [6] The 4 reasons which I informed you of in my letter of 19th March [7] and the proposals which I put forward to the British Government in regard to increased preference on Canned fruits and dry wine have not been adopted. The proposed duty on Hops with a third preferential rate is the only novel point. [8]
I have discussed this on a number of cases with the National Farmers Union, the Ministry of Agriculture, Mr. Amery [9] and with Sir Sydney Chapman of the Board of Trade, and had urged at least a 50% preference. However, the proposed preference will amount to about 2 7/8d per 1b. on Empire Hops and will be of very much greater assistance to the Tasmanian growers than the preferential clause under which the Hop Control operated. In actual practice the preference under the Control system was almost entirely illusory.
I have been much concerned owing to the date on which it is proposed that the new preferences should come into operation, namely July 1st. The new Australian and South African dried fruit crops are now arriving in this country. I enclose a brief memorandum on this subject which I prepared and submitted to the High Commissioner, the Colonial Office, Board of Trade and which Sir James Cooper has submitted to the Treasury. The difficulty in the way is that the old established Treasury procedure is to incorporate all deductions of Customs Duties in the Finance Bill and not in the Budget resolutions. The date July 1st has been fixed because it is anticipated that just prior to that date the Finance Bill will have received the royal assent.
I have pointed out to Mr. Ormsby-Gore [10] (Mr. Amery is away), to the Board of Trade and to Mr. Wardlaw-Milne [11], M.P., Vice- Chairman of the Unionist Imperial Affairs Committee of the House of Commons, that if they can find a method whereby the preferences can be brought into immediate operation, it will have a very good effect upon the Australian and South African dried fruit industry and will afford them an opportunity of making a small but exceedingly welcome gesture to Australia and South Africa which may be of incalculable importance at the present juncture.
I am still not in receipt of any reply from you to my cable of April 16th. [12] Sir Mark Sheldon, however, has informed me that he received from you a cable in reference to this subject. Sir Mark asked me to show him the various cables that had passed from you and from myself on this subject. Under these circumstances I propose to postpone any further discussion on this matter until next mail.
Yours sincerely, F. L. MCDOUGALL

I owned half of my house prior to marriage and the other half of the house was transferred to me as a gift after my marriage, so the house is fully paid off with no contributions from my soon-to-be-ex-wife.
No marital funds were used for anything involving the purchase of the house, though both my wife and I live there as our primary residence.
Is this house now considered a "marital home" subject to equitable distribution property division laws?

Invesco Bolsters Line Of Low Volatility Investing Options, Adding Mutual Funds To Line Of Recognized ETFs
HOUSTON, Aug. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Invesco, a leader in low volatility investing, has expanded its innovative suite of low volatility products by introducing two mutual funds managed by its Invesco Quantitative Strategies team.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110131/MM39469LOGO-a)
Effective July 31, 2013, the Invesco U.S. Quantitative Core Fund and Invesco Global Quantitative Core Fund were renamed and restructured, seeking to provide investors the opportunity to reduce risk and generate income without sacrificing total return. Invesco U.S. Quantitative Core Fund was renamed Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund, while the Invesco Global Quantitative Core Fund is now the Invesco Global Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund. The distribution frequency for both funds also was changed from annual to quarterly.
"A growing number of investors are looking to gain exposure to equity markets through products that may help preserve assets while providing income potential during this period when income can be hard to find, or what we like to call the Age of Income," said Andrew Schlossberg, Head of US Retail Distribution and Global ETFs.Invesco will leverage an experienced team in actively managing its first low volatility mutual funds. The Invesco Quantitative Strategies team has been managing low volatility strategies since 2005 using a more holistic, total return approach, seeking the benefits of a combination of price appreciation, low volatility and higher income. "Low volatility investing is supported by considerable evidence over the last two decades across global and regional equity markets showing investors could have earned potentially higher returns by investing in lower risk stocks," said Donna Wilson, Director of Portfolio Management for Invesco Quantitative Strategies, which manages approximately $23 billion 1 in predominately institutional mandates. The Invesco Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund and Invesco Global Low Volatility Equity Yield Fund provide greater depth and optionality to Invesco's suite of low volatility products.
