Less than 30% of English speech is visible on the mouth.
Even though some deaf and hard of hearing people seem proficient at speech reading, or lip reading, they are actually "guessing" more than half of the conversation. Because of the way English is produced, many of the "sounds" are hidden from view. Using prior language knowledge, context, and a technique called "closure," people who are deaf or hard of hearing can fill in the blanks and follow some conversations. Because of the importance of context, speech reading a familiar person speaking a single word, name, or place is less than 20% accurate whereas speech reading an entire sentence may be as high as 80%. Accents, facial hair, speech impairments, and poor lighting create additional problems for speech reading students.

December 22, 2014
After about two and a half hours, a jury found 52-year-old Alvin Sanders guilty of first degree murder Friday night. The crime took place on 7th street on December 10 of last year.
Defense attorneys claimed that it was the murder victim Tony Cleveland who had a history of starting trouble. They say he initiated the fight the night of his murder. The prosecution was able to convince the jury otherwise.
In closing statements they said Sanders and Cleveland had been involved in many confrontations. Last December it came to a head when Sanders took a steak knife out of his kitchen drawer and put an end to arguments.
Sanders also told Rockford police several conflicting stories. Prosecuting lawyers say it was Sanders' dishonest reports to the police that sealed the guilt verdict.
Sanders is facing 20 to 60 years in prison for this first degree murder conviction.

The renegade Democratic Republic of Congo general Laurent Nkunda is the leader of the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP), which has an estimated 5,000 fighters.
A Rwandan-Congolese joint force announced on January 23 that they had arrested him in Rwanda while trying to escape arrest.
Nkunda says he is fighting to protect the Tutsi people in the eastern DRC.
He says the government in DR Congo has not protected them from the Rwandan Hutu militia which escaped from Rwanda after helping slaughter 800,000 Rwandan Tutsis and moderate Hutus in 1994.
He also says he is fighting to liberate all of DR Congo from a corrupt government.
Talking to Al Jazeera in November, Nkunda defended the actions of the CNDP, saying the group was "looking for a solution" to the country's many problems. "If you can compare Congo with other countries, there is no life, there is no economy, there is no salary, there is no administration, no justice - so how can we think we are destroying anything?" he said.
Fighting in Rwanda
Born in 1967, with Rwandan roots, Nkunda began his military career in the Tutsi-led Rwandan forces which eventually stopped the country's genocide.
He returned to his homeland, at the time called Zaire, to fight with rebels headed by Laurent-Desire Kabila, who in 1997 overthrew the dictator Mobutu Sese Seko with the help of the Rwandan and Angolan armies.
When the Congo war started in 1998, eventually drawing in six African countries, Nkunda became a senior commander in a Rwandan-backed Congolese rebel group which held a big area in the eastern part of the country.
After a peace deal ended the war in 2003, Nkunda joined Congo's army but quit in 2004 to launch the CNDP.
Nkunda led 4,000 soldiers to rise up and capture the South Kivu capital of Bukavu in 2004. An international arrest warrant was issued against him for alleged war crimes committed while occupying the city, but Congolese officials say this has expired.
Human Rights Watch has accused Nkunda's forces of mass killings, torture, rape, and the recruitment of child soldiers.
'Massacred civilians'
During fighting in east Congo last autumn, Human Rights Watch said Nkunda's fighters massacred dozens of civilians in the town of Kiwanja after clashing with the pro-government Mai Mai militia.
The fighting, which drew in Congolese government forces, displaced more than a quarter of a million civilians.
In August, Nkunda's fighters pulled out of a tenuous peace process, effectively ending a fragile ceasefire dating back to a January 2008 peace deal. Nkunda's men and government troops each accuse the other of provoking clashes.
Monuc, the UN peacekeeping contingent, has blamed Nkunda's troops for instigating most of the recent fighting and has called on militias in the east to abide by the January peace agreement.
Nkunda in turn has accused Monuc of bias.
Following his arrest, Al Jazeera's central Africa correspondent Yvonne Ndege said: "My sense is that Nkunda could spend a very long time in a Congolese prison, maybe even for the rest of his life."

Drive carefully!Be on the lookout for turtles and other wildlife
Ed. Note: The following note came in from reader Annie Kurz, which reminds us that the appeal of Block Island is not only our physical landscape but also the diverse and beautiful wildlife that inhabit the island. We remind our readers, and ourselves, to drive safely and at the speed limit. It's the best way to keep everyone safe.
As I drove south along Corn Neck Road on May 25 to deliver some of my thinned-out daffodil bulbs for selling at the Library's fundraising sale, something on the side of the road caught my attention and I pulled over to see a really hefty snapping turtle. As I approached it very cautiously to photograph it, another driver stopped.
My friend Jens came and said we ought to measure it (and that I ought to bring the photos directly to The Block Island Times). A third person, Nancy, headed to the library, also stopped to look.
The turtle had wounds on its head and made all of us speculate that it had been hit by a car; the head atypically rested on the ground. Jens noticed that there were drag marks in the wet road from its center to the grassy side where it lay. When I first tried to lift the face with twigs for a better shot, the turtle opened its mouth but lay unmoving afterward.
I got the small tape measure out of my purse and asked Jens, as I caught it on camera, to hold it over the turtle. He cautiously did so and announced the turtle was roughly 20 inches long. It looked longer to me but my photos did not show the tape measure clearly enough to prove or disprove my impression.
By this time, a fourth person arrived and opined that the turtle might be better off dying in the shrubs; I said it probably felt so awful that moving it would add to its suffering. I offered Nancy a lift into town and we went off in the rain.
On my return, the turtle was no longer on the side of the road. I am no great fan of snapping turtles, but I can only hope that whoever moved it did not simply pick it up by its tail and hurl it over the stone wall into the bushes.
People please be very careful around snapping turtles. Their mouth can reach all the way round to their tails and when they bite down they don't release until their pray is dead.

this summer has been so much fun in vienna. there has been so much sunshine, we've enjoyed some amazing times with friends, been to budapest and seen lots of live bands. including patti smith this week who was totally AMAZING (can't stop singing gloria in my head).
talking of music that is stuck in my head i absolutely adore cat power's new song ruin. but be warned, its very catchy! i can't wait for the release of her new album sun on 3rd september.
i'm not really sure what i've been doing with the rest of my time. the great gatsby was the last book i read but that was aaaaages ago. i've started the stranger's child by alan hollinghurst but its sadly been sitting unread. we have become obsessed with watching breaking bad though. its seriously brilliant. so maybe i've just been watching lots of tv!
i had to say goodbye to work colleagues this week which was also very weird. it feels like maybe i'm on holiday and i'll be going back in a couple of weeks. tonight is our final night in vienna and i'm not looking forward to saying our last goodbyes. sad times. but also exciting new times ahead.

If you read the About page on this site, you've seen a brief list of the many projects I (Sheryl) and my partner Greg have been involved in over the past 20 years. In addition to writing, blogging, and editing, as well as producing and promoting concerts, we've also published zines, ran a record label, and I even did a stint as a crafter, making and selling purses until my carpal tunnel syndrome threatened to require surgery.
We are confident that we know the world of event organizing and promotion, as well as most of the various aspects of the music biz, the indie writing and publishing arena, and even the world of crafts and craft shows. We've done it all over the years.
But our real impetus for creating the Toronto Indie Arts Market was the frustration we felt at not being able to find a place to sell our creations (right now, that's books), and the frustration we saw in other people who are in the same situation. An explanation, then, of how it all came about and what we hope to achieve, over at the blog of our publishing imprint Stained Pages Press.

Tangeretin Protects Against Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Neurotoxin
Byron's Comments:
Excellent protection for nerve cells.
Study Title:Methoxyflavones protect cells against endoplasmic reticulum stress and neurotoxin.
Study Abstract:
Enhanced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress leads to cell death in various pathophysiological situations. During a search for compounds that regulate ER stress, we identified methoxyflavones, a group of flavonoids, as strong protective agents against ER stress. Analysis in mouse insulinoma MIN6 cells revealed that methoxyflavones mildly activated the eukaryotic initiation factor 2alpha and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor pathways, but not the XBP1 pathway, and induced downstream genes, including glucose-regulated protein (GRP) 78, a molecular chaperone in the ER. The protective effect of methoxyflavones was enhanced by agents that increase intracellular cAMP levels such as forskolin, dibutyryl-cAMP and IBMX, but suppressed by the protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H-89, suggesting involvement of the PKA pathway in the regulation of ER stress by methoxyflavones. Consistent with the results in cultured cells, pretreatment of mice with tangeretin, a methoxyflavone, enhanced expression of GRP78 and HO-1 without causing ER stress in renal tubular epithelium and prevented tunicamycin-induced cell death. Furthermore, preadministration of tangeretin in mice enhanced expression of GRP78 in the substantia nigra pars compacta and protected dopaminergic neurons against 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, a neurotoxin that induces both oxidative and ER stress. These results suggest that methoxyflavones play an important role in the regulation of ER stress and could be a therapeutic target for the ER stress-related diseases.

|William Lutley Sclater
Philip Lutley Sclater FRS FRGS FZS FLS (4 November 1829 – 27 June 1913) was an English lawyer and zoologist.[1][2] In zoology, he was an expert ornithologist, and identified the main zoogeographic regions of the world. He was Secretary of the Zoological Society of London for 42 years, from 1860–1902.
Early life[edit]
Sclater was born at Tangier Park, in Wootton St Lawrence, Hampshire, where his father William Lutley Sclater had a country house. George Sclater-Booth, 1st Baron Basing was Philip's elder brother. Philip grew up at Hoddington House where he took an early interest in birds. He was educated in school at Twyford and at thirteen went to Winchester College and later Christ Church, Oxford, where he studied scientific ornithology under Hugh Edwin Strickland.
In 1851 he began to study law and was admitted a Fellow of Corpus Christi College. In 1856 he travelled to America and visited Lake Superior and the upper St. Croix, canoeing down it to the Mississippi. Sclater wrote about this in "Illustrated travels". In Philadelphia he met Baird, John Cassin and Joseph Leidy at the Academy of Natural Sciences. After returning to England, he practised law for several years and attended meetings of the Zoological Society.
In 1858, Sclater published a paper in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society, setting up six zoological regions which he called the Palaearctic, Aethiopian, Indian, Australasian, Nearctic and Neotropical. These zoogeographic regions are still in use. He also developed the theory of Lemuria during 1864 to explain zoological coincidences relating Madagascar to India.
In 1874 he became private secretary to his brother George Sclater-Booth, MP (later Lord Basing). He was offered a permanent position in civil service but he declined. In 1875, he became President of the Biological Section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science,[3] which he joined in 1847 as a member.
Sclater was the founder and editor of The Ibis, the journal of the British Ornithologists' Union. He was Secretary of the Zoological Society of London from 1860 to 1902. He was briefly succeeded by his son, before the Council of the Society made a long-term appointment.
In 1901 he described the okapi to western scientists although he never saw one alive. His office at 11 Hanover Square became a meeting place for all naturalists in London. Travellers and residents shared notes with him and he corresponded with thousands.
His collection of birds grew to nine thousand and these he transferred to the British Museum in 1886. At around the same time the museum was augmented by the collections of Gould, Salvin and Godman, Hume, and others to become the largest in the world. Among Sclater's more important books were Exotic Ornithology (1866–69) and Nomenclator Avium (1873), both with Osbert Salvin; Argentine Ornithology (1888–89), with W.H. Hudson; and The Book of Antelopes (1894–1900) with Oldfield Thomas.
In June 1901 he received an honorary doctorate of Science (D.Sc.) from the University of Oxford.[4]
On 16 October 1862 he married Jane Anne Eliza Hunter Blair; the couple had 1 daughter and 4 sons.[5] Their eldest son, William Lutley Sclater, was also an ornithologist. Their third son, Captain Guy Lutley Sclater, died in 1914 in the accidental explosion that sank HMS Bulwark.
Animals named after Sclater[edit]
- Sclater's Lemur (Eulemur flavifrons)
- Dusky-billed parrotlet (the name Psittacula sclateri Gray, 1859, is currently viewed as a subspecies of Forpus modestus (Cabanis, 1848).
- Sclater's monal (Lopophorus sclateri)
- Erect-crested penguin (Eudyptes sclateri)
- Ecuadorian cacique (Cacicus sclateri).
- Mexican chickadee (Poecile sclateri)
- Bay-vented cotinga (Doliornis sclateri)
Although eclipsed by his contemporaries (like Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace), Sclater may be considered as a precursor of biogeography and even pattern cladistics. For instance he writes in 1858 that "...little or no attention is given to the fact that two or more of these given geographical divisions may have much closer relations to each other than to any third ...".[6]

If you could have one last conversation with someone dear to you who has passed on, would you? This may be your chance when psychic-medium Mollie Morning Star hosts a demonstration of mediumship entitled Denver: An Evening of Messages from Spirit, on April 27 in Golden at the Denver Marriott West. Shows like Crossing Over and Long Island Medium starring popular psychic mediums like John Edward and Theresa Caputo have made the issue of psychic mediumship more mainstream. However, these popular mediums came into their psychic gifts at a young age, unlike Morning Star who found herself suddenly psychic in her 30s. The commencement of Morning Star's first entry into the world of communication with the deceased was exactly five short years ago. Previously, the medium worked as a mural painter, and on a Friday evening in March 2008 she was saying her routine prayers before turning in for the evening when she recalls clearly hearing the words, "Love is the best tool for healing." Immediately, she could feel a sensation travel through her entire body. Oddly, the voice and feeling didn't scare her. She woke up the next morning sensing the intensified energy around her. Painfully loud and overwhelming, the energy coming in prompted her friends to suggest she see a psychic. It was that psychic reading where she first learned she was a medium. Psychic-medium, Mollie Morning Star. Photo courtesy of Nick Resch. Desperate to somehow turn off all this extrasensory ability and noise, she researched and enrolled at Arthur Findlay College in England. The college is equivalent to a Hogwarts for adults in real life, not a movie. Through her studies, back-to-back courses to learn how to shut off or control this gift and tests of her abilities with instructors, the medium instead found that she truly had a special gift. This caused a change of heart for Morning Star who decided then that she wanted to use this gift to help people heal. "It became very clear to me, that what I was able to bring through without any trying or effort, was so much clearer and so much more accurate than what other people there were doing that I realized I had something really special and embraced what I could do with it." The medium has been reading the living and reuniting them with loved ones crossed-over ever since. Perhaps the oddest part of all in meeting Morning Star is that she is so "normal". She's the mother to two young-adult children whom she has raised as a single mom. Single, not because she hasn't ventured into dating, but perhaps because of the odd response she seems to get everytime the familiar get-to-know-you question of "What do you do for a living?" comes up. Nonetheless, covered in vibrant and colorful feminine style that exudes a classy, vintage vibe, she can't help but come across cheery and adorable in all of her "girl next door" glory. Psychic Medium, Mollie Morning Star. Photo courtesy of Nick Resch. What's her best advice if you are interested in having a reading? Go from word of mouth of referrals from friends or people you know and check out sites like www.thebestpsychicdirectory.com, which is a directory of mediums and psychics as well as reviews unaffiliated with any of the psychics themselves. This she says, can assist you in finding an ethical psychic/medium. "Mediumship needs to be used with great discretion… I limit people to twice a year and don't ever encourage someone to develop a dependency on mediumship. It's to help you through your grief, not to keep you in a certain place." Morning Star's April 27 event will be held at the Denver Marriot West at 7p.m. and tickets may be purchased by clicking HERE or through her website at www.MollieMorningStar.com. 8 Responses Cathy Pettry April 3, 2013 I went to one of Mollie events in Chicago area and she is very sweet and down. To earth Reply Tina Babloski-Anderson April 3, 2013 I have had a phone reading with Mollie a few years ago and I also went to her show in Tampa FL. I just love her and so does my love one in heaven. She is an awesome, beautiful and down to earth person. Reply Janet S-b April 3, 2013 Mollie is an awesome medium and I encourage anyone with an interest to go see her! You will be blown away! Reply joanna rydzewski April 3, 2013 I have been with Molly here is Tampa area twice. The first time I met her she didnt know anything about me but she certainly did by the time the event was over. My mom brought my dad, brother, brother in law thru to us. She told us things that no one would ever know including the sister I had with me. She is 100% real and has me believer in contacting the other side. I even gave christmas gifts to the second show to my three best friends who really needed to have thier family come thru. Two of three did have the experience. Also I want your to know that people had thier earns there sitting on seat, people had all kinds of stuff with them thinking it would help. It doesnt. You need to just come and enjoy the event and hope your family will push thru and come thru to you. If not your happy for the ones who do get thier family message. She is reasonable in price too. She is not trying to make money off your experiences. She is not fake and again she could not have known anything ahead of time because it was personal stories not public info. I recommend everyone to at least give it a try once… maybe you will go again… your never know… PS Hi Molly …. cant wait till you come to Tampa again …. Reply Julie Summers April 4, 2013 I spent an evening in spirit with Mollie in LaCrosse WI, I was lucky to have a departed loved one visit thru her. She was exact on every detail and a joy to be around. Highly recommend her. Reply Kay Rogge Martinac McIntyre April 5, 2013 She's the real deal! Had a phone reading a few years ago & participated in a group reading last year. The info she brought through was spot on & things no one else would know. She even brought through an event that I had completely forgotten about and only remembered and made sense of at the end of the evening. evening. She is genuine& sincere with a good sense of humor. Reply Sheryl Hill April 5, 2013 A Morning Star indeed. Evidence of life after death soothes grief. Molly was my first experience with a psychic. Trenched in grief from the death of my teenage son, Molly said he was going to send me a beautiful reminder of his love on Mother's Day. I found, quite by accident, first grade drawings of two hearts with Mom and Ty inside. Feel the love. Reply Jacqueline Zralka April 17, 2013 I had a wonderful time at the reading with Molly!!! I went with a couple of close friends after they told me such wonderful experiences they had, so I had to go and see what is all about, and it was everything my friends said and more!!! I didn't expect anything but had such a wonderful reading from Molly from some very close family and friends that have passed over and one incredible message from them about how much I had meant to them throughout the years, It made me so so very happy, she was right on and the real deal!!! If you have a chance to see her you just have to go Im going again in May I truely cannot wait!!! Reply Leave a Reply Cancel reply

Mechanical Repairs & Troubleshooting On School Buses and Related Operating Systems.
Thursday, June 27, 2013
School Bus Garage Photos
2005...I remember it well, we still had mechanical diesel engines in the fleet. They were semi-retired as spare buses and just this year we are auctioning off our last mechanical engine equipped units (Cat 3116 models). The 3116 Cat gave us pretty good service but nothing stellar to speak of.
I believe there were 4 engine rebuilds because of the exhaust valve dropping at a very bad moment. Usually the high heat pulling full load would cause the mishap. It was a lot of work since the block was solid without removable piston liners. The entire engine had to be removed from the chassis, stripped down and rebuilt from scratch. The rebuilt head ran about 1500 dollars Canadian, if the cylinder wall was scored then the block was sent to a machine shop which MUST know the repair steps when boring and re-sleeving these engines.
There is a special jig to be used to secure the block so it doesn't warp during the re-bore. It adds up to about 5K labor and parts. This of course is far less than buying a long block. The top end on the 3116 was the weakest part of the engine so valve adjustment is crucial. The engine operating temperature is a factor as well so they need TLC or they start to heat up over 200 degrees.
The engine fan in the pusher school buses were transversely mounted so it was hard to keep the temperature down especially in warmer months. We disabled the shutters (opened permanently) and installed an over riding dash switch to turn the engine fan on full which took some horsepower out of the engine. In the video you'll see the coolant sensor that runs the hydraulic fan solenoid.
When you unhook the sensor wire the fan runs full on. The dash switch we installed for the driver just caused a break in the circuit. It should also be mentioned that the cooling system also had to cool the transmission oil which could get up to 200 degrees. The radiator mounted sideways at the back of the bus had a hard time cooling especially when the bus was in 3rd gear with a full load climbing a hill in 80 degree weather. Thanks for viewing this post and I hope you liked the video.

An outstanding presentation John.
I have learned so much within the time of your presentation. In Toronto we send everything out, wish the administration could see beyond the present practice. A real mechanic is the way to go, parts changers are dime a dozen. Thanks again John.
Fred Lew-a-king
Dear Sir.
my Name is Nelson Im a beginner Bus mechanic I was traktor and route trucks Wonderbread mechanic,im diagnosing and repairing a 2004 C-7 cat engine.engine run normal but after warming up engine,theres trouble,engine only cranking not running my boss order to replaced crank sensor and cam sensor all fuel filters are replace and air filter ,still same issue.I also checked all Fuses and wire are good, Im residing San Francisco, California,it takes Hour to get this BUS running,im working First student durnham Bus.
Sincerely yours
Nelson Borja
I bought a school bus and am redoing to start my own charter business. It was running great. Then this morning it wouldn't turn over, but the rear start would turn on the engine. The front start still wouldn't turn over. Any ideas what I should start doing.
- John Whelan said...
Thank you Fred for your comment!
Nelson... I would check the HEUI high pressure oil pump. It controls injection and may cause debris to enter the injector galleries and cause lots of trouble. Pull the dipstick and look for fine filings.
Clark, There is a hard wire circuit from the ignition to the rear if this is a pusher bus? It's usually a purple colored 12 guage wire. Just check your ignition switch and trace it back.

Lanceolated WarblerLocustella lanceolata
4 3/4" (12 cm). This small, tan to olive-brown Old World warbler is heavily streaked both above and below. The overall pattern may suggest some New World warblers in non-breeding plumage, or perhaps one of the less distinctive sparrows. Smaller than most sparrows.
Call:"rink-tink-tink" Song: a thin reeling.
Moist, shrubby areas and clearings in forest, often near water. Winters in a variety of wetland habitats.
Widespread breeder across Russia, also breeds in Finland and northeastern China. Winters in India, Southeast Asia, Phillipines and Malaysian islands.
This small, non-descript bird is most likely to visit our range in the Aleutian and Pribilof islands, and it is rare but somewhat regular in the western Aleutians, where it has bred. At least one specimen has been found in California during fall migration. Due to its small size and drab coloration, this species may be more common in the Aleutians than generally recognized.

Neil Sedaka: Rock 'N' Roll Survivor:
The Inside Story of his Incredible Comeback by Rich Podolsky (2013)
Wednesday, July 30, 2014
Those of us of a certain age grew up to the strains of comma comma down dooby doo down down, comma comma, down dooby doo down down, breaking up is hard to do. That is Neil Sedaka's signature song, Breaking up is Hard to do. It was released in 1962. Podolsky tells the story of Neil's early days in Brooklyn. He started his musical training at the prestigious Juilliard School at the tender age of seven. Sedaka became a member of the group of Brill Building writers which included Carole King and the late Gerry Goffin. Neil Sedaka and his lyricist partner, Howie Greenfield, penned a number of hits including Stupid Cupid (for Connie Francis) and Calendar Girl. Times changed when the Beatles and the British Invasion took the United States by storm. Many of the teen idols like Paul Anka, Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, and Ricky Nelson struggled to stay relevant. Fortunately, Sedaka was able to make a comeback many years later with Solitaire, Love will Keep us Together and Laughter in the Rain. Nostalgia galore!
The Humans
Monday, July 21, 2014
The Humans is a book I could reread once a year. This is a bold statement, I know, especially since the premise is an alien assassin has been sent to Earth to kill a mathematician and erase all evidence of a potentially dangerous theorem. The story and our narrator, the alien acclimating to human life, become much more. I appreciate a narrator that confides in the reader and becomes a fully developed voice in your mind's ear. Matt Haig's alien fills that role beautifully. He allows you to join him on his journey and rediscover what it means to be human and vulnerable. Wrapping up the book is an explanation of where Matt Haig was in life when he created this story. The Humans becomes an even greater treasure for it. I will not spoil it though. I hope on some level you connect with this novel and its narrator.
Red Rising
Thursday, July 17, 2014
Action-packed, interesting characters, and a well-thought out plot make Pierce Brown's debut novel a winner. Darrow is the main character in this sci-fi thriller. He is a hell digger and a "red", the lowest-class human. He, and other reds, live beneath the surface of Mars where they work in the mines to prepare the surface of the planet for human habitation. What Darrow and the other reds don't know is that the surface of Mars is suitable for life. In fact, humans have been living on the surface of Mars for over a hundred years. This discovery, coupled with the circumstances of his beloved wife's death, pave the way for Darrow to throw a wrench in "gold" society (the upper-class).
I have seen multiple reviews that compare this book to The Hunger Games or refer to it as a "young adult" book. This is definitely a book written for adults and the only comparison I would make is that both books are the first in a planned trilogy and both are phenomenal. I can hardly wait for book #2 (scheduled to release in early 2015)!
Mister Wonderful: A Love Story
Monday, July 14, 2014
This tale begins with a blind date. Marshall—a middle-aged, divorced, extremely lonely and awkward gentleman waits for the woman his friends set him up with to arrive. Natalie shows up (to Marshall's surprise), and is beautiful, genuine, and intelligent. Unfortunately, as their night unfolds, it becomes obvious that Natalie has some skeletons in her closet, and more than Marshall bargained for is revealed.
I found Mister Wonderful to be one of Clowes' most human pieces. It's impressive how in such a brief span of pages, this author/artist can show us half a character's lifespan with such convincing realism. Because of this, we feel that we know Marshall completely. He is bitter, world-weary and has a mocking sense of humor with hilarious bite. He is socially awkward, unused to people, and almost neurotic. We see this when Marshall's racing inner thoughts literally cover up other character's word balloons; he then misses his chance frequently in conversation, responding with something totally inappropriate. I found this especially inventive on Clowes' part and something many of us can relate to from time to time.
We might feel Marshall's familiarity, yet Clowes surprises us with twists and turns of his character. Marshall is clearly harboring some explosive anger, and releases it periodically throughout the story, sometimes to Natalie's shock. This graphic novel is full of surprises, humor, sweetness, darkness, and humanity in all the right places and extends beyond the "slice of life" genre into something much more.
Golden Boy
Friday, July 11, 2014
This is an extraordinarily compulsive read that I found serendipitously in our fiction section, having been drawn to the color on the spine and then intrigued by the jacket description. The story centers around Max, an intersex teenager. Max and his parents have guarded the secret of Max's identity very carefully. The three of them have very different struggles and perspectives over how Max should self-identify in a world offering him only two choices. The author presents the story quite beautifully through the perspectives of multiple characters. There is a truly horrible scene toward the beginning that spans several pages (this is not a spoiler). There is also a bit of profanity, mainly from teenage characters; however, even if you have problems with profanity it is absolutely worth reading anyway. I cannot recommend this title enough. A profoundly, immensely moving book, it more than deserves all the 5-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
Tuesday, July 1, 2014
Jamie Ford creates a poignant recollection of history with his debut novel, "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet". Henry Lee is a recent widower living in Seattle's Chinatown. The year is 1986, and yesterday's memories have assumed a place in the present with the re-opening of the majestic Panama Hotel. Artifacts found in the basement of the old hotel transport Henry back to 1942 when he was a student at Rainier Elementary serving lunch to his classmates alongside his Japanese friend Keiko Okabe. The twelve year olds attend the school on scholarship, and their respective ethnicities result in teasing and bullying by some of the other students. Meanwhile, World War II threatens freedom on the homefront as Keiko's family faces relocation to a Japanese internment camp.
While a young Henry Lee struggles to fit in at school, he also faces turmoil at home. As the United States enters the War, Henry's Father, a proud Chinese man, wages his own war of the heart with the Japanese. In spite of a fierce disagreement with his Father's position, Henry must keep his friendship with Keiko a secret. And though his parents speak Catonese, Henry's Father requires his son to speak only English at home. This further compromises any effective communication between father and son. Loyalties are challenged as Chinese traditions and American culture collide.
Japanese family treasures long hidden in the darkness of the Panama Hotel force a 56 year old Henry to confront devotion to the memory of his deceased wife Ethel alongside the strong memories pulling him back to the past. The richness of history contrasts with modern day regrets, and Henry cannot help but wonder if his own past can be rewritten. Meanwhile, he seeks to strengthen the weak relationship he has with his own son Marty so mistakes of the last generation are not repeated. The tapestry of Ford's story is further enriched by Henry's love of jazz music, Keiko's life behind barbed wire, Mrs. Beatty, and a street performer named Sheldon.
The split narrative used by the author to connect the story between the decades spanning 1942 and 1986 is effective. The memories are relayed from Henry's perspective, and readers will quickly realize little effort is required to be immersed into the lives of such engaging characters. "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" is reminiscent of a vignette highlighting a nostalgic piece of history stemming from the bigger story that is World War II. The elements come together successfully to spin a tale that is more sweet than bitter.

Billie Breslin decides to leave college and move to New York City, where she has an interview for a job as an assistant to the editor of the prestigious food magazine Delicious. Billie's amazing ability to name all the ingredients in a dish by only tasting it, amazes the staff and secures her the position. It doesn't take long for Billie to realize that she not only loves her job, but is also beginning to love the large, eccentric magazine family. Sadly, not long after she is hired, the magazine is abruptly shut down by the current owner. Everyone is let go except for Billie, who is kept on as a hotline operator. It is during this time that she discovers a long ago abandoned library in one of the upstairs rooms. In it she finds old file cabinets filled with letters and note cards containing recipes dating back to WWII. By following clues and notations she finds on the cards, Billie is able to follow a correspondence between a 12 year old girl named Lulu and the famous Chef James Beard. These letters take Billie back into wartime America, where food was rationed and people had to get very creative when preparing meals. For example, did you know if you add milkweed to rice, it tastes as if you added cheese? The more letters Billie reads, the more intrigued she gets; so much so that she begins to wonder if perhaps Lulu is still alive and if so, could she find her? There are so many things Billie would love to ask her if she had the chance. Pick up this book and find out where Billie's search leads.
The Wooden Sea
Wednesday, June 25, 2014
There aren't that many authors that I love. Jonathan Carroll is one of them.
Carroll writes what inevitably ends up being labeled fantasy, but is really simply our lives and emotions expressed more clearly and intriguingly than our workaday world allows for. The mutable nature of reality and the down-to-earth approach to cosmic revelations recall the works of Philip K Dick.
The Wooden Sea is eminently readable and engaging, mainly because of the warmth and humor of the main character, a Vietnam veteran and former bad boy named Frannie McCabe. Frannie is clever, self aware and curious, which might lull one into thinking that this novel is no more than a pleasant diversion. But that would be a mistake; Carroll is not a frivolous writer.
As the novel proceeds, Frannie encounters a number of doubles, versions of himself at various ages, and meets up with an otherworldly figure, a black gentleman named Astopel, who sends Frannie hurtling into the future. He also travels back in time to his favorite Crane's View diner for a poignant and revelatory meeting with his long-dead father.
The book is wonderfully bizarre and contains tons of great quotes. Although as with most Carroll novels, those who prefer neat wrap-ups would do well to look elsewhere.
Nothing daunted
the unexpected education of two society girls in the West (2011)
Monday, June 23, 2014
An interesting story of two wealthy girls who, after doing their grand tour of Europe, were not ready to marry and settle down. Though they had no experience of "roughing it" or of teaching, they applied to become frontier school teachers in the Elkshead mountains in Colorado.
After a crash course in teaching and review in a few subjects they headed out west. They boarded with a family and traveled every day by horseback to the schoolhouse--in pouring rain, blinding blizzards and sunny spring days where the slippery mud was almost knee-deep. The book tells of the difficulties the subsistence-level farmers faced in the arid, cold climate; students who came in rags and bare feet because they wanted to learn; and history of the area, including the building of the Moffat Trail, a railroad through (literally) the mountains.
This snapshot of life in 1916 made me appreciate what we have now--labor saving devices like washing machines and nearby grocery stores, but also what our society often is missing: friends who would go to great lengths to lend a hand, farmers and ranchers who would welcome strangers with a meal and a bed.
John Adams
Sunday, June 15, 2014
He was honest, witty, loyal, brilliant, and indefatigable. He was also pompous, arrogant, insecure, petty, and cranky. He probably did more than anyone else to persuade Congress to declare American independence, but he did so at the cost of alienating almost every one of his colleagues. He was jealous of George Washington, distrusted Benjamin Franklin, despised Alexander Hamilton, and alternately loved and loathed Thomas Jefferson. He was a loving husband who spent years apart from his wife, and as a father left a great deal to be desired. He was a man of contradictions, but was always in the thick of the action during the first years of the American nation. This book almost singlehandedly revived John Adams's historical reputation, and is already considered a classic.
Pat and Dick: The Nixons, an Intimate Portrait of a Marriage.
Monday, June 9, 2014
Richard Nixon graduated number three from his Duke University Law School class. Thelma (Pat) Ryan was an orphan in Depression-era California yet she attained the equivalent of a master's degree in merchandising and she taught high school typing and shorthand classes. Swift tells the story of the Nixon courtship, political life and death after 53 years of marriage. Along the way we read about Nixon's involvement with the Communist scare, 1960 presidential election footing Nixon against John F. Kennedy which he lost by a mere 40,000 votes, his triumph in1968 when he beat Hubert Humphrey by ½ million votes which enabled him to reach his dream of becoming the President of the United States. Pat Nixon overcame the label "Plastic Pat." She was named the nation's ideal wife by the Homemaker' Forum in 1957 and Good Housekeeping's most admired woman in the country from 1974-75. Richard Nixon became embroiled in the Watergate scandal and he was forced to resign the presidency in August of 1974. He attempted to re-establish his reputation as an elder statesman while fighting severe bouts of phlebitis. He wrote eight best-selling books from 1983-1994. Pat suffered a stroke which left her speech slightly slurred. She died at the age of 80 and Dick followed her 10 months later. Swift brings out the human side of the Nixon marriage, including their daughters, Julie and Tricia while presenting a well-rounded story of a turbulent time in U.S. history.

Gay marriage could appear on Arkansas ballot
Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel has approved the wording of a ballot measure that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state.
McDaniel's office on Thursday certified the proposal by the Arkansas Initiative for Marriage Equality, clearing the way for the group to begin gathering signatures to place the measure on the ballot. The group wants to put the proposal before voters in 2016.
The measure is the second gay marriage related measure certified by McDaniel's office, which approved the wording of a proposal in September that would repeal the state Constitution's ban on same-sex marriage. That proposal, however, stops short of specifically legalizing gay marriage.
The proposal approved Thursday also repeals the ban and would prohibit clerks from refusing to issue marriage licenses based on the couple's sex.

Rope Recycling Initiative
Retired Climbing Ropes Wanted!
Sterling Rope is as dedicated to protecting natural resources and wilderness areas as we are to manufacturing the best quality life-safety rope in the world. In 2005 we started our Rope Recycling Initiative and the program has continued to grow and evolve. For years Sterling Rope recycled the nylon waste fiber left over from our efficient manufacturing processes, now we can take used dynamic climbing ropes and recycle those as well!
We invite you to take part in our Rope Recycling Program. Rather than having an old, retired rope sit in the back of your closet or worse, sit in a landfill, you can now send it to Sterling Rope and we will have it recycled it for you! Simply send us your retired dynamic climbing ropes from any manufacturer and we will take it from there! We will first try to work with partners to up-cycle the rope into dog leashes, rope rugs, or hammocks. However, countless miles of rope are produced every year between all of the various brands so simply reusing it may not be enough to reduce its impact on our environment. The ropes that can't be reused will be sent to an efficient recycling expert that grinds up, melts down, then re-pelletizes the nylon so it can be re-made into a variety of items like carpet fiber, telephones, coat hangers, and even children's toys!
Why should you recycle your rope?
There are lots of reasons, but we feel the top three are:
1) Keep the rope out of the landfill.
2) Keep climbers safe by retiring old possibly dangerous rope once and for all.
3) Reuse the petroleum-based nylon resource for something else.
Where do I send my rope?
Simply send your retired rope to the address below (the U.S. Postal Service is very affordable):
Sterling Rope Company, Inc.
C/O: Rope Recycling Program
26 Morin Street
Biddeford, ME 04005-4413
Where else can I recycle my rope?
Whenever possible, Sterling Rope will make our rope recycling service available at major climbing events and festivals. In an effort to minimize the amount of transportation that the retired ropes go through to get back to us, we feel these events are the perfect place to consolidate ropes as the climbers will already be traveling to the venue. So, keep your eyes peeled at the next comp or festival!
Can Sterling Rope recycle static ropes and other climbing gear?
Unfortunately, we are only able to recycle dynamic rope at this time. All dynamic rope is made of a specific type of recyclable Nylon and by only accepting dynamic ropes we can ensure that the whole batch we send to be recycled is made up of this one type of nylon. If the batch is mixed with other materials such as polyester often found in static ropes or polypropylene common in waterline the entire shipment is rejected and landfilled, negating all of our efforts. Harnesses, webbing slings, and other climbing gear often have pads, buckles and stitching that is made using a verity of materials (including metal and plastic) we recommend contacting the original manufacturer for recycling options on those products.
What else can I do with my rope?
We encourage reusing rope on your own to make dog leashes, rugs, and tie-downs; however, please be sure that a retired rope is never used as a life-safety line. If you wish to send your old ropes directly to someplace closer to you that can up-cycle and re-use them, please refer to this list of recommend regional resources.

Don't let the toothy grin and lean frame fool you - Kei Nishikori's run-and-gun style can bring down the giants of tennis and catapult the Japanese 'superstar' into the top 10.A quarter-finalist at Melbourne Park last year, the 23-year-old has mapped out a three-year plan to win a grand slam and his jaw-dropping success at last October's Japan Open underlined the threat he poses."Kei is a superstar," said Milos Raonic after the Canadian had suffered the dreaded 'bagel' in the third set of their final in Tokyo.
"Kei is a superstar... He has the potential to do great things"
Canadian Milos Raonic
"He has the potential to do great things."Nishikori said that overcoming suffocating pressure to win the Japan Open had given him the belief he can break into the top 10 and walk with the game's giants. "I think winning a grand slam is possible," the swashbuckling Nishikori said after beating Raonic 7-6 3-6 6-0 in the ATP 500 event to win his second career title."I probably played the best tennis of my life. Breaking into the top 10 is the goal now."Winning this year's Australian Open would be one of the biggest shocks in tennis - and with Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray among the heavy hitters blocking his way the odds are stacked against him.
'A little closer'
The world number 18 will be seeded 17th in Melbourne because of Rafa Nadal's absence and he believes he is getting closer after topping a quality field in Tokyo headed by U.S. Open and Olympic champion Murray.He showed flashes of genius to win the title, demonstrating the potential to become a serious contender at future grand slam tournaments, often leaving opponents gaping in dismay. "I feel I've got a little closer to them," Nishikori said of the Big Four - Federer, Djokovic, Murray and Nadal.Nishikori burst onto the scene as an 18-year-old by winning in Delray Beach as a 244th-ranked qualifier in 2008 and is already a major celebrity in Japan.His maiden title was the first by a Japanese man since Shuzo Matsuoka beat Todd Woodbridge in Seoul in April 1992.However, he will need to bulk up, his career already blighted by various injuries, most notably in 2009 when he needed elbow surgery and feared he might not play again.Ankle and knee issues have also plagued Nishikori, who retired from his semi-final against Murray in the Australian warm-up event in Brisbane with a left knee injury.Nishikori, who had jumped out to a 4-1 lead over the Briton before losing the first set, was then forced to pull out of the Kooyong Classic but was still confident he would be fit to play at Melbourne Park. "It's not bad - let's cross the fingers and hopefully it will be okay," he told reporters on Tuesday. The Australian Open markets itself as the grand slam of the Asia Pacific and in Nishikori, who lost to Murray in the last eight last year, they finally have a male contender for the world's most populous continent to cheer on. Asked after his Tokyo triumph if he was seen as a threat to the world's elite, Nishikori blushed and said: "The other players will look at me differently now."

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on June 7, 2013
With the racetrack dust having barely settled after this year's Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, and with the final leg of the Triple Crown--the Belmont Stakes--scheduled for this weekend, we can't help but marvel at the incredible ability of a horse, with 120 pounds on its back, to sustain better than a 35 mph pace over up to 1½ miles, often topping 40 mph in the home stretch. But no matter how big an appetite the world's fastest three-year-old Thoroughbreds work up during "the most exciting two minutes in sports," they haven't got a thing on gun control supporters in the public health field, when it comes to jockeying for position at the feeding trough. That's because the feeding trough the gun control supporters are galloping toward isn't one that's filled with oats; it's one that President Obama wants filled with your tax dollars. In January, Obama issued a memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop a new "gun violence" research agenda "to improve knowledge of the causes of gun violence, the interventions that prevent gun violence, and strategies to minimize the public health burden of gun violence," and asked Congress to fund the research to the tune of $10 million. In April, anti-gun public health researchers who spent millions conducting junk science gun control advocacy research in the 1990s, until Congress prohibited the use of federal funds for that purpose, assembled in Washington, D.C. The forum was a panel convened by the Institute of Medicine, on behalf of the CDC, to develop an agenda for gun-related issues the CDC would like to "study" on the taxpayers' dime. This week, the researchers--including many of the same people who performed the research in the 1990s--made the resulting agenda public. And what an agenda it is, consisting of a whopping 14 "priorities" and more than 50 subordinate topics, including collecting data about gun ownership, acquisition, and use; issues related to prohibiting private firearm sales; issues related to mandatory storage requirements; and the potential for mandating that guns possess "smart gun" technology--though, to its credit, the agenda recognizes that many gun owners would disable "smart" technology in the interest of improving their firearms' reliability. (Also to the panel's credit, the report recognizes that defensive gun uses are common and worthy of further study, as urged by an NRA representative at the meeting.) How $10 million would cover the vast amount of research proposed remains to be seen. Daniel Webster of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, one of the most prolific anti-gun researchers in the public health field over the last decade, lamented to the New York Times, "given that we are in very lean budget times, the CDC will be faced with difficult decisions about setting priorities."

Phase 1
The first classroom jam was called "The Ballad Of Jane And Pablo". It's a song about Jane Lopez, a lonely teenage girl who moves from Mexico to Chicago, speaks no English, and gets swept off her feet by a slightly older Pablo Cantino, who then abandons her directly after getting her pregnant. The verses conclude with Jane facing very difficult life-or-death decisions. Meanwhile, the chorus about Pablo gives listeners the crucial pieces to construct critical interpretations:
All the girls said, "!Que sueno!"
All the girls said, "He so fine!"
All the girls said
All the girls said
All the girls said
Classroom Jams founder Marc Furigay performed "The Ballad Of Jane And Pablo" one day in 1998 to four 9th grade English classes at Roberto Clemente High School in Chicago, IL. The goal was to help students understand a difficult concept. With "The Ballad Of Jane And Pablo", Marc hoped his students would understand irony better than they had the previous day with a more difficult text.
The song was an instant hit: students were focused and having fun; many started to drum or dance; even the shy and withdrawn responded to the music. Kids clapped and declared – "Play it again!" But the best performance came after the song – that's when students engaged in uncommonly frank, insightful and provocative discussions about some really meaningful things, e.g., teenage sex and pregnancy, foreign languages and loneliness, poetry and irony, romance and high-school dances. The debut jam – and the discussions that followed – also yielded the best writing from the most students Marc had seen to that date. The song had struck a chord. Marc has been writing and performing classroom jams ever since.
Phase 2
Phase 2 started in 2005 when Marc assembled a home recording studio and began composing material for an educational concept album called The Shakespeare Sessions. While working at the music, Marc also wrote material for The Shakespeare Sessions Teacher's Guide and outlined a vision for a scalable educational entertainment business.
Phase 3
In 2007 Marc collaborated with professional recording studios to produce The Shakespeare Sessions CD. Key players in the musical production include Steve Ursino (Chicago, IL), Jack Campitelli at Fishtank Audio (Baltimore, OH), Jeff Lane at Chicago Recording Studios (Chicago, IL), and Trevor Sadler at Mastermind Productions (Milwaukee, WI). Finally, Marc recruited graphic designer Ryan Moeck (Castle Rock, CO) to do the album artwork. At the end of 2007 Marc launched the Classroom Jams company website with the help of Christopher Merrill Web Design (Chicago, IL).
Phase 4
Stay tuned…
