Stay Away and Be Ok
Here is a question you should ask yourself, your family and friends: Is okay to walk across your neighbor's front yard without their permission? Most responsible adults are going to answer, "Of course not." As a follow-up question, ask if it's okay, or if it's "a problem" for uninvited guests to walk on or across railroad property without permission. Unfortunately, most members of our society don't see railroad trespassing as a problem even though railroad rights-of-way constitute … Read entire article »

Longoria Needs Attitude Adjustment
So Evan Longoria, big-shot third baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays, blows off the media on Monday night at Frontier Field. An hour later, he re-injures his poor little left hamstring.
Karma is a . . . well, you know.
I didn't get a chance to meet Mr. Longoria. I was told to report to the visitors' dugout at Frontier at 6 p.m.
"He'll talk when batting practice is over," Wings PR man Mark Rogoff told me.
Little did any of us know, that meant when LONGORIA was done with BP – not his team. Because when he was done, he marched into the clubhouse and began a very important game of cards while the Durham Bulls toiled under the hot sun.
Nice teammate.
We were told that Evan did not wish to speak to us. "Maybe tomorrow," was the word.
Enterprising journalist that he is, Mike Catalana of WHAM-13 marched over to the clubhouse and asked the three-time All-Star – who at 26 is two decades younger than Mike – if he had a minute.
"Can't you see I'm busy?" Longoria said.
He was playing that crucial game of cards at the time.
This is what you call "big-leaguing" someone. If he didn't want to do the interview, just politely say "Can we do it after the game?" or "Can we do it tomorrow?"
You can imagine how much sorrow was felt for the $4.5 million man when, an hour later, he pulled himself from just his second rehab game because his hammy tightened up after he jogged (and I mean jogged) to first following a grounder to third.
So I lost a lot of respect for Evan Longoria. I'll probably never meet him, and every time I see him I'll think of him in a negative light. It reminds me of an older lady I know who once asked Reggie Jackson for an autograph.
"No time. Busy," he said, as he lounged in a chair at the Rochester airport.
In the time it took to say that, he could have signed her autograph. Minutes later, she saw him signing for a man on the plane.
"I'll never forget that," she said. "What a jerk he is."
In five seconds, he could have gone from jerk to hero. Don't they get this? Don't they care at all?
Catalana tweeted that Rochester measures its athletes against the great and gracious Cal Ripken Jr., and in this regard Longoria didn't even measure up to Billy Ripken.
I've always said, it takes just as long to be nice as naughty.
Brian Roberts talked to me at 6:20 before a 7:05 game last week. Granted, I have a relationship with him, having covered the Wings while he was here a decade ago. But still. He did it. And he was leading off the game just 45 minutes later – and rehabbing from a concussion, not a little boo-boo on his hammy.
Andy Pettitte, a bigger name than Longoria, was ultra-gracious with the media after his appearance here in early May. And this came the same week he testified (and backtracked his testimony) in the Roger Clemens trial. And then, Pettitte voluntarily signed autographs for 45 minutes.
Cal Ripken Jr. once signed autographs for more than an hour before a Red Wings-Orioles exhibition. He finally had to stop, and as he walked away, one fan bellowed "What an (expletive)." And I said to the fan: "Are you serious?? He just signed about 1,000 autographs."
The fan countered with: "He didn't sign mine."
The fan was an idiot. Cal is one of the greatest things to happen in baseball, and not just because he once played in 2,632 games. He got it: The fans count. The media counts.
Fans count, too. Jeff Manto, my favorite Red Wing in 22 years on the beat, once talked to a blind fan for 30 minutes after a game at Silver Stadium. Heck, he once talked to me and former colleague Scott Pitoniak for 45 minutes before a World Series game in Cleveland, only stopping when teammate Jim Thome came out of the clubhouse looking for him.
What a class act.
Last week, I did a story on how our local pro players are doing. I received a call back from Andy Parrino, of the MAJOR LEAGUE San Diego Padres. I received a call from Brian Dupra, a tweet from Chris Bostick, a text from Jon Schwind (actually, the text went to colleague Kevin Oklobzija). I TWICE texted Cito Culver, the Yankees' No. 1 draft pick two years ago. A colleague reached out to him on Twitter, and Cito replied "Yea, when I get a chance I will."
He never did.
I hope Cito will become more like Andy Pettitte and Jeff Manto and less like Evan Longoria in time. The media is the messenger to the fans. And the fans count. Especially the ones back home, rooting you on.
Evan Longoria is a millionaire and a very good player. But it's not like he's Derek Jeter. He could walk down Main Street in Rochester and half the people wouldn't know him. He acts like he's too big. But he's not. If Andy Pettitte can voluntarily sign autographs for fans in a Triple-A town, Evan Longoria can certainly give the media five minutes of his time.
He needs to get over himself.

Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
Wikipedia content is not yet automatically copied to this page.
For now, you can directly visit this topic on Wikipedia.
Philip Herbert, 5th Earl of Pembroke & 2nd Earl of Montgomery (1620/21-) inherited two earldoms from his father the 4th Earl of Pembroke & 1st Earl of Montgomery. The older earldom of Pembroke was created 1551 for the son of an illegitimate son of an earlier Herbert earl of Pembroke; the later earldom was created 1605. Pembroke's mother was the 4th Earl's first wife Lady Susan de Vere (d 1628/29) a daughter and coheiress of the 17th Earl of Oxford (of the ancient de Vere and a granddaughter maternally of the Elizabethan statesman William Cecil, Lord Burghley. Pembroke's second wife was a Villiers, related to Barbara Villiers, Lady Castlemaine and later Duchess of Cleveland (most prominent mistress of King Charles II). By her he had issue, including the 7th and 8th Earls.
Pembroke succeeded his father 1649/50, and died 11 December 1669. His elder son the 6th Earl (d 1674) was succeeded by a son of his second marriage the 7th Earl (dspm 1683) whose wife was a sister of Charles II's French-born mistress Louise de Keroualle, created Duchess of Portsmouth. [The present earls are descended from this earl's younger brother who became 8th Earl in 1683]. Pepys thus knew of at least five earls of Pembroke & Montgomery.
not a bad looking laddy
Tree Philip Herbert 5th Earl Of Pembroke
"not a bad looking laddy"
Well, he must have looked somewhat worse for wear and tear by the time he's mentioned in Sam's diary. After all, the original picture of the 5th Pembroke by Van Dyck was made some time before 1641 - at least 20 yrs in the past by 1661. Nevertheless Van Dyck was known for his accuracy in portraits, so a handsome young aristo indeed...
An even better version of the portrait of the laddy, methinks.

While driving through the Village of Oriskany, it is not uncommon to see political signs this time of year; but not often are they in support of a 20-year-old candidate.
Shaun J. Kaleta, a junior government and politics major at Utica College, is running for village trustee in Oriskany. The election is Tuesday, March 16.
Kaleta credits his family and the community for his early love of politics and desire to serve. "After growing up in the Village of Oriskany, being mentored by my family and so many wonderful village friends, it is my time to give back," Kaleta said. "I believe it is never too early to serve and help others, and I am absolutely privileged to have the opportunity to do so. Running for village trustee in Oriskany, I believe I can have a positive impact on this community, a place I have always called my home."
After graduating as salutatorian in 2007 from Oriskany Jr. /Sr. High School, Kaleta has been an active member of the Utica College community. There, the former Utica Observer-Dispatch Teen All-Star studies government and politics while acting as assistant sports director for the college radio station, WPNR 90.7 FM, and also playing a big role on the Utica College men's tennis team. Kaleta also works as a substitute teacher in the Oriskany school system where he has established a strong rapport with both the faculty and student body.
"Over the years, Shaun Kaleta has instilled trust among many of the residents here in Oriskany," said local supporter Debra Buckingham. "His youth, energy and enthusiasm are vital as a village trustee. We are fortunate to have a young man of his caliber so interested in bettering our community."
Voting for village trustee in Oriskany takes place on Tuesday, March 16 from 12 noon to 9 p.m. at the Oriskany Public Library.

This small DIY quilt project yields a Cute Cardio Quilt with a super easy design by Samelia's Mum. The applique pattern is provided, so all you really have to do is hang it up when you are done. The red and white fabrics make for a fresh wall hanging, but you can also use this homemade quilt as a tablemat in your living room or dining room. The round shape represents the endless love you have for the people who spend time with you in your home.

- Double-sided fusible paper
- Iron
- Sewing Machine
- White background fabric
- Heart fabric

I printed it up as large as I could, on A4 sized paper. I then turned the page over and traced around the edge of the word in preparation for applique. *Note: Always reverse letters when you intend to applique them. If you can see through the paper, that's great, otherwise a light-box or window work well too. When I started out, I would forget to use the mirror image of the letters I wanted and wasted a lot of time and effort redrawing.Trace the applique word onto the paper side of the vliesofix (double sided fusible paper).
Cut out the shapes roughly around the lines. Fuse the shapes to the back of the chosen fabric and cut them out on the lines.
Peel the backing paper off and lay them onto the white (background) fabric.
When the word "Love" is centered and spaced out to form the heart shape, fuse it in place with a hot dry iron.
Attach your applique foot to your sewing machine and applique the tree with coordinating thread. Charcoal or black thread would work well also. I used a small straight stitch. Blanket stitching by hand would work too.
I made a quilt sandwich with the "Love" top, a layer of batting and backing and then stipple (quilted) around the word.
Cut edges of quilt to desired shape.
- Cut the fabric on the diagonal to make the binding. It needs the 'stretch' factor to be able to manipulate it around the circle.

WAC 182-513-1363 Evaluating the transfer of an asset for clients found eligible for long-term care (LTC) services on or after 5/1/2006
Emergency WAC effective 1-1-2014
This section describes how the department evaluates asset transfers made on or after May 1, 2006 and their effect on LTC services. This applies to transfers by the client, spouse, a guardian or through an attorney in fact. Clients subject to asset transfer penalty periods are not eligible for LTC services. LTC services for the purpose of this rule include nursing facility services, services offered in any medical institution equivalent to nursing facility services, and home and community-based services furnished under a waiver program. Program of all-inclusive care of the elderly (PACE) and hospice services are not subject to transfer of asset rules. The department must consider whether a transfer made within a specified time before the month of application, or while the client is receiving LTC services, requires a penalty period.
This is a reprint of the official rule as published by the Office of the Code Reviser. If there are previous versions of this rule, they can be found using the Legislative Search page.

Book-Beer Pairings (Part II)--T.C. Boyle, Chip Kidd, Margo Lanagan, James Morrow, and More
(Large beer Drayman's Porter with Small Beer's Ant King; Dudman's novel and Old Speckled Hen.)
Much has happened since posting Part I of the book-beer pairings feature. First, I tested out Three Philosophers with Lauren Groff's The Monsters of Templeton and found that (1) it is indeed a great Belgian-style beer, with some very subtle yet strong flavors, and (2) it goes very well with Groff's book.
Then, I decided to check in with Gavin Grant of Small Beer Press because...well, how can you do this kind of feature and not talk to a publisher called Small Beer Press? Gavin has a lot of respect for both books and beer--and access to both locally. "We have a fantastic brewery (ok, we have a few) in the Happy Valley in Massachusetts: the Berkshire Brewing Company. Their Traditional Pale Ale is a summer time treat and all winter we survive on their Drayman's Porter. Which is what we were drinking when the UPS guy delivered galleys of our next collection, Ben Rosenbaum's The Ant King." (You can now download John Kessel's excellent new collection The Baum Plan for Financial Independence and Maureen F. McHugh's powerful Mothers & Other Monsters from the Small Beer website.)
So, without further rabbiting, the continuation of this landmark feature...
Guinness Versus Everything Else?!
Although most participants in the second half of this feature preferred matching a dark beer with their books, a few hold-outs for lighter imbibification include Thomas Disch, Nick Mamatas, and Chip Kidd—Kidd mostly because, as a purist, he deferred to his novel: "In The Learners, Happy and Himillsy down Rolling Rocks at Modern Apizz in New Haven, so that would appropriate. Otherwise, everyone drinks martinis."
Mamatas probably wouldn't typify his pick as a light beer, although it is: "The official beer of Weinbergia, the country in Under My Roof, is Red Stripe. Short and hip, sweet and a bit more dangerous than you might at first suspect. Plus, hipsters dig it like they dig uncombed hair and T-shirts from 1985."
Similarly, Disch, author of the forthcoming The Word of God: Or, Holy Writ Rewritten (coming July 1 from Tachyon Publications), selected either Rhinegold or Lowenbrau for his forthcoming farcical "memoir": "In the New York of my youth (I was 17 when I got here in '57, and Miss Rhinegold was then an annual tradition. The contestants had their pictures posted in the subways. There was also a Miss Subways. They have both disappeared in our new, unsexed era, but there is another good reason to serve Rhinegold at the book party. It is the beer Wagner made famous. Not much of a beer in itself, as I recall, which is why it may have become extinct, and not the best opera in the Ring either, but no one has ever dared to bring out a beer called Gotterdammerung....I was actually in Lowenbrau Hofbrauhaus in Munich (in 1966). There were tiers of drinking halls where roisterers bellowed out drinking songs. A kind of Valhalla."
T.C. Boyle suggested a great American beer I can personally recommend, to go with his forthcoming novel The Women (Viking, February 2009): "[The novel] deals with Frank Lloyd Wright and the women in his life. It is set in rural Wisconsin, at Taliesin, just outside Spring Green. That is, in beer central. So my pick for sipping--or guzzling or even gargling--while reading this scintillating, tragic and very funny book, is Spotted Cow." A worthy brew, indeed, as I recall from a wonderful night in Madison, Wisconsin, a few years back.
Graham Joyce's choice involved his time living in Derby "in the dark heart of England," where "there was this shadowy street in an interstitial zone of the city. At the road junction there were three pubs, one on each corner and one across the road. It was called the Derby Triangle because people seen going into these pubs would often disappear for days or sometimes months. One sold draught Guinness, one dispensed Pedigree Ales and the third and most cobwebby of the three pushed something called Theakston's Old Peculiar--usually a bottled beer, but here they had it on tap. Black as night, with a mushroom and nut savour to it, it had an alarming, syrupy body. But it slipped down well. This beer is most like my book The Limits Of Enchantment. Theakston's Old Peculier. I don't know where but it took me there." (Old Peculier, Americanized sometimes to Old Peculiar, even has a crime writing contest.)
Clare Dudman also had memories of peculiar brews: "There is only one beer that I can associate with One Day the Ice Will Reveal All Its Dead and that is the one that the grandson of Alfred Wegener (the real-life character who inspired my novel) gave me--the product of his own brewery in a grand old Schloss in Bavaria. Like his grandfather, he showed himself to be multi-talented; after treating me to a classical recital of a string quartet in the hall of his castle (he played the violin) we had a typical German meal with the beer as the essential accompaniment. His brewery produced three sorts, but the one I liked the best was uncharacteristically dark and strongly flavoured for a German ale. In fact it was very much like Old Speckled Hen--golden rather than brown, pleasantly sweet without tasting of treacle, and a bitterness that reminds you to drink long and slow...and relish each mouthful." She added, "I wish I hadn't written that--the memory is too good and there's only wine in the house."
(Original source)
Michael Swanwick (The Dragons of Babel) and Daniel Abraham (A Betrayal in Winter) both recommended Guinness, Wise Old Man of Beers, Swanwick "because it's the favored draught of storytellers" and Abraham as the perfect ending for the book, after "starting off with a dark ale." Swanwick's selection of Guinness, he said, must include the reader picturing "me standing with an elbow on the bar and the glass in my hand, saying, 'Listen. There once was a boy who loved dragons, and suffered because of it, but learned better...'" Abraham was also emphatic on beer purity: "nothing with funny flavors in it. No blackberries or raisins or any of that."
Hal Duncan, author of Ink, agreed: "It has to be Guinness--dark, black and rich. It's a scientifically proven fact, you know, that Guinness is forty-five percent fortitude."
Coming in with a variation on the Guinness theme, James Morrow wrote of the happy collegial bond between book and beer combination: "The Philosopher's Apprentice traces directly to an informal society, devoted to freewheeling philosophical discourse and studious beer consumption, that thrived for many years at a Penn State agora known as Café 210 West. The novel is best consumed in tandem with the libation that gave it birth: the Irish cooler, created by our Plato scholar, now an instructor at George Washington University. Fill a pitcher to the midpoint with a reliable lager. Top it off with Guinness stout. Add a flotilla of lime wedges. Stir. Pour yourself a glass. Read the first chapter of The Philosopher's Apprentice, sipping as you turn the pages...A novel is a long work of fiction that has something wrong with it. Pour and consume a second Irish cooler. Read chapter two. Repeat the process until the novel's flaws no longer matter."
Yet, truly, the award for Mother of All Beer Responses must go to Australian Margo Lanagan, who primes our hearts, heads, and palates for the release of her novel this fall with this Ode to beer, food, books, and everything luxurious to our senses (and which I cannot bear to truncate): "My upcoming novel Tender Morsels ( Knopf/Allen & Unwin/David Fickling, October 2008) goes perfectly with a schooner of Toohey's Old Black Ale, 'a great Australian dark ale' to go with a great Australian dark tale. Not knock-you-over in the alcohol stakes (4.4% alc/vol), this is probably a good thing, because there's a lot to keep track of in this book: bears, babes, treasure, dwarves, giant eagles and a spot of time slippage. The story is lightly hopped, giving the reader/drinker a few underhand laughs during the smooth transition from malty, dead-sexy beginning to bitter, none-too-clean finish. The black malt enhances the forested gloom of much of the book, as well as its nicknames, 'Black Juice revisited' and the Doylesque Tender Morsels Bwa-Ha-Ha. Many readers/drinkers are timid when it comes to dark (t)ales. If you are curious about the dark side of beer/bears, Toohey's Old/Tender Morsels is a great place to begin your exploration. Broad-hipped childbearing flavour gives way to the berry nice esters, which blend well with hoppiness and a hint of raw ptarmigan to finish with a bitter blend crescendo that will leave you wondering WTF? Why haven't you been a dark ale drinker all your life? Do you dare to turn off your bedside lamp tonight? Try Tender Morsels and Tooheys Old Black Ale with a juicy, still-slightly-bloody roast, with game pies and slow cooked meats. Old is also a great flavour to go with strong cheeses such as gorgonzola, blue vein and Wensleydale. But pretty much anything fart-producing will do. Just don't expect a comfy night's sleep after you've stomached this lot."
Still, not everyone advocates beer with their book, although ironically it's the mind-expanding, techno-surrealist Rudy Rucker (Postsingular) who urges a more commonsense approach: "I prefer to see my readers drinking a fragrant, stimulating oolong tea."
Lydia Millet, agrees with the no-beer idea, making an even more revolutionary proposition: "To be honest, How the Dead Dream is probably best read with water. Water or coffee. Or something fresh and sour like lemonade. But if you really wanted to be drunk while you read it, and you rejected hard liquor and wine, I'd say a light-tasting beer from Europe."
As for my own books, including City of Saints & Madmen and Shriek, I always recommend the marvelous Belgian dark beers Delirium Nocturnum and Leffe Brun, the Bavarian Aventinus (a wheat doppelbock), Arrogant Bastard, and several others. (For more beers-with-books, click here.)
The next step in this literary experiment, of course, is to acquire all of the aforementioned beers and books, and report back on just how appropriate these pairings are. Whether this will result in another Amazon blog entry or a rather ridiculously befuddled weekend remains to be seen...

Jack Edwards spoke with Damon Amendolara about the NHL's ruling on Matt Cooke and the recent performances by the Boston Bruins.
The NHL handed Matt Cooke of the Pittsburgh Penguins a suspension that would keep him out until after the first round of the playoffs. What does Edwards think about the NHL's ruling? What does he think the NHL should do to teams with repeat offenders? Has the NHL done enough to stop these kinds of hits?
The guys also discussed the Bruins goalie situation, how much can they go with Tuukka Rask down the stretch versus making sure Tim Thomas is not rusty before the playoffs?
The guys also took a look at the power play, how can this team turn things around? Will the addition of Tyler Seguin help or is Tomas Kaberle shooting more the answer?

FAQ for online learning
Do I need advanced technical knowledge to take an online course?
No. However, you should have a basic comfort level with computers.

Are there required days and times that I will need to log into my course?
No. We understand that one of the appeals of online learning is its flexibility. This means that you are free to manage your time as you see fit. You will, however, need to submit assignments and complete quizzes and tests in accordance with the instructor's due dates.
How do I obtain my Blackboard username and password?
After you are accepted to Concordia, you will receive a "10-code" in the mail (undergrads at Concordia may also hear this referred to as a "J" number).

"If it wasn't for PADS, I don't know where I'd be. They've helped me get all my medicine. They've gotten me to every appointment and provided transportation. The sheets are clean when I go to bed at night. I can laugh here and the people are nice."
- Rose Valle, Former PADS Client
"I have never seen a shelter like this, with security and comfort, and people breaking their backs to help us. The people at PADS care about us like we are family and they have become our family."
– Eugene Thomas, Former PADS Client
Volunteering at PADS is an excellent way to get involved in your community and make a positive impact in the lives of others. If you are interested in learning more about volunteering, please fill out the volunteer form on our home page. If you know exactly how you want to volunteer, please fill out the volunteer application. There are a number of ways you may give the gift of your time and compassion:
*Depending on the site policies, some of these tasks may only be performed by individuals 18+. Each site provides its own orientation and training.
PADS is always in need of volunteers to make, bring, or serve meals. Whether you are making bag lunches for our Daytime Resource Center or bringing and serving a hot meal to our Family Center families, your generosity is truly appreciated.
Click Here for details on our needs.
Another volunteer project is running an in-kind donation drive, which is a way to collect needed items for PADS' clients. As the organizer, you select the items you want to ask for from a list of things that we need.
You decide whom you want to approach – neighbors, house-of-worship members, your school, people in your community – and then provide collection bins. You would advertise the drive (flyers, newspaper coverage, posters, newsletters, etc.), set an end date, and see that all the collection bins are picked up. You might approach store owners or managers and ask them directly for a donation. In that case, when you know the donor personally, you would want to send a thank you note to the donor, and be sure to mention them by name in any publicity. PADS will send a tax letter to any donor, providing we have a complete address and description of the item. Finally - you would see that the items are then delivered to PADS. Be sure to email Stephen Love before you begin your drive to find out about our current urgent needs. We are unable to store canned goods or clothing (with the exception of new underwear), so please don't plan to collect either of those things.

|Well, I just got a plant that I was told was a fuschia (although to be honest after looking at the pics on this forum, I think I may have been told wrong. The colors are just as brilliant, but the flower isn't quite so...bulby...), and I know now, after reading posts from others, that I definitely over watered it. I've been letting it sit for a few days, but the soil is still really moist, and now it smells quite sour. Is there anything I can or should do about that? I love flowers, but I've never been good at keeping them. I've kept this one for about a month now and I'd like to keep it longer. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm naming it today, by the way ;-)

|Try slipping it out of the pot, are the roots white or brown, if they're all brown it might be to late to save it, if not try just misting the foliage until the soil dries slightly. If your plant makes it this far, repot in new potting mix suitable for Fuchsias, that is providing it is a Fuchsia. A photo would help with identification?

Rated 5 out of 5?by Mike74 Tremendous value for the money A fantastic value for the money. I have lived here for 6 months and I am extremely pleased with my decision to move here. I was looking for an inexpensive place to live to downsize and save some money for the future. Overall: Stratford Hills Bethany Springs is extremely clean, noise free, and the new management is making weekly improvements to the grounds. The exteriors are dated and so are the interiors, and there are no real amenities to speak of -- but if you are looking for a safe, reasonably nice, noise free place to live with excellent management, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I am very pleased with my decision to live here and I have found my neighbors to be pleasant and friendly. Pros: - Absolutely no noise issues which was one of my concerns. - The grounds are maintained immaculately cleaned, absolutely no trash is allowed outside. - The patio is spacious and a nice place for a grill. - They are pet friendly and as a dog owner I have found the neighbors to be very dog friendly, even those without a dog. - I do not have children, however It seems to be a safe location for children and families, and many of my neighbors have school age children. Cons: - The exteriors are dated, however in my 6 months here I see them making weekly upgrades. The new management is hard at work. - The interiors are dated however extremely livable for the price. I have had no mold or bug issues at all which was one of my concerns. Overall a great value for the low cost of rent. I am very happy here, and I highly recommend. June 19, 2014

Housing board selects architect
The Block Island Housing Board recently announced the selection of architect Frank Karpowicz for its affordable housing project on the Brown-Smith property on West-Side Road.
Of the selection, which was made in a closed session of the board on Oct. 10, Housing Board Chair Cindy Pappas said it had been "a very difficult decision because we had four very qualified candidates. All of them were committed to the island and the concept of developing affordable housing."
She added that the selection was "a unanimous decision [that] came down to finances. His [Karpowicz'] turned out to be the lowest bid, and we felt we had to be responsible because we were using taxpayer dollars. In the end, he was offering a full range of [options] at a great price."
When reached at his office in Wakefield, Karpowicz said, "I'm very excited about it and about getting started on the project. We're looking forward to helping the organization [the Block Island Housing Board] with their mission."
Having been the architect for the Jacke property project, which the Housing Board also managed, Karpowicz is not new to the island or to working on affordable housing projects. He has also worked with such developments in South Kingston and Narragansett, where he has "designed not only market-rate housing but affordable ones," as well.
State and island formulas
At the open portion of the Oct. 10 meeting, the board discussed the state formula for establishing affordable housing criteria on the mainland and the differences that occur when working on the island where costs are so much higher, as Pappas pointed out. The state regulations were more stringent than the formula generally used on the island, she said.
She explained that the Housing Board had used the same formula that Block Island Economic Development (BIED) used in developing many projects on the island. Because the Jacke property had recently been left off the state list of affordable developments, Pappas felt there had been a simple oversight that could be easily corrected.
On managing the Jacke property as affordable housing she said, "All state guidelines were met and conditions were approved by Washington Trust." She considered that a precedent on island for working within some latitude had "long been established."
The next Housing Board meeting is set for Nov. 13.

There's nothing quite like an expletive-laced Hollywood rant.
David Mamet—the man who brought "always be closing" into the lexicon, for better or worse—popped up on our radar again for a vintage memo sent to the writing staff of his show The Unit. In essence, it's a rundown of his entire theory of drama in a thousand words. We won't bother you with the whole thing here—it's quite long and not exactly gentlemanly—but we will say that it's all in caps, and halfway through he starts adding asterisks for extra emphasis.

The benefits of using waterbeds are manifold not only for your home décor but also for your health and overall well being. Since the inception of waterbeds early in 19th century, waterbeds have vastly gained explosive popularity among all types of homeowners, new and old. Not only this, they have now evolved as a trend and most of the homeowners have a great zeal for waterbeds. Built on water disembodiment technology, standard waterbeds ensure stellar support to offer restful sleep. With a wide array of waterbeds available on the market, it becomes intricate for homeowners to bring the best one for them. Moreover, one should never compromise with the price when it comes to bring a product that ensures great sleep at night.
What to consider?
Waterbeds can be distinguished into two categories including hard-side and soft-side beds. As far as comfort is concerned, assortment of the type of bed entirely depends upon the preference of the customer. Featuring a water-filled mattress and a wooden frame, hard-side waterbed mattress is comparatively larger than traditional mattresses. Such waterbed mattresses are generally fixed on plywood and hold by a platform. However, homeowners are required to purchase a sheet and bedding from a bedding supplier such as Precious Bedding in order to fix waterbeds perfectly. Components that come together with hard-side waterbeds include a safety liner, platform, heater, frame and vinyl mattress.
Soft-side waterbeds are really embellished with a study foam liner that completely covers the water mattress and can be zippered into the fabric casing to hold it all together. The mattress is fixed towards the top of the platform and rests on a metal frame that bears a resemblance to box spring on a regular/conventional bed. When it comes to the sizes, soft-side waterbed mattresses are extremely similar to conventional mattress sizes, so you can use the same size bedding as well as sheets. The good thing is that waterbeds come in different sizes and shapes from double to single and king sizes and even more! In addition, you can design them the way you want, like a box, rectangle or oval too! Although, when you have an oval or circle bed, you will need to find fitting oval or round bed sheets.
You also need to consider the size of your waterbeds. Waterbeds typically come in three sizes: king, queen and super single. The king sizes are actually not the same dimensions as a regular king bed. Regular king beds require sheet sets that are designed for beds 80 inches long and 76 inches wide. A king waterbed is made longer so that it is 84 inches long. They are also skinnier with a width of 72 inches. It is because of this that a regular sheet set isn't going to fit right. For king waterbeds, you should check out king waterbed sheets at preciousbedding.com. For everyone that has a queen size waterbed, it's pretty easy. The sizes do not change for twin. Super single sizes are actually very uncommon in conventional beds. This size is usually just reserved for waterbeds but conventional super single waterbeds to exist. They're just pretty rare. Typically, the biggest difference between the conventional sheet sets and water sets is that the conventional sets do not have an attached pocket at the corner of the bottom edge of the fitted sheet to guarantee that the corners of the fitted sheet do not ride up the side of the bed.
How waterbeds are good for health?
Waterbeds give you support through baffle that further holds back waves in mattress. Nowadays, most of the waterbeds make use of hydraulic cylinders, fibers and cells in order to reduce water movement, which probably means that water can give better support to your back, legs or neck. Maximum numbers do not acclimatize to the fact that resistance they get from water is not uncomfortable but semi-firm. Moreover, displacement of water moves with the movement of body in spite of pushing you against it.
Waterbeds also provide floatation support that relieves your bone or muscle pain, which increases with age. For those who have undergone orthopedic surgery or suffering from poor circulation, heated waterbeds have come up as a godsend. Hot water not only relaxes your muscles but also relives your arthritis pain and increases blood circulation. People who often feel pain or stiffness in morning must consider buying waterbeds to get rid of this dilemma. This is because, people who wake up fresh in the morning remain cheerful throughout the day.
A pregnant woman often faces difficulty in sleeping, as they cannot lie down on stomachs. But, experts have proved that waterbeds' therapeutic fix does not harms women when they lay down on stomachs while sleeping. With numbers of benefits, waterbed is a must buy for your dream home, as it ensures luxury and good health at the same time.
In conclusion, waterbeds can me a great bed for both comfort and relaxation. It's sort of like being on a gentle, rocking boat, all night long.

One-Off Recycling Programs Create Hassle
The recent spate of new recycling programs that target only certain items is beginning to seem a little silly.
Whole Foods (WFMI) has launched a pilot program that collects No. 5 plastic, containers marked with "5" inside the recycling symbol. Ikea and Home Depot (HD) now take customers' compact fluorescent bulbs for recycling.
These corporate green efforts seem helpful and nice in their own right, but taken as a whole they don't add up to an efficient way to recycle things we use in our everyday lives. The stack of theoretical recycling bins and bags I would have to have in my kitchen to take advantage of all of these programs would be absurd.
I already have two bins for New York City's curbside recycling, one for paper and cardboard and another for glass, plastic, aluminum and cardboard juice containers. When it comes to plastic and glass, the city only takes bottles and cans. Light bulbs and mirrors are off-limits, as are plastic caps and tubs, like yogurt cups and take-out containers.Whole Foods takes many of the caps and tubs the city rejects. The so-called Gimme 5 effort is a partnership with Organic Valley and Stonyfield Farm, which make products that use these types of containers. I could add a third bin for these containers -- it would fill up fast. While Ikea and Home Depot will recycle compact fluorescent light bulbs, I rarely pass them in my day-to-day travels. The last time I went to Ikea, I left my old lightbulbs on the kitchen counter, forgotten in the flurry of last-minute measurements and toddler chasing. They're still sitting there two weeks later.

DONATE for Drive Against Hunger
Hunger Van HOSTING Registration
Register to Volunteer for a Hunger Run
What did you have for dinner last night or lunch yesterday? Most of us probably don't remember. Why? Because we don't think about where our next meal is coming from or when. We're blessed to not think about it; for most of us our next meal is either scheduled or we'll pick something up when we're hungry, it's not a worry or the focus for our day.
Take a look at the picture above; if not for the caring volunteers that prepared and distributed his meal, this brother of ours wouldn't have an evening meal. For many more than we know or care to think about, a home or even shelter along with a meal is something they think about 24x7!
The Hungervan project's goal is to bring food to where the need is and not necessarily where the resource is. We have many feeding projects that use local volunteer facilities such as kitchens where volunteers meet, prepare and distribute the meals on premises.However many times the facility and or volunteers aren't where the real need is! Therefore, with the Hungervan project, we can utilize available resources, without worry about logistics and deliver meals directly where the need is. Utilize a kitchen in Morristown, NJ staffed with volunteers from a radius of surrounding communities to prepare and package the meals; load the Hungervan and deliver the meals to NYC, Newark, Trenton, Paterson, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago etc. Meals stay warm and fresh for up to 2hrs so with the Hungervan we can expand the feeding radius to upwards of 75 miles from resource location to feeding destination.
Our Plan is to expand the Hungervan project nationally based on where strong local volunteer groups are built. Based on funding and or donated vehicles, the Hungervan project can expand into the hungerbus project. Utilizing a larger vehicle such as a multi-seated Minivan or Minibus now means the volunteers can be moved to the meal preparation site and or to the distribution site as necessary, expanding the resource and distribution radius even further. And with added mobile resource and space, the opportunity to move donated clothing, toiletries, medical, dental and other services to where the real need is.
Statistics tell us that upwards of 10% of NJ's population is "hungry". Hungry is defined as not knowing where your next meal is coming from. And 50% of NJ's hungry are children! For many children, their only meal is the one they get when at school; so what about after school and when the school's are closed for holidays and over the summer? Hungervan plans to keep the vehicles moving and serving meals throughout week depending on local mobilized resources.
Your donation to the hungervan project means more people are fed and in more places. To help spread the word and increase both awareness of the need and donation opportunities, each hungervan will have signage for www.hungervan.org and or other branded social service programs. DONATE
Please help bring a nutritious meal to a hungry person. Sponsor a delivered healthy meal for $6.07, less than the cost of that Macdonalds value meal you had for lunch…..

Determined to solve the Middle East conflict, Barack Obama, the US president, says the next stop will be a global summit if latest proximity talks fail.
The Arab League, a 22-nation body, declared on Saturday that it backed one last round of US-brokered talks between Israelis and Palestinians within a four-month deadline.
Plans to launch the indirect negotiations failed last month over a row about Israeli plans to build 1,600 homes in occupied East Jerusalem.
With Arab countries backing the Palestinians' return to indirect negotiations with the Israelis under US mediation, what are the chances of success this time, and could there be a breakthrough?
Joining the programme are Ghassan Khatib, the director of the Palestinian Government Media Centre, Yossi Alpher, the former director of the Jaffee Centre for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University and co-editor of bitterlemons.org, and Hady Amr, the director of the Brookings Institution in Doha.

text: With the bulk of the Cardinals outdoor track & field squad competing in the Bulls Invitational hosted by the U. of South Florida Fri., March 21, several solid performances were turned in during the six-team meet. Leading the way for Wesleyan was Mike Moody '10 (photo) in the javelin as he eclipsed his own team mark of 187-11 set last year by placing second in the event at USF with a 188-2 throw. That effort qualifies him provisionally for the NCAA Division III Championships as the provisional range is from 188 to 205 feet. Wesleyan had another second-place finish, that coming from Tommie Lark '11 in the long jump as he came up with a 22-1 3/4 leap. On the track, the top showing by a Cardinals was the third-place effort of Brad Litchfield '09 in the 800m with a time of 1:59.83. Wesleyan competed a little closer to home in its next outing, that at Trinity College for its invitational Sat., March 29. There the top performance was the second-place finish of Sam Grover '08 in the high jump as he cleared 6-0. Wesleyan also had the second-place 4x400m relay squad. On Sat., April 5, the team heads to the Coast Guard Academy for its invitational.

Isaac Tells Jacob to Find a Wife
Genesis 28:1-5
So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him: "Do

Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the

put the stone back in its place over the mouth of the well.
23 But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought
her to Jacob, and he went in to her.
Jacob's Children
31 When
the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he
opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32 And
Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben, for
she said, "Because the Lord has looked
upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me."
Rachel Yearns for Children
Genesis 30:1-24
When Rachel saw that she was not bearing Jacob any children, she became
jealous of her sister. So she said to Jacob, "Give me children, or
I'll die!"
14 During wheat harvest, Reuben went out into the fields and found
some mandrake plants, which he brought to his mother Leah. Rachel said to
Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."
Jacob and Rachel Flee from Laban
Genesis 31:1-35
Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, "Jacob has taken everything

Laban Pursues Jacob, Rachel and Leah
On the third day Laban was told that Jacob had fled.
30 Now you have gone off because you longed to return to your

The Death of Rachel
Genesis 35:16-20
Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from
Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and had great difficulty.
