Playing outside until way past dark and you were safe!!! People cared about other peoples children.
I have searched for some people that attended Camp Springs Elem. Glassmanor and Forest Heights Elem. schools. My best friend was Cynthia Green. I graduated in 1974 but not from the area. I moved in 1968 while I was in Forest Heights Elem. I remember waiting at the crosswalks at Indian Head Highway and the guards would have to walk you accross the two highways. I remember the Drug Fair, Eastover shopping center. I grew up on Branch Ave.(Camp Springs) and Leverett street.(Oxon Hill). Those were the greatest times back then. Things sure have changed a lot since then.

I am from Anacostia but have many fond memories and friends from the Marlow Heights area. My wife Ginny Salm went to Lorraine and then graduated from Potomac in 1972. I am retired but am active in a 10-piece 60's-70's Blue Eyed Soul Band out of Bowie, Maryland called "The Nowheremen". It's a 10 piece band who reunited after 40 years that plays all of the old favorites Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Chicago, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Temptations and have been looking for a group like yours to see if maybe you'd like to have a band like this play at one of your annual events, or perhaps for a holiday party. I can provide as many references as you want as well as music samples, photos, website information etc. Let me know if this sounds like something you would be interested in talking about. The music is great, we just completed a joint concert with "The Fabulous Hubcaps" at the Greenbelt American Legion and we play all over P.G. county. I can be reached at (703) 791-2858 or (703) 915-7222 and my e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com..............thanks a lot....................Don

I have many happy childhhod memories living on Culver St. We would play outside all day, riding bikes, playing dodgeball in the street, shooting marbles, I remember a game we played called "hide and go seek tag", walking to school in the snow, the ice cream truck, walking to 7/11 picking up coke bottle so I could get some candy, duckpin bowling and, of course, my best friend Patti Acton. I also remember you Chuck, you were in my 6th grade class, Mr. Rich was the teacher. I found myself in one of the class pictures you posted under Sandymount.

riding bikes and walking all over, walking to the mall
I have seen a few familiar names in here and the memories are great. I remember walking to the mall by myself, no worries. I got my ears pierced there. My mom worked at the People's Drug store, I loved visiting there. I attended Sandymount Elem. for 4th 5th and 6th grade. Miss Krupa was one of my favorite teachers she was my 5th grade teacher. I remember some names like Becky Lee, Patty Turner, Gayle Winston, Linda Fortunato, Cecelia French? Shirley French and Steve French were older than me but my brother Mike Ling was friends with them. My brother went to the jr. high that was close to Sandymount, 7th, 8th and 9th grade. He also played sports Silver Hill Boys Club. I remember the winters me and my brother would go door to door with our shove shovels shoveling people's walks, making a little money and then going to the mall.
Dad got transferred to Ohio in 73 and this is where he retired from the Air Force and here is where I still am.

I moved to Ca right out of High School, and then most recently to the Pacific Northwest, which my husband,mu dog Ralph and I love. Oh, haven't found the recipe.

UPDATE ON HILLCREST HEIGHTS SAFEWAY CLOSING - I can confirm that the original Safeway in Hillcrest Heights at 2346 Iverson Street will close permanently for business on Saturday July 16, 2011 at 6pm. Unfortunately for the neighborhood there is no word on what, or if, a supermarket will replace its spot. It would be nice if someone could take photos for those of us who can't be there.

I lived in Marlow Heights in the mid-late '60's. I loved Steak in a Sack. Haven't seen one since. I was combing Google looking for copycat or original recipes to no avail and ran across your site that said "Make the original." Couldn't find it.
Any direction you can point me to would be appreciated.

Playing in the street
I remember so much from my childhood on 27th Avenue down the street from Benjamin Stoddert. I always watched clothing trends even from the time of being a young child. My brother and sisters would be at school and being the youngest I would watch everyone walking home from Stoddert. I remember the guys wearing Mac pants, banlons and high top chucks. The girls would tease their hair, wear long leather jackets, dangly earrings with a ball on the end , fishnet stockings and slingback shoes. My big sister wore that look with the frosty lipstick until my parents decided that fishnet stockings looked trashy and put her back in Catholic school.
People in the neighborhood probably remember my dad for two reasons: 1) The kids would fall into our hedges on their way home from school and my dad would chase them up the street screaming obscenities at them except my middle sister who was able to clear those hedges , easily jumping over them without ever touching them. (She was voted Most Athletic at Stoddert). And the number 2 reason ( a much more beautiful reason)you would remember my dad is he would practice clarinet with the window open in the summer and you could hear it all the way up the street. He played in the President's Band (Marine) and we are honored to have a pic of JFK with my dad sitting in behind him holding his claranet.
There is so much to say but I will leave it there for now.

Some sad news - in or around July the old Safeway at Hillcrest Heights Shopping Center (2346 Iverson Street) will be closing permanently. The number for the store is (301) 423-6464 if you have questions. I don't have any further information yet. Still have relatives in the old neighborhood and word is spreading. The pharmacy department within the store has already closed. Sad to see this remnant from the past leaving us. Many of us got our first jobs there. If anyone has time to take some photos, please share them with us.

We moved to Hillcrest heights around 1969-70. Moved around 1978. It was safe enough to walk the streets at night. Does anyone know what happened to Gary Wilson? or Tommy Wilson? They lived right next to the mall off of Iverson St. They worked for Roy Cummings Painting Co. next to the Mall. Gary Married Terry Ketchall. She had a sister named Pam.

Few years ago
My mom worked at the information booth at Iverson Mall. I would roam the mall unsupervised at age 9 & 10. I came in second place in a Hot Wheels Derby there in 1971. At the mall, there was always some little kid getting lost from his/her mom, and someone would bring the kid to the information booth. Moms would not be in a panic like they would today in losing thier kid. Sometimes they were downright mad at the kid, nevermind worried at all. There was a pet store there at the mall that sold mynah birds and monkeys, among other animals. This was my favorite hangout at the mall while I waited for my mom to get off of work. Temple Hills -- we would walk up Spring Terrace and down St. Barnabas Rd to High's. If you were lucky you'd find a bottle to return for an extra nickel. Twenty-five cents would get you a nice soda and snack, then you would walk home, over the Beltway overpass and back up Spring Terrace (or was it Spring Dr.?) There were kids all over the neighborhood, playing ball in the streets, playing in each other's yards, etc. I lived there until 1972 when I was in 5th grade, and my family moved to Florida.

Going to Red Barn, hanging out at Iverson Mall shopping with girlfriends
Those were the days..hanging out with our friends, having a good time, and just being kids. I remember working for the Star Newspaper, selling subscriptions over the phones, working three hours a night and three on Saturday morning, that was sweet. We worked over in a building in Fleshman's Village, do you all remember that place? Remember drinking in the parking lot sometimes, and smoking our cigarettes..HAAHAHA I drove a Gold Dart Swinger, my girlfriends and I would pile into the car, and drive around looking of course for the guys. We would ended up at Red Barn that was the hang out. You could go there and find out if there was a party happening in the area for Friday or Saturday night; it didn't matter if you knew the people, you just showed up. Life was different back then. A lot of things have changed, but I truly believe that the people who grew up there, are the same today as back then. At least I hope so.

To E.S. [Elizabeth Stewardson]
At break of day the lark ascends on light,
To carol his harmounious anthems there;
And as he wings along the azure sky,
drinks the refreshment of the dewy air.
But weary soon with wanderings thus alone,
He stays his flight and longs his wing to rest.
And swooping from the hieght where he had flown,
he seeks his tender mate and peaceful rest.
So, stretching forward on his errant way,
Man gives his wishes & his thoughts to roam,
But finds at last his warmest brightest ray
Beams from the smile of love that lights his home.
E'en like the mated lark, may'st thou he bless
To find thy dearest joys where love shall lead,
And in the quiet of the social nest,
Enjoy the boon to kindred hearts decreed.

from Nature News
Researchers working in the burgeoning field of cancer immunotherapy last week announced that a way of arming the body's natural defences to fight tumour cells has proved effective against three different types of cancer.
An antibody-based treatment developed by Suzanne Topalian, an oncologist at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, and her colleagues either eliminated or shrank tumours in 49 of 236 patients with certain types of advanced skin, kidney and lung cancer. Previous cancer immunotherapies have worked in smaller percentages of patients. The results of the phase I clinical trial were published on 2 June [in the New England Journal of Medicine].
"I think it really changes the field, because the response rates are much higher," says Antoni Ribas, a cancer researcher at the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center of the University of California, Los Angeles, who is testing a similar treatment in clinical trials.

Stephen James Merchant (born 24 November 1974) is an English writer, director, radio presenter, comedian, and actor. He is best known for his collaborations with Ricky Gervais, as the co-writer and co-director of the popular British sitcom The Office, as the co-writer, co-director and a co-star of Extras, and as the co-host of The Ricky Gervais Show in its radio, podcast, audiobook and television-show forms. The Ricky Gervais Show in radio form has won a bronze Sony Award.
Merchant appeared in the BBC TV series Life's Too Short in which he co-wrote and co-directs. He also voiced the character Wheatley in the popular 2011 video game Portal 2, co-developed the Sky1 travel series An Idiot Abroad, and performs as a stand-up comedian. He has won three BAFTA Awards, four British Comedy Awards, and an Emmy Award.
Merchant was born in Bristol, England, the son of Elaine (née Hibbs), a nursery nurse, and Ronald John Merchant, an insurance representative.[1] He attended Hanham High School. As he has described in Xfm London shows and podcasts, Merchant was a very shy child, tending to focus more on school work as opposed to sport. His school yearbook predicted that he would enjoy success.
Merchant is a graduate of the University of Warwick, and a former film reviewer on the student radio station, Radio Warwick, where he began his broadcasting career.[2] The station's 1995/96 yearbook tipped him for great things:
|Merchant, Steve: The man behind the funniest show on W963, the "Steve Show", highlights of which included an inspired take-off of the IRN news ('we spoke to Gerry Adams...'), an advert for Coventry Library ('Coventry Library makes no claims to be infinite'), attempting to give away an Aerosmith video to people on the toilet in Rootes [hall of residence], telephoning the library bridge security post to ask if they had seen a lost ball, as well as a series of snippets entitled At home with Rose and Fred West. He once suckled milk from a cows udder. This show stood out, as it was actually genuinely good. It's only a matter of time before Steve and his posse follow in the footsteps of Newman and Baddiel.
Members of Merchant's "posse" included film critic James King, Dan Warren, Neil the Maskell and Geraint the Welshman. Recently, a number of tapes of "The Steve Show", recorded at the time, have been rediscovered and are being distributed on various Merchant fansites.[3] He graduated with a 2:1 in Film and Literature in 1996.
Merchant began his career performing stand-up comedy at Bristol's Comedy Box, where, he recalls, "The first week I did really well ...The second week I died on my arse. I realised that stand-up was not that easy after all." He also appeared as a contestant on a 1997 episode of the TV game show Blockbusters and worked for a short time as a DJ for Radio Caroline.
Merchant met Ricky Gervais for the first time in 1997, when Gervais (then in the position of "Head of Speech" at the London radio station Xfm) hired Merchant as his assistant. (Gervais said later that he had called Merchant for an interview simply because it was the first CV handed to him.) Merchant and Gervais hosted a Saturday afternoon radio show together from January through to August 1998, when both of them left XFM as it was bought by the Capital Radio Group. In the same year, Merchant was a finalist at the Daily Telegraph Open Mic Awards.
Merchant did a total of 7 years on XFM 104.9. The Saturday show never had a large audience; Gervais says "It's a tin pot radio station... It's not even the biggest radio station in the building." Merchant created the features 'Hip Hop Hooray', 'Make Ricky Gervais laugh' and 'Song for the Ladies.'
After leaving XFM, Merchant began a production course at the BBC. As part of his coursework, he enlisted Gervais to perform in a 30-minute short film, "Seedy Boss," which became the earliest inspiration for their sitcom The Office. They collaborated on a sitcom pilot called Golden Years featuring a manager suffering a mid-life crisis; the pilot aired on Channel 4's Comedy Lab series in September 1998, but failed to find further success.
In mid-2001, BBC Two aired the first series of The Office, co-written and co-directed by Merchant and Gervais and starring the latter as paper sales office manager David Brent; the show initially received low ratings. Beginning in September, Merchant and Gervais returned to Xfm as co-hosts of The Ricky Gervais Show, another Saturday afternoon programme, which led to their fruitful relationship with producer Karl Pilkington.
They took a break from the radio show in mid-2002 in order to film the second series of The Office, which aired that year; in addition to writing and directing the show, Merchant made a cameo performance in the episode "Charity" as a friend of Gareth Keenan's character known by the name Oggy or Oggmonster. (Merchant's father also appears in multiple episodes as an office handyman named Gordon.) Merchant also directed a sitcom pilot called The Last Chancers, which aired on Comedy Lab in November 2002 and became a five-part series broadcast in December on E4.
Merchant and Gervais continued to host The Ricky Gervais Show through 2003, taking another break to film the Office Christmas special, which aired that December. The radio show went off the air indefinitely in January 2004. During 2004, Merchant appeared in a recurring role as a chef on Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and in a cameo on Green Wing, and served as a script associate on the Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker sitcom Nathan Barley. The same year, The Office aired in the U.S to critical acclaim. It went on to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy which both Merchant and Gervais accepted.
This was followed in 2005 by a 4th series of the radio show, consisting of six episodes.
In March 2005, the American version of The Office premiered, with Merchant and Gervais credited as executive producers. They would later co-write the third-season episode "The Convict", and Merchant would direct the fifth-season episode "Customer Survey".[4]
In December 2005, with sponsorship by The Guardian, Merchant, Gervais and Pilkington began recording a weekly podcast (also called The Ricky Gervais Show).[5] Throughout its first series (through 20 February 2006), the podcast was consistently ranked the most popular in the world, and was certified as the most-downloaded of all time by Guinness World Records. Two more series and three special instalments (the "Podfather Trilogy") were recorded in 2006, with the final episode released on Christmas Eve. In late 2008, they recorded four more podcasts and began a series of audiobooks examining Pilkington's perspective on various subjects.
In July 2005, following a brief return of the XFM radio show (filling in for Adam and Joe), Gervais and Merchant's new sitcom Extras premiered on BBC2. The series features Merchant in a supporting role as Darren Lamb, the incompetent agent to struggling actor Andy Millman, played by Gervais. Series 2 of Extras aired in late 2006, followed by a Christmas special in December 2007; all three installments aired on HBO in the United States. Merchant won a 2006 British Comedy Award for Best TV Actor for his performance as Lamb.[6]
In January 2007, Merchant began hosting his own radio show on BBC 6 Music, airing weekly on Sunday afternoons.[7] Instead of comedy, The Steve Show focused on music and particularly "new music," defined by Merchant as "music you've not heard before." Many of the songs on the show were suggested by listeners or co-presenters. In addition to Merchant, the show featured several of his friends, including his housemate Dan, his childhood friend Harry, and actor Rufus Gerrard-Wright (who also appeared in an episode of Extras). A spring search for a "she-J" resulted in the addition of former Byker Grove actor Sammy T. Dobson[8] joining the ensemble. "The Steve Show" aired for four seasons and concluded in May 2009.
Merchant began performing stand-up comedy in the late 1990s to critical success, though he decided to focus more on his work with writing partner Ricky Gervais after the success of The Office. Merchant returned to stand-up with a nationwide tour of the United Kingdom in September 2011, under the title Hello Ladies.[9] The tour was later released on DVD. In late 2012, the tour is set to continue with dates being announced for Australia and New Zealand.
Merchant has played small roles in the films Hot Fuzz (2007), Run Fatboy Run (2007), and The Invention of Lying (2009), the latter starring Ricky Gervais. He has a supporting role in the 2009 film Tooth Fairy. On television, Merchant made a cameo appearance in a non-speaking role on the sixth season premiere of 24; he also starred as a sports commentator in the unaired pilot No Skillz. In 2009, Merchant and Gervais collaborated on the film Cemetery Junction, set in working-class England in the 1970s, which received mixed to positive reviews on its release in 2010. Later in 2010, Gervais and Merchant wrote, and had cameo roles in, Life's Too Short, a television show starring Warwick Davis.[10] For television Merchant and Gervais also produced An Idiot Abroad, starring Karl Pilkington. In 2011, he lent his voice to the CGI film Gnomeo and Juliet, and had a role in the Farrelly brothers' comedy Hall Pass.
In January 2011, Merchant appeared alongside many other comedians at the 'Free Fringe Benefit' at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London, in a show of stand-up to benefit the Free Fringe at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival.
Merchant is the voice of Wheatley in Valve's 2011 video game Portal 2,[11] a role which earned him widespread acclaim among reviewers.[12] While he states his work on the project was "exhausting", Merchant is also "very pleased by the response people have had to it. What I was really pleased by how people seemed to respond to it in the way they do with a movie they've enjoyed, or a TV show they've enjoyed."[13]
Merchant has provided the voice-over since 2009 of advertisements for Barclays and Waterstones.

Merchant dated digital advertising producer Claire Jones for two years, although their relationship reportedly ended in 2009.[14] Merchant is an atheist.[15] He is the cousin of Sara Dallin of Bananarama.
Merchant's height (6 ft 7in; 2.01 m)[16] and his unusually large eyes meant that he has suffered teasing throughout his life. He made a cameo appearance in The Office, playing a character nicknamed the Ogg-Monster, whom David Brent called "a big lanky goggle-eyed freak".[17] His height, and also dance moves, have attracted comments from several sources. The Daily Mail newspaper described him as a "giant albatross hopping on stilts"[18] as he danced in a London pub (although Merchant denied this during an episode of the Ricky Gervais Show, stating that he did not take to the dance floor on that occasion).
While discussing what the Daily Mail had said on the show, friend and collaborator Ricky Gervais has likened him to an "upright lizard being given electro-shock treatment"[19] and a "stick insect with glasses"[19] or Beaker from The Muppet Show.[20] Radio producer and co-host of Merchant, Karl Pilkington, has described his moves as a "bit of weird art"[21] in the past, while British comic and broadcaster Russell Brand has likened him to a "graceful grasshopper".[22] Merchant has commented that he prefers to liken himself to fellow tall man and English football player, Peter Crouch[23] who is also six foot seven inches. Merchant impersonated Crouch in a BBC sketch broadcast as part of the pre-match build-up to England's opening game at the 2006 World Cup.

A flashback for that one is "For programmers by programmers" :)
People have been hearing about "Linux on desktop" since forever. This
is simply not interesting. The best OS is the one you don't notice.
Just don't mention Linux at all, give a little more accent on content
rather than tools and it might get you further than you expect.
Didn't you ever have this weird feeling of meeting a fellow musician
who's on Linux too, when you suddenly realize you talk about tools,
setups, bloody kernels and suchlike and somehow actual music is never
mentioned? It's a trap :)

Lending Club Picks Up IPO-Breed of Investors
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Peer-to-peer lender Lending Club said on Thursday it has picked up the type of investors it would want when the company is taken public, after raising $65 million from T. Rowe Price, Wellington Management, Blackrock and Sands Capital as part of its acquisition of Springstone Financial.
Peer Lending Lures Yield-Hungry Investors
Lending Club, however, continued to put off answers about the timing or size of its seemingly inevitable initial public offering.
On Thursday, Lending Club said it acquired Springstone Financial for $140 million in cash and stock, in the first-ever acquisition of a traditional financial services firm by a peer-to-peer lender. Founded in 2007, Springstone provides financing for K-12 private education, tutoring and medical services and facilitated over $340 million in loans in 2013.Lending Club made its first loan in 2007 and through steady growth, has originated over $4 billion in personal loans among 250,000 customers through its platform. To finance Thursday's acquisition, Lending Club raised $65 million in a new equity round among T. Rowe Price, Wellington Management, Blackrock and Sands Capital. The company also raised $50 million in debt financing for the cash portion of its Springstone transaction, and it paid the specialty lender a further $25 million in Lending Club stock. Regarding the company's newest funding round, CEO Renaud Laplanche said in a conference call that Lending Club has picked up a breed of investors it would hope to have when it becomes a public company. Laplanche called the fund managers "the type of reputable investors that we would want when we take the company public." Laplanche would not comment on any plans that Lending Club may have to go public. "We believe that Lending Club has an opportunity to transform an important part of the banking system into a transparent online marketplace," Henry Ellenbogen, a portfolio manager at T. Rowe Price said in a statement. "The Springstone acquisition is another step in that direction, and we are very excited at the prospect of being a long term equity partner of Lending Club," he added. Valuation Doubles Thursday's equity round values Lending Club at $3.76 billion, according to calculations by the Financial Times, a more than doubling of the company's valuation since the company raised money from Google (GOOG) a year ago. A disclosure on Thursday indicated that Lending Club continues to record strong growth and has tipped into profitability. Lending Club earned $98 million in net revenue in 2013, and a net profit of $7.3 million. Springstone, that filing shows, generated $17.3 million in net revenue and a profit of $8.6 million last year. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York. Follow @AntoineGara

By developing a calorie changing menu for you personally. That's correct: when you purchase Fat Loss 4 Idiots you not just get a 45-page Handbook including fundamental rules of calorie switching, the best way to see and eat foods that burn off more fat and the manner to eat out and still slim down. However you also get the Dietary Plan Menu Generator which creates for you a personalized calorie changing diet by deciding from a set of 50 foods. You get 11 days worth of menus that tell you exactly what to eat and when, subsequently for three days you'll be able to eat anything you need. Seriously!
Additionally, there are two bundles offered: the first includes the Diet Handbook along with Diet Generator, and the second adds a characteristic called "Beyond Calories Diet". BCD is an "gifted variant" of the normal calorie changing diet, but now there is a set of 80 H.S. foods which make you feel complete without really filling you up with squandered calories. Bundle #1, Diet Handbook and Diet Generator is $39. No monthly fees or membership costs. Bundle #2 includes both of those, moreover the "Beyond Calories" for an additional $16.95, to get a total of $55.95.
Is Fat Loss 4 Idiots a Scam? Like every diet, it will require persistence and willpower to follow, so that it probably will not work for everybody who can not stick to And a few folks have special medical or psychological states making it almost impossible to lose excess weight on even the most strict strategy. Yet it doesn't look like a scam and would likely function as the reply you've been seeking. What have you got to lose, but those extra few pounds?

How noble, the human species! Once a year we selflessly take a break from wrapping products in toxic plastics and burning piles of old tires to appease this stupid, stupid planet we live on. How dare it demand more trees, breathable air and animals that don't choke to death on our trash? Mother Nature, you'll get your Earth Day (April 22, this week y'know) but the next day we're riding a smoke-spewing rocket into the sky just so we can spray aerosol cans directly into the atmosphere.
And to celebrate Earth Day as good little gamers, we pledge to only play the eco-friendliest titles in history, games that said "Y'know what? What if there were a game that wasn't about pumping people full of bullets and drinking liquefied bones?"
They are the greenest games evar.
If gardening in real life were anywhere near as fun as tending a make-believe garden bustling with criminally cute pinatas, we'd be outside right now. What begins as a dusty, cracked, desolate environment with little to no wildlife slowly blossoms into a lively metropolis of pinata prettiness.
Above: In need of some serious care
Above: About to burst with snacky happiness
As you can guess, the entire purpose of the game is to renovate the surrounding area and make it appealing to the various pinata species, each with its own criteria for ultimate happiness. With so many pinatas to please, you're encouraged to cultivate as many gardens as possible, such as one built just for grazing animals and another for water-based Lickitoads, Cocoadiles and the elusive Swanana.
As a bonus, the graphics are so jarringly vibrant that the idea of managing multiple gardens immediately sounds exciting, which is hardly the case in the real world, where you actually have to learn about fertilizer and seasonal planting and plant diseases. Ick!
Above: Real gardening is hard
Environment saved: Smallish, localized gardens.
There's only one series that deserves a lifetime achievement award for eco-friendly vibes, and that's Harvest Moon. If you find the premise of paper animals too wild and "out there," you can always dig into Moon's relentlessly repetitive gameplay that, in direct contrast to Viva Pinata, is just as tiring as the real deal.

What are you doing?You with the motley heartof patched together prayers to other people's gods,of quilted love songs from lovers you never loved,what are you doingwith all that fleshthat bodyheld upby hunger in the morning, by hungerthe limbs liftedinto the posture of industryand all those words,whispers that wanderand give upin the air between usand the flushof ambition, of ambition swellingwith pleasurelike pusuntil the popwhat are you doingwith this poem.
CoverThe last time I said your name, it became the moon,slipped me into waking, fed me the ignorance I needto see the night.The last time I said your name, it left me in the forestto be seen by the animals, to peel the fruit,to feel the tree, to feel it moving.The last time I said your name, it hid me from the huntersthat stretched out my desires and laughed with stretchedfaces to feed on my not having.The last time I felt the cold, it burnt mybody with belief in yourbody. It held out our names above us both.
New FaithOf course it would be foolish to assume that the relationship between us is linear:I touch your skin.Memories re-alignto meet the meaning in your eyes.Of course it would be foolish to resume the old ways of believing:There is no painthat this momentcannot bend into beauty.
Body as Body and BodyA stint of color rakes the why,a pair of lungs bubblingdown from above the grey.Here is the genesis of sight,our dreams mounting the world'sdemands, our dreams joustingfor that accusation of meaning.This hint of color makes its cry,a word with rungs and we climb.
UglyI found my body out back in a dumpster,strange scrunch of screaming tissues.I tried to feel it. Frustrations flaked off,fled into a wisdom of shut eyes.I tried to whisper reason at it;it lunged with mirthless laughter.I groaned as it lashed me with its stringof grotesque demands. I managedto drown it in dreams, and atethe bloated remains, let my bodi-less mind, free of gravity, makeits way to the stars. But the starswere fat with smirking and Iwas plunging into a dumpster as Igrope toward knowing these stars are my body.
The Poet Is Sentenced to Death by ObscurityThe rhymes that have now made me fit to die,those crimes that lift me with prophetic error,have chiselled my mind into a stony why,and all the world sprawling, laughing - none the clearer.The dictators of definitions tenseas to the gallows they me quickly bringfor taking of languages accidentsto corrupt to madness our true, brave kings."To the whirring world our words must agree.The mechanics won't change at your behest.Doesn't reason deserve our loyalty?"So goes the fearful cry of all the rest.But when reason melts the verse will flowto wash away wisdom so new meaning can grow.
FireI liveas if the mountain speaks,as if you speak,as if I had spoken before.And I liveas if words fall from flesh like words,as if words fall from the word like fleshwet with impossibility and emptylike the spaces water runs through.
Why do we die?With morning, the sun is rising, pooling into life in the soil. I walk. The tree is growing, teaching me about ways of separating, ways of remaining the same.A leaf falls. I watch a man lift that leaf and carry it away in his hand. In my hand, one heartbeat is lifted, kept out of time.With evening, the moon is rising, pulling truth into the rhythms of the ocean. I walk to the shore and touch the water.The life that lives inside of death is moving like an ocean, is branching like a tree.
BoundedUnfold the face to find the crushedflower: The body lends the body, renders timeas timeto holdhis skin in place, the rindthat binds the nutrients. Unrolledacross the vacant why,the sky begins to droop and fade: The skin: His face,a circumstance of being near,performs the grind of not here.
SOMETHINGWhat smoky poltergeist has lit outacross the dusty plains of my mindand left no footprint?A contrarian alchemist turningmy gold into lead and taking with itall my illusions of clarityThose wizards and sorcerers hawkingtheir false incantations and last right liesI sense another curve in my futureSomething just up ahead
water processspirit-sloth and overdone;wonder-lost and undercome:still.you are trenchant, sweet love.you planted early mornings-I lay coffee-drunk and thin;oh,the stir of your brown hands.

Whenever she forces itout into rough being, it swims backinto her huddled emptiness again and again.Her husband has painted a multitude of virginsas though by painting a woman with a living child,he can give her a living child.But she knows better.

One man's list of Chicago's best fishing spots
By Dale Bowman firstname.lastname@example.com February 17, 2012 8:30PM
Updated: March 20, 2012 8:19AM
As Illinois' fisheries chief, Debbie Bruce, outlined top spots in Illinois for various species, I realized I define favorite fishing spots by place more than species. I doodled a list of favorites while Bruce talked at the Tinley Park Fishing and Outdoor Show last weekend.
Montrose Harbor south rocks: It was the south rocks before recent revetment civilized the south side of Montrose Harbor. When I came to Chicago after college, I learned to fish the lakefront by reading the late John Spehn's reports about Montrose in the Sun-Times. It's one of my two favorite views of Chicago. I've caught yellow perch, rock bass, coho and chinook there.
Illinois River at Starved Rock: Part is personal — I married my wife, Karyn, on Starved Rock. But it's also because of an unholy alliance with the late guide and rabble-rouser Dominic ''Big Knobs'' Culjan, who popularized that stretch of the Illinois River. With ''Big Knobs,'' I caught catfish at night, shot ducks at dawn and fished sauger and white bass many times. And there's something wonderful about being able to type ''Big Knobs'' in the Sun-Times while the late legend John Husar groused because the PC editors at the big, floppy newspaper deleted it.
''The Waterfall'': The confluence of the North Shore Channel and where the North Branch of the Chicago River spills over a dam is one of the most scenic spots in Chicago outdoors, also one of the top fishing spots. It holds a place in my heart because I earned my second front page in the Sun-Times when Ken ''The Lakefront Lip'' Schneider and I caught a bag of largemouth bass and mixed panfish there.
Kankakee River State Park: It's where I disappear. I have favorite spots, but that's not the point. There are times when I simply wade in, then try to learn a new area with my feet and by fan-casting. It's here I achieve communion with my favorite fish, smallmouth bass. I will not live long enough to wade the 10 miles of the park.
Barren Creek: The Ohio River feeder in far southern Illinois is not only a step back to wilderness but a step back in centuries. It's where former fisheries chief Mike Conlin once said he could believe ivory-billed woodpeckers lived. Our second boy caught his first fish off the Barren Creek Cottages docks.
Northerly Island: My other favorite view of Chicago. And what a fishing spot: salmon to rock bass to smallmouth to perch. But mainly I love it because this is one time the little guy won out over the elitists who used to fly out of the former small airport.
Rend Lake tailwaters: As many times as I fished Rend Lake, it wasn't until 2004 that I disappeared below the dam with guide Todd Gessner. That's when I truly learned to love Rend Lake. It felt like being in Canada or the Boundary Waters.
Lake Shelbyville coves: One of my most memorable evenings of fishing came walking the shorelines of a cove before camping by myself. I stopped fishing before I landed 100 fish in a couple of hours . . . while a whip-poor-will called.
Chain O'Lakes Spring Lake: It's here that I cemented one of my greatest friendship to come out of doing the outdoors for the Sun-Times. Art Frisell, longtime counterman and reel fixer for Triangle Sports and Marine, forced me to learn how to truly work a frog across slop for largemouth. And we learned to bare our souls and talk life.
That's what matters.

Cleaning the registry probably won't do much. You need to
a) Look for installed programs that are "always on" that may be causing the slowdown
b) Check your power settings (if you are on a laptop) to ensure you are not on Power Saver
c) Defragment your hard drive
What are the specs of you computer?

I'd also do scan for viruses, Mailware and to be paranoid, rootkits
for the Mailware I'd use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (http://www.malwarebytes.org/), use the free version
and even though it is in beta, Malwarbytes' have a free anti-rootkit scanner http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/mbar/
and for anti-virus, as well as doing a scan with the AV installed, maybe do a scan with an online AV scanner? Something like the ESET Online Scanner. http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/

Program Overview
In 2004, the Organization for Autism Research (OAR) established the Graduate Research Grant Program intended to encourage and support students conducting research pursuant to graduate and post-graduate studies in disciplines related to assessment, intervention and support of learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and their families. Since then, OAR has awarded 95 grants totaling over $172,000 to graduate students in the U.S. and abroad.
Through this competition, OAR intends to support rising stars in autism
research and promote research in:
OAR seeks to fund studies that will likely produce practical and clearly
objective results that may aid parents, families, professionals, and people
with autism to make more fully informed choices that will lead to healthier

January has been way more challenging than I had ever anticipated back when I was thinking of 2012 resolution possibilities. I didn't expect to watch my little brother die on 1/11. I didn't expect my 97 year old mom to dive so quickly and completely into missing him - he had lived in her house the previous 17 months since splitting from his wife of 22 years. Life is so strange and unpredictable. Still, I've been s blessed through all of this. I came home a couple weeks ago and am trying to catch up with some rest, doctor appointments and tests, and just being present for my husband and for my daughter's family. There is little real time for me. I'm preparing for another two week trip to help my mother and I kind of doubt she will still be alive by this time next year. We'll see. Meanwhile, I need to make time for my exercise time, healthy eating, enough rest. Those are my new resolutions. Maybe they are a little late in making an appearance, but I know with all that is going on around me, I need to take good care of me to be there for everyone else. Blessings on each of you out there who also need to and are trying to make space in your lives for yourselves!
I just made arrangements at a mortuary for my brother who died 1/11 of multiple organ failure due to a lifetime of alcoholism. I will miss him so much. Part of me is very sad. Part is very angry. He was awake and aware right up to the moment of death and squeezed my hand just before he took his last breath. It was a blessing to me to be able to be with him at that moment as well as during the 15 days and nights prior as he lay in that hospital bed.
We all make bad choices and sometimes we keep making them. That's why we are here to support one another as we try to learn to make better, healthier choices. Alcohol was his drug of choice. Food is mine. If I cannot make better choices and sustain that behavior I know it could mean bad things for this body of mine.
Today I chose to have just one slice of pizza at my husband's birthday party and chose to have just three bites of his cake. I had two eggs cooked with only cooking spray for breakfast and a little Greek yogurt with cinnamon before leaving for the airport to finally come home. I also had a few unsalted dry roasted peanuts with me to snack on the plane. I know it wasn't a balanced day, but it is the most I've eaten in two weeks. Tomorrow I so look forward to having fresh fruit and veggies again and cook my steel cut oats and add the berries and cinnamon. I've missed my kitchen where I've been trying hard to concoct spinach smoothies and put together tasty suppers for us that are healthy. Can I sustain this? I hope so. I also yearn to get back to exercise after so many days at a hospital bedside. And I hope and pray that all my Spark friends can feel good about themselves one choice at a time.
Have a great day everyone!
I am so blessed by you who sent encouraging words in response to my last blog. With blood pressure at 51/29 and respirations of about 6, I know the end is near for my brother. Now, at the end I've seen glimpses of that sweet little boy who was adopted into our family when he was 13 months old. So cute! I was 4 1/2 at the time and loved to mother him. I pray that what he is going through can touch others who may yet escape the dark downward spiral of alcoholism. Meanwhile, our mom is so stressed that she has had to use quite a few of her nitro tablets under her tongue the past few days.
On a lighter note, I tasted some of the hospital food and then decided not to push it onto Chris. One could certainly lose weight on this stuff! Have a great day everyone, and thank you so much.
Why do we so often persist in doing things to ourselves that can't possibly have good outcomes? My 'baby' brother's drug of choice has been alcohol for over 35 years. Now he is soon to succumb to liver failure, renal failure a d blood that no longer clots properly. As I helped him get more comfortable at the hospital for the umpteenth time today I prayed and wondered why he had come down this road. Helping him through this has presented me with an odd sort of diet. It has made me desire less of my drug of choice - food. perhaps I will meet a goal or two as we travel together down this difficult path. Disappointment and sadness are tempered by love, but any hope for a different outcome has flown away. I pray this will remind me often that we have just this one body and it is up to us to treat it as the temple it was intended to be. I wish us all much success in our own personal journeys of 2012!
Blessings and hugs to you all!
Today I have lots of cleaning up to do ... I also need to res a bit from a really full weekend. It was such fun. Friday was a lot of racing around to plan a birthday party for our two year old grand daughter. Decided on Dora the Explorer and fond all sorts of decor, puzzles, blanket, pjs, socks, panties, toys and dolls. I'd already gotten her too many presents so this was a bit insane, but it all made for an amazing sight when she arrived for dinner party. I also did a cute cake all about Dora using bath toys, adding some cupcakes, candles and the actual cake was not too big. I cooked tur-duck-hen for the first time and filled out the meal with broccoli, green salad, sugar free jello with berries, mashed potatoes, pumpkin rolls, cranberry sauce and choices of light ice cream. Yum! Saturday I went to 2 basketball games to watch grandsons play, went to dojo to watch their tae qwon do class, and shopped for a fridge for our house that our daughter's family is living. Though not very old, the other one died on Friday ... Ouch! After that it was party time and so much fun. Ziva loved that it was all for her! Late that night we had bed and breakfast guests arrive after a wedding. I was so tired, but managed to be sociable and visit with the lovely couple before we all crashed. The money paid for this goes to scholarships tha a women's group I'm part of helps fund. Sunday morning I had to be up before our guests to get offe going and a nic breakfast prepared. The timing was such that I had to midd worship which felt like such a loss. I rested a little by starting a Christmas jigsaw puzzle while watching football with my dh. But the quiet didn't last as we had committed to babysitting 3 grandkids for the evening. We never expected that we would be stuck there until nearly 3:00a.m. Dh had to arrange to take the morning off from work to sleep. He is very unhappy with our daughter and son-in-law right now. Oh well, it was a fun weekend. Now it's onwards to Christmas ... Party and dinner here on Friday and a late flight out that night to spend a week with more family. Can't wait!

For years, East Harlem has been undergoing changes as more luxury housing moves into the neighborhood, and now one lifelong resident is documenting how that transformation is changing the area's cultural identity. NY1's Jon Weinstein filed the following report.
Andrew Padilla says 96th Street used to be the classic dividing line between the haves and have nots on Manhattan's East Side. But he says that's changed as gentrification has taken hold of his lifelong home of East Harlem. The 23-year-old documented these changes in a movie titled "El Barrio Tours".
"I began to see friends, family, small business owners that I had known for decades that were getting pushed out of the borough, out of the city, out of the country, and I wanted to know why that was happening," Padilla said.
The film talks about the rise in property values and how that change is pushing longtime residents out of the area. Padilla offers walking tours of the neighborhood too, where he points out the changes first hand.
"Traditionally how it works is, you'll have them like this, where you've got a public housing project and a luxury condo, they might be right next door to each other, but that does not mean that these two communities get together," Padilla said.
He also cites Jorge Vargas's Justo Botanica as an example of what's been happening here. It was forced to move to a much smaller space from a far better location on 104th Street.
"We were there since 1954 to 2012," said Vargas. "The landlords threw us out."
Padilla paid to make the film out of his own pocket. Now, he's trying to raise enough money to take his movie to other cities and make links between what's happening here and other parts of the country.
"The hope is to raise $15,000, and get the film out to 15 different cities all across the country that are dealing with gentrification. And begin to explore why they're going through it, and what are the national trends, because it's not just East Harlem that is dealing with this," Padilla said.
Padilla is planning to screen his movie Thursday evening at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe and hold a fundraiser on Friday night.

During my last clinical round (on a med/surg/rehab floor) it caused some confusion...to the students, it meant 'passive range of motion', to our instructor it meant 'premature rupture of membranes' and we always had to give her a moment to go "wait, what? oh yeah, rehab!"

"This was an excellent version of this dish. I usually use ground pork for this dish but decided to try ground turkey instead and it was an excellent substitute. I used the 93/7 (7% fat) turkey and it was the perfect substitute texture for the ground pork. Thanks Sara for an excellent recipe!""

"This salad turned out great...I selected this recipe because I had an over abundance of tomatoes and basil in my garden and this recipe calls for allot of both ingredients. What a great find...I'll be making this recipe for years to come. """
