"The hard thing is that when you choose a time to retire, you get a new enrollment of students. With this enrollment, you want to teach and get to know this child for a year but that year would become five years, so you get to a point where you just have to say no and retire."
Reese and gifted specialist Terry Meek have taught gifted education for over 40 years in Cleveland School District before deciding to retire this academic school year.
Reese and Meek became close friends throughout their journey in gifted education and have raised their children, along with their husbands, together.
"We met while teaching. There were only three of us back then, so we had to rely on one another," Reese.
"Even our children were in Project Pass together and are very good friends. In fact, my youngest Jane and Patsy's oldest Christopher are the same age and are very much alike. They both studied English and are now college professors," said Meek. "Jane teaches a creative writing class at Ole Miss, while Christopher teaches English Lit. at the University of Kentucky."
Reese and Meek have always had a passion to teach in special education.
"I started in special education because I have a little sister, who is now a functional adult, that struggled when she was younger so it seemed like a natural progression," said Reese.
"When I was in the first grade, I made my decision to be a first grade teacher. In 1970, I was offered my first job as a first grade teacher. Since then, I have been teaching and promising myself that I would not be as frightening as my first grade teacher was to me and my twin. My teacher was very stern and had us memorize a lot of difficult things at an early age," said Meek.
Both teachers offered their sincerest gratitude to the Cleveland School District.
"We can honestly say that the years we have spent in Cleveland School District have been the absolute greatest. The administrators have been really supportive to our program, Project Pass."
Project Pass, the district's gifted education program, serves second through sixth-graders.
"To be in Project Pass or to be in a gifted intellectually program in Mississippi, you have to an IQ above 119. Our children's IQ range from 119 to up as high as they possibly can go. We have had some stars in our program over the years," said Reese.
"Project Pass in Cleveland has had several state and national champions in competitions like the Odyssey of the Mind," said Meek.
Reese, who received both her bachelor's of arts in special education and master's of arts in special education from Mississippi State, is the wife of local optometrist, Dr. Frank Reese. They have two sons, Christopher and Ryan.
"It is by far the best job in education as far as I am concerned. I have taught all different kinds of children and one truth I have learned is that children are more alike than different," said Reese.
"The differences between a gifted child's IQ and intellectually challenge child's IQ is that one number but all children feel and respond to things the same kind of way."
Meek, who received both her bachelor's of arts in elementary education and master's of arts in special education from Delta State, is the wife of Delta State's physics professor, Dr. Carlysle Meek. They have one son, Joe, and one daughter, Jane.
"What I plan to do after I retire has yet to be seen. However, one thing I am proud to say is that for the summers of 2001 and 2002, I taught remedial reading, math, and English at Mississippi Valley State University for students that were on the margin for being admitted to the university. This truly warmed my heart to help children get into college," said Meek.

Dubuque Water Trail Dedication Ceremony June 23
Posted: 06/05/2012
In conjunction with the Summer of Paddling 2012, Iowa's newest water trail will be designated during a ceremony at the American Trust Rivers Edge Plaza in the Port of Dubuque at 9 a.m., June 23, in Dubuque.
The Dubuque Water Trail was developed with the support of a Water Trails Development Grant from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Located in the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, the Dubuque Water Trail is 11 miles of shoreline along the western edge of the Mississippi River and the Catfish Creek, beginning at A.Y. McDonald Park and boat ramp and concluding at Massey Marina Park and boat ramp.
The trail was designed with five access points that can provide trips of various lengths for paddlers of all skill levels.
"Whether you are paddling the shoreline of the main channel or enjoying backwater excursions, the trail is an exceptional sightseeing and recreational opportunity. It is where history, nature, commerce and recreation come together to create an amazing experience like none other," said Todd Robertson, with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources Rivers Programs and Water Trails.
Paddlers are invited to join the designation ceremony and bring their paddle craft to participate in the inaugural, guided paddle from the Rivers Edge Plaza and up Catfish Creek.
There will be two paddling options following the designation ceremony.
More experienced paddlers comfortable with a 6.5 mile trip are encouraged to organize and depart from the River's Edge Plaza.
Paddlers with less experience and those who prefer a shorter trip can organize at the Catfish Creek Canoe Launch in the Mines of Spain at 11 a.m., to join the group from the River's Edge Plaza and paddle the final four miles up the scenic Catfish Creek together.
Life vests are mandatory to participate in the inaugural paddle and paddlers will be responsible for arranging transportation.
Erica Wheeler, an award-winning singer/songwriter with a background in environmental studies, will be joining paddlers at the Catfish Creek Canoe Launch.
As part of her Soulful Landscape programs, Wheeler helps people reconnect with places. She will be offering a sense of place activity, for those who are interested, at the Julien Dubuque Monument during the Catfish Creek portion of the event.
Wheeler will also be performing a public concert at the first annual National Mississippi River Boat Fest at 5 p.m., at the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium public courtyard. The concert will relate to the paddling experience on the Mississippi River and Catfish Creek.
The inaugural paddle will officially conclude upon return to the Catfish Creek Canoe Launch.
The Dubuque Water Trail was made possible through partnerships between the City of Dubuque, Friends of the Mines of Spain, Dubuque County Conservation Board and Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium Boat
The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium Boat Fest at the River Edge Plaza in the Port of Dubuque has activities planned for June 23 and 24.
Boats of all kinds from canoes to yachts will participate in the festivities that include a sailboat regatta, boat contest, children's village, Rock n' Rollin' on the River party, birch bark canoe, knot tying and paddle making demonstrations and more.

fresh At-A-Glance
Strengths: fresh provides complete product ingredient lists on their Web site; some good facial cleansers and a handful of praiseworthy makeup items.
Weaknesses: Very expensive; very fragrant; several products contain potent plant irritants; limited sunscreens; boring below-standard toners and masks; no viable exfoliant options (at least if you're aiming to avoid extraneous irritation); no products to manage acne or reliably lighten skin discolorations; the lip balm with sunscreen does not provide sufficient UVA protection.
The story of how Boston-bred "fresh" came into existence is full of compelling adjectives and phrases like "dynamic," "passions," "inspiration," and "destined to create." It seems that back in 1991, two happy newlyweds, both with artistic backgrounds, felt there was a void in the world of luxury bath soaps. They searched far and wide, but could not find a soap that met their criteria. Of course, they began experimenting, gained a following for what they developed, and yet another clone of The Body Shop was born.
Their success has led them from a single boutique in Boston to a series of shops in New York City and a presence in upscale department stores such as Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. In 2000, fresh was purchased by luxury good purveyor (and owner of Sephora) LVMH, which is not surprising given fresh's price point and positioning.
Naturally, given all of this attention, fresh quickly expanded beyond soaps. They now also offer "future of beauty" products that capitalize on such innocuous-sounding, good-for-you ingredients as black tea, rice, and soy, coupled with the latest scientific advances. In other words, according to fresh, they're giving you the best of nature and science, with a heavy accent on natural (even though in most cases it's the synthetic ingredients that are responsible for their product's texture and functionality).
In the marketing copy each fresh product includes a history of how it came to be. It's pleasant to read about products inspired by stories passed down from one generation to the next, and about cultural secrets that have been discovered, incorporated into cosmetic potions, and adorably packaged for your "fresh lifestyle" experience. However, we wouldn't encourage anyone to rely on fables and anecdotal information when it comes to making serious decisions about how to care for your skin, any more than you would do so to make dietary or health-care decisions. What your grandmother ate or what your great-grandmother put on her skin is no more relevant than basing your computer needs on what they were using back then. (Oh, that's right, there weren't computers back then—my point exactly.) We now know a lot more about skin care than ever before in history. Going back to the old ways may sound idealistic, but that doesn't take the best care of you.
Almost the entire fresh premise revolves around their products' fragrance content. For all their talk of cutting-edge technology and the wisdom of traditional remedies, what you will notice most about all of these products is the almost overpowering fragrance. Compared with countless other skin-care and hair-care lines, including Aveda, Bath & Body Works, and Origins, fresh is far more perfumed—and that spells trouble for all skin types. Perfume and eau de cologne, natural or otherwise, are serious problems for skin. The irony is that fresh's signature scents are what put them on the map, and what continue to enthrall consumers. (Women find it hard to give up fragrance in their skin-care products, just like lots of women can't eschew sun tanning, smoking, or using overly expensive skin-care products.) In contrast, many of the natural ingredients in fresh products are present only for show, not effect, and the effects from the beneficial plants are impeded by irritating plant extracts.
From facial skin care to body and hair care, fresh products are a collection of relatively standard to below-average formulations counting on the romanticized stories behind them to help them make the leap from store shelf to your home, and that seems to be happening quite a lot. However, very few of fresh's facial-care products have anything that approaches the current state of the art, especially in regard to interesting skin-identical ingredients, anti-irritants, or antioxidants. And for all the fancy posturing, their soaps are just that, soap, and the fragrance is the only unique aspect of each. None of this makes for superior skin care.
For more information about fresh, call (800) 373-7420 or visit www.fresh.com.
Fresh Makeup
Fresh's makeup offers very little to get excited about. Those who adore a lot of shimmer in their cosmetics will fare best with this line. The company's lineup includes very few matte options, and given the overwhelming prevalence of shimmer products, those over 40 should approach cautiously. This much shine works best on younger, unlined skin because shine makes wrinkles more apparent, not less. The packaging has a youth-oriented appeal, so clearly the marketing department knew who their customers were most likely to be.
Doubtless many shoppers of all ages have been lured to try Fresh cosmetics due to the beautiful packaging, but beautiful exteriors don't have anything to do with the quality of the product inside. If you shop carefully, there are a handful of products you'll probably be satisfied with, but be prepared to pay dearly; just as Fresh didn't skimp on the shimmer, it certainly didn't skimp on its retail pricing.

What an epic fucking scene! We had two of the sexiest German bars maid in history treating us like gods! They called me over to chill with them so I called Voodoo to back me up. I knew what they wanted and that was a little bit of fun and some cock! They treated us to some bread beer and boobies. They were horny as hell and so were we. It was truly a perfect day with our German hotties!

The highest award of the night was given to Bootsie Lyon, vice president and chair of the tourism council.
Lyon was presented with the S.E. Kossman Award.
"(Bootsie) grew up in Pace and graduated from Delta State University," said Libbi Logan, chamber president, adding that Lyon had a master's degree from Mississippi State University and had worked at the Mississippi Employment Security Commission.
Logan said since retiring, Lyon has been "extremely busy" by promoting tourism and giving tours in Bolivar County.
"She knows more about Po'Monkeys than Monkey," said Logan.
Chamber Awards were presented to chairs of chamber committees for outstanding volunteerism.
Honored were Diane Makamson and Emily Havens.
"(Diane) is literally everywhere she is one of those 'give it to me and I'll do it' people. She is a true go getter," said Logan, who added that Makamson "stepped up to the plate in a big way and oversaw every aspect of the Dixie Youth World Series.
Logan said Havens, stepped right in and brought new life to the chamber's Delta State University Committee.
"It's great to see graduates of our Leadership Bolivar County Class take leadership," said Logan.
President's Awards were presented to late U.S. District Judge Allen Pepper Jr. and to Lucy Janoush for being dedicated leaders and volunteers in the community while not heading a committee.
Following the presentation of awards, Logan highlighted some of the efforts from the more than 500 volunteers who work with the chamber.
Those highlights included the Legislative Day in Jackson Italian Fest, Shop Cleveland, the Dixie Youth World Series and the Old Fashioned Thank You.
The top highlight was that Cleveland has seen a "tourism tax increase of five percent" and that inquires from businesses have increased.
Logan also said the chamber is working on an online mapping tool for business in the area so visitors can find things with ease.
The speaker at the banquet was Rita George, deputy director of the GRAMMY® Museum in Los Angeles.
Georg oversees the daily operations of the L.A. museum and its staff and has been instrumental in bringing the GRAMMY® Museum to Cleveland.
Following her talk she was presented with a letter from Gov. Phil Bryant confirming his support for the museum in Cleveland.

I'm looking for a good everyday backpack that is durable and has quite a bit of room. Currently I'm using this backpack that I received as a gift: http://www.mastodonrocks.com/files/merch/preview/detail_backpack.jpg It's a great backpack in that it has the features I want- rucksack style loading, two small front pouches (about the size of a deck of cards) and one larger front pouch (about the size of a graphing calculator) but it's not very durable (it is just band merch, after all). It has almost no structure at all, and while I don't want something with an actual internal frame, I'd like something a bit more rigid. I use the backpack mostly for taking my laptop to class and for weekend trips- the top flap is great for throwing a sleeping bag under. asked Jul 27 '11 at 12:58 wilbus |
The RUSH 72, by 5.11 TacticalAs solid goes, 5.11 Tactical is about as good as it gets. Tested by Viking Tactics for the manifold stresses of modern warfare (no, not the game), the RUSH 72 will hold up to just about anything you can throw at it, water included. I wouldn't submerge it, of course—there are drain points in bottom of the hydration compartment as well as the main compartment—but in rain, there's very little risk of damage if you've closed the zippers fully. The reason I recommend the 72 variant instead of the 24 is simple: there's more space if you need it, and if you don't need it, then you don't have to use it. The compression straps pull tourniquet-tight in a few seconds, and you can loop them into the attached MOLLE webbing to keep them that way. Though the 72 is a bit wider than its smaller cousin, it's not nearly as noticeable as it seems in the pictures, even when packed. I use my 72 as a Bug-Out-Bag, with the two side pockets functioning as compartments for items that might draw a few questions if packed in more accessible areas. And despite the considerable amount of gear I've managed to fit, it's still about the same as my old SwissGear pack. That is to say, fairly mid-sized, as backpacks go. The 72 is also perfect because it's multipurpose, and fulfills various roles without needing any pouches tacked on (although I did find a MOLLE-compatible organizer for pens, an external hard drive, and other such tools). It has sternum straps and hip pads that take the load significantly off your shoulders, and also features an aluminum hard-plate in the back both for support and so any pointy items in the pack won't dig into your spine. Oh. And did I mention pockets? Because there are a lot of those. It doesn't look like it from the picture above, but there are tons of pockets--a sunglasses pocket, an organizer pocket, a main compartment, a water bladder compartment, two side compartments, and additional mesh and closed-nylon pockets within nearly every one of those. I won't lie, it's pretty expensive as everyday packs go, especially if you aren't used to paying for them. I was lucky enough to receive mine as a gift from those who knew which pack I wanted, so I was ecstatic. But every other pack I've owned (a lot of SwissGear) has suffered from ripped handles, zippers that catch and come apart, torn outer shells, and other flaws which significantly reduced the quality of the product. The 72 has every indication of being as battle-ready as Viking Tactics claims, and even with the heavy loads I've carried on a daily basis, it has held up superbly. ~ Nathaniel Gage P.S: If you're not the kind of person to use a hydration bladder, you can consider using the hydration pocket as laptop storage. It fits my 15" Macbook Pro just fine with space to spare, so if you've got something like a gaming computer, then it will probably fit. The aluminum hard-plate doubles as extra protection. P.P.S: And if you're used to being able to stuff a sleeping bag in the main pocket, the 72 has you covered there too. The recent design update now features underside attachment points, so a rolled sleeping bag can be carried under the pack with the aid of a bit of twine or paracord. Of course, you could also just stuff it into the compression pocket. linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 18:13 |
Apple laptop and iPad users are quite fond of Tom Bihn bags. The primary focus is the secure storage and transport of computers. The secondary focus is functional bags for all sorts of activity. The Synapse backpack sounds like a pretty good fit for your requirements. I use the somewhat-larger Smart Alec pack. The even-larger Brain Bag was reviewed here in 2003 (although I'm sure the design has been updated a bunch of times since then). Their Ristretto bags are well-liked by folk for carrying tablets and Air-class laptop computers. linkanswered Jul 30 '11 at 08:43 floatingbones |
Well, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Maxpedition-made rucks and/or slingers. I am a big fan of Kodiak slinger. What I like about Kodiak is that it fits up to 15" notebooks and can quickly be pulled up front so you can retrieve your stuff from pouches while still on the go. This allows you to sit down without removing the slinger as well as pull it up front for security reasons if you're in the crowded spaces where you don't want to keep your valuables behind your back where you can't keep an eye on them. They also have smaller slingers and a line of fanny-pack replacing Versipacks. Quality and durability is top-notch, Maxpedition products will live thru abuse and neglect no problems. For most of the products they now have an option for bright (not military-looking) colours but even regular black/tan/foliage work very well for day to day use. linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 15:25 stangri |
For simple style, you can't beat the Jandd Tozi Kletter. Simple looks, burly cordura construction, attachment points, comfortable straps and well made. It has a traditional klettersack style, which means one main pocket and a top flap/pocket. I did a review on my site here: http://robonza.blogspot.com/2011/01/review-jandd-tozi-kletter-backpack.html For a combination of more business looks and more doo-dads. I have been carrying a Osprey Flapjack. It has a padded area for a laptop, dressier looks and more pockets for office life. I have been using this one for over a year and really like it.

I'm a (female) middle school teacher who has used this backpack to shlep a ton of books, papers, etc, with all required gear (iPad, iPhone, pens, folders, notebooks, thin jacket, small umbrella) for years. I was so enthusiastic about it that I bought one for son (sophomore in high school)--in a different color, natch! It'll hold up to 15" laptop. It's comfortable, roomy, has great, easy access: The Timbuk2 Computer Backpack. It's stylish, roomy, padded but not overly bulky. It looks different (easy to spot). Love all the compartments, secret pocket. It's great for organization freaks, but also has a very roomy main pocket, You can keep things simple, but it allows you to compartmentalize, too.

LA Police Gear 3 Day Backpack is by far the best SIMPLE backpack there is. Keyword here is SIMPLE. Lots of room and compression straps make it easy to pack a lot of stuff. MOLLE straps are a bonus for those who want to expand the use of the pack. Several colors to choose from and a price that is LESS than $30 make this a no brainer. I have used this bag on a daily basis for over a year now and it has done everything that I have asked it to. I had reservations with the pack prior to purchase because of the low price. I figured that it was cheap and not well made. That is the farthest thing from what I got. Well made pack, lots of space, quality materials, and nothing fancy. I am very hard on gear given the nature of my line of work, Tactical SWAT Medic, but this bag has been worth every penny! linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 12:21 |

text: 5 based on the beta demoPosted: 05/11/2009The gameplay is pretty much the same, but there have been a few tweeks that have completely altered the way you play. the use of the "battering ram" (grabbing an enemy and running through a croud) is now a major part of gameplay, which has to be used. simple tapping of the square will not work anymore, you need to use everything you can, especially the cestus. the cestus (new wolf hands weapon) is extremely useful, especially against large enemies, chimera and centaurs. they are no where near as good as the blades against a crowd of enemies, but can knock larger enemies meaning they can not attack. another factor that has largely altered the game is there is now many more enemies, meaning a more epic game, and new tactics that need to be used to be efficient. if there are any worries about God of War being a button masher and repetitive, that is only correct, BUT, and a big but, only on the easiest settings, the settings of the demo. on the much harder difficulties you CANNOT button mash or you will die very quickly. so as the other 2 god of war games this will be a first day purchase from me, and i hope it will be for you too.

It took a Senate committee about three hours to discuss and amend a $955 billion farm bill before approving it with a 15-5 vote on May 14.
Unofficially the goal is to send the bill to the full Senate immediately so that the chamber can have a final vote on the legislation before the Memorial Day recess, said Robert Guenther, senior vice president for public policy for the United Fresh Produce Association, Washington, D.C.
"I think there is better than an even chance they will get it to the floor (of the Senate) next week," Guenther said after the May 14 vote by the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
"It is almost identical to the 2012 (Senate) version of the bill. No surprises in terms of fresh produce programs. Overall we are supportive of the bill."
The U.S. House committee on Agriculture is scheduled to begin discussions of its version of the 2013 farm bill May 15. The lower chamber is expected to take longer with the bill at the committee level than the Senate did, but Guenther said the unspoken goal in both chambers is to finish work on the farm bill as quickly as possible so Congress can focus on immigration reform.
"The House anticipates going to the floor (with its version of the farm bill) in June," Guenther said. "That sets a timeline up for it to go to a conference committee in late July or August with final approval possible in September."
If Congress does not approve a new farm bill by Sept. 30, a continuing resolution to maintain funding would be necessary because the current extension expires that day.
GuentherGuenther said the funding levels for fresh produce in the 2013 versions from the House and Senate are virtually the same as they have been.
There are a couple of concerns, though, about the Senate's version that Guenther said the fresh produce industry is watching closely.
One concern relates to a section in the Senate bill that would require growers who buy crop insurance to have a conservation plan for the land they are insuring.
Guenther said other commodities have had this requirement previously, but not specialty crops, which include fruits and vegetables. He said United Fresh and other produce industry groups have asked for a cost analysis, but none has been provided yet.
"Until we know more about this provision we can't support it," Guenther said. "We need to know what the financial impact might be and how many growers and acres this would impact."

Very nice casual dress
I like this dress a lot. I usually wear an XS in bebe, but size Medium was the only size available, so I took it,
The fit is not too bad. I'm pleasantly surprised. I love the color too. The color was named "Deep Blue" but I would call it "Deep Purple".

Like it a lot!
Got this dress in black and tile blue colors. Fit is great-tight and showing all my curves. I am 5,6, 120 pounds, 32 D- got my usual size in BeBe dresses-XS. Length is just right- not too short but not too long. Comes to the middle of my thighs. Fabric is light and thin. Logo is beautiful like always. I think it is a great dress for vacation. Can wear it in the evening having a nice dinner at the beach.Tile blue color is different than it appears on the site. It is more intense with almost a hint of the green. I would describe it as the color of the sea water. Still really pretty. I did not have any problems with the fit in my upper body area like the other viewer had. Really pleased with my purchase and would buy this dress in more colors (white and hot pink would be great!). Thank you BeBe for always making me beautiful and happy!

Very nice casual dress for the fall
I really like this dress and would have given it 5 stars. The only issue is that it runs big on the top especially the shoulder area. I wish the dress came in an XXS because it probably would have fit me better. Otherwise, it looks very cute on especially after having it altered to my size.

Chicagoans see new pope as 'humble guy who wants to work for the world'

Updated: April 15, 2013 11:34AM
Church bells rang out all over Chicago on Wednesday afternoon, heralding news from almost 5,000 miles away in Vatican City: There's a new pope!
He's full of firsts, folks were quick to point out: The 266th pontiff was born in South America.
He's a Jesuit.
And Francis I has given himself an original papal name that might be a hint of good things to come for Catholics: the humility of St. Francis of Assisi and the clarity of St. Francis de Sales.
The Rev. Albert Anuszewski, chaplain of Loyola University's Rome campus, hustled to St. Peter's Square at the sight of the white smoke. He said it took a minute for people to cheer the new pope because they didn't recognize his name: Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
"There was not an immediate applause and the cheer as they gave Benedict when he was elected," Anuszewski said. "When he came out, you could see like everyone in the piazza was surprised. He looked very surprised that he had been elected.
"I think it seemed he was a little shocked himself," he said.
And when the new pontiff asked people to pray for him, as he undertook leadership of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, Anuszewski said, "There was a beautiful moment of silence as he bowed his head. You could hear a pin drop in St. Peter's Square.
"I think it's going to be a different papacy," he said.
Buenos Aires native Arturo Czerwiak proclaimed Pope Francis' election "one of the greatest things to happen to my country."
"I cried when I heard and I kissed my son," said Czerwiak, his 6-week-old baby strapped to his chest at a mass at Holy Name Cathedral to celebrate the pontiff.
"He's very important in Buenos Aires," said Czerwiak, 42. "He's very humble, very humble. And Buenos Aires. . . it's a dangerous city, and he traveled by bus, he didn't have a driver, that's how he is. And that's what the church needs I think, a humble guy who wants to work for the world."
On Chicago's North Side, the El Mercado grocery store specializing in Argentine goodies buzzed with shock and excitement. Jonathan Rivas said he once was shushed by the man who now is pope.
At 15, Rivas moved a wooden chair in an Argentine church, apparently too loudly for Bergoglio's liking.
"He was sitting there," Rivas said Wednesday, hours after Cardinal Bergoglio became Pope Francis. "He shushed me."
"To know the pope before he was the pope," marveled Rivas, 30, of Madison, Wis.
Rivas' friend, Luis Martinez, has attended church events where Cardinal Bergoglio held court at the Catedral de San Justo in Buenos Aires.
"He is serious and conservative but very happy," Martinez said. "He was humble but he was strong."
"He inspired respect with the other priests," Rivas said. But "he was very humble."
Store manager Aldo Pagnanelli, 60, called the choice "unreal."
"We never expected this," he said, adding that the new pope faces the giant task of leading the church. "He has a lot of big problems on his hands."
Local Jesuits also were bursting with pride. Father Timothy Kesicki, the leader of the Chicago-Detroit Province Jesuits, characterized Wednesday's election of Pope Francis I as two "huge historical events back to back": the selection of the first Jesuit pope following the first papal resignation in centuries.
"The church is broader than its cradle, which is Europe," Kesicki said. He also noted the recognition of the church's growing popularity in Latin America. "What a beautiful relationship he will have with his people."
He said he was "very moved" to hear the new pope ask for prayers from the crowds in St. Peter's Square before offering his blessing.
Alumni of local Jesuit schools such as Loyola University and Loyola Academy tweeted out the news with #AMDG — ad majorem Dei gloriam, the Jesuit motto, which means "For the greater glory of God."
At Cristo Rey Jesuit High School on Chicago's West Side, a Catholic college preparatory school, students have been studying the church's cardinals and talking about the selection of the new pope in religion classes, Director of Development Elizabeth White said. It'll mean a lot to the students, mostly from immigrant families, to know the new leader of the church is a Jesuit from South America, she said.
The Rev. Michael Caruso, president of St. Ignatius College Prep High school, noted the historically close bond between the Jesuit order and the papacy.
"Part of our vows is to accept special missions from the pope," he said. That said, most Jesuits dodge higher leadership roles, he said.
"It's kind of rare to have bishops that are Jesuits," Caruso said. "We've always thought we serve the church better in different ways."
St. Francis de Sales High School "came to as standstill for about 15 or 20 minutes," said Ray Nedohon, president of the Catholic school in Chicago's East Side community. "There's still quite a bit of excitement around the building."
St. Francis de Sales — perhaps the other St. Francis — is the patron saint of journalism, among other things, Nedohon said.
"I know for me personally, right now there is a great deal of hope the new pope would bring some clarity to the church during times that were often difficult in recent history," Nedohon said.
"We are named after the patron saint of journalism and communications and this may bode well for what the Catholic church is looking to communicate looking forward," he said.

A home in the Pacific Palisades...I think that would work for me. For those of you who are not from Los Angeles, the Pacific Palisades is an area on the west side of town beginning just west of Brentwood around Sunset Boulevard and ending up right at the beach at Pacific Coast Highway. Lots of beautiful homes...it is gorgeous there...quite posh and very family friendly (since I'm not married nor do I have kids (translation = single)... this area does not quite appeal to me...maybe it is because everyone there is up and out of their houses by 7:00a on the weekends with their kids doing stuff...too early for me on a Saturday. I am usually up at that time...but it typically takes me until 9:00-10:30am (uh 11a) to rev up and get out of the door on the weekends! If everyone in the Palisades got up and going at 10-11:30a on the weekends...I would move there...hopefully "Palisadians" are reading this and decide to change their ways so I can relocate to this gorgeous area...please stand by for an update...you may be standing by for a long time...but please stand by...anyhooooooooooooo....).
All this talk about the Pacific Palisades is because apparently this home is located there! Impeccably designed by Kristine Kamenstein owner of Jackson Paige Interiors, this home is an absolute delight. Fresh and modern but with traditional and classic bones. Love it.
An arched doorway in the foyer leads into the home's luxe living room. (above)
A Kyle Bunting sewn hide rug makes an impactful design statement in the foyer (above)
A photograph of a flock of birds is used as a wall mural in the dining room - a great substitute for classic wallpaper! (above)
As far as color goes, the den is a study in elegant restraint except for the fun pops of electric orange that energize the room. (above)
A little metal and glass trestle table style desk is perfectly placed against a wall in the family room.(above)
Love the red coral like chandelier above the breakfast nook table (above)
Wood floors and a red cast iron claw foot tub in the master bath...wonderful! (above)
If I could move into this house, I would adjust my weekend schedule a bit!
Love the yellow upholstered lucite bench in the living room and also love the polished metal pendant lights in the kitchen...if you even care what I like.
Actually, I'd love to hear your thoughts. What do you think dear readers...any thoughts?
Happy Thursday (going back to work this morning after a few productive days off)!
P.S. Night has fallen and I just got home from a fab dinner at Jar with JS and was re-reading post...found 1 million and a half typos. Have corrected them some 13-14 hours after publishing!!!!!!!! Yoooohooo readers...please help me out here...tell me if there are typos please (Ruthita hello)...this was a disgrace but here goes the excuses...I was blogging at 6am...bleary eyed...tired...rolled out of bed...barely coherent in the morning as mentioned in post above...I have corrected most of the typos...although there are probably many still in this post...help...it takes a village?...hello?...oh boy...adding to the to do list...watch typos...done...I hope...hee hee!

Startup News: Time's NYC 10 in Tech, Rx Sunglasses Online and Amazon's Hot Sister
PERFECT TEN. Last Wednesday Time Inc. brought together editors from many of their news properties to bestow upon us the "10 NYC Startups to Watch." Only in the startup picking game since lat year's Internet Week, Time Inc. has already picked winners like GroupMe, which was purchased by Skype for a supposed $85 milion.
The startups that made the cut for 2012 are Adaptly, a social advertising platform; Art.sy, the Pandora of art; Codeacademy, an interactive self-paced tool to learn to code; Enterproid, a mobile platform to segregate work from personal information on a single mobile device; Fab—you already know what Fab does; Fancy Hands, a provider of virtual personal assistants; Loosecubes, a matchmaker for workers and workspaces SideTour; a community marketplace for booking and hosting adventures, Stamped; a five-star-only mobile rating app and Truth Art Beauty; an online platform where users can custom-create skincare blends.
FOUNDER POWER. This Friday Women 2.0 is hosting their New York Founder Friday at 16 East 34th Street. Featured founders Cheryl Yeoh of CityPockets and Eloise Bune of GraciousEloise will begin speaking at 7 p.m. but the event will kick off at 6 p.m. with an introduction by Matt Wolfrom of Makovsky and Company, the event's sponsor. Founder Friday is free, and open to people of all genders, unlike the LOL-inducing "Jews against the Internet" rally, which is $10 and closed to women. Unfortunately, Founder Friday is already at capacity. Add your name to the wait list and cross your fingers.
RALLY IN THE ALLEY.

Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Crew Cab Experiences
Will be in the market for 05 or newer crew cab LS, 4x2. Anything I need to look out for on any of those model years, pro/con to any of those certain years. Thanks...
skytop1 Posts: 106I had that same problem with my F150. I opened the sunroof to relieve the air pressure which stopped the buffeting noise. BTW, I have had this problem for years with many different brands. Amazing that this sort of problem is not recognized by all the makers and resolved before putting model into production.
1offroader Posts: 208When all four windows are down in my new model 2007 Silverado, the noise is also bad at fwy. speeds. This is common in all 4 door pickups that I've been in. I think a harmonic pressure pulse is set up inside the cab. However, when I slide the rear window open (I have the optional rear slider), the noise is cut a noticeable amount to the point where it is quite bearable. This was an unexpected but appreciated benefit of ordering the slider. If you can, get a rear window that opens.

builderbill Posts: 7I've had my 2500 HD CC 4x4 duramax for a couple of months and also pull my 5,000 lb cargo trailer. I've been averaging around 13 MPG highway/town. I here others on here with much better MPG reports but haven't seen it in mine. I'm sure it makes a difference of how each person drives? Can't beat the performance and power though no matter what the mileage.

obyone Posts: 8,0651. Does a 1500 limited slip rear end require an additive when changing out?
2. Is it ok to run dextron III in the 4 wheel drive transfer case?
Since we have to guess as to what year your truck is (and yes it makes a difference) have you tried reading your owners manual for that info? -
banshee409 Posts: 4I have a 2004 Chevy. The owners manual doesn't say anything about rear end additive and when I called a dealer, the lady that was in service sounded like she only knew what the manual had in it.
How abou the Dextron III in the transfer case? This is what a parts house recomended.
Thanks -
obyone Posts: 8,065The additive was discontinued in 2003 if I'm not mistaken. Dextron III is what is recommended for the transfer case.
If you look under the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, it should provide the recommended maintenance items based on mileage/date. When it's time to replace the dextron III in the transfer case there should be a page next or before that tells you what to use when replacing the transfer case fluid. -
9_376_Slvrdo Posts: 5Chevrolet Silverado all the way!! Much better built truck bar none. Fully boxed hydoformed frame, solid powertrain, best interior, best ride, the list goes on and on.... Toyota's Tundra is cheaply built and does not have anything on the Silverado. Check out "Bed Bounce" on YouTube. The Tundra practically bends in half at the cab/bed line and twists back and forth. A must view if you are considering the Tundra. This video will definitely change your mind. It's a video Ford put together, but I think the Chevy Silverado performed even better than the Ford. Chevrolet has the experience and know how under their belt, 90+ years, Toyota maybe 15.
docstar31 Posts: 1Have an 06 chevy 1500 2 wheel drive crewcab with 90,000 miles. Past 2 wks, front breaks have been grabbing at diff speeds. Truck slows down without applying breaks(not by tranny either). Have replaced rotors,pads,and hardware.Not breaklines though.Get home, breaks are like I just raced at martinsville speedway. Any ideas..
donaldpigott Posts: 1my father has a 2000 sierra 1500 4wd .when slightly pressing brake pedal 10 mph or less the pedal actually pushes back and brakes fail,this has not yet happened at normal drivind speeds but twice pulling in driveway which cost a new garage door and again pulling in gas station the other day.is this a abs module problem?

I recently purchased a slingbox for travel and found out the hard way that it wasn't what I needed. Evidently the resorts we tend to stay at don't have the highest bandwidth available and thus the slingbox is impossible to watch.
Am now considering the nomad and was hoping for some input from those of you that have the unit. Any input, good or bad, greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I know I'm late responding to your initial post and you've already bought your nomad but for anyone else who may be on the fence I want to echo the enthusiastic comments of others who have posted. In fact, I've been meaning to post about how useful we've found the nomad. My wife and I recently did a cruise to the Bahamas which involved both a long flight and expensive, dial up level speed on-ship Internet. Obviously, a streaming solution is out of the question for watching on a cruise (or a plane). The nomad is a perfect solution. It made the flights and layover go by very quickly with little stress. And, although we didn't actually end up watching much on the cruise itself, it was nice to know we could. As others have said, it is very nice to be using your nomad on a trip and know that you're not paying additional money for content - you're really extending the value of your existing subscription, and that is very satisfying.
I hope they continue to support and develop the nomad platform. On my wish list: remote access to your DVRs through the nomad app. This way, when you're on a trip you could remotely see what new recordings you have, select them for encoding, and download to your device (if you find you happen to have the bandwidth to do so). It would be nice to have the ability to get shows that have been recorded to your DVRs after you left the house. We've found that we have enough to watch as it is but this would be a nice option.

The word "Kia" is derived from the Chinese characters Ki, meaning to "arise or come up out of" and A, referring to Asia. So when put together, Kia means to "arise or come up out of Asia".
