Joe Esch '11 Joins the Admissions Office
Joe Esch of South Bend has accepted the position of Admissions Counselor at Holy Cross College when he graduates from the college next month. He will be delivering the Student Reflection at Holy Cross' 44th Annual Commencement on Saturday the 14th of May and accepting his B.A. diploma in Theology with highest honors.
Joe came to Holy Cross as a junior transfer student after spending two years at a large Catholic university in Kentucky. "Honestly, I think I lost myself a little at the bigger school," Joe says. "As a 2005 Trinity School at Greenlawn graduate, I was accustomed to being part of a close community. By coming home to Holy Cross College, I found that this community environment really helped me flourish," he explained. "I look forward to helping high school seniors make their college decisions as part of the admissions staff here at Holy Cross. There are many opportunities at a small college that you can't find at a large university. College counseling is about helping individual students find their own right fit," he explained.
During the past year, Joe worked as a student ambassador in the admissions office. His other college activities included, playing Center Midfielder for the varsity soccer program, being a leader on the college's Mission Team, acting as Campus Associate for Catholic Relief Services, and volunteering with Habitat for Humanity. Additionally, he interned at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church as a pastoral ministry assistant helping to organize outreach with Saint Margaret's Woman's Shelter and Dismas House.
"We are very pleased that Joe accepted our offer to continue as part of our full time staff in the Admissions Office at Holy Cross," says Marie Bensman, Dean of Admissions. "His intelligence, character, work ethic, and friendly nature will be a great addition to our staff."
Joe is the fifth of six children of proud parents James and Cynthia Esch of South Bend's Wedgewood Park neighborhood.

Monday 26 Jan 2015
By Georgina Adam. Comment, Issue 198, January 2009Published online: 19 January 2009
The general economy and also the art economy is clearly headed for some choppy waters…" This is what mega-dealer Larry Gagosian told his staff in a tough-talking, if ungrammatical, memo published last November in Flash Art, as the global financial meltdown continued to panic investors, the US recession was officially confirmed and unemployment figures for the country soared by 533,000 in that month alone.
Elsewhere in this issue, we look at the effect the credit crunch is having on the art world as the new year begins. In the art market, there have been a few early victims of the crisis, including the 18 employees sacked by PaceWildenstein in New York, and the 17 "fabricators" of pill cabinets, butterfly paintings and pickled animals axed by Damien Hirst. "I want to make sure that we are the best swimmers on the block. The luxury of carrying under-performing employees is now a thing of the past," warned Mr Gagosian, in a similar vein, in the same memo to his staff.In Miami, the trendy French dealer Emmanuel Perrotin has shuttered his gallery, and now will only reopen it for Art Basel Miami Beach next December. Sotheby's is also trimming its workforce, and has announced it has abandoned guarantees for the foreseeable future. The firm, and its arch-rival Christie's, were badly hit by the collapse in art prices during New York's sales of impressionist, modern and contemporary art in November, which garnered only half the expected totals. Those sales were prepared before the autumn, when art prices were still riding high. Some works sold in November for half their low estimates, and up to 75% of the works in some sales were bought in.Today a different reality prevails. The lacklustre 2008 autumn fairs, Frieze and Art Basel Miami Beach, saw dealers prepared to be flexible on prices, accepting discounts of up to 30%. But, as journalist, sociologist and lecturer (and The Art Newspaper contributor) András Szántó points out: "Just as designer brands are now being offered at huge discounts in the high street—were those shoes or handbags really worth the previous prices?—so those [pre-financial meltdown] prices should never have been so huge. Some dealers priced art so aggressively, and the prices went up with such velocity, that it is inevitable that they should fall back sharply."These prices rose with the greatest speed for contemporary art. But the picture of the art market, as 2009 opens, is far from simple. It is always worth remembering that the market is not a single block, but a whole series of sub-sections. More traditional categories, where prices did not rise so dramatically, have weathered the downturn better. The London sales of old master paintings in December, for example, saw enthusiastic bidding for the best works on offer, with Christie's selling a rediscovered Tiepolo for £2.8m and Sotheby's making £3.6m for Frans van Mieris the Elder's A Young Woman In a Red Jacket Feeding a Parrot, 1663, (est. £500,000-£700,000). And there was extraordinarily strong take-up and an 87.6% sell-through rate (by lot) for Victorian narrative painting, an unfashionable category if ever there was one, from the Scott Collection, held at Sotheby's London in November. The sale of stock of traditional antique furniture in London by Christie's from the Jeremy and Hotspur dealers was by no means a rout, and made near its (admittedly "realistic") pre-sale estimate. Elsewhere, a Seurat drawing made $6.3m in Paris, five times higher than expectations. Everywhere, while sell-through rates are down, there is still money being spent on art and buyers available for the best works.Against this must be placed dire results for the over-estimated, over-supplied Russian market and severely weakening totals for contemporary Chinese art and Middle-Eastern art. At Christie's sale in Dubai last autumn, Parviz Tanavoli's sculpture, Poet in Love, 1998-2007, fetched $242,500, well under its low estimate of $400,000. Again, these were categories where prices had risen the highest, and the fastest, supported by speculative buying.As this year starts, what are the prospects for the art market? "As long as you see wild fluctuations on Wall Street, no one will spend a lot of money on art. I think 2009 is going to be very difficult," says Per Haubro Jensen of the venerable New York dealers Knoedler & Company. To this must be added the psychological impact of the meltdown—for many, it seems the wrong time to be buying what is, after all, an inessential purchase.Supply presents an ambiguous picture. On the one hand, vendors are holding back from selling, for fear of "burning" their pictures by seeing them unsold; the auction houses are struggling to bring in good material for next month's sales. On the other hand, forced sales by cash-strapped collectors may bring desirable works onto the market. Dealers claim that it is a great time to buy, and a number were acquiring inventory at Art Basel Miami Beach last month. "Cash is king at the moment, and there will be great buying opportunities," concludes Mr Szántó.The writer is editor-at-large of The Art Newspaper

Here we are in 2011 and the art market is back. Sales have been great and the artists and galleries that survived are that much stronger. 2011 will be a great year for art and artists. So all the artists and art galleries get busy and get to work. Cuban American Artist Jose Acosta
6 Apr 10 14:43 CET
the art market is contribed bs based on inflation of price by the gallery to make more $ and make things seem elite or extravagant. Understand this, the $6.6 Billion industry of art rests on one-thing ONLY, the inverse of a MASTERs successful career to the failing emerging artist. It's designed that way. If EMERGING artists sart to "break free" and get momentum, the other portions of the market will alternately be forced to implode. the current economy has done that, now the EMERGING artists are about to revolutiuonize and explode!
19 Nov 09 20:41 CET
I think 2009 has been a year of opportunity for the hard working artists who have original vision. The adjustment in market rate gave the emerging artists a chance to play catch-up and more opportunities to exhibit. I for one am having the best year ever and plan to continue right through the hardest of times. You see it takes planning, patience, dedication and lots of will to succeed in these times. I have always created art for the love of creating and no market good or bad dictates what I choose to create. Special thanks to all those collectors who continue to patronize the artists they admire. They are the true heroes in these hard times.
14 Oct 09 16:17 CET
Art galleries that want to survive the global recession need to position themselves for the eventual upturn. Clear out the "rubbish", look for contemporary artists that are selling in this economy and create new excitement about the future.
20 Sep 09 14:14 CET
Some artists won't come back from this and the generation of artists, especially the London artists will never recover their prestige as their work gently leaks onto the market over time. I bought a Robyn Denny painting for £100 that had once sold for £20,000. There will be more and more like that. And lets face it: much of the work was utter rubbish anyway. Art was fashionable, soon it won't be and so prices will drop.
Of course the art market is only going to continue to plummet in 2009. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either a fool or attempting to deceive you. However, it is just as obvious that there is an upside to this predicament. 2009 is the perfect year to take advantage of the record instability of the financial markets. It may be hard to believe but now offers a once in a lifetime opportunity. Whether you are a contemporary art buyer or contemporary art maker the potential payoff is huge. All anyone has to do is gain access to reliable art data analysis and art data pattern processing. Cheers to the New Year! Jamie Vandenberg of Contemporary Artistic Technologies
The overall sentiment of buying hesitancy and instability is difficult to miss at any art world event you attend. That said, it's a collector's market right now, and for those with the stomach to buy, there are A-level works being offered at opportunistic prices. There are also new platforms emerging to minimize the inherent riskiness this article outlines. One new one I know of is called Untitled Partners. They created a fractional ownership platform that enables collectors to buy works together. It's not an art fund, but it does allow collectors to diversify their risk by purchasing fractions of multiple works, or by committing less capital up front to the works they want. There are also companies like Fine Art Capital Group that offer art financing. For collectors with a tolerance for a bit more risk, the potential for big rewards in the form of great, valuable pieces seems high right now.

Dr. Samantha Lindsay Presented Heart Association's Lifestyle Change Award
November 15, 2011
St. Petersburg, FL - Northside Hospital Primary Care Physician Samantha Lindsay, M.D., not only talks the talk, but she also walks the walk! She was selected as the 2011 recipient of the American Heart Association's (AHA) Lifestyle Change Award, presented Saturday, November 5 at Raymond James Stadium as part of the annual AHA Heart Walk.
Dr Lindsay sees patients every day and counsels them on the importance of lifestyle changes to improve their health. Her patients may be thinking, "Easy for you to say…" but the truth is that Dr Lindsay took her own advice this past year, and lost 45 pounds and reduced her dress size by four sizes! And she did this with a handicap of a lung disorder which impacted the level of exercise she was able to do.
Shortly after completing her residency, Dr. Samantha Lindsay was diagnosed with Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency secondary to severe COPD. Breathing had become more difficult and she found herself often short of breath and tethered to a portable oxygen device. She also found herself overweight.
Dr. Lindsay started on a diet program where she watched the amounts of food she consumed and made healthier choices. She also began exercising and gradually increased the amount of time and number of days based on her lung tolerance. Though her condition limits some of the activities she can participate in, she is now able to exercise up to six days a week and finds herself needing portable oxygen less and less.
"I am honored to be recognized for making changes in my lifestyle. I feel better about myself, both health and appearance wise, and I hope I can be a role model to those who don't think that they can achieve their goals of becoming healthier," said Dr. Lindsay.
As a physician, she feels that Family Medicine gives her the opportunity to see the whole family from infants to the geriatric patient. During residency at the University of South Alabama, she placed emphasis on family wellness and disease prevention, focusing on women and children's health issues.
The American Heart Association's Lifestyle Change Award is presented annually to a person in the Tampa Bay area who has made changes in their lifestyle in order to become healthier. Each year winners are announced at the Tampa Bay Heart Walk.

We are doing 5 piece flush inset drawers with some detailing on the rails & stiles.
It seems everyone I can think of has done a slab top drawer with cup pulls b/c otherwise a cup pull won't fit well in between the rails (if at all). Has Anyone done (or can you find pics of) a knob on the top drawer of the stack so you can still do paneled drawer and not slab? I'm deciding between doing a slab to keep all drawers with cup pulls.... or using a glass knob on top drawers and keeping the 5 panel there. Any advice or experience with this would be appreciated : ) |

Maybe Lalitha's thread from last month will help. She was asking about which kind of hardware (cup pull, bar pull or knob) to put on which kind of drawer and door. There are some good pics and links to Elizpiz's and Segbrown's unbelievable kitchens along with discussion. Maybe it will help? P.S. I now don't officially suck anymore! I answered your emails! ;) |

No, you don't : ) Thanks! I read through but there were slab drawers on the top. I am looking to see if anyone has 5 piece top drawers and used a knob and then used a pull on the rest of the stack below? |
- Posted by breezygirl (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 12:54
Lol! So you want to see pics of 3-drawer stacks, each drawer 5 piece, knob on top drawer, and cup pulls on the bottom two drawers? I've seen that many times, but don't have any pics handy to show you and have to run. I'm positive someone else will post pics. |
My cup pulls fit on my 5 piece top drawers....... Nancy |
- Posted by 2LittleFishies (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 14:07
springroz- Oooh- do you have a picture? Is your top drawer standard size? Ours will be 4 3/4" high (if slab). Do you have trouble getting your fingers underneath? Thanks! |
We're using 5-piece drawers and will end up using drop pulls instead of cup pulls. I specifically picked the pulls and sent the link to our cabinet maker before we decided whether to use slabs or 5 piece drawer fronts. Numerous manufacturers make a similar pull so there are a lot of different finish options. This way I don't have to pick two different pulls for the drawers. |

Fishies--we are also doing 5-piece inset drawers (Rutt New Yorker which also have a bit of detailing) and we decided to do slab top drawers. We are using 4-inch pulls (Forms & Surfaces Sweep pull which is very similar to the Hickory Studio pull). Sorry I don't have pictures. I decided at the last minute that the top drawer seemed too busy with the pull inside the framing and decided to go with the slab top. HTH |
- Posted by 2LittleFishies (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 16:04
I think top drawer is too busy with pull but may do a knob and keep the 5-piece. That's what I'm looking for : ) |
fishies, I think it will look nice mixed up.. As long as the color/ tone of the hardware is the same, it will look nice. |
- Posted by 2LittleFishies (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 16:18
Lalitha- well, I am doing chrome cup pulls and glass knobs. Definitely the knobs for uppers but thought using them on the small top drawers would be good too instead of cup pulls. (Or if I do slab drawers, I'll stick with cup pulls : ) |
Not sure if these are exactly what you're looking for, but they might help Knobs on top & cup pulls below, all 5-piece: Cup pulls on all, top is a slab: |

Christine40- Our posts crossed- just so you know I was referring to the pics Audry posted : ) How high are your drawers in total? And how high is the blank space? and how high are you pulls? LOL A lot of ?s there! |
- Posted by christine40 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 17:31
Not sure if you are talking to me about drawers ect: but here goes:: My top drawers are 6" tall, the panel (between the styles) is 3" and the cup pull is 2", it leaves roughly 1/2" above and below (give or take a bit). I purposely found a cup pull that looks longer rather than taller==if that makes sense. Mine are Alno cup pulls. |
Here you go....... My top drawers are only 5" deep total, and that center section is only 3". Those pulls are 5" wide, and I don't have any clearance problems, even though I have big hands. That is why I seached to find a bigger pull! HTH!! |
- Posted by 2LittleFishies (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 18:31
Great info! Thanks : ) |
- Posted by 2LittleFishies (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 18:33
springroz- How high are your pulls themselves? |
Looks like 1 3/8" on my measuring tape. Nancy |
- Posted by 1929Spanish (My Page) on Wed, Sep 12, 12 at 22:57
I didn't do cup pulls, but I did knobs and pulls. Maybe this helps? We have two cutting boards making our drawers that much smaller, but the knobs worked on all of our top drawers. |
- Posted by 2LittleFishies (My Page) on Thu, Sep 13, 12 at 8:18
My cab maker said our top drawers will be 4 3/4" and with rails there will be 1 3/4" space in between for hardware. Springroz has 3" space in between and Christine has 6" drawers with 3" in between. That could be the difference. Out of our 26 drawers, only 8 are small top drawers so maybe I should do slab on those. Looking back I do like the look for the top drawer. I was just "scared" that without a bead they may be too plain but I think with everything else that goes on in a kitchen it will probably look great anyway! Just making sure with cab maker all the top drawers are 4 3/4" before I make a final decision : ) |

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Jesus told his disciples, "Situations that cause people to lose their faith are certain to arise. But how horrible it will be for the person who causes someone to lose his faith! | 1 Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. |
2 It would be best for that person to be thrown into the sea with a large stone hung around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to lose his faith. | 2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. |
3 So watch yourselves! "If a believer sins, correct him. If he changes the way he thinks and acts, forgive him. | 3 So watch yourselves. "If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. |
4 Even if he wrongs you seven times in one day and comes back to you seven times and says that he is sorry, forgive him." | 4 If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him." |
5 Then the apostles said to the Lord, "Give us more faith." | 5 The apostles said to the LORD, "Increase our faith!" |
6 The Lord said, "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Pull yourself up by the roots, and plant yourself in the sea!' and it would obey you. | 6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you. |
7 "Suppose someone has a servant who is plowing fields or watching sheep. Does he tell his servant when he comes from the field, 'Have something to eat'? | 7 "Suppose one of you had a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Would he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? |
8 No. Instead, he tells his servant, 'Get dinner ready for me! After you serve me my dinner, you can eat yours.' | 8 Would he not rather say, 'Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? |
9 He doesn't thank the servant for following orders. | 9 Would he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? |
10 That's the way it is with you. When you've done everything you're ordered to do, say, 'We're worthless servants. We've only done our duty.'" | 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.' " |
11 Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee on his way to Jerusalem. | 11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. |
12 As he went into a village, ten men with a skin disease met him. They stood at a distance | 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance |

FDT 4.0 Corporate Design
- Kind Corporate Design
- Client Powerflasher
- Our Part Corporate Design, Art Direction & Design, Visual Programming
- We love finding a new brand, generative design
The Multimedia Agency Powerflasher in Aachen which is also responsible for development and distribution of the Software tool, gave us the order to create a new logo and visual for the new launch.
The brand image had to be worked out completely new. Important here was that the high professional quality of the software tools reflexes in realization.
FDT is the standard development environment for professional AS2/AS3 and Flex-programming. FDT improves the development-workflow and increases the productivity with high-efficient and time saving features.
FDT is offered in 3 different versions: Pure, Plus and Max.
We have started with searching for attributes which are supposed to demonstrate the new brand. We focused on joy and maturity as coding is fun.
To emphasize the nature FDT we early decided to generate the visual computer – coded with FDT and executed by the flash player. We tried to abstract from the code and show what it means for the developer.
The basic topic was found quickly. A cube seemed to be appropriate for us when building things. On the one hand, because the cube with its geomatrical basic design is quite suitable to visualize the process of development. Its about building great architectures from simple structures and subsystems. On the other hand the cube is a homage to the old FDT logo, which already demonstrates the development on basic.
Our next step was to create a visual. We tried different things like abstract arrangements of cubes or using patterns to distribute them or generate a kind of landscape. 2D and 3D optic was important as well as coloring and shading.
At the end there was a whole landscape consisting of cubes. This allegory seemed to be most favourable to match the topic of maturity, further development and to enjoy creating things. The landscape is also very helpful to demonstrate the three different product editions – refer to the packshots.
Finally the new FDT logo was designed. The blip/figurative mark is a cube with perspective projection designed by smaller cubes. Even here the topic 'growing up', further development is given but at this time combined in a concrete form.
The word mark is plain and rather supports the logo instead of being obstrusive. By using the wonderful font National, the corporate typeface of Powerflasher, the origin of the tool is emphasized.
More insights into the FDT4 visual development process is here
Wallpaper Creator
After our successful work on the new Corperate Design, we were asked to take our generative approach a little further to create some viral buzz. In collaboration with our client we decided to take the tool that we had used to create the new visual and built a Wallpaper Creator that users can use to create there own personal Wallpaper and give them the possibility to share it with their friends on facebook and twitter.

Wow, really incredible stuff. Very impressive brief and showcase of your work. I especially like the insights into the development process.
Yeah, the insights in the development process are great. Would be interesting to get a connection between the experiments and the development process. I love the logo while it will take some time till I can live with the landscape. A bit surprising that the work is shown here before used at the FDT website ;).

In many ways, this guide could be summarized in two lines:
No matter how good the stationery is, or how convincing the claims may be, these two indicators are the most reliable for determining the likelihood of a scholarship scam. Some other popular signs of scholarship scams, via the FTC:
"The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back."
The reality is that there are no guarantees when it comes to scholarships. Scholarships are evaluated on many criteria, and while there are many, no one can guarantee you an award.
"You can't get this information anywhere else."
In the age of the Internet and search engines, this is simply no longer true. To learn more about finding scholarships with search engines, grab our free 19 page e-Book, Scholarship Search Secrets, completely free at the Student Scholarship Search Website.
"I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship."
Giving over any significant personal financial information is a clear sign of a scam. This extends to things like social security numbers as well; identity theft scams masquerading as scholarships are becoming more prevalent.
"You've been selected by a 'national foundation' to receive a scholarship" or "You're a finalist" in a contest you never entered.
Generally speaking, if you receive notification that you've won anything - the lottery, a scholarship, etc. and you did not enter, it's a scam.
Remember that today, a scholarship scam may not just be a solicitation for money. Information such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, and other personal identification information can be used for identity theft as well. The most important thing to remember with any kind of potential scam is to trust your instincts. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. If something feels wrong or suspicious, trust your gut instincts, pass it by, and keep working on completing legitimate scholarship applications.

Dipping into Johnny Flynn, Malcolm Middleton and The Young Republic
With the Bimble Inn tent's balladeer crown going to Emmy The Great last year, it's deservedly up to multi-instrumental troubadours Johnny Flynn and the Sussex Wit to nab it in her absence this time round.
One of the strongest members of the alt-folk scene in London at the moment, Flynn's country-tinged songs showed off the band's versatility, with Flynn alone rapidly switching between ukelele, banjo, guitar and violin during the course of an excellent set.
'Cold Bread' and July's release 'Ode To A Mare Trod Ditch' were received as old friends, with extra applause reserved for a rousing version of old favourite 'Tickle Me Pink'. A record label honcho is later heard to grumble that they were too young to be convincing on a lyrical basis, but ambition never killed anyone - certainly not when it sounds this good.
Malcolm Middleton has been around the block enough to know exactly what he's on about. "It's miserable as fuck," he says cheerfully when introducing 'Loneliest Night of My Life Come Calling'. While the lyrics wouldn't argue, Middleton's acoustic band comprising himself, a double bassist and a violinist-cum-backing singer means that the lasting effect is more that of a relaxing dinner party than a teary evening hugging the remote. Hell, he even promotes a Swindon hotel he recently stayed in, praising the all you can eat Japanese buffet and resident Basil Fawlty.
New song, the ravishing 'Week Off', does little to change this sedate atmosphere, but then 'Break My Heart' gets Middleton shrieking, "I don't want to sing these shit songs anymore." The old grump's still grumbling, thank God.
Sticking my head around the door of The Local afterwards to catch the last few songs of The Young Republic is about all I can do: fans of the Bostonian octet have filled the tent to bursting. As signings to End of the Road's own label, they've played three sets this weekend, and all this has got them enough new followers to warrant ditching their own songs and playing covers.
Dylan's 'Highway 61 Revisited' is blaring out as I peer over the shoulders of the heaving throng in front of me, while frontman Julian Saporiti wisecracks in a way that annoyingly fails to translate when written down, before the band finish off with one of their own. More please.

100 Block Gay Street Open for First Friday
March 5, 2009
- The shops, galleries and restaurants of the 100 Block of Gay Street will all be open as usual on First Friday, which takes place on March 6 in Market Square and downtown Knoxville after work until late evening.
The first Friday of every month is a great time to explore and enjoy downtown Knoxville including its galleries, restaurants and shops many of which stay open until late in the evening on First Friday, which is sponsored by the Market Square District Association.
This Friday marks the first time this event has been held since construction began on the Gay Street Streetscapes Project, which has led to the closure of the street at the 200 Block of Gay. However, it will not affect access to the businesses on the 100 Block.
Gay Street 100 Block Project
100 Block Construction Blog
The street and sidewalks of the 100 Block of Gay remain open, though drivers will have to detour around the construction site, and the ongoing work does not affect parking in the area.

Dear Gramps,
My question is: Where can we draw the line on things like de-caf and herbal tea? (Both of which I would have considered okay by the Church.) In Japan, green tea, for example, is considered a health drink and members are commonly ridiculed when we refuse to drink it for "health reasons."
Dale, from Japan
Dear Dale,
Not only are people who obstain from tea ridiculed in Japan, but in England also, as it is a deeply ingrained national drink for the English.
As for me, I avoid de-caf like I would any other coffee, because I understand that coffee is against the Word of Wisdom. I don't need to analyze it for its ingredients in an attempt to justify an exception. However, herbal teas are not against the Word of Wisdom. In fact, herbal medicine was practiced by the people in Book of Mormon times, i.e.,
And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land–but not so much so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God had prepared to remove the cause of diseases, to which men were subject by the nature of the climate (Alma 46:40).

Construction spending slips but homebuilding rises; states vary on highway stimulus
September 1, 2009
Construction spending in July totaled $958 billion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR), 0.2% less than the downwardly revised June total and 10.5% less than in July 2008, the Census Bureau reported today. (Seasonal adjustment is a statistical technique to remove normal weather- or holiday-related fluctuations. Annual rate allows comparison of quarterly or monthly changes to full years.) Private nonresidential spending fell for the fifth month in a row, slumping 1.2% in July, after tumbling 2.2% in June. Losses were most acute for developer-financed categories: lodging, -8.4% for the month and -35% compared to July 2008; office, -1.7% and -26%; and commercial (retail, wholesale and farm), -1.7% and -35%. The only private categories that outpaced the July 2008 level were manufacturing construction, up 0.9% for the month and 47% over 12 months; and power construction, down 0.8% in July but up 10% from a year earlier. Public spending slipped 0.8% from June to July, after five consecutive monthly increases, as cutbacks in state and local government budgets offset federal stimulus dollars. The only significant exception was in water supply projects, where spending increased 3.7%, following a 6.8% jump in June. Private residential construction rose 2.3% for the month as new single-family construction spending surged 7.0% in July, following a 3.1% gain in June. New multi-family construction plunged 3.3% for the month and 37% year-over-year. Residential improvements fell 0.2% in July but rose 6% year-to-year.
States have obligated 70% of highway stimulus funds for 6,929 projects as of August 31, according to a table the Federal Highway Administration distributed today. However, only 5% of funds had been expended. The table showed that $26.6 billion was made available to 50 states, the District of Columbia and five outlying areas. Among the states, Wyoming had obligated the most, 99%, followed by Maine and New Hampshire, 95% each. Every state had obligated at least 40% of available funds, with Virginia (40%), Nevada (42%), and Hawaii (43%) at the low end. Maine led in funds expended (40%), followed by Iowa and South Dakota (24% each). No money had been expended in Hawaii and less than 0.5% each in Florida, South Carolina, California, Virginia, Delaware and D.C. States varied widely in the average size of project, ranging from $900,000 in Indiana, North Dakota and Oregon to $14 million in New Mexico and $8 million in D.C.
Power and manufacturing construction should get a lift from several recent projects. In separate stories on Monday, the Wall Street Journal reported that investment funds are flowing to wind energy through provisions in the stimulus act that took effect at the end of July and that "Duke Energy Corp. plans to build its ninth wind farm in the U.S., and fourth in Wyoming," involving at least 66 turbines. The Southtown Star (Illinois) reported on Monday, "Enbridge, a pipeline company that transports Canadian crude oil to the United States [is building] the $2.7 billion Southern Lights pipeline, which is to stretch 1,600 miles from Will County [Illinois] to Edmonton, Alberta." Rolls-Royce plc announced on Friday that it will spend more than $100 million on a manufacturing plant in Crosspointe, Va. "Over time, the company anticipates additional investment of up to $500 million in Virginia."
Unemployment rates were higher in July than a year earlier in all 372 metropolitan areas, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported today. The national unemployment rate in July was 9.7%, not seasonally adjusted, up from 6.0% a year earlier. Among the 369 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available, 353 areas reported over-the-year decreases in nonfarm payroll employment, 14 reported increases, and 2 had no change. An analysis AGC released Monday of BLS data on metro employment in construction (combined with logging and mining in metros for which these industries have small totals) showed that of 336 metro areas for which data was available, construction employment fell in 319, rose in 11 and was unchanged in six. The worst hit, Reno-Sparks, Nevada, had a 33% decrease, followed by Wenatchee, Washington; Duluth, Minnesota-Wisconsin; and Tucson, 32% each. Columbus, Indiana, again led the nation in construction job growth with a 14% increase, followed by Weirton-Steubenville, West Virginia-Ohio, 13%; Anderson, Ind. and Baton Rouge, 6% each; and Longview, Wash., 3%.
Real (net of inflation) investment in private nonresidential structures shrank 15% (SAAR) in the second quarter, following an even steeper 44% contraction in the first quarter, according to revised estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis on Thursday. Real residential investment plunged 23%, following a 38% drop. In contrast, real government investment in structures soared 21%, after a 4.3% first-quarter decline. Price indexes shriveled 9.7% (SAAR) for private nonresidential structures, 5.4% for residential investment and 4.3% for government structures.
The Federal Reserve on July 17 reported the results of a quarterly survey of senior loan officers at 55 large domestic banks and 23 branches of foreign banks. "The fraction of domestic respondents that reported tightening standards on CRE [commercial real estate] loans fell to about 45%, compared with 65% in April. Still, this fraction is higher than that reported for [commercial and industrial] loans and all consumer lending categories except nontraditional residential mortgages. About 45% of foreign banks also reported tightening standards on CRE loans, a slight increase from the figure reported in April. The net percentage of domestic respondents that reported weaker demand for CRE loans fell slightly-to roughly 65%–but it remained large by historical standards and relative to other loan categories. About 45% of foreign respondents also reported weaker demand, a slight increase from the April survey."

From Wikipedia, "The pinewood derby is a racing event for Cub Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America. Cub Scouts, with the help of parents, build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine, plastic wheels and metal axles ..."
The Stumptown 40 is a lot like a Pinewood Derby, but instead of boys creating cars from blocks of wood, it's Portland's creative types. And instead of a church gymnasium, the Stumptown 40 will be held at Spirit of 77 (where a full bar is available). Car kits are $25 (price includes event admission). Register here.
Hey, it's for charity, man. You knew that, right?
Not so good at questions, either! If you're not the whittling and/or sanding type, feel free to join the fun as a spectator.
Unlike derbies of the Kentucky sort, the Stumptown variety requires no fancy hats or party gear, though such attire is not discouraged. Consider something more utilitarian - perhaps a belt on which you can hang a pocketknife (Whittlin' Chit required). A jaunty neckkerchief will appeal to both the aesthetes and the mathletes in the crowd - it works equally well as neckwear or emergency tourniquet.
You're right to be excited. Participating in the Stumptown 40 is about the best thing a person can do.
Print the receipt you received when you registered, and bring it with you to Hand-Eye Supply (427 NW Broadway, Portland, OR, 97209) between 12 PM and 6 PM, 7 Days a week. Show one of the friendly staff members your receipt to get you your kit, and you'll be ready to start sawing, sanding and smoothing!

VOX V847 and Dunlop Cry Baby Mod Service!
We can modify the following pedals:
Vox- V847 (Old Standard Vox) V847-A (New Standard Vox) V845 V848 (Clyde McCoy)
Dunlop- GCB-95 (Standard Cry Baby) Hendrix JH1 or JH1-B Zakk Wylde Jerry Cantrell
*Sorry, we do not mod the 535Q, GCB95F (Crybaby Classic), Dimebag Darrell Crybaby From Hell, Slash Wah, Hendrix Fuzz Wah, Mr. Crybaby Vol./Wah, Rackmount Crybaby (DCR-2SR), or 95Q ("switchless" Crybaby) Wah pedals.
We can perform the following mods:
True Bypass
Wah pedals are notorious "tone suckers." When your wah is not on but still plugged into your amp or pedal chain, your guitar's signal still has to pass through the circuitry of the wah.This robs tone quality...especially the high frequency range. True bypass eliminates tone sucking!
We replace your old footswitch with a 3PDT.This allows us to rewire your wah in a way that allows the sound to travel around the circuitry. Your guitar's signal will now go into the input of your wah and straight out the output jack to your amp, or next effect pedal.
Sweep Mod Improves the EQ of the sweep. Makes it sound less less thin and "trebly."
Vocal Mod Adds more vocal quality, makes it sound more like it wants to talk.
Volume Boost Mod Did you ever notice your volume level drops slightly when you swich to the wah effect?
Not anymore! This mod brings up the volume level of the wah effect to match the same sound level as your clean sound.
Gain and Bass Response Mod Adds a little gain and bass, gives it a little growl.
Midrange Mod Increase the mids and helps smooth out the response between bass and treble.
Volume Pedal Mod We have replaced our toggle switch with a soft touch push button switch. You push the button to use your wah a s a volume pedal, push it again to go back to wah. Use your finger, or the side of your foot if you like. You can control volume while keeping your hands free!
*This mod works off of the same pot as the wah, and it does not start out at 0 volume. You start out with some volume.
Use this effect for swells, to set your volume level, or as a clean boost.
LED Mod Is this thing on? We can add an ultra clear/blue Led to your wah.
Choose any three of these mods for $58. Choose aditional mods for $10 each, or...
Just get "The Works" for $78. Includes all mods! That's true bypass, five circuit mods, volume pedal mod, and an added LED!
*If you want to replace your inductor, or your potentiometer (pot), just send those along with your pedal.
If you are getting "The Works" we will replace these items for you at no extra charge. This means free labor, not free parts. You can send the parts with your pedal, or just ask ahead of time if you would like for us to order these parts for you.

If you're like me, you assumed that the craziest amount of money to be handed out on July 1st would be handed out to Jason Garrison, if he did indeed sign on Canada Day. And Garrison did, and I was worried that his cap hit would be north of $6M, perhaps even reaching $6.5M.
Reading to a few armchair commentators who don't get routinely get involved with player analysis, you'd think that Jason Garrison was flash-in-the-pan, a player who scored 16 goals last season, will be a career season and he'll fade away into obscurity.
But Garrison at a price below $5M is an excellent deal for a player who has put up two solid defensive seasons. As noted by Jonathan Willis last season when this blog was still known as 'Houses of the Hockey':
There's more to those heavy minutes than simple ice-time. Of the Panthers' six regular defenders, four broke just about even in terms of starting in the offensive versus the defensive zone – the exceptions were Weaver and Garrison, who started in their own end 60.0% of the time. Not only did they take on a ton of defensive minutes, but they did it against the best players – Garrison and Weaver finished first in both Quality of Competition and Relative Corsi Quality of Competition.
Despite that, no pairing in Florida was less likely to be scored on than Weaver and Garrison – they averaged around 2.00 goals against per 60 minutes of even-strength ice-time. They were outshot by a slight margin, but given the minutes they were playing that's an accomplishment, not a criticism.
I don't believe that his new club will expect him to score 16 goals this season. Nobody does, and the people who appear to be criticizing this signing for the Vancouver Canucks are doing so off a mis-understanding of what they think the Vancouver Canucks see in him.
The money handed out on July 1st was actually surprisingly rational, with much of my own personal criticism more on the end of some of the four-year terms given out to entirely replaceable fourth line, role players such as Adam Burish, Brandon Prust or Paul Gaustad.
P-A Parenteau, who is a good winger with some good underlying numbers, but who isn't a world-beater, was probably the third best forward on the UFA market, but his price was kept to a remarkably reasonable $16M over four seasons.
Some teams found certain value for hockey players. David Moss, a player who, despite a high Corsi Rel QoC and low zone starts, led his Calgary Flames in Corsi last season, signed for two years in Phoenix for $2.1M per season, due to some persistent injuries. Healthy and in the lineup, he represents a good value buy that Phoenix needs to make to compete.
Jay McClement, one of the better checking centremen in the group, signed at $1.5M per year over two seasons in Toronto. Brad Boyes, a former 40-goal scorer who still has breakout scoring potential, signed for just $1M in Long Island. Up and down TSN's "Sortable UFA Tracker" which is a very handy tool, there are few deals that scream "July 1st" the way that Ville Leino and Joel Ward's large contracts did last summer.
Two defencemen who saw some success in tight minutes, Mike Lundin and Dylan Reese, also went on July 1st to Ottawa and Pittsburgh, respectively, neither signing gaining much notice or scrutiny. Lundin signed for a year at $1.15M and Reese probably signed at a lower cap hit, but both represent some good value.
With the exception of the Prust and Filip Kuba contracts, there weren't any overpays on July 1st. A couple of term lengths ran amok. Overall, NHL GMs were quite restrained, even when signing major players like Garrison and Parenteau, and they ought to be commended for their judgment yesterday.
Some teams made some good moves.

So I'll be spending Christmas very, very far back in the closet. Yup, it's Holidays at the W's, with conservative talk carols playing and Republicans gleaming beneath the Christmas tree.
Apparently I can't safely come out to anyone on the W side. Except Aunt L & Uncle R, but they're only 2/13 of the family. Grandma & Grandpa are conservative republican Polish Roman Catholics & the rest of the family is Jewish, Christian or my parents (who told me not to tell anyone). I would consider coming out to my cousin, but if she's a homophobe then sharing a room could be awkward.....
Today in Bio while Ru & I were filling out questionnaires, I listened in to a few conversations. Here they are:
Redhead: Hey, so you know my friend___?
Tall Dude: Yeah.
Redhead: Well, we have this friend,___, & she's gay--no, BISEXUAL.
Boys: Hehehehe-huhuhuh. Chortle.
Redhead: I don't think I need to tell you the rest...
Boys: Hehehehehe. Snort.
Then, at the front of the room...
Nohawk: Dude, give that back. You're such a homo.
Fauxhawk: (Shove)
Nohawk: Don't be faggy.
Mohawk: Dude, don't call me that!!!!!!!!
Nohawk: Oh, dude, sorry....hehe.
People are disgusting sometimes. I stopped speaking to my only at-school friend when she called someone a faggot. Her response to my admonitions was "it means a bundle of sticks in England," then "I only said it once--I didn't mean it that way--" Sorry. If your first instinct is to call people names (the boy accidentally knocked into her) and that's the first one that comes to mind, better to be alone.
I know how it feels, being surrounded by narrow-minded Republican family members for the holidays. The best you can hope for is that anything moral or political won't come into any conversations and you can just enjoy their company.
What would be unsafe about coming out to them? Uncomfortable, perhaps, but you really think your safety is in jeopardy? Unlikely.
If they are already right-wing, religious, and anti-gay, doesn't sound like they need any help from you, and that you could only move their thinking in one direction, no?
Also, if you're sharing a room with a homophobe, wouldn't your coming out shift the uncomfortableness and make it her problem?
If your options boil down to I'm uncomfortable or everyone's uncomfortable, I'd remind you that the holidays are all about sharing...
And if it goes really poorly, you could spend next Christmas elsewhere.
But a lot of people are anti-gay only until they know someone LGBT. Then it stops being about some "other" that they don't know and can easily judge and condemn. You know, like Jesus commands...
Hey, Sexy Lady! Oppan Gangnam Style...
My inheritance is what would be in jeopardy, actually. ;)
BUt I guess the problem is that I look up to my cousin & can't stand the thought of her being disgusted by me.
You're right about the whole sharing thing, of course, but I get the feeling my parents wouldn't appreciate that too much. The only advice my mom gave me when I came out was "Don't come out to your grandparents, and don't come out to your friends until you're dating a girl."
The ducks will get you!
That's a different story, if you're choosing between honesty and a pile of money.
I don't think there is a huge difference between thinking she would be disgusted by you if she knew the truth and her actually being disgusted by you because she knows the truth. You're already living in that reality either way now.
Your parents don't really have a say in what you do in your life anymore. They've told you lots of things you shouldn't do that you've likely done. But their word is impossible to challenge gospel now? Just because they are saying something you're uncomfortable doing anyway?
Being closeted is fine, but it comes down to you making that decision for yourself. So, forget all this other nonsense, and just own what is your decision. Thousands of people before you with right-wing families have come out to them. This isn't some unique situation.

Hebrew Names Version (HNV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 My brothers, don't hold the faith of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons. | 1 My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don't show favoritism. |
2 For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your assembly, and there come in also a poor man in filthy clothing; | 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. |
3 and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;" | 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, "Here's a good seat for you," but say to the poor man, "You stand there" or "Sit on the floor by my feet," |
4 haven't you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? | 4 have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? |
5 Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn't God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him? | 5 Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? |
6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Don't the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts? | 6 But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? |
7 Don't they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called? | 7 Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong? |
8 However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well. | 8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right. |
9 But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors. | 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. |
10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all. | 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. |
11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. | 11 For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder." If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker. |
12 So speak, and so do, as men who are to be judged by a law of freedom. | 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, |
13 For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. | 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment! |
14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man says he has faith, but has no works? Can that faith save him? | 14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? |
15 And if a brother or sister is naked and in lack of daily food, | 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. |
16 and one of you tells them, "Go in shalom, be warmed and filled;" and yet you didn't give them the things the body needs, what good is it? | 16 If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? |
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead in itself. | 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. |
18 Yes, a man will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. | 18 But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do. |
19 You believe that God is one. You do well. The demons also believe, and shudder. | 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder. |
20 But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead? | 20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless ? |
21 Wasn't Avraham, our father, justified by works, in that he offered up Yitzchak his son on the altar? | 21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? |
22 You see that faith worked with his works, and by works faith was perfected; | 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. |
23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Avraham believed God, and it was accounted to him as righteousness;" and he was called the friend of God. | 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. |
24 You see then that by works, a man is justified, and not only by faith. | 24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone. |
25 In like manner wasn't Rachav the prostitute also justified by works, in that she received the messengers, and sent them out another way? | 25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? |
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead. | 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. |
