"Worked on" is the operative phrase. Although Madison, 41, certainly makes the rounds of the music scene, she's neither a list-keeping backstage belle nor a D-Town version of the notorious woman who once made plaster casts of rockers' genitalia. Rather, she is the Mile High City's rock-and-roll masseuse--and when she says "worked on," she means business. She understands that the expression can lead to some confusion, but she has yet to find a better alternative. As she points out, "It's better than saying I 'did' them."
Madison has been providing sweet relief for the cramped, crooked and road-worn musicians who blow through town since 1990, and while she's quick to state that her manipulations are legitimate and aboveboard, she also admits that she's not entirely immune to star worship. "This is a groupie sort of thing," she confesses with a girlish laugh and a smile. "It's a way for me to meet people, contribute to the music community and, in a way, thank them for the music they put out that I enjoy so much."
A native of Golden, Madison originally followed a completely different career path than the one she's on now. She learned how to pilot hot-air balloons in her hometown and in 1982 landed a job plying the craft in California. That lofty profession led to a position in the special-effects end of the film industry. But while she and her boyfriend were contributing to Dune, director David Lynch's version of novelist Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic, he suffered a back injury. During his recovery period, Madison got a firsthand look at the world of physical therapy and decided the field was for her. She subsequently enrolled at the University of Boston to pursue a master's degree in physical therapy. (She had earlier earned a bachelor's degree in geography at the University of Colorado.) Her master's thesis, which focused on injuries among bass players and percussionists at Boston's Berklee School of Music, allowed her to combine her love for the performing arts with her newfound vocation.
After graduating in 1988, Madison spent two years as a traveling physical-therapy practitioner before returning to Denver and starting a business, dubbed "The Hip Joint," that offered health care to constituents of Denver's arts community--a demographic that Madison felt was in need of attention. "Sports medicine is a real specialized field," she says. "There are people who know about sports and understand the things that make the difference between a really fine player and just an okay player. But there isn't that kind of attention paid in the medical field to musicians. It's like, 'It hurts when I do this,' and the doctor says, 'Stop doing that.' Nobody tells a basketball player to stop playing if it hurts to play basketball, but they'll tell a musician that. So I felt it was important to get a different focus. Someone who appreciates sports should work with sports people; someone who appreciates musicians should work with musicians."
After opening her office, Madison went on to found the Colorado Arts Medicine Organization (CAMEO), a cooperative of orthopedic doctors, psychologists and other health practitioners aimed at helping performing artists in the Denver area. Shortly thereafter, she took her trade to the clubs. David Wilcox, a performer she admires, was set to play the Gothic Theatre, so Madison approached Doug Kauffman of nobody in particular presents, who owned the currently shuttered venue at the time. "I told him, 'I'm a physical therapist, and I'd like to offer my services backstage to your performers,'" she recalls. Once Kauffman took her up on her proposal, she was off and rubbing. "I introduced myself to David--he was playing with Christine Lavin, Patty Larkin and John Gorka--and it was great. They were all really receptive to it. I got to work on all of them, and I got to spend the whole evening backstage with them. It was really fun. It was like, 'Cool. This is it--this is what I've been wanting to do, and now I'm doing it.'"
Although her CAMEO organization folded in 1996, Madison's other enterprises have boomed. Today her daytime clientele consists primarily of home-bound senior citizens and patients with debilitating or terminal illnesses, and although she finds helping such people fulfilling, she's glad that she balances these toils with her nocturnal pursuits. "It's fun for me to do, especially when I work with eighty-year-olds all day. It's really good for me to get that other side. Being around that much death and people who are on their way out can get to you, so you have to have things on the side that remind you how great life is and that there's a lot to live for."
Sitting at the dining-room table of her Capitol Hill home, Madison opens an autograph book that attests to the success she's had with her part-time gig. Each inscription lauds her hands-on ministry, with words of praise from a dozens of indie acts or up-and-comers, including Superchunk, the Beat Farmers, Spacehog, Seven Mary Three, the Gin Blossoms, Crash Test Dummies, Liz Phair and Wilco. Also present are larger names--Lyle Lovett, Alanis Morrisette, the Ramones--who bestow glowing testimonials: "Great hands." "Wow, I feel delicious." "The heavens opened." Cracker member Johnny Hickman enthuses, "You have rocked my world and fixed me," while one of the Iguanas provides an even more revealing insight into Madison's talents, writing, "Thank you so much, it's so nice to have such a loving touch so far from home." Notes Madison, "People out on the road don't get much physical contact, especially if they're married. So this is a nice, warming physical contact that they don't have to feel guilty about."

Hello all, Even though this article is a about a year and a half old, I would like to add my two cents to say that I have recently decided to cancel my trip to NL because of the cost of the ferry. It would cost about $600 to transport my car plus two passengers. I have decided to cut my trip short at Halifax and spend more time in PEI to save money. I estimate that I would have spend about $600 - $1000 during my week long stay had I been in NL. I think NL needs to reconsider the ferry prices if it wants to attract more visitors from the mainland.

Old article, however I just calculated the cost to take our 38 foot motorhome with car in tow to Newfoundland and back with our group of nine adults and kids at $3400. OUCH!!! Last summers trip to New Orleans from Ottawa and back with side trips and gas for the mini van was under $2000. I guess we will go to Chicago instead.

If you are not working in the Oil Industry, you have to question why we are living here. It is far too expensive for retired fixed incomeers, civil servants and minimum wage workers. We should all take one last trip on Marine Atlantic and move to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or PEI. GOOD-BYE Newfoundland.

Two weeks ago, we made what may well be our last trip on the ferry between the mainland and Newfoundland. We have been making the trip once and sometimes twice a year since 1998. The service is unreliable and the price is way out of line. What with the latest fare increase, it is actually cheaper to fly to St. John's from our home in Florida.

Kasbah Textured Metal Stools from Artisanti
Give your home a taste of the exotic with these Kasbah Textured Metal Stools from Artisanti, £204.
Although ethnic interiors aren't really my thing, it's nice to inject a touch of the exotic into your home now and again.
I was more than happy to stumble across these Kasbah Textured Metal Stools from Artisanti which add just the right amount of Moroccan-style chic without being too over the top.
Great for additional seating, these stools can also be used as side tables but, best of all, have a hidden secret.
Simply turn them over and you'll discover that they're hollow, which means they can also be used as decorative planters. Genius!

Gwaltney had long dreamed of staging a Civil War reenactment with only black soldiers, and the success of the mock abolition rally convinced him to pursue it. In July 1988, at a Gettysburg reenactment held in honor of the battle's 125th anniversary, Gwaltney told some actors about his idea. A few days later, when Gwaltney was back at his office in the basement of the Frederick Douglass house, the phone rang. He remembers the voice on the other end saying, "'You don't know us, but we know you. We're calling from Hollywood, and we're doing a movie on the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. We want you to recruit and train some of the actors and play the first sergeant in the movie.'
"I said, 'Yeah, right,'" Gwaltney recalls. "But I checked him out, and he was for real."
Some Hollywood agents had attended the Gettysburg reenactment and heard about Gwaltney there; the movie they were planning to produce was Glory. Desperate to find the brigade of black actors Tri Star pictures needed, Gwaltney appeared on Washington, D.C., and Howard University radio and television shows and blanketed the city with posters seeking young black men interested in learning how to be Civil War soldiers. While other recruiters rounded up actors in Maine, Arkansas and South Carolina, Gwaltney enlisted 43 men from Washington and other mid-Atlantic cities. For the next ten weeks, they practiced military drills in public parks.
Most of the volunteers told Gwaltney they'd never felt welcome in national parks; the stories of black men who had fought for the Union Army had long been ignored. "When they went to Civil War battlefields, they said they felt like they were sneaking in. No one asked them what they were doing or told them to leave, but they felt like they didn't belong there. At the battlefields, visitors can walk around and see cannons, markers indicating where the regiments fought and displays of uniforms and weapons," Gwaltney explains. "But there was no discussion at those parks about how the Civil War came to be. These men felt like the Civil War had nothing to do with them, even though they knew their story was a big part of the Civil War.
"I made it my goal then to make sure people of color would feel the parks belonged to them," Gwaltney says.
Even before that, he was driven to tell history's whole story. Gwaltney was raised in D.C. by schoolteacher parents who worked during the summers so Gwaltney and his younger brother could attend parochial school. They took their sons to national parks, monuments and civil-rights marches. When he wasn't studying or visiting historical sites, Gwaltney was riding horses, swimming, playing soccer or taking karate lessons. He admits his upbringing was different from that of most inner-city kids: He had what a lot of black children didn't.
"I call it 'social permission,'" says Gwaltney, 43. "By taking us places, my parents said, if not out loud, 'This is a place where you belong. You can go to parks and exhibits and museums.' But a lot of black kids don't have the social permission to go to those places. If everyone in your neighborhood plays basketball and you want to go backpacking, you've got to go out and buy a backpack and go somewhere you haven't gone before."
Even though his parents enrolled him in sports, it was the time Gwaltney spent in the Boy Scouts that ultimately determined his career. Gwaltney remembers his scoutmaster, Phillip DeWees, a black man in charge of a troop that was half black and half white. During his first summer at Boy Scout camp, when he was eleven years old, Gwaltney's teenage patrol leader did something Gwaltney didn't approve of, and Gwaltney let out a string of epithets.
DeWees chided him for cursing and asked Gwaltney if he thought he could do a better job than his patrol leader. When Gwaltney answered in the affirmative, DeWees turned over the job to him. That moment made a lasting impression -- it was Gwaltney's first taste of leadership. Five years later, Gwaltney returned to the summer camp as a counselor, then came back for the next seven years to teach archery, lead nature studies and develop programs for a history theme camp. When he left the Boy Scouts, he was a camp director overseeing sixty employees.
He credits his grandfather with igniting his passion for history. "My grandfather was born in the nineteenth century, and I was so taken with that that I pumped him for information. He lived from the time of the horse and buggy to the man on the moon," Gwaltney says.
In preparation for being a better outdoorsman, Gwaltney read everything he could on the history of the fur trade and the American Indians' role in it. His obsession was further fed by the John Wayne movies he watched on his grandfather's round-screen black-and-white television. After the films, he ate ice cream in the kitchen while his grandfather told him about Benjamin Davis Sr., an ancestor who was the first black general in the U.S. Army. After the Civil War, Davis served in the West, as did John Anderson, another relative who had been a member of all four black Civil War regiments. Hearing the stories, Gwaltney became fascinated with the role of black people in the American West.

I've had quite a few X-rays done in my life (I was a kid once, you know) and I always wondered what happens with the pictures after the doctor is finished with them. My obvious conclusion was that they go into my file.
Now I think they'll be sent on over to Anastacia Spada to be made into X-ray umbrellas. These carefully made umbrellas rock a seriously unique design (they are pictures of human bones) that is sure to grab a little extra attention.
I'm curious as to how they handle the rain?

Pirates Trade Brian Jeroloman to the Nationals
Rob Biertempfel reports that Brian Jeroloman has been traded to the Washington Nationals.
The Pirates claimed Jeroloman in late 2011 from Toronto, then lost him a month later on waivers to Toronto. They added him in a minor trade before the season to add depth in Triple-A. It will probably only be a matter of time before he's back again.

Although this facial moisturizer has a great price and unusually generous size, its formula is a big step backward. In many ways, moisturizers don't get more dated than this. Instead of a sophisitcated mix of repairing ingredients and antioxidants, you're left with mostly water, mineral oil, and slip agents. OK, but not great and your skin deserves great!The tiny amounts of collagen and elastin in this moisturizer won't provide timeless results. Neither ingredient can fuse with or shore up these supportive substances in skin, even when they're used in greater amounts.
Normally we'd comment on the jar packaging being a problem for the light- and air-sensitive ingredients, but in this case the formula is so bare bones the packaging is mostly a hygiene issue. This moisturizer does contain a small amount of fragrance ingredients known to cause irritation.
This moisturizer, with collagen & elastin proteins, hydrates for visibly softer, smoother skin.
Water (Aqua/Eau), Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum) (Paraffinum Liquidum, Huil Minerale), Propylene Glycol, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Stearic Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed OiI (Safflower), Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Dimethicone, Cetyl Alcohol, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance (Parfum), Ethylhexl Glycerin, Linalool, Hexylcinnamal, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Coumarin, Geraniol
Two things set this line apart in the minds of consumers familiar with the brand: the Swiss angle and their apricot face scrubs. This notoriety didn't translate to thoughtfully formulated products, though. Instead, most of the scrubs are too abrasive, and the apricot is simply there as an extract, never mind that in a scrub it doesn't have any significant benefit for skin. The same can be said of the selection of supposedly Swiss-based herbs. Most of them have soothing properties, but it doesn't matter to skin if the ingredients came from Switzerland or South Dakota. If anything, the whole Swiss angle is getting a bit tired. You can bet that there are no scientists working high in the Swiss alps to formulate these products. St. Ives is a line with very little worth considering, so feel free to breeze right by as you shop for skin-care products at your local drugstore.

My name is Smokie!
Facts about Smokie
- Breed: Shih Tzu Mix
- Color: Gray/Blue/Silver/Salt & Pepper
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Smokie's Info...

Other Pets at Ruff Rehab Inc - Pompton Lakes Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Smokie, a Pompton lakes Shih Tzu dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu for sale in Pompton lakes, or seeking a Shih Tzu dog from a breeder in Pompton lakes.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pompton lakes already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Pompton lakes breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu breeders who help with Shih Tzu rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pompton lakes paves the way for another one to be saved.

i think thats wise Alistair, likewise Rocker should do the same. better to do low intensity for a couple of months and start the new season fighting fit than to keep going and risk more problems that may drag you down all of next year.
HI Alistair, would you run that race again next year?
Sounds like you are well on your way to becoming a 100 Marathon club member I am must admitt that I intend to enter more marathons next year as training runs with the intent of getting into that club
Hope you can get back to enjoying your runs soon. Maybe try some long bike rides?
Tim - not sure about next year, will definitely be back just not sure when. Looking at a social marathon (that was the deal with Snowdonia more about the company and after event party than the racing) now, first three entries on list are Kielder, Snowdonia, Glencoe and Coniston Trail (said I woudn't go back but having run and loved the first two I am loath not to run it every year - more 100 marathon runner behaviour I fear) i was going to circulate the list we put together to see what suggestion you and Phil have and to see what fits your calendars too.
I was thinking as I typed that earlier post I should start the spreadsheet to record marathons completed and when I get to 48 spend the next 52 weeks finishing it off!
I am enjoying running just not racing, simply because I have been in decline since April / May. Should definitely bike some, I bought a decent carbon road bike 18 months ago and have used it 3 times (all in the first fortnight) super shoddy really.
I am planning an 8 week, metabolic efficiency training cycle starting from Tuesday so will be keeping the intensity really low and am hoping I can rehabilitate whatever it is that is wrong with my hamstrings during this (need to see physio, I think it is a form of sciatica opposed to any damage, what is a bit of a nightmare is that driving really seems to aggravate things and I do 700+ miles of driving a week)
Jason D - Thanks go to you without your mentions of it wouldn't have thought to run it, you should be on commission. Awesome race, made all the better by putting a few faces to names and or pseudonyms. Definitely struck gold with the weather!
So, reports from others who completed Beachy Head? Come on, I know I wasn't the only one... A club member who stayed overnight says there was no wind on Sunday morning...
Alistair, well done with Snowdonia.
Alistair...well done on Snod,watched it on TV last night,Looks very senic,but a bit to much road for me. Any way hope the hamstrings improve soon.How are you fixed for a bike ride this weekend , I promise not to kill you.
ALISTAIR STEWART 4 wrote (see)
Alistair - Well done at Snod!... What is that ^^^?
WIB - This Podcast will explain it much better than I can:
In essence an active approach to improving fat adaption, using both diet and low intensity excercise.
Ah ok, cheers Alistair. Will have a listen Already have a pretty low carb/high fat & protein diet but want to improve it over the winter.
Currently reading "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance" so it could fit in nicely
Interesting - i'll have a read up as well. I'm currently reading Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald which is really making me think, and evaluate as part of my winter of improvement...
Ah, weight is the other thing. I have lost weight before but I had to reduce the amount I was eating to do it (surprise surprise). Cutting out carbohydrate has so far seen me drop 2kg without actually starving myself to do it! Infact, this time I had not had the intention of any weight loss I just wanted to try a new eating approach.
2kg????? im not sure this cutting out food n stuff is a good thing!
I'm not specifically looking to lose weight per se: according to what i've read so far my optimum racing weight should be 10st, which is only just over half a stone from where I am now, but I should only be aiming to hit that mark in the same way that I aim to hit my peak of training on race day, and then allow myself leeway of up to 8% in off season etc. I'm still reading, and still learning. One of the main things I need to do is improve my diet, but cooking for one does get tedious...hence taking the easier options sometimes (no, NOT Pot Noodle!!). I also need to cut down on "treats", or replace them with healthier options. If I improve my fuelling then I should hopefully be able to improve my training, and my performance.
DAYTREKKER - Love to go for a bike ride buddy, let me know when and i'll put some air in the tyres of my poor neglected bike.
Jason - bought myself some scales on Saturday as well - fancy ones that use very clever electrickery to tell me lots!
Body fat is 20.4% - first target is 16.6%, followed by ultimate target of 13.9%
Low 10%!!! mighty lean there my friend, well done you!

Stealing land - Con artists transfer titles without the knowledge of the owner
Published: Sunday | January 25, 2009
LOCAL CON ARTISTS have turned their attention to land titles, ripping off legitimate landowners of millions of dollars.
Last year, fraudulent land transfers reported to the police totalled just over $85 million.
These involved cases where tricksters used forged documents to transfer property titles and then used these titles as collateral for loans or sold the properties without the knowledge of the legal owner.
Sixteen of these cases were reported to the police in 2008 and so far, two persons have been arrested.
In one instance in Ocho Rios, St Ann, the title for a parcel of land valued at more than $100 million, was allegedly fraudulently transferred by the operator of a paralegal service.
A 'gift'
The land, situated in Mango Valley, was put in the name of another person who said he had been given it as a gift before selling it for $5 million.
The police say it was when the real owner of the land saw persons occupying the premises that the fraud was discovered. The new tenants told investigators that they had leased the land, an arrangement about which the legal owner knew nothing.
Head of the police Fraud Squad, Superintendent Colbert Edwards, told The Sunday Gleaner that there were several similar cases, but investigations into these incidents were not yet completed.
"If the owner of the land has no reason to check on the property or title, they would not know of the problem," Edwards remarked.
The issue of land fraud was moved to the front pages last year when The Gleaner reported the alleged illegal transfer of a property belonging to Noel Strachan, the chief executive officer of the troubled alternative investment scheme, World Wise Partners.
Property seized
It was alleged that the property was seized and illegally transferred by a businessman after several unsuccessful attempts to collect almost $150 million he had invested in World Wise.
While that case was still being investigated, the National Land Agency rejected blame for what appears to be a growing problem where properties were transferred without the knowledge of the owners.
"As far as we are concerned, a registrable instrument of transfer has to be executed by all the persons on the title and stamped by the Stamp Office before the transfer is registered," Joan Walker, senior deputy registrar of titles told The Gleaner then.
"We take precautions to ensure that all documents that are lodged are properly executed. They have to be witnessed by a lawyer or a justice of the peace or other persons specified under Section 152 of the Registration of Titles Act," Walker added.

Had a great time at the Disney Store today! Not only were my DW and I the first 2 in line, but the store manager gave us a limited edition D23 2 foot tall Minnie Mouse Plush as a door prize! They had some great trivia questions on the monitors that everyone was enjoying! Even had the distinct honor of being asked as a "Disney Trivia Guru" (their words, not mine )to confirm the correct answer to a question that no one knew the answer to - What was Syd's job in Toy Story 3? Easy - Garbage Collector! They were nice enough to give me a fun 25th Anniversary button!
What a blast! So glad that we went!

The Webster Bible (WBT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will [God] appoint [for] walls and bulwarks. | 1 In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts. |
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. | 2 Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith. |
3 Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]: because he trusteth in thee. | 3 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. |
4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH [is] everlasting strength: | 4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal. |
5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, [even] to the ground; he bringeth it [even] to the dust. | 5 He humbles those who dwell on high, he lays the lofty city low; he levels it to the ground and casts it down to the dust. |
6 The foot shall tread it down, [even] the feet of the poor, [and] the steps of the needy. | 6 Feet trample it down-- the feet of the oppressed, the footsteps of the poor. |
7 The way of the just [is] uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. | 7 The path of the righteous is level; O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth. |
8 Yes, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of [our] soul [is] to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. | 8 Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. |
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments [are] in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. | 9 My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. |
10 Let favor be shown to the wicked, [yet] he will not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. | 10 Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and regard not the majesty of the LORD. |
11 LORD, [when] thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: [but] they shall see, and be ashamed for [their] envy at the people; yes, the fire of thy enemies shall devour them. | 11 O LORD, your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame; let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them. |
12 LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. | 12 LORD, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us. |
13 O LORD our God, [other] lords beside thee have had dominion over us; [but] by thee only will we make mention of thy name. | 13 O LORD, our God, other lords besides you have ruled over us, but your name alone do we honor. |
14 [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. | 14 They are now dead, they live no more; those departed spirits do not rise. You punished them and brought them to ruin; you wiped out all memory of them. |
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified: thou hadst removed [it] far to all the ends of the earth. | 15 You have enlarged the nation, O LORD; you have enlarged the nation. You have gained glory for yourself; you have extended all the borders of the land. |
16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening [was] upon them. | 16 LORD, they came to you in their distress; when you disciplined them, they could barely whisper a prayer. |
17 As a woman with child, [that] draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, [and] crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD. | 17 As a woman with child and about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain, so were we in your presence, O LORD. |
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance on the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen. | 18 We were with child, we writhed in pain, but we gave birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth; we have not given birth to people of the world. |
19 Thy dead [men] shall live, [together with] my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew [is as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. | 19 But your dead will live; their bodies will rise. You who dwell in the dust, wake up and shout for joy. Your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead. |
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee; hide thyself as it were for a little moment until the indignation shall be overpast. | 20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until his wrath has passed by. |
21 For behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. | 21 See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer. |

"Volunteering at the Camp is like joining a dynamic, creative and enthusiastic family where every bit of energy and love you devote is paid back to you ten fold. I get excited just driving through the gates..." - A Volunteer
Volunteers at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp do more than just provide labor. They are an integral part of the Camp's philosophy. Many people who very much want to serve our kids find it impossible to devote an entire summer to us. The Summer Volunteer Program provides a mechanism for that service (minimum age -19 years old).
While most of the Camp staff members are college age, the Summer Volunteer Program is one source of diversity of age and background for our staff, since some children respond more readily to people in their middle or senior years. Second, the volunteers bring in fresh new energy and ideas. The Summer Volunteer Program is also a trial ground for new talent. Some of the staff in any given year were volunteers in the past.
Most important of all, the Camp's volunteers are a major route for accountability. The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is a private agency but it does enjoy the special status granted to charities. We accept food donations from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and allow contributions to be written off donors' tax returns. Although we are private in the way we spend funds, we are very public in our fund raising. Virtually all of our operations money comes from the public at large through gifts and donations. We exist to serve the children of the public.
The public has a legitimate interest in how we conduct ourselves but serving that interest must be balanced with the children's right to privacy. In compliance with HIPAA regulations and out of respect for the privacy of our children and their families, we simply do not allow the general public to visit the Camp while we have campers there. Volunteers, however, are intimately connected with us and see our operation from every angle. Their participation is one means by which we demonstrate our good will to the public at large.

DENVER — Patrick Sharp will miss three to four weeks with an apparent left shoulder injury, and the ripple effect will be felt by three of the Blackhawks' four lines.
Sharp was replaced by Bryan Bickell on the second line, alongside Dave Bolland and Patrick Kane. While Kane welcomed the physical presence and strong shot Bickell brings, he's obviously wary of disrupting the chemistry that has helped the Hawks reach the halfway point without a regulation loss.
Kane is playing arguably the best hockey of his career, so the last thing he wants to do is break in a new linemate.
"For sure," Kane said. "You've played with the same linemates for 24 games now, half the season, and you really get used to playing with someone. I think it'll be a little bit of an adjustment. We'll see what happens. Sometimes it's good to play with new players, but obviously we're going to miss Sharp — he's been a big part of our lineup for a long time here, and he plays a lot of minutes. Someone's going to have to step up and fill that void, which won't be that easy, I guess."
Bickell's promotion also breaks up the checking line that had been so effective of late. Bickell, Andrew Shaw or Viktor Stalberg had scored in seven of the last eight games (Bickell has three goals in his last four games). Hawks coach Joel Quenneville would rather have kept that trio together, but as he put it, "Somebody's got to move there."
Bickell and Bolland have played together before, and Quenneville was pleased with how Bickell performed in that spot after Sharp was sandwiched along the boards by Colorado's Ryan O'Byrne midway through the third period of Wednesday's game at the United Center.
Daniel Carcillo will move up from the fourth line to the third line to replace Bickell.
"We adapt," Shaw said. "We're a great team. Everyone can play with everyone. Guys are going to try to fill that role."
Marian Hossa said that while Sharp will be missed, it's an opportunity for other players to step into bigger roles. And he's not worried that the consistency and chemistry will suddenly disappear without Sharp.
"We try not to think about it that way," Hossa said. "Obviously, we know this is part of the game — injuries [are] going to happen. We just have to find a way to win hockey games without our top players."

Grocery Delivery Lowers Carbon Dioxide Emissions Over Individual Trips
Unknown Lamer posted about 2 years ago | from the can't-beat-bicycles dept.
417vinces99 writes "Those trips to the store can take a chunk out of your day and put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But now University of Washington engineers have found that using a grocery delivery service can cut carbon dioxide emissions by at least half when compared with individual household trips to the store. Trucks filled to capacity that deliver to customers clustered in neighborhoods produced the most savings in carbon dioxide emissions, but there are even benefits with delivery to rural areas."

Having devoted two weeks to the education of the highly-gifted, let's turn our attention to improving STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education for children who are not part of the intellectual 1 percent.
After all, we have entered an age in which math and science will be extremely important, both in the world of work and in the arena of citizenship.
In modern manufacturing, higher math skills – even a knowledge of the calculus – are becoming important for high-paying jobs.
In an economy which will feature fewer permanent jobs and more entrepreneurialism and self-employment, bookkeeping and accounting have become essential skills for millions.
In a world in which personal health is affected by thousands of environmental factors – and the very climate of our planet is being altered in unpredictable ways by the cumulative impact of human activity – understanding science is essential to responsible citizenship.
In short, our children must all grow into adults who are comfortable with math, science and technology if they are not to be hopelessly irrelevant, nearly unemployable, and generally cut off from the world now opening before them.
What might we – here in Chesterfield – do to improve the quality of STEM education for our kids?
One step would be greatly to increase our commitment to adult education.
If educational researchers agree on one thing, it is this: Children who grow up in families where the adults are well-educated, and actively involved in their children's education, have enormous advantages in school, and in later life.
These advantages are most apparent in two crucial areas: reading and math.
I have long urged that our public school system develop ways of assuring that all children enter kindergarten ready to read. Unlike President Obama and former Governor Kaine, I'm not sure that that means adding yet another year of public schooling – mandatory pre-K for all four-year-olds.
For one thing, a four-year-old who hasn't grown up with adults who know how to teach reading readiness, and model reading behavior, is already, at the age of four, well behind the children of better-educated parents.
Our schools should identify two-year-olds who are likely to be educationally disadvantaged. Based on that, we should develop programs to educate adults – parents, grandparents, neighbors, church and community groups, individual volunteers – in a position to help very young children get ready to read.
Similarly, Chesterfield's schools should develop voluntary programs for parents and others, including teen tutors and adult volunteers, willing to assist students preparing to tackle complex math and science topics.
Developing such a program would not necessarily involve re-teaching algebra or physics to every parent in Chesterfield County. In the internet age, there are countless resources, many of them free, which adults can access on their own. What the schools must do is to encourage parents to make use of these resources, and help them identify those most likely to be helpful.
If we became truly aggressive – and we should – we could work with our county libraries and community colleges to create programs for parents who need to know "just enough" to help their students with high school math and science.
We could also create volunteer tutorial programs, perhaps using retired teachers, to coach parents having specific questions and problems.
The idea is to empower parents to help their own children with subjects they have largely forgotten.
Merely by establishing a program for the parents of kids starting one subject – algebra – we could make an enormous difference in success rates. And that would take a great strain off our schools – both in the classroom and in dealing with the consequences of academic frustration.
Chesterfield should also look into making far greater use of summertime, when our school buildings sit idle and many teachers are looking for short-term employment.
For some reason, we insist on charging tuition for what few summer-school offerings we have. This should end. Summer-school should become a regular part of our educational program, with special courses adapted to the needs of students and the season's outdoor opportunities.
For students who find mathematics challenging, we should create optional courses which begin in August and roll right into the regular year. By spending several hours a day, for several weeks in August, on one challenging subject, students could begin the regular term with an enormous head start.
Summer is also a great time to teach something our science curriculum is often lacking – the importance of observation. In biology, students could be encouraged to get their noses out of books and laptops by taking special, outdoor-oriented courses geared to observing wildlife or cultivating plants.
We have entered a new era, which requires that we do whatever we reasonably can to prevent children and teens falling behind in the mathematics and sciences. This will demand new approaches, and a broader view of how, when, and where education takes place.

The National Post Ampersand section is running a story based on Jian Ghomeshi's interview with Leonard Cohen, which will be broadcast in April. 1
My only complaint about the article is that I can't find material not to excerpt. The following extracted sections are outstanding, but so is the rest of the piece.
He's [Cohen is] all beatnik and bohemian and I suddenly feel like the square wearing a "visitor" badge at the commune. He leads me to his kitchen and then I realize that, for a moment, I'm cooler than I've ever been through proximity alone. Still, how is it that this spindly man in a cap, almost twice my age, is making me feel like a old stodge? Leonard Cohen is young.
He's already my kindest uncle and my hippest friend. But we've only just met. It's all a bit embarrassing.
When we begin the interview, Cohen is open but not transparent. He is artful at revealing enough without giving too much. Still, as we tread through territory ranging from creativity to liquidity to fidelity to mortality, his answers are refreshingly candid. He makes admissions he has not made before. It never feels like he is on message.
When we talk about his trepidation about getting on stage, he responds, "Well I've been generally fearful about everything, so this just fits in with the general sense of anxiety that I always experienced in my early life."
On Hallelujah, Cohen smiles and says, "I like the song. I think it's a good song, but I mean, I think too many people sing it … I think people have to stop singing it for a little while."
At one point we discuss Cohen's long-established tendency to write poetry and songs inspired by his awe and reverence for the beauty of women. I ask whether he believes women have been a source of empowerment or weakness in his life. He answers both (of course): "We're invited into this arena, which is a very dangerous arena, where the possibilities of humiliation and failure are ample. So there's no fixed lesson that one can learn about the thing because the heart is always opening and closing, it's always softening and hardening. We're always experiencing joy or sadness." When I follow with a query about whether, despite his famous relationships with various women, he regrets not having one single lifelong partner, he responds by singing to me, "Je ne regrette rien …"
The entire article by Jian Ghomeshi, which you should read immediately, is available at Leonard Cohen talks women, age and Hallelujah
- The broadcast schedule for the interview follows:
- On Thursday, April 16, at 10 a.m., an interview of Leonard Cohen by Jian Ghomeshi, host of Q, the CBC arts and entertainment program, will be broadcast on CBC Radio One and Sirius Satellite 137.
- On Thursday, April 23, at 5 p.m., an encore presentation of the interview will air on CBC Radio 2.

They struck a nerve we didn't know needed striking: repellent, anarchist rubber-puppet critters that trashed every sentimental trope established by their nicer green-guy cousins, E.T., Yoda, and Kermit. Gremlins, executive-produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Joe Dante from a script by Chris Columbus (now king of the ''Harry Potter'' flicks, then an NYU student), was a huge sleeper hit. But the outlandish gore that ticked off parents and helped trigger PG-13 ratings -- pop goes the microwaved gremlin! -- still sinks the movie. When doe-eyed leads Phoebe Cates and Zach Galligan get clawed and speared by the ugly spawn of cute little Gizmo (whose fur Dante says he decreed should resemble that of Spielberg's cocker spaniel), their physical peril is played so straight it's no fun -- it's torture, not horror.
The extras on the disc are mainly old making-of promos, but new commentaries -- by Dante, the producers, and the cast -- hold fresher tidbits. Catch Galligan droning on about his inexperience and his big '80s coif (Cates is mostly silent). There's great detail on how much grosser Columbus' initial script was, including a scene of the family dog being eaten by gremlins. Apex of honesty: Dante admits he prefers the sequel, but says he ''can't knock'' the original because ''it's the only [movie] I ever get checks from.''

Canadian Court Rules Domain Names Are Property
Ruling on appeal gives victory to Tucows, expands scope of domain names as property.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario has ruled in favor of Tucows on its appeal over a domain name dispute, setting a precedent for domain name registrants that their domain names are property.
In 2009, Brazilian company Lojas Renner S.A. (a subsidiary of JC Penney) filed a UDRP against Tucows for the domain name Renner.com. Tucows acquired the domain name when it bought MailBank.
Tucows sued Renner in Ontario court rather than going through the UDRP process. Renner argued that there was no jurisdiction for the case in Ontario and that the domain name wasn't property. It wanted the case to proceed in UDRP. While a UDRP complainant accepts jurisdiction in the home of either the registrar or registrant (in this case both are the same and in Ontario), that only applies when a case is decided.
A motions judge ruled that there was no "real and substantial connection" between Lojas Renner and Ontario, that the domain name wasn't personal property, and that an assumption of the case in Ontario would undermine the UDRP process.
Tucows appealed.
The appeals court found essentially the opposite of the motions judge. The three member court ruled that domain names are property.
The court cited a number of reasons domain names are property and surveyed a number of previous cases, including the Sex.com case Kremen v. Cohen.
One point will resonate well with domain name owners:
…Tucows derives income from being the holder of the rights in the domain name renner.com. It has fourteen clients who subscribe to personal e-mail services using the domain name. If the domain name were to be transferred to Renner, it would undoubtedly assist in unlocking the value of Renner's business. The registered owner of the domain name has the right to exclusively direct traffic to the domain name's corresponding website and to exclude anyone else from using the same name. The ability to exclude others from the enjoyment of, interference with or appropriation of a specific legal right was held by Cory J. in Bouckhuyt, as a necessary incident of property.
The court is very senior in Ontario; the only appeal option would go directly to Canada's Supreme Court.
Tucows is in this case as a registrant, which means the appeals court decision is relevant to domain name investors.

thanks for posting.
I wonder if this will change the treatment of domain names by tax authorities, CRA in Canada.
Interesting, though as it's a Canadian court it's not going to have any binding impact on courts in other jurisdictions
@Andrew – so I've heard
On a more serious note, however, the more court decisions there are the better. The way an Irish court would view a Canadian decision is as "guiding" or something (not a lawyer and it's years since I did law) -
Excellent work by Tucows' legal team.
This decision stated something specific, though:
"The domain name is personal property in Ontario [b]within the meaning of rule 17.02(a).[/b]"
Just that some people might get the impression that domain names are property [b]no matter what[/b] the situation. If anything, courts in other jurisdictions will only consider similar decisions in other places, won't they?
Only court have law given power to take someones PROPERTY, unless law defines other institution.SO F**K YOU ICANN RETARDED PANELISTS

This is very bad for domain investors and domain owners in general. It means that if someone gets a money judgement against you they can take away your domain names.
The registrant, as listed in the admin contact would be the owner of the domain name. Any other legalities would be dictated by the registrants contract with anyone they gave rights to.
This seems rather obvious. -
JS and Dave Zan – As a former news reporter in Canada (and a domainer since 1999), my understanding of Canadian law is that other "Provincial" courts and the federal courts including the Supreme Court of Canada routinely refer to judgements from other jurisdictions "inside" Canada within the framework of the Canadian Constitution, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and prior to their entry into force – precedents from judgements within the framework of the British North America Act. Regarding the taxation question, I think you'd find that if you are deemed a resident of Canada for tax purposes, you'd be repsonsible for taxation on all income dereived from your domain names – regardless of whether a domain name is considered "property". It's the income they look at – not how it was derived (with a few rare exceptions like winning a lottery). Happy New Year – Allan.
Forgot to add my thumbs-up to this court's decision.
