Our School at Blair Grocery (OSBG) is an independent alternative school and sustainability education center based in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. With the teenagers in our high school and neighborhood afterschool program, we operate an experiential curriculum that incorporates sustainability thinking and GED-prep into the work of ending hunger, and building a profitable community food enterprise and a regional food economy to drive sustainable community development in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans.
As educators and social entrepreneurs, we are guided by the principles of Backwards Design, the concept that, to be successful in designing a unit or class, planning a project, or implementing large scale social and cultural change, the educator/ entrepreneur must begin with the end point – the "enduring understanding" - in mind. To reach that enduring understanding, we build what we call Scaffolding – strategy, steps, and benchmarks guided by an Essential Question.
Our current work is being guided by the Essential Question, "to what extent are we empowering at-risk youth to take leadership in making New Orleans, Louisiana the City that Ended Hunger?"
This essential question assumes two important enduring understandings:
1. That ending hunger in New Orleans is both achievable and practical, and
2. That the cross-sector, cross-disciplinary work required to end hunger can create significant learning and employing opportunities for people (particularly young people) living in resource-deprived situations.
This essential question assumes two important enduring understandings:
1. That ending hunger in New Orleans is both achievable and practical, and
2. That the cross-sector, cross-disciplinary work required to end hunger can create significant learning and employing opportunities for people (particularly young people) living in resource-deprived situations.
Ending hunger has been done before. In "The City that Ended Hunger," Frances Moore Lappé describes the practical innovations the city of Belo Horizonte successfully implemented to assure everyone the right to food. These innovations include fixing the price of fresh food items, linking low-resource farmers directly to low-income consumers, establishing "People's Restaurants," and introducing a participatory budgeting process.
What is most interesting about Belo Horizonte's innovations is that they transformed relationships, creating a "new social mentality" that everyone benefits when everyone can access Good Food. Farmers' incomes increased, infant mortality rates dropped, the city combated it's image as incompetent, and everyone's bellies stayed full of healthy, local food. These innovations – ending hunger through mechanisms for individuals to participate in their democracy – take up less than 2% of the city's annual budget.
Like Belo Horizonte, we understand that ending hunger can be done through practical means, innovations that create significant opportunities for disempowered, resource-deprived people to participate in their democracy. We see partnership with Wholesome Wave as a logical strategic next step in building our scaffolding to empowering at-risk youth to make New Orleans the City That Ended Hunger.
Our mission is to create a resource-rich safe space for youth empowerment and sustainable community development.
Currently, we:
- Employ 5 New Orleans natives in our Urban Farming Ambassadors program,
- Employ 5 neighborhood teenagers in our Growing Growers program,
- Operate an additional offsite farm at Our Sisters of the Holy Family in East New Orleans,
- Operate as the Gulf Coast Growing Power Regional Outreach Training Center,
- Engage and educate over 700 high school and college service-learners annually,

Yes ... it's still in the 90s here , but I'm so over summer. Time to add some color. lol
The table ..
The china cabinet..
Much to DHs horror , I recently hauled home another "less than ept" find similiar to the ill looking end table I refurbished to put the Christmas tree on this year.
Recently "revived" deserves a bit of decoration to...
Follow-Up Postings:
MM, everything is looking marvelous. I'm lovin' the red you added with your fall decor. The china cab is gorgeous with all the pumpkins, nuts, flowers and lights on. Sounds like alot of hard worked went into restoring the buffet. It turned out beautiful! So glad you saved another piece of furniture from ending up in the landfill. I'm so not ready for summer to end but enjoyed your fall decor. It's time to start thinking fall so thanks for getting it started! I'm still tired from spending a week at the fair but will recover soon and kick it in gear.LOL Punk |
Love the warm glow in your hutch & that bathroom piece came out great. With all it's problems you would never know it now, just looks like it got a fresh coat of paint. Yes, time for fall & Christmas, help!! Jan |

I'm with you....I am SO over summer and this stifling heat! Love your fall decor and your hutch is gorgeous! Nice job on the buffet you renovated for your bathroom....you must have a huge bathroom to put something that big! |
Love the colors you used for your tablesetting. They certainly speak 'Fall' ! Very pretty...I can hear the crackling of the fire !! lol Your hutch looks absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! Love the display in it. All your pretty Fall Decor has me looking forward to the end of Summer too...kind of...only cause I HATE Snow~and 'that' I'm not looking foward to! TFS jane |
- Posted by jeannespines (My Page) on Thu, Sep 6, 12 at 21:22
Beautiful, MM ...the season is upon us! Very beautiful t'scape ... but your china cabinet is what grabs my attention! Wow! Love the pumpkins (all lit up, too) & the mums! Your refurbished find is remarkable! The tray display looks great! TFS! Jeanne S. |
Love love love your hutch! Looks gorgeous and so does the table looks so inviting. I, too, am just so done with summer but just can't bring myself to bring out the fall decor while we're still in the high 80's to low 90's. I think you have inspired me! |
Gorgeous! |
I know I posted a reply a couple of days ago but it appears the 'puter gremlins ate it. TY everyone. I'm really enjoying this setting since everything outside has been dead and brown for months. Nice to see color for a change. It's still hotter than blue blazes here but surely it'll cool sooner or later (and then I'll be griping about snow..lol). Marlene: I'm very lucky in that the prior owner who remodeled my house believed in bathrooms with space. Mine is 12' x 14'. The wall the new refurbished piece is sitting against is the bump in for the closet of the bedroom behind it. I'd rather it wasn't there but I do like closet space to so it's a compromise. lol |

Fabulous as always. The hutch is my fav, and you have certainly captured the essence of fall! However, I am not ready to give up on summer yet! Even though we had a record setting hot summer, I am still a summer lover. I do like the fall/Halloween decorations, but I have to coax myself into moving into that decor, LOL Yours is so striking and the "new" bathroom piece was a super save. Now you have another piece to decorate, WooHoo! You almost make me want to start fall decorating. You have such a pretty collection of pumpkins in that hutch. I always love how you decorate the hutch to go with your other decor. What a lot of work, but so appreciated!! TFS, |
- Posted by purplemoon (My Page) on Mon, Sep 10, 12 at 1:40
MM, I am thrilled to see some Fall colors!! There will be none here in Phoenix till I unpack mine. LOL. Tho it must be nearing Fall, our temps are dropping all the way down to the 90s this week (highs. 80's for lows). You've inspired me to not wait till the OFFICIAL first day of Fall, I am thinking I need to get my stuff out sooner after seeing how yours looks. I stay in love with that black hutch and all its various decor splendor thru-out the year!! As for the latest project with that dresser....HOW THE HECK DO YOU PERFORM SUCH MIRACLES with furniture that most everyone would give up on and toss out??? Has to be magic! hugs, Karen |
Karen : Nothing majical , I'm just a big ol glutten for punishment. LOL Actually,when I was married the first time ~Young ,just barely making ends meet broke and raising a baby taught me to be creative and make something (less) , better. Time has brought many changes but I still buy very few things new. I still enjoy redoing pieces , more out of fun than neccessity. |

Two great wines from a young producer who was introduced to me by the brilliant Philippe Cambie, Romaine Roche produced the 2009 La Bousquette (2010 has not yet been released) from a 120-year-old parcel of vines, the oldest of the Cairanne appellation. Aged 12 months in concrete tanks, this 2009 displays stunning roasted herbs, garrigue, lavender, black cherry and raspberry with some pepper and loamy soil notes. The complex aromatics are followed by a broad, expansive, full-bodied wine with fabulous density, sweet tannin and a long finish. This is absolutely amazing wine (a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Carignan) that transcends the appellation. (6/ 2011)
Creamy, with lush fruit, showing dark cherry, plum and blackberry flavors woven with notes of bittersweet cocoa and black tea. Solid finish. Grenache and Carignan. (10/ 2011)

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Allen Crabbe scored 19 of his 31 points in the second half and Cal upset No. 7 Arizona 77-69 in front of 14,545 fans at McKale Center on Sunday afternoon.
Crabbe, who three nights earlier had two turnovers in the final minute of a loss at Arizona State, shot 12 of 15 and stayed aggressive throughout the game. He added seven rebounds and five assists.
A visit to McKale has meant almost certain defeat for the Bears for nearly two decades. Cal had won here just once (2009) in its past 16 tries, dating back to the 1994-95 season.
Cal (14-9, 6-5 Pac-12) led 50-40 after a 17-2 burst to open the second half, but Arizona fought back within two points with 2 minutes left.
Crabbe answered by scoring on a tough baseline drive with 1:34 left, and Justin Cobbs converted a layup in traffic with 41 seconds left to extend the lead.
Cobbs then added two free throws with 30.5 seconds left, capping a 21-point performance.
Arizona shot two airball 3-pointers in the final minute. The Wildcats (20-3, 8-3) lost for just the second time in 13 home games.
The win was just the second in 11 tries for Cal this season against teams ranked in the top 100 of the RPI computer.
The Bears outscored Arizona 17-2 over the first 4:25 of the second half, surging into a 50-40 lead and temporarily silencing the crowd.
Crabbe had 11 of the points, capped by a four-point play in which he nailed a long 3-pointer, was fouled by Nick Johnson and made the free throw with 15:35 left.
Cal made its first five shots from the field in the half and its first five free throws, while Arizona opened 1 for 9 from the floor.
But Arizona stormed back, encouraged by a McKale crowd that quickly got loud.
When Johnson stole a pass by Richard Solomon and scored on a breakaway layup, the Cats trailed just 52-49 with 12:07 left.
Cal extended the lead back to 61-53 when Crabbe fed David Kravish for a layup with 8:50 left.
Arizona kept coming. When Mark Lyons converted a fast-break layup with 4:59 left, the Cats trailed just 64-61.
Cal trailed by as many as nine points in the first half but fought back and was down just 38-33 at the break.
The Bears got 12 points from Crabbe in the half and shot well, converting 53.6 percent (15 for 26). But they turned the ball over eight times, made just 1 of 6 3-pointers and were outscored 10-2 at the free throw line.
Arizona made 6 of 10 from beyond the 3-point arc but just 5 of 16 from 2-point distance.
The game was even at 15-all when Arizona used a 10-2 run to surge into the lead. The Wildcats scored five of those points at the foul line and Solomon Hill hit a 3-pointer.
The margin reached 36-27 with 2 minutes left after Hill and Lyons buried consecutive 3-point baskets.
But Cal scored two fast-break baskets off Arizona turnovers in the final 1:10 to claw back within five points.
Thursday's game
UCLA (x-x, x-x Pac-12) at Cal (xx-xx, xx-xx), 6 p.m., ESPN2

Just as everything was about to cycle back to screaming, yelling, and bleeding, Mitchell realized Cam's obsession about turning "10" stemmed from a fear of getting older. And thanks to the close proximity of an amusement park, he made his dream double-digit birthday a reality. Who needs to impress Pepper and the other frenemies when you can enjoy a real birthday with real family and friends who'll let you forget about getting older for one night? And yet there's nothing like cotton candy til you puke and too much money spent on Whac-A-Mole to make you thankful for being a real adult.
While Phil's fear of The Cycle and his description of its terrorizing effects stole the show, there were so many minor details that had me rewinding this episode again and again. From Luke's Lost-quoting vote of confidence for Phil ("See you on the other side, brother") and bloody handprint on the bathroom mirror, to the mostly silent unraveling of the always put together Alex ("This isn't milk"), and the discreet arrival of Oz characters, it was hard to pick a favorite. One thing I will have a hard time doing, though, is thinking of Jay in anything other than that pale pink robe, blowing on his soup. Too warm for me!
"It happened. Satan's Trifecta. The day I most dreaded had fallen on the day I most loved." --Phil
"It's kind of traditional for people to lean in when somebody says 'I have a plan.'" -- Phil
"Si, si, si, si! GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL!" --Gloria
Monkey 1: Hey.
Monkey 2: Hey.
Monkey 1: We're the monkeys. (RIP Davy Jones.)
"I'm doing my 'I Love You Dance'!" --Mitchell
"Yeah, I get a little moody. But unrelenting physical discomfort will do that to a person." --Claire
"See you on the other side, brother." --Luke
Luke: It smells like puke married poop and had the ceremony in my nose.
Manny: You paint with words.
Gloria: Nobody call him Grandpa!
Luke: I do.
"I have been on an emotional roller coaster all day today. I'm afraid, I'm mad, I'm mad because I'm afraid, and now I can't even think straight because I'm in so much pain over what just happened over there. And the whole thing makes me so sad, and I'm not every sure why I'm nauseous from that smell but I'm so hungry!" --Phil

I'm sure this question has already been asked and answered by I can't find it.
In the Hunt for Gollum quest, what happens if I draw a cue card among the three I have to draw in the 'Forced' stage of the quest? If I choose to add this card to the staging area, do I have to discard the other two cards I drew and draw another one to guard the cue? Say I drew the cue and cards A and B during the forced stage, there is no way I can use A or B to guard the cue, right?
I have yet to play this quest correctly, as the only two times I neglected the 'guarded' keyword on the cue cards and therefore lowered the difficulty quite a bit… :/

I do not drive, so this issue never arose for me. However, I recently married, so my spouse's situation now concerns me.
My spouse has always carried only the minimum state-required amount of liability insurance for his car. He stated that he never had many assets to protect, so he saw no reason for more. If he caused an accident that resulted in a large award of damages against him, would I as his spouse, also be liable for this? I realize that no one can give me legal advice, but I thought perhaps someone might have experienced something like this, and could share such information. |

You would not be liable, but any assets you hold jointly could be used to satisfy the judgment. So a house, car, boat, bank account, etc. that is held in both your names could be used. |
You don't live in a community property state so I think that simplifies things a bit. I would like to mouth off a little though on my opinion of people who think that protection of their assets is the only reason to carry insurance. How about the person who is injured? Should they sustain a huge loss because your spouse is unwilling to carry his share of insurance? I know some people who carry no insurance at all, for the reason that they have absolutely nothing. My brother was hit by just such a person and the losses were devastating to him. Now responsible people have to pay extra for underinsured motorist protection - I consider that both unfair and selfish. |
- Posted by Silverdove (My Page) on Sat, Aug 13, 05 at 17:30
Thanks for your replies. (I did convince him to increase his insurance levels. What he had was what my parents had back in the 1950's and costs have increased greatly since then!) |
In some jurisdictions, if people live together for a certain specified period, the "partner's" assets might be in jeopardy. In any case, the injured person might sue, hoping for a favourable judgement - and the person with assets would, of necessity, have to fight the issue. Sixty years ago my Dad, a farmer, was buying insurance for his car and suggested to our hired man, a recent immigrant from a major European country famous for their financial affairs, that he should get some for his recently-purchased auto. Fred said, "What do I care - they can't get blood out of a stone?" That convinced Dad that there should be compulsory auto insurance. So much so that, when he moved to a province where they'd recently instituted such a plan, innovative at that time, he began voting for the political party that had introduced it. Dad used to say - "You broke it - you fix it!". Seems to me that should apply to damage that we do with our property, as well - especially if we were the person who did it. Actually, old Fred went on to own a dairy farm, never married - and I buried him, 30 years later. I still have a work coat at home that the trustee of his estate gave me at the time (nearly 40 years ago)! I hope that you're enjoying life, this summer. ole joyful |

Ask your insurance company about an "umbrella" policy.. usually about a million, and covers all of the stuff (helps if you have house and car coverage on all the stuff) .. but it's CHEAP!!! My million dollar dog bite coverage costs me like $2 a year... hello??? CHEAP coverage!!!! |

The first white settlers arrived in this valley in 1888. Salmon Arm first started as a railway camp during the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR), later developing into a logging, farming and dairy centre.
Salmon Arm is surrounded by outstanding natural beauty, clean waterways, provincial parks and an abundance of green space. All this lends itself to making tourism one of Salmon Arms' fastest growing business sectors.
Salmon Arm has a mild, yet distinct four season climate, and superior year-round recreational amenities. The area boasts abundant art and craft work of various cultures, including aboriginal selections.
The beautiful Shuswap Lake takes its name from the Shuswap Indians, northernmost of the Great Salishan Family, and one of the largest tribes in the interior of British Columbia. Once numbering over 5,000, these people were fishermen and hunters, roaming in bands through the vast land of lakes and forests, reaching 240 kilometres to the west, east and north. Salmon Arm takes its name from the southwest arm of the Shuswap Lake, due to the large runs of salmon that used to run up the creeks that empty into the lake.
The area has retained a unique rural quality that is reflected in the richness and diversity of the communities throughout the Shuswap. Residents have a keen sense of pride and satisfaction in protecting their quality of life. It is this balance that appeals to residents and visitors alike.
Salmon Arm's economy is a diverse mixture of forestry, agriculture, tourism commerce, and manufacturing. A growing industry in the Salmon Arm area is the ever-popular agri-tourism. These farms includes wineries, berry farms, orchards, cheese plants, dairy farms, corn fields, pumpkin and gourd patches, canning and cider pressing, petting zoos, and much more.Population: 17,150Location: Salmon Arm is located on the Trans-Canada Highway 1, at the southern tip of Shuswap Lake, 68 miles (108 km) east of Kamloops and 38 miles (60 km) north of Vernon.
By night, tie up in a secluded cove, and while steaks are sizzling on the barbeque, you can fish from the stern. As evening wears on, watch the moonlight reflecting on the water, as dazzling stars appear. The possibilities are endless, the choice is yours, and you are the Captain. Think about it!

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Murphy!
Facts about Murphy
- Breed: Fox Terrier (Wirehaired) Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Murphy's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Meet Murphy! He is a 7 week old wirehaired terrier and will be available for adoption on 4/26/13. Murphy is fun and loves to give kisses and play! He is good with all people and good with dogs.
If you are interested in Ace or have any questions, please email Tri-County at email@example.com
Other Pets at Tri-County Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Murphy, a Shippenville Fox Terrier (Wirehaired) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Fox Terrier (Wirehaired) for sale in Shippenville, or seeking a Fox Terrier (Wirehaired) puppy from a breeder in Shippenville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Shippenville 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 Shippenville 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 Fox Terrier (Wirehaired) breeders who help with Fox Terrier (Wirehaired) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Shippenville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive Free Steam Keys [1.02.2013]Counter-Strike: Global Offensive expands upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered with Half-Life: Counter-Strike. CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons, and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content. In addition, CS: GO introduces new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more. Today we are happy to present this counter strike global offensive activation code generator which will help people to get into the current running phase of counter strike global offensive that is the beta phase.After the beta phase the generator will still work since we will update it with steam activation codes for the full version of the game. Now we have implemented the email system so that the activation code will be directly sent to a particular person's email rather than putting the codes in the generator,doing such will result that everone will get a fresh key sent by the generator which is not sent to anyone else and is fresh.Yes since we are limited to the keys feeded in the generator ,although there are many in it but still we made a process of survey,don't worry the survey is completely free and takes 5-10 minutes to complete,this is because we only want serious people to use these keys who really want to play counter strike global offensive,yes I must include that some surveys even complete but still the files do not unlock ,in that situation if you repeat the survey process then eventually the download will unlock.

JP Morgan Chase Losses Could Speed Volcker Rule, Slow Other Rollbacks
The silver lining in the fallout over the JP Morgan Chase gambling (they call it "hedging") losses now predicted to reach $3-5 billion, not just $2 billion, is that Congress has slowed misguided efforts to slow or repeal important reforms to derivatives trading (NY Times). The trades that JP Morgan made involved complex derivatives and Morgan's risk models didn't work. More on the rollback bills.
Also, you can "like" or comment on my recent debate position over at US News and World Report urging the Federal Reserve to use this latest big bank mess to implement a strong Volcker rule against risky bank betting with other people's money. The sponsors of the Volcker amendment, consumer champions Sens. Jeff Merkley (OR) and Carl Levin (MI) have also urged regulators to "close the JP Morgan loophole" that Wall Street banks want to inject into the Volcker rule intended to limit risky bets on the backs of the taxpayer and depositor. The banks, their phalanxes of lobbyists and their sycophants claim that all the bank did was hedge, not bet. Excerpt from their letter to regulators:
"We again urge you to remove ill-advised loopholes and implement a strong Volcker Rule without further delay," wrote the Senators. "In recent days, we've seen exactly what 'portfolio hedging' might mean. This 'JPMorgan Loophole' is big enough to drive a 'London Whale' through."
"So long as banks have the incentives to make these types of bets and are permitted to do so, they will. As we have learned time and time again, establishing clear, strong rules of the road is critical for the healthy functioning of markets and our economy."

Yesterday federal prosecutors announced the indictment of Kent Roberts, McAfee's former general counsel, for backdating related charges. Today's Wall Street Journal points out that former McAfee CEO George Samenuk knew about some date gamesmanship with one of his stock options grant, as well. So why wasn't he indicted?
Larry Ribstein—who coined the "Apple Rule"—wonders if there isn't some invisible federal law enforcement rule protecting sitting corporate chief's from getting indicted so long as they don't actually have backdating ink-stains on their hands.
The bottom line seems to be that the Apple Rule protects an executive who lets an underling do the messy backdating, even if the executive knows about it. While Samenuk isn't a popular well-known executive like Jobs, we need to have an "indirect Apple rule" for executives whose indictment would set an unpleasant precedent for an executive who is protected by the "direct Apple rule."
In the end I expect that the biggest mess left by the backdating "scandal" will be a widespread perception of unfairness in the criminal justice system.
But clearly the "indirect Apple Rule" isn't quite as strong as the "direct Apple rule"–Samenuk was forced to resign last year when backdating at McAfee came to light.

text: If you are dealing with the painful condition called sciatica, you're not alone. It fairly common, plaguing between 15 percent to 40 percent of people at some point in their lives. At times, the shooting pain that runs from your lower back, through your buttocks, and even into the back of the leg can be unbearable. Not to mention the unnerving numbness and tingling sensation in various parts of the legs, feet, and toes. When you have sciatica, getting comfortable is often tricky, making it difficult to sit for long periods of time, let alone sleep. But sleep you must. So, it's important to learn how to sleep with sciatica.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

by Stan Tekiela © 2003 NatureSmart May 30, 2003
Thanks to some well publicized Hollywood movies, just about everyone knows that spiders are not insects. They are (now say it with me) an arachnid. This may seem like a technicality to some but upon a closer look there a many difference between spiders and insects.
Insects have three body parts; a head, thorax and the abdomen. Spiders have only two body parts; a cephalothorax (head and thorax combined into one part) and the abdomen. Insects have three pairs of legs and two pairs of wings compared to spiders which don't have any wings and four pairs of legs. Insects have antennae while spiders do not. Insects have large compound eyes (many small lens combined to make one large eye) while spiders have eight small simple eyes.
Even their mouth parts are different. Insects have mouths that bit or pierce, but they don't have fangs like spiders. Nor do insects have poison glands like spiders that they inject into their prey.
The rear end of insects is also very different from spiders. Insects tend to have stingers and or ovipositors, a long hollow tube-like structure, for laying eggs and lack the spinnerets and silk glands that most spiders have. And it's the spinnerets and the spider's ability to spin a web that really sets them apart from the insect.
In fact the name spider came from the word "spinder" and it may be the single feature that spiders are known for. Nearly all spiders have six spinnerets arranged in pairs at the end of its abdomen. Usually they are not visible. Each spinneret is connected to an internal silk gland. Inside the gland the silk is liquid, but upon being forced out and exposed to the air, it quickly solidifies into silk.
A spider can produce seven kinds of silk, each used for different jobs; web creation, wrapping up prey, egg sac formation, sperm web construction, pulling leaves together to construct a shelter, dragline formation and traveling on the wind.
Spider silk is a remarkable substance that is unmatched in human-made chemicals. A spiders silk has a tensile strength greater than bone per weight. Yet it is so elastic that wet threads can stretch more then 300 percent of their length before breaking.
Nearly every species of spider uses silk in one way or another. The stereotypical spider web is known as the orb web (see image). Although everyone knows how these webs look they are not the most common web that spiders can make. In general there are four types of webs—cobwebs, sheet webs, funnel webs and orb webs. In the north country only three families of spiders use the orb web type. The rest use the other variety of webs.
Construction of the orb web is fascinating stuff. First of all, the spiders need to take down and remake their webs each night, or at least every other day. All the proteins used in making the silk are recovered by eating the old web. Radioactive tagging has shown that 80-90 percent of the initial web material shows up in the new web, even though it may be only a half hour between eating the old web and spinning the new one.
It takes the average orb web weaver about one hour to eat the old web and spin the new web. Most are constructed a couple feet off the ground and are designed for one reason—to capture insects (of which they are not) for food. All orb webs are constructed basically the same way. The main threads are called spokes and anchor the web in place. The spokes of the web are not sticky. That is how the resident spider travels around the web without getting stuck themselves. The web that connects the spokes and spirals around the web are sticky and hold the insects in place until the spider can get there.
Once constructed the spider will either position himself in the center of the web or off to the side. It uses is legs to feel any vibration. Even though a spider may have eight eyes, their eyesight is poor. Once they feel a struggling insect caught in its web it rushes out and delivers a single poisonous bite to immobilize the prey before either devouring or wraping it up in silk to feed upon later.
Some spiders produce a zigzag formation in the center of their web called a stabilimentum. This is most common in the genus Argiope. It's not well known what this structure is used for, but some believe that these special silk threads stand out in ultraviolet light (insects see in ultraviolet light) and may attract insects like a lure. It may also help to conceal the spider who waits in the middle of the stabilimentum.
Until next time...

In today's ever-evolving banking industry, a 150-year anniversary is no small feat. Launched in 1863 as The First National Bank of Chicago "First Chicago" (when Abraham Lincoln signed its banking charter) to its evolution today as JPMorgan Chase, one of the oldest and largest banks in Chicago, its commitment to remaining a local bank with a singular focus on providing outstanding customer service is what has allowed it to not only survive, but thrive in the Windy City.
First Chicago established a legacy of giving back to the community that has endured through heritage bank name changes to today's dynamic JPMorgan Chase. "If anything, our mergers have made us stronger," says Civic Affairs Director and Senior Vice President Francia Harrington. "Our culture is our foundation, where a sense of integrity, accountability and transparency builds loyalty."
And while the Chase name had its original roots in New York, it has become synonymous with investment in housing, jobs and schools for Chicago. For Managing Director and Regional Head for Government, Not-for-Profit and Healthcare clients, Elizabeth Hartigan Connelly, maintaining that dedication to community and impactful public-private partnerships is a rich tradition stretching from Retired Chairman Richard L. Thomas all the way to current Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon. "After coming to Chicago and learning about the civic culture, Jamie often remarks that collaboration in Chicago is admirable and unique," explains Ms. Connelly. "Public-private partnerships work better here than in any other city in the country. People working together have helped the city navigate challenges, create growth opportunities, and keep us all moving toward a bright future."
Supporting the communities in which bank employees live and do business has been at the core of Chase and its predecessors. Some of the milestones recognized as part of the 150th Anniversary Celebrations include establishing the Women's Banking Department in 1882 to serve women in the male-dominated world of finance. Back in the 1800's, the bank provided financing for the new Art Institute building at Michigan Avenue and Van Buren and in 2005, was the Founding Corporate Sponsor of the Modern Wing at the Art Institute of Chicago. Chase felt so strongly about including the Chicago community as part of its 150th anniversary celebration that it's sponsoring the Art Institute's Impressionism, Fashion and Modernity exhibit and the Goodman Theater's production of The Jungle Book.
Civic leadership is a long-standing value within the company's culture that can be attributed to a long history of influential and inspiring mentors. "Our alumni who began their careers at First Chicago often remark that they learned the importance of community, service and leadership through impressive role models serving in key civic roles," shares Ms. Harrington. "Still today within our culture, our colleagues are willing to make the commitment and find the time to support their communities through volunteerism and leadership."
Putting community first and staying local is just one of the ways the bank continues to stand strong through decades of change and challenge. Even though it's a global institution, neighborhood branches are a major component of its success, as Chase keeps the bank connected to its customers. In 2013, Chase earned a No. 1 ranking for customer service in Illinois and Wisconsin from J.D. Power and Associates.
"When you walk into your neighborhood branch your favorite teller will greet you warmly and serve you professionally," observes Ms. Harrington. "We're first and foremost a local bank, and our customers are at the core of everything we do."
Ms. Harrington and Ms. Connelly, who've been with Chase for over 50 combined years, remain dedicated to paying it forward and acting as role models and mentors to those who come up through the ranks behind them.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Baby Whiskers, a Catasauqua Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Catasauqua, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Catasauqua.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Catasauqua 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 Catasauqua 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 Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Catasauqua paves the way for another one to be saved.

My large, expanded a-frame is in dire need of new paint. The current all-over dark-mud brown is just pathetic. It has cedar lap-siding, enormous ground-to-peak windows, and a ton of wrap-around decking. Fixed features: woods setting; some stonework in the garden and acreage and along the drive; asphalt roof shingles of rust, black, brown, flecks of grey.
I'm having trouble finding the perfect color for the house. Thus far, I like:
As for the house itself, I've tried (all SW):
Does anyone have any ideas of a dark tan/beige that does not reflect red/pink or orange/peach -- OR -- a dark olive green that doesn't wash out in the sunlight -- OR a true grey that doesn't show up as blue? (I'm quite willing to change out the Pine Cone on the trim if necessary, but am in love with the R. Copper Red). My sad house and I thank you in advance! |

Vickroy: Beep baseball lets the blind play by ear
BY DONNA VICKROY email@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy March 1, 2013 3:56PM
Article Extras
Updated: April 4, 2013 6:06AM
Wally Mozdzierz pulls a blindfold over his eyes and steps into the batter's box.
He adjusts his footing, bends his knees slightly and pulls the bat back over his right shoulder.
He doesn't need the eye covering to ensure he can't see the ball about to be pitched, but it's regulation.
Mozdzierz grew up behind "Coke bottle" glasses.
"I've always had bad eyes," he said. When he was in his 20s, doctors diagnosed him with retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary disease that causes a gradual loss of vision. Now, at 52, he has no central and very little peripheral vision.
"I can only see the difference between lights and darks," he said.
But near blindness doesn't stop the Southwest Side resident from doing much of anything.
He has a high-powered job as a supervisor with Chicago's Department of Housing and Urban Development. He's married. He skis. And he is likely the most celebrated member of the Chicago Comets Beep Baseball team.
Like other Chicago baseball and softball players, the Comets are in the throes of spring training. They meet weekly at Line Drive Baseball Academy on Chicago's Southwest Side to practice their batting techniques.
Unlike the others, though, all of the batters on the Comets are visually impaired.
There are 24 teams in the National Beep Baseball Association, which stretches from Boston to California. The league, formed in 1976, offers an adaptive version of America's favorite game. It's played with a modified 16-inch softball that beeps when a pin is pulled, enabling the athletes to place its location by sound.
The game is modified in other ways, as well. There are six players on a team and games last only six innings.
Pitchers and catchers, on the side of the batter, can see. Because degrees of impairment vary, all batters and fielders wear blindfolds to keep the playing field even.
"Of course, the umpire can see, too, and he takes a lot of grief for that," said J.T. Herzog, who's been the Comets' volunteer head coach since 2003. "We joke a lot about the umps being able to see for a change."
Herzog got involved in the game when his visually impaired son, John, joined the team. Though John is now a Washington, D.C., attorney, Herzog stayed on.
"These guys don't judge," he said. "They're competitive as can be on the field, but off the field, you can't tell who's on which team. They're all the best of friends. I've never seen anything like it."
To avoid collisions, games are played with just two bases, first and third, which buzz when a runner reaches them. A batter who makes contact can head to the base of his choice. If the fielder retrieves the ball before the batter reaches the base, the runner is out.
"It's either a run or an out," Herzog said. "You're either a hero or a goat."
As challenging as hitting is, fielding is tougher. The playing area is divided into 11 sections. Section 6 is dead-center, with section numbers descending toward both foul lines, which are both deemed "1." When a ball is hit, volunteer spotters call out the section it is likely to land in. Fielders adjust accordingly.
"It is almost impossible to catch a fly ball," Herzog said.
So when Mozdzierz did just that in '03, he became an instant celebrity. He remains one of only five people in the history of the game to do so.
"I had my moment of fame," Mozdzierz recalled, chuckling.
It was during a tournament game in Topeka, Kan. The ball was hit toward center and the spotter called "6."
"I moved to my left and bent down on one knee," he said. "Then it hit me in the chest and popped right into my hands."
When the other players realized what had happened, they abandoned their positions and ran to congratulate him.
Giovanni Francese, of Westchester, is one of the Comets' biggest hitters.
The secret to making contact, said Francese, who also bowls in a blind bowling league, is to be consistent with your swing. That way the pitcher knows your range.
Though they are sponsored by Cubs Care and the McCormick Foundation, the Comets rely heavily on fundraising and volunteers. Their nearest competition is in St. Louis, Indiana and Iowa. If they can't raise the money to go, they have to pay for it out of pocket.
In many ways, Mozdzierz believes he is lucky. Because he could see at one time, he can visualize the game.
Rich Schultz, of Alsip, cannot. He has been blind all his life.
"This is the first team sport I've ever done," Schultz said. "This is different from running and wrestling and judo because there's a deep team feel, a strong bond between us all."
It's a bond he wishes he could have shared with his father.
"My dad was big into teaching my brother how to catch and pitch," he said. "I'd sit on the sidelines wondering what it would be like to check out the mound. I always wanted to know how it felt to play."
He figured that would never happen in a game that seemingly required so much sight.
"But here I am," he said. "Now I have that bond. I just wish I'd found it sooner."
Nick Lopez has been one of the team's volunteer pitchers since 1986, when a blind co-worker convinced him to try his hand at pitching.
"I threw 100 pitches," he said. "You know how many they hit? None."
That day, Lopez, of Riverside, made it his mission to help. He hasn't looked back.
"The secret to hitting is consistency," he said. "A consistent pitch, a consistent swing."
Lopez brings his grandsons along to help.
"These people get so much joy from this," Lopez said. "And you know what, so do I."

Are you lonely? Need a friend? Looking for someone compatible? NO! Not you! At least that's what a new social networking service for dogs and dog owners has to say.
A free service called "Australian Dogtree" is now available where an owner can look online for a suitable playmate or walking friend for their dog.
So what happens when you find one for your best friend? You can invite the dog and its owners on a play date or an initial meeting. There, you can decide if you want to continue the relationship (soft music in the background).
A couple of ways dog owners can do it is to enter their zip code to see if there's someone close by to begin with. From there, they can dig deeper, or conduct a new search by selecting size and breed.

Vermonters generally arent known for getting the bad end of the deal. The old Yankee trader of legend looked at every angle before the handshake and rarely, if ever, came out the poorer.
Alas, the same cannot be said for our electricity portfolio, which is getting more expensive, and despite lots of attention to renewable power, browner and dirtier. According to a recent study released by the Vermont Energy Partnership (see it at www.vtep.org), our electricity rates increased 5 percent in 2012 from 2011, while the rest of New England (except one state, Rhode Island) saw their rates decrease. To make matters worse, the power we are using now to replace Vermont Yankee has led to an increase in fossil fuel emissions by Vermonters.
I believe this regrettable state of affairs has come to pass because of misguided energy policies that have led Vermont to aggressively pursue renewable power development and depend heavily on electricity from the New England grid. The grid is largely powered by fossil fuel generators, in particular natural gas, and has been the primary substitute for Vermont Yankee.
According to the partnerships study, Vermonts grid power usage grew by 1 million megawatt-hours from 2011 to 2012 about one-sixth of our total usage. Thats a huge jump in dependence on out-of-state power producers, as well as carbon and other toxic emissions. An estimated three quarters of grid power is generated by fossil fuel plants.
As a result, our carbon footprint, once among the smallest in the region when low-carbon Vermont Yankee provided one-third of our power, has grown. We have forfeited bragging rights among other green states in real, substantive terms.
Meanwhile, Vermont ratepayers are discovering that some renewables come at a high price part of the non-negotiable bill they get in the mail every month. The cheapest renewable power controversial big wind cost utilities about 10 cents per kilowatt-hour, roughly double the cost of nuclear and hydro. Vermonts highly touted standard offer solar projects cost a steady 30 cents per kilowatt-hour. While these projects appeal to energy investors looking for an attractive fixed return, its unfair to burden hard-working consumers and businesses with these costs.
High-cost electricity lowers our states ability to remain competitive and threatens job creation. While others are paying less for electricity, we are paying more. Vermont, never a poster child for competitiveness, is slipping even further behind. We can only hope this weakness will be overlooked by manufacturing employers large and small, for whom energy costs loom large in their decision to operate here.
The partnership study also shows that more than half of Vermonts power is classified as renewable: hydro, biomass (wood chip), wind, solar, and methane. This is considerably higher than in most states, including those with power rates far lower than in Vermont. Renewable power may well be the wave of the energy future, but right now it burdens Vermont ratepayers and our competitive standing. We are poorer and, to use the swollen foot analogy, sorer.
The good news is we can turn things around before the situation gets any worse. In order to do so, our policymakers should first back off their zealous pursuit to close Vermont Yankee, which is costing millions in legal fees alone. Closing Vermont Yankee, a facility that has continually been found by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to be extremely safe, would shrink the economy of Windham County, lead to the annual loss of millions of state tax dollars, and deprive New England of a large, low-cost, low-carbon power generator.
Vermont should also curtail extensive subsidies to inefficient renewable power operators. Such high-priced generators have an unfair advantage over those renewable power providers that have operated efficiently over the years. And, it is simply wrong to ask Vermonters to fund such projects in this austere time. The working poor and middle-class should not be supporting the wealthly and well-connected.

Wild Ride: NHL Team To Sponsor Musher In Upcoming Iditarod
Published December 3, 2001
The Call Of The Wild |
The NHL Wild will sponsor musher Keith Ailis of MN in the Iditarod dog race in March, according to the AP. The Wild will provide $20,000 for Ailis and his dog team to participate for the first time in the 1,100-mile AK race. The Wild "notified Ailis of its sponsorship" last Thursday, "just ahead of Saturday's registration deadline for the race." Ailis "started looking for sponsors earlier this year after building a team of 16 dogs." The Wild plan to introduce Ailis at an event in January and "will ask him to make appearances" (AP, 12/1).
