Schools request 5.5 percent increase
By Ken Cleveland BANNER CORRESPONDENT
Add a comment
WEST BOYLSTON – It took only a few minutes for the School Committee to hold its budget hearing last week, but there was a lot of information for people to digest.
The projected school budget for next year is pegged at $9.45 million, a 5.5 percent hike over this year's figure.
Superintendent of Schools Elizabeth Schaper last Wednesday detailed some of the key areas where the increases are most acute as the schools prepare a budget to educate the estimated 965 students in the West Boylston schools next year.
Increases in teacher salaries will add $347,254 to the budget next year, up 4.5 percent.
Special education out-of-district tuitions will add $140,698, a 36.5 percent jump, with transportation for those students adding an additional $68,760, up 31.9 percent.
The totals add up to more than the $493,341 hike in the overall budget.
"We made reductions in our own needs," to counteract increases, Schaper said.
Budget numbers
The budget shows several areas of increases, while others show decreases.
The overall salaries and wages increase comes to 4.5 percent, while the special education budget rises by 19.2 percent. The special education increase comes despite cutting instructional materials by a total of $72,114, a 36.5 percent reduction. Schaper said that was because materials were more appropriately contained in the budget lines for the individual schools.
The increase for system-wide special education costs was up 17.1 percent, but that final figure was $12,733, a fraction of the other elements of the special education program, emphasizing the impact of costs the schools can't control.
Schaper said the impact of special education was increased by a new rule of cost sharing.
There were five out-of-district special education students last year from the middle/high school. Next year, two additional students at the middle/high school and one at the elementary school will require out of district services.
The new law requires that, if a student has one of his or her parents living in West Boylston, the town must share in the costs of that child's education, even if the child lives in another town.
West Boylston must now share the cost, over which the town has no control, with the town in which the child lives.
"Sometimes we have no idea before we are assigned responsibility for the costs," Schaper said.
Schaper said there were no situations in which West Boylston could benefit from the cost of a child in an out-of-district setting being shared with another town.
School choice funds used
Schaper said the schools will once again use school choice money to cover some costs, such as utilities and transportation. However, less money is available in that account this year, reducing that as a means of paying for some bills. That money, since it does not come from tax revenue, is not reflected in the operating budget. The total budget, including utilities covered by school choice, comes to $10,050,033, up $477,935 over last year.
The School Committee last week voted to allow school choice students into town schools: Up to eight third graders, four in fourth grade and an open-ended option for the middle/high school, where there are currently 501 students, less than the 617 estimated maximum that have been in the school. Schaper said about 36 students have sought to come to town as choice students.
One key reduction in the budget comes from the Virtual High School (VHS) offerings.
"We made a purposeful choice to reduce VHS," Schaper said.
She said the 25 seats available for the coming year will be in line with other districts, including those larger than West Boylston. The number of seats available for VHS classes already dropped from 125 to 75 last year. Even at 25, over one-third of the school's seniors could participate in the online classes, she said.
Schaper said there has been an "over reliance" on VHS that sometimes leads to lower enrollment in regular classes. She said a "blended" classroom was more effective than a virtual class alone and said the schools preferred their own teachers, whereas VHS had no quality controls.
"An analysis of VHS classes showed most were less challenging than courses here," she said. In addition, she said, the cost of VHS classes was three times that of a student in the regular classes.
"We want to continue to maintain our college prep curriculum," Schaper said. "I don't feel we need VHS to maintain quality."
The School Committee also approaved a new contract with the district's teachers. The yearly percentage increases for cost-of-living equal 1 percent, retroactive for the current year, which began in July, and 2 percent over the next three years. See more details on the new contract in next week's Banner.

Prison Fellowship Ministries founder Chuck Colson is still in intensive care Tuesday despite earlier reports the evangelical leader was showing signs of recovery.
"His condition remains the same," Kelsey Hulgan, a spokesperson for Colson, told The Christian Post.
Colson, 80, had surgery March 31 to remove clotted blood from the surface of his brain.
Shortly after the surgery his health worsened. But by late last week, doctors said Colson was improving and had even given a thumbs up.
"Colson can hear, process information, and execute commands given to him," Prison Fellowship Ministries CEO Jim Liske said, quoting Colson's attending physician.
The influential Christian leader was speaking at a conference March 30 when, according to author Eric Metaxas who was at the event, Colson suddenly "looked unsteady."
"We quickly got him into a chair, and within half an hour he was on the way to the hospital, then airlifted to another hospital," Metaxas recalled.
As Colson recovers, Metaxas will fill in to carry out his daily "BreakPoint" broadcasts.
For the first time in 34 years, Colson was unable to minister this year to inmates in prison on Easter Sunday.

It's used more often in spinal fusions, but experts worry about costs and complications,,
TUESDAY, June 30 (HealthDay News) -- A relatively new agent that stimulates the creation of new bone as part of spinal fusion surgery is being increasingly used in the United States, although costs and some complication rates also appear to be higher with its use, a new study reports.
The therapeutic agent, known as bone-morphogenic protein, or BMP, is now used in at least 25 percent of spinal fusion surgeries.
"The use of BMP is rapidly increasing every year," said the study's lead author, Dr. Kevin Cahill, a neurosurgeon at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The study found that more complications occurred in procedures involving the front part of the neck -- anterior cervical fusions -- when BMP was used.
"In the neck, there's not a lot of extra room, and there seems to be some swelling associated with the use of this product," Cahill said. The most common complications from BMP in neck procedures were difficulty swallowing and hoarseness, according to the study, which is in the July 1 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The study did not find an increase in complications in other fusion procedures.
Nonetheless, other surgical experts expressed the need for caution.
"This is a very potent substance, and I don't think anyone doubts that it works, but we don't know what dosages are right in each area, and we don't know if it's the right thing to do economically," said Dr. Douglas Burton, an orthopedic surgeon at the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.
And Dr. Richard Fessler, chief of surgery and a neurosurgeon at St. John Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit, said that the study's finding "underscores why off-label use shouldn't be performed indiscriminately."
"We've increased the cost of this procedure, but we're unsure of th

R. Kelly Goes From Broke to 'Money, Cars, Mad Hos' on 'My Story'
2 Chainz brings off-kilter verse to semi-autobiographical track
Fresh off a summer in which he appeared at Coachella, Bonnaroo and Pitchfork Music Festival, R. Kelly has released his new single "My Story," featuring (who else?) 2 Chainz. It finds Kells swinging all the way back to an ultra-modern sound after his glorious throwback LPs Love Letter and Write Me Back to results that are unfortunately quite disappointing. The track — presumably self-produced — is leaden and repetitive, showing little of the humor or songwriting prowess that has defined Kelly's career. 2 Chainz's verse, meanwhile, isn't exactly as bad as it is hilariously off-topic.
The single is reportedly the first off of Kelly's upcoming album Black Panties, which is slated to be his first pop-oriented full-length since 2009's Untitled. That album similarly featured an irritating lead single ("Supaman High," featuring OJ Da Juiceman) but did manage to produce a few great tracks, notably the follow-up singles "Number One" and "Echo". We'll find out if Black Panties follows the same path whenever he gets around to releasing it.

I will definitely make this again. I added in carrots with the onion and garlic and the sweetness of the carrots really came out with the tomatoes and spices. I also used an herbed goat cheese instead of feta and put it over spaghetti squash. A healthy, delicious and easy dish that I will make again.
This was delicious and beyond easy. I made it on the stovetop after work with medium sized, frozen shrimp (yes, dumped frozen shrimp right in the sauce; they were small enough that they thawed within a minute or two and then cooked through quickly) and served it with pasta. It was devoured by my family, who requested I add it to our menu rotation.
Delicious! We still have lots of tomatoes from the garden to we used fresh ones instead of canned tomatoes. The dish was probably not as juicy but was excellent.
Wow, I thought this dish was easy,versatile (appetizer or dinner) and delicious. I didn't change a thing! Make sure you have a great bread!
This was delicious and easy to assemble. I actually made it 5 hours beforehand, put it in the casserole and let it cool. Then I crumbled the feta over the top of it and it was ready to go in the oven. DEFINITELY serve with a great bread 'cuz there's lots of good stuff to soak up.
The Feta overpowered the rest of the dish in my view. I would also use less cinnamon unless you really like the spice.
This was good. But I don't understand why this it's called "Greek-Spiced". Nothing specifically Greek about cinnamon or allspice or dill. Only the feta is Greek and cheese is not a spice.
What a great easy recipe. I didn't have allspice and used 5 cloves of garlic and it was delicious!!! The feta cheese definitely made this dish fantastic!!
I made this as a starter for my husband's birthday dinner and it was a huge hit. I was making duck so I wanted something with a spicy pow to counteract the richness of the duck and it worked out perfectly! Snaps to all of us who stayed with the recipe even though we had our questions about the cinnamon and allspice. But I do agree with those who left off the dill, it's fine with it but I think it would be fine without it. Great Great Great!

Tide has turned for resurgent Furness
Published at 16:42, Friday, 07 December 2012
CUMBRIA LEAGUE RUFURNESS will look to make it five wins from their six games when they head to struggling Netherhall tomorrow.
The Blues have come into their own over recent weeks, with victories over Penrith seconds, Millom, Kirkby Lonsdale seconds and Carlisle Crusaders last weekend pushing them into the top four.
The team coached by experienced players Corne Els and Gaz Pritchard did suffer one defeat during this period, but still put in a strong performance in that 17-5 loss at table-toppers Hawcoat Park, and they will be in confident mood for the Netherhall match.
A determined second-half fight-back saw Furness earn a 15-12 victory in a hard-fought clash with Carlisle at The Strawberry Grounds last weekend.
The visitors led 9-0 before a Joel Thomas try and Sam Dutton conversion brought the margin back to just two points at the interval. A second half try from South African Dries Venter and a Dutton penalty made sure of victory.
Despite that win, Furness will be looking for big improvements tomorrow, with Pritchard saying: "We made hard work of it last week. We missed a lot of chances, both with the boot and in open play.
"We were held up close to the line a few times. Our discipline let us down as well, so we are looking to be a bit more clinical this week."
Adam Pearce is missing with a shoulder injury and will be replaced in the front row by Andy Shaw, who produced a great first-team debut against Carlisle.
Another blow sees ex-skipper Phil Brockbank missing, but Cian Grace, who was absent last week, returns to the back row, while Jack Clements, who was also missing last week, will return to boost the three-quarter line.
Furness A will look to inflict a double over Upper Eden at the Strawberry Grounds (2.15pm kick-off).
It's a game which will see father and son – Graham and Dan Crabtree – playing together for the home side.
lAny other A-teamers wanting a game should contact Gaz Pritchard or skipper Mark Hall to let them know they are available.

Best Puzzle Game - Best of 2011 Awards Winner
This is GameSpot's Best Puzzle Game of 2011.
I just wish it was harder and longer. I only had trouble a few times playing this game, however overall it was some what easy... Perhaps thats because I played the first Portal so the concept was basically already done. A few new twists in Portal 2 but didn't take long to get the idea... Still I would say this is one of the best games in awhile... Keeping it on my shelf just for the chance of some DLC....
Good winner, the balance of the game was spot on that you would not need help but made you think how do I this and sometime it was the simple answer to the question that got the results, And the game was funny
Portal 2 ? "Challenging" ? "Makes you feel so incredibly smart" ? "Perfect balance between being challenging but never having logic that you can't work out on your own" ? Come on Gamespot, let's be serious for a moment. I'm not saying it doesn't deserve the title for its concept, its funny moments and the very welcome addition of a cooperative mode which isn't usually a part of puzzle games, but it could have been so much better would it have been longer and harder. Puzzle games are supposed to be hard, to require a few minutes even from long term gamers. Portal 2 wasn't difficult enough for core puzzle gamers.
A worthy winner of this category. I have played Portal 2 more times than I can count, and the storyline remains fresh and immersive.

What is it?
The IEA has devised an Energy Development Index (EDI) in order to better understand the role that energy plays in human development. It is an indicator that tracks progress in a country's or region's transition to the use of modern fuels. Helping to measure energy poverty, the EDI provides a rigorous analytical basis for policy-making.
The World Energy Outlook will update and publish the Energy Development Index on an annual basis in the hope to raise the international community's awareness of energy poverty issues and to assist countries to monitor their progress towards modern energy access.
How is it calculated?
The EDI is calculated in such a way as to mirror the UNDP's Human Development Index and is composed of four indicators, each of which captures a specific aspect of potential energy poverty1:
A separate index is created for each indicator, using the actual maximum and minimum values for the developing countries covered. Performance in each indicator is expressed as a value between 0 and 1, calculated using the formula below, and the EDI is then calculated as the arithmetic mean of the four values for each country.
Indicator |
actual value - minimum value
maximum value - minimum value
The 2011 EDI
Using 2009 data for the four energy development indicators discussed above, we have calculated the 2011 EDI (Figure 1). The minimum and maximum values used in the calculation of the 2011 EDI are shown in Table 1 below.
Download here the 2011 EDI values and component by country.
Figure 1
2011 Energy Development Index
Source: WEO-2011
Table 1
The minimum and maximum values used in the calculation of 2011 Energy Development Index
Minimum value (country)
Maximum value (country)
Per Capita commerical energy consumption (toe) |
Per Capita electricity consumption in the residential sector (toe) |
(Haiti) |
(Venezuela) |
Share of modern fuels in total residential sector energy use (%) |
(Ethiopia) |
(Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Iran) |
Share of population with access to electricity (%) |
(Dem. Rep. of Congo) |
(Jordan, Lebanon) |
1 The choice of indicators is constrained by the type of data related to energy poverty that is currently available. For example, the per-capita commercial energy consumption figure is one indicator of overall economic development of a country but for reasons of data deficiency it fails to take account of biomass resources, including wood, charcoal and biofuels, which are used for productive activities in developing countries. Biomass data is seldom disaggregated in a sufficient manner to capture this reality. With the introduction of low-emission, high-efficiency stoves, biomass consumption will decline in many countries. Yet the EDI cannot adequately compensate for the fact that this decline will be slower than in those countries where households switch to liquid fuels for cooking, even though the impact on energy poverty could be similar. The countries included in the EDI are those for which IEA collects energy data.

Creamy Leek & Spinach Pasta
Pasta night may just be a new addition to the weekly menu. Between carbonara and zucchini linguine with herbs, I'm really not sure why pasta doesn't make a more frequent appearance. It is delicious, easy, economical, and the possibilities are endless. Although the deliciousness and total disregard for portion control may be part of the problem.
Inspired by this Food & Wine Recipe, leeks are always welcome and appreciated in my kitchen.
This recipe makes 3 servings.
6 ounce
whole wheat pasta
1 Tablespoon
olive oil
leek, thinly sliced
2 cloves
garlic, minced
3 Tablespoon
garlic and herb mascarpone cheese, or plain
6 cups
fresh baby spinach
parmesan cheese, pepper, and red pepper
- Prepare pasta as directed. Heat olive oil in large pan and add leeks and garlic when hot. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until the mixture is soft. Add cooked pasta to pan and toss with mascarpone and spinach. Finish with freshly grated parmesan and red and black pepper.

Suffice it to say that Gaylord remained upright long enough to rock the house. And while she's taken plenty of knocks since then--for, among other things, the unapologetic, carnal fury of her live persona--she's still standing.
The genesis of her current group can be traced to a period two years after Gaylord's initial gig. Today she gushes gratefully about her membership in '57 Lesbian: "Playing with Matt was the most fundamental part of my education. I couldn't say I was a beginner at all after playing with the guy who was the bass player for the Fluid." But she returned early from the band's last tour with the conviction that she needed to start a project of her own--one "where I was working with people in more of a collective sense." Her prototype was initially dubbed Jonny Rocket, a handle that was changed after members discovered that it also served as the moniker for a nationally known chain of hamburger stands. Several lineup changes later, the rechristened Rollers solidified around drummer Madison (a defector from Fox Force Five) and guitarist Jeffrey Allen. "It was really hard to find somebody to play guitar, because Madison and I were so connected musically," Gaylord says. "We have a strict regimen about how we practice and how the band functions and what its purpose is. Not like, 'Oh, we're so serious,' but we definitely have some strict guidelines. We're the band Nazis. Not Nazis, but band Nazis--not to be confused."
Discipline and thoughtfulness inform the group's music, even though the whiskey-saturated bacchanals that are the outfit's live shows seem to belie such characteristics. These qualities are appreciated by Allen, who frequently found the lack of structure in his previous group, Ruby Hue, to be frustrating. "I used to argue with the other guitar player in the band all the time," he notes. "Say a song was in the key of A and we were doing this progression, and then he'd want to start off a chorus in A. And I'd say, 'You can't do a chorus in the same key. What the hell is that?'" During his maiden collaborations with Gaylord, however, he says, "I loved the way Maranda wrote the songs, and I liked the way I was playing. I'd never really played guitar that way before; I'd never looked at music from a bass line before." Since then, Allen has found the challenge of wrapping his leads around Gaylord's runs--which alternately hammer in the tradition of punk fusillades or hump along like a sultry camel--to be much more satisfying. "It's like, okay, here's a song that's two notes. So now I'm totally open; I can do almost anything within this structure. It's bare bones, stripped down."
"Some of the best songs in history are two notes," Gaylord contends. "Parliament, whatever...It's a matter of, the music rocks or it doesn't. That's the bottom line. There's a lot of integrity in being stripped down."
Madison, too, finds that the seeming limitations of his position stir his creativity. "What I appreciate about Jeff is that there are a lot of players that don't want to come in and try to play somebody else's music and take it as a challenge to come up with the correct part that will please not only themselves but everyone else in the band. That's what I want to do. I've always wanted that to be my role." His drumming history spans extremes; he's played everything from Top 40 to sexploitation punk. As a Commerce City Roller, he pulls out his tricks with discretion, and to great effect. "I used to play a lot of jazz-fusion sessions and had a huge kit--seven or eight cymbals. Now I just play a four-piece. I just kept subtracting. With this band, I can play quarter notes or I can play as busy as I want to."
Live, Madison cues the subtleties of the music from his perch behind the skins. Somebody's got to: His bandmates are both too busy exercising their rights to fantasy and excess. Allen executes airborne split-kicks and windmills like Pete Townshend, while Gaylord, a cigarette dangling from her lip, squeals paeans to horse lust in an estrous fever that seems perfectly in keeping with her blue-movie name.

Hadley Earabino, Life Coach
Life Coach
I Believe
http://www.yourtango.com/experts/71777/editWhether your marriage feels dead, you're stuck in a job you hate, or your passions have become painful for you, I can coach you.
- ...
About Me
I was called to be a coach. This career path was literally called out for me by a fellow healer I really respect. When he said, "Hadley, you would be a great coach!" my whole self just resonated. At this time, around 2008, I was already spending a few hours a day coaching people over the phone for a volunteer organization, so turning that into a career felt completely natural. That's how I knew I was on my true path–it felt as natural as taking big breath of fresh air: invigorating, freeing and peaceful all at once.
My website: TheLoveLifeCoach.com
People say I help them a great deal, even when we've only spoken briefly. They say I'm intuitive, creative, nurturing, idealistic, able to visualize fabulous possibilities, and really good at "holding healing space" for them. I've survived various traumas, so helping people find their way is like an alchemical process which turns lead into gold, suffering into joy. I've gone on the journey, been tested, and now I get to return with the elixir.
My website: TheLoveLifeCoach.com
While coaching is a relatively new career path for me, I have been helping people with relationship issues for most of my adult life. In my twenties, I trained in embodiment therapy and advocated for victims of childhood sexual abuse. In my thirties, I trained at the Rising Spirit Institute of Natural Health, and taught communication tools to couples. Now in my forties, I'm a Certified Martha Beck Life Coach and I help people in major life transitions, like career changes, painful divorces, life makeovers, or facing a pattern of sex and love addiction.
The Reason I Became A Helping Professional
I didn't believe in life coaching. That was before I started using Martha Beck's North Star approach in my own life. In 2003 I was reeling from a divorce, raising young children and slaving away at a job I had outgrown. I decided to try this whole coaching thing. When I asked myself what I would do if I could not fail, I wrote:
"I would stay home and write, and be with the kids, and then once a month or so I'd be on a great trip to a magical place like Sedona, the BVI or Maui...With Kevin, who is my best friend."
And this is exactly what my life is like now. I live a blessed life, one filled with love, adventure, creativity, children and dogs.
This is even more amazing to me when I think about how I've survived emotional and physical abuse, health challenges, divorce and poverty. I've made the journey and now it's time to share some of what I've learned.

Success Stories
Kim Lewis
I found Hadley at a time in my life where I had no idea what I wanted to do with my career. After interviewing some of the best coaches in Atlanta, I chose Hadley because we instantly developed a positive rapport. I felt as though I was speaking with a dear friend who happened to have the training and experience I needed. After 6 weeks of coaching with Hadley, I had a clear direction of what I finally wanted to be when I grew up (I'm in my forties). I now have an action plan and a new sense of excitement. Hadley uses her knowledge, insight, compassion and sense of humor to gently guide you and help you come to your own realizations, without any pressure or unpleasantness. It was the best investment that I've ever made in my future. Don't hesitate. If you're willing to do the work, Hadley can help you find your true calling in life.

I was able to work through some very tough and sensitive issues with her without ever feeling vulnerable or afraid. She is really fantastic. ~E. Somers
If you are interested in Hadley's coaching, do it. Without hesitation. Hadley's doing exactly what Hadley needs to be doing and it shows. ~W. Phillips
Other people's self-help bores me. Hadley's does not. It's actually helpful because it doesn't feel like self-help. She has a way of conveying things in a way that is doable and magical...She's awesome. ~R. Souders
Hadley is practiced, insightful and empathetic. She knows her tools and she is wonderful one on one. And she is FUN. Trust this process, and if you are truly willing to be honest, your life will never be the same. ~T. Colton
Latest review from current client
Dearest, most amazing Hadley, I wanted you to know I think you are absolutely amazing and I'm so, so, SO grateful I found you. You have no idea the difference you made in my entire being last night. I was unbelievably exhausted, sick and beaten down when we started our conversation and by the time we finished up it was as if I'd been shot with the most amazing antidote imaginable. Today has been dramatically better than the entire first part of the week. I'm exhausted now after a pretty intense day but I've felt the most real sense of impending freedom and a most definite "shackles off" sensation playing the background all day.

This item may be Check for Availability This title in other editionsThe Namesake: A Portrait of the Film
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Maladies established this young writer as one the most brilliant of her generation. Her stories are one of the very few debut works — and only a handful of collections — to have won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Among the many other awards and honors it received were the New Yorker Debut of the Year award, the PEN/Hemingway Award, and the highest critical praise for its grace, acuity, and compassion in detailing lives transported from India to America. In The Namesake, Lahiri enriches the themes that made her collection an international bestseller: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the conflicts of assimilation, and, most poignantly, the tangled ties between generations. Here again Lahiri displays her deft touch for the perfect detail — the fleeting moment, the turn of phrase — that opens whole worlds of emotion.
The Namesake takes the Ganguli family from their tradition-bound life in Calcutta through their fraught transformation into Americans. On the heels of their arranged wedding, Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli settle together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. An engineer by training, Ashoke adapts far less warily than his wife, who resists all things American and pines for her family. When their son is born, the task of naming him betrays the vexed results of bringing old ways to the new world. Named for a Russian writer by his Indian parents in memory of a catastrophe years before, Gogol Ganguli knows only that he suffers the burden of his heritage as well as his odd, antic name. Lahiri brings great empathy to Gogol as he stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs. With penetrating insight, she reveals not only the defining power of the names and expectations bestowed upon us by our parents, but also the means by which we slowly, sometimes painfully, come to define ourselves. The New York Times has praised Lahiri as a writer of uncommon elegance and poise. The Namesake is a fine-tuned, intimate, and deeply felt novel of identity. Synopsis:Original essays and glorious photography, stunningly designed in this unique moviebook from the director of Monsoon Wedding and Vanity Fair—a Fox Searchlight release.
In her essay "Writing and Film," the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Jhumpa Lahiri writes about the experience of seeing her novel "transposed" from paper to film. "Its essence remains, but it inhabits a different realm and must, like a transposed piece of music, conform to a different set of rules. . . . To have someone as devoted and as gifted as Mira reinvent my novel . . . has been a humbling and thrilling passage." Mira Nair's essay, "Photographs as Inspiration," begins with the provocative comment: "If it weren't for photography, I wouldn't be a filmmaker." She explains how photographs help her crystallize the visual style of her films and which particular photos influenced her vision for The Namesake. These two essays, written exclusively for this Newmarket Pictorial Moviebook, introduce an amazing panoply of images of people and places shot mainly in New York and Calcutta during the making of the movie, accented by excerpts from Lahiri's bestselling novel. Six Indian and American photographers' works are represented. Brilliantly illuminating the immigrant experience and the tangled ties between generations, The Namesake tells the story of the Ganguli family, whose move from Calcutta to New York evokes a lifelong balancing act to adapt to a new world while remembering the old. The couple's firstborn, Gogol, and sister Sonia grow up amid these divided loyalties, struggling to find their own identity without losing their heritage. Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Superman Returns) stars as Gogol. About the AuthorMira Nair is the internationally acclaimed director of Monsoon Wedding, Salaam Bombay!, Vanity Fair, Mississippi Masala, The Perez Family, Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love, and Hysterical Blindness.
Jhumpa Lahiri, the author of Interpreter of Maladies and The Namesake, has been the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, the PEN/Hemingway Award, and a Guggenheim fellowship. Photographers represented include Frederick Elmes, Nemai Ghosh, Milan Moudgill, and Dayanita Singh.

A usually difficult task will be easier this year
Voters should look at judicial experience, individual stature in assessing the merits of candidates for Texas Supreme Court.
Races for the Texas Supreme Court don't grab headlines, and news coverage of the actions of this court is spotty. So how do voters choose candidates to trust with the responsibility of maintaining the rule of law? In past elections, they made Russian roulette choices based on party affiliation or name identification.
Fortunately for voters (and for the rule of law), the choices this November are made easy. Since it's difficult for voters to evaluate candidates for high judicial office, it's helpful that a screening process has already been done. There has been a lot of turnover on the Supreme Court, and the governor, with Senate consent, has filled vacancies by appointment, which stand until the next general election.
Two years ago, Gov. Perry appointed Wallace Jefferson, the first African-American to the court, to become chief justice. He has performed with diligence and commitment.
The Caller-Times Editorial Board recommends Jefferson be elected to a full term as chief justice. His opponent, Tom Oxford, is a Libertarian candidate from Beaumont.
The one Supreme Court race where voters face a tougher choice is Place 2. The governor last year appointed Don Willett, a party apparatchik with no judicial experience, to the court. The Editorial Board believes the Democratic challenger, William Moody of El Paso, has better qualifications. Moody has been a state district judge for almost two decades. While he's running an unorthodox campaign, with a walk across Texas, he has the judicial experience Texas needs on the state's highest civil court. The third candidate in this race is Wade Wilson, a Libertarian.
There are three other high court races. The Editorial Board endorses David Medina, a former Harris County district judge, who was appointed to succeed Wallace Jefferson when Jefferson was named presiding judge. Medina faces a Libertarian challenger, Jerry Adkins of Dallas.
In Place 6, incumbent Nathan Hecht was admonished earlier this year for being too outspoken in his support of Harriet Miers, appointed by President Bush for the U.S. Supreme Court. Still, Hecht is a clear choice over Todd Phillippi, another Libertarian lawyer.
In Place 8, Phil Johnson was appointed by Perry in 2005 to fill a vacancy left by Michael Schneider, appointed to a U.S. District Court. The Editorial Board recommends Johnson, who was serving as chief justice of the 7th Court of Appeals in Amarillo before his appointment, over Jay Cookingham, a Libertarian lawyer from Spring.

Bio and Links
I've been interested in genealogy since a friend introduced me to family research in the 1990's. In 2010, after attending a Veteran's Day observance, I found an error in their handout, so I decided to write as much a genealogy as possible on the cemetery in my town of Statham, Georgia. I've photographed every headstone in the cemetery and have compiled a brief family history on all but a few of the over 370 names. My goal is to provide at least a 4 generation genealogy on each person interred there.
I can provide e-mailed copies of my photo and the history that I've compiled, and I'm willing to visit local cemeteries with perhaps the exceptions of Barrow Memorial Gardens and Evergreen Memorial Park - they are just too large for my arthritic and flat feet.

RE: Ephraim Downer
Very glad to help.
And I know what you mean about wanting to sit down and chat for awhile.
Sadly I think the answers would be so much different than the image I have of my ancestors. I have learned that some stories would have been best left in the past.
I have added pictures for those also in his plot.

Hello Jim. I'm helping my brother-in-law with his family research. You have added a wonderful photograph of his gg-grandfather, James Victor Andrew. I wonder if you can tell me where you got the photograph? My brother-in-law would very much like to get a copy. Do you happen to have other Andrew family photographs? Thanks so much for the work you have done in photographing the cemetery. We have found lots of your photos on the memorials we are looking for.

Thank you so very much.
Also, you state that you may have some history on some of the folks. Anything on her?

Move the food and bar outside. It's really the simplest and easiest way to sway people out of the house without asking. A party, especially a holiday party, revolves around alcohol and food. This way, after your neighbor has had one too many eggnogs and drops a plate full of nachos on the ground, the cleanup is a snap.
Light things up. Outdoor lighting is one of the most critical parts of a successful landscape design, but is often the first to be forgotten. The key is to create an inviting outdoor space for your guests—not a dark and foreboding exterior. The combination of the outdoor fireplace and modern table lamps is fun and unique. So fun that everyone will forget how cold they are and stop wondering why they're outside for a party in winter.
Promote outdoor seating. Parties are for mingling and meeting new people, but also for catching up with old friends. Plush outdoor seating that is arranged to encourage intimacy and conversation is always appealing. If you limit the seating you provide inside, people will be more inclined to head to the patio before diving into a deep discussion.
Reveal exterior points of interest. Curiosity and exploration are two key reasons people move through space. Create those features outside of your home to move your guests from inside to outside.
From inside the house you can catch a glimpse of the Bertoia Chairs at the end of this hall, but in order to fully understand the space you would need to walk to the end of the path. Don't reveal too much, but spark just enough interest for people to need to see more.
From inside the house you can catch a glimpse of the Bertoia Chairs at the end of this hall, but in order to fully understand the space you would need to walk to the end of the path. Don't reveal too much, but spark just enough interest for people to need to see more.
Add attractive outdoor games. A party doesn't really get going until everyone is together playing a game. And after a few cocktails and appetizers, your visitors will be eager to join in a friendly competition. With a game like bocce, a large number of people can play as well as watch. The court itself is quite elegant with gravel and clean lines, and the design complements the landscape when it's not being used.
Eliminate the threshold. Folding doors and sliding walls make the transition between indoors and outdoors seamless. Visually your eye can lead smoothly from the house to the exterior, and the effort required to open and close a door is eliminated.
Tip: Using the same flooring material for both inside and out creates a continuity between the two spaces.
Sit by the fire. This is another no brainer-especially for cool nights. Even if you haven't managed to move your soirée from the living room to the patio as quickly as you would have liked, as soon as the outdoor fire pit is lit, everyone will congregate. Make sure there is plenty of comfortable seating as most people will want to stop and enjoy the fire for as long as possible.
A majority of fire pits today are gas, so there is no hassle building the fire. And if you use concrete logs or other nonflammable material instead of wood, there is no smoke. This is great not only for your lungs, but also for the environment.
See more fire pit ideas.
See more fire pit ideas.
Enjoy the hot tub. For more intimate gatherings, or as the night wears on and the temperature drops, the hot tub is a perfect way to warm up and get to know your friends really well. You can always just put your feet in if donning a swimsuit sounds more like a punishment than a party. Having a spa near the entrance to the house is convenient for the swimmers as well as for people who choose not to partake but still want to join in on the fun as the party draws to a close.
Do you dare entertain outdoors in winter?

The guide is great, she never stop talking about the history of the country and each one of the places of the tour. Getting to Mt Fuji and to the other locations of this tour can be a bit tricky on your own, so the tour takes care of that for you which is great. Lake Ashi is wonderful and well Mt Fuji depends a lot on the weather it can be beautiful or just a great view of pure fog. Overall I highly recommended this tour.
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Great trip which my family of 5 enjoyed! The pick up was punctual and our tour guide spoke good English. The tour covered quite a bit for a one day trip. We wouldn't possibly be able to do that on our own though we really wish we had more time in each area of attraction. We only had half an hr on mount fuji itself to take photos and similar at other points of attraction. Lunch included a Japanese bento set consisting a variety of Japanese items like rice, sashimi, tempura, udon, miso soup etc. Weather on Mt Fuji was minus 1 deg C in early December...considered cold for someone who comes from a country which is practically summer throughout. Do bring your winter clothing. Also, do remember to bring some sweets or take motion sickness pills if u are prone to motion sickness. My children were not used to the long bus journey up and down were a bit nauseous towards the end of the bus journey. That aside, we enjoyed our trip.
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
It was a fantastic experience! I felt the organizer's concern over our safety when they cancelled our Lake Ashi cruise due to bad weather condition. But the moment the weather changed, they immediately informed us that everything will proceed as per schedule! That was really a well applauded announcement.
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
They don't call Mt. Fuji shy for no reason, it tends to hide within clouds! That being said, we were lucky enough to get very brief peaks of the mountain through breaks in the clouds thanks to our guide and driver. They took us through areas with the best visibility of Mt. Fuji and even briefly stopped on the side of the road where the mountain became visible. Our guide was AMAZING!!! Funny and extraordinarily helpful! Lake Ashi was also breathtaking! Definitely don't think we could have had such a nice experience visiting shy Mt. Fuji without this tour!
Doing what: Mt Fuji, Lake Ashi and Bullet Train Day Trip from Tokyo
Absolutely outstanding, though my advice to book the option without lunch, as the set lunch is an allergy minefield (nuts, shellfish etc). There are plenty of alternative places to eat, so don't worry about not being on the booked lunch. Bear in mind Mount Fuji can be significantly colder than ground level, so take a coat. The views are beyond outstanding. In winter, Fuji has its trademark snow cap, but in summer it doesn't so bear this in mind if you are looking for photos. The Lake Ashi cruise is very nice, and the views from the top of the cable car were so breathtakingly beautiful a woman in our tour group was reduced to tears. The bullet train back is short (c.1 hour) but a great taste of a Japanese icon, the shinkansen 'bullet' train.

Very friendly tourist guide and best experience at hakone, 5th stage Mt Fuji, cruise at lake ashi and finally breathtaking view of Mt Fuji and surroundings during cable car rides. A very great experience that remain in my mind forever.

This was a great trip for us - especially the cruise on Lake Ashi - a very very scenic and fantastic experience. Unfortunately because of fog we could not see Mount Fuji, otherwise a wonderful trip.

Amazing experience. Beautiful scenery. Everyone was very nice. Tour leader was especially friendly and knowledgeable. Bus driver did an excellent job avoiding some nasty traffic and returned us to our destination in a timely fashion. My only complaint is that the temperature on the bus was very inconsistent. For some reason the air conditioning vents were not blowing air with enough velocity to cool the vehicle and at some of the lower altitudes it became quite stuffy and warm.

Great day trip from Tokyo. Coach was very comfortable and the tour guide was wonderful. The whole day was very well organised, we felt we saw a lot and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We opted not to go with the Lunch option and happy we did.....found a great Pork Katsu curry in an upstairs cafe right on Lake Kawagashi. Mt Fuji lived up to expectations as did Lake Ashi and the Bullet train ride home. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Our tour guide was fantastic, she made the long bus ride entertaining and educational. We were lucky, Mt. Fuji was visible! We had a lovely lunch and went on to a thrilling tram ride in Hakone and boat ride on Lake Ashi. It was a spectacular experience and I'm not one for group tours.

A nice full day trip to Mt. Fuji with an included boat trip on Lake Ashi. Unfortunately the weather did not let us see the top of the mountain, but it was still a very fun trip. We chose to return by bullet train, which was a very interesting and new experience. Worth the extra charge.
Doing what: Mt Fuji Day Trip including Lake Ashi Sightseeing Cruise from Tokyo
Everything was efficient!
Getting to the meeting point (the bus station) was a little challenging, but we gave ourselves plenty of time to get lost and still get there on time.
Our tour guide, Mr Take was exceptionally. Great entertainer, comedian, singer, etc. he took care of all our needs. (My friend is vegetarian) he made sure she got the right plate. He even wrote down on a piece of paper our diet preferences for our future use.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature was not cooperative. Station 5 on Mt Fuji was extremely foggy. We only caught a glimpse of the mountain from the road.
Lunch was excellent.
Lake Ashi and the cable car ride was fun, although also foggy. It was fun to suddenly run into treasures you couldn't see. :)
Tokyo Station is huge and confusing. Wish we got to personally say goodbye and thank you to Mr Take. But I dropped something important and had to rush back. We lost sight of him and the other guests by the time we got back.
A very friendly woman helped us find our way back. She even walked with us to our exit even though she looked like she was in a hurry.
Wasn't expecting the Bullet train ride. Luved it! Luved the whole experience!
We got back late afternoon. Enough time for us to take the subway and see Ginza and Shabuya in action at night. Stumbled into a delicious Ramen restaurant in Shabuya, unfortunately I can't remember the name. I can still taste the soup. It was delish!
Great way to see and experience many things in a short amount of time.

Of the 3 Viator tours we did on our trip, this was the best. If you are staying at the Shinjuku Washington Hotel, there is a checking area in the lobby to walk you to the bus. The bus we had was nice and the AC was cool, which is important as our tour date was July 24 (90 deg F/70% humidity). The bus took us to the Hamamatsucho bus station where we boarded another bus to Mt. Fuji. Our tour guide was an expert on Mt. Fuji having been a hiking guide for 30+ yrs. His English was quite good and he regaled us with the history of Japan, working in the political and religious events which tied in nicely to Mt. Fuji's importance in Japanese society. We stopped every hour or for bathroom breaks, shopping, etc. We stopped first at the Mt. Fuji visitor center for a quick rest-stop before heading up the mountain. The sights were wonderful. We stopped at the 5th station where there is a small shopping village and had about 45 minutes of free time. From there we headed to lunch at a beautiful restaurant and had a wonderful lunch of tempura, rice miso soup and pickled veggies--we all left full. We proceeded to Lake Ashi and caught a 15 minute ferry to another shopping area where a gondola took us over Hakone--not to be missed! We returned to Shinjuku at approx. 8pm. However, a lightning storm moved in, lighting up the sky and soaking the area. We stayed in the air conditioned bus until it let up (slightly) which was really nice of the bus driver and tour guide. Note the bus did not drop-off at the hotels at the conclusion of the tour--it ended, rather, at Shinjuku station,
All in all, this was worth every penny and wouldn't hesitate to do it again. The lunch alone was $20-25 buck per person, not to mention the gondola and ferry rides. The ride was smooth and cool and the guide was great. One thing to note is they plan the itinerary out, so it is advised (strongly) to stick to the allotted times at each stop.
Doing what: Mt Fuji Day Trip including Lake Ashi Sightseeing Cruise from Tokyo
