This family tree research centers on the families of Modesto Montes Alcalde and Marie Louise Franco, my grandparents on my father's side. It traces these families in both directions and across the Atlantic ocean to Spain and Italy where the families originated. Modesto Montes Alcalde is my grandfather and was born in Aldeire, Spain (near Granada) in 1900. He came to the USA at age nine with his family (Father: Juan, Mother: Carnation or Delores). His sibblings were Carnation, Manual, Delores, Frank, Juan, and one who died young. His father was Juan. His mother's maden name is Montes. Marie Louise Franco is one of 8 children and the first of her sibblings born in the USA (somewhere in Oklahoma). Her sibblings were Luci, Jeanne, John, Cathrine, Margaret, Lorence, Antoinette. Her father (Guiseppe of Santa Anna di Valdiere) and mother (Marie Giordana of Entraque) were from small towns in the French-Italian Alps (as noted) near Cuneo and Limone Italy. In early June of this year (2001) my father, brother, sister (Monte, Vincent, and Lisa) and I will be traveling to France, Italy, and Spain to visit family. I am looking for additional information, and will share all I know as well. |

Juke's Evan Lamb Has $60,000 Worth of Gear Stolen, Help Catch the Crooks
Photo by Teajay Smith-Piersal via facebook.com/Evan.Lamb.39904 |
As he was walking back to his idling truck, a Latin male in his 20s with a ponytail and black shorts was sprinting toward it. The thief jumped in, slammed the gas pedal, and took off with Evan hanging onto the door.
For the local sound man and guitar player in The Big Tasty, Juke, and Crimson, it signalled the instant loss of 15 years of purchases, not to mention his work vehicle.
We here at Crossfade spoke to Evan about how it happened. Check the cut for a full list of the stolen gear. And help catch the crooks.

So, what exactly happened?
It was actually kind of dumb on my part. My car battery was dead so my wife came to the gas station and gave me a jump start and I needed to put coolant too cause the car was overheating, so I had to leave it still running cause you have to have it on to put in the coolant so we went around the side of the gas station where the clerk was asleep in the store to buy some coolant. I felt a shitty feeling for leaving my car on and then as I'm walking back to it I see a guy sprinting to it to jump in. So I start running and I grab the door, but he gets away, so I chased him for a few blocks in my wife's car. I ran a red light and then flagged down two cops, and they gave chase, but they only went for 2 blocks, and they didn't know who they were following in the first place, but I could see the guy getting away.

House of Campari Commissions
Art has always needed patrons and House of Campari fits the bill quite nicely. The Campari Commissions for 2007 were recently on display in Miami, featuring the Fallen Bierstadt by Valerie Hegarty and the Mosaic Mask (XXX) by Nathan Mabry. Hegarty's piece is a reconstruction of a landscape by Albert Bierstadt that she pushes several steps further, into destruction. Mabry creates a mask out of coloured pencil and mylar, then embellishes the piece with Swarovski crystals. Featured along with the commissions was an exhibition of works from New York and Los Angeles galleries called Distinctive Messengers, as well as an amazing site-specific work by Andrew Schoultz.

Very cool looking sling, and maybe worth the price... but I cannot afford $60-75? FOR ONE SLING!
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has seen a buckle with a sideways d-ring like this anywhere? I have plenty of slings and I would like to configure a couple like this myself. Any ideas?

I practice yoga because it helps with my flexibility. Of course, that's a little like saying that lighting a candle helps with heating your house, but I digress. The point is, flexibility is generally a good thing, and that holds true for 3D ICs and their test strategies. As discussed in the Electrical Engineering Journal, a flexible 3D test strategy that uses a "plug-and-play" architecture allows multiple tests to use the same interface, simplifying the introduction and use of multiple tests. Structuring the architecture around the IJTAG standard also makes it easier to adjust to and adopt future test features. Having a test strategy you don't have to bend over backwards to implement every time something changes? That's true flexibility.

Carpet, upholstery, and grout drying times are greatly affected by humidity and air temperature. The less humid
the home and
the home, the less time is required for the flooring to dry.
For example, in summer with low humidity rates outside, carpets usually dry within 5 to 7 hours. However, during "monsoon" season, this can be hindered greatly. When the humidity can go up to 100%, drying times are increased. The same goes for winter and fall. The less humid it is outside
inside the home, the shorter the drying times. Typical times to dry in winter usually are 7 to 15 hours total, sometimes overnight, but rarely any longer.
Any time we have snow or rain outside, the humidity is 100%. If high humidity is in the weather forecast, it is usually a sign of one of these. High humidity inside the house has a direct impact on drying times. When you heat the
air of your home, as in winter, you can increase the humidity in your home.
I offer the following tips which work well to decrease the drying times:
• Turn your heater down in the winter (or off). Heating the humid air increases the drying time! We add water (steam) when cleaning your floors, and heating the air only reduces the effectiveness of the evaporation process required to dry the floors. The old wives' tale of "turning up the heat" to dry the floors is false! It has quite the opposite effect! The interior of your home becomes hot, moist and subtropical which are not effective drying conditions.
• Use your ceiling fans to circulate the air. Moving air will aid in faster drying times.
• Use of box fans or stand fans will move air around and will decrease drying times.
• In summer, with the air conditioning on, moist air will be removed which will help decrease drying times, especially if used in conjunction with fans and moving air by cracking open doors and windows.
• Opening doors and windows will help circulate the air and decrease drying times greatly. Even opening windows a few inches even in winter will help get out condensation and humidity and aid in faster drying times.
• Keep foot traffic to a minimum while floors are drying. In most cases, I groom a carpet for final appearance and to assist in drying. When carpet is groomed, the nap or fiber is standing straight up, and it has a better chance of drying quickly. When you walk on it when it is damp, you crush and mat down the fibers again, and it will take longer to dry. Staying off from it longer while drying decreases the dry time.
• Turning your air conditioning or your heater off and turning on the "fan only" switch in warmer conditions (like in spring, summer, or fall) will help circulate air in the
, resulting in quicker dry times. This is one of the most effective tips I have for you.
In closing, any way you can increase
air and create escape paths for moist, humid air, the more likely you are to see shorter dry times.

IPS & IPC2 Phosphor Imaging Plates
Exclusively designed for industrial use, targeting all classes in both ASTM and CEN standards, the IPS and IPC2 Imaging Plates from GE Inspection deliver superior image quality, exposure speed and enhanced life. The combination of a wide dynamic range and exposure latitude results in substantial reduction of downtime and greater throughput. Both plates are the latest high-tech components of GE's computed radiography systems for industrial applications.
Discover Superior Image QualityThe storage phosphor in the IPS features excellent homogeneity and short response time. The previous pixel is fully faded before the laser stimulates the next one and, as a result, a very high level of sharpness and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is obtained. The IPS imaging plate is ideal for weld inspection, castings, and honeycomb structure applications. The storage phosphor in the IPC2 features high absorption efficiency with excellent homogeneity. This results in an extremely fast plate with higher image quality and better SNR than our traditional IPC. The IPC2 imaging plate is ideal for erosion-corrosion inspection applications. Enjoy enhanced durability and lifespanBoth IPS and IPC2 plates are protected by an Electron-Beam-Cured (EBC) topcoat. This is proprietary technology for hardening a pre-polymer lacquer coat into a high-density polymer shield protecting the phosphor layer. The results are superb resistance to mechanical wear and extensive immunity to chemical cleaning solutions. Overall, you'll enjoy greater return on your investment. Profit from greater efficiencyThe storage phosphors on our CR plates have a wide dynamic range, resulting in high tolerance conditions and a larger degree of freedom in selecting the used exposure dose. In addition, the wide exposure latitude of these imaging plates in many cases allows the visualization of all information with a single exposure - e.g. thick and thinner material. Combined, these features have the effect of drastically reducing the retake rate, helping substantially reduce downtime and/or facilitate higher throughput. |

Patrick Kluivert has reflected on similarities between Ajax and Barcelona's style of play and their focus on youth being key to success.
The Dutchman developed through Ajax's youth system before eventually finding himself at Barcelona later on in his career.
In seeing the current Barca side praised for their passing style, the forward chose to reflect that it was a similar style that his Ajax side had in the mid-1990s.
"We [Ajax] took 12 or 13 passes without the opponent touching the ball for my goal in the 1995 Champions League Final," remembered the retired striker to COPE.
"The youth team is very important for the players and for how you will play as a first team. It is very important from year to year to promote players and that they play in the same system.
"Barca's cantera is key for me in this point. Xavi, Cesc, Iniesta, Puyol, those guys were there when I was, they were knocking on the door to progress to the first team.
"I knew they were going to get into the world of football far easier too. It is an honour and a great feeling to have played with these homegrown players at the best club in the world."

Police Stop, Handcuff Every Adult at Intersection in Search for Bank Robber - ABC News
Police said they had received what they called a reliable tip that the culprit in an armed robbery at a Wells Fargo bank committed earlier was stopped at the red light.
We didnt have a description, didnt know race or gender or anything, so a split-second decision was made to stop all the cars at that intersection, and search for the armed robber, Aurora police Officer Frank Fania told ABC News.
Officers barricaded the area, halting 19 cars.
Cops came in from every direction and just threw their car in front of my car, Sonya Romero, one of the drivers who was handcuffed, told ABC News affiliate KMGH-TV in Denver.
From there, the police went from car to car, removing the passengers and handcuffing the adults.
Most of the adults were handcuffed, then were told what was going on and were asked for permission to search the car, Fania said. They all granted permission, and once nothing was found in their cars, they were un-handcuffed.
The search lasted between an hour and a half and two hours, and it wasnt until the final car was searched that police apprehended the suspect."

Steve Moran, who blogs about senior housing, shares this post about Haciendas at the River, a new kind of senior living community that he believes his father, a retired ER doctor in his mid 80s who is still very active, would love.
Moran probably speaks for most seniors when he writes, "[My father] would hate living in the traditional bingo, Bible study and birthday, let us entertain you to death senior housing community."
Strong words, but wouldn't many of today's seniors and their family members agree? While bingo, birthday parties and Bible studies are enjoyable for some, shouldn't there be more to the last years of life than these activities alone?
The increasing popularity of senior living communities that integrate lifelong learning programs or have partnerships with local universities affirms it, along with the rise of "active adult communities" and other unique independent housing options (some urban and most offering a plethora of opportunities for engagement and enrichment) for the 55+ crowd.
The Haciendas community in Moran's post shows the kind of senior community that many seniors want: one that is well-designed in its layout, look, care, programs and services — and sophisticated, respectful, nurturing and age-appropriate in its approach. Read more about it here.
Talk back: What does your ideal senior community look like?

City Centre
Kuala Lumpur
Tel: 60 3 2051 1320
Concierge.com's insider take:
Malaysia's instantly recognizable icon is the Petronas Towers, the tallest buildings on Earth from 1998 until 2004, when Taipei 101 surpassed them. Designed by the Argentine-American architect Cesar Pelli, the towers have a gleaming glass-and-steel facade which echoes motifs of Islamic art. The most dramatic feature of the buildings is the sky bridge that connects the two towers 558 feet above the ground. Entrance is free, but only 800 tickets are given out each day. Unless you can score tickets from the concierge at your hotel and avoid the queue, the best way to see the Petronas Towers from the inside is to attend a concert at the Dewan Filharmonik Petronas, the gorgeous concert hall on the mezzanine level, which is home to the world-class Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (www.malaysianphilharmonic.com).
Petronas Towers bridge open Tuesdays through Sundays.

Bleach Technique Christmas Card
By: Terri Sproul, www.terrisproul.com
Use Terri's bleach technique to highlight a Christmas stamp on a colored background. This is a great way to create a special homemade Christmas card.
- household bleach
- Paint brush
- Stamps: Candles by Stampotique
- Water
- Twinkling H20's: Fuzzy Peach, Bashful Blue, Key Lime, Egyptian Gold, Cranberry, Icy Iris, and Golden Opal
- Black embossing Powder: Fine black by Stewart Superior
- Embossing Ink: The Embosser by Stewart Superior
- MasquePen
- Embossing Gun (heat Gun)
HINT: Test your black cardstock with the bleach. All cardstock bleach out just a little differently. Some turn a brown color some will bleach out almost white… I like the white look the best for the project.
- Stamp "Candles" using embossing ink and black embossing powder onto Black cardstock and heat emboss.
- If any of your images you want to remain black – add MasquePen to these parts of your image. I masked the dots on one of the candles and the diamond on another. Make sure you allow your MasquePen to dry (it turns clear).
- Using a Paint brush and your bleach – bleach all of image you want to paint in later. Bleach will take a few minute to dry before doing the next step. If cardstock is not bleach out as much as you need try adding a second coat of bleach.
- Now the fun part. Color in your image using Twinkling H20's. To use Twinkling H20's just add water to your brush or paint jar and start color in the lines. The embossing ink help keep your color in the lines.
- After you have colored in your image. Remove MasquePen to revile the black cardstock again. Matt onto Gold cardstock and add to card base. This technique works great on a scrapbook page too.
- If you can find a mini image of the same stamp you used on your card. Stamp smaller image onto your envelop and color with Twinkling H20's to complete your card.

I've not had the pleasure of playing a Stand O'Food game before this instalment. I greatly wish I had though if they are anything like this latest episode! For the time management fan, Stand O'Food 3 is an excellent purchase indeed.
As an easy explanation of how addictive it is, I ran out of battery on my iPhone numerous times. I don't generally do this with games unless they're a bit special (I'm looking at you Final Fantasy III). Stand O'Food 3 might seem like a pretty typical time management game but it's the game's ability to get everything just right without messing up that makes it a cut above the rest.
Much like Supermarket Mania and other titles made by G5 Entertainment, there's a fairly loose story told as players progress through the stages. They're attractively displayed a bit like a comic book but it's the same old story as always. Still, it's not like the Time Management genre is particularly renowned for its storytelling ability so it's no great loss.
Three game difficulty levels are available encompassing all skill levels. All elements of the game are gradually introduced across the 75 levels (not forgetting the 12 bonus levels) ensuring that everything feels constantly fresh. While players might start out flipping burgers, it's not long before other food types appear with levels centered on creating lasagnes, desserts and salads too. It's a small touch but it keeps things interesting. 90 recipes in all can be created with accompaniments also available such as French fries, coffee or sodas.
As is often the way with such games, a series of upgrades can be purchased. These can be something as simple as a speed boost for the main character or a box that means customers can takeaway their meal and, more importantly, there's no need to pick up the items in the correct order thus shaving valuable time off the clock and increasing the odds of an expert ranking.
It's simple stuff but compelling. It's very satisfying to achieve a perfect score after serving numerous customers correctly and efficiently in a row. Controls are responsive and accurate with only a couple of minor blips in terms of layout. Upgrading the plates at the bottom of the screen can be a little fiddly with the upgrade text seemingly not as responsive as other areas. I kept mistapping. A similar problem occurs when customers move down the line and their request is obscured by the adding up of how much money has been made from the previous customer.
These are minor problems though as overall Stand O'Food 3 is an excellent Time Management game. With plenty to do, players will certainly feel like they have excellent value for money. It's a pleasure to play.

Anyone who's just starting a new job wants to make a big splash, hit the ground running, impress the boss and the new colleagues. Joseph Haydn was no different. He was 29 and just starting his job working for Prince Esterhazy. Haydn was pretty savvy. To start things off right with the Prince's musicians, Haydn wrote a symphony where everybody got big solos. On today's show, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra makes a big splash with that symphony, Haydn's sixth.
Apr 29
In an era when the average life span was thirty-something, composer Jean-Philippe Rameau lived to the ripe old age of 80. He composed one of his last works, the opera "Les Paladins," at age 76. But don't call it stodgy or doddering. If anything, it was ahead of its time. On today's show, Nicholas McGegan leads the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra in the orchestral suite from Rameau's "Les Paladins."
Apr 28
Many composers have disavowed their early works. Some have gone so far as to destroy everything they had written up to a certain time. Antonin Dvorak was one of them. He called his early years his "mad period," and even went so far as to take a knife to the manuscript of one work and scratch out the date on the title page. We'll hear that work, his third symphony, on today's show.
Apr 27
If you're a fan of the piano, you'll want to tune in to today's show, where the ivories will get a workout. We'll feature Stephen Hough playing Rachmaninoff with the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Marc-Andre Hamelin going solo, playing music by Bulgarian composer Pancho Vladigerov. And Jon Kimura Parker joins cellist Lynn Harrell for a Beethoven sonata.
Apr 25
For an actor, making it big in Hollywood is the epitome of success. But for a classical composer? Most consider the concert hall more of a barometer of success. Many composers have dabbled with composing music for films, however. On today's show, we'll hear music for the big screen, by Dmitri Shostakovich (pictured), Sergei Prokofiev, and Toru Takemitsu.
Apr 24
British conductor Sir Roger Norrington has been making waves in the music world for decades. He's passionate about getting orchestras to play his way. Norrington's current boss at the Stuttgart Radio Symphony said (with a wink and a grin) that if they had known what they were getting themselves into, they probably wouldn't have hired him. Luckily for them, they did. Today's show features music from Norrington's 75th birthday concert, last month in London.
Apr 23
Pianist Charles Wadsworth is the long-time Director for Chamber Music at the Spoleto Festival USA. He'll be retiring after this year's Festival. National broadcasts of chamber music from Spoleto are co-produced by South Carolina ETV and Radio, and WDAV Classical Public Radio. On today's show, Wadsworth and pianist Wendy Chen team up to play Dvorak's "Silent Woods."

There are at least six million stories of suffering and death from the Holocaust. Many composers were among the victims. Their names might be unfamiliar to you: Marcel Tyberg, Leo Smit, Pavel Haas (pictured), Erwin Schulhoff, Viktor Ullmann. We'll always wonder what might have been, had they survived. Today, on Yom Hashoah, we'll feature music by victims of the Holocaust.
Apr 20
Whatever the enigma is behind Sir Edward Elgar's "Enigma Variations" - and we've had theories posited on "Performance Today" - it's still magnificent music, a grand showcase for an outstanding orchestra. Peter Oundjian will lead one, the Toronto Symphony, at a concert in Toronto.

All this week on Performance Today, we've been featuring the Los Angeles Philharmonic and outgoing music director Esa-Pekka Salonen. Salonen gives up the podium at the end of this week. He's made a big impact on the orchestra and the city of Los Angeles in his 17-year tenure there. On today's show, Salonen leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic in music by Sibelius and Mussorgsky.
Apr 17
Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen steps down from his post as music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic this week. And today, we'll wrap up our week-long look at Salonen and his tenure at Los Angeles. On today's show, he leads the Los Angeles Philharmonic in Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," in concert at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles (pictured).
Apr 16
According to conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen, there are "no simple solutions" to playing Beethoven. No corners to cut, no easy way out of the dilemmas posed by his music. On today's show, Salonen, violinist Viktoria Mullova, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic do it the hard way, and the right way, in their performance of the Beethoven violin concerto.

It was 250 years ago today that the great Baroque composer, George Frideric Handel, died. He was born a German, but lived and worked in England for most of his professional life. Much of the world is observing the day today, and celebrating the life and works of Handel. Today's show features some of his greatest music, from concerts all across the country.
Apr 13
When the Cleveland Orchestra performed Gustav Mahler's second symphony ("The Resurrection") in Vienna, it was by all accounts an incredible performance. When it was over, the audience erupted in a 13-minute ovation. One critic called it "a Resurrection for the ages." Tune in today to hear the spectacular finale of Mahler's second, from that magical night in Vienna.
Apr 11
On today's show, we'll feature special programming, in observance of Passover and celebration of Easter. Join us, and let us make your weekend special.
Apr 10
This time of year, the word "passion" takes on a special meaning. It's not about love or desire. It's about suffering and death. Today, in observance of Good Friday, we'll feature passion narratives by two very different composers: Bach's St. Matthew Passion, and Osvaldo Golijov's St. Mark Passion. They offer two very different takes on the same story, written three centuries apart.
Apr 9
Handel's great oratorio, "Messiah," is mostly thought of as a Christmas piece. But it was written for, and had its premiere in, the season of Easter. On today's show, we'll feature music from a performance of "Messiah" given just last week in Austin, Texas. Craig Hella Johnson leads the voices of Conspirare and the instrumentalists of the Victoria Bach Festival Baroque Band.
Apr 8
In 1867, Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen wrote a play about a young man who spends his life avoiding responsibility. The play features amorous milkmaids, a runaway bride, a cave full of trolls, and a sojourn in the deserts of Egypt. The drama never became one of Ibsen's biggest hits, but the music that Edvard Grieg wrote for it did. On today's PT, Grieg's "Peer Gynt" suites 1 and 2, performed by the North German Radio Philharmonic.
Apr 7
Violinist Nikolaj Znaider says there's nothing harder than playing Mozart. Embodying that perfection that sprang from Mozart's mind and heart and fingers is "an extraordinary task." Today, Znaider proves that he's up to the job. We'll hear him perform Mozart's fifth violin concerto with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, on tour in Omaha, Nebraska.
Apr 6
Gabriel Faure was a good ol' boy from the south. The south of France, that is. But the description fits. Charming, easy-going, pleasure-loving. Liked to smoke and drink. Not the sort you might think to be a church musician, and to compose one of our loveliest sacred works. But he did both. On today's show, to mark the Easter season, we'll feature a performance of Faure's beautiful Requiem.
Apr 4
One of the great questions of life is what, if anything, comes after it. Humans from the beginning of history have wrestled with the question of what happens to us when we die. Artists are no exception. On today's show, we'll hear composer Richard Strauss' view. In his tone poem, "Death and Transfiguration," Strauss paints the picture of a man's life, death, and ultimate transcendence into a life beyond.
Apr 3
Out of death, comes life. That's both a philosophical statement, and a practical one too. When the earth is scorched by fire, some of the first things to regenerate are the wild flowers. On today's show, Michael Torke's piece from 2005 called, "After the Forest Fire." And after that, the wild flowers spring up. The Cincinnati Symphony plays "What the Wild Flowers Tell Me," by Gustav Mahler.

Instruments like this Stradivarius are among the most expensive in the world. Some of them are worth millions. But some musicians are choosing to alter their instruments with tattoos and piercings. Sound crazy? Some think so. But others insist they're just personalizing what they consider an extension of their own bodies - their instruments. Tune in to today's show for the full story. Plus, we'll hear our very own PT poem, written for us by poet C.K. Williams.

<Return to school/daycare bulletin board suggestions>
I came up with a cute idea a few years ago. I was so tired of putting up the same bulletin boards year after year I decided to do something simple yet funny. Here's what you will need... Black bulletin board paper, 1 piece of red construction paper, and a few sheets of green construction paper to spell out the words, "Rudolph In The Dark" and "Merry Christmas." I cut out a circle big enough to see but not to big... coffee cup size. Put it right in the middle. Around the top spell out "Rudolph In The Dark" at the botton put "Merry Christmas." That's it. Very simple and funny. (For border I used garland.) Everyone loved it.

Are you a purger or a hoarder? Either way, important financial documents are probably being ignored. This can result in late fees, overdraft charges and other costs that could be prevented if an organization system was set in place. Use Get Organized Week as an opportunity to start fresh and try some of these tips from Alpine Bank to organize your personal finances.
- Choose a system that works for you. There are many free web-based solutions that allow you to record your bills and payments online. Other people choose to use the classic paper and pencil method. Whichever method you choose, commit to it.
- Get the tools you need. This may mean getting folders to organize each payment into categories such as taxes, credit cards, investments etc. It is important to establish a uniform way to store all of your paper bills and documents to prevent them from being misplaced or ignored.
- Pay your bills as soon as they come. Getting the payment out of the way helps to prevent papers from piling up on the counter where they can easily be lost or thrown away. Many late fees are charged because the bill was simply forgotten about.
- When possible, pay bills online or through email. Digital payment systems help cut down the clutter as well as the chances of losing a paper document. An automated payment system can be handy for fixed monthly costs too!
- Keep everything in one place. Some people choose to organize bills into folders or a single notebook while others scan and save bills into a designated computer file. Even something simple like keeping receipts in a shoebox or designated desk drawer can help keep track of your files. There are many different methods so you can choose which is best for you.
Organizing your finances may seem like a daunting task but once you get in the swing of a certain method, you will notice that it is an easy way to cut back on the clutter and stress that fills your life.

A wise man once said, "If it's not broke, don't fix it!" Sadly, far too many people have either forgotten that saying, or simply lack the ability to differentiate between that which is broken, and that which is not. It's like a commercial I recently saw airing on a major cable station. A woman apparently hires a young boy to hit a baseball through her window so that she will be able to replace it with a window of a different brand. My first question is, "Is one brand of windows really different from another?" I mean, I am no window connoisseur, but really. I mean, I have never walked into a room and thought to myself, that window must have cost them a fortune! Anyway, the premise of ruining something that was fine the way it is, in order to create something different is a premise that has been concerning me lately.
The other day I received a packet consisting of several magazine articles, a book, and fifteen audiotapes. No, I didn't sign up for "hooked on phonics". I apparently signed up for "hooked on breeding". See, my friend Kristin sent me this package of "Focus on the Family" literature. The materials have titles like, 'Help for the Homosexual' (not an atlas to the major fashion mecca), 'Love Must Be Tough' (not a how-to book for S&M lovers), and 'Coming Out of Homosexuality' (not a science fiction novel). As easy as it was for me to look at the information and laugh, it was much harder to sit down and read. By the time I finished, I was upset, physically ill, and extraordinarily frustrated. The materials made comments that referred to the "homosexual addiction", making me wonder if straight people have some sort of "heterosexual addiction". Yet, nowhere is it explained why one sexual orientation is normal, and the other falls into the negative stigma of an addiction.
I also read quotes that discussed how Jerry Arterburn found god "after becoming a Christian and leaving homosexuality." I was left thinking, why are the two mutually exclusive? I am a gay Christian, and I don't understand why others have such a difficult time seeing the two as a pair. Unfortunately, the literature didn't end there. A book called 'Parents in Pain' gives suggestions to help homosexual children deal with guilt, anger, frustrations and feelings of inadequacy. The method of coping, suggested by the author, is not to teach children that they are normal people with natural feelings, or to help them understand that they can lead a happy and proud lifestyle with a life partner, similar to any heterosexual person. The method advocated by John White encourages parents to tell their children that they should be guilty, angry and frustrated, because they are inadequate in the eyes of God, and must change their ways. Now, kick me if I'm wrong, but from a purely psychological standpoint, doesn't that method only allow those self-destructive feelings to fester, resulting in self-loathing and depression? Especially when one examines the fact that these children don't feel guilty because they are gay, they feel guilty because society is telling them that they shouldn't be. So rather than correcting a negative, and incorrect convention, the book advocates the reinforcement of the same stimulus eliciting the symptoms the book claims to cure.
Worse yet, is the book entitled 'Where Does a Mother Go to Resign?" In this book, by Barbara Johnson, a mother learns to cope with the crippling of her husband, the death of her two sons, and the homosexuality of her third son. I read this thinking, " how sad! Death, disease, and... homosexuality???" How do these events even compare? Her husband becomes confined to a wheelchair, never to walk again. Her son dies, only to be followed by the death of another son. Then, after all that has happened to her, she has the nerve to put her son's coming out on the same level as the previous? The world is a very sad place when a parent views their child's maturation and self-discovery in the same way as the death of that same child.
Still other books use a different route all together. Anne Paulk, a wife, mother and 'former lesbian' tells her story, in which her homosexuality stood in the way of her relationship with God. The publication CitizenLink uses this story to tell us that homosexuality will sever relations with God. They overlook the fact that Anne is saying that she let her relationships interfere with her religion, not her homosexuality. Anne says that she tried going to group meetings for GLBT students, where "she fell into a relationship with someone who quickly became a priority in her life, over work, over family and friends...over God." The gender of her partner is irrelevant. She fell into a relationship that was unhealthy, and destructive to her spiritual needs. This fact is so apparent that Anne herself doesn't even acknowledge the gender of her partner in the statement. Anne is a classic case of someone who has a need for balance, not for heterosexuality. What Anne's story can tell us, is that religion is important. What it does not tell us, is that all homosexuals disrespect God. Why then do organizations such as Focus on the Family use stories like this to wage war with the homosexual community? Anne also tells us that she felt a void in her life because she wanted a life partner, and knew that a homosexual relationship wouldn't work. That void was caused by the social construction that homosexual relationships cannot last, or cannot result in happiness and marriage. This construction has been disproved time and time again, yet the article uses the image of this void to paint the picture that homosexuality is inherently unnatural and wrong, and can only be cured by some form of heterosexuality. Is it not obvious that Anne had a lot of misinformation that was causing her to feel the void she has? Is it not also obvious that her void could have been filled with acceptance, education, and love, rather than a denial of her heart?
Another article by CitizenLink tells us that, "You might be shocked to know that most Christians who speak against homosexual behavior are motivated more by love than hate." While I do think that many of these people do have good intentions, I also feel that they are misinformed, and do not take the time to hear any side of the story but the side they have grown up with. Most gay men and women know what the bible says, and have also taken the time to talk with other pro-equality individuals who have helped them understand that being gay is not some sort of irrevocable sin that will send you straight to hell. Most gay people have taken the time to learn about the issues and have come to terms with their spirituality in coordination with their sexuality. The people who are trying to 'educate' them about religion, and change them, generally know no other viewpoint than the one they have been taught. They accept it as infallible, and do not go in search of, or accept other interpretations or reasoning.
The article also says that "studies show a high degree of destructive behavior among homosexuals, including alcohol, drug abuse, and emotional and physical violence." The description sounds like that of a country western saloon, but whatever. It goes on to say that "it even occurs in homosexual-affirming cities like San Francisco, proving that it's not based on a lack of acceptance, but the visible response to a broken heart." They speak of San Francisco as if it were a vacuum in and of itself, and that once you set foot within it's city limits, you suddenly forget all of the times you were called a fag, all the times you heard about gay bashing and violence towards homosexuals, and instantaneously forget every hetero-centric theme in any novel or TV program or children's story you ever read. The logic is so ridiculous that even I had to giggle, despite the tears rolling down my face. I cried because I couldn't stand the thought of some parent sitting down with this literature, and teaching their child that they are some sort of abomination, and the only way to be deserving of God's love is to deny themselves love and affection from a person they love, because of the gender of that individual.
Finally, the literature all concludes with a message of hope! Yes, all you dykes and homos can be CURED! HALLELUJIA! THANK YOU JESUS! THEY HAVE DISCOVERED HOMO-CHEMO... it's a sort of chicken soup for the fairy's soul! WAKE UP! I am a happy, proud, upstanding member of my community. I have wonderful friends, and a wonderful family. I smile today because I am ok with me! There was a time when I was depressed, but that was because of people like these authors who told me that there was a reason to be depressed! Once I was able to gain the perspective I needed, I realized how wrong they were, and how wonderful the young man I was becoming could be, if only he smiled when at his reflection in the window he was passing by. So please, don't shatter my window just so you can fix it. It's not even broken. Besides, I like what I see in it, and through it, so let's open the curtains and live!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ON APRIL 21st!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AWESOME SISTER SHELLY ON APRIL 21st TOO!
I believe in you!

"I really enjoyed this. My husband didn't like it as much as I did, but thought the salad went really well with the scallops."
Reviewed Jun. 27, 2010
"This recipe was absolutely delicious. The flavors blended beautifully. Sea scallops were just too expensive, so I used precooked shrimp, which I had in the freezer. I prepared the ingredients for the sauce early in the day and cooked it per the recipe, adding the shrimp just long enough to heat through, and served it as a complete meal with french bread on a 100+ degree afternoon."

text: A discovery of early hominid remains may be one of the most significant palaeoanthropological discoveries in recent times. Dating to between 1.78 and 1.95 million, at least two partial hominid skeletons in remarkable condition, as well as abundant fauna, unprecedented in its quality of preservation, have been recovered. Background In March of 2008, Prof. Lee Berger of the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa, undertook an exploration project with Prof. Paul Dirks, then Head of the University?s School of Geosciences, in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage site outside of Johannesburg, in order to place known fossil sites onto a map that would permanently record their location. The area is critical as nearly a third of the entire evidence for human origins in Africa comes from just a few sites in this region, and is arguably one of the most explored areas in Africa for evidence of human origins, having been investigated continuously since the first discoveries were made there in 1935. Prof. Berger used Google Earth to plot the various caves and fossiliferous deposits, and to locate potential new deposits. Google Earth allowed him to share information with other scientists, and its 3-D capabilities allowed him to begin to identify what caves might look like from satellite images. At the beginning of this project, there were approximately 130 known cave sites in the region and around 20 fossil deposits. Soon he began finding dozens of previously unidentified caves and fossil sites. By July 2008, through using Google Earth complemented by significant legwork on the ground, Prof. Berger had discovered almost 500 caves that scientists had not previously identified. Included in this were more than 25 fossil sites that had been unknown to science. In late July, Prof. Berger noted on Google a series of caves running along a fault line that that appeared to have clusters of trees that typically marked cave deposits. On the 1st of August 2008, whilst Prof. Dirks mapped the recognised cave system, Prof. Berger proceeded into the uninvestigated area with his dog Tau, a ridgeback, who accompanied him on almost all his explorations. Almost immediately he discovered a rich fossil site that was unknown to science, in the vicinity of more than threedozen caves that had been unrecognised by previous researchers. On the 15th of August 2008, Prof. Berger returned to the site with his post-doctoral student, Dr Job Kibii and his nine-year-old son Matthew. Within minutes, Matthew had discovered the first remains of early human ancestors - a clavicle, or collarbone. Remarkably, Prof. Berger had done his PhD thesis on this very bone, when he had studied the hominid clavicle, scapula and humerus. On the opposite side of the block, Prof. Berger discovered a jawbone with a canine tooth of a hominid. The find would soon be prepared and identified as part of a partial skeleton of a juvenile hominid, around 9 ? 13 years of age. On the 4th of September 2008, Prof. Berger returned to the site with more than a dozen colleagues, with high expectations of recovering more fossils. After four and a half hours, the team had not discovered a single element that they could conclusively be identified as hominid. As the group took a break, Prof. Berger went to the edge of the small pit in the middle of the site and noted a bone sticking out of the rock. It was clearly the humerus of a hominid. Astounded, Prof. Berger went down into the pit and realised that it articulated with a scapula and as he put his hand against the wall, two hominid teeth literally fell into his hand. Remarkably this second find was not the same individual that Matthew had found, but a second skeleton of an adult female. In the months to follow the site has produced arguably the most remarkable assemblage of early human ancestors ever found, including what are probably the most complete skeletons of early hominids ever discovered and by far the most complete remains of any hominid dating to around two million years ago. The fossils, one juvenile male, one adult female, occur together in near articulated state in the sedimentary remains of a deeply eroded cave system, where they were laid down by a single debris flow, indicating the timing of their death was closely related, and occurred shortly before the debris flow carried them to their place of burial. A further important aspect of the find is that a male and female were found together, and are respectively a juvenile and an adult. The sex of the fossils can be determined from the morphology of the jaws and hips, whilst the age of the juvenile has been determined from its dentition making it about 11 to 13 years old in human terms. In contrast the adult female has strongly worn teeth suggesting an age in her late 20?s or perhaps even older. Both individuals are about 1.27cm tall. Through a combination of faunal, U-Pb (Uranium ? Lead) and palaeomagnetic dating techniques, the age of the rocks encasing the fossils has been determined at 1.95-1.78 Ma. Dating involved a double blind U-Pb date, conducted independently in laboratories in Bern and Melbourne. This is a first in the dating of flowstone deposits in the Cradle of Humankind. Once an absolute date had been obtained, palaeomagnetic analysis was used to constrain the age of the debris flow encasing the fossils. Over 130 elements have been recovered to date, and more are emerging. The partial skeletons are described in two papers in the prestigious journal Science, due to be published on the 9th of April 2010, as a new species of early human ancestor called Australopithecus sediba (sediba meaning natural spring or wellspring in Sotho). The species is suggested to be a good candidate for being the transitional species between the southern African ape-man Australopithecus africanus (the Taung Child, Mrs. Ples) and either Homo habilis or even a direct ancestor of Homo erectus (Turkana boy, java man, Peking man). The species has long arms, like an ape, short powerful hands, a very advanced pelvis (hip bone) and long legs capable of striding and possibly running like a human. The skeletons are found among the articulated skeletons of sabre-toothed cats, antelopes, mice and rabbits. They are preserved in a hard, concrete like substance known as calcified clastic sediments that formed at the bottom of what appears to be a shallow underground lake or pool that was possibly as much as 30 to 50 meters underground at the time. It is not known how these precious skeletons came to be in this pool, but it appears that they may have taken a significant fall. No carnivores or scavengers reached their bodies. Remarkably it is interpreted that the individuals described died at, or around the same time as each other, and thus would almost certainly have known each other in life and may very well have been related. An international team of over 60 scientists is involved in the project. The authors on the Science papers are: First paper Second Paper |

Next SEC Chairman Can Prime IPO Pump
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- "I don't think more than a few IPOs have happened over the past couple of years below 500 million dollars."
That observation by Robert Kaplan, Jr. -- a partner with Kaplan Voekler Cunningham & Frank -- about the dearth of small initial public offerings by small and mid-sized U.S. businesses, is the best argument for the Securities and Exchange Commission and its next Chairman Elisse Walter to speed up the agency's rulemaking to implement certain aspects the bipartisan Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, signed into law by President Obama in April.
The JOBS act is meant to spur investment in smaller companies by easing securities registration requirements and reporting requirements, while also opening up fundraising away from traditional markets by allowing entrepreneurs to raise up to $1 million through crowdfunding.
Going public without registering
The JOBS Act expands the exceptions to Regulation A of the amended Securities Act of 1933, enabling small businesses to raise up to $50 million in capital through public offerings every 12 months, without registering with the SEC. The old limit was $5 million. Kaplan Voekler Cunningham & Frank partner Thomas Voekler says "the JOBS Act is getting back to main street investing and getting smaller companies listed on an exchange. We're talking about small to mid-sized companies being able to raise capital, which has been closed to them. The hope is that the SEC can continue the forward press on getting these rules out, to reduce the regulatory burden to raise capital, hopefully on a more Main Street, regional focus." Sounds great, right? The JOBS Act had very strong support from both parties in Congress, with the Senate voting in favor by 73 to 26, while the House of Representatives voted 380 to 41 in favor, but the SEC is dragging its feet on the implementation of the law. The SEC is required to implement its final regulations per the JOBS Act within one year of the bill's signing, which makes sense, considering that the bill is meant to jumpstart a very slow economic recovery. However, for Regulation A, Kaplan says "the market is hoping to see the rules finalized by the second quarter of 2014."
