Healing & Hope By Kevin Holten (reprinted with permission). Special to The Dickinson Press - 12/21/2008. Involuntary reinvention, that's what Linda Little experienced on July 7, 1996. She and her husband, Parke, had just left their Longmont, Colo. home for Denver International Airport when a preoccupied teenager blew through a red light and knocked her into a new dimension. Gone was the old Linda, the obsessive purchaser for the city of Longmont's Department of Finance. Left behind was a blank slate who would eventually become a contemplative artist. Alone was their 15-year-old son, Justin, who had lost not only his ride home from the airport, but also the mother he once knew. "I used to be a workaholic," Little said. "I lived and breathed work. But things changed." Using cognitive therapy, the Mapleton Rehabilitation Center in Boulder, Colo. attempted to piece her broken mind back together for 18 months. However, her brain would never be the same, no matter how much they tried… The complete article is available via this link.

House Passes Economic Stimulus Package; Arts Funding Intact Action Alert: Contact Senators The House of Representatives on Wednesday, January 28, passed the economic stimulus legislation – H.R.1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – with provisions intact allocating $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts. All Republican House members, joined by 11 Democrats, voted against the measure. TAKE ACTION: The Senate expects to vote on its version of the stimulus legislation the week of February 2. If you have not yet done so, please contact your senators urging their support to retain the $50 million allocation for the National Endowment for the Arts when the economic stimulus legislation takes final shape by including the provision passed by the House, with 40% of the NEA funds going to state arts agencies and the remainder distributed in direct grants to fund arts projects that preserve jobs in the nonprofit arts sector. Reach your senators by phone through the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121, or by email at http://www3.capwiz.com/mygov/dbq/officials/. Key points: Public funding for the arts is a sound investment in states and communities facing tough economic conditions; The arts generate jobs, tax revenues and consumer spending; and NEA funds to state arts agencies will enable state support for the arts to continue where a depressed economy has resulted in revenue shortfalls. The complete Legislative Alert is available via this link.

Arena Season 3 armor sets are on the PTR {WoW}
Oct 16th 2007 12:03PM Because to pigeon hole a set of gear without allowing others that use other specs is wrong. I should be able to keep my current prot spec and have fun in arena and other areas. They should be able to make a set for prot that wont cross into pve but will allow us to use our given attributes(lots of stam/block/and such) to allow us to do both without making us take our PVE gear into arena which is unfair.
Arena Season 3 armor sets are on the PTR {WoW}
Oct 16th 2007 11:47AM yeah still no prot PVP gear for warriors. So meh why exclude a vital part of the game from pvp by not giving us gear that benefits our attributes instead of some cookie cutter gear that is just for DPS and ignores stats a tank could use to help them PVP/arena. We do have a crapton of life and such....if its about living the longest I think we have that purty much handled. Why should we have to PVE for gear and not be able to also PVP.

I think to leave Heroic Strike out of your system is a huge error. You see heroic strike is on a separate cooldown from the rest of your tanking abilities. That means you can cast say sunder and if you have enough rage hit HS right after words to have them both hit for a huge amount of threat. Instead of waiting for the GCD to come back for using the rest of your abilities. So with that in mind my usual cycle is....
Sheild Slam
revenge/sunder(whatever is up first)
Heroic Strike (right after revenge/sunder)
SBlock or sunder till i can use devistate
Then after every sunder/SS/revenge/Sblock i hit HS if I have the rage.
This system allows me to create a rage dump into an ability that has amazing returns. You will find your threat will go up substantially faster using this method. It is especially useful in boss fights were you are full of rage and need something to dump into. HS after every ability=ALOT of threat.
So HS is viable and important

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: A Few Wishes {WoW}
Jul 27th 2007 6:22PM I think an addition for a prot warrior to regen health would be so beneficial. In fact a ability that helps all specs do that. Convert rage into health. I realize this is a druid ability but here's my take on it. Have the ability have a hangup. One would be it could only be used outside of combat. That means after a fight you convert all your leftover rage into health to allow you to continue on.
Make it a percentage and the hang up would be that if you used it all on execute or something else then your SOL. But if you have half life and a lot of rage left after any fight. You can then take that and convert it. Such as 300hp per rage point or something. Makes grinding and farming so much easier.
Another addition I would like would be what you said. Shield spikes suck and arnt worth the ore used to make them. If they improved them to allow us to do damage with our shield as you said I would be so much more happy.
Lastly, get ride of the damage increase in berserker stance!!! Its an annoyance and no one likes being in that stance because of the increase in damage they take which doesn't give a great enough damage increase to be beneficial at all. Its uncalled for. Buff the stances more, make them truly what they stand for. Make the buffs make more sense.

Jun 21st 2007 3:44PM Thick southern I can stand. Its the northern Boston or New York accents that drive me crazy. Baaaar, Caaaar. Its like reliving Good Will Hunting all over again!!!
Breakfast Topic: How did you pick your class? {WoW}
Jun 21st 2007 3:38PM I rolled A warrior back when Whirlwind was the S*$# back when you could have a 60 help you get it in the 30's. And back when you could kill people at Tauren Mill. I chose a dwarf warrior because I love dwarfs! And I really enjoyed axes. I miss PvP back then. Now I tank tank tank. The warrior class forces you to learn all the other classes when you tank. It requires a lot of leadership and knowledge so you don't wipe. My lil tank taught me all about WoW. though it was a PAIN to level up it still wasn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. I will never drop him. I loved my warrior.

Kosta Koufos Corey Brewer Andre Miller Love the 08/09 Fleer set signed, so these are welcome additions...not necessarily working on the set, but trying to get as many signed as I can. Then we have the bigger piece... Kyrie Irving 8x10! Missed Irving when he was signing at the Cavs game I went to last year and have been kicking myself ever since.

October 25th, 2011 - Category: Uncategorized
As parents, it's so important for us to teach our children to be kind, charitable and responsible – all at the same time. So when MyJobChart was created, it was built with a SHARE area. The SHARE area allows children to donate some of their allowance (or other rewards) to various charities.
This opportunity to be charitable is entirely up to the child. They can make their own choices about how much of their reward they should keep and how much they are willing to give to others.
Because we believe charity comes from seeing the needs of others, MyJobChart offers several charities to choose from. And now, we're delighted to announce that Operation Smile has just joined our list.
Operation Smile is an international charity that helps children with facial deformities. With the money they receive from contributions, Operation Smile provides these children with corrective surgeries. This charity was formed in 1982 as a response to the many children born with cleft palates or cleft clips.
Operation Smile is currently serving in over 60 countries, providing children with the help their families can't afford to get for them. It's a life-changing surgery that could mean the difference between success in life and struggling.
If you're looking for a job chart that incorporates other opportunities (such as a chance to learn charity), then you need to try Myjobchart.com. It's free, it's easy, and it provides your children with a great chance to learn new attributes.
October 24th, 2011 - Category: Press Release
October 17th, 2011 - Category: My Job Chart
As you may know, MyJobChart.com is attracting the attention of kids, parents, and experts everywhere. We love it when another parenting guru takes an interest in what we're doing. Our latest triumph was to get Michele Borba, a renowned educator to take a look. And she had some wonderful things to say.
Want to see a few of those comments? Great. Here is a press release with quotes from Michele that will soon be posted in publications around the country. Enjoy:
For parenting solutions, many look to internationally renowned educator, Michele Borba, Ed.D, whose books, blogs and seminars provide answers to virtually every problem encountered when raising children.
Now, Borba points to the free website, MyJobChart.com, as the answer for teaching children to work, to be responsible and to understand the value of money.
"My Job Chart changes the entire conversation about how to teach kids the fundamentals of work and money," Borba says.
From her expert viewpoint—as an NBC contributor who has appeared more than 80 times as parent expert on the Today Show and countless other talk shows and whose recent book, titled The Big Book of Parenting Solutions: 101 Answers to Your Everyday Challenges and Wildest Worries, shares a compilation of her parenting advice—Borba says, with MyJobChart.com, kids have an excellent source of motivation.
With MyJobChart.com, "kids can now be inspired to get off the couch and start achieving more," Borba says.
This was exactly what My Job Chart founder, Gregg Murset, was seeking for his own six children when he hit upon the idea of the free online chore chart.
Murset said their house, with six kids, ranging in age from 3 to 13, was "out of control. We tried everything from paper on the refrigerator to everything else."
Nothing seemed to work to really motivate his children to stay on task and none of the existing systems seemed to encourage goal-setting and real achievement.
My Job Chart was an instant hit, not just with Murset's children, but for the 110,000 who have used the online system over the past year since its inception.
"MyJobChart.com is technology," Murset explains. "That's what kids like. It's what they really respond to."
On the site, icons make it possible for even the youngest children to use, and MyJobChart.com allows parents and children to personalize the list of chores and to use a built-in reward system. As the children complete their jobs, they earn a certain number of points, to be "saved" or "spent" right away to "purchase" a reward supplied by their parents, or to be "shared" as a donation to a charitable organization.
While My Job Chart allows parents to access an Amazon store link where they can purchase reward items, the site is also set up so families can create "free" rewards—anything from extra TV time, one-on-one time with mom or dad or a family bike ride.
Jennifer Cross, of Fort Worth, Texas, says she was hooked on the free My Job Chart site from the start. Using it with her three children, ages 3, 4 and 6, she has been pleased with the educational aspect of the site.
"I'm a high school teacher and a lot of kids have everything done for them. Parents are not taking the opportunity to teach their kids about work and responsibility," she said.
She says her children have responded well to the intrinsic rewards and immediate feedback the site offers.
"With My Job Chart, seeing things being checked off and completed is often reward enough for my kids," she said. "Then we have created 'extra jobs' where my boys get most of their points" to earn items from Amazon.
"Now they like to work and they come to me asking what other chores they can do," Cross said.
Bottom line, Murset said, "MyJobChart.com is just a fun, easy way to instill work ethic and build character over time. And, it works."

October 12th, 2011 - Category: Chores
As you know by now, MyJobChart.com was created as a convenience tool for frustrated parents. Little did we know there were psychological benefits to such a system. For our blog post today, we are excited to share some advice/thoughts from Pediatric Psychologist, Dr. Lynne Kenney.
Dr. Lynne Kenney is a mom of two, a pediatric psychologist and author of The Family Coach Method. She is also a great supporter of MyJobChart.com. You can learn more about Dr. Kenney at www.lynnekenney.com.
Here is what she wrote for us:
If each morning you hear yourself saying, "I said, brush your teeth," or "I said, make your bed," consider the value of clear expectations.
Instead of making a battle out of it, consider your approach. Are you clear in what you expect? Have you clarified if the expected action is a personal or family contribution? Do you assert your expectations modeling peace not anger? Are you enhancing family relationships over asserting control?
Teach your children the value of contributions early on by teaching daily routines, tasks and chores. Be clear, be concrete and be consistent.
Teach, model and expect peacefully and calmly, your expectations, posture and tone will guide the outcome.
STEP #1 Identify Daily Routines For Your Children
Helping your children to identify the components of their daily routine is one step toward practicing independence and responsibility.
"We use task lists to keep the children focused on their brief responsibilities each morning," says Diana from Chicago.
Developing independence takes 1) Knowing the expectation 2) Having the skills to exhibit the expected behavior and 3) Being recognized for the success in order to increase the likelihood of exhibiting the behavior next time.
Establish a daily task routine. Make play dates, sports and family fun dependent on their accomplishing specific tasks. It's very simple, you give to the family and the family gives back.
STEP #2 Assign Daily and Weekly Chores
Chores are separate from personal tasks (part of a daily routine) as they are done for the good of the community. Chores teach children the value of living in a group, a community, a family.
I look at chores as valued family contributions. When you live in a home where everyone contributes it is a clean, happy well-run home that is enjoyed by all.
Chores are a part of making expected contributions to the household. Children do not earn money for doing what is expected. They are expected to be a productive part of the family, their tasks are a piece of that, just as listening respectfully and being kind are expected.
Susan from Milwaukee offers this advice, "At our house, the kids are expected to help the "family community" for which they do not get paid money. Just as I make their breakfast or dinner and do their laundry, they have ways in which they contribute to the community. Making their bed, wiping the sink after they brush their teeth, setting the dinner table, and clearing their plates from the table are typical every day expectations."
Jane from Scottsdale agrees. "We have "chores" listed on our fridge, the kids do some each day and some weekly. If we have a big project or something outside the chore list we need done we might offer $2-$5 for that extra activity mostly to support the children's piggy banks.
"On Saturday there is a pretty good chance that our preschool and school-age children will help out, as they can earn valuable spending money for their participation. This money goes to things they care about like horseback riding, going to the water park and having movie night at home. Without hard work there are no horses and there are no trips to the mall, that's just the way it is," Jane says confidently.
STEP #3 Model Your Values
If you are going to give allowance for everyday household tasks, make sure you establish a specific amount, be consistent in giving it out each week and make sure the children complete the tasks assigned to earn allowance.
It is important to also suggest that children do not need to "consume" everything they like. Children can enjoy things in a store and leave them in a store. Life is not about accumulating stuff it's about caring for people.
Kim from Boston offers some clear advice, "When we go to the store, I do not agree to buy the kids small toys or objects that they can purchase with their allowance. We have a ten dollar per week maximum of allowance earned and they can use that to buy the newest Polly Pocket or Lego toy."
"Further, they are encouraged to put one dollar in savings and one dollar in our "community jar" to give away at the holidays to families in need. If every child contributes, they often have more than one hundred dollars to give away at the holidays, which teaches them to be compassionate as well as generous. They learn the value of hard work early with a spend, save, and donate system," asserts Kim.
Consider delineating what are expected family contributions in your home. Create a morning and evening task list for each child. Keep it simple with (3-8) discrete tasks. If you wish to help your children learn about money management, develop a chore list, assign fees, and encourage your children to spend, save and give. Teach your children the value of contributing to the family in the early years.

As you're well aware, being a parent includes a lot of responsibility. This blog is intended to cover all aspects of parenthood. We've been delighted by the interest the MyJobChart.com blog has received. And we're even more delighted to share an article from a guest blogger and avid reader of this site…
Submitted by Dan Gilbert on behalf of Primrose Schools. For over 25 years, Primrose has helped individuals achieve higher levels of success by providing them with an AdvancED® accredited, early child care services and preschool education.
Young children are often enthralled with the goings on in 'mom's' kitchen. The act of cooking or preparing a meal can stimulate all five senses, which makes the kitchen an exciting place to be. Many parents are afraid to let their children in the kitchen while they are cooking due to the potential hazards but this needn't be the case. Dr. Mary Zurn, vice president of education for Primrose Schools says kitchen time can be a great way for families to regain some lost, but valuable, family time.
Throughout the nation, kitchens are a gathering place for families. Stories of the day are shared, jokes are told, lessons are learned and quality time is spent. What many parents don't take into account is that children often learn a sense of responsibility when they are asked to participate in small, daily chores.
By following these simple tips, parents can ensure that the kitchen is a safe, fun, learning place to be for children of all ages:
1. Give your child tasks to complete. Young children can easily tear lettuce for a salad or snap peas for a side dish. Sprinkle salt or pepper into your child's hand and let them add it to the pot. Allowing your young children to help in a meaningful way will give them a sense of accomplishment. If you have toddlers, let them 'cook' along with you on their own play oven or give them a bowl and spoon and let them bang away. Not only will your toddler be occupied but you'll know exactly where they are while you're cooking.
2. Establish rules. Make sure that children understand that the stove top and oven are hot and shouldn't be touched without permission. Hands should be washed before and after touching any food stuffs and place child safe covers over any gas knobs. Make a habit out of facing pot handles inward so that they aren't inadvertently hit and knocked over, spilling hot liquids, sauces or food onto little fingers and toes.
3. Teach new skills. Once your child has mastered easy tasks like tearing lettuce, help them build upon their skills. For example, teach your child how to handle a knife by allowing them to cut through a soft stick of butter. Children who are able to read can help you follow recipes by reading them aloud to you and, when older, by using those recipes themselves.
4. Relax! Before you allow your child into the kitchen, particularly to help you, take a moment, remind yourself that there are bound to be spills and mistakes and then go for it. Time in the kitchen should be fun and mistakes are easily corrected. Your child's time with you in the kitchen can easily be ruined if you are too hard on them.
5. Don't forget to clean up! This is a good way to instill the importance of engaging in daily chores. If your child sees first hand what it is like cleaning up the kitchen alone, they will better understand that it will make everyone's lives easier if they share in the tasks. Sweeping, doing dishes, and cleaning counter tops are all daily activities that need to be done, as well as after cooking or baking. Other activities, like taking out the trash, are important for a child to learn and take part in doing.
When your time preparing the meal, snack or dessert in the kitchen is complete, make sure to compliment your children for doing such a good job and watch them swell with pride. Before you know it, you're child is going to be offering ideas on what you can make together next; encourage their creativity and help foster a love of cooking that they can carry with them into adulthood.

kitchen remodel
melsdealJanuary 31, 2013
In pic #2-I'm having a problem with the upper cabinets on the left of the stove looking 'cut-off' by the fridge. These are Kraft Made 36". The rest of the cabinets are Martha Stewart 'Weston'. In pic #1 I don't like the fridge not being totally surrounded by cabinetry. Pic #4, I feel like this bar thing isn't working. The idea of the bar was extra seating and to hide kitchen 'things' from the living room. I think the person on the right end might feel like they are sitting behind the cabinet! We want an eclectic look with, mid century modern/rustic/classic. We will have 7" white oak plank flooring in a medium brown/gray tint. We have ordered the Restoration Hardware's Areo (pic) table. I feel like I have too much of the Weston stripe thing going on, or maybe just too many cabinets! What do you think? Behind the fridge is a laundry room.Thank you for any and all input in advance!
The whole space is going to be re-done including the fireplace, stairs and paint. We recently covered our popcorn ceilings with new sheetrock except in the LR where we want to do some sort of thin, weathered wood planks (14.5') ceilings and room size is 16'x20'.
Twisted Minds Custom Designs
Have you considered putting a refridgerator end panel on, and pulling the cabinet over fridge out flush to give a more finished look from living area?
Thanks Twisted Minds-I have! I included some renderings with that done in my post. (See attached designs) That done I'm wondering if the design looks unbalanced because half of the cabinets (see pic) on the left side of the stove are covered by the fridge. Wondered if we should do a 12" frosted garage there instead of 36"?
Twisted Minds Custom Designs
The renderings look like your including a narrow pantry type cabinet and shifting the fridge over, what I'm suggesting is basically a 3/4" wooden panel that matches the cabinets but coveres the fridge side to give a custom built in look. Most cabinet offer these as an add on just like the crown moulding or toe kicks, you could also have the panel crafted with an cathedral arch type upper and boxed lowered raised panel to match cabinets. Could you shift the stove over 12" and do 24" frosted uppers on each side and a 12" raised panel upper on far left to balance it?

Post Combine Mock
1. Brandon Harris, CB, Miami
5'10 / 191 lbs Watching the draft, I paid particular attention to the CB. Harris was great during the drills. I remember Deion Sanders picking him out as the top CB during the drills. The only thing that knocks Harris for the Steelers is his size and lack of zone coverage experience. He needs to learn zone coverage to play in Pittsburgh. If the Steelers believe that he can adjust to that, he will be the pick. 2. Marcus Cannon, OG, TCU 6'6 / 358 lbs This is the guy I've had here. No reason to change it, since he did not fail at the combine. 3. Jerrell Powe, NT, Ole Miss 6'2 / 335 lbs The Steelers need a suitable replacement for Casey Hampton. Powe has the size to hold up the point of attack and anchor the line. He will not be required to play immediately in Pittsburgh and can have time to develop into a great NT. 4. Bruce Miller, OLB, Central Florida 6'1 / 254 lbs Bruce Miller was dominant at the collegiate level. In 2010 he had 13.5 tackles for a loss and 8.5 sacks as well as 2 interceptions for touchdowns and 2 more passes broken up. 2009 he racked up 18 tackles for a loss and 13 sacks. The reason he goes this low, is because teams don't think he is athletic enough for the NFL. Tomlin said he likes guys with tape and pedigree... here you go. 5. Joseph Barksdale, OT, LSU 6'5 / 325 lbs I've seen Barksdale's name slip lower and lower and I don't know why. It gives him more value, but I believe he can play. He is one of the most technically sound lineman in the draft and he has good size. His knock is athleticism, but I believe that he will be able to come in and be a right tackle and eventually transition to left tackle with NFL conditioning. 6. Josh Thomas, CB, Buffalo 5'10 / 191 lbs. Thomas is a late round prospect. He was mainly a cover corner at Buffalo, but he was good at it. He had 29 passes defensed in only 24 games. His last season he came in run support for 5.5 tackles for a loss and 2 quarterback sacks. 7. Alex Henery, K, Nebraska 6'2 / 177 lbs Just need a solid kicker that can be relied on. |
Re: Post Combine Mock
that would be a dream draft but there is no way Cannon drops to the end of the 2nd or Powe drops to the end of the 3rd. Cannon will be an early 2nd rounder since he is the 2nd rated guard after Pouncey. there is a good chance Powe will be a 2nd rounder as well.
Re: Post Combine Mock
Alright... How about this.
2. Jerrell Powe, NT, Ole Miss 6'2 335 lbs Pete thinks he should be higher :wink02: This is also because there are few true NT available in the draft. 3. William Rackley, OG, Lehigh 6'3 / 309 lbs A small school guard that has lots of upside. Would need to get used to a lot higher level of competition, but has a good skill set. |
Re: Post Combine Mock
the reason you stated is why he will go higher then the end of the 3ed were he deserves to go. alot of teams run a 3-4 now and there just isnt alot of true NT's coming out.
Re: Post Combine Mock
I like the picks a lot, but...the Steelers really need to address that offensive Tackle position high in the draft. Colon is gone, and Flozell would be in his last year. They really are thin as well in terms of talent at the cornerback position.
I personally would like a draft like 07 where the steelers took two linebackers back to back but this time do it with the cornerback position. In any scenario two corners and one OT in the first three rounds I will be happy. Grab a Blocking Tight End in there somewhere, and some D lineman late to develop on the practice squad at it should be a great draft. |

Roy Abraham Kallivayalil, national president of the Indian Psychiatric Society, called for urgent intervention of Chief Minister Oommen Chandy in the state of affairs of the Mental Health Centre (MHC) in Thiruvananthpuram following the death of yet another inmate within a span of four months.
Talking to The Hindu on Sunday, Dr. Abraham said the murders had brought disgrace to Kerala. In a similar circumstance in which Satnam Singh Mann was killed there in August this year, a 64-year-old orphaned and mentally challenged man, identified as Prakashappa, was also killed at the MHC on December 4.
Dr. Abraham said the murder was a crime against humanity. Prakashappa, who was roaming around at Kilimanoor because of his illness, was picked up by the police and was produced before a Chief Judicial Magistrate and then admitted to the forensic ward of the MHC for treatment. While that ward had only 24 cells, there would be at least 60 to 65 patients each day in these cells.
It meant that there was more than one patient in each cell. Often, these patients became violent and foght with each other. Dr. Abraham alleged that the failure of the hospital authorities to post enough personnel to supervise the ward was criminal negligence.
This meant that they gave little value to the lives of the innocent patients. The State had taken custody of Prakashappa and it had a duty to protect him and other hapless people like him. Since the death of Mann in similar circumstances, nothing had changed at the hospital and nothing had been done in the past four months to prevent such incidents.
"This shows utter negligence on the part of the authorities. The mentally ill were being ill-treated and left unattended," Dr. Abraham said. He said at least Prakashappa's murder should be a final wake-up call. Facilities at MHC, Thiruvananthapuram, should be improved on a war- footing.
More psychiatrists had to be posted and all the vacant posts of nursing and para-medical staff should be filled up urgently, and new posts sanctioned for forensic cells and wards. A modern block of forensic psychiatry should be constructed. Not more than one patient should be in a cell. All others in the ward should be covered by 24-hour nursing and security surveillance.
Rather than resorting to knee-jerk reactions such as transferring the hospital superintendent, committed efforts with long-term goals, making psychiatry and mental health a priority for the State, were required. He reiterated that the Chief Minister should intervene in the matter urgently.

A great cast can't make up for an underdeveloped story in Touchy Feely, which is out on Blu-ray and DVD on December 10.
Rosemarie DeWitt plays Abby, a massage therapist. Her brother Paul (Josh Pais) is an uptight dentist, and his daughter Jenny (Ellen Page) works as his assistant. She encourages her dad to advertise to prevent his practice from failing, but business starts improving instead when Dad develops a sort of healing touch. At the same time, Abby becomes freaked out by the sight of skin and touching anyone, so she has to stop working. Allison Janney provides reiki therapy to both adults.
The film is slow-moving, but thankfully, it's short, at 88 minutes. It's written and directed by Lynn Shelton, whose previous movie, Your Sister's Sister, I haven't seen but heard good things about. The characters here seem realistic, and the performances are excellent, but there's not much on-screen but conversation and staring into space. My attention wandered, so I may have missed something, but it doesn't seem to have much of an ending either, with little resolution. The director calls it a movie about "journeys of self-discovery", but I prefer film journeys that have more visually interesting incidents and with more realization understandable by the audience.
Shelton, DeWitt, and Pais provide a commentary. There are also four minutes of outtakes; 6 1/2 minutes of deleted scenes; a half-hour of interviews with Alison Janney (more interesting than the film), Scoot McNairy (who plays Abby's boyfriend), Josh Pais, and Lynn Shelton (who sums up a lot of what we've already seen); "A Look at Touchy Feely", a three-minute summary of the film using some of that interview footage; and the trailer, as shown here. (The studio provided a review copy.)

Carolina's Accuser Settles For $35K

Posted to: Schools
The school board has struck a deal with a former Hillhouse High School administrator whose allegations of grade-altering led to a controversial investigation.
The board Monday approved the $35,000 settlement with Shirley Love Joyner (pictured), who retired a year ago from her post as assistant principal at Hillhouse.
The payment settles a defamation lawsuit Joyner filed in 2012 in state Superior Court, in which she claimed the board failed to protect her from retaliation when she blew the whistle on her principal.
Joyner went out on medical leave on Jan. 9, 2012, shortly after she filed a complaint accusing her principal, Kermit Carolina, of grade-tampering. A report found most of her claims to be unsubstantiated. She retired on Dec. 1, 2012. Carolina, who has denied any wrongdoing, served a three-day suspension in connection to four charges that resulted from the probe. He is challenging those charges through an arbitration proceeding.
Joyner charged the Board of Ed with violating a whistleblower law, Connecticut General Statutes Sec. 31-51m, which protects employees who "disclose employer's illegal activities or unethical practices." In her lawsuit, Joyner said she faced retaliation after accusing Carolina.
The settlement came as the case was headed to trial. In exchange for receiving the money, Joyner has agreed to drop her suit, saving the city the risk of a potentially costly trial. If the board of education lost in trial, it would have had to pay her legal fees as well as, potentially, back pay.
The school board and Joyner's attorney, Joe Garrison, both declined comment on the settlement. The agreement does not admit wrongdoing.
A judge on Jan. 31 dismissed a separate suit Joyner had filed against Carolina and his attorney, Michael Jefferson. They accused her of retaliating against Carolina for demanding a higher work performance.

" A report found most of her claims to be unsubstantiated."
What report is the author referring to? The Dugas Report commissioned by the Board of Education found several instances of grade tampering and improper conduct by Principal Carolina. He was punished (slap on the wrist 3-day suspension). And the suspension was not overturned on appeal.
Seems to me to be a stretch in trying to imply that Carolina was exonerated, regardless of the fact that he was allowed by the Board of Education to keep his job.

Frankly, I am sick of all these lawsuits. I cannot remember reading about other towns and their lawsuits to this magnitude. As a taxpayer I am fed up and as far as our city attorneys, I have been told by city employees that you need to just walk into the office sometime you will see them floating around drinking coffee and socializing. The two that were actually very efficient and hard working were let go a few weeks ago. What's the matter Bolden you afraid they will make the others look bad? Harp made a big mistake by not reappointing those two!

Those who comment against settlement seem to not understand the legal landscape or how the practice of law actually works. Very few civil actions go to court and most settle. That is because of the very large legal expense associated with trying a case. The board of education (or more likely its insurer) would have almost certainly run up a legal tab well in excess of $35,000 defending this case.
At the modest billing rate of $200 per hour (substantially less than many partners), the board of ed would have hit $35,000 with 175 billable hours worth of work. Pre-trial preparation, deposing witnesses, drafting and filing briefs and pre-trial preparation would easily come out to more than 200 hours. The settlement was indeed a good deal for the board and the city.
With regards to Ms. Joyner, I would've held out for more based solely on the math above. She did bring a very serious problem to light and was punished because of that. And the Dugas report does show that grade tampering occurred and Mr. Carolina was the principal at the time so the buck should have stopped with him.
Regardless, it is good that the case is settled. I hope the city and board reevaluate the findings of Mr. Carolina's suspension and keep a close watch on the progress Hillhouse has or has not made since these allegations came to light. If there has been no academic progress, the board should act accordingly.

I must say that Razzie and Atticus are among the most rational writers to this publication and I give Three-Fifths kudos for research. They use evidence and word choices designed to inform and not to insult. I hope that the new education administration is more courageous and ethical about protecting employees who report wrongdoing as well as more deliberative in choosing people to run schools. If not, we will be back to square one. Mrs. Joyner was heroic in her stance and I look forward to seeing how this nasty period in our school district and city's history ends. No person should be able to insult and degrade so many people without consequences.

BATON ROUGE, LA — A man that was wanted by LSU Police was located and arrested on campus. Scott Edward Michelli, age 43 of Baton Rouge, was arrested on a warrant for Unauthorized Entry of a Place of Business. Michelli was also arrested for Theft of a Bicycle (felony) and Possession of Stolen Property. Michelli was booked into East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.
On October 29, 2013 LSU Police received a report that a subject was found to be using a room in Patrick F. Taylor Hall, located on the LSU Campus, without permission from the University. Upon locating the subject's property, it is believed that other potential stolen items were discovered. Two of those items were brand new polo style shirts with embroidered logos and confirmed to have been stolen. That subject was identified as Michelli.
On November 4, 2013 LSU Police Investigators were able to obtain an arrest warrant for Michelli for the charge of Unauthorized Entry of a Place of Business. A flyer identifying Michelli and the charge was distributed to the LSU Community and media.
On November 5, 2013 at approximately 4 pm, LSU Police received a call from a member of the LSU Community who stated that they had seen a subject they believed to be Michelli near South Campus Drive and Highland Road.

Rating - Lives up to the Duluth Pack reputation!Review by Martin
Since I purchased mine (I went waxed canvas). I have been only pleased with this pack. It has been all over the US and Europe as well now. This has become my go to bag for almost any occasion. Work trips to other states, trips to the gun range, day pack for glacier hiking, thwart bag for a canoe trip; the list goes on and this pack performs admirably.
The side pockets are perfect for holding a Nalgene bottle. The front pocket holds me Nexus 7" tablet and sunglasses with room for a small notebook and deck of cards too. My only complaint is that I will the main compartment were a bit taller, maybe 3-4" or so. It would really let you capitalize on the versatility of this bag.
In the end, it has been a solid purchase. and I do not regret it one bit. In the last year mine has been dragged over rocks, soaked with water and frozen solid. I am pretty sure it is just getting broken in. I expect this will last for decades to come. (Posted on 12/16/2012) - Best Pack and Best Service.Review by Keith

Are you interested in OLED?
OLED-based TVs could potentially perform way better than plasma and LCD, but do you think they're worth the cost?
OLED, or Organic Light-Emitting Diode, televisions have been promised for years. With the potential for plasma-beating contrast ratios and LED LCD-beating thinness, many enthusiasts still hope for this "ultimate" technology in meaningful screen sizes.
Now, I've made my views on OLED pretty clear, but what do you all think?
Would you be willing to pay extra if the performance warranted it? What if it's a lot more expensive?

The better current-gen plasma and LCD TVs are really quite good (despite potential problems with each ), and they're also relatively cheap. Does OLED stand a chance in a market dominated by cheap and crappy flat panels bought en-masse from big-box retailers?
Looking forward to your comments below.

My mother was always forcing me to drink milk when I was a kid, though I didn't understand then the role of calcium in helping to prevent fractured vertebrae.
In those days there were lots of elderly people with quite bad hunches, which I now realize probably came from spinal compression fractures. All I knew was that I should drink the milk to avoid having that problem myself.
The funny thing is that nowadays I don't like the taste anymore, but there are loads of desserts that I can disguise it in. It's a great excuse to indulge!

Musical instruments in Etruria and in Ancient Rome
Emiliano Li Castro
The great importance of music in Etruscan civilization is attested by several ancient Greek and Latin authors. This assertion has been confirmed in recent times by various scholars, who also take into account the large number of musical instruments and the wide range of iconographic evidence that have been found at Etruscan sites, clearly showing that almost all the musical instruments that were widespread in the Mediterranean at the time were also used in Etruria on many different occasions, including public and private ceremonies, rituals, and daily life. Finally, many of these instruments were also fully adopted by the Romans.
Emiliano Li Castro is a music producer and contributor to the Italian national broadcasting (Radio RAI) from 1979 and student of Archaeology at the Università della Tuscia in Viterbo. He has published articles on various music archaeological topics and has also organised the international conference La Musica in Etruria (Tarquinia, September 2009), editing its proceedings in 2010. In the same year he started the gathering of the specialised team of European researchers, artists and craftsmen which gave birth to the European Music Archaeology Project in 2013.
Facts and Puzzles about the ancient double pipe
Stefan Hagel
Stefan Hagel will discuss the present knowledge about ancient double pipes, focusing on the Hellenic and Hellenistic world and mainly on questions of types and scales, some of which will be demonstrated on replicas and experimental reconstructions.
Stefan Hagel is Classicist at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, with focus on ancient Greek music and metre, including reconstructions of instruments and performance techniques. His most prominent publication is "Ancient Greek Music. A New Technical History". He also creates scholarly software; his Classical Text Editor received the European Academic Software Award.
Session 2: 12:00-13:30
Prehistoric Soundscapes in Scandinavia: Theory and Data
Cajsa Lunda & Åke Egevad
This lecture will focus on methods and problems for a selection of archaeological finds in the Nordic countries that are of interest to music archaeology. Some of the finds were clearly made for sound production, such as the lyre, the cow horn with finger holes and the pellet bell. In what contexts were they used and what were their uses and functions? How did they sound? In other cases we are faced with exciting interpretative questions. Is the bone tube with bevelled ends (registered as an artefact with unknown function) a shaft, a bead, an amulet, a needle case, an animal call, or something entirely different? Is it possible to determine anything? The lecture will have an ethno-archaeomusicological approach. It will be supplemented with demonstrations and performances on prehistoric sound tools but references will also be made to similar medieval finds and to popular as well as traditional present-day sound traditions.
Cajsa S. Lund is a Swedish music archaeologist, connected to the University of Lund in Scania. She ranks as one of the international pioneers in this field of research, especially North-European music archaeology. Her profile is to make the results of her research come alive for the general public.
Åke Egevad is a Swedish musician and instrument-builder who also lives in Scania. He has collaborated with Cajsa S. Lund for many years, both as musician and as reconstructor of archaeological finds of musical instruments and other sound tools, especially those made of bone, horn, wood, and leather.
What can we learn from Scotland's sixteen 4-note pibrochs?
Barnaby Brown
The Greek philosopher Aristoxenus (fl. 335 BC) wrote that early composers selected a subset from the available notes to achieve an ethical, positive effect. He chastised modern composers for using more notes and defended old composers for using fewer notes. Fast forward twenty-one centuries to the early 1800s, when Scotland's classical bagpipe music was transcribed, and we find sixteen pibrochs in circulation that use only four notes. These are substantial, elaborate compositions lasting 6-11 minutes. How do they work? What lessons can be drawn from them that are relevant to music archaeology?
Barnaby Brown is dedicated to revealing the ancient artistic traditions of Scotland's music. Brought up in Glasgow, he champions the classical music of the Highland bagpipe and leads the revival of its ancestor, the triplepipe. A regular guest of the Edinburgh International Festival and frequent facilitator of intercultural collaborations, Barnaby was a lecturer at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for five years. In October 2012, he began full-time research at the University of Cambridge funded by the AHRC project 'Bass culture in Scottish musical traditions' (bassculture.info).
Session 3: 14:00-16:00
Medieval music from Paradise. A dream tuning for your medieval instrument
Michael Shields
It is widely assumed that medieval musicians tuned their instruments using a Pythagorean temperament, leaving some musical intervals completely pure, but others quite impure or sour: fifths and fourths are tuned pure but thirds and sixths, wide. However, the actual music of medieval polyphony often moves elegantly in intervals of thirds and sixths, and researchers have sought documentation that non-Pythagorean tunings were used for this music: tunings that tempered some fifths to make some of the commonly used thirds pure and sweet. So far hard evidence of this was lacking before the late 16th century. Here I present a far earlier (1404) diatonic tuning scheme with pure thirds, easy to tune and well suited for medieval, renaissance and even some baroque music. The excited North German author presents it being sung in paradise by a chorus of birds and claims it is utterly pure- a mathematical impossibility, since his temperament makes the intervals C-E and G-B pure by tempering the fifths F-C, A-E and F-Bb. It turns out that this temperament is favoured by some modern viol consorts, who rediscovered it by trial and error.
Michael Shields lectures in German at NUI, Galway and researches mainly in the field of comparative medieval studies. Recent work with a musicological dimension includes a comparison of Middle High German Sangspruchdichtung with the Romance Sirventes; an examination of the semiotics of pilgrimage and place in 14th-century flagellant songs; presentation of new 'hidden' polyphony in a dance song by Oswald von Wolkenstein; and a survey of the surviving evidence for 13th- and 14th-century German dance songs and their performance.
Medieval Irish Instruments and Biblical Exegesis: some new perspectives
Jacopo Bisagni
Musical instruments (especially chordophones and aerophones) feature prominently in both Medieval Irish literature and art. By focusing on a small number of select case-studies, this paper will explore the way in which the verbal and visual representation of musical instruments in Medieval Ireland relates to learned religious discourse on what we could call 'Biblical organology' (i.e. the study of the musical instruments mentioned in the Bible), with particular reference to the Early Medieval Pseudo-Jerome text known as Epistula ad Dardanum.
Jacopo Bisagni studied Classics, Celtic linguistics and Indo-European linguistics at the University of Pisa, Italy, and was awarded a PhD at NUI Galway in 2008 for a thesis entitled 'Amrae Coluimb Chille: a Critical Edition'. He has taught widely in early Irish, Latin language, and historical linguistics, and his research area ranges from Celtic and Indo-European linguistics to Medieval Irish monastic literature. More specific research interests include Latin/Old Irish bilingualism and code-switching, the reception of Classical literature and themes in Early Medieval Ireland, and Medieval Irish organology. Jacopo is currently a lecturer in Classics at the National University of Ireland, Galway.
Deciphering an Ancient Code: Reconstructing Medieval Musical Improvisation and Collaboration
Norbert Rodenkirchen, flute and Wolodymyr Smishkewych, voice
The medieval transverse flute (also known as Schwegel or fife), a cylindrical tube with six finger holes, is the original form of the transverse flute, as used in ancient times as a shepherd's instrument and to accompany poetry recitals. The flute has always remained the instrument closest to the human voice and has therefore distinguished itself through its almost vocal quality. This has enabled authentic essential elements of medieval music to be recreated on the flute ever since. In addition, further information is available to the modern performer-scholar from existing or reconstructed instruments, through iconography and its careful, critical study, and by examining poetry and music which has remained from earlier times. In this lecture, medieval music specialists Norbert Rodenkirchen (flute) and Wolodymyr Smishkewych (voice) explain how they bring medieval musical repertoire back to life on the basis of the limited information available from original sources and material evidence. In this discussion Rodenkirchen and Smishkewych will explore how—by means of imagination, experience, and cumulative knowledge—singers and instrumentalists interact through improvisation, tuning, and timbre to recreate elements essential to "transcoding" for present-day listeners, this ancient code of very early musical performance.
Norbert Rodenkirchen, who studied flute and Baroque traverso with Hans Martin Mueller and Günther Hoeller at the Staatliche Musikhochschule Köln, has been the flute player of Sequentia since 1996 and also works regularly with the French ensemble Dialogos directed by Katarina Livljanic.. From 2003 to 2011 Norbert Rodenkirchen was artistic director of the concert series "Schnuetgen Konzerte – Musik des Mittelalters" in the medieval museum of Cologne where he founded Candens Lilium, a project ensemble – specializing in medieval music from the Rhineland. Additionally he has given workshops on medieval instrumental improvisation at international festivals. In 2012 he released his own third CD, Hameln Anno 1284 / Medieval flute music on the trail of the Pied Piper on the label Christophorus/ note1.
Spanish-Ukrainian tenor Wolodymyr Smishkewych is a native of New Jersey, USA. He has specialized in medieval song, chant, and new music since the 1990s. A sought-after pedagogue in medieval, contemporary, and world vocal music, he has lectured at universities in the United States, South America, Canada, and Europe. He recently joined the faculty of the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance at the University of Limerick, Ireland as director of the MA in Ritual Song and Chant. He is a member of Sequentia Ensemble for Medieval Music and of Paul Hillier's Theatre of Voices, and has performed at major festivals through Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, and South America. He has recorded for Sony/BMG, Harmonia Mundi USA, ExCathedra, and Focus records. He lives in Ireland with his partner, historical keyboardist Yonit Kosovske, and their three children.

Golden Bear Burke Mitchell pitches Temecula past South Hills 4-1Temecula Valley advances to the Ford CIF-SS Quarterfinals FridayWednesday, May 28th, 2014 Issue 22, Volume 18.
Temecula Valley played with a lot of enthusiasm and intensity against the Huskies and came up with several incredible defensive plays throughout the game. Centerfielder Drew Seelman made one behind the back grab running at full speed in the late innings that prevented a Huskies rally. The Golden Bears scored in the first inning when Drew Seelman singled and advanced to third base as the South Hills starter hit both Kyle Plantier and AJ Sawyer to load the bases. Third baseman Mitch Kemp came up and promptly sacrificed Seelman home with a fly deep to right. Temecula Valley scored three runs in the third to put the game away. Seelman began the rally as he drew a walk to start the inning. Plantier promptly doubled, sending Seelman to third. Sawyer followed with a single scoring Seelman for the first run of the inning. Kemp then hit a shot down the first baseline which was bobbled and allowed Plantier to score from third. Samari Buchanan then perfectly executed a sacrifice bunt to move Sawyer to third. That brought up catcher Nick Julh who drove Sawyer home with a sacrifice fly for the third run of the inning. "We got great pitching from Burke who took a no hitter into the last inning of the game" said Golden Bears Coach Tony Nobiensky. "When you get great pitching in a playoff game your going to give yourself a chance to win. I was happy with the intensity and the way we played today". Coach Nobiensky later named Burke Mitchell as the player of the game. The Golden Bears advance to the quarterfinals of the Ford CIF SS Division 2 Championship Playoffs against Dana Hills Friday. The Dolphins are 26-7 and are the 2014 Sea View League Champions. Sana Hills defeated Buena 3-0 in yesterdays round two playoff game. The quarterfinal game will be played at Temecula Valley at 3:15. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!
