But when he's double-crossed by his crew and left for dead, it's time for payback. Co-starring Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis and Nick Nolte, and directed by Taylor Hackford, Parker is based on a character created by Donald E. Westlake. View photos…

Everyone at Santorella Publications is extremely sensitive to the costly demands placed on piano teachers and their tenacious students. With this in mind, we decided to publish a series of Christmas sheets for easy piano with only those specific titles that you and/or your student(s) have decided to perform for their holiday concert, recital or maybe just for family and friends. Rather than purchase a large "costly" collection of songs that you may or may not have the opportunity to perform this year, we have provided an inexpensive alternative. For one low price, you can buy just that one, two or three songs that you truly want to learn this holiday season. That's three songs for the price of one! Each arrangement derives from our best-selling Christmas songbook, The Best Of Christmas For Easy Piano by Craig Stevens which is also available with or without a performance CD. If cost is not an issue and you'd like to buy this fantastic collection, be our guest, but if a big songbook is not in the budget this year, that's quite alright. Why not choose only those titles you've settled on for your Christmas performance? Here's your chance to learn O Come All Ye Faithful, Deck The Halls & The Snow Lay On The Ground published by Santorella Publications.

Felony indictment energizes Texas GOP behind Perry
Monday - 8/25/2014, 4:50am EDT
Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry's legacy has rarely been mentioned on statewide GOP campaign trails this year, and the party's nominee to replace him has questioned some of Perry's signature achievements. Amid his record tenure, fellow Republicans have even mulled term limits.
But just when Perry was feeling like governor non grata, a felony indictment accusing him of abusing his power has energized Texas conservatives, who claim it's a politically motivated attack in an important election year.
It's also put the spotlight back on Perry, who is trying to rehabilitate his political image before leaving office in January and convince would-be 2016 Republican primary voters across America he's worth a second look following an embarrassing White House bid three years ago.
Perry already earned favorable marks in conservative circles for ordering 1,000 National Guard troops to the Texas-Mexico border amid an influx of unaccompanied immigrant children. Some political observers now speculate that, if he can emerge unscathed from the criminal case against him, it could be a good gauge of his presidential viability.
"If he beats this, it's really going to help him, especially on the right," said U.S. Sen. John Cornyn's campaign manager Brendan Steinhauser, who helped organize a gathering of about 100 cheering GOP activists as Perry arrived for booking last week.
Perry, the first Texas governor to be indicted since 1917, faces two felony counts for making good on a threat to veto funds to a state prosecution unit that investigates official corruption if the Democratic district attorney didn't resign after a drunken driving conviction.
Top Texas Republicans have questioned why he'd be indicted for exercising his veto authority. Support has come from lieutenant gubernatorial hopeful and state Sen. Dan Patrick and Attorney General Greg Abbott, its gubernatorial nominee. Even U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz -- a possible 2016 presidential rival -- says he's standing with Perry.
"The party was in the midst of a changing of the guard," Texas GOP Chairman Steve Munisteri said. "But this particular situation has brought the focus back to Governor Perry and kind of reminded everyone why we like him."
Indeed, a swaggering Perry came out swinging against the indictment. When he was booked and fingerprinted last week at an Austin courthouse, he grinned in his mug shot, then cheekily tweeted about going for ice cream.
That Republicans would close ranks behind one of their own isn't surprising, but that the case would energize so many people was harder to predict -- especially since, as Perry has concentrated on positioning himself for 2016 with frequent out-of-state travel, key GOP leaders have targeted some of his pet projects.
Perry's chief selling point is keeping Texas' economy booming, yet Abbott and Patrick have both expressed concerns about incentive funds used to distribute millions to private firms as Perry hoped to lure job creators to Texas or boost promising startups. Meanwhile the Republican-controlled state Legislature last year discussed term limits, which would have made it impossible to hold on to power for nearly 14 years like Perry has.
Perry faces up to 109 years in prison for coercion and official oppression following his veto of $7.5 million in funding for the state's Public Integrity Unit, which is overseen by Democratic Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. The governor said Lehmberg had lost the public's confidence and demanded that she resign or lose the funding. When Lehmberg refused, Perry kept his promise -- drawing an ethics complaint from a left-leaning government watchdog group.
The governor has called the case against him as a political ploy, and the grand jury that indicted him was seated in Austin, a heavily Democratic city.
But Democrats note that Perry's veto came as the public integrity unit was investigating the state's $3 billion cancer-fighting agency, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas, which was a key Perry achievement before drawing bipartisan criticism for improper spending, lax oversight and lucrative awards to private companies that skirted required scrutiny. Perry's lawyers have produced an affidavit from a former Public Integrity Unit investigator, saying that no one in the governor's office was a target of that investigation.
Texas Democratic Party executive director Will Hailer says the cancer agency case exposes official corruption that's festered because the GOP hasn't lost a statewide election in 20 years.
"Republicans have to double down on Governor Perry because of what the public integrity unit was looking into," he said. "If the house comes falling down, it falls down on all of them."
Meanwhile, the governor has resumed his busy travel schedule, visiting New Hampshire, home to the nation's first presidential primary, this weekend.
Court appearances look unavoidable once he's back home. But if the current trend holds, that might not be all bad.
"Anytime you're defending against a perceived political attack, people do rally," Steinhauser said.

I know I have posted this in an earlier thread, but for the sake of newer posters I will again.
I have access to the Church Marriages for Carini, Sicily from 1599 to 1910, as well as a multitude of other records from the Stato Civile.
I very much want all of us Carinese to connect and help each other, so I started a Yahoo Carini research group to post queries, or share information. At this point you will find a comprehensive extraction of every marriage from 1737-1808 in Excel Format. I am at your disposal for lookups, you can post the details on the site http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Carini_Research/ , here, or private message me.
Best of luck to you all

And just like that a 6-run lead is cut in half.
And just like that a 6-run lead is cut in half.
Holy crap... This starting staff HATES big leads.
This series feels like the lost decade. (except they'll win 3 of 4) No lead is ever safe
How I live through that, I can't figure out.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
Come on Johnny
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
6-0 lead with Cueto on the hill is not even safe.
Cairo needs to go. Yesterday.
Miguel Cairo provides nothing of value.
I miss Adam Dunn.
I get the slow bat, loss of power, etc.
But Miguel's poor defense has been a real blow to the team this year. Much rather have Juan Castro. That pretty much sums up how bad he has become.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
But Cueto hasn't been as good lately.
That inning he allowed a home run to a rookie on his first at bat.
He then allowed two hits.
Cairo then messed up.
Then a very hard hit ball to Cozart that he couldn't handle.
Three runs. Cueto far from blameless.
Cairo - bunt single, second hit of the day.
Kelch and Brantley on the radio are simply terrible. Hanigan's line drive out to RF sounded like a sure base hit the way Brantley made it sound.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
He's played very well at first base. He hardly ever plays third and hasn't really hurt the club there.
He is playing second as a third string emergency second baseman and made a terrible play. That I'll agree with.

text: New York WunWun's on-demand helpers can now tackle deliveries for local businesses May 13, 2013 7:36 AM Devindra Hardawar 0 Enterprise companies tackle mobile marketing automation slightly differently—and that's why they're on top. Register today for this free VB Insight webinar with AEG's VP of Social and Marketing on May 28th. WunWun's helpers can do almost anything for you in Manhattan, like snag a cupcake from your favorite bakery, recommend a great jazz bar in Soho, and even wait for the cable guy in your apartment. Now businesses have a way to take advantage of WunWun's army of helpers for deliveries. The New York City-based company is today launching Power, a platform for on-demand deliveries for stores that don't yet offer any delivery service. Stores can also use Power for branded deliveries, giving customers more of a luxury delivery experience. "[Power] kind of happened naturally, we built WunWun and sent helpers to these stores — even the people who worked there asked us to do their own deliveries," said Lee Hnetinka, WunWun cofounder and chief executive, in an interview with VentureBeat. WunWun (which stands for "What you need, when you need") is kicking off Power's branded delivery experience with the boutique men's style retailer Anthony Brands. Online orders made between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. will be delivered that same day by a WunWun worker in Anthony clothing. After launching its beta in January, WunWun has carved out a place for itself among Manhattanites. While the company isn't revealing any specific user figures yet, it's won endorsements from celebrities like Rosie O'Donnell (who apparently needed a juicer ASAP) and has gathered a surprising array of repeat customers. WunWun charges just $15 for deliveries and $2 for every 5 minutes worth of other services. If u live in NYC u must try this new app called WUN WUN – they will get u what u need when u need it – for 15 bucks delivered 2 ur door !!! — Rosie (@Rosie) March 20, 2013 According to Hnetinka, one person uses WunWun simply to get coffee delivered every day, while another user requests help daily to move furniture at an event space. WunWun competes with the likes of TaskRabbit, Postmates, and Exec, but Hnetinka sees his company differently from each of those. "We are not a task service or an errand service, we're making things on demand," he said. With the launch of Power, the company will be able to further differentiate itself from the competition.

Fran's no spring chicken anymore (not that I have any clue what a spring chicken is, though I bet it goes good with beer like everything else), but she's still working the mojo she got to make the younger men want to latch on, so to speak. Enjoy.

10 October 2011 12:57 [Source: ICIS news]
(adds confirmation from LyondellBasell and updates throughout)
LONDON (ICIS)--LyondellBasell's refinery at ?xml:namespace>
LyondellBasell's management decided to restart the plant for three months until 31 December before having it mothballed for up to two years, allowing time to find a possible buyer for the facility, according to company spokesman David Harpole.
"Start-up operations began on Monday. Refining, olefins and polymers units at Berre will be restarted over the next few days," said Harpole.
Industrial action was initially triggered when LyondellBasell announced it intended to close its 105,000 bbl/day refinery at Berre L'Etang, having failed to find a buyer for the asset. About 370 jobs would have been affected. The strike action forced LyondellBasell to shut its refinery and petrochemical site on 27 September.
However, an agreement, reached on Friday night in
"As part of the agreement, the refinery will be mothballed as of 31 December 2011. The consultation process [with works councils] will begin in January 2012 instead of October 2011," he added.
"The refinery could be mothballed up to two years. We have not reopened the sales process. However, should a viable offer for the refinery be received during the mothball phase, we could proceed with a divestiture. We have no plans to reopen the refinery. This decision was not made to wait for market conditions to improve," Harpole said.
So far, the company has not received any expression of interest, he added.
Gilles Hellier, a spokesperson for French union group CGT, said the unions were happy that the plant would be restarted in 2013 after being mothballed.
"For us it is a great victory, because usually in the closing of refineries, we have never seen the process reversed," he said.
However, he added that there was still concern that the mothballing could lead to downsizing and job cuts.
Harpole did not comment whether worker's jobs would be affected by the mothballing next year.
"It is premature to comment on how employment would be impacted. Our objective in shutting down the unprofitable refinery is to preserve the 900 jobs that support the core petrochemical assets at Berre," he said.
The refinery is operated by LyondellBasell subsidiary Compagnie Petrochimique de Berre. The petrochemical assets include a steam cracker and worldscale polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) plants, owned and operated by another subsidiary.
LyondellBasell forerunner Basell agreed at the end of 2005 to buy the former Shell refinery at Berre L'Etang for $700m (€525m) to provide greater upstream integration for its co-located petrochemical assets.
LyondellBasell said in May this year that it was seeking a buyer for the refinery. Analysts estimated at the time that the company might gain $500m from the sale.
The site is also host to several other chemical companies, and is one of the largest petrochemical complexes in southern

Asian Chemical Connections

Across the globe, native peoples generally show some distinct features in their physical builds, facial features, cultural traditions, and language dialects. This is often because people in a region are closely related. However, how and when humans settled a region is less obvious.
Asia is one of those regions. Some experts have proposed that there were two major waves of migration: one to South East Asia and a later one to central and northeast Asia. Others believed settlement happened through a single wave.
A recent study, published in the December 10, 2009, edition of the journal Science, may have resolved at least some of the debate. The Human Genome Organisation's (HUGO) Pan-Asian SNP Consortium sampled nearly 2,000 people across 73 populations living in the Asian region. By looking at their DNA, researchers found close relationships among these populations. They also discovered greater genetic diversity the more northward the people live. These findings support the hypothesis of a single major wave of migration. People from the south moved into the southeastern areas and northward. Similarities and differences in language also reflect this pattern.
One population living in Japan, however, may not fit neatly into this migration model. Japan's northern island of Hokkaido is the homeland of an ancient people called the Ainu
(pronounced "eye-nu"). Researchers say they were unable to sample any Ainu individuals for this study, so their ancestry is still somewhat a mystery.
The Ainu have lived in this region for thousands of years,
but they seem very little like their Asian neighbors in appearance, language,
and cultural traditions. While it is likely that some of their ancestry is rooted in the rest of Asia's southern stock, other evidence shows that they may also be related to the Nivkhi people of eastern Siberia.
During this week's lesson, you will meet the Ainu people and get a glimpse
into their unique culture that has evolved in this region over the centuries.
virtual trip to Hokkaido begins at the Smithsonian's Arctic
Studies Center, specifically at the exhibit called, Ainu:
Spirit of a Northern People. Take out seven sheets of blank copy paper. Fold the stack in half. You will use these sheets to create a booklet about the Ainu people as you explore. After adding the content of the booklet, you will illustrate the cover and use the first two inside pages for the Table of Contents.

a video icon, offer great explanations of both artifacts and traditions.
(If you cannot listen to the audio, then you can still read the video transcripts). Visitors can also browse the exhibit through its plain
text version.
After experiencing
or skipping the site's Introduction, the video overview of Room
1— Faces of Ainu will play. After hearing or reading
the overview, browse the room's collection. In your booklet, add the section title, "Faces of Ainu", for the next two facing pages following the Table of Contents. In this section, draw at least one picture that represents something you learned in this room. Make sure to include a caption for the picture. Also, write descriptions about what the word "ainu" means, who the Jomon people were and how do they
relate to the Ainu.
on to the Next Room, A People's Past,
and browse this exhibit room as you did Room 1. Title the next two facing pages, "A People's Past". Draw at least one picture that represents something you learned in this room. For the summary text, consider answering these questions: In what ways did the Ainu influence trade in their region? How do the
artifacts, such as the sealskin boots and the twined basket, illustrate
their connections to other cultures in the North Pacific? What happened in the 18th and 19th centuries that significantly changed
how the Ainu lived and interacted with their neighbors? How did those
changes affect their cultural traditions?
Room 3, A Life Guided by Kamuy, explains how the natural
world influences Ainu life. The overview, for example, says that everything
in the natural world represents what to the Ainu. Title the next section, and then draw a picture of an example. Write a summary about how this belief
influences their art and day-to-day lives.
When you enter Room 4, Chise: the Ainu House, you
get a sense of how Ainu have traditionally lived. For this section, use three or more drawings with captions to highlight home life.
the next room, you will get A Vital Cultural Look at
the ceremonies of the Ainu. In this section of your booklet, use drawings and text to describe the bear ceremony. Also, explain how and why it has changed in recent
In the exhibit's last two rooms, Rising from Adversity
and Renewal, review examples of how the Ainu culture
has evolved to interact with the contemporary world yet keep intact
their unique identity. In your booklet, describe how did tough economic times have affected Ainu traditions.
you have seen, animals played important roles in Ainu life. So to top
off your exploration of Ainu culture with a stop at NOVA's Island
of the Spirits. Use the last pages of your booklet to add drawings and text descriptions about some of the legends you learn about here. Leave the very last inside page blank.
Spend some time reading the Ainu
Legends. Read through all of them, if you have time, from
the Water-wagtail
to the Water-ouzel.
Or, using the thumbnail gallery, choose a few that you're most interested
in, like maybe the Otter,
Bear, Little
Horned Owl, Salmon,
or Crane. How does each animal's natural behavior relate to the Ainu's belief
or use of that animal? Why do you think such stories were created and
have been kept alive through the generations?
When you have filled up your Ainu booklet, number the pages starting after the Table of Contents page. Then, complete the Table of Contents using the page numbers and section titles. Use the last inside page as a bibliography, listing your information sources. Check with your teacher for citation preferences. On your booklet's cover, draw or print out a picture and add a booklet title.
Browse through current or archived issues of the e-edition, look for stories about another traditional culture. The articles you find may be about new artifacts archeologists have uncovered or new theories about a people. Pick one article's featured culture to research further using the newspaper and other sources. Similar to what you did when researching the Ainu, create a booklet that illustrates some of the culture's highlights. Make sure to include a bibliography the back of your booklet. Share your booklets with classmates. Through discussion, compare and contrast the different cultures you and others researched.

Fin-de-siècle progressives
The closing years of this century increasingly resemble the closing years of the last. The topics that absorbed the newspapers of the late 1890s were hauntingly similar to those of today. Poverty. Ireland. Electoral reform. Abolition of the Lords. Blood sports. Serbia...In which context, one of the principal themes of Tony Blair's address to his party at Bournemouth fitted exactly too. One term which kept recurring - more than New Labour, even - was progressive. There were two allusions in the opening salvo. Blair spoke of his hopes that the 21st century might become "a century of progressive politics" after one dominated by the Tories. New Labour was now "the new progressive force in British politics". And then at the heart of his speech he defined the coming battle squarely in terms of progressives versus reactionaries. Towards the end he returned to the theme again, pitting the progressives, the forces of modernity and justice, against Conservatives, cynics, elitists and suchlike undesirables.

Dr. Doron Shmorgun's Ratings
Had to leave a comment as we're so impressed. We were referred and have dealt with him on many occasions. Took what was initially a routine thing very seriously and got a second opinion. I cannot say enough about his assistant Lori. She is kind, helpful, willing to hear concerns and to help even when she is incredibly busy. HIGHLY recommended for both these reasons.

I have been a patient with Dr. Schmorgun for about a year and a half. I find him to be an extremely competent physician. However, most importantly, he is a compassionate and friendly physician. He communicates risks and benefits of all options clearly and concisely. He looks you in the eye as opposed to a chart when he talks to you. I have never felt rush in an appointment. He has taken time to call me on the phone instead to discuss test results as opposed to having me wait to make an appointment. He doesn't bill very every little thing e.g. for a medical note for employer etc. His staff are also very effective/efficient, and friendly. I appreciate the free and ample parking as well as the inviting and comfortable atmosphere of the medical building itself. I think all clinics, including family health, should follow a similar model.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Shmorgun, for help conceiving both of our children. He has always been professional, warm and empathic. I suffered numerous pregnancy losses (one of which was life threatening) while under his care, and he was always emotionally attuned and compassionate. I was never made to feel like it was just another pregnancy loss. Dr. Shmorgun performed two surgeries on me over the course of our years in treatment, and was very reassuring and an excellent surgeon. If you look at his recent photograph on the Ottawa Fertility Center website, this image really does justice to his very kind and warm countenance. He is as kind as he looks in that photo. We would be glad to work with him again in the future and patients in Ottawa are fortunate to have access to such an excellent doctor.

My husband and I were patients of Dr. Shmorgun and considered ourselves to be very fortunate. He was friendly, punctual and took his time to explain our situation and the surgery I needed to have.

I've been a patient of Dr. Shomrgun's for a few months now, and find him to be very straightforward and helpful. He provides clear explanations and advice. The office also runs efficiently and on time, which is great given how often you need to visit if you're undergoing any kind of treatment.

So far we are very pleased with Dr. Shmorgun and the clinic as whole.Today we had our appointment after our tests were done. Some tests for my husband came back not so favourable and contradictory from a test we had done in another province. Dr. Shmorgun asked for another sets of tests for him. My husband and I both have been extremely pleased with his professionalism and human approach. He took the time to provide further explanation. He is an excellent doctor and a professional. We are very fortunate to be under his care. It is hard enough going through something incredibly challenging and emotional, it makes a big difference to have a doctor who is understanding and professional. I have been reading some of the negative reviews on this page and people don't like to hear that they can't have what they want and it is natural to attack the person who is delivering the bad news. However. it is not right to put reviews emotional assessment on a place like this. Stick to facts please.

I really like Dr. Shmorgun. We've met with him a few times in the past 3 months and not once has he chewed gum in our meetings. He's very knowledgable and did not rush us to start expensive treatments. He recommended many tests and then discussed all results with us. I found him very pleasant! Not bad looking either!!

On the World Transhumanist Association discussion list, the topic came up, "is hard science fiction fascist literature?" Dr. James Hughes pointed out the following:
"Hard science fiction generally isn't fascist, but one can make a
plausible case that Star Trek being fascist.
A) They have no politics. It's a military dictatorship.
B) They have no money. It's a command economy.
C) All conflict is racial. Humans v. Klingons v. Romulans etc.
D) The races have intrinsic cultural personalities which make them less
attractive than the humans. Attractive members of alternate races try to
become more human: Spock and Worf trying to get a sense of humor. Data
trying to get emotions.
E) Something terrible happened to Asians, Africans and Latins, because
90% of all humans are English-speaking whites.
F) Cognitive enhancement and life extension technologies are outlawed,
or at least all R&D towards those goals have been stopped.
G) Everyone apparently has some kind of mind-block against realizing
that the transporter beam could make copies of all the crew and keep
them young and immortal.
H) The Prime Directive maintains human (and allied) supremacy over the
hapless lesser peoples who are denied political and technological
progress in order supposedly to respect their cultural "difference."
However Kirk does go back to 1939 and stands aside to let his pacifist
girlfriend to get run down by a car instead of allowing her to convince
Roosevelt to stay out of WWII. So at least Star Trek wasn't Nazi."

Save Beaver County v. Beaver County
From Ballotpedia
Utah Supreme Court. The high court's decision overturns a lower court ruling. In its February decision, the court says that Beaver County must schedule a county-wide vote before allowing a planned resort development to proceed.
In 2007, the county entered into a land-use agreement with the Mount Holly Club resort for a $3.5 billion resort. Some residents of the county objected and using Utah's local referendum rules, collected signatures to force the agreement to the ballot.
Beaver County election officials challenged the signatures on the veto referendum and a lower court agreed with the county's denial of the referendum. The state's Supreme Court rejected the lower court's ruling. The long-delayed election will be held in November 2009.[1]

End immoral 'traditions' in May polls
Our shameless senators are proving that they all need to be replaced. All of them took Christmas "cash gifts." Some just complained because others got more, but no one denounced the immorality of the "tradition," accepting it as legal because it was already the standard operating practice.
President Aquino broke tradition when he espoused "daang matuwid": He didn't pick up his immediate predecessor's penchant for plunder. The military's top brass stopped the "pabaon" tradition in the Armed Forces of the Philippines although this had become SOP under several chiefs of staff. And so far, the Department of Public Works and Highways, the Bureau of Internal Revenue and a few other government offices notorious for crooked dealings are getting rid of deeply embedded dishonest SOPs. These are but a few examples of busted things getting fixed given a bit of political will. And the global accolades caused by these reforms have made the Philippines the toast of investors and tourists.
Lack of principle, propensity for plunder and addiction to power are deeply ingrained in the Philippine political system. These flaws enable gambling lords and drug lords to dominate Philippine society with their ruthlessness and cash. That the Commission on Elections has identified 889 of the country's 1,600 local government units as hot spots in the coming elections is a clear sign of the need for the Filipino people to stand up and tell their leaders: "Enough!"
Let's start by not reelecting any of the incumbent senators now seeking to be returned to the Senate. We can get the other 12 replaced in 2016. But let's also make sure that we don't elect front men of the gambling and drug syndicates at the local levels. That should continue the cleanup begun by the election of P-Noy.
If we Filipinos don't seize the 2013 elections as the time to start denying crooks access to government funds, we better not blame anyone else for our country's inability to win the war against poverty, hunger and lawlessness.

Stepping Stones Museum for Children Brings Exhibit to Calf Pasture Beach
Energize Connecticut Grant Allows Stepping Stones Museum for Children to Bring Red-Hot Summer Fun to Calf Pasture Beach
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) July 12, 2013
Thanks to a generous grant from Energize Connecticut, an initiative dedicated to empowering Connecticut citizens to make smart energy choices, Stepping Stones Museum for Children and the City of Norwalk's Recreation and Parks Department will be teaming up to bring a fun, exciting and free museum experience to the visitors at Calf Pasture Beach this summer. A new, seasonal addition to the beach's recreational options, the museum's Conservation Quest® Maze will be installed at Calf Pasture for visitors to explore. The Conservation Quest Maze will be at Calf Pasture Beach from Saturday, July 13 (weather dependent) through Labor Day, Monday, September 2. The Conservation Quest Maze is one of the energy exhibits and programs sponsored by Energize Connecticut in partnership with Connecticut Light & Power and United Illuminating.
Calf Pasture Beach is a natural jewel that has been enjoyed by generations of Norwalk residents. Responsible environmental practices will ensure that the beach remains that way. In keeping with a joint commitment to inspire children to become good environmental stewards, Stepping Stones and the Norwalk Recreation and Parks Department invite beach patrons to take a fun, interactive journey through the Conservation Quest Maze. The maze teaches children and families fun lessons about energy – what it is, where it comes from, how it's used and why it's so important to use it wisely. The 2,200-square-foot, visually-spectacular maze, which will be installed near the pavilions at the beach, shares facts and challenges visitors to take responsibility by using less energy. At the end of their journey, visitors are encouraged to make personal commitments to conserve energy, protect the planet and promote healthy living.
The Conservation Quest Maze:
- Explores energy use at home, in business, manufacturing and transportation
- Compares non-renewable and renewable sources of energy
- Presents ways to save with light bulbs, electricity and recycling
- Shows what happens to trash and offers solutions to reduce what ends up in landfills
- Examines energy-saving inventions and the future of energy.
"Thanks to the continued generosity of Energize Connecticut, we are able to bring the Conservation Quest Maze and its important energy conservation messages to Calf Pasture Beach," said Rhonda Kiest, Executive Director of Stepping Stones Museum for Children. "We are excited and we hope beach visitors of all ages will find simple ways to become environmental stewards and make thoughtful choices about energy use. We are grateful to the City of Norwalk and its Recreation and Parks Department for their support as fantastic community partners and for hosting this important, interactive and fun museum experience at this very unique venue."
The Conservation Quest Maze builds upon Stepping Stones Museum for Children's commitment to energy conservation education and environmental responsibility and highlights its environmental initiatives, including a green roof, a wind turbine, rain gardens, the use of renewable resources in our building materials and much more. The museum is a LEED Gold certified building, meeting the nation's strictest controls in environmental sustainability.
Since 2009, the Conservation Quest Maze has helped hundreds of thousands of children learn important energy conservation messages, inspiring them to make thoughtful choices about energy use to help protect the planet and promote healthy living. It has been touring schools, libraries, community centers, children's museums, science centers and nature centers across the country. After its stay at Calf Pasture Beach, the Conservation Quest Maze will be heading to the Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center in Mystic. The maze will open at the Nature Center in September.

When I joined GACTE and later chose to run for office on the board of directors, it was probably one of the best decisions I have ever made for my professional career. I gained a new appreciation of ALL Career and Technical Education. It is so rewarding to be part of an association with so many passionate educators who take great pride in their profession and all working to make a real difference in students' lives.
Business and Computer Science Teacher
Seminole County High School
My passion for CTAE began when I was a sophomore in high school. The skills I learned were invaluable and birthed within me the passion I have for CTAE teachers, students and programs. I know the benefit that our programs have on the lives of the students we teach. Our CTAE teachers are the most dedicated and hardworking individuals I have ever met and they inspire me to make sure that CTAE and GACTE are being adequately represented at the local, state and national levels. I want to ensure that GACTE is meeting the needs of our teachers while also advocating for the future of our CTAE programs.

Special Correspondent
Hyderabad: Just a day left for the Mayoral election, speculation is rife as to which party will get the coveted post. The Congress, which is the main contender for the top post, is trying to enlist the Majlis support. It is even using the good offices of senior Congress leaders at Delhi to prevail upon Majlis president Asaduddin Owaisi to settle for the deputy Mayor post, it is said. The latter is now in Delhi to attend the Parliament session.
Though the Majlis has announced that it would have its candidate elected as Mayor, sources say, the party would be persuaded to accept the deputy Mayor's post. But in return for its support, the Majlis might get one Legislative Council seat and chairmanship of Urdu Academy or the Wakf Board. PCC president D. Srinivas has already held talks with the Majlis in which the latter has suggested to share the Mayoral post. The Majlis also wanted a MLC seat Meanwhile, the Majlis corproators, it is said, are asked to assemble at Dar-us-Salam on December 4 before proceeding to take part in the Mayoral poll.

When a door broke out of our kitchen we created a light, colorful and comfortable alternative out of plastic bags. (translation: Anna shows us how to open our new door in the kitchen with the automatic cable linkage)
This is to block the sun so we could use the projector. You can take a boy out of Alabama, but you can't take Alabama out of a boy.
"With my wife wanting to pick out curtains for our apartment and me getting tired of being woken up by the sun every morning I figured "curtains" consisting of trash bags and aluminum foil would help move her along to making a proper selection. Also doubles as a way to discourage guests as she doesn't want anyone seeing this hack job."
Not to mention it protects your against aliens reading your minds! Bonus!

78 Skills Everyone Should Know
(howtosurviveit.com) July 14th, 2013 by Jeremy Knauff- Survival is based largely on two things: a positive mental attitude and knowledge. With those two covered, you can make up for any lack of tools. Knowledge doesn't break, wear out, and short of forgetting a thing or two, you generally can't lose it. Below, I've compiled a list of skills I think everyone should know. This is by no means a "complete" list because there is always room to learn more, and the more you know, the greater your chances of survival. But this will give you a solid foundation and a far broader skill set than most people. Everyone should know how to:
Drive a stick shift
Start a fire without matches or a lighter
Build a garden
Use herbal remedies
Produce beer/wine
Build your local community
Tan leather

The Coronation Ceremony on Feb. 4, the Rotary Show, and the Gala Parade on Feb. 12 are the largest spectacles of Winter Carnival. The Rotary Show is filled with music, stories, comedy and tradition. The community of Saranac Lake will be there in full force, the Carnival royalty in the front row, the families, village leaders and businessmen, all the movers and shakers and hundreds of neighbors. This is small-town America at its best.
Scott Eichoholz - a "knight" on the town - will provide pre-show entertainment from 7 to 7:30 p.m. Mary Brown will welcome the audience. Rotary Club President John Banta will give the introduction. And the master of ceremonies - Father Rick Dennis - will present the 2011 Winter Carnival court and royalty.
The Winter Carnival royal party includes the king and queen (to be announced the evening of Feb. 4 at Coronation), attendants to the king and queen (Eliza Lennon and Adam Heverly), grand marshal (Cathy Moore), archbishop (Sara Posdzich), chamberlain (Joe Thill), princess (Courtney Ellen Petkovek), prince (William Jeremiah Ward IV), pages (Jacob Adams, Isabelle Celeste, Rachel Daby, Jake Mouraine, Dylan Murnane and Emma Peer), and the High School Court ladies (Gaby Feliu, Faith Conners, Julie Bowler, Cadence Roddy, Ryan Garnish, Geanette Orton and Molly Burgess) and gentlemen (Sean Ryan, Braxton Tissot, Sam Baker, Dalton DeMarco, Dylan Dawson, Wyatt Daviau, and Nicholas Magro).
Steve Borst, the Musician to the Royal Court, will provide entertainment, and there will be dance routines by the pages and court members. This will be followed by performances by the Saranac Lake High School Vocal Ensembles, directed by Helen Demong and accompanied by Tom Delahant. Afterward, there will be acts by Steven Gratto ("Comedy Juggler Extraordinaire"), pianist Joey Izzo, Adirondack singer/songwriter Roy Hurd, storyteller Doug Fitzgerald with "Tales of the North Country," and finally, the Rotary Show Dancers.

Hasbro let the fans vote, and it's official; the iron is out, and the cat is in.
When the game company announced they would be holding a massive poll to decide the new game piece, people from 120 countries voted online. Kitty lovers of the world had their say, and the new cat token will be added to Monopoly board games later this fall.
i wonder if insurance covers this?
Cinder would like to play. But the concept of "Sorry" completely eludes him.

Waterfront access and an attractive picnic site along with a restored lightkeeper's cottage that can be toured or rented.
On December 12, 1887, two years before Washington became a state, a fixed white light lens lantern was placed on a white post on Point Brown. It was about twelve feet above sea level and 50 yards from the low water end of shore. In 1901 the first lighthouse and a house for the lighthouse keeper were built. The lighthouse was a wood frame structure on wood pilings off shore. At low tide one could walk to the lighthouse, but at high tide it was necessary to take a rowboat. Read more about the history of Browns Point Lighthouse Park.
The Browns Point Light House Park "Adopt a Park" partnership between Points Northeast Historical Society and Metro Parks was established in October 2000.
Tours: You can take a step back in time as you tour the History Center, Boathouse, replica surfboat, original fog bell and the Light Keeper's Cottage.
- Open Saturdays between 1 and 4 pm from March thru November
- Free admission
- Contact Points Northeast Historical Society, (253) 927-2536
Rentals: Experience even more of the life of a lighthouse keeper by signing up for a one-week tour of duty and staying in the Light Keeper's Cottage. Keepers learn local history and conduct tours of the lighthouse grounds and facilities. Relax and watch sailboats, walk on the beach, fish from the shore, enjoy sunsets and reading in antique rocking chairs from the porch.
Parking Lot: MPT does not have an ownership position in the two lots to the south of the Lighthouse property that the Brown's Point Improvement Club is on. The Browns Point Improvement Club only allows their parking lots to be used for BPIC events.
We do not permit special events or outdoor weddings at Browns Point Lighthouse Park because it does not have the basic support amenities such as adequate parking, rentable picnic shelters/wedding gazebos, permanent restrooms, etc. If you choose to conduct your ceremony in the park (simple "I dos, no equipment set-up, etc.) you do so at your own risk. Please know that whatever else may be happening in the park may be disruptive to your ceremony – dogs catching Frisbees, kite flyers, etc. We cannot restrict the general public from using the park during regular park hours unless the activity is illegal. We also have future park improvements that will most likely take place before the end of 2015 which could cause areas of the park to be fenced off.
We would like to hear your feedback on the development plan (shown below)
to improve Browns Point Lighthouse Park. Email comments to firstname.lastname@example.com

Burrowed behind a ridge just north of the playground area at Columbia Park sits a small, nondescript rock with a plaque on it.
The rock came from Rugby, England — the ancestral home of the sport that now bears its name — and, aside from the field goal posts that sit on either end of the adjacent field, it is the only sign that one of the country's largest rugby teams calls this corner of the Northeast Minneapolis park their home.
At least, that is, until the players begin to stream forth onto the field, their above-the-knees shorts, loose T-shirts and occasional leather helmet a collective signal that this is no ordinary day in the park, and that this is no ordinary group of men.
It would be an imposing, arresting sight if a visitor didn't know why the group was there or that most of the men taking the field are working professionals — doctors, lawyers, laborers — who, when engaged in conversation, are affable, engaging and eager to explain their passion for the sport.
This is the Metropolis Rugby Club, one of the most successful yet unknown sports teams in Minneapolis.
"I think there are people who live just over the hill who have no idea that we're even here," club president Dave Heebner said on a recent weeknight, as players ran, scrummed and scrimmaged over the course of a two-hour practice.
"We would like to do more outreach into the community, but right now most of the people who come to our games are friends and family," said Heebner, a retired rugby player who has served as club president for nearly two years. "Well, them and the fox that comes out from the woods."
There are plenty of reasons to take interest in the team, he and other club members suggest.
The club's division one team was among the top 20 in the nation last year and had lost just one match as of early October, and was poised to obtain the home field advantage in November's playoffs, which they have regularly attended in recent years.
The club's division three team — think of it like a developmental team, or a minor league affiliate — won a national championship in 2010. It was the first rugby National Championship in Minnesota history, at any level.
"Just think of it like winning the Super Bowl or the World Series," said Kurt Siudzinski, the club's vice president. "It's the highest level you can obtain."
There are intrinsic reasons to watch, too: players describe the sport as a unique display of athleticism and team play. Without pads, players can't use their heads as weapons. Because there is no stoppage in play, they must have endurance in addition to brute strength.
"I can't even watch football anymore," said Wade McInroy, the team captain and a nine-year club veteran. "I see rugby as the only pure sport left in the world."
McInroy, 36, is a daunting presence — a former middle linebacker who now serves as the team's eight man, a sort of all-purpose, enforcer position.
But even if Metropolis garners few fans, plays on a bare bones field and is largely self-financed, there are signs that rugby's profile is growing locally and around the country.
Rugby will debut in the 2016 Rio Olympics and is being broadcast more frequently on television. High school clubs are cropping up around the country, including more than two dozen in the Twin Cities.
A report by the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association released in September found the number of rugby players in the United States jumped 51 percent between 2009 and 2010, to 1.1 million. The poll was based on a survey of 15,000 individuals.
"It will probably always be a niche sport, but the U.S. is finally starting to catch on," said Heebner, the club president.
Metropolis, the only division one rugby team in Minnesota, has benefited from the sport's rising profile.
Club membership has more than tripled over the last decade, and there are now more than 300 boosters, active players and retired athletes who associate with the club.
It is now one of the largest clubs not just in Minnesota, but in the entire country.
Most of the players are in their early- to mid-20s; several are ex-football players who either became disenchanted with the sport or sought something new to take its place when school was over.
They were recruited by chance — through a friend-of-a-friend, or a chance encounter in the community — or by targeted solicitation. Many were coached by team members while in high school, and have stayed with the sport.
Several of the players also come from the Spearhead Rugby Academy in St. Paul, which attracts international talent and fosters the players while they are in the United States. Metropolis players from the academy this year come from England and Mexico.
"It's in the blood," said Charlie Baleirara, an English player who said he has been playing since he was four-years-old. "I grew up with a rugby ball."
Baleirara is playing for Metropolis this year while taking a break from international club play. He will join a team in South Africa next year.
Heebner, who fell into the sport while in college, said almost everyone who plays rugby in the United States is an "unlikely player," and a quick survey of the field proves the point.
Adam Dilley, a grocer, has played for the last 11 years. He took it up after a friend prodded him to consider playing, knowing nothing of the sport. He said he continues to come back because of the camaraderie, a common attraction among many of the players.
Though rugby players have been stigmatized as party animals, the reality is far different, he said. The team volunteers in the community, organizes trips to support other Minnesota rugby teams and travels to games in Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois.
The cohesion built up on the field often bleeds into other aspects of player's lives, he and other team members say.
"It's a hooligan sport, sure, but it's played by gentlemen," Dilley said.
The hope now is that the team will continue to find success — and new fans in the process. Anyone interested in going beyond spectator status shouldn't be intimidated, either, team leaders say.
"It doesn't matter if you've never seen a rugby ball before in your life," Heebner said. "If you've got a pair of gym shorts and a shirt, come on out."

So I am pretty new to comics infact i have only really have read, The Boys and Sandman along with a few issues of Grimm Fairy Tales. I figured if any place would have a good idea on what I should focus on reading next on my iPad, it seems this is it. The main things I am looking for is anything that seems more book like and less "comicy" rather it has the feel of Twlight or Hunger Games or A Game Of Thrones; all of which I have read and loved. Other than Sandman I am not really sure if there other series out there that same kind of feel. But would love to read more as until recently those two comics i never really thought of comics could tell a deeper story. So any suggestions would be great and looked into as my next "to read"

If you're looking for something poetic that will completely throw you off guard I'd read Greg Rucka's Punisher #1-16
Thanks! and I'll look into it(just in case the Punisher does have this) but really I'm looking for stuff that also mixes in drama and romance as well. Violence is fine but what I most enjoyed about The Boys was the whole romantic angle that the series had along with the usual violence; same thing with A Game Of Thrones which had violence and mature themes but also lots of drama and romance as well. Any suggestions like that?

Based upon your description above I can wholeheartedly suggest Fables and it's spin-offs Jack of Fables, Cinderella, and Fairest.
I recommend them because you have already read and enjoyed other Vertigo titles as well as Grimm Fairy Tales. The Fables Universe is entertaining in it's own right but it also offers something for the person who loves literature much like Sandman did/does.
Fairest basically just started so it is a good place to jump on and everything has been collected into trade paperbacks so catching up would be easy as well. I'm not sure how effective Vertigo has been on the digital front but I'm guessing they are fairy forward thinking in that regard.
Good Luck!
All of those seem to be exactly what i am looking for; attually found Fairest digitily and now looking forward to reading them. Though Fables seems like is a long running series so hoping I can find one of those large tome things that Sandman had when I checked it out of the library. Not sure how common those giant tome like collections are in comics but sure makes it easier when trying to read such a large ongoing series. If anyone has any other amazing suggestions as well I'd love to hear more in the same style as Grimm and Fables and Sandman. Really anything non superhero/action i'd be willing to check out. Also any that feature a female lead character in the story would be a bonus as well. (ps: Sorry for the lack of spacing seems the fourm dosnt play nice with the iPad)

Drink between: 2007 - 2028 (Add My Dates)
Delicious! Popped and poured and drank way too quickly! Glad to know another bottle is waiting!
I apparently had a bottle of this last December that I liked, but at this point have no recollection. The cork on this particular bottle was faulty, and after failing to get it out in one piece, I was forced to immediately decant the wine.
Color is still translucent ruby, but a shade or two darker than the '86. Great nose - fruit, smoke, wood scents - quite complex on the nose.
Smoother and more well-integrated on the palate than the '86, but on opening I'm not sure it's any more interesting. A lot more weight/presence, though. We'll see about "final grades" later tonight.
Why we drink bordeaux. Fully mature, with a whole lot going on from the moment we pooped the cork till the last drop was gone.
Classic mature Bordeaux; rubber and tar and leather; earthy blackberry; structured with great finish.
Cedar with sweet light blackberry; fully integrated tannins; mature; sweet balanced but light on fruit finish.
