The Morgan State University Choir has performed for audiences throughout the United States and all over the world - including Virgin Islands, Canary Islands, Canada, Africa, Asia and Europe. One of the Choir's most historic moments came with the opportunity to sing under the baton of Robert Shaw, conducting the Orchestra of St. Lukes and joined by Jessye Norman and others in Carnegie Hall's One Hundredth Birthday Tribute to Marian Anderson. A major milestone and historical movement occurred in the 1996-1997 season with the sounds of the "Silver Anniversary" concert being broadcast into households throughout the state of Maryland. The concert won three Emmy Awards for Maryland Public Television (MPT). MPT continues to air this hallmark performance during select sections of their membership drives.
Known for their consistency of excellent performances, the Choir probably performs with more major orchestras of the United States than any other university choir. During the 1999-2000 season, the Choir was featured with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in a (then) newly commissioned work for the millennium, "All Rise," by Wynton Marsalis. The Choir reprised "All Rise" in Prague, in October 2000 and recorded it with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra; the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and in 2003, the Choir recorded it in Paris. In December 2003 the Choir performed "African Portraits" with the Baltimore Symphony at the Gala Concert for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture. In their May 2004 issue, Reader's Digest named the Morgan State University Choir "the Best College Choir in the U.S.' in its list of "America's 100 Best."
In February 2005, at the personal invitation of Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice, the choir performed for the State Department for their annual African American History Month Celebration. In October of the same year, the Morgan State University Choir sang for the service honoring Rosa Parks, the unassuming matriarch of the civil rights movement, who became the first woman to lie in honor at our nation's Capitol Rotunda. In March of 2006, Cox Communications sponsored the choir in a special presentation on television to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans to critical acclaim. During the summer of 2006, the Choir traveled to Prague, Czech Republic, for two concerts with maestro Paul Freeman and the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. In November 2006, the ensemble participated in a concert celebrating the Bicentennial Celebration and Re-opening of the Basilica of the Assumption - the first cathedral in America! In March 2007, the Choir sang at the Kennedy Center for a Living Jazz Legends Concert where the Choir performed with legendary Jazz performers as Nancy Wilson, Billy Taylor, Regina Carter, Jon Faddis, and T.S. Monk!
In August 2007, at the invitation of US Ambassador Bridgewater, the choir traveled to Ghana to help that country celebrate its 50th year of Independence. Also, in 2007, the choir was the recipient of a Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation grant which help underwrite performances around the Mid-Atlantic Region. Under the auspice of this grant, the choir performed throughout the region with performances at The Strand Performing Arts Center in Harrisburg, PA, Strathmore Hall in Rockville, MD, and the several area colleges including Juniata College, Delaware State, Frostburg State, Hood College, Harford Community College, and University of Virgin Islands to mention a few.
In April 2008, the Morgan State University Choir sang at Carnegie Hall performing Faure's Requiem Mass with Bobby McFerrin and the Orchestra of St. Lukes. October, of the same year, the Morgan State University Choir returned to Carnegie Hall, this time with Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. The BSO featured a seldom-performed piece - Leonard Bernstein's Mass - to celebrate the 90th birthday of the composer. In this work, the critics proclaimed the choir as "brilliant, refined and spirited as ever" in their presentation. During the following year, the recording of Mass was released on Naxos records heralded by critics as the definitive recording of the work! As a result of this acclaim, the recording was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Classical Album of 2009. In 2009, the choir traveled to two international destinations. In June of 2009, the choir sang in Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia at the invitation of the US Ambassador to that country. In July, the choir traveled to South Africa to sing in an international Choral festival. One of the highlights of the tour was singing Happy Birthday to Nelson Mandela on his 90th birthday celebration on national South African television.
In May 2010, the choir received acclaim for their performance with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and Kathleen Battle on a program entitled the Underground Railroad. A week later, the choir was off to a ten-day, five-city tour of China. The highlight of the Chinese tour were two concerts at the Shanghai Expo - The World's Fair- at the American Pavilion, again mesmerizing the audience with their eclectic program mixture from Beethoven to Michael Jackson.
Most recently, in October 2010, the choir travelled to St. Petersburg, Russia to participate in a Conservatory-week Festival at the St. Petersburg Conservatory, one of only three U.S. universities to participate.
The Morgan State University Choir has shared its musical gifts on many grand stages all over the world - with numerous dignitaries and celebrated performers - making them cultural ambassadors for Morgan State University, the City of Baltimore, the State of Maryland and the United States.

Santa Chiara Hospital
Santa Chiara Hospital lies in the heart of the city, a few meters from Piazza dei Miracoli and the renowned Leaning Tower.
The Ospital is in the forefront of thyroid, cardio-circulatory system and tumoral pathologies treatment. People coming all over Italy treat in Pisa their diseases and get the occasion to enjoy the marvellous Leaning Tower and the worldwide famous Piazza dei Miracoli lying just a few steps from Santa Chiara Hospital.

How to get Villa Maya from Santa Chiara Hospital:
Once out of the hospital follow the signs to Fi-pi-li expressway, take it in the direction of Firenze and exit in Cascina. At the exit you will find immediately a roundabout, turn right and go straight for about 200 meters till the next roundabout.

EDIT- I removed the Original Preamble to the list.
I also reordered things in a more logical manner. (I hope)
First thing. I have to agree with Zooks; the boy and girls at DAZ are working hard to get everything right.
Thank You to the DAZ Web Team for their hard work so far on the new site.
Putting a complex site together takes time and everything can go as smoothly as 20 grit sandpaper. (Very rough indeed!)
If you think we are frustrated, turn the table and think about their frustration and having to deal with all of us, due to these issues.
This thread was not started to bash DAZ for everything wrong with the site.
I started it as a collection point for the items we, the users, have found in our travels through the new site.
With thousands of us using the store and forum, we are going to find things that the test team didn't, cause Users do that.
So while the DAZ Web Team is busy working on issue, can help by recording a list of things we see.
Remember a Known Issues is Zendesk, the Issue Reporting Tool, isn't connected in yet. (Yup Still Broken)
So, if you see an issue missing from this list or a correction to a posted issue, please post it.
I will be editing this, to add posted issue; make Corrections; give work arounds and solutions. (I may reorder the colors later)
If I find a issue in another Thread I will bring it here and make a Link to the original post.
It is my hope this list will become all
lined out soon. (That nifty strike through is [ del ] [ /del ] remove the extra spaces)
So here is the List of "Oo, I like that new Feature!" , the Bugs and Omissions , and the Wishlist .
Forum Annoyances You have control over:
1) Email Flood for Thread Responses
—This is a setting within "Your Control Panel" under "Email Setting"
—You uncheck "Enable email notifications by default when you post messages"
—Okay here is an issue, the Forum doesn't remember your preference for each Thread
—Then remember to check the "Notify me via email" each time you post, to a thread you want to follow.
(Yes, this might be a bug but you can get everything or you choose what you get.)
2) Searching for posts by author
—For now use the Forum Advance Search
—This used bring up only those threads that you originated, but now it is getting everything.
The good and the Great:
1) Check Spelling... Very nice - this is a Great in my estimation
2) The New Preview is nice
3) When you press a formatting button it places the tags inline not at the end of the text.
5) We can Make Polls——Personally I hope this does not change
6) Embedded Links!!
7) FOUND the Forum Advance Search
8) Did I mention Embedding Links!
The Bad
There is a very good list over the—- **Known Forum Issue thread
—So this list will be of issues not currently on that list
1) Can't Edit or Delete the Poll (Much to My Embarrassment)
— But being able to edit, delete or change the poll would be good, especially for the PA sale.
2) Too much wasted space Buttons TOO big
5) Blank Lines as separators.
—Work around add a space. The Double Return is seen as Redundant Data, which it is.
New features I like:
1) Recently Viewed Items
2) Compare Products.
——I am trying to figure out exactly how it could be used.
——I suppose when comparing bundles it would be useful
3) Sub menus for the Store drop down Though I would like to see a sub-sub for Genesis with V5, M5, and the like.
4) the new wishlist with comments area.
——It would be nice to have a popup you can put the note in so you know why you are added it to you wishlist.
5) the new expanded image layout
——I know there are those of us that Don't like this.
6) The New Orders come with installer files names, (Makes it nice for when you are looking for the installer for X)
7) Built with HTML5 - Progressive
8) The layout is nice
——I do like the new Layout and the ability to use a list instead of a grid.
Operational issue:
1) Shopping cart display default option to open as a page and not a drop down
2) "You already purchase this item warning" not active (Might need a special Script, Most stores don't check for this)
3) "You are buying an item in your wishlist" (Okay this is a New Feature that was not in the old site, but I did suggest it.)
4) Correct Item classification - I was in the People/woman while I did find models Mods, I also found Hair, Hair textures, clothes.
One of the more interesting, I found several previous generation models under Genesis shapes, like V3 Base.
5) Items appear multiple times in the displayed list of items.
——Haven not seen this is a while, so I may be fixed
6) Vendor Stores, and Links from their other products.
——** Known Issue—"The shop by vendor is being worked on."
7) Sale termination date - The sale on this product ends on
——** Known Issue
8) No file sizes for products listed on both the product pages and download pages
9) Ability to see add-ons to a product ( Thank you a_silberman)
——I have seen add-on's for new product come up in the 'You may also like' (Which just seemed to vanish with the latest Reboot) 5/31
10) Ability to view Wiki or Read Me file about the product - from (digitell
—the Old Art Zone Wiki is still reachable and you can lookup the product.
11) Unstable Prices, system seems to forget the pricing on objects.
12) Items showing up multiple times with multiple Prices
—This might be fixed between the time I saw it and when I went back to Double check.
13) Could we please have the "You may also like" under the Description or over the the right side? (i know minor)
Searching or Sorting:
1) Search Within - to narrow down the thousand of things that are for Victoria 4
—— If you want to find only V5 items, Type: "Victoria 5" with the quotes. Search is not looking for exact parse.
—Well it worked earlier today when found it, but now it isn't working again.
2) On Sale Only - That was a nice little search
——No solution yet
3) SORTING - Any where you have things in columns we should be able to sort by the column headings.
——Wishlist Sorting
——No solution yet
4) Search within—(** The web group is aware.)
Itemized Order History
My Orders
My Wishlist
——No solution yet
5) Sort by price range—you can sort by price, so we are talking about a price range
——The Catalog Advanced Search allows for a price range, still doesn't display it's results.
6) Hiding Mac / PC items during product download. **Known issue
7) Searching for anything is faster if you use Google or Bing, You will find what you want faster that way of you know something about it.
New Site Issue List - some collected from other thread <Renamed>

Touratech bridges the gap between your R1200GS Adventure and your Touratech GPS mount with this bracket that connects to the windscreen support bar. The GPS Mount Adapter allows you to locate the GPS above the instruments, an optimum location for viewing.
Crafted from CNC aluminum and lazer cut stainless steel, the kit comes with everything you need to install the bracket.
To mount a GPS on your R1200GS Adventure you will need to purchase this GPS Mount Adapter in addition to the Touratech GPS Mount.
NOTE: Full windscreen adjustment may not be possible with some of the largest GPS mounts. Will not work with some "MVG" mounts, call for more details.
I finally got this to work after a bit of tweaking. Properly installed, it stays rock-steady and easily supports the lockable GPS mount for my Garmin Zumo 660. HOWEVER, you *must* do the following: 1) wrap the windshield support bracket with electrical tape at the points where you intend to attach the mount. If you don't do this, it will start sliding. 2) DON'T mount it according to the instructions; instead, mount it as shown in the photograph on the web page. The bolt heads should face *down*, not up. If you leave them facing up, you'll have to take off your windshield every time you want to tighten the bolts. 3) Crank down *hard* on the bolts. Otherwise, even with tape the mount will slip. That's why you need to mount the bolts where you can get to them easily.
By Works great but needs tweaking on Mar 26, 2014 at 12:03:08 PM

Trucking Job may be Perfect Choice for a Felon
I was convicted/plead to a 3rd degree possession of a controlled substance in 07 was sent to joint served 2 years and terminated no parole. Since my release in 09 I have been to Salt lake community college twice 1-computer repair tech 2-electronic technician and as of 11/30/2012 I graduated from Road Master with my class A CDL with double, triples and tanker endorsements. Road Master did a pre-enrollment back ground check and for reasons I cannot explain it was clean "nothing to report" my driver record also is spotless, and ZERO new offenses. yet nobody will give me the time of day I am an excellent employee and have references and letters of recommendation to prove it. I am 40 single no kids no obligations relocating or travel is very possible. All I need is…… some body to give me ONE chance and a lousy 8 hours and all doubts any uncertainties will be cleared up.
Any info, help or tips would be appreciated.
Trucking Job may be Perfect Choice for a Felon
You have a few things in your favor. One, you are mature and it seems like you have made all of the mistakes you are going to make. Two, you have valuable training that will good to the right employer. Three, you have nothing to tie you down. All of these things lead me to believe that a career as a commercial truck driver may be perfect for you. I have many students who have successful careers a truck drivers.
There are many companies who will hire a felon. Below is a link to a website that lists of commercial trucking companies, some of which are felon friendly. This is a great website because it lists each company's policies regarding hiring ex-offenders and felons.
Each Company makes its own rules as it relates to the hiring of felons. Some will employ a driver after 5 years or longer since the conviction. Other companies won't hire felons, regardless. You must contact each individual company to find out exactly what their policy is concerning the hiring of felons and ex-offenders.
When you get an interview, don't forget to tell the interviewer that you can be bonded. The ability to be bonded will be a big plus. A felon can be bonded free of charge by the Federal Bonding Program. You can more information at the link below.
I hope this helps.

DRM: For decades now as gamers we've had a loathe-hate relationship with it. Publishers use it to stop the theoretical revenue bleed caused by piracy and second-hand sales. But as anyone with sense can tell you, it just doesn't work. Games still remain as copyable as ever, and the only people inconvenienced by it are those consumers who purchase products legitimately, making one feel that perhaps pirates offer a better service, if you choose to ignore the added malware.
It's a well-covered topic, and we all have opinions on the matter. Publishers seem to be fooling themselves and/or possibly their shareholders by constantly believing that one of these days, the DRM is going to work. Dang pirates, we'll show them. Thing is, they've been under this delusion for over 30 years.
So here's our first nostalgia-piece. It's about the goofiest copy-protection system ever to grace our beloved medium, the Lenslok.

How do I find a boyfriend-free, single girl?
I want to find a TRUE and HONEST sweetheart, but I have not found a gal pal who is boyfriend free and single. I don't want my heart to be shattered,... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Two suggestions (see however each may apply to you):
1. Focus on building up other aspects of your life. Enrich your life by seeking out and enjoying friends, family, hobbies, goals, etc. Learn a few new skills, travel, read a few good books, appreciate some new art forms, etc. These things will make you feel a bit more fulfilled in the meantime, and make you a more interesting person to a potential girlfriend (whom, by the way, you might meet along the way of building up your life).
2. Change up your approach. Do you walk up to girls and immediately start thinking of dating her/how to get her number? Think differently; observe some interesting thing about her or the environment that you can comment on, and start simple conversations that way. Do you ask for a girl's number directly? Try asking for her email/Facebook/IM and tell her you want to continue whatever conversation you're having. Are you nervous/fidgety? Go back to #1 and build your confidence doing those things. Other things: pay attention to her body language when talking to her so you can tell if she's interested, make sure you're in a lighthearted or happy mood when you approach girls so that YOU don't give off awkward body language, etc. Just think about the things you do when you approach girls--write them down, which helps me, it may help you--and actively think of ways you can improve.
Also, just remembered--you're getting arrested? Maybe you're coming off too strong. Slow down and just talk to girls like you would another guy, at first. Don't try to flirt/get "romantic" or show too much sexual interest right away--if you're not very experienced, that can backfire. Just play it cool. Good luck man.
What Girls Said 1
I'm afraid you may not like this answer, but your approach to getting a girlfriend is ineffective. I say this through my knowledge of your various exploits. I'm guessing you'll reject my suggestions, but I'll give it a try anyways.
First, stop going after the girls that have been contacting you on the internet. They are trolls. They have always been trolls. I could be a troll! Stop trusting everyone. Have any of your encounters turned out well? Not in the least. It always ends up with the troll tricking you into doing something that only leads to greater notoriety (which draws in more trolls) and unpleasantness.
Second, don't hunt for girls. A "Love Quest" is all well and good, but you don't need to walk around with signs soliciting"boyfriend-free girls." As you have noticed, that will get you arrested. Your... intense... pursuit of a girlfriend is a strong impediment to you actually finding one.
Third, you need a job. I'm sorry, but you are going to have to search a long time before finding a girl willing to support you. Most will want at the least an equal partnership. Go find a job. Minimum wage occupations are hardly ideal, but they are a massive leg up on unemployment. You play video games all the time, maybe you should look for a position in video game testing? That could help you with your attempts to make your own game too.
Fourth, stop feeding the trolls. There is pretty much an *army* of trolls circling you, trying to mess with you. To be honest I'm not completely sure that this ChrisChanSonichu account isn't just a case of trolls trolling trolls. I hope not, since that would put this response to waste... Anyways, stop uploading youtube videos. The darker side of the internet has almost unanimously aligned against you. This is not a good thing. You should keep a lower profile. Maybe a new screen name?
On a side note, if you can't stop yourself from being quite so public online, maybe you could do some counter-espionage? I mean, the trolls are hardly subtle. They post information on their major attacks as they are performing them. Go read the more prominent pages (just a hint, Encyclopedia Dramatica is not the main one) and find out what they are up to.
There are other things of course, but those are the biggest. Finding a girlfriend is not a simple task for most people, so you shouldn't expect it to happen overnight. You just need to, well, mature a bit. Boyfriends and girlfriends are things of the real world. If you really want one, you'll need to develop yourself in the real world, and focus a bit less on the internet.
Hope this helps,

Angus T. Jones not appearing in next two episodes of 'Two and a Half Men'Add to Favorites |
Angus T. Jones chose a good time to release his religious testimony begging fans to stop watching "Two and a Half Men," because he was already scheduled to not appear in the next two episodes of the hit CBS show.
Jones won't appear in the two "Two and a Half Men" episodes that are scheduled to film before the holiday hiatus, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. "The absence of Angus' character Jake, who is in the Army and therefor does not appear in every episode of the show, is pure coincidence," the site writes. The episodes that are filming this month won't air until 2013.
That works out well for Jones, as producers haven't yet spoken to the 19-year-old about the two videos of his testimony released. In them, Jones called "Two and a Half Men" "filth" and begged, "Please stop watching it." It's yet to be seen whether Jones will end up leaving the series.
"Jake from 'Two and a Half Men,' means nothing," Jones says in his testimonial. "He is a non-existent character. If you watch 'Two and a Half Men,' please stop watching 'Two and a Half Men.' I'm on 'Two and a Half Men,' and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it, please stop filling your head with filth."
"It's bad news," he continues. "I don't know if it means any more coming from me, but you might not have heard it otherwise. So just watch out. A lot of people don't like to think about how deceptive the enemy is. He's been doing this for a long longer than any of us have been around. So we can't play around. There's no playing around when it comes to eternity."

Lady Gaga fans attack Adele over VMA nominations -- what's up, Monsters?
The Little Monsters were outraged that their idol only received three nominations this year. Last year, she got 13 noiminations and won eight Moon Men, including video of the year for "Bad Romance."
"CONFIRMED: Gaga will not be wearing the meat dress at the 2011 VMA's because she is afraid Adele will eat her," one angry fan tweeted.
Low blow. This is a far cry from the anti-bullying message of acceptance Lady Gaga promotes.
"NO. i am NOT supporting stupid fat hyped up Adele," says another Little Monster. "In categories that Gaga isn't in I will be supporting Britney Spears and Kanye West."
It's no secret this has been an exceptional year for Adele. Her sophomore album, "21," is the top-selling album of year so far, and with her seven nominations she is ruling the music video scene as well.
While not all Gaga fans feel this way, it's a shame that some feel the need to go out of their way to tear the British singer down. Especially when Mother Monster herself has nothing but praise for her.
These Little Monsters need to wise up before they turn into real monsters.

Why study child and family development?

Recently I ran a poll on my blogs, and among Twitter and LinkedIn users.
The question was: How do you decorate your home for the holidays?
The choices:
1. My whole house is dressed to the nines during the holidays.
2. I usually decorate just a few rooms, mostly where I entertain my guests.
3. My idea of holiday decor: lights on the house and wreath on the door.
4. I don't decorate my home for the holidays.
Interestingly, 100% of respondents chose #2.
Does it mean we are too busy to take care of our whole house's holiday decorations?
What do you think?

The following is an archive of a post made to our

by one of its subscribers.
Jonathan, I've been using Gentoo as my introduction to Linux. I'll give you a newbies perspective.
1) I installed from Live CD. The docs are reasonable and eventually even I got it working.
2) Portage is amazingly simple and works well. It also lets you override and customize anything and everything, so I have the sense that for the more adventurous it is both powerful and dangerous.
3) Gentoo and Portage are made for high speed systems and fast links to the Internet. I have a 1.7Ghz P4 with RAMBUS memory and several times I have had to let installs/updates run overnight.
4) Gentoo and Portage is hard on those without strong technical grounding in UNIX/Linux and kernel compiles. So I'm in big trouble and I've been floundering for a while trying to recover from a kernel compile.
I'm very impressed with Gentoo and Portage, if you are a person with strong Linux skills and a fast PC I think you would find it very interesting.

The University of Colorado Police Department has received multiple reports of e-mail scams targeting CU students. If an online "employer" promises a pre-paid salary in the form of a high-dollar check, but then asks you to send a money order back for the balance, it is a scam!
In a case from earlier this month, a student received an e-mail offering her a part-time work-from-home job. She received two checks from her "employer" that totaled $6,640. The student was instructed to deposit the checks into her personal account and then forward money orders (using her own funds) to an address in California for a total amount of $5,960. The "employer's" checks did not clear, but the victim's money orders went through – leading to a loss of $5,960.
In another recent example, a student received a similar job advertisement via e-mail, promising $300 for just five hours of "business consultancy services" work per week. When the student received a $2,900 check and was asked to send back $2,600, she became suspicious and contacted CU Police.
CU Police and The Internet Crime Complaint Center offer the following tips:

Basic Preparation
Couscous is used in place of rice, as a side dish, in cold salads, in soups, mixed with vegetables and as a breakfast cereal. Couscous takes on the flavor of whatever its cooked with, making it extremely versatile. Couscous is made from durum wheat Semolina Flour, that is moistened with water and rolled until little balls are formed. A granule of traditional Couscous is about the size of a pin head.
Use in place of rice. Cooked, chilled Couscous makes a delicious salad ingredient. Its small size makes it perfect to use for a breakfast cereal. Use in soups, curries and stir-frys. Couscous takes on the flavor of whatever its cooked with, making it extremely versatile. To pump up the flavor, substitute chicken broth for water, sprinkle in a bit of coarse salt and drizzle with a good-quality olive oil.
Bring 1-1/4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Pour in 1 cup of couscous, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve. Yields 3 cups cooked.

Popular Children's Author Janet Wong to Lead 23rd
WHAT: The 23rd annual Whitworth Writing Rally for students in pre-school through 6th grade is an opportunity for children to develop their reading and writing skills with assistance from a professional author and trained educators. Between 600 and 700 students from the Inland Northwest are expected to participate in the 2006 rally, which will be led by noted author and poet Janet Wong, who has written numerous stories and books for children from birth to high-school age.
During the Whitworth Writing Rally each child, accompanied by a parent or guardian, will take part in one of two sessions. Wong will share her stories with participants, and then children will work in small groups creating and illustrating stories. Each group will be led by trained educators with expertise in storytelling, writing, illustrating and bookbinding.
This year, a special session will be offered for 6th-grade students. The students will write a story in partnership with Ballet Spokane and the Whitworth Theatre Department. This story will later be choreographed and then will be performed next spring by Ballet Spokane dancers. The children participating in this session will receive tickets to the spring performance.
After each session, children are invited to attend a punch-and-cookies reception in Whitworth Presbyterian Church's Quall Hall, adjacent to the Whitworth campus, where they will have the opportunity to share the books they have created. They can also meet Wong during the reception and have her autograph her books, which will be available for purchase.
Wong has been recognized for her contributions to the world of multicultural children's literature and is the recipient of awards including the International Reading Association's Celebrate Literacy Award and the Stone Center Recognition of Merit, given by the Claremont Graduate School. Wong read from her book Apple Pie 4th of July at the 2003 White House Easter Egg Roll; she has also been appointed to two terms on the Commission on Literature of the National Council of Teachers of English.
WHEN: Saturday, Nov. 4. The first session is 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. The second session is 11 a.m.-3 p.m. A parent or guardian must accompany each child participating in the rally.
WHERE: Cowles Memorial Auditorium at Whitworth College, 300 W. Hawthorne Road
COST: $16 for each child. The registration fee covers writing materials and a T-shirt for each participant. Registration discounts and some full scholarships are available for low-income families.
HOW TO REGISTER: Register online at www.thewritingrally.org, or call (509) 777-4404 and leave your name, phone number, and mailing address. A registration packet will be mailed to you. Completed registration materials must be received no later than Oct. 30.

I would like to start off by sharing a story. We bought a van for its reputation of high safety ratings, back in the late 1990's we got it through a broker so we did not know everything about it like we usual would until the day we bought it and then got in the van and drove. It was a smooth ride, and as we drove we kept on discovering more and more buttons, tools and equipment that our new van had on it beside the expected things. I remember how excited and grateful we felt as we drove down the highway that day. Today I had a similar experience in this feeling of gratitude and excitement. 17 months ago I began using doTerra essential oils. I had smelled some essential oils being used in the home of very good friends of ours 14 years ago but never asked much about them. Aug 2010 I was given a few small samples from a friend and began to experiment with using them. Then at Christmas time I came across an opportunity to receive free frankincense oil (a value of $93.00) by placing a Loyalty Rewards order and becoming a distributor with DoTerra. I had a huge curiosity for how frankincense worked and smelled as I knew it was one of the gifts to the Savior. Over the last 12 months I have taken opportunity to learn more and more about essential oils, to experiment with using them, and share them with others. One of my first purchases when signing up was the Physicians Kit. This is made up of 10 oils which have pretty much replaced all the over counter medications used in our home. I also got a Modern Essentials Book which tells about each essential oil in detail. I set the box open with the list of what to use each oil for and how to use it on my counter and began to put the oils to the test. Time after time I was completely amazed with the how simple they were to use and how fantastic they worked. I was also able to search for specific needs on a very helpful website. Next I purchased the Aroma Touch Therapy kit. I have loved learning how to use it and now teach others how to use it also. This kit has 8 essential oils. In combination these 8 essential oils have a wonderful affect when used as demonstrated in a very easy to follow DVD. This helps to reduce stress, build immunity, aid in muscle function as well as detox the body. I now perform the Aroma Touch Therapy on others as well. One neat gift that comes from giving an Aroma Touch Therapy is that the receiver also benefits from placing the oils being absorbed through the pours of the hands as well as through the Aroma. DoTerra products are Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (*CPTG) essential oils that can be used 3 different ways: Aromatically, Topically, and Internally because they are *Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. I think of them as better than organic! Even better than the feeling of driving my van that day on the highway discovering all the great things it had to offer my family is my feelings and the potential of doTerra essential oils in my home. They are continually giving me a feeling of gratitude and exhilaration while empowering me to care for myself and my family. I would love to share with you more stories, information and tips to enjoying essential oils.
Essential Oils: InsideOut
What are essential oils?
Essential oils are non-water-based phytochemicals found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. They can be very fragrant. Essential oils are very clean and crisp to the touch and are immediately absorbed by the skin within about 30 seconds. In addition to giving plants their distinctive smells, essential oils provide plants with protection against predators and disease.
doTERRA (CPTG) Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade® essential oils represent the safest, purest, and most beneficial essential oils available today. They are gently and skillfully distilled from plants that have been patiently harvested at the perfect moment by experienced growers from around the world for ideal extract composition and efficacy.You're going to love how amazingly they work.

See Sir J. G. Frazer, Adonis, Attis, Osiris (1907, new ed. 1961).
Attis was originally a local semi-deity of Phrygia, associated with the great Phrygian trading city of Pessinos, which lay under the lee of Mount Agdistis. The mountain was personified as a daemon, whom foreigners associated with the Great Mother Cybele.
The story of his origins from Agdistis, as told to the traveller Pausanias, have some distinctly non-Greek elements: Pausanias was told that the daemon Agdistis initially bore both male and female attributes. But the Olympian gods, fearing Agdistis, cut off the male organ and cast it away. There grew up from it an almond-tree, and when its fruit was ripe, Nana who was a daughter of the river Sangarios picked an almond and laid it in her bosom. The almond disappeared, and she became pregnant. Nana abandoned the baby (Attis). The infant was tended by a he-goat. As Attis grew, his long-haired beauty was godlike, and Agdistis as Cybele, then fell in love with him. But the foster parents of Attis sent him to Pessinos, where he was to wed the king's daughter. According to some versions the King of Pessinos was Midas. Just as the marriage-song was being sung, Agdistis/Cybele appeared in her transcendent power, and Attis went mad and cut off his genitals. Attis' father-in-law-to-be, the king who was giving his daughter in marriage, followed suit, prefiguring the self-castrating corybantes who devoted themselves to Cybele. But Agdistis repented and saw to it that the body of Attis should neither rot at all nor decay.
Attis was reborn as the evergreen pine. At the temple of Cybele/Rhea in Pessinos, the mother of the gods was still called Agdistis, the geographer Strabo recounted.
As neighboring Lydia came to control Phrygia, the cult of Attis was given a Lydian context too. Attis is said to have introduced to Lydia the cult of the Mother Goddess Cybele, incurring the jealousy of Zeus, who sent a boar to destroy the Lydian crops. Then certain Lydians, with Attis himself, were killed by the boar. Pausanias adds, to corroborate this story, that the Gauls who inhabited Pessinos abstained from pork. This myth element may have been invented solely to explain the unusual dietary laws of the Lydian Gauls. In Rome, the eunuch followers of Cybele were known as Galli ("Gauls").
As the orgiastic cult of Cybele spread from Anatolia to Greece and eventually to Rome in the time of Claudius, the cult of Attis, her reborn eunuch consort, accompanied her. The first literary reference to Attis is the subject of one of the most famous poems by Catullus. but it appears that the cult of Attis at Rome was not attached to the earlier-established cult of Cybele until the early Empire.
A marble bas-relief of Cybele in her chariot and Attis, from Magna Graecia, is in the archaeological museum, Venice. A finely executed silvery brass Attis that had been ritually consigned to the Mosel was recovered during construction in 1963 and is kept at the Rheinisches Landesmuseum of Trier (see link for illustration). It shows the typically Anatolian costume of the god: trousers fastened together down the front of the legs with toggles and the Phrygian cap.
In 2007, in the ruins of Herculaneum a wooden throne was discovered adorned with a relief of Attis beneath a sacred pine tree, gathering cones. Historical records indicate that the cult of Attis was popular in Herculaneum at the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD.

RECENTLY the media reported suspected cases of food poisoning in restaurants and hotels. In the latest incident, twenty one people were rushed to King Faisal Hospital in Kigali after suspected food poisoning at a big hotel. The group included visitors from neighbouring countries who had come for a workshop in Kigali.
Many of the cases have been reported at places where the highest standards of hygiene should be observed. It is in places whose core business is selling foods and beverages. Hygiene should be the primary objective in maintaining and running a hotel or restaurant. The recent cases raise questions about the effectiveness in monitoring and regulating the food business.
When one or two restaurants are implicated in such incidents, they give a bad image to the many stakeholders in the food and hotel business who are meeting the required hygiene and standards. Stern measures should be taken against the hotels or restaurants where such incidents have occured.
Health experts say the source of poor food in some restaurants could primarily be the poor storage facilities. Food stores are supposed to be hygienic. The health inspectors should ensure that food joints which don't meet the basic food storage standards are closed down. A crack down on restaurants that don't meet the minimum standards should be an ongoing exercise until all people in the food business adhere to the minimum hygiene requirements.
In extreme cases, licenses of perpetual culprits should be revoked.
Hotels and restaurants should be compelled to have hygienic kitchens and food storage facilities. The cooks should be medically examined and fit to avoid transmitting food-borne diseases. Every food business must meet the food and hygiene conditions before it is licensed.

It took an amazingly long time to get a reply back from my phone calls
to the adopt-a-highway people... turns out that talking to the DMV booth
at GTC is actually the channel I got useful replies from first.
It turns out that volunteers can do the cleaning themselves, and this=20
appears to be the preferred method. However, organizations can also
contract with professional firms to do the tasks instead... in some
locations professional contractors are required.
Available activities:
Participation can include one or more of the following activities.
- Removing litter (work frequency varies with location).
- Planting and establishing trees, or wildflowers.
- Removing graffiti.
- Controlling vegetation.
The literature seems to indicate that "advertising of a group" is=20
*not* a valid use of the program... but I think it will be okay that
we get a nice sign out of this.
The program is very formal in duties and responsibilities of the groups
that do this work... in that a designated coordinator is required to
undergo safety training, safety equipment must be used at all times,=20
notice must be given to Caltrans people before clean up days, etc...
nothing seems to be a show stopper.
The following brochure does a good overview of the program:

PESHAWAR, Pakistan: Suspected Taliban militants bombed four boys' schools in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt on Thursday, officials said, in the Islamists' latest attack on government educational institutions.
No one was injured in the pre-dawn blasts in Mohmand tribal district, where officials said Taliban attacks have now destroyed more than 100 schools.
"Militants from TTM (Tehreek-e-Taliban Mohmand) blew up the buildings of four schools at around 2:30 am (2130 GMT)," an intelligence official in Mohmand told AFP.
Liaqat Ali, a government official, confirmed the incident and told AFP that militants planted locally made explosives to dynamite the school buildings.
"All the four schools were completely destroyed, the number of schools destroyed in Mohmand is now more than 100," Ali said.
Islamist militants opposed to co-education have destroyed hundreds of schools, mostly for girls, in northwest Pakistan in recent years.
A Taliban gunman shot and wounded schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai for campaigning for girls' education in Pakistan's Swat Valley on October 9, in an attack that shocked the world.

Exhibition illustrates the dream of Michael Kwong
The latest works by local illustrator Michael Kwong will be showcased from tomorrow (December 22) to January 5, next year at the Exhibition Gallery of Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
In the past, illustrations served as an aid to words. However, with the growing popularity of comics, animation, graphic books and cartoon characters and the rising standards of today's illustrators, illustration has developed into an independent art form that claims an equal standing with words, and is perhaps even starting to surpass them. Illustration is now widely used in many fields, including advertising, mass media, publishing, TV and film. In recent years, many cartoon characters depicted by illustrators, such as Hello Kitty from Japan, and works by Jimmy Liao, of Taiwan, have also been turned into commercial products, or even made the transition to the big screen. Illustration has evolved into a creative industry of considerable market value.
Young local artist Michael Kwong has a passion for drawing and since childhood has aspired to hold a solo exhibition. To realise his dream of becoming a painter, he studied illustration at the Columbus College of Art and Design, USA. He then returned to Hong Kong, founded Locomotive Production Limited and engaged in illustration, product and graphic design. In this journey, he faced many difficulties and obstacles.
In this exhibition, Michael Kwong has chosen illustration as his artistic language. Entitled as "Es Muss Sein" (German for "It Must Be"), the exhibition refers to words written on the movement of a string quartet composed by Beethoven, representing Michael's determination to make his dream fulfilled.
Comprising four sections, this exhibition fully reflects Michael's diverse attempts and endeavours in creation of illustration. The first section contains story illustrations, as represented by several pieces of his past work for children's books. The second is dedicated to conceptual drawing, an expression of the artist's inner feelings. The third consists of character design, an aspect in which Michael is well versed. Items on display include drawings of cartoon characters and three-dimensional figures he created. "The Galaxy Bunch Series" makes up the fourth section which features a group of adventurous extra-terrestrial friends on a journey to explore the universe.
The exhibition, third of the Artists in the Neighbourhood Scheme III, is organised by the Art Promotion Office (APO) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The exhibition is also the first collaboration between APO and the Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR). A selection of the works by Michael Kwong is also on display at the KCR Art Corner in East Tsim Sha Tsui Station form this December to January, next year to bring arts to the passengers.
Free guided tours will be offered to the public and school groups. For bookings, contact the Community Art Team of the APO on 3101 2712 or 3101 2713.
To learn more about the artist and his work, visit the APO's website:
The Hong Kong Cultural Centre is located at 10 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. The Exhibition Gallery is open daily from 10am to 8pm. Admission is free.
Ends/Wednesday, December 21, 2005

Chinese cargo carrier Great Wall Airlines is launching
services from Tianjin to Europe, marking the first time the dedicated cargo
carrier will be operating long-haul flights from Beijing's port city.
Great Wall Airlines president Tan Kaiping says that on 30
March the airline will commence a five-times-weekly cargo service from its
Shanghai Pudong base to Tianjin and the service will go on to Amsterdam.
Two of these flights will also go onto Manchester after Amsterdam,
he adds.
Great Wall currently operates a fleet of three Boeing
747-400Fs and Tan says it is now "in the process of negotiating a contract" for
the lease of a fourth. This aircraft will arrive later this year in time for
the launch of services to the USA, he says.
Tan declines to provide details on the planned US services
but says the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has already granted
it traffic rights. Next month Great Wall will announce its US schedule, he
The CAAC announced last August that Great Wall had applied
for rights to operate Shanghai-Anchorage-Los Angeles return and
Shanghai-Anchorage-Chicago return services.
Tianjin is the main port city near Beijing and is being
positioned as a cargo hub. It is also where Korean Air's new Chinese airline
cargo joint venture, Grand Star, is based. Grand Star has applied to operate
from Tianjin to destinations such as Brussels and Frankfurt in Europe.
Great Wall is a joint venture between Singapore Airlines
Cargo, Singapore investment company Dahlia Investments and Beijing Aerospace
Satellite Applications.

Darkwing Duck is an Emmy-nominated American animated television series produced by The Walt Disney Company that ran from 1991-1995 on both the syndicated programming block The Disney Afternoon and Saturday mornings on ABC. It featured an eponymous superhero anthropomorphic duck with the alter ego of Drake Mallard (voiced by Jim Cummings).
The main characters were:
While the show establishes its own conventions, it is largely regarded as an affectionate satire on superhero mythos and lore, some obvious, some subtle, and others quite witty. Darkwing's costume, gas gun, and flashy introductions are all direct references to pulp heroes such as the Sandman, Crimson Avenger, The Shadow, and The Green Hornet. The fictional city of St. Canard, Darkwing's rogues gallery, and the relative darkness of Darkwing as compared to other Disney heroes reflect Batman (or perhaps Zorro or The Green Hornet) influences. In addition, in the episode "Time and Punishment" Gosalyn is transported into a future clearly based upon that of Batman depicted in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns", with Darkwing having become much more hardline and strict on crime, wearing a suit of armour and driving a tank. As well, the episode Tiff of the Titans, with the mysterious Darkwing and the straight-arrow Gizmoduck, played on the famous relationship between Batman and Superman. At one point in the episode, Darkwing asks, "Who needs super powers when you have a super mind?" while Gizmoduck remarks that he thinks Darkwing's crime-fighting style is "disreputable, disturbed, and possibly devious." In addition, there are Marvel Universe references such as the secret intelligence organization, S.H.U.S.H., a parody of Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D., and the episode Aduckyphobia shows Darkwing being bitten by a mutated spider and growing six arms. A few James Bond parodies exist as well, such as the villain Steelbeak, whose beak makes him similar to the Bond villain Jaws, and his personality and trappings are similar to Bond villain Ernst Stavro Blofeld.
Although the show only premiered in 1991, Darkwing Duck was shown in the Disney Afternoon title sequence in 1990.
The character of Darkwing Duck appeared occasionally in the series Bonkers, and earlier Gosalyn appeared in the series Raw Toonage. In an episode of the Aladdin TV series, Genie changes his form from a French waiter into Darkwing Duck.
Darkwing Duck and Ducktales are directly connected by two characters crossing over into the world of Darkwing Duck. The first is Launchpad, Darkwing's sidekick, who is a longtime staple of DuckTales, and GizmoDuck, an armored hero who became a popular part of the DuckTales cast during the series' run. Also, in the episode "In Like Blunt", DuckTales villains Flintheart Glomgold, Magica De Spell, and The Beagle Boys make non-speaking cameo appearances.
The show was later referenced in a Pluto cartoon on Mickey Mouse Works as "Darkwing Dog". (The same treatment was given to Doug (called "Brand Spanking New Dog") and Mouse Works itself ("Pluto's Dog Works")).
Over three seasons there were a total of 91 episodes.
That a Disney-related show had any reference to Satan, and was even allowed to be aired, is highly unusual. The same "Devil" also appeared in the episode "Dead Duck," but most of that episode was evidently a dream sequence, and the devilish character whispered his name into Darkwing's ear, so the viewer was unable to hear it.
Seasons 1 and 2 were aired simultaneously in the Autumn of 1991. Season 1 on syndication as part of The Disney Afternoon block of shows. Seasons 2 and 3 aired on Saturday mornings on ABC.
All episodes remained in syndicated reruns on The Disney Afternoon until 1995 and then returned to the line up from 1996 to 1997.
The series was last seen in the U.S. on Toon Disney, but due to bad scheduling and the addition of Jetix, it has vanished completely from the network. Along with a number of other shows, it was removed from schedules in November 2004. Toon Disney aired the Christmas episode featuring Bushroot on December 25, 2004. The show was last seen on Toon Disney in the United States on January 19, 2007 as part of the Toon Disney Wild Card Stack, and is currently airing on Toon Disney in Scandinavia.
Four VHS tapes, each containing two episodes of Darkwing Duck, were released under the title Darkwing Duck: His Favorite Adventures in the United States on September 20, 1991 – "Darkly Dawns the Duck". However, most countries around the world only received releases of "Darkly Dawns the Duck" and "Justice Ducks Unite!". Each video came with two glow-in-the-Darkwing trading cards. Featured on the cards were, Darkwing, Launchpad, Gosalyn, Honker, Negaduck, Bushroot, Megavolt, and Taurus Bulba.
Rumors of a DVD release of the series started in early 2006, and in May the rumors were proven true. A 3-disc DVD box set entitled Darkwing Duck: Volume 1 was released on August 29, 2006. It includes 27 episodes, including the 2-part pilot "Darkly Dawns the Duck", which was presented in edited form as opposed to the uncut version's release on VHS.
The second volume DVD containing the next 27 episodes was released August 7, 2007.
There was a Darkwing Duck video game released by Capcom on the Nintendo Entertainment System and the Game Boy. Another game was also made for the TurboGrafx-16.

His other common introductory catchphrase was, "I am the terror that flaps in the night…!", usually followed by a somewhat strained metaphor, similar to the declarations of Batman.

Wait.....during the vote Yorko, Dunbar and Houghton just sat there and didn't say anything?
I really hope there is video of what that looked like.
Did it seem like any of them wanted to vote against and might prevent an override of the Mayor's veto (if that happens)?
On top of the cancellation of the LPD consolidation and the amendments to the budget, it seems like the Mayor's office is taking a beating. If the Casino eventually goes down, not a ton to show from Virg.
I guess the $150k+ spent on the study went to good use. I wonder if we'll ever get to see the "full detailed" report that we paid C2AE to complete....doubtful.
What an interesting turn of events......

Nationals beat Phillies 4-2
WASHINGTON (AP) - A smile crept across Adam LaRoche's face while he rounded the bases Tuesday night after hitting his career-high 33rd homer to become the third Nationals player with 100 RBIs in a season, another celebratory moment for NL East champion Washington during a 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
When the Nationals Park gates opened, early-arriving fans in the crowd of 33,546 were treated to a video montage of alcohol-spraying and general mirth-making from a night earlier, when the home team clinched its first division title since moving from Montreal in 2005.
Even the guy playing the national anthem on his bat-violin Tuesday wore a gray T-shirt marking the accomplishment.

Last-minute shoppers, this is for you: recommended books for the mom who loves to garden (or might want to use her floral bounty for modern DIY flower arrangements). As you'll see, these authors might provide just the right gift ideas. Pair a book with a spring bouquet? Or perhaps with a botanically accented cocktail? Read on ...
Image 1 of 2
'The Flower Recipe Book'
The duo behind the California floral design firm Studio Choo have released this gorgeous book filled with modern arrangements. Each is set up as a recipe, with a list of ingredients and step-by-step instructions on how to put the design together. As shown in our full post, the principles hold up nicely even if you substitute ingredients.
