Communication with Corrie before our day trip to BI was very friendly and helpful. We reserved a 1-hour tour for our family, to include 2 kayaks shared between myself, wife and 2 young sons (ages 3,7). The trip was flawless, we met Corrie, boarded the kayaks and paddled around the Pond for an hour while Corrie pointed out the sea... More
Just returned from Block Island where we went on our second kayaking adventure with Corrie. I cannot recommend Pond and Beyond enough. What a pleasant experience of the Great Salt Pond with an expert who really cares about her customers! We love kayaking, and we love getting out on the water with Corrie!
The owner / tour guide, Cory, is lots of fun. She is professional and helpful, with a very pleasant, fun demeanor. Because of unfavorable weather she had to combine tours the day that we visited, but deftly handled the group of twelve making everyone feel safe and very welcomed despite varying experience and ability levels. Great Salt Pond is a... More
Corine was very helpful with renting us kayaks and telling us where to explore. The day we happen to go was very windy which could have been challenging but she told us where to go where the wind wasn't. We enjoyed exploring two small inlets at the southern most point of the Great Salt Pond where we saw ducks and... More
Our family loves Block Island and we always find something new to do or see on each vacation. We decided to do a kayak tour this summer and boy was it great! Corrie was full of information about the island, its waterways and ecosystems. Our 13 year old and 10 year old loved it. Corrie and her staff were very... More
As a wheelchair user, I often miss out on these kinds of activities! But not in this case! Corrie is accommodating, encouraging and made me feel welcome from the moment I first contacted her. She is in her element in the pond, providing info about the island, the pond and features of both--she is from the island and knows her... More
thank you!! More
An enjoyable afternoon out on the water - Corrie was great with our 6 year old - having him solo for the first time - being ready to tow him if needed - but he was having such a good time he could have gone on for longer than the two hour tours. A great way to spend time on... More
thank you!!!! More
This was the highlight of our entire vacation. The guided tour gives you so much information about the fish, fowl, and plant life, not to mention very interesting tidbits about the island. Pond and Beyond is all about kayaking and making sure you have a great time. Very fair prices and very accommodating to schedules. Don't pass this one up.
A group of seven of us had a fantastic evening with Corrie while visiting Block Island for the first time this summer. Her kayak tour was the only organized tour we planned for our five days and it helped to inform the rest of our visit. Her insights and knowledge about the history and current events of the island were... More

Tsutomu "Ben" Wakaye was born on January 2, 1913 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The family moved to San Francisco where he studied German and Latin and graduated from Galileo High School in 1931. Wakaye then worked as an insurance salesman. Described as quiet and introverted, Wakaye loved to read Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. With college not an option for him during the Great Depression, Wakaye worked as an insurance salesman until he was expelled from his home after Pearl Harbor.
At Heart Mountain, Wayake met Frank Emi and other leaders of the Fair Play Committee, and with his background in accounting and insurance, Wakaye was elected treasurer of the group. Wakaye refused induction and was convicted in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with the first group of 63 resisters. He was brought back to federal court to stand trial a second time as one of the seven leaders accused of conspiracy to counsel draft evasion.
Wakaye said serving two years at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas, taught him one thing: "Patience." Wakaye rejoined his family in a small basement apartment in San Francisco, where the only work he could find with his prison record was as a janitor. He died in 1952 at the age of 39 of kidney failure.

Actress Parineeti Chopra says if she has an option to flirt with someone in Bollywood, it would be the current heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor.
Mesmerised by the young Kapoor scion, the actress calls him "one of her favourite actors of the current generation".
And why not? After his unimpressive debut with "Saawariya" in 2007, Ranbir climbed up the success ladder with his performances in "Rocket Singh - Salesman Of The Year", "Wake Up Sid", "Raajneeti", "Rockstar" and "Barfi!" and has become an actor to reckon with.
His forthcoming is "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" and he also has "Besharam" and Anurag Basu's untitled biopic on legendary singer Kishore Kumar in the pipeline.
"If I had to choose (whom to flirt with in Bollywood) then it would be Ranbir Kapoor," said Parineeti, who made her debut with 2011 film "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl" and later featured in political thriller "Ishaqzaade".
The 24-year-old was talking at the launch of Chinese Internet giant Tencent's We Chat messenger application.
Currently endorsing a host of different brands, she said: "For me, I need to have some kind of personal connect (with the brands I endorse)."
"I am endorsing few different brands right now and all those brands and I have some kind of personal connect. Either I have used that in my childhood or I am using that currently," added the actress seen in commercials for Maaza and Kurkure, among others.
As far as films are concerned, she is busy shooting for "Hasee Toh Phasee" with Sidharth Malhotra.

Originally written on BlackSportsOnline | Last updated 2/21/13
Nothing like a bit of humility to help end a Thursday night on a good note. In this story courtesy of Larry Brown Sports, St. Louis Rams running back Terrance Ganaway has quite the story. Ganaway who just finished his rookie season with the Rams made a decent living this year, bring in $390,000. That's still comes out to $195,000 plus after Uncle Sam gets his cut. Ganaway wanting to save money, be an example to his children, and most importantly stay out of trouble took a job at Jimmy Johns sandwich shop making $7 to just that. Someone suggested Terrence come to Jimmy John's because they were hiring. Three weeks later, Ganaway had his off-season job. Ganaway then explained to people why a NFL player chose to work a minimum wage in his off-season. Kudos to a sixth round pick for showing some humility, maturity, and just all around general sense of money management. He may not be making that much money at Jimmy John's, but he's surely not losing any of the NFL money he earned.

How NOT to start the new year!

(ouch! I've reformatted the post those who like paragraphs)
Nice day for a ride...
Jan 3rd started out a beauty of a day for this time of year. (highs in the sixties-great daay for a ride). Most of my usual riding buds were out of town for whatever reason so I thought I would hook up with some folks at the CrossBar Ranch in Davis OK. for some rock ridin'. I load my exc 450 on the trailer and throw the gearbag in the back seat and off I went. I already broke the first rule of offroading - Don't go alone!
The Ranch
I live in a suburb of OKC and it is approx. 1 ¾ hr drive south to the "ranch". i see 2 people I know there so I won't be solo after all. After gearin'up we went for a short warm up ride. Those who have never been to the CrossBar need to know that this is 8000 or so acres of wooded , rocky, land with about 35 miles of trails on it and some of it can be a little challenging especially with a little moisture on it. However it was dry this day-good riding. By the time everyone was ready, there was about 8 riders in the group including an atv rider who to this day I don't know his name and a beginner rider on a KTM 2smoker. I was the last of the group so as not to let the beginner get to far behind or lost.
Impatience, Grasshopper.
We had ridden about 13 miles an coming up a hilltop to a great view, everyone decided to stop for a break and enjoy the view. (If this seems long winded-it is for a reason). After a short break-off we go. We were coming up on a long, winding, rocky downhill and the beginner was tensing up and getting a little squirrely and was slowing way down. i was getting a little flustered so I found a place to make a clean pass to go around. My intention was to stop him a ways down and try to give him a few pointers on rocks (not to happen).
I ride a few hundred feet to a and make a bit of a right turn and I see a tree limb sticking out in such a way as it COULD snag my throttle cables and (you get the picture) but what I didn't see was the tree branch to my left. I forgot to add that I was carrying a backpack with my helmet cam gear and yes the film was rolling.
This branch somehow got under my left pack strap and all I remember is my left hand being stretched off the handlebar and I could hear my right hand roll on the throttle and
I felt a sharp stabbing pain on my left side and I felt myself gasping for air.
I lay on the ground for what seemed like forever-my entire left side from my hip to my neck racked in pain. What the hell just happened? I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw was my front fender about thirty feet up hill from me...
More to come later. time for my pain pill.

I've been redesigning part of Natwest's online banking site in my spare time. It's a site I visit most days, and although their current design could be worse, there's a lot of room for improvement. It isn't full width (it's aligned to the left with a big white panel on the right) nor is it fun or responsive... and let's face it, banking needs to be made as fun as possible to make it feel less like a chore!
There are no new feature ideas incorporated into this design, it is purely a fun redesign using a similar layout and colours. I felt it should stay pretty professional considering this is a real-life bank!
Would love to hear your feedback, especially those of you who bank with Natwest! You can view retina pixels and the wireframe I put together prior to designing this.

President Bush calls win 'testament of courage'
Updated: July 25, 2005, 9:24 AM ETAssociated Press
WASHINGTON -- Cyclist Lance Armstrong had barely caught his breath amid the cheers of his record seventh-straight victory in the Tour de France on Sunday when he took a call from President Bush.
``Our country and the world are incredibly proud of you,'' Bush told the fellow Texan.
The White House said the president called Paris from his retreat at Camp David to congratulate Armstrong for ``a great triumph of the human spirit.''
Bush said the victory was ``a testament ...

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Pro Tools 10 Essential Training with musician and producer David Franz illuminates the process of recording, editing, mixing, and mastering in Avid Pro Tools, the industry-standard software for music and postproduction. The course covers recording live audio and adding effects on the fly, creating music with virtual instruments and plug-ins, editing for time and pitch manipulation, creating a musical score, and mixing and mastering a track.
Pro Tools is best known for its audio editing capabilities and the reason that digital audio editing is so amazing is that it's nondestructive. Let's say I start with a perfectly good guitar part right here and I am going to play a little bit of it for you. (Music Playing) And then on the track below, I've got this chopped up and moved around version of the original, and let's hear what that sounds like.
(Music Playing) Now the edits in the second track don't actually affect the underlying audio file, the edits are nondestructive. Pro Tools does not actually touch the audio files, it just tells the hard drive when to play back certain parts of each audio file. In other videos in this course I'll show you how to make edits like this, but here I just want to explain what the audio clips are and how audio clips work in Pro Tools.
In Pro Tools speak, each track or section of the track is called the clip and you see each of these little pieces on this track right here, these are all clips. Each clip shown here appears in the clips list. These new clips are created when you record or edit a track by cutting, pasting, separating, moving, or a variety of other editing tasks and there are several types of clips that you'll see in a Pro Tools session. The first, which is highlighted here, is a whole file clip and these are displayed in bold in the clips list. They're created when you record, import, or consolidate a track and they reference an entire audio file on your hard drive.
The clip up above called A stutter is one that I've actually named myself, and it's called a user-defined clip, and they're made when you actually edit something yourself, and then you name it yourself. Down below here we have auto created clips, and they're shown in regular text like the user-defined clips, except they are created automatically when you make an edit, like when you separate or trim a clip. And there's a clip type that's not shown here is called an offline clip, and that's shown in italics.
There are clips that cannot be located or are unavailable when opening a session and we don't have any of those here in this session. Down here we have a multi-channel clip, and this references multiple audio files for stereo or surround tracks. These are shown as one clip in the clips list, but there is triangle next to their name that you can click and show the individual clips that make up this multi-channel clip. You'll note that when you click on a clip in the clips list like this, the clip will be highlighted in the Edit window here and if you choose one here in the Edit window, you can see it highlighted here in the clips list.
So now you know about the nondestructive nature of audio editing in Pro Tools, and about the different types of clips and how they interact with the clips list, this knowledge will help you understand the editing techniques shown in other videos in this course.

Your letters: April 15, 2009
A political issue?
I recently went to the Thousand Oaks Library and the Senior Center to leave brochures about the Walk For Darfur/Walk to End Genocide on June 7. I left dumbfounded. I was told they could not display the brochures because it is a political issue!
Are there really two schools of thought on this — one opposing genocide and one for it? Well, yes, I suppose the Arab Islamic government in Sudan is in favor of exterminating the Black Muslim population of Darfur. But I always thought that this was the kind of thing Americans, no matter what political party they belong to, stood up against. When did genocide stop being a crime against humanity and become a political issue?
I cannot believe that we have become so "politically correct" that we are afraid to stand up for what is right. More than 400,000 people have been murdered and 5 million more have been forced from their homes. The villages are burned by the government-sponsored Janjaweed (devils on horseback), the men are killed, many young boys have been forced into the army, the women and young girls are raped.
What part of this is open for political discussion? Are we afraid that by saving lives we might be insulting those who want this genocide to go on?
The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudan President Omar Hassan al-Bashir for crimes against humanity and war crimes. In response, he expelled all of the humanitarian aid groups and confiscated their assets. This leaves the people in the refugee camps without food, water, sanitation or medical care. Eighty percent of the children were already malnourished.
Very soon, we will see 100,000 or more people a month dying in the camps. Millions of lives are at immediate risk, and I am told that this is a political issue!
I have gotten over being dumbfounded. I am outraged!
— Tobi Ruth Love, Thousand Oaks
Get rid of lawns
There is no water shortage. There is a water wastage. It is clear that we are confronted with a very serious water problem. It is also obvious that we must do a better job of managing our limited supply of water. There is a simple way to significantly reduce our waste of water.
Millions of gallons of water are used every day just for residential lawns. These lawns should be converted to attractive desert-style gardens that require minimal water. Gardeners could still maintain the gardens. Lawns should be restricted to parks and athletic fields. This would allow water for the farmers to produce more jobs and revenue.
— Ray Linder, Westlake Village
Obama disgraces U.S.
President Barack Obama has disgraced us by bashing the United States all across Europe and by apologizing as if we and former President George Bush did anything but try to help people around the world.
I can see by letters to The Star that many Democrats do want socialism to replace capitalism, that they want doctors and nurses to take less pay for providing healthcare to those who do not contribute to the system financially. They don't seem to mind the corruption of the Constitution through the power grabs by the White House and the lies of the Democrats in Congress who continue to cover up their own responsibility for the current financial mess by spending taxpayer money that has not even been earned yet.
They keep serving up the old rhetoric that Republicans are for the rich, while hoping no one notices that AIG, Bernie Madoff, General Electric and Exxon Oil gave more than 80 percent of their political donations to Democrats. Or that Warren Buffett, who backed Obama, made $13 billion off the bank bailouts, which he advocated. Or that George Soros, another Obama supporter who dislikes the U.S., made billions of dollars from the Wall Street meltdown. Or that U.S. Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., ensured that employees of Fannie Mae got $219 million in bonuses and his own staffers got bonuses, all while Frank loudly protested bonuses.
This country is really divided between those who "cling to our guns and religion" and the left, which has no direction to offer us other than financial and moral bankruptcy.
While Obama stretches out the hand of government control, he covers up the blue skies of freedom and leaves only the gray clouds of oppression.
— Patti Chiarelli, Thousand Oaks
Find a new pundit
Re: George Will's April 8 essay, "New car designer in chief":
It wasn't clear if Will was sticking it to General Motors or President Barack Obama — that is, until he referred to GM as a "mendicant." Wow, a mendicant with a private jet?
To alleviate this sometimes confusion, maybe we could "embed" our columnists, like another George did in Iraq. Remember the wildly successful "shock and awe" and "mission accomplished" news items? We could sweep out the current pundits every election and put in some new guys. Yes we can.
— Charles Vanderbilt, Simi Valley
How to deal with pirates
The reason the world finds itself in this situation with Somali pirates is that we failed to deal with the problem when they only had fishing boats and landing nets. Now that they have become rich from the ransoms, they have swift boats, AK-47s, GPS and satellite phones.
Well, the cat's out of the bag now, and if our fearful leaders think this illiterate slime will ooze back to whence it came, they are in for a rude awakening. The pirates' choice consists of capturing one or two ships and retiring as millionaires without even risking their lives or returning to abject poverty. Duh!
The navies of the world must be permitted to shoot to kill — as was the law of the sea until, apparently, the 21st century — any person or vessel suspected of piracy, period. The only advantage we have is that we outgun them, and we had better use it soon and at every opportunity lest the scum buys a nuke.
— Robert Merrilees, Camarillo
Poisoning our parks
Walking the trails in Arroyo Verde Park, I spotted gopher bait scattered on the ground. In a very short time, all the crows in the area have disappeared. Within a span of two weeks, I had to call animal control to remove two dead raccoons and one opossum from a nearby road. Soon vultures followed. The red-tailed hawk families have been missing from these canyons for three years.
I am hoping that soon most manufacturing, retailing and distribution of these dangerous poisons worldwide will be stopped. We could choose instead to seal our houses, get a cat or set traps.
I hope once again to see the hawks hovering and vultures circling over our landscape.

Tax Day frustrations
Re: your April 13 article, "TEA Parties planned in county to protest taxes":
Ronald Reagan was right: "Republicans believe every day is July 4; Democrats believe every day is April 15." Reading the article regarding the "taxed enough already" parties, I find it interesting that only conservatives oppose the astronomical taxes being forced upon the citizenry. It's not just the taxes, it's the spending. If spending is cut, then taxes will follow.
The article also proclaimed that the tax parties began when a stock trader "railed from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange floor about what he called federal mismanagement of taxpayer dollars." Yep, one crazy guy started a whole national event. How novel.
For me, it started when I saw former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson on TV saying that AIG is "too big to fail" and we need a bailout to "prevent a crisis" and then pledged billions of taxpayer money. Who elected Paulson? Is that taxation with representation?
Then there's Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who said, "American taxpayers don't care" about the "little porky amendments" quietly inserted into the Troubled Asset Relief Program spending bill.
So all of you "progressives" stay home on Tax Day and just be happy that all of 4 cents of every dollar you are sending to Washington, D.C., will actually be used efficiently.
— DeAnna Brown, Camarillo
High school does it again
Congratulations to Ventura High School for being recognized as the "Most Winning School" at the Ventura County Science Fair for the sixth year in a row.
This accomplishment reflects not only the hard work of the students, but the dedication and enthusiasm of VHS teachers Karen Reynosa and Woody Maxwell. A big thank you to these teachers for making science fun and interesting and encouraging students to participate in the science fair.
— Susan Goodkin, Ventura
Cash back a con game
America is being swindled, hornswoggled, suckered. It's the oldest game in the book, right out of the comic strips of the 1920s. Openly, on television, fast-talking commercials for big-ticket merchandise — from cars to TV sets to computers — are pushing sales by offering you cash back.
Don't you realize what that is? They are giving you back your own money that they got from you by overcharging you at the start. Just ask them to let you keep it from the beginning!
Cash back is not somebody else's money — it was always yours.
— Hal Wilder, Camarillo
Oxnard's had enough
Re: Tom Reilly's April 14 letter, "Peaker plant vote correct":
Reilly and the rest of the backers of the peaker plant do not live in Oxnard. We are not environmental ecoterrorists. We have two power plants on our beaches, and we took everyone else's trash at the now-closed dump. We have had enough.
Why not put the peaker plant in Thousand Oaks, right next to the freeway? This way, Reilly could see it every day!

Wear What you Eat: Packaging Design
The old saying "You Are What You Eat" has been taken a step further by Somchana Kangwarnjit of Prompt Design to "You Wear What You Eat" with a new t-shirt line in creative packaging.
The t-shirts and packaging have been designed so that they closely resemble food commonly found on the grocery store.
Although I love the t-shirt and packaging concept, I'm not sure that I'd want to wear a pound of meat around on my shirt. What do you think?

IN RESPONSE: Tri-State groups help companies develop global strategies
This is in response to the Courier & Press report on Saturday, "City ripe for export growth."
According to the 2009 RSM McGladrey Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution Survey results, companies that have defined a global strategy realize significant benefits that enable them to operate profitably despite pressure on sales prices. Companies with global strategies had better revenue growth in foreign markets, lower costsand improved margins.
The Tri-State World Trade Network was established 30 years ago to provide then unmet resources for local companies, large and small, to encourage exporting. More recently, the Tri-State Manufacturers Association (TSMA), arguably the most effective resource to local manufacturing companies, has been formed. Various peer groups operate under this umbrella, providing a forum for peers on various topics including global business.
The Global Business Peer Group provides a forum to develop sound strategies by exchanging solutions to obstacles encountered in growing international sales while enhancing member profitability. Topics have included different business models, i.e., direct export sales, agents, licensing, joint ventures, ownership; freight forwarding; cultural differences by region; government resources for global trade; finding the right partner; care and compensating ex-pats; international IP laws; export financing/tax benefits; and developing talent.
Our peer group is made up of local manufacturers, service providers, and educators ranging from private to public firms who learn from each other. The group meets about 5 times per year from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at member companies.
If you have interest in joining TSMA and the Global Business Peer Group, contact Lydia Johnson, Evansville Chamber of Commerce, 812-425-8147, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Charley Storms is leader of the Global Business Peer Group.

Cricumia defender Fabio Ferreira made an unbelievable goal-line clearance to prevent a Chapecoense goal during a Serie B soccer match in Brazil Wednesday night. Unfortunately, Ferreira was off balance while making the play and when his momentum carried him into the back of the net, the posts came out and the entire goal collapsed on top of him. The match was delayed for half an hour so that the goal could be fixed and play could resume. In the end, Chapecoense won 1-0. H/T 101gg.

Keep your younger passengers safe with the new i-Size compliant baby car seats. Providing longer rearward facing travel for baby, i-Size car seats provide optimal safety whilst in the car.
What Is The i-Size Regulation?
'i-Size' (ECE R129) is the name of a new EU safety legislation that was established in July 2013. Increasing the safety level of child car seats, it most notably states that babies must travel in rearward facing car seats for at least the first 15 months, instead of 9 to 12 months as the previous EU regulation advised.
Introduced in 2013, the i-Size regulation also makes it easy for parents to securely fit their car seat into the almost any vehicle. All i-Size car seats will fit into any i-Size approved car with the maximum Euro NCAP rating.
If you are using a rearward facing car seat under the current legislation ECE R44/04, you can still continue to use it. The new i-Size regulation does not replace existing car seat laws, it simply mean that you have several options available to you when buying a new car seat for your baby or toddler.

For investors looking to enhance their emerging markets (EM) allocations or hedge against the U.S. dollar, the fund provides actively managed access to a broad range of currencies.
The fund invests primarily in currencies of EM countries, and is actively managed to capture the growth potential of their strengthening economies and fiscal reforms. The fund may also serve as a hedge against the U.S. dollar, which is expected to weaken over the long term.
EM local currency instruments have had low historical correlations with other fixed income assets, such as U.S. Treasuries, and may help enhance overall portfolio diversification. While diversification can reduce risk, it does not guarantee a profit or necessarily protect against loss.
PIMCO has a strong market presence in EM bonds, as well as significant expertise in currency hedging and investment. The fund's team draws on our global infrastructure and macroeconomic forecasts to evaluate relative country prospects and position for anticipated changes.
The PIMCO Emerging Markets Currency Fund is managed by Michael Gomez, co-head of PIMCO's EM team and a professional with nearly two decades of investment experience. The team, strategically located around the world, draws on our time-tested investment process, which combines a top-down outlook with rigorous bottom-up credit research. PIMCO has been managing EM portfolios since 1997.
Mr. Gomez is a managing director in the Newport Beach office, a portfolio manager and head of the emerging markets portfolio management team. Prior to joining PIMCO in 2003, he was responsible for market making and proprietary trading of emerging market bonds at Goldman Sachs. Prior to that, he spent a year in Colombia serving as a financial consultant to the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit. In addition, Mr. Gomez has served on numerous other committees providing advisory assistance to emerging market countries or a market practitioner's perspective to index providers. He has 20 years of investment experience and holds an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he also received his undergraduate degree.

I have always loved reading about the Jazz music and Dixie shows at Disneyland I would love it if they could bring it back.
Would You go for the music? Or not at all.

Chennai Express has broken yet another record. The Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone romantic-action-comedy has surpassed Ek Tha Tiger's first week domestic collections with Rs 156.7 crore (gross collection). This is nearly Rs 18 crore more than Salmna Khan's spy-romance collected in one week of its release last year. The movie has raked in healthy box office collections overseas as well at Rs 72 crores in nine days.
Anticipation of the film among audience was that it is not a definite or must watch film since appeal is limited as the genre doesn't goes with youth audience." With the word of mouth being feeble, the film's prospects now look bleak.

Blogger That Mom recently began a series on courtship. I don't know where she will take the subject as she goes on through the series, but I did want to touch on the premise she begins with---that parents need to be involved. The Necessary ParentWhen we attended Bill Gothard's IBLP Basic Seminar back in the mid-80s, one of the topics he covered was dating. This was before he had moved into his courtship teachings and even before anyone we knew of had started discussing things like courtship … [Read more...]
Courtship, Hand-Holding, Parody, and Me
I recently came upon an article titled "The Christian dating site for those saving hand-holding for marriage." When I saw the title, I thought it was real, because saving hand-holding for marriage doesn't actually seem foreign or that far out to me.The article, which is actually parody, centered around this video:The Duggar girls are saving hand-holding for engagement. The Duggar family has already spoken about its dating and courtship standards on the TV show. In a TLC interview a … [Read more...]
Things Women Hear in the Church
I ran across two different articles today, each of which would have probably seemed only more appalling to me if they weren't simply parroting things I heard growing up as a conservative evangelical.The first was called True Love Doesn't Wait, written by a married father of six. The basic premise? Church singles need to stop waiting for true love and just get married already. The author responds to a blog post made popular in the fury of Christian blogging on purity that followed a post on … [Read more...]
Do Joshua Harris's Books Contain "Valuable Advice"?
Several weeks ago I had a twitter exchange with fellow blogger Dianna Anderson:After this exchange, Jessica of Faith Permeating Life, a blogger who defines herself as a Christian feminist, took issue with Dianna and my statements. She responded with a post called "What I Learned from Joshua Harris" in which she argued that Harris' books taught her many valuable things, and stated that she continues to recommend them to Christian couples. In this blog post I'm going to respond to J … [Read more...]

Background and early life[edit]
A native of Buffalo, New York, she studied at a private school in Lenox, Massachusetts, and graduated from New York State Normal School. She spoke French fluently and was conversant in Spanish, German, and Italian.

An accomplished musician, she played the piano, harp, and guitar. While exercising the role of White House hostess she performed at White House functions.

Product description
"At the very time the need for effective leadership is reaching critical proportions, Michael Fullan's Leading in a Culture of Change provides powerful insights for moving forward. We look forward to sharing it with our grantees." --Tom Vander Ark, executive director, Education, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation "Fullan articulates clearly the core values and practices of leadership required at all levels of the organization. Using specific examples, he convinces us that the key change principles are equally critical for leadership in business and education organizations." --John Evans, chairman, Torstar Corporation "In Leading in a Culture of Change, Michael Fullan deftly combines his expertise in school reform with the latest insights in organizational change and leadership. The result is a compelling and insightful exposition on how leaders in any setting can bring about lasting, positive, systemic change in their organizations." --John Alexander, president, Center for Creative Leadership "Michael Fullan's work is remarkable. He masterfully captures how leaders can significantly improve their learning and performance, even in the uncontrollable, chaotic circumstances in which they practice. A tour de force." --Anthony Alvarado, chancellor of instruction, San Diego City Schools "Too often schools and businesses are seen as separate and foreign places. Michael Fullan blends the best of knowledge from each into an exemplary template for improving leadership in both." --Terrence E. Deal, coauthor of Leading with Soul Business, nonprofit, and public sector leaders are facing new and daunting challenges--rapid-paced developments in technology, sudden shifts in the marketplace, and crisis and contention in the public arena. If they are to survive in this chaotic environment, leaders must develop the skills they need to lead effectively no matter how fast the world around them is changing. Leading in a Culture of Change offers new and seasoned leaders' insights into the dynamics of change and presents a unique and imaginative approach for navigating the intricacies of the change process. Michael Fullan--an internationally acclaimed expert in organizational change--shows how leaders in all types of organizations can accomplish their goals and become exceptional leaders. He draws on the most current ideas and theories on the topic of effective leadership, incorporates case examples of large scale transformation, and reveals a remarkable convergence of powerful themes or, as he calls them, the five core competencies. By integrating the five core competencies--attending to a broader moral purpose, keeping on top of the change process, cultivating relationships, sharing knowledge, and setting a vision and context for creating coherence in organizations--leaders will be empowered to deal with complex change. They will be transformed into exceptional leaders who consistently mobilize their compatriots to do important and difficult work under conditions of constant change.
