This January will mark GSP's tenth year in the UFC. At 32, if the level of competition is rising, and his skills at age 32 are diminishing, and the amount of punishment he is taking is accelerating, if he wants to retire rich and at the top, then perhaps now is the time.

To The Editor:
The violence in Boston this week is tragic and senseless, but it should also remind us of the violence we as a country allow to be perpetrated in our name around the world. Two pipe bomb explosions in our country are hailed as "horrific" while we excuse and condone our own military's massacre of innocents on the other side of the world.
We all sat staring at our TV screens as our government rained bombs and terror on the innocent and helpless citizens of Bagdad. We even had the audacity to title this slaughter "Shock & Awe." We say we will hunt down the perpetrators of this most recent violence, but who in our society has been brought to justice for the death and maiming of the children in the war we started to provide the multinational oil companies with the spoils of Iraq?
Our drones blow up homes and civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan where we "believe" there "might" be a threat to our security while we sit comfortably at home and worry about the standings of our sports teams.
We all need to stop being surprised, wringing our hands and ignoring our own culpability for the part we play in the escalation and acceptance of violence as a way of gaining notoriety or achieving anything.

Mount Pleasant resident Brooke Mosteller won Miss South Carolina 2013 on Saturday, July 13.
Mosteller is very excited for her upcoming participation in the Miss America pageant Sept. 10 - 15 in Atlantic City, N.J. "The Miss America Pageant has moved home to Atlantic City and it is our belief that Brooke will be the 1st Miss America crowned in Atlantic City," said Lesa Patton, the local executive director for the Miss Mount Pleasant/Miss Mount Pleasant Scholarship Pageant.
Mosteller's platform is helping high school students apply and go to college, especially students with no one in their family who has ever been to a university.
Mosteller, 23, is a Furman University graduate and was attending the University of South Carolina Law School before her win. She also was a preliminary swimsuit winner.
The runner-up July 13 was Miss Greenville County, Lindley Mayer. Third place was Miss Spartanburg, Clarka Wickliffe, fourth place was Miss Hilton Head Island, Lauren Cabaniss, and fifth place was Miss Greater Greer, Lanie Hudson.

Green Wave boys coach Greg Elliott would like to see his team finish stronger, but Summerville improved to 5-1 with a 77-62 win Friday over Military Magnet.
We played very well 24 of the 32 minutes, Elliott said. We shot 57 percent from the field and defended well. We were up 23 at half and 27 with 2:45 in the third period, but then we got very tired and careless with the ball.
By the five-minute mark of the final period Magnet had cut the lead to 11. Then the Wave surged back to take the score to 70-50 and held on for the win.
Magnet dropped to 4-7 on the season with the loss.
John Jenkins led the Wave shooters, finishing with 24 points. Brandon Wilkerson added 21 points and Christian Kalacanic finished with 14. Also scoring for Summerville were Chris McKinnon (6), Tyler Palmer (5), Isaiah Kinloch (5,) and Xavier Robinson (2).
Summerville opens play in the Shootout by the Sea tournament in North Myrtle Beach Thursday with a game against North Brunswick out of Wilmington, N.C. The team is 6-1. Summerville will also compete in the Rotary Roundball Classic at North Charleston High School Dec. 26-29.
The Summerville girls had little trouble Friday as they downed Military Magnet 74-8 to also improve to 5-1.
The Lady Green Wave jumped out to a 16-2 lead in the opening period and took a 28-3 lead into the half. The Summerville defense only yielded five points in the third and shutout Magnet in the final eight minutes.
Zuri Green led all scorers with 17 points while JaKaylah Ravenell (13), Chelsi Anderson (12) and Ashley Green (11) also reached double-digit scoring. Tinara Brown (9), DAlexis Aldgridge (6), Gabrielle Stewart (4) and Rodnesha Capers (2) also scored for Summerville.
The Lady Green Wave opens play in the Sweet 16 tournament in Orangeburg Thursday. The team will also compete in the Carolina Invitational tournament that will be held at various Charleston-area gyms Dec. 27-29.

Chris, your posts rock. I frequent CB but your posts drag me across all of Mobile Nations. No one writes a financial article like you do, just facts and legitimate thoughts. Well researched and always very credible. Globe and Mail did well to get you on their payroll.
As for Rene Ritchie, a fellow Montrealer like myself I always hope to spot on the metro (if you take it lol). I enjoy your posts as well. They can often be so long I can't even imagine how you kept writing without stopping, but still somehow always full of detail and truly not one word goes to waste despite the length of your post. Truly a great passionate writer.
I just felt like it needed to be said :)

Grey's Anatomy
What Made Grey's Anatomy's Jessica Capshaw Feel "Insensitive and Horrible?"
Grey's Anatomy's Jessica Capshaw (Arizona Robbins) is many things: sweet, gorgeous, funny, a good mother, a great actress and so on. But one way we would never think to describe her is how she recently described herself: "insensitive and horrible."
Let us explain. When someone took to Twitter to say that they're not sad about Hostess closing down, Jessica responded by tweeting, "I completely concur."
But only minutes later, someone else reminded Jessica that the closing means that many people are losing their jobs. The actress then tweeted, "And now I feel insensitive and horrible..."
It's OK, Jessica. We understood what you meant. But we always love to see stars care enough to correct themselves. So really, all this proved is that Jessica is very sensitive and not at all horrible.
Catch the next new episode of Grey's Anatomy on Thursday, November 29 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

"What's the best way to test that an array contains another array?"
A custom matcher using
array - other_array was suggested.
The team that was having problems with Prototype response codes found a partial solution.
They sometimes call
abort() on the request which triggers the callbacks with a 0 response code. They found that if they set
transport.onreadystatechange = function() {}; before calling
abort() they could skip the callbacks, and manually call whatever clean-up they needed. That Prototype interprets 0 as a success still sounds strange.

What kind of concert ticket only costs 45 cents?
50 Cent including Nickelback
Teaching Math in 1950:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
Teaching Math in 1970:
A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money. The cardinality of set "M" is 100. Each element is worth one dollar. Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M". The set "C", the cost of production contains 20 fewer points than set "M". Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" and answer the following question: What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?
Teaching Math in 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
Teaching Math in 1990:
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question? How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees? There are no wrong answers.
Teaching Math in 2000:
By laying off 402 of its loggers, a company improves its stock price from $80 to $100. How much capital gain per share does the CEO make by exercising his stock options at $80. Assume capital gains are no longer taxed, because this encourages investment.
Teaching Math in 2006:
A company outsources all of its loggers. They save on benefits and when demand for their product is down the logging work force can easily be cut back. The average logger employed by the company earned $50,000, had 3 weeks vacation, received a nice retirement plan and medical insurance. The contracted logger charges $50 an hour. Was outsourcing a good move?
Teaching Math in 2007:
A logging company exports its wood-finishing jobs to its Indonesian subsidiary and lays off the corresponding half of its US workers (the higher-paid half). It clear-cuts 95% of the forest, leaving the rest for the spotted owl, and lays off all its remaining US workers. It tells the workers that the spotted owl is responsible for the absence of fellable trees and lobbies Congress for exemption from the Endangered Species Act. Congress instead exempts the company from all federal regulation. What is the return on investment of the lobbying costs?
Q: Why so much confusion around Joe Paterno's death?
Because Penn State never reported it to the proper authorities.

He died didn't he

RETURN TO AFRICA – Part I
The blazing sun streams through the hazy oval of window and stretches across the book open on the small square of table in front of me as we dip down towards earth. The land below me rises upwards, offering me a carpet of geometric, well-defined, sharp-angled patches of cream, almond, caramel and toffee only broken here and there by the occasional vibrant, lush rectangle of jade or lime. A maddening deep, dark squiggle cuts a swath through the landscape like a drizzle of bittersweet chocolate, hinting of the Dark Continent. Mountains push up from the ground in craggy relief like some smart kid's junior high science project giving form to the flatness that stretches out before me.
The plane dips once again, leaning in closer to the horizon as my eyes search for the ocean, the same ocean that kisses the scorching sand that reaches out to form the beach where I grew up somewhere far, far away, the other side of the world. The same ocean that batters the rocks off the Brittany coast where we spend holidays, the same waters that offer us plump crabs and tiny black bigorneaux that we scoop up and eat by the dozens back home in France. But catching sight of that deep blue body of water here seems unreal, as surreal as the backdrop of mountains everywhere I turn, mountains that are always there, unexpectedly, behind houses, beaches, vineyards, everywhere as if painted against the sky in some monstrous photographic studio and we are meant to turn around and smile at the camera. The image is jarring and makes my entire week seem an illusion, everyone acting a well-scripted part on some stage, the curtains parting as each change of scenery is wheeled into place, the lights raised or lowered, the wind machine snapped on or off, but all the while that wall of painted mountains looms over us.
I clutch anxiously at my good luck pendant hanging loosely on a thin silver chain around my neck and whisper my little prayer. This is all I have to hang on to, what gets me through these long hours above the ground, I who am terrified to fly yet so desperately want to travel. And here I am, back in Africa. I don't often think of my other trip to this continent all those years ago, before I married, when I brazenly fled to Nigeria to be with someone I thought maybe I loved. I knew as soon as I landed that I loved another but spent enough time in that curious place, exploring that darkly dangerous country to feel a wide-eyed awe and mysterious fascination with all that is unknown, exotic, treacherous. But this new experience, this return to Africa, well, I knew that I would be in careful, safe, loving hands. And from all that I had heard, this Africa was rich in culture and fine food, gorgeous summer weather, sandy beaches and extremely happy friends.
Colleen and Donald, my wonderful, generous hosts, met this exhausted, bedraggled, woozy excuse for a food blogger at the airport, tucked me into the front seat (Wrong side, Donald!) and zipped off into a brilliantly sunny Cape Town summer day. Palm trees flew by me, beautiful palm trees waving gently in the breeze reminding me of Florida yet not, the car only slowing down as we approached their part of the city when suddenly a gorgeous vista opened up on my left: False Bay, a tiny cove-like beach and port upon whose rocks the Indian Ocean waves were crashing furiously. The Indian Ocean! Who would have ever thought that I would actually see the Indian Ocean with my very own eyes? Table Mountain loomed above on my right, growing ever closer as we pulled into their driveway, standing majestically, protectively behind their warm, friendly home.
and the two most generous people I have ever met. Thank you both!
The two days leading up to the Indaba, the South African Food & Wine Bloggers' Conference, was filled with activity as I tried to catch my breath. I spent one day with Colleen and family furiously filling goodie bags, organizing stacks of cookbooks and magazines, arranging boxes of wine that kept arriving at the door, oooohing and ahhhing over all the amazing goodies that filled her house from wall to wall, floor to ceiling, threatening to take over the Grove home completely, mercilessly. Colleen sat morning, noon and night at her computer, cell phone pressed to one ear, sucking on a never-ending bottle of water, her only sustenance, and trying to keep her nerves under control while tying up last-minute details. Her wonderful husband, ever cheerful even under pressure and the most trying of times, organized, ran errands, drove all over Cape Town in search of the last boxes of goodies and gifts, and proved himself totally indispensable, as passionate about this event as any dedicated food or wine blogger. And through it all, there were always perfectly mixed mugs of café au lait magically appearing for me on the kitchen counter.
Saturday I spent with Jeanne, Nick and family and friends out on Franschhoek in the Winelands, lunching at a lovely restaurant overlooking vineyards with the ever-present backdrop of mountains. The evening was spent at Nick's mom's home where he put together a wonderful braai for us and a couple of friends. We talked late into the night, the music from some distant concert enveloping us in the darkness, our own laughter filling in the spaces in between.
The February 2011 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Mallory from A Sofa in the Kitchen. She chose to challenge everyone to make Panna Cotta from a Giada De Laurentiis recipe and Nestlé Florentine Cookies. I, of course, long a panna cotta lover, chose to make a wonderful Café au Lait version of this luscious, creamy dessert with the addition of a fabulous Bittersweet Mocha Sauce drizzled over the Panna Cotta which created the perfect dark edge to the lovely, light coffee flavor of the panna cotta. As the Florentine Cookie recipe called for corn syrup which I have never been able to find in France I decided to add a crunchy side to the Panna Cotta with very Italian Chocolate Chip Cappuccino Biscotti. Here is to a wonderful week in Cape Town drinking perfect Café au Lait as well as many cups of bittersweet coffee swallowed one after the other on the plane down and back up as well as several to kick start my old routine once I returned to Terra Firma and home.
I was honored to be interviewed by the very cool people at Chudleigh's, the apple farm and bakery outside of Toronto. Hop over to their Chudleigh's Blossom Blog to read my interview!

COFFEE PANNA COTTA with Bittersweet Mocha Sauce
1 cup (250 ml) whole milk
1 tablespoon (8 g) unflavored powdered gelatin
3 cups (750 ml) whipping cream (whole fat heavy cream)
1/3 cup (80 ml) honey
1 tablespoon (15 gm) granulated sugar
pinch of salt
2 tsps instant espresso powder or more to taste
Prepare 6 to 8 ramekins or individual bowls or demitasse cups. If you want to be able to turn the Panna Cotta out of the bowl or ramekin, run the bowl under cold running water, pour and shake the water out but do not dry.
Pour the milk into a medium-sized saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over the milk. Whisk quickly and lightly just so it is all wet and then allow to sit for 5 minutes. This softens the gelatin. Place the saucepan over medium heat and, whisking gently, allow the milk to heat until it is hot but not boiling, 5 more minutes. The yellow shiny splotches of gelatin floating on the surface will disappear when the gelatin is completely melted/dissolved.
Add the cream, honey, sugar, pinch of salt and 2 teaspoons instant espresso powder to the hot milk and continue to heat, stirring, until the honey, sugar and espresso have dissolved. Taste and add more espresso powder if you desire a stronger coffee flavor.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow to cool for several minutes. Whisk to combine well before pouring into the glasses, bowls, cups or ramekins. I always find it much easier to pour the liquid into a glass or Pyrex measuring cup with a spout and pour from that instead of directly from the saucepan.
Cover each bowl or ramekin with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or, ideally, overnight.
A half hour or so before serving, prepare the Bittersweet Mocha Sauce. Once the Sauce has been made and chilled, serve the Panna Cotta, each drizzled with the Sauce and a Cappuccino Biscotto or two.
2 ounces (60 g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, or more to taste
¾ cup (200 ml) heavy whipping cream
2 tsps instant espresso powder
1 Tbs to ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar to taste
Coarsely chop the chocolate and place it in a small saucepan with the heavy cream, the espresso powder and 1 tablespoon sugar. Heat very gently over medium-low heat, whisking or stirring, until the chocolate, sugar and espresso have all melted and dissolved. Taste, adding sugar until desired sweetness. Remove from the heat, allow to cool for a few minutes, stir again and pour into a glass measuring cup, bowl or jar and refrigerate until just cool enough to serve over the chilled Panna Cotta.
Makes 25 to 30 biscotti
2 cups (280 g) flour
¾ cup (150 g) granulated white sugar
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Rounded ½ tsp ground cinnamon, optional
1 rounded tsp instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder
Rounded ½ cup (3 ½ oz, 100 g) mini chocolate chips or coarsely chopped chocolate
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Cinnamon-sugar for dusting, optional
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and place the rack in the center of the oven. Line a baking/cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, blend the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and coffee powder/granules and whisk together or beat with an electric mixer on low for 20 or 30 seconds to combine well. Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks.
Whisk the eggs until blended and whisk in the vanilla. Pour this over the dry ingredients and, using a fork or wooden spoon, stir until all of the dry ingredients are moistened and begin to pull together and form a dough. Scrape out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead very briefly until you have a smooth, well-blended dough. Do not add in too much flour, just enough that this sticky dough can be handled.
Divide the dough in half. With floured hands on the lightly floured work surface, form each ball of dough into a log about 10 inches (25 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide. Carefully transfer the logs onto the prepared baking sheet spacing them about 3 inches (7.5 cm) apart to allow for spreading.
I sprinkle the surface with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon which gives the final, crispy outside of the biscotti a sweet, cinnamony touch.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until firm to the touch. They should have puffed up and spread out a bit. Remove from the oven – do not turn the oven off – and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Transfer the logs, one at a time, to a wooden cutting board. With a good, serrated knife, cut each log crosswise on the diagonal into ¾ inch (2 cm)-wide slices. Cut slowly and carefully to avoid the biscotti breaking or crumbling.
Arrange the slices on the lined baking sheet cut sides up (you can place them close together as they will no longer spread) and bake for 10 minutes. Open the oven and flip all of the slices over, slide back into the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
These can easily be stored for days and days in an airtight, preferably metal cookie tin.

Do Minimum Wage Laws Help Either the Poor or the Overall Economy?
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Mar 02, 2013 Category: ArticlesNo, on both counts. Our labor is a service. Its value is determined neither by law nor by wish but by the market. All of us, I suspect, would love to be paid $1,000 an hour. Given that all of us would want this, why don't we pass a law stating no one could be paid less than $1,000 an hour? Were we to do so, I suspect that some athletes, some rock stars and perhaps a few actors would still be employed. The rest of us, however, would be out of work. There is no employer out there willing to pay me that much. (If you disagree, by all means, let me know who they are.) Keep Reading

[words of John Bugay will be in blue; of "Viisaus" in red]
On top of that, the papacy as a concept is fundamentally at odds with Christ, putting itself in the place of Christ on earth. This in itself is a wickedness. And further, it says that Christ himself perpetrated this. This is on top of Rome's having anathematized the Gospel at Trent. Roman Catholicism has officially cut itself off from true Christianity. This is not to say that there are no Roman Catholics who are Christians. But officially, the religion has gone off the rails. If you are not convinced that there is a fundamental difference between Roman Catholicism and every other orthodox Christianity, the I'd recommend that you go spend some time visiting with the folks from Called to Communion. I'm sure you will perceive the difference. (10-26-10)
I noted recently how Bugay jumps on every liberal historian bandwagon in the service of bashing Catholicism, in my paper, Liberal Catholic Historians: Anti-Catholic John Bugay Loves Them for His Polemical Purposes.
Now Bugay has gone to the other extreme, in his latest post, entitled, The Pantheism of Roman Catholicism. He is drawing from some fool combox contributor who goes by "Viisaus" (safely anonymous, with no profile information available, as usual). In one of his combox rants, he cites a page from the wacko ultra-traditionalist website, Tradition in Action (run by Atila Sinke Guimarães, who is a sedevacantist: i.e., a person who believes there is no valid pope at the present time), in confirmation of his views. Bugay then sops that up and features it in his new post. He doesn't care -- couldn't care less -- where any information comes from, as long as it bashes the Catholic Church. So he writes in the new post:
C.S. Lewis noted some time ago that in the end, only Christianity stood against pantheism. Well, our friend Viisaus posted a whole bunch of items yesterday in the comments that illustrated the influence that pantheism has in the Roman church:In another post, "Viisaus" cites another sedevacantist, Thomas A. Droleskey, from the radtrad theologically brain-dead site, Christ or Chaos. That's fine! Anything goes! Why should anyone care about citing a sane, rational person in support of one's views?!
Bugay in his post approvingly quotes Viisaus:
. . . one of the things I have noticed in my reading of Ratzinger is that he is functionally a pantheist. This is the unity that he desires. That is, we all get "fused" into God -- I believe that is the term he used in Called to Communion. . . . the RCC would eventually respond to the modernist challenge: by pantheistic pandering. Taylor noticed how the Newmanian doctrine of development had an inherently "evolutionist" flavor, and could even foresee the rise of pantheist Jesuits like Teilhard de Chardin: . . . One really does not even need to dig very deep to see the brazen pantheistic-evolutionist attitudes of the modern Vatican.Bugay compliments his profound "source":
I'd like to say, Viisaus, thanks for what you add here.
All in a day's work over at Boors All! "My enemy's enemy is my friend"! It doesn't matter how ridiculous a source is: it'll be used (and praised by sophists like Bugay) if it is for "The Supreme Cause" (lying about and opposing the Catholic Church). The pope is a pantheist; the Catholic Church teaches pantheism. Right. Who could doubt it, with Bugay and sedevacantist nuts (brought to us by an anonymous blowhard) telling us it is so!?

First U.S team to top Everest reunitesBy LISA LEFF
The Associated Press | February 24,2013Provided Photo
This 1963 photo released by the American Alpine Club Library shows the American Mount Everest Expedition team and their sherpas on the worlds highest mountain. They reached the roof of the world May 1, 1963, a decade after Sir Edmund Hillary.BERKELEY, Calif. It might be hard to conceive now, in an era of extreme sports and ultra-light equipment, but there was a time when Americans who set out to conquer mountains engaged in a pursuit that was as lonely as it was dangerous.
But four men Norm Dyhrenfurth, now 94; Jim Whittaker, 84; Tom Hornbein, 82, and Dave Dingman, 76 remember. The leather boots that stayed wet for weeks. Oxygen canisters that weighed 15 pounds. The shrugs of indifference most of their countrymen gave a half-century ago to what it would take to get a U.S.-led mountaineering expedition to the top of Mount Everest.
Americans, when I first raised it, they said, Well, Everest, its been done. Why do it again? Dyhrenfurth recalled as he and three other surviving members of the 1963 expedition gathered in the San Francisco Bay area for a meeting honoring the 50th anniversary of their achievement.
The American Alpine Club is hosting lectures, film screenings, book-signings and a dinner this weekend recognizing the pioneering climbers and what their feat, captured in a Life magazine cover story, came to represent in the years after President John F. Kennedy honored the Everest team with a Rose Garden reception: the birth of mountaineering as a popular sport in the U.S.
When they were talking about a reunion three years ago, I thought, who the hell cares about that? I figured wed just get together for some beers, Dingman said between interviews with National Geographic, Outside magazine and the Alpine Clubs oral history project. Its turned into this big event, and Im glad it has.
Whittaker, who lives in Seattle and went on to become chief executive of outdoors outfitter Recreational Equipment Inc., was the first American to summit Everest. He and his Sherpa companion, Nawang Gombu, reached the top of the world on May 1, 1963, a decade after New Zealands Edmund Hillary and about six weeks after another climber on the U.S. expedition, Jake Breitenbach, died in an avalanche.
Memories of how close he came to his own death on Everest he and Gombu ran out of oxygen on the summit and had to climb up and back without water after their bottles froze infused every day of his life since with gratitude and child-like wonder, he said.
I think I will probably take it with me into my next life, if I have one, Whittaker said.
Three weeks after Whittakers ascent, two other Americans, Hornbein and the late Willi Unsoeld, became the first men ever to scale Everest via a more dangerous route on the mountains west side. The next day, they descended by the southern route that Hillary, Whittaker and by then, two more members of the American team, had taken to the summit.
The adventure, which included spending the night without sleeping bags or tents at 28,000 feet, made them the first men ever to traverse the worlds highest peak and cost Unsoeld nine frost-bitten toes.
Dingman has been lauded over the years for sacrificing his own chance to scale Everest to belay Hornbein, Unsoeld and two other climbers, Barry Bishop and Lute Jerstad, who had gotten stuck out in the open with them, back down to base camp.
Dingman never made it back to Everest. As a doctor in training, a Vietnam War draftee and then a physician with a young family, he never could find the time to make the trip. He said he had no regrets then and has none now.
It would have made no difference to get two more people on to the summit, but if we had lost two or three people on the way down that would have been a very different story, he said.MORE IN This Just InAssociated Press Full StoryIt seems like I just started to warm up from last winter and I see back-to-school displays.

Wind: 0 mph
On December 6, 2011, my daughter McKayla got ready for the Harwood Winter Concert. She was nervous with anticipation and was excited to go and sing with her friends. McKayla was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome at the age of 2, a rare genetic disorder that effects 1 in 20,000 births. Children with Williams Syndrome have a natural affinity towards music.
Happy with the thought of performing in front of a crowd, McKayla did not seem to mind when she was told to take a seat with the other kids with disabilities in the auditorium. McKayla in fact did not notice that all of her other high school peers who were in the chorus with her were not sitting in the empty seats behind her.
As she sat there chatting with her friends, most of the Harwood chorus group was backstage warming up and practicing for that night's performance. After awhile the reserved seats behind my daughter began to fill with the other teenagers awaiting their turn on the stage.
After a stunning performance given by Chris Rivers and the Harwood Band, the children in the advanced choir group got up and proceeded on stage. The "I Cantori" group, as they were called, mesmerized the audience with angelic vocals that demonstrated not only these kids' talents and natural abilities but their many hours of commitment to the songs that they performed.
Special mention was given to two students as they were invited to Carnegie Hall in New York to demonstrate their musical skill. A fundraiser was just outside the doors of the lobby and people were encouraged to contribute to their trip. After a standing ovation, the students left the stage. Up next was the Harwood High School Choir.
I first discovered something was amiss when all of the students (except those in this picture) left the auditorium. In a few moments I saw the students entering backstage, each receiving a "high five" as they passed by Diane Phillips on their way to their place on the stage. Within a brief moment the students were settled and a new set of music began.
All along, my daughter and her friends who practiced and worked so hard throughout the fall sat there in the front row waiting with anticipation to be called up to join their peers on stage. When the music began, I could not hear it because of the intense pain that I felt in my heart, as again my child was not accepted in our society of normalcy. If only she had not been born with a disability she would be accepted and would share the music of this night instead of the silence of discrimination.
After the first song, the music paused and all eyes focused on Diane Phillips as she walked down the steps to take my daughter's hand and lead her onstage. An awkward moment was had as McKayla was moved onto the stage. McKayla beamed with pride, she sneezed startling the student in front of her bringing lightness to the tension in the air. Over the next several songs I was nervous that McKayla might mess things up, have an off pitch, or wave to a friend in the audience. She performed beautifully! After a few more songs the music was stopped again.
Diane Phillips walked down the steps to the other girls with disabilities and assisted them up to join their peers. This time, however, she did not place the other six girls in amongst the other students. She arranged them on the sides in a way that stood out. Again there was a long awkward silence as things were arranged for the new performers. The music began again for the last two songs of the set, and I finally heard for the first time that night a balance and harmony that made the songs feel right. For McKayla and our family, it was our night at Carnegie Hall.
The tragedy of this story, besides the fact that it is true, is that my wife found out on December 2 that Diane Phillips had planned to have our daughter sing only two songs. We went to the right people within the school and voiced our concern and we were told that "Michael Woods spoke with the chorus teacher after school. The teacher agreed that all of the students will be included in all six songs. I am pleased that the problem has been resolved. Thank you for making me aware of the problem."
The problem still remains. I am not sure as to how this story will end. That will be a journey in itself. My hope is that these students will gain the respect, equality and inclusion that they rightfully deserve so that they can be heard.

involved in this momentous event.
Professor Van Hulle is an expert in
international accounting. He has been
a member since 1984 of the Commission of the European Communities, where he works today in the directorate-general
with special responsibilities for the harmonization of accounting standards within the European Communities. He is also
a member of the Executive Committee of the European Accounting Association. Professor Van Hulle has served as guest
lecturer at many universities in Europe and the U.S., and he has written several books and articles concerning

students from CMC, HMC, and Scripps, will be
performing at tea on Wednesday, April 11, at
3:00 p.m.
Join your friends in the Athenaeum courtyard
for a pleasant interlude, with good music and
Jackie's famous homemade goodies.
Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are pleased to
sponsor a panel discussion on the topic "Philosophy in
Claremont: Past, Present, and Future." A number of
Claremont's best-known philosophers from a wide
variety of backgrounds will be discussing the role
Claremont has played, is playing, and will play in the
development and evolution of philosophical ideas.
The panel includes Claremont McKenna professors
Steve Davis, who received his doctorate from the
Claremont Graduate School, and Myra Moss, who
received her B.A. from Pomona College. Pomona
College professors Frederick Sontag, who has been
teaching at Pomona since 1952, and Paul Hurley, who is a relatively new member of the Claremont community, will also be participating. From Scripps College we
welcome Prof. Dion Scott-Kakures, who graduated
from CMC in 1979. Finally Kimberly McDonald, a
senior at CMC who will be attending graduate school
next year, will present her ideas regarding philosophy
in Claremont.
The reception at 5:30 will be followed by a 6:00 dinner.
The evening's discussion begins at 6:45. Each participant will make a five- to eight-minute presentation. The presentations will be followed by comments and
questions from the audience.
This promises to be an interesting and exciting
evening, so be sure to return the enclosed reservation
form to the Athenaeum as soon as possible.
present the 1990 commencement speaker, William
F. Buckley, Jr., at a special senior class discussion and
dinner. Following the dinner, Mr. Buckley will address
the college community on "Current Controversies." Mr.
Buckley's appearance prior to graduation is made
possible by the generosity of a parent of a CMC senior.
A Yale graduate, Mr. Buckley founded the conservative journal National Review in 1955, and now serves as
its editor-in-chief. The syndicated column, "On the
Right," has earned Mr. Buckley the Best Columnist of
the Year and Distinguished Achievement in Journalism
awards. Mr. Buckley has perhaps gained the most
notoriety as the host of his Emmy Award-winning
television show, "Firing Line," where he has hosted
virtually every world leader during the past 20 years.
Mr. Buckley has also gained recognition for his role as
supporter of such presidential candidates as Sen. Barry
Goldwater, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan. In 1960
Mr. Buckley helped to establish Young Americans for
The author of numerous political texts, such as Up
from Liberalism (1959), Four Reforms: A Guide for the Seventies (1973),
and The Jeweler's Eye: A Book of Irresistable Political
Reflections (1968), Mr. Buckley has also penned several novels.
Airborne: A Sentimental Journey (1976) is Mr. Buckley's critically
acclaimed account of his crossing the Atlantic in his
sailboat in 1975.
Charles Lam Markmann once described Mr. Buckley
as "brash..., tricky, skillfully savage, capable of great
tenderness, a lover of language and music and color and
form and mountains and the sea, a scintillating performer with that precise blend of the aristocratic and the
faintly vulgar that virtually no one can resist."
Please join us at McKenna Auditorium at 7:00 for a
lecture that will certainly prove interesting.
Seniors are invited to an informal discussion with Mr.
Buckley which begins at 4:45 in the Security Pacific
Dining Room; this will be followed by a 6:00 dinner.
Sign-ups by CMC seniors are required for the meal;
please use the enclosed coupon.
CMC, and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are
pleased to sponsor Gail Butler, who witnessed the
events that occurred during spring 1989 in Beijing,
China. Taking time off as president of Houston Foods,
Ms. Butler, on a scholarship from the Chinese government, studied at Beijing University. During her trip from April 7 through June 8, 1989, she observed how

demonstrations in detail, made numerous trips to
Tiananmen, and spoke with many people. Through her

present Carol L. Otis, M.D., and Roger Goldingay,

Handbook for Healthy Living (1989). This new book offers
non-judgmental and clearly presented information
about a range of health issues that affect young adults,
including: nutrition, exercise, common medical problems, dental health, emergencies, sexual health, alcohol
and other drugs, and environmental health hazards.
The authors' goal is to give students both the information and motivation they need to develop and maintain good health habits. It is only when students know the
risk factors they face, say the authors, that they can
make choices and changes in their lifestyles early
enough to minimize problems and ensure a healthy

open the Henry R. Kravis Leadership Conference
with a speech by one of California's leading female
politicians, Dianne Feinstein. Her speech, "California
in the 1990s," addresses the complex issues facing the
state as we enter the coming decade.
Currently a candidate for governor, Ms. Feinstein
served as the mayor of San Francisco for ten years, from
1978 to 1988. Swept into office after the death of Mayor
George Moscone, Feinstein was re-elected twice.
During those years Feinstein launched new programs to
retain and attract businesses, rejuvenated the Port of
San Francisco, and implemented strict controls on
commercial development. During her tenure Feinstein
confronted the growing AIDS crisis, the homeless, toxic
clean-up, affordable housing, and crime. By adding 350
officers to the city's police force, response time was
reduced from eight minutes to about two minutes, and
serious crime fell by 21 percent in San Francisco.
In her campaign for governor, Feinstein has focused
on education, drug abuse, and ethics reform. As the
first woman to seriously seek the Democratic nomination for governor, she has stressed her pro-choice stand
and her support for the death penalty.
Feinstein graduated from Stanford University.
There will be a reception at 5:30 followed by dinner at
6:00 (this part of the program is open to CMC only), and
the public speech is at 7:00 in Bridges Auditorium. If
you would like to attend dinner, please return the

Europe and Latin America, we ought to remember
that even the most just and well-intentioned political
movements can take sudden and irrational-and sometimes very violent-swings.
In the second installment of its lecture series on the
bicentennial of the French Revolution, the Henry
Salvatori Center, in cooperation with the Marian Miner
Cook Athenaeum, turns to consider this darker side of
the greatest of all European revolutions.
On Thursday, April 26, Keith Baker, professor of
history at Stanford University and one of the country's
foremost scholars of 18th century French intellectual
and political life, discusses the significance of the
Revolution's descent into totalitarianism and terror. A
PhD from University College, London, Professor Baker
taught for many years at the University of Chicago
before recently moving to Stanford. He is the author of,
among other important works, Condorcet: From Natural
Philosophy to Social Mathematics (1975) and The Political Culture
of the Old Regime (1987).
Professor Baker's lecture begins at 7:00, following a
reception at 5:30 and dinner at 6:00. Please use the

1989-90 college year. Thanks to many of you, it has
been a very exciting year at the Marian Miner Cook
During the first semester we hosted the highly
successful "The Myths and Realities of the Vietnam
War" series. The eight speakers-Le Ly Hayslip, Stanley Karnow, Frances FitzGerald, Seymour Hersh, Tim O'Brien, Ted Post, Ron Kovic, Neil Sheehan, and
Robert Scalapino-gave us a vivid picture of this conflict
that has affected so many for so long.
Throughout the year we heard from ten speakers who
addressed "The Soviet Union Today and Tomorrow: A
Time for New Thinking." When this series began in
September, few would have predicted what we are
witnessing in April. Our guests in this series were: John
K. Roth, Lily Golden, Rushworth Kidder, Arthur Macy
Cox, James Joseph, Malcolm Toon, Robert O'Neill,
Frederick Starr, David Shipler, and James Billington.
Ellen Gilchrist, Ray Bradbury, Carlos Fuentes, Riane
Eisler, Jack Miles, and Czeslaw Milosz discussed the
author's role in society today.
We studied the future of Communism in Europe and
Asia. We viewed the slides of a Himalayan climber, the
first woman to reach the South Pole overland, and the
first woman to reach the North Pole overland. James
Farmer was our Martin Luther King birthday speaker.
Eleanor Smeal and Rachel MacNair discussed the
abortion issue. Franklin Chang-Diaz vividly told us
about his voyage aboard the space shuttle Atlantis. Jean
Kilbourne explored advertising's image of women. We
have learned about the French Revolution 200 years
ago. Susan Estrich told us about the Dukakis campaign.
Jack Weatherford discussed the influences of the American Indians. We have hosted conferences on China and on diversity. Suzanne Landolphi discussed AIDS and
sex, and what a discussion it was! Yoishi Funabashi
spoke on the U.S.-Japan economic entanglement.
Dianne Feinstein will be the keynote speaker for the
Henry R. Kravis Leadership Conference. William F.
Buckley, Jr., our graduation speaker, is coming to the
Athenaeum this month for a dinner with seniors and a
speech open to all.
The Madrigal dinners, the Evenings in Vienna, the
Celebration of the Arts, and the musical teas have
brought special meals and music to our lives. The
dinner theater, featuring the all-CMC production of You
Can't Take It with You, showed us another side of our
talented students, as did the wonderfully successful
student art show.
This year has indeed been an enlightening one-
students, faculty, and the institutes have brought
exciting speakers. Our four student fellows-Ann Ela,
Robert Goff, Kimberly Lutz, and Michael Shear-have
been very busy writing about and introducing more
than 60 guests. Our daily teas have brought many of
you over for Rice Krispie treats. Numerous classes have
hosted their own guests in our smaller dining room.
Each of you reading this Fortnightly can be involved in
1990-91. The ideas for guests can be your ideas, and will
help make the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum a special
part of Claremont McKenna College.

Just a heads up, this shade stains incredibly easily. I would absolutely recommend using a base underneath it to minimize it. I had major staining on my arm (and it wasn't on for longer than five minutes there) and my eye when I wore it in the crease. Tom Ford Emerald Lust is greener, lighter. MAC Jealousy Wakes is greener, less teal. MAC Double Feature 4 is darker. Urban Decay Minx is lighter.

Any Homebrewers?
Not homebrewed drum gear - BEER!
A few years ago, I used to keep two 5 gallon (19 liter) batches going at a time, but have fallen away since then. Work, home projects, grand-kids, etc., seem to get in the way.
I started out with extract brews and later graduated to partial grain brews, as I don't have enough volume to boil 5 gallons of wort. Most of my brews were about half grain and half extract, and I've kept that up. I've never dumped a batch, but came close once. The beer was astringent from too much chocolate malt. I drank most of that brew to 'get rid of it', and only stored a couple of bottles. After 9 months or so, I revisited the last two bottles which were surprisingly good! I've never repeated that brew as I can't keep 5 whole gallons stored for that long. ;-)
Brewed a nice kolsch last winter but have been too busy to keep at it. Our local homebrew store closed a while back, so brewing had become spotty. Now we've got a new homebrew store in town, so I picked up some necessities and am poised to brew an extra special bitter (ESB). Just need to find - no, MAKE - the time. Maybe this weekend...
Wish me luck!
Re: Any Homebrewers?
I used the kits for the most part.I got this huge stock pot from a restaurant suppy house for around 15 bucks.The only trouble was getting enough heat under it,so I also had to get a large propane burner,and boil the wort outdoors.
I tend to favor amber lagers,porters and black and tans and darker ales the most.
I had to move a few years ago to smaller quarters so I don't have the room to brew 5 gallon batches.
I'm looking into smaller recipies and using all my own malt,yeast and hopps and filtered NY state water,which is to my palate,the best tasting water there is.
I'll post if and when I finish a batch.
Steve B
Re: Any Homebrewers?
Good luck. My last two were a late-season pumpkin ale (good) and an even-later season chocolate stout (not good, but got better at how to handle the chocolate). My friend does all-grain and just upgraded to a 10 gallon rig, so I'm going to just drink what he makes, I think.
Re: Any Homebrewers?
I made 5 gallons of mulberry wine like 3 summers ago. There was a mulberry tree in my yard and i harvested probably 25-30 gallon freezer bags of them. I found a recipe online and followed it to the letter. The finished product was extremely bitter (which shocked me because mulberries are really sweet), and the alcohol content was rather low, about on par with beer. Needless to say I didn't make anymore wine and just ended up eating the berries. It was a fun experiment though.
Re: Any Homebrewers?
I've got a crab apple tree in my yard that goes absolutely bonkers every other year. Figured I'd make some crab apple jelly. Must have done something wrong, because it didn't gel. So what do you do with 16 pints of crab apple syrup? Make crab apple wine!! Wasn't too bad, either.
Re: Any Homebrewers?
I've only used the well water from my south-central Michigan home. It's 240 feet deep, with hardly any iron and relatively low dissolved solids. No matter how many different styles I brew, how many different yeasts I use and no matter how I conduct the boil, there's always a common flavor to the finished beer - I can only guess it's the water. I've threatened to use the well water from my 'retirement home' up north, but trucking 7 gallons of water never makes it to the "radar" when packing up to go back south. Guess I'll have to brew a batch up north, too!
Did you ever use distilled water in your wort? I'm thinking you might have to add salts or some such. I've never tried it, as the water I have "works" - I'm just curious to see if my suspicions are correct.

Average Customer Review4.5 (13 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:solid wood and metal consruction
Things I would have changed:this was my first pump action air gun and they are just too much hassle too noisy when pumping poor sights
What others should know:too much effort, when you can get a pneumatic that will do the same job for much less effort i just don't see the point of this gun
Things I liked:This pistol does have a nice feel about it. Also there is the nastalgia factor. However, the honeymoon will be over quickly.
Things I would have changed:My gun shot consistantly to the left. The rear sight cannot be moved enough to help. The trigger is creepy and rough. The paint flaked off in my hands almost immediatly. The pin that holds the pump handle missed the other side when driven through and flared out the metal. The overall fit and finish is poor,nothing like an original Benjamin. For the money spent I was not happy. I told Crosman if they are not going to do this model right they shouldn't do it at all.
What others should know:I returned the gun to Pyramid and the were very professional and understanding. They gave a full refund. I purchased a Crosman 2300T. I am very pleased this this gun and will review it soon. For the money spent the 2300 is a much better buy!
Things I liked:Classic design, no plastic, all metal and wood. Accurate. Nice fun classic gun.
Things I would have changed:The slot on the rear sight is rather wide in reference to the front sight width. I dealt with this by fitting the 272 intermount, medium rings and the BSA 2x20 scope. Much more fun with an accurate sight on this accurate gun.

A Summerville-area team will get its first win of the season Friday.
Ashley Ridge and Cane Bay high schools both enter a 7:30 p.m. game in The Swamp with an 0-4 record so someone will get to celebrate.
The schools both opened the same year and have played each other every year since. Add to that their proximity and you have yourself a rivalry.
The Cobras rallied last year to earn a 36-28 victory but Ashley Ridge holds a 4-3 advantage in the series. Ashley Ridge blew out Cane Bay in 2011, but all the other games were decided by one or two scores.
Cane Bay has been outscored 118-48 this season and has losses to Summerville, Fort Dorchester, Berkeley and Beaufort. Ashley Ridge has been outscored 163-91 while falling to Goose Creek, Wando, West Ashley and Stratford.
Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker says this year's game with the Cobras will come down to basics.
"Whoever makes the least amount of mistakes, both penalties and turnovers, will win the game," Walker said. "Their defense swarms to the football and their offense has three players that we will have to contain."
Cobra running back Ramonte Frasier is under rated and can cut through any defense if given a slight opening. Quarterback Devin Kilgore is a dual threat and, like Frasier, became a starter early in his Cane Bay career.
The Cobra defense played well in its season opener against Summerville. However, the Ashley Ridge offense is showing signs of improvement.
Tyler Garland is developing as a running back and last week the Swamp Foxes had approximately 150 yards and a TD through the air. Donovan Thompson and Sean White lead a group of promising receivers and QB Chandler Avenel now has four games under his belt.
Special teams have been a plus for Ashley Ridge all season. Even against Goose Creek, the Swamp Foxes broke big plays with their special teams.
Last week, Thompson finished with 297 all-purpose yards after returning a punt 90 yards for a TD and a kickoff 98 yards for a TD.
The night marked the first time in Ashley Ridge history that a Swamp Fox player has returned a punt for a score. Including Thompson's, there have only been two kickoff returns to go for a TD in school history.
