L: So you're saying that money is a positive moral good in society because the pursuit of it motivates the creation of value. It's the bridge between selfishness and social good, and it's the basis for voluntary cooperation, rather than coerced interaction. Anything else?
Doug: Yes, but first, let me say one more thing about the issue of selfishness — the virtue of selfishness — and the vice of altruism. Ayn Rand might never forgive me for saying this, but if you take the two concepts — ethical self-interest and concern for others — to their logical conclusions, they are actually the same.
It's in your selfish best interest to provide the maximum amount of value to the maximum number of people — that's how Apple became the giant company it is. Conversely, it is not altruistic to help other people. I want all the people around me to be strong and successful. It makes life better and easier for me if they're all doing well. So it's selfish, not altruistic, when I help them.
To weaken others, to degrade them by making them dependent upon generosity, is not doing those people any good. If you really care about others, the best thing you can do for them is to push for totally freeing all markets. That makes it both necessary and rewarding for them to learn valuable skills and to become creators of value and not burdens on society. It's a win-win all around.
L: That'll bend some people's minds… So, what was the other thing?
Doug: Well the accumulation of wealth is in and of itself an important social, as well as personal, good. The good to individuals of accumulating wealth is obvious, but the social good often goes unrecognized. Put simply, progress requires capital. Major new undertakings, from hydropower dams to spaceships, to new medical devices and treatments, require huge amounts of capital. If you're not willing to extract that capital from the population via the coercion of taxes, i.e., steal it, you need wealth to accumulate in private hands to pay for these things. In other words, if the world is going to improve, we need huge pools of capital, intelligently invested. We need as many "obscenely" rich people as possible.
L: Right then… so, money is all good — nothing bad about it at all?
Doug: Unfortunately, many of the rich people in the world today didn't get their money by real production. They got it by using political connections and slopping at the trough of the state. That's bad. When I look at how some people have gotten their money — Clinton, Pelosi, and all the politically connected bankers and brokers, just for a start — I can understand why the poor want to eat the rich.
But money itself isn't the problem. Money is just a store of value and a means of exchange. What is bad about that? Gold, as we've discussed many times, happens to be the best form of money the market has ever produced: It's convenient, consistent, durable, divisible, has intrinsic value (it's the second-most reflective and conductive metal, the most nonreactive, the most ductile, and the most malleable of all metals), and can't be created out of thin air.
Those are gold's attributes. People attribute all sorts of other silly things to gold, and poetic critics talk about the evils of the lust for gold. But it's not the gold itself that's evil — it's the psychological aberrations and weaknesses of unethical people that are the problem. The critics are fixating on what is merely a tool, rather than the ethical merits or failures of the people who use the tool and are responsible for the consequences of their actions.
L: OK, so even if you cared only for money, that could be seen as a good thing. But you do care for more — like what?
Doug: Well, money is a tool — the means to achieve various goals. For me, those goals include fine art, wine, cars, homes, horses, cigars, and many other physical things. But it also gives me the ability to do things I enjoy or value — like spend time with friends, go to the gym, lie in the sun, read books, and do pretty much what I want when I want. Let's just call it as philosophers do: "the good life." It's why my partners and I built La Estancia de Cafayate [in Argentina]. We have regular events down there I welcome readers to attend.
But I don't take money too seriously. It's just something you have. It's much less important than what you do, and trivial in comparison to what you are. I could be happy being a hobo. There have been times when I felt my life was just as good and I was just as happy without much money at all. That said, you can't be too rich or too thin.
L: Very good. Investment implications?
Doug: This may all seem rather philosophical, but it's actually extremely important to investors. What is the purpose of investing or speculating? To make money. How can anyone hope to do that well if they feel that there is something immoral or distasteful about making money?
Someone who pinches his or her nose and tries anyway because making money is a necessary evil will never do as well as those who throw themselves into the fray with gusto and delight in doing something valuable — and doing it well.
L: The law of attraction.
Doug: Yes, but I don't view the law of attraction as a metaphysical force — rather as a psychological reality. If you have a negative attitude about something, you're unlikely to attract it… even if you try to talk yourself into thinking the opposite. If you think money is evil, don't bother trying to accumulate wealth. On the other hand, if you want to become wealthy, you'd better think long and hard about your attitudes about money… Cultivate a positive attitude about money, which is right up there with language as one of the most valuable tools man has ever invented. Think about it, and give yourself permission to become rich. It's a good thing.

morality of money? what is it with the wish to justify rich as good. Poor bad, rich good. Why bother. Maybe this makes sense within a group, but across groups. Asian concept that markets are wars by other means-build up your forces to take on the world.

Better to force people to stand alone-open all markets. So labour can slosh around the world like capital and ignore all borders…free movement and free labour market…maybe better don't know. Irish might have liked an open labour market when the potato famine hit and hundreds of thousands became surplus to market and died or some volcano makes farming in Europe frozen in the 1800s and people starve.

I'd like to know how Mr. Casey got his money. Did he inherit it, or inherit at least a significant stake? Did he receive a lot of it for merely opining? Did he grow it by placing the right bets in the market casino? Or did he make his fortune by actually PRODUCING something? That when you drop on your foot, it hurts? Or that's edible. Or that's technologically innovative? If not, has he provided unarguably useful services like, say, removing infected gallbladders or wiring buildings?
Unquestionably, the banker-politician axis destroys as it goes about swelling its coffers. But I wonder whether Mr. Casey isn't far closer on the spectrum, in terms of compensation for productivity, to that axis than to those he likes to hold up as admirable.

When I read the news about Krista Blevins founding the GSA at Yucca Valley High School, I was so impressed. As the founder of my high school GSA, I remember how much courage it took. I wanted Krista to be able to share her story with GSA youth and supporters everywhere.
My Story
By Krista Blevins, GSA President/Creator, Yucca Valley High School
As a former GSA activist and GSA Network Alumni myself, I'm always interested to hear what my fellow GSA youth activists are up to now as adults. It's great to hear how people have been inspired by their GSA experience and continue to give back to the community. I'm happy to share Jennifer's story with you.
From GSA Youth Activist to GSA Advisor
Jennifer Pardini, who graduated from Carlmont High School in Belmont in 2001, got her start in LGBTQ activism through her GSA.
Yesterday, GSA Network won $20,000 through the Chase Community Giving Challenge on Facebook! We did it with your help. Thank you!
GSA Network congratulates our colleagues at the Illinois Safe Schools Alliance who championed a safe schools bill that just became law in Illinois. On June 27, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn signed into law Senate Bill 3266, the Prevent School Violence Act, which defines bullying for the first time in Illinois law and explicitly prohibits bullying based on actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity/expression, as well as other personal characteristics.
During the month of June, GSA activists took to the streets of California's cities, towns and communities to celebrate 40+ years of the LGBT civil rights movement. Forty-one years ago, on June 28, 1969, queer youth, drag queens, and transgender folks fought back against a police raid on the Stonewall Inn, a queer bar in New York City. For three days afterwards, the LGBT community of New York City rioted against the long-standing homophobia and transphobia they faced everyday.
It was late September of 2009, when a student told me, "I don't think a lot of people are going to join that group, something like that." I had just started collecting signatures to form the first Middle College High School Gay-Straight Alliance. I was more nervous than I have ever been. Asking for people's signatures was hard enough, but now I had to actually run this club. Despite how hard it might be to get people excited about a new club or speak in front of large audiences, I knew that I had to start the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) at my school. It was a matter of life and death.
In fantastic news this week the New York State Senate passed the "Dignity for All Students Act," which will prohibit bullying and harassment on the basis of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, color, national origin, religion, weight or disability in New York schools. The law
In the fall of 2009, GSA Network made the strategic decision to participate in the Public Allies program and invite two Public Allies to join our staff. Public Allies is an organization that matches youth leaders who are interested in working in non-profits with organizations who are seeking new talent. For GSA Network, the partnership with Public Allies made complete sense as both organizations are striving to develop young leaders.
On June 16, 2010 closing arguments begin in the federal trial challenging the constitutionality of California's Prop 8, the ban on marriage for same-sex couples that voters passed in November 2008. Judge Vaughn Walker issued a set of questions that he asked each side to address in their closing arguments.
On June 8th, four GSA Network youth leaders won a collective eight scholarships at the 4th Annual Los Angeles LGBTA Youth Awards held at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center's Renberg Theater.

Awhile back I found the electronics panel from a Norditrak and it got me to dreaming about building another spaceship. ANOTHER spaceship? Yes, I built 2 spaceships back in the 90's out of wood and pressboard. The 'Instruments' were my Amiga 500, my Betamax, a monitor, a telephone system, speakers and amp. That kind of stuff. I build 2. The first one a two-seater I never really finished, then tore it down and did a single seater with the captain's chair from the van I sold. The outside was finished with spraypainted thick cardboard bought from an upholstery suppply place. The ship was called the Falcon, complete with the emblem from the car called a Falcon. My ship was my refuge from the world. A place to retreat and relax. Watch a movie, play a game, etc.
In other news, My ISP provider has gone AWOL. I can still get my email, but can't connect to the net at home. It's been about 2 weeks, I think it's time to find another provider. Until that situation is resolved, I post however I can - trying to stick to once a week - preferrably on weekends. But we shall see how it all works out.

we were so glad when we recently moved a few blocks away from lederhosen, as we had frequented it a number of times despite the fact that we used to live in the UWS. We have only ordered the kielbasa and bratwurst sandwiches and platters, as well as the pretzel, because they are so good we cannot ever convince ourselves to order anything else! the beers on tap are delicious and the service is very friendly. because i am half Polish, I grew up eating my share of kielbasa, and lederhosen cooks it just right every time. served with pickled cabbage and the cold potato salad, it is a very satisfying meal. the decor is kitschy, from the landscapes painted on the walls of the dining room to the fake fireplace out front. highly recommended!
Posted by Sontheimer on 05/27/2008
I knew from my friends that Lederhosen on Grove Street in the village was jammed on weekends. So when my friends and I planned to hang there for food and drinks we phoned ahead. The person on the phone told us to be there before six or we would have trouble getting served. We arrived at five and were promptly seated at a picnic table under the fuax alps in the back room. When we left two and a half hours later there was a waiting time of one hour for a seat. The concrete floors and tall celing (old theater space) echo the noise of the crowd. However once the huge liter mugs of excellent German Beer flowed, you really didn't care. We decided to try an order of potato pancakes and some herring in sour cream. Both dishes were really good. For the main course we had smoked pork chops, roast pork, bratwurst and meatballs. The sides served were fried potato ( nothing special) excellent spatzle (noodles) and home made mashed potato. Everything was quite tasty except the meatballs which were a bit too salty. For dessert we split a hot apple strudel with vanilla ice cream. Our German waitress was attentive but because of the crowd the small kitchen can be slow.

To say that this place has poor service and rudeness is a gross understatement. Im terribly sorry I have never rated a restaurant online but would never go back there again EVER and frankly I do not recommend this place. Take your money elsewhere, food is about ambiance, service and good hospitality. Of which this place has NONE. It was one of the worst foodie experiences of my life and frankly you too deserve better. I walked out and never looked back.
Posted by Graciegirl on 04/18/2008
I've probably been here roughly 20 times in the last 3 years. It's fabulous for any beer/sausage cravings. I always get the currywurst and spatzle with lots of beer to wash it down. The waitstaff is a bit bitchy at times, but hey, they're authentic. To me it's worth the possible snear from the waitress...she's a bit gruff in a take charge Eastern European kind of way. The food and beer are totally worth it though. Also I hosted a birthday party for about 15-20 people here and our total bill was only $250. Everyone had a blast and it was a total hit. I also love the horridly kitsch mural of the Alps. It's so bad it's good.

I had german food for first time I loved it here. Soup and entrees were great. Wine was nice too. The ambience is kinda country side.. But great service and very reasonbly priced.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/23/2008
I've never had German food before so I don't want to critique it as much on that since it seemed to be authentic with all the different kinds of bratwurst and herring you can think of. The service was not good though. We had just finished our lunch with barely anyone else in the hall and asked for a one liter of beer that we thought we couldn't finish between the three of us. First, when we asked for separate glasses, the waitress gave us the evil eye, and then later she comes back and says she can't give us any more glasses with no reason, except that water glasses were plain in view from the service table so we just got up and took two glasses for ourselves. So I suppose if that is authentic civility, you won't be disappointed but for the rest of us, it's at odds with what is considered good service.

It is great to stop there during winter time. They know how to prepare excellent Glühwein, which instantly warms you up on a cold day. I was trying to find place like that for a long time. I must agree with the other review that the potatoes are oversalted, but other than that I don't have any complaints. The place has very pleasant atmosphere.

For the past three months, a Palestinian refugee camp in the Middle East has been under attack, resulting in the death of hundreds of people and the displacement of nearly half of the camp's 40,000 residents. Yet the United Nations Security Council has not held an emergency session to condemn the attack. Nor have the governments of France and Britain issued statements condemning the "atrocities" against the Palestinian refugees in the Nahr al-Bared camp in northern Lebanon. For those who may wonder why there is no public outcry, the answer is simple. The army that is attacking the camp with heavy artillery and helicopter warships is not the IDF. It's an Arab army—the Lebanese Army.
Palestinian refugee camps in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon have long served as bases for various terror groups. In the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the IDF has been forced over the past few years to launch pinpoint operations against Hamas, Fatah, and Islamic Jihad terrorists who find shelter among civilians. Most of the Israeli military operations have drawn sharp criticism from the international community and the Arab world, even when the raids resulted only in the killing or capture of the terrorists.
I was one of the journalists covering the battle in the West Bank's Jenin refugee camp in 2002. Then, the Israelis lost 23 soldiers because they were reluctant to use artillery and tanks out of fear that civilians would be hurt. I still remember how IDF officers briefed their soldiers before the operation, asking them to do their utmost to avoid civilian casualties. Although more than 80 percent of the victims of the ensuing battle were members of armed groups that had operated freely in the camp, many human rights organizations (and some governments) continue to refer to the events there as the "Jenin massacre."
In the case of Nahr al-Bared, the story is completely different. No one seems to care about the fact that dozens of civilians have been killed in the fighting between Lebanese troops and terrorists belonging to the al Qaeda-linked Fatah al-Islam group. A Palestinian who fled the camp two weeks ago told me that over 200 houses have been completely destroyed in the fighting, and that bodies have been lying in the streets for weeks.
"We brought this tragedy upon ourselves," he admitted. "We allowed this group of terrorists to establish their bases inside the camp and now we are paying the price. The world doesn't care about us anymore because they say we had harbored the terrorists and provided them with food and medicine." Have Palestinian refugees in other camps in the Middle East drawn the same conclusion? The answer is a big no. Militiamen and armed gangs continue to operate in most of these camps, especially in the Palestinian territories and in Lebanon. The Lebanese army and the IDF still have a lot of difficult work ahead of them. Sadly, many civilians will continue to pay the price—unless they wake up one morning and decide to expel the terrorists from their streets.

Today, I have been thinking about Valentine's day. In past years, I haven't done A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G for Valentine's day. No Decorating. No Cards. No Gifts. Zilch!
This year, it's going to be a little different.
Why? I've started planning recipes for my Valentine's posts. I've been brainstorming cheap & easy Valentine's Day decor ideas. I've contemplated kids' craft and Valentine's Day card ideas.
I'm doing it for you, dear readers.
And, today's brainstorming session went a little something like this….

As he traveled across the Southeast in the late 18th century, naturalist William Bartram described with a sense of awe "a vast forest of the most stately pine trees that can be imagined." He was writing about the longleaf pine forest that then blanketed much of the region.
That forest and the rich ecosystem engendered beneath its spreading canopy virtually disappeared during the generations that followed. At present, only 3 percent of the original acreage remains.
But thanks to woodland stewards in eastern portions of Charleston County and in Berkeley and Georgetown counties, we're seeing an exceptional restoration of this living treasure in the Lowcountry. The commitment is already showing results.
As recently reported by The Post and Courier's Bo Petersen, 50,000 acres of the fire-dependent longleaf pine ecosystem exist in this region of the Lowcountry — more than a third of the 145,000 acres when colonists settled here.
Recovering lost longleaf pine acreage has been a mission of The Nature Conservancy, which has been joined by forward-thinking landowners and natural resource agencies to make it happen. The restoration effort is possible because of the large-scale land protections achieved by TNC and its partners over the last 30 years. The Sewee region is the only South Carolina site identified in a nine-state restoration plan.
In late 2012, TNC organized the Sewee Longleaf Conservation Cooperative, consisting of public and private members interested in the longleaf pine's revival. Property owners like White Oak Forestry, an affiliate of the Evening Post Publishing Co., and Palmetto and Fairfield plantations are doing it knowing that it will take longer to get financial returns for their slower-growing investment.
Eventually, however, the longleaf forest will be financially valuable for its durable timber. Already, the forest is extraordinarily valuable for the plant life and wildlife it supports. Longleaf pines provide a habitat for about 30 threatened or endangered plant and animal species, 60 percent of the reptile and amphibian species in South Carolina and more than 68 bird species.
And perhaps, the private commitment to longleaf restoration will inspire other landowners to follow suit. The South has a long way to go to recover from a century of overharvesting longleaf pines. In Colonial days, the longleaf pine was preeminent, particularly in the Carolinas and Georgia, though including areas as far west as Texas.
The vast canopy of the longleaf forest covered some 90 million acres. In the mid 1990s, that singular ecosystem had declined to 3 million acres.
One of the Sewee Longleaf Conservation Cooperative's public partners, the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, recently awarded TNC a $215,000 grant to expand private longleaf restoration by 1,000 acres and continue restoration on 3,000 acres surrounding the Francis Marion National Forest. The project will include prescribed burning to increase the number of longleaf pines, planting seedlings, restoring native understory species and controlling invasive species.
The South Carolina Lowcountry is as beautiful and healthy as it is today because wise people over the years dedicated their time and resources to care for their environment.
The Sewee Longleaf Conservation Cooperative is showing how a threatened Lowcountry ecosystem can be restored for the benefit of generations to come.
It will serve as an example for landowners in other regions to do the same.

Ospreys pair in the dock
Posted: February 19, 2013|
OSPREYS duo Joe Bearman and Ross Jones have been cited for an alleged dangerous tackle during their side's Pro12 defeat to Connacht in Galway on Friday night.
The pair have been cited for an incident in the 27th minute of the 22-10 loss, contrary to law 10.4(j).
The law states: "Lifting a player from the ground and dropping or driving that player into the ground whilst that player's feet are still off the ground such that the player's head and/or upper body come into contact with the ground is dangerous play."
The pair will attend a hearing before an independent disciplinary panel at a date to be confirmed.
The Ospreys, currently in fifth spot in the Pro12 table, are already without a host of players because of international commitments and injuries.
They take on Edinburgh at the Liberty Stadium on Friday evening.
Meanwhile, the star billing of the British Lions has seen all three Tests against Australia this summer confirmed as sell-outs.
The Australian Rugby Union said that the general public ticket allocations were "drained" within minutes of going on public sale.

I'm having a hard time getting in the holly jolly mood so far this holiday season. It might be that I'm in the middle of an existential/life crisis.
Who knows. It's like magnets, no one really knows how they work.*
I just went on Facebook and looked at my posts from last year and I had so much holiday cheer that I probably annoyed just about everyone around me. Fun decorations, crafts, activities and all of it with a big a happy face. This year I feel like I just want to put up a tree and take a nap… It's not that I feel like I need the stereotypical christmas fun time, I just want to be able to give my little girly a fun holiday season like we did last year.
The other night my daughter came up with the idea that her name was Sparkle and she sang about how sparkly her sparkly dress was and did a little sparkly dance. That girl could make anything fun and cheerful so I just need to siphon some of that cheeriness out and add in into a cocktail for me. I want this holiday season to be like that dance; ridiculous and fun and sparkly!
So what are the plans for this holiday season to get back in the happy sparkly holiday cheer mood? We are calling it Operation Cheery Ho-Ho (which I just realized sounds like a military operation carried out by strippers in Santa hats…) and here are the key components:
~ Christmas countdown trees – We had a great time making them last year and instead of trying to reinvent the wheel I think we'll do them again this year.
~ Weekly holiday activities for the girly and me – Because of my homeschooling interest I am a part of a great little Yahoo Group called CATCH which posts fun and sometimes free activities for kids. This time of year I am getting boat loads of holiday happenings emails so the plan is to schedule in a lot of these fun outings this month.
~ Holiday baking – Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies, Frosted Sugar Cookies, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Neiman Marcus Cookies, and any new ones I come across will be on our baking list this year!
~ Glittery Sparkly House craft – My friend introduced me to the idea of creating glitter houses and I think maybe instead of doing a gingerbread house the girly and I will make a Glittery Holiday House instead! Then we can make it a tradition and make a new one each year to add to the collection!
I'm sure I'll post updates as we work our way through Operation: Cheery Ho-Ho so look for some fun tutorials and recipes this coming month. See, I'm already starting to feel more cheery just thinking about all this holiday togetherness fun! I may have to self medicate with wine to make it happen but I am determined to be a happy elf this year!
*PS: Don't give me that face and say "Ummm, actually, lots of people know how magnets work." I am aware of this fact but apparently you and I are wrong and magnets are actually magic because ICP says so. Here's the video that is NSFW but enjoy feeling better about yourself as you watch it.

Report: Horror-themed Mesa restaurant not reopening
PHOENIX -- A horror-themed restaurant in Mesa, Ariz., will reportedly not reopen despite rumors to the contrary.
According to the Phoenix New Times, Monsterland was planning to reopen in late August but announced over the holiday weekend that the restaurant would remain closed.
An unsigned post (which we assume was from Wynn) to Monsterland's Facebook just before the recent holiday weekend states that he has "decided to accept an offer for the building" and the new business going into the place isn't keeping all the ghouls and goblins around.
"Unfortunately, the new business will be changing to a corporate and wedding venue," Wynn states. "It will keep a castle theme, but, I will be selling the props and animatronics"
The restaurant also announced that all decorations and animatronics were sold to the 13th Floor Haunter House that operates in north Phoenix.
The restaurant, located near 13th Street and Main in downtown Mesa, was originally a haunted house.
Monsterland originally opened in April 2012 but closed in January because it was overwhelmed.
"We focused on good fresh prepared menu items, Arizona Craft beers, and great service. We struggled at our opening, but am proud to say we have received hundreds of positive reviews and compliments the past 9 months," said former owner Kevin Wynn in a letter posted to Facebook.
KTAR's Sandra Haros contributed to this report.

(Jun 12, 2009) A controversial Afghan law that many Western analysts equate with legalizing rape was put into force after it received the approval of the Afghanistan Parliament (both the lower and upper house) and was signed into law by the President Hamid Karzai in March 2009.
"The passage of the law has amounted to something of a historical irony," an article in THE NEW YORK TIMES noted. Afghan Shiites, who comprise about 20 percent of the population, were regarded by the Taliban as apostates and suffered for it. (Dexter Filkins, Afghan Women Protest New Law on Home Life, THE New York Times, Apr. 15, 2009,available at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/16/world/asia/16afghan.html?_r=1.) The majority of the population in Afghanistan, including Pashtus, Tajiks, Baluchis, and others, are followers of the Sunni sect of Islam. Following the collapse of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, the Shiites have been enjoying a renaissance and a new prominence, which gave rise to the view that a separate Personal Status Law, applicable only to Shiite Afghans, should be adopted. Afghanistan's Civil Law contains family law inspired by the Sunni tradition.
The new Personal Status Law for the Shiite minority contains some provisions that essentially give clerics authority over intimate matters between women and men. Women in Afghanistan and rights groups abroad have protested three parts of the law in particular.
1. Article 132 states: "…It is the duty of the wife to defer to her husband's inclination for sexual enjoyment."
2. Article 132 also states: "If a man demands his wife to apply makeup on behalf of the man, she is obliged to do so…"
3. Article 133, section 2, states: "If a wife has employment before marriage and continuation of the job is conditioned at the time of the marriage contract, in this situation the husband cannot oppose the wife's employment after marriage, unless such employment is against the interest of the family or one of the spouses."
(Shiite Personal Status Law, REFWORLD, [Unofficial English translation by the United States Agency for International Development] (Mar. 2009), available at ; Husband Can Refuse to Feed the Wife, IRAN TIMES INTERNATIONAL [in English], May 8, 2009, at 6; Filkins, supra.)

COLUMBIA CITY ┬Ł┬Ł ┬ŁŌĆö What began as a normal playground at Coesse Elementary School, turned into a battle field to fight cancer Tuesday.
Coesse students held their annual mini Relay for Life to raise money for the American Cancer Society and Whitley CountyŌĆÖs Relay for Life.
ŌĆ£We used to have a regular field day, but then we decided to do something more than just that. We started having a mini relay for the American Cancer Society,ŌĆØ said Margaret Taylor, a second grade teacher.
Teachers, staff, parents and volunteers were on hand yesterday as the students participated in many different activities geared to celebrate life and fight for a cure.
Josh Hecht and Conner Sparks are fourth graders at Coesse.
They both worked to raise money for the relay and were excited about the dayŌĆÖs festivities.
ŌĆ£There is a bounce house that we race through. Its fun. I sold dum-dums and bookmarks to help raise money,ŌĆØ said Hecht.
ŌĆ£The more money we raised, the more duct tape we got to tape up our principal. We got tape to tape her arms and legs,ŌĆØ Sparks said.
The day might be a fun time spent outside the classroom, but the reason for the relay wasnŌĆÖt lost on these elementary students.
ŌĆ£We sold cancer signs and raised about $15. Natalie made them and then we sold them,ŌĆØsaid Alyssa Swangin about Natalie Reyes and their friendsŌĆÖ efforts for the relay.
ŌĆ£I like doing it because it helps raise money for cancer,ŌĆØ Showlyn Patee, another relay participant, said.
One student partnered with her mom, who is in the middle of battling cancer. Together they worked to raise $25.
ŌĆ£Mom ordered things online and I sold them. I sold necklaces, buttons and pencils that said, ŌĆśpink is not just a pretty color.ŌĆÖ My mom has cancer so I wanted to do this to help find a cure,ŌĆØ said Samantha Barcus.
BarcusŌĆÖ mother, Carrie, was there to walk the survivors lap. This was a lap reserved for those surviving cancer.
Also in the crowd was Relay for Life committee person, Tammi Pence. She has been involved with the relay for 10 years.
ŌĆ£It was awesome to come out and see these kids doing this. My friend, Brandi Duncan, invited me to come out and I am so glad she did. This was really neat,ŌĆØ Pence said.

By deciding to hold a special election in October to replace the late Sen. Frank Lautenberg, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie "has opened himself up to the accusation that he is putting his own interests before those of his party, and of his taxpaying constituents," says John Cassidy in The New Yorker.
The Observation Deck
A blog of opinions on local, state and national issues
Chris Christie gambles with Lautenberg succession
One Response
When asked in 2009, specifically what he would do to fill Frank Lautenberg's seat should he die in office (not kidding), he stated that he would not waste $10 million on a special election, but it seems now that spending $23.8 million to have a special election THREE WEEKS BEFORE THE NOVEMBER ELECTION, is somehow a good idea. This self-serving, Koch brothers' ring kissing, lying hypocrite is what he is, a big fat fraud.

More Ways to Get BrainPOP Up and Running in Your Classroom
A few more tips…
- If you only have one computer for the class you can take a tour of the site together. After watching the tour you can use an interactive whiteboard and ask student volunteers to click on different features and explore them as a group.
- Make it fast and easy for kids to log in. Create a url so students are automatically logged in. Or, add BrainPOP or BrainPOP Jr as a bookmark on your browser's toolbar. Just go to the homepage and then click on the tiny Moby face at the top of the window (this may be on a tab if you have several tabs open). Then drag the icon to an empty space on your bookmark toolbar. You can also do this with specific movies you'd like kids to view. We've also got typeable Subscriber Stickers you can print and stick on or next to each computer monitor. Big help when you've got a classroom full of Kindergarteners who all want your help logging in at the same time.
- You can build BrainPOP or BrainPOP Jr. into your class routines starting in September! For example you can use BrainPOP Jr.'s Belly Up comic as a shared reading for K-3 students. Start by introducing the topic and reading the Belly Up together, modeling fluency and expression. Use the Print feature to make copies available for each of your students or partnerships. Kids can take turns reading the speech bubbles for the characters. For older kids you can use the Cassie and Rita comics from the FYI features to introduce students to new topics.
What's worked for you? How did you introduce BrainPOP to your students? Share below!

Name of Company:
Good Housekeeping
Duration of internship:
Less than 1 month
Did you do this internship within the last two years?
London, UK
What kind of internship was this?
Number of days worked per week & Number of hours worked per week:
worked Tues – Friday (as I was not available Monday) 9.30-5.30
How did you find this internship?
just emailed the company
What kind of work did you do and how relevant were your projects?
I was in the fashion cupboard sending back returns, checking emails and managing phone calls. These projects were important to the cupboard as otherwise it would be overrun with clothes and angry emails from PR companies needing their stuff back!
Number of interns you worked with on a daily basis:
Describe the dress code:
Whatever, but I tried to dress well.
Rate the level of professionalism in the office:
Please rate your internship from 1-10:
Additional comments:
The girls were lovely. They were so friendly and really made me feel welcome. Sometimes certain magazines can have a 'bitchy' air about them, with people who work there often looking down on interns, but not here.
However, the work was very minimal, basic and often boring. Nothing was challenging, but I did it anyway because it was a step in the right direction for my career in journalism.

Ants have taken over our paver patio and there are ant hills all over. We put it in 3 years ago and haven't had problems until now. Any ideas for how to get rid of them? I'd really prefer something that isn't toxic to pets but I'll use chemicals if I have to.
I've tried Epsom salts around the mounds which sort of worked. There aren't as many ants but they're still there. I've also tried soaking the patio with water and that didn't work either.
I think the Terro ant baits are supposed to be safe for pets. And I know that you can put them outside. I've had luck with them indoors.
I have also heard that red chili pepper or cinnamon will work, but I haven't tried either for ants.
When you tried water, did you use boiling water?

very effective, incredible value
8 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1859641 on Jan 16, 2012
By far the best value for I've found for this, with nearly twice as much gymnemic acid per penny as the next best deal (also from Source Naturals). Living up to the "Ultra Potency" name (which curiously isn't included in the catalog heading at iHerb), it not only has the most gymnema extract per tablet, but the extract is high-concentration, with 75% gymnemic acid.
I can vouch that gymnema dramatically helps in managing blood sugar. I know this because I'd been trying to go without it temporarily, and am feeling the difference. As of the time I am posting, this has been out-of-stock at iHerb for at least a month-and-a-half. I tend to be frugal, and wanted to see if I could wait it out. I can't wait anymore. The product I'm ordering instead costs two-and-a-half times more per mg of gymnemic acid, which is disappointing. iHerb is usually very good with replenishing its stock, so I hope that this hasn't been discontinued.

This product is an integral part of my diabetes management program. I take this, chromium & alpha lipoic acid. I have blood sugar in truly normal range, 70-90 almost all the time. I have noticed my body is able to handle a healthy amount of natural carbohydrates thanks to gymnema, even if I skip a few days.
I don't want any more sweets

This works great. Appetite decreases and cravings for sweets dissappear. Forgot to take for 2 days and notice thoughts of food starting to take "hold" as before. All in all, it helps you to eat sensibly - not taking all your appetite away so that you end uop eating a lot later, but giving you control over cravings and desire for junk food

Source Naturals Gymnema Sylvestra works the best out of the gymnema sylvestra supplements I have tried. After nine months of taking this formula, along with banaba, cinnamon, a multi-vitamin and fish/flax oils, moving around more, and eating a low-fat diet of fish, egg whites, and non-starchy vegetables my blood sugar is normal (previously my average blood sugar was 345). I also take Jarrow Adrenal Optimizer.

I have taken your product off and on for 12 months. I tried a different one and it didn't work as well as Source Naturals. I'm back on this brand now and I intend to stay on it. I take one twice a day and it has helped to lower my A1C. My doctor is amazed at how well it is lowering my A1C. I recommend it to everyone I know who has diabetes. It is a remarkable product. I wish all Drs. would recommend Gymnema Sylvestre for their diabetic patients.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Hip guests, a funky courtyard pool, and weekend nightlife at Chambers Eat + Drink restaurant and lounge elevate this 44-room converted motel to hip hotel status.
Set in "humble" (read: seedy) Tenderloin District environs, the Phoenix is a pioneer of the hip hotel in a dubious locale, not to mention the flagship of California's popular Joie de Vivre boutique hotel chain (now with 35 hotels in the state). The chain's CEO, Chip Conley, took a gamble back in 1987 when he bought what was the Caravan Lodge Motel (circa 1956), spiffed up the rooms and pool, and gave it its hopeful name. He also had the ingenuity to utilize the property's large parking lot, rare among the hotels with more desirable downtown addresses, to provide tour bus parking and shore power for traveling musicians, which, in combination with the charming, bohemian vibe of the property, may be the secret to his success. The hotel attracts an impressive roster of rocker guests, including Joan Jett, David Bowie, Moby, Little Richard, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, and The Shins, as well as a cult following of patrons who don't mind venturing to this rough, out-of-the-way location for a chance to feel as cool as their favorite band.
Despite the all-star guest list, the Phoenix's rooms and amenities aren't for pampered starlets. This is a dressed-up motel, after all. Its 44 bare-bones rooms and suites are relatively small for San Francisco (245 to 500 square feet) and have little more than beds, bathrooms, and dated tube TVs, and range from standard Double Double Rooms to suites that have refrigerators and microwaves. Last renovated in 2006, the decor is mostly 1950s kitsch, accented with somewhat random musical instruments (a bamboo xylophone in one room, for example), though the four suites have more modern decor. It's no surprise, given the rocker aesthetic, that rooms can be rather noisy: They all face the courtyard pool, have thin walls, and require you to get on the party bandwagon, even if you're not actually at the party being held down below. Consider earplugs.
What the Phoenix lacks on a list of services and facilities, it makes up for with a cheery staff and a great atmosphere. Forget about room service, poolside service, a fitness center, or business center. You're in cool rocker mode, remember? These things aren't supposed to matter. The courtyard pool feels like a slice of 1950's SoCal with colorful sculptures, several potted palms, original mosaic on the pool's bottom, and tons of lounge chairs and sheltered cabanas. The atmospheric Chambers Eat + Drink restaurant and lounge serves dinner and a sceney nightlife. A friendly staff mans the front desk 24 hours and acts as a knowledgeable concierge, with an impressive index of restaurants, bars, and musician-specific resources (like music shops, rehearsal and recording studios, and instrument repair shops). For the hotel's low-maintenance guests, it's all they need to be happy.
Located on the edge of the seedy Tenderloin
At check-in, the friendly front desk clerk gives guests a map and cheerfully notes, "We're in a seedy part of town, if you hadn't noticed, so before you go anywhere, just let us know so we can tell you the nicest route." You have to give the hotel credit for not pretending to be in any other neighborhood: The staff is forthcoming with guests about the dangers and annoyances of the Tenderloin, and the hotel actually hosts fundraisers to help the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation, a nonprofit housing provider.
Though we group the Phoenix with downtown or Union Square hotels, it's nowhere near the upscale shops and bustling city parks and museums that those areas are known for. Located between Civic Center and the Tenderloin, it's in a neighborhood known for significantly higher rates of poverty, homelessness, and crime than other neighborhoods. Alongside the low-income housing, drug-treatment centers, and homeless shelters, though, is a budding community of artists and writers that call the area home, of which the Phoenix is a member of sorts. But unlike the Mission and even SoMa, which, in large part, have been gentrified, the vibe here is still undoubtedly dicey.
Famous for A-list rocker guests and an artsy, cool vibe, this one-of-a-kind, converted 44-room motel may have seedy Tenderloin District surroundings and bare-bones rooms, but the unique, SoCal-style courtyard pool and happening on-site nightlife keep the hip crowd happy.

Candidates for Mayor, Vienna
(Vote for not more than one)
M. Jane Seeman, Independent, Incumbent
Biography: M Jane Seeman, Mayor since 2000, Councilmember 1996-2000, BA Fort Hays Kansas State University, Vienna resident since 1968, over 3000 volunteer hours Patrick Henry Library, Historic Vienna Inc. volunteer, Rotary Club of Vienna, ViVaVienna! Volunteer, member Vienna Presbyterian Church.
Traffic: Traffic on Maple Avenue will continue to increase with the redevelopment of Tysons Corner. We need better, more reliable, convenient, neighborhood bus service in Vienna. I believe in keeping the traffic out of our neighborhoods and on the main routes through Vienna.
Infrastructure: Vienna�s water and sewer infrastructure is in good condition. A 2010 report shows that 95% of water lines are in good to fair condition. There is a plan in place now to replace and upgrade water and sewer lines with money from the Capital Improvement Program.
Safe Routes: I support the Safe Routes to School, the Walk-to-Downtown and the Walk to Metro grant initiatives which will enable Vienna to build more neighborhood sidewalks. Our Capital Improvement Program has additional funds for sidewalks.
Issue: We are working on a vision plan for Maple Avenue. It is important that we keep our small town atmosphere while taking advantage of redevelopment opportunities. We must find our unique niche and yet keep our identity. Parking or the lack of parking is an issue I recognize and am planning. A new recycling, trash and special pickup program will need extensive public outreach to be effective. This is one of the several efficiencies we are undertaking in order to bring better service to Vienna citizens with no increased cost. We have stormwater issues that need to be addressed. Our Capital Improvement Program has funds in which to begin these projects.
Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com; 703-938-2884
Candidates for Town Council, Vienna
(Vote for not more than three)
Laurie Genevro Cole, Independent, Incumbent
Biography: Laurie Genevro Cole seeks her sixth term on Vienna Town Council. A 26-year Vienna resident, she is active in local civic organizations as well as serving in Town government. Laurie was named the 2011 Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce Citizen of the Year.
Traffic: Only regional solutions are going to make a significant difference in Maple Avenue congestion. For the sake of our residents and businesses, we need public transportation serving Vienna, Tysons, Oakton and beyond, to offer a viable alternative to single vehicle trips. Even the cost of using the Dulles Toll Road affects traffic on Maple. I will continue to work with Tysons planners to get regional improvements to aid Maple Avenue.
Infrastructure: It�s important to note that �aging� doesn�t equal �decaying�. Vienna�s preventive maintenance work keeps our systems in good condition, as shown by a recent independent audit. With borrowing costs at historic lows, we have an opportunity to use bond funding to support more vigorous repair and replacement efforts. Funding improvements while moderating rate increases is our challenge.
Safe Routes: I�m glad to support programs that give our kids safe opportunities to be active, including walking and riding to school. In addition to supporting funding for sidewalks which are part of the SRTS plans and at other locations, I initiated the Council�s adoption of an ordinance requiring bike riders aged 14 and under to wear helmets, as allowed by state law. Providing for our children�s health and safety is an important focus of my service on Council.
Issue: More important than any single issue to our community is the need for individuals to get involved. Neighborhood associations, civic organizations like the Optimist and Rotary Clubs, and the Town�s own Boards and Commissions all need the active participation of our talented residents. The time commitment pays big rewards in benefits to our community, in a sense of accomplishment, and in modeling public service to our kids. People tend to mobilize when a critical issue arises, but I propose that the right time to get involved is now.
Contact: email@example.com
Edythe Frankel Kelleher, Independent, Incumbent
Biography: Councilwoman since 2002. Previously county Supervisor staff, property manager, defense contractor administrator, Labor Department economist. Vienna Green Expo, Friends of Vienna Town Green, Vienna Volunteer Fire Department Capital Campaign, Halloween Parade. American Legion Auxiliary, Lions Club, PTA/PTSAs. Civic association president, Vienna Beautification Commission. MBA, George Washington University. BA, Johns Hopkins. Married, three children.
Traffic: Traffic belongs on Maple Avenue, not cutting through residential neighborhoods. We can keep commuters moving by coordinating traffic lights. We can facilitate non-motorized local trips by providing pedestrian and bicycling opportunities. The process for installing bike racks has been streamlined. We established a Bicycle Advisory Committee and will create a Pedestrian Advisory Committee to investigate other innovative ideas. (See #3, sidewalks.)
Infrastructure: Last year�s comprehensive water/sewer study assessed infrastructure conditions and outlined a renewal plan. The proposed 2012 bond issue includes funding for that plan. The two Public Works revenue sources are water/sewer rates and real estate taxes. Because about 40% of our water customers are outside the Town limits, it is necessary to pay water/sewer expenses from water/sewer revenues. However, rates in our small system are much higher than in the surrounding large system. With one of our water suppliers considering merging into the other, Vienna may also need to be consolidated. We must make decisions that result in the lowest overall costs for Town residents and water/sewer ratepayers.
Safe Routes: I support Vienna�s participation in the Federal �Safe Routes to Schools� program. Sidewalk proposals originate from the individual school communities, with the Town endorsing the proposals, applying for grants, and managing construction. Other programs require matching funds, such as the �Walk to Downtown Initiative.� Vienna�s proposed 2012 bond issue includes $700,000 that could be the Town�s match for up to $3.5 million in sidewalk grants.
Issue: Maple Avenue redevelopment: With major changes at Tysons and Merrifield, Vienna needs a strategy to retain its home-town identity and commercial vitality. The Town will soon hire a consultant to hold public input sessions and write new zoning rules. There will be many public hearings and amendments, but we hope to arrive at community consensus and adopt new guidelines within 18 months.

Michael J. Polychrones, Independent, Incumbent
Biography: Polychrones has been a Council member since 1996. Prior to his election to the Council he was a member of the Planning Commission and Transportation & Safety Commissions for the Town of Vienna. He is a Past President of the Virginia Municipal league.
Traffic: The real question is do I think traffic congestion will get worse with the Tyson�s Redevelopment plan and the answer is yes I do. The plan to mitigate the effects of the increase is to further the efforts of traffic light timing throughout town at during the peak traffic periods to allow for better flow on Maple Avenue.
Infrastructure: Over the last 16 years on council I have always supported both the annual maintenance of our water and sewer system and its upgrades in our CIP program. The recent study of the system sows while we have some further work to perform, our system is in good shape and continues to provide good potable water. It is and will always be a priority to maintain the safe and efficient water quality.
Safe Routes: Yes I do! I have voted for these projects in Vienna where the residents have requested them. However, I will not vote to place them if a majority of property owners do not want sidewalks in a particular area.
Issue: Since first being elected to Town Council, I have said that we need a long range plan for the Maple Avenue Business corridor. After all these years of study, we are at a point where a plan could be in place within the next year, at least that is my goal. I will work with my other council colleagues to bring this to fruition. It is imperative we have something in place with all of the redevelopment at Tyson�s and Merrifield, in order to maintain Vienna�s unique character and community.

A classic "lost race" story, with all of the required elements: a seductive empress, a straight-arrow hero, battles, escapes, sorcery, and earth-shattering cataclysms! Eminently readable and very entertaining, without any profundity to distract a fan of Haggard, Aubrey, or Janvier-style fantasy literature.
Canary for the good of his lungs, and write it because he felt dull up in that cave?"
"I made a mistake there. The author was not an Egyptian. It was the similarity of the inscribed character which misled me. The book was written by one Deucalion, who seems to have been a priest or general--or perhaps both--and he was an Atlantean. How it got there, I don't know yet. Probably that was told in the last few pages, which a certain vandal smashed up with his pocketknife, in getting them away from the place where they were stowed."
"That's right, abuse me. Deucalion you say? There was a Deucalion in the Greek mythology. He was one of the two who escaped from the Flood: their Noah, in fact."
"The swamping of the continent of Atlantis might very well correspond to the Flood."
"Is there a Pyrrha then? She was Deucalion's wife."
"I haven't come across her yet. But there's a Phorenice, who may be the same. She seems to have been the reigning Empress, as far as I can make out at presen
I enjoyed this more than I expected and picked it up at every opportunity.
The first chapter, set in 'modern' times, in which ancient tablets describing the events on Atlantis are found, was not particularly well-written nor engaging.
However, once the action started the author seemed to find his pace and the book was quite enjoyable, if a tad corny at times.
Certainly a more entertaining way to pass a few evenings than watching most of the stuff you'll find on TV
This was an okay book. It was a little tedious at points and I had a hard time making a real connection with the main character at times.
This is a great book! I was bored one evening and picked it up and read straight through til morning.

Quark XPress Upgrade: Will Secondhand Work?
I've been offered a Quark XPress 7 Upgrade (proper upgrade box). I am running 6.5 at the moment, all above board and registered.
Question is, will I be able to upgrade to 7 using an upgrade that someone else has bought or does it require it's own registration details to match the buyers older version?
I'm only upgrading to produce one job, then I'm looking to move to InDesign CS4 so i don't want the expense of buying an 8 upgrade.
Thanks, in advance.
