Reflections on the notes written to Roberta during her 20 days of Cancer - Patty Kaiser
Delivered during Roberta's Memorial Service, November 6, 2010. (audio)
As a research analyst, it's my job to do this type of thing, to sift through information and to identify key similarities or points of disagreement about various topics. But, I'm sure it's a surprise to no one here that it does not requires a professional eye to discern the unwavering consistency of the impression that Roberta has made on people over the years. It will also be no surprise to find that most of the common themes that come through in these messages readily lend themselves to references to God's Word.
As is the case for many people here, Roberta Herr was one of the first people I got to know at Valley Presbyterian Church. When we decided it was time to really become involved in the life of the church, we approached Norm and he immediately scooped us in and told us, "There's a church luncheon today - come and sit with my family and we'll talk." Before we went up to lunch, Norm told us, "My wife, Roberta, is profoundly deaf, but she's an excellent lip reader. As long as you're facing her when you speak, she'll be able to understand you." And so she always did, in all types of conversations, even with multiple speakers.
Beyond her skills as a lip reader, I think the real key to Roberta's ability to understand the people around her was that she really cared about what they said to her. When you spoke with Roberta, you knew she was paying attention to you – not just because she was watching intently - but because her responses were thoughtful and insightful. When we talked to her, she asked questions, expressed concerns, made suggestions. She let us know that we were important to her. Some friends write:
You always brought a great sense of love and kindness into every conversation and a deep caring for others and their walk with the Lord.
The words that stand out most in our minds, that we hear Roberta say over and over are, 'How can I pray for you?'
The following memory – the only one, by the way, that even hints of Roberta's hearing impairment - shows how she even went out of her way to put her particular conversational skills to good use for a friend:
Almost 20 years ago…my husband…was in Kaiser for five months on a ventilator. At this time, Roberta was expecting John. Each time she came to Kaiser for a doctor's appointment, she would come up to my husband's room. He always enjoyed her visits very much. He was unable to speak because of the ventilator. Roberta's ability to read lips was such a blessing. This allowed him to carry on an actual conversation without having to write everything out. Her visits always lifted his spirits.
In going through these messages and my own memories, I realized one of the sweet ironies of knowing Roberta is that she was one of the best listeners I ever knew.
However - I can attest to the fact that even Roberta had her limits with regard to what she was willing to listen to. Once, on our way to an afternoon hiking trip with some other women from church, I was driving and Roberta was in the front seat with me. I had become so accustomed to making sure I was facing her when I spoke, I naturally turned to face her – while I was driving. She said, "You don't have to face me when you're driving. In fact, if you keep doing it, I'm getting out of the car!"
One of the often-repeated themes on the website is one of thankfulness for the site itself. As soon as we heard about the seriousness of Roberta's condition, this highly-informational, beautifully-formatted blog seemed to spring into being. Norm knew that we were hurting along with the family, that we wanted to know what was happening, how we might help, how we might pray – and he faithfully provided answers to questions, information about their children, photos, updates – he allowed us to share in their experience, he even encouraged us - and people expressed their gratitude.
I just wanted you to know that this website speaks volumes about Roberta's courage and faith in her last days in this fallen world. Everyone here that I've shared your story with has been encouraged to trust the Lord whatever their circumstance. I will be forever grateful for Roberta's example and for your telling us about it on this site.
Thank you so much for the website and the updates. It is such a difficult and sad time, but each post lets me know how to pray and support you and your family.
The site not only provided us with information, but also allowed us an opportunity to tell Roberta and her family what she meant to us during a time when few could visit in person.
As I started to note clusters of recurring words in people's memories of Roberta, it didn't take long for Galatians chapter 5 to come to mind, with its description of the fruit of the Spirit – verses 22 and 23 tell us But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. These words are used over and over again as people share their memories of Roberta.
From the first moment I met you, you have always shown such warmth, kindness and genuine love to all of those around you. I appreciate, even now, your commitment to serve and lift up everyone around you.
I was so, so happy to see you at the reunion and so pleased to learn of your wonderful life…I felt such a peace and gentleness from you and wanted to keep talking with you.
Roberta was one of the most beautiful, faithful, gentle, patient Christian women I have ever known.
Other words that many people use to describe Roberta are sweet, smiling and beautiful. Often, friends refer to these features all at the same time, calling to mind that her real beauty was like the description given in 1st Peter chapter 3, verses 3 and 4; Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
May you know that your sweet spirit, beautiful smile and amazing faith has touched so many people.
You may not remember me from Pali, but I remember you....beautiful red hair and always smiling.
You were and continue to be one of the most beautiful and compassionate people I've had the pleasure to meet. Please know that there are others out here like me who knew you so long ago and have never forgotten the bright spirit that you are.
I've always appreciated your graceful and warm hospitality and your beautiful and gentle smile that always welcomed me whenever I came by.
But friends do not just remember someone who was sweet and gentle – adventurous and strong are also words that they use to describe Roberta. Friends from elementary school call her "mischievous" and recall the fun they used to have together. People refer to how much they always look forward to reading the Herr family newsletter to catch up on all of their adventures. Not long ago, Roberta told me about a solo alpine hike that she took while the family was camping in Europe. And it wasn't just fun and outdoor adventure that appealed to her - in one of our recent conversations she told me about her efforts to prepare some rental properties for occupation, how much work it had required – and how very much she had enjoyed it, and that she was looking forward to taking on similar challenges.
Although sweet and kind, you are also equal parts, strong and determined. To say that you are quiet and soft spoken may aptly describe you, but to those who really know you, we see an outgoing and adventurous soul. And when at times, you might feel self conscious, you have always chosen to be courageous.
Through Norm's updates these past weeks, we got to see that Roberta's strong and courageous spirit served her and her family well during this, their most challenging journey.
She was able to teach her children both how to live and how to die in God's presence.
I am so saddened to hear of your diagnosis, and yet inspired, as I see so many here have been, by your grace, courage, and faith—it all sounds so like you.
People who have known Roberta carry with them a strong sense that she has touched their lives – she was no passer-by, offering a wave and a hurried hello/goodbye – she stopped, she reached out and she touched us. I looked up the definition of "touch" on dictionary.com – the entry says that to touch is "to put the hand or finger, etc., on or in contact with." And when I read that I smiled – Roberta's touch was all about that "etc." – she touched people with love, prayer, counsel, hospitality – in so many ways. We knew we were welcome in her home, she loved to cook for people. She helped take care of people who were sick. She kept in touch with friends from elementary school, high school and college – who had valued her as a childhood playmate and appreciated her as an adult.
You are a very precious individual to me and I am more appreciative than ever that you reached out to me to rekindle our friendship from our college days together…You have touched my life in ways I don't even have words for.
I greatly appreciated the way you reached out to me/my family after my stroke, in addition to offering your valuable professional advice regarding therapy and rehabilitation.
All the times you opened your home for us to have Bible studies, all the treats prepared afterwards and the wonderful time of fellowship - these are the true treasured moments in our lives. You have made a difference in our lives.
From the first moment I met you and from then on every time I saw you, you embraced me with open arms and an open heart. You made me feel welcome and that I had an instant new friend in you. You blessed me so much in those moments...I was just a visitor at church, only coming every couple of months when I came to visit my sister and her family. I want to say thank you.
As Roberta touched people's lives, many saw her as setting an example to be followed, saw her as a role model. Roberta was a leader, not because she set herself up as an authority, but because people wanted to follow where they saw her going. She shared a lot with young wives and mothers, offering insights into how to adjust to the changes in their lives and relationships as they matured. With her contemporaries, she shared laughter and support for the challenges that she knew we were all facing as we were forced to realize that we were the "mature and responsible" ladies of the church as well as the mothers of children who were becoming adults and moving on with their lives. She encouraged others to live as committed servants of God by doing so herself.
One time, when your children were young, I remember you shared your heart's concern that your children learn to respond to the needs around them. You said that by helping others, they would learn that others would help them in their time of need, that God put us here, not by accident, for each other. Well, you led by example, and look at your children now!
I will always remember the time that you shared the qualities of being a leader, never claiming to be one...but you so are! You live out the Scripture, and share the vision of, and anticipation for, the things promised for Eternity
You have a way of sharing your heart that is full of life and wisdom and Scripture that exudes the aroma of Christ, makes me want to be with you and encourages me to buck up and keep going.
We are so thankful for your example of what a Godly wife, mother, and friend should be.
Anyone that met Roberta and spoke to her long enough for the words to come out of her mouth, knew that she had a husband named Norm, a daughter, two sons and in recent years, a son-in-law. And in the messages posted on the blog, a sense of the importance of family blossoms like a garden around Roberta's name. And it's not just about her own family – her "extended family" included not only the household she grew up in, but those of us at Valley Pres, numerous international students who had stayed with her and Norm over the years, and I'm sure, a whole lot of people I don't know about.
Roberta had a real heart for the struggles of young mothers as they raised their own families, and was always available for advice and encouragement. But it wasn't just the mothers that drew her attention - Roberta always showed a particularly loving interest in the young children around her, maintaining that interest as they grew to adulthood. She was an active helper in the church nursery and took time to get to know the young ones in our congregation. I'll always remember one Christmas when my daughter was still small - we had joined others from church at the Herr's home for a holiday get-together. The next morning in church, Roberta came to me and said, "Katie moved all of the pieces of my nativity scene around." Before I could even start to apologize, she said with a smile, "I left everything just where she put it. It's been a long time since my kids were interested in playing with my nativity scene." She was really pleased that a child had been a participant in the Christmas story using her small decorations. Comments about Roberta's love for other people's kids come from grateful parents and from the kids themselves – now grown, some raising their own families.
I specifically remember how she would seek out my children, and engage them in conversation.
You are like a second mother to my daughter. She spent quite a lot of time with you growing up.
I remember coming to your home and being welcomed so warmly. I watched as you made even the tiniest guests feel at home by offering them books and toys that you just happened to have on hand.
You have truly been a mother to me from the time I was a young tyke, running around VPC with John. Thank you for looking out for me, for treating me as a son. I love you so very much.
You have greatly impacted my life as far back as I can remember and you continue to be a blessing to both me and my family even now. Your meek and humble spirit has impacted our family in ways you could never know.
Thank you so much for the amazing Godly influence you've been in my life and in the lives of so many other people.
We all know that Roberta loved her own children and was proud of them, but more than that – at all times, her sheer delight in them was evident – even if she was mentioning something that had bothered her (which wasn't often), she knew that mistakes and trying times provided opportunities for growth and maturity. As Christiana, Stephen and John grew to adulthood, the pride and delight were still evident, but it was joined by an acknowledgement of them as fellow laborers for the Lord. The messages posted for Roberta reflect the Godly legacy she has left in her children.
I know that Roberta leaves a lasting legacy of the gospel because I know how God shines in Christiana's life.
You have a beautiful family. My mom had shared so much about them with me. I remember Stephen sitting with us at a wedding reception and sharing his plans. What a wonderful young man.
I am a friend of your son John at UCSB. I heard about the news and I just wanted to say that all of us in Reformed University Fellowship are praying for you.
You and I have never met. But I took classes with Dr. Herr and worked with your three children. What a tremendous blessing it is to have the Herr children on the same team! You have devoted your life to Jesus and built up the hearts of your three children in a way that brings glory and honor to Him!
Norm is mentioned in these messages primarily as the "man behind the blog", but not necessarily in many other places. I think the main reason he is not always specifically mentioned is that his place alongside Roberta's name is assumed. We know if Roberta gets the message, then Norm gets it, and vice versa – they come as a package deal. And even though, in one of her funny, candid comments, Roberta once told me that as a young girl, she was not necessarily keen on having a boyfriend named Norman, I'm sure that I am not alone in having a difficult time saying, or even thinking, one of their names without the other. Norm and Roberta have taught us much about what Christian marriage can and should be.
You and I have never met although I feel as if I know you. I am one of Dr. Herr's current students and I want you to know that he has talked about you with great love and respect in nearly every class and workshop that I have been in of his throughout 2010. I just want to say thank you to you and Dr. Herr for allowing me the opportunity to have learned so much from both of you about life, learning, faith, family and love,
Those who posted messages for Roberta and her family communicate clearly that they are stunned, deeply saddened, heartbroken, but at this point in her Christian walk, Roberta once again led us by example. We knew from Norm's updates that Roberta was not afraid, was not angry, but was trusting and praising God as she had always done. And the messages on the website, likewise, do not show fear or anger, nor do they offer vain hopes and empty encouragements. Rather, they overflow with thanksgiving for Roberta and her family, praise for God and humble acknowledgement of His sovereignty.
Our hearts ache, and yet, we know how unshakable is your trust in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are reminded of Isaiah's words to God's people, "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you."
We cry for you and praise God at the same time for the ways that He is so real, in the ways that only you and He know, and in the ways that He allows for us to see.
I know you are trusting in God for your future and you are leading us all by your example in paths of righteousness as we read about your journey and are inspired to live lives of faith for the sake of the Kingdom.
God is bigger than all this. He has a sovereign plan in place that we don't yet understand. The only thing we can do now is rest in that fact and know that He is good.
While everyone was thankful for the website as a place where they could read updates and post their messages of love and encouragement, what they really wanted was a chance to see Roberta, to spend just a bit more time with her, but for most, this was not possible. My husband and I were among the few who were able to see her when we took dinner to the family, and our own memories of Roberta will forever be colored by the specialness of that time with her. We had a chance to witness firsthand how God has been working in that household, among the entire family and we were blessed by it.
I wrote down my memories of that time, partly to preserve it for myself and my husband, but also to share with the Herr family and with you. I'd like to read a portion of it, beginning at the point where Norm tells us we can spend a few minutes with Roberta, so you can see what we saw – that Roberta in a time of intense trial and suffering was the same Roberta you described in your messages.
Norm looks into the other room and tells us that he thinks Roberta is ready to see us. He has spoken so much about her pain, her efforts to breathe, the rapid swelling of her internal organs, that I put a smile on my face and brace myself as I enter the room, assuming my friend might look drastically different from when I last saw her just a few weeks ago. She does look different, and I am completely unprepared for the transformation. She is beautiful.
I always considered Roberta an attractive person, but her beauty tonight has a shimmery quality. She looks youthful and fresh. Her smile is warm and welcoming and nearly constant throughout our visit. Her eyes are opened wide and shining. Her eyes…her eyes are almost impossible to describe – not because there are no words, but because there are too many needed to adequately communicate what I see in them, what they say to me. They tell me she is glad to see me, that she loves me, that she is well cared for, that she is enjoying this time with her family. They are the animated eyes of a woman who is excited about the future, a woman who has plans.
She greets us, and with graceful movements takes our hands and lifts her face to our kisses. Her first words to us are, "Dan, Norm is really going to need you, soon." She smiles as she says this; her tone is loving, but serious. This is no polite request; it is a commission. Dan has a job to do.
With this first order of business out of the way, she thanks me for bringing dinner for the family and says the boys look forward to the meals people have been bringing and are always interested to find out what's for dinner. I confirm that this was one of the first things Stephen asked, and tell her that I knew I was free to be creative and make something interesting for them because she has them trained to eat a wide variety of dishes from different cultures. She nods and agrees that this is true.
I had stressed for days about what we might talk about, tried to put myself in the situation, to think about what I might want to discuss with friends who came to visit me for the last time. I eventually gave it up and just trusted that I would know what to say when the time came. And this is the case – because as any good hostess will do with guests in her home, Roberta guides the conversation.
I tell her I've been praying for her mother. She thanks me, and immediately adds, "And my sister," showing where Roberta's own concerns lie, even as we are all concerned for her. As we talk, she gestures to her abdomen and says that she has so much swelling it makes it difficult for her to cry. She says this almost as though she needs to apologize for a lack of emotion. But from where I stand, that part of her is covered by a blanket – I barely notice it. I am too focused on how lightly and fluidly her hand moves. I notice how well the purple of her nightshirt suits her and I tell her so. She lights up and tells me Christiana found it for her and bought similar nightshirts in different colors, that it is soft and comfortable because it reaches down to her knees. She says this with the same satisfaction and pleasure that any woman has when telling a friend about a particularly good clothing purchase.
She asks if we brought Katie, and I say no. She nods and says this is good, "I'm not ready for kids to see me. I want them to remember me the way I was." Meanwhile, I'm thinking I will gladly hold this image of her in my mind always. I'm happy just to stand here and look at her, to have her look at me, and to hold her hand. I know that she is on oxygen – the tubes are wrapped around my feet as I stand beside the bed – but as I think of her face, I have no recollection of tubes anywhere. I see only her smile, the tilt of her head and her eyes.
My thought is, the only time I've seen her look this lovely is in her wedding photos, hanging nearby in the hallway. This seems appropriate and declares the clear source of her radiant beauty - she has heard the call of her Bridegroom. She has oil for her lamp. She is ready.
Norm, her earthly bridegroom and chief caretaker, appears at the foot of the bed and says, "I think that's enough for now." I want to say, "But look at her – she doesn't look tired; she is happy to be with us! We don't need to leave yet. Not yet." But there is no trace of "suggestion" in his voice. It's time for us to go.
Though it was rarely verbalized, I could see that a predominant theme running through the messages to Roberta was an echo of my own heart's cry of "not yet." Regardless of our assurance of her destination, we were not ready to let her go. Those who know the Lord that Roberta loved and served know that there will be a reunion with her one day, and that it will be an extraordinary day – but not because of the reunion with Roberta. It will be extraordinary because of the presence of Jesus, who Roberta would be the first to tell you, is the source of the steadfast characteristics that we were privileged to know in her.

Preparing for a fashionable Fall!
It might seem ludicrous to think about Fall trends while we are amidst the semi-blistering Aussie Summer – however I assure you, winter clothes will be in stores soon enough and you must be prepared.
The Fall 2011 shows revived some of my favourite trends in an exceptionally innovative – dare I say – fashion.
Of these trends, I'm going to share with you my favourites, and deliver a heads up on what to look for when you hit the stores this winter!
A distinct sixties style permeated the Fall 11 runways. Labels like Bottego Veneta, Burberry Prorsum and Jil Sander all channeled the iconic decade with high necklines, shift and A-line dresses, knee-high socks and plenty of plaid, floral and houndstooth prints. Instead of the intoxicatingly bright colours of the sixties however, the palette was restrained to neutral variations. That's not to say that a pop of colour wasn't incorporated here or there – in fact this monitored use is what made the 2011 rebirth of the sixties trend so unanticipated and fresh. Accessorize this look minimally with a wide belt and/or streamline clutch. Following these tips accordingly will ensure you don't look like you've gone back in time, only forward!
The trend I am about to mention is one that I never thought I'd classify as a "favourite". Thanks to its reincarnation by design houses like Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Malandrino and Stella McCartney however, I can safely, happily and extremely confidently say … that I'm pro-spot!!! It's impossible to count how many times we've seen the polka-dot trend, most often when we (well I) don't want to. This Fall though, I was surprised by my instant attraction toward the look. There is absolutely nothing fatigued about the way designers showcased it this season, and I can't wait to see it hit the streets! For an idea on the novel incorporation of polka dots, look at Stella McCartney's sequin discs embroidered onto tulle bodices…love!
Another reincarnated trend for Fall? The never-failing tuxedo look! And who gave this trend a new pump of life!? Balmain, D& G, Haider Ackermann and my favorite version?…courtesy of Mr Michael Kors. Thanks Michael!

The lovable father on television's Diff'rent Strokes has died of natural causes in California, his daughter says.
09:37, UK, Thursday 17 January 2013
Conrad Bain, who starred as the kindly white adoptive father of two young African-American brothers in the TV sitcom Diff'rent Strokes, has died.
His daughter said he passed away on Monday of natural causes in California. He was 89.
Diff'rent Strokes, which debuted on NBC in 1978, was most noticed for its child actors, especially Gary Coleman, who played the younger brother.
The show, which moved to ABC in 1985, ran for eight seasons. The final episode aired in 1986.
Bain played wealthy Manhattan widower Philip Drummond, who promised his dying housekeeper he would raise her sons, played by Coleman and Todd Bridges.
The veteran actor always said he did not mind being overshadowed by the focus on the show's children.
He praised them as natural talents without egos.
But the show is remembered mostly for their subsequent adult troubles.
Coleman, who died in 2010, had financial and legal problems in addition to continuing ill health from the kidney disease that stunted his growth and required transplants.
Bridges and Dana Plato, who played his teenage daughter, both had arrest records and drug problems, and Plato died of an overdose in 1999 at age 34.
Bain said in later interviews that he struggled to talk about his TV children's troubled lives because of his love for them.
His artist wife Monica Sloan died in 2009. He is survived by three children.

The Bering Sea was a body of water on Earth, lying between the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The International Date Line ran through the Bering Sea. Major islands of the sea include the Aleutian Islands. (TOS: "The Cage")
This sea was identified on a political map of the North Pacific region. This map was accessed from the USS Enterprise library computer by the Talosians in 2254.
In 1986, the humpback whales George and Gracie were released back into the wild in the Bering Sea. They nearly fell victim to poachers before the men were scared off by the decloaking of a captured Klingon Bird-of-Prey, dubbed HMS Bounty by the officers of the late starship USS Enterprise.

Recently, compagny for the one i work bought around 100 Galaxy S3 for the technician on the road and for everyone else. Most of us found that the battery doesnt last the full day. Around 3-4 hours and we all work mostly 8-10 hours per day.
We installed Airwatch to prevent users of installing apps in the phone butwe still have problem with the battery... Phone cant be root / custom roms.
Is there another way to removed nearly all applications that we dont want and that can drain battery. We only need like bluettoth, phone email and calendar. All the rest can be removed to save battery.
Thanks a lot

When I put a fancy pants rice cooker on my wedding registry, some people thought it was silly. Why would anyone need a $150 rice cooker (this is the smaller sized one; they have bigger, pricier ones too) when you can cook rice in a pot on the stove?
I have a lot of kitchen appliances that I never use. Ahem, Breville juicer, I'm talking to you! But aside from my food processor, I'd say the rice cooker gets the most use. I used it not once, not twice, but three times today!
For dinner, I made Lentil and Couscous Salad (although I used millet instead of couscous). Stuck the lentils in the rice cooker and went to the grocery store. When I came back, they were done. Same with the millet. Went downstairs to do some laundry and the rice cooker took care of everything itself. Yes, it would have been faster to cook both things on the stove at the same time, but then I would have had to attend to them and couldn't do other things. And I probably would have burned something.
The Lentil and Couscous Salad was good. I omitted the extra olive oil because I didn't think it needed it. The arugula didn't get 100% coated with the dressing, but it was still good. This will be good to take to work for lunch, I think.
The third time I used the rice cooker? That was for muffins. I love making muffins on Sunday nights. (Who am I? Seriously.) I made these Strawberry Banana Quinoa Muffins. I changed up the ingredients a little bit. I just couldn't make muffins for breakfast that have 2 cups of sugar in them (although, in hindsight, the recipe made a lot more muffins that I expected; I got 19 of out the batter.). So, I halved the brown sugar, used Stevia for the white sugar and used 1/2 white ww flour and 1/2 all-purpose flour. Oh, and I used a different flavor of Chobani. Even though I already had dessert, I had to have a little one. Just to make sure they were good! I mean, you can make muffins (or anything for that matter) and not taste them, right? Success!
Truth be told, I was feeling a little sorry for myself today. It was absolutely gorgeous out – 80 degrees and sunny – and Jason had to go to work. I'm used to him working on the weekends and, for the most part, it just is what it is, but on really nice days like this, I get a little mopey because I can't spend time with my husband. On the flip side, I did get a lot of things done. Seriously, a lot:
• cleaned off four tables (I realize this doesn't sound like much, but it took effort and the house looks substantially cleaner. Plus, I cleaned both bathrooms yesterday. I'm working on my ever present goal of keeping the house cleaner, although Jason thinks we should have the goal of hiring a cleaning service instead. I don't disagree.)
• Got a pedicure. My post half-marathon feet were in dire need. I got purple polish. You know, to cover up the fact that two of my toenails are purple already.
• Did Day 40 of the LiveFIt Trainer (shoulders) including the cardio portion
• Took Murphy on a walk
• Did a million loads of laundry
• Went to the grocery store
• Made the aforementioned lentil and couscous salad and muffins
• cooked a spaghetti squash for a meal for later in the week

Community Reviews
Weave Me a Tale, Gram
This guy can tell a great story, something I've always admired and sought out in country music. From one night stands in "We'll Sweep Out the Ashes in the Morning" to being ditched by his girlfriend for "The Streets of Baltimore," each song captures complex emotional responses to trying situations, something not found in most top-40 country.
His duets with Emmylou Harris reveal the warmth of his raw timbre that I never noticed in his work with The Flying Burrito Brothers, as he's contrasted by her sweet, soaring tone.
I don't think I'd recommend these records to someone who avowedly hates country music, but if you've been drawn to bands like Wilco, The Byrds, The Band, or Big Star, there's probably something here for you.

City Dog, Country Dog : Adapted from an Aesop Fable
Horn Book Guide Reviews 2004 Fall
After art school, friends Henri T. LaPooch and Vincent van Dog visit each other in the country and the city. As expected, neither likes the other's environment. The characters are loosely based on Toulouse-Lautrec and van Gogh, both of whose art is reflected in the attractive cut-paper illustrations. The book includes French phrases and an afterword about the artists. Copyright 2004 Horn Book Guide Reviews.
School Library Journal Reviews 2004 June
K-Gr 4-Vincent van Dog and Henri LaPooch meet at art school and, despite their different backgrounds and temperaments, they become fast friends. Vincent is tall and quiet; Henri is short and noisy. Vincent paints flowers; Henri paints dancers. On the last day of school, they promise to write. Vincent invites Henri to come to the country for a picnic. He prepares a rustic meal of fresh vegetables, but Henri finds country life boring and returns home. He invites his friend to paint the town red. Vincent dislikes the fancy food and the noise. When the dogs are thrown out of the Moulin Rouge, Vincent returns home. Again, the pups correspond and decide to meet at the beach, where they have a marvelous time. Unlike the original fable, these two friends compromise to find something that they both can enjoy. The moral here is: "Vive la diff'rence!" French words in the text are defined with pronunciation at the bottom of each respective page. The large paper-cut illustrations are filled with texture, bright colors, and humor. Artworks done in the style of van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec are incorporated into the pictures. A lively and fun take on Aesop's beloved tale.-Linda Staskus, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Parma, OH Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

MUMBAI: Hindi general entertainment channels (GEC) have hurled the gauntlet back at the TV workers union - Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) - and TV producers associations.
Executives from seven broadcasting companies - Star, Zee, Sony, Sahara One, Viacom18 (Colors), INX Media (9X) and NDTV Imagine - have issued an ultimatum to the two parties to resolve their differences by 9 November, failing which they will stop commissioning any fresh episodes.
The broadcasters have been unanimous in their view that they cannot bear the increased cost that higher wages to TV workers and technicians have thrust upon producers.
The broadcasters have issued a joint statement responding to the FWICE last night. In the statement, they have stated that they were never part of disputes which relates to the terms and conditions at which producers engage cine workers for the shows.
The statement further adds that broadcasters have been paying producers handsomely, and they will have to absorb the increased costs. It further states that the the long term health of the industry depends on "our ability to work collectively to control our costs while continuing to bring the best entertainment content to our loyal audiences."
The broadcasters statement further elaborates that production disruptions are coming at a time when there is an "economic downtown" and "advertising is degrowing," without due notice or warning. "Unless the dispute is resolved immediately, it will threaten the very survival of the Hindi general entertainment category," the statement adds.
In their collective statement to to the FWICE, and the producers associations the broadcasters have asked:
- Both parties must resume normal production of ongoing programmes without any disruption so as to not cause any inconvenience to viewers and advertisers.
- Both parties must work constructively to resolve all their differences by 9 November.
The joint statement from broadcasters shows that they mean business. First, the unions banded together to get producers to meet their demands. The broadcasters have now got together in a show of unity and strength.
Now we have to wait and watch how the producers will respond. And the workers' unions. Will they come back to the table to renegotiate the terms they agreed to earlier? Or will they each stand their ground? And how long will the impasse continue?
On that will depend whether audiences will be able to watch the travails or adventures or heart breaks of their favourite characters on their favourite shows.
Broadcasters firm on not hiking programming costs
Broadcasters are feeling the pinch of the face-off between TV producers and the TV Workers Union.
Star Plus had to show re-runs of its two prime shows (Santan and Sangam) and three afternoon shows (Jahaan Pe Ho Baseera, Kumkum and Grihasti). Zee also had to show old episodes on its 7 pm, 10 pm and 10:30 pm band. 9X's Ruby and Jaa Mai Vaishno Devi had to do away with fresh episodes.
Star Plus GM Keertan Adyanthaya says, "The entire TV industry including the GECs have been hit by the economic turbulence. At a time when the economy is slowing down, we can't afford to hike the ad rates. We are, thus, not in a position to pay more to the TV producers."
Adds a senior executive of a recently launched channel on request of anonymity: "In the current global economic scenario, all broadcasters are having a tough time. If advertisers are shrinking budgets, how can we agree to pay more to producers? We are trying to curb costs. We can't think of increasing our input costs."
Certain marketing initiatives are also put on hold. Zee TV, for instance, has postponed the launch of its afternoon show Choti Bahu which was scheduled to air on 3 November.
Says Zee TV business head Tarun Mehra, "Though we have kept the advertisers informed, its a tough time for all broadcasters to run the channel without fresh content."
Film and TV Producers Guild and FWICE will meet on Monday to resolve the crisis. Says Producers Guild's Mukesh Bhatt, "We will be meeting on Monday to arrive at a possible solution."

Auburn man dead after stabbing, Placerville man faces murder chargeBy: Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer
This El Dorado County Sheriff's Office booking photo shows Wesley Hampshire, 18, of Placerville, who was jailed Wednesday on a murder charge in the death of Auburn resident Matthew Steele.
AUBURN CA - A 20-year-old Auburn man is dead after being stabbed Wednesday in what the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office is calling a possible homicide.
The Sheriff's Office identified the victim Thursday as Auburn resident Matthew Martin Steele.
Steele was reportedly stabbed and went into cardiac arrest after what was described in a 911 call at 4:10 p.m. as an altercation in the area of Brown's Road and Cold Springs Road, just north of Placerville, Sheriff's Sgt. Jim Byers said.
At the same time, the reporting party said the possible suspect had fled on foot from the scene, Byers said.
When deputies arrived, witnesses and local residents were administering CPR to Steele, Byers said. Paramedics transported Steele to Marshall Hospital in Placerville, where he was pronounced dead at 6:24 p.m., he said.
The suspect – 18-year-old Wesley Ronald Hampshire of Placerville – was located at his residence on Brown's Road and taken into custody without incident, the Sheriff's Office reported. Hampshire was booked into El Dorado County Jail on a charge of murder. Arraignment in court could come Friday or Monday.
Byers said late Thursday that the circumstances surrounding the altercation were continuing to be investigated. There had been no word from detectives on what precipitated the incident, he said.
The Sheriff's Office was not identifying the type of implement used in the stabbing.
Steele was driven after the stabbing to a parking lot on Cold Springs Road, adjacent to the pull-in to the private Brown's Road subdivision. The lot was empty Thursday. The Cold Springs Store Market and Deli was no longer in business and a cleanup crew was inside repairing water damage from pipes that had burst in the cold in the empty building.
Outside, a patch of blood and discarded medical supplies used in an attempt to revive Steele were stark evidence of the tragic afternoon altercation.
The site of the stabbing is about a 23-mile drive southeast of Auburn and four miles past Coloma. The area is outside Placerville city limits but in the same postal address area.
The community of Cold Springs is a mix of agricultural and residential lots. Lyle McAtee has lived in Cold Springs for 46 years and said Thursday that the homicide the day before was the first he'd heard of there in nearly 50 years.
"Every nine or 10 years, there might be a fight," McAtee said. "But that's a random thing."
McAtee said he couldn't recall meeting either of the two people involved in the altercation that led to the death of Steele. Cold Springs is a quiet community, where people generally keep to themselves, he said.
Steele's death was met with shock and sadness by people who knew him in the Auburn area.
Curtis Sproul of Newcastle said that Steele went to school with his twin boys, Gordon and Kyle, and he was a frequent guest at their home.
"Matt was not an angel or a 'perfect kid' but he was a wonderful human being," Sproul said. "He was funny, upbeat and a talented guitar player."
Dani Elle Neft went to Placer High School and had classes together with Steele.
"I'd never met someone more animated or thirsty to experience life," Neft said. "He always managed to put a smile on everyone's face – even mine when I thought no one could. He was truly an exceptional human being and he will be missed by every person who ever was lucky to meet him."

A typical pregnancy lasts, on average, 280 days, or 40 weeks — starting with the first day of the last normal menstrual period as day 1. An estimated due date can be calculated by following steps 1 through 3:
First, determine the first day of your last menstrual period.
Next, count back 3 calendar months from that date.
Lastly, add 1 year and 7 days to that date.
For example: Your last menstrual period began on September 9, 2010. Counting back 3 calendar months would be June 9, 2010. Adding 1 year and 7 days would bring you to June 16, 2011, as your estimated due date.
This 3-step method is referred to as Naegele's Rule and is based on a normal 28-day menstrual cycle. Therefore, dates may have to be adjusted for longer or shorter menstrual cycles.
You may also estimate your delivery date by using the steps 1 and 2 and the chart:
First, locate the first day of your last menstrual period (in black text).
Next, note the date directly below. This is your estimated date of delivery (in blue text).

Do not ever place a sticker or any other material on top of the processor Integrated Heat Spreader (IHS) for tracking purposes. Only Thermal Interface Material (TIM) should be applied between the processor IHS and the fan-heatsink. Using any other material will degrade the thermal transfer between the processor, the IHS, and the fan-heatsink. This could potentially damage the processor and void your warranty. See below for an example of what not to do.
The best way to identify and track a processor sold through your place of business is by documenting the Unique Unit Identifier (ATPO/SN) on the invoice. An example is pictured below that illustrates where this can be found on an Intel® Core™2 Duo processor E6700 and other desktop processors.
Consult the appropriate processor Specification Update for where the ATPO/SN is located if you are encountering trouble finding it. This information may be found under the technical documents tab on the applicable Intel® desktop processor family support site.

First Week of October: Work in Progress
The spillways on either side of Pool 3 are also progressing. The walls for both of these structures were poured this week. These walls will support the stop logs that will help manage the water levels within the pool. The multiple sections allow us the capability of moving more or less water depending upon the situation. This will help us manage the daily water levels as well as handle the extreme flooding events. Having a spillway on either side of the pool will allow us to take water on, but also will allow us to get it off the trees in a timely manner in case the flooding happens in the summer, which could be detrimental to the pin oaks.

Interesting article... When I was a kid my grand parents owned a small ranch in northern Ca. Although not nearly as interesting as your article, but nevertheless remends me of when my parents and I would get up at 2am and head down the irrigation irrigation canal gates and wait for the water to come... Once it was there, we would set the gates to rout the water towards our fields to water the alfalfa... Thanks for the artcile! Brian

Southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius)
|Casuarius (1)
|Height: 1.3 - 1.7 m (2)
Female weight: up to 60 kg (4)
Male weight: 35 kg (4)
- The southern cassowary is a large, flightless bird with a helmet of tough skin on its head, used to push through vegetation in the rainforest.
- The southern cassowary got its name from a Papuan word meaning 'horned head'.
- Despite its fearsome reputation, sharp claws and powerful kick, the southern cassowary feeds almost entirely on fruit.
- The female southern cassowary is dominant over the male, and it is the male who incubates the eggs and cares for the chicks.
- Southern cassowary chicks remain in the care of the male for over a year, and he will protect them under his tail if they are threatened.
The southern cassowary is classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).
Cassowaries are large, flightless birds that are related to emus and found only in Australia and New Guinea (2). The southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) has glossy black plumage and a bright blue neck, with red colouring at the nape (3). Two wattles of bare, red coloured skin hang down from the throat. Cassowaries have stout, powerful legs and long feet with 3 toes; the inner toe on each foot has a sharp claw that can reach up to 80 millimetres in length (4).
The name cassowary comes from a Papuan name meaning 'horned head', referring to the helmet of tough skin borne on the crown of the head. This helmet (or casque) slopes backwards and is used to push through vegetation as the cassowary runs through the rainforest with its head down. It also reflects age and dominance. The sexes are similar in appearance, although females tend to be larger and heavier. Chicks are striped black and cream, fading to brown after around five months. The adult colouring and casque begin to develop between two and four years of age (4).
The southern cassowary is found in New Guinea as well as Queensland in north-eastern Australia (3).
The southern cassowary is a rainforest inhabitant, although it is also found in nearby savanna, mangroves and fruit plantations (3).
Cassowaries are usually solitary, and males are subordinate to females if they meet. Females may lay several clutches of eggs during the breeding season, which runs from June to October. These are laid directly onto the forest floor and the male then takes sole responsibility for their care. The male incubates the eggs for around 50 days, turning the eggs and only leaving his charges in order to drink. He cares for his offspring for up to 16 months, protecting them under his tail if threatened (4).
Cassowaries fight by kicking out with their legs. They have a fearsome reputation, but their diet is composed almost entirely of fruit. These birds are important dispersers of a number of rainforest seeds, ranging far in search of fruiting trees (4).
The destruction of rainforest and wet tropical coastal lowland habitat is the most important cause of the decline in the southern cassowary population. As forest is cleared to make way for agriculture or development, populations become fragmented and isolated, reducing genetic variation. The birds may also not have access to sufficient food or water sources in forest patches. Traffic accidents are also important causes of mortality, particularly in Queensland, where some areas are becoming increasingly populated by humans. Where cassowaries come into contact with humans, dogs pose a threat to their survival, preying particularly on young birds. In New Guinea, cassowaries are important food sources for some communities and are heavily hunted as a result (5).
In Australia, most of the remaining habitat of the southern cassowary is now located within protected areas (3). A recovery plan for the species has been drawn up by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service, with the aim of securing and enhancing the status of the southern cassowary in Australia through integrated conservation initiatives (5). In New Guinea, further data on population numbers is required and hunting restrictions may need to be imposed (3). This awesome bird belongs to an ancient lineage and is one of the most striking of the flightless birds; its conservation therefore has important cultural and ecological significance.

Dell Latitude 10 and XPS 12 Windows 8 tablets leak with different designs
With Windows 8 just around the corner is no wonder that hints about upcoming tablets are staring to appear online. The latest leaks/rumors are from Dell, and there are no less that two products that might get to market in Q4 this year: a 10 inch Dell Latitude 10 slate and a 12 inch XPS 12 convertible tablet with a screen swivel mechanism that resembles the Dell Inspiron Duo from late 2010.
One thing before we take a look at these two tablets: you have to take all this info with a little bit of grain and salt, as there's no official confirmation yet and the two leaks seem to originate from different sources within Dell (look at the font face for example in the pictures attached to this post), so someone might just have played a prank on us.
Dell Latitude 10
This is a normal slate tablet based on the latest Intel Clover Trail Atom platform, a dual core low power system with less than stellar performance (when coupled with Windows 7 that is). Personally I don't like Atoms at all, and that's because the trade off in performance for low power consumption doesn't seem to benefit either (takes longer to perform tasks, so you're wasting battery life on nothing and you get annoyed).
But that doesn't mean we have to dismiss the Latitude 10 just yet. The design is plain simple, so don't expect something to woo you when you take the product out of its box. Now back to hardware, I have to say this is a pretty svelte tablet (10.8 x 7.0 x 0.4 inch dimensions and 1.57lb weight) considering it's carrying an x86 CPU and not an ARM model. I just hope it doesn't rely on vents and fans of any kind of cooling as they have no place in a modern slate tablet.
Other niceties include 2GB RAM, an optional 128 GB SSD drive, 8MP back shooter and 2MP front facing webcam, two battery options (2/4cell of 30 0r 60 Whr for 6-8 and 10-12 hours battery life). Oh, and almost forgot to tell you about the 10.1 inch screen with HD ready resolution (1366 x 768 px). So this is not quite the ice breaker tablet from Dell, but you do get the options to beef it up with some security features that might make it appeal to business customers: TPM, Lock slot, fingerprint & smartcard reader, BitLocker, Dell Data Protection and Essentials. No word on price and availability since it's a leaked product…
Dell XPS 12
The second tablet, a more tablet PC like convertible, is the premium Dell XPS 12, a 12.5 inch form factor product with a swivel mechanism that utilises a frame around the display (unknown resolution) instead of a large hinge. I like the hardware design since it was used once before by Dell with the Inspiron Duo, but now we might get some powerful hardware inside this thing, the kind that needs active cooling. The entire XPS 12 will only be 8 to 20 mm thick and weigh 1.4 kg, which is ultrabook territory.
So it's clear this won't be your leisure tablet, but a portable workhorse with the ability to transform into a laptop with a full size keyboard at any time. Since the XPS brand is a premium series from Dell this one will come with a machined aluminium and carbon fiber chassis, edge to edge Gorilla Glass and black/silver color finish. Among the technologies incorporated into this thing I have to mention Instant Access, Always Connected Updated and Location Aware, Intel Smart Connect and Intel Rapid Start (use of a small size SSD in conjuncture with a classic mechanical SSD for fast boot).
Personally I would see myself using a product like the Dell XPS 12 if weight, battery life, performance and pricing fall into second generation ultrabook territory, but only if Windows 8 is as good as Microsoft promises. I'm tired to carrying all my devices that complement themselves (without too much functionality overlap) and all of their chargers.

Queries: How to Create a Parameter Query
How to create a parameter query
A parameter query is one of the simplest and most useful advanced queries you can create. It allows you to create a query that can be updated easily to reflect a new search term. When you open a parameter query, Access will prompt you for a search term and then show you query results that reflect your search.
When you're running parameter queries, search terms act as variable criteria, which are query criteria that change each time you run the query. For instance, let's say we own a bakery and want to create a query that will quickly look up orders that were placed on a certain date. We could create a parameter query with variable criteria in the Date field. This way, each time we run the query a dialog box will appear prompting us to enter the date we want our query to search for.
We'll enter the date we want, then Access will run the query using the date we entered as a search term.
To create and run a parameter query:
- Create a query as you normally would, modifying the table joins if necessary, selecting the fields to include in your query, and adding any nonvariable criteria to the appropriate fields in the Criteria: row.
- Locate the field or fields where you want the variable criteria to appear, and place your cursor in the Criteria: row.
- Type the phrase you want to appear in the prompt that will pop up each time you run your query. Make sure to enclose the phrase in brackets [ ]. For example, in our parameter query that searches for orders placed on a certain date, we might type our criteria like this: [What date?].
- On the Query Design tab, click the Run command to run your query. A dialog box will appear with the prompt you specified. Enter your search term, then click OK to view your query results.
Running a parameter criteria
To run an existing parameter query, simply open it.
Tips for writing parameter queries
- Ideally, the prompt you create for your query should make it clear what type of information the search term should be, and what format it should be entered in. For example, to guarantee that people enter a search for a date in the format we use in our database, we could write the following in the Criteria: row of the Date field: [What date? (mm/dd/yy)].
A more detailed parameter prompt
- The simplest parameter query will give you an exact-match criteria, meaning the query will search for the exact text you enter in the prompt. However, you can turn any type of criteria into a variable criteria. Simply type your prompt text in brackets in the part of the criteria where you would normally put a search term.
For example, in a normal query we could find orders that were placed between two dates by using the criteria Between x AND y, and replacing the x and y with the first and second dates, respectively. To turn this into a parameter criteria, we would simply replace the x and y with the text we want to appear in the prompt. Our variable criteria might look like this: Between [Enter the start date:] AND [Enter the ending date:]. These prompts would appear:A parameter query using more complex criteria

Dr. Carreno is a seasoned MD, listens to the patient and takes time to explain proceedures and health concerns. I would not heistate to recommend his services, however - you must put up with terrible customer service from the support staff...phone calls not returned, test results not delivered, just concenred with one thing only - getting you off the phone. Good thing is no one has to put up with bad service so it's easy to let your feet and your fingers be your voice on social media.
We were unfortunate to have crossed paths at Spohn Shoreline He became my dads attending physician. His bedside manner is poor! Would make diagnosis and change orders with out consulting my dads Chart to see what the specialists had already charted and changed! I felt like I needed to be there to watch him very closely. Our follow up visit after being discharged was with a welcome statement of " I am no longer your doctor because of insurance. My dad has Medicare and a supplemental thru AARP. Which he new prior to visit. Home health called for advice on wound care and he was rude and said not to call him anymore because his insurance was not accepted. Very rude, unprofessional and should not be trusted with anyone's life! My dad is in great hands now at spohn memorial. We will never go back to shoreline in fear of crossing paths with this man
very rude. does not even introduce himself, and spend more time scalding me because i was changing doctors instead of diagnosing me.if i want to change doctors there is a reason for it.on my way out he told me to find another doctor.
One of the best, if not the best Family Practice Physicians in Corpus Christi. Very friendly, helpful, and an outstanding office staff.
Doctor spent 3 minutes with me after one & half hour wait. Sent me to labs and has never gotten back with me on results. I had to pay for the labs. Called office 5 times and no call back
nice bedside manner!! caring!!!
I have been going to Dr Fernando for about 6 years and he is right on the money when it comes to my care.

Thursday Sept 4, 2008
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said tailback
Chris "Beanie" Wells will not play when the third-ranked Buckeyes
take on Ohio on Saturday.
Wells injured his right foot in last weekend's 43-0 victory over
Youngstown State. He has not practiced with the team this week and
has spent much of the time wearing a protective boot. Tressel told reporters Thursday that while he feels good about Wells' progress, there wasn't enough progress for Wells to practice with the team through Wednesday.
Tressel says it's too early to speculate on whether Wells would
be available for the game on Sept. 13 at No. 1 Southern California.
