You can create water movement in your reef aquarium using several means:
Powerheads, while relatively inexpensive, produce only laminar currents. If you choose to implement a powerhead, do not aim water flow directly at invertebrates - the flow may be too intense and organisms may suffer damage. You can, however, direct flow to a specific area to reduce detritus buildup. Depending on your aquarium setup, you can create multi-directional flow with a powerhead by adding PVC pipe and fittings to the outflow.
Oscillating powerheads rotate within the aquarium and direct water over a wider area. By implementing several of these devices, you can create a turbulence pattern similar to that found on a reef.
Electronic wavemakers may be used with multiple standard or oscillating powerheads to produce turbulence by shutting the powerheads off and on in random fashion.
Water flow diverters, installed on the return of your main filtration, contain a pressure activated switching valve that acts as an alternating tee, splitting your return line into two separate outputs to create beneficial currents. If your aquarium is large, you can use more than one valve after the tee to create several currents.
Important water flow considerations
Regardless of how you choose to create water movement in your aquarium, prevent salt spray by minimizing bubbling and surface agitation. While salt spray may not initially be problematic, a fine coating of salt will eventually reduce the intensity of the lights and creep into everything around the tank, seriously damaging electrical fixtures/appliances.
While good water movement is critical for the health of your reef aquarium, too much water movement can be unhealthy. If current is too strong in a particular area, corals will grow around that spot. While inhabitants generally adapt to water movement patterns, you must pay close attention to the growth and development of your reef system, and adjust water flow to levels under which inhabitants thrive. With proper planning and equipment, you can easily create healthy water motion within your aquarium.

The Scribblin' Samurai
Dana Stevens answers reader questions during a Reddit AMA.
Slate movie critic Culture Gabfest co-host Dana Stevens took to Reddit to answer reader questions and chat with scores of fanboys on Wednesday. This transcript has been edited for clarity.
Trustrobots: We're four (some would argue five) years into a new decade—what would you say is the best movie that's been released so far?
Dana Stevens: Oh wow, best movie released since 2010? I'm so not a list-maker, and choosing just one is sort of the ultimate list. But off the top of my head, I'm going to go with Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master.
NerdFromDenmark: Pancakes or waffles?
Dana Stevens: French toast. Though I do love a good thin Swedish-style pancake too.
Weltretter: The Adam Kempenaar scenario: Aliens land and will erase every single copy of every film ever made—except one. And you get to choose which one survives. What's your pick?
Dana Stevens: So this would need to be a movie that contains strong enough cinematic DNA to allow a future alternate movie history to spring from its preservation—I think for the sake of humanity, you have to pick Citizen Kane, The Wizard of Oz, or Buster Keaton's The General. Preferably a mutant clone movie incorporating elements of all three.
JessePinkman: You have a doctorate in comparative literature from Berkeley and you could have probably pursued a tenure-track professorship, but instead you became a film critic. What happened with academia?
Dana Stevens: Oh boy. Well. It wasn't me that rejected academia but academia that rejected me: I finished my Ph.D., went out on the job market for several years running, and never got offered a university job. At the time I thought this was a sign of the injustice of the hiring system in the humanities (which is, in fact, screwed six ways from Sunday), but looking back I am sure there were candidates for those jobs who felt more sure about their profession.
When my writing started taking off (i.e., going from blogging 1x/week at the High Sign to actually gettin' paid, initially as a TV critic at Slate), I wasn't too sad to leave academia behind, though I miss some things about it. There are a few critics who have had a similar trajectory, educationwise: A.O. Scott and Virginia Heffernan both either have or went a long way toward getting lit Ph.D.s. I know I wouldn't be the writer and thinker I am if I hadn't had those years at Berkeley.
Revere1: If you could create one new Oscar category, what would it be?
Dana Stevens: Maybe there should be an ensemble cast award? Or a second-best-score category that would include some use of pre-existing music as well as new? A lot of the best scores don't get considered now because of those rules.
Weltretter: Who should play you in the Dana Stevens biopic, and what would it be called?
Dana Stevens: Someone once told me Naomi Watts should play me in a movie, and I ascended to heaven on wings of angels. I think I am more of a ... I don't know ... Jennifer Jason Leigh? But 20 percent less crazy? I don't have a title either. How about The Scribblin' Samurai?
Im_the_Zeppo: Do you have any reviews you look back on where your opinion has wildly changed for the better or worse?
If you could cast a new Siskel & Ebert-type review show, which two critics would you like to see go back and forth (not counting yourself)?
Dana Stevens: Changed for better or worse: I need to resee Young Adult. In our Spoiler Special podcast on it, Dan Kois pretty much persuaded me I saw it wrong. But I'm not sure at what point I will care enough to address that issue. As for a new Siskel and Ebert, I actually thought A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips were just getting their sea legs when they were taken off the air. Do I really not get to cast myself, even in fantasy? I would love to do a show like that with Stephanie Zacharek. We are friends (IRL!!!) but have very different movie taste, and I think we would have a fun rapport. Networks, you know where to find us.
Frdelrosario: Do you take notes in the dark? Favorite films and folks from the Golden Age? Which Pixar films missed?
Dana Stevens: Notes in the Dark! That's the title for my biopic. Yes, I do scribble stuff in the dark, though I rarely look at it later and would probably not be able to read it if I did.
Golden Age—I don't know what we're saying that is, but some of my favorite classic filmmakers are Buster Keaton, Fritz Lang, Preston Sturges, Douglas Sirk, Nicholas Ray, Billy Wilder—the usual suspects, I guess.
I think I've seen every Pixar movie except A Bug's Life, which I never got around to because nobody seems to love it.

Bill Bushaw, the Executive Director of Phi Delta Kappa International, discussed the top issues and key findings from the 2013 PDK/Gallup poll on public schools with the National School Boards Association's (NSBA) Board of Directors this week.
The annual poll, one of the most comprehensive surveys of this country's attitudes toward public education, consistently has shown strong support for local public schools. In particular it recently has found that parents of children in public schools are giving their schools increasingly high grades, with the majority giving their oldest child's school a grade of "A" or "B."
At his presentation to NSBA, Bushaw discussed key topics from the 2013 data that included Common Core State Standards, school safety, school choice, and vouchers, among others. For the 2014 report, which will be released later this summer, Bushaw noted that the analysis will include data on international comparisons.
He noted that PDK/Gallup's data show confusion around the Common Core State Standards. More generally, the public also has expressed a lack of confidence in standardized testing.
Other discussion included:
- Seven in 10 Americans favor charter schools. However, it is uncertain whether the public is aware of the national data that shows charter performance overall is murky. NSBA supports local school board authorization of charter schools to ensure accountability for student performance and fiscal stewardship.
- Conversely, seven in 10 adults oppose vouchers that use public funds to pay private tuition.
- The top skills parents desire include: critical thinking (80 percent), communication, and goal setting.
- There is an interesting right-hand, left-hand disconnect between the public's perception of a neighborhood school versus the public education system as a whole: Most surveyed give their own local schools an "A" or "B," but give the nation's public schools a "C" for quality.
- The public expresses great trust and confidence in public school teachers and principals.
Bushaw noted that the poll is made up of a sampling of more than 1,000 adults.

Rain Barrels At The Ready
4 comments:
If we had gutters on our house, we may invest in a Rain Barrel. For some reason gutters in this are seem rare. I think maybe due to all the Pine Trees and mess the needles can make in gutters. We have been looking at the Rain barrels though and contemplating where we could have one work. We probably should have gutters installed...ReplyDelete
Great information on the rain barrels. I like the overflow hoses which connect them. I have one Fiskars barrel that I have in my rose garden on the side of the house.~~DeeReplyDelete
What a great post! We've been talking about using rain barrels for years, we even have a wine barrel to use. It was great to see how yours is all set up.ReplyDelete
I've been enjoying your blog...I started at the beginning. I just had a give-away of a Fiskar's rain barrel for Earth day. We don't even own one ourselves, but have wanted to. After seeing your three I'm thinking we had better get on the ball and add at least one.ReplyDelete

Commencement 1999 Faculty Address
Barnett began her career at Shoreline Community College in 1978, when she worked as a part-time parent educator and as a coordinator of the Parent-Child Center. She joined Shorelines Education and Human Services faculty in 1981, teaching early childhood education courses. She began her love affair with the multicultural movement in higher education in 1993, when she was asked by the college to develop course work to meet new multicultural core requirements.
She researched curriculum models and talked with other community colleges to understand their perspective on multiculturalism and its role in higher education. Through her research, she discovered that her perception of multiculturalism was far from mature. "The term was so much more specific than what I thought it was all those years living with people of different cultures," says Barnett. "I decided it was time to go back to school." She enrolled in the Multicultural Education doctoral program at the University of Washington in 1990.
Barnett holds a bachelors degree in psychology and one in French Language and Literature from Seattle University. She earned her masters degree in early childhood special education from the University of Washington, and just over two months ago, she completed her doctoral degree in multicultural education from the UW. Her dissertation was "Student Learning in a Multicultural Course."
Barnett has taught a variety of classes such as Multicultural Issues: Culture, Communication and Change; Growth and Development; Creative Teaching; Group Dynamics and Classroom Management; and Child Guidance. Currently she teaches introductory courses in the multicultural studies curriculum.
After 20 years of teaching, Barnett has grown to appreciate how instrumental her students have been in shaping her understanding of the field. "They have taught me how to teach them in a way that they can hear what Im saying as opposed to what they think Im saying," says Barnett. "They have taught me how to sequence and pace my instruction."
One of Barnett's students, Elinor Tesfamariam hated to see Winter Quarter 1999 end. "I was angry about all the race and gender issues that surround us," she says. "Then Professor Barnett helped me understand how to be patient -- and the importance of listening to and understanding other people and where they are coming from." Tesfamariam calls Barnett "my best teacher so far." She is most impressed with Barnetts ability to inspire people to challenge themselves and to go beyond understanding and tolerance, to acceptance and appreciation.
Barnett has faced a variety of challenges in her career. She has been a library aide on a bookmobile, a teacher of fourth graders with behavioral disorders, a parent educator, a preschool teacher and a child care director. Since 1996, she has been a diversity-training consultant for the Washington State Bar Association. She has also offered consulting services to the Shoreline Childrens Center, Latona Childrens Center, State Services for the Deaf and Blind, and Shoreline Public Schools.
If she could have her way, Barnett would teach more -- she enjoys it more than anything. She also enjoys working out, kayaking, backcountry skiing, designing gardens, reading feminist science fiction and playing with her family.
Her presentations include:
This month's challenge is to guess the mystery person. Please e-mail Donna Myers at email@example.com if you would like to take a guess.
This persons second grade teacher said of him,"He is usually the first person to finish an assigned task; however, its usually wrong. He then spends his time distracting those around him." While in college, he lived rent-free in Beverly Hills in exchange for odd jobs and his work as a chauffeur for a 20th Century Fox executive. He drove around Beverly Hills in a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. He chauferred the wealthy family to a party one evening where Robert F. Kennedy was supposed to be among the guests. Kennedy did not make it to the party -- he was assassinated that night. Later, Karim Abdul-Jabbar was his student. This person took a sabbatical leave for one year to work in a friend's new restaurant as a wine steward.
Several people called PIO to see who lived in a jungle in South America and who liked to swim in Puget Sound. Peggy Lytle once again won the free latte by guessing Clarita Bhat as the May mystery person. Many called PIO to say that they were stumped by the puzzle. Latte contenders included Mona Halcomb, who guessed Mary Greiss; and Ruth Clark, who guessed Kathleen Lynch. After Lytle's correct entry, Clark came back and guessed Bhat as did Thalia Saplad.
1999 Commencement Student Speakers Angel Taherazer
At the age of 6, Angel Taherazer fled war-torn Iran with her father and oldest brother. Before making it out of Iran, however, the three were captured by Iraqi soldiers and imprisoned for a year and a half. At the 1999 commencement ceremony, Taherazer will talk to graduating students about the barriers that we encounter on life's journey, and the growth and joy that result when we overcome them.
Taherazer was born in Iran in 1976. Her father, a military man, made the decision to leave Iran when the Iran-Iraq War began. He felt unable to fight for something he did not support. If he had stayed in Iran, his life would have been in danger. The risk was too great to take the youngest children, so they stayed behind with their mother, but Taherazer and her older brother were able to make the journey with their father through the Kurdish Mountains to Iraq.
They traveled by foot and on horseback, and the three lived for six months with other Iranian families in the extreme mountainous conditions. The plan was to return home when the war was over. Unfortunately, they were discovered by Iraqi soldiers near the Kurdistan border and taken to prison, where they stayed for the next one and a half years. Accommodations could have been worse -- they at least were able to stay together with other families in a small room with concrete walls. Bathrooms were a mile walk away, and they were allowed to shower only once or twice a week. They slept on filthy, old mattresses. "The only safe food was hard boiled eggs -- the food was horrible," says Taherazer. "But we were not hurt physically."
In 1983, the American Red Cross rescued them and relocated them to Spain, where her father had family who would help them for the next two years. Taherazer was seven at the time. The next move was to Seattle. Taherazer's mother had difficulty getting proper authorization to leave Iran, but was eventually successful, and the family was reunited in Seattle. It had been nearly seven years since Taherazer had seen her mother and her younger brothers.
They lived in low-income housing. Taherazer and her brothers were able to make friends despite the language barrier. "It was a blessing living in low-income housing," says Taherazer. "I met people from all over the world -- and none of them spoke English either. It didn't matter to them that we came from Iran." School was a different matter, however. The American students ostracized Taherazer and her brothers. "We were different," says Taherazer.
Shortly after the family was reunited, a hit-and-run driver killed the youngest boy. "My family fell apart," says Taherazer. Her parents divorced, her mother went on welfare, and suddenly, she was responsible for far more than she could manage at the age of 12. She shopped, cooked and cared for her brothers and grieving mother. Shortly after the accident, her older brother moved out, leaving Taherazer without any support. To cope, Taherazer developed a tough exterior. Her neighborhood friends were involved in gang activity, and eventually, she too joined the ranks of gang members. By 15, she had quit school and was using drugs.
When her older brother moved back home, Taherazer realized how out of control her life had become. "He was the only one who cared if I succeeded or not. All of a sudden it mattered that I wouldn't be graduating with my class," says Taherazer. She quit using drugs, went back to school and attended night school to make up for lost time. In 1994, she graduated with her class from Ingraham High School.
Then, at 18, Taherazer became a mother. Without denying how difficult it is raising a child as a single parent, Taherazer says that her daughter, Layla, is the best thing that ever happened to her. "She became the motivation of my life," says Taherazer, "and I don't want her to have to go through what I have." Layla also brought hope and joy to Taherazer's mother, and has brought the family together.
When Layla turned one, Taherazer was able to return to school at Shoreline Community College. She enrolled for only one class during her first quarter, afraid that it would be too challenging, but soon discovered that she could succeed -- in fact, she could excel. The next quarter she enrolled fulltime. "I'm smart," says Taherazer.
She became involved in many college activities. She was a student advocate and a Senate member, and she was an active member of the API and International clubs. Taherazer served on a tenure committee and was very active on the Multicultural Week planning committee. She also set up a program on campus to educate students about Initiative 200. She made many new friends and gained leadership skills. "Mona Halcomb got me involved in planning the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day for Shoreline, and I moderated the ceremony in front of a lot of people," says Taherazer.
She graduated from Shoreline Winter Quarter 1999, and today she is at the University of Washington working on a double major in speech communication and psychology. She plans to go on to law school after graduating from the university. "When I look at my life, I realize that all the hardships and difficult times have made me a stronger, better person," she says. "I want to learn the law. I want to master it to help people in need, and then I want to go back to my country and open up a women's college and teach."
George Allen, 21
"The program here is just wonderful," says Allen. "I have learned so much." Within the first two weeks of the program, he knew he had made the right decision. He was learning even more than he had hoped. His family was still living in Italy, and he had gone to the University of Florida for one year. "If I had stayed at the U of Florida, I wouldn't have gotten nearly the specialized education that I got here," Allen says. He is graduating this quarter with a degree in Audio Engineering and another degree in Digital Audio Engineering.
He gives a lot of credit to instructor Steve Mallott. "He has been a real influence for me," he says. "You can go to him and talk about anything. Hes been a disc jockey and an engineer. Even when hes just sitting around and telling you a story, hes teaching you something," says Allen.
Allen plans to pursue a career as a music producer after graduation. He released his first CD, "Its Time," in December, and is currently working on another CD for the production company, Gathered Artist Entertainment. The new CD is a compilation of several local artists. On May 28, Allen produced a show in the campus PUB that featured several of the artists on the compilation CD.
Born in Bangor, Maine, he was raised in Izmir, Turkey until the eighth grade. The family then moved to Verona, Italy, and later to Sigonella in Sicily. His father was in the American Armed Forces, and GA went to schools run by the Department of Defense. Allen speaks both Turkish and Italian. He plans to return to the familys summer house in Turkey this summer, and to visit Sicily to see old friends. Later this year, he will move back to Florida.

When an elementary school-age Roger Banister saw high-profile country and bluegrass performers such as Loretta Lynn, Jimmy Dickens and Archie Campbell perform in nearby Bean Blossom in the late 1960s, the Columbus native let the rhythm crawl up his leg.
"That was a great chance to see the people we now call the old stars," Banister said.
Since those days, the 61-year-old has lived a musical life perhaps more full than he could have imagined, including 20 years as a full-time musician in Chicago. He now plays mandolin and fiddle with the Banister Family Bluegrass Band and also with Cottonpatch, serving up musical helpings of soft, folk rock.
Banister will perform with Cottonpatch at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 25 at Columbus' Harlequin Theatre in the FairOaks Mall, 2380 25th St.
He will play with the bluegrass quartet at the Empty Bowls fundraiser meal for local food banks at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 1 at Columbus' Central Middle School, 725 Seventh St.
And the Banisters also will play at 7 p.m. March 1 at YES Cinema, Fourth and Jackson streets, Columbus. More about the Banisters can be found at banisterbluegrass.com.
More about Cottonpatch can be found on Facebook.
What was the first song you ever learned to play?
"Foggy Mountain Breakdown," not normally a beginner's song, on the five-string banjo at 12 or 13 years old. I was taught by banjo/mandolin/fiddle and guitar player Roger Smith, who played with Bill Monroe in the late 1950s and early 1960s. It was like getting a college education in bluegrass and in Bill Monroe.
Was the banjo a tool for you to meet girls as many guitarists have done?
Just the opposite (laughter). Had I only known. But I was too young to know. It was a repellent.
What will Empty Bowls be like for you in front of several hundred people?
I've always gone just as an attendee and spectator. But it'll be fun to go there as a performer.
The bluegrass group has been performing in some form for more than 20 years. How has it changed?
As we've gotten older, we've been able to highlight other influences beyond bluegrass more. Some people know we've performed at recent "Hoosier Beatles" and "Hoosier Crosby, Stills and Nash" shows. And now we've incorporated some of those songs into our bluegrass. That includes songs such as Neil Young's "Long May You Run" and "Down By the River" and Ringo Starr's "Act Naturally."
That's part of our growing process. Part of it is we're not so concerned about fitting into strictly bluegrass festivals and venues.
You want to have outside musicians play with your groups more, right?
I think people enjoy that. I think they enjoy our getting out of our old comfort zone. It's just a lot of fun to collaborate.
The show at the Harlequin will be loose enough with other musicians to almost be like a jam session. I think that's the bluegrass background in us. Bluegrass and jamming go hand in hand.
How does the family aspect of the Banisters work?
My sister and I always have gotten along well, especially after we both started playing music many years ago. And she and Jan and I and sometimes may have small disagreements over how songs should go, or how the harmony structure should be.
That comes up in any art or musical endeavor. But we all realize that music is a team sport in which you must put aside the ego for the sake of the end result.

African American history
The acquisition of the papers of W.E.B. Du Bois in 1972 established SCUA as a center for research in African American history. In subsequent years, UMass has supported publication of three volumes of Du Bois' correspondence and SCUA has digitized the papers and made them freely available on the internet while serving as a resource for many dozens of scholarly articles and books. SCUA continues in its efforts to build around the Du Bois collection, adding other important printed and manuscript materials both in African American history and in the history of efforts to promote social change.
Every February, SCUA and the Du Bois Department of Afro-Americans Studies at UMass Amherst commemorate Du Bois's birthday by co-sponsoring a public colloquium on Du Bois and his legacy. Our lecturers have included distinguished scholars such as Herbert and Bethina Aptheker, Randolph Bromery, Clayborne Carson, Arnold Rampersad, and David Levering Lewis.

Mission and history
A home for discovery and intensive research, SCUA cares for a record of the pasts we share with generations to come. As part of a community dedicated to the values of diversity, social equity, and positive social change, SCUA acts through its collections, programs, and exhibitions to preserve the memory of human endeavor and experience, with an emphasis on New England . As a collaborator in fulfilling the university's role as a center for the production of knowledge, SCUA uses the highest standards and practices and best technologies available to provide free and unfettered access to its holdings.
Department history
In 1931, nearly half a century after Librarian Henry Hill Goodell first authorized the permanent retention of the official records of Massachusetts Agricultural College, the Library established a College History Collection. As the official record of the activities of the university's administrators and faculty and a reflection of the life of its students, this collection grew steadily, until in 1953, the Library dedicated a room named in honor of Dean William L. Machmer to serve as the first true home of the University Archives.
Goodell's initiative to assemble the College archives coincided roughly with the Library's first efforts to build a collection of rare books to support its educational mission. Although the College had no separate library until 1885, its administrators nevertheless accepted several significant gifts of books, beginning with the 1868 donation of twenty scarce volumes on bee culture from the apiculturist and state Adjutant General Henry K. Oliver. By the time the library published its first catalog in 1875, rare books formed a small, but notable part of the collections, focused on the primary academic interests of the early college: agriculture, horticulture and botany, and the natural sciences. Among the Library's earliest acquisitions were the first London edition of William Bartram's Travels Through North and South Carolina (1792), François Augier de Marigny's The History of the Arabians (London, 1758), and early bee manuals by John Keys, The Practical Bee-Master (London, 1780) and The Antient Bee-Master's Farewell (London, 1796) — both courtesy of Oliver. All remain part of the collections today.
From these beginnings, the collections of rare books and manuscripts have evolved in concert with the evolution of the university and its academic programs. With the acquisition of the records of the Valley Peace Center and the papers of ethnographer Jozef Obrebski in 1973, the Library began to acquire collections of personal papers and organizational records of historical significance, and the arrival of the papers on W.E.B. Du Bois in that same year marked a turning point. The rare book and manuscript collections were combined administratively with the University Archives in the early 1990s to form the current Department of Special Collections and University Archives.
SCUA's initial foray online came with a simple page on the library's website in 1997, but by 2007, evolved into the UMarmot project, one of the earliest efforts to use freely-available software to create a comprehensive online archival catalog. SCUA launched its online digital repository, Credo in 2011, thanks to generous support from the Verizon Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Historic Publications and Records Commission. The papers of W.E.B. Du Bois led SCUA's way into the digital realm, followed by the papers of Horace Mann Bond, and then dozens of of other collections.
Oral history
Sesquicentennial oral history project
Marking the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the University of Massachusetts, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) is conducting an oral history project to capture the many voices and diverse experiences that make up our campus community. The anniversary presents an opportunity to reflect on the real achievements — and real challenges — of public higher education over the past century and a half, and a chance to consider where we would like to be in the future.
Over the course of eighteen months, the staff of SCUA and our associates will conduct one hundred and fifty interviews with an array of administrators, faculty, students, alumni, and university employees, as well as selected members of the local community. As they are completed, the interviews will be made available to the public through this website and Credo, SCUA's digital repository.
If you are interested in participating in the project, please contact the SCUA staff.

Bajgier Family
Bajgier Family Papers, 1925-1986.
Call no.: MS 400
On March 13, 1903, Joseph Michael Bajgier was born in Odrzykon, Poland, the youngest of three sons in a farming family. Schooled only through the third grade, Joseph served as a young man in the First Air Division of the Polish Army before following his older brother in emigrating to the United States in 1927. Settling in Chicopee, Mass., with its large and active Polish community, Bajgier began work as a slaughterer of pigs for a meat processing company, but within a few years, he had saved enough money to purchase a small grocery store in Longmeadow. In about 1935, he returned to Chicopee, purchasing a grocery and deli, Bell Market, that his family ran for 36 years. Bajgier was deeply involved in the local Polish community as a member of the Polish National Alliance, the Holy Name Society of St. Stanislaus Parish, and an organization of Polish veterans in exile (Stowarzyszenie Polskich Kombatantow). He and his wife Martha (Misiaszek) had two sons, Casimir and Edward
The Bajgier collection documents the lives of a Polish family in Chicopee, Mass., from the time of immigration through the 1970s. The core of the collection surrounds the life of Joseph Bajgier, and includes a number of documents and a diary from the time of his emigration in 1927, a fascinating series of letters from relatives in Turaszowka, Poland before and after the Second World War, and several photographs of the family and their business in Chicopee.

Brinley Family
Brinley Family Papers, 1643-1950.
Call no.: MS 161
A prosperous family of merchants and landowners, the Brinleys were well ensconced among the social and political elite of colonial New England. Connected by marriage to other elite families in Rhode Island and Massachusetts — the Auchmutys, Craddocks, and Tyngs among them — the Brinleys were refined, highly educated, public spirited, and most often business-minded. Although many members of the family remained loyal to the British cause during the Revolution, the family retained their high social standing in the years following.
The Brinley collection includes business letters, legal and business records, wills, a fragment of a diary, documents relating to slaves, newspaper clippings, and a small number of paintings and artifacts. A descendent, Nancy Brinley, contributed a quantity of genealogical research notes and photocopies of Brinley family documents from other repositories. Of particular note in the collection is a fine nineteenth century copy of a John Smibert portrait of Deborah Brinley (1719), an elegant silver tray passed through the generations, and is a 1713 list of the library of Francis Brinley, which offers a foreshadowing of the remarkable book collection put together in the later nineteenth century by his descendant George Brinley.

AP reports that a Mickey Mouse lookalike who preached Islamic domination to children on Hamas-affiliated al-Aqsa TV was killed off on the program. (For background read this.)
"Farfur" was killed by an actor posing as an Israeli. Before his demise, the mouse called the Israeli a "terrorist."
"Farfur was martyred while defending his land," said the teen presenter. He was killed "by the killers of children," she added.
Those who follow Palestinian media are relieved to see Farfur yanked off the air. Still, countless Palestinian children have already been poisoned by Farfur's message of hate.

Hi all' Is it true i can feed my tomatoes with non fat powdered milk? if so i was thinking once a week with the milk and once a week with the tomorite..Any thoughts anybody?
Hi nigelw - must say I've not come across this before but would be interested in what others have to say as not only do I have plenty of powdered milk it's also cheaper than tomato feed !!! Would also like to know of dilution rates, if applicable
From what I can find, it's the calcium in the milk that is the main advantage. It's not a complete food.
And to further what Alina says it's used for Blossom end rot as that's a calcium deficiency. Actually most of what I've read says you can use powdered or proper milk, but full fat not non fat. Classed as an environmentally safe fungicide. Well you live and learn!
I have heard of milk being used as a spray for black spot. Has anyone tried it?
How wonderful it will smell when it goes off

BER is related to calcium in that it's a side effect of a plant not being able to distribute calcium within its internal system. There can be tons of calcium available to the plant but the plant can't use it. So milk won't help against BER. So what causes the plant not to be able to distributre calcium? No one knows for sure, but plant stress seems to be a major factor. Strong buffeting winds, temperature extremes and irregular watering are only some of the possible causes.
There is also the puzzling fact that some tomato types - the plum varieties, for example - are more prone to BER than others. No one knows why.
Milk has no value as a tomato fertiliser but it's been claimed over the years that it has anti-fungal properties. The evidence is largely anecdotal, backed by the suggestion that the milk creates a pH level that fungal spores don't like.
Well here's a good case for a Beechgrove trial!
That's really interesting and helpful information Italophile. Thank-you. I'm going to try liquid coffee to deter slugs/snails and so could add the milk for its supposed anti-fungal properties. I'm quite open to trying different ideas as long as the cost is not excessive.
I do agree with quercus_ruber that trials of these anecdotal accounts would be a good idea.
Have tried successfully the milk treatment for black spot on roses, mix skimmed mikj with water 10 water parts to one skimmed milk and spray
I've tried the milk tip on one of my roses today, then used the left over milk water solution to water the tomatoes. How's that for keeping the thread on topic
I want to try the milk spray, but it has to stop raining first! The black spot is bad this year.

|This article concerns a game that is unreleased.
Some details may be speculative, and may turn out to be incorrect.
The Maibatsu Sports Coupé (unofficially named) is a two-door tuner coupé making its debut appearance in Grand Theft Auto V.
The design of the car is clearly based on the North American styling of the 2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse SE, also in part, for the rear, the 2011 Audi TT.
The sides of the car feature the common Japanese geometric styling and the flared front quarter area is where a long, straight body line begins at about half the car's height. The main body line runs parallel to the bottom edge of the side windows of the car. The car features polymer covered B pillars. The car's roof is finished with a black polymer and is outlined by a very smooth curve that runs into the third box section of the body quite smoothly. The lower edge of the rear windscreen is completely curved. At the very top of the car, the roof appears to be finished with a black polymer insert.
The rear face of the car features a sharp curved edge at the top which spans almost the entire width of the car's body. Beneath this, there is a horizontal brake light strip, which is as wide as the license plate. The manufacturer emblem is located centrally, just beneath the strip. Either side of the strip, at the edges of the body there are chrome-backed rear light units. The rear lights feature three straight edges and then a curved edge which makes the unit decrease in height towards the edges of the car's body. The units are split into four main sections, two inset on the chrome area and then two beneath. Below the lights, the central body area is impressed with it's top edge being in line with the lower edge of the rear light units and it's outer edges in line with the rear light's inner edges. License plates are mounted centrally on the impressed area. A sharp line signifies a different facet of the rear bumper. Most of the lower area is covered by a polymer insert with curved outer edges. This area houses twin-rectangle exhaust tips, close to either edge and a central duct. At half the height of the lower bumper insert area there are horizontal lines signifying secondary pieces of the bumper at its base.
The car features a performance Cat-back exhaust system, to improve the engine's response and output.

Concertante Chamber Players performed its first concert as a string chamber orchestra in 1995. Over the years, the ensemble transformed into a flexible sextet, performing in varied combinations and receiving critical acclaim for concerts spanning forty-one states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as Canada, China, and Israel.
On May 5, 2012, Concertante reestablished itself as a string sextet committed to collaboration, education, and innovation. The ensemble aims to share a wide breadth of chamber music with the most diverse audiences.
As collaborators, the members of Concertante work with other musicians, performing artists, and non-performing artists to program repertoire beyond string sextets.
As educators, the members of Concertante seek to involve audiences in concerts, such as through the interactive concert format developed by the ensemble, entitled "How To Listen."
As innovators, the members of Concertante pursue and prioritize commissions, as exemplified by the ensemble's 2009-2010 "One Plus Five" project, which resulted in six new works by contemporary composers.
During the 2014-2015 season, Concertante will perform three programs in its home of New York, NY. On tour, the ensemble has been invited to perform through the Chamber Music Society of Bethlehem, PA; the Chamber Music Society of Utica; Houghton College Artist Series; Vanguard Concerts at the Dayton Art Institute; and Dallas Chamber Music. For more information, see 2014-2015 Season and Purchase Tickets.

Reports of a man sneaking into a Denver home and taking a selfie with the homeowner's cellphone last month was a misunderstanding.
According to a Denver Police Crimestoppers release, a woman reported to police that she believed a man slipped into her home and took a picture of himself with her cell at about 9:20 p.m. on Jan. 29.
The picture was a close-up of the man's face.
Well, that never happened, police now say. The woman had a picture sharing application on her phone and the selfie she found was a picture of another friend's friend, police said Wednesday.

Kiva Treatment Philosophy
The part can never be well unless the whole is well. ~ Plato
The philosophy of Kiva Recovery is to return the addiction sufferer to the naturally intended state of
wholeness by treating all three dynamic energy centers: mind…body…and spirit.
Treatment Groups
To change a mind...is to change a life.
Learning new ways to think about one's life and life experience is the cornerstone of the Kiva program to treat the mind.
Clients attend client therapy groups and share openly, honestly, and safely to release negative feelings about themselves and their condition. Pain shared is pain lessened, ...
Family Programs
Addiction is a family disease.
A time-honored axiom among treatment patients is that "I came for my drinking (or use); I stayed for my thinking." A family will learn something similar: " I came for their drinking (or use); I stayed for
my thinking." Despite the most loving intentions, a family member can unknowingly perpetuate a cycle of substance abuse through co-dependent ...
Yoga & Energy Work
Kiva Recovery draws upon time-honored modalities in chemical dependency treatment. Two of them are the Eastern healing arts of yoga and energy work (chakra healing). It is said, "Move the feet and the mind will follow." By moving
the entire body in new and expressive ways, the mind will follow with new ways of thinking and relating to one's self. Recovering the self—the true self—is ...
For over 3,000 years the Chinese have routinely been using acupuncture to heal disease and illness, including substance
abuse. There are 1.4 billion persons in China. They must know something.
The World Health Organization recognizes the viability of acupuncture in treating over 30 conditions, including addiction.
To breathe is to be spiritual.
The word spirit comes from the Latin word "spiritus," which means "breath." At Kiva you will learn meditation (Don't worry, every
beginner says they can't meditate) through simple breathing techniques that will calm and clear your mind, setting your spirit free, which is vital to relieving the bondage of addiction. You will respire (breathe) to ...
Mindfulness is the intentional, accepting and non-judgmental focus of one's attention on the emotions, thoughts and sensations occurring in the moment. In the moment is a place full of possibilities, where we realize the need for change and where that change can take place.

Prepping Your Kids for a New SiblingMolly Thornberg
Since we unveiled the news to the kids that we are having a new baby, life in our house has changed. While I think we have finally settled on who has to move bedrooms to make room for the new bambino… the anxiety and anticipation of having another sibling is evident.
My daughter who is 8, at first wanted us to have a baby girl. She had asked Santa for a baby sister. At the time we had no intention on having another baby and her request was denied. But little did we know it maybe a reality, if this little baby is a girl. Since thinking through what having a sister would mean, she has since stated she wants to be the only girl and doesn't want any little sister ripping her Barbies' heads off. She is a naturally mommy, and of all the kids will adjust the easiest *crossing my fingers that doesn't change*.
My oldest son (6 years old) is my sweetheart. He is the most loving and kind child. News of ANOTHER baby, taking his place yet AGAIN (he would prefer to be the baby) – has nearly devastated him up until the last month. He has finally turned a corner and now is often found telling our youngest how fun it is to be a big brother. The adjustment of the new baby will be hard, and we will make sure he has the 1 on 1 time he needs to make him feel loved.
The baby is clueless as to what is in his future. He just knows he is the center of the universe and that jumping on my belly is no longer allowed. Me not being able to carry him has been hard, as he's confused. Iza is just 14 months. There will only be 16 months between him and the new babe. We're in for an adventure with 2 this close. Our last 2 were 25 months apart and posed some challenges. 16 months apart, we're buckling our seat belts and praying our way through it.
All that said, pregnancy is 40 weeks and using that time for prepping the children is essential.
How Do You Prep Kids for a New Sibling?
While I don't know what will work for your household, here is what has worked best for ours last go around and things we are working on this time as well.
Big Sister and Big Brother Books
With the 6 year old starting to really read books, these books are what we read during story time. They introduce the role of the big brother and sister as well as introduce the changes that will happen when a new baby is around.
The Beginning of Sex Education
While we aren't prepared to give our kids all the details on sex, pregnancy does bring up several questions that are sex related. Gently moving into the open conversations and providing age appropriate answers is helping build the trust and openness needed for conversations we will have in the coming years.
Include Your Kids in All Things Baby
With our 3rd child we included the kids in the 4-D ultrasound. They were able to see the baby, while a technician explained the parts of their new sibling. The kids talked about the experience for months. We plan on doing this again with our 4th child.
When shopping for the new one, letting the kids help pick out important things, like blankets and bibs help them feel apart of the experience.
We often play name the baby. While my daughter thinks the baby should be named, if it's a girl: Purple Lilly Flower and if it's a boy: Gary (after some character on Sponge Bob) – it's fun for them to talk thru the possibilities and again, make them feel included.
Each night when we tuck them in and pray, the oldest 2 always pray for the baby. It's sweet and sentimental, especially for me who is being kicked constantly by that little thing they are praying for.
Include Your Kids in Your Belly Photos
I wish I could remember to do this more. The kids love this, here is a photo from me, the kiddos and #3 in my belly.
When the Baby Arrives…
When the baby arrives, as we did with our 3rd, we will make sure there is time in the hospital room for JUST OUR FAMILY. No Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts and Uncles. The kids need to meet their sibling and gulp in the newness of their little life friend.
It was so sentimental when our boy and girl met #3. The joy showed on their faces, my daughter cried with happiness. The connection was immediate. (Though I know with #4 – #3 is NOT going to be as excited.)

Democrats advanced a resolution today that would give an Assembly committee subpoena power over Christie administration officials.
The state treasurer has "disrespected" the Assembly Budget Committee, the panel's chairman said, by declining four requests in recent months to testify about a variety of issues. The subpoena power would allow the committee to force the treasurer and other officials to testify.
The subpoena resolution passed the budget committee by a vote of 6 to 4 Wednesday morning. The resolution will take effect if it is approved by the full Assembly.
Budget Committee Chairman Vincent Prieto, D-Hudson, said Treasurer Andrew Sidamon-Eristoff declined invitations to discuss the state's lottery privatization plan, budget revenue problems and superstorm Sandy recovery funding.
"This is an issue that is about branches of government. I think this branch of government needs to know the facts," Prieto said. "We are entitled to hear the information first-hand. We should not be reading about it in the newspaper."
Republicans on the committee, who all voted against the resolution, said administration officials have not hampered the panel's business by not testifying.
"In every one of those instances where you've asked someone to testify and they didn't come, you weren't ignored. You in fact received responses from those individuals," said Assemblyman Anthony Bucco, R-Morris. He said administration officials sent letters explaining why they did not testify in each circumstance. "I don't think anybody was disrespected by anybody from the administration," he said.
Prieto said he did not know when the resolution will be brought before the full Assembly. But it will still be relevant, he said, even though he expects it to come up after next week's budget address by Christie.
The chairman added that, despite bringing the resolution up in an election year and passing it in a party-line vote, it is not motivated by politics.
"This is not a partisan issue," he said. "I'm not about getting a headline."
