Building a Promise and a Future in One Day
by Yvonne LaRose - Apr, 2007
Who said this is the last year that Ms. Foundation will produce Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day? The radio news reader must have made a mistake. There are arguments for not allowing our 9- to 15-year-old youth to go to a real, live, working office for one day each year. And the arguments run the gamut from a mere excuse for missing school, not sufficiently structured to give a real slice of business life, too many risk...
Enough with Education
by Yvonne LaRose - Apr, 2007
There comes a time when you've done as much as is appropriate for gaining an education. Although the inner voice keeps saying you're not yet ready; that you need more education; there's more knowledge required in order to be considered qualified; that you won't be able to get the pay you desire because you don't yet have the credentials. That voice needs to be silenced. It is the inner voice called "Insecurity" (also known as...
Focus Predicts Future
by Yvonne LaRose - Apr, 2007
It was merely another bus stop maintenance crew that tumbled out of the van and collected brooms, trash bags, and shovels to attend to their duties. Except for gender and race, they initially appeared to be a homogeneous group. They worked together well, coordinating efforts in order to maximize outcome for effort. They were teams of workers. Initially, the differences were imperceptible, but the people became classes of wo...
Eyes on the Prize
by Yvonne LaRose - Feb, 2007
Within the last month, Los Angeles has focused on no less than three race-based violence cases that involved minority youth as the perpetrators. As we approached the midpoint of February 2007, the City staged an unprecedented three-day international summit that included City legislators and law enforcement officials studying, discussing, and formulating plans on how to address the issue of gangs that encourage youth to drop ou...
Where Does Money Come From?
by Yvonne LaRose - Feb, 2007
Those of you who are parents (or aunts or uncles) have probably heard the question from a youngster on the order of, "Where do babies come from?" You look around the room, blink a bit, speculate about how far back in the process you should go or whether you should just gloss over the entire thing (a la stork story), and then seize on a direction and follow it. How many youngsters ask, "Where does money come from?" or "H...
Purposeful Communication
by Yvonne LaRose - Jan, 2007
There are times when we want to connect with someone. After observing the seeming success that others seem to have with simply gliding over to their desired contact and simply striking up a conversation about, let's say, the weather (or some other rather innocuous topic) and all participants appear to have a great time, the logical conclusion is that it's perfectly all right to waltz over to people and just strike up a convers...
On the Ready
by Yvonne LaRose - Dec, 2006
Given the fact that we only recently began emerging from the New Millennium Depression, it's surprising how many people I see using employment development centers dressed as though they're going to the park or kicking around on a Saturday afternoon to do housework. This is not the most strategic thing to do for a serious job seeker. The people who are at these centers are active job seekers. They're visiting the center to a...
The L.A. Job Market Is Hot
by Yvonne LaRose - Nov, 2006
It's good that I didn't have time to finish the article I started two days ago. I was going to talk about incubator communities. I was also going to talk about getting into something other than an entry-level job as a sales associate in those communities. The trouble was trying to integrate the two themes and keep the piece under 500 words instead of the length of War and Peace. Maybe that writing didn't come together because...
Appreciating the Landscape - Latin American Barrios
by Yvonne LaRose - Nov, 2006
Was it yesterday or was it today? Probably the former. It was the day that I arrived at the Alvarado and Wilshire bus stop, peered across the street at the congested store front of the 99 Cents Store and determined that I should stop being angry about the nearly impossible to navigate thoroughfare and appreciate the cultural aspect of it. Wilshire and Alvarado is one example of this style of living and commerce, of doing bu...
Two Exercises: Interests and Career Goals
by Yvonne LaRose - Oct, 2006
Some of the CollegeRecruiter.com interns have read the career development exercises for this month on "Interests" but not yet done it. They may be wondering about the relevance. I'll explain. We have interests that drive our enjoyment of our work and keep us motivated; because the interest is keen, we're more likely to do our best work. This results in our becoming invaluable assets to wherever we are dedicating our energ...

I found the installation was simple and easy. Since my lab goes with me everywhere and this is a new car I didn't want to get dog hair and paws right off the git go. Looks good and excellent quality. Only problem is my lab only wants to ride in the passenger seat so now I order a dog seat cover!

Tonight and tomorrow night, downtown Salt Lake's streets will be full of strolling diners, eating their way from restaurant to restaurant during the annual Tastemakers event.
I think we can finally safely say that summer is here. For the next few months, we'll all be soaking up all the sunshine we can, which means restaurants with great patios will be packed. Here's a reminder of the great outdoor eating places.
First, and open just in time for Tastemakers, is Pallet's (237 S. 400 West) new patio, every bit as charming as the rest of this style-setting restaurant. Call 801-935-4431.
Caffe Molise's (55 W. 100 South) patio is almost as large as the restaurant. The pool and pretty shade trees make it a great event location as well as a place to linger Italian-style with a glass of wine. Call 801-364-8833.
Faustina (454 E. 300 South) has just completed a major renovation and expansion of what was already one of Salt Lake's favorite patios. On Tuesday, May 22, they are celebrating with complimentary passed appetizers during dinner service from 4:30 - 9 p.m. Chef Billy Sotelo will be rolling out several new cocktails, wines and summer menu items. Patio reservations will be taken for this one night this year only. Call 801 746 4441.
The patio at Oasis (151 S. 500 East), Faustina's sister restaurant, always, well, an oasis, has developed an even mellower vibe over time, cheerful in the morning, soothing and romantic in the evening. Call 801-322-0404.
Don't overlook the wistaria-draped patio next to Pinon Market & Cafe (2095 E. 1300 South) ; yes, this is mostly a takeout restaurant, but the truth is, you don't need to take it far. Just alongside the deli space is a shady hidden enclave. Call 801) 582-4539.
Caffe Niche (779 East Broadway) has been working on its patio, too, and with Ethan Lappe in sole charge of the kitchen these days, the menu is seeing all kinds of changes, too. Homemade English muffins for breakfast. Small plates, including great house smoked salmon. Take your time and linger outside. Call 801-433-3380.

Illuminating the Fact that with Continued Funding it is Possible to Eliminate
Mother-to-child Transmission of HIV by 2015
Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will be illuminated red to mark World AIDS Day on the evening of Wednesday, December 1st to raise awareness of the commitment of the global health community to work together to virtually eliminate the transmission of HIV from mother to child by 2015.
Cleveland is one of more than 30 cities in the United States that will light their most distinctive landmarks in red, joining New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Miami, Seattle and others. The lightings will highlight the attainable goal of ending mother-to-child transmission of HIV by 2015, creating the first generation of babies born HIV-free in 30 years. Despite the fact that HIV/AIDS is preventable and treatable, UNAIDS statistics published last week estimate 370,000 children are infected with the disease, down from 430,000 in 2008. About 90% of these babies are born in sub-Saharan Africa.
In addition to the landmark lightings, (RED) partners Starbucks and Dell will make special added contributions to the Global Fund from purchases made on and during the week of World AIDS Day. Starbucks will contribute 5 cents/5 p for every handcrafted beverage purchased in participating stores in the U.S., Canada, U.K. and Ireland on December 1; Dell will be doubling their contributions on (PRODUCT)RED™ items in the U.S. and the U.K. for the full week of November 29 - December 3. Converse will also be recognizing World AIDS Day, by turning their newly launched flagship retail stores on Newbury Street in Boston and in SoHo in New York City (RED).
Since its launch in 2006, (RED) partners and events have generated $160 million for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, supporting HIV and AIDS programs in Africa that have reached more than 5 million people with testing, counseling, medication and services. For more information on (RED), please visit www.joinred.com.
WHAT: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to be Illuminated (RED) for World AIDS Day
WHEN: Wednesday, December 1, 2010 at 5:30 p.m. EST
WHERE: 1100 Rock and Roll Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44114

Key tips for Thanksgiving holiday travelers
Thanksgiving Day is here and local airports, seaports and roadways are expected to be busy during the popular holiday period, which runs through Monday for most people.
Sunday is expected to be the busiest travel days at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Miami International airports, while Wednesday was the busiest for Palm Beach International.
MIA's second busiest day will be Monday, airport officials said recently.
Here are some tips to consider if traveling during the holiday period:
Flyers: Airport officials advise those flying out to arrive two hours before a domestic flight and two and a half hours before an international flight to allow sufficient time for parking, check-in and security screening. There's plenty of parking on- and off-site at all three South Florida airports, but arrive early to reduce headaches if leaving a vehicle there. If picking up at one of the airports, use the cellphone waiting lots to avoid a parking fee or even worse, a ticket for parking in an unauthorized spot. Visit fll.net, pbia.org and miami-airport.com for more information.
Road tripsters: For those hitting the roads, gasoline prices are about the same as last year or just a few pennies more. The price for a gallon of regular gas Wednesday averaged $3.47 in Broward County and $3.51 in Palm Beach County, according to the AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report. And in Miami, the average price for regular gas was $3.45 a gallon.
Cruisers: Port Everglades is expecting to see average weekend traffic on Saturday and Sunday with five multi-day cruise ships docked each day, port spokeswoman Ellen Kennedy said. To expedite entry to the port, travelers should have their cruise documents and passport or driver's license in the vehicle ready to present at the security gate and not in their luggage, Kennedy advises. There is also a lot of construction work at the Eller Drive entrance to the port off 1-595, so drivers need to exercise patience, she added. There's also a cell phone lot in the center of the port for people who are picking up arriving guests.

But before we usher in 2012, I need to share a few last swap goodies from 2011. I swore off most traditional swaps a few months ago, because I seem to just spend way too much time on them, but Sukie suckered me in with her Twitter Secret Santa Swap. We weren't required to send a handmade item, but of course when it came down to it, I couldn't resist making something. After all, my partner was the amazing Katy of I'm a Ginger Monkey and Fat Quarterly! Send her a secret santa gift that didn't include something homemade?? As if.
So here's the gift package I sent to Katy (which she finally received yesterday, so now I can show it to you!) Thangles, a Clover marking pen, some hand-dyed perle cotton, and a FQ from Denyse Schmidt's Picnic and Fairgrounds line from Joanne's. (I was thinking those prints may not be available in the U.K.?)
And I made her this mug rug using Badskirt Amy's x-and-plus tutorial and a newspaper-print fabric. I used wavy-line quilting on it because that's one of my favorite quilting tricks, and I learned it from Katy! I hope she enjoys it!
And that's not all—she also sent me this coffee cup cozy, the travel mug that's in it, and she filled the mug up with candy! Whew!
I love the cozy's Half-Moon Modern prints and handstitching. (You can find a Moda Bake Shop tutorial by Amy for this very cozy right here.) And it just so happens that I have another one of these Copco mugs and it is my absolute favorite, so I'm thrilled to have another one. It fits in my Keurig coffee maker (many travel mugs don't) and it's nice and simple, functioning like a basic Starbucks disposable. Except that this one has a reclosable spill-proof lid, which I've never seen on a Copco mug, and I couldn't even find it on Amazon! So yes, I love it—clearly, the fact that I've gone on about a mug for an entire paragraph should indicate that I will treasure it forever, LOL. Thanks, Amy, I love it all!
I also swapped recently with Becky from My Fabric Obsession. I designed a new blog header for her and she sent me these fun goodies in return—a Jane Market Bag in Neptune, and some coordinating FQs! You guys—it's Neptune! I love this collection so much. I bought a layer cake way back when it first came out, but frittered most of it away on some pillows that I didn't even end up liking (this was back when I still didn't really know what I was doing). I used most of the remaining scraps in my Single Girl quilt. So I'm super excited to get a second chance with this hard-to-find collection. Now I just need to decide what I'll do with it! And the bag is so roomy and useful—I've already used it probably a dozen times. I even packed some stuff in it when I went out of town for the holidays. Thank you, Becky!!
My Addiction to Quilting. She sent me this soccer ball entirely hand-pieced from hexies! The girls love it—it's so nice to have a ball they can freely chuck at each other, LOL. Kylie also sent some beautiful purple fabrics, and I seem to be eternally short on purple in my stash, so they are much appreciated. Thank you, Kylie—you are so sweet to send these all the way from Australia!
One of my favorite things about having this blog is how I've been able to send items all over the country and the world, and receive things right back. Australia, the U.K., Europe, Canada–what a wonderful exchange. Here's to more swaps in 2012.

The popular view among religious people is that religion is indispensable to morality in that religion affirms the existence of a God who has revealed a law to direct humans how to live. (1) There are problems with this position, however, from the perspective of philosophy. Religion relies on faith while philosophy relies on reason. The three central beliefs of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam which have a bearing on morality and which are embraced on faith are that 1) There is a God, 2) God is good and not evil, and 3) God has ordained rules for living which humans can learn.

For this week's Throwback Thursday, Giant Step President/CEO Maurice Bernstein takes it back to the Groove Academy first year anniversary at Palladium in 1991. Featuring George Clinton & The P-Funk All Stars, the Brand New Heavies, and Blowfly, it was nothing short of an incredibly memorable night. Were you there? Tell us what you remember!
This was our first anniversary concert for the Groove Academy. Groove Academy was the concert division we set up pre-Giant Step where we presented artists from the funk and soul era. Over the course of our run as Groove Academy, we put on shows with acts like the JB's, Bobby Byrd, and Bootsy Collins, so to have George Clinton & The P-Funk All Stars for our first anniversary was kind of like reaching the motherland – or should I say, Mothership.
We decided to go big and chose the iconic Palladium in New York as our venue, which is now a PC Richards and an NYU dorm. The venue held about 3000 people.
The line up also included Brand New Heavies, who we'd recently done a debut show with a couple months earlier. As a special guest, we had Blowfly. Blowfly is Clarence Reid from Florida who would dress up in a mask and cape and perform X-rated versions of well-known songs. To note, he is also a well-respected writer of tracks for Betty Wright, Sam & Dave, and Gwen McCrae, amongst others.
Blowfly was the opening act. We didn't really have the budget to bring his band out, so we asked the Brand New Heavies if they'd be the backing band; they said "yes," but to be honest they didn't know much about his act. They all had a quick chat pre-show where Blowfly explained he would be doing his version of certain soul classics like Otis Redding's "Sitting on The Dock Of The Bay" and KC & The Sunshine Band's "That's The Way I Like It." I think the only member of the Heavies who actually knew about Blowfly, his unique XXX rated lyrics, and that he was a respected songwriter in his own right was N'Dea Davenport, the singer.
We started off the show, and Blowfly came out with the Brand New Heavies as the backing band. Blowfly started a monologue, which of course was extremely X-rated with talk about people's private parts and all sorts of rude stuff. It was part of his show, but I don't think the Brand New Heavies really understood that. So, as he was talking, telling everyone to go eff themselves and speaking in a misogynistic way about women, the Brand New Heavies were getting more and more embarrassed by being on stage with this guy who they didn't really even know. And as he's talking, the band one by one leave the stage out of embarrassment.

Turf affected: Bluegrass, Ryegrass, and Tall Fescue
Symptoms: Small yellow specks on leaves and stems develop into orange or red pustules. Heavily infected lawns may have an orange or reddish hue, and the lawn may begin to thin out. This "rust" will be visible on shoes and mowers after being on the lawn.
Disease occurrence: April to early June and October to early November
Management: Rust develops during times of drought and lack of fertility. Ensure proper fertilization, disease typically occurs due to lack of nitrogen. Collect and dispose of grass clippings when disease is present and water deeply and less frequently in the early morning.

Are there updates in knee replacement surgery?
Audrey Tsao, MD, is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: I was told that I should have knee replacement surgery. My husband had his knee replaced 10 years ago and I remember the recovery being very difficult for him. Have there been improvements that will allow me to get back to my normal activities I enjoy now more quickly?
Answer: Your orthopedic surgeon would not have recommended knee replacement surgery unless you have a definite need. You imply that you are active now but how active? Do you find yourself limiting your daily activities because of pain or hardship? Are you modifying your daily activities due to limited mobility? If so, knee replacement surgery is an option worth serious consideration. Better joint implants and improved surgical techniques are helping joint replacement patients return to their normal activities more quickly than ever before. In fact, most patients are fully back to their normal level of activity within weeks of their procedure.
There are two types of knee replacements – partial knee replacement and total knee replacement. Partial knee replacement is used primarily on patients who have some healthy joint surface. In partial knee replacement, your surgeon would remove only the part of the knee that is unhealthy, leaving healthy bone untouched. This surgery is less invasive; therefore you probably will have a slightly shorter recovery time.
Total knee replacement involves removing the portions of all three bones of your knee, before resurfacing your leg bones with implants built from plastic and metal. There have been many advances in knee replacement surgery in the past 10 years, which your orthopedic surgeon can explain to you. Smaller incisions, new techniques and new implants now make it easier for an orthopedic surgeon to customize a knee replacement surgery for each patient. For instance, new "gender knees" are built specifically with a woman's physique in mind. Smaller and with a slightly different shape, the gender knees work with a woman's contours to mold to her bone structure. If you are outgoing and enjoy exercise, the gender knee might be just what you need to continue to stay active for a long time after your surgery.
Total knee replacement does require some restrictions immediately following the surgery, as well as rehabilitation for your new joint. Your physician will provide you with all of the follow up information you need to make your surgery as successful, and as painless, as possible.

cyclosporine - intravenous, Sandimmune
GENERIC NAME: CYCLOSPORINE - INTRAVENOUS (sye-klo-SPORE-een)
BRAND NAME(S): Sandimmune
Warning | Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
WARNING: Cyclosporine is a drug that reduces the body's ability to fight illness/disease (an immunosuppressant), leaving patients vulnerable to infection or other problems (including cancers such as lymphoma). Using other drugs that treat organ transplant rejection along with this drug may increase these tendencies.
Cyclosporine can also cause high blood pressure and kidney problems. The risk of both problems increases with higher doses and longer treatment with this drug. Psoriasis patients who have had certain previous treatments (e.g., PUVA, UVB, coal tar, radiation therapy, methotrexate) are at increased risk to develop skin cancer. Therefore, cyclosporine must be given only under close medical supervision.
Because different brands deliver different amounts of medication, do not switch brands of cyclosporine without your doctor's permission and directions.
Laboratory tests (e.g., kidney function tests, blood tests) may be performed to monitor your progress.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration

WIP Wednesday #13
This week was kinda good and kinda bad for me. Good in that I finished my Urban Lattice quilt and mailed it off. First completed quilt of 2011—yay that! Bad in that I've been kind of blah and unmotivated to do much else. Even though I've got like a million deadlines looming. I'm blaming our two-plus feet of snow. It makes me want to hibernate. I know I'll get everything done in the end, but if I put things off any longer, it's not gonna be pretty.
New Projects
Various Swaps and Bee Blocks
None of these are exactly new, but I haven't counted them here yet. For right now, I'm grouping them all together, as one project. Which isn't really cheating, right, since they're all small? : ) Anyway, my projects for Doll Quilt Swap 10, Make Mine Modern, Do Good Stitches, Sew Beautiful, and the 3x6 Bee are all at various stages (although none of them are even close to being done). The photo above is the beginning of my DQS 10 quilt.
Operation: Stash Reorganization
As I work on all these swaps and bee blocks, I've been pulling a lot of fabric from my stash, and I've come to realize how inconvenient my teetering stacks of fabric really are. At the same time, I was seeing all these cute miniature fabric bolts that people are using for stash storage, and was insanely jealous of them. OMG, it's like having your own fabric store, I thought. I must have that! Angela of Cut to Pieces uses comic book boards to make her bolts, so I immediately ordered some from Amazon. I sat in front of the TV folding fabric for a couple of hours last night. So far I've only done my blues and greens—which is what I have the most of, by far—but I am In. Love. With this system. Cannot wait to have it all done and organized.
Ongoing projects:
Don't Call Me Betsy's Sliced Coins Quilt-Along
Sashed and ready to rock on the quilting—if only it had a back. T minus 9 days and counting until this one needs to be mailed to my Margaret's Hope Chest Wrapped in Hope recipient. Gulp.
Fall EquinoxHand-stitching the binding on this one now.
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley
Completed quilts awaiting binding:
Modern Meadow
On hold for now:
Central Park jelly roll quilt
That Girl quilt-along
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
And finally, I just have to throw this in: Look who's got her own little WIP these days. The Whipstitch blog has been running a series on Sewing with Kids, and when I saw the latest project—yarn and plastic canvas—I knew it would be perfect for Miss E. She's expressed a lot of interest in my quilting and sewing recently, and her fine motor skills are pretty advanced for her age, so I've been eager to start teaching her. Sure enough, she loved this project. She kept telling me as she stitched her yarn, "Mommy, I love doing this!" Atta girl, E. : ) Is there anything better than enjoying a favorite pastime with your child?
This week's stats:
New projects - 2
Completed projects - 1
Currently in progress - 12 (Up one from last week. Crud.)

By Alice Kenny
On the eve of Pope Francis' inauguration, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan went live in a special radio broadcast of JustLove taking in listener calls from across the nation as he reflected on what the election of Pope Francis means for Catholics around the world.
"The election of Pope Francis has focused on the vitality of the Church when we focus on the basics of our faith." Msgr. Sullivan said. "There is no better time than Holy Week when we celebrate the center of the Catholic faith: death and resurrection of Jesus. We begin these holy days with the example of Jesus washing the feet of his disciples. "
From New York to Alabama and spots in between, callers, young and old, phoned to register their excitement about Pope Francis and, in particular, his emphasis on serving those in need.
"I'm thrilled that Pope Francis is focused on service to the poor and to outreach to all people," said Steve, a caller from New Jersey.
Catholic Charities Director of Peace and Justice Tom Dobbins, who co-hosted the show, agreed.
"When he came out saying he wants us to be a church of the poor for the poor," Tom said, "wow – as someone who works for Catholic Charities – that was a home run."
Listen to their conversation on JustLove on The Catholic Channel 129, SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio.

The School of Education focuses on building teachers through a student-centered, hands-on approach to learning. This means that all pre-service and in-service opportunities in our program build your experience from day one by getting you in a classroom and responding to your personal needs. From the beginning of your experience at Heidelberg, you are actively involved in your coursework and clinical/field experiences.
Teaching Licenses
- Early Childhood: Pre K - 3
- Middle Childhood: Grades 4-9
- Adolescent to Young Adult (AYA): Grades 7-12
- Intervention Specialist: K-12 Mild/Moderate
- Multi-Age (health and physical education, music): Pre-K - 12
Students build their knowledge about teaching and learning with several tools - theory, practice and reflection. These are the building tools that weave into each of the teacher education licensure programs:
- Theory - principles of teaching and learning
- Practice - clinical and field experience
- Reflection - thinking about, evaluating and revising one's teaching and learning
Getting in the Classroom
Field placements include multiple opportunities for students to gain expertise in real classroom experiences so they can develop teaching skills and styles. All education majors complete numerous field experiences throughout the teacher preparation program. During these experiences students plan and teach lessons under the guidance of a mentor/cooperating teacher in real classroom conditions to develop their knowledge, skills, and dispositions in preparation for student teaching. Heidelberg students will be in a real classroom 7/8 semesters!

On the day of our tour of D-Day monuments and sites in northern France, we traveled by bus to the various beaches in Normandy. We were sitting up front, and I had direct eye contact with our guide, Marie. I noticed how tense she seemed despite being so knowledgeable about the awful period of WWII and the occupation of France by Hitler's forces.
As Marie explained the society of those days, she spoke defensively of the shameful collaboration of some of the French with the Germans. I was not really associating Marie with those times, which seemed so far gone, but it was as if that same society were present and being judged.
"You just don't understand," Marie protested. "You don't know how it was to be occupied. People were just trying to stay alive, to get some food for their families." Her earnest pleas moved me. How could anyone really know what it was like to be French then? What did I know? Who was I to understand? I felt, though, that it was awkward and inappropriate for Marie to be directing such apologies to our busload of tourists.
Except for the Civil War, we have never experienced the ravages of whole-scale, sustained war on our soil. I was so uncomfortable for her discomfort. Had her grandfather been in the war? Marie was defending her countrymen who went along with the Nazi occupiers in order to survive, but she said she was especially ashamed of those who took on Hitler's beliefs and turned in their own neighbors who were Jewish.
I thought the intensity of WWII memories was long forgotten here in France as well as in America in the last generation or two. However, Marie told us that bitter remembrances of those days still live on in the families of the area. People still remember what families turned in their friends and relatives to the Nazis. No ally could liberate their guilt.
These former friends and neighbors were rounded up and sent to concentration camps. The Vichy government itself accommodated Hitler. France was defeated; its leader capitulated. Marie bears the scar of these actions more than half a century later.
Yet 14,000 Frenchmen from Normandy were killed during the invasion of France. British and American bombs, dropped on Normandy to isolate German troops, obliterated homes, whole villages, bridges and roads. These Frenchmen paid a very high price for liberation from Hitler. Homes and infrastructure have long been restored and rebuilt, but the spirits of the people need a lot of time to repair.
So, it wasn't the bunkers or the cliffs on Omaha beach that drove home to me what war was like for the German-occupied French people of Normandy. Rather it was the sore testimony of a daughter of France who uncomfortably testified to her country's dark days of occupation.

Athlete Picks
Hand-picked favorites from our sponsored team of professional athletes.
Redesigned with a sleek silhouette, this new hoodie features ThermoBall™, powered by PrimaLoft®—our new synthetic alternative to down that achieves phenomenal warmth in cold and wet weather. As compressible as down, the clusters of round synthetic ThermoBall™ trap and retain heat within small air pockets to provide effective insulation, even when wet. Wear or pack this ultralight zip-front layer for reliable thermal insulation in a variety of winter conditions.
Developed in partnership with Primaoft, Inc., ThermoBall is a revolution in insulation technology. Unlike traditional continuous-filament synthetic insulation, the small, round PrimaLoft synthetic-fiber clusters closely mimic down clusters, trapping heat within small air pockets to retain warmth. Independent clo testing by Kansas State University has shown that ThermoBall has warmth equivalent to 600 fill goose down. As a result, ThermoBall can offer the lightweight warmth and compressibility of down with the wet-weather insulating performance of synthetic insulation.

Lewis to run for N.C. Supreme Court
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 4:00 p.m.
BRUNSWICK COUNTY77 | Superior Court Judge Ola Lewis announced Friday she will run for the N.C. Supreme Court during the 2014 election season.
Lewis is the senior resident Superior Court judge for Judicial District 13, which covers Brunswick, Bladen and Columbus counties.
Lewis plans to run for the seat currently held by Associate Justice Cheri Beasley, who was appointed by former Gov. Beverly Perdue in December 2012 to replace retired Justice Patricia Timmons-Goodson.
Lewis said of her reason for running that she is "the most qualified for the job," having served 20 years as a judge and public servant.
"I am very excited for the upcoming election cycle," she said.

Presentation of short-films and awards for a Salt Lake-based competition is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 11. A reception will begin at 5:30 in the Leonardo, followed by the awards program beginning at 6:30. Filmmakers were challenged with creating a 5-minute film proposing creative solutions to one of Utah's most vexing problems.
"Poor air quality in our metropolitan region is an obvious and serious public health problem," says Stephen Goldsmith, co-chair of ImagineCleanAir's planning committee. "We have some of the worst air quality in the country. Imagining clean air is an inspiring proposition and one we encourage all students in the area to consider. How we get from our imagining to reality is a shared problem they can help us overcome."
Filmmakers from BYU, University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College submitted entries, working with their department film programs and partnering with other Utah film production agencies and organizations. The goal is to create an unified outlet for the community to begin solving problems together.
Winning filmmakers will be awarded a cash prize, and will be able to meet and discuss their work with leading Hollywood directors. They will also receive a ticket and pass package to the upcoming 2012 Sundance Film Festival, donated by the Sundance Institute. Other organizations also supporting the evening include imaginecleanair.org, the University of Utah, Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, the Lincoln Center in New York, and Utah Moms for Clean Air.
"One of the crises of our time is a crisis of the imagination," says Goldsmith. "Old solutions to our problems are not working. Where better to look than to our youth to help us invent new solutions? There is no time to waste."

When I think of cupcakes, thoughts of beautifully decorated, chocolaty (my fav) treats come to mind. Or If it's near Valentine's Day then of course the word "cupcake" relates to my dear sweet wife (sucking up is always a good thing)
Did you know that cupcakes can mean so much more!
February 25 is National Cupcake Day. The BC SPCA along with their colleagues in other jurisdictions are encouraging us to Bake and sell cupcakes with the proceeds benefiting the SPCA. (more…)

text: The NEW Sage Two-Handed ONE rod places all the remarkable benefits of Konnetic technology in both of your hands. Its lighter weight and decidedly thinner profile are welcome assets over a logn day of fishing, reducing casting fatigue and minimizing wind resistance for tireless casts. Thanks to the shaft's significantly enhanced torsional stability, the rod recovers extremely quickly as it moves through the cast, optimizing load carry and line speed for long, smooth, flawless casts every time. The shaft's decreased lateral movement and vibrations keep you more connected to your line, cast, mends, and swing. And ultimately to fish!

Stac and Royce Wood Jr. got together this past December to put together a live session for Mary Anne Hobbs, exclusively for XFM. According to Stac, the experience was very surreal:
It was crazy. The only day that we could do it all was on Friday 23rd December. STRESS! So much preparation went into it, the OneTaste choir came and sang, The Dans got involved on bass guitar and kit (they play regularly for Jono McCleery and Jamie Woon, they are bad ass), Nick Lee from Amber States hopped on the guitar and Jamie Woon grabbed a mic, as did I. It was all very exciting.
Above, you'll find the video for "Wet," which will be out on February 13th! Enjoy.

ZF-4213: The cookie domain has some problem in Zend_Http_CookieJar
See [http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-4226]
There is a error when check the domain of a cookie, I finally found that exists an error in the comparision way.
Valid domain are:
.zend.com => must catch zend.com and anything.zend.com .www.zend.com => must catch www.zend.com and anything.www.zend.com, this's not works right now.
Invalid domain are:
.com.ar .or com. or .com => the script doesn't check this. zend.com without initial dot.
This is the code that fails:
protected function _matchDomain($domain) {
$ret = array();
foreach (array_keys($this->cookies) as $cdom) {
$regex = "/" . preg_quote($cdom, "/") . "$/i";
if (preg_match($regex, $domain)) $ret[$cdom] = &$this->cookies[$cdom];
return $ret;
Here a faster but not ideal, solution:
protected function _matchDomain($domain) {
$ret = array();
foreach (array_keys($this->cookies) as $cdom) {
$regex = '/\.' . preg_quote($domain, '/') . '$/i';
if (preg_match($regex, $cdom)) $ret[$cdom] = &$this->cookies[$cdom];
return $ret;
This only fix the valid domain issue.
This is somewhat improved after fixing ZF-5221 in rev. 17079 - but we still can't filter out .com or .co.ar domains - that would require quite a lot of work. I am also not sure it's the work of the cookie jar to filter those - maybe if Zend_Http_Client.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game (PlayStation 3) review
"The plot begins by ambitiously introducing two new central charactersa strange young woman and a rookie member of the ghostbusters teambut after that it almost immediately turns into a retread of familiar adventures. Many of the same faces and places make new appearances, to the point that although the story is technically all-new (and penned by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, who drafted the original), it often feels like a rerun. This time, though, someone stripped out most of the good parts. There's nowhere near enough of the memorable dialog that made the film so good and even the most interesting bits wear out their welcome because you're playing the thing, not watching it."

This is a condensed version of this thread http://www.gunco.net/forums/f300/mauser-project-68868/ I'm leaving that one open for discussion of this thread.
All the Mauser talk here lately motivated Me to dig out a project that got side tracked a couple of years ago. This is my 3rd Mauser project which in no way makes me an expert on the subject, but I have picked up a few things along the way.
I had already blueprinted the receiver before the project got shelved. It's a 1937 Czechoslovakian VZ-24 (large ring Mauser)

The Gala has grown so big the Athletic Department had to move it out of the Satellite Student Union that hosted it for the first six seasons and into the Save Mart Center to make room for not only the 450 student-athletes, but the coaches, staff, BDF members, boosters and guests of the department.
The evening recognized all student-athletes for their academic achievements, athletic accomplishments and community service involvement over the past year.
Headlining the award winners were Derek Carr from football and Meagan McKee from track and field who were named the "Bulldogs of the Year." Carr became the first two-time winner of the award, repeating in consecutive years, while McKee won for the first time after being a finalist last year.
The evening started off with a Red Carpet entrance for the student-athletes before being served dinner. While the student-athletes were eating, the coaches, staff BDF members, boosters and guest were treated to an art auction put on by former Fresno Bee artist Perry Huffman, who donated his Bulldog athletic artwork to the department so that all proceeds would benefit the student-athlete scholarship fund.
"Night of Champions" hosts - Lars Bramer and Jamal Ellis from football along with Kara Concheck from Lacrosse and Marissa Brand from volleyball - kicked the evening off with an opening act followed by the 2013-14 season highlight video.
Before announcing the first award the hosts recognized all student-athletes for winning the Mountain West SAAC Community Service Trophy for the second-straight season. Fresno State tallied nearly 4,000 hours of community service between the months of September and February - the most of any school in the MW.
The first award of the evening, the Director of Athletics' Team Award for community service, went to the Bulldog lacrosse team who put in more than 1,000 hours of service to the San Joaquin Valley.
The next honor presented was the 2014 George Ilg Newcomer of the Year Award that went to Ariana Holmes of women's soccer and Paul Watson of men's basketball.
After recognizing the 190 student-athletes who were selected to the academic all-conference team and the 146 members of the dean's list for hiving a 3.5 GPA or higher, the hosts turned the podium over to Sean Alston from football who told the story of his career-ending injury and how he was able to turn it into a positive ending, not just for him but the team as well. Watch Alston's speech here.
Alston was then honored with the Paul Schechter Courage Award that is presented annually to two outstanding student-athletes who have overcome a physical challenge to become a champion. Alex Furr from women's basketball was the second recipient of the award, as she overcame two different knee injuries to return to the court and become a starter for the Bulldogs who made their seventh-straight NCAA Tournament this season.
Jessica Gaubatz and Jared Webb were both presented with the Dr. Thomas Thaxter Memorial Scholarship that is given to the outstanding senior athletic training student who shows excellence in both academic and clinical work.
The next honors went to the conference team champions during the past year (football, women's basketball and women's tennis).
Student-athletes were then recognized as Individual Fresno State conference champions: Guðrún Brá Björgvinsdóttir (women's golf), Meagan McKee (hammer throw), Breeauna Thompson (400-meter dash) and the men's 4x100 meter relay team of Brennen Davis, Cameron Parker, Devante O'Connor and Christopher Brusenback.
16 NCAA individual participants and three NCAA team participants were also honored along with 53 student-athletes who earned all-conference honors and seven Bulldogs who were named All-Americans.
Brooke Ortiz from softball was then the second student-athlete to give a speech on perseverance. Watch her speech here.
The year, the seventh in a row for the SAAC Spirit Award, was presented to Marcy Levatino from the lacrosse team and Michael Jamieson from the track & field team.
The Harold Haak Memorable Moment Award recognized the best singular highlights or performances of the year, which honored Taylor Thompson's game winning shot against Utah State and the football team's victory in the Mountain West championship game.
Fresno State closed the evening by honoring its senior class and presenting them with a Fresno State Athletics sash for the upcoming Commencement Ceremony on May 17.

"A Shot in the Arm for Information and News Addicts"
Both in the real world and on audible.com, there are precious few programs that deliver information and news in as sophisticated and no-nonsense a format as "The World". "The World" reminds me of CNN or CBS when it was the news and reporting that mattered. Through a cooperative agreement with the BBC, "The World" brings in the experiences of reporters around the world. There are some "stories" (pretty good ones) but mostly hard reporting. "The World" stands in stark relief from the "shock and awe" of today's TV news. Kudos to Lisa Mullins and the rest of the whole wide "The World."

How can I find the distance traveled by a Bezier curve?
For example, the distance traveled by a Linear Bezier Curve is:
distance = sqrt(pow(x[1] - x[0], 2) + pow(y[1] - y[0], 2));
But what about Quadratic, Cubic or really Nth-Degree Bezier Curves?
I want to estimate a sampling resolution beforehand, so I don't have to waste time checking if the next point is touching the previous point.

WIP Wednesday #15
Ongoing projects:
I paper-pieced another little section for my DQS swap quilt. I think it turned out cute—too bad I have no idea what to do with it. I wanted it to piece it onto the other curved section I made (seen here), but I quickly discovered that wasn't going to work. It was just WAY too bulky where all of those seams came together. So now I need to rethink my entire plan for this quilt. Which is fine, since that plan was pretty half-baked in the first place. I guess this is what happens when you don't sketch anything out first. It goes sketch, then sew, Lee. So my next step is to sit down with my sketch book and the pieces I've already made, and see what I come up with. Stay tuned.
Operation Stash Reorganization
Getting there. Slowly but surely. Having completely underestimated the sheer volume of my stash, I used up all of my comic book boards and then had to wait for more to arrive. Yeesh, I have a lot of fabric. There is no reason for me to buy any more fabric in the near future. Possibly ever. But that's the problem: I have never needed reasons to buy fabric. So I need to start coming up with stash projects. Fortunately, I have at least two in mind that hopefully you will see here very soon.
Completed tops awaiting quilting:
Hope Valley (Hey, want to make this quilt? I'm going to have a quilt-along announcement in the next few weeks!)
Completed quilts awaiting binding:
Modern Meadow
On hold for now:
Central Park jelly roll quilt
Figgy Pudding quilt
Wonky Log Cabin
This week's stats:
New projects - 0
Completed projects - 1 (my Sliced Coins quilt)
Currently in progress - 10 (down one from last week)
So how about it? What are you working on this week? Just link up a post with one or more works-in-progress. Don't forget to link back here to my blog and to comment on some of the other links. Let's whip those WIPs into shape!

Love your Sliced Coins! My MIL's 80th birthday is coming up in April and I bought some fabrics to make her a quilt. This might be a competitor when I decide on a pattern!

Yes, please, I do want to make your Hope Valley quilt - how much fabric do I need?? I love your little curved piece...maybe you can turn it into something else at some point? And I totally know what you mean about underestimating your stash. I had to go back to the comic book place three times to get enough of those boards for my stash. I can't wait to see yours when it's all done! :)

Your DQS work looks awesome! Those curved little pieces are adorable, you always have great ideas so I'm sure you'll come up with something amazing!

This is a fun idea...a good way to keep your projects in check. But I won't be participating right yet. :D Anyway, I LOVE the DQS progress!!! I absolutely cannot wait to see it all together!

113 UMass Student-Athletes Named To Atlantic 10 Spring Commissioner's Honor Roll
July 12, 2012
Spring 2012 Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll
A total of 113 UMass student-athletes earned Atlantic 10 Commissioner Spring Honor Roll accolades as announced by the league office. A record total of 1,369 student-athletes in the league posted 3.5 GPA's or better which is the most in Bernadette McGlade's tenure as league commissioner.
Nathan Abraham Men's Track & Field Fr. East Hampton, Conn. East Hampton High School Engineering
The 1,369 honorees is the highest number of student-athletes to achieve the distinction since prior to 2007, making it the most during Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade's tenure. It eclipsed the previous record of 1,359 set during the Fall 2011 semester. It marks the third straight semester, the total number of honorees has surpassed 1,300 and topped the previous semester.
"Academic success is one of the hallmarks of our Conference, stated Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade. Our number of honorees continues to rise each semester, proving that our student-athletes, already incredibly successful in the classroom, continually strive for improvements. I commend them on their hard work, dedication and achievements."
To be listed on the Commissioner's Honor Roll, a student-athlete in an Atlantic 10-sponsored sport must have a 3.5 GPA or better (on a 4.0 scale) during the specified semester. Freshmen are eligible to receive the award.
Out of the 241 total teams in 21 A-10 sponsored sports, 232 of them had at least one student-athlete named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll. Seven of the fourteen member institutions (Charlotte, Dayton, Duquesne, George Washington, Richmond, Saint Joseph's, Saint Louis) had all of their A-10 sponsored sports represented in their honor roll list.
Additionally, this year's honorees represent a balance in academic year. There were 368 honor roll members in the most recent freshman class, 346 sophomores, 290 juniors and 349 in the senior class (including fifth-year seniors). There were also 17 graduate student-athletes represented on the list.
