For the past 10 years, the center has hosted the annual Red, White and Snow, a three-day, wine and culinary event that raised funds for its various projects.
This year, Red, White and Snow will begin on Thursday, March 6, with wine seminars held at the Stein Eriksen Lodge, and wrap with an after gala party celebration at the Vista Lounge at the Montage Deer Valley. (See story titled "The 2014 Red, White and Snow schedule").
Looking back on the past decade, Gail Loveland, National Ability Center Executive Director, said she is happy to see the growth in both the center and the fundraiser.
"Red, White and Snow has certainly become a signature event for the community, and we're proud that it supports such an important part of our mission," Loveland said during an interview with The Park Record. "So what's vital to us is that this is not just a truly fun event, but it has provided us with necessary funding we need to deliver the programs that we're known for nationally and internationally."
One program that the center has developed thanks to the fundraiser involves working with injured veterans.
"The need for support for our veterans and working with Wounded Warriors has been significant for us," Loveland said.
The other program provides camps for families of individuals who have been diagnosed with autism.
"This support has been essential in helping us add more camps to our overall schedule," Loveland said. "We used to only hold camps in the summer, and now we offer year-round camps, which offer respite for those families and also provides socialization and physical activities for the individuals."
Another benefit from the Red, White and Snow fundraiser is the National Ability Center's training and education department.
"We've always trained on the side, but we have been able to create a whole department that provides international training and resources for programs around the world and country," Loveland said. "We have been able to help them find ways to deliver their own adaptive programs."
This year is also special because it's an Olympic year.
"The Paralympic Sochi Games happen to start a day after Red, White and Snow opens, and we have 18 athletes, 10 from the United States, who are associated with the National Ability Center that will compete in Sochi," Loveland said.
To celebrate, athletes who are looking forward to the 2018 Olympic Winter Games, will make appearances at the different Red, White and Snow gatherings.
"We want to make sure that people who come these events also interact within them," Loveland said.
One way is to take a tour of the center's ranch at Quinn's Junction.
"We offer tours year around, but certainly during the Red, White and Snow," she said. "We want folks to talk with individuals about what we do.
"One of the hardest things we come up against as an organization is that many families who need our services don't know we exist," Loveland said. "We want to use this as a catalyst for people to talk with us."
This year's honorary chef is Bill White of Bill White Enterprises, and the Honorary Vintner is Joseph Phelps Vineyard, Loveland announced.
They have helped make the Vintner Dinners, which will be held in private homes on Friday, March 7, an amazing experience, Loveland said.
"They have been involved in Red, White and Snow for a long time, and have a passion for our mission and to share it," she said. "They are the top of their industry who connects with our mission and want to give back. They both give selflessly and we're thankful for their involvement, so it's great to celebrate those how have been through it all with us."
White was honored, and said from the get-go, that he wanted to raise awareness, not just about the food, the wine and the celebratory spirit of the evening, but for those the National Ability Center helps.
"What we've done over the years with the National Ability Center in this particular event was to push the boundaries, so to speak, in how the vintner dinners were done," White said. "A person donates their home and partners with a chef and wine provider to hosts these dinners.
"We didn't just want to come in and cook the dinners, but [wanted to] up the ante by redecorating the house and providing an extensive menu that you couldn't get in any of our restaurants," he said. "It's a one-off menu that is custom designed and we go get special dishes and wine glasses and make this a big, once-a-year event."
Joseph Phelps Vineyard winemaker Ashley Hepworth concurred.
"It's really all about the National Ability Center and anything we can do as vintners to make this event more successful each year is something we want to do," she said. "Joe Phelps in general has always been a supporter in charities and when we were approached by the National Ability Center, it was a no-brainer. It's an amazing organization that helps individuals build empowerment."
The highlight of Red, White and Snow is the Saturday night Gala and Auction at the Montage Deer Valley.
Live auction items will be available at the Gala, but the center will also feature silent auction items at the other gatherings during the event.
Some of the live auction items include a City and Ski package from the Montage, one-of-a-kind packages from vintners and winemakers, a trip to the Country Music Awards, a Vail Resorts packages, a seaplane excursion to Lake Powell and a painting by artist Thomas Arvid.
Comedian Bill Engvall will emcee the night.
"Bill is hilarious," Loveland said. "This is the third year he is doing this and he's the first to raise his paddle to support us."

I got started crafting at a young age when my paternal grandmother taught me how to make my own doll clothes by hand sewing them from scraps left over from her quilting. I remember my grandmother and my great aunt getting together with neighbors to quilt many quilts. I loved the feeling of being a part of them as they quilted and enjoyed each other's company. Later I learned to knit at a 4-H camp which sparked my interest in crocheting.

Lon Mabon is on a mission from God
He's Back
by Patty Wentz
Willamette Week
Even with a spiffy new look and a toned-down rant, the head of the struggling Oregon Citizens Alliance still scares the bejeezus out of gays, women and fellow Republicans. And now the Christian Coalition wants in on the fun.
February 11, 1998
If the state held a popularity contest, Lon Mabon would lose. Polls suggest that 80 percent of Oregonians who know who he is would rather have a prison site in their back yard than have dinner with the director of the Oregon Citizens Alliance.
Mabon has hatched some of the most hostile ballot measures in recent Oregon history. For 10 years his small band of dedicated, fundamentalist Christian volunteers has helped him place three anti-gay initiatives and one anti-abortion initiative on the ballot. Mabon's efforts have unified his opponents, from gay and lesbian activists to liberals to moderate Republicans. Two years ago, the OCA dropped out of sight, and pundits gleefully chiseled out Mabon's political epitaph.
Now he's back.
Mabon has recycled a failed anti-abortion measure and whipped up another convoluted heterocentric manifesto. Having formed a new, tenuous alliance with the Christian Coalition, Mabon and company are out in our malls and churches quietly gathering signatures at a pace that will probably put their measures on the ballot.
Whether Lon Mabon succeeds or not, his return has several implications for Oregon. It forces his opponents to rally once again to fight him (sidebar: "A Clear and Present Danger,"). It also throws the Republican party a curve in a big election year. With Bill Sizemore vying for governor, and moderates like John Lim and Jack Roberts facing tough races, the GOP is hardly interested in reminding voters of its historic connection to the OCA. Perhaps most important, the OCA's relationship with the Christian Coalition could revive Mabon's ailing organization and dramatically change the state's political landscape as we head into the next century.
At 50, Mabon sports a sandy-colored beard that softens his face, and he speaks with a new, conciliatory tone. But he's the same extreme, unyielding, stubborn right-wing radical.
His anti-abortion initiative, for example, is an exact replica of the 1996 measure that failed to qualify for the ballot. It would prohibit abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy -- unless the mother's life were at risk. It would make no exceptions for her health, nor in cases of rape or incest. If passed, it would give Oregon the most restrictive law in the country. It is, however, largely a symbolic gesture, since it flies in the face of Supreme Court protections for abortion.
That doesn't bother Mabon. He wants to challenge that ruling. He also acknowledges that voters would be more likely to support an abortion restriction if it were limited to the last trimester, but says his beliefs wouldn't let him settle for that. "I think I can get this passed," he says. "If I have an 80 percent chance of passing [a measure] in the third trimester and a 50 percent chance in the second, I'm still going to take that chance, to save more lives. This is our Schindler's list."
Mabon's unwillingness to compromise boosts the chances that Oregon will remain a pro-choice state, says Lisa Horowitz, executive director of Oregon NARAL. :The measure is so extreme," she says. "Even opponents of abortion will say this measure goes too far."
Extreme as it seems, Mabon's abortion initiative is mild compared with the fire-breathing initiative he calls the Family Act.
At first blush, it seems the Family Act would only amend the constitution to ban same-sex marriage. The GOP-controlled Oregon state Senate tried to do the same thing statutorily with the Defense of Marriage Act last legislative session until the House killed the bill. Since Congress passed legislation allowing states to ban gay marriage in 1996, 27 states have passed legislation similar to DOMA, most recently Washington. But no state has so amended its constitution.
The Family Act, however, goes beyond banning gay marriages. It would:
That sounds extreme, but it gets worse. The measure would also:
This last provision is clearly aimed at lesbians who use artificial insemination to get pregnant. "This guy is saying, we don't want you to have any health benefits, we don't want you to have kids, we don't want you to adopt kids," says Jean Harris of Basic Rights Oregon.
"This is Lon Mabon in full plumage," says Charles Hinkle, a Portland lawyer who has long represented the interests of gay-rights organizations.
Mabon says it's no accident that the measure's provision about sperm donors would affect even heterosexual married women. "Procreation is something that is important," he says. "And family relationships are important. And to dissolve that by the practice of artificial insemination and so forth cannot be done.
Despite the extreme nature of the measures, Mabon is well ahead of where he was on the failed 1996 effort. The anti-abortion effort has more than 51,000 signatures. He started circulating the Family Act five months later, and now has more than 31,500 signatures. Both require 97,681 signatures to be filed by July 2. The secretary of state's office recommends that petitioners turn in at least 117,000 to cover invalid signatures. That Mabon will get his two measures on the ballot seems likely. That he will succeed on election day seems less so.
Mabon figures he'll need at least $500,000 to run a successful campaign this year. "With the right amount of money, enough to run about a two-week media blitz, I think we won't fail," he says. "No matter how much they spend. I know it's out there. It just really depends on if enough people are willing to make it happen."
That's a problem for Mabon and the OCA. What was once a somewhat robust political concern with strong ties to the Republican Party has become limp.
Mabon estimates that about 28 of the 132 Republican Party state delegates are OCA faithful. He knows that's fewer than there were in the OCA's glory days, but isn't sure by how many. The group's strongholds remain in the rural areas: Klamath, Clatsop, Jackson, Douglas, Yamhill and Clackamas counties.
[The year] 1996 may have been the low point for Mabon. For the first time in a decade, the OCA failed to get any initiatives on the ballot. That same year, Gordon Smith rebuffed the group in an effort to seem moderate in his U.S. Senate campaign. Mabon retaliated and ran against Smith in the primary, but took only 8 percent of the vote.
Meanwhile, a number of Mabon's former allies, like gubernatorial candidate Al Mobley and state Sen. Marylin Shannon, turned away from him because of what they described as his megalomania. Trusted OCA employees John Leon and Mike Wiley deserted him and went public, echoing Shannon's charges.
The OCA's membership dropped to 2,500 households, down from its all-time high of about 3,400 in 1992.
Today, Mabon and his wife, Bonnie, and longtime loyalist Phillip Ramsdale are the only full-time staff members at his office in rural Brooks, south of Wilsonville. There are four part-time employees and five for six volunteers. Mabon says the OCA entered the 1998 election cycle at least $22,000 in debt. (Reports from the state elections office for 1992 and 1994 show that Mabon runs his operation with a lot of small donations -- most $100 or less.)
Over the years, opponents have outed OCA donors. Even people who supported Mabon in the past report that they are reluctant to expose themselves for fear of retaliation.
All of which might suggest that Mabon will be at most a minor irritant to many Oregonians, a nagging reminder of the moral intransigence that still circulates on the edges of Oregon politics. But Mabon is not a complete fool. He has Lou Beres up his sleeve.
In summer of 1996, Mabon contacted Beres, who was then vice president of the Oregon Christian Coalition board of directors, and asked if Beres would be interested in working with him on the abortion initiative this year.
Beres says Mabon told him he needed someone to handle the anti-abortion campaign in metropolitan Portland. More than that, Mabon needs the Christian Coalition to spiff up his image.
The Christian Coalition was founded by televangelist, media mogul and former presidential candidate Pat Robertson Like the OCA, it's working for a theocracy based on evangelical Christian principals.
During the 1996 presidential, campaign, the coalition, then headed by the politically savvy Ralph Reed, forced GOP presidential candidate Bob Dole to alter his plans to reach out to pro-choice convention delegates. The new national director of the Christian Coalition is former Oregonian Don Hodel, who was state chair of the Republican Party in 1966.
The Christian Coalition has been slow to build in Oregon. It started here in 1992. At the time, Mabon was leading the spiritual battle in the state and was named as its leader.
That changed after Ralph Reed paid a visit and was put off by Mabon's negative reputation. Since then, the two groups have worked independently. Today, the coalition says it has about 27,000 members in Oregon -- more than 10 times the number counted by the OCA -- and a mailing list of 118,000. Those numbers may be deceiving, however, as they include everyone who has ever donated.
That corps of Christian soldiers seems perfectly suited to waging a war via the Oregon ballot. The problem is that, nationally, the CC has steered clear of initiatives and focused on legislative battles.
But if there's a place to change that approach, Beres says, it's Oregon -- a state that embraces the initiative. Beres has been executive director of Oregon's Christian Coalition since 1997. Beres, 61, says he has been actively involved in the Republican Party for years and has served as the Multnomah County Chairman. His election wasn't universally cheered by the members of the Christian Right.
Where the national group is attempting to shed its extremist image and move into the mainstream, Beres has a reputation for digging in his heels. Beres admits that there are people within the religious right who think he's too extreme. He's been compared to Mabon as someone who can't accept the slow and incremental approach to politics that many on the religious right now think is necessary for success.
At a CC leader's conference he's attending this week in Washington, D.C., Beres hopes to get some money for the OCA's anti-abortion campaign from the deep pockets of the national CC.
Beres is well aware of how voters perceive the OCA, and he is careful to point out that any financial support the CC gives the initiatives will be independent of the OCA. The CC will run its own advertising, mass mailings and phone banks focusing on the abortion act, he says. "We're not stepping back from the Family Act, but [restricting abortions] is our No. 1 priority."
Mabon's negative image, Beres says, is outweighed by the fact that he has the experience and the infrastructure in place to run an initiative campaign -- something the Christian Coalition isn't ready to take on yet. "I just hope they don't throw out the message because of the messenger," he says. "No one else stepped up to do it. Lon is the only one who put one out."
Some say the Christian Coalition needs the OCA as much as Mabon needs the Christian Coalition. Linda Kintz, author of Between Jesus and the Market: The Emotions that Matter to the Religious Right, has been studying the religious right for several years. Despite its softer image, Kintz says, the Christian Coalition has an identical agenda to the OCA and has benefitted from Mabon's groundwork in Oregon.
"The Christian Coalition is gaining power as Mabon diminishes," says Kintz, a University of Oregon English professor who has attended Christian Coalition events, "I've heard at workshops that it's easier for the coalition to come into Oregon because Mabon seemed extreme by comparison. In other states, the Christian Coalition would get attacked immediately, but here ... they have gained space because they are seen as more moderate."
At this point, it looks as if the Christian Coalition and the OCA are on their own for this election cycle. Both Oregon Right to Life and the Catholic Church, two of the state's leading anti-abortion forces, are staying quiet on the initiative.
Even if Mabon fails at the polls, his potential alliance with the Christian Coalition is bad news for the state's Republican Party, which has been riven in years past by the divisions between its moderate and conservative wings.
"If I were advising Lou Beres I would tell him they don't need the OCA. It will be a millstone around their neck," says political strategist Dan Lavey, who helped Gordon Smith distance himself from the OCA after faltering in his first attempt to win a U.S. Senate seat. "Any time an issue comes along that concerns social conservatives, the OCA grabs that issue, and the others flee. I still don't think a credible voice for cultural or social conservatives exists in Oregon at the political level. Until the OCA disappears, you won't see that."
Mabon's problem, according to Lavey, is his inability to build relationships within the party. "Most people in the party don't know Lon Mabon's problem, according to Lavey, is his inability to build relationships within the party. "Most people in the party don't know Lon Mabon -- they know of him. He doesn't involve himself in party matters unless he's trying to push someone out, or himself in."
Not all Republicans, however, are turning their backs on the OCA.
"I don't think Mabon's a nonissue," says Perry Atkinson, vice chairman of the state Republican Party and a candidate in the 2nd Congressional District seat being vacated by Bob Smith. "I think he's using the initiative to re-create his base of influence, and the two issues could be achieved across the board, in spite of the animosity people may feel."
It's clear that even without Mabon, the religious right continues to maintain a stronghold on the Republican Party. In January 1997, Atkinson lost the chairmanship of the party by just one vote to Deanna Smith. Atkinson had the backing of the religious conservatives, Smith the more moderate Republicans.
Mabon critics within the party say he still holds influence. State Rep. Chuck Carpenter, a moderate Washington County Republican, says the religious right was in the middle of the back-room battles of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in the state Senate last year.
With key votes from Republicans like Carpenter, the House passed ENDA, which would have prohibited employer discrimination based on sexual orientation. The legislation stalled in the Senate, however, never reaching a vote. Carpenter blames the religious right, in particular the OCA, which he says is still more politically savvy than the Christian Coalition. "They very quietly, behind closed doors, had a significant influence on moderate Republicans who ended up being spineless," he says.
Perhaps the man with the most to lose if Mabon succeeds in getting his measures on the ballot is GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill Sizemore. A party outsider, Sizemore has managed so far to avoid the debates about social issues, instead sticking to issues of taxation and government growth.
Sizemore makes no bones about the fact that he's pro-life, but he claims he's ambivalent toward Mabon's initiatives. "It doesn't concern me one way or another," Sizemore says. "I don't believe that social issues are major issues in a governor's race. The authority for deciding abortion rests entirely with the Supreme Court."
That won't hold up during the next nine months. Eventually Sizemore will have to choose whether to embrace Mabon's measures and alienate moderate GOP voters or distance himself from the OCA and risk losing the support of the Christian Coalition crowd, including dozens of Republican Party officials.
Conventional wisdom, based on Gordon Smith's experience, is that Sizemore will need to publicly reject Mabon.
Mabon has controlled the social debate in Oregon during the past 10 years, but the next 10 months will determine his place in Oregon history. If he is successful in getting his initiatives on the ballot and can reposition himself with the help of the Christian Coalition; regardless of whether he wins at the polls, he'll have momentum enough to springboard into the year 2000 and another election. If he isn't successful, the Republicans who have been dancing on his grave will be right. In the past, Mabon has relished his role as an outsider. "We're the 82nd Airborne of the pro-family movement," he says. "We drop behind the enemy lines. We take the most casualties. We take the most hits.... If you are willing to compromise, you lessen your convictions."
It is easy to pigeonhole Mabon as a hate-mongering, power-hungry, homophobic woman-hater. But Mabon sees himself as more like the biblical Queen Esther, who hid her own Jewishness and, through manipulation of the government, saved the Jews from wholesale slaughter in the kingdom of Persia.
"God, and God's people, represented by Esther, were involved in the governmental process. She was the queen," Mabon says, "she was involved in government. And God was involved."
There is a certain irony in Mabon's equating himself with a queen, but his choice of role model is revealing. Queen Esther's mission was to save the Jews, where Mabon's crusade has been to stop what he sees as the decline of the family. "I believe that civil law is the basis to enforce God's standards," he says. "I believe that civil law is God's mechanism to handle human relationships in a community setting, but it should be based on right and wrong."
There is another interpretation of the Book of Esther that is popular with the Christian Coalition. In this version, Esther is not a warrior who demanded justice, but rather a diplomat who worked within the confines of her government.
Ultimately, Mabon's revival depends on how closely he reads his Bible.
History of OCA Initiatives
A Clear and Present Danger
|Jean Harris of Basic Rights Oregon is taking Lon Mabon seriously. Basic Rights is one of several groups that have fought -- and won -- against Mabon in the past. These days, Harris spends at Least 50 percent of her time fund raising. She says most people don't even know Mabon is back, so she has to educate them, then ask them for money. People are tired of fighting Mabon, she says, and may be tempted to ignore him this time. But, she adds, those who put their heads in the sand are "fooling themselves." Harris recently visited Los Angeles, where record producer David Geffen, who contributed $80,000 in 1994 for the campaign against Measure 13, gave her $5,000 and a promise of more money if the initiative makes it to the ballot. She is flying to San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and New York soon to meet with other potential donors. She figures she needs $2.5 million to win the campaign and adds that she must go outside the state if she is to raise that kind of money. In the past 10 years, a fund-raising machine fueled by the fight against the OCA has raised about $5 million. "You know, Lon, you helped create Basic Rights Oregon," says Harris. "Thanks a Lot."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida nurses are calling for legislation to set minimum hospital staffing ratios and give them whistle-blower protection.
Dozens of registered nurses marched and held a rally Wednesday near the Florida Capitol to support the introduction of what they call a a patient protection bill.
It would set nurse-to-patient ratios for various types of hospital care. The nurses say research shows improving those ratios can save lives and cost less costly than many other safety procedures.
The measure would also offer job protection for nurses who refuse certain assignments or file complaints against a hospital or clinic. The rally was sponsored by the National Nurses Organizing Committee, an association and union.

An unusual plant, Euphorbia myrsinitesresembles a cluster of elongated silvery-green fir cones, with pale silvery green scale-like leaves overlapping all the way along the prostrate stems. In early summer these have typical flat heads of yellow euphorbia flowers at the ends. Drought tolerant, it's a good plant to grow in a rock garden or in a hollow topped wall, but also thrives in any hot dry sunny situation where drainage is good and the soil does not stay wet in winter.
Grow Euphorbia myrsinites at the front of borders, in a gravel garden or bank. Its striking shape and texture make it a good winter patio plant. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

The Alternating Series Test
The first tool in our arsenal of convergence tests is for alternating series, which is a series whose terms alternate in sign. This is for a Pandora's box full of American and Swiss grilled cheese sandwiches. The alternating series test can tell us if it's safe to open that box.
Sample Problem
The series
1 – 2 + 3 – 4 + 5 – 6 + ...
is an alternating series because the signs of the terms switch back and forth between positive and negative.
We can find a formula for the terms of an alternating series the same way we can find a formula for the terms of an alternating sequence.
Since the terms alternated sign the partial sums went up, then down, then up, like jumping back and forth over a line. Since the terms approached zero, the partial sums got closer and closer together, and closer and closer to whatever line they were jumping over.
Line jumping is the idea behind our first convergence test, the alternating series test. Since the terms of an alternating series change sign, the partial sums for any alternating series will jump back and forth over some line. If the terms are getting smaller and approaching zero, the partial sums will get closer to the line and so the series will converge.
Alternating Series Test (AST): If Σ an is an alternating series, and if
|an| > |an + 1|
for all n (that is, the terms have strictly decreasing magnitude), and if
then the series converges.
The catch: We can't use the AST to conclude a series diverges. We can only use the AST to conclude that a series converges. If the AST doesn't tell us that the series converges, we need to use another test, which might include the divergence test.
Sample Problem
Can we use the AST to conclude that the series
We have an alternating series. For all n, we have
so the first condition is met. We also have
so the second condition is met. Since all conditions are met, the AST says that the series converges.
Suppose we know, now, that we have an alternating series Σ an that converges, and it converges to value L. Here, L stands for limburger, which is the type of stinky cheese in our Pandora's box. We know we can open it without fear of a sandwich explosion, but it will smell terrible.
A partial sum Sn is just an approximation of L. We'd like to know how good the approximation is—that is, how close are Sn and L? In symbols, we'd like to say something about the value.
|L – Sn|.
This distance between the approximation Sn and the real sum of the series L is called the error. With alternating series, it's awesomely easy to find an upper bound for the error.
In general, suppose we have a convergent alternating limburger series Σ ai that sums to L. Then the error between Sn and the actual sum L can't be more than the absolute value of the (n + 1)st term of the series.
We use the absolute value of the (n + 1)st term because the only thing the sign is good for is saying which way the jump goes.
To find the (n + 1)st term of the series we need to know the starting index of summation, or we won't know which term is the (n + 1)st.

TC TO GOETHE; 20 August 1827; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18270820-TC-G-01; CL 4:246-249.
Edinburgh, 21. Comley Bank, / 20th August 1827—
Dear and Honoured Sir,
I have now the pleasure of signifying that your kind purpose has been accomplished. Your Note of the 17th May reached us in two weeks, by the Post; and the much longed-for Packet, which it had warned us to expect, has at length, duly forwarded and announced by Messrs Parish and Co. of Hamburg, arrived here in safety, on the 9th of this month.
If the best return for such gifts is the delight they are enjoyed with, I may say that you are not unrepaid; for no Royal present could have gratified us more. These Books with their Inscriptions,1 these Autographs and tasteful ornaments, will be precious in other generations than ours. Of the Necklace in particular I am bound to mention that it is reposited among the most valued jewels, and set apart for "great occasions," as an ernste Zierde2 fit only to be worn before Poets and intellectual Men. Accept our heartiest thanks for such friendly memorials of a relation, which faint as it is, we must always regard among the most estimable of our life.
This little drawing-room may now be said to be full of you. My Translations from your Works already stood, in fair binding, in the Book-case, and portraits of you lay in portfolios; during our late absence in the country some good Genius, to prepare a happy surprise for us, had hung up, in the best framing and light, a larger picture of you, which we understand to be the best resemblance: and now your Medals lie on the Mantel-piece; your Books, in their silk-paper covers, have displaced even Tasso's Gerusalemme; and from more secret recesses, your handwriting can be exhibited to favoured friends. It is thus that good men may raise for themselves a little sanctuary in houses and hearts that lie far away.
The tolerance, the kindness, with which you treat my labours in German Literature, must not mislead me into vanity; but encourage me to new effort in appropriating what is Beautiful and True, wheresoever and howsoever it is to be found. If "Love" does indeed "help to perfect knowledge,"3 I may hope in time coming to gain better insight both into Schiller and his Friend; for the love of such men lies deep in the heart, and wedded to all that is worthy there.
For your ideas on the tendency of modern poetry to promote a freer spiritual intercourse among nations, I must also thank you: so far as I have yet seized their full import, they command my entire assent; nay perhaps express for me much which I might otherwise have wanted words for. When I try to convert these written observations "into a dialogue," it is as if one of the Three4 were speaking and speaking not to the world, but first to me in particular. Helena also, in that beautiful new Edition of your Poems, I have not failed to read; a bright mystic vision, with its Classic earnestness and Gothic splendour; but I must read it again and again before its whole manifold significance become clear to me. Could mere human prayers avail against an aesthetic Necessity, Faust were surely made triumphant both over the Fiend and himself, and this by the readiest means; the one would go to Heaven, and the other back to his native Pit: for there is no tragic hero whom one pities more deeply than Faust.
You are kind enough to inquire about my bygone life. With what readiness could I speak to you of it, how often have I longed to pour out the whole history before you! As it is, your works have been a mirror to me; unasked and unhoped for, your wisdom has counselled me; and so peace and health of soul have visited me from afar. For I was once an Unbeliever, not in Religion only, but in all the Mercy and Beauty of which it is the symbol; storm-tossed in my own imaginations; a man divided from men; exasperated, wretched, driven almost to despair; so that Faust's wild curse seemed the only fit greeting for human life, and his passionate Fluch vor allen der Geduld!5 was spoken from my very inmost heart. But now, thank Heaven, all this is altered: without change of external circumstances, solely by the new light which rose upon me, I attained to new thoughts, and a composure which I should once have considered as impossible. And now under happier omens, tho' the bodily health which I lost in these struggles has never been and may never be restored to me, I look forward with cheerfulness to a life spent in Literature, with such fortune, and such strength, as may be granted me; hoping little and fearing little from the world; having learned that what I once called Happiness is not only not to be attained on Earth, but not even to be desired. No wonder I should love the wise and worthy men by whose instructions so blessed a result has been brought about! For these men too there can be no reward like that consciousness that in distant countries and times the hearts of their fellow men will yearn towards them with gratitude and veneration, and those that are wandering in darkness turn towards them as to [sure?] loadstars guiding into a secure home.
I shall still hope to hear from you, and again to write to you, and [al]ways acknowledge you as my Teacher and Benefactor. May all good be long continued to you, for your own sake and that of mankind! With the truest reverence, I subscribe myself,
Worthy Sir, / Your grateful Friend and Servant,
Thomas Carlyle—
[JWC's postscript:] My heartfelt thanks to the Poet for his graceful gift, which I prize more than a necklace of diamonds, and kiss with truest regard—
J W Carlyle—

SC students donate time in memory of Leake
When the cafeteria staff at Sterling College learned of the unexpected death of coworker Ben Leake, they wanted to give their respects by attending the funeral service. Unfortunately, there was not enough staff to serve lunch at the College and allow everyone to attend the funeral – until the students stepped in.
"A cafeteria staff member asked me and Renard [Ballard] to find volunteers to help with lunch on Saturday so the staff could attend the funeral. We didn't even have to think twice. Of course we wanted to help," said senior Saul Olivares-Rodriguez of Pinole, Calif.
Chartwells Manager Quintin Eason followed up on the request and helped prepare for the volunteers. Nine students and staff helped in the cafeteria from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. on Saturday to fill in for the employees who wanted to attend the funeral. The volunteers filled in by helping on the serving line, doing dishes, scanning I.D. cards, cleaning up the cafeteria and other odds and ends.
"It was a way for us to give back and serve the cafeteria staff. They work hard for us every day, so it was a privilege to give back to them. We are sorry for their loss and wanted to support them," said Rodriguez.
Volunteers for the morning included: Senior Eddie Adesodun of Mesquite, Texas; Junior Renard Ballard of North Hollywood, Calif.; Sophomore Caden Ford of Haven, Kan.; Freshman Austin Mettling of Udall, Kan.; Senior Erica Nua of Palmdale, Calif.; Senior Megan Reed of Mulvane, Kan.; Senior Saul Olivares-Rodriguez of Pinole, Calif.; Resident Director Addie Swihart of Sterling, Kan.; and Sophomore Lamar Whitson of Blue Rapids, Kan.
Ben Leake had worked for Chartwells, the dining service that runs the Sterling College cafeteria, since 2010.

CINCINNATI – May 6, 2014—Boot Camp Digital will host the nation's leading experts in social media and Internet marketing in a one-day event, SIMEnage, on May 15, 2014 at Memorial Hall.
SIMEngage (www.simengage.com) is expected to attract more than 300 marketers, including those from big brands, advertising agencies and small businesses. The event is co-sponsored by Cleriti, BrandHUB and InfoTrust, and will provide attendees with information on social media and Internet marketing, as well as an opportunity to network.
This event follows the 2010 initiative former governor Ted Strickland set when he appointed Cincinnati as a Hub of Innovation and Opportunity in the area of Consumer Marketing for the state of Ohio.
Krista Neher, Boot Camp Digital CEO, knows the importance of bringing these professionals to Cincinnati. "It's great for the region that we can attract this caliber of speakers. Most of the time, you'd need to travel to San Francisco or New York for a conference like this. This event brings industry leaders from across the country to Cincinnati to share their amazing stories and expertise with local marketing professionals. My goal is to bring together the local marketing community, and empower marketers with the knowledge they need to be successful in digital marketing," Neher said.
Jason Falls, Vice President of Digital Strategy at CafePress Inc., will be a keynote speaker for the event. He'll talk about how marketers can reach more customers through integrating their efforts.
"There are two types of customer audiences: those who seek and those who aren't seeking. We know through search how to get those who are seeking, but what about the others? That's where social media and public relations come to bear. And when you take social, PR and search and put them together, you have a convergence of communications success. We're going to talk about that, how each feeds and influences the other, and hopefully make the audience smarter about search, social and PR," Falls said.
SIMEnage speakers include:
• Krista Neher, CEO, Boot Camp Digital
• Lisa Buyer, Social PR Author, Evangelist, Journalist and Publicist
• Jason Falls, Vice-President, Digital Strategy, CafePress Inc.
• Anum Hussain, Inbound Marketing Manager, HubSpot
• Adam Singer, Analytics Advocate, Google
• Marty Weintraub, Founder & Evangelist, aimClear®
• Matt Dooley, Founder and CEO, dooley media
• Shana Douglas, Digital Marketing and Media Manager, LaSenza
• Kevin Dugan, Director of Content Strategy, Empower MediaMarketing
• Nathan Engels, SEO Analyst, LEAP Agency
• Mark Homer and Jabez LeBret, Get Noticed Get Found
• Dan O'Keeffe, President & CEO, O'Keeffe PR & Marketing Solutions.

A Walgreens exclusive, the Spartan CIO with Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) was out abundantly in stores prior to Christmas 2013. It sports a unique grey and green paint scheme, and intricate sculpting. Additionally, the figure (like most of the Spartan permutations from the Halo 4 waves) sports a whopping 27 points of articulation.
As this is the first of the Halo 4 Spartans we have looked at (other than the Master Chief of course) it bears doing a quick run down of the features. Very little in the way of surprises appears in terms of sculpting or paint, both are top notch head to toe. The joints on the arms are a little finicky, as the elbow ball is articulated in all three axes, at both the bicep and forearm end. You have to really think about what you want the arm to do before you set about moving it.
Another problem is the hand. The thumb and fingers are aggressively clenched. This can be a positive, as once something s gripped, it is positively secure. Getting an accessory in there, however, can be a bit dodgy. The DMR, with its small, enclosed grip, is quite difficult to get seated.

Anoka-Ramsey Student Receives MSCSA Leadership Scholarship
Two leading professional development training centers, the Corporate Center at Anoka Technical College and the Professional Training Center at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, have formally merged operations. The result is one dynamic Professional and Workforce Training center to focus on meeting the critical training and development needs of businesses and individuals north of the Twin Cities and in east central Minnesota.
Under the direction of Jamie Barthel, the Professional and Workforce Training center will continue providing development training and non-credit educational opportunities in compliance/OSHA, health and wellness, manufacturing technology and industrial engineering, information technology and computer application, professional and organization development and personal interest.
Working collaboratively with both colleges the Professional and Workforce Training center [JB3] will give individuals an opportunity to take non-credit classes to enhance their competency levels for both personal development and career advancement.
"By merging our teams and areas of expertise, we can better serve our clients with comprehensive experience customized to their organizational or individual needs," says Barthel. "The merger presents a significant opportunity to collaboratively bring our services and education offerings to the next level. We are excited to see this come together and about becoming a more resourceful partner for our customers."
Merging the two operations is the result of a larger alignment. In July 2011, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system aligned Anoka Technical College and Anoka-Ramsey Community College. James McCormick, the former chancellor of the system, explained the decision to align the colleges as a means to create efficiencies in administration and better coordination of programs as well as to strengthen partnerships with business and industries.
Anoka Technical and Anoka-Ramsey have complementary and similar strengths and fulfill related missions in helping the business community. The leadership of both colleges views the merger as an excellent opportunity to combine resources.
"The individual strengths of these two college entities have been substantial for many years," says Dr. Jessica Stumpf, interim president at Anoka Technical and Anoka-Ramsey Community colleges. "The merger makes them even stronger and helps establish the aligned Professional and Workforce as the premiere service provider with more resources and an expanded reach."

Great Minds met again this year in Denton – the 2nd Annual Art and Science of Animal Training:
Innovations and Refinement – sponsored by ORCA and the University of North Texas. This very formal title doesn't properly convey the excitement of having seven of the top animal trainers together, sharing ideas and exploring the science and progress of animal training, clicker/marker training, operant conditioning, and the future of animal training.
While the language of science and theory gets a little overwhelming, the concepts themselves are simple, and there were lots of "aha" moments during the day. Take a look at the sound bites below – I've included links to the trainer's websites for you to click on if you are interested in details.
Steve Martin
Steve Martin discussed several concepts – building a Trust Bank Account for your dog by depositing lots of positive experiences into your relationship and avoiding the withdrawals of punishment and adversives, giving your dog power over his environment by teaching them to shape your behavior, and making training work for the dog. His methods are well thought out and proven over years of working with prey birds and other animals in zoos and animal shows - he has to use training methods that make the animal want to work for him – if he doesn't build that trust in the relationship, a falcon or parrot could just fly away.
He also said "Your dogs' behavior is a direct reflection of your training." When we blame the dog and come up with excuses related to the animal's biology or past, we end up avoiding the problem, instead of finding and addressing whatever actually caused the problem.
Ken Ramirez
Ken Ramirez talked about how to be a better animal training consultant, but the bullet points that he gave us for better ways to work with people will also work wonderfully in our effort to train our four-footed companions.
His plan included identifying the problem, setting priorities, speaking their language, unlearn long-held "truths, find acceptable behavior, consistency, and positive reinforcement.

YSC Goes to the White House
YSC Goes to the White House
NEW YORK CITY, OO - (September 18, 2002)
YSC President, Cynthia Rubin, meets with President George Bush to discuss Cancer Screening and Early Detection
Cynthia Rubin, YSC President, along with YSC members from Washington, D.C., New York, New Jersey, Boston and Pennsylvania travelled to the White House to hear a Presidential briefing on cancer early detection and screening and the increased funding for cancer research by $629 million. Lance Armstrong also spoke on the importance of making the war against cancer a priority for the current administration.
The President spoke to a group of 200 including members from national cancer advocacy groups, members of the United States Congress, Andy Von Eschenbach, the Director of the National Cancer Insititute, Elias Zerhouni, the Director of the National Institutues of Health, Rich Carmona, the Surgeon General, and Ann Veneman, the Secretary of Agriculture, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
Rubin took the stage along side the President, Lance Armstrong, and cancer survivors Paige Brown, Trischa Goldman, Jamal Rasheed and Matthew Skowronski, all representing their respective cancer advocacy groups.
"It was a tremendous experience for myself and for the YSC to be at the White House for this important briefing," states Rubin. "I am honored to have had a few minutes with the President to tell him about the work of the YSC and the many young women 40 and under diagnosed with breast cancer, and as well to have been a source of support for his Secretary of Agriculture."

Last Tuesday I attended a dinner in Memphis where Christians gathered to voice their unqualified support for Israel.
I was there with a friend from Tupelo, as well as a Christian journalist and a few other good folks.
We were immersed in a good cross section of the evangelical community, seated among Baptist and non-denominational preachers as well as conservative business leaders and even a politician or two.
There were also three rabbis from Memphis there and several members of the synagogue down the street.
Even as we were being served our salads I could tell this was going to be an evening of strong opinions. There'd be no talk of a two-state solution on this night. This was not a Jimmy Carter crowd.
A young friend of mine who works in publishing gave the opening remarks.
"Israel is an island of democracy, a beacon of freedom in a desert where Islamic dictatorship reigns," he said. "Now is not the time for the U.S. to get cold feet in supporting Israel."
The speakers who followed gave brief, poignant addresses, most implying that whether because of political correctness, the rising tide of secularism or the current presidential administration the U.S. isn't doing all it can for Israel.
Polls showed that 77 percent of Jews voted for Obama, but many right-leaning Jews and evangelicals have taken exception to his unsympathetic stance toward Jewish expansion in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem. They haven't cared much for the conciliatory tone he's taken while speaking in places like Turkey, either.
Since day one there's always been a hard line remnant of the far right that insists Obama is really a Muslim masquerading as a Christian.
The Memphis crowd was opinionated but nobody wanted to risk having their Ahi and rice digest poorly, so they kept their criticisms general and infrequent.
Prayer carried the evening and folks steered clear of political discussion.
We watched a video listing Israel's accomplishments, such as that it has the highest percentage of female entrepreneurs and the highest number of university degrees per capita in the world.
We ate our bread pudding and called for more coffee.
The journalist and I bounced a few ideas off each other and I decided that, for good or ill, most of my readers would probably agree with the opinions I'd heard expressed at the dinner.
The journalist's parting words to me were about how he chronicles the fight between Islam and the people of God. I shook his hand politely and went home to my wife.

February 21st 2010 - Baltimore-based developer Firaxis has announced the release of Civilization 5 to arrive during fall of this year. The game is being built on an all-new engine, and for the first time the series will move to a hexagonal playfield grid. 2K, who is developing the game with Firaxis is also promising an "entirely new" combat system with ranged bombardment options, animated world leaders who will speak in their own languages, and a built-in community hub allowing players to swap scenarios and other content without leaving the game. With Firaxis being a local studio I, Chad Hammer, will keep you updated and give you more details as we learn more.
Official Press Release
February 18, 2010 – 2K Games Announces Sid Meier's Civilization V in Development at World Renowned Firaxis Games Studio
Gaming's most prolific strategy franchise takes the PC experience to new heights this fall.
New York, NY – February 18, 2010 – 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), today announced that Sid Meier's Civilization® V, the newest entry from the genre-defining strategy-based franchise, is currently in development at Firaxis Games for PC. Civilization Vreinvigorates the classic turn-based strategy genre with an astonishing new engine built from the ground-up for this flagship edition of the Civilization franchise. Players are introduced to an entirely new combat system, deeper diplomatic interactions and a cavalcade of expanded features that deliver a fully immersive experience providing hours of entertainment as players build and defend their empire on their quest to become the greatest ruler the world has ever known.
Civilization V takes this definitive strategy game series in new directions with the introduction of hexagon tiles allowing for deeper strategy, more realistic gameplay and stunning organic landscapes for players to explore as they expand their empire. The brand new engine orchestrates a spectacular visual experience that brings players closer to the Civ experience than ever, featuring fully animated leaders interacting with players from a screen-filling diplomatic scene and speaking in their native language for the first time. Wars between empires feel massive as armies dominate the landscape, and combat is more exciting and intense than ever before. The addition of ranged bombardment allows players to fire weapons from behind the front lines, challenging players to develop clever new strategies to guarantee victory on the battlefield. In addition to the new gameplay features debuting in Civilization V, an extensive suite of community, modding and multiplayer elements will also make an appearance.
"Sid Meier's Civilization franchise has been recognized as one of the greatest PC game franchises of all time with millions of units sold worldwide," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Civilization V takes the franchise further by offering players a more immersive experience with deeper strategies; heightened tactical combat; vast, realistic landscapes to explore, battle over and claim as their own; and an in-game community hub where Civ fans can share content and compete against each other without leaving the game. This marks a new era that will forever change the franchise responsible for sleep deprivation and reduced productivity for nearly two decades."
"Each new version of Civilization presents exciting challenges for our team," said Sid Meier, director of creative development at Firaxis Games. "Thankfully, ideas on how to bring new and fun experiences to Civ players never seem to stop flowing. From fully animated leaders and realistic landscapes, new combat tactics, expanded diplomacy and shared mods, we're excited for players to see the new vision our team at Firaxis has brought to the series."
In addition to Civilization V, Firaxis Games is also currently developing Sid Meier's Civilization® Network™, a Civ game for Facebook. With Sid Meier leading design,Civilization Network will offer yet another option for world domination to both the casual gamer and the biggest fan of the series. It's another way to access the famously addictive world of Civilization.

CURRICULUM PROGRAM: English Language Arts
COURSE TITLE: Language Arts 12
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
Major Concepts/Content: This is a class that will prepare students for the skills they will need to be successful in college and in life. When they have completed the class, students will have acquired the reading and critical thinking skills necessary for understanding challenging new material, analyzing that material to deduce meaning, and applying what they have learned to our world. They will have the composition skills needed to communicate their understanding effectively to a variety of audiences. Students will read and analyze classic works of literature because these works contain literary qualities that merit study and provoke thinking, not because of a requirement to know a particular work or author. They will also look at modern and contemporary works as they examine all genres: plays, short stories, speeches, poetry, essays, and novels.
Students will learn to apply critical literary terms as tools for learning, understanding, and communication. Learning activities include close reading, paraphrasing, discussions, essays, short answer exams, research papers, reflective journals, web quests, and others. The unit structure below identifies the main headings of the units only.
Units will include a combination of genres and activities. The structure to the class is not based upon a sequence of chronology, national origin, or genres. It is instead based upon the sequence that best supports the learning needs of the student.

Long-Term Survivor Navigator
For breast cancer survivors, every cancer-free year after completing treatment is an important milestone worth celebrating! Though you may be finished with treatments, you are still likely dealing with the long term impact of breast cancer on your life. YSC has created Beyond 5 Years: A Navigator for Long-Term Survivors, to help you manage the issues you may face years beyond diagnosis and treatment.
Your family and friends might assume this difficult chapter of your life is over, but you're probably still dealing with the impact of breast cancer: physically, emotionally, professionally and financially. You may feel like you are aging out of the young survivor community but have trouble connecting with older, more recently diagnosed peers. You're likely to have questions about how breast cancer will affect you as you advance from young adulthood into middle age.
Our Long-Term Navigator is designed as a companion piece to YSC's What's Next? A Young Woman's Post-Treatment Navigator. In Beyond 5 Years, though, we address some of the unique concerns women have as they transition from new survivor to longer-term survivor. Topics covered include: Medical Care and Physical Health, Overall Heath & Wellness, Emotional Health & Relationships, Family Risk, Financial, Legal and Employment Concerns, Crafting Your Life After Breast Cancer, and Survivorship Resources.

For awhile, I had a separate main blog along with this review blog. I've since started posting everything on the "main blog", and so this "review blog" is an archive of past reviews I've written about a variety of products.
To be frank, I didn't get into blogging for the products. Rather, once I started having "influence," the review opportunities started rolling in. I really do enjoy telling my audience about services, trips, experiences, food, and so forth that I enjoy; however, it feels a bit funny to have an entirely separate "review" space as if I'm some professional reviewer. Because I'm not. Rather, I will point out on my "main blog" when something truly merits a mention.

I love the Neon trend for Christmas 2012 in Australasia and the geometric pattern design that is hot right now!
I decided to use my Queen Anne dresser and my White Faux Taxidermy Deer had to be the main feature in the shoot and of course what better than painting the deer antlers Neon Pink!
The colour scheme is: Neon pink, White, Gold and a splash of icy pastel Blue.
One of the cake styles I have being wanting to use for a while is the NordicWare Heritage Bundt pan. I love the the shape and was really pleased with how the cake turned out and looked in the shoot.
The whole theme is very modern with an edge!
