The St. Louis Craft Mafia organized its fifth annual Green with Indie craft show on Saturday, March 8, 2014. The Green with Indie craft show (GWI) was free to the public and took place at the Webster University Grant Gym. With over sixty artists, sellers, and other vendors participating and sponsorship from companies and organizations like The Foundrie, KDHX, The Refind Room, Yelp, The Upcycle Exchange, and Verde Kids, the 2014 GWI showcased "green" arts, crafts, and other products for sale that are "earth-friendly, salvaged, upcycled, recycled, homegrown, homemade, revamped, or refurbished," according to the event website.
This year's GWI craft show was an enjoyable experience. Webster University's Grant Gym was a space that worked well for the number of vendors and attendees from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. The food trucks just outside of the event space were so popular that a number of well-liked items had sold out by the end of the show. KDHX provided the music during the fair, and a "craft yeti" wandered around the booths, apparently enjoying the crowd and atmosphere.
The vendors at the craft show were selected by a committee within the St. Louis Craft Mafia (STLCM). The goods included at GWI were required to be handmade or vintage, and with a "green" focus, explained STLCM CO-Organizer Rachel Shelton. "To us, green means using your resources wisely. We encourage our vendors to get creative and think about how to make trash into fabulous handmade treasure," Shelton said. Some of the items on display and for sale at the show included mats woven from t-shirts, flannel scraps, and other recycled materials; jewelry made from materials like wire, roller chains, and bottle caps; ceramics; luminaries made created from upcycled cans; visual art; furniture pieces; and even ukuleles.
According to Shelton, STLCM also focuses on crafts that are "one hundred percent unique." Walking around Grant Gym, visitors likely could not help noticing that the products at all the stands were striking. "We truly feel that handmade is a great alternative to mass produced. Handmade goods generate much less waste and are so much cuter. We are passionate about using local resources and putting our money back into our local economy." Shelton also emphasized that a major goal behind the GWI is to educate and inform the public about products that are "green," organic, and eco-friendly, and the benefit of such goods.
Displaying these types of items and giving people the opportunity to learn more, craft shows like the GWI allow each individual consumer to see the benefits and the beauty of "green" up close. And after attending the GWI, a question may come to mind: why aren't "green" crafts and products sold as commercially as the standard products that are currently in stores? Perhaps seasoned craft show attendees already know the answer. Maybe handmade items cannot be mass-produced quickly enough to fill shelves. A good argument could also be made for the preferable atmosphere of a craft show or fair. Another possibility is that the general public is already comfortable enough with the products and name brands that they've always known. It is, most likely, a complex question. Would St. Louisans like to see more local, organic, handmade, and/or "green" products widely available for purchase?
Shelton cites the high attendance at the GWI as a positive indication of the public's interest in these types of products. She feels that "green" alternatives are indeed becoming "more and more available both at locally owned shops as well as larger more commercial stores." Shelton encourages every individual to seek out "green," organic, and local products if he or she prefers them.
Certainly, craft shows like GWI provide the market for such "green" consumerism, and are good resources for further information and ideas. According to Shelton, the STLCM is currently aiming for another Green with Indie craft show in March of 2015.

HEADLINES : California
John Chiang says California revenues fell short in February
California revenues missed the mark in February by 3.2 percent, or $146.3 million, state Controller John Chiang said Monday.
Chiang, who manages the state's cash, said the shortfall was likely due to a spike in tax refunds going out earlier than expected in February. Income tax receipts were 5.7 percent, or $99.9 million, below the Department of Finance's projection.
Gov. Jerry Brown and state lawmakers are anxiously awaiting tax receipts from March and April, two significant revenue months as taxpayers file their returns. The Democratic governor has proposed a budget to close a $9.2 billion deficit, but the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office has suggested that Brown's estimates are overly optimistic and that the deficit is likely higher than that figure.

a little black cat says...
baths are not coolAugust 27th 2012 2:17 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ]
well...I had a bath Saturday. Mom was real quick, but it was scary. I was shaking so much she felt me vibrating through all the towels. She felt bad, but there was so much dirt that came off me with the rinse water, she thought maybe I would end up not being a black kitty after all! Silly mom. I looked like a drowned rat with my skinny tail. But now, mom says I am softer than velvet & so shiny & clean. I feel pretty good too - I attacked that milk ring & killed it - I made sure mom was safe from that bad ol milk ring! All I gotta get under control is the pooting. Mom says I can clear a room when I use the box. So maybe it is my tummy adjusting to good food still. I eat only kitten food, 99% wet, with only a few kitten kibbles as a treat at night. When I was outside us feral cats got fed the best food mom could afford, but with 8 of us out there, it was 9 Lives canned and Boots & Barkley dry. So I guess my system is still adjusting to higher protein. So while my butt might be a bit stinkish, my fur smells like baby powder! Smitty even helped lick the water off to dry me! He seems to be getting better, and playing more gentle. I even played with Maizy, which Smitty tells me is an honor she rarely bestows! And Tigger let me lay next to him on the couch!

I hate being subjected to baths!
Sorry you had to take a bath and you were so scared, but look at the results. Feeling clean just makes you feel better. I hope you're over the pooting. I had that problem because I ate too much of the adult food when I was a kitten. Daddy's friends came over and the litterbox was in the corner. I pooted in there and the only person who didn't react was the one person with no sense of smell. That's when Daddy decided to move the litterbox and add a second one. We probably don't need two anymore since Sarge is gone, but we're used to two now. Keep up the good work!
I agree, bathies are not cool! But I bet you smell good and your fur is really soft and shiny.

Tennis - Boys Varsity
Berkshire School has a rich and successful tradition in the game of tennis. The Bears play a fourteen-game season, including two tournaments. We hope these experiences prepare us to compete in our league and become one of the top prep schools in New England.
In order to prepare for competition, Coach Bjurlin offers a spring training trip during the March break. For the past several years, the team has traveled to Boca Raton to train at St. Andrews School's world class facilities, and compete against teams such as St. Andrews, Boca Prep and Spanish River. In addition, Berkshire players recently attend the Sony Open and met some of America's premiere players, including Madison Keys, Jack Sock and Ryan Harrison.
Playing quality tennis is our focus, and we are looking for players who want to compete, work hard, and do what is necessary for team success. We prepare our players for the next level, which includes working with each player who is interested in playing in college to find a school and program that is a good fit.

GroovBoard Plum
Non-EU customers
(no VAT)
plus shipping
EU customers
(19% VAT incl.) What's this?
plus shipping
It'll be back though, and it'll be shinier and awesomer than ever.
If you want to be notified when the new GroovBoard launches, enter your email address below.
Luxurious beauty
Tied with the apple model, the GroovBoard Plum is my personal favorite. Its warm, deep red color and cloudy grain are unlike any other timber and form a spectacular contrast with the slick aluminium-and-glass coolness of the iPad.
Key Facts
- Solid plum, solvent-free linseed oil finish, neodymium magnets, self-adhesive anti-slip rubber feet
- ~300 x 230 x 24 mm (11.8 x 9 x 0.95 inches)
- ~1,100 grams (2.4 lbs)
- Supports iPad 1 and iPad 2, 3 & 4, iPad Air and the iPad mini with or without Smart Cover
- Stylus holders support styluses of up to ~12 mm diameter (e.g. Wacom Bamboo Stylus, Adonit Jot Pro, Pogo Sketch, etc.)
- iPad and accessories pictured not included.
The GroovBoard gives you several options for using your iPad comfortably with or without an external keyboard, with a stylus, on your couch or easy chair, in bed or at a desk or table.
In flat mode, the two main grooves hold your iPad securely at two distinct angles, and let you use an external keyboard when the iPad is in the back groove. In upright mode, the iPad sits in the top groove, rested against your thighs and the back (or, in this mode, upper) groove becomes a mount for the Apple Wireless Keyboard.
Two stylus holders on the left and right side of the GroovBoard hold on to your stylus in both flat and upright mode. Any stylus up to a diameter of about 12 mm (~0.47 inches) will fit.
When the GroovBoard is used in upright mode with your knees pulled up, you can remove the magnetically attached handrest to move the iPad to a lower, more comfortable position if required. This is most useful when using the iPad in this position without an external keyboard.
If you want to use the GroovBoard on your desk or countertop, six anti-slip rubber feet support it and protect both the GroovBoard and the respective surface from scratches.
"I received my GroovBoard today. I knew the first time I saw them on your site they are well thought out. I now see they are beautifully made and professionally packaged. I have looked for a lap desk but all were too large. The size of the GroovBoard is perfect with the added benefit of holding the iPad at the right angle. I see it being used daily. Thank you for making my life a little easier."
If you like watching movies on your iPad and you have a Bluetooth speaker like the Jawbone Jambox, try placing the speaker in front of the iPad with the front of the speaker facing the iPad's screen. The sound gets reflected off of the screen at an angle that makes it sound like the audio is coming right out of the iPad.
Another great usage scenario for watching a movie or reading on the iPad is to use the GroovBoard for setting down a cup of coffee. Just be sure not to wiggle around too much ;)
For a full feature overview, check out the usage page.

I don't see anyone whose fit to challenge him, aside from Romney. So yeah, this will be a landslide victory for Obama.
I don't see anyone whose fit to challenge him, aside from Romney. So yeah, this will be a landslide victory for Obama.
Sometimes, knowing where you dont want to go is all the direction you need.Known Aliases; CallofReach141
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Obama is going to win a second term. I actually think Newt Gingrich is the only person who could truly challenge him, because whether you like him or not, he's ambitious and he's quick-witted in debates. I'd love to see an Obama-Gingrich debate.
Romney won't beat him because Romney essentially IS Obama, minus all of the qualities that are best about Obama. Romney is the Obama that doesn't want gay people to get married. The fringe moderates would probably figure they should stick with Obama in that situation.
Santorum won't beat him because he's way too extreme. At least I hope a majority of America's voters would figure that one out.
And of course, as much as I love him, Ron Paul is pretty much playing spoiler in the GOP race at this point. He's not going to be nominated, which is a shame. I really like Paul and Obama, both for very different reasons. God forbid there were two good candidates in an election.
I don't know why Ron Paul is still trying. He's too fail to be big
Sorry, but libertarian radicalism isn't working that well. And you know Americans are indeed mostly socialists. If Obama is one, so all of the persons who elected him are socialists either. No space for the repressed beliefs in marktes and freedom in the US and A. Sad but true :/ I see it coming, another four years of a new wave of american socialism.
Sorry, if someone feels offended.
PS: I like the US and A.

We live in an age of reproduction. Most of what makes up our personal picture of the world we have never seen with our own eyes--or rather, we've seen it with our own eyes, but not on the spot: our knowledge comes to us from a distance, we are televiewers, telehearers, teleknowers. (M.F.)
formerly known as formerly known.
Socialism causes poverty. The US has many socialistic policies that simply won't allow our economy to heal (obamacare, bailouts, welfare, etc). Capitalism is grossly misunderstood and is the only way for a nation to prosper long-term.
And you're right, libertarianism/anarchism has been failing, with a few exceptions, basically ever since humans have become civilized. It started out with rulers/kings/emperors, and has manifested into governments. There's too many people (almost everyone) that think it's ok to tell other people how to live their lives, and have the government enforce their beliefs through legislation/force. Limited government/no government won't really ever catch on until governments start collapsing economies or infringing on individual freedoms already more than they are currently. We're already seeing a lot of uproar over this kind of stuff, but people are still crying for more government and more regulation as the answer, which, unfortunately, is the reason for our problems, not the solution.
I really think if the economy does not pick up, Obama has a fair chance of losing the race. Most presidents in US history who come into an economic problem and are seen as unable to fix it do, no matter how popular they were at a given point. The president has almost no *real* control over the US economy, yet due to years of campaign promises and the fact that he is the figurehead of the country/head of state, he gets the blame from the voters.
Their policies seriously affect the economy. Some stuff isn't directly under their control, but some major issues are.
But people will be looking for Romney to turn things around, you're right. Unfortunately he'll bring more of the same, just like Obama did after the Bush era. The president is just a puppet to the elite powers in the US.
I tend to agree with you on that point. Many people, I think, fail to see that Obama's economic policies simply followed the course set by Bush when the financial crisis first occurred. Republicans like to wag their fingers at Obama as bailing people out, yet Bush did the same. But of course, to a lot of people, that is an uncomfortable fact.
Democrats and Republicans just like blaming each other when they are pretty much doing identical things and are both the problem.
And the "elite theory" doesn't take much digging to uncover the truth. Politicians in general, along with the president, are bought and sold. The rich and powerful buy legislation in order to control the market. For example, this is why the bailouts happened. This is why small businesses have no chance against corporations. This is why we're spending so much on military nonsense. This is how PIPA and SOPA came about. This is why our prisons are filled to the brim. Those are just a few of many, many things that the elite pay to make happen. Through forced taxation, government and the elite work together to make money off of us.

I am not an American and not really informed. But I think (even if he doesn't hold every promise, and they never do) that he is way better than all these conservative Republicans (today)...
The American people are far more compromising in nature, and are far less black and white on most issues, especially social issues.
I know a lot of people who are those so-called extinct "liberal Republicans" who are for limited government and are socially liberal, yet there are virtually none of these people represented in the US Congress. Our government has become steadily less representative over the last say 15-20 years.

If you're socially conservative and you push those views you can't seriously claim that you're for "small government", and yet plenty of people do. Ideology-wise those are my least favourite politicians.

Ghost Pepper Fly Fishing
Ghost Pepper Fly Fishing is the Hottest Fly Fishing Site in the World, providing fly fishing enthusiasts the hottest fly fishing news, stories, and techniques to fuel their passion.
I'm sure your first question is what does a Ghost Pepper have to do with fly fishing? Absolutely nothing, but seeing as the Ghost Pepper is the hottest pepper in the world I felt it was only fitting to name the hottest fly fishing site after it.
So how hot is a Ghost Pepper? The scientific name for the Ghost Pepper is Bhut Jolokia or Naga Jolokia and it tops the Scoville scales at a blistering 1,041,427 units. (Scoville is the heat measurement of chili peppers) So how does that compare to your every day hot sauce? Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units. Your basic jalapeno pepper measures anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000. The previous record holder, the Red Savina habanero, was tested at up to 580,000 Scovilles. So at 1,041,427 Scovilles the Ghost Pepper is by the far the hottest naturally grown pepper in the world.
So what makes Ghost Pepper Fly Fishing the hottest fly fishing sit in the world? For starters the site brings the hottest fly fishing news, gear, and fish stories to the fly fishing community. There are so many great sites out there with fly fishing content, but unfortunately you do not have time to visit all of them. Our mission is to locate great content and bring it to a central place for you to read. However, we do ask you to support those sites and authors by checking out their other content. You may ask how we go about posting content from others sites. Well, we follow the Curators Code of Ethics and give full credit to authors, and for the most part these authors love us because we are spreading their message and driving new traffic to their site. One thing I have noticed is that in the past to develop fishing techniques or to learn a new strategy you had to either talk your grandfather or an old timer to get the information. Now a days people leverage the social community to share strategy and techniques, which only helps grow the passion for the sport. Ghost Pepper Fly Fishing has a great social presence on Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus so be sure to check us out.
I hope that Ghost Pepper Fly Fishing fuels your passion and puts you in touch with others who feel the same way about the sport we all love. Feel free to contact us with questions or to show off your latest trophy brown, or tell us a great story. Remember when someone asked where you learned to catch so many fish tell them the hottest site in the world, Ghost Pepper Fly Fishing.

INDIANAPOLIS — Browns coach Eric Mangini is in a reduced role at this year's scouting combine, and says he's enjoying it.
Mangini was the de facto leader of the organization in his first season with the Browns. This year, he has two bosses — president Mike Holmgren and general manager Tom Heckert — so the final say doesn't belong to him.
"It's changed quite a bit, and changed quite a bit for the better," Mangini said Saturday. "There's a huge infusion of ideas. That's comforting. It's also exciting to me, because you get exposed to a lot of different ways of doing things that you haven't thought about, angles you hadn't looked at."
Mangini and Heckert said they'd be open to trading up or down from the No. 7 pick, and Heckert said he wouldn't be opposed to drafting a quarterback that high. Oklahoma's Sam Bradford is expected to be the first quarterback taken, and likely will be gone by No. 7.

The story of Delilah is one of love and deception. Delilah was a temptress and possibly a woman of 'the night' , but was she as evil as she was depicted to be? Or was she following orders, and therefore showing traits of a true and loyal female Philistine soldier.
Delilah was propositioned with money for the task of using her prowess to find out what made Samson as strong and powerful as he was. Samson was already in love with the woman described to be beautiful and seductive before she took the Philistine's offer. Seemingly if she loved him back, she would not have accepted the offer.
Three times she asked him, without beating around the bush, what would take away his strength. Three times he gave a blatantly untrue answer. They were ridiculous claims of strings and ropes, and each time Delilah would take this insight as true and trustworthy information and test it in hopes that it would work.
At this point Samson appeared to recognize what was happening and appeared to be not-so blinded by Delilah's beauty after all. So she questioned that admiration. (Judges 16:15-17)
In her final attempt she played the guilt game that so many know so well. It was the "If you love me" game. This confrontation switched the control to Delilah. Samson became nagged- daily. This was so much that he tired of the nagging and relinquished the information if only to free himself.
He told her that he was blessed by God from birth. He had never poisoned his body with wine and that he had never shaved his head. He revealed to her the secret of his heart, that if his hair be cut, that he would surely become weakened.
Delilah did not take the time to test his claim this time. She immediately sent for the Philistine officials. And they came and brought her the money they had promised.
They too did not test the claim before giving her the money. That night Delilah apparently wooed Samson until he comfortably laid his head upon her lap and fell asleep. Once his slumber was established Delilah called for "a man" to come and shave Samson's hair.
The scripture does not explain why Delilah helped the Philistines perform the act when that is not what was asked of her originally. It also does not give details as to who the "man" was, or why Delilah didn't just cut the hair herself.
Samson had seven locks of hair, which were quickly removed from his head. Delilah awakens Samson by calling out to him, "The Philistines are upon you!" Samson woke up feeling that he would be able to break away from whatever injustice was done as he had done before- still believing that the Lord was still with him. But this time before he could establish himself, he was attacked and taken down and his eyes were gouged out as he was tortured and thrown into prison.
At this moment there is no more mention of Delilah at all. Eventually, the hair on Samson's head begins to grow back. This was believed to be favor from God in Samson's heart and one day as Samson's recovering strength was being used for public entertainment he destroyed the whole arena and everybody inside including himself, for he had prayed to God, "Let me die with the Philistines." (Judges 16:30)
There is no mention as to whether Delilah was killed in the building that was destroyed, but it is mentioned that Samson killed more people in his death, than while he was living.
Usually this is where the story of Samson and Delilah ends, but if you read ahead just a few scriptures, after Samson is buried there begins a new story of a young man who has decided to return eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother from whom it was stolen.
This is the exact amount that was awarded to Delilah.
There is no mention of emotion on the part of Delilah- only her determination to get that reward. The money meant way more to her than love.
Perhaps she is one of the first "Gold diggers" ever.

Color-awakening lip balm? Whuh? We were definitely intrigued by the marketing copy on Dior Addict Lip Glow ($28) that claimed that it responded to the color chemistry of your lips to create a unique-to-you shade. But you know what? It's true! We're not sure how it works, but this lip moisturizer protects your pucker with SPF 10, but transforms into a subtle, natural pink hue that was different and super flattering on each OB staffer. It's perfect for everyday wear, and yes, we love the label smug we get whipping out a Dior product on the subway. (We're a little shallow sometimes.)

FDB 0.7.0 released
Hi all, As promised, FDB initial release (0.7.0) is out: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb/0.7.0 It's almost feature-complete (ready for 95% of users), but it could be still buggy (it's beta!), and the code wasn't optimized for size and speed. In all other ways it's ready for wide testing. What's missing: - Distributed transactions - ARRAY support - EVENTs support - Stream BLOBs - TRACE service - Documentation (but you can use KInterbasDB one as FDB is as close to it as possible). - Python 3.x support (haven't had time to test it, but it shouldn't be hard to make it work there) What's new since my last post here: - Support for stored procedures (proper one according to Python DB API, behaviour is the same as in KInterbasDB) - Prepared Statements. It works in exactly the same way as in KInterbasDB, i.e. you can use explicit PS via cursor.prep(), or use the internal PS cached for all statements executed via cursor.execute() - it will detect previously executed command and re-use prepared statement (cached per cursor instance!).(Continue reading)

Beyond The Canvas: Atlanta Artist Fahamu Pecou is honored for his original works
By Titus Falodun Staff Writer | 7/12/2013, 12:47 p.m.
Fahamu Pecou's canvas is ever changing. His palette is a satirical blend of colors, sounds, and words. And this week, his artistic expressions have earned him a distinguished place.
On July 9, The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia announced E.K. Huckaby, Scott Ingram, and Pecou as the 16th, 17th, and 18th artists selected for the 2013-14 Working Artists Project.
Each Georgia artist will receive a $12,000 stipend and a studio assistant to support the creation of an exhibition at MOCA GA over the next year. Along with an accompanying catalog, a work from each exhibit will be added to Buckhead's museum permanent collection.
"This award will actually free me up to experiment on a much deeper level, which is really exciting," Pecou said. "I've been in the process of developing a mobile app that brings together my artwork, music, music videos, and a corresponding blog about black masculinity and Hip Hop."
The concept is to create an interactive experience for viewers, so each painting has a CUE Art code hanging next to it. You scan the code with your mobile device and download the audio, as you're interacting with the painting.
The app is scheduled to come out later this month.
Guest juror Franklin Sirmans, who is the contemporary art curator at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, selected this year's honorees, which included Pecou.
"Overall, I'm really interested in how he's using other visual devices and designs," Sirmans said. "I really admire the way that he takes into account how we view things in the world."
MOCA GA, with funding from the Atlanta-based Charles Loridans Foundation, launched the WAP in 2007, in order to address the countless visual artists leaving Atlanta in search of better opportunities and support.
Currently, Pecou is enrolled at Emory University as a doctoral student, with a dissertation focused on black masculinity in popular culture and how these images impact both the reading and performance of black masculinity and identity.
His dissertation comes alive through his works like "Hard 2 Death: Second Childhood," "NEGUS in Paris," and "Sophisticated Ignorance," which dance on the fine line between reality and fantasy; truth and parody.
"A lot of what is produced and projected from the mainstream media and through popular culture didn't necessarily look or function in the way that I did," Pecou explained. "And I am a black man. I found that to be a really ironic reality."
Drawing inspiration from Hip Hop music (Kanye West to be specific) Pecou recently released an album "All Dat Glitters Ain't Goals: the EP," which artistically vocalizes his social activism.
"I reference [Kanye] a lot in my work," Pecou said. "I really see what he is trying to express. He's not afraid to take risks. His creativity is undeniable. And I'd really like to work with him someday."
Pecou is also influenced by traditional artists, such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Barkley Hendricks, and Andy Warhol, who all play with expectations in very witty ways that challenge conventions.
But Pecou really creates art to support his two major inspirations.
"My daughter gave me life," he said. "And my son gave my life purpose."
You can find Fahamu Pecou's work in the "Drawing Inside the Perimeter" exhibit at The High Museum of Art in Atlanta, as well as exhibits in Dallas and Houston. He is also online at www.fahamupecouart.com.


text: Jan 31, 2013 17:08 "In the Yard" column for Jan. 25, 2013 "In the Yard" column for Jan. 25, 2013 Photo provided by the LSU AgCenter -- Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) is native to Louisiana and the southeastern United States. Other staples of the Southern garden, camellias, azaleas and crape myrtles are native to the Far East. Advocate story Comments Louisianians grow up playing in neighborhood Southern magnolia trees. If your children are missing out, January and February are good magnolia planting months. Southern magnolias (Magnolia grandiflora) can reach 60 feet in height but average 40 to 50 feet with a spread of 20 to 30 feet, said Dan Gill, LSU AgCenter horticulturist. Though evergreen, Southern magnolias drop a carpet of leaves in late summer and fall. Gill cautions against planting magnolias near patios, swimming pools and driveways. Magnolia roots are sensitive to depth of planting. It's critical that the top of the root ball be at or slightly higher than surrounding soil. If you don't have room for a Magnolia grandiflora, consider dwarf varieties of magnolia. One called "Little Gem" grows to only 20 feet with a spread of 8 feet. Look for "Teddy Bear," a variety that grows about 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Ed Cullen Advocate staff writer Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Russell Sage College Welcomes Director of Athletics and Recreation
Russell Sage College welcomes Danielle Drews as director of athletics and recreation.
Drews joins Russell Sage from NCAA Division III State University of New York at Oswego, where she was head women's volleyball coach since 1991, as well as assistant athletic director and senior woman administrator since 2000. She also served as sports information director from 1991-2000.
"As a student-athlete at Hamilton College who competed against Russell Sage, and then as a coach and administrator at Oswego, I was familiar with Russell Sage's promising athletics program and its solid academic reputation," said Drews. "I am looking forward to building on those strengths and creating more opportunities for alumni involvement in the sports program at Russell Sage."
As volleyball coach, Drews led her team to an NCAA Championship appearance in 1994, was named SUNYAC Coach of the Year in 1991 and 1994, and the New York State Women's Collegiate Athletic Association Coach of the Year in 1994. She has also represented women's volleyball on regional committees for the NCAA, NYSWCAA, and AVCA.
Drews oversaw 13 varsity teams, and coordinated athletic facilities, game management, scheduling, budgeting, and personnel decisions as assistant athletics director and senior woman administrator at Oswego. She will execute similar functions at Sage, managing five varsity sports, several club teams, and an extensive recreation and fitness program.
"We are thrilled to have Dani Drews joining Russell Sage College. We're looking forward to her providing leadership to our program and have already felt her support for the student-athletes and coaches," said Lisa Greiner, senior woman administrator at Sage.
Drews replaces Candice Poiss, who resigned after six years at Russell Sage to serve as a commissioner of the North Eastern Athletic Conference.
Kelli Martin '86 Inducted into Athletic Hall of Fame
The Russell Sage College Athletics Department inducted former softball player Kelli Martin '86 into the Russell Sage Athletics Hall of Fame during a ceremony in May. She is the eighteenth member to be inducted. The ceremony was held in conjunction with the Athletics All-Sports Banquet, which honored all current Russell Sage student-athletes.
Martin, of Ballston Spa, N.Y., was a standout pitcher from 1983-1986. She holds the career records at RSC for earned run average (2.04) and strike outs (99), as well as the singleseason record for earned run average (1.00) in 1984. She is also among the top ten leaders in numerous other single-season and career pitching records. Since graduating, Martin has taught physical education at nearby Broadalbin-Perth High School. She has coached modified and junior varsity softball and volleyball, as well as modified basketball.
Several of Martin's former teammates, as well as former coaches Aggie Stillman and Mary Ellen Clancy (also Hall of Famers), attended the ceremony. Her former coaches described Martin as "a quietly competent leader who was an intelligent, witty, modest, caring, coachable, independent, and fierce competitor."

Today's bible study is Ephesians 4:28: Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
This is an extremely difficult scripture to understand, especially without some historical background. Findlay helps us to understand by telling us: From the lowest dregs of the Greek cities, from its profligate and criminal classes — the gospel had drawn its converts. In the Ephesian Church there were converted thieves; and Christianity had to make of them honest workmen.
With this background of the Ephesians' church, it is a bit easier to consider the concept of stealing, which is explained extremely well by Nicoll, W. Robertson: Stealing was not wholly condemned by ancient heathen opinion. It was even allowed by the Lacedaemonians.
Paul now offers a corrective to stealing, in the words, 'but rather let him be laboring, working with his own hands that which is good, in order that he may be having wherewith to be sharing with the one who is having need.'
With this explanation, perhaps we can better understand the teachings to the Ephesians and consider the difference between busy and idle hands. Many know the old saying, 'Idle hands do the devil's work.' Whether this is true or not is surely debatable and may never be answered but, the converse is very true indeed. And that is that busy hands can do the work of man and of God.
In doing so, we are then encouraged to give freely to those in need. This means much more than dropping a ten dollar bill in the collection plate on Sunday, It means that we reach out with the grace of charity everywhere we see need. Give freely, in the same loving spirit that Jesus himself gave, asking nothing in return.
May we all have the strength to do good works, the grace never to steal but to earn, and the love to live lives o charity as Jesus and His followers did. May we find less pride in our accomplishments in material ways and more joy in them in spiritual ways. May each act of charity, no matter what, where or when it occurs, bring us ever closer to God and to the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. And may Jesus work in us and through us and make us instruments of his grace and love.

Pleasant Grove Creek Trail (South Branch), Roseville, CA
Address of Parking Lot: Veteran's Park,1750 Blue Oaks Blvd, Roseville, CA 95747
Difficulty: Easy
Distance: About one Mile (+/-)
Family and pet friendly
The City of Roseville has provided us with another great place to stretch our legs, play with our dogs and cringe as our kids try to use training wheels for the first time. This is an easy, open trail that gives us the chance to get outside, walk amongst the trees, and best of all, it's close to town. The Pleasant Grove Creek Trail, South Branch, is located off of Blue Oaks Blvd. It sits on the northwest corner of Roseville.
If you are looking for a simple, fun, easy trail so you can blow the cobwebs out of your head - this is it. Get in the car, drive over to Veteran's Park and enjoy the sunshine. The city has given us a wonderful trail; a nice, cleanly paved, two-lane bike path. We saw bikers, hikers, families, and pets all enjoying this trail.
The elevation on the path has little change. Along the Southern Branch, we found no debris or broken pavement on the trail. This is a well maintained path. The bulk of the city's trails have been created in the past decade. The Southern Branch of the trail falls between Veteran's Park and Blue Oaks Park. It's a wonderful path of open spaces filled with stunning oak trees.
After you park at the Veteran's Park, the trail starts as a dirt path heading out from the parking lot. Go past the baseball diamond and continue beyond the basketball court. At this point the trail becomes paved, then passes underneath the bridges on Blue Oaks Blvd. Here you can pass safely underneath the road traffic.
If you are looking for a quick escape into a beautiful area for the family – this is it. It's close to town, free, clean, and friendly. Take a look and bring your lunch. Prepare to spend a day in the sun and enjoy the trees!!

By Mike Grandinetti
From start-ups in Silicon Valley and New York City, to entrepreneurs in India and Africa, the world is witnessing an unprecedented rate of innovation.
For many of these young companies cloud is the technology and strategy behind their inventiveness and the keystone to enabling them to take advantage of the insights, collaboration and scale of things like Big Data, social and mobile.
But they're not deploying any old cloud. For the majority of companies we work with, cloud solutions based on open standards are the leading development platforms. The reason: open standards enable them to scale in the future and avoid the high costs and technical limitations of vendor lock-in.
In many ways, this world of startups, which is typically one of frugality and agility, is perfect for cloud computing, but especially the open cloud. That's because open cloud solutions provide the opportunity for collaboration and transparency that developers require that enables them to come together to build upon and refine an infrastructure or platform.
And it's this very of nature of the open cloud where venture capitalists (VCs) are turning to push the innovation envelope to spot the next hot trend.
Because start-ups are risky by their very nature, starting their business in the cloud makes things simpler from the start. Newer and smaller businesses can use cloud services to get up and running quickly; many cloud services can be turned off or on by a few mouse clicks – quickly discarding tools they don't need and adding those they do at a moment's notice. As a result, costs can be aggressively managed and lowered, opening up the possibility for start-ups to use more of their capital toward their business goals.
While it's no secret that start-ups thrive in dynamic environments, this generation of entrepreneurs enjoy being a part of something – a community – where business owners can connect with outside partners in order to access a much wider range of resources, ideas, talent, and even budgets. Through open innovation partnerships, startups are able to solve complex problems by linking to different groups, such as universities and large businesses, to access ideas otherwise unavailable inside the organization.
Furthermore, this new wave of start-ups, of which app developers are no small portion, have a track-record for choosing open standards platforms that allow them to move up the value stack as they scale. Such platforms provide freedom, choice, flexibility and customizability. At their core, start-ups are innovators – constantly creating and inventing. To a company, they have to be able to pivot on a dime. That's not so simple when locked into a proprietary cloud vendor. The open cloud gives start-ups the ability to not only scale as they grow, but also provide the assurance that when things change, the business can, too.
Venture capitalists typically seek at least a three- or four-times return on their investments, and early-stage investors often target even higher returns because of startups' high rate of failure.
Today, cloud and open stack technologies are well established, and businesses that leverage these capabilities take much less capital to build. In turn, angel-funded startups can go well beyond launching a product to actually expanding their business model and targeting new markets.
From an investor perspective, that means that technology and product risks are somewhat mitigated while initial customer engagement gets well underway – making more and more start-ups 'capital-efficient,' requiring less initial investment and yielding significant returns for investors.
We are witnessing an historic change where the authority over IT spending is continuing to slip away from the CIO to various power centers, such as the CMO's office. Meanwhile, emerging trends, such as the Internet of Things, represent enormous potential for new revenue streams.
That, plus the role of open cloud, has dramatically impacted core economic concepts of quickly delivering business value while driving the entrepreneurial spirit.
This is making the start-up business model more accessible to people with smaller budgets while transforming the level of productivity and accelerating innovation – keys for VCs working to decide where to place their next big bets.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to deliver up. I offer the thoughts above as basic inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you deliver up where crucial thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

Deuteronomy 4:32-40
(Editor's note: This sermon was preached as part of a convocation service at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, the seminary where Dr. Mohler serves as President.)
In Deuteronomy chapter four, we encounter one of the great touchstone passages in all of Scripture. My heart and soul are absolutely struck by the question—a rhetorical question, but a very real question—asked in
What brings us here? What brings us to this institution, to this campus, to this hour? What brings us dressed in academic costumes, ready for learning and study? Something summons us here. There is some mandate, some basis, some foundation.
This is a theological seminary and college. We dare to speak of God. We even dare to define what we do here as Christian education. What an audacious claim! We actually claim that here we teach what God has taught.
There ought to be a bit of humility in recognizing the audacity of that claim. It would be a baseless and a foundationless claim, an incredible claim, if God had not spoken from the midst of the fire and allowed us to hear. On what authority are we here? To dare to speak of these things, we must speak invoking the authority of God, who alone could speak these things, who alone could reveal Himself and tell us what we must know. All this points to a big and inescapable question, the question in fact that haunts the postmodern mind: On what basis can we claim to know anything?
The great philosophical crisis of our day is an epistemological crisis. It's a crisis of knowing, a crisis of knowledge. In particular, it is a challenge for Christianity and for the Christian thinker, the Christian theologian, the Christian minister, the Christian preacher, and the Christian institution. How do we know what we claim to know? How dare we teach what we dare to teach? As Francis Schaeffer well understood (and he took it as the title of his most significant contribution), we speak because He Is There and He Is Not Silent.
I first read that book as a sixteen-year-old, and to be honest, I think the greatest assurance I got from the book is that some smart person believed in God. But even at that age, lacking the vocabulary to understand what I was experiencing, I understood the epistemological crisis. How do we know anything? How can we speak of anything?

Many movie fans go to Amazon to pre-order their latest favorite film, especially Amazon users who have Amazon Prime. You pay the same (or sometimes less) that you would pay at the store and get the movie shipped right to your door the same day (sometimes sooner) that is released to stores – how conveniently cool and lazy is that? Fans of Captain America might have to wait for that pre-order though, Cinemablend reports on Tuesday.
Amazon and Disney are currently on a standoff, Variety broke the news. Captain America's latest adventure, "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," is not being offered at Amazon. Other films affected are "Maleficent," "Muppets Most Wanted," and "Million Dollar Arm."
Amazon offers fans to "sign up to be notified when this item becomes available" for "Maleficent" and "Muppets Most Wanted." But there is no notice or even a landing page for "The Winter Solider" and "Million Dollar Arm."
"Captain America: The Winter Soldier" is scheduled to hit shelves on September 9, while "Maleficent" discs will be released on November 4. Disney's website is directing customers to Walmart and Best Buy for pre-order purchases of the films.
The source also shares that a similar dispute happened between Amazon and Warner Bros. when pre-orders were not available for "The LEGO Movie," "Transcendence," and "300: Rise of an Empire." The two companies worked out their issues, and the same is expected to happen with Disney and Amazon. Disney titles that have already been released are all still available for purchase at Amazon.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Tupelo on Monday awarded $11,500 from private-sector donors and endowments to 13 people named "Teachers of Distinction" in the public school system for 2011, with an independent panel evaluating nominations from across the community.
The tangible affirmation of classroom leadership, which included 10 teachers and three assistant teachers, started with 36 nominees. The award announcements were made at a joint meeting of the Tupelo Rotary and Kiwanis clubs in collaboration with CREATE Foundation, which is the general trustee for the endowments and chief sponsor of the recognition.
The $1,000 and $500 stipends don't match winning he lottery, but they make a strong statement about the community's belief in the importance of quality teaching and the value of retaining and encouraging the best teachers in the system.
Kati Haycock, president of the Education Trust, an authoritative and widely respected education advocacy and policy organization, has said that "the impact of teachers on children is clearest in the research of statisticians and economists who are studying the relationship between individual teachers and the growth students achieve in their classrooms during the school year."
She said, "For many years, most Americans believed that what children learned was largely determined by their family background. They believed that, no matter what schools did, children who came from low-income families with low levels of parental education wouldn't learn very much, while those who came from more affluent and better educated families would excel.
"Research undoubtedly fed this view. … More recent research has, however, turned these understandings upside down. It turns out that some things that schools do matter hugely in whether students learn, or whether they don't. And the thing that matters most is good teaching."
She also said in congressional testimony, "In summarizing available research, Eric Hanushek, an economist at Stanford University, estimated 'the difference in annual achievement growth between having a good and having a bad teacher can be more than one grade level equivalent in test performance.'"
Haycock also said the cumulative impact of teacher quality is biggest for initially low-achieving students. A recent study in Tennessee suggested that students who fail the state's 4th grade examination are six times more likely to pass the graduation examination if they have a sequence of highly effective teachers …"
Sharon Rogers, Robin Maynard, Carmon Dye, Joyce Juarez, Christy Bonds, Lealue Triplett, Christi Wall, Samantha Cox and Kim Noe won teacher awards; Cheryl Barnes, Lorie Murphy and Beth Miller were cited as assistant teachers.
All of them make a positive difference.

The US
Headline: Senate Hearing Draws Out a Rift in U.S. Policy on Syria
To Read: A Washington Post editorial severely criticizes Obama for not listening to his advisors on Syria-
Mr. Obama's reasons for quashing the Syria plan were surely not purely political. But the president's only public explanation for his resistance, in a recent interview with the New Republic, amounted to excuse-making. He wondered why he should concern himself with Syria and not the civil war in the Congo, as if the United States cannot intervene in any war unless it does in all; he asked whether providing weapons to rebels would "trigger even worse violence," ignoring the testimony of his own aides that, under his present policy, the carnage "every day . . . it gets worse," as new Secretary of State John F. Kerry put it.
Quote: "How many more have to die before you recommend military action?", Senator McCain demanding answers about Syria in yesterday's hearing.
Number: 47, the percentage of Iranians who hold the US responsible for the recent sanctions, according to a new Gallup Poll.
Headline: Tensions grow ahead of Netanyahu-Bennett meet
To Read: Yoaz Hendel voices the Israeli fatigue and pessimism about the peace process:
The current political reality in Israel is unclear. Paradoxically, Netanyahu and some segments of the Right have adopted the pragmatic vision of "two states for two peoples," while the Left has adopted the Right's pessimistic outlook, according to which a peace agreement cannot be signed, regardless of the vision.
Quote: 'This behavior is shameful. We cannot accept such racist behavior. The Jewish people, who suffered excommunications and expulsions, need to represent a light unto the nations.'' PM Netanyahu condemning the racism of the fans of Beitar Jerusalem.
Number: 11.8, the percentage decline in the number of High tech ged 45-50 in Israeli start-ups last year.

Headline: Scores Killed in Syria Military Factory Blast
To Read: Mark Lynch examines the problematic aspects of social media in the Arab Spring-
Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook didn't cause the Arab Spring on their own, and they aren't alone to blame for its struggles. I continue to believe that the Internet and social media represent a profound change in the texture of Arab politics, shattering the monopoly over information and opinion upon which those authoritarian regimes depended. The net effects of the empowerment of diverse voices and the free flow of information strike me as positive. But if we believe in the transformative power of these changes, we really can't avoid considering the negatives alongside the positives. And the current state of the Arab revolutions offers us far too many negatives from which to choose.
Quote: "The new round of sanctions ... are designed to put pressure on the nation and to create a gap between the (Iranian) nation and government", Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast blaming the US for meddling in Iranian politics.

Headline: British MP takes back anti-Semitic slur… sort of…
To Read: Alan Dershowitz believes that the attacks he faces when he talks about Israel are aimed at younger academics who have more to lose:
Why then is there such a concerted effort to attack me personally and to question my integrity every time I speak about Israel? It has little to do with me, because my attackers know that I can fight back and that my academic standing will not in any way be influenced by their attacks. The attacks are directed at young academics, without tenure who would dare to speak up on behalf of Israel. The message is clear: If you support Israel, we will attack you like we attack Dershowitz, but you will be hurt much more that Dershowitz would. We will damage your reputation, hurt your student evaluations and decrease your chances for tenure. It should come as no surprise, therefore, that so many pro-Israel young academics refuse to speak up. I know because they call and discreetly tell me about the fear they have that they will be subjected to the same kind of McCarthyite tactics that I am subjected to.
Quote: "The Chief Whip has assured us that Mr Ward's latest comments will be dealt with as a fresh issue. It was made clear that this will be pursued in the context of Mr Carmichael's commitment that if 'anything of this sort' ever happened again the consequences for Mr Ward 'would escalate significantly' beyond the official censure already imposed", the leaders of the JLC reporting the contents of their meeting with the chief whip of the Lib-Dem party concerning the David Ward affair.

A pair of these lovely Lumley Sinature speakers, 3 way with adjustable crossovers. These have:
8" bass speaker and Auxilliary radiator
2 Mid Domes
2 soft dome tweeters
single ribbon tweeter
The latter 3 are open baffle, the bass in a "sealed" unit with ABR at rear.
These cab ne bi wired or jumpered for single amp control. the crossovers are fully adjustable (Bass, Mid, Trebble) to 3 positions taking 3 6 and 12 Db off the output. The speaker is ported via 4 small ports at the rear (bungs provided) and the ABR can be damped by adding extra magnetic puck weights. the outcome of all of this is that the speaker can be "tuned" to almost any room. From the large to the small. I ran these succesfully at Scalford (video on You Tube) in the large Quorn Room and in my listening room (4mx3.5m). They are superb speakers, capable of giving enjoyment at low and high output levels.
The cabs are approx 1.1m high by 30cm width by 40cm depth and weigh 35 to 40 kgs ish - I can just about lift them! A black front baffle and rear panel with Cheery veneer to the remainder (some small peices of veneer missing at edges, not too noticable), spiked feet. The previous owner had the ribbons replaced some 3 years ago and i would hazzard that the speakers are some 10 to 12 years old.
30Hz to 25 Khz
6 Ohms
Power Range 50 to 300W
They retailed new at £4.5k and are as rare as hens teeth. Since i bought these I have seen no others on E Bay and only one pair in a dealers at £1400.
I am asking £800 for these and that includes delivery to a meeting place on the M6 between Carlisle and Lancaster. Once a month or so I travel to Bristol, so may be able to deliver between Barrow and Bristol.
I have the speaker grilles and solid wood grills for transit.
From another owner on tut interweb:
" mine are 4 way with a 8" bass, two 3" mids, 2 soft dome tweeters and 1 gold film super tweeter in the middle. the largest cross over i have ever come across. all the components are top spec. as far as spec`s go you have pretty much no chance of ever finding any. these where the range before the "lampros". the funniest thing about them is the side vents that have a triangular shape in the center to deflect sound out from the rear of the drivers "nice touch" but then they used sealed drivers? m`mm 1080mm tall 400mm deep and 290mm accross so quite a large box. extensively braced internally and not as much volume as you would expect. i thought they would be bigtime in the bass department but they are very nuetral. as they should be, nice crisp mid and a smooth top. anyway that is what my forty year old ears are saying. i like them. cheers"
Will pop up some pics this evening, but this for now

John Zogby
|This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (August 2013) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|John Zogby
|1948 (age 67–68)
Utica, New York
John Zogby (born 1948) founder of the "Zogby Poll" was an American public opinion pollster, author, and public speaker.
Early years[edit]
Zogby grew up in Utica, New York, the son of Lebanese Catholic immigrants. His brother, James Zogby, is the founder of the Arab American Institute.
Zogby received a Bachelor's degree in history from Le Moyne College in 1970 and a Master's degree in history from Syracuse University in 1973.[1] He taught history and political science for 24 years. A trustee of Le Moyne College, Zogby received the Alumni Award in June, 2000. In 2005, he was awarded Honorary Doctorate Degrees from State University of New York and the Graduate School of Union University. In 2009, Zogby received an Honorary Doctorate Degree from the College of St. Rose.[2] In 2008 he was awarded the Chancellor's Distinguished Fellows Award from the University of California Irvine.[3]
|This section of a biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (October 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
An interpreter of politics, Zogby ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Utica, New York, in 1981. He describes himself as a Democrat, while his polling firm was "independent and nonpartisan."[4] He served on the advisory council for Bio-Technology for the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and as a Commissioner on the Center for Strategic and International Studies Commission on Smart Power, after having previously served on the Congressional-created Advisory Group on Public Diplomacy for the Arab and Muslim World.[5]
Zogby International[edit]
Zogby founded the polling firm Zogby International in 1984. Since then, he has conducted polls and focus groups around the world, including the polling of Arab attitudes toward the U.S., particularly in regard to Lebanon. He gained the most publicity for his polls of U.S. presidential elections.[citation needed]
Zogby first gained attention in the 1992 presidential election when he released a survey showing the New York State Governor Mario Cuomo would lose in his home state to incumbent President George H. W. Bush. That poll is widely thought to have pushed Cuomo from the race. Zogby gained more national attention in the 1996 presidential election when his final poll came within a tenth of a point of the actual result. Zogby also correctly polled the cliffhanger result of the 2000 presidential election won narrowly by George W. Bush, in contrast to most other pollsters who had expected Bush to win easily.[citation needed]
Zogby International also achieved success with elections in countries outside the U.S. Zogby correctly called the 2001 Israeli election for Ariel Sharon, the 2000 Mexican election for Vicente Fox, and again in Mexico with the victory of Felipe Calderón in 2006.[citation needed]
In 1998, Zogby began developing an interactive online polling methodology using a massive database of respondents that closely represented the national population at large.[6]
In January 2010 a majority interest in Zogby International was sold to IBOPE Inteligência, a subsidiary of the IBOPE group, a Brazilian multinational company specializing in media, market and opinion research. Zogby remained in the role of chairman of the board, with a nine-year option to sell his interest.[7] The company was renamed "IBOPE Zogby International" in 2011, before Zogby sold his remaining interest in January 2012.[8] IBOPE Zogby was subsequently closed at the end of 2012. [9]
Zogby's polling has been criticised for relying on non-random samples from internet polls, and not being clear about the methodology.[10]
Zogby Analytics[edit]
In February 2012, Zogby joined with his son, Jonathan Zogby, as well as a group of former senior staff members from Zogby International, at a new company called Zogby Analytics (http://www.zogbyanalytics.com).
Public Speaking
As of October 2014, Zogby is a public speaker represented by the American Program Bureau of Boston, and is a contributor to the Forbes.com website.[11][12]
Media appearances[edit]
Zogby hosted a weekly show called "Zogby's Real America," which debuted on XM Satellite Radio's POTUS 08 Channel 130 in September 2007.[citation needed] The show provided commentary and analysis on fresh Zogby polling data though the presidential election in November 2008.[13]
Between February 2010 and November 2012, Zogby contributed articles to the Huffington Post.[14] In May 2010, Zogby published an article titled "The Catholic Church: A Failed Institution?", which featured Zogby International poll results that showed "truly abysmal levels of confidence" in "many historically significant institutions," as expressed by the American participants. Additionally, the results indicated that a quarter of Americans had "no confidence at all" in organized religion.[15]
Accolades and awards[edit]
In 2014, Zogby was awarded the One To World Fulbright Award for Global Understanding.[16]
