Immanuel Kant's approach to philosophy necessitates an ironic relationship with religion. Kant's critical philosophy begins its analysis of epistemology as the author comments on the zeitgeist of the Enlightenment: Our age is, in especial degree, the age of criticism, and to criticism, everything must submit. Religion through its sanctity ... may seek to exempt [itself] from it. But [it] awaken[s] just suspicion, and cannot claim the sincere respect which reason accords only to that which has been able to sustain the test of free and open examination.
In this Critique Of Pure Reason, Kant subjects the foundations of human knowledge (including religious faith) to intense scrutiny, as he endeavors to justify the objectivity of mathematical and scientific knowledge in the face of the radical skepticism and empiricism of David Hume. As noted in the first critique: "it would also have to contain an exhaustive analysis ... Our critique must, indeed, supply a complete enumeration of all the fundamental concepts that go to constitute such pure knowledge." Kant accomplishes this task by means of the 'Copernican revolution' in philosophy: the theory that everyday objects must conform to the laws of the mind, as opposed to the common sense notion that the mind conforms to its respective environment. Due to the structure of sensibility and constancy of human understanding, objects will always appear to us in certain ways. One is thus enabled to make universal scientific judgments that hold reliable for all possible experience or "phenomena." However, from this position it follows that the pure concepts of the understanding do not enable the individual to apprehend "things in themselves," that is, apart from the way in which they appear to his or her senses. Such pure concepts would also be futile in the domain of any supersensible reality, including God, immortality, freedom and anything else deemed "noumena." Hence, it is not surprising that Kant's argument in the Critique Of Pure Reason and the Prolegomena is commonly regarded as "world-crushing" for the traditional proofs of God's existence and all metaphysical speculation. Simultaneously, however, it must be argued that in this critical process, Kant effectively insures the protection of God and religious faith from any form of refutation. Since the mind acts like a "logical prism," constrained by this "language" we have come to know as reason (or the pure categories of judgement), metaphysics and all other supernatural speculation inherently lie outside of the boundaries of human rationality and thus cannot be readily dismissed as mere fabrication. Moreover, Kant ironically holds that the failure of transcendental metaphysics carries with it a highly desirable consequence, as it allows for the possibility of human freedom, insofar as the individual's will is considered as a non-sensible object. In this sense, it seems as though Kant may appropriately be deemed the "savior" of metaphysics. The task of this essay is to illustrate how such an ironic turn of events occurs within Kant's philosophy, and why it is of paramount importance to his ethical thought in the domain of "practical reason."
Philosophers from Plato onward have held that the human mind has direct insight into objects apart from their senses. Kant, however, dismisses such claims to the "intellectual intuition" of objects as a form of mysticism. His fundamental objection is that no existing object can be given to human beings "in itself," for what is given in human intuition is always modified by the manner in which it was received. As noted in the first critique: "[i]f our faculty for knowing makes any such addition, it may be that we are not in a position to distinguish it from the raw material". In other words, the innate, a priori faculties of human reasoning modify the given object in any human experience. As the philosopher notes in the Prolegomena: "[m]y intellect ... is subject to the conditions under which alone it can relate the qualities of things as they exist". Consequently, it is the mind's representation which makes the object possible; it is not the object which makes possible the mental representation. In other words, we can only experience the representation, or appearance of an object, but never the object in itself. This revolutionary epistemological theory introduced the mind as the active originator of human experience, in contrast with the passive recipient of perception from the empiricist tradition (the "tabula rasa" or "blank slate"). As Kant notes: "I say in respect of these laws of the intellect: The intellect does not derive its laws (a priori) from nature but prescribes them to nature." In short, he thus argues that the human mind is related to objects, a priori, through the use of general concepts: In this way, the a priori principles of the possibility of all experience are ... nothing but propositions which subsume all perception under the pure intellectual concepts in accordance with certain guidelines ... they are nothing more than principles of possible experience.
Therefore, such concept-generation is genuinely a priori; it is, in other words, universal, necessary, and prior to or independent of any experience. This fact is a prerequisite for metaphysics as a science, as any such speculation cannot possibly rely on the obvious inconstancies human experience. As noted in the first critique: "[e]xperience teaches us that a thing is thus and so, but not that it cannot be otherwise ... Empirical universality is only an arbitrary extension of a validity holding in most cases to one which holds in all". These generated concepts of pure reason thus serve as legitimate starting-points for a metaphysical investigation, as "[n]ecessity and strict universality are ... sure criteria of a priori knowledge".
Despite this solid beginning, however, Kant's argument holds that the science of metaphysics quickly takes a wrong turn. This problem concerns the "core and specific nature of metaphysics", and is noted in the Prolegomena where it is written that: "[m]etaphysics has to do ... with pure rational concepts which can never be related to any possible experience. Therefore metaphysics has to do with concepts whose objective reality ... cannot be confirmed or discovered by any experience." In other words, the a priori origin of metaphysical concepts suggests that supernatural ideas apply to objects that are independent of sense-experience, and thus, metaphysics is an invalid basis for any secure knowledge: Therefore pure intellectual concepts have no meaning whatever when they refer to things in themselves (noumena) instead of objects of experience ... My intellect, which is subject to the conditions under which alone it can relate the qualities of things as they exist, prescribes no rules for the things in themselves; these things do not conform to my intellect, but my intellect must conform to them.
In Kant's terminology, metaphysicians, such as Plato, Descartes and St. Augustine, have used these concepts "transcendently" in a vain attempt at gaining access to "hyper-physical," noumenal objects. In other words, what follows from the traditional proofs for God's existence, such as the "I think, therefore I am" argument, is an inevitable crisis within the crux of the metaphysical inquiry: "[t]hese unavoidable problems set by pure reason itself are God, freedom, and immortality."
It is thus safe for Kant to conclude that the applicability of pure concepts to noumenal objects is a type of illusion, and it is the exposure of this truth which ultimately spells the end to conventional metaphysics. "Since we cannot deal with transcendental ideas and since transcendental ideas will never allow themselves to be realized, they serve to show us ... the actual boundaries of the use of pure reason". The legitimate use of one's a priori categories is thus restricted to objects in space and time, or in other words, the objects of phenomenal sense-experience. Hence, in attempting to extend the categories of judgment beyond the field of sensible objects, one gives rise to the fallacy that a priori concepts can be used intuitively to bridge the gap between noumena and phenomena. What follows from Kant's metaphysical critique is a practical implication for philosophers: we must simply give up any pretense to scientific knowledge of some ultimate or unconditioned object. In other words, "as soon as we have left the ground of experience, we should ... not [make] use of any knowledge that we propose to erect". Although it may be useful to assume that there is such an entity as a thing in itself, its existence can never be proven. Hence, the permanent gap between the noumenal and phenomenal worlds is a sobering reality of the boundaries of pure reason, and consequently of the failure of any knowledge of God beyond faith.
On the other hand, however, it must be understood that the existence of such noumena cannot be disproved either. Kant is very careful to note that just because the existence of things in themselves cannot be proven, it does not follow that one is capable of refuting such noumenal entities. "Therefore metaphysics has to do with concepts ... and with assertions whose ... falsity cannot be confirmed or discovered by any experience." What then, is the significance of this Kantian move? It does seem like the philosopher is attempting to play both sides of the fence on this theological issue, yet indeed Kant has secured a comfortable spot for religious faith in the midst of the metaphysics under fire. In short, God has successfully entered through the back door of this highly critical system.
Essentially, this position should be taken as another means of reconciling the: "[t]wo things [which] fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the more often and steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me." In other words, this is another move by Kant to assert that we can be certain of the foundations of the highly "causal" physical sciences, and simultaneously believe that we are rational, moral agents whose actions are not merely predicted in accordance with deterministic laws. Hence, Christian theology can still be reconciled in a world that is seemingly governed by physics, chemistry, and biology. How then would Kant have reacted to the "God is dead," post-Darwinian, atheistic attitude of the latter nineteenth century? Certainly, he would not justify evolutionary theory and other such scientific claims as a legitimate deathblow to the existence of God: But it would be even more absurd not to admit that [there might be] things in themselves, or to suggest that our kind of experience is the only possible method of knowing objects, in other words, to pretend that our way of looking at things in space and time is the only possible way, and that our discursive intellect is the prototype of every possible intellect.
The proposition that there is no "Supreme Being" is out of the field of all possible human experience, and is also therefore beyond the limits of human insight. Simply put, if metaphysics is not possible as a science, atheism is not possible as a science. Kant's position is thus highly compatible with his own Christian-Pietist upbringing; his legacy to intellectual history allows an individual of the world to be a man of science and religion simultaneously. After all, the scientific principle of non-contradiction is nothing other than a logical notion; it is the cornerstone of a "language" that originates in the structures of the human mind. Indeed, the traditional notions of God's existence give rise to logical paradoxes that may seem threatening to theology, but they do not necessarily produce metaphysical absurdities. In other words, God's existence remains an undeniable and irrefutable possibility, as "[t]he intellect does not derive its laws [of reason] (a priori) from nature but prescribes them to nature ... and our kind of experience is [not] the only possible method of knowing objects". In short, Kant argues that although "it is thoroughly necessary to be convinced of God's existence, it is not quite so necessary that one should demonstrate it."
Thus, in no way does Kant merely discard this so-called, pseudo-science of metaphysics. For "[i]t can be just as little expected that the spirit of man will ever give up metaphysical investigations as that we should stop breathing." Although useless as a system for secure knowledge, transcendental concepts can indeed serve as "regulative ideals" in the mundane phenomenal realm. In spite of the fact that no knowledge of God, immortality and freedom is possible, one can form such concepts as "things in themselves" in order to meet his or her individual, rational needs: Thus the transcendental ideas, if they do not instruct us positively, at least serve to repudiate the audacious assertions of materialism, naturalism and fatalism that narrowly restrict the field of reason. At the same time, these ideas produce a place for moral ideas outside the sphere of [mere] speculations.
Hence, Kant's argument ironically holds that the failure of transcendent metaphysics carries with it a highly desirable consequence: it allows for the possibility of human freedom, insofar as the human will is considered as a non-sensible object. In effect, a belief in God can serve as a "symbolic anthropomorphism which, as a matter of fact, only concerns the language and not the object." In other words, "the Supreme Being ... is adequately defined for our purposes, although we have left out everything that could determine this conception generally and in itself." Kant is thus able to maintain an ironic, yet logically consistent relationship between his epistemological, moral, and metaphysical systems.
Moreover, Kant's argument holds that ethics are insufficient when placed in the domain of nature, as "[n]othing can possibly be conceived in the world, or even of it, which can be called good without qualification, except a GOOD WILL." If left alone in the phenomenal world, such a will would be contingent upon the outside forces of sense perception. In other words, there would be no a priori or universal basis for morality. Furthermore, for the possibility of ethics in general, man has to take as a basic assumption that he is free to choose between good and evil. Thus, Kant shifts the focus from morality as natural phenomenon, to the super-sensible, noumenal realm. In other words, humans must act as if they were totally free, even though freedom "in itself" is a complete unknown. For Kant, the possibility of such a thought as a "thing in itself" implies that the subject is free to act as an intelligent or rational being. Hence, "practical reason" is not freedom itself but an effect of freedom. In short, the moral law gives the phenomenal world the form of reason; human experience becomes a supersensible system, and the subject becomes a member of an intelligent community endowed with free-causality.
So much then, for the "practical" benefits that result from the failure of metaphysics as a genuine science. This essay has demonstrated how it is thus safe to conclude that the ironic twists within Kantian metaphysics give rise to a highly compatible philosophical system. In short, this argument has shown that one may appropriately deem the philosophy of Kant as both the "world-crusher" and "world-savior" of metaphysics.
Did you funky up the writing and grammar to make it look like you didn't copy this from an encyclopedia?
Besides, you use a definition for "atheism" that most atheists reject:
an atheist is someone who simply lacks a god belief, for whatever reason.
How can that be dogmatic?

My blind date, Scott, likes college hoops, '80s TV and helping others. I like his cute tuchus. I'm thinkin' we'd make a fine pair of Jews. We stray from the first date playbook and follow a Santa Monica dinner with a Main Street stroll. As we walk past yet a third unique boutique on our way to get dessert (that we don't want) and more time together (which we do), Scott says those three little words that can rock a girl's world. "There's my car."
It's a PT Cruiser -- washed and waxed today, valid registration, parked less than 12 inches from the curb. No fuzzy dice, high school tassel or pine-scented Playmate air freshener. The car doesn't scream "show-off" or "shady," Speed Racer or gas guzzler. What it screams is middle-aged dad. More specifically -- my dad.
Yup, Mr. Davis, father of four, head of the Davis tribe, the abba figure, my partner at the Brownie father-daughter square dance, drives a PT Cruiser. My dad and my date sport the same ride. That throws my night in reverse.
Not that there's anything wrong with a Cruiser. It's no Barbie Dream Corvette, but it's a reliable car, fun design, decent gas mileage. An acceptable set of wheels for Scott, the San Francisco transplant who triumphed in the face of parallel parking. An unacceptable drive for Scott, the guy I'm crushing on. 'Cuz it's my dad's car. The one he drives to work. The one he drives to shul. The one he motors to Home Depot in. The one he cruises for bagels in. Not exactly Hot Wheels.
I try to get over it. Think lovely thoughts. Picture a happy place. Separate the two. My dad's car is eggplant; Scott's car is black. My dad's has a no-spill coffee cup; Scott hates coffee. My dad sits in the driver's seat; Scott and I will make out in the backseat. Gulp. I can't get down in the back of my father's car. Someone call a tow, this date just ran out of gas.
I'm serious. We are stalled. I like my date, I love my dad, but this can't work. I know it's not nice to judge a man by his stick shift, but I can't do a second date with Scott. Steering the same wheels as my Dad is a first date dealbreaker.
Don't shake your head at me. Everyone's got a catalog of relationship red flags. My dealbreakers include, but are not limited to (suitors read the fine print): men who wear jewelry and man sandals or call our waiter "chief." Guys who don't watch sports, walk me to my car or get my writing. Dates who check their cell phone, Blackberry or hair during dinner. Boys who dip or smoke, or aren't smoking hot.
I'm not talking about what shampoo to buy, what thread count to sleep on or whether to go with red or white maror. We're talking about a date, a possible relationship, a potential life partner, hello -- a Saturday night. I don't have time to waste on a mismatch. Dealbreakers are dating shorthand; they tell us when a potential is a pass.
It's like last fall -- my Brentwood hairdresser set me up with her client. We met at Barney's Beanery to grab a beer and catch a game. Our date was over before the kickoff was returned. I barely opened the menu when he said "What are you gonna get? My ex and I used to come here and get pizza. Half green pepper, half pineapple. Let's get that. I'm sure you're up for it."
I'm not up for it, down with it or into it. Why would I care what you ate with your ex? Why would you bring it up? Do you still like her? Do you plan to woo her back with our leftovers? It's bad enough that this joker pays $50 for a haircut. But asking me to order his ex's favorite dish is a blatant first-date dealbreaker. Go directly to date jail, buddy, do not collect $200. His request was self-centered, thoughtless and rude, just like Scott driving my dad's car. Huh ... actually those two things are nothing alike. One is a character flaw, the other a coincidence. One is inexcusable, the other just not-so-sexy. And by not-so-sexy I mean not sexy at all. But still, my hang-up is not drawn to scale.
So Scott drives my dad's car, it's not like I'm perfect. I talk loudly. I talk too much. I interrupt. I ask the waiter what I should order. I have a story for everything. I tell stories twice. I always get cold. I bite my nails. And I'm still talking.
I want someone to take my first date flaws with a grain of kosher salt -- Scott seems like the kind of guy who might. Actually, Scott seems like the kind of guy who's great. Maybe I should give him a second chance. Maybe I should say yes to that second date. Maybe dealbreakers were meant to be broken.
But if he wears white pants has hand hair or uses the phrase "irregardless," I'm so out of there.

We are saddened by the news of Guru's death, his career with Gangstarr and Jazzmatazz is an integral part of the legacy and history of Giant Step. "Jazz Thing" was one of the first records we ever played and it became an anthem of our fledgling movement. In '93, Guru chose Giant Step to first debut his Jazzmatazz project and we had the pleasure of presenting many of Gangstarr's early New York shows, with many more to come.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and loved ones, music has truly lost a pioneer.

Our show with José James this weekend was a great success. José and his band were on point with their blend of classic jazz structures, experimental sounds and hip hop rhythms. Jordana de Lovely sang background vocals, providing a nice feminine counterpart to José's smooth deep voice.
Between songs, José made sure to thank his major influences and collaborators, including Flying Lotus and Taylor McFerrin. He noted Nancy Wilson, Dinah Washington (and many more) after his version of "Save Your Love For Me," and expressed his dedication to Billy Strayhorn before launching into "Lush Life." Overall, José and the band wowed the audience with various tracks from Blackmagic and a couple tracks off his upcoming project with Jef Neve on Impulse, For All We Know.
Enjoy the photos, and a big thank you to those of you who came out!

In an interview with "The Buzz" which aired on ABS-CBN last Sunday, June 8, 2014, Judy Ann Santos, tagged as the young superstar in the local showbiz industry, revealed that the pop princess Sarah Geronimo and hunk actor Matteo Guidicelli are happy with each other's company. Reports said Judy Ann made her statement when asked by "The Buzz" to share some important moments regarding the double dates she had with the rumored couple.
Some people were surprised when they saw the hunk actor mingling with Judy Ann and Ryan Agoncillo, but for some observers who are following the pop princess' career and love life, Matteo was there because of Sarah Geronimo. Reports claimed that he became a friend to Judy Ann and Ryan when he started courting the "Maybe This Time" star.
That was a year ago, today, things have changed because even though they are keeping their silence regarding their relationship, a lot of people still believe that they are officially on. And based on the narration of Judy Ann on "The Buzz" last Sunday, popsters' presumption is true and correct.
Despite Judy Ann's revelation, Matteo Guidicelli remained calm when asked about his relationship with his princess. Meanwhile, due to their displayed happiness, many of their fans and supporters are now calling the attention of Star Cinema and Viva Films, two major film outfits that produced all the movies of pop princess Sarah Geronimo, to come up with a better script and tap Matteo Guidicelli as the leading man of their idol Sarah.
They said this is the right time for the management to produce a film starring the rumored couple after the success of "Maybe This Time". Anyway, Sarah Geronimo still has unfinished business with her favorite leading man John Lloyd Cruz. In one of her interviews in the past, Malou Santos, one of the bosses of Star Cinema, confirmed that Sarah and John Lloyd will do the fourth sequel of the movie "A Very Special Love."

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex is a platform game for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Nintendo GameCube video game consoles. The game is the sixth installment in the Crash Bandicoot series, but it's the fourth chronologically. The gameplay follows a very similar pattern to previous titles, with only par slight alterations in level design and move set. Crash can learn all his moves from Warped in addition to a new sneak move, which allows him to sneak over explosive Nitro Crates. Crash's sister, Coco, is also fully playable, and for the first time, has her own set of moves. There are many vehicles available, including a 4x4, a plane, and an Aliens-esque robot suit.
Set straight after the events of Warped, the story begins somewhere outside Earth's orbit, where we see Doctor Neo Cortex's evil space station base. Inside it, Uka Uka adds destructive masks with the power over Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. If they unleashed their destructive energy, they'll have enough power to bring Cortex's secret weapon to life. They would have a weapon capable of crushing mountains, demolishing entire cities, and wiping Crash Bandicoot off the face of the Earth forever.

Schools Superintendent Vincent Colaluca and board of education member Harold Porter say they will work out their differences to move toward a better Austintown school district.
Last month Porter sent an email to Colaluca and the school board, calling for the superintendent's resignation. In it, Porter called Colaluca a "dictator" and an inadequate leader.
Colaluca responded with a written letter of his own, distributed at the Sept. 19 board meeting, that states Porter publicly made "false and defamatory statements about me."
Since then Colaluca said he's reached out to Porter to try to work out their issues.
"I never had an issue with Mr. Porter, but do I have an issue with someone asking for my resignation? Sure I do," Colaluca said. "Can we move past it and move forward? Yes we can."
Porter said he stands by his comments but is willing to move on for the sake of the school district.
"I can professionally work together with him, and I will not jeopardize the integrity of the district to keep a feud going," he said. "I will pledge not to publicly go after him, but my feelings are still the same."
Colaluca said he and the board need to maintain focus on what matters the most: students.
"My responsibility is to take care of the district as a whole," he said. "We've cut costs without taking away services or academic programs."
Colaluca said the district tried other methods to raise or save money, such as pay-to-participate sports, but it wasn't the right thing then and isn't the right thing now.
"For our community, with our demographics, pay-to-play and reducing busing doesn't work," he said. "We needed to find other ways to make the adjustments."
Teachers and staff have had to bear the brunt of the cuts to maintain the current level of academic services, the superintendent added.
"When it comes to our staff, have we made some adjustments that make it tougher on them? Yes," he said. "The feeling that 'the job has gotten harder over the years and I've not gotten more pay,' is true."
Colaluca said wage freezes, reductions in force and reductions in busing hours have been an unfortunate necessity to keep Austintown's academics on the rise. He said that even through the hardships, the district achieved a milestone on this year's state report cards by meeting 26 of 26 performance indicators for the first time.
"People are stepping up and doing the work," he said. "Hopefully, when these report cards come out, they'll feel a sense of pride and accomplishment."
.Mr. Porter and Mr. Colaluca may have called a truce, but what about the Austintown Community. A petition was passed around and I am one that agrees wants Mr. Colaluca to step down or the Board to remove him from his position. There has been a lot of wasted money in the school system, as an example, the school board has elected to pay $32K to a marketing firm out of Teledo to redesign the school logo. What was wrong with the other logo? If they wanted to come up with a new design, why pay someone else to design it? Why not use the talents of our students? What about enlisting the students from the Mahoning County Career and Technical School? There are other ways to come up with that would not have cost the district any money. The design could have been submitted by students and voted on by the students. This gives the students more pride in their school. This money could have been used for better things. It seems that the first thing to go in any budget is the health care benefits of the employees. So what did they do? They cut the bus drivers hours by 1/2 hour just so they did not have to pay benefits. Some of these employees have been with the school district for years and have now lost everything. The more common sense thing to do, would be to continue benefits for all current employees, but when hiring new employees, make the cuts at that time. Do away with open enrollment as it has cause a burden on our school system. No tax money for these individuals and most are on free or reduced meals. We are losing money! At the end of the school year last year it was addressed about bullying that was going on and nothing was done about it. I do know one thing and that if the Austintown School Board does not force Mr. Vince Colaluca to resign, I know I will not be Voting for ANY new school levies and I will not Voting for any of these Board Members when they are up for reelection. Mr. Colaluca states that he has not received at pay raise. I'm sure when the financial report comes out it will show otherwise and what about his benefits. He should have his benefits cut if he is going to cut others. He stated at the last meeting that he "WOULD NOT BE STEPPING DOWN". That's not up to him, it's up to the community and I believe the community has spoken. I also think the School Board needs to adopt a policy that if you are going to be employeed in top positions in this district you must also live in the district. And if your are on the School Board, you should have students in the school district. They are not supporting our students only their own agenda. Austintown Residency need to take a stand and help remove Mr. Colaluca and next year not re-elect the 3 board members currently on the school board!

I've put all of my effort to making the map beautiful and as much exciting as possible. There will be plenty of things for you to do. You can follow quests, or just do whatever you want. Either way, you should start with a new character (and in high quality of graphics shading). Please post me some feedback, so I can know that you like it or not, or what would you like to see changed or added... Have a good time! Unexpected news! I'm starting to work on a 3rd generation of this map, which will be even more awesome then before! I have a vision! Somehow I will try to implement even more biomes into this map, make it wider than it is, so we don't have to deal with the annoying side-huging at all. Also, we will have to find a way to defeat the WoF in such a thin map. Hmm... But don't expect done in 1 week. I'm gonna put my heart to it. <3 Also I'm looking for some testers. Let me know if you could help with the project. Edit: Will do, I promise - but I'm too busy these days. Don't worry, I will always get back to Terraria once in a while...

It was a dominating performance at both ends of the ice last night as the hockey team bounced back from Friday's loss for a 6-0 win at Vermont on Saturday. It was just the 2nd career shutout for goalie Paul Dainton and the first ever for the Minutemen at Gutterson Fieldhouse since 1964. Four skaters had multi-point nights led by T.J.

President Sarkozy kicked off his campaign for re-election last night with a promise to wrench power from the Parisian elite and return it to the French people.
Mr Sarkozy, who is trailing far behind François Hollande, the Socialist candidate, in the polls, formally declared himself a candidate in an interview on the TF1 channel.
"My central commitment, if the French have faith in me to preside over them again, is to give power back to the French people through referendums," he said.
However, his campaign launch was hit by a row that erupted over a claim by an MP in

do men like women who are real and honest about how they are feeling?
by drking on Jul.13, 2011, under Numerology Love
Question by Marti49: do men like women who are real and honest about how they are feeling?
I decided I had nothing to lose after my German man came to see me. He is going back to Germany this Friday, currently in another city. I sent him two emails straight from the heart. He has been deeply hurt in the past and has been taken financially. I got into his heart and now he wants to make sure we are a "good fit". European men are very different as they are all about emotions. I am deeply in love with this man. My problem is (and nothing changes about issues no matter what age you are!!) I am now worried that he is upset as he has not indicated by email or otherwise that he is okay with the emails. He told me he was going to phone me before he left on Friday. It is Wednesday. He has asked me to wait and yes, he did tell me he loves me. He believes in numerology by the way and that is the reason he wants to sort things out. I am an Aries like his ex wife (who took a lot of his money). My daughter is telling me he is just scared.

Dear Cliff Walker,
A good friend, Dr. Gil Gaudia, suggested that I send you a copy of a short response I e-mailed to Jerry Falwell after his disgraceful commentary on the 600 Club:
"Dr." Falwell, Your opinions are a disgrace. You sound as out of touch as the assassins. How could a so-called Christian spout prejudices as hateful as a Hitler? You need to sit down and think about what your hateful rhetoric is doing to the simple-minded people who listen to you. You and the people who think like you are dangerous to this country. Shame on you!

Whether or not travel time is compensable depends on the kind of travel involved. There are three categories of travel time:
- Commuter Travel
- Single-Day Travel
- Multi-Day Travel (includes Travel Time ETO)
See the Related Subjects section at the end of this policy for examples of recording travel time appropriately.
This policy applies to all SPA employees, both permanent and temporary. However, certain elements of this policy apply only to some SPA employees, as defined below.
Commuter Travel
For any employee, commuting time from the employee's home to the employee's regular work location and back is not considered compensable time. "Home" is considered any location of origin for the commute that is at the employee's discretion.
Single-Day Travel
Single-day work-related travel and/or travel to an alternate work location is considered work time, less the time that would have contributed to the employee's regular work commute.
For FLSA non-exempt employees, both permanent and temporary, single-day work-related travel contributes to time worked in calculating overtime eligibility.
Multi-Day Travel – Work Time
Multi-day travel is work-related travel that requires at least one overnight stay away from the employee's home or home community.
For multi-day work-related travel, any travel occurring during the employee's regular work schedule is considered work time. In addition, any travel time occurring during the same "hours of the clock" on a day that is not a regularly scheduled work day is also considered work time.
For example: For an employee regularly scheduled to work 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, travel time on Sunday between 8 AM and 5 PM would be considered during the same "hours of the clock".
Both types contribute to time worked in calculating overtime eligibility for FLSA non-exempt employees, both temporary and permanent.
Management may adjust an employee's schedule for the same work week to accommodate these hours and not incur liability for overtime pay.
Multi-Day Travel — Travel Time ETO
Any travel time occurring outside these "hours of the clock" (less the employee's regular commute and/or meal periods) is not considered time worked. However, SPA permanent employees may receive Travel Time Equal Time Off (ETO) for these hours.
Travel Time ETO is required for permanent SPA non-exempt employees and is at management's discretion) for permanent SPA exempt employees.
Temporary and EPA employees are not eligible for Travel Time ETO and do not receive compensation for travel time outside regular work hours as defined in above in "Multi-Day Travel — Work Time".
Travel Time ETO does not contribute to time worked for determining overtime eligibility and will not be offset by any additional time worked during the work week. See "Determining Time Worked" in the Related Subjects section below.
Travel Time ETO is earned on a hour-for-hour basis. The maximum accrual is 240 hours (pro-rated for part-time employees).
For SPA non-exempt permanent employees:
- Any hours in excess of 240 (pro-rated) must be paid out for SPA permanent non-exempt employees as it is earned.
- Travel Time ETO must be used within 12 months (52 weeks) of its accrual, or it must be paid out.
For SPA exempt permanent employees:
- Any hours in excess of 240 (pro-rated) are forfeited.
- Travel Time ETO must be used within 6 months (26 weeks) of its accrual, or it is forfeited.
- See "Leave/PTO Payouts & Transfers" for more information.
For Departments Using the Time Information Management (TIM) System:
Implementation of the Time Information System (TIM) to track work hours, special pay, and leave for University employees began its phased implementation in August 2007. See "TIM Website" in the Related Subjects section below for information on recording Travel Time ETO.
Employee groups not yet moved into the TIM system follow the recordkeeping structure defined below.
For Departments Using Employee Time Records:
For permanent SPA non-exempt employees who complete an Employee Time Record:
Travel Time ETO accrued during the pay cycle shall be indicated in the "Explanation" section of the document and tracked separately by the school/division's HR Office or the department's TIM Administrator.
Travel Time ETO used as paid leave during the pay cycle shall be coded on the Time Record with a "T" in the Code column.
For permanent SPA exempt employees:
Accrual and use of Travel Time ETO shall be recorded and tracked by the school/division's HR Office or the department's TIM Administrator.
See also "Leave/PTO Payouts & Transfers"
For questions about recording travel-related time on a Time Record, or if you have questions about your leave balances, contact your department's TIM Administrator or your school/division's HR Office, or visit the TIM website (listed below).
If you have questions about this policy, contact the Classification and Compensation Specialist in the Office of Human Resources assigned to work with your department.

Amid the glamour and glitter of the Fashion for Paws® Runway Show fundraiser April 12, a service dog wearing a "Disabled Vet" vest stole the hearts of the crowd.
German shepherd Axel "saved my life," Marine Capt. Jason Haag, a retired veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, told me. "We save them from shelters, and they save us," said Haag, whose dog helps him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain injury (TBI). He's a board member of K9s For Warriors.
At Fashion for Paws (F4P), many of the 1,000-strong crowd gathered around Haag and Axel at the elegant reception and dinner, while other K9s prepared for their close-ups on the catwalk at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.
The sold-out event (watch video), one of the area's most fun fundraisers, raised more than $417,000 to benefit the Washington Humane Society (WHS). America's only Congressionally chartered animal welfare agency, WHS was established in 1870.
The privilege of strutting their stuff had to be earned, by raising at least $5,000 dollars per human and canine model team. The top model raised more than $31,000; two others raised more than $25,000; among the ten teams that each brought in more than $11,000 for the WHS.
Several of the dogs had modeled in the seven previous F4P, like Lani, a gorgeous Husky, Malamute, and Akita mix. Her "Queen Pink" outfit, tailor-made for the lovely Lani by Mallory Hancock of Regal & Pooch, was a pink quilted robe with a high collar in white and silver.
"She's a once-in-a-lifetime dog. Very smart, loving, and doesn't give me one moment of trouble. The wonderful companionship and love of a dog is good for everyone's soul," opined her proud papa, Assistant U.S. Attorney Bernie Delia, who practices criminal law.
Lavender, a Yorkie, wore lavender glitter ear adornments, plus an orange dress with white appliqué. Lavender had been completely paralyzed by a neck injury only four months ago, but is now fully mobile, thanks to intense treatments by neurologist/neurosurgeon Lauren Talarico, who walked her patient down the aisle. Lauren and Lavender raised more than $14,000 for F4P.
Also prancing to the blasting tunes of "I'm Addicted to You", "Let the Music Play", and other apt tunes were:
- Top model fundraiser Roux, whose white fur was swathed with a moss green brocade coat decorated by tiny mirrors, evoking a Rajasthan, India style. She was adopted from WHS last summer by Lita Frazier, who serves as Executive Director of Chicago Board Options Exchange, the world's largest options exchange.
- Frank, whose curly mocha fur was enhanced by a gold glittering collar, was definitely camera-ready. He strode to the front of the runway, sat and posed for the dozens of cameras, wagged his tail, and retreated reluctantly.
- Only a few of the dogs balked, and none barked. One tiny pooch in a pink net tutu was pulled along and then carried by her human model. And Layla, a pit bull in a blue tutu with dark blue rosette and sparkle, was hoisted by her human dad.
- A shocking pink and magenta tutu with glitter was worn by Sephora, who tried to shake off the matching ribbons in her hair. Or was that just a hair flip to seduce audience members.
- The pink sequins on Alfred's bow tie and black tux matched its pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness.
- Rusty's luxuriant milk chocolate-colored fur was brilliantly offset by his rhinestone-encrusted inches-wide collar.
- Henri, a French bulldog, sported a patchwork jacket in various blue hues.
- Yorkie Tyson's bronze sparkling jacket blended with his human companion's skin-tone mini beneath black lace and tulle.
Not that audience members cared what mere human models wore, but they were dressed grandly by Tysons Galleria.
The canine designs were by two designers: Lisa Schreiber, whose Wagtime has two locations that offer the "cool stuff" as well as boarding, daycare, and grooming, and by Mallory Hancock, who debuted the spring line of her Regal & Pooch, and her custom LUX label jackets, like Maggie's stretch denim ditty with Swarovski crystals lining the seams.
Hancock gave me this tip before dashing backstage to "dress" five of the dogs. "Metallics and pearls, always -- you can never go wrong," Her Pomeranian, Moosey, wore Hancock's "Jacket Onassis", pure silk dripping with pearls.
Moosey wore Hancock's doggie silver lamé hoodie at the WHS annual "Sugar & Champagne" fundraiser last February.
The next WHS fundraisers include:
- Doga -- do the downward dog and other yoga with your dog on May 10.
- The 27th annual Bark Ball, June 14 -- the city's only black-tie event where dogs are welcomed. Black tie is optional for dogs, but leashes are required.
The organization "helps more than 43,000 abused, abandoned, neglected animals each year. We support them and gives them the voice they need," WHS President and CEO Lisa LaFontaine told the audience. "These animals have a limitless ability to forgive and to love."
LaFontaine pronounced the event "filled with fabulosity."
And as Will Rogers said, "I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons." What a welcome relief in Washington.
For more info: Fashion for Paws® Runway Show, Omni Shoreham Hotel, 2500 Calvert Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. Washington Humane Society, www.washhumane.org. Watch videos of F4P. Next WHS fundraisers: Doga, yoga with your dog May 10, and the 27th annual Bark Ball, June 14. K9s For Warriors, fundraising gala June 28, Omni Shoreham Hotel.

Thank you for you interest in our venue. There are only a few more wedding dates available for 2016. We are now accepting reservations for 2017. Reservations for showers are still being accepted.
The "White Barn" is a 100 year old tobacco barn that has been fully renovated. The main interior floor is 42 X 30 feet with a loft level that measures 12 X 24 feet. The backside of the barn opens out to a 13 X 40 foot covered deck that overlooks our ponds and vineyard. The barn and winery are wheelchair accessible. Use your mouse and arrow keys on the picture below to take a virtual tour of the barn.
The barn seats 104 guests for dinner while the adjoining covered deck seats an additional 20 if needed. We have nearly 2 acres of lawn that gently slopes down to two ponds. A slate patio connects the barn deck to both the winery's covered front porch and rear patio. The gazebo near the ponds could be used for ceremonies or photos if you so desire. Inside the barn features new wood floors on both levels and new wiring throughout. It is still wood sided and much of the original wood is visible from within, giving it a beautiful, rustic, and authentic look. Restrooms were constructed in 2014 (no more port-a-potties!) bringing a level of modern convenience to the otherwise retro venue.

Before I get going on helping give you the light of the matter for this week, I want to quickly share and reflect on the past year of East Side Storytellin' (a bi-monthly event that I help put together with some very talented and unique Nashville artists).
Starting with The Smoking Flowers at Rumours East last November 6th, Carolina Story at Fat Bottom Brewing in the middle, and finishing this set of the 1st anniversary of East Side Storytellin' with Old Hazelwood at Mad Donna's this past October, enjoy every track that Tom Eizonas gave me from pretty much every show in between. We're just getting started with East Side Storytellin' but WOW what a start!!!!! Feel free to like, burn, and share to spread the LOVE. Thanks to everyone involved!
Our next East Side Storytellin' is next Tuesday, November 19th, at 7pm, at Mad Donna's (1313 Woodland Street), with featured poet Nicole Branigan and musician Kim Logan. Starts promptly and is finished by 8:30pm. See this link and help spread the word-
Speaking of dates and happy memories, here's a fantastic East Side Storytellin' alum on the rise in The Rough & Tumble. Last week, on November 4th, I was on a trip home with my family after celebrating a life-changing event happily together. This week, a week later, I give you evidence from Mallory and Scott to show just how important the 4th of November was/is. Give a listen and watch to the fun new video called "4th of November." See this link and LIKE it and share -
Tommorow, Tuesday, November 12th, from 6-8:30pm (London Time), if you are down to spread the word or wanna get a ticket to fly over the big pond and hit up London to see Chelsea space and the very first UK exhibition dedicated to the American letterpress art of Hatch Show Print, you are in luck! There will be a private viewing with live music from Nashville's Ned Luberecki (banjo) and Stephen Mougin (guitar). With the help of of curator/collector Jason Brown, Hatch Show Print is primed to make a HUGE splash on the Brit's art world. The exhibition itself will provide a rare opportunity to view archive material and stunning posters from this world-renowned producer of letterpress design and explore the importance of the art of the poster in the history of communication. Whether you make it to www.chelseaspace.org or not, this is a big-freakin' deal to know about and celebrate some local artists doing good.
Also tomorrow, a little closer to home, Honest Lewis is yet again hosting another FREE "A Night of Free Speech" at Logue's Black Raven Emporium for a night of poetry, prose, rants, and manifestos from 7-10pm (2915 Gallatin Road). Again, you better get there early if you plan on signing up to read in front of a positive prose posse. Just saying, it is a good time had by all.
Also also tomorrow, over at Fort Houston (500 Houston Street), The Beehive Design Collective (a non-profit arts and activism organization dedicated to ''cross-pollinating the grassroots" -www.beehivecollective.org) is partnering with Nashville Folk + Free Skool and Fort Houston to share their recently completed work called "Mesoamerica Resiste." Translation services will be provided (English-Spanish) for the final installment in a trilogy of graphics that began with posters about Free Trade and the Drug War. It is a collaboratively produced, educational illustration was created through an intensive and ongoing process of grassroots research. This is a pretty deep, impactful, and enlightening exhibition that will help change your wold and view of it for the better- no question. It begins at 7pm, is FREE, and open to the public.
On Wednesday, November 13th, come back over to Logue's Black Raven Emporium for Coney Island Rock n' Roll Roadshow returning to Nashville. A night packed full of entertainment, Coney Island style, there will be bands, burlesque, and sideshows! What else do you want on a Wednesday?
Jumping to Thursday, November 14th, at Lipscomb University's John C. Hutcheson Gallery, there will be an opening reception for Brooklyn-based artist Katie Bell at 6pm. Bell will present a gallery talk as part of the University's Visiting Artist Program. Bell uses salvaged building materials from homes - carports, flooring, window shades, etc. - and organizes the materials into abstract, cool compositions.
Friday, November 15th, from 5:30-8:30pm, over at Bennett Galleries (2104 Crestmoor Road), this is a special note for you to know about a fun evening of art, snacks, and cocktails. You can meet the artists and chat with other collectors. You can kick back and enjoy the latest art from Scott Hill, Carylon Killebrew, and Wanda Choate. There, there … that's your Friday in a nutshell.
That nutshell is a perfect appetizer for your double-featured Saturday in the making. First, welcome to UNDONE- THE last Untitled Show EVER! At 506 Davidson Street, from 6-10pm, 506 Events Gallery will provide the space for the final art show of the year (and the foreseeable future). Undone will be a night of letting go, wrapping up, and breaking free. It will also be a night to say thanks to the 100's, if not 1,000's, of artists and volunteers who have helped make over the 75 past shows possible since the group's inception in 1991.
As a group, Untitled wishes to continue their role as quirky outsider to the Nashville art scene and in that spirit has made the decision to host only one final show in 2013 and to not plan any art shows for 2014 and beyond. Untitled's board will continue to meet and plot how best to continue the organization's mission–historically Untitled has had multiple periods of hiatus and rebirth in their 20 plus years in Nashville–and may re-emerge with new ways to contribute to, subvert, and transform Nashville's evolving arts culture. This will be a perfect chance to reflect on what Untitled has done and to think about what it will look like going forward. Come out and support this amazing organization made up of all local artists.
Second on Saturday, over at Boheme Collectif (919 Gallatin Avenue, Suite 8), from 7-10pm, drop by and see a sultry photo exhibition called "POUT." There will be 10 photographers exhibiting their amazing photos in the styles of: Sexy, Sultry, High Fashion, Odd, Surreal, etc. There will be desserts, drinks, music, photos by local Nashville artists and a very special NYC guest. Quite a Saturday night indeed.
Then, on Sunday, I have two more special events to know about and experience. First, at 2pm, at the Tennessee State Museum, it is FREE admission for a special presentation with renowned Cherokee storyteller Gayle Ross. Ross, the great, great, great granddaughter of Cherokee Chief John Ross - who was chief of the Cherokee Nation during the Trail of Tears - will share stories that she heard from her grandmother. Talk about epic stuff. And second on Sunday, at Octane! Art Gallery (1000 Main Street), from 8-10pm, artist Jeff Bertrand is hosting Mike Maxwell's 1st solo art show in Nashville, TN. Inspired by both natural and human destruction, some of the work revolves around the power and aftermath of such events like hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, and even war. The exhibition, "We're All In This Together," is sure to entertain all your senses like the other things I've mentioned above throughout the week all over the place. Make it a point to drop by, won't you?
Now, before I go for today, I thought I'd share this following link I saw the other day. It's a sign that we still have ways to go. I thought this was a funny, cool link of what people in 1910 thought we'd look like by 2000 :)
And with that, I bid you good day and week ahead. Remember to be nice to one another in this beautiful mess we've all made and we're a part of for now.
much love,

California Polluted Waters
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires states to identify all seriously polluted, or "impaired," water bodies every two years. The states put each polluted water body and its associated contaminants on what they call the "303(d) list." In California, the State Water Resources Control Board and nine Regional Water Boards maintain and update the 303(d) list. Thirty-five years after the creation of the Clean Water Act, though, many of California's waterways remain contaminated, and the problem is getting worse. The map below shows all impaired water bodies in red. Select a region below to learn more about water pollution in your area, where it comes from, how it can affect your health and the environment, and how you can help stop the pollution! To learn about polluted beaches, or how key pollutants statewide degrade water quality, click on one of the options below. Once you've had a chance to learn about water pollution in your area, we would appreciate it if you would please fill out a quick survey to let us know what you think; your feedback will help us improve these maps. The data displayed in these maps is from the last list adopted in 2006. California's Regional Water Boards updated their lists throughout 2008 and 2009. The State Water Board conducted their final review of these lists and adopted the statewide 2008/2010 list of severely polluted waters in August 2010. In October 2011, U.S. EPA finalized the list, which reflected a 170 percent increase in the number of of rivers, streams and lakes in California exhibiting overall toxicity since 2006.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Sophomore quarterback Jason Gesser fired a pair of touchdown passes Wednesday and utilized seven wide receivers in the Washington State Cougars' third scrimmage of fall camp.
Milton Wynn, who has teamed up with Gesser more than any other receiver, caught both of his touchdown passes covering 32 and four yards. Last year Wynn transferred to WSU from junior college and played in the opener, then broke a finger the next week in practice and missed the final 11 games.
Matt Kegel, the Cougars' number two quarterback and a second year freshman, had a five yard scoring pass to Marcus Williams early in the afternoon scrimmage in Martin Stadium.
Gesser hit 11 of his 21 passes for 122 yards, but was picked off once by sophomore Marcus Trufant. Kegel ended the workout hitting 8-of-11 for 82 yards, while freshman Tali Ena was 2-of-5 for 19 yards.
"I would rate Kegel's progress as good to very good,"offered Price after the scrimmage. "He has improved from last year and is a very hard worker. He has come a long way since the spring, but so has Jason. It is a race and Jason started ahead and Kegel is trying to catch up."
Price still kept Gesser under wraps during the scrimmage while he recovers from a sore hamstring. "Today he threw the ball quick and didn't have to scramble," Price pointed out. "I do have Jason's hamstring taped up real hard and that hampers him."
In all 10 players caught passes, let by Wynn's four receptions for 66 yards. Paul Mencke and running back Deon Burnett each caught three passes, while four others had two catches each.
"The wide receives are improving rapidly and that could be a real positive, a real plus for us," Price said.
The Cougar head coach said he was very happy with the club's progress and performance Saturday, especially considering how hard the coaches have pushed the team since camp opened two-plus weeks ago.
"We haven't given them a day off," said Price. "They have had half days off, but overall we have been pretty disciplined on them. We will have to back off and let them get their legs back. We are getting a lot in before they have to begin concentrating on school work next week."
The Cougar ground game was more productive Wednesday than in WSU's second scrimmage. Deon Burnett, the sophomore starter, picked up 60 yards with nine carries to lead a rushing attach that finished with 110 yards on 18 carries.
Much of WSU's offensive improvement can be traced to the improvement of the Cougar offensive line.
"The offensive line is improving," Price commented. "Offensively I think it is further along than I anticipated. There are some things we can really do well on offense."
WSU will have one more scrimmage Saturday before hosting the defending Pacific-10 Conference champion Stanford Cardinal in the Cougar opener Sept. 2.
"Saturday we have a mock game where we try to simulate everything," Price said. "It will be touch football. Then we go to Camp Larson near Coeur d'Alene and have a little team building exercise. We will watch some video, have a short workout and stay overnight. We'll have a camp fire, tell camp fire stories and I'll teach the younger players how to make smoors."
Classes for WSU students begin next Monday, at which time the team will begin their season-long schedule of afternoon practices at 3:30 p.m.
MEDICAL UPDATE: Serign Marong (sore back), Billy Newman (hamstring), Dave Minnich (bruised ribs), Ryan Raymond (knee), Mory Banks (leg bruise), DeAndre Douglas (leg bruise), Fred Shavies (hip flexor), Marcus Williams (shoulder). All are expected to be ready next week. Out for an extended period of time - Jason White (ankle sprain), Ing Aleaga (broken foot), John Hooker (broken wrist), Lamont Thompson (neck).

The 81 year old comedian was undergoing throat surgery at a local clinic in NYC on Thursday, when her heart stopped and she was rushed to Mt. Sinai hospital. She is considered to be in critical condition. Rivers was going through a surgery that involved her vocal cords at the Yorkville Endoscopy clinic, according to USA Today.
A spokesman for Mt. Sinai said the River's family wanted to thank everyone for the outpouring of concern over her wellbeing. River's publicist has not yet responded to requests of information from USA Today.
The comedian was scheduled to make an appearance at the Count Basie Theatre in New Jersey on Friday. The theatre announced Thursday the show would be postponed, but the tickets would be honored.
According to Syracuse.com members of River's family made a statement saying, "We are scared. This is not looking good. No big medical decisions will be made until Melissa arrives. She would want us all to laugh, but at the moment, we are all praying."
Updates will be posted as they happen.
Update: 11:21 pm CST
According to several news stations, Rivers is now resting comfortably in the hospital and is said to be in stable condition.


text: Description Suggest an Edit The Wallkill Valley Rail Trail extends more than 20 miles between Kingston and Gardiner along the route of the old Wallkill Valley Railroad, which, in the late 1800s, carried produce from Ulster County farms to New York City, as well as passengers through the Hudson Valley. The northern section of the trail, stretching 11.5 miles from the Town of Ulster (near the Kingston city line) to Rosendale, opened in June 2013. In Rosendale, you will come to the trail's most stunning attraction, the Rosendale Trestle, which stands 150 feet above Rondout Creek. The newly restored 940-foot-long bridge is more than 100 years old. As you continue south, you'll enjoy the surrounding views of hillsides, wetlands, forests and fields. Just after you cross Springtown Road, you'll see another fine example of a steel-truss bridge over placid Wallkill River. South of the bridge, a viewing platform with benches off of the trail encourages enjoyment of the wetland wildlife. For almost 0.25 mile between Plains Road and Broadhead Avenue in New Paltz, the trail is asphalt. In New Paltz, the trail is adjacent to Huguenot Street, a National Historic Landmark District. At the intersection of the trail and Main Street in New Paltz, a great restaurant occupies the restored former train station. There are shops and additional eateries in New Paltz to tempt trail users. South of New Paltz, the trail surface returns to gravel and is a little rougher, but before you leave the outskirts of New Paltz, the trail gives you direct access to the Wallkill. The thick tree stand and cool water offer a refreshing dip on a hot summer day. Much of the next 5 miles pass through agricultural landscape and wetlands. The hedges lining the trail can grow high and thick, but every now and then a view of a small farm or field opens up. The trail ends suddenly at Denniston Road at the Gardiner and Shawangunk town line, but it's more convenient to load bikes in the hamlet of Gardiner, which has parking and an excellent ice cream shop on the trail as well.Future plans call for extending the trail south to the Village of Walden in Orange County. Click to read more Parking and Trail Access To access the trail in Rosendale: Travel west on Route 213 (Main Street) and drive under the trestle. Immediately after the trestle you will see Binnewater Road; make a right. Travel a quarter-mile north on Binnewater Road and you will see the Binnewater Kiln parking lot on your left; park and cross the road to access the rail-trail. To reach the Gardiner trailhead: Take the New Paltz exit off I-87 (New York State Thruway). Turn left on State Route 299/Main Street. In New Paltz, turn left on to State Route 208. Follow this to the intersection of Highway 44/State Route 55 and turn right. Now on Main Street head west into downtown Gardiner, then turn right on 2nd Street. Parking is on the left.

St. Croix, often called "the forgotten Virgin Island," has come up with a bona-fide unique hook to attract cruise ships: Harbour Night, a festival featuring bands and vendors selling everything from bowls decorated with grasshoppers to rum punches served in coconut to handwoven dolls to shish kebabs.
The kicker? Harbour Night, which takes place every other Wednesday throughout the streets of Fredericksted, at the foot of the cruise ship dock -- is, and you'll get this from the name, held in the evening. And in one of the more unusual itinerary twists, Carnival Victory, which includes every-other-Wednesday ports-of-call in St. Croix, forsakes the typical glide-off-into-the-sunset cruise departure and sticks around for the event.
Wednesday's Harbour Night, the first of the 2000-2001 cruise season (which runs through April 1), also attracted passengers from the QE2, making her once-a-year-stop in St. Croix, and sailors from the British naval ship HMS Cardiff.

The first of these was Laurel Lefkow, currently starring in Radio 4′s morning drama "Ethan Frome", who related the story of how the peremptory firing of her journalist father led to a childhood of hazardous happiness in India. She was followed by Jeff Poulter, who talked about how a motorcycling holiday down the left coast of America climaxed in a bizarre encounter with a geoduck, one of the creatures that exists to remind us what a strange place that country is. Piney Gir, our musical turn, who was somewhat delayed by having mistakenly turned up at the home of host Kerry Shale, regaled us with a story from her childhood scrapbook and sang "River Song" from her new album "Geronimo!".
Following the break Carolyn Drake held the room rapt while she recounted the events following the difficult birth of her daughter and finally Betsy De Lotbiniere recalled the year when she decided to spend the festive season in Scotland, despite being heavily pregnant and not realising the extent of the nation's devotion to the celebration of the New Year.
In other news, Kerry Shale's play, "The Prince Of West End Lane", is being given a staged reading at the Globe on January 29th.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Duran, Hilario
Duran, Hilario, pianist, composer, producer, arranger; b. Havana, Cuba, 10 October 1953.
In 1968, he started his musical education at the Conservatory Amadeo Rold'n in La Habana. In 1976, Duran joined the Cuban Orchestra of Modern Music in substitution for pianist Chucho Valdes.When Arturo Sandoval formed his band in 1981, Hilario Duran joined him and worked with him for 10 years, as composer, arranger and producer as well as playing both piano and keyboard and touring at major jazz festivals around the world, sharing stages with such outstanding musicians as Dizzy Gillespie, Michael Legrand and others.
In 1990, Duran formed his own group, Perspectiva, which toured successfully throughout Latin America and Europe, and released several musically innovative and critically acclaimed albums, most notably "Tiembla Tierra" and "Buscando Cuerdas." In 1991, Hilario Duran participated as a pianist in Jane Bunnett's Juno Award winner CD "Spirits of Havana". In 1995, following a successful European tour with his group Perspectiva, which included a stint at Ronnie Scott's (April 1995), Duran decided the time was now right for him to pursue his solo career, allowing him more scope to follow the many different areas of his musical interests.
Duran's first internationally released solo album, "Francisco's Song ", was issued in April 1996, produced by Justin Time Records (Montreal, Canada).
1997 saw Duran consolidate his previous year's successes with the release of his second album on Justin Time "Killer Tumbao " (in February). Featuring a host of Cuban musical giants, including the legendary percussionists Changuito and Tata GYines, "Killer Tumbao " received rave reviews across the board and a lot of airplay on specialist stations in both Canada and the USA.
In 1998 Hilario decided to move to Canada with his family and released the "Habana Nocturna" album, "a round-trip ticket from Cuban music to jazz and back; a landmark album of Cuban jazz in the nineties" according to Nat Chediak (author of "Diccionario de Jazz Latino").
Duran made his establishment as a musician in Canada in 1998, working in different areas, as a piano teacher in the music program of Humber College (Toronto) and Carleton University (Ottawa) as well as ensemble teacher in the same program at Humber College.
Duran has been for many years a prominent member of the Canadian saxophonist and flutist Jane Bunnett's "Spirits of Havana" Afro-Cuban jazz band, with whom he has recorded several albums. He has worked also as composer, arranger and pianist on the sound track for the animated cartoon "George and Martha" (Nelvana Production) and the recent film "Tropic of Cancer" of the director Ramiro Puerta.
In 2000, Duran participated in The Modern Drummer Festival along with Horacio "El Negro" Hern'ndez, Marc Qui-onez, John Patitucci and Michael Brecker. This performance was recorded on video, produced by Hudson Music in association with Manhattan Center Studios.
During 2000 and 2001, Hilario performed in the Barranquilla Jazz Festival in Colombia. In 2000 he was part of an All Star band that included Dave Valent'n, Juan Pablo Torres, John Ben'tez, Horacio "El Negro" Hernandez, Julio Padr-n, "Patato" Valdes. In 2001, he conformed a quartet with "El Negro" Hernandez (drums), Carlos del Puerto Jr. (bass) and Roberto Vizca'no (percussion).
Hilario's latest 2002 release paying homage to Traditional Cuban Music, "Havana Remembered," was nominated for a Canadian Juno Award. In July 2002, Hilario participated along with pianist Marilyn Lerner, in an explosive and original piano duet, being one of the highlights of the Ottawa Jazz Festival, and critically acclaimed by the press. Duran also performed in October 2002 (as a pianist and composer) with saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera, violinist Regina Carter and the living legend, Brazilian singer Leny Andrade, joined by the World Festival Orchestra, New Jersey Performing Arts Center (N.J.P.A.C.).

A Historic Walk in the old Cemetery (Pioneer & Military Memorial Park) in Phoenix, Arizona will be underway on Saturday morning, March 22, 2014. The March event is sponsored by the Pioneers' Cemetery Association to raise money for the Tombstone Restoration Fund to repair and maintain the aging tombstones.
This historic walk will feature the tales of some of Phoenix's early sheriffs and lawmen as told by eight re-enactment players in period costumes. The stories will be told by 'the lawmen or their wives.'
One of the men feature is Thomas Joseph Barnum (AKA Joseph T Barnum) . Barnum was the first elected sheriff of Maricopa County (his predecessor, William Hancock, was appointed to the post). He was born in Potsdam, New York in 1833. He married Jeanetta Osborn in 1865 in Prescott, Arizona and had a total of 12 children.
When Barnum moved his family to the Salt River Valley in 1868, his wife was one of only four Anglo women in the entire rough settlement. Barnum was quick to see the Valley's potential for growth and went into partnership with J. W. Swilling in digging irrigation ditches. He helped build the north extension of the Swilling Canal.
In 1871 a candidate campaigning for sheriff shot and killed the other candidate in a gunfight and Thomas Barnum became the front runner for the office.
He was elected and served from May 1871 until November 1871—just a short term. He resigned in order to devote his full attention to his ranch. The census records show Barnum's vocations as a farmer, miner, and even a saloon keeper!
Thomas Barnum died in January 1909 at 1:00 o'clock in the afternoon at the home of his son in law in Phoenix. His death came as a result of asthma and heart trouble. He was survived by 7 of his children, Hattie, Lulu, Edward, Joseph, Herbert, Lester, and Lucius. He was 77 years old.
Thomas had one other claim to fame…He is said to have often bragged about being a cousin of P.T. Barnum, the famous circus showman.
Thomas used to love this old PT Barnum quote I will share with you today…"Every 'crowd' has a silver lining." The PCA is hoping YOU will be a part of the crowd who comes to visit and take the cemetery tour on MARCH 22nd!
Registration begins at 10:30am. The tour starts promptly at 11:00am. Please be on time! Adult tickets are $10.00. Students under 12 are $5.00. Children under 5 are free! This is an event the entire family can enjoy together! There will be root beer floats available after the tour for an additional $2.00.

Hey! It's been awhile! I had to put off posting for awhile because diet and exercise are apparently only part of life - for me there's also the wife and four kids, A JOB that my boss appreciates me paying some attention to, a baby on the way that's going to need some medical attention/surgery, a used car purchase, television...probably some other stuff too that I can't think of right now.
I'm not keeping track of my meals anymore on the excel sheet. Why? Well, by now it's like documenting my breathing - it's my new normal. I'm paying attention to what I eat every day so that I don't overdue the fats and such, just not keeping the daily journal. I'm QUITE sure you don't miss it. I will say though, that my daily food intake is just real life scenarios, no diet deprivation or insane amounts of celery or anything. I get treats and everything! The other day my lovely bride brought home half of vegan orange/chocolate scone and it was fantastic! My taste buds have changed enough that the scone was as good as donuts used to be, for real!
In lieu of a recipe, I'll share some about what and how I've been eating instead of meat and dairy; really, you can take a lot of your favorite meals and make some simple changes to make them plant based instead of animal based.
- Pasta - make it a wheat pasta, go with an organic red sauce, skip the sausage or chicken, and add lots of grilled veggies or veggies sauteed in lemon juice and/or balsamic vinegar.
- Salad with Ranch or other crap salad dressings - hummus or avocado, plus vinegar or hot sauce if you like a zip.
- All manner of sandwiches - find more veggies to love, like pickles, olives, chives, red and yellow peppers, jalapenos, greens, avocado, and hummus. Turn it into a panini and it's even better!
- Burgers - top them with some or all of the veggies listed above, then slide the burger out and toss it to Fido. Or, make it a black bean patty - taste fantastic without making orange grease run down your arm.
- Tacos and burritos - really just skip the meat and cheese. If you have enough of the other stuff and good salsa, you'll find that you can adapt quite quickly.

Matrix metalloproteinases and angiogenic factors: predictors of survival after radical prostatectomy for clinically organ-confined prostate cancer? American Journal of Pathology, 177(5):2216-2224.

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether biomarkers improve the prediction of recurrence-free, disease-specific, and overall survival in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer. A tissue microarray was constructed from prostate specimens of 278 patients who underwent open radical retropubic prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer. For immunohistochemical studies, antibodies were used against matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-3, MMP-7, MMP-9, MMP-13, and MMP-19, as well as against vascular endothelial growth factor, hypoxia-induced factor 1α, basic fibroblast growth factor, and cluster of differentiation 31. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to evaluate the potential predictors of overall, disease-specific, and recurrence-free survival. In univariate analysis of patients with clinically organ-confined prostate cancer, only higher expression levels of MMP-9 (hazard ratio [0.6], 95% CI 0.45-0.8) had a protective effect in terms of overall survival. This positive effect of high MMP-9 expression was also observed for recurrence-free (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.78-0.99) and disease-specific survival (HR 0.5, 95% CI 0.36-0.73). In multivariable analysis, none of these potential markers was found to be an independent prognostic factor of survival. Of all MMPs and angiogenic factors tested, MMP-9 expression has the potential as a prognostic marker in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for clinically organ-confined cases of prostate cancer.
