Exhibit: Women of a New Tribe
Saturday, July 26, 2008
12:00pm @ Central Library
From Saturday, July 26—Sunday, September 7, 2008, east coast photographer Jerry Taliaferro's vision of the modern black woman comes to life at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St., with the photo exhibit, Women of a New Tribe.
The exhibit of approximately 75 black-and-white portraits pays homage to the physical and spiritual beauty of black women from many different walks of life while visually harkening back to the glamour photography of the 1930s and '40s.
To give the exhibit a local touch, Taliaferro conducted a photo shoot in Kansas City with women representing such diverse sectors as education, law, real estate, and the arts.
"These beautiful women have always been around us. They are our wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and friends," said Taliaferro, who first debuted the exhibit in 2002.
"Perhaps in seeing their beauty, we will come to see what makes a woman truly beautiful. Just maybe we will come to understand that real beauty is more than that which can be seen. Real beauty is that which lifts us, real beauty touches our hearts."
The exhibit has traveled to a number of cities, but the Kansas City Public Library is the first Midwestern venue.

Naugatuck's Grice shines for Kingswood Oxford
It would be hard-pressed to top Naugatuck's Sharrieff Grice's very first game for the Kingswood Oxford prep school football team.
Grice, a sophomore tailback from Naugatuck, rushed for 401 yards and six touchdowns on 31 carries last Saturday and also caught two screen passes for 46 yards, as Kingswood edged Fieldston School, 54-47, in overtime.
"The blocking was there the whole game and everything just fell into place," said Grice, who transferred to the West Hartford school after attending Sacred Heart last year. Grice, 16, is repeating his sophomore year.
Kingswood Oxford coach Jason Martinez, the former Crosby head coach, said that Grice's "marquee performance" got better as the game wore on. He believes his potential is unlimited.
"Sharrieff just kept running hard and was able to show off the type of speed that he has," said Martinez. "It was just a special day for him."
The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Grice, who scored six touchdowns all of last season with Sacred Heart, said he never imagined to have a game of this magnitude.
The Wyverns (a mystical dragon) play out of spread formation with Grice being the only running back in the backfield.
"When we were going through the game plan in practice, I knew I would be involved in the offense, but I didn't expect this much. We were in a neck-and-neck game and every time I looked at the scoreboard, I began to realize how important each touchdown was. I knew that I had to step up and really help my team get points. Everyone fought really hard through and finished strong."
Of all of the individual plays, Grice enjoyed most his punt return for a score toward the end of the third quarter.
The play, however, was nullified because of a block in the back.
"Overall, it's going to be hard to top this game, but I have to put it out of my mind, and hopefully, we can beat Hackley School (on Saturday, 2 p.m. in West Hartford," said Grice.

The Year in Review
We were busier than ever this year, with all the new playthings and ways to connect with other knitters near and far.
Join me in a walk through the high and low points of 2002 as they relate to:
What we said
What we knit
What we read
Where we shopped
What We Said in 2002
Online forums and email lists grew even more popular. Yahoo! Groups, the most popular list host, currently counts 439 knitting groups among its ranks.
But 2002 was also the year of the "blog," or web log, a more public vehicle for our knitting-related ramblings.
Who Let the Blogs Out?
For those unfamiliar with blogs, they're based on an extremely user-friendly technology provided by a Web site or service (such as Blogger), usually free or for a small monthly fee.
All you need to do is pick a name for your blog, choose a template for how you want it to look, and start writing. With just a click or two, your musings are officially online and ready for the world to enjoy. No programming knowledge required.
Many bloggers joined so-called "rings" of similar-themed blogs so that they could reach a greater audience. The two largest knitting-related rings are the Knitting Blogger's Webring and the Fiber Arts Bloggers.
Caveat emptor: Blogs are intended to be online journals, not necessarily Pulitzer prize-winning literature. Some blogs will be more meaningful to you than others, but that's part of the adventure.
Once you stumble across a blog that's part of a Webring, you'll be able to click on the "next" links and anonymously peek into the lives of moderately like-minded strangers from around the globe.
The term "stitch and bitch" has been used tongue-in-cheek for several years to describe knitting groups that gather every so often to knit and chat.
But this year the term became a household word, routinely hauled out and used by the media as proof that knitting is now "hip."
You can find stitch-n-bitch groups everywhere, especially in large metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, Austin, Atlanta, Toronto, and Zürich.
Most-Mentioned Celebrity Knitter
Julia Roberts took up the needles for peace and relaxation, I presume. In the process, however, she became the unwitting poster celebrity for the entire knitting industry. No knitting articles in 2002 were without at least one Julia Roberts reference. (Please, Julia, don't let this stop you from knitting!) Runner-up: Cameron Diaz.
Most-Mentioned Celebrity Knitter Who Wasn't
When Russell Crowe posed with yarn and needles in a publicity shot, the knitting world went crazy. Only later did he confess that he didn't knit, leaving knitters again in search of more contemporary male role models. Sorry guys!
Most Overused Media Cliché
If I had a dime for every time I saw knitting referred to as "hip" and "not just for grandmas anymore" this year, I'd be writing this from my yacht in the south of France.
Most Short-Lived Acronym
Lily Chin coined the term "hip young urban knitter," or HYUK, to define those knitters who participated in her book The Urban Knitter. Non-HYUKs pondered their un-hipness while even those who did qualify as HYUKs often didn't want to join the party.
Most Unifying Insult: The Bozo Rebellion
In an unpopular article this fall, KnitNet referred to online knitting information as often "an amateur enthusiast's attempts to tell you everything they think they know about knitting." The online knitting magazine noted that you could be reading the words of a wise person, but "it's more likely you're listening to some bozo."
Although the author later replaced "bozo" with "somebody who mistakes opinion for knowledge," it was too late. Today, in proud defiance, many online knitters still refer to themselves as bozos.
What We Knit in 2002
Technique that Took Off: Socks on Circulars
In the world of socks, 2002 was about knitting socks on two circular needles. The technique was most broadly promoted by Cat Bordi in her popular book, Socks Soar on Two Circular Needles. Later Sarah Hauschka published The Magic Loop, applying Bordi's concept to a single 40" circular needle instead of two shorter ones.
Many of you tried both techniques and have already returned to your good-old DPNs.
Easiest Achievements: Self-Patterning Socks
It began with the German Opal and Regia Jacquard, two yarns that produced elaborate color patterns when you knit with them. Soon other sock-yarn manufacturers followed suit with almost identical yarns, including Opal lookalike Fortissima Colori and Regia Jacquard lookalikes Lang Jawoll Jacquard Color and Plymouth Yarns Forever Jacquard.
Bottom line: These yarns let us produce sophisticated results without ever changing a strand of yarn.
You'll find a broad selection of self-patterning sock yarns at Carodan Farm.
Tastiest Trend: Kool-Aid Colors
The popular beverage mix rose to all-new heights in popularity this year, not because of its taste or nutritional value but because it is an excellent and user-friendly acid dye for yarns. By the end of the year, Kool-Aid dyeing was featured in the Twisted Sisters Sock Workbook and The Sock Calendar. Want to learn more about the technique?
What We Read in 2002
Vendor as Publisher: Best Newsletter
Published twice each month, Margery Winter's free KnitBits gets my vote as the year's most useful vendor-affiliated newsletter. Margery is the Creative Director for Berroco, thus the newsletter is fundamentally intended to promote Berroco yarns.
But there's still much to enjoy in Margery's newsletter. She writes in a warm and engaging style, and she peppers each newsletter with tips, hints, and amusing personal anecdotes. She recently included a Christmas stocking pattern sized for both grown-ups and pets, including Margery's cat Fred.
Nifty Newcomer: Knitty
Launched in the fall of 2002, this sassy new quarterly online-only magazine has a fresh voice and fun, innovative patterns (think Rebecca's younger sister). I look forward to watching Knitty unfold in 2003.
Priciest Book
In 1989, June Hemmons Hiatt's The Principles of Knitting was released for $35 a copy. The book soon went out of print, but reader interest didn't subside. Today, used copies of this enormous hardbound encyclopedic tome can cost anywhere from $150 to $250 apiece, often more. The author has told us that a new edition is in the works, but no official release timeframe has been given.
Where We Shopped in 2002
Big Buys and Bye-Byes
In May 2002, our venerable and beloved Patternworks was acquired by private equity firm The Riverside Company. At the time, we were told that Patternworks had been acquired by Keepsake Quilting, but Keepsake was -- itself -- acquired by The Riverside Company in June 2000. In September, The Riverside Company made its next move, acquiring online vendor eKnitting.com.
Readers have expressed a growing dissatisfaction with both stores since the acquisitions, citing poor communication and lengthy delays as the primary problems.
Most Welcome Newcomer
Just as the Patternworks news had finished making its way around the globe, a new online player appeared as if dropped straight from heaven: KnitPicks. The Web site and mail-order catalog comes to us from Crafts Americana Group, a privately held Vancouver, Washington-based company that also runs Artist's Club (for toile painters) and Connecting Threads (for quilters).
KnitPicks offers free shipping on all orders over $30, and books are all offered at well below the standard retail prices. Co-owner Kelley Petkun clearly has the soul of a knitter: she was responsible for the company's popular print ad that features an enormous box of chocolate truffles intermingled with gorgeous balls of yarn. (View the ad.)
Join the Club: The Sock-of-the-Month Club, That Is
As sock-knitting grew ever more popular this year, we witnessed the rise of sock-of-the-month clubs. Each month, members would receive a new pattern and yarn for the project.
Unfortunately, many of the clubs were so popular that they left shop owners overwhelmed and exhausted. Late deliveries resulted in unhappy customers, but the situation seems to have calmed down lately.
Among the most popular clubs are:
The Knitter
Joslyn's Fiber Farm
Fiber Nooks & Crannys
Red Bird Knits
Fifth Stitch Sock Every Other Month club

BEAVER CREEK, Colorado - When first built, the escalators at Beaver Creek drew scoffing from some mountain folk - real skiers can climb steps, they snorted. But those escalators have proven popular enough that the resort will install another this year.
The new escalator will zip people from the Beaver Creek Plaza, where the ice rink is, up to the entry level for Gerald R. Ford Hall. The work will be done in two phases, with construction in the spring and fall, so crews won't be in the area during the busy summer months.
Other improvements will include changes to the waterfall next to the staircase, and moving the ice rink's Zamboni building off the plaza.
Beaver Creek Resort Company Director Tim Baker said the idea of the new escalator is to draw more people to the plaza area.
People riding up to Beaver Creek by bus and entering the village over the covered bridge tend to hop on the existing escalators to head toward the lifts, Baker said. Another way to get people up to the Ford Hall level will draw more people into the plaza, he said.
"Our core message is about guest service and making (Beaver Creek) more convenient," Baker said.
Jim Cotter, whose J Cotter Gallery has locations in both Vail Village and Beaver Creek, said he's a fan of the escalator idea.
"It'll make it easier to get up and down for families with kids, and for older people," Cotter said. "I'm getting older, too, so I like it."
In fact, Cotter said, he'd like to see Vail put an escalator from Wall Street up to the area near the new gondola out of Vail Village.
Moving the Zamboni building will also open up views from the plaza toward St. James Place and the businesses in that part of the village, Baker said. That's good news for Beaver Creek Market owner Donna Whalen.
"It sounds great," Whalen said, adding that she hopes the idea of opening up views around the plaza draws more attention to her part of it.
Eric Berggren, executive chef at The Metropolitan restaurant in the same area, echoed Whalen's remarks.
"I think it will give this end of the village some more exposure," Berggren said. While this is the end of Berggren's first season in Beaver Creek, he said he's worked in other resort areas, "so I know what exposure means for businesses."
That exposure might become more important in coming years.
While Baker said Vail and Beaver Creek are "complementary" resorts, Whalen said Beaver Creek has to do more to compete with Vail, which in the last few years has rolled out any number of new lodges and amenities.
"Vail's new - it has all the toys," Cotter said. "Beaver Creek's going to have to be creative to keep businesses up there."
That challenge is made more tricky because Beaver Creek is built out, Baker said. That means improvements to what's already in the resort have to be able to earn guests' attention.
Whalen said she believes Beaver Creek has "definitely lost ground" compared to Vail, adding that improvements as the resort prepares for the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships will be an opportunity to catch up a bit.
And Baker said this summer's work is just the start of a drive toward the championship season.
That event "really served as a beacon for us," Baker said. "We're really pushing the legacy projects that will make a lasting mark on the valley."
Cotter said he believes Beaver Creek needs to build its allure for people to stay in the resort after the races are over.
Baker said those projects are coming, while the resort is still working on plans for this summer.
"We're getting ready for Tough Mudder, the Blues and Brews and the summer music series," Baker said. "We're really excited."

Double trouble Connecticut's private economy remains stagnant, yet some government agencies are spending like it's 1998. With unemployment well above national levels, and with thousands of working people cashing smaller paychecks as the federal payroll-tax holiday ends, school districts like Region 15 are giving lavish increases to their employees. Teachers in the Middlebury-Southbury district will gain 10.5 percent, not including step increases, over the next three years, even as the state slogs forward with an 8.6 percent jobless rate, 0.8 percent higher than the national rate. School board members say they negotiated health-insurance savings and will require teachers to work more hours. Granting so extravagant an increase, however, is irresponsible with state leaders considering municipal-aid reductions this year. Municipal officials therefore face a double whammy this spring, as they try to figure out how to pay their employees more money from a smaller pool of revenue.

For decades, local officials have talked about building a senior care facility in Eagle County and this week that talk took a significant, albeit early, step toward realization.
On Tuesday the Eagle County Commissioners signed a purchase agreement for a 5-acre site in Eagle Ranch, located at the intersection of Capitol Street and Sylvan Lake Road just north of Brush Creek Elementary School. The site is the proposed location for the Castle Peak Senior Care Community, a 64-unit assisted living and skilled nursing facility.
During Tuesday night's Eagle Town Board meeting, Eagle County Housing Director Jill Klosterman shared that news.
"We are excited about the Castle Peak Senior Care Facility, that's the name developed through our focus group efforts," she said.
Klosterman said the site is a great location for the care facility, which would include 22 skilled nursing, 20 assisted living and 12 memory care beds in its first phase. She noted that the residents and visitors will have walkable access to all Eagle Ranch amenities, including the movie theater, restaurants, shopping and pedestrian trails."
She said the county could potentially close on the property by the end of the year, but the sales contract includes an extension provision to Aug. 15. A team including local consultant Tambi Katieb and architect Pam Hopkins have been brought on to help design the project, which will go through the town of Eagle's review process.
"The big question of the day is how are we going to fund it," said Klosterman. "We suspect it will cost around $20 million."
The county is on board to help with those costs with savings it nets from a refinancing deal for the Lake Creek Apartments. "But the county does not plan to own or operate this facility," Klosterman said.
The county has partnered with Augustana Care Corporation of Minnesota - a non-profit experienced in the development, design and operation of senior living facilities - on the Castle Peak Senior Care Facility. As the planning proceeds, the county is looking for financial partners and anticipates a robust private fund-raising campaign.
According to the county, the project will create more than 100 jobs during construction and approximately 65 permanent jobs once phase one of the facility is operating.
"I am very glad to see this project happen and I am very excited to see it happen in Eagle," said town board member Scott Turnipseed.
Castle Peak Senior Care Community will be the only assisted living and skilled nursing facility in Eagle County and will serve residents at all income levels. Klosterman said the need for the facility has been well documented. According to the Colorado State Demographer, Eagle County had the third highest growth in percentage of residents aged 65-plus in the state from 2000-2010, at 135 percent. The age group is projected to grow another 165 percent from 2010-2020.
According to Klosterman, the potential exists for groundbreaking to occur by the fall of 2013.

A better way to use Campfire on your Mac
Conducting group chats in a web browser is a huge win, and Campfire⢠is an exceptional example of a full-featured application that runs in an ordinary browser.
But if you use Campfire⢠for hours every day, a web browser simply can't deliver the desktop-grade experience you expect from an application that's "always on".

If you have lots of Campfire rooms to manage at same time, this app is really your thing.
I manage, at the same time, 6 Campfire rooms, and it was really upsetting me without Propane. Now, I receive growl notifications and highlights on new posts.
Awesome app.
It is a nice app. When you use more than 6 rooms it get's a little messy though. I wish they had a more beautiful solution for that.
not freeware as stated above.
Thanks tikaro. I'm the artist who made the icon :)
It is a damned useful app as well, I'd add.
Campfire's absolute garbage but this is a pretty cool app. I wish they'd port it to better services though.
haha, tikaro, I'm with you. Downloaded it just for the icon, only to find out I have no clue what the program actually does :D
I've seen the evolution of this little gas can from a pretty early stage and I have to say it is the only way I can "stand" using Campfire. The drag-and-drop sharing capabilities and highlight-text-to-transcript functionalities still boggle my mind. Obviously, I highly recommend this. :)
I absolutely love the icon.

Emerging Markets Rally Worries Some Analysts
Investors have rediscovered developing countries, sending their stocks up 16%, as a group, since late June.
A growing number of analysts who follow these countries, known in the trade as emerging markets, find that troubling. Their message: Proceed at your own risk.
Emerging markets are exciting to investors because for much of the past decade, EM stocks and bonds delivered the big gains. Many investors still are nervous about U.S. stocks, even though many major U.S. indexes are in or near record territory.
In the early 2000s, many investors developed a reflex. When they want to take a risk and add some pop to their portfolios, they put a little money in emerging markets like India, Brazil, Turkey or China.
These analysts are warning that things have changed.
"It is certainly going to be a much more volatile ride than most people expect," says Manoj Pradhan, global emerging-markets economist at Morgan Stanley.
Mr. Pradhan recently wrote a report entitled, "EM—Is the Worst Behind Us Now?" His conclusion: "The worst is not behind us: In fact, things likely have to get worse so they can then get better."
Nimble short-term speculators may profit in volatile emerging markets, say Mr. Pradhan and other worried analysts. But investors with two-year outlooks could feel some pain.
Not everyone agrees with this analysis, of course. Bullish investors point out that developing countries always look unstable. They still are likely to grow faster than the U.S. and Europe. If the world economy is more resilient than the doomsayers think, the developing world will benefit, these analysts say.
Emerging markets have far more of the world's economic output than they do stock-market capitalization, meaning stock values should grow, notes Jason Thomas, research director at Carlyle Group, which oversees $180 billion. Any stock declines "provide attractive opportunities for investors to diversify into" emerging markets, he wrote in a report this month.
The risk is that the ride will be bumpy.
"The fundamental backdrop that led us to be so concerned about emerging markets in the first place hasn't changed a lick," says Richard Bernstein, founder of Richard Bernstein Advisors, which oversees $1.8 billion in New York. Inflation and corporate-earnings disappointments have been worse in the developing world, he says.
"U.S. small stocks are a better growth story than emerging markets," based on five-year forecasts, he says.
The worriers identify three big problems. First, the global economy has cooled and so has the global export boom that fueled developing-world growth. Future growth requires a shift toward spending by developing countries' own citizens, a painful, time-consuming transition.
Second, stock gains and business investment in many developing economies relied on huge inflows of foreign money. Those flows got so big that it will be hard for them to grow as before. Few countries are ready to shift to homegrown financing.
A third problem is rising interest rates. The U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks have held down interest rates around the world, masking some of the weakness in the developing world's finances. But the Fed intends to reduce its stimulus and let rates rise in the months to come. Some other central banks could follow.
Unless U.S. and global growth prove much weaker than economists expect, which would delay Fed action but create other problems for emerging markets, the interest-rate backdrop is about to get worse.
The flow of investment into developing-world stock funds reflects this interest-rate issue. Money drained out in May, when Fed officials hinted they would start reducing stimulus this year, according to EPFR Global, which tracks such flows. In mid-September, when the Fed delayed cutting its $85 billion in monthly bond-buying stimulus, inflows resumed, only to reverse direction at the end of October amid fear the Fed would reduce stimulus in December.
Some countries have handled the transition better than others. Mr. Pradhan likes South Korea, Taiwan, Poland, the Philippines, Mexico, Columbia and Peru. But that is it.
He advises staying away, in particular, from a group Morgan Stanley has dubbed the Fragile Five: India, Brazil, Turkey, Indonesia and South Africa.
Every country's situation is different. Brazil is a big commodity exporter, India exports services and China, which also concerns Mr. Pradhan, imports commodities and exports manufactured goods.
Neil Shearing, chief emerging-markets economist at Capital Economics in London, is worried about all four of the big economies that got the most investor attention: Brazil, Russia, India and China, a group that was dubbed the BRICs.
Together, they account for one-quarter of world economic output, and they all have fundamental problems, he says. "Growth there will be slower than in the previous decade," he says.
Russia depends too much on high energy prices, Mr. Shearing argues. China still relies too heavily on cheap credit and investment in heavy industry and real estate. Brazil and India, as well as Turkey, Indonesia and South Africa, are too dependent on foreign money.
This was all right when foreign capital was cheap, export demand was rising fast and foreigners were racing to invest. "We are getting to the end of that era," Mr. Shearing says.
He likes emerging markets in Eastern Europe, but not much else.
As long as the Fed keeps interest rates low, many emerging markets may not face a crunch. The Fed's monthly $85 billion cash injections keep global financial markets humming.
Uncertain U.S. growth and the financial mess caused by Washington's squabbles put a hold on Fed action in September. But some economists think recent signs of U.S. strength, notably in manufacturing, could push the Fed to scale back, or taper, its spending in December or the first months of next year.
"Next year, once the Fed starts tapering and yields rise, we are going to see pressures in the emerging markets," says Alberto Ades, head of fixed-income and foreign-exchange strategy for emerging markets at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

Jennifer Hudson, Gladys Knight Kick Off Grammy Parties with Clive Davis
In opening remarks at last night's Pre-Grammy Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, CBS Corp. CEO Les Moonves called the event "the most important date on any of our calendars."
Veteran record executive Clive Davis hosts the dinner show the night before the Grammys each year, and he uses it in part to introduce young performers to power players in the industry. Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5 and Jennifer Hudson played to this audience early on in their careers—examples Mr. Davis doesn't hesitate to point out.
The Grammys is just "the Clive Davis after-party," Mr. Moonves said, before introducing the man of the hour.
Or perhaps we should say the man of the five hours. Mr. Davis' party, typically long, certainly kept with the trend this year.
But unlike 2012's pre-Grammys Gala, which went on just hours after Whitney Houston's death in a hotel room upstairs from the event hall, the mood last night was relaxed, folks were chatty and the hours breezed by.
Mr. Davis kicked off the festivities by pointing out a handful of A-listers in the audience: singers Joni Mitchell and Sting, actor Johnny Depp, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and rapper-producer Sean "Diddy" Combs.
Mr. Davis continued to inform the audience of stars and noteworthy guests throughout the night, providing short back stories on how his friendship with each person developed or how he'd first come across their talent. Magic Johnson, Frank Ocean, John Mayer and Wiz Khalifa, for example, were singled out.
To honor her memory, the host showed a recorded performance by Ms. Houston of "All the Man I Need" early in the evening. The live performances began with Dutch electronic DJ Afrojack, and included punk rocker Patti Smith, R&B singer Miguel, hipster folk band The Lumineers and British singer Emeli Sandé.
Miley Cyrus, among the most lively socialites at the event, kicked up her heels during the Lumineers 2-song ho-down and later pranced out of the party with rapper Wiz Khalifa, who she's been recording with recently according to some reports.
This year's "Salute to Industry Icons" award was presented to music executive Antonio "L.A." Reid, who is known for signing such artists as Usher, OutKast, Pink and Cee-Lo Green.
Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, a close collaborative partner of Mr. Reid's, introduced the honoree with a rambling account of their long history, starting with the first time they met in the 1980s. Mr. Edmonds recalled with a smile that Mr. Reid was wearing spandex and "had one of them hairdos–you know what I'm saying."
Accepting the award, after Usher masterfully performed his song "Climax," Mr. Reid told the singer, "When I watch you perform like that, I feel complete."
Jennifer Hudson and Gladys Knight performed a show-stopping duet of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine." Standing front and center, LMFAO's Redfoo could be seen recording the dynamic divas on his phone. And shuffling, of course.
Ms. Knight rounded out the evening with an explosive performance of two goodbye-themed songs, "Neither One of Us" and "Midnight Train to Georgia."
Check back in with Speakeasy at 7 p.m. for a live blog of tonight's Grammys.
[Correction: An earlier edition of this post misspelled Emeli Sandé.]

April is the month all about our beautiful Earth.
I am lucky to have grown up the way I did. My parents were all about nature, gardening and compost. Recycling was new to me, just coming into our lives a few years ago, but we embrace it full force. Everything has a purpose and it's actually easier than most people think. Little things can make a big difference.
Do you know what compost is? Do you know how to make it or what you can even throw in there? Sure egg shells, veggies, and paper are okay. But you can cut your trash down by so much more!
- Grab a small to medium box, bucket, bowl; whatever you want or have. (Even a Cub Condo, with the top folded in!) You don't need something fancy, but there are plenty on Amazon if you want.
- Add either some crumbled leaves or strips of newspaper as your base (not a necessity but it helps).
- Hang this list by TLC of 75 things you can compost, including coffee grounds, tea bags, egg cartons, toothpicks, moldy cheese and more by your new compost container.
- Make sure you have a constant mixture of wet and dry compost. If you need to, add some water to keep it balanced, and make sure you have it covered so the moisture stays in.
- Mix your compost at least once a week. My mom used to let us find earth worms to add, too. It was so much fun to find them and then relocate them to a new home full of yummy food. Don't worry if your kids want to add some sticks too. Old branches are a natural part of the compost process and can be a great part of your new dirt pile.
So, what do you do once you have some rich green dirt? You plant something in it of course! You just made some of the best food plant around, and it's time to use it for your garden or even house plants. Plus, it was free!
Eww! What's that smell? – Don't worry if you start to smell something from your compost. It will put off a very sweet smell and is completely natural. Unlike your trash can, this fragrance is the kind even the bees will confuse for the sweet stuff.
There is really no wrong way to compost, so don't get discouraged. As long as you are trying, then that is less trash you are sitting by the road, and more you are putting back into the ground. If you are still wondering how to get the kids involved, why not have a contest to see who can make the best compost pile and compost the most items? The winner gets a new Build-A-Bear furry friend of course!

It's the second week of April, and local gardeners are hoping the winter weather is over as the 2013 planting season is moving in.
Marietta residents Teresa Efaw and Vonda Cassady took advantage of a warm-if windy-Sunday morning to plant some early seeds in their community garden plots off Hart Street, just behind the Food 4 Less supermarket.
"This is my fourth season working with the Harvest of Hope community garden," said Efaw, 51. "We both live in town, and there's no gardening space in our neighborhoods, so this is nice."

SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Teresa Efaw, left, and Vona Cassady spent part of Sunday morning doing some digging and planting in their community garden plots along Hart Street in Marietta.
Cassady, 54, agreed as she tied lengths of string to stakes at either end of the rows she'd just planted.
"Until the plants come up you need to know where the rows are," she explained. "Today I've planted onions, beets, kale, and some lettuce."
Both women had also worked in the garden Saturday, preparing the soil for planting.
Fact Box
To participate
To participate in the Harvest of Hope community garden program:
Pick up an application at the shed on the community garden site along Hart Street, directly behind the Food 4 Less supermarket.
Call community garden coordinator Cindy Brown at (740) 374-7357.
More information is available online at www.washcoharvestofhope.org
"You have to till the ground first so it's fine enough to plant, and add fertilizer," Efaw said. "If you plant too soon in the season there can be a danger of frost damage to plants, but we're planting seeds now, and by the time these plants come up there should be no risk of frost."
She noted that planting and maintaining a garden takes some dedication.
"A lot of people don't realize how much work it is-but it's worth it," Efaw said.
Master gardener Cindy Brown of Devola said it's time to get ready for the planting season.
"Right now's the time to prep garden beds by turning cover crops, if any were planted last fall," she said. "This is the time to begin loosening the soil, too."
Brown said tilling the ground for planting is OK, but it can be overdone, making the soil too soft for planting.
She said seeding for carrots, beets, onions, lettuce, peas and radishes should be done soon, but potato seeds should have already been planted last month.
"Sweet potatoes should not be planted until around May 15," Brown added.
Other tasks for April may include placing mulch on garden pathways, setting out rain barrels for water storage, and putting finished compost on the garden.
"You also want to remove any weeds popping up in the garden as fast as they come up while the spring soil is loose," Brown said.
Coordinator for the local Harvest of Hope Community Garden program, Brown said a few of the 30 garden beds are still available at the community garden on Hart Street.
"We have one or two ground-level beds and another two raised beds there," she said. "That's all we have available at this time, but we're hoping to also have some table beds available later this year in our Harmar community garden off Gilman Avenue."
Brown said how soon the Harmar garden will be ready depends on when lumber can be obtained to build the table beds that will provide better accessibility for older folks who would like to put in a garden.
Applications to participate in the community garden program may be picked up at the tool shed in the garden behind Food 4 Less on Hart Street. Brown said interested people may also call her at (740) 374-7357.
She said anyone is welcome to apply.
"People may think they can't do this," Brown said. "But one of the positives of a community garden is that all of these gardeners love to help one another by sharing information."

Introduced by Philip Ziegler
A 'political turncoat, a dangerous adventurer'; a 'delightful rogue who lacked political judgement' – in May, 1940 Winston Churchill's reputation as Britain's greatest statesman was by no means certain
Published price: US$ 56.95
A 'political turncoat, a dangerous adventurer'; a 'delightful rogue who lacked political judgement' – today few people would guess that these were descriptions of one of the most admired statesmen of the 20th century – Winston Churchill. Yet as historian John Lukacs points out, when Churchill took over as Prime Minister in May 1940, he was not well-liked. In this gripping, fly-on-the-wall account of the early days of Churchill's government, recreates the rapid series of events that turned the tide and persuaded both the public and War Cabinet to rally behind Churchill.
'superb … At once a provocative work of history and a marvellous historical entertainment'
In May 1940 The Conservative Party was sceptical of Churchill's powers, whilst the country was far from eager for war. Moreover, a series of spectacular reverses for Britain and successes for Hitler were about to occur. Holland had surrendered, Belgium was about to follow and France was falling. There were very real fears that the entire British Expeditionary Force might be captured. In their private diaries, many of the country's leaders were despondent: Charles Waterhouse, a Conservative MP, wrote 'all is lost', while Sir Samuel Hoare said 'everything finished'. On 28 May, Churchill declared, with the full backing of the War Cabinet and the wider ministry, that Britain would fight on, alone if need be – no matter what happened in France. It was a bold move and one that, without the benefit of hindsight, was by no means obvious. Churchill himself stayed silent on the painful struggle, the back-room deals and the heated discussions that had occurred in the four days prior to this momentous announcement.
'A gripping historical drama'
Lukacs is a renowned historian whose previous books have included The Last European War and his overview of the relationship between Hitler and Churchill, The Duel. Five Days in London, building on official papers, published memoirs and private papers and diaries, is history in microcosm: an account of a watershed moment in world events which affected not only the outcome of the war but the future of all Europe. Key battles and the entrance of Russia and America eventually won the war, but, Lukacs claims, this is the point at which Churchill managed to stop the war from being lost. It is crucial for our understanding of history that we recognise how remarkable an achievement it was – and by how slender a thread hung the hopes of Britain. Biographer and historian Philip Ziegler contributes a new introduction to this Folio Society edition.
'This is a modern history that refuses easy answers: its skilful concision cuts painfully to the bone and spills real blood on the carpets of Whitehall and Westminster'

Drizzle the balsamic-agave glaze over the figs and goat cheese.
Roasted Figs with Goat Cheese and Balsamic-Agave Glaze
(Makes 2 appetizer or dessert servings, recipe adapted from YumSugar, who adapted it from The Food Network.)
4 ripe figs (I used Mission Figs that my brother Rand brought me from California.)
8 thin slices of goat cheese
1 1/2 T good quality balsamic vinegar
2 T amber or light agave nectar (Can also use honey, but it's not as South Beach Diet friendly.)
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (I didn't use a lot of either)
Roast for 15-18 minutes, until the figs are hot and lightly cooked and cheese is melted. You can use a spoon to drizzle more glaze over the figs halfway through the baking time if you'd like.

It's what Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette called a phony scheme and a part of the foreclosure crisis. Mortgage document processing company DocX is now paying a price. The investigation started in 2011 after county officials reported possible fake mortgage documents that are being filed in their offices.
"This was criminal activity that was filed in my office, my office was basically a crime scene," said Ingham County Register of Deeds Curtis Hertel.
Hertel's office received about 300 fraudulent mortgage documents and more than 1000 were filed around the state.
"There's a process in terms of every document has to be signed by an authorized official of the bank," said Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette.
Instead, most of the documents show the name Linda Green, signed with many variations in handwriting. Officials say the company's goal is to save time, increase profits and at times, that sped up foreclosures.
"I think if it sped it up by three months, by the time someone would've been foreclosed and they could've economically recovered in those three months," said Hertel.
For Attorney General Schuette, the $2.5 million civil settlement is not enough. He also filed felony charges against the former president of DocX.
"The woman who's the president of this robo-signing company will be on the inside of the prison bar looking out," said Schuette.
Hertel says the system is flawed and the problem is far from being over.
"The foreclosure mills of this state are still using these documents to kick people out of their homes."

The streets of Summit County could see 2 inches of snow by Thursday afternoon, and up to 7 inches could accumulate on the higher peaks in the next 24 hours as a storm moves into northern Colorado from the west.
Forecasters say the heaviest snow will likely fall to the north, but Summit County can expect some powder out of the storm.
"We do have quite a dynamic system," National Weather Service meteorologist Lisa Kriederman said. "But there's a good shot you guys will get snow."
The system expected to move into Colorado this afternoon includes components of the same storm that dumped 2 feet of snow on the peaks of the Sierra Nevada and brought out the snowplows across northern California.
The system is meeting up with colder air moving down from Canada on its way to Colorado.
"It's just going to mix with the moisture that's coming off that system," Kriederman said. "It's kind of a morphed version of that storm that hit California."
There's a solid chance of snow in the forecast through Friday and again on Saturday, with daytime temperatures set to cool into the 20s by the end of the week from the low 50s on Monday.
Overnight lows are set to drop into the teens and as low as 10 degrees by Friday night, the only starry evening on the way before the weekend, according to NWS forecasts.
Breckenridge has gotten just more than 2 inches of snow in October, still short of the 12 inches that usually accumulate this month based on the 30-year average.
With snowmakers hard at work across the county, two local ski areas - Arapahoe Basin and Loveland - are already open and two more - Keystone Resort and Copper Mountain - are preparing to gear up the lifts in a matter of days.

"It's an important time for surfing," Kieren Perrow, ASP Surfer Representative, said. "The supporters of the sport have sacrificed a lot of time and energy into professional surfing, and it has brought us to our current position where we're attractive to a larger market with the ability to take surfing to a whole new level. Everyone, from the surfers to the fans to the events to the sport, will benefit and it's an exciting time for the ASP."
translation: "we think this is how we can sell more surf stuff"
the industry has an exaggerated sense of it's own importance. if all the tours and contests and pros and merchandise went away overnight, surfing would continue tomorrow, unabated. surfing owes nobody a living.
Well said.
wait why is the tour a joke? dane dropped off for personal reasons rather than issues with "the man"

First of all - good location! But then, well, the apartment was too expensive for that size, very small. The kitchen/livingroom very tiny for 4 adults. AND the whole apartment was not especially clean. Would recommend the owner maybe to check upon the cleaning once in a while. I feel I must mention the lift as well, extremely small and not very reliable I think. We had to use the stairs, not too funny with suitcases and stuff. Bottom line: next time we will look for something else in London.
It is really a very small but nice apartment. Expect a small hotel room with a kitchenette and a lovely balkony. It is close to Paddington Station so in the middle of everything.
If you don't need too much space it is a good place to stay.
We wouldn't recommend this studio. Too small. In a basement. Shower mixer broken. Bathroom not really clean. Only the location was ok. 5 minutes from the tube.
Reasonable option. Very good location. Very small, but I guess that's normal in london city centre. Good balance price-quality
Good location and to visit London. No cleaning during our week-stay
Wonderful location very close to Lancaster Gate and even closer to Paddington Station.
The flat is underground but it did not matter to us as we were often away visiting the city.
The flat was very clean and towels were even changed during our 5 days stay.
Will highly recommend this address.
very convenient location, Paddington station with train to heathrow, underground and many restaurants arround . the flat was clean and good for a few days. we may use it again in our next jouney to london
Great location! First impression of the apartment was positive, seemed newly renovated and had large rooms and so on. A closer look showed a few things not so positive: Completely clogged sink in the bathroom, we had to open up and remove lots of hair, toothpicks and other disgusting stuff - uaææh! With guests coming and going, this is really an important matter to look into - I really don't think we should be charged with any amount for cleaning after this, I still will vomit just by the thought of the mess. And there was the toilet seat, totally loose and really unpleasant to sit on - I know I never would have rented out an apt without checking things like this. Easy to fix but really annoying to come to. So this was the first and last time in Leinster Gardens :-(
Stayed there for a full week. The location is very central - close to tube, but in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of dining opportunities close by.
The room is a good size and kept clean.
Would definitely come back.
we spent a very enjoyable week holiday in this lovely apartment. we were welcomed by the owners who gave us the keys when we arrived. The apartment is exactly like the pictures.
well located, 20 minutes walk from Oxford.
We recommend this apartment.
thank you again

Happy New Year Coffee Talk
By Rebecca Teti
Happy feast of The Mother of God and may your 2013 be blessed! The floor is open for Coffee Talk.
Tuesday: Open Forum
(Join each day's Coffee Talk discussion: Mon: Parenting; Tues: Open Forum; Wed: NFP; Thu: Marriage; Fri: Education; Sat/Sun: Changing Roles)
This is the Open Forum Coffee Talk. That means ... anything goes. Ask a question, make a suggestion, share a story, offer some advice -- the floor is yours!
Dear All, we were wishing happy new year to our friends and relatives in the midnight, when suddenly my mind went over the wishes we were receiving. Many wishes sounded "a happy and healthy/wealthy prosperous new year". I feel one wish that would be sufficient would be to have our Lord in the midst of us. Because if he is there then "Health or no health", "Wealth or no wealth", nothing would be more significant.. He is capable of providing for our needs and he alone knows what is sufficient for us..
Happy New Year 2013! Thank you for a great magazine that I look forward to receiving & a very neat website/community forum. I don't know if this is post-worthy but I have a question & I'm curious to know what thoughts are. A family member volunteers at church, one afternoon she told Fr. she had to leave early to go to a yoga class. Fr. was horrified. He said it was against our religion because of it's roots & that she needs to quit. She is confused & upset. A Dr. recommended taking yoga for a disease she suffers from. I had never heard of such a thing. Again, I apologize if this shouldn't be posted here but I am very curious & wonder what other exercise programs that relate to yoga are not allowed?? Thank you!!
..roots were said to be in mysticism/Hindu/Buddhism I believe he said.
A monk described yoga to me as "doing the religious movements of another religion 'just for exercise'." He said its frowned upon because it would be like genuflecting in front of the tabranacle "for exercise" and saying it "had no religious significance"... yet such a genuflection is an act of worship even if the person doing it says "this is just exercise." Similarly, we shouldn't do the body postures of Eastern meditation and think "oh its just exercise" because we are doing the "outward signs" of another religion and those signs have significance even if we don't *intend* it. Its not all about our intentions, but about the nature of religious signs and symbols (in this case, Eastern religions). Hope that helps!
Ah...thank you. I guess that does make sense. I honestly just never thought about yoga as being something our church was against. I know my MIL was confused & I feel almost embarrassed that I didn't know that!
Avk--don't feel embarrassed or confused--I'm confused too! Well, actually, I agree with the priest you mentioned and have done research on it. Many very good Catholic websites have clear reasons for staying away from yoga (Catholics United for the Faith, Johnette Benkovic and Sharon Lee Giganti to name a few.) I love what Jen quoted, using an analogy of genufecting before the tabernacle for exercise. I get confused because our pastor appoves of yoga in our parish, and classes are held here on our parish grounds...now how's that for confusion for you! Maybe your MIL can find something in pilates that is similar and will be helpful for her? Prayers for your discernment.
Now that would be confusing! Oh dear...I guess it just depends on the priest..or maybe if you did yoga poses/stretches while meditating on the mysteries or doing a rosary or prayer? But I guess that wouldn't take away from the poses representing other religious beliefs. Very interesting....
@Avk, I don't think there's an official Church teaching regarding the exercise portion of yoga. I've heard conflicting views on that, some from the view that it's not allowable at all and others that it's fine as long as you are only doing the stretching part, not the meditation part. I'm personally inclined toward the latter view, having briefly used a friend's pregnancy yoga video and finding that much of it was things one typically does to stretch anyway (like "dancer's pose" which was just standing on one leg and pulling the other foot up to your behind - been doing that for years, but never called it a pose). So it didn't exactly seem like actions with inherent meaning to them. That said, there aren't many classes I'd participate in (if I were one to go to an exercise class, lol), since most seem to be given by people who aren't likely to drop the new-agey side of it in their classes.
I am a yoga teacher and studio owner and I am catholic. I also work closely with 2 of my local priests in navigating this ancient art and science. I strongly disagree that yoga is from, part of, or brings one closer to an eastern religion. I will agree yoga brings one closer to God -- the one and only God. I started yoga in 1999 because I was grieving. I became catholic in 2005. How is this possible? I have practiced yoga 3-5 times a week since 1999. I teach about the physical and physiological benefits of yoga and empower people to find peace, health and bring them closer to God. One of the most amazing teachers I have ever met is Father Joe Pereira, who is a Jesuit Priest (for 45 years) from India and a yoga teacher ( he became a teacher after yoga healed his back pain) One of his biggest inspirations in life --Mother Theresa. He was a co-celebrant at mass the weekend of my training with him. His reverence brought me to tears and moved me spiritually unlike I have never been moved. It is sad that so many priests lead mass as though it is a just another day -- God is present. I think it is sad that yoga is so quickly judged. Should some yoga and yoga teachers be avoided--yes. I don't believe God inspires us to be fearful or judgmental but empowers us to discern. Father Thomas Ryan another Catholic Priest and yoga teacher has a book -- Prayer of mind and Body: yoga as a Christian spiritual practice. I will choose to love my neighbor even if they are all the way around the world.

What we offer
Custom solutions
Whether it is deciding which Latin American country will provide the best operating environment for a logistics business, predicting which cities in China will emerge in the coming years to have the most favourable income levels and socio-demographics for a specific consumer product or assessing distribution channels in Africa for construction equipment, we can help.
- Economic, political and socio-demographic forecasting
- Country and city forecasting
- Market sizing, market entry and demand forecasting
- Risk analysis
- Bespoke modelling and scenario analysis
- Industry analysis
- Location benchmarking
Economic, political and socio-demographic forecasting
The world is changing rapidly. Where are the sources of revenue and profit going to be for your business tomorrow? If you need to understand how political trends will affect regulations for your industry in Chile, how disposable income is changing for 30-35-year-old women in Poland or when a frontier market in Sub-Saharan Africa will become mainstream, we can help.
We understand that businesses need to identify where the next opportunity is coming from so that they can act fast to seize it.
Our knowledge of economics, politics and socio-demographics is second to none. If you need to see into the future, we can help.
Country and city forecasting
Our team comprises experts on every country in the world. If you need to know how quickly the US will grow over the next five years or what residential construction will take place in Saudi Arabia, we can help. Or in Thailand, Algeria or Kazakhstan. But sometimes five years is not enough.
Many of our clients have investment horizons measured in decades. Our proprietary methodologies let us look ahead 30 years or more, using frameworks you can understand and rely on.
And if countries are too broad for your business, we forecast growth, spending, income and investment in cities from Dongguan to Dhaka.
Market sizing, market entry and demand forecasting
Our clients are looking for growth. Which new markets should they enter? Which existing markets are under-penetrated? How much should they be selling? We help clients to understand how big the market is for everything from tractors in Zambia to washing machines in Argentina.
Deploying a three-pronged methodology of economic modelling, interviews with key suppliers, buyers and distributors, and consumer surveys, we can help to size the market for almost anything.
By mapping distribution channels and key political and regulatory stakeholders, we can also help you to understand how to access it. And, if required, we can even model your own sales data so that you can predict how market developments will affect your business.
Risk analysis
Success in business means the considered embracing of risk—without risk, there can be no reward. This means that risk management is an ongoing part of business life. But in order to manage risk, you need to measure it. How? We have tools and models that help to combine quantifiable risks such as default rates with qualitative issues such as political or regulatory instability. We use these tools to help companies do everything from managing their supply chain to setting location-specific discount rates.
Clients decide which countries to enter, which suppliers to order from and which logistics routes to use based on our bespoke dashboards. And, if you are focused on financial risks, we are a registered credit rating agency for assessing sovereign creditworthiness. We also assess exchange-rate and banking risks.
Bespoke modelling and scenario analysis
We are the experts in data modelling and analysis. We use the very latest techniques to model our clients' sales data, helping them to predict how their business will perform. Some even share our analysis with their suppliers to help to inform their production decisions. But we also produce bespoke models for other purposes.
If you need to understand how a country or industry will respond to an event like a currency crash or energy shock, we can model that too.
Or, if you are doing business planning, we can provide country, industry or market scenarios based on expert judgement, modelling or facilitated debates within your organisation.
Industry analysis
We do not just look at countries or cities. We also analyse industries. Our speciality is to understand the intersection between industry developments and the surrounding economic, political and regulatory context. Our team has expertise in financial services, telecoms and technology, consumer goods and retail, automotive, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, commodities and energy.
So if you need to dive deep on banking in Peru, tablets in Romania or mining in Mongolia, we can help.
We can also help to unravel the supply chain, identify the key regulatory decision-makers, analyse the purchasing decisions or pinpoint the logistical bottlenecks.
Location benchmarking
If you need to make a decision, you need to rank the options. But how to do that when the key decision factors vary from economic to political, from cultural to geological? The Economist Intelligence Unit's benchmarking and indexing capabilities can help. We are experts in combining qualitative and quantitative data, and weighting it together to form league tables and conduct multi-dimensional comparisons.
We have helped companies to rank cities by their attractiveness to the car-rental industry, benchmarked the incentives offered in special economic zones for the technology industry and prioritised markets in Central America for a financial services firm. We have even produced rankings of countries' peacefulness for a philanthropic organisation, and benchmarked the security regime that countries apply to their stocks of nuclear material.
Healthcare industry services
We have an especially deep capability in healthcare across developed and emerging markets. We offer services to insurers and payers, helping to design clinical care pathways, undertake medical evidence reviews and consult on value-based health. We help pharmaceutical and medical technology firms to demonstrate value.
We advise on strategy in all areas of healthcare using techniques such as horizon scanning and megatrend analysis. We provide market insight to pharmaceutical and medical technology firms and clinical providers through our market intelligence, market sizing, channel optimisation and commercial due diligence capabilities.
China is the second-largest economy in the world, and is the top destination for many international firms looking to grow. China is also home to many of the world's up-and-coming businesses, which are increasingly looking to expand in other emerging markets and also in western Europe and the US. Unsurprisingly, it is a market where we have exceptional expertise.
Our Beijing and Shanghai team routinely tracks and forecasts developments in 287 cities across the country to help our clients win in China. And, for our Chinese clients, we tap into our worldwide team of experts to assess opportunity, help to manage risk and advise on strategy in any market in the world—and deliver our conclusions in China, in Chinese.
