Un intimo Wine Country Bed and Breakfast, il Haydon Street Inn si trova nella pittoresca cittadina di Healdsburg - per appartati parco ombreggiato in un tranquillo quartiere residenziale. Vi sentirete a casa in questo Queen Anne vittoriano, costruito alla fine del secolo. Rilassatevi in uno dei nostri salotti arredati antiche, o il portico anteriore curva, o nel giardino colorato. A pochi passi di distanza si trova la piazza storica della città con le sue belle boutiques, negozi di antiquariato e ristoranti. E le favolose cantine della Dry Creek, Alexander, e Russian River Valli - regioni di coltivazione di uve Primo California - sono solo pochi minuti di auto. Godetevi la degustazione di vini in questa regione conosciuta per le grandi Cabernet, Zinfandel, e chardonnay o piacere in un pic-nic con vista sulle sempre belli e sereni vigneti. La zona Healdsburg è conosciuta per la grande bicicletta, mongolfiera e il vicino fiume offre grande svago.

My wife and I are not a B&B couple, but we took a recommendation form a coworker to stay at the Hayden Street Inn. With reservation we took the recommendation and might I say we blown away. The charm of the Inn was perfect as was the room. Very spacious, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was better then the ones at the Conrad and the sheets were just as comfortable. The innkeepers John and Karen were outstanding! They were there if you needed them and not if you didn't. Don't miss music on the square on Tuesday or John's three course breakfast. I am in the foodservice industry and work with some top chef's, John stands right there with them! thanks again John and Karen!

John and Karen are wonderful innkeepers. John's breakfasts are not the cup of coffee and bowl of granola fare. Instead they are indicative of John's experience as a chef. The pizza and wine are not to be missed on Friday afternoon. Karen knows Healdsburg like a native and her suggestions are extremely helpful. We will return.

John and Keren were great hosts, and the food was outstanding. We spent a long weekend there to celebrate our 25th anniversary. The Turret room was very nice! They also made some excellent suggestions for wineries and for restaurants in the area that we did not have on our original list - much appreciated! We would certainly stay there again!

My husband and I so enjoyed our stay at this lovely Inn. The hosts were gracious, the breakfast was amazing, and we enjoyed getting to know other guests. Also, the location was perfect as we were able to walk to the plaza for dinner each night. Beautiful and relaxing front porch and courtyard as well. The only disappointing thing was the size of our room... very tight!

My husband and I spent a terrific weekend with our grown son and girlfriend at this lovely inn. The rooms were attractive and the beds were extremely comfortable. Our inn keepers were knowledgeable, friendly and the breakfast was top notch.We enjoyed dinner at the Barndiva and a self guided bike tour outfitted by Wine Country Bikes in Healdsburg. We visited several wineries along Dry Creek with a yummy lunch along the way at the surprisingly gourmet dry Creek General Store.

Highly recommend. Keren & John are gracious hosts and with the Inn's period decor, we considered ourselves guests in their home. John's breakfasts are delicious and the evening wine hour is a friendly gathering -looked forward to John's homemade pizza but afternoon showers prevented firing up the o/s oven. The location was great for our initial visit (Michiganders) as we took day trips to the coast and upper Napa Valley as well as "local" wine tastings.

It was our first time in Healdsburg... Great company - we met the nicest people during our stay here - and the town is walking distance away. We had dinner both nights in town and enjoyed great recommendations and wonderful food. Healdsburg is a truly pleasant place to visit and we can't wait to come back. Too bad we ate out our second night because John decided to have an impromtu and most unexpected outdoor pizza oven night - he is truly an artist and a generous host. Our room was gorgeous and comfortable, coffee spectacular, hospitality was endless and the breakfasts were to die for. We'll be back.

My wife and I stayed in the Sunset Room at The Haydon St Inn for 2 nights as part of our honeymoon in July 2011. We loved the Inn from the moment we arrived (conveniently just in time for Wine Hour) and enjoyed our stay immensely. The room was well appointed and was really charming. Our hosts John & Keren made us feel very welcome and the service was outstanding. A special mention must be given for the unbelievable 3 course breakfasts. A real treat and most unexpected. Location was great with just a 5 min walk into the centre of town. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back!

The Haydon Street in is the perfect location to stay in Healdsberg. It is walking distance to downtown and within driving distance to many other wineries. The rooms are comfortable and the breakfast is wonderful! The Innkeepers were also very helpful providing recommendations on places to visit and places to eat. We highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast.

My husband and I were recommended the Healdsburg wine region and we decided to stay at a B&B for the first time. The location was excellent- walked an easy 10 minutes to dinner in the centre of town. The rooms were so gorgeous- we had the turret room- queen deluxe and it was so unique and special! The service was amazing. Karen gave us maps and information on great restaurants, wineries and shops. We also followed their self drive winery tour of the area. They hosted "wine night" and provided wine and home made dips, cookies, nibbles. Then, John in the morning made an exquisite 3 course breakfast- delicious! What a wonderful experience. We loved the feel if a B&B. We would certainly return to the Healdsburg region and Haydon Street Inn. Thank you, Nancy and Lloyd- Australia.

Women's only garage boot camp classes are small, never over six women. They are quick, lasting only 30 minutes, and effective. The class targets full body and also gets your heart rate elevated which will keep your metabolism firing the rest of the day.
Welcome to Bridgeport Fitness, LLC.
After several years of experience as a nationally certified personal trainer in the Portland metro area, I was tired of watching men and women not getting the results they were looking for by joining a gym.
Throughout my career I've seen two kinds of people: those who think that merely paying a gym membership alone will give them the body they want, so don't bother going; and those who spend hours working out and don't see results.
It's frustrating to watch people fall short of their goals! And as a fitness professional, it kills me. Getting where you want to be simply requires proper exercise instructions and nutritional knowledge.
My philosophy is that everyone deserves to feel great about their body. That's why it's my personal goal to help anyone and everyone with the desire to get the body they always wanted. I personally have structured the most effective way to lose weight and inches while enjoying almost every minute of the workout. I have created a high-energy atmosphere where you will succeed in your goals.
The most cost effective way to get involved is through my custom boot camp classes that are offered every day Monday through Friday. I am also available for in Home training in the Tigard, Lake Oswego, and Tualatin areas and my Garage Gym located in Durham. Check out the services page for prices and schedules.
People Are Talking!
Angelique Whitlow
I have been going to the boot camps for a few months now and I really enjoy the variety. Renea is constantly mixing up the stations and activities so that I feel like every part of my body gets a workout throughout the course of the month. The boot camp gets me up in the morning and gives me a great start to the day. I can definitely feel my body getting stronger and firmer. Renea provides motivation and encouragement even on days I don't feel like I can put forth my best effort. I have met some great ladies at the boot camp, who I enjoy seeing at 5:15 am and we have a lot of fun while we sweat!
Lindsey Card
In the past I have really struggled with consistently working out and after graduating college, I was arguably in the worst shape of my life. About 8 months ago I took charge of my fitness and joined Renea's women-only bootcamp training. I am so grateful for Renea! She is committed to helping each person reach their best and is genuinely encouraging and motivating. HIIT (high intensity interval training) always challenges my body but doesn't take over my life (only 30 minutes long!). I've gained a new self-confidence and working out has become a habit I enjoy thanks to Renea and Bridgeport Fitness!
Roz Meade
Renea has "soft-spoken, carry a big stick" personality that truly inspires you to be the best person you can be inside and out. My relationship with Renea began as a client/trainer relationship and has developed into a friend/friend relationship and that is TRULY AMAZING!

Skill Level Intermediate
When you create a PowerPoint 2010 presentation, you have the choice of linking or embedding all your multimedia assets. If you chose to link to your movies and sound files in order to keep your file size small, it's essential to gather all of your source files into a folder if you move your slideshow to another computer. If you forget one file, you won't be able to see the video or sound. Fortunately, PowerPoint has a tool that will help the package for CD utility. You don't have to use Package CD only for creating a CD. You can also use it to gather all your linked files from multiple locations into one folder.
To do this, go up to the left corner and click on the File tab and then go down to Save & Send. From there choose Package Presentation for CD and then click on the Package for CD button. In the dialog box that appears, enter a name for the CD or the folder that you're going to create. I'll call it HNP_Advertising. Under files to be copied, you can see your current PowerPoint file. If you'd like to include additional presentations, click the Add button on the right-hand side and navigate to any others you want.
I'm just going to stick with this one so I'll say Cancel. Next, click on the Options button in the lower right-hand corner. Under Include these files, it will of course include all our linked files but we can also tell it to include the embedded TrueType fonts so that it will always have the correct text, even if the other computer doesn't have the same fonts that I do. The next option allows you to set a password but I don't recommend this. If you forget the password or your recipient doesn't know it, you will be completely unable to play your presentation.
The last checkbox removes your personal metadata from the file. So no one will see who created it or when. I'll leave it unchecked and I'll click OK. Now look at the very bottom of the box. There are two buttons for Copy to Folder and Copy to CD. Copy to CD will burn a self-running CD for you. In our case, we are just trying to bring all our files together in one place so I'll choose Copy to Folder. The name I entered earlier is repeated here and I can change it if I want.
My default location is my documents folder, but I can click on the Browse button to select a new target location. I'll change this to the same folder as the exercise files for this course. But you can put yours wherever you'd like. I'll click Select and then I'll click OK to close the Copy to Folder dialog box. The next message is a security measure to remind me that if I don't know the source of my content it may not be safe. I created this entire project myself so I'm not worried.
I'll click the Yes button. I'll see the progress wheel spin and then a window will open. Here I can see that I am in the location that I chose and here's my new HNP_Advertising folder. Inside it, I can see my PowerPoint file and all of my linked videos and sounds. I also see a number of additional files, including a folder that contains the PowerPoint Viewer and the files to make it run. I'll click my Back button.
If you are going to burn this to a CD, keep the AUTORUN and the PresentationPackage. Otherwise, if your goal was just to bring your linked assets together into one folder from various locations on your computer, you can delete all the rest of the files. Since overlooking even one of your linked video or audio assets could be a professional nightmare, it's comforting to know that PowerPoint has a utility to bring them all together into one place.

The Most Attractive Photo On The Internet
Even though this was shot in 2011 for Vanity Fair's 17th annual Hollywood Issue, this image is still the most attractive photo on the internet. It's so eye catching that I had to take a second look just to notice there was a lion in the frame. As beautiful as this image is, especially those in it, I have to say that there is one celebrity missing who would have made this entire image better: Ryan Gosling. This one's for you, ladies.

Broner Confirms He Will Face Malignaggi For WBA Title
By Luis Sandoval
It appears a fight with Adrien "The Problem" Broner (26-0, 22KOs) and Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7KOs) will indeed be taking place in June at the welterweight limit as Broner himself broke the news earlier tonight.
Broner, the WBC champion at 135-pounds, was on hand at the Argenis Mendez-Juan Carlos Salgado fight card in Costa Mesa and was brought into the ring for the live crowd. When he took the mic he informed everyone in attendance that he would be making a move up to welterweight for his next fight and Malignaggi would be his opponent.
BoxingScene.com spoke to Broner afterwards and he confirmed that his next bout would be at a different weight class.
"Yeah I'm going to go get me another belt in another weight class. Anybody can get it man. I'm comfortable in whatever weight class my opponent is comfortable at," Broner would tell BoxingScene.
Broner's move up in weight would mean he would be skipping one of boxing's deepest divisions as junior welterweight houses some great fighters and several financially lucrative opponents. I asked Adrien if his move to 147 would be permanent.
"Hey man you never know, I'm flexible. Go around the corner and come back. It dont matter," said Broner with a smile.
While a venue has not been confirmed it is speculated the fight will head to New York at the Barclay Center on June 22nd, although sources told BoxingScene they may still keep the fight out west. HBO will televise the fight.
[QUOTE=The Problem;13134112]now he has and shut up all his critics about taking a tough fight.[/QUOTE]The Hell he has!! He even calls Paullie "Easy Money" so don't give me this crap about a tough fight. Even Broner doesn't agree with you.…Comment by richardt on 03-11-2013

SOTB Implementation of a Field Programmable Gate Array with Fine-Grained Vt Programmability†
AbstractField programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are one of the most widespread reconfigurable devices in which various functions can be implemented by storing circuit connection information and logic values into configuration memories. One of the most important issues in the modern FPGA is the reduction of its static leakage power consumption. Flex Power FPGA, which has been proposed to overcome this problem, uses a body biasing technique to implement the fine-grained threshold voltage (Vt) programmability in the FPGA. A low-Vt state can be assigned only to the component circuits along the critical path of the application design mapped on the FPGA, so that the static leakage power consumption can be reduced drastically. Flex Power FPGA is an important application target for the SOTB (silicon on thin buried oxide) device, which features a wide-range body biasing ability and the high sensitivity of Vt variation by body biasing, resulting in a drastic subthreshold leakage current reduction caused by static leakage power. In this paper, the Flex Power FPGA test chip is fabricated in SOTB technology, and the functional test and performance evaluation of a mapped 32-bit binary counter circuit are performed successfully. As a result, a three orders of magnitude static leakage reduction with a bias range of 2.1 V demonstrates the excellent Vt controllability of the SOTB transistors, and the 1.2 V bias difference achieves a 50× leakage reduction without degrading speed.

text: Posted February 20, 2009 i know that this is a tender subject for you but even if there were a few battle groups they'd still not be able to do much, especially if they openly provoked iran. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Challenge_2002 the falklands showed that huge naval groups are kinda obsolete, and the cole showed that it doesn't take much to knock out even the biggest ship. that said, two weeks of no oil would be absolutely catastrophic. and even if the US navy could without a doubt secure the straits (which the operation above shows it probably couldn't) it's not like the the presence of battle ships would necessarily lower insurance prices.

Bubbles at the double
You can learn all you need to about the Champagne region in a weekend.
A lazy riverbank scene in the heart of the Champagne-Ardenne region
It was a warm, sunlit day in the cathedral city of Reims, France's Coronation City, in the Marne region of Champagne Ardenne. But inside it was a cool 10 degrees with 85 per cent humidity, the lights were dim, Je t'aime - the song Radio 1 banned for being too sexy, remember? - was playing. Above me were a bas relief of frolicking naked cherubs, and at the bottom of the stairs was Silus, a Frenchman, waiting to take me into a room full of guitar-playing finches.
By any standards, this was a surreal moment. As I descended into the subterranean chalk caves of the Pommery Champagne house, Silus led me through a temporary art installation where these tiny birds set off music when they landed on guitar strings. In the caves beyond were an astonishing 25 million bottles of champagne stacked to the rafters in 30 metres of tunnels.
"Do you know how many bubbles there are in a bottle of champagne", Silus asked as we passed a huge airplane propeller - another artwork.
"There are 50 million, and they are all created in the bottle during the second fermentation," he said as we passed an inflatable military tank.
Passing through a tunnel called Manchester, I paused to ogle at the 40,000 Jeroboams (each holds three litres of Champagne, or four regular bottles) stacked against the chalk walls. Apparently there's huge demand for them at weddings, celebrations and motor-racing events.
Getting there
P&O Ferries (www.poferries.com) has Dover-to-Calais crossings from £30 each way. Chateau Etoges, (http://english.chateau-etoges.com) has doubles from 120¤(£104); Hotel de la Paix (www.bestwestern-lapaix-reims.com)has doubles from 155¤ (£135). Further info: www.champagne-ardenne-tourism.co.uk or www.channelhoppers.net
Pommery is a super slick operation. As are their neighbours, Veuve Cliquot and Piper-Heidsieck who, like Pommery, also offer highly entertaining visits to their spectacular caves set in crayeres, or former Roman chalk mines. At Piper-Heidsieck, you don't even have to walk; the tour is in an electric car through caves illuminated by disco lights. Most tours cost from six to 10 euros, and usually end with a tasting.
Even without its famous "fizz", Reims, is a must-visit city for its bustle, café culture, elegant architecture, Art Deco facades, superb cathedral and pedestrianised streets full of good shops. If you're there for a short break, a centrally located hotel like the de La Paix - close to the Cathedral and shops - is a good base.
There are no vineyards in Reims; the city's Champagne houses import their pinot noir, chardonnay and meunier grapes from elsewhere in the region, so, if it is vines and vineyards you want, you need to go further afield. There are around 12,300 smaller houses dotted over the green, undulating landscapes, many of which may be visited.
Most you will never have heard of, and many are tongue-ticklingly delicious, and you'll never get through a even quarter of them in one weekend. But you can be in the same room as at least 100 of the best, lesser-known champagnes at C Comme Champagne in Rue Gambetta in the neighbouring town of Epernay.
Seventeen euros (£14.70) buys the opportunity to taste five bubblies and browsing is easy as each wine is clearly labelled with the vineyard, style, grape varieties and price.
One of the champagnes they sell is from the family-owned Launois Champagne House located in Mesnil sur Oger on the Côtes des Blancs, a few miles south of Epernay.
The eccentric Monsieur Bernard Launois, a portly man and an eclectic collector, is the current owner (it has been in the family for six generations) and his is a house worth visiting just for the museum. There are 17th-century presses, medieval armoury and tools, and a bizarre collection of antiques such as confessional boxes, rotisseries, pianos and old-fashioned tills as well as a room full of carved old vines and there is an entire room of them. If you want to linger, 54 euros (£47) buys a tour of the museum, a gastronomic lunch and a sampling of six champagne varieties. Or go on harvest day to pick the grapes and three years later a bottle of fizz will land on your doormat from the harvest.
My tour would not have been complete if I had not squeezed in a visit to the home town of the region's most famous son, Dom Perignon, the Benedictine monk, who lived in Haut Villiers, and gave his name to one of the world's best known Champagnes. The quaint, hilltop town has countless streets named after him, and plaques commemorating him.
That night, I checked in to the nearby Chateaux d'Etoges, for a final burst of the Champagne lifestyle. This elegant chateau, at the end of a long driveway, nestles amid vineyards in the tiny village of Etoges.
Rooms have four-poster beds, and its Orangerie Restaurant offers delicious food and superb wines. About to sip one, I remembered Dom's words on first tasting his new wine: "Come quickly brothers, I'm tasting the stars."

Why Should You Use Aquaponics But you should not ignore the DVDs. I realize that many people (specially the ones) should see everything shown on video. Don't worry since Aquaponics 4 You got that covered. This may sound easy and for one of the most part it's. But there are things you will have to take into account that are not easy. They offer all of the components to you to construct a system and the video walks you detailed on how to assemble a very basic and simple system. I wish to start this review having a slightly embarrassing story. The story is approximately my first attempts at hydroponics. This is simply not quite just like aquaponics, but does show a challenge that exists with both developing systems.
Wellness and wellness are major goals of today's young specialists and older persons. No surprise, you may see a number of gyms and wellness center operating in key cities addressing the needs of these men and women. Similarly, the demand for vegetables and organic crops has increased enormously that growing

your own organic garden has become a choice. In case you're thinking about the notion, Aquaponics 4 You is 1 book that can get you the variety of crops that you needed without having having to worry about pulling the weeds, watering them regularly, pruning them or ensuring that they get the best level of sunlight. Back-up and support can be as well accessible to whatever things you should have. (I understand knowledge sent keep and moreover was presented with brief responses from Tom very little, often around periods) Plus you furthermore can become a couple of unique technique guides at zero-cost who're probably seriously worth even though all of the help. Each of the Aquaponics 4 You support for those fee ($37, if you happen to set on putting together your present aquaponics style. 00 within the course of this method making) takes its possibility particularly if needs to expand any to begin with aquaponics garden flowers. It truly is an established truth that gardening is one passion that requires lots of your own time and dedication. The truth is, the odds tend to be more in relation to organic gardening. Nevertheless, there is 1 form of natural farming that may maybe not need from you therefore a lot of your time and effort. Inside the guide Aquaponics 4 You, everything you'll need to know about this breakthrough technologies is written.

Mary Frances "Frankie" Lombard is fiercely in love with her family's sprawling apple orchard and the tangled web of family members who inhabit it. Content to spend her days planning capers with her brother William, competing with her brainy cousin Amanda, and expertly tending the orchard with her father, Frankie desires nothing more than for the rhythm of life to continue undisturbed. But she cannot help being haunted by the historical fact that some family members end up staying on the farm and others must leave. Change is inevitable, and threats of urbanization, disinheritance, and college applications shake the foundation of Frankie's roots.

Hurt people hurt people.
Say there was a novel in which Holden Caulfield was an alcoholic and Lolita was a photographer's assistant and, somehow, they met in Bright Lights, Big City. He's blinded by love. She by ambition. Diary of an Oxygen Thief is an honest, hilarious, and heartrending novel, but above all, a very realistic account of what we do to each other and what we allow to have done to us.

Twenty-five-year-old actress Jenna-Louise Coleman has been named as the Time Lord's new companion, replacing Karen Gillan when she and Arthur Darvill leave Doctor Who at the end of next season.
"It always seems impossible when you start casting these parts, but when we saw Matt and Jenna together we knew we had our girl," Executive Producer Steven Moffat said. "She's funny and clever and exactly mad enough to step on board the TARDIS. It's not often the Doctor meets someone who can talk even faster than he does, but it's about to happen. Jenna is going to lead him his merriest dance yet. And that's all you're getting for now. Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy meets girl."
Coleman, who appeared in Captain America: The First Avenger, is best known for her role on the long-running British soap opera Emmerdale. Her character will meet Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor in the Christmas special.
"I'm beyond excited, I can't wait to get cracking," Coleman said in a statement. "Working alongside Matt I know is going to be enormous fun and a huge adventure."
Filming began last month on Doctor Who's 14-episode seventh season.
She reminds me a little of Ace, I am intrigued.

High-Skill Training:
Grants from H-1B Visa Fees Meet Specific Workforce Needs, but at Varying Skill Levels
GAO-02-881: Published: Sep 20, 2002. Publicly Released: Oct 21, 2002.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In recent years, U.S. employers have complained of shortages of workers with higher-level skills in information technology, the sciences, and other fields. To find workers with these skills, employers often turn to foreign workers who enter the United States with H-1B visas to work in specialty occupations. Despite the recent economic downturn, employers report that they continue to need higher-skilled workers. Congress passed the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to create a system connecting employment, education, and training services to better match workers to labor market needs. In 1998, Congress passed legislation raising limits on the number of high-skilled workers entering the United States and imposing a $500 fee on employers--which was later raised to $1000--for each foreign worker for whom they applied. Most of the money collected is to be spent on training that improves the skill of U.S. workers. The National Science Foundation (NSF) receives 22 percent of the funds to distribute as scholarship grants to post-secondary schools that distribute the funds as scholarships for low-income students in computer science, engineering, and mathematics degree programs. The grantees operating skill grant programs use the flexibility allowed by the Department of Labor to administer training through a variety of service delivery options to individuals whose skills need to be upgraded, whereas NSF's scholarship grant programs provide scholarships to low-income students for college degree programs. The training offered by the skill grant programs is based on local workforce needs, although sometimes for lower-skill jobs than those filled by H-1B visa holders, and the scholarship program's training is based on national workforce needs and the types of jobs that many H-1B visa holders fill. Although federal initiatives are not coordinated to strategically address high-skill needs at a national level, local skill grant programs increased coordination, though Labor provided limited assistance to enhance these efforts.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The National Science Foundation (NSF) informally encourages the sharing of successful strategies and networking by referring grantees (postsecondary schools) to each other. Formally, NSF posts grantee contacts and program descriptions on its website. In addition, NSF has hired a contractor to coordinate a meeting of principal investigators, which is being planned for October 2003, in Washington, D.C.
Recommendation: To ensure that the scholarship program improves its ability to attract and retain students to computer science, engineering, and mathematic fields, the Director of NSF should establish mechanisms to share successful strategies and encourage networking among the postsecondary schools that are grantees.
Agency Affected: National Science Foundation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Labor conducted a grantee meeting in December 2003, which was attended by over 200 representatives of the H-1B grant program. Labor also implemented the H-1B Connectivity Initiative that includes an on-line list-serve group of over 300 participants, and is facilitating ongoing conference calls for grantees to exchange information.
Recommendation: To ensure that the skill grant program can assess its effectiveness and that information about grantees' successful approaches are shared throughout the program, the Secretary of Labor should establish ongoing mechanisms to share successful strategies among grantees and encourage networking.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Labor incorporated reporting on the H-1B skill grants into its automated reporting system called the Electronic Information Managing System, which will expand its ability to collect and analyze data from grantees. Labor has taken the steps necessary to implement this system and is awaiting OMB approval. They expect to have it up and running by November 2004.
Recommendation: To ensure that the skill grant program can assess its effectiveness and that information about grantees' successful approaches are shared throughout the program, the Secretary of Labor should implement the new quarterly reporting requirements and expand these requirements to also include information on individual participants and the level of training that is being provided so they can better measure whether the program is achieving its goals.
Agency Affected: Department of Labor
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Labor's Employment & Training Administration (ETA) transferred the H-1B Skill Grant program to the Office of Workforce Investment to better integrate the program with Workforce Investment Act programs. H-1B program staff also convened a work group across ETA program offices to foster communication among programs. In addition, the H-1B program is working with the new Business Relations Group within ETA, which includes linkages to the Department of Commerce, to develop a marketing and outreach strategy. ETA has also increased the involvement of Commerce in the grant application review process, and by having Commerce make a presentation at a bidders conference.
Recommendation: In addition, in a more overarching effort to be responsive to workforce development needs, the Secretary of Labor should be proactive in building a comprehensive approach within the Department and across federal agencies to address high-skill workforce needs across the country.

When I went to college at Furman University (Go, Paladins!), I approached my class selection like a starving polar bear at a zoo buffet. I wanted to take everything. Once, while wandering down the hall in the humanities building, I stopped in the doorway of Dr. Fehler's Renaissance and Reformation class, in which I was not enrolled (yet), and listened to the entire class because there were things I didn't know.
In high school I took chemistry without lab because bunsen burners and CuSO4 were not normal kitchen staples, so when I got to college, fall of my sophomore year, I took Chemistry 11 with lab. It was the chemistry class for science majors and I was a music major, but I really really really wanted to take lab. And then I took Chemistry 12 with lab the next semester because I was not wrong: lab was fun.
Titration, pipets, goggles!
And Chemistry 12 is where I made my D+. On the test about electron valence clouds, I made a D+. Technically, my grade was the second highest in the class (lest your opinion of my intellect darken) and the professor fixed the test, but I, apparently, never forgot looking down at my paper and seeing D+. It bothered me that a professor was capable of writing a test that was so hard I didn't know the necessary information to complete that test successfully. Nerd. I know.
This week I have been buying clothes for my children for the fall season. Non sequitur? Nope.
The website, Free2Work, is dedicated to stopping industrial slavery. One of the main weapons it uses is information. And I am so grateful. I gives me the right to use my consumption like slavery fighting nun chucks.
I spend a lot of time with little boys.
Free2Work gives companies in various industries grades for their efforts in four different areas pertaining to ethical employment including Workers' Rights. My favorite clothing store, which used to get a C, now gets a D+. I'm officially pointing my finger at you, GAP.
While I am disappointed that I do not fully understand electron valence cloud shapes, my failure was just a paper transaction. My consumption of goods is a matter of life and death, dignity and abuse, freedom and slavery.
We are the Samaritan with gold in our purse wondering if we are going to load the broken stranger onto our donkey or walk on by. I certainly don't spend my days sweeping my excess cash into corners, but I do buy things and when I do, I can choose places like H&M and be the ninja warrior I really am.

This post is a race
I have a story. It's a great story. But I am racing the baby nap.
Part 1
If you have never had children, try to imagine tying a gallon and a half of milk around your neck, eliminating most of your muscle tone in your abdominal area, setting your alarm to go off every two hours during the day and (in my rare and ever blessed case) once or twice at night and you have life with a two month old nursing child.
Oh, and you are sticky. Just, everywhere. Mostly under your boobs.
This was the story when Luke and I went out. I put on my fancy new heels, my skinny (haha) jeans and ate Thai food for the first time in my life with about 20 friends. Some were new, some were not, but they all were crammed together in an overwhelmed and steamy but cheerful restaurant on the Main Street of Waynesville, NC. We all took turns passing my happy, drooly baby around and sweating freely while we made friends and chatted.
Warning...baby is waking up...
Then we bundled off to a very hot version of Annual Conference. If you don't know what Annual Conference is, ask your favorite Methodist. After they wake you back up, you will know that Annual Conference is an Annual meeting of all the clergy of the United Methodist Church of a certain area. Ours is held at Lake Junaluska at a picturesque and under air-conditioned venue.
Ok...she's quiet again...
Part 2
Next up was the reconciling worship service held in the small chapel at 8:00 pm on Friday. Attendance was not expected. There was a baby on my chest. She was as warm as the air. Half way

He had sleeve tattoos on both arms. It felt like a dozen stories crowded together between shoulder and wrist. There was a orange and goldenrod koi swimming down one forearm and a starlight sky interrupted by the cuff of his short sleeved uniform. There was an icon of a woman: Mary, St. Theresa, St. Catherine? I don't remember all of them because I am grown up and have been told not to stare. He was an employee working at the store where we were shopping for a vacuum cleaner. It was a toss away moment. An errand when nothing more magical or mystical than getting my floors good and clean could possibly happen. He was a great salesman. He said, "No, the cheaper model won't be able to handle the load of a full household," and, "let me do a price check." The things that make you feel decent about spending $299 on a device to extract dirt from your floor. Why, yes, we do have a full house hold. Why, yes, I am a hard working mother who needs great tools. Why, yes, we are being responsible and getting the best price. I shop around.
During the price check, (which did save us 20%, honest) my daughter climbed up on a conveniently located chair and began brushing the orange and red and blue and green swirls on his arms. They were tanned and lightly haired and the pictures looked smooth.
"What doze pic-sures?" her lispy voice asked.
"They are for lots of things. But I'm sure your mom don't want you to get tattoos. They're bad."
"They not bad. They pwetty."
They not bad; they pwetty. Her soul connected with that young man's and he blushed as deeply as she will when she hears this story.
One of the epic stories in the beginning of the Old Testament tells of a group of slaves who were freed through a very dramatic wizard's duel. After the snakes and the blood and the frogs and boils, there came a moment that would mark Jewish tradition forever. The Passover. The angel of death came and the first born male of every home not protected by the blood of a lamb over the door died. (Small aside: angels probably aren't chubby or feathery, and you might not enjoy Christmas dinner with one sitting on your tree.) Later, out of their captor's reach, Moses, their reluctant, staff-wielding, wizard leader, began the great tradition of remembrance called the Festival of Unleavened Bread, or Passover. During this holy time, this story was to be passed to the children and kept like "a reminder on your forehead."
No, I don't think tattoos are bad. I probably won't get one on my forehead, but that's not the point. The point is, we have a story that is important enough to stab it into the deep layers of our flesh. Like a thousand stings. Our stories are not bad.
They pwetty.
Beautiful even.
The story of the church has reached a bit of a crisis point. My house is littered with Legos. We have knights in blue and silver riding white horses, and fiends in black and red riding black horses. The world explained in black and white molded plasitc. Throughout our history as a church, our livery has been strikingly unclear. Do the good guys kill for their cause? Jesus gave clear instructions that did not include a dress code or a taboo on ink. Jesus sighed and said again and again and again, "Quit worrying about the rules and love each other. Listen to each other. Tell your stories. Tell my story. Do this, whenever you meet eat." He didn't even say you needed to have a pipe organ. Or not.
Our instructions were to go out and tell people Jesus's story and teach them to follow and remember and tell. He didn't even suggest that eleven o'clock on a Sunday morning was a particularly good time for this. He assumed we would have the decency to keep eating and, when we did, to remember his words of love and forgiveness. Now we sit in our wooden pews and listen to words and say words and sing words and promise words and pray words and we don't remember. We have crafted a world for members only where we can sit uncomfortably and talk about all the things we were asked to do. Worship isn't what we do as the church. Worship is where we come when we are so exhausted from telling and hearing and eating and remembering that we need to sit and take a breather. Worship is a space for those who need a minute to rest. It's the time we aren't out on our great commission. It's the moment that the music and the prayers and the words can refresh you so you can go out and be the church again.
It isn't hard.
Simple even.
Rape, slavery, epidemic, hunger, war, hatred, injustice, devastation, death, chaos. The danger and the brokenness seem too big. Jesus would have come up with a different strategy if he could see what we are dealing with now. There are wheat allergies for goodness sake. What is eating with people going to do? What is remembering going to do? Children are sold for sex. People are dying from water born illness while I flush my toilet with clean water. Our food is littered with chocolate that babies are picking until they die of it. What can the breaking of bread ever hope to do against all this?
It is hopeless.
Evil even.
And yet, I have seen the joy and pride on the face of a homeless, addicted man when he brought his puppy with him to church. We prayed blessings on that puppy. I have seen the eyes of a wheel chair bound woman who's body bulged out through the back and arms of her metal universe shimmer with tears under the weight of a boy's embrace. A boy who forgot to notice the brown smell of urine and unwashed body. A boy who could see the person and hear the story the world had forgotten. I have heard the voice of my son thank God, sincerely, for the gift of his dead sister—"not because she died, but because she is."
And I see hope.
Joy even.

Never Mind
I am a child of the 80's. The nineteen eighties, to be clear. America's grunge music movement came of age about the same time I did. Bands like Weezer, Jane's Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins, and Nirvana pounded through new "alternative" radio stations. I remember sitting in my peachy floral bedroom with puffed curtains and twice draped side tables listening to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit with the volume so low only I could hear. Music like that was forbidden in my house. Of course it was. I am not sure how you could listen to alternative music with your parents' consent and it remain what it was. On this side of things, considering how loud kids are, I am not surprised that my mother would ban angry, loud, riotous music. For those of you unfamiliar with Cobain's garbled teen anthem, it was everything that a teenager, whose skin suddenly doesn't fit, wanted: angst, head banging, and a probable hidden meaning.
With the lights out, it's less dangerous.
Here we are now, entertain us.
There we were, a whole generation of odorous teenagers sitting in the dark waiting for something to make life worth living. We sat glued to the images of the blonde warrior fighting our fight in a high school gym while we read the lyrics on Say What? There was some serious stuff there, or was there? There must have been. Was it me, or did that basketball goal look an awful lot like a gibbet? And the cheerleader, so blonde and popular, the feminine, so recently liberated, plastered with a scarlet A. There must have been subtext there. There must have been meaning. If we could have understood the words, the pieces would have dropped into place. There must be meaning.
Never mind.
That niggling worry over meaning would fade. Like high school. Like arch rivals. Never mind. It wasn't important. Our music was grungy and angry. We were lost. We needed for life to matter. Kurt Cobain needed for life to matter. He was terrified that there was no meaning. Life was just a vapid extension of high school.
But surely, faith gives life meaning. Surely the fight for the greater good remains. Surely we can rouse ourselves to care. The church of my adolescence tried. They made godstuff more entertaining. They made t-shirts and W.W.J.D? bracelets. They made our music cooler and turned the lights down. We raised our hands and smelled like Holy Spirit. But when they turned the lights off, we could no longer see well enough to pass the plate and the cup. We became faceless spectators. Things got lost in the dark. Doubts crept in. The God of eons and mystery was reduced to sound bytes and hyped emotions.
I feel stupid and contagious.
Here we are now, entertain us.
And Christianity of the '90's became a contagious childhood virus. A rite of passage that was, once gotten over, no longer a threat. Like chicken pox.
I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study Mathematicks and Philosophy, Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation, Commerce, and Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to study Painting, Poetry, Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry, and Porcelaine. John Adams in a letter to Abigail Adams, May 12, 1780
Our ancestors fought, bled, and died; planted, studied, and philosophized; painted, wrote, and created, and we gaze, amazed and pacified at the works of their hands hemmed in by our 2.64 by 5.44 inch worlds, searching for meaning in: a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido.
Lost and bored by freedom.
