There's 3 (good) reasons I keep watching oilers games:
1) Everyone is healthy.
For the last few years March has been the time of year when we get to watch a roster half full of players from OKC/Springfield finish off the lottery march. Every game that Hemsky's healthy has some value. Dude could have had a hatrick today if the puck was bouncing different. Alas.
2) The biggest loser race.
With CBJ's loss tonight, the Oil are 8 points clear of their 3rd straight 30th place finish. This particular season also has an extra-special battle for epic failure. Ever since Tyler Dellow brought it up a few weeks back, I've been following the race for worst team of the current CBA and damn if it hasn't been a good one. Edmonton currently sits 8 points back of Columbus and 5 back of the Islanders which seems like a pretty big gap with only 14 games left, but these are 3 tremendously bad franchises and I wouldn't put a flatline past any of them. Pretty compelling stuff.
3) Learning from other people's mistakes.
Thanks to dawgbone98 at Copper n blue and Justin Bourne at Backhand Shelf I may have actually learned something about watching hockey over the last few months. Oilers games are just chock-full of defensive breakdowns so they're a great opportunity to play 'spot the error.' My favorite from yesterday:
This one's easy, Colorado scored because Linus Omark is as soft as milk on the backcheck. Am I right internet?
But something felt a bit off about that. Why would he possibly play that soft on someone in that good of a shooting position?
I went back and watched the goal a few more times before the gears started turning.
Omark plays left wing.
How the hell does the LW end up covering the guy in the low right slot?
If you have gamecenter or PVR, the whole clusterfuck starts with 16:29 left in the 2nd. RNH actually wins a faceoff! and everything proceeds straight downhill from there. Highlights from the next 61 seconds of play include:
- Petry turning the puck over just inside his own blueline (bailed out by Smid)
- RNH and Hall combining to turn the puck over just inside their own blueline (bailed out by Smid)
- RNH neatly boxing himself out on the backcheck (bailed out by David Jones missing the net)
- Zero puck posession for the Oilers 'top line' outside their own zone
Eventually, Colorado breaks off for a change and Petry skates the puck up past the blue line. All 5 Av's are clustered together by the Oilers bench so Petry decides to skate the puck. Straight ahead. Since they play for the Oilers, Hall & Eberle decide that a turnover just before the red line is a good time for a line change.
The positioning doesn't look too bad here but Hemsky and Omark have no speed coming off the bench, Petry's flat footed, and Ryan Wilson's just off the bottom left edge of the picture with a full head of steam.
Ok, the Av's forward on the far side is wide open but Wilson decides to go outside...
And he makes RNH look like Ryan Whitney
Smid had to slide over so Wilson doesn't have a straight line to the front of the net, and manages to land a pick on Ted who returns the favor by almost decapitating Smid (amazing agility by the kid to stay on his feet though.) Luckily, there's no immediate danger since the other 2 Avalanche forwards managed to run into each other in front of the net.
At this point, Omark's back and has recognized that McLeod's uncovered so he heads down to tie him up, probably assuming that Petry and RNH are going to double Wilson. It's not ideal defence but they should still be able to keep everything to the outside.
And then it really hits the fan.
Petry somehow decides to play outside on Wilson, possibly (hopefully?) thinking that RNH is going to pressure. After puck-hawking all around the zone, RNH decides this is a good time to switch back to 1-on-1 cover and breaks for the front of the net to take McLeod.
The best part is that Hemsky already has the outside covered if Wilson tries to keep going around the wall, and Omark actually has McLeod's stick tied up. If either of Petry of RNH goes straight to Wilson then he has no lane to the front.
The chain reaction of errors is now almost complete. Petry's totally lost position on Wilson (who's a freaking DEFENCEMAN! ffs.) RNH changes his mind and decides to drop his man to chase the puck again. Unfortunatly, once Omark saw RNH turn to cover McLeod he started moving back up ice.
And Omark's left holding the bag.
I suppose you could argue that Omark should have stayed low until RNH actually came all the way up to McLeod, but there were 5 pretty clear mistakes before that and IMO they're at least as bad.
Also fun:
This isn't the first time Petry and RNH have teamed up for some epic D-zone coverage
Turns out teenagers might not be the best choice for playing D in the NHL. Good thing we'll have a new one in the lineup when September rolls around.

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
DNA vaccines, wherein a new antigen is inserted into a validated vector, have tremendous potential for deployment in pandemic applications as they can be rapidly produced in a validated, fermentation-purification process.
For this application, it is essential that the vector and fermentation process function with a variety of different antigen genes. Antigen genes may be unpredictably toxic or otherwise low yielding in standard fermentation processes, however. Careful consideration of host strain, plasmid, and production process factors have led to innovations that allow Nature Technology to routinely achieve high plasmid yields, even with plasmids known to be toxic or unstable when using standard production methods.
Several studies on various plasmid host strains indicate that plasmid yield and quality are significantly affected by the choice of host strain. Together, these studies also demonstrate that plasmid production in shake flasks is poorly predictive of plasmid production in fermentation, and that a strain's performance can be affected by the fermentation process. In general, recA, endA, and relA mutations in a host strain are beneficial for plasmid production. We have found that DH5a is a good host strain to use as it consistently produces high-quality plasmid DNA, even with difficult plasmids.
Plasmid copy number within a strain is largely set by vector-intrinsic factors. Gene therapy or DNA vaccine plasmids typically contain either the pUC or pMM1 temperature-sensitive origin of replication. This temperature sensitivity is especially useful for inducing high-yield plasmid production in fermentation. Standard ROP-minus replication origins derived from pBR322 have also been used, but have much lower copy number than pUC vectors, and consequently lower fermentation yields.
High-copy plasmids can impose a metabolic burden on their hosts, giving plasmid-free cells an advantage in culture. Consequently, even a small number of plasmid-free cells can quickly overtake an entire fermentation in the absence of selection. Plasmid-free cells can be controlled by using a selectable marker in the plasmid. Antibiotic-resistance markers, typically kanamycin resistance (KanR), allow selective retention of plasmid DNA during bacterial fermentation and are the most commonly utilized selectable markers.
To ensure safety, however, regulatory agencies recommend elimination of antibiotic-resistance markers from therapeutic and vaccine plasmid DNA vectors. The presence of an antibiotic resistance gene in the plasmid backbone is considered undesirable by regulatory agencies, due to the potential transfer of antibiotic resistance to endogenous microbial flora and the potential activation and transcription of the genes from mammalian promoters after cellular incorporation into the genome.
Elimination of antibiotic resistance from the plasmid offers additional advantages, including elimination of potential metabolic stress caused by expression of the antibiotic marker gene product, and increased therapeutic potency if removal of the antibiotic marker results in a reduced plasmid size (e.g., the KanR gene is ~1 kb). Further, the use of antibiotics in fermentation culture requires expensive process validation of antibiotic removal during plasmid purification, to prevent contamination of the final product with residual antibiotics.
Nature Technology has designed an antibiotic-free selection system (Figure 1). Vectors with this selection system incorporate and express a 150 bp RNA-OUT antisense RNA. RNA-OUT represses expression of a counter-selectable marker (SacB) from the host chromosome. SacB encodes a levansucrase, which is toxic in the presence of sucrose. Plasmid selection is achieved in the presence of 0.5% sucrose.

It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
Stocks are nosing higher to end the week, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) pushing toward the 16,000-point mark. It's only about 60 points away as I write, having gained 65 points as of 2:35 p.m. EST. Stocks are having a slow day across the Dow Jones, but most Dow components are in the green, with ExxonMobil gaining 1.8% to lead the index higher.
Health care's having a sluggish day, with both Merck (NYSE: MRK ) and Pfizer (NYSE: PFE ) hanging flat so far. Both of these pharma giants rely on their best-selling drugs to keep their cash flow up -- but which one has the better portfolio of blockbusters? Let's compare some of their top products.
Merck rallying behind Januvia
Merck's diabetes-fighting duo of Januvia and Janumet exploded onto the scene and have soared to become the company's top drugs, with sales of more than $4 billion combined through the first nine months of the year. However, revenue from these two drugs has actually declined on a year-to-year basis despite the diabetes market's surge and the growing worldwide prevalence of this disease. Considering what the patent cliff has done to sales of former top sellers like Singulair, Merck needs Januvia and Janumet to return to growth.
They still have plenty of time, because neither drug goes off patent for quite some time. The same can't be said for top-selling cardiovascular drugs Vytorin and Zetia, which will each lose patent protection in the coming five years. While Vytorin has not been much of a growth candidate lately -- it lost more than $100 million in sales over the first nine months of 2013 on a year-to-year basis -- the two drugs combined made more than $3 billion over the first three quarters of 2013. That patent loss could hurt.
Pfizer is going strong with Enbrel and Lyrica. The company only sells Enbrel outside of the U.S. and Canada, but this drug is among the world's top-selling therapies, having delivered more than $2.7 billion in sales over the first nine months of the year. Growth, though, has been elusive this year.
Enbrel won't suffer patent expiration for a while, but Lyrica, Pfizer's top seller that made more than $3.3 billion over the first nine months of the year and grew revenue by 10% year over year during that time, will lose U.S. exclusivity in 2018. That's plenty of time for Pfizer to capitalize on Lyrica's strong growth -- especially strong for such a potent blockbuster -- but Pfizer investors do need to look beyond Lyrica to up-and-comers like Eliquis.
Overall, however, both Pfizer and Merck's best-sellers still look like good bets going forward. It's what the companies' pipelines can produce, though, that will really impact these stocks' long-term futures once patents begin to expire.

The University of Texas-Pan American recently implemented the Bronc Alert, a new emergency notification system, which enables campus authorities to notify the UTPA community, when an emergency on campus occurs via voice, text or e-mail.
Bronc Alert's main purpose is to keep the UTPA community aware in the event of an emergency and eliminate the loss of life and property. Although UTPA has an outdoor warning system and an indoor warning system, this new emergency messaging system will enable the UTPA community to receive text messages, voice mails or e-mail alerts to their personal accounts or phone numbers.
When an emergency occurs, the alert system will automatically send warning and safety instructions to the person's electronic device.
"I strongly encourage all of you to join me in signing up for this very important service! This may prove to be the greatest protection for our campus community," said Dr. Blandina Cárdenas, UTPA president.
Currently only 1,700 people have signed up, mostly staff and faculty, making up only 8-9 percent of the UTPA community.
"The Emergency Response System is only as effective as the number of persons signed up," said Dr. Richard Costello, director of the Environmental Health and Safety department. "I would certainly hate for something to happen on campus (an emergency event) and that be the impetus for signing up, which is what we have found at some other universities. More importantly, we want to limit the loss of any life or property after an initial event," Costello added.
Signing up is free and everyone can join. To log in enter your UTPA ID and password, and complete the information at: www.utpa.edu/emergency. The information includes your personal e-mail, a cell phone number and a phone number where you want the alerts to be sent. Campus notifications are for emergencies only and the information provided will only be used for those purposes.
For more information, contact the UTPA Police Department at 956/316-7151. For technical difficulties, contact the IT Helpdesk at 956/381-2020 or visit utpa.edu/emergency

Family Recovery Center
Sometimes we learn through observation of the experiences of others. Sometimes we learn things the hard way, through our mistakes. Sometimes we think before we act. Sometimes we do not.
As our state tries to get control of the prescription drug problem so prevalent here, too many Ohioans will get a dose of awareness into some problems that we have not witnessed first hand. Family Recovery Center has provided information about FAS, a completely preventable problem, numerous times over the years. Today, we want to make you aware of another preventable problem, NAS.
Many people do not know the heartbreak of losing a baby, but we can imagine the pain and sorrow of the parents and family. Nor do most know what it's like to carry and give birth to an infant already addicted to drugs, or the regret and sorrow of the mother.
We sometimes imagine that the mother must be a terrible person to put her unborn child at risk, to abuse substances that she must know will harm the infant. Nor are we privy to her emotions as her child undergoes withdrawal. If a person has never suffered addiction, it is difficult to understand how it works.
FAS, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, is a condition of babies born alcoholic. Their mothers abused alcohol during pregnancy and the residual effects are some degree of retardation that will require care for the rest of the child's life. It is completely preventable. Abstinence from consuming alcohol during pregnancy is all it takes.
NAS, Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, is a set of problems suffered by a fetus or newborn whose mother abused addictive illegal or prescription drugs during pregnancy, such as amphetamines, barbiturates, cocaine, marijuana, opiates or narcotics like heroin, methadone, and codeine and benzodiazepines like diazepam and clonazepam.
The symptoms depend on what the mother used, how her body breaks down the drug, how much she has taken, how long she has been using the drug and whether the baby was full term or premature, advises the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Symptoms appear one to three days up to five to 10 days after birth, according to the NIH, and include blotchy skin coloring, diarrhea, excessive or high-pitched crying, excessive sucking, fever, hyperactive reflexes, increased muscle tone, irritability, poor feeding, rapid breathing, seizures, sleep problems, slow weight gain, stuffy nose, sneezing, sweating, tremors and vomiting.
Babies with NAS are difficult to calm. Severely affected infants need medication to treat the withdrawal symptoms, medicines like morphine and methadone, or something similar to what the mother used during pregnancy; then the drugs are slowly decreased as the infant withdraws. Such infants are slow to grow and are poor eaters. Sometimes they succumb to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
A pregnant woman who is addicted to alcohol, drugs or tobacco can talk to her health care provider about reducing and quitting substance abuse and protecting her baby, preventing the infant being born addicted, but also suffering a lifetime from something that could have been prevented. Community resources are important, resources that aide women and their children in the substance abuse crises they face. Some of those resources are clinics, counseling centers, pediatric specialists and rehabilitation facilities. Too many Ohioans do not have access to these resources to cope with their addiction related problems.
For more information about NAS, contact Family Recovery Center at 964 N. Market St., Lisbon; phone, 330-424-1468; or e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com. FRC promotes the well being of individuals, families and communities, and is a resource in our own backyard. The agency is funded, in part, by ODADAS (Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services).

To review the outcomes of patients with open pelvic fractures.
Retrospective review of medical records.
Patients admitted from the injury scene or transferred within 24 hours to a level I trauma center.
Thirty-three patients sustaining blunt trauma had pelvic fractures and adjacent wounding.
Treatment protocol that included selective fecal diversion, measures to arrest hemorrhage and prevent wound sepsis, manage associated pelvic injuries, and provide optimal orthopedic outcomes.
Main Outcome Measures:
Death and sepsis.
Exsanguination occurred in one patient and death owing to head injuries occurred in five patients. Wound sepsis occurred in 31% of patients with colostomy and 19% without colostomy.
Management of open pelvic fractures requires a well-coordinated group using several techniques. Selected patients with open pelvic fractures do not require fecal diversion. Incisions for orthopedic surgery should be considered when decisions are made regarding fecal diversion.(Arch Surg. 1994;129:958-964)

TEXSOM names best sommeliers at 9th annual conference
About 500 guests packed the ballroom at the Four Seasons in Irving Monday for the final 2013 TEXSOM event–the grand tasting. That's double the number of last year's guests. Growing steadily in popularity, the 9th annual wine education conference is the only type of its kind in the United States.
During the grand tasting, winners were announced with Scott Ota of Arro in Austin being named Texas' Best Sommelier 2013. Coming in second place was Luis La Torre of Spec's in Dallas. James Watkins of the Cordúa Restaurant Group in Houston took third.
Twenty-five Texas wine professionals, from across the state, competed in the rigorous three-part wine examination involving service, blind tasting and theory.
As the winner of this year's competition, Ota received $2,500 from the Guild of Sommeliers Education Foundation to be used for a Court of Master Sommeliers certification program. La Torre received a $1,500 scholarship and Watkins was given a $1,000 scholarship
The annual conference was founded by Master Sommeliers Drew Hendricks and James Tidwell of the Four Seasons.
"We created this event to serve our local community and in doing so, we inadvertently attracted top talent from across the world because TEXSOM is unique," Tidwell said. "No other conference integrates all levels of the business and welcomes the public like this one does."

District 10 football roundup, Nov. 1
Girard 55, Saegertown 13: At Saegertown, Joe Dunn threw for 195 yards and four touchdowns to move into fifth place on the District 10's all-time passing list as the YellowJackets (8-2) overpowered the Panthers (0-10) in a non-region regular-season finale.
Dunn finished the regular seson with 1,729 yards passing to move ahead of Sharpsville's John Naptnik and take over the No. 5 spot for career passing with 4,697 yards.
Dunn connected with four receivers for his four touchdowns, hitting Jeff Little on a 24-yarder and Cody Dinger from 11 yards out in the first quarter.
Dunn then teamed with Bryan Divido from 48 yards out in the second quarter and later in the quarter found Nason McCall on a 49-yard scoring pass to help Girard build a 48-0 halftime lead.
Kel Barnes also reached a milestone, as he rushed for 201 yards in just nine carries to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark. Barnes, who scored on a pair of 53-yard touchdown runs, finished the regular season with 1,037 yards rushing.
McCall added a second TD, this one on a 41-yard run.
Saegertown averted the shutout with a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns -- one on a 27-yard run by James Taylor and the other on a 22-yard pass from Dane Rhodes to William Bernardo.
Girard, which will take on Sharon at 1 p.m. in the Class AA quarterfinals on Nov. 9, outgained Saegertown 471-208.
Northwestern 50, Mercyhurst Prep 7: At Albion, Brandon Reiser scored three touchdowns as the Wildcats' offense dominated, racking up 408 total yards while crusing to the non-region victory
Reiser scored on runs of 6 and 18 yards in the first quarter and 8 yards in the second quarter for Northwestern (8-2), which also got a pair of scoring runs from Nate Noe. Noe totaled 123 yards, while Reiser added 102 on 12 rushes. Joe Swanson recorded the lone score for Mercyhurst Prep (3-7) on a 1-yard run in the third quarter.
Corry 55, Union City 20: At Corry, Liam Cragg's four touchdowns in the second quarter ended any suspense early as the Beavers (2-8) ran over the Bears (1-9) in the season finale for both teams.
With Corry already ahead 21-0, Cragg scored on a 1-yard run 4 minutes into the quarter, then found the end zone on a 37-yard run three minutes later. Cragg, a sophomore, then ran back an 81-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and added a 41-yard run just before halftime.
Corry opened its scoring two minutes into the first quarter with a 25-yard blocked punt return from Ryan Frontera. Nate Smith followed with a 2-yard touchdown run before finding Ryan Morris with a 20-yard TD pass. Morris also had a 71-yard kickoff return.
Union City got on the board midway through the second quarter on Tanner Hancock's 1-yard run.
Cragg led the Beavers with 91 yards on just for rushes. Morris ran for 78 yards on eight carries.
The Bears' Shane Russell led all rushers with 17 carries for 131 yards.
Greenville 37, Harbor Creek 8: At Paul J. Weitz Stadium, Nick Black rushed for 80 yards and scored three touchdowns as the unbeaten Trojans (10-0) whipped the Huskies (1-9) in the final regular-season game for both teams.
Black did all of his scoring in the first half, running for a pair of 2-yard touchdowns in the first quarter and then adding a 3-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to help Greenville build a 19-0 halftime lead.
The Trojans, who will take on Fairview in a Class AA quarterfinal matchup at Slippery Rock on Nov. 9, added two more third-quarter scores on Tyler Fattman's 3-yard run and Cody Nellis' 2-yard run.
Greenville closed its scoring in the fourth quarter on Matt Jones' 14-yard pass to Cody Igersheim.
Nick Harayda's 23-yard fourth-quarter run was Harbor Creek's lone score.
Greenville rushed for 311 yards on 45 carries, with Trey VanAken leading the way with 101 yards on 13 carries. Fattman added 72 yards on just eight attempts.
Jake Phillips threw for 46 yards and rushed for 29 to lead Harbor Creek, which was outgained 338-157.
Lakeview 60, Iroquois 0: At Stoneboro, Blake Reddick passed the 2,000-yard mark for the second consecutive season, gaining 209 yards on just six carries as the Sailors (9-1) routed the Braves (3-7) in a non-region game.
Reddick scored two touchdowns while increasing his season total to 2,194 yards.
He got plenty of help Friday night from Matt Starling, who contributed 102 yards on 10 carries.
Lakeview's special teams had a big night also, as Connor Stankovich had a 60-yard punt return for a touchdown and Sam Breese returned a blocked punt 42 yards for another score.
West Middlesex 14, Seneca 6: At West Middlesex, Eric Lucich scored twice and the host Big Reds (5-4) held off Seneca (3-7) in the regular-season finale for both teams.
Lucich, a junior running back, scored on a 24-yard run in the second quarter and a 56-yard dash in the third quarter.
Seneca recorded its score on Scott Groenendaal 14-yard interception return in the third quarter.

Jewish Holiday: The Story, Meaning, and Traditions of Hanukkah
mom • family fun & traditions • family fun • family fun-traditions
Living in an area of mostly Christians, I have discovered that there may be some confusion about the significance of the Jewish holiday, Hanukkah (also spelled Chanukah). Some non-Jews may view Hanukkah as a sort of "Jewish Christmas" because the date falls so close to the Christian holiday and Jewish children receive gifts over the week. But the celebration of Hanukkah actually has less to do with the exchange of gifts and much more to do with commemorating the courage of a small group of Jewish rebels who fought the Hellenic army to reclaim the Temple in Jerusalem.
The True Story of Hanukkah
When Alexander the Great conquered Syria, Egypt and Palestine, he allowed the inhabitants to observe their own religions as long as they did not rebel against the Hellenic laws. More than a century later, Antiochus IV controlled the region. He oppressed the Jews, specifically, by placing a Hellenistic priest in the temple and massacring anyone who practiced Judaism. He further desecrated the holy Temple in Jerusalem by requiring the sacrifice of pigs (a non-kosher animal) on the altar as a tribute to Zeus, the Greek God.
Two small groups joined together and revolted against the forced assimilation and oppression by Antiochus IV: a nationalistic group led by Mattathias the Hasmonean and his sons (including Judah Maccabee who would later reclaim the Temple), and a religious traditionalist group known as the Chasidim. Despite their small numbers, the Jews defeated their oppressors and rededicated the Temple.
Once there, the group found scarce pure oil left in the Temple to light the Menorah (a nine fingered candelabrum) which was supposed to burn throughout the night. There was only enough oil to burn for one day. Miraculously, the flames burned for eight days: the amount of time needed to prepare a fresh supply of oil. To commemorate the group's courage and the subsequent miracle of the oil, an eight-day festival was declared known as "Hanukkah" meaning "to dedicate" in the Hebrew language.
Hanukkah Traditions
Hanukkah is sometimes called the Festival of Lights because it's observed by lighting the candles on a Menorah: an additional one each night, progressing to eight on the final evening. Most Menorahs consist of eight branches with an extra arm called the shamash or "attendant" which is used to light all of the other Hanukkah candles. Other more secular traditions include eating jelly donuts and fried potato pancakes to celebrate the importance of oil.
Jewish children may also play a betting game using a top called "a dreidel" and chocolate gold coins. The origin of the game is from the time of Antiochus' oppression when Jews would conceal their studies by playing gambling games with a top (a legal activity) whenever they spied a Greek official. Finally, small gifts may be given to children during Hanukkah but are rarely exchanged among adults.
Overall, the true purpose of the holiday is actually not based in religion. It is a festival reminding the Jewish people of our forefathers' courage and the ultimate triumph of rededicating the Temple. Regardless of our numbers, Hanukkah signifies the importance of possessing the strength to stand up for what we believe is right even if others disagree or work to oppress us.

Thank you for sharing this explaination. We just attended a live nativity this week and my 6-yr-old son asked me what Hanukkah was during the show. I told him I'd explain later but truthfully I was planning to look it up online so I could learn more about it myself before explaining it to him. I got online now and saw this post in my FB feed so it was perfect timing. I'm glad I can explain it to my children better now. Thanks!
Lovely post – informative without being patronizing!
I grew up in a very Christian area and didn't meet (to my knowledge) a Jewish person until I was 17 – funnily enough, in the Chicago suburbs while visiting a friend who was half-Jewish.
Judaism is such a beautiful religion, full of precious rituals full of meaning. Renee, I think you could write a great book on the subject! I've read quite a few, but they all assume a basic starting point of knowledge or Biblical historical knowledge that is quite advanced for the 'average reader'. I'd love to read it before my next trip to Jerusalem, my favorite place on the planet…so can't wait to see you write more posts on the topic!

www.thetote.com Irish Lincolnshire 2012
John Oxx is unsure what to expect from the inexperienced Sharestan in the www.thetote.com Irish Lincolnshire at the Curragh on Sunday.
The four-year-old was unraced as a juvenile and ran just twice in 2011, making a winning debut at this track before finishing third in a hot event at Fairyhouse.
"He's a horse who has had a long break, but he's been in since Christmas and I think he's fit enough to get started," said the trainer.
"He didn't run as a two-year-old as he suffered an injury and then he only ran twice last year.
"He won at the Curragh and was then third in Fairyhouse, so he had two good runs, but then we put him away again in the autumn as we felt he could do with some more time to strengthen up.
"He's rated 97, which I think is a high enough rating for what he's actually achieved, and he's still inexperienced. We'll see how he gets on this weekend, but I can see him stretching out over further than a mile in time."
Ansaab was a winner at Dundalk in October and his trainer, Kevin Prendergast, said: "I think he'll run a good race, but he probably prefers very firm ground.
"We don't want to see any more rain and he'll probably come on for the run, but he seems a nice horse in the making."
Nineteen runners go to post, with Aidan O'Brien's Windsor Palace a fascinating contender. The seven-year-old was employed as a pacemaker for more illustrious stablemates on his final two starts last year.

Emotional truths and black comedy combine in Edward Albee's "Three Tall Women," the latest production in Amarillo Little Theatre's Adventure Space.
But what should be a searing drama only leaves first-degree burns at its best, faint scorch marks at other times. Despite its best efforts, the cast doesn't quite have the fire the script requires, resulting in a modestly satisfying attempt - but not the emotional catharsis Albee's work could have provided.
At the play's core is an autobiography of its oldest character, never named but referred to in the script as "A." The first act finds her at age 92 (though she swears she's 91), afflicted with senility, uncooperative bowels and bladder, a broken arm and old-school prejudice.
"Three Tall Women," produced by Amarillo Little Theatre, will be staged at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at ALT Adventure Space, 2751 Civic Circle. Call 355-9991.
What do you think?
Review the review at TalkAmarillo. It's your chance to agree or disagree!
We find A (Berinda Turcotte) in her beautifully appointed bedroom (a set well designed by Gregg Dunlap and David Walsh), accompanied by her caretaker, a 52-year-old known as "B" (Anne Lankford), and an assistant from the office of A's lawyer, 26-year-old "C" (Jenny Smith).
The three women are obvious representatives of the stages of a woman's life, with outlooks that you might expect. C has matters both financial and legal to discuss, but A's wandering mind complicates matters - causing no end of frustration for C, who has the usual impatience of youth when it comes to their elders. B, in turn, grows weary with C's attitude, while A floats in and out of the present.
In the second act, however, Albee shifts the play from a realistic base to a more symbolic one. There's really no way to discuss the act without giving away a key surprise, so skip the next three paragraphs if you don't want the development spoiled.
At the end of intermission, the audience sees a realistic-looking life mask of A on the bed, fitted with oxygen mask and tank. B and C now represent A at earlier stages of her life, and Turcotte returns as a less-impaired A. The play is now less about educating a callow youth about the realities of aging and more about giving a 26-year-old a vision of her own future.
Frank talk about sex, aging, morality and mortality ensues. (Very frank, so audience beware.) C refuses to believe she will become as angry as B or as resigned as A, at one point shouting "I deny you!"
The key here, as A divulges late in the second act, is this: "There's a difference between knowing you're going to die and knowing you're going to die." C hasn't reached that level of maturity yet, but as we learn, she will - as will, one hopes, we all.
The actresses hit their stride sporadically in both acts, and the fits-and-starts proceedings didn't allow momentum to build.
When everything clicks, the play is fascinating. This is a stretch for each of the actresses, and for that alone they should be commended.
Lankford is especially compelling when she lets herself go in the second act, raging against her son; the tears in her voice are wholly believable.
Turcotte is at her best in the first act, using volume control to indicate when A is lost in her mind's fog. But the difficulty of the role and its full-throttle emotional demands catch up with the unseasoned actress in the second act, and she doesn't always convince us that she's not acting.
Smith does her best with a limited role, most notably in the climactic final exchanges in the second act. She defies aging for the immature soul in all of us.
But when the actresses don't quite meet the play's challenges, the script carries them. Audiences - especially those in a contemplative mood - will be entertained.

I'm thinking of going through all the ww monk posts over the last couple of months and identifying/summarising all problems and solutions that have been suggested here and putting them in one post because, especially recently, there have been many good topics and ideas that weren't there before.
Reason I'd like to post on US forums and post now is because they obviously don't read eu forums and recently this was posted in the warrior us ptr thread:
You may think I'm naïve to believe this at face value but on the one hand they seem to be making changes recently because people have been more vocal about issues e.g. the rogue whine podcast every sunday hence rogue buffs and on the other Lore is Devolore who actually played the game as a regular player for years before becoming CM so I can see how he would actually care about player issues and do what he says he's going to do.
Monk is not a class many people play, at least not as a main, and if there are problems with it they just don't get heard or addressed since no one really speaks up about them as the community of passionate people is not sizable for this class.
I'm pretty sure if no one writes anything on official forums there will be no appropriate or impactful changes to ww monks in this PTR.
I'd maybe also suggest to mw monks to do the same because of serious pvp nerfs like the mana tea change happening now.
Would anyone post on the US PTR forums for me?

Student Success Story
Student's Experiences Transform Her Classroom
Growing up in North Carolina, Elizabeth Auciello, MA Spanish: Latin American Studies '07, always felt a little out of place. Her parents were immigrants from Argentina. "I felt that I was different from everyone else," she recalls. "I was embarrassed about my dad's thick accent and the way people mocked him"
But Auciello grew to embrace her family's culture. After college, she taught Spanish in a magnet middle school and then moved to Chile to teach English. "After being in Chile for almost two years, I was ready to come back and wanted to continue studying, to master my knowledge of the history and culture of Latin America," she says.
Finding Direction
She found AU's MA program in Latin American studies. Being in the program has been "a great experience," she says. "The faculty are incredibly supportive and have involved me in some great research opportunities." Auciello helped Professor Ana Serra edit a book on Cuban culture during the Revolution.
While in the program, Auciello spent time in Argentina researching the country's educational system. "Argentina has a free education system," she explains. "Over the years it has deteriorated from its position as one of the most excellent systems in all of Latin America to one of the most failed—due mostly to lack of funding. I am investigating what the government is doing to improve it."
Bringing Experiences to Her Classroom
Since earning her master's, Auciello has settled back into teaching: "Teaching is my passion, and this is a crucial time—immigration issues, stereotypes, and clashing cultures are issues at stake in many of our schools. I want to be there to help students appreciate what's great about Latin American culture."

- Devastation and Digression by Sasha Dugdale
Devastation and Digression
Graywolf Press. $15.00.
Katie Ford's new book, Colosseum, takes its title from a startling meditation on the Colosseum in Rome. "Built for slaughter," the building saw gladiatorial combat, execution, and wild beasts tearing each other apart, and when the Roman Empire fell and the arena was left untended, exotic plants spread over the abandoned ground, sowed from seeds in the waste of the beasts. Caught at some oblique angle within the poem, another set of reflections concern the mayfly, whose four hundred minutes of life and physical slightness are set against its survival "through antiquity with collapsing / horses, hailstorms and diffracted confusions of light." The tiny mayfly and the massive tiered structure of the Colosseum are both cycles of destruction and renewal, turning slow and small, like the wheels of God:
When it is finished it is saidAgainst the backdrop of constant mortality comes the real tragedy, spiritual desolation, which numbs the voice, renders it hoarse and hollow, the speaker clutching at the straws of objectivity and remoteness: "If I remember correctly," "I said to myself." The site of suffering is no longer the arena without, but the injured soul within: "When one is the site of so much pain, one must pray / to be abandoned."
the expiring flies gather beneath boatlights
or lampposts and die under them minutely,
drifting down in a flock called snowfall.
Ford's collection has at its heart the more recent tragedy of New Orleans, blasted by Hurricane Katrina and then flooded. It is in three parts, the first dealing with the storm, the second with flight and return, and the third with grief. My apportioning seems rather crass: Colosseum is characterized by lyricism and fluidity, and its narrative rises out of a tangled confusion of events and objects. Much in the manner of a disaster, we are never entirely sure of sequence; we live through dark days and random happenings which must be pieced together intuitively, for they hardly belong together logically. Tragedy wipes out all linear notions: time, history, inheritance. One disaster merges into another, one victim into another. In a remarkable prose poem, "Division," flight from New Orleans is within a landscape of constant geological movement: creasing, dividing. Catherine of Siena lived in hills like this, muses the lyrical voice, scouring her throat raw with twigs, so the communion she so desired would be felt:
She scalded herself at the baths, ran away to a cave, shoved twigs into her mouth so that when the host traveled down her raw throat she would indeed feel something, even a god breaking inside her.Colosseum is a study of the psychology of survival. We are left in no doubt. This matter goes to the heart of the human condition, our condition:
We love the stories of flood and the fewAt its most immediate this is simply the attempt to grasp the cup of grief which runneth over: the woman who uses the wind to open her wrists; the desire to be an unthinking vessel with no heart to be torn into "strips of weed" ("Vessel"). But then there are the seismic shifts in our understanding which happen slowly, over time. There is nothing of permanence. People are lonely in their suffering. In the sonnet "Injury," which opens with the plastic curtains around hospital beds, the injury is the transparency of those same curtains: "the thought we could not be harmed" has been felled and the convention of the sonnet is nothing more than a terrible empty irony.
told to prepare in advance by their god.
In that story, the saved are
always us, meaning:
whoever holds the book.
Tragedy and devastation are hard things to write about in poetry, which doesn't of course mean that they shouldn't be attempted. There are terrible risks: voyeurism, sensationalism, the simple overbearing fact of the event. On the other hand they are the stuff of poetry: Homer, Shakespeare, the poets of WWI in Britain, Mandelstam, Celan—all have provided a poetry that stands at some oblique angle to the suffering. Do you need to witness or partake of suffering to write about it? I think perhaps you do, if only to find the correct oblique angle from which to write. Katie Ford's is a finely-wrought lyrical beauty, a poetry of detail and care, but she has set it within an epic arc—the small wheel of individual life revolves within the larger human epic. And though we know that she has felt everything on her own pulse, still nothing is personal—the poems rise up through the clutter of the receding floods to become observations on the universality of suffering.
A Most Marvelous Piece of Luck, by Greg Williamson.
The Waywiser Press. $22.00 cloth; $15.95 paper.
Greg Williamson's book A Most Marvelous Piece of Luck is a very different endeavor. The collection is not a whole "themed" narrative, but a series of sonnets. The sonnets are all similar in structure, having two quatrains in rhyming couplets and then a sestet. As far as I can see the last four lines are always rhymed ABBA. I mention this rather technical business now because the principle of sonnet structure seems to define the collection and provide its thrust. The poet uses this rigid structure for short meditations on phenomena in contemporary life, almost all with a single word title, beginning the book with a sequence on the "elements," loosely speaking:
You wanna run a windjammer, you'll need wind,Williamson's buoyant voice is constant—we're given a blast of amiable poetry on each page, the sonnet form providing a degree of pressure which might not otherwise be there. We're invited to admire the poet's agile rhyming: "Bermuda grass or fescue?" is rhymed with "Couch Potato to the rescue" ("Man"), and Williamson has compensated for his traditional structure with slang, neologisms, technical and scientific words, and a good deal of fun:
And wind is simply air that's flowing from
High pressure zones to lower ones to find
Its atmospheric equilibrium.
—From Wind
Dogs smell very well, they sniff things outThere is little point in searching for great depth in these poems. They are playful and quick-witted, but the arguments they pursue are mostly on a single linguistic level. Even the propitiously named "Soul" fails to rise into metaphysics. More enervating for the reader, though, are the technical lapses: clumsy irregular lines ("Where you have wound up having to pay / for sex") and extremely strained rhymes, which are disguised as clever jokes. It is hard to fully rhyme sixty or so sonnets, and the effort nearly killed the poet, one suspects. Much padding is needed to prop some of these lyrics, including superfluous bracketed comments and digressions. It is an odd thing that the sonnet, designed to hone the poetic argument and pare it back, has in this case served to blunt the edges of the poems.
With glee—dead birds, butts, bugs, the garbage can—
But we gross out, won't even talk about
BO, bad breath, feet (his feet), farts ("young man!")—
—From Smell
The other problem with the sonnet form as it's used here is its monotony. As I mentioned, Williamson uses the same structure over and over, even using the same phrase at the volte-face. Many, if not all, of the poems set up a historical precedent in the first two qua- trains and begin the sestet with "Until": "Until, grades in, you ditch Foucault and foot" ("Criticism"), "Until one day there's no room left of you" ("Space"). Every page has the same readymade shape. It is quite impossible to talk about the form reflecting and heightening the content, as it does, for example, in Katie Ford's "Injury," because the shape is imposed. The poet has made a decision to write a certain sort of sonnet, and the subject matter is almost immaterial.
I found myself thinking a great deal about form after reading A Most Marvelous Piece of Luck. I imagine Williamson would justify his use of form by referring to the great collections of sonnets. Are they monotonous? The fundamental difference is in the depth of the poem. A sonnet is a small cage made of some precious material. It suits a certain sort of poem, which combines static utterance with dynamic emotional development and mines the tension between the two. Often the reduced space means that words have to work twice as hard, and are milked of their every meaning. The sonnet should tackle matters central to our lives, the irreconcilable truths of our existence. And then of course there is a sublime gentleness in the most miraculous sonnets which somehow takes the harshness out of this impossible labor. It is unfair to compare any newly published poem to a classic. Poems need to grow and take root a little. But Williamson's energies and breadth of vision might have been better served by another, looser form which allowed him to speak the truths of our lives without euphemism, without digression.

Thanks...maybe once I get used to the firmware I'll play with that. I'm just checking open9x on the computer and they got an update on it too so hopefully I can get a heli set up on it later on. Still learning the software. Maybe I can use those for the lights...not sure or just assign a switch I guess.

When I put full flaps down for landing, my expo and rates changes, and if the plane balloons up from the flaps I can trim it to fly level and when I put the flaps back up the trim goes back to how it was before. All from the flip of a switch.
That feature alone takes the guess work out of mixing in elevator when you put the flaps down. Now you dont have to fly and then land and try to guess how much elevator to mix it with the flaps
That sounds very cool. One day I'll learn to fly airplanes. I'm still working on getting my helicopters dialed in from all the broken parts or parts that just refuse to last. It's always something with them...
FWIW, er9x has 3 flight mode trim sets possible.
Not quite as sophisticated as the multiple flight phases in Open9X, but quite useable.

Trying to setup a 9xr to fly my dlg. I have one wing servo into aileron and the other wing servo into gear. I was able to fiddle with the mixes some how and get the mix to get the ailerons working. I have no idea how I did it, but it works.
I'm not having the same success getting a mix created to make both ailerons work as flaps via a switch. Either the gear switch or aux2 potentiometer, aux 2 would be better because I could change the amount of flaps. With the mix active I still want the aileron stick to actuate the ailerons as well.
Okay thanks. Now I have another question and I hope I can ask this without confusing anyone. Is there a particular order to read the cyc1,2,3? I'm just testing the heli templates wizard and I used the picture to help me. I also like to use the same servo numbering that bob white did on his heli setup videos. I believe it's futaba, AETR to keep things simple for me. Meaning if you're behind the heli, servo one is the front right, 6 is the front left and 2 is the elevator. I think I got this right. When I look at the mixes, channel 1 is cyc2, channel 2 is cyc1, etc. These don't match and I know you can pretty much configure whichever you want, so for now I'll just ignore the cyc number as long as I get the correct servo moving. I thought they would normally match for example and not worry about the number. Well at least I try to keep things simpler as not to confuse myself too much. I guess I'm wondering if anyone even uses the cyc numbers to figure out the channels. I was wondering if I should start counting cw or ccw, but where would 1 start, but since anything is assignable it wouldn't matter I guess, but I was just curious and confused by it so I thought I ask about which one to count from if this were the case. Forgive me if this confuses anyone, I'm just looking at the mixes and just thinking about what each setting is doing or how and why they're are being assigned the way they are. I should note the wizard only shows the colors and not actual cyc numbers.
Here are some templates I found some time ago (I think it was on 9X Forums) which may help. They are not my work, so all credit to the original author. PDF for descriptions, eepe files for the mixes, so you will have to download and install Eepe to view and simulate the mixes.
Thanks, I'll take a look. Yes I'm checking out the simulator on the companion9x as it's based on er9x. I think there are a few minor differences, but I could be wrong as I really haven't used either much. I just loaded a new set of the heli templates in companion9x too. I checked a few more items on the preferences to see what they had which I forgot to do the first time around. So I'm still trying things out.
The flight phases in Open 9X give you a way of collecting a lot of things under one named phase. This name is displayed on the screen when the flight mode is activated. You can define which combination of switches enable the flight mode.
There are separate trims for every condition if you want, and delays transitioning from one condition to the next can be done.
This brings Open9x more in line with other high end radios in how flight modes/phases are handled. You can do most of this (with the exception of the names on the screen) with er9x, but not quite as elegantly.

Hi guys;
I realize I am probably going to cop some flak for the following, However after a number of attempts at trying to set the 9xr up, I will say that I think that while this appears to be a great radio, but trying to set this up is a bloody atrcious. I feel that there is no true step by step manual, no explanations of the possible results. At the moment I am trying to set up to fly my t-rex 500, with the dx-7 no prob futaba 9cap no prob, the xr, crap. The throttle will not close totally, and the throtte screen is blinking in and out, if I change to another model, the screen is solid, but throttle not operating, obviously it is something I am doing not the radios fault, it is something I have done,, but nowhere can you just read a manual to see why or how to fix it, no manual, you know the one that is clear, that comes with name brand radios.

Thanks for the templates, I'll look at them later. For some reason I wasn't getting an email telling me there had been replies, must be a subscribe button I didn't hit.
I figured it out with pure determination. I disabled the gear channel servo mix to aileron. I then messed around until I got a mix to turn on with the gear switch and once on the aux2 switch moved from neutral to down flap. At first it the aux2 switch would move the aileron up and down just like the stick. Then I when to the curve tab and changed it till the aux2 switch only moved the aileron servo from neutral to full down. I then copied that mix from channel 2 to channel 5. I then had to recreate the gear channel to aileron mix to get the two wing servos working like ailerons.
So how I have it working is aileron stick left and right works always. When I hit the gear switch I can dial in the amount of flaps with the aux2 dial
Here is a pic of the mix window

Our Worst Fear
"The 4-year-old daughter of former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson died Tuesday, a day after she was injured in a treadmill accident in her home, police in Phoenix, Arizona, said.
News of the death of Mike Tyson's young daughter is a sad reminder of our vulnerability as parents. Once you become a parent, news of the death of a child is never again simply sad or tragic; it becomes personal – a reason to hug our children extra tight or give them an extra kiss at bedtime.
I've laughed with friends about how the first time our children slept through the night, we woke suddenly and immediately checked to make sure they were still breathing. And we've recounted the stories of how the first few times we had our firstborns alone with us in the car, we stopped a few times to check because they were too quiet, and we wanted to make sure they were okay. We laugh at our fears – but deep down, we know we're vulnerable.
About a month before Ashley was born, a coworker's 5-week old baby died of SIDS. In the first few weeks after Ashley's birth, I was constantly on guard. When she breathed too quietly, I would lay my hand on her chest to make sure she was indeed breathing – unfortunately sometimes jostling her slightly and invoking the baby startle response. (Luke is lucky to be the second one. I was still worried about him – but I was better at checking to ensure he was breathing without actually disturbing him in the process.) And the fear of SIDS haunted me at least until Ashley's first birthday. And, even now, if the kids sleep in just a little too long, I have a moment of worry.
Many of us in hearing of the death of Tyson's daughter will say "I can't imagine," but the truth is that, as parents, we can imagine because it taps into one of our deepest fears – that something unbelievably horrible will happen to one of our children. And, so tonight, as I gave Ashley and Luke an extra kiss before bed, I said my own little prayer that they would stay safe, tonight and always.

The First Crush
"Colby will think I am soooo beautiful today," Ashley tells me on the way to preschool. When I ask who Colby is, she replies (in that "jeez,-don't-you-know-anything-mom" tone of voice), "My friend."
On this particular morning, Ashley has taken great care with her hair, using practically every hair clip she owns to create quite a unique hairstyle. When I ask if Colby is the reason she spent so much time on her hair, she replies "Yes," (in a "well, of course" tone that I imagine was likely accompanied by some kind of eye rolling).
Oh, my little girl is growing up!
I think her first crush is cute, but I can't help but wonder, where is it that she has learned that the way you attract boys is by being "beautiful" – not smart, not funny, not kind, but beautiful. I know I tell her often that she's pretty, but I hope I also tell her that she is smart and thoughtful and creative. I hope I instill in her the belief that she has a lot to offer boys – and that she won't let herself be shortchanged only by focusing on the "beauty" part.
While I hope she will know that beauty isn't the most important criteria by which to measure her self worth, I must admit I love the absolute self confidence she has. She is positive that she is beautiful. She isn't asking my opinion or hoping that Colby will approve of her "look." She is absolutely certain that she is beautiful, and that Colby will, of course, recognize that.
I am sure that someday she'll be somewhat less confident. But I hope that on more days than not, she holds on to a sense of that unwavering self confidence that needs no affirmation from anyone else.

Reflections on Mother's Day
Ashley has been excited for Mother's Day to arrive since last weekend when she went shopping with her father for Mother's Day gifts. This is the first year that she has really had an idea of what Mother's Day is all about.
Ashley began the morning by asking if today was Mother's Day (a question I've been answering since Monday) and then shouted "Happy Mother's Day!" when I told her that, yes, today was finally Mother's Day. She made breakfast (toast) "all by herself" (with a little supervision from Andy) and then happily showed me the necklace she had selected during their shopping excursion last week. (Of course, I later learned that she "really, really liked" the necklace and would be happy to wear it when I wasn't.)
Luke still doesn't understand much about Mother's Day, but he's in a rather cuddly phase regardless, so I've been treated to plenty of "I love you, Mommy" and requests for snuggles ("Nuggle, Mommy"), which are always heartwarming.
And today, like the other Mother's Days I've celebrated since becoming a mother, I think about my children's birthmother. My chance for the joy of motherhood came about because of her difficult and brave decision to make adoption plans for children she felt unable to parent in the way she felt they deserved. So today, while I send good wishes her way, I also stop and wonder whether I live up to the hopes and trust she placed in me when she allowed me the privilege of mothering her birth children.
I suspect I'm not the only mother who often wonders whether I do "good enough" for my children. I know I'm pretty good at the basics – after all, as a therapist working with children and families, I know about child development and I'm often working with parents on discipline strategies. I know we have good limits and boundaries and schedules – and that we're generally consistent at enforcing them. I know that we provide Ashley and Luke with the right kinds of stimulation and lots of family time.
But there's always that nagging question – beyond the basics, am I good enough? Do I spend enough time with them? Do I yell a tad too much? Do I remember to tell them often enough about the good things they do? (I especially ask myself that question on those particularly challenging days with Ashley.)
I wonder if they will grow up knowing that I really like them in addition to loving them. And, I wonder if they will like me when they grow up. Will they call and visit out of a sense of devotion – or because they really want to?
I was also reminded today of the origins of Mother's Day – which was not about cards or gifts or our individual relationships with our children. Mother's Day has its beginnings in a proclamation by Julia Ward Howe, who was passionate about peace and equality. After working with widows and orphans of Civil War soldiers, she saw first hand the devastation of war, and so in 1870, she issued a call for women to come together to work for peaceful resolution to conflicts.
Here is the text of her proclamation:
Arise, then, women of this day. Arise all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be that of water or of tears. Say firmly, we will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of a devastated earth, a voice goes out with our own. It says, "Disarm! Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor, nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first as women to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them solemnly take counsel with each other, as the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after her own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God. In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality, may be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient and the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.
Julia Ward Howe did not live to see Mother's Day declared an official holiday (which happened in 1914, four years after her death). I'm not sure what she would think about our current celebration, which is far from her idea of a "Mother's Day for Peace." But, her message that we as women can join together to work toward change in our world is still an important one.
I do know that as a mother, I am more passionate about issues of social justice than I was before having children. Part of that, I think, is the realization that I would like some things to be different about the world my children grow up in. And, part of it is the desire to show my children that even ordinary people can be a voice for change.

While I believe it's important that I be active and involved in issues that face the larger world, I also believe that many changes begin much closer to home. Peace and justice are worldwide issues, but they are also neighborhood issues, and even family issues. After all, I can't very well advocate for peace and tolerance in the world at large if I can't be tolerant and model peaceful problem solving in my own home.

I'm reminded of a quote from Mahatma Ghandi – "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." So, in the end, peace and justice and equality are as much about how we treat those around us (including the little people who live in our houses) as they are about how we interact with the world at large.

Mother of the Year
This is one someone sent to me (I'm really not being vain, here!). You can customize it for someone you think deserves the honor -- or even for yourself!
