You can create your very own cards to shine, sparkle, and spin. A quick trip to a craft store can net you a few things that can help you turn out beautiful and amazing holiday cards.
What fun is it to make a building? Just a building, maybe not so much fun. But how about a superhero headquarters, a garage, a space station, a cottage, a stable, or a fashion doll house? By using recycled materials from around the house, and a few craft supplies, you can design your own toys exactly the way you want them.
Updated November 15, 2013: Your old computer is capable of one more major feat: helping to cure diseases.
The Central Rappahannock Regional Library is participating in America Recycles Week: November 5-13.
Help local nonprofits and learn more about recycling in our community by joining the Recycling Committee of the Rappahannock Group Sierra Club and Ten Thousand Villages in celebrating America Recycles Week!
There are several ways to participate:
Download this PDF with all the details and a list of participating area locations.
Punch cards:
1. Pick up a recycling punch card and a list of all participating organizations at any sponsor donation location during the week of November 5. Participate in at least 10 sponsored recycling activities to complete your punch card by November 13. Bring your completed punch card to the Closing Celebration at Ten Thousand Villages on Sunday, November 13 at 1pm to enter the door prize drawings! *
"Tag Your Bag:"
2. Develop a new habit - Bring your reusable bag as you shop locally this week. Pick up your recycled tag to attach to your reusable bag at any of the week's events. Purchase at the listed sponsors and use your own bag. Ask sponsors to initial your tag. Get 6 initials and you will be entered to win great door prizes at the Closing Celebration at Ten Thousand Villages on Sunday, November 13 at 1pm.*
*Must be present to win.
Since 1997, many Americans have set aside time to encourage recycling efforts in their communities each November. While it's true people of an older generation practiced thrift as a matter of necessity, many young bloods were buying into a throw-and-go mentality, not realizing that reusing resources is a good way to take better care of ourselves, our neighbors, and our planet.
Getting Punchy
For National Recycling Week, the Central Rappahannock Regional Library will be joining other organizations and businesses for a fun week of recycling activities. Collect punch marks for a chance to win door prizes at the end of Recycling Week. You can pick up a card at any participating group, including the library. Get a punch for going on a Leave No Trace Hike. Get a punch for a visit to a rain garden or attending a seminar. Or, do it the recycling way.
Holly and ivy, pine and balsam, there are so many sweet smells of Christmas. You and your family can make your own beautiful wreaths to decorate your home or give to friends and neighbors.

2009 Chateau Raymond Lafon Sauternes
Producer: Chateau Raymond Lafon
Style: Sweet Wine
Grape Type: Semillon
Origin: France
Region: Bordeaux
Appellation: Sauternes and Barsac
92-95 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - May 2010
(an 80/20 blend of semillon and sauvignon; 13.8% alcohol; 138 g/l residual sugar; pH 3.94; 50% new oak) Rather pale yellow-gold. Very intense aromas of orange blossom, lemon curd and tangerine zest are complicated by a pretty floral nuance and show strong, clean, pure botrytis character. Enters dense, sweet and honeyed, with noteworthy depth and precision to its flavors of fresh citrus fruit, apricot and saffron. Though quite sweet, the wine's sound acidity gives it impressive clarity, and the smooth, viscous finish goes on for minutes. This extremely successful Raymond-Lafon is one of the stars of the vintage. Owner Jean-Pierre Meslier told me that 2009 was exceptional even in the relatively generous quantities produced, as yields at this property have averaged only about 10 hectoliters per hectare over the past ten years but were 20 in 2009.

text: On July 28, my husband and I joined the courageous group of college and high school students, as they went out for the 14th year to do what they call: "Face the Truth." Their 15 stop journey began on U.S. 340 in Charles Town, in front of Food Lion. It is always so refreshing for me, as a retired teacher, to see these young people out to defend other little people, whom they consider their brothers and sisters in Christ. They are inspiring in their true, untiring, caring. devoted and courageous stance. They accept criticism, disdain, ridicule, as well as encouragement from the public. Their courage is remarkable.

What's behind call selling in gold miners
Chris McKhann | [email protected]
optionMONSTER systems show that a trader sold 5,000 January 37 calls for the bid price of $1.12. This is clearly a new position, as the volume was more than twice the strike's open interest before the session began.
The calls appear to have been sold against stock, as a block of 120,000 GDX shares traded shortly after for $28.225. The combination of stock and options creates a strategy that is looking for lower volatility and/or range-bound trading.
The GDX is down 1.43 percent to $28.56. The exchange-traded fund hit a low of $27.27 a week ago as it collapsed with the price of gold. Shares were at a high above $55 last September but have been trending lower since.

U.S. Rep. Jim Gerlach, a moderate Republican delicately balanced in a majority Democratic district, recently campaigned for an issue that absolutely everyone supports: protecting kittens and puppies from peril.
During a campaign stop at Buzzy's Bow Wow Meow in Ardmore, Gerlach stopped to pet a graying golden retriever named Winston and a rescued boxer named Jackson, who jumped when something fell from a nearby shelf.
After accepting an endorsement from the Humane Society Legislative Fund, Gerlach mentioned two bills he supported that would prevent the crowding of horses into double-decker trailers and would ban the making of "crush videos," which show animals being tortured to death.

Syracuse University guard Brandon Triche appears to be emerging from his self-described "shell."
Triche recently returned from Chris Paul's CP3 invitation-only elite guard camp for high school and college point guards. Triche and SU teammate Scoop Jardine each competed in the camp, which was held June 10-13 in Paul's North Carolina hometown of Winston-Salem. Just 17 college players earned invitations to the gathering.
Triche, who will enter his junior year at SU in the fall, described the experience as "great." It was his second straight year at the camp. This time, though, Triche said he felt comfortable enough to socialize with his fellow campers.
"The first year, I was more shy, more quiet, more in my shell," Triche said Tuesday. "This year I was able to go there, meet guys, hang out with guys and then compete against them."
Triche said he and Jardine were never paired on the same team. The format, he said, consisted mostly of drills designed to improve their games.
So what did Triche take from the experience?
"I just think it's the hunger, just competing at the highest level," he said. "It's a different intensity, a different mindset. Mentally, I'm just growing. I think I've been too humble going into games."

The couple wants to marry before Hurley leaves for his duty station in Fort Hood, Texas, according to a news release from City Hall. Hurley recently completed basic training and is scheduled to leave in two weeks.
Someone suggested Walling perform the ceremony, and the couple thought it was the perfect idea, Kushuba said.
"We were brainstorming how to do this in a short amount of time," she said. "We are so excited the mayor said yes."

News from Upstate
Doretta Royer 315 464-4833
Paige's Butterfly Run raises $220,000 to fight childhood cancer at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital
SYRACUSE, N.Y.— For 16 years, Chris Arnold and Ellen Yeomans have served as champions in the fight against childhood cancer, raising more than $1.5 million to support cancer research and cancer care at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital.
They've now added an additional $220,000 to that amount—money raised through the 2012 Paige's Butterfly Run. The annual run is named for their late daughter, Paige, who received care at Upstate's Dr. William J. Waters Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders.
Arnold, Yeomans and their committee presented the check for $220,000 to children's hospital staff Dec. 31 during a celebration to mark the success of the 2012 run. Included in that celebration were pediatric patients who were treated to butterfly-topped cake and cupcakes, courtesy of Walmart.
"This celebration has become an annual event for us and the children look forward to the fun that it generates," said Toni Gary, director of Community Relations at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital. "To say anything less than that Chris and Ellen have significantly and positively impacted the lives of our children with cancer, their families, and the efforts of our medical, nursing and cancer research staff, would be an understatement."
Throughout the years, contributions from Paige's Butterfly Run and related activities have been used for a wide range of Upstate initiatives. These initiatives support pediatric cancer care, cancer research, and the families, themselves, who are faced with the many challenges presented by a diagnosis of childhood cancer.
Some of the initiatives to benefit from this year's gift include:
• The Paige's Cancer Research Fund at Upstate
• Paige's Family Assistance Fund. This fund helps families at the Dr. William J. Waters Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders who are having financial difficulties as a result of their child's illness. The fund is also used for:
-general assistance, including burial costs and a grief counseling program
-sand therapy equipment and materials;
-equipment for hemophilia patients;
- Upstate's Survival Wellness Clinic, which includes assistance to uninsured patients and for education of local and outlying physicians and other medical providers.
-Neuropsychological testing for children with cancer;
- A backpack comfort kit for newly diagnosed patients and their families. The kit will include items such as toiletries, gift cards for food and gas.
-patient parking assistance
• Paige Yeomans Arnold Memorial Endowment Fund. A portion of this permanent endowment, established with the Foundation for Upstate, will be used in the future to fund research and to provide financial assistance to families having
difficulties due to their child's illness.
• Paige's Family Fun Fund. This fund provide the child life specialists at the Dr. William J. Waters Center for Children's Cancer and Blood Disorders with a variety of funds to cover family needs, such as meals, and birthday/holiday celebrations.
• Support for Upstate's new pediatric cancer outpatient clinic, to open in 2014.
The 2013 Paige's Butterfly Run is set for Saturday, June 8, with the Run and Walk starting and finishing behind the Federal Building on Franklin St. in downtown Syracuse. The run is held during the Syracuse's annual Taste of Syracuse festival. For more information, visit Paige's Butterfly Run, www.pbrun.org.

Author Biography | Interview | Books by this Author | Readalikes
Born a long time ago, in another country, Schulman has traveled enough to have vomited on four continents, including once onto a Masai tribesman's feet. He, unfortunately, was barefoot.
Schulman has published The Cage, Swimming with Jonah, A House Named Brazil and, most recently, Three Weeks in December.
Her books have been translated into 11 languages, reviewed by the New Yorker and twice been selected as notable books by the American Library Association. Her books aren't boring. For a short time, one was even optioned for a movie with Wes Craven (the director of Nightmare on Elm Street). Articles by Schulman have been anthologized, as well as published in Orion, Grist, Ms. Magazine, Bust and others.
She now lives near Boston with her family and runs an energy-efficiency nonprofit called HEET.

On Beauty (2005) is Zadie Smith's third novel, following her incredibly successful debut novel, White Teeth in 2000, and The Autograph Man in 2002. It was short-listed for the Man Booker Prize 2005 and won the Orange Prize for Fiction in 2006. Like the earlier two novels, it is a broadly humorous text, largely focused on family relations, and significantly engaged with interracial and cross-generational connections. Set primarily in the prosperous fictional university town of Wellington on the east coast of the United States (somewhat resembling Cambridge, Massachusetts), On Beauty follows the fortunes of the Belsey family, comprising Kiki Belsey, a beautiful black American woman, once petite and …

Nearly 40 percent of the calories that children consume come from junk food, according to the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md.
Cancer Institute researchers Jill Reedy and Susan Krebs-Smith examined the diets of children and teens ages 2-18.
Half of the unhealthiest calories children consume come from just six foods:
"This paper identifies the major sources of overall energy and empty calories, providing context for dietary guidance that could specifically focus on limiting calories from these sources and for changes in the food environment," the researchers say in a statement. "Product reformulation alone is not sufficient."
The article is published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association.
Some nutritionists blame the food industry for making so many foods with empty calories. They also say most parents and their kids just don't know the nutritional value of the foods they are eating.

LORDSTOWN - For much of Monday night's game between Lordstown and Mathews, the Mustangs hung around and refused to go away.
The Red Devils finally got the push they needed behind Sarah Cash's game-high 28 points to put Mathews away, 58-46.
"We actually stepped up our defense," Lordstown coach Dave Smith said of how his team earned the victory. "We got a few steals, made some easy shots. We actually missed a bunch early. Missed a bunch of layups. (Mathews) hit a lot of open shots. They hit some 3s."
Mustangs coach Veronica Titus said Lordstown's slow-down offense forced a change in defense and proved to be the difference to her team.
"They capitalized on our mistakes to start the third quarter and really with them wanting to stall the ball they held the ball for 3 minutes at the end of the third quarter," she said. "I wasn't satisfied trying to lose; It was a seven-point game. We had to go out and man them up. That's what the difference was. It (the deficit) went from eight to 12."
Mathews (8-11) fell behind 34-25 with 5:27 remaining in the third quarter but pulled to within 34-30 on baskets by Dayna Ellis and Jacki Rhine. Cash followed with six points, including a steal and layup, that gave Lordstown a 40-30 advantage late in the third. Mathews got no closer than five points the rest of the way.
"I think I played well, but there's some times that I turn the ball over a lot," Cash said. "We just need to practice on that so that next time we play Mathews we can beat them."
"She comes to play every day," Smith said. "Couldn't ask for a more dedicated player that works hard. Every night she comes to play."
It was part of a stretch in which Cash scored 10-consecutive points for her team.
Titus said not having to try and defend Cash again is a big help to the Mustangs the rest of the season.
"I don't think I have someone as good as Sarah Cash to play against, so I think I'll have a little more luck with that," Titus said.
The Mustangs fell behind 20-14 in the second quarter but fought back for the lead. Consecutive baskets by Natalie Halavick, Ellis and Maddie Williams tied the game 22-22, and Halavick hit a 3-pointer for a 25-24 lead, Mathews' first since 3-2.
Cash, however, scored with 4.6 seconds left in the half to give Lordstown (16-4) a lead it never relinquished.
With two games remaining in the regular season, Smith said the Red Devils have more work to do in preparation for the tournament.
"We're definitely going to have to work on teams that are playing the box and one," he said. "We've been seeing a lot of zones against us, them packing it in."

Dear Editor:
It appears that Billy Otts Dec. 5 Letter to the Editor indicates that he is disgruntled because Berkeley football coach Jeff Cruce wont allow Stag fans to help him coach.
Kudos to Coach Cruce, and shame on Stag fans for their lack of support (according to them) in a dismal two seasons.
South Carolina Head Coach Lou Holtz went 0-11 his first season at Carolina. However, Williams-Brice Stadium was packed to capacity for every home game supporting the Gamecocks in anticipation of things to come.
When I played high school football, my coach wouldnt even speak to his players during class changes. But he was the boss during our practices and games, with no assistance from fans. He knew what he was doing. We went on to win the state championship.
In Coach Cruces first season at Hanahan High School, he was 0-11. The second season, he was 6-6. After two slow starts, Coach Cruce won 10 consecutive regional championships at Hanahan.
No disrespect for the former coach at Berkeley, but has one considered that perhaps his foresight of coming attractions (lack of rising talent) may have played a role in his decision to step down as coach at Berkeley High School?
One should consider the feelings of the players personally with losing, and how Coach Cruce feels not only for himself, but for his players and especially for Stag fans and supporters.
Whats the old saying? Wait til next year.

The 1967 Chevrolet Nova styling was a continuation of the 1966
Nova. Styling changes were non-existent. The only noticeable change
from the 1966 production run was the loss of the 350hp 327hp motor.
This years top engine choice was the 275hp L30 327cid. Also included was a newly styled
body and interior. To many Nova fans, the 1966 and 1967 production
years are the most loved style. For buyers looking for ultimate
performance there was a 350hp 327cid motor available.
Like other SS packages in the Chevrolet lineup buyers received extra chrome
trim, SS emblems, bucket seats, different wheel covers, and minor interior upgrades
such as a console.

Out of Focus - Out of Sync
Thirteen years ago, the television networks unveiled their 1999-2000 fall television season. The lineup of 26 new shows did not feature a single actor of color in a starring or leading role. In direct response to this "whiteout," the NAACP initiated an ongoing campaign not only to address the lack of community of color representation on TV, but also the lack of employment opportunities for African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos and Native Americans in the entertainment industry as a whole.
In concert with that initiative, the NAACP in 2002 established its Hollywood Bureau, which monitors the entertainment industry in an effort to hold it accountable for advancing diversity in front of the camera and behind the scenes. Periodically the Bureau releases this report – Out of Focus, Out of Sync – on the status of these efforts, which is primarily intended to focus on the four major broadcast networks fall season shows. Thus, the NAACP's continuing endeavors to affect film and television have never been more critical, given that these media giants beam powerful images throughout the world--shaping our beliefs, opinions and decisions.
In its fourth printing, Out of Focus - Out of Sync challenges the entertainment industry to take a closer look at itself and to take more than tiny, incremental steps. We ask that the industry take a giant leap into a future that is inspired by the NAACP Vision Statement and the American dream.
Master's Writing Fellowship
The NAACP Hollywood Bureau created the Master Writing Fellowship in conjunction with networks CBS and NBC for students at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Southern California (USC.) Participating Fellows fulfill their fellowship requirements with CBS, NBC and their respective university while also participating as interns with the NAACP Hollywood Bureau. Program alum have gone on to write for such shows as NBC's Heroes and ABC's Private Practice.
NAACP Interactive Historical Timeline
The NAACPHistory.org, a powerful learning tool, sponsored by the Verizon Foundation, is the NAACP's interactive timeline that makes stories come to life by chronicling the history of our 103-year old organization and the civil rights movement through words, pictures, interviews and film.
Celebrities Lawrence Fishburne, Nate Parker, Nia Long, Tichina Arnold, Tatyana Ali, Chandra Wilson, Dennis Haysbert, and Tracee Ellis Ross all participated in the project. Click here: www.naacphistory.org, to look around, discover and learn.
Fresh-Ink Writers
FRESH INK was created to seek out fresh, new, diverse voices from within the creative community. Fresh Ink – an initiative from Warner Bros. Television in partnership with the NAACP and supervised by the Warner Bros. Writers' Workshop – oversees the development of comedy and drama ideas from writers from communities of color into viable pilot scripts for sale to broadcast and cable networks. The Warner Bros. Writers' Workshop has been dedicated to finding and helping writers of all ethnicities break into the highly competitive world of television writing since 1976. The only requirements for writers to develop ideas under the FRESH INK banner is that they be of an ethnic minority and not have staffed over the producer level on a television show.
WGAW Strike Waiver
During the writer's strike of 2008, the Writers Guild of America, West (WGAW) signed an interim agreement with the NAACP for The 39th NAACP Image Awards. The agreement allowed the hiring of WGA writers to script the show, and in addition there was no picketing of the event by striking writers-–not the case with other award shows during that period. Additionally, the Guild granted a waiver permitting the use of clips from motion pictures and television programs.

Family history means a lot of things to Lori Lehnhard.
"I have several people in my family, my dad and aunts, that have high blood pressure," said Lori Lehnhard, has hypertension.
So she knew it was important to get herself tested.
"When you check your blood pressure you're checking for relaxation as well as the tenseness of your arteries in circulation. And when you have high blood pressure it has been shown to lead to increase risk of stoke, and heart attack, and even death," says Dr. Elizabeth Cosmi- Cintron, cardiologist on Lee Memorial Health System medical staff.
It came as no surprise when her doctor diagnosed her with hypertension. Early enough that she could treat it and hopefully avoid trouble.
"She told me that I should work out, try to watch my diet and eat certain foods. And they went ahead and put me on a beta blocker which controls blood pressure," says Lehnhard.
Sometimes associated with men and their boiling point- high blood pressure is genderless. Women actually have life stages where they top men.
Birth control may increase blood pressure, especially if a woman is overweight and a smoker. And high blood pressure affects 6-8% of pregnancies, and is dangerous if untreated. Age is another factor. Up to about age 60, women are less likely to have high blood pressure than men. After that, blood pressure in women rises more sharply than it does in men. Hormones may be a part of the reason.
"By age 60 men and women start to have similar risk of heart disease. And most women may not even realize they're at risk for heart disease until they're told by their physician," says Dr. Cosmi-Cintron.
"I have 2 children and work, so I didn't realize anything was wrong with me," says Lehnhard.
But she can thank her family for putting her on the right track. Detecting a health condition before it caught up with her.

Viewers will be seeing considerably less of Philip Michael Thomas in next week's episode of Miami Vice because of an injury he sustained while shooting a scene in a dilapidated Miami building. Thomas, who plays Tubbs on the series, fell on a jagged piece of wood and developed a tetanus infection. Released after seven days in a Coral Gables hospital, Thomas was told to take it easy, but says lightheartedly, "I am a major leaguer. The incident was minor. I've come out slugging."
Jeffrey Jones didn't get an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor as Emperor Joseph II in Amadeus—or did he? In ads for the movie that appeared in the New York Times, Jones was listed as a nominee even though he didn't receive that honor. According to an Amadeus spokesman, it was the ad agency's fault....
Hollywood wives don't have anything on the women of Palm Beach, one of whom is scripting a four-hour CBS movie about Florida's answer to Beverly Hills. The writer is Gregg Dodge, whose husband, the late Horace Dodge Jr., was related to the car. The TV story blends fiction with real events and people (including Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton and her fifth husband, Dominican playboy Porfirio Rubirosa). Says Dodge, "It's about the days when people had their own cooks and laundresses—the days when parties were everything."
M*A*S*H's Mike Farrell stars as a psychologist who plays the clarinet in Private Sessions, an NBC movie airing next week. Portraying a therapist was easy: Farrell is intrigued by the subject and once led group therapy sessions at a halfway house in Los Angeles. The tough part of the role, he says, was playing the clarinet. "One thing I can't stand as an actor is pretending to do something I can't do," says Farrell. So instead of faking it, "I play the clarinet in the show. Terribly."
Too many producers don't spoil an album, according to Melissa Manchester. For her next LP, Mathematics, due in April, she has recruited seven producers—including Giorgio (Flashdance) Moroder and Quincy (Thriller) Jones—to maximize her chances of chart success. "When you have an album with one producer, he'll concentrate on only a few songs that might become singles," says Manchester. "This way, I figure each will put his best foot forward."
John Hillerman, who is Jonathan Quayle Higgins on CBS' Magnum, P.I., will have a dual role on an episode in the guise of Higgins' illegitimate half brother, Don Luis. "He's from a mythical country in South America, posing as a fop a la Zorro," says Hillerman. Sound farfetched? No more so than Hillerman's previous portrayals on the series as Higgins' bastard brothers, rodeo cowboy Elmo Ziller and Irish priest Paddy McGinnis. Explains Hillerman, "During World War Higgins' father slept all over Europe."...
Between takes of their recently released video Seven Spanish Angels, Ray Charles and Willie Nelson passed the time playing chess. So that Nelson wouldn't have the advantage, blind pianist Charles turned off the lights before the game. Says Ray, "Since I play in the dark I thought he could, too." Who won? "He did," says Willie, who wants a rematch. "But next time, we're going to turn the lights on."

Autumn weather increases deer on Oklahoma roadways
Most dangerous times dusk, dawn
Autumn weather brings more than cooler weather and colorful foliage. AAA says it also brings more deer to Oklahoma's highways, especially at dusk and dawn.
Chuck Mai of AAA-Oklahoma says the deer mating season is beginning and the animals are searching for food to build up fat reserves for the winter.
Mai also says the deer population is high in the state, increasing the risk of collisions. He says deer can run as fast as 40 mph and may suddenly bolt onto the roadway, catching motorists off guard.
The Insurance Information Institute estimates there are more than 1.6 million collisions with deer each year across the nation. The collisions result in about 150 motorist deaths, tens of thousands of injuries and more than $3.6 billion in damage to vehicles.

And to further contradict my previous rants, it is possible to write a macro to load Word Document Parts. However, none of these contradictions hold comfortable solutions. First, you can see the XML file,
customUI.xml, in my
Normal.dotm template. All I had to do was to edit this file to customize the Word 2007 "Fluent" Ribbon. This is what I did:
- Use the Custom UI Editor Tool to generate the proper OpenXML parts in the
Normal.dotmtemplate to get me started writing raw XML against the Word 2007 application. I could have done this by hand using the tool mentioned in step 2 but was too "lazy."
- Use the Open XML Package Editor in the VSTO 2008 Power Tools to write raw XML. Doing this in Visual Studio was easier on my eyes (larger, bolder fonts than the Custom UI Editor Tool) and I could use the
customUI.xsdschema (in 2007 Office System: XML Schema Reference) to make writing faster (Intellisense support). Also I found out the hard way that it is better to write this XML in a separate file in case Word panics and auto-magically deletes all of my hard work! Visual Studio is a great XML file editor.
- Use the 2007 Office System Document: Lists of Control IDs to wade through the sea of "Fluent" fluxions. Utterly ridiculous but it helped.
Okay: and now the macro thing. This is the important call in the important line of code that makes loading Quick Parts (or Custom Quick Parts) automatable: Call
Application.NormalTemplate.BuildingBlockEntries.Add(). So what's my problem? The problem is that a Range containing my custom XML does not get saved properly. Sometimes elements named "unknown" come out from the Quick Part Gallery. You don't understand what I am talking about? I can sympathize. It would take days upon days to explain to a Microsoft employee—even one on the Word 2007 team—what the hell I am talking about… My guess is that this "edge case" will be fixed by accident in a future release.
And, speaking of Microsoft employees, here's a table of resources researched for this crap I am writing:
|"Reuse and distribute parts of a document"
|This was first document that explained to me how to build a Building Block. "Building blocks are reusable pieces of content or other document parts that are stored in galleries."
|"Office 2007 "Legacy' Mode"
|In case I want to admit that I can't handle change: "No, it's not really a secret setting. It's an add-in for Office 2007 that will finally give IT admins relief from that one user who resists change in all possible forms."
|"Customizing the Office 2007 Ribbon"
|Somehow Word MVP, Bill Coan, wrote an article that misled me into thinking you could not customize the Word 2007 Ribbon without paying for it. Surely, that's my fault…
|"Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)"
|Frank Rice and Ken Getz: "Learn how to customize the 2007 Office Fluent user interface. Also learn how new features in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the 2007 Microsoft Office System support RAD development of Ribbon customizations. (40 printed pages)"
|"Mapping Word 2007 Content Controls to Custom XML Using the XMLMapping Object"
This article really has nothing to do with the Ribbon but is related to "custom XML": "Office Word 2007 has no user interface (UI) to map controls to XML with one exception—SharePoint and Built-in properties listed in the Quick Parts | Linked Properties menu."
My point? Developer tools are increasingly becoming more important (to me) for Word. It is not healthy to regard Microsoft Word as "the people's" word processor.
|"XML: The Angle Bracket Tax"
|A Jeff Atwood diversion: "XML is like democracy. Sometimes it even works." I commend Microsoft for attempting to XML-lize a word processor, but working with this is still not fun…
|"Linux.com :: The wide world of Linux word processors"
|This is a subtle admission that reading fonts comfortably in a Linux-based "free" word processor is not the greatest: "The font rendering in TextMaker is a thing of beauty, and is noticeably superior to the other programs in this review."
|"How to: Create a Custom Building Block Gallery"
|This is the article that showed that you can write a macro to load a Building Block.
|"Microsoft announces Open XML SDK roadmap"
|When Microsoft writes about "[a] content object model including additional classes and methods for simplifying developer work within parts…" this responds directly to my
GetStream() concerns in a previous entry.

How to Move from Unbanked to Banked
|Email Print
One of the trends on the rise recently has been an increase in the number of consumers who are unbanked. There are several reasons that people join the ranks of the unbanked. No matter the reason, though, the truth is that being unbanked can have some serious drawbacks — and cost even more than bank fees.
If you are unbanked, it's probably a good idea to consider joining the ranks of the banked again, if possible. You'll likely save money, and you'll have access to other services as well.
Why are You Unbanked?
The first hurdle to clear is to answer the classic question: Why? Is there a reason that you are unbanked? Some of the common reasons that people are unbanked include:
- Upset about paying fees, or feel as though they can't pay the bank fees.
- Non-citizens might find it more difficult to jump through hoops to get a U.S. bank account.
- Can't qualify for a bank account because of a ChexSystem issue, or because the bank runs a credit check.
Think about why you are unbanked, and whether or not there are ways to overcome some of those hurdles. In most cases (illegal immigrants are an exception), it's possible to overcome most of the issues associated with being unbanked.
Why You Should Consider Becoming Banked
The truth is that being unbanked is costly. It's not just about avoiding fees that some banks my impose on their customers. In many cases, the unbanked pay their share of fees as well. Check cashing fees, fees related to prepaid debit, and other expenses that come with transferring money through MoneyGram or Western Union can start to add up over time. Some estimates put the fees paid by some unbanked at a rate of close to $1,000 a year, depending on what replacement services they use, and how often they use them.
In many cases, it's actually more expensive to be without a bank than to be with one. Really look at the costs you have to manage your money without a bank. Additionally, consider your opportunity cost. When you're unbanked, you don't have access to interest yielding deposits, or other accounts that can provide you with a way to actually grow your wealth.
Becoming Banked
If you decide you want to move from the ranks of the unbanked into the ranks of the banked, you need to address the issue that is most holding you back. Perhaps the most difficult hurdle is qualifying for a non-citizen bank account. It's possible to get a U.S. bank account as long as you are in the country legally, but you should contact the bank ahead of time and find out exactly what you need to do in order to qualify. You might need to jump through a few more hoops.
For those who are disgusted with the big banks, or who don't want to pay the fees, it's worth noting that there are plenty of options. There are a number of free checking accounts and savings out there. And, thanks to technology, it's also possible to work with online banks, or choose smaller banks or credit unions. You can get the benefits of solid banking services, without the costs associated with some of the bigger banks.
Finally, if your issue is one of credit rating or ChexSystems, you will need to take steps to improve your situation. Consider finding a bank that doesn't use ChexSystems. You can call and ask, or you can look online to find lists of banks that don't use ChexSystems. Then it won't matter if you have a black mark. If your credit score is the issue, look for a bank that doesn't check your credit to open an account. Or, you can work to improve your credit score.
In the end, it's probably possible to qualify for a bank account, and it's probably a good idea. There are plenty of local banks and credit unions with good practices who are willing to take your business.

"I Made a Horrible Mistake"
An 'Embarrassed' Tatum O'neal Opens Up About Her Drug Arrest, Her Fight to Stay Sober and How Her Kids Keep Her Going
And yet her arrest—which quickly became a punch line on gossip blogs and late-night talk shows—was but the latest heartbreaking setback for the outspoken actress, 44, who chronicled her deeply turbulent life and decades-long battle with drugs and alcohol in her 2004 memoir A Paper Life. "For years I haven't done drugs," says O'Neal. She admits that she did have a drink of alcohol last summer but says she has been attending 12-step meetings regularly. "I'm sober," she says. "I have been almost a year off of alcohol." But looking back on the night of June 1, "I was trying to relapse," she says matter-of-factly. "I made a giant, horrible mistake that I regret and feel really ashamed and embarrassed about. I take full responsibility."
The actress says several factors brought her to the brink, including the recent death of her beloved Scottish terrier Lena. "I had to put her to sleep, and I didn't realize how bad that would affect me," she says. She was also stressed by tensions with her boyfriend of a couple of years, New York City architect Ron Castellano. "I had been feeling depressed," she says. "I somehow lost touch with the people who love me: my boyfriend, my sponsor. I'm an alcoholic and an addict. I was mad or upset.... I wanted to just not feel what I was feeling at that particular moment."
And so she went looking for a hit on the street near her Lower East Side home in Manhattan. "I just decided to walk a block and ask a guy if he could help me buy cocaine," she says. "A police officer was there and he arrested me. That's what happened." Why do something so reckless and in public no less? "'Cause I'm so sober!" she says. "I swear to God, I do not know one person who uses drugs anymore. And if I do, they'd never tell me where to get them, and that's the truth."
After she was booked on drug charges, O'Neal spent 18 hours in a Manhattan police station. "I was in a jail with four other women," she says, "with a toilet that didn't work and no door and no toilet paper." Ultimately, the district attorney's office recommended O'Neal attend a drug awareness program; she is due back in court on July 28. Was she scared by her time behind bars? "I really wasn't. For me, I can go through anything. I'm tough," she says. "I was really more upset at myself that again my children were going to have to go through something publicly."
In fact, it is her three children with her ex-husband John McEnroe—Emily, 17, Kevin, 22, and Sean, 20—who have long been her greatest source of joy. "Her kids are really good kids," says Denis Leary, O'Neal's costar on the FX drama Rescue Me. (Leary and the network say they stand behind the actress, who will appear on the series' upcoming season.) "They obviously love their mom. To have teenagers that obviously like being around their mom and are affectionate and all that stuff, that's an extraordinary thing."
Still, O'Neal is the first to admit that her addictions have cost her dearly when it comes to her children: In 1995 she lost custody of them due to her drug use, only winning back joint custody after numerous trips to rehab. Emily had once found a syringe, a moment O'Neal called "easily the worst thing ever in my life." But in the years since, she says her kids have grown to understand her problems. "My kids understand that it's a disease. I'm not a bad person; I'm a sick person trying to get well," she says. "I'm a nightmare to myself." She notes that the "surreal and horrendous" publicity over her arrest has been painful for her children. "People have been posting really mean things on their Facebooks," she says.
As well-known for her intensely troubled relationship with her father, actor Ryan O'Neal, 67, as she is for winning an Oscar at age 10 for Paper Moon, O'Neal says her difficult childhood continues to haunt her. "I had some things happen when I was young, and it creeps up," says the actress. (Her mom, actress Joanna Moore, died in 1997.) But, she realizes, "this is not an excuse." Though they briefly reunited following Ryan's cancer diagnosis in 2001, the father-daughter pair "haven't spoken in years and years," she says.
Yet O'Neal says she is friendly with Farrah Fawcett, her father's longtime on-and-off girlfriend. And she has finally managed to build an amicable relationship with McEnroe despite their bitter 1994 divorce; they recently attended the college graduation of their son Kevin, along with McEnroe's wife, rocker Patty Smyth. "This is the best we've all ever been," says O'Neal. "We've really come a long way."
Now she is hoping the same is true for her own life. "Before I did this, I had been doing better than I've done in years," she says. "I made a very bad decision, and I'm paying the consequences. I'm going to go back and live my life the way I live my life, which is drug- and alcohol-free. It's just better that way."

A personal interview is the reward for a successfully presented cover letter and resume. Recruiters and hiring managers generally don't interview every person who applies for a job. Therefore, the fact that you've been selected to meet face-to-face with a prospective employer is proof that you appear to have the qualifications a hiring manager wants in her next employee. Preparing for your interview is the best way to ensure you'll make a good impression.
Company Research
Learning about the company you want to work for must be part of your preparation because you need to know the philosophy and culture of the company you're interested in joining. Remember, the interview process is as much about the company determining if you're the right candidate as it is you deciding whether this is a company with which you want to be associated. Read newspaper articles, trade journals, online postings and the company's website to become familiar with the company's reputation, mission, products and services.
Interview Questions
Search for typical interview questions. There are many online forums and print resources that help job seekers prepare for interviews with specific companies in addition to just general interview preparation. Create a list of practice questions based what you've learned about the organization and the kinds of questions typically asked for your occupation. For example, if you're a registered nurse, look for standard questions related to clinical expertise, medical specialties, medical records privacy, direct patient care do's and don't's and health-care facility policies and procedures.
Practice Responses
Write your answers to interview questions and read through your responses several times before you begin rehearsing them. Practice your interview questions and responses in front of a mirror until you're confident you can respond to any variation of questions in a manner that's articulate and fluid. You don't want it to appear that you're giving the interviewer rehearsed responses. Ask a friend or trusted colleague to practice mock interviews with you. Even better, if you have a friend who's in HR or recruiting, ask her to conduct a mock interview with you and give you candid feedback about your interview performance.
Interview Attire
Select an interview ensemble. Whether you choose a business suit or separates may depend on the position you're interviewing for and the organization's culture. If you're in doubt or if you're inexperienced with interviewing, ask the recruiter about the company's dress code and if wearing a suit is mandatory. Recruiters often are happy to provide advice about appropriate attire, particularly to recent graduates or new entrants to the workforce. Asking questions about what's appropriate shows you're concerned about making a good impression. Otherwise, if you're an experienced job seeker, choose a comfortable outfit that gives you confidence. "Comfortable" means it fits properly and you feel good wearing it. The better you feel in your interview attire, the more confident you'll appear during the interview. Don't wait until the day of your interview to try on your interview outfit to avoid any last-minute wardrobe disasters.
Final Steps
Your final preparation steps for the interview might include doing a drive-by at the office a couple of days before so that you know exactly where you're going on the day of your interview. You don't want to risk getting lost or being late for your interview appointment. Get a good night's sleep the night before your interview. If you're well-rested, you might have less anxiety and you probably are less likely to be nervous.

Our philosophy and strategy of training
The structure of the training programme at "The Berne" is distinctly different from that at the typical university or college, and different also from the training structures of most other psychotherapy training institutes. On this page you will find an explanation of what we do, and why we do it, in our training programmes.
Rationale for our approach to training in psychotherapy
We see psychotherapy as entailing the creation of a structured setting in which one person - the client - pursues outcomes in the areas of personal change, growth or insight, with the help and facilitation of another person, the therapist. The central objective of psychotherapy training, therefore, is to facilitate the trainee therapist to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and experience that will allow her/him to invite personal change in others ethically, competently and elegantly.
For the psychotherapist, the moment-by-moment practice of psychotherapy is a multi-faceted skill. It entails reference to philosophy, theory and practice; the use of both scientific knowledge and intuitive knowledge; the ability to experience in the moment of the therapeutic encounter and at the same time to observe this experience. The effective therapist will be curative through his/her relationship with the client, and at the same time will be fluent in the use of directed therapeutic techniques and treatment planning.
Training in psychotherapy therefore has the same multi-faceted nature. It will consider the factors that make a relationship therapeutic; how to use one's self and self-reflection in service of this relationship; and the learning and practising of the specific skills involved in inviting personal change. It will involve the education of the trainee therapist in self-awareness and self-reflection as well as training in a specific philosophical and theoretical approach.
The core approach in psychotherapy training at The Berne Institute is transactional analysis (TA). Our MSc and Diploma trainings in the practice of psychotherapy will therefore include:
Our assessment and accreditation procedures are based on criteria for competence to practise. Equal weight is given to:
(a) the capacity to deal fluently with theory, philosophy and ethical/professional principles;
(b) the learning and demonstration, both in training and supervision, of the skills which are derived from the relevant philosophical and theoretical base; and
(c) the capacity to use the experience of personal psychotherapy and the training process in order to understand the dynamics of a psychotherapeutic relationship.
Educational philosophy of The Berne Institute
The aim of The Berne Institute is to promote excellence in the fields of psychotherapy, counselling, training, supervision, and related research. Our core model is transactional analysis (TA); neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and other humanistic approaches also contribute to our work.
The Institute's primary activity is in the education of individuals who wish to qualify as psychotherapists or counsellors. The educative process of practitioners is seen as life-long and crucial to both individual and professional development. Our training programme aims to develop clinically competent practitioners who will continually strive to maintain excellence in practice.
Just as it is the right of the client/patient to be treated as a person of worth, by a professional and ethical psychotherapist or counsellor, so too does the student have the right to such respect. Trainees are offered by all members of staff the opportunity of experiencing just such a respectful relationship, as an essential element of the educative process.
The Berne Institute also aims to be sensitive to the needs of students, and promotes a policy of non-discrimination in relation to race, religion, sexuality and disability (see our Statement of Equal Opportunities).
At The Berne Institute we recognise that people come into TA psychotherapy training with widely differing experience of clinical practice, theoretical knowledge and formal academic learning, and that they differ widely also in their current personal resources and skills. The course therefore honours the uniqueness of each individual's learning and experience and their different learning styles, pace and areas of competence.
Strategy for teaching and learning
In the service of this educational philosophy, we have developed a strategy for teaching and learning that is founded on four distinctive and interlinked principles. They are:
The TA training courses now delivered at The Berne Institute have their origins in a training programme that has run successfully since 1984. During the entire history of this training, the above four principles have been the basis for a training structure that is well-proven in terms of both acceptance by students and success in professional examinations. In the following paragraphs, each of the four principles will be described.
Organic learning model: As the basis for our teaching strategy, we employ an organic model of personal learning (cf. Stoltenberg and Delworth 1987; Loevinger 1977). That is: each trainee is encouraged to develop his/her own knowledge and skills at whatever rate, in whatever content areas, and in whatever individual ways are most effective for him/her. By the use of this organic learning model, each trainee is invited to make her/his own unique integration and contribution with maximum flexibility.
Each trainee is expected to take major responsibility for his/her own learning. As an important element of this responsibility, the trainee is expected to seek out and regularly attend training and supervision with other accredited TA trainers operating outside "The Berne", as well as from training and supervision sources outside TA where this is appropriate to the trainee's needs.
Multi-level group structure: Our psychotherapy training groups, throughout the four years of taught modules of the MSc course, are multi-level in structure. That is: each group includes students at various different levels of experience. The multi-level group will thus include some students who are in (chronologically) their first year of the psychotherapy training, together with other students who are (chronologically) in their second, third and fourth years. (The fifth year - the Dissertation Year - is taught in a separate group, as is the pre-requisite Foundation Year).
We favour the multi-level group structure because, in our experience, it is an excellent way of facilitating students to proceed through the training at their own pace and in their own style, meeting their individual learning needs in the way best suited to them - in other words, of implementing the organic model of personal learning. The multi-level group allows the newer students to learn from the modelling of the more advanced; in turn, the more advanced students have the opportunity to be aware of their own progress as they move upwards in experience, while they can aid their own learning by mentoring the newer students.
"Rolling entry" admissions system: The system of entry to the psychotherapy training course is a corollary of this multi-level group structure. At the beginning of each academic year, the cohort of new students incoming from the previous year's Foundation Year are divided up between three multi-level psychotherapy training groups. In each group, these new students will thus form the chronological "Year 1" members of the multi-level group. We term this a rolling entry system.
Four-year topic rotation: It will be clear that, in a course using a multi-level group structure, it would not make sense to set out the subject-matter in the traditional chronological sequence, where the "simpler" topics come in the earlier years and the "more complex" topics follow in later years. Indeed, it is our view that in the context of psychotherapy training, all the relevant topics in a training programme can be studied at progressive levels of academic complexity and practical application.
Therefore, the topics covered on The Berne Institute's course are arranged in a flexible four-year rotation. The four years in the rotation are labelled Years A, B, C and D. This alphabetical labelling serves to distinguish the four years in the topic rotation (Years A, B, C, D) from the chronological years which each student completes on the course (Years 1, 2, 3, 4).
For example: in this academic year, 2015-2016, we are teaching Year A in the topic rotation. This subject-matter is being taught to all students in the psychotherapy training groups; each training group includes students in (chronological) Years 1, 2, 3 and 4.
We cover a comprehensive set of topics designed to provide trainees with a sound and sufficient basis for their psychotherapy qualification. A sub-set of topics, particularly central to TA theory and application, is covered more than once in each cycle, either with a different emphasis or format, or integrated into other topics. This gives extra opportunity for revision and reinforcement.
We prefer to speak of a "set of topics" rather than a "syllabus". This is in recognition of the scope and complexity of psychotherapeutic study, which means that no training programme could ever remotely claim to cover "all there is to know" about the field. It is also congruent with the stance of our professional association (EATA), who state in their Training and Examination Handbook that:
"There is no standardised curriculum for TA training. Trainers are free to organise the contents, form, style and order of training within the framework of the guidelines set out in this Handbook and with special regard to the core competencies ... of the relevant field of specialisation." (EATA 2008)

For the second time in less than a year a child has been injured by a dog in the home of Quintin and Chantel McGrew.
On Jan. 3 the Dorchester County Department of Social Services faxed a notification of suspected criminal violation to the sheriffs office alleging that a child at the McGrew residence suffered a significant injury to his face due to a dog bite.
The child appeared to have a puncture wound on his right cheek and the left side of his nose, according to the report. The report does not detail the circumstances of the incident beyond the fact that a dog bit the child.
In April the McGrews two-and-a-half-month-old baby Aiden died after being attacked by a dog at the couples then Dorchester County residence while Quintin McGrew and one of his children were asleep in a nearby bedroom. Quintin McGrew was charged with unlawful child neglect and released on a bond.
The dog was euthanized.
Since then the couple has moved to a residence off Jennifer Drive near College Park Road in Berkeley County, from where the Jan. 3 information was reported.
The report of the Jan. 3 incident was filed as information until further evidence is collected or provided to substantiate a criminal offense, according to the report.
The BCSO is investigating, according to BCSO spokesperson Dan Moon.
As of press time no charges have been filed for occurrences on Jennifer Drive.
Attorney Andy Savage, representing Quintin McGrew for the April mauling case, did not return phone calls for comment before press time.
DSS took the children into protective custody twice in 2012 first after the April mauling death of their baby and again in August when one of their children told a counselor she saw a pornographic tape her parents made.
That allegation was ruled unfounded and the children returned to the McGrews custody.

Oklahoma City police arrested one man Sunday in the death of three horses and the lack of care of another horse.
Officers say they were called by neighbors to the 10400 block of Southeast 179th Street on Sunday in regards to some cattle that the residents found on their property. When police investigated the property where the cattle came from, they discovered three dead horses and a fourth horse that was severely malnourished.
Michael Gene Ross, 50, was arrested on four counts of lack of care. Police say a veterinarian examined the living horse and said it could be saved, but it would be permanently crippled due to poor living conditions.
The vet also stated that the horse's only source of food was toxic weeds and that the animal's gums were yellow, indicating liver failure, according to the police report.
