"And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that have never been"
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
As we escort the past year to its denouement and greet the new with enthusiasm, it's hard not to reminisce about the many changes that have occurred over the last twelve months in the world of glassybaby. We have new offices, new ovens, a new president, many new plans for growth in NYC...and by year's end glassybaby will have donated well over $700,000 to charities dedicated to health, healing and quality of life. It's been quite a year! We count our many blessings, and can hardly wait to see what 2012 has in store.
Will you spend New Year's Eve at a wild rumpus of a party with fountains of champagne? Or will you enjoy a quiet evening at home near the fire sipping a spot of bubbly from a glassybaby drinker. This is the way I am imagining our evening will go:
I used 'hope', 'halo', and 'creme brulee' glassybaby, and 'alice' drinkers.
Cindy shared with me two touching stories from the Bellevue store.
A lovely lady had been coming into glassybaby about every other month while she had been undergoing chemo for breast cancer. Cindy had helped her choose colors while providing a sympathetic ear. Yesterday she arrived sporting a colossal smile... it was her last chemo! After hugs and tears she bought a 'happiness' glassybaby.
Another lady who had finished her chemo for lung cancer was out celebrating with her friends. She said that Lee's story of courage during her own battle with lung cancer had deeply touched and encouraged her. She arrived in the store with her gal-pals (one of whom had given her a 'hope' gb when she was first diagnosed) and proceeded to cheerfully show her head where her hair was starting to grow in. She bought 'bff' for her friend who had originally given her 'hope'... and for herself... she obtained a glorious 'miracle'.
Don't forget the glassybaby Seconds Sale is coming up on Saturday, January 28. The doors will open at 9:00am at our Madrona studio/hotshop, 3406 East Union Street, Seattle, 98122. Hope to see you there!
Happy New Year dear glassybaby friends!
Let your light shine!
Until next time,

One (1) Qwik Lug Compressor Terminal Repair Kit for spade terminal repair. Includes three (3) leads 10 Guage/4 ft length,UL 1015 Wire. Terminal repair made fast and easy even with partially burnt spade terminals. Tightens quickly from the front. No more busted knuckles. Insulated brass connectors. Made in the USA. New
Tightens quickly from the front with a Phillips head screwdriver. Has a durable brass interior shielded by nylon exterior to prevent shorting.
Most technicians have encountered the problem of a compressor with pitted or severely corroded spade terminals. The start-up current surge of repeated hot summer cycling eventually destroys the spade connector, sometimes leaving nothing but a corroded round post.
Mainstream has developed a patented product, QwikLug™, to solve this problem. QwikLug™ easily attaches to damaged or corroded spade connectors. We have considered the difficulty in these field installations - the lack of space around these spade terminals - and have developed a solution. Simply push the QwikLug™ connector on and tighten it from the front with a Phillips screwdriver. QwikLug™ comes with color coded leads for connecting to existing wiring. The outer connector housing is a nylon insulator so the connectors can touch without shorting.

Arrest Spells the Death of the Dreier Model, Say Experts
Marc Dreier wrote a story last year touting his model of a law firm in which only one person had an equity stake. But in the wake of his arrest for trying to swindle some $150 million from three investment groups, experts say the Dreier model is likely dead. The reason is simple: When one equity partner falls, the whole firm goes down with him. Dreier's sole ownership raises another question: Are the firm's other lawyers shielded from suits that angry clients are apt to bring if the firm owes them money?

Skip to comments.Buddy, can you spare a dollar? [US currency crisis]
Posted on 12/10/2004 8:21:02 AM PST by UlsterDavy
American tourists arriving in Europe will find they are paying five times more for a coffee or a hotel room than they would at home. But in the US, the currency crisis is passing almost unnoticed. Rupert Cornwell reports 10 December 2004
It may not be easy in this Bush-hating era, but a little sympathy nonetheless is surely in order for American visitors to Europe. This Christmas British shoppers by the tens of thousands are flocking to New York as naturally as they once stormed Oxford Street, saving a small fortune in the process. Not so Americans who this holiday season find themselves in London, Paris or Berlin.
Once upon a time, their currency was king. Now a trip across the Atlantic is like a visit to the financial dentist, in which small fortunes are extracted from their pockets without even the benefit of an anaesthetic. The reason of course is the accelerating decline of the dollar, now about to breach the $2 to the pound barrier for the first time in a dozen years.
But their discomfort hides a paradox. This December, the American visitor to Europe finds himself paying $4 for a cup of coffee or metro fare that would cost $1 at home. His familiar $40 meal will cost $100, and the hotel room that runs at $60 in the typical Midwestern city of Edwardsville, Illinois, say, costs five times as much in London or Manchester. If only he had stayed at home.
The United States itself remains a land of eminently affordable plenty. Go into a dollar store, as I did the other day in Edwardsville, and you will be amazed at what can still be purchased for a humble $1 bill.
Thus this modern crisis is barely noticed back home. Despite the trauma of 9/11, the US remains in many respects oblivious to the world beyond its borders. Only 20 per cent of the population have passports. There is of course nothing intrinsically wrong with that. America is a continent in itself - and what distinction attaches to a British passport, when its sole function is to get the bearer to booze and sex binges in Prague or Majorca? Far more than European countries, the US is economically self-sufficient.
True, Americans grumble over rising petrol prices (all of 30p a litre right now). But most of what they consume comes from home. Foreign trade accounts for only a quarter of gross domestic product, compared with up to half in the case of France or Germany. Many big American regional papers do not bother to quote exchange rates; across swaths of the US, foreign currencies (and foreign countries) might as well not exist.
And ditto for dollar crises. In the early 1970s, the currency was devalued twice. The world might have trembled. But for the average American the upheaval had no more impact than a worthy piece in Foreign Affairs magazine.
Today, a political drama to match Labour's agony in 1976 over the IMF loan, or John Major's humiliation when Britain crashed out of the European exchange rate mechanism in 1992, is inconceivable in the US.
To history-scarred Britons of a certain age, nonetheless, today's events have a familiar ring. I would be the first to admit that the pound has had its moments: as a university student in the mid-1960s studying modern Greek, for instance, I would write to my mother from Greece asking her to send me a £5 note, from the drachma proceeds of which I could easily live for a week.
But for most of my life, at least until the late 1980s, the pound seemed in almost permanent free-fall. Before the First World War, when Britain was indisputable top nation, it bought about $5. Sterling was devalued to $4.03 when we left the gold standard in 1931. In 1949, it was devalued to $2.80, and then again in 1967 to $2.41. At one point in 1985 the pound withered to virtual parity with the dollar.
The passing of the baton of world power from the Old World to the New was mirrored in the currency markets. "If the English pound is not to be the standard which everyone knows and can trust," Winston Churchill mused in 1925, "the business not only of the British Empire but of Europe as well might have to be transacted in dollars". For Depression-battered and imperially over-stretched Britain, the Second World War was the last straw. When the US and Britain negotiated the IMF, the Bretton Woods agreement and other financial arrangements for the post-war world, our clever diplomats whiled away dull moments by composing condescending doggerel:
"In Washington Lord Halifax [the British Ambassador] once whispered to J M Keynes, 'It's true they have all the money bags, but we have all the brains.'" The reality however was that by 1945, Britain had been reduced to beggar at America's abundant table. The pound - before 1914 our proudest global brand, when a letter of credit issued by a London bank was as good as gold - was so diminished that acquiring foreign currency for an overseas trip was a bureaucratic nightmare.
The greatest financial brand on earth was now the dollar, a more potent ambassador for America than even Coca-Cola, Disney, or McDonald's. The greenback was prized the world over, as means of exchange, store of value and symbol of the freedom, wealth and promise of the US. Even physically, it never seemed to change.
Several efforts have been made to get rid of the $1 bill, but every one has failed - despite studies showing many millions of dollars would be saved by a switch to more durable dollar coins, and irrespective of the fact that in Europe and Britain, the lowest denomination bank notes are now worth almost $7 and $10 respectively.
Innovations like the $2 bill and, more recently, the copper/zinc dollar coin introduced in 2000, have flopped.
Scorn and amazement were etched on the face of the man in front of us at St Louis airport in the heartland last month when he received one of the latter in change at a vending machine selling Metrorail tickets into town. "What the hell is this?" he asked, peering at the offending object in his palm as if it were a hand grenade.
Until some mid-1990s tweaks with design to deter counterfeiters, dollar bills had looked exactly the same for some 70 years. The marked $10 bill that cracked the Lindbergh baby kidnapping case and sent Bruno Hauptmann to the electric chair in 1936 would have been as familiar in 1996. Fickle francs, perfidious pounds and lightweight lire might change their shape and colour every few years. Not so the trusty dollar bill, black and white on the front, dull green on the back, a visibly unchanging store of value cherished by a deeply conservative country.
But for how much longer? Just possibly, the dollar as global brand is now going the same way as our pound half a century earlier. The parallels should not be exaggerated, for the relative clout of the US is far greater than that of Britain, even in its imperial heyday. But the implications for America's global dominance are ominous nonetheless.
In weighty turn-of-the-millennium pieces in 1999 and 2000, commentators to a man saw US dominance, underpinned by its swelling population, its vast resources and its unparalleled military might, stretching as far as the eye could see. But throughout history great powers - be they ancient Rome, Spain, Britain or the Soviet Union - have been brought down not on the battlefield, but by economic weakness. And now perhaps, the US.
Right now the world's greatest power is the world's greatest debtor. If and when American power crumbles, the reasons will be found within. As threats to the American way of life, Osama bin Laden, Iranian ayatollahs and North Korean crackpots with their nuclear bombs are nothing compared to the stockpiles of dollar-denominated assets held by the central banks of China and Japan.
The US is like a shopper on a credit card binge, living beyond his or her means. In this case the cards are issued by the foreign central banks, mostly in Asia, who use the dollars generated by their huge bilateral trade surpluses to buy US government securities. In effect, they are lending the money to keep the binge going. But what if the lenders tire of the depreciating dollar, and switch into more rewarding currencies? The stakes are enormously high. To finance its deficits, the US needs to attract around $2bn a day of investment from abroad. The federal budget deficit exceeds $400bn annually, while the current account is in the red to the tune of $650bn (almost 6 per cent of America's $11 trillion GDP). Just last week, Congress quietly raised the national debt ceiling from $7.4 trillion to $8.2 trillion, to accommodate the budget deficit.
Few economists doubt that the dollar has further to fall. If we are lucky, the decline will continue on its present steady, relatively undisruptive course (though that will be of scant comfort to American visitors to Oxford Street). Financial market adjustments, however, tend to overshoot. And if matters should get out of hand, US interest rates would have to rise sharply to protect the dollar. Both Wall Street and house prices would tumble, and the result would be a recession, probably a deep one.
Now America is in a special position. Not only does it account for a quarter of the entire world economy. For all its problems, the dollar remains the unchallenged reserve currency, meaning that the US can simply print its own currency to pay international debts.
For years too, the US consumer has been the world's buyer of last resort, whose profligacy has kept the factories humming in Asia, and to a lesser extent Europe. Their trade surpluses will be no protection if the dollar goes through the floor. A sharp recession in the US would damage everyone - West End store-owners, European car-makers and Chinese textile mills alike. But these momentous matters are barely examined on television newscasts and talk shows. When they are, the tone is usually accusatory, against foreigners who bite the hand that feeds them. The deficits, it is argued, are a sign of American strength, a favour by a generous power that permits the rest of the world to buy a little slice of economic heaven. Occasionally, with greater justification, blame is laid at the door of China and the other countries which keep their currencies artificially cheap.
President Bush meanwhile recites his usual mantra about seeking "a strong dollar", while pursuing policies that achieve the opposite. Nor is the US deterred from lecturing other countries about fiscal irresponsibility. Hypocrisy is not a sentiment that occurs to its policymakers.
In reality, Mr Bush is determined to go on cutting taxes. He also wants to part-privatise social security, allowing Americans to invest part of their contributions in special investment accounts - a change that could add trillions to the budget deficit, just as the great wave of baby-boomer retirement is about to break over the system. Barring serious spending cuts or tax increases, the public finances of the US will be a mess for decades.
Maybe the worst won't happen. Maybe Mr Bush will finally choose between guns and butter, maybe Americans will discover the virtues of saving. Maybe China will revalue its currency, maybe Europe's sclerotic economies will reform their over-padded welfare systems. Maybe pigs will fly. Only one thing is sure. To borrow the immortal line of the late Herbert Stein, chairman of President Nixon's council of economic advisers, the last time the dollar was officially devalued: "If something cannot go on forever, it won't."
Hmmm, what will happen with EU exports? I guess AirBus's will cost about 30% more now? A bottle of French whine?
This isn't entirely a bad thing.
In the future, if Europe wants to do business with the U.S. it will have to stop the rampant INFLATION in their country.
Or they just might go broke.
And the problem with the cheap dollar affects who?
Of course its not completely a 'bad' thing. Too much of ANY thing is a bad thing.
Greenspan is loving the 'slow growth', keeping rates low. Dollar is pretty darn low right now, so its expensive overseas, but sales (exports) are 'cheaper' for them so they rises and more profit is made, thus more jobs and confidence and rising dollar.
Then it all reverses itself.
I always laugh at the economic alarmists who look at a 'snapshot' of a few weeks, or a month... hell some cycles are years long.
In the end... sound fundamentals, a highly dynamic market, educated/skilled labor pool, and republican leadership... we'll have our ups and downs but in the end we'll be at least 'slightly' better.
Oh sure, pitty the poor American tourist.
These worldly American tourists certainly don't mind supporting socialism in Europe, do they?
I mean ... I mean ... they don't mind supporting it here at home.
Hey mister ... could you spare me the
change er ... uh ... dollars for a cup of Starbucks coffee?
because i love to say the same thing 50,000 times in the 50,000 threads about this subject:
without a lower standard of living in the US the cheaper dollar doesnt change a thing.
Wishful thinking from a flaccid European.
The lower dollar means everything we buy from abroad, like crude oil, gasoline, steel, etc., are all CHEAPER.
That lowers our costs.
Who wants a lower standard of living??? The kids would have to give up their cell phones and TV's. ;)
something i already wrote somewhere else:
Lets say the dollar keeps falling. what happens? there are a few possibilities:
a) you don't have (enough of) the stuff you import, example oil and probably other raw-materials. the price for those goods will rise and there isnt much you can do about it. US-companies that use those raw-materials to produce their goods will also have to rise their prices. Inflation.
b) you could produce a certain good on your own, but stoped it, because the costs were too high. On the short term, prices for those goods will also rise, because you can't restart production from one day to the other. After a while production in the us would start again, but the costs for it would be still higher than before the fall of the dollar (or there would have been no sense in outsorcing to another country in the first place). also 'some' inflation.
so far we got higher prices. The wages within the US can't rise, because that would destroy the competitive advantage you get out of the fallen dollar. (It doesn't make any difference to me as a european if an american product costs 100 because its production costs 100$ and the exchange rate is 1:1 or if it costs 100 because its production costs 130$ and the exchangerate is 1:1.3; works within the US the same way)
so we got higher prices and constant wages, that means a lower standard of living for the people in the US. how much good it will do you for the exports to other countries, i dont know, but i expect the rest of the world to fall into a recession if the us-market is gone. if i loose my job, i wont buy much, no matter how cheap american products are.
When everyone talks about a falling dollar, that probably means the trend is about over.
The dollar's fall has been reversed the past few days, and gold and silver have had a sharp correction. I suspect that China, Japan, and the Euros have gotten together and decided to buy dollars, for the short term at least, and maybe to singe some of the American banks that have been enriching themselves in the "carry trade."
I expect the dollar's fall will probably resume, but in the intermediate term it appears to have stabilized.
You what? The lower dollar means everything you get from abroad is more EXPENSIVE!!!!!
This increases your costs! Now go back to economics 101 and concentrate harder ;)!
As everyone keeps pointing out though, the flip side of that is that your goods are cheaper for foreigners which is good for your manufactures whose exports become more competative. (unless they rely on foreign components in which case it is all a double edged sword!)
So do I. I eat them up and giggle as I do so.
Familiar but quite different, not just a $10 bill but a $10 Gold Certificate. Passing these in depression era America was not the way to go unnoticed.
Bad analogy
Rupert Cornwell should stick what he does best, writing articles pushing for gay agenda. Of course even when it is pushing the Gay agenda, it writes hate articles about GW, Republicans and Christian Americans.
Cornwell = another GIM.*
*See my tagline below about GIMS.
It's amazing what you ferret out, Grampa Dave! And they're only 2% of the population, and they aren't all journalists. Or maybe they are?
Before a decade or so ago, they were in the closet. Now many of them are out of the closet. Others have token wives for cover like a former NJ governor.
When the search is done in Yahoo re the writer and Gay, and we get a long history of pushing the Gay agenda. We have identified another GIM*.
Cornwall hates GW and anyone who is a Christian. A review of his articles show that.
Good grab, Grampa!!! (while they play grabass with each other and the truth!)
These spinning lying hate filled GIMs are incapable of writing or speaking the truth.
you can't say anything against the article itself, so you attack the person who wrote it?
No problem.
The GIMS in America and around the world have started the Cold Civil War II. They deserve to be outed for what they are.
Think back to late 1984 when the dollar was intentionally devalued against the mark, with adequate notice that a clever trader could have made a killing.

So in Euros Europeans are currently paying:
$3.00 for a cup of coffee
$3.00 for metro fare
$75 for the meal (the one that is $40 in the states)
And 3.5 times as much for the European hotel.
WOW your price level is wacky, if the author is to be believed.
>"The US is so darned big...and we have so many beautiful National and State parks....we do not NEED a reason to leave the good ole US of A."<
We have parking lots bigger than some countries in Europe.
It takes us longer to find our cars than it does to tour Europe
Bush's spending spree is going to cause the dollar to lose value here too eventually. I suppose Bush is hoping it won't kick in until he is out of office and then everyone will blame it on his successor. Or maybe he just doesn't care?
One thing is for sure, inflation and interest rates are headed up. Lock in your mortgage rates now.
what's the inflation rate in the EU?
I understand the uneployment rate is around 8.8%, correct?
You are correct.
I blame it on the lack of coffee this morning.
They do pay more for a lot of goods than we do.
Big whoop the dollar has lost about 20% against the Euro since its introduction 5 years ago. This while financeing a global war on terror with little world assistance. If a cup of coffe costs.00 in Berlin it's just because Starbucks is setting the price. 4* and 5* Hotel rooms in major western Eoropean cities have always been exorbitant. And just try to find a "dollar store" or any real discount store in western europe. The Governments there mandate profit margins, VAT taxes are hidden, and the government/unions even set a retailers opening hours. Europe may be terribly expensive for the American tourist, but it is for the European as well.
Unless we want to zip up into Canada or take a jaunt into Mexico. You don't need a passport to visit our neighbors, which is the only place I'd want to go...except for the Caribean. Even in Martinique, you don't need a passport.
"WOW your price level is wacky, if the author is to be believed."
Well, we have fondly reffered to our prices here as 'rip off Britain' for quite some time. Though it has been noticible in the last couple of years that the gap has narrowed - it is only now with the tumbling dollar that we really notice the difference again! For me the big difference is I used to look at the States and see wage parity, but that your prices were much cheaper meaning the US had a vastly, vastly better quality of life. Now though I look (I work for a multinational) and note that my US colleagues of the same grade earn far less than me when converted - so even with the cheaper prices the lifestyle difference narrows. Of course, I should probably be worried as if the market works my job will be outsourced! And of course, my tax burdern is much heavier. That said, the draw to spend a few more years in the States for financial reasons isn't quite what it was. However, in the meantime - let the party continue. New York Shops... here I come!
This is why the weak dollar doesn't bug me. Come and shop, it's great for the American economy.
Not oblivious, we just don't care.
But I agree with the author on one point: We need to save more money. Marketers and bankers try to make me ashamed about my lack of outstanding debt, but I like the way I do things. I have a peace of mind that comes from owning all I have - lock, stock, and barrel. If I can't afford it, I don't buy it.
I am a free man, not a serf indentured to some damned bank.
Thrift used to be considered a virtue. Now it is scoffed and shunned as provincial and non-productive.
But look where trillions of dollars of debt have gotten us - our currency and economy are beholden to the whims of foreign investors, instead of belonging to Americans as it should be.
2004: One dollar = less than 1/400 of an ounce of gold.
Stealth devaluation by Richard Nixon.
Could this be part of the reason?
>"if we could just have that damn wall back we could easily reduce it by 2-3 points. if we could have our money back, probably even more. and if we then could lock up every crazy commie in the east and shoot them if they try to leave we'd probably have full employment :("<
- HA! are you telling me...communism is back in fashion, in (formerly) East Germany?
You'd think they would have learned...
Excuse me? We only sent our most beloved halfway arounf the world to fight Islamofascism and we get a respose like this from the Euroweenie journalist as a reward.
No good deed goes unpunished.
No wonder the elitist news media is complaining about this, because they are getting the short in the stick on this one when they visit their elitist anti-America friends in Europe.
To tell you the truth, I wish I were in your position. I'd be nice. But until that time.....I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go....(Whistling)
The cheaper dollar is a shot in the arm for our agricultural exports, and that's a huge help to our economy. As to imported goods costing more, I haven't noticed that cutting into the sale of big plasma TVs this Christmas.
Save yourself the trip "over the pond"...you can be harassed by euro-trash right here in New England. What a bunch of arrogant, self-absorbed snobs.

Well Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8 last Thursday, 19th March 2009. To some this may be the end of the browser wars as IE8 does indeed come with vastly increased standards support. Microsoft, to its credit, took notice of developers who spoke up about the way the browser would by default serve up pages in its IE7 mode. To get it to render in the IE8 standards mode, the developer would have to 'opt-in'. Thankfully Microsoft did change this, so the default behaviour is IE8 standards mode.
As for whether this brings an end to the browser wars, it is too early to fully tell. IE6 still has around 18% browser market share, and seems to be dropping very slowly. So until IE6 has under 5% or so, developers will still have to cater for it when developing websites.
However, there have been a few large sites lately that have taken the decision to make their sites work in IE7 and above only (or at least some parts of their site). This may help speed up the decline of IE6, which can only be a good thing. Overall though, it may still take some time to be able to completely ignore IE6. It may just be up to individual site owners as they develop their site to decide whether IE6 users are worth their time, money or effort.
As this BBC news article suggests, with the current releases of the major manufacturers, you could say that the browser wars are indeed coming to an end. There is an increased air of co-operation between browser manufacturers. There may still be time for more to be said along these lines though, with Opera complaining to the EU about Microsoft and IE, and the EU looking into it. Maybe this has already forced Microsoft into allowing users in the next version of Windows to 'not have' IE8 installed. The rendering engine itself and files necessary to be used in the file manager and other programs will still be available; otherwise a lot of programs won't work. We shall see how everything pans out.
IE8 is a good step towards bringing the two rounds of browser wars to a close. There is now more choice than ever when it comes to what browser people use to access the internet, and each manufacturer is improving standards with each iteration of their browsers. This can only improve life on the web, both for developers and end users.
It is currently an interesting time in the world of browsers and the internet. All the current browser manufacturers gain from having the others in the market and they can all help each other and all 'netizens' by continually improving their products. The next 'big' thing in terms of browsers, may well be how much each manufacturer integrates HTML5. Some browsers already have some elements working in their browsers. Lets just hope that more of it is integrated into web browsers. It can only help keep the web moving forward. Watch this space!

Re: my sensei "video clip"
Ok, found a good version of the Imperial Demonstration:
From Aikido Journal:
The students accompanying Sensei for this event were his leading disciple, Mr. Tsutomu Yukawa (now deceased) and I. During this period Sensei was suffering from a heavy case of jaundice and had only drunk water for about ten days. He has grown so weak that he even had to support himself on our shoulders to put his kimono on or to walk. Mr. Yukawa and I looked at each other and worried about whether Sensei could really give a demonstration in that condition. Despite this, he somehow got into the car which came to fetch him and arrived at the Saineikan. We got out of the car and supported him when he walked. However, when we approached the entrance of the dojo where the Imperial family was visible, Sensei's eyes began to shine and he entered the dojo with a commanding air, totally transformed. After the extremely respectful formalities the demonstration began at last. Forty minutes were alloted for the demonstration. Yukawa was supposed to take falls for the first twenty minutes and I for the last twenty.
It looked like Yukawa was attacking Sensei half-heartedly in deference to his condition. But Ueshiba Sensei's ki power had reached the maximum. Yukawa was sent flying in a flash and he ended up crouching on the floor unable to move.
When I rushed to him and looked him over carefully I discovered his arm was broken.
Thus as it happened I had to take falls for the entire forty minutes in place of the injured Yukawa. I couldn't hold back. On the contrary, I attacked Sensei with all my might. The moment I was thrown and landed on the mat I got up immediately and went at Ueshiba Sensei. I was pinned flat but as soon as I was released I went to attack again and again was thrown by Sensei. In any event, his spirit was incredibly strong. Exerting myself to the utmost, I somehow managed to serve as Sensei's uke for forty minutes.
But later I came down with a high fever and had to stay in bed for about a week.
Now, what I'm currious about is if the people who object to Shioda Sensei's demonstrations, and Mori Sensei's demonstrations also object to Ueshiba Sensei's demonstrations. And if not, why not?? And if so, then why do we not hear those objections more often?

Lady Pios fare well in volleyball jamboree
LAFAYETTE – The Notre Dame Lady Pios started the 2011 prep volleyball season in dominant fashion Wednesday, claiming three victories in the annual jamboree at Teurlings.
The Lady Pios opened play with an impressive victory over St. Thomas More before cruising past Ascension Episcopal and Rayne in their final two matches.
Against St. Thomas More, kills by Alaina Savoy, Allison Leonards and Alex Miller sparked a run to an 8-3 lead. Notre Dame maintained that 5-point advantage as the teams traded points until Miller offered two hard to handle serves for a 19-12 lead.
Leonards spiked a winning kill from the left outside to cap a 25-20 Notre Dame win.
In the second match, Ascension Episcopal found openings in the Pios defense to stay close early.
The Pios led 8-6 when Mallorie Chaisson went down to dig a kill attempt off the floor and set Katherine Kirsch for a kill at the net. Kirsch followed with a block for a point and the Pios eased out to a 16-9 lead.
Savoy served two aces to close the match for a 25-12 ND victory.
The Lady Pios were in control from the start against Rayne.
Savoy blocked down a kill at the net, Miller dropped in a winner from the left outside and Savoy dipped in two more aces for a 7-2 Pios lead. Leonards served ND to a 13-6 lead and Megan Malme and Miller had back to back kills as Notre Dame built its lead to 22-9.
Savoy recorded another block kill to get the Pios a point from the win. Malme took a set on the left outside and lobbed a winner over a pair of blockers at the net to secure the 25-9 final.
The Lady Pios will open the regular season on Monday with a home match against Lafayette High. The jayvee squad will take the courth at 4 p.m. with the varsity game to follow.

St. Mary Medical Center and Community Healthcare System offer child abuse action & recognition symposium
"Recognizing and Acting on the Symptoms of Child Abuse" will be the topic of a day-long educational symposium sponsored by the St. Mary Medical Center Pastoral Care Department and Community Healthcare System. The program, featuring three professional speakers with unique topics, would be particularly useful for emergency room and pediatric medical professionals, and clergy who play a role in the lives of families and children.
The program will take place from 8:30 am. — 3 p.m., Sept. 9 at St. Mary Medical Center, 1500 S. Lake Park Ave., Hobart, in the new patient tower conference rooms 3 and 3A. It is free and open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required in advance by calling 219-947-6185. Lunch will be provided. For medical professionals, the program is worth 3.6 contact hours as continuing education through the Indiana State Nurses Association.
The three speakers bring a wealth of knowledge to the topic of child abuse. The discussion begins with Dr. Jeffrey R. Robertson, PhD, LCSW, who has been practicing psychotherapy since 1980, treating adults, adolescents and children in the individual and family setting. His expertise is in sexual/emotional abuse, trauma treatment and recovery, and couples counseling/mentoring. Robertson is a Lake/Porter County Guardian et litem for Children, and a certified domestic violence counselor & substance abuse professional.
The second speaker, Kelly Vates, is an adult survivor of child sexual abuse, who, after seeking treatment in 1994, has since been able to break her silence and help educate others on the healing process. She is the author of Shattered Innocence and has appeared on numerous public talk shows. Locally, Vates facilitates support groups and programming for adults and teens through New HOPE Women's Outreach in Highland, St. Jude House in Crown Point, and Seas of Life Ministries in Griffith.
Rita Luczak is a licensed social worker who has been with Community Healthcare System for 17 years, eight of those as a Maternal/Child Social Worker. Luczak has been a foster parent trainer for 11 years and maintains a close working relationship with DCS case managers. Her undergraduate degree is in Sociology/Social Work from Calumet College of St. Joseph. Her Master's degree is in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Sociology from Valparaiso University.

Tuesday's beautiful weather will give way to high winds and low humidity, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a fire weather watch for Wednesday.
Meteorologist Andrew Moulton said the watch will be in effect Wednesday afternoon and evening for the western two-thirds of the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles.
"If a fire did start, the southwest wind could spread it quickly and the lower humidity would make things burn faster," Moulton said. The panhandles could see sustained winds between 15 and 30 mph.
Wednesday temperatures could reach the mid to upper 80s.
"Fire is more affected by winds and relative humidity than temperature," Moulton said.
Fire watches can get fairly common this time of year, he said. Moulton said after 9 p.m. Wednesday, humidity should increase and the wind should start to calm down.

This weekends interview is defiantly a great one. Malcolm Watson is smooth on a skateboard and effortless with his tricks. I haven't personally met Malcolm yet but after receiving the finished interview it really shock the hell out of me. The love and drive that he has for skateboarding is truly a beautiful thing. The freedom and feeling that Malcolm gets from riding a skateboard adds up to why we all do it, Read and enjoy on what Malcolm has to say – S.M.
1. Who were your favorite skaters growing up?
I grew up in a very different generation and era in skateboarding. My favorites growing up were Hosoi of course, Eric Dressen, and The whole Powell peralta team from " The search for animal chin? on down to "Public Domain." Ray Barbee was dancing on his board in "ban this". The Alva team ripped, as well as Dogtown guys. The gonz, and lastly Natas. I also Can't leave out the H street team either. That era will never be duplicated again. It was skateboarding at it purest and rawest form.
2. What motivates you everyday before you go out skating?
My motivation today is that same hunger I had to just wanna go outside and breath in the city on my skateboard back in 1986. It's indescribable, just that feeling you get rolling around is freedom and excitment. My stress relief from everything going on in the world…
3. Where do you skate on the day to day basis?
My daily spots change with the weather. It's all a matter of what I feel like skating when I wake up. Some day's I'll just wanna cruise at a plaza so I'll hip up Lincoln Heights or North Hollywood. If i wanna skate manuel pad's I'll roll to USC blocks or a spot in Gardena. For ledges you can find me at staples, There's really no shortage of spots in LA on and off the radar. It's just a matter of how creative your feeling on that particular day.
4. When are we going to see new Malcolm Watson footage?
I'm constantly filming and working on stuff. Now a days the help of sites like youtube and vimeo along with my skate companies site www.100percentskateboards.com I drop a clip to a mini part once a month. Without the outlet of 411vm or a major project I can still maintain being seen. I wanna drop a mag minute soon though. I'm still working on a few tricks, You know the struggle. Some things worth having don't come easy, but soon enough I'll drop something unexpected like bird poop.
5. Why did you move to New York?
I started moving everything months across the US once my wife became a traveling nurse. We could pick where we wanted to live and all the expenses were paid for so we started moving around the east coast until winter time, then we would roll back to some place warm like california to get through the winter season. We were on the road for a good 3 years until the economy took a dump. Now cali is home but the place i miss the most of all my travles is New York and Vancouver because just of the good people, amazing energy in the streets and raw skateboarding.
6. How does skating make you feel?
Skateboarding is freedom! The business side and industry, political side of it sucks but skateboarding in it's natural form is self medicating. Once you get rid of all the shady fake people involved in it skateboarding is a beautiful thing,Let the good times roll.
"Skateboarding is freedom"

Chilly fall temperatures have folks bundling up earlier than usual this year.
With a plethora of outerwear choices - many at affordable prices - coats and jackets are a popular purchase.
"Coats have been huge," said Terry Rutar, associate sales manager at Dillard's. "The cool weather is bringing in lots of shoppers buying warm outerwear."
A generation ago, women owned only one or two coats. Today's female often has a wardrobe of jackets and coats to wear for different occasions.
"This season we're carrying more of the in-between length coat that covers the hips," said Jan Brosier at Top Notch Outfitters.
It's a great purchase for the woman who already owns a sporty parka and a long, dressy coat.
And retailers say the hottest trends for women and juniors is shearling.
Lamb shearling is one of the lightest, most supple natural hides.
Staying Warm: Renetta Bates, left, wears a lightweight-but-toasty parka with a fox collar by Bromely. Jennifer Quinan wears the ever-popular leather calfskin blazer by Murano. Both jackets from Dillard's.
Shoppers can pay a bundle for the real thing, or - thanks to microfiber and new manufacturing techniques - get the same look for much less.
"We have a lot of faux furs because the prices are so good," Brosier said. "Usually when women come in shopping for a coat they want something unique and special, but they don't want to spend a fortune."
Leather still is a standard, whether in ankle length or short blazer.
Shopping for a new coat this season?
Ranch Look: Roush wears a Fjall suede coat with a sheared faux fur lining and trim, from Top Notch Outfitters.
Charles Nolan, senior vice president of design for Anne Klein, offers these tips:
Closely examine the quality of the fabric. Look at how it's woven and feel with the hand. "Trust your instinct on the feel. It should feel like a blanket wrapping around you."
Check out the details. Are the buttons secure? Is there a roomy enough armhole to wear a bulky sweater underneath?
Flip up the collar. A good coat collar is protective and can be turned up to keep a draft off the neck.
"Black and brown continue to be popular colors," Rutar said.
"But in Amarillo, we also sell a lot of red."
Suede also continues to be a favorite, with machine-washable suede jackets offering a new option.
JCPenney has a wide selection of pea coats, said Kriss Lampe.
"Another hot items is the blue jean jacket with faux fur lining and collar and cuffs," she said.
"We're selling a lot of suede jackets in fun colors," she said. "But we also have the traditional long, black dressy coats."

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Alex White threw two innings in a live batting practice session on Wednesday and he's throwing on every fifth day as he builds back up from Tommy John surgery he underwent last April.
"I think right now we're just kind of going on how I feel, what some of the hitters kind of relay back to us and what we think," White said. "I think I could go in a game right now and get some people out but there's certainly no reason to rush that we can go to a back field and kind of control the environment."
White in early February said he was still waiting on his velocity. He's seen an improvement.
"It's getting there, they're really pushing me to test it and start pushing it a little bit and I think that's good," White said. "My off-speed stuff is really good right now. We just got to get where I can let it go and trust that it's OK and keep letting it go."
White said the plan is outing to outing, and he's expecting the next one to be another live batting practice session.
Worth noting:
Raul Valdes (left knee surgery) saw his first game action of spring on Thursday in the B game against the Mets. His health puts another lefty reliever in the mix for one or two presumed spots, along with Darin Downs and Kevin Chapman. … Japhet Amador singled in his first game action … Center fielder Dexter Fowler was not slated to play for a second straight day Thursday, after he was scratched from Wednesday's game because of neck stiffness. He said his neck was improved.

My Job
I am an aerospace engineer and an optical
engineer. I studied both aeronautics and optical physics, and I've spent
most of my career inventing new ways to use lasers and light to measure
aerodynamic properties like gas temperature and density. This is important
because new aircraft designs must be tested to make sure they'll work.
With lasers we can measure flows without disrupting them. Imagine trying
to measure the velocity of wind going by your car window. You could stick
a special probe called a pitot probe out the window to measure the pressure
and infer the velocity (the old way), or you could shine a laser beam
out the window and detect changes to the light to determine the velocity
(the new way). There are pros and cons to both ways.
My job has been to improve the capability of optical
measurement techniques to make them work better, last longer, and cost
less. Specifically:
1) I have worked to measure the flow inside internal
combustion engines (like in cars) to test designs for improving fuel economy.
2) I co-invented a way to use structured laser illumination
to measure the shape of solid surfaces for manufacturing processes.
3) I invented a liquid crystal/laser device to measure
fluid temperature, density, or concentration for microgravity science.
I currently manage a group of 13 researchers who are
all inventing new ways to measure using optics. One person is inventing
a way to measure the air velocity inside an aircraft engine compressor
operating at very high speeds, and another person is trying to measure
the surface pressure on ice shapes that grow on airplane wings. Others
are measuring the chemical properties of combustion gases inside jet engines,
developing electro-optic sensors for use on Mars, and inventing ways to
use optical fibers to measure the health of aerospace engines.
My job is to make sure that the researchers are working
on the right things to satisfy NASA's needs, doing a good job, and being
rewarded for their work. I must secure the resources that the researchers
need to do their jobs and provide career growth opportunities for them.
In order to understand all parties' needs and capabilities, I meet with
NASA program managers and managers in industry, as well as the researchers.
I complete the necessary paperwork to let my senior management know what's
going on and to give credit to the researchers. I serve on various review
boards, and I make presentations to groups of people to let them know
what we're up to.
My Career Journey
I must admit I never planned very far in
advance for my career. In high school my favorite subject was Math, and
I liked English and Current Events very much also. I thought I might become
a lawyer or mathematician, but was attracted to engineering by winning
scholarship money. I thought I'd just give it a try because I didn't really
understand what engineering was and figured I'd switch to something else
if it got boring. Well, it never got boring and here I am, still in engineering!
I got my job at NASA by first working as a summer
student intern. I got that summer slot by listing "optics" as
one of my interests. I'd read a book about holography in the library the
week before I filled out the application form, and thought holography
sounded like fun. NASA was looking for optical people then and there weren't
many people trained in optics (there still aren't), so I got very lucky.
I did a good job as a student worker and had good grades in school, so
I was hired as a permanent employee after graduating with my Bachelor
of Science degree. I worked for a year then went back to night school
for my Master's. I didn't really want to go back to school, but there
seemed to be so much to learn and there was a good program locally. That
turned out to be a really good idea, because it made it easier to get
my Doctoral degree. I went away to school for a year to study for the
Doctoral degree, then did my research back at NASA. Regardless of what
you may have heard, getting a Doctoral degree can be a lot of fun--at
least it was for me. I really liked the subject matter and I found a department
in a school that suited me very well. I had never really considered management.
But when my boss retired, he recommended me as his replacement. I figured
I'd try this too and, so far, so good!
Childhood Influences on my Career
As a child, I loved puzzles--mostly the
"logical deduction" puzzles where you have to figure out who-sat-next-to-whom
and what-they-wore given a series of facts. I also liked mechanical puzzles
and "quickie mysteries." I loved to read, primarily literature.
I liked to sew and to study foreign languages. I liked to ride my bike,
ski, skateboard, and play with my friends. I liked card games, including
solitaire. How does this relate to my current career? Don't try to link
everything too closely, but I guess independent, primarily intellectual
activity is a common thread. That's pretty much what I still do on a day-to-day
Personal Influences on my Career
My parents always heavily emphasized school.
That was my "job" and I was expected to do well. My Dad was
the one who recommended engineering instead of math. I'm sorry to say
that my professors were pretty passive, neither encouraging nor discouraging
me. I got good grades though, and good scholarships. The scholarships
were very influential in keeping me in engineering.
My advice is to study hard, to study subjects
that interest you, and to study subjects that other people are willing
to pay for. Don't study something that you think will make you a lot of
money in the future if at least the first two of these criterions aren't
met. The future is very unpredictable.
Personal Information
I've been married for 11 years and we have
a two-year-old daughter named Claire. She stays home with her Daddy three
days a week and stays with a friend two days a week. She's a beautiful
child and we spend most of our free time with her, playing with her and
taking her to parks and museums and shows and libraries and coffee shops
and bookstores. Until Claire was born, I was a crew member on a J-24 sailboat.
We raced twice a week on Lake Erie and did pretty well. I also like Tai
Chi and yoga very much, as well as hiking and bike riding. I read a lot.
I was on a Latin American novel kick for a while; "One Hundred Years
of Solitude" is one of my favorite books. The last book I read was
Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." I've never really liked science
fiction because the characters seem so shallow, but this one was really
good. When I was a kid I went to ski school every weekend through junior
and senior high school. But I don't live near the mountains anymore, so
I don't ski very much.

1. The latter is more likely. Your body has learned to run off "good" foods and no longer processes the bad ones. In a way, you lost your intolerance to those foods.
2. White would be least distressing, in most cases, but you should experiment to know for sure. Try not to go overboard, because you WILL experience side-effects either way.
3. Yeap. Severity/length varies from person to person and food to food. For me, a huge trip off the wagon will result in several days of feeling off, after an initial absolute crash (feeling flu-ish). A small one may only last a day, with gas and bloating.

David M. Moffitt, assistant professor of New Testament and Greek for Campbell Divinity, has had his doctoral dissertation published as part of the Novum Testamentum Supplements series.
The book, "Atonement and the Logic of Resurrection in the Epistle to the Hebrews," was published by Brill, a scholarly publishing company founded in 1863 and operating out of Leiden, The Netherlands, and Boston.
This study of Hebrews "demonstrates that Jesus' embodied, resurrected life is crucial for the high-priestly Christology and sacrificial soteriology developed in Hebrews," according to the book's description. Moffitt used contemporary studies of Jewish sacrifice, parallels in Jewish apocalyptic literature and his own exegetical insights to develop his conclusions.
Moffitt received his Ph.D. from Duke University in 2010.
