Time for a transfer
The problem is that we have 90,000 persons employed by the Internal Revenue Service at an annual cost of over $11 billion. These persons are responsible for following a 5,600-page tax code comprising over four million words.
It is well documented that if you call the IRS on four separate occasions and ask agents the same question, you are likely to receive four different answers. Furthermore, each agent will inform you that he or she is not responsible for the validity of the answer. In others words, there is zero accountability.
The solution is to adopt and implement the FairTax immediately.
But what of all those employees who are depending on the IRS for their livelihood?
I suggest that those who now have AR-15s to assist them in their audits and are qualified (at least they know which end of the rifle is "hot" and which is "not") should have the opportunity to transfer to the Department of Homeland Security and become border guards. The others should be given the opportunity "to build the fence."
No one should be forced to pursue either form of service to our country; that is, all should be given the opportunity to obtain gainful employment within the private sector.
Once taxation through confusion, intimidation and socioeconomic class warfare is removed and our borders are secure, then and only then can we begin to deal with the "immigration problem" in a fair and just manner.

Wider perspective
A recent letter about I-26 trees was refreshing and enlightening. Finally somebody gets it. The dead man's drive section of I-26 from I-95 to Summerville is long overdue for two extra lanes, and it appears money is in the latest transportation budget to do just that if politicians will wake up and see the light.
Charleston and Berkeley counties seem to enjoy their four-, five- and six-lane highways to move traffic. No problem getting $80 or $100 million for a Boeing highway and no argument over tree removal to build multi-lane access roads for them. I agree with that.
Now you tell me how long the S.C. Department of Transportation will deny Dorchester and Orangeburg counties the same opportunity to have safe access and decent interchanges onto and off I-26.
How long can it keep the Orangeburg population depressed and jobless for lack of good transportation access? Maybe it is time we heard from the honorable Rep. James Clyburn on this subject.
There is no reason to deny these folks equal commercial opportunity to attract industry and jobs.
It still amazes me why Boeing picked this area, which was rated as having the worst maintained highways and interstates in the nation. Apparently it was not familiar with Charlestonians' obsession with loblolly pine trees.

The true trigger
A July 1 story raised the question, "Will club shootings ever stop?"
Checking more closely business and liquor licenses, and enforcing more strictly city/county bar and club alcohol ordinances, are laudable efforts to address the all-too-frequent occurrence of late night club shootings.
However, isn't the actual problem the tolerance of deadly weapons in the atmosphere of a business that encourages alcohol consumption?
Perhaps easy-to-acquire handguns are the real criminals here.

Help Chicora
Once again the Charleston County School Board has fallen short. Why can't it get it right? Every year it seems there is a shortage of funds. This year it is for capital projects that are already planned.
The obvious choice should be to take it from the school that would generate the most savings, but more than likely it will come from the school that needs it most, Chicora Elementary.
These children deserve better. They have been dealing with flooding for years. I know this because I have seen it personally — and rodents, among other things.
You are telling these children that they don't matter because of the area they live in. They don't matter because of the color of their skin. They don't matter because of the school report card.
Let's give these children something they can be proud of. Give them the school that was promised to them. Those teachers, who work hard,and the students, who try their best, deserve their school.
Make the right choice, Charleston County School Board.
I do not live in the area, but I feel the pain and frustration of the parents who do.

Another bad deal
Take heed, American taxpayer, of your government's handoff of aid to the Egyptian people. Continuation of this aid will be scrutinized by Congress.
The sufficient prompt is the recent Egyptian military coup that military leaders do not consider a coup.
The pertinent question for Congress will not be about whether or not aid will continue. We all know it will, and we all know why. Aid equals influence and our government covets influence.
Congressional scrutiny should be about the pitfalls, risks, and value of buying influence in Egypt.
The American taxpayer knows a lot about influence buying. We bought tons of it in Iraq and Afghanistan and now take a sober account of what we have purchased.
Democracy building around the planet is foremost an experiment. Experiments want funding.
The American taxpayer and our elected representatives need to be heedful that experimental ventures can have a multitude of unwanted outcomes.

Fall Festival Generates "Ghoul-will" for the Alcuin School Community
It was a "bootiful" day for the Alcuin School Annual Fall Festival with more than 400 ghouls and goblins at this year's "spooktacular" event on Oct. 25. The Middle School students led this school-wide effort by preparing, managing and staffing the entire festival for the Alcuin community. In addition to Head of School Walter Sorensen's "World Famous Hot Dogs," highlights included bounce houses, donut-eating contests, arts and crafts, spin-to-win games, and of course, the not-so scary "zombie" that made the festival a real "thriller!"
An enriched, nurturing, coeducational academic community, Alcuin School uses the Montessori and International Baccalaureate program methods to foster critical thinking and a lifelong passion for learning. With faculty support, students from Toddler to 12th grade at Alcuin School are eager to embrace change, question the status quo, and prepare for their future as leaders in a global society.

Prosecutor: Indianapolis blast not accidental
INDIANAPOLIS -- A prosecutor said investigators have ruled out any accidental cause for the Indianapolis house explosion that killed two people, destroyed five homes and damaged dozens more.
Marion County Prosecutor Terry Curry told the Associated Press on Tuesday that city arson investigators and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had concluded the Nov. 10 blast wasn't an accident.
Officials announced Monday that their probe had shifted to a criminal investigation, but did not explicitly say accidental causes had been ruled out.
Curry said Tuesday that search warrants have been executed, but that additional search warrants issued by local judges have yet to be served.
He declined to discuss details of the criminal investigation or the search warrants, saying that releasing information at this point "would jeopardize the ongoing investigation."
Teacher in face-marking incident faces probe
DECLO, Idaho -- A southern Idaho teacher whose students used a permanent marker on the faces of classmates who fell short of reading goals is the subject of a formal complaint.
Cassia County School District officials said Monday that they filed the complaint against Declo Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Summer Larsen. The Idaho State Department of Education's Professional Standards Commission, which has the power to suspend or revoke teaching licenses, will examine the case, the Twin Falls Times-News reported.
Some parents and administrators said the face-marking punishments given to six students in Larsen's class were inappropriate and left the children feeling shamed.
One 10-year-old came home in tears after his entire face, including his eyelids, had been scribbled on with green, red and purple markers.
Driver in Texas parade crash is an Army veteran
MIDLAND, Texas -- A 50-year-old Army veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan was driving a parade float that investigators say edged across a railroad crossing in Texas despite warning signals of a fast approaching train, an attorney said Tuesday.
Four veterans were killed in the resulting collision in Midland on Thursday. Sixteen people were injured.
Dale Andrew Hayden was driving one of two flatbed trucks carrying wounded veterans and their loved ones in the procession to honor the war heroes, said Hal Brockett, Hayden's attorney.
"Words can't express the sorrow and remorse for the people who got hurt and killed," Brockett said in an interview Tuesday.
Investigators say the float began crossing the train tracks even though warning bells were sounding and the crossing lights were flashing.
A Union Pacific train traveling at more than 60 mph ran into the truck as the occupants scrambled to jump to safety.
Smithsonian explores food, wine in new gallery
WASHINGTON -- Julia Child's kitchen is returning to public view as the National Museum of American History opened its first major exhibit about food.
Child donated her kitchen to the museum in 2001. Now it served as the opening story for the gallery opening Tuesday, showing her influence on culinary arts, food television and the way Americans view cooking.
Curator Paula Johnson said the second half of the 20th century brought rapid changes in America's relationship with food.
One section of the exhibit explores the influence of immigrants from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America who introduced flavors that are now part of everyday life.
The museum also looks at the science of food production and the rise of winemaking. By 2000, wine was being produced in all 50 states.

The last of my gifts was a pair of teeny tiny bootees!
I think they are just gorgeous! (Not because I made them! The pattern!)
They are made from wool felt, just two pieces for each shoe: a sole and a wrap around section, all hand-sewn together with blanket stitch, and a little bit of elastic at the closure.
I'm not sure how practical they are really, but I think they are just as cute as can be!

To the editor:

I think they did quite well considering their environment.
I am very interested in the thyroid thing, but I think you are wrong in applying it as a universal response, there are plenty of people in Ketosis with perfectly normal metabolism & thyroid function, your N=1 doesn't make N= everyone.
From what I have read recently it seems to be that some individuals may have impaired Gluconeogenesis function and when they go onto a very low carb diet low blood sugar becomes a problem and as their body can't keep up supply, the body down regulates glucose consumption by producing rT3 and FT3 levels go down, sometimes this is called hibernation response.

Despite the chaos engulfing the RFU, the Six Nations are bearing down on England.
With a caretaker coach being put in place, he will have plenty of young talent to choose from.
As the RFU have come out and said that the World Cup in 2015 is now the priority, it's time for England to clean house and start trying some young talent in place of the aging senior side.
With an average age of 23, this is a young side without much Test level experience.
However, giving this group a chance to grow together will provide England with a strong side to bring into a home World Cup in 2015.

Yesterday's Star profile in Envoyé Spécial on France 2 was about Guillaume Canet. As the documentary also had footage from the 'Les Petits Mouchoirs' and 'Le dernier vol' sets as well as the Gaumont reception at this year's Cannes Film Festival, there was also new footage of Marion Cotillard. I added the caps and an edited clip.

CURTIS: Just found this story and althought this is not my direct line I just love this kind of stuff. John and James Curtis were the sons of Fielding Wood Curtis JR of Monroe Kentucky. I am decended from their Uncle William D Curtis who was the son of Fielding Wood Curtis Sr.
"A Curtis Biography". James Eddie is a descendant of John Curtis and Katherine Woods. I can't vouch for its accuracy but I love a good story.
The Curtis Biography
Shortly after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock Massachusetts in 1620 other Pioneers arrived for the great adventure of settling in the new world, where freedom was and has been up to 1965 some 345 years ago, although many of our freedoms have been taken away by a bureaucratic government that promises everyone something for nothing.
Most of the early settlers, were of Scotch Irish decent with some English and Germans making up the total. Among the Scotch Irish were the Curtis and Woods families, who among others pushed farther into the wilderness, and after Daniel Boone had blazed the trail through the Cumberland Gap, while dodging Indian arrows at the risk of his life, he then reported to the settlers an almost unbelievable story of the Beautiful Cumberland Valley where game was so plentiful they did not have to hunt for it.
The Curtis and Woods families and many others were in the rush to get to the Paradise of wonders, to make their homes, some of the early settlers had names as Hagan, Pitcock, Page, Tooley, Peterman, Strode, Millers who were German, Kirkpatrick, Bushong and many others too numerous to mention. State lines had not been drawn and what is now Monroe County Kentucky was claimed as Virginia County, Virginia, but Virginia ceded her claim to Kentucky during the term of President James Monroe, and the County was named Monroe after our President.
Fate or whatever cause these things brought John Curtis and Katherine Woods together, John was a tall man six feet and two inches, two hundred pounder all muscles and (?), Katie was a short brown-eyed lass with beauty and courage, and made a real Pioneers wife for her husband. They became my grandparents, in these days man only fought Indians and wild animals with guns and knives, if anyone fell out or got to much to drink, they fought bare knuckles to settle it or to decide which was the better man.
Grandma told me that many times people would wake up in the night to find their homes set on fire by the Indians who were yelling outside waiting to kill or capture them and trade them back for something the whites had, food guns beads, etc.. Sometimes whole families were wiped out and scalped, freedom did not come easy to the settlers and today we do not appreciate our heritage they left us.
Now back to our fore fathers and mothers, Grandpa had a brother Jim, who was also a strapping big and fearless man, they never picked a fight or ran from one. They settled finally on line creek south of Tompkinsville, Ky. where Grandpa obtained a homestead of large acreage and much of it creek bottoms all virgin land just waiting for the woodsmans axe . When he and my great uncle Jim wanted excitement they would walk across the hills and creeks to Celina, TN to a small settlement, where after filling up with mountain dew, they would stand back and take on as many as wanted a good fist fight, and they were never licked.
One time Grandpa decided to go by himself and the old gang seeing him alone had decided to get even, and Grandma heard him coming home about midnight, singing and once in awhile he would give the mountain yell or yoddle, like hee-aye, and she knew he had been fighting, so when he came in he told her well Katie, I put seven of e'm in the ditch, but she thought he was just bragging, but next day a neighbor that saw it all told her that seven men jumped him even before he got his drink. He picked up the first one to get in reach and threw him at the others knocking most of them down, then knocked the others down and was ready for the others, after it was over he picked them up and tossed them all in a ditch near the little country store. So in this kind of setting, they had three sons Jessie Monroe, James and Jacob who became my father.
Jessie married Ellie Hagan, Jim married him a Tennessee woman who raised him a son and daughter, Hershel and Mattie he nicknamed cricket who married Andrew Cherry in Tennessee, Uncle Jess had nine children Vennie (or Vernie), Wesley, Sarah, Laborn, Ruthie, Tommy, Elvira, Macy and Calvin. Jacob married Elizabeth Pitcock they had Nancy, Roscoe, and _____, his wife died at the age of 24 leaving him with three small children age 1 to 4, he met Macy Devine at Evansville, Indiana a year later while he was captain of a racing boat where his team beat all the contenders. Dad logged and rafted since the age of 16, on the Cumberland river to Nashville, Tenn. also on the Green and Ohio rivers.
He was an expert oarsman as well as a swimmer and wrestler, he was bossing a logging crew atthe time, after a whirlwind courtship he married the little brunette beauty about five feet two and 95 pounds, nineteen years old who in a few years became my mother, as the third of six sons, _____,_____,_____, _____, _____ and _____. She was an orphan, she descended from a Pioneer family who had pushed farther west into what is now Indiana, near Grayson Springs, where her father while still single and about 18 years old along with two neighbors, were captured by Indians one day when they had laid their guns down to hoe corn in a small clearing in the timber.
They were hustled along prodded with their own guns, for three days and nights without food, they went north near the Wabash river, the Indians often ate dried vension or deer meat. They arrived at the camp near sundown the third day, where they were quickly stripped of all clothing painted with stripes then the squas and youth were lined up in two rows a few feet apart leaving an opening in between, the prisnors were forced to run the (gammet?) with the promise if they got through they could go free. The women and youths were armed with sticks and stones to prevent them from reaching the other end.
But after being beaten severly they were tied to stakes with deerskin thongs, wood was piled high about them for the final fun, but Andrew Devine not wanting to be burned alive insulted the old woman in their own language while they were trying to blow the fire into a blaze, thinking they would get mad and kill them instantly he taunted them and finally spit in ones ear, she then beat him with a stick, it was then growing late, so the braves decided to keep them till the next night to have more fun, so they cut them loose and had them put in a log stockade with a dirt floor, leaving an old deaf man to guard them.
They took off on another raid to get more prisnoers, it was luck they were not bound. Late in the night the old man fell asleep by the little fire he had made to keep the spring chill out, but the whites were not asleep, on finding some bullets in their cloths the Indians had missed, also a small spoon ladle, they quietly melted the lead and poured it in the old mans ear, he gave a little moan and was dead.
Taking the Indian blankets tieing them together they boosted the smallest man to the top of the stockade where he tied the blankets then hauled the others up, they had just dropped to the ground outside when they heard the war whoops of the returning Indians. Then it was every man for himself as they ran through the woods, the Indians were gaining and Andrew Devine lay down by a fallen tree raking the leaves over him, soon an Indian walked down the tree trunk and stopped right over him and he could see the toes of the Indian Moccisan while shouting orders to the others, but soon ran on.
Then the white man ran for his life, all three arrived home safe but not together on the sixth day after they were taken, almost starved. The settlers had sent out rescue partys but could find no sign of them, then soon after Andrew met a fair dark eyed damsel by name of Lucy Hastings who soon became his bride, they had five daughters, Fanny, Lucy, Mollie, Nannie and Macy who became my mother. They had two sons Jim and Andrew. Mother had six boys of her own, _____, _____, _____,_____, _____, and _____ also a stepmother to my half sister Nancy and two half brothers ______ and Roscoe.
The Civil War between the States in the early sixties had prevented us from ever seeing either of our grandfathers, we only knew one of our grandfathers. Grandfather Devine like all other settlers plowed his corn by moon light and kept his horses in caves or the timber by day to keep the Union army from stealing them, but being poor health he took pnewmonia and died.
Then the soldiers came and took all their horses leaving an old horse that had been shot and almost dead, but Aunt Lucy, had a black filly she called Black Nell, she threw her arms about the mares neck and begged them not to take her, her father had given it to her, but they shoved her aside and threatened to shoot her, so they doctored the old horse and fed him until it was able to work a little, then grandmother plowed the corn as the kids were all to small. While in Kentucky the Curtis family and everybody was having their own troubles, a battle was raging in Tompkinsville and the town was burned to the ground after overcoming the brave defenders who were buried in the old soldiers grave yard on a hill south east of town. I have been told a business building now stands over the remains of these brave defenders, people forget so quickly in the wake of the nothern army, roving bands like Qunatrell and Morgans were robbing and killing and terrifying the people in the southern states.
One night in the year 1863 my Grandfather Curtis was sitting by his open fire place with my Dad asleep on his lap when the sound of galloping horses dashed up to his door, laying my Dad who was just two years old across the foot of the bed, he took his coat off and covered him with it then went out to see what was wanted, as he stepped out a hail of bullets cut him down but in falling he grabbed a man and pulled and shot him dead, leaving Grandmother with three small boys 2 to 6 years old, the yanks had took all the food and green coffee was selling at $1.00 a pound, limit a quarters worth, bacon was also one dollar, no sugar to be had, the court house with all it's records had been burned the word was sent out for everyone to bring in their deeds to be recorded, so Grandmother Curtis and many others sent their deeds to their farms and after several months they were notified their deeds had been stolen before recorded, then came the carpetbaggers, strangers with their deeds to their farms made in their own names, thus the rightful owners were dispossed by law and the farms taken over by others so Grandmother was a double loser, first her husband then her home, yet she raised her three fine men, kind, fearless, independent, hard workers and honest whose courage and strength and blood lines have flowed into many different families through out the last three centurys or more and their will always be a Curtis around, a friend worth having a foe undaunted and unafraid and every Curtis should be proud of his or her name. The Curtis tribe have ran mostly to males and have spread rapidly, mostly they are deeply religious and strive to lead clean lives making their word their bond, they are dependable and give their all in war or in peace.

More road work ahead: Grant paves way for Snoqualmie downtown project's second phase
As construction crews hit the final stretch for Snoqualmie's town center street and sidewalk improvements, city planners are already looking at the next big change for downtown.
Phase one of the Town Center Infrastructure Improvement Project will wrap up next month, but downtown merchants can expect a second round of construction in 2012. A $500,000 grant from the Puget Sound Regional Council is adding force to a second phase of town center improvements.
Plans call for 12-foot sidewalks, lighting, drainage and safety improvements on Railroad Avenue between Fir Street and Newton Street.
"It's part of the revitalization of the city," said Snoqualmie Public Works Director Dan Marcinko, who relayed the timetable at an Oct. 6 meeting of downtown merchants.
The next phase is meant to encourage business owners to improve their properties, and "shows that we're putting our money where our mouth is," Marcinko said.
When finished, State Route 202 would include two 14-foot lanes with reverse-angle parking on both sides of the street for the entire three-block stretch. The city envisions an 18-foot sidewalk plaza in front of the Snoqualmie Depot. The project will bring the crossings into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Work would begin in spring 2012 and end by November.
"I don't want to disrupt business any more than we have to," Marcinko said. "We want to get in and out as quickly as possible."
Public involvement will be invited next spring on the plans. Marcinko said alternatives to the basalt standing stones are being considered.
The city has applied for two $3 million grants from the state to fund the project.
Finishing phase 1
Issaquah-based Sanders General Construction is expected to finish the $3.2 million first phase of town center improvements.
Workers paved Falls Avenue and River Street last week, and street poles will be coming down in the downtown core this month.
Fine October weather helped.
Marcinko said the city has been very satisfied with Sanders' work.

Just moved into my college dorm for the summer and hooked up my xbox and to my dismay it cant find the wireless network. I know its there. My iPhone picks it up just fine. any ideas? Its the 4th and my IT department isnt open.
Oh yeah I also tried to set it up via connect to new network. You know the one where it doesnt pick it up so you have to specify.
Apologies for the horrendous lack of apostrophes but in my move I lost the cap to the apostrophe key on my keyboard. :(
Edit: little tidbit from my college tech site explaining the wireless setup.
WPA2 Enterprise (not Personal or PSK) with AES encryption, and PEAP authentication
PS Xbox the forums are ugly, clunky, and non informative, especially to new users.
It is an old 360 with the microsoft 99.99 adapter, or is it a 360-s model?
Is your phone getting a good signal (example, all bars full?) from the same spot your 360 is trying to connect from? It might just be too weak for the 360 but strong enough for your phone. Check your adapter and 360 - it might be something wrong with one of them. Do you have any other wifi devices besides the phone and 360?
New users are not level 3.
You say: "Gameplay is more important than story."I say: "Why can't I have both?"
The new one with the built in wi fi. Great signal on iPhone. iPhone is right next to 360. Dont see that as an issue. There are around 15 access in and or around me within 20 or so feet. My computer has wireless but it doesnt pick up the signal either which is odd. But then again I did lose the antenna for it. Its a new computer so the computer isnt the issue, I dont think.
It still looks horrendous.
Hey mate, it's quite possible you'll need to work with your IT department in the dorms to establish the connection, but let's see if we can't get this sorted out today ourselves. For starters, we'll need as much info as possible, so please answer the bold questions listed here.
Mister Fitzer - Xbox Community Engagement
What Country/State/Province do you live in? Chicago, Illinois, USA
Modem brand & model number: unknown
Router brand & model number: unknown
Network Connection Type: Wireless/Wired Wireless
If Wireless, what type of encryption are you using? WPA2 Enterprise (not Personal or PSK) with AES encryption, and PEAP authentication
Things you have tried: Setting it up manually, restarting Xbox, restarting computer, turning everything off and then trying to connect, installed root certs, checked for new driver, disabled and re enabled wireless connector,
Is UPnP Enabled? Yes/no/Unknown : Unknown
Is NAT Type Open? unknown
Any Error Codes you encounter:
What type of internet do you have? Cable/DSL/T1/3G? unknown
Who is your ISP(Internet Service Provider)? unknown
When you run "Test Xbox LIVE connection" what is the exact message shown on screen? Cant connect to network.
I know its not hidden.
Most universities have strict settings on their networks to prevent people from using them for illegal activities. Some of those settings may be preventing you from connecting your console to their network. You will most likely have to wait until the IT department is open so you can talk to them about connecting it, if they allow it at all, to their network.

Now that Pennsylvania has resumed executions after 33 years, does this mean many more to come?
The answer, experts say, is yes - but probably not in the next few years.
The 185 men and four women on death row all have at least one avenue of appeal remaining, if they choose to exercise it, said Robert Dunham, director of the Pennsylvania Post-Conviction Defender Association. This includes Rodney Griffin, a Delaware County man whose execution is scheduled for May 30, and two inmates on whom Gov. Ridge signed death warrants Friday.

by sanctuaryofsoul on 2012-06-19 08:41:26
Yesterday at a gig I went to move my model selector knob and the tip came off. For a 1499 guitar this is upsetting, does anyone have any recommendations as to how to fix. There seems to be no ahesive bond so should I put some super glue and put it in myself. Or, is this beyond me and without risking voiding a warranty should I take it to a L6 warranty location.
by player99 on 2012-06-19 15:52:32
Mine did that the other day as well. The metal part just fell right off. It still works with out it. Actually makes the guitar lighter. :-)
by tomt6257 on 2012-08-18 08:20:36
I had the same thing happen. I have only played the guitar 5 times. It doesn appear to be any way other than glue to get it to stick.
by player99 on 2012-08-18 12:52:26
Mine did the same thing. If you glue it watch out you don't get glue or thumb prints on the pickguard.
by toasterdude on 2012-08-19 19:00:33
Hmmm. . .I hate the way the stock gold looking knob covers and rings look on my new xplants. I was going to look into ordering a chorme model selector knob froma service center. Unfortunately they don't have a chrome tuning selection knob. I may have to go black for that. Thats sucks.
Now that I know how easy they fall off. . .I sort of hope mine do. . .so I can look at gluing on a chrome, or pearloid type replacement.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

It's never too late, for a guy, at least... Tony Randall, Anthony Quinn & Clint Eastwood, all had children in their later years. But I feel for ya...And getting sappy is ok if you're a maple tree. Try getting weepy, that works better...
So, I re-read what I wrote in regards to only having to kids. Sigh. Made my heart ache. I always imagined having more, or at least also one girl.
I won't get too sappy. Let's look at this recipe:
artichoke ceviche
dairy, soy, and gluten free
1 6 ounce jar artichoke hearts, chopped
1/2 head cauliflower, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed, diced
5 shiitake mushrooms,diced
1 avocado, diced
1/3 red onion, diced
1/4 – 1/3 cup arame
juice of 1 grapefruit*
Chop all ingredients (except arame and grapefruit) in uniform size (a small dice), combine in bowl. Add arame and grapefruit juice, toss to combine. Cover and store in refrigerator to marinate.
Yum!! Sounds refreshing. I love artichokes, and have some cauliflower and mushrooms to use up. I think it would be lovely alongside some fish.
And I found a recipe to make your own Almond Joys. Wooohoo! Primal enough I think. I might tweak it, it's mostly coconut meat, coconut milk, almonds and melting dark chocolate over it all. Yes, please, I'll have another. I'll post if I make it!
It's never too late, for a guy, at least... Tony Randall, Anthony Quinn & Clint Eastwood, all had children in their later years. But I feel for ya...And getting sappy is ok if you're a maple tree. Try getting weepy, that works better...

Oh, I'm making those Almond Joys by the end of the week.
This morning's tally:
2 eggs, 1/2 avocado, chicken sausage
Coffee with coconut milk
3 mile walk with kids and dog
Play at the playground
A rousing game of checkers and Chutes and Ladders
Yoga at home with my oldest while the baby slept
Yoga turned into a dance party after about 4 poses
Tonight's dinner plans:
Gluten free individual pizza crusts topped with everyone's favorite toppings
I have some spinach, artichokes, and onions for mine
Kindergarten starts for my oldest in less than a month, and I feel completely unprepared, both physically and emotionally. Kindergarten? Already? Tempus fugit. We have a few weeks of unstructured time stretching in front of us, but I'm still trying to sort out work and childcare and manage getting ready for kindergarten. And hubby has to travel to NYC and San Jose for work. Deep breaths.

Ahhhh. The kidlets are asleep. A long day for us all.
The pizzas turned out just okay. The rice-tapioca crusts were not great, and I'm thinking I could probably make them better by baking them myself. Though the caramelized onions on mine were fantastic, my oldest whined about every detail: too much sauce, too little cheese, so on. He begged for some take-out pizza next week. Poor kid with a mom that won't let him eat Papa John's.
It was a whiny evening I had to cope with by myself as hubby is traveling. The only upside now is that I can stretch myself out on the couch and watch my favorite schlock: True Blood.
I have some dark chocolate and water and two weeks' worth of catching up to do. That actor fella that plays Alcide turns avocadogirl into a hot puddle of guacamole.

My evening of indulgence with my boyfriend, Alcide, and dark chocolate turned into a sleepless night. Part of it was staying up too late, a couple of extra pieces of dark chocolate and then a teething baby. I think I slept about 4-5 hours.
Despite the indulgence and the lack of sleep, I somehow weigh less this morning. Go figure. It's probably due to a loss of brain cells, or dehydration.
It's another day ahead alone with my boys. We are headed back to the playground and then the library before lunch and nap time. I had some yogurt and berries this morning as I had to juggle the kids and pets by myself, and the thought of having to wash a dish or pan was a little to much to deal with at 8 am.
I think we will improvise the rest of the day, it's too hot to worry about making meals. I have plenty of canned salmon for myself and almond butter for the kids to keep us sustained until the reinforcements arrive.
I love reading about your food, it all sounds delicious! Reminded me Inhave an avocado in the fridge I can eat w my eggs later, shrimp in the pantry I can make a delightful little salad with... Yum! Hope you have a good day with your kids despite the lack of sleep - a trip to the park always helps us on those days.
SW 149 (July 9th, 2012)
CW 140 & 30% bf (Aug. 4, 2012)
Goal 25% bf
We went to the playground and it rained.
The baby is getting his first molars and is so fussy he struggled to get down for a nap and then napped for only 1 hour.
It's already a long day. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the oldest active while keeping the baby comforted. I'm letting them watch "Cars", the first TV time since Monday, while I have a second cup of coffee (with butter because I need all the baddasss-ness I can muster) and think up a plan. I might head to an indoor playground, but that usually means a mall and the oldest begging for junk food at the mall. Le sigh. I'm only going to worry about one battle at a time.
Maybe the sunshine will come back and we can go for a hike. I think making my older one hike while I wear the fussy babe would be ideal. Rain, rain, thunder, go away!!!!
Today marks one month since I officially changed my WOE. I had been reading several books and shifting things around in my diet, but it was 7/9 when I really took the plunge and cut out all the grains.
I've lost 2.5 lbs in that time. Not too dramatic and perfectly sane. I don't have that much too lose so a reasonable loss. I'm about 5 lbs away from my goal weight. My size 6 shorts are falling off my hips, my size 4s are comfy and I slipped into a size 2 Athleta skort yesterday so woot, or whoosh?
I haven't had an RA flare-up even though I'm eating meat. CW has linked RA with red meat so I was curious. I don't eat as much red meat as many other people, but significantly more than in the last 10 years. I had a few days where my joints hurt, but I'm not sure why. Perhaps too much sugar? The weather? Lack of sleep?
I have figured out there are some primal foods that don't agree with me: fatty meat like ribs/short ribs are yummy but I felt terrible after eating them twice. Cheese also seems to slow me down. I'm ok with butter and yogurt. Macadamia nuts also seem to pose an issue. I can't figure out why, maybe their fatty acid profile or I haven't found ones good enough. Almonds and most other nuts are okay, though I'm sure I eat more than suggested.
I still need to eat at least three meals a day to sate my hunger. No IF for me yet. I'm sure it's due to nursing. I have tried skipping breakfast or lunch when I don't feel hungry, but I've ended up crashing 2 hours later and eating too much at my next meal.
The areas that still need work: LHT and sprinting. I get plenty of slow movement, but I did before this WOE. My small step goals to reach by 9/9 is at least 2 LHT workouts a week, and at least one sprint. Right now I do my sprints in the pool by swimming as fast as I can, but I'd like to run, too. My joint issues make me fearful of running again. I have to sort through and maybe test it out. Last time I ran, before my last pregnancy, I ended up with swollen joints and a week of excruciating pain. I'm hopeful as my WOE changes, other changes are so possible.
A very nice synopsis!

Courtesy of my 5-year-old, a picture of me 1 month into primal. I don't really have a before, there aren't a lot of pictures of me being taken except when in the hands of kidlets. I'm also usually the one pointing the phone or camera.
The thing that I notice first is that I'm pretty tan. I'm fair and usually don't tan, or try not to get too much sun. But this past month, I've tried to get 30 minutes in the morning while walking the dog without sunscreen. I've also laid off reapplying it so religiously. I haven't burned and I don't think I'm frying to a crisp, but I can tan apparently.
Also, I'm feeling better about my arms. I've never liked my arms very much, but you know, not so bad. I swear they look so much better than they did 30 days ago.
Anyway, I should get a more full-body shot and compare every 30 days or so. Though I really want to focus on the health aspect and the exercise, but what can I say? I'm human and vain, too.
Today's lunch was so awesome I could have eaten two servings:
Dandelion and mixed greens with tomatoes, onions, olives, fresh mozzerella, and a super juicy, extremely tender skewer of marinated steak
The only reason I didn't was that it was at a restaurant during a quick business lunch meeting and I didn't want to be scarfing food the whole time.
Dinner was what I call "cold dinner":
Pickles, sauerkraut, slices of turkey and chicken breast, slices of cucumbers and tomatoes, and some almonds
And speaking of almonds. Yes, uh-huh, I have all the ingredients to make the Almond joys.
Here's a link to the recipe:
I substituting the rice milk with coconut milk, the agave nectar for some raw honey. Otherwise, I think it's pretty straightforward. Wish me luck.

Tonight and tomorrow is when most modern Pagans celebrate Samhain. Samhain is the start of winter and of the new year in the old Celtic calendar. This is a time when the ancestors are honored, divinations for the new year are performed, and festivals are held in honor of the gods. It is a time of final harvest before the long winter ahead. It is perhaps the best-known and most widely celebrated of the modern Pagan holidays.
An ancestor altar.
This time of year also sees the celebration of Velu Laiks ("the time of spirits") by Baltic Pagans,Winter Nights by Asatru in mid-October, Foundation Night in Ekklesía Antínoou, Fete Gede by Vodou practitioners, Día de los Muertos for followers of Santeria and several indigenous religions in Mexico and Latin America, Diwali for Hindus (October 26th this year), and astrological "true" Samhain on November 7th for some Witches and Druids. In addition, Pagans in the Southern Hemisphere are currently celebrating Beltane.
It is a time when some communities acknowledge the Mighty Dead.
"The Mighty Dead are said to be those practitioners of our religion who are on the Other Side now, but who still take great interest in the activities of Witches on this side of the Veil. They have pledged to watch, to help and to teach. It is those Mighty Dead who stand behind us, or with us, in circle so frequently."
Many who have been dear to our communities have crossed the veil this past year, joining the ranks of the Mighty Dead, including Jehanah Wedgwood, Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson, Shakmah Winddrum, Janine Pommy Vega, Kenneth Grant, Bone Blossom, Merlin Stone, Lord Senthor, Bronwen Forbes, Silva Joseph, Brian Fairbrother, Arthur Evans, and Lord Merlin.
"I love that story about Susan Anthony that Zsuzsanna Budapest tells in her book. Some journalist asked Susan Anthony, because she didn't believe in orthodox religion, I suppose, "Where do you think you're to go when you die?" She said, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to stay around and help the women's movement." So even if I don't live long enough to see these things, I'll be around to make a nuisance of myself." –Doreen Valiente, the Mother of Modern Witchcraft.
You can also find a list of departed pioneers, founders, and elders at the Green Egg Zine.
Below you'll find an assortment of quotes from the media, and fellow Pagans, on the holiday.
"Folklore holds that liminal times and spaces (crossroads, thresholds, midnight, Samhain) bring us to a closer relationship with the Otherworlds, lands of enchantment and imagination. The Veil between our everyday world and the Otherworlds begins to thin. The inhabitants of the Otherworlds reach out to us and make themselves felt.. The nature of those inhabitants varies across stories and traditions – they may be the Good Folk, the puca and the bean-sidhe, the kelpie of the well and the hinkypunk of the marsh, and other kinds of creatures as well. Many of the secular traditions of Halloween are inspired by the tales of these creatures, playing on the possible relationships between humans and spirits." – Literata and Morwen, The Slacktiverse
LGBT writers, such as poet Judy Grahn, have written of Halloween as a "great gay holiday." Grahn wrote in her history of gay culture, Another Mother Tongue, that Halloween came to be observed by gay people as their special night because LGBT people had served as priests, witches, shamans, healers and intermediaries between living and spiritual worlds in many societies throughout history. […] Jesse Monteagudo, a gay South Florida writer, wrote in Halloween: the Great Gay Holiday, that he believes LGBT people adopted Halloween as their special night because it had "a lot to do with our role as outsiders in society; our propensity for cross-dressing and gender-bending; our love for the unusual and the fantastic; our ability to find humor in the absurdities and misfortunes of life; our fascination with festive costumes and the world of make-believe; and our special capacity to have fun." – David Webb, Dallas Voice
In his book The Pagan Mysteries of Halloween, Jean Markale describes Samhain (pronounced "sow-en") as an important festival that served to unite the tribe. To commemorate the New Year, fires all over the Celtic world were extinguished the night of Samhain, then relit from ceremonial blazes kindled by Druids, the religious leaders of the pre-Christian Celts. Animals were slaughtered and sacrificed to Celtic deities. "In marking the onset of winter, Samhain was closely associated with darkness and the supernatural," adds Nicholas Rogers, a York University history professor, in Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night. "The festival was closely related with prophecy and story-telling." It was a time out of time, "charged with a peculiar preternatural energy." – Chris McGowan, The Huffington Post
Miguel de la Torre, Professor of Social Ethics at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado, relayed a story told to him by a Protestant pastor. This man was in Mexico doing missionary work and had, for many years, refused to participate in annual Day of the Dead celebrations. He complained about the money that the people spent on candles and lamented their engagement with what he saw as "evil." However, the year his father died, he reluctantly went to the cemetery. As the night went on, the pastor "lit candles, told stories of his father, and saw that as a healing moment and began to develop relationships with the people." – Mary Valle, Religion Dispatches
"Halloween or the Festival of Samhain for Wiccans is by far Salem's biggest holiday of the year. There are all kinds of parties, celebrations like the "Temple of Nine Wells Samhain Magick Circle," eerie séances, magic shows, concerts, readings and other "haunted happenings" to experience throughout October leading up to the big night. Ask around and you might get invited to some of the spookier, more exclusive events. Salem gets crowded during late October, but the spirit of the city is most alive during the sliver between our world and the next. This otherworldly revolving door is said to be the thinnest on All Hallows Eve." – Bob Ecker, Napa Valley Register
"The Day of the Dead, or Dia de los Muertos, honors departed souls of loved ones who are welcomed back for a few intimate hours. At burial sites or intricately built altars, photos of loved ones are centered on skeleton figurines, bright decorations, candles, candy and other offerings such as the favorite foods of the departed. Pre-Columbian in origin, many of the themes and rituals now are mixtures of indigenous practices and Roman Catholicism." – Russell Contreras, The Associated Press
May you all have a blessed Samhain, blessings to you, and your beloved dead on this season. Let this new cycle be one of great blessings for all of you. Also, in recognition of the holiday, I've created a special edition of my podcast chock-full of Halloween and Samhain-themed music! Enjoy!

How to: Set OS X Mountain Lion Software Update Frequency
Apple removed the ability to set Software Update frequency in System Preferences — now it automatically checks once a week, every seven days. However, with a little tinkering, you can set OS X Mountain Lion software update frequency from one to seven days.
Of course, you can manually click the "Check Now" button in System Preferences or via Software Update under the Apple menu. However, we didn't buy Macs to be the monkey pressing a button, again and again.
Set Mountain Lion Software Update Frequency
In the Finder, while holding down the Option key, select Library from the Go menu. In the Library folder, locate the Preferences folder and open com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist in TextEdit or Xcode — therein, change the ScheduleFrequency key from 7 (days) to 1 (day), or any number in between, and then save (.plist).
Alternately, you can do this voodoo via Terminal, as well. From the Finder > Applications> Utilities > Terminal and typ or copy/paste:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate ScheduleFrequency 4
Again, the business end is the schedule frequency, which you can set from 1 to 7 days.

This week, Raven, the mobile surgical robot developed by the University of Washington, leaves for the Atlantic Ocean. The UW will participate in NASA's mission to submerge a surgeon and robotic gear in a simulated spaceship. For 12 days the surgical robotic system will be put through its paces in an underwater capsule that mimics conditions in a space shuttle. Surgeons back in Seattle will guide its movements.
The 12th NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations test will take place May 7 to 18 off the coast of Florida. The robot leaves Seattle on Friday. During the mission, Raven will operate in the Aquarius Undersea Laboratory, a submarine-like research pod about 60 feet underwater. This mission will test current technology for sending remote-controlled surgical robotic systems into space.During the mission, four crew members will assemble the robot and perform experiments. The two larger-than-life black robotic arms will use surgical instruments to suture a piece of rubber and move blocks from one spindle to another on what looks like a delicate children's toy. The brains behind the robot's movements will be three surgeons in front of a computer screen in Seattle: Drs. Mika Sinanan and Andrew Wright of the University of Washington's Medical Center, and Dr. Thomas Lendvay of Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle.Instructions will travel over a commercial Internet connection from Seattle to Key Largo, Fla., then via a special wireless connection from there to a buoy, and finally via cable underwater. Images of the simulated patient will travel back over the same network.Raven was built over the past five years in the UW's BioRobotics Lab, co-directed by professor Blake Hannaford and research associate professor Jacob Rosen in the department of electrical engineering, with partners in the UW's department of surgery. The da Vinci surgical robot, which is used at the UW and elsewhere, weighs nearly a half-ton. Raven weighs only 50 pounds.Lightweight, mobile robots could travel to wounded soldiers on the battlefield to treat combat injuries. Surgical robotic systems also could be used in disaster areas so doctors worldwide could perform emergency procedures. The robots could even travel to remote areas in the developing world so local doctors could get help on difficult procedures. NASA will test the robot's suitability for a mission to space, where it could perform emergency surgery without requiring a surgeon to be onboard.Raven went on its first road trip last summer to California's Simi Valley. Researchers installed an operating-room tent in gusting winds and temperatures nearing 100 degrees F (40 C), and hooked the equipment up to gasoline-powered generators. Surgeons completed the first field test communicating with the operating tent using an unmanned aircraft equipped with a wireless transmitter.The NASA mission poses new challenges. Researchers shrank the computers and power supplies that support the robot so they can be carried in dive bags by technical scuba divers and fit into the limited space. Most importantly, the engineers wrote an instructional manual so crew members could reassemble the robot and troubleshoot any problems they encounter. "When you build a technology as a lab prototype, it takes someone with a Ph.D. six weeks to put it together," Hannaford said. "If you build something for the field, it's got to be repairable, modular and robust."Once everything is installed in the undersea lab the crew will be alone with the robot. Crew members can communicate by phone with the ground team but they will have to operate the robot and fix any problems on their own. The four-person crew includes research collaborator and surgeon Dr. Tim Broderick of the University of Cincinnati, who will observe the robot's movements and determine its suitability for space travel. Two NASA astronauts and a NASA flight surgeon complete the crew.Also traveling to the research pod is the M7, a surgical robot developed by SRI International in Menlo Park, Calif. These two robots are the only existing prototypes for a mobile surgical robot, Hannaford said. Currently both robots are research projects and are not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use on humans.The UW's research is funded by grants from the U.S. Army's Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Department of Defense's Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.
Images from inside the Aquarius Underwater Laboratory will be available by request after May 8. Video footage may also be available. Send requests to Hannah Hickey, (206) 543-2580.

The Aquarius Undersea Laboratory is owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and is operated by the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

LEXINGTON, KY. Ali Castillo lined an RBI double down the right-field line in the 10th inning to break a scoreless tie and give the Charleston RiverDogs a 1-0 victory over the Lexington Legends on Saturday night at Whitaker Bank Ballpark.
Charlestons (66-62, 27-34 second half) third straight win clinched a series victory. Lexingtons (67-63, 28-33) losing streak reached 10 with the loss.
With one out in the top of the 10th and Casey Stevenson on first, Castillos double off Dayan Diaz (4-4) brought Stevenson all the way around with the games first run and the eventual game-winner. It was his second hit of the night and gave the RiverDogs their third consecutive one-run win.
Pedro Guerra earned his seventh save by striking out the side in the bottom of the 10th. Dan Mahoney (2-0) picked up his second win after he tossed two hitless innings.
Corey Black started for Charleston and in five frames, he allowed only one hit and one walk. Lexington almost got to him right away when Chan Jong Moon doubled to start the bottom of the first, but that was the only hit the Legends would get all night. Black retired the next three batters and went on to set down 12 in a row. Rigoberto Arrebato came in in the sixth and continued the fine pitching with two scoreless innings of his own.

H & W Sport Shop has been a staple in Campbellsville for 47 years. The local establishment started out as a small "mom and pop" retail store in downtown that sold Converse shoes and Dudley softballs. But as they have grown into a large business, they are now serving hundreds of teams, schools and individuals.
On Thursday evening, the storefront was busy once again, but this time for all the wrong reasons.
The city and county will hold a joint meeting Thursday to decide the future of the former Fruit of the Loom property.
"We're going to be talking about the TIF (Tax Incentive Financing) program," said Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers.
The Campbellsville City Council and Taylor County Fiscal Court will meet jointly at 7 p.m. at the Campbellsville Civic Center. There will be a public hearing at 6 p.m.
The Franklin sisters were stirring up a sweet way to give back on the first day of summer.
Makenna, 8, Halle, 6, and Anniston, 4, set up their lemonade stand Monday afternoon in front of their grandpa's store, Jeff's Food Mart.
It's that time of year again as the Campbellsville Fourth of July Celebration is quickly approaching.
The 40-year tradition is a time to celebrate America's birthday during a family fun packed weekend. From parades and fireworks to hot air balloons and live music.
The theme for this year's event is "Remember why ... The Fourth of July!" The grand marshal for the parade will be local retired Air Force Brigadier General Noah E. Loy.
A man who pleaded guilty to charges related to the sexual abuse of two victims will receive five years' probation.
With "tremendous reluctance," Taylor County Circuit Judge Todd Spalding accepted a plea agreement reached by Michael Sweeney's attorney Danny Butler and Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney John Miller.
"I'll be candid with you. I think this should go to trial, and let the chips fall where they may, and let a jury hear this case," Spalding told Sweeney.
An official opening for the Trace-Pitman Greenway hasn't been set, but the city hopes it will be completed by the end of the month.
Campbellsville City Council member Paul Osborne, who chairs the city's Trail Town Committee, had originally hoped for an official opening of the 2.2-mile trail by the end of the school year.
"We have had many rain delays; however, we are making good progress and expect to complete by June 30, the dead line," said Osborne. "It's a community thing, and we're working actively on it now."
It's time to saddle up and donate money to a worthy cause.
The Hill and Valley Saddle Club are having their 24th annual "Saddle up for St. Jude" fundraiser trail ride benefiting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital this weekend. The two-day event is set to start Friday, June 24, on Steve Gabehart's farm in Elk Horn.
The club has collect $35,000 over the years from this event.
Numerous things have been added to this year's event including free camping, live music and food.
Taylor Regional Hospital's Women Center has upgraded equipment to benefit their newborn babies.
They updated their newborn hearing screener to the ALGO 5 Newborn Hearing Screener. It combines Natus ALGO AABR® algorithm with technology to provide the newest solution for newborn hearing screening programs.
"It's the best of the best," Jenny Dobson, Director Women's Center/Nursery, said.
The Women's Center has had the new equipment since April.
The Campbellsville Fire Department raised $10,000 more than last year for Crusade For Children earlier this month, according to the Campbellsville Fire Department.
"We receive a lot of community support, from people donating money, food, services, etc," said Jennifer Johnson, who helped organize the local effort.
Johnson said they raised $28,162.42, more than the $18,075.72 that was raised last year. They had raised about $28,000 in 2014.
Things are continuing to move smoothly for Campbellsville Independent School construction. Mitchell Roe of Codell Construction Co. provided the board with photographs and an update of the CES Addition/Renovation project.
"We are basically on schedule," Roe said.
Construction is currently about 11 days behind schedule due to finding asbestos that didn't show up on any previous reports.

No representatives from Temple, UCLA, or St. John's were spotted at Southern during Saturday night's Public League Class A championship game. But the three finalists for Rysheed Jordan's services will no doubt hear about his last-minute heroics.
With 0.1 second remaining, after missing his first attempt from the free-throw line, the prized recruit calmly buried the second to give Roberts Vaux a 62-61, come-from-behind victory over stunned Math, Civics, and Sciences.
With 10.7 seconds to go, the 6-foot-3 phenom hit two foul shots to forge a 61-61 tie. That was followed by his steal in front of the MC&S bench. After a timeout, after he hurried the ball past midcourt and down the lane, he was fouled.

Kevin Cuneo: Turnout key on Tuesday
Many spring primaries in Erie tend to be rather sleepy events, with low voter turnout. But with a lively race for county executive, a judgeship at stake and various City Council and school board seats up for grabs, turnout will be crucial on Tuesday. The candidates who can most effectively motivate voters to go to the polls will stand the best chance of winning. It should be interesting. ... A note in the latest S.O.N.S. of Lake Erie newsletter said that Lake Erie anglers who for years have used the three Hammermill smoke stacks as a navigation aid -- "I'm fishing in 50 feet of water off the Hammermill stacks" -- are concerned about the pending demolition of the stacks. "The three smoke stacks will go the way of other forgotten Erie landmarks," the story's author writes. ... Speaking of fishing, May 27 will be a fish-for-free day for everyone who doesn't have a current license. The other fish-for-free day is July 4. ... Marc Blucas, the Girard native and former Yellow Jackets basketball star, is a busy actor these days, with a starring role in the TV show "Necessary Roughness" on USA. Yet he always seems to make an effort to touch base with his hometown when asked. Blucas will speak at the annual Erie Times-News Varsity Cup Banquet on June 4. I'll bet he's an interesting speaker. ... Paul Bizzarro, who died Wednesday at 72, was a promising boxer in his youth. His late brother, Johnny Bizzarro, once told me Paul could have been a champion, had he chosen to go that route. Another brother, Lou Bizzarro, compiled an excellent record in the ring, as did many of the sons and grandsons in the family.
The Rev. Michael Kesicki said he and his family are proud of his younger brother, the Rev. Timothy Kesicki, on Tim's appointment by Pope Francis to become president of the 2,500 Jesuit brothers and priests in the U.S. The pope is a Jesuit, so he obviously takes a big interest in the order's leadership in this country. The Kesicki brothers are Erie natives. ... Relish's Jennifer and Terri Reed are excited about the big Great Lakes Beach Glass Festival, set for Saturday and Sunday at the Bayfront Convention Center. The event is expected to draw thousands of people from several states and Canada. ... North East's Martha Dalrymple, 97, is proud of her great-granddaughter Madelyn Rainey, who just received word that she's been awarded a full scholarship to attend Space Camp at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. Hundreds of kids apply to the camp, and it's a big deal to be accepted, let alone win a scholarship. ... Erie's Ed Kacprowicz is mourning the death of his brother, Adam Kacprowicz, who died April 29 in Fort Wayne, Ind. Adam, who grew up in Erie, served valiantly in Word War II, and spent four months in a German POW camp. Ed is the last surviving member of the 11 Kacprowicz siblings. ... General McLane High School officials made a wise move in appointing Brian Schulz to succeed his dad, Hall of Fame coach Andy Schulz, as head basketball coach of the Lancers' boys team. I'm reminded what an outstanding coach Pat Flaherty, son of Bill Flaherty, was at Mercyhurst Prep. Pat is an excellent coach and it's surprising that a school hasn't moved to hire him. Mercyhurst was silly to let him get away. ... Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif., is one of the nicest horse racing tracks I ever visited, but it's set to close at the end of December and will be razed shortly thereafter. A development with about 3,000 upscale homes will be built on the 260-acre site near the airport.
