By SALLY JONES,
In response to Frank Santarpia's letter of Dec. 8, 2009 complaining about a congressional certificate of recognition given to a Peace Action of Staten Island honoree, photojournalist Thomas Good of Next Left Notes.
I can't help but read resentment in Frank's letter. After all, Frank's Staten Island Tea Party protests just as much in front of Congressman Mike McMahon's office as Peace Action.
If Frank believes what it says on the Staten Island Tea Party Web site that "people often feel disconnected from their elected representatives" and need a "platform from which their voices could be heard by their government," then he should respect the fine work of Next Left Notes whose mission statement is simply "Let the People Decide."

No it does not. If it did, capabilities could not support confinement. A pure object capability system allows Alice the elephant to pass a capability she has to any other elephants that Alice has access to. If Alice has no access to Bob the elephant, Alice cannot pass a capability to Bob. That is one of the points made by the Granovetter diagram. -- Text by me above is hereby placed in the public domain Cheers, --MarkM

Jerry Lewis is revered in the film industry as the inventor of the 'video follow', a device which is now standard equipment on big-budget movies: it gives film directors an instant video playback of each film take, without the time-consuming and expensive process of printing daily rushes. While I give Lewis credit for this innovation, I find his talents as a performer and director quite minor. The only Lewis performance which impressed me was his dramatic turn in 'The King of Comedy' (which, to Lewis's credit, apparently he largely improvised). In the rest of his filmography, there are occasional flashes of extreme originality, such as the typewriter sequence in 'Who's Minding the Store?'. Apart from such sporadic delights, Lewis remains for me someone who walks on the sides of his feet while screeching "Hey, lady!".Jerry Lewis starred in two self-named TV series. The first one (1963) combined a chat-show interview format with comedy sketches. Advance word predicted that this series was incredibly bad. A few hours before the premiere episode was aired live, a protester was seen outside the ABC-TV studio with a sign reading 'Ban the bomb before it goes off!' This same wisecrack applies just as well to Jerry Lewis's 1967 TV show.'The Jerry Lewis Show' ('67 edition) used a variety format ... but was slow, dull and self-indulgent with it, featuring some very bad artistic decisions. The main visual motif was a fingerpost: an elaborate depiction of a hand with one pointing finger, and a sign or label to tell us what the finger is pointing towards. On 'The Jerry Lewis Show', each sketch or musical number began with a rostrum camera panning slowly across a brightly-coloured drawing of a long and elaborately designed arm, ending in a fingerpost with the name of the guest star who was about to perform, or the title of the sketch we were about to witness. There was an attempt to vary the designs of the fingerposts to match the acts which they introduced: for instance, the Osmonds (a quartet at this point) were introduced with a shot of four intertwining fingerposts, each a different colour, converging towards a caption reading 'THE OSMONDS'. All that effort to such little effect.Tone-deaf Jerry Lewis saw fit to afflict us with his musical 'talents' in some weird production numbers. One episode featured a dreadful song called 'An Epicurean Delight', in which Lewis and two guest stars, all dressed as chefs, cavorted round a banquet table and sang(?) about how to create the perfect meal whilst getting drunk on cooking wine.This short-lived series featured Jerry Lewis in awful comedy sketches which were so generic that any performer could have done them just as well ... or just as badly. Examples: a fingerpost points to a caption reading 'A TOMB WITH A VIEW', which leads into a sketch featuring Jerry and a woman guest-star as archaeologists opening an Egyptian tomb. (She precedes him with an aerosol spray which we're meant to think is an air freshener, but she's really killing a fly.) Another sketch: Jerry is sent to a lumber camp to sack a brawny hot-tempered foreman named Brannigan, and then Jerry must take Brannigan's place in charge of a crew of hostile lumberjacks. Have another: Jerry and a male guest star (doing a bad imitation of Dean Martin) play jobless vaudevillains. The other guy decides to do a ventriloquist act, and he bullies Jerry into pretending to be his dummy. He draws vertical lines on Jerry's chin to make his mouth look like a vent-figure's jaw.Just occasionally in this brief series, Jerry aspired to something greater. In one long sketch with no dialogue, Jerry played a schlub who's locked in a penny arcade after closing time. He spots a Ray Bradbury-ish waxwork fortune-teller with a sign reading 'The Power of Positive Thinking'. This inspires Jerry to make various things happen just by pulling faces and making wishes. Of course, all the things he wishes for are stupid. This sort of silent character-study reminds me of Ernie Kovacs and the brilliant sketches he performed as his silent Everyman character named Eugene. But Kovacs's 'Eugene' sketches were very funny and featured some clever technical innovations, whereas Jerry Lewis (here, at least) isn't funny at all.I suppose that the real culprits on 'The Jerry Lewis Show' are the inept scriptwriters. But, as one-man-band Jerry Lewis was the producer who hired them, he must ultimately take the blame for their presence.'The Jerry Lewis Show' is totally unworthy of revival. Its badness doesn't even attain the level of so-bad-it's-good campiness. It's just bad, full stop.

I Was Never a Packrat Until I Became a ParentDan Pearce
I've always prided myself on my mad "keep nothing" skills. I always said that everything I don't use on a constant basis had better fit into a single closet. After getting married, I was okay with two closets worth of storage (as a couple), but no more than that.
My mom, who I love to the ends of the Earth, is a serious packrat. She has a ginormous storage room under their three car extended garage, and you practically need a machete to get through it. I won't lie. It's full of all sorts of awesomeness, and sometimes you wanna burrow through it just to see what treasures you'll find. I've been on more than one sentimental journey into the abyss that is her storage room.
But I always swore that would never be me. Probably because I had to move her ever-growing storage from house to house more than 20 times before leaving home. Such moments were when I learned to swear and hit inanimate objects for craziness relief.
The problem is, to hold onto a "keep nothing" winning streak, you really do have to keep nothing. This would upset my first wife because she'd pick the perfect card or give me something super thoughtful, and after I'd said thank you and loved it and looked at it for a few days, she'd find it in the garbage. After all, one card leads to two cards which leads to a baby elephant in the attic. And we couldn't have that.
Then I got this thing called a kid. And begrudgingly, I mentally conceded to a third closet worth of storage when all of his future stuff that we got at the baby shower couldn't fit into our current storage allotment. "We're gonna have to figure out how to consolidate or stop having kids, cause three closets is the max!" I wanted to say it, but I didn't want flack. So I thought it instead.
And one extra closet worked pretty well. Until he was big enough to hold a crayon. As it turns out (and I don't want to scare you "keep nothing" pre-parents), it's a lot harder to throw away a picture of a rainbow or a monster or a picture of Dad than it is to throw away a sappy Hallmark card. And so I went down to The Home Depot and I got a keepsake bin. Just a big plastic bin that we would keep all of Noah's stuff like that in. It didn't fit in any of the closets, but it fit under a bed, and that was okay.
Then I started finding places to put other things that I'd normally throw out or donate to charity after they'd lived their lives. Books. Toys. Clothes. Games. Car seats. After all… you never know when Noah might come around to liking them again. And if it was something he'd out-aged, you just never know but that he might have a little brother or sister in the future who would find use with it all.
Over time, The Home Depot was an enabling friend to me. I couldn't get myself to throw away or give away anything that had to do with my kid. Things like Halloween costumes and old bed sheets started needing a home, and big plastic bins were so easy, and so perfect. Eventually, it started creeping into other areas of my life. I started holding onto things from my wife, and later after the divorce things from whoever I was dating. Somewhere along the way I had become sentimental. Eventually it got so bad that I couldn't throw out old shoes that were full of holes. I couldn't throw out old dishes. I couldn't throw out much of anything.
Somehow, some way, I became a packrat. Just like my mom.
And I suddenly understand how it happened to her.
Which reminds me… I've got some baby elephant droppings to go clean up.

Israel is "seriously considering military action against Iran," according to a new report by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
The report cites two reasons for Israel's concern.
One is Iran's drive for nuclear weapons; the other is Russia's plans to provide Iran with a powerful missile defense system, which could make a military attack more difficult.
"Whatever Americans may think, Israeli leaders seem convinced that at least for now, they have a military option," according to the report. "However, Israelis see the option fading over the next one or two years."
According to the report, if the international community appears unable to stop Iran's nuclear progress, Israel may decide to act alone.

A Limerick About $20 Oregon Pinot noir
Slurping down Oregon Pinot
The finest of New World Vino
By Glass or by Case
Put a smile on your Face
It's better than gambling on Keno!
How to get the point across about a new wine, without repeating the same old words? It's a perpetual challenge. To allow a bit more leeway in our wine writing, we're introducing Avalon's casual Friday emails. It's our version of slacks and a Polo.
Since our website started (in 1996) we've tried some crazy stuff. I wrote an entire article describing wine with surfing lingo (unbelievably bad). We've compared wine to the MIR space station, tiny birds, monsters, weightlifters, old hippies, swimsuits, football players, well, you get the drift.
In the grand Avalon tradition of trying something completely different, and because Marcus is out of the office and can't stop me(!) we're selling wine with limericks today. And we challenge you to write your own limerick about Northwest wine! Prize? A free bottle of any of today's featured wines. And your limerick memorialized in the pages of northwest-wine.com.
To enter, email your limerick to email@example.com. Marcus's wife Alison, who teaches poetry at Linn Benton Community College, will be the judge. We'll announce the winner on the home page of the website. Entry deadline is Wednesday, September 23 for consideration in this week's contest.
Better than Keno $20 Oregon Pinot noirs
Broadley Vineyard
Willamette Valley
Pinot noir 08
Robert Parker's
Wine Advocate 90 Points
"Broadley's 2008 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley was bottled in June, 2009. A blend of three vineyards, it is a preview of just how good the 2008 vintage is in Willamette Valley. It offers up the superb perfume characteristic of the vintage; unlike 2007 in which spice notes dominate the aromatics, in 2008 fruit and floral aromas have the upper hand. On the palate it has layered, succulent cherry and raspberry fruit with excellent depth and balancing acidity. It has enough structure to evolve for several years but there is no need to defer your gratification. It is a sensational value in Pinot Noir".
Dark opaque, unfiltered, the scents, upon opening, are of black raspberry and spice. Flavors are juicy, with big black fruit. Blackberry and a bit of black cherry are refreshing, with a racy natural acidity. Ready to drink, approachable, but balanced, this wine will age for 2-5 years. - the winery
Patricia Green Cellars
"Dollar Bills Only"
Pinot noir 08
The Patty Green Dollar Bills Only 08 is definitely a crowd pleaser, but also a wine that a europhile palate wouldn't snub for the money.
The first hit on this wine is a sweet, toasty earthiness with some notes of morel mushrooms in the background. It opens up to loads of black berry and black cherry, with some floral notes hinting at cherry blossom, but also a lot of sweet orange and spice and a touch of cocoa powder.
The texture is creamy, and tastes of mixed berry pie filling and cinnamon sticks, again with that natural sweetness. The finish is long and reminds me of a raspberry/blackberry marmalade with a nice touch of thyme and oregano thrown in.
Overall this wine made me think of Christmas, with the orange, cinnamon, and pie filling flavors, and always that pinot sweetness. - Adrienne
Evesham Wood
Willamette Valley
Pinot noir 08
Evesham Wood Pinot noir Willamette Valley 08 - Swirling the Evesham Wood Willamette Valley Pinot noir 08 in the glass and taking a first big breath - cedar, red raspberry, nutmeg, and a hint of lavender arise. Subsequent inhales add rose petal, incense, and herbs to the mix.
A first sip boasts juicy red raspberry and red cherry flavors. Savoring the experience, sweet nutmeg, cinnamon, white pepper, licorice, and cranberry emerge. At the edge of perception, wisps of lavender fields, tiny wild roses, moss, and earth add threads of flavor to the wine fabric's weft. White pepper and cedar persist in the finish. - Jean
Westrey Wines
Oracle Vineyard
Pinot noir 07
Gorgeous. Vinous, spicy aromas of dark berries and black cherries pull you into to this seductive Pinot. An expressive array of creamy mixed berries and cherries is decorated with sweet earth, nutmeg, and minerals on the finish that just doesn't quit. Both complex and easy-going, this Pinot was an easy choice for Avalon's Reserve Pinot Noir Club. One of the standouts of the 2007 vintage.
Westrey Pinot noir Oracle Vineyard 07 is the Westrey's estate wine, made from Amy and David's own vineyard. David and Amy grow the grapes and make the wine together, combining their skills into an original vision. Considering the very high quality of the wine, this is a blow you away value. - Jean
Westrey Wines Justice Vineyard
Pinot noir 07
Westrey Justice 07 has captivating and bright scents of raspberries, woodspice, and light toast. A supple, elegant Pinot, the Justice's red raspberry core picks up darker shades of fruit, dried herbs and Earl Grey tea on the finish. The other Justice Vineyard designates sell for $50, making this a remarkable value.
Winemaker Amy Wesselman says this is the kind of wine that curls up in your lap and purrs. It's opulent, open, and delicious right now. Silky tannins, black fruit, and complexity make this a wine everyone loves.

To reach the Black Mountain trailhead, travel 4.2 miles on Highway 68 from the Highway 68/127 intersection east of Crossville, Tennessee, to a left on Cox Valley Road. Take Cox Valley Road about 3.5 miles to a right on Haley Cove Road. There is a playground on your immediate left. Take Haley Cove Road 1 mile to a right on Battown Road and travel 0.9 miles up to a three-way intersection. Take the immediate left at the Cumberland Trail State Park sign and proceed 3 miles up the narrow and steep paved Black Mountain Road to a the paved trail head parking area on the right. Parking is ample and the ADA connector trail begins on the west side of the parking area. Follow the paved connector trail 500 feet to its connection with the Cumberland Trail.
Be aware that this segment of the CT is in Central Time.
The Black Mountain trailhead can also be reached from I-40 at exit 329 and following Battown Road south.
Brady Mountain Trailhead:
To reach the Brady Mountain trailhead, take Highway 68 for 4.6 miles from the Highway 68/127 junction just east out of Crossville, Tennessee. The trail head is a large paved pull off on the right at the top of the rise above Grassy Cove. Brady Mountain Trail head serves as the southern terminus for the Black Mountain Trail and the northern terminus for the Brady Mountain Trail.
Jewett Road Trailhead:
To reach the Jewett Road Trailhead, continue on Highway 68 through Grassy Cove for 8.4 miles to a right turn on Jewett Road. Follow Jewett Road for 6.6 miles to trail head which is easy to overlook so drive slow and watch carefully for the trail head sign on right several yards off the road. There is no constructed trail head parking area, only a wide spot in the road. There is parking directly across the road from the trail head that is large enough for 1 average size car or maybe two small cars. There is another wide spot in the road about 200 feet past the trail head that is large enough for 2 or 3 cars.
A 2 mile extension of the CT south from Jewett Road south to the Head of the Sequatchie State park was under construction as of 2015.
Black Mountain hike description (north to south):
Black Mountain trailhead to Brady Mountain Trailhead: 3.6 miles: easy, (moderate to difficult if you hike uphill, south to north)
From the trailhead parking area atop Black Mountain, follow the paved path to Cumberland Trail and trailhead kiosk which marks the beginning of this hike. Trail switchbacks up a slope. Beyond top of slope, a side trail to left takes hikers out to a spectacular overlook of Grassy Cove. Continue on main trail about 900 feet beyond the side trail, arrive at the intersection of Black Mountain Trail with Black Mountain Loop Trail. Turn left onto Black Mountain Trail and begin a descent through a rock gateway. In winter months, watch for ice here.
Upon descending, the hiker finds oneself among rising narrow bluffs with numerous passageways. Exit the bluffs and continue 0.2 mile over recovered fields and down to the campsite. At campsite, the trail goes left around the campsite and down the west slope of Black Mountain. Many wonderful flowers can be viewed in the spring time in this mainly hardwood forested slope.
After descending Black Mountain, the trail crosses an old roadbed shortly before arriving at a 500 foot long spur trail to Windless Cave. From the spur trail intersection, it is 1.5 miles to Highway 68 and Brady Mountain Trailhead. The trail from the cave spur intersection to Rt. 68 was realigned in 2013.

Context Evaluation of the capacity of a patient to make medical decisions should occur in the context of specific medical decisions when incapacity is considered.
Objective To determine the prevalence of incapacity and assessment accuracy in adult medicine patients without severe mental illnesses.
Data Sources MEDLINE and EMBASE (from their inception through April 2011) and bibliographies of retrieved articles.
Study Selection We included high-quality prospective studies (n = 43) of instruments that evaluated medical decision-making capacity for treatment decisions.
Data Extraction Two authors independently appraised study quality, extracted relevant data, and resolved disagreements by consensus.
Data Synthesis Incapacity was uncommon in healthy elderly control participants (2.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7%-3.9%) compared with medicine inpatients (26%; 95% CI, 18%-35%). Clinicians accurately diagnosed incapacity (positive likelihood ratio [LR+] of 7.9; 95% CI, 2.7-13), although they recognized it in only 42% (95% CI, 30%-53%) of affected patients. Although not designed to assess incapacity, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores less than 20 increased the likelihood of incapacity (LR, 6.3; 95% CI, 3.7-11), scores of 20 to 24 had no effect (LR, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.53-1.2), and scores greater than 24 significantly lowered the likelihood of incapacity (LR, 0.14; 95% CI, 0.06-0.34). Of 9 instruments compared with a gold standard, only 3 are easily performed and have useful test characteristics: the Aid to Capacity Evaluation (ACE) (LR+, 8.5; 95% CI, 3.9-19; negative LR [LR−], 0.21; 95% CI, 0.11-0.41), the Hopkins Competency Assessment Test (LR+, 54; 95% CI, 3.5-846; LR−, 0; 95% CI, 0.0-0.52), and the Understanding Treatment Disclosure (LR+, 6.0; 95% CI, 2.1-17; LR−, 0.16; 95% CI, 0.06-0.41). The ACE was validated in the largest study; it is freely available online and includes a training module.
Conclusions Incapacity is common and often not recognized. The MMSE is useful only at extreme scores. The ACE is the best available instrument to assist physicians in making assessments of medical decision-making capacity.

Daycare costs are almost half my salary
mccooey-here's another post to get you sad. My kids go to daycare. I go to work. I need to spend a chunk of change to make sure my kids get quality care. I really enjoy my career and the people who work for me. My career is part of who I am and played a part in the family planning decisions. If I left to decide to stay home, I would not be able to get the same position back in the future. Sure the company I work for may not miss me, but all my employees sure would. These are people I care about. .
I will never complain about the cost of childcare. They are doing the most important job by helping teach and develop my children. Does it sting to write the check? Yep, just a little. But the rest of my income is paying down our mortgage quicker, supplementing our Roth IRAs (I don't want to work forever), contributing for college funds, and giving us the wiggle room of not being stressed living paycheck to paycheck.
I was very anti daycare centers. Until I was watching Nancy Grace while pregnant with my ODD, and they showed a clip of a nanny flinging the 8 month baby across a room. The parents caught it on a nanny cam. I almost threw up. That changed it. I feel more comforatble with a public cneter where everything is out in the open and lots of people around-people that genuinely enjoy my children.
I didn't mean to imply someone who sends their kid to daycare isn't raising them, but you are putting your trust in someone else for 8+ hours a day to be sure your child is being looked after, being a good person, and so on.
I too had a career that if and when I go back I will likely not be able to stay in the same position, but I looked at the bigger picture and said who cares!
Yeah daycare for infants especially can be quite expensive. It's understandable. Infants need a lot of personal care--4:1 ratios are as high as most places allow and many require 3:1 or even 2:1. So it's going to be pricey. You want the people who care for your kids to be well-paid.
As others have said, you should do what feels right to you. If you can afford to stay home and that's what feels right, then definitely do it. For me daycare is not about allowing me to work for the money. I consider myself lucky in that I can afford to keep my job, which I absolutely love, while having someone caring look after my baby during the day. We are very happy so far with the center we have found. Others would consider themselves lucky to be able to stay home. I just consider myself lucky to be able to work.
I agree that at this age daycare is not really a benefit in the way it is when they get a little older. But in general I am a huge fan of daycare centers, assuming they are run well and provide a safe, clean and nurturing environment. I won't go into all the reasons, but for me daycare is totally the right call for my kids even if it's expensive.

In Ohio, our taxes are through the roof. My parents pay more in annual taxes than my siblings school tuition. I chose a church based daycare that costs $163/week or almost $700/month. I applied for assistance because there's no way I could work to afford that and still pass my classes. It really does suck. It's outrageous.
and she loved a little boy very, very much - even more than she loved herself. <3
I live in the country and daycare is $110 per child, however I am blessed to have a lady that I know to take care of my children and she only charges $100 a week :) But if I had to pay for actual daycare it would equal half of my salery and I'm a teacher!

Married 3 years to my best friend and love of my life :)
Does it bother me that someone else watches my kids for 9 hours a day? Not at all. I take them to an in-home daycare. I love the lady who watches them. She loves my boys. My boys love her and the other children.
When I get home with my kids, we play, read, cook, bathe, read, cuddle. We have plenty of great time together. My house might be a mess, my lawn needs to be mowed, and my meals are not gourmet....but my kids and I have fun together. My ODS tells me all the fun things he did during the day and I am grateful for the experiences he has there.
I will never have a fancy career. So when I was working (we tried it with our ODD) from the cost of daycare, gas, food, wear and tear on our cars I hardly brought home enough to cover our grocery costs. The huge kicker was our sweet loving happy girl wasn't happy. She was cranky and tired. She has always needed a lot of sleep and she wasn't getting it in daycare. We only tried when she was older as before that I couldn't bear to part with her incase she did something for the first time. I couldn't bear to think some stranger heard her first word, first steps, etc. When she got past a lot of that and I tried working it just wasn't for us. I was tempted lately to go back to work part time in the evenings, but DH does some freelance work and we never know when that is. He can make more in an hour what I could in a night and you add in that we would have to get someone to watch the two kids... wasn't worth it for us now either. So I look after the kids and try to be the good housewife of cooking and cleaning, etc. When I need help DH is right there. Works for us. Look at your daycare costs, all the extra gas, wear and tear on your car and even that you'll be eating out with people from work and see if the numbers crunch. If I had a career I would hire a nanny if I was going to be working and had more than two kids as the costs are better... but I only had jobs. Have you looked to see if you r DH makes less and get him to stay at home or work opposite shifts or just on the weekends?
Does this make me less of a mother? Please feel free to bash me however you see fit. I love my job and do not want to stay home with my kids all day, everyday.

A vigil was held this morning outside the Mexican Consulate in downtown Montreal on Peel Street for the two Canadian women, including a Montrealer, being detained in Mexico following a Molotov cocktail attack on a government building earlier this week.
About 80 people crowded outside the entrance of the office tower housing the consulate, carrying a huge banner proclaiming solidarity with Montrealer Fallon Rouiller Poisson and co-detainee Amélie Pelletier. They chanted slogans demanding the women's release and a political statement was read aloud denouncing the Mexican government. The two have been held since Janauary 5.
"Since this day, it has been impossible to establish direct contact with these comrades and their detention conditions are unclear," longtime political activist Jaggi Singh read from a statement criticizing the Mexican government as "repressive and authoritarian."
The Canadian Press interviewed Poisson's mother who says she doesn't know what's going on with her 20-year-old daughter and is very concerned about how she's doing.
No one was injured in the Molotov cocktail attack which damaged vehicles at car dealership near the government office. Mexican officials say one of the Canadians was seen getting rid of a backpack containing homemade explosive devices.
Foreign Affairs officials are investigating.
"The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development is aware of two Canadian citizens currently detained in Mexico. Canadian officials are in contact with local authorities," spokesman Mathieu Roy said in an email to CJAD 800 News.

Two similar pieces are getting a lot of play this week: James Whittaker's blog post about why he left Google and Greg Smith's op-ed about why he left Goldman Sachs. Both
talk of their high level of company loyalty and enthusiasm in the past.
Both bemoan the changes in their respective corporate cultures that led
them to leave. Neither seems all that hopeful about his company's
future.What neither of them does, however, is demonstrate that
the problem is that Google/Goldman Sachs used to care about more than
just making money but doesn't anymore.

I'm running ragged trying to get everything together for this one-day conference for Soul Survivor called ENGAGE with David Ruis.
The biggest challenge has been the Soliton Interactive Arts Room we're (that means "I am") building in the large fellowship hall at St. James.
Tomorrow I'll lead a small army of volunteers to set up cardboard walls, lay down drop cloths, set up tables, art supplies, paints, paper, etc. for one giant arts interactive experience on Saturday.
I'm a little bummed out that my buddy Scott Laumann won't be able to join us for ENGAGE. I do have Karen Schmidt (an amazing sculpture artist), and Heather Wright (an amazing painter) for the workshop on arts and justice.
David Ruis is ready to go. We should have the lights, sound, video projector, etc. ready to go in time also.
Plus, we've got the NOISE service projects from 2pm to 4pm. This has been a little challenging, but I've reduced the number of projects from five to four, and one of the projects has two sponsors/partners helping out, another has one partner and a very capable team leader (Carrie Yarborough), and actually all of our team leaders are excellent...so that should be fine.
I'm trying not to stress about the things I can't control. I'll do the best I can do and let God handle everything else.
I'm going to feel soooo good after this is all over.
Wish you could all join me for ENGAGE!

Not to worry KG - even if it's below what your expectations envision Saturday to be, it will be really awesome and I think a good number of people will get a change of heart and will start to reach out more to people in our community.

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
We got another groupie tale in and this one is a little more recent. I've heard a lot of Trey stories....and I'll just leave that right there :)
Disclaimer: Groupie Tales are submitted by our readers. We can not confirm 100% accuracy of any story posted.
Hello, I have a great tale of me and Trey Songz about 3 weeks ago at Club Perfections here in New York.
Well to begin, I didn't want to go to the strip club that night, because I knew they were having a party for Tahiry, and she's pretty frequent to me so I was going to just stay home and drink with friends. Well a stripper friend of mine, texted and told me Trey and some other people were coming by the club, and they were just told that from the owner's and staff. Well, I got up and got dressed because OF COURSE, if Trey is in the building... I want some of that. I got to the club around 1am. He was there with a bunch of women and ass surrounding him of course. I walked by him, and like a dog he sniffed and was on me. He had his bodyguard get my attention. We talked a bit, I felt him up, he did the same, and he asked me to come "CHILL" with him that night. Im not dumb, I knew what that meant. So I did. In the car while all his people were there he tried to put his hand up my dress. I let him rub on me a little, but then he tried to full on finger me with others there!!! I pushed his hand away at that point. We got to the hotel, and he asked if I wanted a drink. I replied yes. We had some small talk, and he literally cut me off and said was I ready to get f*****..
He's so VULGAR and I loved it. Ladies!!! When I tell you, the man f**** you like he's making love to a woman he has been with for years!!! OMG!!! His d*** was huge, long, and succulent! He love's head, and hitting it from the back. He did Everything you can imagine to me that night. Long Strokes, Eating my nana, finger's in places I never tried before. He is rough, and loves to talk s*** while f******. Very kinky like that. And he even ran my bath water for me. He is wonderful. Oh and I spent the night. I got up the next morning early because I had some things to do, so did he. We exchanged number's. Hopefully when he comes back to NY he will get at me. I need that again. And soon. His body, tongue, lips, hands EVERYTHING is amazing on him.

boooo she's wack!! she left all the good details out!!
Trey is quick to eat the coochie ain't he?
Why all his groupie tales sound like it written by the same person and it's always praising his skills. IJS lol
I've heard a few stories from women who have claimed to have had relations with Trey...all of them say good things. Well, except one who claims he be blowing up her phone *girl bye* LOL
Eh, this sounds too generic to be true.
I believe it.....all the tales I've heard say he's the bomb.....so cheers to him, lol
LOL @ Miss Good.
i know quite a few ladies who have met and experienced trey songz, but i dont get the fascination. to me, he looking like an adorable boy...not a fine, sexy grown azz man.

Sacramento quintet Cake remains a dependable and entertaining purveyor of incisive and clever country-flavored rock, and even exhibits healthy signs of growth, which suggests a career beyond what many expected was a one-hit episode.
Their lineup may have changed a bit since their most recent Southland visit at the Palace last summer, but Sacramento quintet Cake remains a dependable and entertaining purveyor of incisive and clever country-flavored rock, and even exhibits healthy signs of growth, which suggests a career beyond what many expected was a one-hit episode.
At the first of two sold-out nights at the Troubadour, songs from Cake's amusing new Capricorn/Mercury album "Prolonging the Magic" took center stage and built on the group's knack for blending disparate musical styles and contrasting emotional themes.
"As soon as you're born, you start dying," sang casual frontman John McCrea during adventure-seeking "Sheep Go to Heaven" — the first of the evening's new tunes that followed a four-song opening salvo of older material — offering insight into the creative impulses that drive this happily eccentric band.
Sporting his usual fishing hat, sunglasses and goatee, and playing an old acoustic guitar that was held together by pieces of electrical tape, the genial McCrea performed as if he and the audience were in on the same joke, or had been dumped by the same woman, or as if everyone in the crowded room was as suspicious of the world and put upon as he.
His bandmates smoothly slid from one mood or style to another over the 16 songs. The bass player and drummer dropped into many a steady, midtempo funk grooves, while utility player Vince Di Fiore, whose main role was that of Ranchero-inspired trumpet player, added spice by also performing on a variety of keyboards and percussion instruments.
Tasty leads and chords from new guitarist Xan McCurdy gave the program a sharp edge, while pedal steel guitar from guest Greg Vincent during the plaintive "Mexico" drove home Cake's love for traditional country music.
Other highlights of the 90-minute concert included a reworked version of the band's current single "Never There," sans the sound effects of the album version, the consumerism-mocking "Italian Leather Sofa," and during the encore, an extended take on fan fave "Jolene," from the group's 1994 debut.
The '96 radio hit "The Distance," which McCrea referred to as a "sad song," was hampered by sound problems that left Di Frio's significant synthesizer part all but out of the mix until the end of the song.

That being said the Wings have one period to score at least two goals, which is certainly well within their means. It also means they need to get off their asses defensively and stop playing like s***.
Yeah it sounds like a lot of bandwagoners, if the Pens win this one it is a best 2 of 3 with the potential deciding game in Detroit. That being said a longer series favors the Pens legs IMO. Staal's shorty turned that period around. Sid may have awaken. Lots of time left.

AUBURN, Alabama – No, Gene
Chizik didn't name a starting quarterback after Wednesday's practice, but he'll have one before the Tigers head to Saturday's game at Ole Miss.
The candidates: Kiehl Frazier and Clint Moseley.
"We're going to look at film tonight and we'll make the decision. It won't be game time, but we haven't made a decision yet," he says in this video.
Chizik said the quarterbacks are handling the situation well.
"I don't think there's any question that they're both focused, they're both into it, both into the plan – so is Jonathan Wallace. It's been really Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday three good days of practice."
Jonathan Wallace is the Wildcat quarterback, but not a contender for the starting job.
"Jonathan's a little bit different and more in his role as we've said. He's taken reps in that role and he's improved," Chizik said.
There's more in the video – like how Wednesday's practice went well, praise for Ole Miss and other topics of the day. Also, backup offensive lineman Christain Westerman won't dress because of an injury.

I was really disappointed. I've been looking for answers to resolve this concern as well as on how to switch off its screen. How can I switch it off if I don't want to use the phone? With this, I can save from charging it for how many hours. Also, I'm planning to try firmware updates. Do you have any idea? I would appreciate it if you can share your views with me.

Comments Thread For: Afolabi To Return in December, THen Huck Trilogy

What Do You Do With Old Family History Magazines?
A little while ago, one of our Twitter followers, @kinfolknews, asked the following questions:
What do you do with "old" #genealogy magazines? I was going to throw mine away... got a better idea?
I thought this was a really good question so pushed it out to the MyHeritage Twitter feed to see what answers you had for @kinfolknews's question.
Almost immediately we had two responses
@quentaris said "Donate to family history groups"
@dgdillman said "Recycle, at the very least. Donate to a historical or genealogy society preferably."
Both noble ideas and very valid suggestions.
On top of that, while at the Sydney History and genealogy Expo recently, I saw old magazines being sold for 40c each - so in the process of recycling you might even be able to set up a little stall and make some of your money back.
Do you have old family history magazines and, if so, what do you do with them?

The Autism Puzzle: Connecting the Dots between Environmental Toxins and Rising Autism Rates
Brita Belli
Paperback edition features a foreword by Caroline Cox, Research Director from the Center for Environmental Health, and a new preface updating the first edition.
With 1 in 88 American children now affected by autism, The Autism Puzzle is the first book to move beyond the distractions of the vaccine debate to address compelling new evidence that autism may be the result of the pairing of environmental exposures with genetic susceptibilities that together impact the brain development of children.
Journalist Brita Belli brings us into the lives of three families with autistic children, each with different ideas about autism, as she explores the possible causes. She interprets for readers compelling evidence that environmental toxins—including common exposures from chemicals mounting in our everyday lives—may be sparking this disorder in vulnerable children. Belli calls for an end to the use of materials like toxic flame retardants used in electronics and furniture, which have been banned elsewhere, that are hazardous, insisting that we cannot afford to experiment with our children. The Autism Puzzle puts a human face on the families caught in between the debates, and offers a refreshingly balanced perspective.
"Given that autism rates in the U.S. have reached 1 in 110 children, Belli's exploration of the correlation between environmental toxins and this difficult genetic condition couldn't be timelier. . . . Lamenting the 'the enormous difficulty of passing any meaningful comprehensive reform,' and backed up with plenty of research, the author suggests ways in which individuals might reduce their daily chemical exposure—from going organic, avoiding foods packaged in plastic, and eliminating chemical cleaners from one's household. Grounded in anecdote and reliant on the facts, Belli's study is readable and very informative."—Publishers Weekly
"The Autism Puzzle unlocks many alarming truths about this worldwide epidemic and raises the deeper question: What are you going to do about it?"—Dr. Bob Sears, author of The Autism Book
"This book is essential to awaken parents about the relationship between environmental toxins and autism. If you have a kid, you are thinking of having one, or know anyone who has kids, you should read this book! But more importantly, you should give a copy to your pediatrician. This book is a very important one, spread the word!"—Alejandro Junger, M.D., author of best-selling Clean: The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body's Natural Ability to Heal Itself
"In order to truly understand the struggles of Autism, we need to start looking at the root, which is exactly what The Autism Puzzle does. This book is critical to the health professional, parent, or interested party, who is interested to look more deeply into the causes of the staggering autism rate among our children. I highly recommend this book."—Anni Daulter, author of The Organic Family Cookbook, Organically Raised, and Sacred Pregnancy

Step into the hive this Saturday and be prepared for a swarm of visual delight: a collection of sculpture and textiles honoring the bee colony. "H.I.V.E. Honey Involves Venomous Entities," an exhibition of work by Haiku resident Esmeralda Padilla, will open with a reception at 7 p.m. at Paia Tattoo Parlor Gallery, one of Maui's up-and-coming art hot spots.
Padilla's body of work is inspired by cohabitation with bees and the urge to explore how they live, their anatomy and the challenges they face. Integrating the history of bees and quilting in Hawaii, both arriving in the islands in the late 1800s, Padilla examines how they have adapted to play an important role in Hawaiian culture, ecosystem, agriculture and how each has a strong dependence on a female work force, according to a gallery release. Through the utilization of sewing and quilting, a medium long considered women's craft with a history of community building, the matriarchal society is represented.
Padilla is a San Francisco native whose art practice is based in sculpture, puppetry, textiles and animation.

Willow B. Norris' "Butterfly Dream VII (Kwan Yin)"
Paia Tattoo Parlor is located upstairs at 120 Hana Highway. For details, visit paiatattooparlor. com or call 579-8515.
Embark on a journey of enchantment with Maui artist Willow B. Norris. Her paintings, inspired by themes of reflection and inner piece, span whimsical and spiritual subjects. As the featured artist at Maui Hands in Paia, 84 Hana Highway, Norris will appear at the gallery from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturdays this month.
Drawing from her experience with aquatinting, scraping and burnishing, and incorporating the use of fine pigmented wax, Norris' creations have their roots in drawing. Norris, whose love for drawing can be traced to a young age, renders a detailed illustration on high-quality archival watercolor paper. She then applies a variety of water-soluble lightfast pigments with sable-hair watercolor brushes. The process requires a slow buildup of up to 20 washes, achieving the bold, rich color evident in her pieces.
Since moving to Maui, she has been developing her Dragonfly Dream and Butterfly Dream series, which is now on display at Maui Hands galleries in Paia and Lahaina. For details, visit maui hands.com.
Participate in the weaving of community and culture with Mavis Muller, public art facilitator and sculptor, at the Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center.

The daily creation, from 11 to 5 p.m. through Saturday, allows people free participation and no time commitments. The woven sculpture will be unveiled with a reception from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Muller will also offer a free presentation, "Public Art as a Healing Force," at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the Hui. The sculpture will be transported to Camp Keanae for the fourth annual Source Interactive Art Festival from Feb. 18 to 21. It will "meet its fiery conclusion as part of the events closing the ceremony" on Feb. 20. For details on the events, visit mavismullerart.com or huinoeau.com.

As part of the University's Summer of Sustainability, we are having a Truckee River Cleanup at Rock Park in Sparks. Our partner in this event, Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful, will be providing the tools and the training.
A few things to note:
1. Water will be provided, but bring a water bottle.
2. Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.
3. Bring sunscreen, and a hat is recommended.
4. Bring work gloves if you have them.


text: I'm not expecting that at all, mainly the chat rooms would only be accessable by those people who are old enough to know about the dangers of the internet, so most young children would not be allowed access at all. I dont even see them doing so anyway. Besides, the main function of it would be to get some quick help on a game or if your having Wii problems, you could get them solved there. How money kids are going to go to a chat room to get help with their Wii? Most likely none, they would probably go to their parents if it wasnt functioning properly.

Alex took me through what proved to be a more than difficult post divorce custody litigation. She was knowledgeable, supportive and more importantly tenacious. She kept expectations reasonable, information was plentiful as were the potential options available. As a single father, Alex understood the complexities of our case and was able to secure a favorable outcome for my daughter and me.
Posted by Sarah
Alexandra was very proffesional, and had the ability to make you feel comfortable even in very uncomfortable situations. She was very knowledgable about the law and the everchanging statutes, and if she did not have an answer she would find it. I would recommend her to anyone who needed a lawyer in her specialty. Alexandra, is very compassionate about her job, and it shows. She helped me and my family in such a way, that if I had another attorney, I do not believe the out come of my case would have been what it was. Our final court date was one to cheer about, and most people can't say that. Our family got everything we asked for and then some. Thank you to Alex, and all of her partners and peers. Thank you for everything!
Posted by Kurt
I have been very impressed with Alex - her knowledge of the system and her involvement in my case has been beyond my expectations. In a dificult and emotionally charged case she has made me feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. I have tried 2 attorneys prior and I am glad Alex is the one representing me.

Charges dropped for man who 'shouted homophobic abuse' at gay council leader
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
So he lied about his choice of words, pretending he was reasonable about things…I feel sorry for his child having such a stupid dad.
Sounds like this comment was more ignorant than homophobic. Peter Burne's comment is pathetic and he should know better. Hate crime? Not really. Pathetic? Yes, Very!
Of course it is a hate crime.
Had he been black or followed a dogma it would have been a very different story.
Wake up people we are attacked from many different sides and the rest allow it to happen.
Guess I don't take offence that easily from a narrow-minded man like this. Its pure ignorance. He clearly has no idea what he's talking about hence the remark. If it had been foul language and threats then yes I would class it as homophobia but was just a pathetic comment from a little man who should be more excepting esp with a child in tow. To show these silly little anger made statements are anything more than ignorance is daft. Lets not make ourselves victims to the point no-one takes us seriously.
'Mr Purcell, how can you make such important decisions regarding my family when you practise an alternative lifestyle?'.
easy, as your lot seem to make decisions on our "life style" all the time. Regardless to what we want.
Couldn't agree more dave
Perhaps Purcell should have replied, "It is precisely because I practise an alternative life-style, that I am better equipped to judge what is in the long-term interests of ALL children, instead of being biased in favour of the fruits of my loins."
…..Absolutely pathetic.
What the f*ck has his sexuality got to do with school closures? Two local schools were closed near me recently, but I didn't feel the need to accuse the council leader of doing that because she's straight/female/Asian/ over 40 etc etc.
"I went over and tapped his window and said, 'Mr Purcell, how can you make such important decisions regarding my family when you practise an alternative lifestyle?'.
So is Purcell's sexual orientation a "lifestyle"? When did he get to choose it, which is what that word suggests? By the same token, I don't think its right that my tax pounds contribute to the education system that his children and other breeders of his ilk enjoy at my expense while I don't even get the right to marry by choice, but banned from it.
when I lived in Glasgow I had knifes pulled no me, was threatened with violence on a daily basis and was frequently threatened with rape. The police refused to act on any of the allegations.
When I WAS raped they took over a week to interview the rapist and refused to submit the file for review by the fiscal.
One little comment made to a Councilor and the guy's locked up overnight. I wish they treated all Queers in the city with such respect.
Insread of closing the school perhaps pete burne should be returned to the school himself so that his obviously flawed education can be completed. As for calling him a liar I thimk quite a few "straight" men are after all the difference between a gay man and a straight man is about a half pint of beer

Students in Cherie Godwin's chemistry class paid more attention last year, and Godwin credits an influx of new technology for capturing her teenagers' attention.
The West Ashley High School teacher had a Smartboard and projector, a document camera that enlarges items or images so the entire class can see them and an interactive system that gives students remotes and enables them to interact with Smartboards from their desks.
"They fight over going to the (Smart)board," she said. "They want to be able to play with it. They're totally involved in every lesson."
The equipment in Godwin's room soon will be standard for every Charleston County classroom. Every district teacher will have a wall-mounted Smartboard and projector in their classroom by October 2010.
The technology upgrades are part of a $42.5 million, five-year plan to modernize the district's classrooms in an effort to boost student achievement.
The school board approved the funding in last year's capital projects budget, and officials have spent the past year analyzing equipment needs and researching options. They now have started buying Smartboards and projectors, and some students will see the new technology in their classrooms this fall.
"We've been doing so much planning," said Beth
Lovett, a district education technology specialist. "We kind of had to go slow in the beginning before we could go fast. It's such a big investment. We wanted to make sure we had the right products in Charleston County."
Within five years, every classroom will have new laptops for the teacher, document cameras, two student computers and the interactive remote system. The board approved additional funding to equip classrooms with sound enhancement technology that ensures all its sound sources are integrated and controlled so every student can hear the lesson, regardless of where he is seated.
"With the rapid advances of technology, we're going to continue to assess what is out there and available and modify our standards to meet whatever happens to be the best for us at the time," said Mike Bobby, the district's chief financial officer. "The bottom line is improved instructional delivery resulting in higher levels of student achievement. End of story. That's why we're doing this."
This is the first time the district has taken a system-wide approach in buying technology for schools. Until now, individual schools were responsible for buying equipment, which means a school's technology depended on how much money parents could raise or whether the school could win a grant.
Smartboards are becoming commonplace in Lowcountry classrooms. Suburban Dorchester District 2 schools have Smartboards in elementary, middle and high school classrooms that can support the technology, and Berkeley County has Smartboards in most every classroom, too.
Charleston school officials decided that the first 10 schools to receive Smartboards would be the same ones receiving students from shuttered schools. The four technology or communications-themed schools — Chicora Elementary, Laing Middle, West Ashley Middle and Garrett Academy — will be the next to receive the equipment, and the district held a lottery with high-poverty schools receiving a 2 to 1 weighting to determine the order of the remaining schools. Smartboards are being installed in new district buildings before they open to students.
District leaders plan to evaluate schools that already have Smartboards and determine whether that technology meets the district standard. If it doesn't, those schools will receive new equipment. The district also is working to obtain grants that would enable schools that already have this technology to be the first to pilot other new technology. Lovett said that represents an opportunity for the school to recoup the money raised or invested by parents or grants.
Officials want to ensure that teachers who have the new equipment know how to use it to create engaging lessons, so they are offering training courses. A pool of 45 teachers received 45 hours of training last year, and they will be a good resource for helping the rest of the district's 3,500 teachers become comfortable with the new equipment, Lovett said. The district eventually plans to create a database of student-centered lessons to be used with the Smartboards.
Godwin has taken so many classes that she's qualified to train other teachers. Having a Smartboard, document camera and interactive remote system in her room and knowing how to use them has changed the way she teaches. Although she still lectures, she said, she tries to make her lessons more hands-on for students. The interactive remote system gives her immediate feedback on whether students are understanding certain concepts, and that's made it easier to know when to go back and review material, she said.
Goodwin Elementary teacher Sherrill Kirkland began using the new technology this past year, too, and now she feels as if she can't live without a Smartboard in her classroom. It's kept her more focused on her lessons and ensured that she hit important points with the class, she said.
She said she hates seeing Smartboards used as glorified white boards and hopes that teachers take advantage of the available training so that their lessons are interactive.
At Midland Park Elementary in North Charleston, Principal Robert Candillo has been setting aside money to enhance his school's technology. A little more than half of his school's classes had Smartboards this past year, and third- through fifth-grade teachers also had interactive remote systems.
His enthusiasm for the new equipment is palpable as he excitedly describes its benefits, such as the way it brings lessons to life and enables teachers to make better decisions about their instruction. He sees more student engagement in classes where teachers had daily access to the equipment, and he thinks it will help students be better prepared for the future.
"I think this is one of the best things we have looked at in the county in a long time," he said.
