Motor: Nighttime World 3
- Artists Robert Hood
- Release Date 2012-09-17
- Labels Music Man Records
- Catalog MMCD038D
- Description "Approaching the derelict shell of downtown Detroit, we see full-grown trees sprouting from the tops of deserted skyscrapers. Our excitement at driving into what feels like a man-made hurricane Katrina is matched only by sheer disbelief that what was once the fourth-largest city in the US could actually be in the process of disappearing from the face of the earth. The statistics are staggering - 40sq miles of the 139sq mile inner city have already been reclaimed by nature." Julien Temple, Film MakerFollowing recent Music Man albums from Petar Dundov 'Ideas From The Pond' and Marcel Dettmann's 'Conducted' mix we now welcome one of Detroit's finest, Robert Hood.With 'Motor: Nighttime World 3' Robert Hood returns to the project he first started on Austria's Cheap label back in 1995 and subsequently continued in 2000 on M-Plant. Fusing his trademark minimal techno into jazz inspired moods and inflections, Hood emerges from the smoke-lit shadows of a downbeat, but not beaten, Motor City metropolis. Inspired by Julien Temple's documentary 'Requiem For Detroit?' Robert Hood examines the life, history and future of Detroit's motor industry and its workforce, set against a backdrop of decay, despair, hope and re-birth.Julien Temple's film is a vivid evocation of an apocalyptic vision: a slow-motion Katrina that has had many more victims. Detroit was once America's fourth largest city. Built by the car for the car, with its groundbreaking suburbs, freeways and shopping centres, it was the embodiment of the American dream. But its intense race riots brought the army into the city. With violent union struggles against the fierce resistance of Henry Ford and the Big Three, it was also the scene of American nightmares."The situation in Detroit is making people uncomfortable but that's a good thing if we look at it in the right perspective. It's a shaking up and realisation of the condition that Detroit has been in for so long. As it was a long and slow process people became immune to what was happening, almost asleep at the wheel. This once progressive city is now half gone. To make a new future, Detroit needs to look deep within to be able to see a new vision and thrive once more. As long as there is a seed, there is hope." Robert Hood.Now it is truly a dystopic post-industrial city, in which 40 per cent of the land in the centre is returning to prairie. Greenery grows up through abandoned office blocks, houses and collapsing car plants, and swallows up street lights. There is no more rush hour on what were the first freeways in America. Crime, vandalism, arson and dog fighting are the main activities in once the largest building in North America. But it's also a source of hope.Streets are being turned to art. Farming is coming back to the centre of the city. Young people are flocking to help. The burgeoning urban agricultural movement is the fastest growing movement in the US. Detroit leads the way again but in a very different direction.With the breakdown of 20th-century civilisation, many Detroiters have discovered an exhilarating sense of starting over, building together a new cross-racial community sense of doing things, discarding the bankrupt rules of the past and taking direct control of their own lives. Still at the forefront of the American Dream, Detroit is fast becoming the first "post-American" city. And amid the ruins of the Motor City it is possible to find a first pioneer's map to the post-industrial future that awaits us all.So perhaps Detroit can avoid the fate of the lost cities of ancient civilisations and rise again like the phoenix that sits, appropriately, on its municipal crest.

Simple Tips For When Your Child Enters the Bilingual Rebellion StageAna Flores
So you've committed to the decision to pass on your native language to your child. You have your ideal method and family plan all figured out.
You read to her in Spanish when she was in the womb and inundated the house with the sounds of Juanes and Celia Cruz.
You sang to her the nanas and canciones de cuna your mamá and papá sang to you.
You talked to her non stop in Spanish; all the time, all day to make sure she knew it.
And then her first words start coming out: Mamá. Papá. Agua. Hola. Bebé.
You're ecstatic. She's speaking español!
And then words start becoming sentences and more and more of those words start turning into English, and slowly she stops responding to you in Spanish.
Do you panic? Did she lose her Spanish because of the all English daycare? Did she watch Diego and Dora one too many times in English? Did she not have enough Spanish-speaking friends?
No need to panic. You did it all right. This is actually a very natural progression of her language acquisition where she is choosing which language to use at which time. She's also demonstrating a grasp of both languages from the brain of a true bilingual.
Excellent, but you really do want her to respond to you in Spanish because that was the end goal. Right?
If you find yourself in this situation, do not worry! It's not impossible to reverse.
So, what to do if your child refuses to answer you in Spanish or whichever other minority language you use?
Here's what helped me get through this stage a few years ago and that really worked:
- I realized I needed to be careful not to turn speaking Spanish into a mandate, but rather something she wanted to do. I had to make it so much a part of her life that she, all on her own, would not let go of it.
- My husband and I spoke, and still do, to my daughter only in Spanish at home. All the time. No exceptions.
- When she did reply in English, I would rephrase what she said in Spanish and encourage her to repeat it.
- I read to her a lot more and in Spanish. She was getting plenty of exposure to English language books at preschool during those days, and we had to make sure she got more in Spanish.
- I made it a point to hang out more with our Spanish-speaking amigos which we have plenty of, but who live all over the Greater L.A. area
- We Skyped a lot more frequently with her tía, prima and abuelita in El Salvador and family in Mexico. She adores her cousins and they've spent quality time together both in El Salvador and Mexico over the years. Every time I tell her "Si no hablas español, no vas a poder platicar con tu prima," ("If you don't speak Spanish, you won't be able to talk to your cousin.") she immediately switches to Spanish. That's my Ace right there.
- We made the drastic decision to move neighborhoods so she could attend one of the few dual language immersion schools we had as an option. Just that allowed me to relax knowing that at least half of her day is in Spanish no matter what we do.
- Travel to Mexico and El Salvador more often! I am lucky that I've carved out a life where I can take my laptop with me anywhere and work from there. It does have its implications, but it's worth it.
Now it's your turn. What is your plan of action for when your child enters the bilingual rebellion stage? Write it down and share with me below or on the SpanglishBaby Facebook page. What's important is that you keep it as a reference and reminder for when you need it so you will be able to respond clearly and affirmatively.

Olympic officials have played down the significance of an email that triggered security fears ahead of the Winter Games in Sochi.
Several Olympic bodies — including the United States and Britain — revealed on Wednesday that they have received an email that the International Olympic Committee has confirmed contains "one person's opinion about security and terrorism."
MORE: Worried? NHL players Crosby, Pacioretty dismissive of threat
The IOC insisted that the "random message" lacks creditability as the countdown continues to the Games in Russia, which get under way on Feb. 6.
Security is heightened and fears are cited because of recent terrorist activity in Russia and threats regarding the Games.
MORE: 'Black widow' suspects | Four ... or more? | Putin's pledge | U.S. concern
An IOC representative told Perform: "The IOC takes security very seriously and passes on any credible information to the relevant security services.
"However, in this case it seems like the email sent to a number of NOCs (national Olympic committees) contains no threat and appears to be a random message from a member of the public.
"Also please allow us to say that it would be wrong to describe this as a "threat ". The email is one person's opinion about security and terrorism. It is not a threat from a terrorist."
MORE: Would rescue be possible? | Lindsey Vonn: no go | Protest zones | Video
Darryl Seibel, director of communications at the British Olympic Association, admitted that Team GB was sent the email, but is not overly concerned by the nature of its content.
"We have received what appears to be an email similar to that which other Olympic associations have received," Seibel told Sky Sports News.
"The IOC have responded to that today, and in their view this is not credible. It appears to be non-specific and random in nature.
"This is not impacting our preparation for the Games.
"All of us are paying greater attention to the subject of security in light of the events we have seen in recent weeks.
"But since the time that Russia was awarded the games seven years ago, the organizers and the IOC have indicated that security would be one of their top priorities.
"Everything we have seen confirms that."

Album Review
A four-CD, 80-song box set that, in line with similar Smithsonian productions, outlines the history of blues spanning over 50 years, with cuts by major performers who represent its stylistic evolution. The set is stuffed with classics by the likes of
Muddy Waters
Louis Jordan
T-Bone Walker
, Little Walter,
Big Mama Thornton
Howlin' Wolf
Elmore James
B.B. King
, and
Buddy Guy
, with plenty of slightly lesser-known artists like Lil' Son Jackson,
Billy Branch
Big Maybelle
J.B. Lenoir
Doctor Clayton
, and
Junior Kimbrough
. The selections are a tad conservative (if very good), and it's likely that serious blues fans will have a good share of the tracks in their collections already. The set also concentrates much more heavily on 1940-1970 material (which takes up about 75 percent of the contents) than blues from the 25 years from 1970 onward. If your interest falls somewhere between casual fan and dedicated collector, though, it's a good survey of major blues performers and genres, with an excellent historical overview and notes about each performer in the accompanying 92-page booklet.

Leek and Potato soup…a welcome winter warmer
I've always had a soft spot for Leek and Potato soup. I remember in my high school cafeteria on days when I did not bring my own bag lunch from home, I would cross my fingers and hope that the dinner ladies has made their lovely home made version of this winter classic.
Made with simple ingredients that don't tax the budget, especially in these economic times and now in the aftermath of the holiday season, it fits the winter bill perfectly. Nutritious, satisfying, easy to make it has always been in the repertoire of soups that I make throughout the winter. I hope that this version will become a favourite of yours as well.

Opening Friday, the Gibbes Museum of Art, 135 Meeting St., will have two special exhibitions.
First up, Sound and Vision: Monumental Rock and Roll Photography.
This exhibition will feature a collection of photographs of iconic rock n roll, blues and hip-hop musicians taken by famous contemporary photographers in the past five decades.
This exhibition presents 40 stunning large-scale prints of many of the most notable musicians, songwriters and performers of the last half of the 20th century, said Marla Loftus, director of communications. Taken by 20 of the most accomplished photographers of the genre, these photographs in many ways define the way we look at the musical artists who created rock n roll.
Starting with photographs of influential blues musicians and early innovators such as Elvis Presley, through the British Invasion, protest music and the psychedelic 60s, soul music, metal, glam rock, reggae, punk, grunge and ending with hip-hop recording artists such as Tupac Shakur and Jay-Z, Sound and Vision: Monumental Rock and Roll Photography explores the dynamic connection between the power of music and photography.
These works will be in the Main Gallery.
In the Rotunda Gallery, there will be a collection of works by Willard Hirsch, who has been dubbed as Charlestons premier sculptor of the 20th century.
Youve likely seen his works throughout Charleston without even knowing they were created by him. He has some bronze sculptures in Washington Square, White Point Garden, the Gibbes Museum garden and Charles Towne Landing.
The exhibit will include more than 50 years of work by this Charleston native and World War II vet.
During the exhibition, the Gibbes will distribute a guide of Hirschs sculptures on view throughout Charleston. An accompanying cellphone audio tour will also be produced so that art lovers can tour Hirschs work inside and outside of the museum, Loftus said.
There will be numerous accompanying lectures and various other events associated with both of these exhibits over the next couple of months. Contact the Gibbes at 722-2706 or www.gibbes museum.org.
Transitions Art Show
Phillip Hyman is at it again with his Eyeball Art Shows, the next of which will be at 8 p.m. Sunday at The Meeting Space on East Montague Avenue in North Charleston.
The show will feature artwork from Tony Prete, Chrystal King, Nina Regro, Meta Sapient, Christina Regro and Hyman.
There will also be jazz fusion music from Wawona and Circus McGurkis, Turkish dance by Karen Inella, medieval music by James Carrier and Geoffrey Cormier, and Wayang Modern Shadow Puppet Theatre.
Email email@example.com or call Hyman at 345-3670.
We all know the story of the magic lamp, the genie and, of course, Aladdin and Yasmine.
Watch as this delightful childrens story comes to life, performed by the Sprouts Musical Theatre team at Creative Spark starting Friday.

The performance of Aladdin is just under one hour, and tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door. Purchase tickets by calling 881-3780 or online at www.creativespark.org.
Show times are 7 p.m. Friday, 1 p.m. Saturday and Sept. 29, 3 p.m. Sunday and Sept. 30, and 6 p.m. Sept. 28.
Creative Spark is at 757 Long Point Road in Mount Pleasant.
The 39 Steps
Devious spies ... fast trains ... deadly screams ... sheep?
If youre familiar with the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock film The 39 Steps, you will recognize the characters, the plot and even the dialogue in the Flowertown Players stage production, said Kathy Keber of the Flowertown Players.
If youre not familiar and see the name Hitchcock, dont assume that this is a scary piece, as its more humorous than anything else.
Keber gives us a brief snapshot of the plot:
The show begins with a company of actors assembling the set with anything and everything left on the stage of an old theater house. As the plot unfolds, we meet our young and handsome hero, Richard Hannay, who becomes entangled in a devious plot to smuggle vital British military secrets out of the country.
After being falsely accused of murder, Hannay goes on the run across Europe to protect the safety of this secret from an espionage organization called The 39 Steps.
The show will be performed at the historic James F. Dean Theatre at 133 S. Main Street in Summerville at 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday with matinee shows at 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
The show again will be performed at 8 p.m. Sept. 27-29 with matinee shows at 2 p.m. Sept. 29-30.
Tickets are $25. Purchase in person, by calling 875-9251 or online at www. flowertownplayers.org.

Sky lantern starts brush fire
Investigators in San Luis Obispo County say a brushfire in the Pirates Cove area near Avila Beach was caused by a so-called sky lantern.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says Monday's fire was held to a quarter-acre.
Sky lanterns are essentially miniature hot air balloons that use a candle or fuel cell to heat the air inside the lantern so that it will fly.
This week's fire occurred in the same area where last summer a sky lantern caused a fire that destroyed a radio antenna and cell phone towers. The county Board of Supervisors recently passed an ordinance prohibiting lighting and launching of sky lanterns.
Sky lanterns are also known as Chinese lanterns and are sometimes marketed for use in parties and celebrations.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Tens of thousands of Israelis from all over the country gathered in Tel Aviv's Rabin Square on Thursday evening calling for an end to all rocket fire on southern Israel.
The rally took place as a shaky ceasefire, which halted the month-long fighting between Hamas and Israel, seemed to be holding on Friday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told regional council heads from the south that even a "drizzle" of rockets from Gaza was too much.
"Our policy is clear and consistent -- even to a drizzle we [will] respond forcefully," Netanyahu said. "We launched this campaign to strengthen the security of all Israeli citizens in general and yours in particular."
During the IDF's Operation Protective Edge, Hamas launched rockets that hit deeper into Israel than ever before, including Tel Aviv and further north, as well as the Jerusalem area, putting some three-quarters of the Israeli population under threat from rocket fire.
Ironically, it had the effect of uniting the country and solidifying support for residents of the south like never before.
Many Israelis now want to see their government to do what it takes to put a permanent end to Hamas attacks from Gaza, which have plagued more than a million Israelis for 14 years.
At the Tel Aviv rally, signs read "Even one rocket is too many," and called for Israel to "Conquer Gaza now."
Many teenagers who have grown up running for shelter when they hear the Color Red siren attended the rally. Some are calling them the "Kassam generation" -- after the rockets.

"LCHC will use the March of Dimes grant as seed money to meet our objective of providing mothers and babies with on-site and off-island prenatal care," said Diana Shaw, executive director.

You know the old saying, "if only these walls can talk"? Well, now they can! Give your walls something to say with these Oversized Decorative Letters. Made with a selection of scrapbook papers, these decorative letters are a fun and thrifty way to decorate every room in your home, from your kitchen to your bedroom.
- Paper mache letters
- Scrapbook pages
- Paint
- Elmer's spray adhesive
- Exacto knife
Paint the edges of the letters. No need to paint the front of the letters since you will be covering it with paper.
Turn your scrapbook paper face side down and place the letter on top of it. Trace the letter on the back side of the scrapbook paper.
Cut out the letters with scissor and use an exacto knife for the inside of letters like the letter "P". Now you have a scrapbook page that is the exact size and shape of your letters.
After the paint has dried on the edges of the letters, spray elmer's spray adhesive on the face of the letters, then place your scrapbook paper on top of the letter. It will fit perfectly since you traced it to line up with the letters.

I have a 2000 OBW, 2.5L-5MT, approx. 180k km. Recently it's been exhibiting some wierd jerking and hesitation behaviour. It seems to occur mainly under slow acceleration or cruise control mode. If I'm slowing down, a slow steady release of the throttle would at some point produce a hesitating jerk. When accelerating, if I'm accelerating slowly, it would also jerk. If I'm giving it some heavy gas, then there would be no problem.
It also happens while in cruise mode. It seems that slight changes in throttle position create disproportionately large acceleration or deceleration. What could be the cause of this, throttle position sensor, fuel, spark, etc.?

Curious, did some numbnuts recently change your timing belt? Tensioner?
I had these symptoms and over teh course of 9 months having gone through changing plug wires, cam sensors, crank sensors, o2 sensors, having the head rebuilt and the problem persisted.
Turned out to correlate back to a timing belt change with a new subaru tensioner, and the belt jumping one tooth intermittently.
Getting any check engine lights/codes? In my case the subtle annoying crap yer talking about happened for a long long time before the car would finally throw a code, usually misfire on a cylinder or 4, or something pionting to crank or cam sensors. All leading one on a wild goose chase.

No, I haven't had any numbnuts changing my timing belt yet. :-)
However, now that you mention timing belt, I remember I was told by some techs at Mr. Lube, where I get my oil changed that they noticed that the timing belt was getting frayed. I normally don't trust them with anything other than oil changes, so I semi-ignored them.
No, there's no check engine warning yet.

They couldn't find anything wrong with the drive belts, and the timing belts were never exposed.
Actually, I decided to take the car into the dealer finally, and the day I took it in, the check engine light finally came on.
The dealer did some diagnostics and they are certain that the problem originates with throttle position sensor on the throttle body. This one is going to expensive, they are talking about $1300 for the part!

sounds like a problem with the ignition system. I would start by looking at spark plug wires, then plugs themselves, then the ignition coils. If those are all good, then check the timing belt.
If all that is good, then start looking at the gas system like the fuel pump/filter though its a bit soon for that.
All of the sparkplug wires were changed a little over a year ago, when I noticed a hesitancy early in the morning when first starting the car up. Turned out that there were holes in the wire which were causing short circuits when early morning moisture coated them. However, the timing belt might be something to look into, as I was told during a recent oil change that the belts were getting frayed.

How well does it shift, or is this a manual?
I would look at fuel before timing to be honest. especially since it is not a continuous problem. Does the car run any hotter?
Also, what plugs were put in a year ago. If they were Bosch Platinums, pull them out and throw them as far as you can. Put in the recommended NGK or Nippondenso plugs. I have had that kind of trouble with just about every set of Bosch platinums I've ever run across.
Hmmm, the Bosch plugs my father installed in his 71 Nissan Patrol, when his car was relatively new, had the same problems. German tradition keeps up, ;)

It is a manual, and it shifts horribly. That is one of the reasons I noticed this problem. I'd often get a hesitation when starting off slowly in 1st gear, but it would be fine if I floored it.
The car isn't running any hotter, the temperature needle has remained at its normal position throughout.
The dealer has told me the problem lies in a throttle position sensor inside the throttle body. Seems to be a rare problem, as they had to wait over a week to get the part in.

I would treat that information with a pinch of salt The timing belt is enclosed and there is no way of seeing "that the belts were getting frayed" without removing the covers. There is no need to remove those covers when changing the oil.

I assumed he meant the belts he could see were worn. But true enough my visible belts were work and I replaced them all. Then I opened up my timing belt cover and that belt was fine..
Bugalugs wrote:
Yeah, I found that out in a short enough time. When I took it back to the place that said the belts looked frayed, they told me that the timing belts are actually inside the engine and not exposed, so they were probably only talking about the drive belts which run the alternator and AC, etc. They also took another look at those belts and said that this time they couldn't see any problem with those belts! Well, that closed that avenue of investigation.

I had similar problems with 94 Legacy and turned out to be a small pinhole burned into one of the spark plug insulator boots. Good luck.

This is why I hang on to my old timing light. You can put the light on each wire as close to the plug as possible, and look at the flashes and see if there are any misses. Lets you know the cables are bad right away.
Of course it wouldn't catch a boot problem.
Try disconnecting your front O2 sensor and taking it for a test drive. Power will be down but if it's now smooth, replace the sensor. It's a common failure item on these cars.

I've been waiting over one week for them to ship the part into the dealership. Interestingly, during that time, I've been driving the car and the problem has been gradually going away all by itself. So I called the dealer today, and asked if it's still necessary to get it replaced? And he said he's absolutely certain that the part is going to fail again. This dealer has been relatively reliable for me, so I'm inclined to believe them, but crap, $1300 for a sensor problem?!?

The Outside-Inside Strategy on Syria
On the surface, the upcoming Geneva II peace talks between President Bashar al-Assad's regime and the Syrian opposition seem dead on arrival, if they even happen at all. The Syrian opposition, already deeply fractured, is now in violent internal conflict between the al Qaeda-affiliated Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), the Saudi-backed Islamic Front, and the ideologically neutral Free Syrian Army (FSA). The Syrian National Coalition, the primary political wing of the opposition, is threatening to withdraw from the peace talks, which begin Wednesday, January 22, if the United Nations does not rescind its invitation for Iran to participate. All the while, Assad has announced that a negotiated end to his presidency "is not under discussion" at the talks, which calls into question what exactly the negotiating parties will be discussing and highlights just how far apart the key belligerents in the Syrian civil war are from accepting a political solution to the conflict.
The conventional wisdom is that under these circumstances, the U.S. push to build consensus and find common ground between the Assad regime and the deeply fractured opposition is deeply naïve and divorced from realities on the ground. But for all the talk about regime-opposition negotiations, the most important conversation at Geneva this week doesn't involve anyone from Syria. Instead of trying to build consensus for a political solution on Syria from the inside-out, the United States, led by Secretary of State John Kerry, appears to be trying to build consensus for a deal from the outside-in. By working out a deal between the key power brokers on Syria's future, first the United States and Russia, and then widening the circle to include critical regional players, such as Saudi Arabia and Iran, the international community can eventually force a deal on the belligerents to end the Syrian civil war.

Shipping handguns
- Only an FFL may use the US Postal Service to mail a handgun. This is federal law and not just USPS policy. However, note that C&R holders (03FFL) may not use the USPS to ship handguns although they may ship long arms through the USPS.
- Taking the gun apart and mailing the pieces does not work either, it is illegal - the receiver IS the firearm and must be shipped accordingly.
- A regular person (non-FFL holder) can send a handgun back to the manufacturer for repair and it can be sent directly back to them. Commercial carriers (e.g., FedEx and UPS) must be used and their policies followed.
- If you live in a state where guns are registered to a person, California comes to mind, the seller must follow the state as well as federal laws to sell it and ship it - usually requires involving an FFL.
- Commercial carriers, like UPS and FEDEX, will ship a handgun to an FFL from a private party but will require that it be sent overnight.
- Just as a side note, many FFLs will not accept a shipment from a non-FFL so check first before you send.
- A money saving tip: When shipping a handgun via UPS or FedEx, you might want to make the package as small as possible. A few inches less in girth, length and width can mean a big savings at the counter.

Information specific to shipping a Handgun to and/or from California (as per the CA DOJ website):
Residency Requirement: No firearms dealer may deliver a handgun unless the intended recipient presents satisfactory documentation indicating that he or she is a California resident.
Shipping Requirements: Handguns may not be sent through the U.S. Postal Service. A common or contract carrier must be used for shipment of handguns. (UPS/FEDEX)
As of January 1, 2008, both in-state and out of state Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders will be required to obtain approval (e.g., a unique verification number) from the California Department of Justice prior to shipping firearms to any California FFL (Penal Code §§ 12072).
It is unlawful for a person who is not a licensed firearms dealer pursuant to Penal Code section 12071, to sell, loan, or otherwise transfer a firearm unless the sale, loan, or transfer is completed through a licensed firearms dealer. (Penal Code §§ 12071, 12072, 12082.)

It's time for an annual Mother's Day column, one that makes you smile through your tears and remember why you wanted to be a mom in the first place.
But you're not going to get it … at least not from me.
You know why? Because my kid's going to be 20 years old in a couple of months and the only tears she elicits are the ones that come in response to the tuition bill from Auburn University.
To top that off, she is no longer here to do my bidding, like go to the grocery store when I don't feel like it, or get up and change the channel on the TV when the batteries go dead in the remote, so it can be hard to remember that whole lovey-dovey, feel-good mom thing.
Ungrateful kid. When I do get that warm feeling in my tummy these days, it usually turns out to be indigestion.
So I decided I'm going to "mother" all of you today with an advice column. Rather than distribute wisdom like "Don't go swimming for 30 minutes after you eat," or "Always wear a hat in winter," I'm going to give you some tips you can actually use.
Don't thank me. Just doin' my job.
In fact, my baby girl Shannon often complains that my job as a not-so-highly respected journalist leads me to worry about a slew of odd "what ifs" that stem from stories in the news. She rolls her eyes when I advise her to do things like keep water and peanuts in the car in case she runs off the road and is trapped for several days before rescue.
I call that being prepared but, hey, if she's not mature enough to recognize it…
Here is some advice gleaned from items in the news last week:
If your open beer falls in the river, don't drink it.
This might seem like common sense to many moms, but be sure to tell your sons … and your husband. A man in Brisbane, Australia, will require six surgeries after plucking his beer from the Brisbane River, guzzling it down and subsequently falling into a coma.
The poor guy told The Brisbane Times he is in constant pain and looks pregnant from a hernia caused by an unknown bug.
If only his mother had been around.
Don't let your second grader take a pencil to school.
In this modern world of ours, we are no longer supposed to send our children to school with a properly sharpened No. 2 pencil – at least not after an incident at a Suffolk, Va., school.
A second-grade student was suspended earlier this week after he held out his pencil and made shooting noises, according to WAVY Channel 10.
His teacher reported the incident and the boy was disciplined under the school district's "zero tolerance" policy on guns in school. The 7-year-old's father, a former Marine, said his son was pretending to be a Marine.
The school district may want to rethink this. I don't know about you, but I might feel safer with a few Marines at my kid's school.
Don't call the police to report you never received your cocaine delivery.
While this is a no-brainer for moms and also for most normal children, you might want to consider that our kids' "brains on drugs" might not be quite right.
Be sure to warn them that calling 911 to say they did not receive the $80 in marijuana and cocaine they paid for will likely lead to their arrest.
A North Carolina man should have asked his mom this week before calling police not only to complain about the lack of delivery service but to let authorities know his dealers were "selling drugs, but they're not even selling drugs. They're selling fake drugs to people, and they rip 'em off, you know what I'm saying? And the thing about it is, that's a criminal offense," according to WECT Channel 6 in Wilmington.
Well, at least he knows the law. His mom can be proud … ish.
Lastly, never, ever ignore that runny nose … it could be your brain leaking
Look, I can't make this stuff up. An Arizona man with a chronic runny nose finally went to a doctor last week to learn he was leaking brain fluid.
After weeks of taking allergy medicines and experiencing embarrassing moments when he couldn't get to tissues in time to keep his brains from hitting the sidewalk, Joe Nagy sought a specialist and learned there was a hole in the membrane that holds the brain inside our heads.
Apparently, we all have one of those.
"You don't really think about it, but our brains are really just above our noses all of the time," Dr. Peter Nakaji, a neurosurgeon at Barrow Neurological Institute, told Fox News.
Yes, Dr. Peter Nakaji, I do think about it. We moms can never find enough things to worry that might happen to our kids. Now, thanks to you, we can add leaking brains.
I guess that tuition bill doesn't look so bad, after all.
Happy Mother's Day.

DOHA: The much-awaited Hamad International Airport (HIA) with the recently adopted punch line 'Runway to the future, Gateway to the world' has many unique features and stunning facilities, which are expected to enhance Qatar's position as a truly global gateway.
The ambitious project on track for opening by the middle of the year, boasts a host of amenities, including the world's longest commercial runway at sea level, one of the world's biggest cargo facilities, one of the largest catering facilities and one of the largest integrated Airport City.
There are two driverless trains — Automated People Mover (APM) — each with five coaches to carry about 6,000 passengers per hour per direction.
A section is dedicated to transfer passengers to speed connections between sections of the terminal, with a cruising speed of 45kmph, to facilitate the 30-minute minimum connect time. The APM runs over 500m connecting the North and South Nodes of the terminal.
The airport is a world-class purpose-built aviation hub to cater to rapidly evolving aviation needs such as spa, gym, squash courts and a swimming pool as well as a transit hotel in the South Node and other facilities for the 21st century passengers.
For instance, the Airport City, spread over 10 square kilometres, where an estimated 200,000 people are expected to live and work.
Perhaps this is the first serious effort anywhere in the world that offers an interface between an international airport and the City it serves. Unlike other international airports, HIA has been positioned as an integral part of the city.
The airport, once fully operational, will receive about 50 million passengers and handle 1.4m tonnes of cargo per year through its two parallel runways, built two km apart from each other, allowing for independent, simultaneous operations.
The Eastern Runway at 4,850 metres (4.8km) is the longest commercial runway at sea level and the Western Runway is 4,250 metres (4.2km) long. Both are 60 metres wide and capable of unrestricted A-380 operations.
HIA, stretched across 29 sqkm, including the Airport City, with 60 percent of it on land reclaimed on the Arabian Gulf, includes multi-concourse Terminal 1, Emiri Terminal, a mosque, second passenger terminal, vehicle rental and car parking facilities, cargo, maintenance hangar and catering facilities.
More than 200 contractors and service contracts with over 1,000 architects, designers, consultants, engineers and project managers worked to deliver the region's newest aviation hub. The water droplet-inspired structure of the public mosque at the airport can accommodate 500 worshipers at a time, with a separate area for women.
There are nearly 7,600 parking stalls for vehicles, including 3,431 short-term and 2,479 long-term stalls.
The Emiri Terminal is architecturally reminiscent of dhow sails. The construction process required over 40 million man-hours to commission and complete the building. Facilities inside the terminal are for the use of the Emir, the Royal Family, ministers and VVIP guests.
The Aircraft Maintenance Hangars, stretching half a kilometre, include two wide span hangars for line base and heavy maintenance and are equipped for all maintenance and repair activities on aircraft, including A-380 ones. The door for the line maintenance hangar is over 220 metres long and 27 metres high, the widest free span door opening in the world.
The duty-free warehouse building, spread across 16,000 sqm, has 21 loading docks, nine landside and 12 airside.
The retail shopping area at the passenger terminal includes branded boutique shops, chocolates, cigars, tobacco, cosmetics and many other high-end luxury goods.
Spread across 69,000sqm, the Catering Facility is one of the largest in the world, with a capacity to serve over 90,000 meals per day. There are separate kitchens for food prepared according to various cultural and religious requirements.
The Baggage Handling System uses the latest technology with automatic sorting of 19,500 bags per hour. It has one of the world's largest installations of hybrid RFID systems combined with barcode scanners. The Peninsula

Hi Bob
I may have some useful information re. restless legs.
Having suffered restless leg syndrome (RLS) when trying to fall asleep–a condition that dates back thirty years–I tried many medications. The current popular RLS meds.–whose names I don't remember–did nothing to relieve restless legs and gave me a hangover.
Then, in July of 2004 I underwent a liver transplant and was prescribed Neurontin AKA Gabapentine for the nerve pain. Gabapentine worked to greatly reduce this pain and from the very first dose of 900 mg, my restless legs ceased and have never returned.
Gabapentine has no known toxicity (I think.) For me, it was my miracle med.
Presently I take 900 mg morning, noon and night. I'm not fatigued during the day as some have reported.
Also, Gabapentine is effective at allowing one to maintain a longer period of REM sleep.
Hope you have the same thumbs up experience as did I.
Sweet Dreams.

I had a lot of troubles with this one of mine, the curve kept getting puckered, I did everything that Amy said - pin centre, then pin each of the sides, then ease the curve pinning twice in the section and stitch really slowly, still puckered. Gave up in the end.
Jenny did you take little "pin bites" like she said? Where you make sure not to pin past a seam allowance' width each time (except for the sides.)Also I used a softer more pliable fabric for mine and I think it helps.
I like the subtle aqay print with the white "asterisks" or is it snowflakes? (:

There's a hashtag next to the next eight games on the University of Northern Colorado football schedule.
The players know it. Head coach Earnest Collins Jr. knows it.
It's there for a reason.
It signifies Big Sky Conference games.
Everybody starts at 0-0 starting Saturday, including the Bears' 1:35 p.m. game on Saturday against Southern Utah University at Nottingham Field.
It's like a second season, if you will.
"We've come out and practiced a lot better this week than we have," Collins said.
There's been a sense of urgency for the Bears, who have lost three straight and are 1-3 overall heading into conference play.
There's been a hitch in the team's giddy-up this week.
"My goal or question is to find out why," Collins added. "Also, I think they're tired of losing football games. It has been a better week of practice than we've had all season." After a relatively easy season-opening victory over NAIA Langston University, the Bears haven't been at their best, losing to Division II Colorado State University-Pueblo, FBS member Wyoming and last week to FCS No. 5-ranked Northern Iowa.
If there's a reset button, Collins hopes his team has found it.
However, he knows the importance of a rewind button, too.
"The kids know the importance of the nonconference games," Collins added. "Some may ask why I scheduled the nonconference teams I did, but I wanted to see where we're at."
Last week's loss to nationally-ranked Northern Iowa may be an accurate gauge of the potential the Bears have, but they know it's come time to tap it.
"Everybody gets hyped up for conference play," wideout Dimitri Stimphil explained. "The atmosphere has been a little different this week. Even the scout team has cranked it up."
In a sense, the Bears have closed the door on the last three weeks.
Southern Utah has done the same, but the Thunderbirds will no doubt be riding some momentum from their come-from-behind overtime victory over Sacramento State last week.
"They've shown they can come up with big plays when they need to," Collins said. "They were definitely resilient against Sac State."
The Thunderbirds' defense flies to the ball but also creates its share of isolation matchups, a factor UNC wide receiver Jace Davis is looking forward to.
"I haven't had much of that so far, so hopefully it'll happen on Saturday," Davis said. "We still have to execute against it."
Like Stimphil, Davis has seen a little more attention to detail in practice this week.
"Every game is important, but we're coming up on conference games," Davis said. "It's definitely a goal to get to the playoffs, so you can't do that without winning conference games.
"It seems like we're playing together a lot better this week," Davis added.
Saturday's game will be the last of four early-season games at home for the Bears, who will go on the road for two straight — Oct. 5 at Sacramento State and Oct. 12 at Idaho State — before coming back home to take on Cal-Davis.
Home or away, the Bears' toughest stretch of Big Sky Conference games may be in November when they are at home against nationally-ranked Montana State, on the road against North Dakota and Northern Arizona before finishing the regular season at home against Cal-Poly.
"I know it's a cliché, but we still need to take things one week and one game at a time," Collins said. "Whatever little extra energy we've had this week ... it has to continue."

|This article needs more medical references for verification or relies too heavily on primary sources. (June 2016)
Andropause – also colloquially known as male menopause[1] – is said to be the result of a gradual drop in testosterone, which is an androgen. The medical community is currently debating whether or not men really do go through a well-defined menopause.[1] The condition "andropause" is not recognized by the World Health Organization.
Andropause is caused by the reduction of hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in middle-aged men. Testosterone assists the male body in building protein and aids in maintaining sexual drive and stamina. Testosterone also contributes to several metabolic functions including bone formation, and liver function. Andropause is also associated with a decrease in Leydig cells.[2] A steady decline in testosterone levels with age (in both men and women) is well documented.[3]
Risk factors[edit]
External factors that can[4] cause testosterone levels to fall include certain forms of medication, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, illness, lack of sleep, lack of sex, stress, or surgery. It can also be a symptom of neuroendocrine dysfunction after mild traumatic brain injury.[5]
Internal causes[edit]
Andropause is preceded by a condition called Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.[6] A downturn in the circulation of testosterone can cause the hypothalamus and pituitary gland to trigger a release of brain hormones that stimulate the testicles to ramp up production of testosterone.[7]
Although, as men age, despite low testosterone the levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) will not rise. The luteinizing hormone, gonadotropic releasing hormone, and testosterone all are dropping below what is considered normal. Low GnRH, low LH, low testosterone indicate the syndrome of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, and it is a downward trend that takes men closer to andropause. This phenomenon typically begins in the early forties.
This shift in hormonal patterns occurs in all men at some point. The female version, a similar hormonal shift that occurs in women happens in a more narrow age grouping, from early forties to late fifties.[8]
Testosterone levels decline gradually with age. Unlike females going through menopause, the decline in testosterone in men is gradual, and there is variation among individuals.[9] Upon reaching 80 years of age, the rate of testosterone secretion has decreased about 50% for men.[9]
The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists defines hypogonadism as a testosterone level that is below the lower limit of normal for young adult control subjects[10]
Researchers conclude there is no black-and-white cutoff for "low" or "suboptimal" testosterone. Different symptoms show up at different testosterone thresholds: Muscle mass and strength do not decline until testosterone drops quite low (significantly below normal levels) whereas libido may dampen with relatively small decreases in the hormone.[11] According to Joel Finkelstein, associate director of the Bone Density Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, men's functioning is not impaired solely by a loss of testosterone, but by a loss of estrogen as well.[10]
Agreement on the threshold of testosterone values below which a man would be considered hypogonadal has not been reached. Testosterone can be measured as "free" (that is, bioavailable and unbound) or, more commonly, "total" (including the percentage that is chemically bound and unavailable). In the United States, male total testosterone levels below 300 ng/dl from a morning serum sample (most accurate measurement) are generally considered low.[12] To confirm the low levels of testosterone, doctors recommend repeating the measurement of morning total testosterone.[13]

Much of the current popular interest in the concept of andropause has been fueled by the book Male Menopause, written by Jed Diamond, a lay person.[14] According to Diamond's view, andropause is a change of life in middle-aged men, which has hormonal, physical, psychological, interpersonal, social, sexual, and spiritual aspects. Diamond claims that this change occurs in all men, may occur as early as age 45 to 50 and more dramatically after the age of 70 in some men. The term "male menopause" may be a misnomer, as unlike women, men's reproductive systems do not cease to work completely in mid-life; some men continue to father children late into their lives. But Diamond claims that, in terms of other life impacts, women's and men's experience are somewhat similar phenomena.[15][16][17]
Many clinicians believe that andropause is not a valid concept. Men can continue to reproduce into old age; their reproductive systems do not stop working in midlife, and therefore they do not exhibit the sudden and dramatic drops in hormone levels characteristic of women going through menopause.
Other clinicians have the opinion that andropause is simply synonymous with hypogonadism or unusually low testosterone levels.[17] There is opposition to the concept of andropause in Europe as well as the U.S.[18]
Some clinicians argue that many of the cited symptoms are not specific enough to warrant describing a new condition. For example, people who are overweight may be misguided into treating a new illness rather than addressing the lifestyle that led to their being overweight. Similarly, energy levels vary from person to person, and for people who are generally inactive, energy levels will automatically be lower overall.
While it is true that active and otherwise healthy men could in theory develop andropause-like symptoms, how common and widespread the phenomenon is, and whether genetics, lifestyle, environment, or a combination of factors are responsible, is not yet known.
The significance of a decrease in testosterone levels is debated and its treatment with replacement is controversial. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated in 2015 that neither the benefits nor the safety of testosterone have been established for low testosterone levels due to aging.[19][20] The FDA has required that testosterone pharmaceutical labels include warning information about the possibility of an increased risk of heart attacks and stroke.[19][20]
Adverse effects[edit]
Adverse effects of testosterone supplementation include increased cardiovascular events (including strokes and heart attacks) and deaths).[21] The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stated in 2015 that neither the benefits nor the safety of testosterone have been established for low testosterone levels due to aging.[19][20] The FDA has required that testosterone pharmaceutical labels include warning information about the possibility of an increased risk of heart attacks and stroke.[19][20]
Other significant adverse effects of testosterone supplementation include acceleration of pre-existing prostate cancer growth in individuals who have undergone androgen deprivation; increased hematocrit, which can require venipuncture in order to treat; and, exacerbation of sleep apnea.[22] Adverse effects may also include minor side-effects such as acne and oily skin, as well as, significant hair loss and/or thinning of the hair, which may be prevented with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors ordinarily used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia, such as finasteride or dutasteride.[23] Exogenous testosterone may also cause suppression of spermatogenesis, leading to, in some cases, infertility.[24] It is recommended that physicians screen for prostate cancer with a digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level before starting therapy, and monitor PSA and hematocrit levels closely during therapy.[25]
The impact of low levels of testosterone has been previously reported. In 1944, Heller and Myers identified symptoms of what they labeled the "male climacteric" including loss of libido and potency, nervousness, depression, impaired memory, the inability to concentrate, fatigue, insomnia, hot flushes, and sweating. Heller and Myers found that their subjects had lower than normal levels of testosterone, and that symptoms decreased dramatically when patients were given replacement doses of testosterone.[26]
Andropause may also be associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a 2007 study.[27]
Society and culture[edit]
The term "symptomatic late onset hypogonadism" (or "SLOH") is sometimes considered to refer to the same condition as the word "andropause".[28][29]
Some researchers prefer the term "androgen deficiency of the aging male" ("ADAM"), to more accurately reflect the fact that the loss of testosterone production is gradual and asymptotic[30] (in contrast to the more abrupt change associated with menopause.[31]) The "D" is sometimes given as "decline" instead of "deficiency". In some contexts, the term "partial androgen deficiency in aging males" ("PADAM") is used instead.[32]

Starbucks plans on raising prices on its coffee drinks starting Tuesday, according to reports from CNN Money and MarketWatch.
The cost of buying lattes and other drinks will go up from 5 cents to 20 cents per cup, according to the reports.
In one example, MarketWatch reported that a 20-ounce ("venti" sized) cup of brewed coffee will increase 10 cents or 15 cents -- depending on where you live -- to $2.35.
Will you pay more for Starbucks drinks?

Nobody likes to see prices rise. But it's really galling when prices grow and what you get in return shrinks,
Unfortunately, that's what's about to happen at Patriots Point. Ticket prices are set to go up April 1, and one of the maritime museum's three naval vessels, the Cold War submarine Clamagore, is set to go down - to the bottom of the ocean off the coast of Florida. Permanently.
The Patriots Point Development Authority voted recently to hike the $18 cost of tickets for adults to $20. Children ages 6 to 11, who now pay $11, will pay $12.
Patriots Point will become one of the most expensive tourist attractions in the Lowcountry, just shy of the South Carolina Aquarium, which charges $25 for adults and $15 for children.
Patriots Point Executive Director Mac Burdette said the price increases, expected to generate an additional $300,000 to $400,000, are necessary. Annual upkeep of the three vessels is $1 million or more, and insurance and utility costs have increased by about 17 percent in the past year. (He didn't say how much those costs would drop without the Clamagore.)
Then there are the museum's plans to spend $5 million to update the attractions with digital features. And it needs to finish paying for an ongoing $250,000 paint job and a new $200,000 wastewater system.
Patriots Point is wise to address maintenance needs and to enhance its exhibits to draw more visitors. It was because the authority failed to take care of the Laffey that it almost sank.
The cost to repair the World War II destroyer ended up at $9.2 million - which the authority had to borrow from the state and still needs to repay.
But the authority's decision to scrap the Clamagore, the last remaining sub of its class, has not yet been adequately justified.
Advocates for the Clamagore are optimistic that they can come up with $5 million necessary to repair and reposition the sub at Patriots Point or elsewhere. But they need extra time. A group of retired business executives is helping the Clamagore Restoration and Maintenance Association map out a rescue plan.
And Rep. Joe Daning, R-Berkeley, wants the Legislature to require Patriots Point to keep the submarine for a year to accommodate the fundraising attempt to save it.
Further, veteran submariners have offered to pitch in on some of the maintenance. Certainly they know their way around the sub, and the price of their help is right.
But museum officials have declined the offer, citing potential liability. Some smart lawyers might be able to recommend a legal solution. Consulting them would be worth the authority's time and effort.
Visitors are awed by the size of the aircraft carrier Yorktown, the museum's principal exhibit. They are touched by the story of the Laffey, called "the ship that would not die." And the Medal of Honor museum is inspiring and will be more so when a new facility is built.
But the authority should not underrate the appeal of the Clamagore. The Legislative Audit Council found it to be the second-most popular exhibit there - and urged its restoration. Seeing the cramped quarters where submariners spent months at a time on stealth missions astounds and impresses visitors.
The present administration cannot be blamed for many of the problems Patriots Point now must address. It is commendable that the authority has knuckled down to fix the problems they inherited - and to adopt a long-range plan.
But it is disappointing that Patriot Point is not willing to put the same kind of effort into saving the Clamagore.
Doing so would make it a lot easier for visitors to fork over the extra dollars for tickets.

Before Drayton Hall, the Lowcountry had other grand plantation homes that were cutting edge architectural statements for the New World.
If you go
What: Mackey Hill will give an updated presentation of his Archdale findings. An informal reception will follow.
When: 7 p.m. Thursday
Where: Room 309 of the Simons Center at the College of Charleston.
Cost: Free and open to the public.
One of them was Archdale Hall, which once stood across the Ashley River from Middleton Place and Magnolia plantations.
And while this home has been gone for more than a century, a victim of the 1886 earthquake, fragments of it live on.
Macky Hill, a lifelong architecture student, preservationist, Realtor and historian, has been working hard to track down these fragments and weave them into a more complete picture of a remarkable house.
"It's so different than what we thought Colonial architecture in Charleston was," he says. "It might be unique, but I doubt it."
Today, most of what survives of the house is a pile where the front stairs once were and a few other foundation fragments surrounded by North Charleston's Archdale neighborhood.
But there are also a few old photos surviving showing six views so far.
While the bulk of the home stood briefly after the earthquake, it was never repaired and collapsed within a few weeks.
"Charleston was flattened, and no one was coming out halfway to Summerville," Hill says. "Fortunately, (photographer) George Cook got out there."
Archdale Hall was the centerpiece of a plantation that had hundreds of acres on the eastern bank of the Ashley.
Hill says what makes it so interesting is that its architecture isn't the familiar Georgian-Palladian example of Drayton Hall but the earlier, English Baroque architectural style.
The style also is referred to as Queen Anne, who reigned from 1702-14 (and is totally different from the late 19th-century Queen Anne Victorian style).
"This is more of a Renaissance classicism than the disciplined Palladian classicism, which became the vogue after 1715," he says.
Its most important details were its large, elaborately carved brick cartouche above the entry and the giant Order pilasters at the corners.
"Nothing like it has been found before in colonial America," Hill says, "but chances are that if this one existed, surely others must have as well. Archdale looks like something straight out of a London suburb between 1685 and 1720, just before the Palladian Revival style swept in with the new Royal House of Hanover in 1715."
Hill isn't sure yet when the house was built, but while educated guesses place the date between 1706 and 1740, the evidence points to an early date, possibly before 1718, the year William Baker, its builder, died.
As far as its architectural importance, Hill says, "It really doesn't matter when the building was built. Just this door surround is a rarity. Gauged brickwork is a really high end, gilded master guild skill, and carved brick is higher still. There weren't many builders who could pull it off working in the Colonies, and nothing this elaborate has been found this side of the Atlantic before."
Hill is referring to one of the home's signature features: a large and elaborate carved brick crest above its front door.
He recently visited the Charleston Museum, which received a box of artifacts from Archdale in 1975.
There, Martha Zierden, director of archaeology, had searched the museum's collections, and Hill discovered pieces of carved bricks, including one with the top of an angel's wing, a design that matches up with a surviving photograph.
Since the bricks' origins are so important, the Charleston Museum is making them available for study by the scientists at Clemson University's Lasch Conservation Lab. There, materials science specialists are analyzing their composition.
"We're trying to figure out if these bricks were English made or South Carolina made," he says.
Hill isn't sure where his research will lead him next, or even when he will stop seeking answers. "There is so much we don't know that is knowable," he says. "But it's not a nice, simple, logical, sequential project. It's like a crime novel happening in four different locations and four different time periods."
With so few surviving Lowcountry buildings or ruins dating before 1740, those answers could shed new light into the early history of one of the nation's wealthiest Colonies.
Other questions include: who designed the house; what was its interior plan; and how was money made at Archdale?
Hill is getting emails from interested experts all over with suggestions and ideas, and the response motivates him to dig deeper.
"Next week," he says, "we'll know things we didn't know today."

97(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - March/April 2013
Full medium red. Great lift and sweetness to the multidimensional aromas of raspberry, white pepper, orange peel, spices and smoky minerals. An incredible stony expression of terroir, remarkably sweet and supple for a wine that already appears to be shutting down in the bottle. The penetrating flavors of raspberry, crushed stone and minerals show brilliant precision and sappiness. Finishes with serious but noble tannins and outstanding palate-staining length and thrust. This great grand cru resounds on the finish like very few Burgundies from this or any other vintage.

A person gives a dollar to the Lycoming County United Way campaign. Another person does the same. The dollars add up.
They become the fund that helps meet the needs of many people in Lycoming County.
That's the theory behind the United Way fundraising campaign that was kicked off at St. John Neumann Regional Academy Thursday.
The campaign has a very necessary goal of $1.72 million. The campaign last year raised a record $1.55 million but still fell $170,000 short of meeting the needs of United Way's program partners. So every dollars counts if the campaign is to meet great needs in Lycoming County - needs that involve the elderly and the very young, the handicapped, the disadvantaged, those struck by sudden tragedy or emergencies, those suffering from domestic abuse, those lacking in education and literacy.
These needs won't be going away anytime soon. If anything, they will become greater in a world that has grown more stressful by the day. There simply isn't the time available to create a lifestyle to meet most of these needs, even for those families with the desire and capability of meeting them. So the United Way campaign can't go away, either.
The campaign needs everyone, including those whose family economy only allows a minimal donation. Those minimal donations add up and are the heart and soul of the campaign.
Consider this our first plea for you to consider some donation to the United Way campaign.
