Strolling through a supermarket in December with rows of fresh tomatoes and strawberries for sale may seem like a utopian dream for those who like to eat fresh, healthy foods.
But enjoying that cornucopia of fresh food year round may cost more than the price tag suggests.
Authors Alisa Smith and J.B. MacKinnon would argue that the cost is exacted from the world's environment and a region's traditional way of life.
'100-mile' Tips
Grow your own
Plant seeds after the last frost-free date -- May 16 -- or purchase seedling plants from a local nursery, greenhouse or gardening store. If you're trying for a local diet, your own yard, balcony or window ledge is as local as it gets.
Can it
Harvested food must be
preserved or prepared for storage through the winter -- regular household practices just a couple of generations back. To learn how, check out traditional preservation techniques are outlined in cookbooks or on the Internet.
Rediscover your roots
Vegetables can be kept edible through the winter in a root cellar or similar storage space. Traditionally, a root cellar is a hole dug in the ground or a structure covered with turf that includes shelves and a vent. The vegetables require cool, humid air and space for air to circulate between them, so a basement can work too. Apartment dwellers can use empty chest of drawers or bins in a dark clothes closet to preserve onions, potatoes and apples.
On the Web
The National Center for Home Food Preservation features a comprehensive instruction guide on canning, drying, freezing and pickling food items:

Smith and MacKinnon, a young couple living in urban Vancouver, British Columbia, began thinking about these hidden costs when they discovered an ``ugly statistic'' about North American food.
The statistic? Researchers at Iowa State University reported the food we eat travels an average of 1,500 to 3,000 miles from the farm to our dinner plates.
That's a lot of petroleum expended for fruits and veggies that are likely available within mere miles of home.
The couple became obsessed with the wastefulness that statistic represented, and came up with a unique challenge to themselves to do something to change it.
In their memoir, ``Plenty,'' Smith and MacKinnon take turns telling the story of their ``100-Mile Diet.'' For one year, they would eat only foods that came from within a hundred miles of their home.
Local `pioneers'
They learned how to cook and eat unfamiliar vegetables, such as turnips, celery root and sunchokes, which are a vegetable-like cross between artichoke and potato. Instead of feasting on pizza and Count Chocula from March to October, salads were made from the plants growing in their city neighborhood.
``We felt like pioneers setting foot on a strange place called home,'' MacKinnon writes.
No more Florida citrus for them, they said in an interview via e-mail. Their local option is ``spruce-ade,'' they said. ``Think lemonade ... but with Sitka spruce needles.''
Another exciting new local discovery: homegrown British Columbia wasabi.
But the authors conclude it's not necessary to take on such a daunting dietary change.
There are less intimidating ways to begin giving your dinner plate a local focus. On their Web site, www.100milediet.org, the authors join forces with local-food groups forming around the U.S. and Canada to post tips on gradually incorporating local foods into consumers' regular eating habits.
Southwest Michigan residents also have special opportunities to add more flexibility into their local-food diets. Several companies manufacture food and drink in the area, including Bell's Brewery and Aunt Millie's Bakeries in Kalamazoo, Freestone Pickle Company in Bangor, Honee Bear Canning and Welch's in Lawton, and Kellogg's in Battle Creek. Many stores in the area feature locally produced foods.
Community connections
It's not about food alone. The 100-Mile Diet results in more than a change of menu, the authors said. As MacKinnon and Smith journeyed to experimental farms, farmers' markets and local fisheries, their yearlong experiment put them in touch with members of the community they otherwise would not have met.
``Visiting the farmers' markets is practically sacred to us now,'' they wrote. ``It's a way to tap into the season and we rarely come home without something new to try.
``A lot of people these days have their own accountant or their own hairdresser. We have our own beekeeper and our own fisherman. These relationships to the real people who produce our food are one of the biggest reasons we keep eating locally.''
In southwestern Michigan, there is an unique opportunity for strengthening local connections between food producers and consumers. The region already boasts a strong agricultural economy with a wealth of farms and farmers' markets.
And about our long, cold winters? The authors of ``Plenty'' recommend turning activities like canning, pickling and freezing big batches of food into a family activity or a party.
``The work goes faster and doesn't feel like work. Harvest time is a reminder that we live off the earth, something most of us forget for most or all of the year,'' they write.
Adhering to the 100-mile diet is a relatively easy -- and delicious -- way to reduce global fuel reduction, the authors concluded.
MacKinnon said in his email: ``Food is such an intimate part of life, yet has been rendered so incredibly sterile, that it is coming up for some profound questioning right now.''
One-half ``Fast Food Nation'' and one-half ``Walden,'' ``Plenty'' is a humorous and inspiring story that will make readers contemplate their place in their local economy -- and global environment.

In an attempt to create a shot opportunity for a teammate, New Orleans Hornets point guard Greivis Vasquez tried to force his way through two defenders but couldn't hold onto the ball, leading to a turnover Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets. It has been an all-too-familiar occurrence this season for the Hornets to mishandle the ball or make an errant throw that results in turnovers.
Nothing changed in the Hornets' 97-90 loss to Houston Rockets in front of 9,278 at the New Orleans Arena. The Hornets (3-4) committed a preseason-high 26 turnovers and Vasquez finished with a team-high eight, despite scoring 13 points and distributing 11 assists.
"It's no excuse for us not to execute,'' Vasquez said. "We're going through preseason, but we have to learn fast. I put a lot of pressure on myself, but I've got to get better. A lot of the turnovers I got was me trying to find Anthony Davis. It's not his fault, it's mine. I got to know his tendencies, and I think it will get better as the season goes along.''
Vasquez turned the ball over four times in the opening nine minutes of the game.
He threw passes to teammates when they were in a crowd of Rockets defenders. And he drove several times only to be stripped of the ball near the lane.
"We have to take care of the ball,'' Hornets Coach Monty Williams said. "I don't think we have ever had this many turnovers (26) since I've been here. That's a high number. Our guard play has to increase.''
With the regular-season opener against the San Antonio Spurs just a week away, the Hornets are still showing signs they are a work in progress with eight new players.
Despite forward Ryan Anderson scoring a game-high 23 points and Davis having another efficient performance with 13 points and eight rebounds, the Hornets lost their fourth consecutive preseason game after opening with three straight wins.
"We put our hands up for shots and they just made them,'' said Davis, who has scored in double figures in four of five preseason games. "We're just going to come back tomorrow and work at it.''
It was their second loss to Houston, which included a s 95-75 defeat at the Toyota Center on Oct. 12. New Orleans struggled after halftime Wednesday night much the same as it did in their earlier game against the Rockets. After trailing 45-43 at halftime, the Rockets opened the third quarter on a 17-4 run and built a 17-point lead.
In the Oct. 12 game, the Rockets outscored the Hornets 22-10 in the third quarter. In the rematch game, Anderson carried the Hornets in the fourth quarter when he made five-of-seven shots for 12 points, but the closest New Orleans could get was trimming Houston's lead to seven.
"It's still preseason and we're still fighting and trying to learn the system,'' Anderson said. "We just have to keep practicing hard.''
Hornets rookie guard Austin Rivers missed his first preseason game after suffering a sprained right ankle in Monday night's loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Although an MRI test administered Tuesday revealed no structural damage, Rivers is likely to miss Friday night's preseason finale against the defending champion Miami Heat.
Starting shooting guard Eric Gordon missed his seventh consecutive game with a sore right knee and forward Jason Smith has missed all but the opening preseason game against the Orlando Magic because of a sore back and strained left shoulder.
With Rivers out, Hornets rookie Darius Miller earned his first start at shooting guard and scored eight points in 23 minutes. He had three steals and only one turnover.
"I think it's just a matter of us learning the system,'' Miller said. "We just have to work on executing. We've struggled with it pretty much the whole preseason, but it's something we'll fix. It's something that we have to work.''
Although the Rockets have 12 new players, they have won four of their six preseason games. They had little trouble pushing the pace against the Hornets after struggling in the first quarter when they scored 16 points. Rookie forward Terrence Jones, who won a national championship with Davis and Miller at Kentucky last season, scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
"I thought Terrence did some good stuff,'' Rockets Coach Kevin McHale said. "He went and got four offensive rebounds, which I was happy about.''
Here is the boxscore from Wednesday's game.

WEST WINDSOR — There are those who know how to win, and those who do not.
West Windsor-Plainsboro's Jake Nieschmidt all but willed his team to a 6-5 win over North Hamilton Sunday in a Mercer County American Legion League game at WW-P South High School.
Meanwhile, North Hamilton failed to cover first base on a grounder that would have been the final out of the second inning but instead led to three runs, had what looked like the tying run taken off the board in the fifth inning and botched a squeeze play with the bases loaded in the seventh.
"Poor baseball, we're playing poor baseball," manager Steve Krecicki said as his team dropped to 1-3. "I'm not a negative person, but we gave this one away."
And WW-P (1-1), which was coming off an opening-loss to Hightstown, was happy to take it, thanks to the effort of Nieschmidt, who simply gutted it out over seven innings.
"I hadn't pitched in a long time, not since the finals of the Mercer County Tournament (which WW-P South won)," Nieschmidt said. "It was tough at first to get back in the swing of things."
North Hamilton got to Nieschmidt for two unearned runs in the first, but WW-P answered with three in the first and three more in the second in what should have been an easy inning for losing pitcher Stef Nyktas (0-2).
With two outs and a runner on first, Patrick Tso hit a slow grounder towards first.
Stephen Agoglia fielded in cleanly but had no one to toss it to, and the speedy Tso beat it out to put two runners on base.
Three straight hits later, and it was 6-2. North Hamilton got it to 6-4 in the third and to 6-5 in the fifth when another gaffe cost it a run.
With one run already in and the tying run on third, R.J. Komet, who did a great job in relief for North Hamilton, hit a flyball to left. Agoglia tagged and scored to make it appear to be a 6-6 game, but WW-P appealed, and it was ruled the runner left early.
It was also right around that point that it appeared Nieschmidt's tank was on empty. Manager Don Hutchinson had action in bullpen but never went there.
"He came out to talk to me, just to ask me how I was feeling," Nieschmidt said. "I told him I was fine. I was going to get through this."
Nieschmidt worked a 1-2-3 sixth to keep his team ahead by one and then faced all kinds of trouble in the seventh. An infield hit, a line drive single to left and a bloop to short center loaded the bases with no outs for North Hamilton.
"I wasn't worried," Nieschmidt said. "Even if they did score, I think we would have come back and scored again."
That's how winners think. It never came to that. Nieschmidt got Agoglia, who was 3-for-3 to that point, on a third strike.
With Ryan Hunter at the plate and the count 1-1, Krecicki then called for his signature play, the squeeze. Hunter squared but then pulled back, and Rich Knappenberger was out at the plate.
"That was a strange play," Nieschmidt said. "Was it a squeeze or were they trying to steal home? I was confused."
Not as much as North Hamilton, which didn't advance its runners from first or second and saw them stranded when Nieschmidt struck out Hunter for the final out.
"We're a young team," Nieschmidt said. "I don't even know all these guys yet, but I think we're going to be all right."
• NOTES: Designated hitter Ryan Strype had three hits and two RBIs for WW-P, which also took on Princeton later in the day ... Looking for a bright spot for North Hamilton? Look no further than centerfielder Riley Schmitt, who had three hits, scored three runs and is an early leader for the league's Rookie of the Year award.

Ewing 3, Hightstown 2
EWING — Ewing Post 314 got a walk-off victory over Hightstown Post 148 after Lou Madrigal drove in Justin Dempsey with a single. Evan Patrick went the distance for the win, allowing two unearned runs on two hits with three walks and five strikeouts. Dempsey and Billy Epps had two hits. Tristan Ryan drove in runs.

The RSPB's Wallasea Wild Coast project has reached an important milestone, with the completion of the operation to ship tunnelling spoils from the London Crossrail project into the site.
Crossrail has been the amazing project to create a new, largely underground, railway across London, the largest civil engineering challenge in Europe, with a cost of over £15 billion. At Wallasea a new ship unloading pontoon was installed and since August 2012 some 2.9 million tonnes of clay and other tunnelling materials have been imported into Wallasea Island, being carried round from R. Thames in a fleet of seagoing ships. Each ship carries over 2,000 tonnes of material, and there have been up to six ships engaged in this trade at a time.
The tunnelling under the centre of London has been an incredibly complex operation, working in some places extremely close to existing buildings and threading its way through the network of existing underground railway and other tunnels. However the work has gone very quickly and with few problems, so that the major 'civils' are now substantially complete. The ships are presently clearing the remaining stockpiles of material at the wharves at Northfleet Kent and Barking Creek. There will be comparatively small amounts to deliver in early 2015 while the work goes on to install railway and signalling systems and finish the huge station caverns which have been excavated.
The Wallasea Wild Coast Project was designed to create a major new wetland habitat for migrating waterbirds and wildfowl, the largest of its kind in Europe. The previously low lying island is being reshaped by the import of material before the sea walls will be breached to allow the R. Roach to flow into and out of the island. This work is being carried out in a phased way, the island being divided into five 'cells', each providing varying conditions and habitats carefully designed for different birds and creatures. The project was designed so that Crossrail would provide sufficient material for 'Cell 1' – the largest of the cells which is towards the eastern end of the island. There will eventually be six deliberate breaches of the seawall, of which the first three will be into 'Cell 1'. Breaching of the seawall is obviously the last major item of work for the completion of each cell, and the breaches into 'Cell 1' were originally planned to take place in 2016, but Crossrail's tunnelling work has gone so smoothly and quickly that the breaching into 'Cell I' has been brought forward, the intention now being to breach the seawalls in July 2015.
Although the complex tunnelling work went very smoothly, problems were encountered at first in being able to transport the heavy and sticky London Clay along the conveyors into Wallasea Island. While work was done to modify the hoppers and conveyors some material had to be disposed of elsewhere so that the huge tunnelling machines were not held up. That has meant that the design of 'Cell 1' has had to be modified to use slightly less material, and some material has had to be taken from 'Cell 5' in order to complete 'Cell 1'.
It was always known that Crossrail would not provide enough material to complete the Wallasea Wild Coast Project, and that other sources of material would have to be found. The RSPB now needs to identify sources for about 4 million tonnes more of suitable material. Possible sources include the Thames Tideway Tunnel (the major tunnelling project to capture all of the storm overflows from the many sewage works in Central London), and the groundworks for the possible 'Sizewell C' atomic power station on the Suffolk coast. It may be also that 'HS2' – the government's promised High Speed rail line from London to the North might generate large quantities of material which need to be disposed of for re-use in a project which will generate massive environmental benefit. Other possibilities might include major port dredging projects. At present however no definite source has been identified.
The original planning consent for the Wallasea Project was for completion by 2019, and the unloading jetty in the River was to have been removed by then. That planning consent has now been extended to 2025. It is likely that when Crossrail's material is finally expended the unloading pontoon may be 'mothballed' until another major capital engineering project comes on-stream needing to take advantage of the unused capacity in Wallasea Island. With the notable exception of the problems getting the sticky clay along the conveyors, which have largely been overcome, the Wallasea Shipping operation has worked very smoothly, with not a single marine problem or incident throughout, and because of the patience and tolerance of other river users there has been a minimum of disruption or inconvenience to leisure boating activity. Wallasea has been demonstrated to be a project that really works and we firmly believe that it is not a question 'If' the Wild Coast Project will be completed, – merely a question 'When?'

Judge Rohrer to run for superior court
Judge Erik Rohrer
Forks-based Clallam County District Court II Judge Erik Rohrer announced his candidacy for superior court judge on Thursday, March 22.
Rohrer is in his third term as District Court II judge and presides at the Clallam County courtroom located inside Forks City Hall.
Rohrer's announcement comes a day after Clallam County Superior Court Judge Ken Williams announced he will not seek re-election in the upcoming fall general election set for Nov. 6. Williams is in his fifth term as an elected judge in Clallam County. His salary is $148,000 a year.
The Clallam County Elections' Division filing week for the superior court position is May 14-18.
Rohrer said of his candidacy for the seat Williams is vacating: "With over 25 years as an attorney and a decade as an elected judge in this county, I am well-qualified to be a superior court judge. I have extensive experience in superior court—both as an attorney and as a superior court commissioner. I look forward to continuing to serve the citizens of Clallam County as a superior court judge."
Rohrer, who was born and raised in Washington state, lives in the West End with his wife Cari, who is a teacher at Forks Middle School.
He holds an undergraduate degree from Western Washington University and graduated with a law degree from Willamette University College of Law.
Rohrer has served as a lawyer both in private practice and in the public sector, litigating both criminal and civil matters.
He has practiced law in Seattle, Wenatchee and Port Angeles and has tried cases in courtrooms throughout the state.
In 1991 he was hired in 1991 as an assistant attorney general by former Attorney General Ken Eikenberry. Rohrer then moved to Port Angeles to help establish the first local Attorney General's office, serving as lead attorney and manager of that office for ten years. He was then appointed to the Clallam County District Court II position previously held by current Supreme Court Justice Susan Owens.
Rohrer is active in community affairs on the West End, including the Forks Chamber of Commerce and the Forks Hospital Foundation.
In addition he is currently serving as past-president and board member of the Peninsula College Board of Trustees, chair-elect of the bipartisan Washington State Office of Civil Legal Aid Oversight Committee and board member of the Peninsula Trails Coalition. He has previously been president of the boards of several other organizations.

P-20 Executive Council
A Collaborative Partnership with Public Schools to Support our Teacher Preparation Programs
The P-20 Purpose
In spring 2010 a group of education faculty met with Dr. Janet Wilson, Assistant Superintendent of the Allegany County Public Schools (ACPS) to explore strategies for collaborative participation in events that are mutually beneficial to both organizations as we work together to prepare effective teachers. This marked the beginning of the P-20 Executive Council, an education body that developed into a collaborative partnership among Frostburg State University (FSU), PK-12 area Schools, and Allegany College of Maryland (ACM) to support our common efforts towards strengthening our education programs for the preparation of new teachers and the professional development of current practitioners. Furthermore, the P-20 Executive Council serves as the informational platform to share and discuss issues & trends relevant to current reform initiatives and their impact on our teacher preparation programs.
The P-20 Council's Agenda
The P-20 Council agenda is fluid and it is dictated by the issues and tasks that need to be addressed and completed by its members. For example, the P-20 Council's current agenda focuses on the Common Core State Standards, the work that the schools are doing to facilitate transition and implementation, and its implications in our teacher preparation programs. The P-20 Council organized and conducted Forums on this topic at different occasions for FSU Students and Faculty. In order to efficiently accomplish these different tasks, the P-20 Council organized "Focus Groups" specific for each task. These focus groups are co-coordinated by one member from ACPS, and one member from FSU.
P-20 Focus Groups
Each focus group is co-coordinated by a member from ACPS and a member from FSU, and its membership will be determined by specific agenda topics including representatives from the member institutions: PK-12 Central Office personnel, PK-12 school principals, PK-12 school teachers and supervisors, and Higher Education faculty.
According to the topics identified by the current Agenda, the P-20 Council has identified the following focus groups:

Reading Phillies to change name after 46 years
After 46 years with the same identity, the Reading Phillies have announced that it will officially change its name.
In a press release, team officials announced that the team will completely re-brand itself with a new name, logos, and new jerseys. The Philadelphia Phillies Double-A affiliate will show off its new look at a press conference on November 17 at First Energy Stadium.
"Since 1967, the Reading Phillies have been proud affiliates of the Philadelphia Phillies," said Reading General Manager Scott Hunsicker. "Our relationship is the longest affiliation in the minor leagues and there has never been a better time to be a Phillies affiliate. Considering the heritage and fun nature of Baseballtown, our entire front office is extremely anxious to unveil and share our new name with everyone on November 17th."
Officials for the team say the Reading Phillies name will have one last hurrah. A "Final March of the Reading Phillies" parade will be held the morning of the name change. The parade will lead right to FirstEnergy Stadium for the name change announcement that afternoon.

Mr. Blake Krikorian is a well-known Silicon Valley entrepreneur so when he leaves the Amazon Board you got to assume something is wrong for this tech savvy exec to leave.
He was a video and media distribution expert in his company, Sling Media, and was such for AMZN.
EchoStar Communications a competitor of Amazon, picked up Mr. Krikorian and unless there is a nondisclosure agreement signed ( even if there is ) the variety of projects and the various work in progress will become knowledge to EchoStar. Amazon surly could have used Krikorian as it tries to enter the media distribution space more aggressively.
He worked on the Kindle tablet for example and the rumored Amazon interactive television device, and AMZN'S new I-phone clone start up, in which he being a mechanical engineer most assuredly had a hand in. SOMETHING WENT WRONG.
Or maybe he just didn't get along with the other eight-person board?
In any case red flags are flying everywhere!
Red flags flying high.

Rory McIlroy made headlines before the start of the Ryder Cup for taking a shot at the world's most famous golfer, Tiger Woods.
McIlroy told the BBC that he would love to face Tiger in the event, unless Woods somehow dramatically improves his game and that everyone on the team would love to face him at the event.
The news got back to Tiger, who when told about McIlroy's desire to play him, told the media "me too."
With that in mind, here are five reasons in which Tiger will rise up and crush McIlroy and help the US to victory and five reasons why McIlroy and company will get the best of Woods once again.

The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house at Tulane University, site of a 2008 hazing event so notorious that the organization lost its charter and 10 members faced felony charges, has been demolished.
The multistory brick building, which used to stand at Broadway and Zimpel Street, was razed last week. It will be replaced by a campus police substation.
Tulane spokesman Mike Strecker said construction of the station is expected to start late this year. The work is being delayed because Tulane is looking for a new police superintendent and will want to get input from that individual, Strecker said.
Tulane acquired the property after the chapter was deactivated.
The university paid for the razing, which came slightly more than three years after the fraternity's "Hell Night, " when pledges were forced to strip to their shorts and shoes and sit on the floor while 10 fraternity members doused them with boiling water and pelted them with items that would intensify the heat, such as cayenne pepper, vinegar and crab boil.
Two pledges suffered second- and third-degree burns, according to a New Orleans Police Department investigation.
Tulane suspended the fraternity, and the national headquarters revoked its charter. Shortly after the incident, the Sewerage & Water Board cut off service to the empty building because of delinquent payments.
The 10 members were booked with aggravated second-degree battery, which carries a maximum penalty upon conviction of 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fire.
In October 2008, the Orleans Parish district attorney's office dismissed the charges without comment.
The fraternity was probably best known to the general public for a red 1928 American LaFrance fire engine that the chapter bought in the 1970s and parked in the front yard for years until members gave it to the New Orleans Fire Department.
Having a fire engine in the front yard was a fraternity tradition that no one could explain.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Club du Lac Tanganyika Bujumbura
This hotel is very nice but outside the gate is a very poor unsafe street. It was hard to take in the hotel and know how poor the rest of Burundi is. The beds are good and firm, the food was tasty and the breakfast was a very large buffet.

Women have been active scientists and technicians for as long as humans have recorded names. There have even been times and places where scholarly women were accepted and respected - places like early Sumer in the Middle East and times like the European Dark Ages and early Middle Ages. For the past 1000 years women have been equal before the university doors in Italy. By comparison, the late twentieth century in the United States presents a difficult challenge to its technical women. These women rarely achieve the same respect and power that the technical men do, perhaps because the women are now numerous enough to threaten the economic power base of the American man of science. A look at the contributions of some technical women of the past may help the people of the present appreciate the gifts today's women have for the future.

Which is safer, a cigarette with 15 milligrams of tar, or one with just 9 milligrams?
How about a smoke with a mere 5 milligrams of tar?
No, steer clear of that one, too.
Since 1966, the federal government has been sanctioning a method for determining the levels of tar and nicotine in cigarettes, and tobacco companies have been using the government-backed numbers to tout particular brands as "light" or "low-tar" or as "ultra" this or that.
But the testing regimen, the so-called Cambridge Filter Method, in which a machine "smokes" a cigarette, has long been suspect. In the real world, where actual human beings are on the other side of the filter, people who choose lighter cigarettes have tended to adjust their inhalation methods to compensate for what's missing. They take more puffs and longer, deeper drags, with the result that what has been touted as light - and thought of by some smokers as safer - is neither.
Now the Federal Trade Commission has wisely dropped the tests.
Tobacco companies can no longer advertise their deadly products with a notation that each cigarette contains only so much tar and so much nicotine - as per a method approved by the FTC.
The bottom line is that all cigarettes are bad, and that what is best is not to smoke any of them at all.
In the mid-1960s, when the FTC tests began, Americans were smoking everywhere and always. In offices and in cars, on trains and buses and even on airplanes. No one asked, "Mind if I smoke?" Why bother, when half the people around had already lit up?
It seems so long ago. Thankfully.
But until now, the federal government has been using the tar and nicotine test from that era.
It's long past time to assign that to the ashtray of history, too, and set our sights on truly clearing the air.

MOBILE, Ala. -- More than sixty children, between the ages of three and four years old, paraded up and down Lanier Avenue across from Ashland Place United Methodist Church on Friday in the 33rd annual Mystics of Ashland Place Mardi Gras Parade.
"We have children who are currently in our program, who are the children of former students here at Ashland Place, so that makes it exciting. Their moms and dads have paraded in this parade and now they are parading in it and that makes it a lot of fun", said Che Che Street who is the director of the weekday preschool program at the church.
"We started the parade with the Mother's Day out program and they were the Oder of the MDO and then when we started the preschool we changed it the Mystics of Ashland Place", Street said.
The preschoolers and their parents usually start getting ready for the parade before Christmas.
"We try and let our parents know what the theme of their class will be so they have plenty of time to start working on their floats", said Street.
The preschools three year olds are pulled in wagons which are decorated and the four years-olds walk as they parade and they wear "box float" costumes.
Jeff Tesney's three-year-old daughter Mary Helen was in her first parade this year as a member of the MOAP. Tesney began working on her float back just after Christmas.
Mary Helen's theme was "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain".
"It was definitely a family effort" said Tesney.
Tesney made a miniature mountain out of chicken wire and paper mache inside a wagon with a seat for Mary Helen to sit on.
"It took a good solid three or four weeks of working on it on the weekends and on Sundays said Tesney.
"She had a great time", Tesney said. "It's the perfect parade for children. They have all the trinkets and throws of a real parade but just on a smaller scale. They just go up Lanier Avenue, make a u-turn and come back down.""It's just great for little kids", Tesney said.

Recently I visited a friend of mine with a new little one. Her new baby boy was nine weeks old and one of the cutest little things I had seen. But when I saw him start crying, and keep crying, I had a flashback to my daughter's newborn days. I looked at my friend and saw that same look in her eyes that I had seen so often staring back at me in the mirror. Mommy was tired. I asked about her baby boy and if he cried like that often (he was still crying an hour later), and she said yes, and she was going crazy trying to find out why. I'm not a doctor, so I knew there were zillions of possibilities and just told her about my experience. See my baby had colic… only I didn't know it til much later. She made an appointment with her peditrician and soon after, I got call confirming what I suspected, her baby had colic. I may be rusty, but I still remembered a few things and gave her these seven ways to soothe your colicky baby tips I wish someone had given me.
7 Tips To Soothe Colic 1 of 8
Ambiance 2 of 8Image: Flickr Your baby was used to a quiet, low light space in the first home he knew- You! Recreate it in their nursery for optimal soothing. It may help dim those colicky cries.
Bath 3 of 8Image: Flickr My daughter always loved her warm baths. It eased her tummy and relieved her stress, and it gave both mommy and baby a just to breathe in between the cries. Most days she fell asleep for an hour or two after a bath!
Burping 4 of 8Image: Flickr A lot of tummy troubles can be soothed with burps. When burping didn't work, we tried a bicycle maneuver where we would circle her legs in a bicycle movement, then gently press them up against her belly. She loved the distraction and the relief.
Colief Infant Drops 5 of 8Image: Colief Colic comes in many forms and Colief Infant Drops is meant to relieve colic when the cause is transient lactase deficiency, a temporary lactose intolerance in infants that is the cause of colic in about 40% of babies with the condition. Try it and see if your baby is one of them!
Swaddle 6 of 8Image- Flikr This? I swear by. Don't ask me why, but my daughter loved being swaddle up. Research says it reminds babies of the womb. Who knows, either way- it works!
Soothing Touch 7 of 8Image: christhospital.com Simply just skin to skin contact can be very soothing to a baby, and feeling that loving touch from a parent will work wonders.
Use Warmth on Tummies 8 of 8Image: mumstreet.uk.com Ladies, you know when your stomach is especially yucky feeling, a warm compress helps subside the pain? Same theory applies with infants. Apply a not too hot warm compress (we used a wet hand towel) to your baby's tummy and rub. Cuddles for bonus love.
My friend told me these tips helped her out so much. Let me know how they work on your baby!

Staff were very friendly
Parts of the hotel, especially the halls and our bathroom, REEKED of cigarette smoke. Although the place had been updated a bit, the beds really need to be replaced. The breakfast would have been better had the milk and juice not been spoiled either.
Yes, unclean. Friends found a pair of underwear behind the bathroom door. Paint was awful. Floor beside and behind dresser had built up debris and all kinds of stuff. Very gross. Do not stay here.

I am in the process of taking an online course – Trauma-Informed Art Therapy by Cathy Malchiodi, PhD, LPAT, LPCC, ATR-BC. One of the assignments was to watch a video "Putting on the Brakes" featuring Babette Rothschild in which she describes the need to work with traumatized – if not all clients at their own pace, allowing time to decompress from the emotional intensity experienced during a therapy session. She likened this process to the balance of driving a stick shift car and the need to apply the gas and the brakes to move forward and to foster safety. It is one of the many pearls of wisdom I have gained through this course and other trainings given by Cathy.
What watching the video about putting on the breaks, I realized that I don't put on the breaks early enough. It isn't until my stress level escalates to the point that I have physical sensations that I become aware of my stress level. At that point, I put on the breaks through movement – taking a walk, yoga stretches, mindful breathing all help to slow me down on the inside. After I slow myself down and reduce the physical symptoms of stress, I can usually begin to process cognitively what the source of the stress is. Identifying the stressor and my emotions often begins putting the brakes on to my reactions. It is ironic that I had been using this technique already in my personal life and with clients. The video elicited an AHA! moment for me helping me to realize that I must recognize my stress levels earlier - before physical symptoms occur and apply the brakes.
Most of my stress is related to time and feeling as though I don't have enough time to do all of the things I need or want to do. Work related stressors are most often time-related: the pressure of staying on schedule, meeting deadlines and paperwork and sometimes, it is the client's themselves whose needs are complex and want easy fixes or their trauma stories are intense and hard for me to bear. At home, it's usually trying to fit in all of the tasks related to keeping a household in order like housekeeping, laundry and grocery shopping – my top 3 fun things – does sarcasm count as putting on the brakes?
Honestly, I do a pretty good job of putting on the brakes once I am aware I need to do so. I rely on nearly daily exercise, eating nutritiously and laughter as my core prevention strategies. Once stressed, I visualize a stop sign in my mind which helps me to stop, take a moment to pause and breathe and redirect myself. Meditation, music, self-hypnosis, support are my key strategies for applying the brakes and work well. My work is to utilize them sooner, to recognize earlier warning signs of stress and apply the brakes before the stress impact can escalate.

Over the years battery life on Android handsets has gotten significantly better, but some people need their phones to go the extra mile. Motorola launched the RAZR MAXX (and subsequently the RAZR MAXX HD) to cater to this niche set of users, or basically anyone who missed the times when you could go a few days on a single charge. Up until now, Motorola has pretty much been the only manufacturer in this market.
Lenovo isn't known for a strong Android presence in the US, but they've been making some waves in China. Their latest handset takes on the RAZR MAXX, going by the name of P770. The phone features a 3,500mAh battery, along with a 4.5-inch 960×540 display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and 1GB of RAM. A custom Lenovo UI is on top of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
While it may not be the highest-end phone on the market, Lenovo is definitely trying to make a competitive phone. Sadly, the device is only available in China, but it's not impossible that Lenovo could look to expanding to other market. Is anyone interested in a Lenovo phone?

The story used to be a simpler one. Jandek, it was said, was a total enigma, a musician as reclusive as J.D. Salinger or Thomas Pynchon. Back in 1978, he put out the first of his self-released, scaldingly bleak albums, Ready for the House, under the name "the Units"; three years later, he started using the Jandek name for his second album, Six and Six, and has since released at least one each year, except 1995. The production of the albums is credited to Corwood Industries, a Houston, Texas, company that operates out of a P.O. box and doesn't appear to have any other function than producing and distributing Jandek records. The records are uniformly designed, with badly lit photographs of a man or part of a building on the front cover and plain type on the back.
Jandek had only ever given one interview; he never played live or toured; he never bought into the publicity machine of the music industry at all. He had no interest in communicating any information about himself other than what was on the records. His medium was the album, and that was it. His music was...not like anybody else's, and although not a lot of people could say they listened to it for pleasure, a small cult of listeners found that it scratched an itch nothing else could reach.
I discovered his records by way of a housemate who'd heard a kindred spirit and flashes of terrible beauty in Jandek's atonal deathbed-blues groan and listless flailing at a way-out-of-tune guitar. For a summer, my housemate listened to almost nothing else; a ceaseless gray trickle of sound emerged from under his door. I mostly hated it. A few years later, though, I found myself really wanting to hear Jandek again; his expressiveness about pain, his rejection of the entire architecture of popular music from its economic superstructure down to tonality and rhythm, the shuddering luminescence-through-muck of songs like "Nancy Sings" and "I Went Outside" and "I Passed by the Building." Every so often, I get the urge to check in on him.
The standard Jandek joke at my college radio station was "he's making a lot of progress on this one"—but he really has been moving through distinct phases. He's played with collaborators, then by himself again, experimented with solo piano, made a trio of harrowing albums with only his voice and a Dictaphone, then a few accompanying himself with a fretless bass that he plays as expressively and tunelessly as the detuned acoustic guitar he generally favors. In 2003, Paul Fehler and Chad Freidrichs introduced Jandek to a larger audience by releasing a documentary film about the music and the mystery, Jandek on Corwood, in which the musician didn't appear, although he did provide a little assistance. (Full disclosure: I was interviewed for it.)
And then, on Oct. 17, 2004, at an experimental music festival in Glasgow, the story got more complicated when a gaunt man who looked to be in his late 50s took the stage with bassist Richard Youngs and drummer Alex Neilson. His appearance hadn't been advertised or announced, but once he opened his mouth, it was unmistakable: Jandek was playing in front of a live audience. (Officially, he was referred to only as "a representative from Corwood Industries," but a recording of the show appeared last year as a Jandek album, Glasgow Sunday.) Since then, he's played in public 11 more times, mostly advertised in advance. On Thursday, April 20, Jandek will make his first West Coast appearance, performing at the Hollywood Theatre.
It's part of the Jackpot Records/Clinton Street Video Film Festival, put together by Jackpot owner Isaac Slusarenko and his brother, Clinton Street Video owner Chris Slusarenko. Everyone involved with the performance is exceedingly careful about how they talk about Jandek—there's a sense of walking on ontological eggshells. (Asked how they organized the performance, Isaac Slusarenko says only that "the representatives at Corwood Industries worked with us.") The brothers handpicked a pair of Portland musicians to collaborate with "the Man from C.O.R.W.O.O.D.," as fans sometimes call him: Sam Coomes from Quasi and Emil Amos from the Grails.
"There is really nothing about [Jandek] that needs to be deciphered," Amos writes from Europe, where he's currently on tour. "I think most people find Jandek to be too straightforward ... The fact that he doesn't feel like promoting himself shouldn't be so shocking or mysterious when those things are generally the most fruitless things that come along with making music. His appearance in the history of music comforts me when I start to feel like there is nothing left but compromise and collapse for the dialogue of raw human expression."
Amos and Coomes have been rehearsing together, although they won't know what they're playing until the day of the show—all of the Jandek appearances so far have featured entirely new material. "Emil and I mostly just talked about the approach, because it's going to be improvised," Coomes says. "It's an unusual musical situation even for somebody who's used to that kind of thing. He and I had never played together, so we thought it'd be nice to get together and play, even without Jandek. Mostly, I've been listening to some of the more recent live recordings, trying to get my head into the zone that the music comes out of, so that I can respond appropriately when the time comes."
As with a lot of Jandek's listeners, Coomes took to the musician slowly. "I had a housemate in the mid- to late-'80s who had a couple of Jandek records—I couldn't get my head around them. Eventually, I more or less dismissed them: 'Here's a guy who's trying to do something interesting, but it doesn't seem like it's working out.' But then, after Chris contacted me about playing this, I went back and listened to the records, and suddenly they just kind of opened up—his music hadn't really communicated to the young, inexperienced me the same way it does now."
Even so, being tapped for the performance was something of a surprise: Coomes says that he had to sign a contract agreeing to play at it before he found out who he was working with. He hasn't had any direct contact with Corwood or Jandek. "It doesn't seem like many people do," he says.
That's not entirely true, but the people who do also tend to be discreet about it. There's no Corwood website, although there is an excellent fan site at tisue.net/jandek. The only way to contact Jandek is to write to the company's P.O. box, which was first printed in music magazine ads around 1980, accompanied only by the words "Jandek on Corwood." Occasionally, if you write to him with something besides a CD order, he'll write back—a cryptic little handwritten note or, if you're lucky, more. I spoke with one fan who said she'd been carrying on an extensive correspondence with Jandek for a few years. "He's unabashedly honest in his artistic statement," she said, but declined to otherwise be quoted on the record or identified.
In the meantime, Jandek is releasing more material than he ever has before. His new album, What Else Does the Time Mean, is his 46th in all, and his third released in 2006. Besides the Glasgow live album, a performance from last May has just appeared as Newcastle Sunday, and the live discs have some extraordinary moments on them. In Glasgow, when he growls, "I made the decision to get real wild," the audience cheers; in Newcastle, his band builds up to a breathless churn as he declares, "The queen of Sheba doesn't have nothing on you/ You dance on my necktie like it was your tattoo," in a voice like Bob Dylan begging for a life preserver.
Tickets for the Hollywood Theatre performance went on sale April 5. Jackpot's Isaac Slusarenko said he expected to sell all of them in 10 minutes, which didn't happen; as of Monday, April 17, there were still some available. But admirers of Jandek who live pretty far away are planning to come to Portland for the show. Eric Reynolds, a fan of 15 years who lives in Seattle, is looking forward to it: "It's only the third time he's ever played in the U.S., and I never thought I'd ever have a chance to see him. I don't even know what the music's going to be like—I don't know if it's going to be a great concert, per se, but I just can't not see it for myself."
Isaac Slusarenko also says he doesn't know what to expect: "I know it will be, for sure, happening. But I'm just as in the dark as most of the other people who are participating. If I describe Jandek to somebody who's not familiar with him, it's really hard to start a frame of reference. You want to talk about the historical impact, or the mystery—but people should know that this will probably be your only chance to see this show."
1. Ready for the House (1978)
His first album, and something like a statement of purpose: one man, one quiet guitar tuned to the ugliest possible dissonance, and a voice that sounds like it belongs to a decapitated head. The quietly moaned lyrics circle obsessively around a few topics—gospel filtered through blues filtered through desperate dissociation—but the biggest theme is utter isolation. "First You Think Your Fortune's Lovely" spawned the titles of later albums Staring at the Cellophane and Chair Beside a Window; Jandek later re-recorded the Velvet Underground-inflected "European Jewel" on a few other albums.
2. Telegraph Melts (1986)
Something like a brutal garage-rock record with all the riffs and melodies expunged and rhythms kneecapped, or a zombie version of Jefferson Airplane. This was the period when Jandek was playing with a drummer and an additional singer, known to Corwood aficionados as "Nancy." She croons several texts herself (attempting to finesse them into songhood), and the two of them duet on most of the second half of the album. "Ace of Diamonds" is thoroughly disintegrated Chicago blues. "You Painted Your Teeth" is a very strong piece of advice not to paint one's teeth.
3. Lost Cause (1992)
When this album came out—with its almost-straight pop song "Babe I Love You" and support-beam-smashing 20-minute noise improvisation "The Electric End," not to mention lyrics about divine vengeance and breakups ("You saw what happened at the Tower of Babel/ They couldn't even talk to each other")—some listeners briefly suspected that it was the final Jandek record. But if Jandek's got a favorite theme, it's probably eschatology: He's also named albums The Living End and Blue Corpse and The End of It All, and titled songs "The First End" and "The Second End" and "Pending Doom" and "Going Away."
4. Put My Dream on This Planet (2000)
This is the first of the infamous "spoken word" trilogy (which seem to have been recorded on a voice-activated Dictaphone)—actually, he's just singing unaccompanied, but his singing sounds like most people's speech. The first two tracks are both over 20 minutes long, and suggest a final summing-up. It's as if everything in the world has disappeared except for his slurred but unstoppable voice, pleading for "your life" and saying he's "ready for the house," a house made of granite and cast iron. The third and final track is 77 seconds long, the shattered fragments of a blues about going outside into the cold.
5. Glasgow Sunday (2005)
A document of Jandek's first live performance, and his strongest album in ages. That's partly because he's working with a more conventionally fluent bassist and drummer who adapt easily to his unique anti-rhythms and un-chords, but mostly because he sounds invigorated by what's clearly a thrilled audience—maybe the most immediate feedback he's ever gotten for his art. "The staaaars are SINKING!" he bellows. "I don't know what to DO! Not...even...wa-ter...crossed...my...lips!" Lyrical topics include heartbreak, God's forgiveness, laundry, the blues of a "blue blue world"—you know, the usual.
Jandek plays Thursday, April 20, at the Hollywood Theatre. 7 pm. $16.50. All ages. For more info on the Jackpot Records/Clinton Street Video Film Festival, go to www.jackpotrecords.com.
