Review: Final Fantasy VII - Final Fantasy VIIJul 9, 2003
This is easily one of the greatest RPGs I've ever played. Kept me entertained for hours on end. Final Fantasy X was the FF I played, so when I first played this game it took me awhile to get past the graphics but when I did I fell in love with...

the opening now formed is that which the Italians have entitled the "Giuoco Piano;" an opening, less attacking than many others, but one perfectly safe for both players, and therefore always in request, and which usually generates games of the most solid and instructive kind. totally agree with this sentence found on http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16377/16377-h/16377-h.htm#Pg_74

A prism-pair interferometer comprising two homodyne interferometers with a common light source was developed for high-precision measurements of the refractive index of optical glasses with an uncertainty of the order of . The two interferometers measure changes in the optical path length in the glass sample and in air, respectively. Uncertainties in the absolute wavelength of the common light source are cancelled out by calculating a ratio between the results from the interferometers. Uncertainties in phase measurement are suppressed by a quadrature detection system. The combined standard uncertainty of the developed system is evaluated as .

4/15 Cubs, city reach agreement
The Cubs and the city of Chicago have reached an agreement on a $500 million renovation plan for Wrigley Field, which includes the addition of a video scoreboard in left field, more night games and improvements to the Wrigleyville community. Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts was to meet with the media at 11 a.m. CT Monday to discuss the proposal.
"We are excited about moving forward with the approval process," Ricketts said in a statement. "Under the leadership of Mayor [Rahm] Emanuel and [Ald. Tom Tunney, 44th Ward], we believe the Cubs proposal will help us invest in Wrigley Field and the Lakeview community. We are anxious to work with our community as we seek the approvals required to move the project forward."
No public dollars will be needed for the Wrigley Field renovation project. If approved, the Cubs say the proposal would create 2,100 new jobs and generate hundreds of millions in new tax revenue for the city, state and county. The jobs include 800 construction jobs and 1,300 permanent jobs, and this would be among the biggest investments currently underway in the city of Chicago.
All designs and construction are subject to a planned development process. The Cubs say community participation and input to this point has been helpful on night games, ballpark design, plaza and hotel. There will be public hearings on the proposal.
* According to the Cubs, the rooftop views will be largely preserved. The Cubs have agreed to install only two signs in the outfield -– a video scoreboard in left field and a sign in right field. This is far less than the team's original desire for seven signs to help offset the cost of ballpark restoration. Signs will be placed in a manner to limit impact on rooftops.
* If approved, the Cubs would play 40 night baseball games, up from the current 30. If Major League Baseball or its national television contract requires the Cubs to play more than five home night games in any season, such games will be authorized by special ordinance and will not count against the 40-game limit or require additional cost to Cubs. This does not include playoffs, the All-Star Game, events outside the baseball season, events when fewer than 15,000 are expected to attend, games rescheduled because of weather or other cause, or other events excluded under the current ordinance, which will be allowed as well. No Saturday or Sunday night games will be played unless MLB schedules them for national TV purposes.
There is a special ordinance for concerts (maximum of four), with no additional cost to the Cubs. These do not count as a night game, and are permitted on weekends. Anything beyond four concerts will count as a night game.
The Cubs also will be able to play six Friday games, starting at 3:05 p.m. CT. Currently, they are not able to play any at that time, which makes it difficult for the team coming back from road trips.
Under the plan, the Cubs will have the flexibility to schedule smaller events in-season and to schedule off-season events at Wrigley Field without sacrificing a night game or incurring additional cost.
* The Cubs want to install a 6,000 square foot videoboard in left field, and the team will choose the location with the goal to have minimal impact on the rooftops, which surround the ballpark, and with whom the Cubs have an agreement. The videoboard may be further cantilevered over the public street to help further minimize impact on rooftops.
There also will be one sign in right field of 1,000 square feet in the style of the existing Toyota sign now in left. The Cubs will choose the location with the goal is to again have minimal impact on the rooftops.
* The city of Chicago has agreed to vacate the sidewalk and one street lane on Waveland Avenue (from Sheffield to Clark), at no cost to the Cubs, which will be incorporated into the ballpark, subject to a requirement to maintain eight feet of sidewalk. This will allow the left field video board to be moved further north, thus minimizing the sightline impact on rooftops. It also increases the open space on the plaza by moving the office building further North.
The city also will vacate the sidewalk on Sheffield Avenue (from Addison to Waveland), at no cost to the Cubs, which will be incorporated into the ballpark, subject to a requirement to maintain eight feet of sidewalk.
* The Cubs will add a new 14,000 square foot, two-story Captain Morgan Club on Addison Street with a merchandise store and space for visitors' clubhouse, to replace the existing street-level restaurant.
* New additions to the ballpark in left field and right field corners will allow more flexible space for fans, including connection points to bleachers and grandstands at the height of current bleachers. The right field addition will also include a ground floor restaurant opening (an expanded version of the Sheffield Grill) onto Sheffield Avenue.
The Cubs also will be able to use Sheffield Avenue for weekend home games between Memorial Day and Labor Day beginning two hours before the game and ending at the end of the second inning.

All I ask for is a retractable roof. It could start from behind the rooftops for all I care. Any way to get it. Then we could get tickets for any game any time of the year.

National Care Standards Commission
London: TSO, 2004
Report provides information on the availability of care homes, changes in the number of registered services between April 2002 and October 2003 and performance against the full range of national minimum standards for the quality of care. It analyses the size, performance and trends of the care home market.
G. Hodgson
Caring Times, May 2004, p.16-25
Report of an interview with Prof. John Spiers, a board member of the now defunct National Care Standards Commission. Prof. Spiers emphasizes the need for a different blend of regulation and markets, in which clients, providers and purchasers are empowered, and there is less reliance on state inspection and control.
B. Foster
Professional Social Work, May 2004, p.14
The article argues that recent policy changes are leading to the emergence of generic posts such as youth offending workers and primary mental health workers, which include an element of social work.
P. Gosling
Public Finance, May 7th-13th 2004, p.20-23
A major reform of social services for adults is in the offing. It is predicted that this will see the end of "mass production" of services, with the focus shifting to their personalisation. There will be a move to a mixed market in care provision, facilitated by direct payments to clients to enable them to buy in help. Adult services will be split off from children's services. There are serious concerns that treating children outside of the context of their families will lead to the root cause of problems not being detected and relatives not being supported.

Lebeaux gets high marks in his annual job review
Overall, select board members rated town administrator John Lebeaux's performance "excellent to distinguished" at their Nov. 4 meeting.
Board chairman Stan Moss compiled each selectman's ratings and comments. The board rated Lebeaux's overall management excellent to distinguished dealing with planned and unplanned incidents. As examples, Moss noted replacing the tree warden, COA director and cemetery superintendent. Moss noted Lebeaux's efforts with the Green Repair program at Thomas Prince School, a project that came in under budget, all bills paid, pending closeout and final reimbursement, and obtaining another $55,700 in excess reimbursement from the Massachusetts School Building Authority for the project, and his efforts related to the Rte. 140 reconstruction project.
Moss commended Lebeaux for his financial planning and management skills and the progress toward regionalization, notably, the regional animal control officer and soon-to-be regional dispatch with Holden.
The major issue was resolution of the fire chief position, from hiring a new chief, dismissal, interim chief and appointment of a part-time chief," said Moss. "He presents problems, does a great analysis and makes great recommendations." Moss said selectmen would like Lebeaux to work on delegation skills for routine tasks that could be accomplished through staff, giving him more time to deal with strategic issues.
In his relationship with other boards, committees and town employees, Moss said Lebeaux demonstrated strong leadership and communication. "He shows great leadership with committees and departments, providing guidance to EMS project personnel, working with people on the Thomas Prince playground installation, and the school PCB issues, obtaining the used pumper truck for the fire department and helping prepare the Rte. 140 TIP documents,"said Moss. Lebeaux was recognized for his work to get the CodeRED system in place. "He impresses everyone with his analytical abilities and is extremely valuable to Princeton," said Moss.
Regarding personal and professional growth, Moss said Lebeaux is active in small town forums, regional organizations and at the state level. "We're all very happy and appreciative. This is a once-a-year report but we all talk with John every week," said Moss.
"It's a pleasure to work with John," said selectman Neil Sulmasy. "You can have confidence in the research and purpose behind everything he says."
Lebeaux thanked the board for their "kind and generous comments."
"It's a privilege to work for the Town of Princeton," said Lebeaux. "I enjoy coming to work every day. My job is to execute the policies made by the board.
"Anything I achieved is a result off the work of the employees," said Lebeaux. "I can't emphasize enough the hard working group we have here, from department heads to part-time employees, It's a great culture here that I inherited and done my best to maintain."

The numbers tell a horrific story. In 2011, there were 5,449 reported cases of rape and sexual violence in Zimbabwe. According to UNICEF, one in three girls is raped or sexually assaulted before reaching the age of 18. Girls between 13 and 16 years old account for 50 per cent of all cases. And only two per cent ever seek treatment.
Political, social and economic instability in Zimbabwe has created an environment conducive to sexual violence against women. Rape and sexual violence are being used as political weapons and are destroying families and communities.
During the 2008 elections, rape and sexual violence was used as a tool for political repression. I recently met with a group of about 50 survivors of political rape. They revealed untold levels of suffering, with many of the women opening up for the first time about their experiences.
One woman said that despite having conceived a child from a politically motivated gang rape, she was just now speaking out for the first time. She said, "I am ashamed, I feel dirty. I could not tell anyone, even my husband, as he would have rejected me. What about this child that still brings a lot of memories?"
Although rape and sexual violence against women is often used as intimidation and punishment for political activities, husbands, tragically, reject and isolate their wives.
In Zimbabwe, a woman who is raped is no longer considered suitable for marriage and is said to bring shame on the family.
Tsitsi (not her real name) was raped when she 14 years old by three men in her community. Over 15 years later, her family still rejects her, she has attempted suicide, and the men accused of raping her have not been arrested or charged by police.
Survivors experience physical, social and psychological long-term effects. Women told me of being brutally abused with axes or knives causing permanent scarring, or of being forced to swallow stones and drink their urine after the rape. Constant fear, anxiety, increased forgetfulness and trouble sleeping are the lingering after-effects.
We must build on courage of the women survivors of sexual violence and work to ensure that women feel safe reporting attacks, and get needed medical attention and support in getting justice.
Raising awareness about rape and other forms of sexual violence is key to prevention. We need to work with men to build more equal gender relationships. We need to support women's organizations that are addressing institutionalized gender discrimination. Aid budgets, including Canada's, should support programs to advance and protect women's rights.
Rape needs to be treated as a serious human rights issue.
Ultimately, we need to change people's attitude towards violence against women. We need to send a message loud and clear: never again.
Netty Musanhu is executive director of the Musasa Project in Zimbabwe. She is in Canada for Oxfam's Gender Justice Summit, and is in St. John's today and tomorrow for the start of Sexual Violence Awareness Week.

Being of one mind as a orchestra may have its drawbacks, from a listening standpoint, according to a recent study. Individually, musicians can deliver inspired performances and remain in concert. These are some of the findings of a recent study.
Writer Tom Jacobs expounds on what this means for orchestra musicians, the listening enjoyment of audiences and more in a online piece, titled "The Marriage of Mozart and Mindfulness."
After reading Jacobs' commentary, Syracuse Symphony Orchestra music director Daniel Hege offered his observations:
With all great music, there are endless possibilities for discovering inspiring, new ideas. For highly experienced musicians, a sense of predictability may start to subvert the sense of discovery. This is something all searching and thinking musicians know they must guard against, in the same way a great actor knows he or she must continue to search for more and more subtleties in the turns of phrase in a Shakespeare play.
The most masterful musicians continually discover new ways to express the power of the music they play. Why? Possibly because they are good-hearted persons who feel an obligation to do so _ for the sake of the art. However, the better reason to do so is because it is honest to continually search. It is the only way to stay on the path toward the truth of the music itself.

St. Clairsville native publishes novel
FRANKIE J. BERARDI, a 2014 graduate of St. Clairsville High School, has written a novel which has been published and is available at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com
He describes himself as a "teenager preparing to attend The Ohio State University. However he is more than that. He gives his time and talents to his community and to those who need assistance. And he enjoys writing.

It is about Ben Zyler whose playboy lifestyle quickly changes when the state of Nevada charges him with a crime he did not commit. At once he is thrust into the midst of an elaborate puzzle to clear his name and discover his enemy.
As he battles the law, himself and the unseen his plight becomes personal when a mysterious phone call arrives. At once, he and his girlfriend's lives are threatened. The conspirator however, is faceless and unknown. It is simply a Voice.

Pulling Ben and his closest companions deeper into a labrynth of mental struggles, it tests human strength and challenges moral convictions.

The study, led by researchers at the University of Arizona's Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, said the spacing between tree rings -- which mark a trees annual growth -- grew during the latter half of the 20th century.
From taking core samples of trees in California and Nevada, they concluded that the growth of high-elevation bristlecone pines in the West was greater in the late 1900's than in any other 50-year period in the past 3,700 years.
"The accelerated growth is suggestive of an environmental change unprecedented in millennia," the researchers' paper says.
The researchers said temperatures have a greater impact on trees like the bristlecone, which grows at the treeline, than on lower-elevation trees, which are more dependent on factors like rainfall. The scientists also ruled out increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as the cause of the more rapid growth.
"What it means for the mountains, and the mountain environment, is probably treeline will be moving up, and there are some indications of that occurring," said the lab's Matthew Salzer. "Other animal and plant species will have to shift up to accommodate the changing conditions."
In the Northwest, high-elevation snowpack accounts for about a third of our stored water supply.
Salzer said that as treelines migrate upward, that could affect the timing and amount of our annual runoff, which recharges reservoirs for cities, crops and other uses.
"Certainly warming at high altitude is going to have an impact on water supply," Salzer said.

So, it took the country eight years of deregulation, a recession, 4,000 Americans dead in Iraq, our civil liberties ripped right out of the constitution, and those with the top 1% of incomes finally holding the top 95% of the wealth to get The Shrub out of office.
We fought long and hard, donating money and time we couldn't afford to get him out and a Democrat in, and to build a near-filibuster-proof majority.
We who put these folks in office sent a strong mandate that it's time to get back to the Democratic values for which this party stands. And now, NOW, these so-called Conservadems have their own little "We know better than the people who put us here" coalition, an alliance, as if they get to vote us off the island...What the HELL are these people thinking???
Might I ask someone to remind me again why we let Joe Lieberman back into the caucus after his traitorous moves? (I know, I know, we wanted him to vote with us...but he's dragging us down again!) And Claire McCaskell. Awwww....we thought you were one of the good guys, Claire...Man, these elected representatives are supposed to be supporting our party, but they've been drinking the Obstructionist Kool-Aid! And there are a handful more that are even too chicken-shit to let their constituencies know who they are! Wrong, just friggin' wrong. Dirty pool.
Everyone should know who these people are. At least those below had the cojones to show their faces. Below are the folks that have decided to waste this opportunity to move the Democratic agenda forward and to join the Grand Obstructionist Party in blocking progress for our nation:

Please, let them know what you think of this ridiculous shell game they're playing with the will of the people. We have a true opportunity to bring our country back to life. Don't let them destroy it for the corporate, nay-saying we voted against. Tell them you want them to support the President's agenda, and that you are their boss, not the GOP. And when you're done, let us know what you think of this whole mess by commenting here.
And it's the 6th anniversary of the War in Iraq. Last night on Charlie Rose, Condi claimed that Bush never claimed Al Quaida was connected to Iraq. The revisionist history begins. My God, my God, my God. I am speechless.

By RAY KELLY
Jamie Kennedy is a busy man with few complaints.
The wild comedic force that concocted television's "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment" now co-stars in the supernatural CBS series "Ghost Whisperer" with real-life girlfriend Jennifer Love Hewitt.
He will soon be seen in the independent drama "Cafe," though for now he is performing stand-up comedy across the country. He brings his act to the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee on Saturday.
Kennedy, who travels the circuit with Hewitt close by, will continue his stand-up shows until "Ghost Whisperer" begins shooting its fifth season.
"I think it's a great way to express yourself in another outlet," said Kennedy in a recent interview from Monaco, where he was attending the Monte Carlo Television Festival with Hewitt. "I always like to be busy and I enjoy building my audience."
Frequently photographed by paparazzi, the 39-year-old Kennedy is unruffled by the attention the celebrity couple has attracted.
"It's been pretty stress free, I have to admit. She's a pro, so she's knows how to avoid the pappos and such. As far as mags, at least they care enough to write about us. You can't control what they write, so you hope it's just somewhat truthful."
Kennedy and Hewitt will co-star in writer-director Marc Erlbaum's "Cafe." Producers hope to have the film edited by fall and ready for the Sundance Film Festival.
"It's a cool lil' indie drama," Kennedy said. "I describe it as 'The Matrix,' but without the action. The movie examines the idea - 'What if the world we lived in wasn't real at all.'"
Speaking of unreal, Kennedy will reprise his role on "Ghost Whisperer" of psychologist Eli James, who befriend's Hewitt's do-gooding, spirit-chatting Melinda Gordon. He joined the series last fall after the departure of co-star Jay Mohr.
"(The producers) were looking for another comedic type," Kennedy recalled. "I took the meeting and got the job. They have been the nicest, most welcoming group I've ever worked with."
"In the beginning, I was just dropping a lot of exposition, but as the season progressed they gave me more storylines to interact with and more stuff to examine. Hopefully, in this season Eli can go out on his own adventures and have run-ins with ghosts and help lighten the load off Melinda even more."
Kennedy is no stranger to tales of the supernatural.
He co-starred in horror director Wes Craven's popular comedy "Scream" and its two successful film sequels between 1996 and 2000. He has made numerous appearances in other movies, ranging from Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo + Juliet" to Kevin Smith's "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back."
The Pennsylvania native gained fame on TV as the hidden camera prankster behind the "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment" - a hipper descendant of "Candid Camera" that debuted on the WB network in 2002.
The sketch comedy/reality series mined Kennedy's ability to assume various off-beat characters and interact with unsuspecting victims. Its mark is visible on both the big screen ("Borat") and television ("Punk'd").
Kennedy is interested in reinventing his "Experiment."
"I would love too. The producers and I are talking to a few networks," he said. "I think it would be very exciting to re-examine it."
Until then, Kennedy will be doing stand-up, preparing for "Ghost Whisper," considering film projects and contemplating, perhaps, "a nice vacation somewhere in Hawaii."
Event: Jamie Kennedy live
When: Saturday, 7 p.m.
Where: Hu Ke Lau, Chicopee
Cost: $25 (21 years and older only)

Enough already with this mellow incense and peppermints vibe. Let's break out the mushrooms and dance naked! Strap on the goat skull headgear, sacrifice a few infants. Come on, people, you're cultists. Start acting like it.
I guess you can tell I learned all I know about country life from "Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman" reruns.

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS - I don't know about you, but my mate is busy planning his spring projects. At this very moment he has an upstairs bedroom torn apart down to the studs, those 2x4-inch boards that look like ribs.
But that's not all. He has the downstairs bathroom ceiling torn out, exposing the floor boards above. Soon, he's going to attack the basement and take a hacksaw (I think) to the plumbing pipes.
I'm a seasoned pro at holding tape measures, going to the toolbox for very specific bits, ends, screws and thingamajigs.
They have names, but I try to not clutter up my mind remembering them. Besides, if I know their names, I'll be expected to know how to use them. Having already "remodeled" two previous homes, I thought I did know some things, but Steve was a professional carpenter in an earlier career.
As it turns out, it seems I don't know much. Being a natural blonde, I decided that was okay. If he wants to be the alpha male, I'm cool with that. It's way easier than arguing about the correct angle to use when using a screwdriver, pry bar or paintbrush. Never mind that the screw is in, it's straight and it's doing its job.
This elusive correct angle is existential in nature. In other words, it's so exact, I will never achieve it, according to my mate. My solution is to let him handle these exact sciences and I'll busy myself with something else. When the need arises and he's not looking, however, I do get the job done.
Just last week when it was still winter, we interviewed plumbers. Actually, they interviewed us, checked out our pipes, shook their heads over our "heat runs" and scratched their chins over how we were going to split up a medium sized bedroom into a small room plus small bathroom.
It's not the splitting up that's hard to do. Apparently, it's how to route the plumbing pipes and vents, and sneak in another exit for the furnace to pump heat to the split-off room.
When the dust settled—who am I kidding, it has just begun—he re-hired a plumber we used in the past and decided to do a lot of the grunt work himself. That past project added a new bathroom downstairs large enough to accommodate a Jacuzzi tub. That project was my idea. This project is his, so I'm content to take the back seat.
Last spring his beautiful mind was filled with measurements for a fence to help define a side lot line and to contain our sprawling grass plants. When that was done he tackled repairs to a small utility barn. That took most of the summer as he painstakingly righted all the carpentry wrongs committed by whomever it was that built the barn.
So, you see where I'm going with this? In spring my love's head is filled with lumber and hardware supply lists, not thoughts of love and romance, despite what flowery romantic poetry we were told while growing up.
I wondered which scenario was true. So, being a modern woman, I searched online and tried to research the subject from the male perspective.
My findings revealed that when men do commit their heads to think about romance, it has little to do with spring. And, what they spend time doing is trying to figure us out, not as individuals, but as females as a whole, as if we were a box of common nails.
It would appear from the online literature that what men really want is a guidebook with fail-safe instructions, much like a manual on installing a toilet.
I was taken by one on askmen.com that sought to debunk myths, such as "women want to talk," "women want macho men" and "women want to be treated equally."
It opened up with, "Here are some things women (really) don't want in a partner or relationship, and what turns their interest on instead." At that point I imagined that the author of that article wished we had a light switch that he could turn on to turn us on. But, I continued reading anyway.
His myth No. 1 was that women want to talk. He cited s statistic that women use 20,000 words a day compared to a man's 7,000. He concluded that women don't really want their men to talk, they just want them to listen while they use those 20,000 words. "It's much more important to her that you hear her out instead of warble back uninterested remarks."
I have to admit that he has a point, but if he's prone to warble back uninterested remarks I'm doubting he heard a word I said.
In a follow up labeled Myth No. 3, the author said women (really don't) want to hear about your feelings. "When women whine about wanting a man who expresses his feelings, they're really saying that they want a man who'll talk about his thoughts and opinions."
Are the author's thoughts and opinions devoid of feelings? Sometimes a woman might just want to know what's going on inside that man's head. The problem is when she reads something like this, she may wish she didn't know what he was thinking. The mind can be a scary place.
His myth No. 2 that women (really don't) want macho men tickled my funny bone. His advice was that women don't want men who would start a fist-fight in a restaurant if another guy hit on her while the two of you were dining.
Seriously, is this even a consideration? And, how much time did the author spend in debating this issue?
I know a lot of people, but I only know of one woman who enjoyed seeing two men fight over her. The thrill was gone, however, when the police arrived to break it up. It was even less attractive as the three of them sobered up.
"Leave the bar brawls to Brody Jenner, please," he wrote. The rationale was interesting. The author surmised that to engage in this behavior would embarrass the woman because you would look "possessive and crazy." I wondered, shouldn't the men also feel a twinge of embarrassment? But, wait, that gets into the taboo subject of "feelings."
Then finally, there was the myth that women (really don't) want to be treated equally. "If you start treating her like she can fix her own kitchen sink or buy herself flowers, then you're in trouble. See, just because she is capable of looking after herself doesn't mean you should lose your gentlemanly ways. And yes, this holds true even if your woman is a loud and proud feminist."
I'm not going to comment on this one. In fact, I haven't even stopped laughing yet. I know the author is just one man and these are just his opinions, right? But, right now, I'm glad that the love of my life has a second floor bathroom to contemplate. I may not know what he's feeling, but at least I know what he's thinking about.

What is Marine Biology?
According to marinecareers.net:
The field of marine biology -- the study of marine organisms, their behaviors, and their interactions with the environment -- is considered one of the most all-encompassing fields of oceanography. To understand marine organisms and their behaviors completely, marine biologists must have a basic understanding of other aspects or "disciplines" of oceanography, such as chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, and geological oceanography. Therefore, marine biologists and biological oceanographers study these other fields throughout their careers, enabling them to take a "big picture" approach to doing research.

I was deeply immersed in the process of making my soon-to-be-famous baked beans when Sheryl Crow stopped me in my tracks.
"Ultimately [it] created a huge expansion in my life," Crow said of her breast cancer diagnosis and radiation treatment. Speaking with my favorite interviewer on the planet, Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, just after the release of Crow's "Detours" CD in 2008, Crow was a year and a half out from treatment.
"It's probably always been my propensity to just stay busy, instead of getting bogged down with feelings," Crow said. "I've always gone to my music for any kind of pain I ever felt. This was really an exercise in holding an emotion, and working through the pain, and not making myself busy. "
As a recovering work-it-through-workaholic myself, I totally agreed when she said that to some extent, "we all push it down and it becomes a part of our makeup, and that certainly is not good for our health.
"I really, really met myself every morning at 7:30, on that radiation table.""
After listening to the interview and thinking how universal her discoveries are, I couldn't help wish that sharing them could keep others from having to learn the hard way. Maybe at the very least, it will remind us all how much we can control despite the uncontrollable.
Crow: "Anybody that's gone through radiation will attest that it's something you can only do by yourself, and you really have to consider from that moment forward what you want your life to look like and who you want to be and how you're going to treat yourself.
"One of the things that I learned from that experience, and I think there is a lesson on cancer, just like any diagnosis, and that was that I really have to put myself first from here on out and that I can't take care of everybody else and everybody else's needs and wants before my own, because ultimately what happens is that I suffer ... "
I too, have learned that self-awareness and self-protection are essential to our health: They do not mean selfish, self-absorbed or self-indulgent.
We've learned that taking care of ourselves is like flying with children: If there's an emergency, the adult had better put on her oxygen mask first if she wants to function and help them.
Crow talked about sitting with herself through the cancer and radiation experience and envisioning what she wanted her life to be. The child of a strong, close family, she decided that part of her life was missing, so after radiation, she started the adoption process, and about a year later, son Wyatt came into her life. "He's a great little teacher." She later adopted a second son, Levi James.
Some teachers are way more fun than others.

The Holy Spirit Comes at�Pentecost
The Holy Spirit Comes at�Pentecost
1 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven.
6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken.
7 Utterly amazed, they asked: �Aren�t all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?
9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b]
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome
11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs�we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!�
12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, �What does this mean?�
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, �They have had too much wine.�
Peter Addresses the Crowd
Peter Addresses the Crowd
14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: �Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.
15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It�s only nine in the morning!
16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

This blog is about using ICTs to develop climate change preparedness solutions built around Energy Internet and eVehicles
Energy Internet and eVehicles Overview
Governments around the world are wrestling with the challenge of how to prepare society for inevitable climate change. To date most people have been focused on how to reduce Green House Gas emissions, but now there is growing recognition that regardless of what we do to mitigate against climate change the planet is going to be significantly warmer in the coming years with all the attendant problems of more frequent droughts, flooding, sever storms, etc. As such we need to invest in solutions that provide a more robust and resilient infrastructure to withstand this environmental onslaught especially for our electrical and telecommunications systems.
Linking renewable energy with high speed Internet using fiber to the home combined with eVehicles and dynamic charging where vehicle's batteries are charged as it travels along the road, may provide for a whole new "energy Internet" infrastructure for linking small distributed renewable energy sources to users that is far more robust and resilient to survive climate change than today's centralized command and control infrastructure.

Here are more of our favorite — and least favorite — attractions of years gone by, this time from Epcot Center.
Epcot — the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow — never quite lived up to Walt Disney's original vision. Instead of becoming a place for people to "live, work and play together," it evolved into a two-pronged theme park/world's fair.
Except for the inevitable refurbishments over the years, the attractions in World Showcase — the world's fair part of Epcot — have pretty much remained the same since opening day in 1982, with one exception.
The Mexico pavilion featured a very It's a Small World-type boat ride called El Rio del Tiempo, which was a relaxing excursion highlighting many of the country's top tourist top spots. The ride was overhauled a few years back to feature what seemed like a natural theme — the Gran Fiesta Tour with the bumbling Three Caballeros from the 1943 film of the same name — Donald Duck, Jose Carioca and Panchito Pistoles. Essentially the same ride, but definitely an improvement.
The Future World section of Epcot has seen the most change since 1982 — isn't it funny how visions of the future need to be updated every so often? Spaceship Earth, Epcot's very recognizable icon, has undergone several upgrades over the years in its quest to teach us about the evolution of communication; the latest is the most advanced and now features a very enjoyable interactive ending. Don't forget to smile for the camera.
Like ol' man river, the Living Seas became a very tired exhibit very quickly after opening day. There was a rather pointless ride alongside a giant aquarium and, even though you saw one of the largest man-made ocean environments anywhere, the Living Seas pavilion just never captured people's imaginations.
Enter Nemo and his fish friends. First, Turtle Talk with Crush — an ingenious interactive "chat" with the gnarly turtle dude — opened to unexpected rousing success, then the "pointless ride" was transformed into a very clever "Finding Nemo" adventure which blends real undersea life with your favorite fish friends from the movie. Now named The Seas with Nemo and Friends, the pavilion is a definite "must-sea" for kids and adults.
The Land, too, has been transformed from a very laid-back pavilion into perhaps the most popular stop in Future World. When The Land opened, it featured a food court and a boat ride which taught guests the benefits of alternative methods of growing food, including fish farming and hydroponics. The informative excursion remains popular and still offers interesting insight.
In 1982, there was a small theater in the pavilion which staged an Audio-Animatronics show called Kitchen Kabaret, which extolled the benefits of eating a healthy diet — who could forget the lyrics "Veggie fruit fruit ... veggie veggie fruit fruit"? After a few years, Kitchen Kabaret evolved into Food Rocks, another cute, if unspectacular "now eat your vegetables" stage show set to rock music.
But what followed Food Rocks would literally catapult The Land into "can't miss" status. Soarin', a virtual hang gliding experience brought to WDW as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth in 2005, is easily the most popular attraction in Epcot, with FastPass tickets usually gone very early in the day.
The Journey Into Imagination pavilion has always featured two attractions — a ride and a 3-D movie — but each has changed a number of times over the years. On the original ride, your host, a wise oldtimer named the Dreamfinder, and his impish sidekick Figment showed guests how all innovation comes from "one little spark." The ride, on the OmniMover system, was quite popular (especially among Figment's many fans) and when it was completely redone in the late 1990s (minus Dreamfinder and Figment), those fans staged a long, loud — and successful — protest. The ride was transformed again, this time with a more prominent Figment presence.
3-D movies shown in the pavilion's theater include "Magic Journeys," "Captain EO" (starring Michael Jackson and Anjelica Huston) and the current "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience." At the time, "Captain EO" was hailed as a 3-D breakthrough: Songs were written, produced and sung by Jackson, direction was by Francis Ford Coppola, choreograohy by Jeffrey Hornaday. The entire project was produced by George Lucas and Rusty Lemorande.
Disney recently announced that "Captain EO" would be returning for a limited engagement in Disneyland next month.
Horizons was a pleasant enough excursion into the future in a somewhat cramped gondola-type vehicle on a slow-moving track; during the ride, you looked down on a series of scenes populated with Audio-Animatronic figures, all showing a depiction of "new horizons" ahead. Among the many things to look forward to — holographic telephones and taking a gravity-free stroll in a free-floating space colony.
One of the scenes became a temporary home to the song "Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow" of Carousel of Progress fame. Near the end of the ride, guests were asked to choose, with the push of a button, what kind of future they'd like to experience -- in space, under the ocean or in a desert colony.
Horizons was torn down in 1999 and has been replaced by MISSION: Space. Of note, Horizons was sponsored by GE, the same folks who gave us the General Electric Progressland at the 1964-1965 World Fair as well as the GE Carousel of Progress in the Magic Kingdom.
World of Motion followed a tried-and-true format — the OmniMover ride system taking guests in vehicles through the history of transportation. Again, there were a number of Audio-Animatronic scenes, so close that they made you feel like you were actually part of the action. My favorite was the police officer on a old-fashioned motorcycle tucked behind a billboard waiting to catch speeders.
World of Motion closed in 1996 to make way for the current thrill ride, Test Track, which, when operating smoothly, is an exciting look into the world of automobile testing. But when the ride breaks down — which, unfortunately, is often — it can be a very frustrating look into the world of exasperated people.
The Wonders of Life pavilion remains on the property, although it's been closed for several years and is only opened for special occasions.
Finally, Millennium Village was a temporary pavilion set up during the turn of the 21st century, wedged behind Journey Into Imagination and the Canada pavilion. It opened in October of 1999 and shut down on Jan. 1, 2001.
Many countries were represented in the village, showing off their cultural and culinary specialties; some countries even incorporated rides into their presentations. Among the participants were India, Kenya, New Zealand, Indonesia, South Africa, Israel, Brazil and Chile.
Although shuttered most of the year, the Millennium Village building is used during Epcot's Food and Wine Festival.

Two vs. Three Bladed Prop
Sister Ships
The two bladed prop's, boat speed was derived from Garmin GPS - 12.
The engine RPM was obtained from a
with a 6mm sending unit on the #1 injector line.
The three bladed prop's, boat speed was derived from a GPS and verified by timing between marks. The engine speed was derived by monitoring the prop coupling RPM with a hand held optical tachometer similar to the
unit. The tach numbers were then multiplied by 2.14 to derive the engine RPM.
All work was done in calm waters with no wind. Note that just one foot waves can decrease top speed by 0.3 Knots.

text: COSTLY REQUESTS No one should be at all surprised that State Rep. Bob Skarphol is one of the lawmakers who have made open records requests to the state seeking information behind the ouster of former chancellor Hamid Shirvani. Skarphol, of Tioga, said he has made "a request or two," but wasn't responsible for all of the open records requests regarding emails pertaining the Shirvani debacle. The dozen requests are expected to generate more than 100,000 emails, and cost the state up to $40,000 to fulfill. We have no issue with open record requests, obviously. It's a necessary part of having an open form of government in this state. Skarphol was one of Shirvani's supporters during the ousted chancellor's year in office. What do he and other legislators hope to accomplish by searching through thousands of emails? Some legislators have said the requests are unnecessaray and frivolous, but the bottom line is Skarphol and others have the legal right to request the information. We believe they should answer questions as to their intent, although as citizens they don't have to do that. But as lawmakers, they have a duty to act responsibly and with the best interests of North Dakota in mind, rather than take part in a self-serving vendetta.

Caramel Banana Ravioli Bites
Thinly slice the banana into 24 pieces. Place pieces in a bowl and mash with a fork.
Scoop banana mash into Nasoya Won Ton Wraps. You can use any brand of won ton wraps, but I liked Nasoya because it is all natural, contains no MSG and I've grown to trust the brand, starting with its non-GMO organic tofu. Add one tsp of Amoretti Salted Caramel Icing to each wrap. Again, you can use any brand of icing but I recommend Amortetti because it's sweet but not sugary, as all the icings are flavored with real fruit and cold pressed juices.
Seal the won tons by folding the wrap diagonally so the opposite ends meet. Use water to seal.
Drop won tons into frying pan with Bertolli Extra Light Olive Oil and fry until golden brown on each side.
Place won tons on plate and top with maple syrup and powdered sugar.
Let your guests or yourself ENJOY!

HOLYOKE—The new presiding priest at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church hopes to strengthen the church community spiritually, in size and in outreach to the surrounding area.
The Rev. Michael C. Moody, 39, was installed in October by Metropolitan Methodios Tournas, spiritual leader of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Boston.
Moody replaces the Rev. Harry S. Vulopas who recently retired.
"We have a wonderful foundation laid by Father Harry so the parishioners see it as their privilege to serve and reach out," Moody said, addressing a question on how he will meet his goals as presiding priest, "proistamenos" in Greek.
"We have then a core group of committed volunteers. We are small so we try to be open, friendly and hospitable. People are known by name."
The church at 410 Main St. in Holyoke has 100 to 140 families and faces the challenges of limited parking, an economically challenged area, space for activities as a community and an aging population.
And like other churches, it is facing declining membership. To address this, Moody encourages generational worship. Though ideally families worship together, he said it is important to work within the dynamics of a family to ensure the faith continues within the family. For example, if parents are not taking their children to church, he encourages grandparents to take them.
"We want to make sure adults have the support to ensure they have some type of worship available to them," he added. Rather than berating families with noisy children, he calls it "the sound of a living church."
Also, working professional adults "have to be met where they are at and shown to interact intelligently with their faith," he said. "Faith is not a Sunday stand- alone but a comprehensive filter that should affect our worldview and daily life. Once young adults experience the reality of their faith and have an encounter with God, they tend to actively live based upon that."
In a world of multiculturalism, "people like to not be melted into one amorphous pot," Moody said, explaining that in the Greek Orthodox tradition, God takes a culture, baptizes it and transforms it. "So what has been transformed by God we honor," he said. "Hence for us Christ baptized, albeit never perfectly, the Hellenic culture. And so we are, in culture, Greek orthodox."
Culture is necessary, he continued. "Nothing germinates without it. It is our desire that orthodoxy will transplant into America and find full expression within it. As Christ said, he is the light of the world, and we desire to proclaim that. Thereby we can see an American orthodox culture emerge."
Although culture is important, he emphasized, "We don't preach culture, we preach Christ."
A native of Bangor, Maine, who was raised a Baptist, Moody earned a bachelor's degree in theology from Briercrest College in Caronport, Saskatchewan, and a master of divinity degree from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline; he was the 2010 salutatorian.
He was ordained in 2009 as a deacon, and in 2010 as a priest Sts. Constantine and Helen Church in Cambridge.
Moody served as a U.S. Army chaplain in Afghanistan from 2010-11 and as a lay teacher as a Baptist for several years prior to reception into the Orthodox Church in 2000. He is a battalion chaplain for the 181st Infantry Unit out of Worcester.
Moody and his wife, Victoria, live in South Hadley; they have four children.

Mercy Medical Center's Sister Caritas Cancer Center has added a highly advanced radiation system to its cancer treatment options that lessens the time needed for the therapy and allows clinicians to treat tumors more accurately, said Dr. B. Catherine Carton, medical director at the cancer center.
Besides a speedier process, the Elekta Infinity technology uses a unique system of targeting the tumors directly with a dose of radiation while lessening the impact on surrounding healthy tissue. With a shorter window needed to administer the radiation, there is less likelihood the patient will move while on the table, thus creating more precise treatment, Carton said.
"This is suited to conformally targeting the tumor. Because the machine moves faster in a much shorter time you can do it all with the patient in the position you want," she said. "There is much greater delivery of an accurate treatment without any movement."
The Elekta Infinity technology, which features 3-D imaging, would be used to treat certain cancers, including prostate, lung, brain and pancreatic and cancers of the head and neck.
Another advantage of the new system, Carton said, is that a CT scan is integrated into the treatment machine to assist in identifying the precise location of the tumor and the normal surrounding tissues right before treatment begins. Prior to the CT scan implementation, fields were verified with conventional X-rays.
Elekta Infinity technology incorporates what is known as Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, which irradiates the target area while the source of the beam moves around the patient in an arc. Inside the head of the machine are blocking devices which shape to the specific tumor and the shape of it changes as it goes around in a moving arc.
"We've transferred from very static radiation treatment to dynamic treatment. It's constantly moving around the patient so we've distributed the dose to minimize exposure to normal tissue, focusing on targeting the tumor," she said.
As the beam of radiation moves around the patient, its intensity can change throughout the treatment field to minimize the impact to healthy tissues. As an example, Carton said if the Elekta Infinity technology was treating the pancreas it would have to go through some of the liver and stomach. But because the intensity of the beam can change with the arc therapy, it creates a less intensive beam when it is near the liver and stomach.
The treatment is delivered in less than five minutes as opposed to the more conventional radiation treatments that take anywhere from 10 minutes or up to 25 minutes in some cases, such as for prostate cancer, Carton said.
"The advances in technology have been phenomenal over the last several decades. I don't think anywhere have we been able to put these to use more than in radiation oncology because we're a very technical field," she said.
