"The Bachelorette" Week 7 Recap
Well Des has picked her final four and she will be meeting all of their families next week! After last night, I think she does have the strongest feelings for Brooks but she is developing strong feelings for Drew and Chris as well.
Who else was excited to see Catherine, Jackie and Lesley? I am so glad that Des had some girl time. It looked like she really needed that. I loved watching them check out the guys in binoculars. And I liked how Des talked about each of the guys. You could tell she was just glowing and SO happy! We are rooting for you Des!
Brooks and Des had a picture perfect date. They were sitting in the clouds literally (it was the coolest date ever). They are very comfortable with each other and thing are easy between them. He seems very grounded and I find him so handsome. I like that both of them can just be themselves around one another. When you are watching them it looks like they have been together for a long time. I am a little nervous that she has such strong feelings for him and he seems a little hesitant about his. I hope that she doesn't end up getting hurt by him in the end. I don't think that Brooks would deliberately try to hurt her but if he isn't on the same page as her (she even said she is "running" in her analogy and he said he was "jogging") then it is going to lead to problems. I am excited to see how she fits in with his family though. From the promo though it looks like they are tons of fun! Team Brooks!
Chris is such a genuine, nice guy. They have a very strong connection but I think that he may be a little too shy for her. I think Des is a very strong woman and she needs someone to have more of a back bone. It was so sweet hearing them share that poem together and my heart melted when Chris told her that he loves her. Chris reminds me so much of Chris Lambton and I know I keep saying that. But I swear they are like twins. Both are good looking, all around good guys. You can tell that he has a big heart and he is really honest and just serious about this whole process. He was so scared to tell her how he felt; I mean the guy was seriously sweating. But I think Des appreciated him being open with her and letting his guard down. I just hope she doesn't break his heart.
Michael finally had his first one-on-one date of the season. I can't help but be a little harsh about him (sorry, you have to read me vent). But I don't see the attraction or the connection between him and Des. I find him annoying and a know it all. I just don't like him. Their date was pretty standard and to me the whole date screamed friends. He was trying so hard throughout the date and it was too fake! I really don't understand how he has stuck around for so long but I am glad that she isn't going to his hometown! I think all of America knew at the end of the date that he was the one that was going to be sent home.
The two-on-one date was a lot of fun. I like both Zak and Drew so I was curious to see who she would choose to give the rose to. Now the rose was extremely important at this particular date because whoever received the rose was a shoe-in for a hometown date. Zak is so funny! I just love his personality and he just gives off such positive energy. I like that he can make Des laugh ALL the time. He is growing on me more and more. Drew is clearly very good looking but he is a little boring. I think he is a nice guy as well but I'm not sure how much spark they have. I think Des likes how good looking he is and that he is a sensitive guy. I'm surprised how hard he fell for her and that he was so open about sharing that with her. I was also a little surprised she gave the rose to him because I'm not sure I see a spark like she has with Brooks or Chris. I guess we will have to wait and see if she ends up with him. I would say if he doesn't win, he may be the next bachelor. BUT is he too goody-goody? What do you guys think?
The rose ceremony wasn't as intense as the others (I loved her dress though, I WANT) because I think we all knew that Michael was going home. I felt bad for him at the end. I can't believe he called his mother right away and broke down in tears. But I mean bottom line is Des didn't see a future with him. I wish Michael all the best even though I wasn't a huge fan. How many times do you think Jimmy Kimmel and The Soup are going to make fun of that limo ride? Yikes, poor guy!
Hometown dates are up next! I am already counting down the minutes to them! I cannot wait to see how Des fits in with each of the guy's families. Who will she see a future with? And how much will each of their families impact her decision? Make sure to watch next Monday for the BEST, most anticipated episode of the season.
Also, make sure to check back on kitv.com for a preview of next Monday's episode!

Turning Snapshots Into Works of Art
Post: #1
Turning Snapshots Into Works of Art
Alien Skin Software's Snap Art is a plug-in that works with various PC- and Mac-based image editing programs, offering sophisticated functions and features. Installation is easy, and the utilities can be customized to a great degree; however, the zoom function could have been more intuitively designed.
Giving digital images an artful twist isn't anything new in the computer world, but leave it to Alien Skin Software to take the technique to another level of elegance.
For those of you unfamiliar with Alien Skin, the company makes high-quality plug-ins for PC and Macintosh image editing programs.
There are more than a few companies that do what Alien Skin does, but in my experience, nobody does what they do better. That's been proven again in their latest offering, Snap Art (US$149).
Snap Art is designed to work with PC and Macintosh versions of Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE) Photoshop CS and Photoshop Elements 4, as well as Corel (Nasdaq: CORL) Paint Shop Pro XI for Windows. I use Ulead PhotoImpact 8 and the plug-in worked fine with that program, too.
Customization Cornucopia
Installation of the software was, appropriately enough, a snap. You run the installation program, find the plug-in folder for your image editing software and install Snap Art's goodies there. The next time you launch your image editing program, you'll find Snap Art's filters under the menu item where you access plug-ins. In PhotoImpact 8, for example, that menu item is "Effects."
Like much image-to-art software, Snap Art's palette contains the usual suspects -- colored pencil, comics, impasto, oil paint, pastel, painting, pencil sketch, pointillism and watercolor -- and a not-so-usual feature called "stylize."
Unlike much image-to-art software, however, each artistic style contains numerous "presets." Each preset can be tweaked in numerous ways. In other words, you can drive yourself dizzy fiddling with the customization features incorporated into each style.
For example, say you wanted to apply the comic book style to a photo. You'd choose the appropriate item from the menu bar of your image editing program and the Snap Art window would be displayed.
The window has three panes. Stacked on the left side of the window, is a pane for customizing a style's effects and a pane for listing custom settings saved by you.
Color, Lighting Controls
The customization pane is organized into five tabs.
A "settings" tab lists the presets for the style you're working in. In the Comics style, those settings include newspapers, pop art, black and white and ink shading. All said, there are 28 presets available for this style.
The remaining tabs on the pane can be used to modify the presets.
The "basic" tab will give you control over whether you want the comic effect to be in color or black and white, what kind of shading pattern you'd like to see, as well as control over edge strength, half-toning and posterization.
The "colors" tab gives you control over saturation, contrast and brightness.
The "canvas" tab lets you choose the thickness of your virtual canvas, as well as choosing its texture. Among the textures available in the comics style are wood, leather, brick wall and parchment.
The "lighting" tab allows you to change the direction and inclination of the lighting in the style as well as the brightness, size and color of its highlights.
Broaden Your Horizons
To the right of the stacked panes, two copies of your ptolledhotograph are displayed. There's a thumbnail of the original, and below that you'll find a preview of what the image will look as you apply a style to it.
The preview image can be split in several ways. Splitting the image allows you to see a portion of both of the original and the stylized image in the preview pane.
That pane also contains tools for toggling between the original and stylized images, moving an image around within the preview pane and a zoom tool for increasing and decreasing the size of the preview image.
I didn't find the zoom tool very intuitive to work with, so I use the keyboard shortcuts instead. Control-minus-key makes the preview image smaller and control-plus-key makes the image larger.
At its price, Snap Art isn't a tool for dabblers, but it really can widen the creative horizons for advanced and professional image makers.

ARP2075402 - ARP Main Cap Stud Kit-Mitsubishi-2.6L
This product may require vehicle validation(s) for proper fitment. Please contact us to confirm correct vehicle fitment and usage.
ARP Main Stud Kits
There are many important reasons to use ARP main stud kits, including the elimination of cap walk and fretting, as well as protecting the threads in your engine block. These studs are manufactured in our own facility using the best materials, processes, designs and engineering. Every ARP main stud kit exceeds the most stringent aerospace specifications. All kits come complete with hardened parallel ground washers and aerospace quality nuts. Some applications have provisions for mounting windage trays, and have specially designed stand-offs with serrated lock nuts to position the windage tray and lock it securely in place. The studs are manufactured from 8740 Chrome-Moly steel, and heat treated in house to 200,000 psi tensile strength, and precision J-Form threads rolled after heat treat to create a fastener that has threads 1000% stronger than others. Don't settle for anything less than the best! Insist on genuine ARP studs- you'll find our name stamped right on the end.
Studs Vs. Bolts
ARP recommends the use of main studs over bolts whenever possible for several key reasons. First is the ability to obtain more accurate torque readings because studs don't "twist' in the block. All clamping forces are on the same axis. By the same token, there is less force exerted on the block threads, which contributes to improved block life (very crucial on aluminum blocks). Finally there are factors of easier engine assembly and proper alignment of caps every time.
Important Note:
On any main stud application, Threads in block must be cleaned with a 'chasing' type of thread tap, studs must be loctited in block and torqued to ARP specs. (with proper ARP lubricant) before the loctite hardens. At this point the BLOCK MUST BE ALIGN HONED

BSC Alerts
News & Events
Bluefield State College
Board of Governors
April 15, 2004
Members Present: Mr. John Barnes (via conference phone), Mr. Norris Kantor, Dr. Frank Ball, Mr. Michael Hanna, Mr. Daniel Frost, Mr. Jack Caffrey, Mr. Jeff Forlines, Dr. Lyn Guy, Ms. Ann Crowe, Dr. Louis Aikens
Members Absent: Mr. Jack Stafford, The Reverend Garry Moore
Guests/Staff: Dr. Albert Walker, Mr. Jim Nelson, Mrs. Shelia Johnson, Dr. Tom Eaves, Dr. David Perkins, Dr. Felica Blanks, Mr. Bruce Mutter, and Mrs. Vivian Sidote
Mr. Kantor noted that Mr. Barnes, chair was not able to attend the meeting in person, but would participate via conference phone. As vice chair, Mr. Kantor presided over the meeting.
Approval of Minutes
Mr. Kantor asked for approval of the minutes of March 18, 2004. Dr. Frank Ball mentioned that he was listed as present during the March meeting, and should have been listed as absent. With no other corrections, the minutes were approved.
Graduation Announcement
Dr. Walker announced that commencement exercises will be held on May 15 at 10 a.m. in the Shott Gymnasium. Dr. Walker announced that the College will combine the awarding of degrees into one commencement program. He asked Board members who wish to take part in commencement to supply information regarding cap & gown sizes needed. He also said a letter would be sent to all Board members, providing parking permits and additional information about the ceremony. A reception in the Harris-Jefferson Student Center will be held immediately after commencement.
Memorandum from Bruce Walker
Mr. Kantor mentioned the memorandum from Higher Education Policy Commission legal counsel Bruce Walker that delineates certain changes that came about as a result of the implementation of SB 448. He directed Board members' attention to specific items--1) a reduction, from 9 to 8, in the number of lay members serving on the Boards of each college that has an administratively-linked community & technical college and 2) the provision whereby the chair of the advisory board of each administratively-linked community & technical college (which will become a governing board when the community & technical college achieves institutional accreditation) will become an ex-officio, voting member of the baccalaureate institution's governing board. The impact of the second provision mentioned would not reduce the size of the BSC governing board at this time, but, in 2005 (when the terms of three current Board members expire) the Governor would appoint only two individuals to those positions, with the other position to be
held by the chair of the board of the administratively-linked community & technical college.
Those colleges that have an administratively-linked community & technical college must appoint a four-person subcommittee to interact with the community & technical college with which the baccalaureate college is associated. Mr. Barnes volunteered to serve on this subcommittee.
New River Community & Technical College
Dr. Perkins reported that the NRCTC commencement would be held on Sunday, May 16 at 2 p.m. at Tamarack.
There was discussion concerning NRCTC policies and series D that were approved for Bluefield State College and have been adopted. It was requested that the Board approve all policies and series D for NRCTC. A motion was made and seconded (FBall/LGuy) to approve for NRCTC all policies that where approved for Bluefield State College. Motion carried.
Dr. Perkins said the most recent New River accreditation steering committee meeting was well attended and was a really good program. He said the next major assignment involves conducting an institutional self-study. Dr. Perkins turned the meeting over to Dr. Felica Blanks who gave a short report. She indicated that the accreditation leadership team would be meeting on Thursday, April 22 . She said SB448 provided an extension of time within which the institution was permitted to receive accreditation, and she also noted that one of the primary objectives now would be to revise timelines for the self-study process. Dr. Blanks introduced Dr. Mindy Maher who discussed an accreditation-related survey that was administered to faculty and staff. This survey will also be given to students.
There was considerable discussion concerning the diplomas that students will receive from New River Community & Technical College. Mr. Frost indicated that he had some students voice concern to him that New River Community & Technical College is not accredited and observed that those students indicated they did not want to graduate from NRCTC. Dr. Perkins said that the diplomas would read New River Community & Technical College of Bluefield State College, and because NRCTC is administratively-linked to BSC, the programs are accredited. Mr. Frost then asked whether students graduating in December would receive the same option. Dr. Perkins said he was not prepared to give an answer at this time, but added that he would discuss the matter with the appropriate offices and report back to this Board.
Virtual College & Technology
Internet Radio
Dr. Tom Blevins introduced Mr. Bill Bennett and Mr. Jerry Connor who gave a presentation on the College's audio streaming, web-based broadcast station.
Records Management
Dr. Tom Blevins noted that the records management policy that was approved will become effective immediately. He said this will permit material to be preserved in a way that enhances the historical information continuity of the Institution. He also said this policy allows the President to appoint a records manager, adding that Peggy Turnbull, College Archivist, will serve in this capacity.
Data Ports
Dr. Blevins indicated that equipment is being installed in the Hardway Library to accommodate students' laptop computers and permit connection with the College network.
Financial and Administrative Affairs
Installation of a Bluefield campus fire alarm system is progressing and is now 85% completed. This fire alarm system in Mahood Hall, the Ned Shott P.E. Building, Conley Hall and the Hardway Library has a cost of $340,000. Installation should be completed by May 31.
Mahood Hall
Shelia noted that the College is awaiting a donor's commitment to provide financial support for the Mahood Hall student housing project.
Dickason Hall
Work is nearly completed on refinishing the exterior of Dickason Hall.
The College has entered into a contract for upgrading the elevator system in the Basic Science Building.
Easley Bridge
Shelia discussed developments related to negotiations regarding a covering for the hallway leading to the tunnel under Rt. 52.
An amount of $160 million for West Virginia higher education bonding initiatives has been approved. This will be financed from state lottery funds. Changes have been made that have altered the original projects priority list approved by the BSC Board of Governors and HEPC. The new list includes funds for a roadway upgrade from the "pit" parking lot to the Student Center, as well as a project to provide ADA-approved access from the Hardway Library to Hatter Hall, along with the purchase of a building in Summersville. The project list also added $2 million for equipment to be used in the new Higher Education Center in Beckley and removed $1 million from BSC for road projects. She is awaiting word on the projects list after it is finalized.
Ms. Johnson distributed material on the state's higher education institutions' budget for the coming fiscal year, and reviewed each page. There was considerable discussion concerning the appropriations split between Bluefield State College and New River Community & Technical College.
Tuition and Fees
Ms. Johnson distributed a list of tuition and fees for BSC. There was discussion concerning tuition and fee simplification. A motion was made and seconded (DFrost/FBall) to seek an increase in tuition of 1 ½ % (beyond the HEPC-approved amount) as permitted by regulations. Motion carried.
Academic and Student Affairs
Dr. Eaves distributed a document that listed all BSC program accreditations. He asked that the Board of Governors to approve the internal reviews for all of the programs. Mr. Frost mentioned a concern about the College's RBA program. He said he would like to see it continued, but he disagreed with the last four words, "current level of activity" referring to the program. He said the RBA program is not being utilized as well as it should be. He said it costs BSC nothing other than advertisement. He said he had eight military veterans who became frustrated by their inability to obtain information and pursue admission into the program. They finally decided to leave. He said his program director offered to hire an instructor to help teach a portfolio writing class to facilitate the process for individuals seeking to enter the program. Dr. Don Smith was introduced and gave a brief synopsis of what he has done to increase RBA enrollment. Dr. Smith also explained that the program review contained recommendations for improvement. A motion was made and seconded (LGuy/FBall) to approve all program reviews. Motion carried.
Legislative Update
Mr. Jim Nelson asked the Board to provide input and direction regarding the initiatives that could move the College into a less precarious position during the 2005 legislative session. He suggested that these initiatives could be advocated through establishing and utilizing a strong coalition with legislators supportive of the College.
Mr. Nelson said he is working with Dr. Walker's cabinet and members of the media to develop a very active and aggressive multimedia campaign that will begin during the week of May 3 - May 9. This campaign will have the primary objectives of thanking residents of the region for their support of BSC, while concurrently promoting enrollment in the College's summer session classes.
Mr. Nelson is working with John Cardwell, Director of Enrollment Management, to draft a letter that will be sent to all current students, providing information designed to encourage them to continue pursuit of their higher educational goals at BSC.

Opera Review: Blame the champagneBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | January 29,2013MONTREAL Television and theater have no monopoly on frothy and hilarious comedy, with slapstick, double entendres and ribald humor.
Die Fledermaus, or The Bat, the worlds most popular operetta, by Johann Strauss II, has all that in spades as well as glorious and memorable music. The Opéra de Montréal opened a hilarious, well-sung and imaginatively created production Saturday at Place des Arts Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier that took the action to Montreals posh neighborhoods. Charmingly, it was performed in French and English with super-titles in both languages giving it an even more authentic feel. The plot, in the libretto by Carl Haffner and Richard Genée, is pretty silly, but its a perfect setup for all sorts of fun. Dr. Falke wants revenge for last years New Years Eve costume party, when Gabriel left him, drunk and passed out, on a park bench, still in his bat costume a laughingstock for all to see.
At home, Gabriel is preparing to spend eight days in jail for insulting a judge. His wife, Rosaline, is holding off her lover, the singing teacher Alfred, until Gabriel leaves. Adele, the maid, receives a letter from her aunt inviting her to Prince Orlofskys party that night and promptly claims to her mistress that her aunt is dying and she needs the night off. Rosaline receives an invitation too, so is only too happy to acquiesce.
Gabriel, spirited off by Falke to said party, tells his wife hes headed to jail. When the head jailer, Frank, arrives, he mistakes Alfred for Gabriel and carts him off. Now that the coast is clear, Rosaline and Adele separately sneak off to the party. And thats just the first of the three acts.
Of course, Prince Orlofskys party is a masked ball, so anything can and does happen. When all is said and done, it can be blamed on the champagne.
Montreals production, though not perfect, was a hoot. Elegantly set in Art Deco by Richard Roberts, Oriol Tomas staging blended the comedy with elegance that, despite some overly silly moments, proved hilarious. Lavish party costumes by Angus Strathie, though mixed in periods, rounded out the comedy.
Conducting by Thomas Vernon, founding artistic director of Opera Pacifica Victoria, was effective but lacked effervescence. Still, the precision and expertise of the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal delivered the rich score in all its brilliant colors.
The all-Canadian cast proved fine, particularly the women. Soprano Caroline Bleau, despite some minor pitch problems, had great presence and delivered some powerful moments as Rosaline. Soprano Marianne Lambert was brilliant and funny as the naughty Adele. Mezzo-soprano Emma Parkinson, too, had real presence in the trouser role of Prince Orlofsky.
Rich-voiced baritone Dominique Coté sang beautifully as Falke and was lots of fun. Tenor Marc Hervieux, who appeared at the Vermont International Opera Festival, Green Mountain Operas predecessor, sang well but lacked theatrical presence. Tenor Thomas Macleay sang with lyrical beauty as Alfred but also lacked comic presence.
A special treat was a rich and ribald performance, as the partys entertainment, by soprano Chantale Nurse, joined by her Chippendale-like dancers.
Opéra de Montréals Die Fledermaus was simply great fun set to some glorious music.
Opéra de Montréal
The Opéra de Montréal presents Die Fledermaus, by Johann Strauss II, at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29, 31 and Feb. 2 at Place des Arts Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier in Montreal. The production is fully staged, with the Montreal Symphony conducted by Timothy Vernon, and sung in French and English with English and French super-titles. Tickets are $50-$150 Canadian (with discounts for ages 18-30); call 877-385-2222 or go online to www.operademontreal.com.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt.

school students took the 2004 Advanced Placement (AP) tests
and the state saw marked improvement in their scores. According
to a statewide report released today by the Illinois State
Board of Education a record 73,150 AP tests were taken by
college-bound seniors with almost two-thirds of them scoring
at the 3 to 5 levels to receive college
But, more interesting is the research noted by the College
Board which administers the test and reveals the number of
students who could be taking AP courses and the tests, and
be headed for college.
Our AP numbers are excellent! said State Superintendent
of Education Robert Schiller. But according to research,
at least 10 times the number of students currently taking
AP courses, and achieving credit, could be added if provided
guidance and access. So, Illinois and other states could do
even better.
Overall African-American participation in AP tests was slightly
down and almost flat (-.5%); Hispanic participation was up
7.1%; Asian participation was up 8.5% and American Indian
was down 12.7%
What were seeing is that in the past AP courses
were viewed as part of gifted programs or for gifted students,
said Schiller. Instead, we need to view these programs
as offering the type of rigorous courses that both challenge
as well as prepare students for college work.
The AP results were released along with the annual SAT results
which once again increased statewide as Illinois students
outperformed their counterparts across the nation. The mathematics
score for Illinois public and non-public high school graduates
was 77 points higher than the national average. At 585, the
this years score was 2 points higher than last year.
In the verbal section Illinois students averaged at 597, or
79 points higher than the national average and one point higher
than last year.
We are pleased that yet another set of tests results
confirms that Illinois is, and has been, on the right track,
said Schiller. The results, state and national, once
again confirm that those students who follow a core curriculum
of study are better prepared for these exams and for college.
The SAT results once again increased statewide as Illinois

two points higher than last year.
According to the report, SAT participation by minorities
at public and nonpublic schools was also up. African-American
participation was up 4.2%; Hispanic participation went up
11.2%; American Indian up 37.5% and Asian participation was
up 2.2%

October 2, 2013 —
Now is the time when you will likely see furry caterpillars, black with an orange stripe in the middle, crossing roads or sidewalks. These are the much celebrated "woolly bears," or the larvae of the Isabella tiger moth. There are two generations of wooly bear caterpillars per year, and the second generation overwinters in logs or under bark. Most of the caterpillars seen in the fall are on a quest to find a suitable overwintering location.
Legend has it that woolly bears can predict the harshness of the coming winter; if the central orange band is narrow on a woolly bear, the coming winter will be harsh. In 1948, Dr. C.H. Curran, curator of insects at the American Museum of Natural History, started an eight-year experiment in which he counted orange and black segments of woolly bears in Bear Mountain State Park, NY. He found a rough correlation between wide bands and mild winters, but realized himself that the number of sampled larvae in his experiment was small. Further studies by entomologists have shown that band size varies by age and instar (molt) of the caterpillar.
There are many similar caterpillars that can be seen in the fall. They are part of the arctiidae family, which is characterized by hairy caterpillars. The milkweed tussock moth is an easily spotted example.
Woolly bears are not harmful if touched, but some arctiids, such as the Hickory Tussock Moth larva, have bristles that can inject toxin into the skin if handled; burning, itching, or worse will follow if you contact one of these critters. Most woolly bear look-alikes overwinter as caterpillars. Take a look at the images to see a few of this fall's hairy caterpillars.

New Vt. publisher goes green
Since earning a literature degree from Middlebury College 35 years ago, Dede Cummings rose through the ranks to senior book designer at the prestigious Little, Brown and Company and returned to Vermont to freelance her skills for such acclaimed authors as poet Mary Oliver and novelist Thomas Pynchon.
I was working for other publishers, the Brattleboro resident says, and then I realized I know how to do a lot of this why not do it myself?
Thats when Cummings, a climate activist in addition to everything else, decided to start Green Writers Press, a new Vermont imprint aiming to spread the states environmental ethos globally.
In todays world of social media and online transactions, she writes on greenwriterspress.com, we remember that your head and your heart need nourishment from the natural world. With that as our credo, we embark on a journey to bring the beauty of the published book as a tactile object into the homes and hands of our readers, and we also embrace the technology of tablet and ebook publishing.
Seeking to preserve and protect natural resources, Green Writers Press is using only recycled paper, soy-based inks and a local, family-owned printer (Windsor Countys Springfield Printing Corporation), all while giving a percentage of its proceeds to such causes as the grass-roots climate-crisis group 350.org.
We could just be another publishing company, Cummings says, but we have to walk the walk.
She has company in the dozens of prominent writers and photographers lining up to assist her, as seen in the imprints new book So Little Time: Words and Images for a World in Climate Crisis.
The 206-page paperback features an opening by Vermont environmental writer John Elder and closing by fellow Addison County author and activist Bill McKibben. In between, Saint Michaels College poet-in-residence Greg Delanty offers work from himself and nearly 70 colleagues illustrated by more than two dozen photographers, starting with Mariana Cook, the last surviving protege of Ansel Adams.
The only thing more impressive than the lineup: The fact that everyone contributed to the book for free.
Take Robin MacArthur, a Marlboro writer and half of the A Prairie Home Companion-favorite musical duo Red Heart the Ticker. She called Cummings to express interest. Now shes a fellow editor.
Or Middlebury College writer-in-residence Julia Alvarez, who penned a special poem, Vermont is the New Florida. (We made lemonade out of the lemons, one line reads, now growing in the old apple orchards.)
Or Northeast Kingdom novelist Howard Frank Mosher, whos offering a short story for a coming contemporary Vermont fiction anthology.
Or fellow regional writer Leland Kinsey, wholl present an entire collection of new poems titled Winter Ready (alas, not until spring).
For Cummings and colleagues, Green Writers Press is a way to address climate concerns without scaring off readers weary of deep science or dark statistics.
Environmentalists long ago won the scientific battle, but we needed to reach peoples hearts as well, McKibben says on the cover of So Little Time. This superb volume will do exactly that.
Early reviews are encouraging. Publishers Weekly calls it a book of eloquent testimony, in poetry and image, to the mystery and beauty immanent in nature, now so desperately imperiled. Like all art, it asks that we look up and see.
So Little Time is set for national release Feb. 11 but now is available to Vermonters who order through their local bookstores. Green Writers Press also is preparing almost a dozen coming titles, soliciting potential works and exploring printing on organic hemp and other plant-based materials.
I see that rather than just go along with business as usual, its time for a change, Cummings says. What the localvore movement did for the food industry, we want to be for publishing.

Before reading, please note that today is not April 1.
A week after deciding to become a free agent, the Phillies have re-signed infielder Michael Martinez to a minor-league contract according to Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish. Since being acquired by the Phillies as a Rule 5 draft pick before the 2011 season, Martinez has hit .187/.234/.261 in 396 PA.
Martinez has played all three outfield positions, as well as second, third, and short for the Phillies. FanGraphs indicates Martinez has cost the Phillies one and a half wins over the last three seasons while playing only slightly positive defense according to UZR.
Analysis: Why, why, why? Martinez, at 31, is not getting any younger, and there are plenty of younger and, more importantly better, utility players.
27 Comments
No word can express how mad I am right now. They really RE-signed probably the worst player in Major League Baseball, albeit a minor league contract, he'll get called anyway up to void someone who deserves a shot.
Really Ruben? Really…
RAJ is officially trolling us.
Holy hell.
What else is new with our GM?
Mini-Mart…..really? Ruben is certainly joking. Or maybe he is serious. Maybe Mini-Mart is a critical part of Ruben's larger rebuilding plan that includes playing him at 2nd base moving Utley to 1st base, with MIni-Mart hitting cleanup.
One never knows what lurks in the heart and mind of Ruben Amaro.
Sorry, I can't muster the required indignation.
Why God, WHY????
Apparently He has a twisted sense of humor.
Ideally it's a minor league contract. If it's anything more than the league minimum it's a waste.
i used to think all the RAJ bashers were just bitter, but now I know where they're coming from. this is the worst move ever, maybe he can get a-rod too, hell why not offer barry bonds a deal as well
Which made me think of something funny.
What if it turns out that Mini Mart has been taking performance-enhancing drugs all this time?
Lol good point on the PEDs. If so than his true talent level may be no better than a really talented fan.
Or no better than my dog, Louie, who is a better fielder than Mini… and could probably challenge Mini's numbers at the plate if Louie wasn't preoccupied with chewing on the bat.
Even for minor league depth im sure they could have done better least someone with a little more upside. Rube must be still thinking Mini is going to break through at any moment. While anything is possible i would rather take my chances elsewhere.
If there was any doubt about whether Martinez has pictures or some dirt on Amaro, I think this pretty much confirms that.
I just hope no farm animals were injured in the making of this resigning.
Doesn't show on the Phillies transaction page yet. Lets hope this "source" isn't reputable.
I got it. Charlie Manuel will be brought back as a special assistant in charge of only coaching and dealing with MiniMart.
Someone said it a long time ago on here…he has PICTURES of RAJ somewhere.
"mary mart" as I like to call him.
This should be the final straw that gets that incompetent GM of ours fired, BUT IT WON'T BE.
This is a nearly meaningless move which will make no difference in whether the Phils are competitive in either 2014 or the long term. It may be indicative of larger issues in player evaluation in the organization, but while there are many reasons one could point to for firing Amaro, this particular signing would not be one.
In any case, it's not clear that he is signed yet: http://www.thegoodphight.com/2013/10/18/4852110/michael-martinez-not-on-phillies
Wait for confirmation. Two sources????
Signed or not signed?
Who cares. If he's on a minor league deal, he's not clogging up the 40 man roster; and although he could conceivably take ABs from some other minor league dud, he also could be released if he gets in the way, and the team wouldn't lose much cash.
If he hasn't actually been inked, I'm sure that another basically worthless player can be signed to strike out instead. A, AA, and AAA are full of them, and some of them can't even field, either.
Man, you folks don't see the big picture… Trade BaiT in the bag. 🙂
This was False…MLB trade rumors updated the post hours ago and apologized…..THANK GOD right?
Amaro actually has some brain cells after all
I may not renew my season tickets based on this alone.
If they resign him, it just illustrates they truly don't care about the fans.
Article is false mini-mart was not resigned

PITTSBURGH, PA (April 23, 2008) — Allegheny County Airport Authority Executive Director Bradley D. Penrod, AAE, has been selected by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to be a member of the National Task Force to Develop Model Contingency Plans to Deal with Lengthy Airline On-Board Ground Delays.
With the busy summer travel season around the corner, thunderstorms are often the cause of ground delays in many cases stranding passengers in aircraft on the tarmac. The Allegheny County Airport Authority has made helping passengers a top priority and is working toward a solution to this problem on the task force.
"With summer approaching, we want to have concrete recommendations that the US Department of Transportation can move forward on. Weather cannot be controlled and unexpected incidents can cause delays. Therefore, model contingency plans are important. Airlines, airports, air traffic control, we all need to work together to make the system more responsive to travelers," stated Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director/CEO, Allegheny County Airport Authority.
The task force is reviewing incidents involving long, on-board ground delays and their causes and will recommend workable solutions for minimizing the impact of these delays for the on-board passengers. Task Force members represent a cross-section of the agencies, organizations, and individuals that deal with lengthy tarmac delays, including airlines, airports, pilots, associations, and the government. The first meeting was held in February and the second meeting is schedule for later this month in Washington, DC.
Some measures underway by the DOT include:
Pittsburgh International Airport often is tapped to accept diverted flights from the congested east coast airports during inclement weather, primarily due to its excellent airfield configuration, its high quality air traffic control services and its success record of keeping the airport open during periods of heavy snow or rain.
"Pittsburgh International Airport is well positioned to be designated as a focal point to accommodate irregular operations for airlines and air traffic," said Penrod. "This is an excellent opportunity to assist in improving the level of customer service to the traveling public."

Mouth Off2 of 18
By ELLE
Despite her composure on ELLE's cover, the Hunger Games star admits she needs to work on saying whatever comes to her mind. "I never know what's going to come out of my mouth, and it's horrible. I don't find it positive in any way. When I get older, I'll be more mature and poised. And I'll have control over my mouth. One day, I'm going to grow up…When we leave, I'm going to have a knot in my stomach. I'm going to be like, 'Oh, did I say something wrong? I'm going to get in trouble!'"
ON ELLE: Before the Games: Jennifer Lawrence
Iconic Inspiration3 of 18
The shoot reflected old Hollywood icons like bathing beauty Esther Williams, seen here. Lawrence channeled the theme quite nicely, despite her commitment to a decided non-glam lifestyle. "Ten million dollars and I'm still living in my parents' condo…I've always lived in a tiny rat-infested apartment in New York, or a little condo in L.A., or a normal house in Kentucky," she told ELLE. "I think it would be very bizarre to live in a big mansion by myself."
Hot Bod4 of 18
Lawrence has an enviably toned physique, but don't expect her to follow the Hollywood waif trend. "I'm never going to starve myself for a part… I don't want little girls to be like, 'Oh, I want to look like Katniss, so I'm going to skip dinner,'" she told ELLE. "That's something I was really conscious of during training, when you're trying to get your body to look exactly right. I was trying to get my body to look fit and strong—not thin and underfed."
Bathing Beauty5 of 18
Dressed in Dolce & Gabbana, Narciso Rodriguez, and Alaïa, Lawrence's beauty look paired bold red lips with sun-kissed skin, radiating cool, contemporary poolside glamour.
SHOP NOW: Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Lip Color, $34; NARS Body Glow, $59
Taming Tresses6 of 18
Hairstylist David Babaii amped up Lawrence's natural waves with IT&LY Purity Design Pure Texture, then shifted gears to a wet-hair look by cocktailing leave-in conditioner and hydrating serum.
Two of a Kind7 of 18
On her relationship with British actor Nicholas Hoult:
"[My boyfriend] is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I'm his best friend too. He's my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody…We can eat Cheetos and watch beach volleyball and we turn into two perverted Homer Simpsons, like, 'Oh, she's got a nice ass.' I never thought we'd have such different opinions on asses."
Pretty Young Thing8 of 18
Back in 2008, Lawrence's look was totally casual, wearing demin and flip-flops on the red carpet.
All Grown Up9 of 18
Just two short years later, the Winter's Bone star arrived at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in an attention-getting Oscar de la Renta dress set off by black accessories.
Slip Away10 of 18
Lawrence went for a more subdued (but still sexy) look with this satin-and-lace nightie-esque dress.
Lady in Red11 of 18
At the 2011 Academy Awards, the actress wowed in a clingy Calvin Klein Collection gown that showed off her shape.
Short & Sweet12 of 18
Lawrence was a quick study in Hollywood style. By March 2011, she hit Paris Fashion Week, wearing a red mini-dress with architectural sleeves.
Give It a Whirl13 of 18
Lawrence played peekaboo in this blue cutout dress from designer Viktor & Rolf.
Gold Rush14 of 18
At the Los Angeles Hunger Games premiere, Lawrence shined in a gold Prabal Gurung gown.
Bringing Sexy Back15 of 18
In Paris, Lawrence proved she looks as stunning from the back as she does from the front in this sophisticated Tom Ford dress.
Going for Baroque16 of 18
While doing publicity in New York, Lawrence once again wore Prabal Gurung.
Hats Off17 of 18
Showing she's mastered the art of dressing down, Lawrence strolled the bustling streets of Paris in a timeless style.
Work of Art18 of 18
In September, Lawrence debuted a whole new look: She paired her sleek, chestnut strands with a statement-making couture gown from Christian Dior.
