It has risen!
Three new bakeries offer yeasty Easter treats
By Erica Wayne 03/28/2013
To paraphrase Dickens, now is the best of times and the worst of times for a bi-religion household, a year when Passover and Easter week overlap. Of course, neither my husband's nor my family is particularly pious, but we do try to be observant of holiday customs, especially the yummiest ones.
So, by the time this column publishes, you can be sure that we will have made up our Seder plate, dipped our bitter herbs, consumed the haroset, drunk (at the very least) four glasses of Manischewitz Concord Grape (I'm a traditionalist), sipped matzo-ball soup, choked down gefilte fish with red horseradish, feasted on roast chicken with matzo-apple kugel and ended the meal with macaroons, fruit compote and a spirited hunt for the afikomen.
But then Easter Sunday arrives on the sixth day of Passover, demanding an end to the unleavened bread shtick and attention to its own required festivities: Eggs and dye — check! Chocolate bunnies — check! Baskets with grass, jelly eggs, peeps and pastel Hershey Kisses — check, check, check and check. We're fine for the preliminaries.
Once the eggs are gathered and baskets given, it's on to Easter brunch with a big sliced ham (my family always prefers Honeybaked to home-baked), scalloped potatoes, slaw and biscuits, with an array of luscious pastries to follow.
And here, dear readers, I leave cooking to the professionals. My baked goods usually turn out to be "baked merely OKs," so I'm always seeking out new bakeries to enhance holiday meals.
This year, I've found three recent area additions with markedly different inventories: Bittersweet Treats, across from Pasadena City College on East Colorado Boulevard; Flour + Tea, located on the southeast corner of Arroyo Parkway and Cordova Street; and La Monarca Bakery & Café, on the southwest corner of Mission Street and Meridian Avenue in South Pasadena. And, to make sure what I served would hit the spot, I naturally had to make a trial run to sample from all three before finalizing my paschal purchases. Luckily, each has a sit-down area and serves gourmet coffees and teas, so I could indulge in a leisurely pursuit of perfection.
La Monarca (the newest sister in a four-store company) is not only a bakery, but a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. As I pondered their breads, pastries and cakes, I nibbled on a delectable smoked ham, cheese and jalapeno mini-trenza (filled bread) and sipped a café de olla (brewed with cinnamon and brown sugar). If I were planning scrambled eggs instead of ham for Easter brunch, a dozen of those trenzas definitely would have gone home with me!
La Monarca's biscuits and croissants come in either white or whole wheat. Both are flaky and rich — perfect for ham and butter or honey. I fell in love with their guava and cream puff-pastry tacos, one of which literally melted in my mouth. Those and some of La Monarca's pineapple empanadas will definitely be on my pastry tray this Sunday.
Flour + Tea follows a Taiwanese model, with a huge number of shaken teas and milk teas, iced teas, "frosteas" and plain teas on offer. The sunny interior has ample seating, so I nursed a delicious almond milk tea and downed a fabulous mushroom and cream-filled pie (which, again, if I'd been serving eggs, would definitely have joined the La Monarca trenzas) while perusing the counters and shelves for likely Easter buys.
Chocolate-stuffed puffs, lemon custard-filled puffs and almond-topped flat buns with taro filling made the cut. I gave deep thought to Flour + Tea's unusual miniature rolls, with a hidden chunk of plain mochi (a chewy rice-flour and sugar confection) and a dollop of an additional flavoring paste or crème (red bean, blueberry, gingerbread, green tea, lemon, chocolate, salt caramel, mango, strawberry and peanut butter and jelly) within. But I finally decided they didn't quite fit my menu, so I left with only a few for personal delectation.
My final stop was Bittersweet Treats. This bakery specializes in sweets: Cookies, bars, cupcakes, cakes and tarts, candy and homemade ice creams and sorbets. Here I got a latte, bothered the gal behind the counter with multiple requests for tastes of tangerine sorbet and coffee and honey-lavender ice cream (alas, no chocolate gelato which Yelpers had raved about) and interminably pondered the pastries. At last my choices were finalized — free-form oat, apricot, cardamom scones and heart-shaped apple ginger pies whose crust was simply sublime.
La Monarca, Flour + Tea and Bittersweet all make gorgeous cakes. Thank goodness I'm not planning on serving one this Easter, since it would be almost impossible to choose among them for sheer beauty. But, if someone forced me to make a single selection from each bakery, I'd probably go with La Monarca's dark chocolate Mexican mocha, Flour + Tea's mango cream and Bittersweet's chocolate crunch (iced in toasted Meringue). Or maybe, Bittersweets browned butter carrot cake, or, perhaps … Well, you see the problem.
If you can, before you head over to Vons or Ralphs for those mediocre croissants and icky frosted cupcakes, make a quick run to one or all of these intriguing new bakeries and take home a bagful of joy.
And, if you can't get there before this holiday week is over, don't worry. It's obvious from the number of customers that all three will be around for a long, long time.
Think Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas and New Year (not to mention birthdays, anniversaries and graduations), and be grateful. All these wonderful occasions to buy goodies from La Monarca, Flour + Tea and Bittersweet! But one caveat, it'll probably take those celebrations and more to get to know and try everything they've got to offer.

text: Reworking the idea of ghosts doctorbooshka posted:3/25/2014 11:38:44 AM What are ghosts and do they actually exist? It is a question that comes up frequently when speaking of the paranormal. One thing we as paranormal investigators tend to agree on is that manifestations are energy. We use EMF meters to detect those fluctuating currents that some believe denotes a spirit. One thing I have noticed in my research, is the lack of full bodied apparition pictures. Almost every haunted spot in the world has first hand reports of seeing full bodied apparitions. Why then are we not getting these apparitions on film? Then a thought occurred to me, what if the energy is sending an image directly to the brain, which might well explain why we don't capture them on our cameras. What if the energy is utilizing your own memory an presenting an image that suits you. Most people who see apparitions always note the clothing and correlate it to a time. Are these energies or spirits really even those of the dead, or have we literally utilized energy and believed in it so much that we've actually created ghosts. Now obviously I have nothing to truly back this theory but as we continue to understand the unknowns of the world it is important as researchers to broaden our view. Our brains are very powerful machines and its one we don't fully understand yet. Any ideas out there on how one would be able to experiment with this idea? -Doctor Booshkaelkburgersandbeer posted:3/28/2014 5:47:09 AM Assuming good sightings arent hoaxes, there are plenty caught on camera. As far as what spirits are...who knows. I once had a theory. A lot of my experiences make me think their is just ghost and demons and its all above my intelligence. However, if the sightings are nothing creepy and seem to be glimpses of people or events in the past...maybe thats what were seeing? I visualized it like one of the current ideas of the big bang theory in that you have sheets lets say, of different dimensions, and at times these sheets collide. Well, what if space and time have sheets that do this? So were standing at location a in time a, but we see an accident letting us see location a time b. B could be past or future.gary107 posted:3/28/2014 10:55:47 AM Linc, is that you? elkburgersandbeer ?gary107 posted:3/28/2014 12:58:41 PM in the photo collection in Balboa Park there is a photo from the early 1920's of a door between rooms in the first downtown library that shows a lady working behind a desk and a 1890's San Diego lady of note at the doorway, not a double exposure and at least 20 years between the two events. The people who work with the collection find it interesting. Mrs. Whaley is the transparent 1890's lady in the doorway. The Whaley House in old town San Diego is reported widely to be haunted. A past time event caught on a photo taken twenty years later?Jaxerback posted:5/9/2014 10:37:00 PM A time/dimensional slip?DirtBird posted:5/17/2014 9:49:19 AM Doctor... And I use the term loosely... What you don't consider and what is most probable is that people are imagining they see a ghost when it fails to show up on camera. It is simply not there. You are right in one regard.. The mind is very powerful.. And if it wants to see a ghost, it will. Please log in or become a member to add a post.

PRESS RELEASE From the Office of State Senator Kel Seliger, District 31
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 18, 2012 Contact: Gina Dowdy, (806) 374-8994
"During a time of economic uncertainty, the Keystone XL Project would have provided a significant opportunity for additional stability and security with our nation's energy supply. This decision will not only result in a loss of thousands of much-needed jobs for American workers, but will also send billions of dollars in potential tax revenues out of the United States. This decision is yet another example of the federal government's detest and calculated denigration of the oil and gas industry, and its unwillingness to achieve real energy independence."

Obnoxiousness Ad Nauseum
The title to this post is not meant to be directed at Mr. Allen Krause, though it certainly could be, because he most definitely is obnoxious (see his malcontented swipe at the Show-Me-State for more info — or don't, you'll be happier if you don't). Obnoxiousness ad nauseum, in this case, is a perfect summarization of the Cubs faithful who show up game after game to get wasted and occasionally look up to see who's playing.
I know, I know. Not all Cubs fans are like that — and you're probably right — but it only takes one to create the illusion that they're all alike. Marty Brennaman sure got that impression when bleacher bums (*synonym for alcoholics) threw 15 baseballs on to the field after an Adam Dunn homerun yesterday. Whether it's heaving baseballs, trash (*exclusive video here), beer bottles at Jacque Jones' head or dashing on to the field in an attempt to destroy Bob Howry, Cub fans are great at getting out of hand.
During the season, I try very hard not to be in Wrigleyville if I don't have to be when games are going on — unless I'm actually attending the game. When I do go, I make sure to wear layers and pack hardcover books under my shirt (to ward off any stabbing attempts). Two weeks ago I had to be in the neighborhood. I happened to be wearing a pink shirt that day because I look good in pink and I'm proud to say it. I got out of the cab and before I could take two steps towards the curb, some drunken idiot with an Aramis Ramirez jersey gave me a violent push to the chest saying, "Get out of here, F^g."
Nice. Real nice.
I hope they rename it "Moronville Field".
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Cubs fans are like locusts. And I'm talking the swirling plague kind of locusts. Don't let them scare you though, Jeffy. If you look good in pink, you rock that. By the way, you know how I know you're g@y…..?
Don't feel bad about looking good in pink, my wife looks great in pink. Cubs suck!
Come to think of it, my sister, mother, sister-n-law and mother-n-law look good in pink as well. You do your thang…
Okay, okay, so I wear pink sometimes to promote breast cancer awareness AND I look good in it. Kill me why don't ya.

Fireworks, festivals and all that jazz
Independence Day dawned and although the heat was outta control, folks flocked to the many events and fireworks shows all around the Upper Delaware River Valley. I decided to check out the festival and parade in Liberty, NY, and (with the wonder dog in tow) spent hours perusing the booths, enjoying the entertainment and photographing kids, floats and (of course) fire engines and tractors, which I never seem to tire of. To tag your friends and share the pics of both the Liberty and Narrowsburg parades, go to (yep, you guessed it) www.facebook.com/theriverreporter.
On Friday, photographer extraordinaire Jerry Cohen welcomed guests to the opening of his new exhibit "Eagles of the Upper Delaware," which runs through the 17th of the month in Bethel (www.straycatgallery.com) and exemplifies his lifelong love affair with imagery. I spoke with Cohen, who pointed me to his bio, which reads in part, "Whether it is the majestic nature of an eagle in flight or the haunting secrets held within an abandoned structure, there is beauty and intrigue everywhere I look." My advice? Check out the show; this guy (and his skill at capturing his elusive subjects) is (IMHO) amazing.
Of course there's more, including a trip to the "Chalk Walk" in Livingston Manor, which (for me) was a little too much walk and nowhere near enough chalk, but I chatted with friends, observed kids having a ball down at the swimming hole and took some fun pics of the various artists at work and the dog romping with pals. Want to see the photos? You know where to go.
The week's pièce de résistance came with my visit to the Parksville USA Music Festival where founder and managing director Tom Caltabellotta (www.parksvilleusa.com) had to set up extra seats to accommodate the huge crowd that showed up to hear (U)nity, who (according to the program) "aspire to create a completely original sound, fusing their Afro-Cuban roots with modern Jazz and Hip Hop."

General Manager
New England Revolution
Michael Burns is in his 10th season with the New England Revolution, and his third as the team's General Manager. He was promoted to his new role in November 2011 after four seasons as the team's Vice President of Player Personnel.
As General Manager, Burns leads all aspects of the club's soccer operations, which includes oversight of the coaching staff, player acquisitions and scouting, in addition to continuing his oversight of the youth development program and the team's day-to-day operations and management.
In the last two years since Burns assumed management of the technical side of the club, the Revolution has improved from a five-win club (in 2011) to a 14-win side in 2013 – and went from last to third in the Eastern Conference in two seasons – utilizing a core of young, talented and exciting players which the future is being built upon.
The former Revs defender and team captain returned to the club at the start of the 2005 season as the Director of Soccer before earning a promotion to Vice President of Player Personnel in 2008.
A true New England soccer legend, Burns was born and raised in nearby Marlborough, and was the Massachusetts High School Player of the Year in 1987 following his senior season at Marlborough High School. After a standout career at Hartwick College (1988-91), Burns became a regular for the U.S. National Team, earning 75 caps and starting two games for the U.S. in the 1998 FIFA World Cup. He was also a member of the 1994 U.S. World Cup squad.
Burns was the first player in U.S. Soccer history to represent the United States at every level of FIFA-sanctioned tournaments: Under-16 World Cup (Canada 1987), Under-20 World Cup (Saudi Arabia 1989), Olympic Games (Barcelona 1992) and World Cup (United States 1994, France 1998).
Burns was allocated to the Revolution in 1995 at the inception of MLS and he played for – and captained – New England from 1996 to 2000, before finishing his playing career with the San Jose Earthquakes (2000) and the Kansas City Wizards (2001-02). Overall, he made 169 appearances, scoring three goals and adding 21 assists. Burns also played for Viborg in the Super League in Denmark in 1995 before joining MLS.
In addition to his day-to-day duties with the Revolution, Burns serves on MLS' Technical Committee and its Combine Committee. Prior to returning to the Revolution in a management capacity, Burns served on the MLS Disciplinary Committee, and was also a member of U.S. Soccer's Board of Directors and the U.S. Soccer Athlete Counsel.
Burns holds a USSF "A" coaching license. He also is a member of the Board of Directors of the Boys and Girls Club of MetroWest that includes Marlborough, Hudson and Framingham.
Burns lives in the suburbs west of Boston with his wife, Jen, and their three children: Kayla (14), Trevor (12) and Garrett (8). Burns graduated from Hartwick in January 1993 with a degree in business management after taking a the spring semester off as a senior to prepare for the 1992 Olympics

At many companies, one major strategic goal is to surpass all competitors in the industry. But, what happens once this has been achieved? What do successful companies do to maintain their success—or increase their lead? And, what can the rest of us learn from these strategies?
Samsung has grown rapidly to become the world's largest smartphone manufacturer. As the New York Times reports, Samsung Electronics sales were $190 billion last year—about the same as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon sales combined. It shipped 215 million smartphones, about 40 percent of the world's total. Its 470,000 employees help make it the eighth-most valuable brand in the world and comprise about a quarter of South Korea's entire economy.
But Lee Kun-hee, the company's chair for the last 20 years, is not resting on his laurels. "We must resist complacency and thoughts of being good enough, as these will prevent us from becoming better," he wrote in a letter to employees. Samsung has become good at spotting trends, then outspending and outpacing the competition. Its vertically integrated business model encompasses everything from research to manufacturing to marketing. But, as Eric Pfanner and Brian X. Chen write, "suddenly, the company is the leader, with the onus of creating the next trend." The authors call it the "fast-follower problem."
"In the past, [Samsung] didn't need a strategy because they always had somebody to look up to," says Chang Sea-jin, author of a book on Samsung and the electronics wars. Now, Samsung is forced to anticipate and decide the future direction of the industry.
Lee helped make his company into what it is today by enabling its executives to see that its deep reach into its supply chain is a strong competitive advantage, the Times authors write. Is its strong supply chain the key to Samsung maintaining—or extending—its lead?
Looking at the road ahead
As you read this, we are on the verge of beginning a new year. Samsung's story illustrates not only the power of forward thinking, but the strength that a strong supply chain can bring to an organization.
One way you can empower your career and your company this year is by expanding your supply chain knowledge and earning the APICS Certified Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) designation. This widely recognized credential will demonstrate to your employer that you have a mastery of current supply chain management practices.
If you are already APICS certified, or are looking for ways to complement your supply chain training, consider attending an APICS or chapter event. In 2014, APICS is expanding its seminar series and will offer many one-day events on topics such as principles of manufacturing resources planning (MRP), supply chain risk management, and principles of sales and operations planning (S&OP). Many dates and locations are already set. Visit apics.org/events to learn more about these opportunities to advance your professional development.
Thank you for your engagement with and support of APICS in 2013. We hope that 2014 will be even more exciting.

We know our economy is stronger when we reward an honest day's work with honest wages. But today, a full-time worker making the minimum wage earns $14,500 a year. Even with the tax relief we've put in place, a family with two kids that earns the minimum wage still lives below the poverty line. That's wrong. That's why, since the last time this Congress raised the minimum wage, nineteen states have chosen to bump theirs even higher.
Tonight, let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty, and raise the federal minimum wage to $9.00 an hour. This single step would raise the incomes of millions of working families. It could mean the difference between groceries or the food bank; rent or eviction; scraping by or finally getting ahead. For businesses across the country, it would mean customers with more money in their pockets. In fact, working folks shouldn't have to wait year after year for the minimum wage to go up while CEO pay has never been higher. So here's an idea that Governor Romney and I actually agreed on last year: let's tie the minimum wage to the cost of living, so that it finally becomes a wage you can live on.
Tonight, let's also recognize that there are communities in this country where no matter how hard you work, it's virtually impossible to get ahead. Factory towns decimated from years of plants packing up. Inescapable pockets of poverty, urban and rural, where young adults are still fighting for their first job. America is not a place where chance of birth or circumstance should decide our destiny. And that is why we need to build new ladders of opportunity into the middle class for all who are willing to climb them.
Let's offer incentives to companies that hire Americans who've got what it takes to fill that job opening, but have been out of work so long that no one will give them a chance. Let's put people back to work rebuilding vacant homes in run-down neighborhoods. And this year, my Administration will begin to partner with 20 of the hardest-hit towns in America to get these communities back on their feet. We'll work with local leaders to target resources at public safety, education, and housing. We'll give new tax credits to businesses that hire and invest. And we'll work to strengthen families by removing the financial deterrents to marriage for low-income couples, and doing more to encourage fatherhood – because what makes you a man isn't the ability to conceive a child; it's having the courage to raise one.
Stronger families. Stronger communities. A stronger America. It is this kind of prosperity – broad, shared, and built on a thriving middle class – that has always been the source of our progress at home. It is also the foundation of our power and influence throughout the world.
Tonight, we stand united in saluting the troops and civilians who sacrifice every day to protect us. Because of them, we can say with confidence that America will complete its mission in Afghanistan, and achieve our objective of defeating the core of al Qaeda. Already, we have brought home 33,000 of our brave servicemen and women. This spring, our forces will move into a support role, while Afghan security forces take the lead. Tonight, I can announce that over the next year, another 34,000 American troops will come home from Afghanistan. This drawdown will continue. And by the end of next year, our war in Afghanistan will be over.
Beyond 2014, America's commitment to a unified and sovereign Afghanistan will endure, but the nature of our commitment will change. We are negotiating an agreement with the Afghan government that focuses on two missions: training and equipping Afghan forces so that the country does not again slip into chaos, and counter-terrorism efforts that allow us to pursue the remnants of al Qaeda and their affiliates.
Today, the organization that attacked us on 9/11 is a shadow of its former self. Different al Qaeda affiliates and extremist groups have emerged – from the Arabian Peninsula to Africa. The threat these groups pose is evolving. But to meet this threat, we don't need to send tens of thousands of our sons and daughters abroad, or occupy other nations. Instead, we will need to help countries like Yemen, Libya, and Somalia provide for their own security, and help allies who take the fight to terrorists, as we have in Mali. And, where necessary, through a range of capabilities, we will continue to take direct action against those terrorists who pose the gravest threat to Americans.
As we do, we must enlist our values in the fight. That is why my Administration has worked tirelessly to forge a durable legal and policy framework to guide our counterterrorism operations. Throughout, we have kept Congress fully informed of our efforts. I recognize that in our democracy, no one should just take my word that we're doing things the right way. So, in the months ahead, I will continue to engage with Congress to ensure not only that our targeting, detention, and prosecution of terrorists remains consistent with our laws and system of checks and balances, but that our efforts are even more transparent to the American people and to the world.
Of course, our challenges don't end with al Qaeda. America will continue to lead the effort to prevent the spread of the world's most dangerous weapons. The regime in North Korea must know that they will only achieve security and prosperity by meeting their international obligations. Provocations of the sort we saw last night will only isolate them further, as we stand by our allies, strengthen our own missile defense, and lead the world in taking firm action in response to these threats.
Likewise, the leaders of Iran must recognize that now is the time for a diplomatic solution, because a coalition stands united in demanding that they meet their obligations, and we will do what is necessary to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon. At the same time, we will engage Russia to seek further reductions in our nuclear arsenals, and continue leading the global effort to secure nuclear materials that could fall into the wrong hands – because our ability to influence others depends on our willingness to lead.
America must also face the rapidly growing threat from cyber-attacks. We know hackers steal people's identities and infiltrate private e-mail. We know foreign countries and companies swipe our corporate secrets. Now our enemies are also seeking the ability to sabotage our power grid, our financial institutions, and our air traffic control systems. We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy.
That's why, earlier today, I signed a new executive order that will strengthen our cyber defenses by increasing information sharing, and developing standards to protect our national security, our jobs, and our privacy. Now, Congress must act as well, by passing legislation to give our government a greater capacity to secure our networks and deter attacks.
Even as we protect our people, we should remember that today's world presents not only dangers, but opportunities. To boost American exports, support American jobs, and level the playing field in the growing markets of Asia, we intend to complete negotiations on a Trans-Pacific Partnership. And tonight, I am announcing that we will launch talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union – because trade that is free and fair across the Atlantic supports millions of good-paying American jobs.
We also know that progress in the most impoverished parts of our world enriches us all. In many places, people live on little more than a dollar a day. So the United States will join with our allies to eradicate such extreme poverty in the next two decades: by connecting more people to the global economy and empowering women; by giving our young and brightest minds new opportunities to serve and helping communities to feed, power, and educate themselves; by saving the world's children from preventable deaths; and by realizing the promise of an AIDS-free generation.
Above all, America must remain a beacon to all who seek freedom during this period of historic change. I saw the power of hope last year in Rangoon – when Aung San Suu Kyi welcomed an American President into the home where she had been imprisoned for years; when thousands of Burmese lined the streets, waving American flags, including a man who said, "There is justice and law in the United States. I want our country to be like that."
In defense of freedom, we will remain the anchor of strong alliances from the Americas to Africa; from Europe to Asia. In the Middle East, we will stand with citizens as they demand their universal rights, and support stable transitions to democracy. The process will be messy, and we cannot presume to dictate the course of change in countries like Egypt; but we can – and will – insist on respect for the fundamental rights of all people. We will keep the pressure on a Syrian regime that has murdered its own people, and support opposition leaders that respect the rights of every Syrian. And we will stand steadfast with Israel in pursuit of security and a lasting peace. These are the messages I will deliver when I travel to the Middle East next month.
All this work depends on the courage and sacrifice of those who serve in dangerous places at great personal risk – our diplomats, our intelligence officers, and the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. As long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will do whatever we must to protect those who serve their country abroad, and we will maintain the best military in the world. We will invest in new capabilities, even as we reduce waste and wartime spending. We will ensure equal treatment for all service members, and equal benefits for their families – gay and straight. We will draw upon the courage and skills of our sisters and daughters, because women have proven under fire that they are ready for combat. We will keep faith with our veterans – investing in world-class care, including mental health care, for our wounded warriors; supporting our military families; and giving our veterans the benefits, education, and job opportunities they have earned. And I want to thank my wife Michelle and Dr. Jill Biden for their continued dedication to serving our military families as well as they serve us.
But defending our freedom is not the job of our military alone. We must all do our part to make sure our God-given rights are protected here at home. That includes our most fundamental right as citizens: the right to vote. When any Americans – no matter where they live or what their party – are denied that right simply because they can't wait for five, six, seven hours just to cast their ballot, we are betraying our ideals. That's why, tonight, I'm announcing a non-partisan commission to improve the voting experience in America. And I'm asking two long-time experts in the field, who've recently served as the top attorneys for my campaign and for Governor Romney's campaign, to lead it. We can fix this, and we will. The American people demand it. And so does our democracy.
Of course, what I've said tonight matters little if we don't come together to protect our most precious resource – our children.
It has been two months since Newtown. I know this is not the first time this country has debated how to reduce gun violence. But this time is different. Overwhelming majorities of Americans – Americans who believe in the 2nd Amendment – have come together around commonsense reform – like background checks that will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on a gun. Senators of both parties are working together on tough new laws to prevent anyone from buying guns for resale to criminals. Police chiefs are asking our help to get weapons of war and massive ammunition magazines off our streets, because they are tired of being outgunned.
Each of these proposals deserves a vote in Congress. If you want to vote no, that's your choice. But these proposals deserve a vote. Because in the two months since Newtown, more than a thousand birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries have been stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun.
One of those we lost was a young girl named Hadiya Pendleton. She was 15 years old. She loved Fig Newtons and lip gloss. She was a majorette. She was so good to her friends, they all thought they were her best friend. Just three weeks ago, she was here, in Washington, with her classmates, performing for her country at my inauguration. And a week later, she was shot and killed in a Chicago park after school, just a mile away from my house.
Hadiya's parents, Nate and Cleo, are in this chamber tonight, along with more than two dozen Americans whose lives have been torn apart by gun violence. They deserve a vote.
Gabby Giffords deserves a vote.

Go follow Crazy8.
No one knows who you are on this site. You zero contributions and if you leave today, the forum will have thoughtless memories of you.
Before you come here talking a bucket load of crap; check yourself because you definitely ain't no solution here.
Crazy8 made himself leave the forum. I was passive the entire time till he started harassing my PM's and diverting the topic into 3-4 different threads. Why am I taking blame for a situation that was started and instigated in the first place? Every attempt Crazy had to throw insults or pointlessly rant, I moved it to a different section of the forum, non Knick related.
What is hilarious is that if this situation was the other way around where I was harassing Crazy through PMs, cursing him out, you guys would cry from the connection of some gayass online relationship with a guy you never met, so the bias is heavy.
You share Crazy8s obsessive personality...do you really care that much that your life can't move on, you pouring your emotions out? Exposing yourself here desperately. You guys really sound like a bunch of b*tches at a Victoria Secret store where their main item was sold out. Put some testerone into your body, your manlove for the guy in this thread is on FULL BLAST. I would edit that post so you come off looking so homosexual.
Not only you don't look like an individual, but just another testicle for Crazy.
The other mods here aren't even active for you to say anything about them, so you're full of sh*t. A forum is a forum, you come here to talk about basketball, not stress out how pretty it looks especially since you probably look like a pieceof**** in real life. I kept this forum up to date by posting recent articles, opening conversations, debates, and a variety of discussions for members to be active, and anyone who really hates on that is full of crock, can't let go of a personal vendetta from the past or are just afraid to confront me. I'm tired of these posh posters having sympathy for a wimp ass dude like Crazy8. Softcore posters easily amused by glitter. Do what you want, but come around here giving me sh*t.
He couldn't handle an opinion and cried over it. Crazy8 lost, exposed himself as a weak person.
He especially exposed himself as a fraud, announcing 3 times in 2 days that he was leaving the site, and his weakass cried when his farewell thread got moved. If that's not emotional I don't know what is. Even worse, Crazy8 is exposing himself by sending out his fairymen to speak for him.
Gay-online-relationships. Considering your worth in life when you're sent to do duties for a guy who cries over a poll on an internet forum.
A great job? This isn't even a real job. Find a girlfriend and take down that Crazy8 poster in your room, you mariconassdude. You're never going to meet Crazy8s in real life, no matter how hard you dream about it, and if you do then both of you guys can give each other the manliest blowjobs till you past out.

Athletic trainers lacking for Vt. collision sportsApril 21,2013
This is the second in a two-part series on concussions in Vermont school sports.
By ANNA GREARSON
Of the 48 Vermont high schools that offer collision sports football, hockey, wrestling and boys lacrosse, as listed by the American Academy of Pediatrics 14 do not currently have any athletic training coverage and only 13 have full-time staff.
According to Senate Bill No. 4, or S.4, currently sitting in the House Education Committee awaiting word on movement to the full House of Representatives, schools shall ensure that a health care provider is present at any athletic event in which a high school athletic team participates in a collision sport.
That clause has become the elephant in the room for the states athletic training officials and the vast majority of athletic directors who are left wondering what will happen should the bill pass and adequate coverage under the new law has still not been found.
It will severely impact our athletic program, said Oxbow athletic director Rich Thornton.
According to a spreadsheet provided by South Burlington athletic trainer Denise Alosa, who is also on the Vermont Principals Association sports medicine advisory committee, the schools that offer collision sports but do not have athletic training coverage are Bellows Falls, Enosburg, Hartford, Missiquoi, Northfield, Otter Valley, Oxbow, Poultney, Putney, Randolph, Richford, Sharon, Springfield and Windsor.
The bill which wouldnt take effect until July 1, 2014 if passed requires medical professionals at collision-sport games to be trained in concussion management within the last five years.
I know a lot of schools use EMTs, and theyre fine to cover events for the big, bad stuff, but they dont have concussion training nor are they able to clear concussions, said Alosa, whos been on the South Burlington sidelines for 15 years. Its a double-edged sword.
Oxbow offers football, which is currently covered by an ambulance service as well as a parent who is a registered nurse and has taken it upon herself to study concussions and football-related injuries.
But according to that new law, that wont work, Thornton said.
For Division-I Spaulding, which employs a full-time athletic trainer, the debate is where to send the athletic trainer and when to schedule games.
If we have two events, lets say a football game and soccer and we play soccer off site and soccer is deemed to be one of these collision sports it would put (athletic trainer) Jason (Carriveau) and I in a position to map out what we need to cover to be in compliance with the law, Spaulding athletic director Pat Merriam said. Now we prioritize in our best estimation the spots he needs to cover.
While no one has expressed a disinterest in having such coverage, the cost has been prohibitive substantially huge, according to Merriam for many Vermont schools.
To get even a part-timer, itd be $10,000 minimum, but were looking at upwards of double that in all likelihood, Thornton said. Ive researched this extensively, and its a challenge in itself to get one to come to our school.
Bradford lies just outside of the Dartmouth-Hitchcock coverage zone, and the nearest hospital is Cottage Hospital a dozen miles away.
I dont think (supporters of S.4) have taken into account how this impacts all the schools in a state like Vermont, especially the schools that are rural, Thornton said.
The governing body of Vermont high school athletics, the Vermont Principals Association, currently requires football and boys and girls hockey to have medical coverage present. That coverage could mean EMTs or athletic trainers. Some schools, like Spaulding, provide both at hockey and football.
You have to have immediate access (to appropriate medical facilities), said Bob Johnson, the VPAs associate executive director who is in charge of all school sports and activities.
There can be full-time, part-time coverage with athletic trainers who work alongside physical therapists in a rehab clinic, home-only coverage on a contract or per diem basis, president of the Vermont Association of Athletic Trainers Alan Maynard said. Theres such a wide array of what it could look like.
Maynard argued that hiring an athletic trainer would ultimately cut costs for both schools and parents.
What an athletic trainer provides is risk reduction for the school, he said. You have someone who is trained and has expertise working with physically active folks who are likely to be hurt. They provide immediate care in an emergency setting and are able to talk to parents and coaches rather than rush off to the emergency room or go in an ambulance when its not necessary.
We dont need to send every concussion to the ER, that standard of practice is outdated. If you have someone trained... you can avoid a lot of these other costs out-of-pocket, and reduce risk. Its a win-win.
Neither the current legislation nor the proposed bill outline consequences for not complying.
The way I interpret the law, if they dont have coverage, the game gets cancelled, Johnson said. I dont see any way around it. If theres no medical coverage and somebody gets hurt, theyve opened themselves up to a huge liability issue.
No one is opposed to safety for the kids. But when you start legislating it, and people havent thought about unintended consequences... I have concerns about legislating medical practice.
Alosa is concerned the bill, called an act relating to concussions and school athletic activities, limits the focus when mandating medical coverage.
I think theyre missing the bigger picture with other health issues that could need an athletic trainer, she said. Cardiac arrest can happen in all ages, heat illness kills 10-15 high school athletes a year, and theres internal and spinal cord injuries. Its important that when we start to look at coverage guidelines that we look at whos covering.
We need to be careful about mandating these things and the false sense of security of having the wrong person there.
Others have expressed concern that the introduction of and attention surrounding S.4 has not let the current legislation, Act 058 passed in 2012, have a chance to work.
I think there are some good parts to (S.4), but I also think the bill we have is working okay, Alosa said.
We do have a law on the books that works pretty well, Maynard said. This is an attempt to clean it up a little bit and it adds coverage.
Supporters of S.4 say the current legislation was premature.
With the NFL highlighting this, I think its a matter of time before theres a federal concussion law, Montpelier football coach John Murphy said. I thought (the legislature) shouldve done more research. As a result, they push a law into effect and now there are some issues. I see in my experience where it needs to be changed to identify who is liable and who can clear at the appropriate time to return to play.
The new bill also requires each school to develop an action plan for concussion management, similar to the Recognize, Remove, Refer, Return plan passed in Oregon under Maxs Law in 2011, which has drawn tremendous support.
Its a critical component, Maynard said.
The underlying issue in student-athlete safety is communication. Maynard, who is also the athletic trainer at BFA-Fairfax, described a culture of safety that starts with the individual coaches.
Coaches have to be the drivers of a culture of safety, they must be, he said. To me, the incidents with athletes hiding concussions, that might be relatively isolated. Ive talked to other athletic trainers, and its not something we see.
At Montpelier, which had a student admit he hid concussion symptoms in order to keep playing, the athletic trainer reviewed the schools procedure, based on the Fletcher Allen Health Care Concussion Task Force protocol that many schools utilize, with parents and players in pre-season meetings.
Some kids, unfortunately, are unable to make those meetings, Montpelier athletic director Matt Link said in an email.
Its nice that people are standing up and paying attention to a lot of these issues, Alosa said. Its unfortunate we cant get every school to make it a priority, dollars-and-cents-wise.

Many of you don't know that I spent every summer of my childhood at Lake Winnipesaukee- and much of many summers after that. My dad still has the house on an island up there, but is unable to care for it so until it sells, my brother has taken on the responsibility. Its funny how perception changes as you get older- I used to resent that we had no electricity on the island- no tv, no radio, no video games- no microwave- nothing. I also found it just weird that our fridge ran on gas, with a pilot light- the stove wasn't that weird but I the fridge baffled me. Decades later, I'd be a very happy lady to live out on the island for the summer without electricity (ok maybe *some* for internet…) just swimming, reading and playing games as a family.
Years into having this house, my dad starting exploring options for power. He bought a generator, and used that to fire up a microwave in the mornings. Sometime when I was in the highschool or college years, he started researching solar panels and eventually purchased and installed some at the lake house, providing enough electricity for lights, a tiny 5″ black & white tv (my mom missed the news). At the time I believe the only thing available were the solar panels that ended up being permanently installed on the roof, which have been great, but with all of the different options for solar use today like portable solar panels, I think we'd have gotten far more bang for our buck with the portable options, shifting them as the seasons changed.
I'm excited to see all of the new options out and about for solar power, and keep seeing chargers for different electronics we all use so frequently (myself included!!) like mp3 players, smartphones, tablets, laptops, cordless phones- charging them uses electricity and costs money- I would love to have an option that charges them without a recurring cost to me and doesn't require the use of more electricty. I'd be REALLY excited if I could find a solar charger for the kids' power wheels trucks in the yard- that would be awesome!! They chould charge as they drove and we'd never have to plug 12 v batteries in.
Down the road, if we can swing it, I'd love to invest in solar panels for our home- I just think they do so much without taking away from our earth and I"d love to use them for power! I think I better start small, and look at maybe buying a solar battery charger. Maybe for my trip to LA?
What about you? Do you think solar power is worth investing in? Do you use it? What do you have?

Destination France: 2011 Recovery from 2010 Volcanic Eruptions and Pension Reform Strikes
I'm starting my last couple of weeks here in Nice, France and I've been thinking about the booming tourism industry for Americans here in Europe, particularly in the south of France. 2010 was undoubtedly a difficult year for the travel industry in Europe. The volcanic eruptions from Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull last April put a damper on the travel plans of many when strong winds pushed ash clouds from the eruption toward Europe

Heaven Sent Grape Nectar: New and Vibrant Drinks Now Served at South Coast Winery's Vineyard Rose Restaurant
Heaven Sent Grape Nectar: New and Vibrant Drinks Now Served at South Coast Winery's Vineyard Rose Restaurant
October 28, 2010, Temecula, California
-- Just announced!!! Award-winning South Coast Winery Resort & Spa's Vineyard Rose Restaurant is serving up more than wine these days. It's serving up specially created grape–based nectars with a twist. Due to licensing requirements, South Coast Winery is unable to sell anything other than vine–based alcohol which, until now, had prohibited consumers from enjoying a favorite Bloody Mary with their Sunday Brunch or a Cosmo at Happy Hour. Leave it to the ingenuity of the highly creative team of food and beverage professionals at the Vineyard Rose to press forward. They discovered the wonderful world of Grappa, a beverage made from the grape pomace, or the skin of the grape, and what is left after the grape is crushed in order to make wine.
After months of research, taste tests, a few headaches, and dumps, South Coast's winemakers, colleagues and unsuspecting guests helped to select a grappa that was just right for the project at hand. Then bartenders, Justin and Scott, set off to discover the perfect mixes and blends to create a beverage of quality and character. According to Vineyard Rose Manager, Kari Carter, "The addition of mixed cocktails is the perfect enhancement to the Vineyard Rose restaurant experience. Being able to maintain quality grape–based properties for our cocktails was paramount and is an exciting step forward for South Coast Winery Resort & Spa."
Why grappa? Just like fine wine, every grappa has a uniquely different character and taste. South Coast Winery recognizes its customers have a uniquely different character and taste too, which is why it produces over 40 styles of wine. South Coast Winery chose Jacopo Poli as its grappa of choice because of its stellar reputation for quality above quantity. The area where Jacopo Poli gathers their grappas' grape-pomace ranges from Bassano del Grappa to the hills surrounding Marostica and Breganze, lands historically famous for the cultivation of grape vines. The still of the Poli Distillery is among the oldest in use today. It consists of cauldrons completely made of copper, as in centuries gone by. Its distillation cycle is discontinuous. This means that they put the grape–pomace into the cauldrons and then distill it using steam. After about three hours, they unload the cauldrons and the cycle begins again. Because of the individual characteristics of grappas and wines, Jacopo Poli was selected because it too has a nice selection of grappas with unique and wonderful aromatic profiles, combining primary flavors that are fruity, floral, herbaceous and spicy.
As is reflective of the South Coast Winery name, these new drinks stretch previous limitations; in fact, they are more than a "mixed" drink. The Jacopo Poli grappas that South Coast Winery selected are perfect for sipping or mixing up a Bloody Mary that makes each Sunday Brunch complete or a Margarita, Cosmo, Appletini or Chocolatini after a long day at the office. Of course, with Fall upon us, other patrons will be pleased to discover the Nardini line of grappas used for the Vineyard Rose's delectable Toasted Almond, Hot Butternut and Creme Bruelee fireside sippers. Looking for a twist? Taste testers also enjoyed the Key Lime and Lemon Drops, but you be the judge. South Coast Winery Resort & Spa features a 39-acre destination property located in the heart of Southern California Temecula Valley's Wine Country at 34843 Rancho California Road, Temecula, California and also is home to a wine-country themed restaurant and tasting room in the heart of Orange County California, and both can be found online at www.southcoastwinery.com. For more information about this release, electronic photos or to schedule a private media tour of South Coast Winery Resort & Spa, contact Crystal Magon at (951) 587-9463 Ext. 7204 or email@example.com. South Coast Winery»s Vineyard Rose is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner plus offers up an incredible happy hour 5 PM to 7:30 PM Monday thru Friday.

Iowan gets 75 years for murder, attempted murder
Published On: Feb 08 2013 09:30:06 AM CST
A 23-year-old Sioux City man has been given 75 years in prison for murder and attempted murder.
James Kroll Jr. had pleaded guilty to the charges last month. Kroll was sentenced on Thursday in Woodbury County District Court.
Authorities say Kroll used a crowbar to beat 54-year-old Jeffrey Moravek to death and seriously injure 54-year-old Mary Tope after breaking into Tope's home in June.
Police say Tope's daughter, Emily, was in the house at the time and identified Kroll, her former boyfriend. Court papers say Kroll was distraught that their relationship had ended. She was not injured.

I am a college football fan, so I did watch at a distance over the past few years as Mack Brown's teams slowly slipped off the national radar.
It's no secret that Brown was fairly soft when it came to disciplining his players.
He rarely cracked the whip, instead choosing to have the players over to his house to have what many might call a "heart-to-heart conversation."
That style worked when he had players who held themselves accountable and had locker-room leaders who made sure that players didn't stray off onto a wayward path.
If there's one coach who you could say is the polar opposite of Brown, it's Charlie Strong.
Strong isn't afraid to discipline his players. He isn't afraid to be a leader. He isn't afraid to hold his players accountable for their actions.
That was abundantly clear last week when he suspended two players who are accused of sexual assault and kicked four players off the team for violating team rules.
With the four dismissals, that brings the total to six since Strong took over the program.
That number alone speaks volumes about the culture that was under Brown.
Strong is cleaning up a mess that Brown left behind when he stepped down.
Some Longhorn fans still feel a loyalty to Brown and still support him to this day.
That support needs to evaporate now.
The evidence is clear and convincing—Brown had no control of his players and no control of the program.
It won't be that way under Strong.
Strong is, for lack of a better term, a strong leader who will guide the program in the right direction and ensure that UT returns to its perch as one of the premier programs in the nation.
Gone are the days of juice bars in the locker room and fireside chats about a player's behavior after another arrest.
In are the days of accountability, hard work, dedication and perseverance.
I might not bleed burnt orange or have the Longhorn logo tattooed across my chest, but I'm certainly glad to see someone at the helm of the UT program who believes in doing the right thing and being accountable.
Texas needed a strong leader with a strong personality and dedication.
It got one in Strong.

- Title
- Short-lived radioactivity in the early solar system: the Super-AGB star hypothesis

- Abstract
- The composition of the most primitive solar system condensates, such as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) and micron-sized corundum grains, show that short-lived radionuclides (SLR), e.g., 26Al, were present in the early solar system. Their abundances require a local or stellar origin, which, however, is far from being understood. We present for the first time the abundances of several SLR up to 60Fe predicted from stars with initial mass in the range approximately 7–11 M⊙. These stars evolve through core H, He, and C burning. After core C burning they go through a "Super"-asymptotic giant branch (Super-AGB) phase, with the H and He shells activated alternately, episodic thermal pulses in the He shell, a very hot temperature at the base of the convective envelope (approximately 108 K), and strong stellar winds driving the H-rich envelope into the surrounding interstellar medium. The final remnants of the evolution of Super-AGB stars are mostly O–Ne white dwarfs. Our Super-AGB models produce 26Al/27Al yield ratios approximately 0.02–0.26. These models can account for the canonical value of the 26Al/27Al ratio using dilutions with the solar nebula of the order of 1 part of Super-AGB mass per several 102 to several 103 of solar nebula mass, resulting in associated changes in the O-isotope composition in the range Δ17O from 3 to 20‰. This is in agreement with observations of the O isotopic ratios in primitive solar system condensates, which do not carry the signature of a stellar polluter. The radionuclides 41Ca and 60Fe are produced by neutron captures in Super-AGB stars and their meteoritic abundances are also matched by some of our models, depending on the nuclear and stellar physics uncertainties as well as the meteoritic experimental data. We also expect and are currently investigating Super AGB production of SLR heavier than iron, such as 107Pd.

A few weeks prior to my youngest daughter's 6th birthday, I asked her what kind of party she'd like to have. As one might expect from a laid-back, ukulele playing, perpetually smiling child, her party suggestions were quite ambiguous.
"I don't care what we do, Mom. Maybe just have some food that is cooked and do something fun," she said grinning from behind her pink spectacles.
Hmmm … I had always dreamed of a relaxed party-planning style—apparently, I was about to get my chance.

This is another up-and-coming artist that I'm really excited about. Jaleel Shaw is one of the most talented and interesting young players that has come along in the latest wave of young lions. I first met Jaleel around 2002 - he was a finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition that year as well. I was completely blown away by this cat. This year, he is a recipient of the ASCAP Foundation Young Jazz Composer Award, along with another great young talent, Kendrick Scott.
Oh, and Happy Birthday too!

text: My 13-month old just started waking up and fussing at night. I took her to her ped and they said she was on the verge of having an ear infection. They saw swelling and fluid starting to build up so they prescribed her an antibiotic. She should be done with her antibiotic tomorrow night but she is still waking up after I put her to sleep and screaming non-stop. She does not have a fever and she did just get another tooth so I am sure that is not helping either. However, I have no idea what to do to help her. I know that picking her up will lead to bad behaviors. We are trying to sit in the room with her so she can still see us but that is not helping. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. My normal routine has always been nursing her until she fell asleep and then putting her in her crib. In the few instances that she woke up, usually a short back rub would help her fall right back to sleep. This is no longer working. Help! She has been screaming the past hour non-stop...and that is with one of us sitting in the room with her

Elkins Christian Academy honors founder
The late Rev. Gloria Roy, former pastor of New Life Fellowship, will be celebrated at Elkins Christian Academy this week, with students learning about the school's history and its founder.
Students also will have the day off from school Friday to commemorate the school's inception.
Though now operating under the name Elkins Christian Academy and under the direction of Elkins Church of God Family Worship Center and its pastor, Bishop Jamie Estep, Roy's legacy remains vibrant at the school and within the community at large.
Roy's charitable foundation has donated nearly $90,000 in total this year. Gifts have been made to the school as well as the Little League, Randolph County Fair and other key organizations that enrich the lives of this region's children.
"We celebrate and dedicate Gloria's legacy on Founder's Day at ECA each year. Our goal is to carry on where she left off. Thank you, Pastor Gloria Roy!" Estep said.
Pastor Gloria, as Roy was affectionately known, had a heart for children and wanted to see them receive the best education and Christian foundation possible, according to a press release from ECA. In 1991, she formed New Life Christian School to accomplish that goal.
In the early years, classes were held in the church fellowship hall and some of the church's classrooms. The school had rapid growth, and the release state's Roy knew a separate building needed to be erected to support this mission.
In 2001, construction began, and the new school included an office, five classrooms, a small science lab and a full-size gymnasium.
Then, in 2012, Elkins Church of God Family Worship Center purchased New Life Church and its surrounding property. EFWC continues to carry on the legacy that Pastor Roy left and is taking it on to higher dimensions. The school now has a complete computer lab and library, in addition to the original structure.
The school was renamed Elkins Christian Academy and is under the administration of Bishop Estep. The West Virginia Division of Education accredited school offers classes for students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
There are five full-time teachers at the facility. They are: Chelsey Toms and Adam West, who teach high school with specialities in math and foreign language among other subjects; John Taylor, who teaches secondary education; Melinda Watson, who teaches elementary education; and Genna Fincham, who teaches pre-kindergarten and kindergarten classes.
In addition to the state accreditation, the school uses the award-winning Christian-based A Beka curriculum. The A Beka approach to education keeps learning lively, interesting and memorable, as well as grounded in the practical aspects of classroom teaching for excellence in education, the ECA release states.
For more information, contact the school at 304-591-4554. It is open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to noon on Friday.

Yesterday marked the 150th anniversary of the surrender of Vicksburg, Mississippi to the Union armies commanded by Ulysses S. Grant during the American Civil War. It was a seminal moment: the Confederacy was now split in two and commerce could once again flow from the farms of the Midwest down the Mississippi River virtually unimpeded.

Before anyone says anything I am only providing this article for your information and have not drawn any opinions (that is up to everyone else). I do want to note that although the stock dropped 8.5% down to $35.50, it is still above what it was selling for pre-Linsanity ($29.49).
I know someone else already posted an article previously about Lin's affect on MSG stock (I think it was Linvincible) but this is an update from today. I'm just trying to add to the discussion on what you guys think of this trend after Lin's departure. Would be nice if we could get some people who have a background in business to post (I do not).

BSC Student's Poem Selected for Inclusion in National Publication
CreatedFriday, September 30 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 email@example.com
(Bluefield)—Occasionally, the beauty of a sunrise inspires a poet's work. For Tina Hankins, the sound of a strong wind that gave notice of an approaching storm served as the inspiration for her poem, "The Rustling of the Wind."
Hankins, a Bluefield State College Humanities major, put pen to pad to capture the essence of that moment, and her poem has been included in From a Window: Discovery, a collection of poems published by Eber & Wein Publishing Company. "I was working on an assignment and opened an online link that invited aspiring poets to enter a contest where they could submit their poems for publication," she explained. "I entered my poem and I was notified that it was picked as one of the poems published in this collection."
A Bluefield, Virginia resident and Graham High School graduate, Hankins enrolled at Bluefield State after earning an associate degree from Southwest Virginia Community College. The idea for her poem arose when she returned home from work one evening. "I had just arrived at home and it was dark," she said. "I heard the wind rustling through the trees," she recalled. "I grew up in the church, and my poem deals with the peace of God in the midst of a cold and stormy time."
