When I was a child walking home from the Sylva Elementary, I usually stopped at the little one-room library on the townŌĆÖs main street (1942). It was here that I first noticed that the patrons of our library resembled churchgoers. They entered quietly. Often, they seemed to simply want a peaceful haven ŌĆö a place where they could sit for a moment and think. When they left, they seemed relieved, as though they had accomplished their purpose.
In my childhood, the library ŌĆ£staffŌĆØ consisted of a single entity ŌĆö wonderful Sadie Luck, a vibrant, elderly lady who seemed to know everybodyŌĆÖs name.
ŌĆ£Well, Gary Carden!ŌĆØ she would say, beaming at me as her upper plate wobbled about. She seemed genuinely glad to see me! Then, she would whisper in my ear, ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been saving something for you.ŌĆØ She would hand me any one of the hundreds of books that I came to love (I still do) ŌĆö perhaps Eric KnightŌĆÖs Lassie, Come Home or Mary OŌĆÖHaraŌĆÖs My Friend, Flicka. When I was older, it would be FitzgeraldŌĆÖs The Great Gatsby, SteinbeckŌĆÖs The Red Pony and WolfeŌĆÖs Look Homeward, Angel. Sometimes, she would say, ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve got something for Agnes, your grandmother.ŌĆØ I especially remember John FoxŌĆÖs Trail of the Lonesome Pine and Richard LlewellynŌĆÖs How Green Was My Valley.
Nor was Sadie content to merely hand me a book; later we would discuss it. Yes, Sadie actually read her books! ŌĆ£What was your favorite part?ŌĆØ she would say. My appreciation for everything I read deepened when this friendly little woman encouraged me to think about the green light on GatsbyŌĆÖs pier and WolfeŌĆÖs grief for his brother, Ben. More than any teacher, more than any relative, Sadie Luck influenced my love of literature. She read my themes for English class, reviewed my report cards and encouraged me to write.
It is important to remember that I was but one of the many who spent time under the guidance of Sadie Luck.
Her days were spent dispensing books, advice and encouragement to children and adults. In my mindŌĆÖs eye, I see her bending to tie a boyŌĆÖs shoelace or rummaging in her sweater pockets for a Kleenex to tend a childŌĆÖs runny nose.
Obviously, both libraries and librarians have changed since the days of Sadie Luck. Equipped with computers, research archives, and an awesome array of magazines, newspapers, film (vhs and dvd), music and thousands of books, the modern equivalent of SadieŌĆÖs tiny domain requires the services of a large, multi-talented staff. If Sadie were here today, doubtless she would be perplexed and bewildered. What would she make of operations like finance, outreach, storytelling and childrenŌĆÖs services, ordering, processing and cataloging?
Fontana Regional Library will soon announce a replacement for departing Michael Cartwright. Whoever replaces Cartwright will have a daunting responsibility: With inadequate space, a significant decline in library utilization, a controversial new facility site, and a 10-year fund-raising venture that appears stillborn, the new librarian has an impressive challenge.
I sincerely hope that the Fontana Regional Library is mindful of the fact that somewhere in the recent past, the Jackson County facility lost a vital part of its traditional character. What did it lose? For want of a better term, letŌĆÖs call it ŌĆ£the spirit of Sadie Luck.ŌĆØ It was a benevolent Presence that made us feel welcome, and that assisted and guided us (and bid us return). Regardless of what administrative skills this being may possess, they most assuredly should love books and like people.
As soon as our new librarian arrives, I am confident that the citizens of Jackson County will perceive the ŌĆ£changing of the guardŌĆØ as a ŌĆ£wake-up call.ŌĆØ Do you remember when going to the library was an exciting venture? I do. (It used to represent the total of my ŌĆ£social life.ŌĆØ) I remember entering the library with a sense of expectancy, awe and anticipated discovery ŌĆö for the young at ,heart, libraries are magic. All of the available space is packed with books, music (unread and unheard) and they are there for us ... dispensed by a benevolent staff ... and now, perhaps once more offered in the radiant spirit of little Sadie Luck, who always said, ŌĆ£Gary, please come in!ŌĆØ
I havenŌĆÖt been in the library in three years, but IŌĆÖm ready to go back. Perhaps, when I enter the front door, I will hear Sadie Luck whisper, ŌĆ£Welcome home.ŌĆØ

Adams still interested in signing with Bills [10:01 PM]
AP reports: Earlier Thursday, the Bills met with former Arizona Cardinals WR/kick returner MarTay Jenkins, an UFA. Jenkins had 21 catches for 251 yards and was the Cardinals top returner before missing the last half of last season with a broken shoulder blade. The Bills are seeking a new returner after electing not to re-sign Charlie Rogers last month.
Free Agent MarTay Jenkins Visits Buffalo [5:27 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: "I can do both. I've done both throughout my career. Special teams is defiantly what made me. I made a name for myself out there. I've progressed as a receiver the last couple of years. It's kind of a bonus for me that I can do both. Plus gunner, kickoff and all those other added special teams they would want me to do so I would hope that would be an added incentive."
Joe DeLamielleure Autograph Sessions [3:37 PM]

Spikes brings warrior mentality to Buffalo [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"I feel born again," said the 26-year-old Spikes. "I'm looking forward to meeting all of the guys, building up the camaraderie and enjoying life. I'm happy with where I'm at, I'm happy with everything that comes along with it and I'm looking forward to starting up."'
Suddenly, Bills fever is spiking [9:01 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"And it ain't over yet," said John Guy, the Bills' director of pro personnel. "We still have more pieces to get. We're not in a rush, but when we find a guy who fits our situation, and at the right price, we'll spin our efforts that way. We're just trying to be patient, be flexible."'
Adams set to sign with Bills; Blake goes to Cardinals [9:00 AM]
Pro Football Weekly reports: With strong interest on both sides, free-agent DT Sam Adams appears to be headed to Buffalo...
Spikes adds bite to Bills defense [5:19 AM]
D and C reports: '�I feel born again,� said Spikes, a first-round pick out of Auburn in 1998 who endured seasons of 3-13, 4-12, 4-12, 6-10 and 2-14 in Cincinnati. "It took 12 days (on the market), but it felt like two months. I�m just happy where I�m at. I�m happy with everything that comes with this and I�m looking forward to starting it up.�'
Spikes lured by Jennings [5:19 AM]
Shout! reports: They're not scouts, coaches, owners or general managers, but Takeo Spikes and Jonas Jennings have spent time recruiting one another during their relatively short football careers. Today, Spikes, 26, was officially welcomed as a Buffalo Bill.
Playoffs now Spikes' top priority in Buffalo [9:16 PM]
AP reports: '``I know I said last week that I want to just smell the playoffs,'' Spikes said Wednesday in his first public appearance as a Bill. ``Let me correct that. I do want to smell the playoffs. But I want to bite the Super Bowl.'''
Bills Introduce Linebacker Takeo Spikes [6:20 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: "Yes and they should be. I don't think that it will be any question with guys here. Just talking to some of them in passing. We want to win. I know I said early last week I just wanted to smell the playoffs but let me correct that. I do want to smell the playoffs but I want to bite the Super Bowl. Everybody is talking about the Super Bowl and now there is no reason that we shouldn't be making a run for it."

AP reports: Takeo, who was introduced at press conferemce, holds up his #51 jersey. He formerly wore #55 but that number is worn by Eddie Robinson.
Raiders add three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle [4:51 PM]
ESPN reports: The addition of Stubblefield, a three-time Pro Bowl performer, provides the Raiders with a veteran insurance policy in the event starter Sam Adams does not return to the club. Adams was released by the Raiders last month for cap purposes, has visited with other teams, and seems to be focused in on a deal with the Buffalo Bills.
Goodbye Newman [4:04 PM]
ESPN reports: Newman reunites with former coach Phillips
Bills LB Keith Newman chose to return to the defensive system he learned from his former head coach when he selected Falcons over Texans. Wade Phillips, the former Bills HC, turned around the Falcons defense last year as its DC. Newman agreed to an incentive laden three-year, $3.4 million contract. The contract can be voided into a two-year deal. Based on his playing time, there are incentives in the contract that could add around $800,000 a year early in the deal. The Bills replaced Newman by signing Texans LB Jeff Posey and Bengals LB Takeo Spikes. Newman was considered one of the better 3-4 outside LBs available in free agency. The Texans and Falcons are 3-4 teams.
WR/KR in Buffalo on Thursday [3:46 PM]
WNSA reports: MarTay Jenkins' visit with the Buffalo Bills is on hold until Thursday. Jenkins is now scheduled to arrive in Buffalo on Wednesday night and will meet with the team on Thursday. Jenkins is one of the league's top kick returners and is also developing as a solid receiver.
Designation tags are risky business for teams [3:44 PM]
ESPN reports: The franchising of Price was pure brilliance by general manager Tom Donahoe.
Spikes Has Arrived In Buffalo [2:21 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Recently-acquired LB Takeo Spikes has arrived in Buffalo. Spikes will be officially introduced as the newest member of the Buffalo Bills at 3:15 PM this afternoon. Listen to the press conference live on buffalobills.com. After his press conference, Spikes will read through some of the emails he's received. Here's your chance to send him a question or comment and welcome him to Buffalo.
Former Bills Safety Steve Freeman - Now NFL Back Judge [1:42 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: From 1975 until late in the �84 campaign, Freeman was in on a lot of plays. And in fact, did not miss a game. A 144-game streak. However, during a November game against New England, he suffered a ruptured thigh muscle. The Bills lost that afternoon to go 0-11, but it never crossed Freeman�s mind to let the injury heal properly and finish the disappointing season on the sideline.
Vikes' back pays visit to Bills [9:03 AM]
Buffalo News reports: ' The Buffalo Bills took a look at two more free agents Tuesday, bringing in running back Moe Williams and defensive tackle Henry Ford. Arizona Cardinals wide receiver/kicker returner MarTay Jenkins is scheduled to visit today.'
Buffalo already knows Dyson [5:15 AM]
D and C reports: '�I just want to go somewhere where I can make a difference and make plays,� Dyson said. �Buffalo has a Hall of Fame quarterback and he looks for his receivers to make plays, so to have an opportunity like that would be something I would definitely look forward to.�'
Bills are off-season's big winner so far [5:14 AM]
Fox Sports reports: 'In essence, the Bills dropped nine spots in the first round � the No. 14 they sent to the Patriots compared to the No. 23 they acquired from the Falcons � and traded a receiver to land a franchise quarterback in Bledsoe. On the surface, it�s an outstanding deal for the Bills. Scratch the surface, and it�s even more impressive.'
The Week That Was: Falcons' crest [2:28 AM]
NFL.com reports: As the NFL continues its' "trade renaissance," one deal has stood above the rest and will impact two teams greatly in 2003. While the Falcons hope their latest move makes them "peerless," the Bills selected a new route for their receiving corps.
Bills get defensive [2:28 AM]
NFL.com reports: Look for the Bills to readjust their offensive focus to a more defensive-friendly scheme that places greater emphasis on the run and includes higher-percentage, ball-control passing. And look for their defense to give the offense more favorable field position by turning up the heat against quarterbacks, such as Tom Brady of the New England Patriots and Chad Pennington of the Jets, that often made producing big plays against Buffalo look a bit too easy.
Four ways to handle star players [2:27 AM]
NFL.com reports: The best example of how to control the market and get full value for a star player even when he's out of contract was the Buffalo Bills' handling of WR Peerless Price . Bills GM Tom Donahoe was not about to let a talented young receiver just go free and sign with a new team. He decided to put a franchise tag on him and force teams interested in Price to come forward and surrender a high draft pick for the right to sign him. Atlanta surfaced and eventually gave the Bills the 23rd pick in the first round for the rights to Price. The Bills got value for a player they could have easily kept on their roster. As one GM said to me, "I would have kept Price on my roster with Drew Bledsoe under center, but it was a masterful job by Donahoe of getting great value for him." Teams flirting with Price tried to get away with offering the Bills a second-round pick, but Donahoe held his ground and got what he wanted.
Bowen becomes Redskin [2:24 AM]
Washington Times reports: Meanwhile, long snapper Ethan Albright confirmed that he was cut and re-signed last week to take advantage of the veterans' cap credit. He wanted to make the move last year but the NFL wouldn't allow it. He said Cleveland and Buffalo both called during the five minutes he was on the market, but he never had any intention of leaving the Redskins.
Bills To Officially Introduce Takeo Spikes [10:48 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Recently-acquired linebacker Takeo Spikes will be in Buffalo on Wednesday, March 12, to be officially introduced as the newest member of the Buffalo Bills. Bills fans currently have the opportunity to purchase a limited number of Authentic Takeo Spikes Reebok Jerseys by ordering them in the Online Pro Shop. Orders will also be taken now for Reebok Replica Jerseys, which will be first available for delivery on April 11, 2003.
Bills Fans Play Big Role In Recruiting Spikes [3:49 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: "I thought I was coming out in Cincinnati at Paul Brown Stadium that last game of the year," said Spikes. "They made me feel welcome. So that's a big plus. I remember one guy said, 'Play well, Takeo. Just don't hurt anybody so you can get ready for us next year.' It was impressive."
Moe Williams (Vikings) Visits Bills [12:44 PM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: Free Agent running back tours Buffalo.
LeBeau, Spikes together again [8:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Talks between Adams' agent and the Bills appear to be in a holding pattern while the Bills entertain more free agents. Adams, a two-time Pro Bowler, was the key run-stuffer on two AFC Super Bowl teams the last three years (Baltimore and Oakland). He remains interested in joining his friend, Pat Williams, on the Bills' defensive line.'
Bills nail down Spikes [5:31 AM]
D and C reports: 'A dialogue with Adams� agent, Angelo Wright, was kept open through the weekend and the sides spoke again on Monday. �I�m upbeat,� Wright said. �I think both parties recognize Sam could be an integral cog in the Bills getting to a Super Bowl.�'

Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening ReviewBy Russ Fischer - Posted Mar 16, 2010
Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening picks up after the final events of Dragon Age: Origins, and allows players to return to Ferelden to play through a chunk of high-level dungeon crawling. As in the original game, Awakening blends realistically written characters and action, but this time goes heavier on the action.
The Pros
- Adds serious character specialization options
- Entertaining set of new characters
- Less cliché storyline than original game.
The Cons
- Not as much character interaction as main game
- Interface still dense, slightly clunky
- Auto-save system remains insufficient
Not long after BioWare's epic fantasy RPG Dragon Age: Origins released, a small downloadable expansion was made available for players to get a small extra dose of adventure. That DLC, Return to Ostagar, was a bit short and rather unsatisfying. Awakening is the first major expansion for the game, and presents players with far more story and action, and much more satisfaction.
From a gameplay perspective, most of the highs and lows of Origins are found in Awakening. The game world is still rather brown and drab, and actually looks a bit worse for wear now that we gamers had a chance to play BioWare's other recent release, Mass Effect 2. But the sense that this is a modern update to the ideas first presented in BioWare classics like Baldur's Gate persists, and it doesn't take long to be drawn into this dark fantasy world.
Into the Fray Once More
You can jump into Awakenings either by importing a character played during Origins (even one who was killed in the endgame) or by creating a new hero. In the latter case, you'll start as a level 18 Gray Warden. No matter what character you play, the game begins as you approach Vigil's Keep, an outlying Gray Warden fortress protecting the city of Amaranthine, where you're meant to become the new commander. Upon arrival, however, you'll find that Darkspawn have been launching ferocious attacks against the region. Worse, they seem to have increased in intelligence, and there are some who can speak.
There are a host of new features in Awakening: the level cap is raised to 35, there are five new character specializations and a host of new talents and abilities. The end result is that you can develop a far more specialized character than before, which allows for a more tailored combat experience.
And combat is the name of the game here. The core story involves the investigation of this new, smarter strain of Darkspawn, but as the narrative is shorn of the need to step up the entire world, it feels a lot less cliché than the primary original game. The new party members offer a glimpse into some of the darker corners of the Mages Circle and the history of the Dwarves. Two of the main new party members, an Elvish mage and a boastful but wounded Dwarf rogue, offer comedy relief in the cinematic "buddy comedy" mold.
The Skills to Make the Kills
Though the management of inter-party personalities remains important, here you'll also spend a good amount of time figuring out how to best oversee the land around Amaranthine. Do you allocate troops to the city, or the surrounding farms? Can you spare money to upgrade fortifications, and resources to better outfit your soldiers? Some of those concerns are appropriate new avenues to explore, given that you're a higher level character with more responsibilities.
If it Ain't (Very) Broke, Don't Fix It
There was no reason to expect a major overhaul of the game's underlying systems, like party and inventory management, but some in-depth tweaks would have been useful. PC players will have an easier go of things, as all systems are clearly designed for that platform. The console controls remain an admirable attempt to capture as many mouse and keyboard options as possible. But you'll still find that managing your inventory can be difficult, as there isn't a good, clear way to quickly sort through found items based on their usefulness.
While you can apply more tactics to various party members than ever, managing the full range of combat options can be a daunting task. And while there is a routine auto-save system, you'll want to make regular manual saves, since the auto-save doesn't kick in as often as some would like. Rely on the auto-save and a loss during a surprise battle could set you back an hour of gameplay.
As with Dragon Age: Origins, however, Awakening's technical limitations pale next to the entertainment value of the adventuresome content. If the core role-play is less dramatically gripping than in Origins, the density of combat and the new character customizations pick up the slack. Think of Awakening as the action-heavy semi-sequel to a great character-based story and you'll be on the proper path to another couple dozen hours of enthralling play.

I think if he needs a burp, he won't go deep into sleep, because the gas bubble will be making his tummy hurt. So if he's nursing to sleep, he's fine.
When my son was tiny and still needed burping after each feeding, I wouldn't even sit up in bed to do it. While still lying on my side, I would prop him up against my hip and pat/rub his back to help get the bubble up. Talk about a lazy nurser! LOL. But seriously, when you're exhausted, even these tiny measures can make a world of difference in how much rest you get and how you feel the next morning.

Tammy Wynard, North Central College visiting instructor of health and physical education and coordinator of health education, talks on skills-based health ed.
Tammy S. Wynard, visiting instructor of health and physical education and coordinator of health education, co-presented at the annual Illinois Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance conference in St. Charles, Ill., in November. The conference brought together some 3,000 national and state participants, including other higher education professionals and those who provide direct teaching to children and adolescents, as well as pre-professional students.
Wynard's session, titled "More Practice, Less Lecture: Skills-Based Health Education," focused on helping participants know how to use skill-based activities related to communication, stress management, decision making and goal setting that reach the visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners in a school health classroom. The session provided an overview of how class time should be devoted to these universal life skills. Participants also gained insights by engaging in sample activities that connected the skills to specific content areas, such as nutrition, emotional wellness and sexual health.
Due to the positive response to this session, Wynard and her co-presenter from the University of Illinois Community Health Extension office were invited to give the same presentation at the DuPage County Health & Physical Education Institute Day in March 2012 at Naperville North High School.
Wynard joined North Central's faculty in fall 2011. She earned a B.S. in community health education/speech communications from Illinois State University and an M.S. in school and college health education from Indiana University.

Steak and Mushroom Kabobs
(Makes about 4 servings)
16-20 oz. Top Sirloin, New York Steak, Tri-Tip Steak, or Petite Sirloin (use steak with less than 10% fat for South Beach Diet)
8 oz white mushrooms, washed and dried
Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 T Worcestershire Sauce (omit for Paleo)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. Vege-Sal or salt
fresh ground black pepper to taste (I like a lot of pepper in this.)
Put steak pieces into large ziploc bag, pour in the marinade mixture, and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour. After 1 hour, wash mushrooms, dry with paper towel, and cut larger mushrooms in half if needed to make them all the same size. Add mushrooms to marinating steak and marinate one hour more.
Grill steak to desired temperature; I cooked mine about 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Add 1 more minute per side for medium or 2 more minutes per side for medium-well. (If you like your meat quite rare you might want to make kabobs with just the meat and cook the mushrooms in a Vegetable Basket for the Grill.)
Let meat rest a minute or two before you take it off the skewers. Serve hot and enjoy!

Off-topic post here: My email seems to have been corrupted in some way or another, and I don't know what to do. I've been getting dozens of "returned" emails that are spam mailings sent with my return address, albeit with somebody else's name attributed to it. (e.g. From: "Arthur Weiss" <email@example.com>).
Do I have any recourse here or should I just close the account and start a new one somewhere? And if so, can anybody recommend a good email host?
Thanks in advance,
A very irritated Alex Williams

The thing is, I am getting "returns" from dozens of different domains:

MAILER-DAEMON@ mx.gwi.net
MAILER-DAEMON@ geocities.com
MAILER-DAEMON@ eve.nldesign.com
MAILER-DAEMON@ mail.mc.net

I think I am just going to bag it and start a new account somewhere.

how long has this been going on? sometimes it's best to sit on it a bit and see if it will go away.
as far as an email accounts go, I'm a strong believer in your local ISP(Internet Service Provider). how are you getting on-line? is there an email component to that service?_________________________

Alex - If you start a new account and it continues... your machine is the culprit.
If not, you may be being spoofed by a server with the Klez virus(just a guess).

I am pretty sure that my personal email address has been spoofed by spammers and inserted as the reply-to address on their mass mailings. Here's a link to an interesting article from soomeone who had the exact same experience as I am having now:

Oh my gosh, Alex--I just read the article. That is terrible! How do these people get our addresses? Buy them from some place we've legitimately contacted for whatever reason (contest entry, etc.)? Pluck it out of thin air? Scary!
Ignorant as I was (and still am) about the internet, I did have the strong feeling that it wouldn't be a good idea to use my name as part of my e-mail address, when I first got my computer. It came with so many minutes free if you signed up on AOL , and that's one of the things that made me not sign up with them (whew)--my first submission was already taken, and they gave me a "suggestion" consisting of parts of my actual name. I exited. I imagine it would be fairly easy to find an active account by guesswork, using a huge place like yahoo, say, and trying common names/nicknames.

I had this for a couple of days at the beginning of the year on my hotmail account. I was inundated with undeliverable messages and one message from somebody complaining about what "I" had sent. I apologised, explained that it wasn't me, and advised them that responding to spam wasn't a good idea.
I also complained to hotmail because I was worried this meant that someone had access to my account -- which has some very personal stuff on it. This is what I got back:
Hello bingley,
Thank you for writing to MSN Hotmail.
I'm Davie and I am responding to your complaint that your account is being used
for spam.
I apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced. I can understand your
concern on having your address associated with unsolicited emails.
I have researched your account and it appears you are the only person logging
into it. For security, we would suggest changing your password and Secret
Question/Answer at this time. A good rule of thumb is to change your passwords
Someone has forged, your e-mail address as the 'reply-to' or "from" field on a
piece of unsolicited e-mail. This does not require the person to log into the
account. Most likely, it was either a typographical error on the sender's part."
Should you have other concerns please feel free to contact MSN Hotmail Customer
Support again.

I have also received e-mails like those you describe. After opening one or two I discovered that it was a more elaborate form of spamming and now I just delete. There have been fewer and fewer in my inbox as time goes by. Unless you are very unhappy with your e-mail box for additional reasons, just ride it out.

I think this is a spammer technique. Probably Rubrick, Max or musick would be able to say more.
Four things:
1. Don't subscribe to mailing lists
2. When you forward on mail - make sure to delete all the forwarded addresses contained in the body. Also BCC names rather than CC or include them in your To: line
3. Filter
4. Dont' reply to the mail or click on the unsubscribe link You will be spammed for life.
Finally, contacting Yahoo! MSN or the other web mail companies won't make any difference. They are giving you a free email so why should they do anything else for you?
If you really want to avoid spam then use a Unix based mailer instead of a web-based one. Get Pine or Eudora or else install Linux OS and use their platform. You can then get an easy to install spam filter which will include black and white lists which shoudl filter out most of your unwanted mail. I get about five spams a day into my in box but my black list folder collects about 250 a day. You can't stop the crap coming to you but at least you can control where it goes.

For her first museum show, Roanoke-based artist and Hollins University professor Alison Hall creates an intimate room installation inspired by the early Italian Renaissance artist Giotto (1266 - 1377), specifically the architectural forms, frescos, and mosaic floor patterns found in two churches she has visited annually for the last 12 years. Her works are elegant devotionals that celebrate the light, beauty, and history of a country that she connects with on a personal and aesthetic level.

Tough Loss in Beantown…
Game 1 goes to Julia of Julia's Rants…
The Yankees lost to the Boston Red Sox on Friday night, 5-4, in extra innings. The Red Sox had tied the score in the bottom of the 9th against the great Mariano Rivera, with a dramatic two-run home run by Jason Bay. The Red Sox have hit well against Mo in recent years in certain clutch situations, and this, unfortunately, was another example. Kevin Youklis ended it in the 11th inning with a homer off Damaso Marte…
I have been on vacation this week so unfortunately I have been unable to post my usual blogs. I apologize for the lack of greater participation in the latest Yankees-Red Sox series. Like who would schedule a vacation when the Yankees are playing the Red Sox? I know, a bonehead move on my part.
Nevertheless, there are still two games to go. A.J. Burnett will be on the mound today, and Andy Pettitte on Sunday. Regardless of what happens, it should be a good series.
I do want to wish Julia a very Happy Birthday!
Of course, the Yankees have allowed her to start it a little too happily but hopefully there will be sone vinegar in that cake frosting by the end the day! Sorry Julia, just kidding…
Enjoy your day! Well, at least until the final score of today's game…

What is The Riotous Belle?
The Riotous Belle is sort of an alias, popped up in my mind when I was still in junior high and starting this blog. Riotous means wild, infinite and free, just like imaginations. And Belle comes from my last name Isabella, I love it because it sounds pretty.
Why do you blog?
Because I want to share things that inspires me. When people visit my blog I want them to feel like they're visiting my bedroom, being in my most personal sanctuary where I do my favourite things. I just love that awesome feeling of being in your safest place alone yet you can interact with so many people who read this blog at the same time. Feels like being a socially-active introvert... weird but fun.
What's your blog about?A personal diary where I'm taking you to my journey, seeing what I love in my perspective, what I've been doing, and what's in my mind… and fashion takes one big part of it. It's like a private record where you can peek anytime. I post pictures of my own in this blog, but I also blog daily stuff filled with self-talks, girl things & Ryan Gosling pictures in my tumblr, if you want to check that out.
What is your job actually?My day job is running a little dessert & coffee shop called Ninotchka, where I contain my hobby in baking & eating. I have a shop of clothing and sunglasses, Riots Barbie. I also play guitar and make music.
What do you use to take & edit pictures on the blog?I use Samsung NX Mini with standard lens and Samsung NX 3000 with 45mm f 1.8 lens. I edit them with Adobe Photoshop CS2.
Are you homeschooling? Why, and how is the system?Yes I was homeschooled since junior high and I wrote a post about my homeschooling experience here.
What's your height / weight? How old are you?
158 cm / 50 kg. And I'm currently twenty-two years old.
Do you always buy all the stuff you posted?Most of them, yes. The rest of them are gifts from my friends, mom and dad, and my readers! But it doesn't mean that you have to spend a lot of money. I'm quite a cheapskate (in a good way, I hope), I do thrift-hunting anywhere. As soon as I arrive at some new country I travel to, I usually go to the nearest thrift / vintage stores in the area. You can't believe what kind of stuff you can find there, and also it's a total penny-pincher. Each piece of clothing in my closet, they all have interesting stories to tell. :)
What kind of guitar & ukulele do you play?I play acoustic guitar. My dad taught me with his old acoustic guitar, and I got my first guitar as a birthday present when I was 9 years old. On my 12th birthday I got another acoustic guitar from my mom's friend. On my 18th birthday I finally bought myself Cort acoustic guitar which I currently have now, and I recently bought a pink Yadars ukulele from ebay.
What kind of music do you listen to?
I listen to any kinds of music; my most-played tracks are from Paramore, Blink 182, +44, New Found Glory. I also listen to folk and acoustic music. A few of my favourite musicians: She & Him, Daughter, Now Now, Halfnoise, Bon Iver, Camera Obscura, Gregory and The Hawk, and Birdy.

A suspicious bag that sparked the evacuation of a city bus in Kent Monday morning turned out to be something left over from a bomb response training exercise.
DB Gates with King County Sheriff's Office said the bag was found and reported by a passenger just before 8 a.m.
Roads in the area were closed for three hours as the KCSO bomb squad worked to clear and secure the scene.
Gates said the fake device was actually made to look like a real pipe bomb. She said some members of the bomb squad on the scene began putting the pieces together and realized the bus they were dealing with was one of the same ones that had been used in the training last week.
However, since they couldn't be 100 percent sure, they had to follow the bomb disposal guidelines to ensure it wasn't an actual bomb.
Gates said it appears they must not have double checked that all the fake devices were off the bus before putting it back in service.

Healing But Not Curing
Last week I discussed the book Healing, Hype, or Harm? edited by Edzard Ernst. I was particularly struck by one of the essays in that book: "Healing but not Curing" by Bruce Charlton, MD, a reader in evolutionary psychiatry at the Department of Psychology of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Charlton proposes a new way of looking at CAM. He describes three common attitudes:
- CAM does good and should be integrated with orthodox medicine.
- CAM is worthless and should be discarded.
- CAM may or may not do good and this should be decided using science.
He rejects all three. In his view,
- Alternative therapies do good.
- From a strictly medical perspective they are worthless.
- They should not be integrated with orthodox medicine.
- Because they are explained non-scientifically, they cannot be evaluated using the criteria of medical science.
He suggests that alternative therapies be regarded as spiritual practices. They are about making people feel better ('healing') not about mending their dysfunctional brains and bodies ('curing'). (more…)

A no-frills hunting machine, the Model 336 is a rock-solid Marlin rifle that you can rely on. The 336 is built around a semi-pistol grip stock with a 20-inch barrel and a full length tube magazine. The solid, flat top receiver and side ejection of the 336 allow for easy optic attachment. The design of the Marlin 336 allows the user to remove the lever pivot screw with a common screwdriver, allowing removal of the lever, bolt and ejector for maintenance, which means that the user can clean the barrel from the breech, like a bolt-action rifle, avoiding wear to the muzzle. This rifle features a hooded front sight with an adjustable leaf rear sight and comes with the original factory box. Its wood, metal, and bore are all in very good condition.

Clint Hurdle is the man for the job
In what Pirates President Frank Coonelly called an "exhaustive search process," the Pittsburgh baseball club has their man.
Hurdle comes to the Steel City after being a part of two of the last three World Series. The batting coach for the Rangers, who happened to have the league's highest team batting average is notoriously known for his tenure as manager of the Colorado Rockies. He was at the helm of the Rockies from 2002 until the beginning of 2009. In that time span he oversaw the development of young prospects such as Brad Hawpe, Troy Tulowitzki, Clint Barmes, Garett Atkins and Matt Holliday. That litany of potential is rivaled by that of the crop of youngsters the Pirates currently have now and the likes that are rising through the system.
The experience and track record of Hurdle are one thing, but there are plenty more characteristics to attribute to this well rounded man.
Hurdle exudes confidence.
Even the harshest critics of the Pirates buy into the demeaner of Hurdle.
Ahem, Ron Cook.
Cook said, "He's better than the franchise deserves."
Hurdle has already implemented catchphrases that the Pirates marketing team needs to play on.
Describing his team as a "wolfpack," Hurdle said he plans for everyone involved with the organization to go "all in."
I've been all in 21 years of my life, Clint. I'm ready for more to join me.
Aside from his on the field duties, Hurdle is a family man.
His family of four is a tight-knit groupe for good reasons. His daughter suffers from Prader-Willi
syndrome, a disease with 1 in 25,000 probability. Hurdle said a big reason why he chose the Pittsburgh job was to be close to specialized medical facilites in the city that cater especially to patients with the rare syndrome.
All in all, Hurdle took the job to meet objectives. He wante dto get back into managing and had a chance to take the Mets job. Both New York and Pittsburgh are in rebuilding situations but there is just something lucrative about bringing a forgotten team back to prominence. Hurdle sees that and wants to be the man to right the ship.
He has already began a grassroots campaign in Pittsburgh since it was announced he would be hired. Hurdle was seen Sunday at the Steelers game and Monday at the Penguins games. The Pirates play third fiddle in Pittsburgh so its good that Hurdle is petitioning for some noteriety. In the business thats called good public relations.
The Pirates really haven't seen that in the last three, make the 18 years.

Good luck…hope Hurdle works out for ya. Didn't know that about his daughter…sad. Glad he did what was right for his family :O)
I like Hurdle in Pittsburgh, this should have been no brainer choice for him over the Mets job, he has so many more possibilities in the burgh….
I truly think Hurdle is the best man for the job of getting the foundation set for a Pirates team that will not only beat the losing season streak, but provide countless moments to remember in the Pirates near future.
Hurdle understands the trials and tribulations of a young player and has the fortitude and gump to tell it like it is to provide an honest and trusting environment in the clubhouse and on the field.
Great pick for Manager, and can't wait to see his first change this Spring.
Rays Renegade
The Pirates are due and it could be this year. Nice choice!
—Mark Gauthier
I think you have a nice young core of position players, but the pitching isn't quite their yet. Clint is the right man for the job.

A 38-year-old Clovis woman was killed early Friday morning in a crash north of Hereford.
Tina Howell was killed around 3 a.m. (CDT) when a tractor trailer she was driving crashed into another on Highway 385 about 3 miles outside of Hereford, according to Texas Highway Patrol Communications Operator Carolyn Wakefield.
Omar Wharton, the driver of the other tractor trailer, was injured and was treated at Hereford General Hospital and released, Wakefield said.
Wakefield said Howell's truck, a 2009 Freightliner, crossed the center line and collided with Wharton's 2007 Peterbuilt.
Howell was thrown from her truck, which caught fire and burned, Wakefield said.
Howell was pronounced dead at the scene.
Wakefield said the weather was reported as clear and dry at the time of the crash.
Deaf Smith County Sheriff Brent Harrison said the road was closed and traffic diverted for some time as responders worked to extinguish the burning truck and investigate the crash.
Attempts to reach Howell's family for comment were unsuccessful.

Results From the Transitional Jobs Reentry Demonstration
MDRC recently released its final report on the Transitional Jobs Reentry Demonstration (TJRD), Returning to Work After Prison. The report has important implications for policymakers, researchers and practitioners—as well as for prisoners. Some 700,000 people are released from prison each year. Two-thirds of them are later rearrested and half return to prison within three years. Finding steady work is particularly daunting for them, since former prisoners often have low levels of education and skills and no recent work experience. They are also concentrated in a small number of struggling urban neighborhoods that lack resources to assist the reentry process. Many states have developed prisoner reentry initiatives in recent years. At the federal level, the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative, the National Reentry Resource Center, and, most recently, the Second Chance Act of 2008 have supported these efforts.
While transitional jobs are seen as promising, little is known about what strategies are effective in helping former prisoners find and hold jobs. The TJRD was designed, with support from the Joyce Foundation, to help fill this gap. TJRD focused on programs providing subsidized temporary jobs, support services, and job placement help. It assessed how such programs affected employment and recidivism during the two years after people entered the study. The findings show that transitional jobs can increase the overall rate of employment for former prisoners after release. These increases in employment, however, were found to be due solely to the transitional jobs themselves, with little evidence that they led to better unsubsidized employment outcomes over a two-year period. Thus, the study concludes, researchers and practitioners should also test other strategies. Future tests could examine extending the period of the transitional job, including through vocational training as a core component or through a greater focus on the transition to regular employment by offering stronger financial incentives for participants.
We encourage adult education practitioners, especially, to read the full report, for more detail.
Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge Announced
This week the $26 million Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge, a funding competition, designed to foster regional collaborative enterprises among research, education, industry, and government, was announced. The challenge is a partnership among the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development Administration and National Institute of Standards and Technology, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration, the Small Business Administration, and the National Science Foundation. Its goal is to support advanced manufacturing and stimulate economic growth. An important component of the competition is to engage education and training providers, such as community colleges, to assure that workers are prepared to move into new jobs arising from public-private manufacturing partnerships. OVAE helped develop this initiative and will be working with the funders and seven other agencies to support the awardees.
Accountability—Rewarding High-Performing Programs
Investing in America's Future: A Blueprint for Transforming Career and Technical Education ushered in the prospect of an era of results-driven CTE. One of the specific reforms proposed in the Blueprint is to reward programs for results, for example, reducing gaps in educational attainment and employment between different groups of students, by linking a portion of available funding to outcomes. There is a variety of ways that results and funding may be linked. One is by performance-based funding (PBF), which several states have voluntarily adopted for their adult education programs. PBF has been adopted in CTE by a small number of states, including Washington, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. In Washington PBF is not limited to CTE, but also includes programs in both adult and postsecondary education.
In 2006, Washington's decennial strategic master plan for higher education set two important goals, combining traditional student achievement and economic development goals to create a quality higher education system that (1) provides expanded opportunity for more Washingtonians to complete postsecondary degrees, certificates, and apprenticeships, and (2) drives greater economic prosperity, innovation, and opportunity. Also in 2006, the Washington State Board for Community & Technical Education began PBF, using state funds to reward community colleges based on the accumulation of "momentum points" awarded when students achieve specified goals. Washington rewards student progress from wherever students begin and grants more points for gains in pre-college rather than in college-level work. Short term, intermediate outcomes are used to allocate momentum points. Once momentum points are earned, the funding attached to this achievement is added to the college's base budget. Thus, colleges compete with themselves rather than with one another.
Washington's community and technical colleges increased their performance across all student outcome categories after their "Achievement Points" PBF plan took effect in 2006. PBF led the colleges to link PBF priorities with strategic planning and accreditation activities, and to focus on improving instruction, tutoring, assessment, and advisement.
Rewarding performance over process enables states to reward high-performing programs, assist low-performing programs, and develop and implement their vision of CTE transformation in a way that meets their economic priorities and community needs. Accountability innovations included in the Blueprint build on the initiatives of Washington and several other states by using Perkins funding to encourage efficient resource allocation, greater awareness and attention to state priorities, and a results-oriented education for all students.
For further information on PBF in Washington and other states, see the National Governors Association publication Degrees for What Jobs? (www.nga.org/center). Those interested in Performance-Based Funding in Adult Education may follow the hyperlink to the 2007 MPR report to OVAE by that title.

Tim Shoemaker, a senior account manager at Millward Brown, volunteered his time with a team of North Central students who prepared for an American Marketing Association (AMA) competition and finished in the top 25. Shoemaker offered advice on topics ranging from gathering and analyzing market research data to using graphic design and communication skills in presentations. Students visited Millward Brown's office in Lisle, IL, to work on their project, tour the facility and learn about the latest trends and technology used in market research. The International Collegiate Case Competition sponsored by The Collegiate Chapters Council of the AMA is a yearlong event that brings top marketing students together to work on a marketing challenge submitted by Nintendo, this year's sponsoring organization.

I welcome mr potato head with open arms
How do you guys see Woodson running this team? Will he play a strict half court type of offense? Will our defense improve under his leadership? Will we see an ISO-Joe redux with ISO-Melo? Will he shave his goddamn beard?
This thread is all about our new interim head coach Mike Woodson. Welcome to the New York Knickerbockers and Congratulations on your recent promotion. Goodluck Woody, you're gonna need it
Signature created by AmareforPresident
ISO offense is usually unwatchable... but if it gets us Ws, **** it, it's all about winning.
Good luck, your going to need it!
Dude, you just hate Knicks, don't you?
If he can get Joe Johnson a $120 million dollar contract then he can get Melo to flourish.
Carmelo's shooting form has changed drastically in the past 48 hours.
he can help us get J smoove!
"I'm more concern how Melo is gonna play with Lin" Joe Budden
So far 24 minutes into the Woodson era he has us playing defence and team basketball.
Melo passing the ball well and Lin getting steals and setting people up for easy fast break points
offense seems pretty simple, i don't know if theirs a technical name for it or anything, moving it around till we get an open shot and if we cant get the open man melo/baron are definitely not bad options during very low shot clock situations.
Image hotlinked from a malware website // removed
Honestly Woodson didn't do anything different.
It was the same offense EXCEPT the players were alot more motivated and made the extra pass and played unselfish.
They also decided to play defence tonight.

Sweet dealFebruary 15,2013
Sometimes its good to press a point even when you know that in the end youre going to lose. Thats the case with the tax on sugar-sweetened beverages that is losing its fizz in the Legislature.
The idea is to add 1 cent per ounce of sweetened drinks. Thus, a 24-ounce soda would come with a 24-cent tax.
Not surprisingly, Vermont retailers hate this idea, especially those along the Connecticut River who say shoppers will travel to New Hampshire to buy their beverages. Gov. Peter Shumlin never liked the idea, arguing that the tax was regressive, hitting low-income consumers hardest and that it was not sufficiently punitive to effect much of a reduction in soda purchases.
One wonders if the governor is aware of the contradictions afflicting his view: It will hurt consumers, but not enough to make them quit drinking sweet drinks; it will hurt business, but it will not cause people to stop buying. Some consumers will shop in New Hampshire, as they do already, though at least one study suggests that for most people the tax is not enough of a reason to drive across the river.
Supporters of the beverage tax say that experience has demonstrated that taxes cut down on consumption. The tax on tobacco has yielded good information on how taxes at varying rates affect consumer choices. Especially among poor people and especially among kids, all indications are that the tax would cut down on the consumption of harmful beverages.
Thats why the Low-Income Advocacy Council is among the organizations supporting the tax. So are the leading health organizations that are working to diminish illnesses such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Health Commissioner Harry Chen must be grinding his teeth at having to represent the Shumlin point of view against taking on one of the most serious public health problems now plaguing Vermonters.
The tax is an elegant solution to several problems. It would discourage harmful behavior, and it would bring in up to $24 million that could be used for health programs that are calling out for funding.
Retailers make the same argument that they have made in relation to tobacco: It will cut into our sales and hurt our business. But that is precisely the point. The demands of public health make it a plus if Vermonters buy less soda. They should buy less soda. This point of view may be dismissed as the demand of meddling, nanny-state liberals, except that the obesity crisis is a reality that cant be denied. It is like the lung cancer and heart disease crisis caused by tobacco. Sugary drinks are not the only cause of obesity, but they are one of the most obvious, direct and insidious.
The political stars are not lined up for the tax, but that does not mean the case should not be made. The leaders in both houses have issued mutterings about how the tax would probably not be so effective and that a broader attack on obesity would be more worthwhile. Meanwhile, they have been having fun with the Vermont Grocers Association, attending a recent luncheon and competing in a grocery bagging contest. It is not insignificant that Sen. Richard Mazza, an influential legislator, is a store owner.
At one time it seemed like too much of a reach to prohibit smoking in bars. But then it seemed ridiculous not to. Over time anti-tobacco forces got their message across that tobacco kills, and attitudes across the nation have changed.
The argument about soda and other sugary drinks needs to be made again and again. Coke and Pepsi are huge corporations with a broad reach. And they are making Americans sick. They are pouring huge amounts of sugar down the throats of the American consumer, and the peoples health is suffering.
Of course, the consumer is not an innocent victim. He or she makes the choice. But as with tobacco, we can insist that the choice come with a price that helps compensate society for the costs of treating the illnesses that are a consequence of the choice.MORE IN EditorialsProtesters converged on a bank in Montpelier early this week to show their solidarity with the...
