Wendell Berry to Speak at Ferrum
"Modern Day Thoreau" to speak at Ferrum College
Wendell Berry to appear as part of Southern Draft Animal Days.
Ferrum, Va. (September 14, 2010) –Wendell Berry, a noted authority on rural living and accomplished author and public speaker will bring his message of living in harmony with the natural world to the Blue Ridge Institute and Museum at Ferrum College on Saturday, September 18. Berry will speak in Vaughn Chapel beginning at 7 p.m. Berry's appearance coincides with The Southern Draft Animal Days, which will showcase the way horses, mules and oxen can be used in modern agriculture in place of tractors and other motor-dependant machinery.
Berry's thoughts on rural living have brought him wide acclaim and a devoted following. Berry lives on his farm in Port Royal, Kentucky, where he espouses a "back to the earth" lifestyle. Despite his rural roots he has taught at Stanford University, Georgetown College, New York University, the University of Cincinnati, and Bucknell University. He taught at his alma mater, the University of Kentucky from 1964 to 1977, and again from 1987 to 1993. Berry has won numerous literary awards including a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship. He has authored more than 40 books of poetry, fiction and essays.
Woody Crenshaw, owner of the Floyd Country Store in Floyd, Va., and an architect of the Round The Mountain, Southwest Virginia Craft Trail referred to Berry as a, "modern day Thoreau," in reference to the noted philosopher and writer Henry David Thoreau who in 1854 published the book, Walden which covered the two years he communed with nature at Walden Pond in Massachusetts. Among other themes the book is considered a manual for self reliance.
"Wendell Berry's message about living in harmony with the natural world is important for modern culture," said Crenshaw. "He speaks about a consciousness and perception which is needed if we are all going to live in harmony in this world."
Jason Rutledge, who is bringing the Southern Draft Animal Days to Ferrum College on September 17 & 18, explained that the technology which will be on display is in keeping with Berry's message. "Draft animals can accomplish virtually anything that can be done with a motorized vehicle," said Rutledge, who added, "only they do so with much less impact on the environment whether it's the actual ground or the carbon footprint."
In addition to Berry's talk on Saturday night, the event will feature demonstrations of horse drawn technology in both logging and agricultural techniques. It will also feature a horse pulling contest, a parade of breeds, live music and local food. In addition there will be a tack vendor expo, and hands-on learning opportunities with horse drawn technology. The Southern Draft Animal Days will be located at the Blue Ridge Institute and Museum on the Ferrum College Campus.
Tickets for the event are $12 per day. Attendees may purchase a $20 ticket to cover both days. Additional information can be found at www.southerndraftanimaldays.com.

Here's a deep confession, I have a bag addiction. Come look in my closest and there are at least 4 messenger bags, 4 bicycle specific back packs, hydration bags and then panniers are end less. Constantly the search is on to find the most stylish, yet functional, bag possible.
Here's my top picks so far :
The brand is known by most outdoor enthusiasts. The company has been around for a long time and catered originally towards the messenger bag. Today Timbuk2 makes dozens of styles that are all available in various colors and fabric types. Even making a tech line for your laptop carrying wifi hunters.
SealLine Urban Backpack – Small
When waterproof is your goal, SealLine has been a huge player in dry bags for years and now they bring that knowledge to backpacks or messenger bags. Personally, my favorite is the small Urban Backpack that is air tight to keep all electronics or clothing fully try.
Basil Panniers
Styling and profiling. Awesome panniers that attach to your rear rack system. Born and bread in Europe which means not only are they stylish but they have function.
Knog Franks Dog
This is my cherished laptop bag used for travel, work and heading to Starbucks where you must look the part. This keeps my Apple Macbook Pro safe, utilizing a mounting pannier hanger I can snap the bag on my rear rack or strap it to my back with the messenger straps. There is even a pull out storm cover to wrap around the bag to keep everything dry in downpour.

Choosing the Right Bird
With beauty only nature can create, a life expectancy that often extends far beyond our own, and the ability to communicate with us in our own language, it is no wonder that the companion bird is fast becoming "man's best friend."
Staring roles in movie blockbusters, television commercials, variety shows, and print campaigns ignite the "WOW FACTOR!" in all of us. Before you know it you are headed out to purchase a bird of your own.
Pet Birds make great companions for adults and kids. They keep us healthy, teach responsibility, and form bonds with us that are irreplaceable. It is important, however, to get the facts about pet birds. Selecting the bird that is right for you, requires a little bit of time and research.
Here are some sample questions you may want to ask yourself when researching what kind of bird is best for you:
How much do you want to spend for your new pet bird?
A Macaw can be very expensive while parakeets, finches and canaries are much more affordable.
How much noisy do you want your bird to be?
Some parrots can be very loud and this could present problems for apartment dwellers. But some can have a very low noise level. Finches and canaries in particular are more sedate and peaceful.
Are you looking for a personal companion or a family pet?
Some parrots prefer a single owner while others like to interact with many people and are more family oriented.
Do you want a lot of personal play time with your pet bird?
Many parrots like to be handles and cuddled while finches and canaries do not.
How much space do you have available for your bird?
Remember that you will need a cage for your new pet bird. Large birds need large cages and large cages can be costly. Think of all the things you will need to house your bird and be prepared for the expense you will incur.
Finally, are you looking for a lifelong commitment?
Remember many parrots will live for 50 years or more, while parakeets have a lifespan of about 8 years.
The bottom line is that birds make a wonderful, captivating, and interactive pet. Do you homework before you make your choice.

Continuing on our Italian theme… we seem to have really eaten a lot of Italian lately… after trying to get a late-notice table at a few other places, we booked a Saturday night dinner at Portofino at New Farm a couple of weekends ago. We've eaten there quite a few times, but haven't been in absolutely ages, so were surprised to find upon rocking up for our booking that the decor had changed, and so had apparently the ownership. We were somewhat dubious, however were willing to see how it compared.
The main highlight of Portofino, which otherwise used to be known as Cafe Portofino, is the large cannot-miss-it display cabinet full of Italian desserts and sweets. So many diners seem to come here just for dessert after eating at other restaurants, which was quite evident on the night.
Dinner menu items otherwise include a variety of pastas, pizzas and Italian mains, all very reasonably priced.
We started with a good old basic bruschetta for $10. Serving size was quite large, there were 3 pieces of crusty bread with a pile of tomato atop. I thought the bread was a bit too crusty and overdone and thought the whole thing was a bit too run-of-the-mill, however L disagreed with me and really liked it.
L decided on a pasta, the spaghetti con vongole ($18.50); spaghetti with garlic, chilli, clams, olive oil and parsley. The taste was there, strong flavours of chilli and garlic, however once the clam shells were gone, a bit light on with the seafood, and the dish definitely visually needed more colour.
I had never had a pizza at Portofino and was very much in the mood for one. My Dante pizza, of tomato base with mozzarella, pancetta, artichokes and olives ($19) was a good size and was excellent, one of the best pizzas I have had in Brisbane. The only thing was that there wasn't much pancetta, despite it supposedly being a main ingredient. The base was thin and edges were crusty.
We ordered our desserts from the cabinet. L had an assortment; hazelnut meringue, ganache filled meringue, and a nutty, cherry fudge log, whereas I had a Monte Nero, an Italian pastry. All of these were rather delicious and a great choice for dessert.
Portofino is still a solid choice for a reasonably priced Italian meal. We definitely believe their drawing card is the window of beautiful Italian biscuits and pastries! Head there for dessert and try it out.

Walking - Part 3 of 3
Thoreau Reader: Home - Walking Intro - Walking Part 1 - Walking Part 2
"The depth of his perception found likeness of law throughout Nature, and I know not any genius who so swiftly inferred universal law from the single fact." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
[1] When looking over a list of mens names in a foreign language, as of military officers or of authors who have written on a particular subject, I am reminded once more that there is nothing in a name. The name Menschikoff, for instance, has nothing in it to my ears more human than a whisker, and it may belong to a rat. As the names of the Poles and Russians are to us, so are ours to them. It is as if they had been named by the childs rigmarole Iery-wiery ichery van, tittle-tol-tan. I see in my mind a herd of wild creatures swarming over the earth, and to each the herdsman has affixed some barbarous sound in his own dialect. The names of men are of course as cheap and meaningless as Bose and Tray, the names of dogs.
[2] Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus, and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own. At present our only true names are nick-names. I knew a boy who from his peculiar energy was called "Buster" by his playmates, and this rightly supplanted his Christian name. Some travellers tell us that an Indian had no name given him at first, but earned it, and his name was his fame; and among some tribes he acquired a new name with every new exploit. It is pitiful when a man bears a name for convenience merely, who has earned neither name nor fame.
[3] I will not allow mere names to make distinctions for me, but still see men in herds for all them. A familiar name cannot make a man less strange to me. It may be given to a savage who retains in secret his own wild title earned in the woods. We have a wild savage in us, and a savage name is perchance somewhere recorded as ours. I see that my neighbor, who bears the familiar epithet William, or Edwin, takes it off with his jacket. It does not adhere to him when asleep or in anger, or aroused by any passion or inspiration. I seem to hear pronounced by some of his kin at such a time, his original wild name in some jaw-breaking or else melodious tongue.
[4] Here is this vast, savage, howling Mother of ours, Nature lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard, and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man, a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.
[5] In society, in the best institutions of men it is easy to detect a certain precocity. When we should still be growing children, we are already little men. Give mea culture which imports much muck from the meadows, and deepens the soil, not that which trusts to heating manures, and improved implements and modes of culture only.
[6] Many a poor sore-eyed student that I have heard of, would grow faster both intellectually and physically, if, instead of sitting up so very late, he honestly slumbered a fools allowance.
[7] There may be an excess even of informing light. Niepce,(1) a Frenchman, discovered "actinism," that power in the suns rays which produces a chemical effect; that granite rocks, and stone structures, and statues of metal "are all alike destructively acted upon during the hours of sunshine, and but for provisions of nature no less wonderful, would soon perish under the delicate touch of the most subtile of the agencies of the universe." But he observed "that those bodies which underwent this change during the day-light possessed the power of restoring themselves to their original conditions during the hours of night, when this excitment was no longer influencing them." Hence it has been inferred that "The hours of darkness are as necessary to the inorganic creation, as we know night and sleep are to the organic kingdom." Not even does the moon shine every night, but gives place to darkness.
[8] I would not have every man nor every part of a man cultivated, any more than I would have very acre of earth cultivated; part will be tillage, but the greater part will be meadow and forest, not only serving an immediate use, but preparing a mould against a distant future, by the annual decay of the vegetation which it supports.
[9] There are other letters for the child to learn than those which Cadmus (2) invented. The Spaniards have a good term to express this wild and dusky knowledge Gramatica parda tawny grammar a kind of mother wit derived from that same leopard to which I have referred.
[10] We have heard of a Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.(3) It is said that Knowledge is power; and the like. Methinks there is equal need of a Society for the Diffusion of Useful Ignorance, what we will call Beautiful Knowledge, a knowledge useful in a higher sense; for what is most of our boasted so called knowledge but a conceit that we know something, which robs us of the advantage of our actual ignorance? What we call knowledge is often our positive ignorance; ignorance our negative knowledge. By long years of patient industry and reading of the newspapers, for what are the libraries of science but files of newspapers? a man accumulates a myriad facts, lays them up in his memory, and then when in some spring of his life he saunters abroad into the great Fields of thought, he as it were goes to grass like a horse, and leaves all his harness behind in the stable. I would say to the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, sometimes Go to grass. You have eaten hay long enough. The Spring has come with its green crop. The very cows are driven to their country pastures before the end of May; though I have heard of one unnatural farmer who kept his cow in the barn and fed her on hay all the year round. So, frequently the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge treats its cattle.
[11] A mans ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful, while his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless beside being ugly. Which is the best man to deal with, he who knows nothing about a subject, and what is extremely rare, knows that he knows nothing, or he who really knows something about it, but thinks that he knows all?
[12] My desire for knowledge is intermittent; but my desire to bathe my head in atmospheres unknown to my feet is perennial and constant. The highest that we can attain to is not Knowledge, but Sympathy with Intelligence. I do not know that this higher knowledge amounts to anything more definite than a novel and grand surprise on a sudden revelation of the insufficiency of all that we called Knowledge before a discovery that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our philosophy. It is the lighting up of the mist by the sun. Man cannot know in any higher sense than this, any more than he can look serenely and with impunity in the face of the sun: [original text in Greek] "You will not perceive that as perceiving a particular thing," say the Chaldean Oracles.(4)
[13] There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we may obey. We may study the laws of matter at and for our convenience, but a sucessful life knows no law. It is an unfortunate discovery certainly, that of a law which binds us where we did not know before that we were bound. Live free, Child of the Mist and with respect to knowledge we are all children of the mist. The man who takes the liberty to live is superior to all the laws both of heaven and earth, by virtue of his relation to the Law-maker. "That is active duty," says the Vishnu Purana,(5) "which is not for our bondage; that is knowledge which is for our liberation; all other duty is good only unto weariness; all other knowledge, is only the cleverness of an artist."
[14] It is remarkable how few events or crises there are in our histories; how little exercised we have been in our minds; how few experiences we have had. I would fain be assured that I am growing apace and rankly, though my very growth disturb this dull equanimity, though it be with struggle through long dark muggy nights or seasons of gloom. It would be well if all our lives were a divine tragedy even, instead of this trivial comedy or farce. Christ, Dante, Bunyan,(6) and others, appear to have been exercised in their minds more than we; they were subjected to a kind of culture such as our district schools and colleges do not contemplate. Even Mahomet,(7) though Christians may scream at his name, had a good deal more to live for, aye and to die for than they have commonly.
[15] When, at rare intervals, some thought visits one, as perchance he is walking on a railroad, then indeed the cars go by without his hearing them. But soon, by some inexorable law our life goes by and the cars return.
"Gentle breeze that wanderest unseen,
And bendest the thistles round Loira of storms
Traveller of the windy glens,
Why hast thou left my ear so soon?"
[16] While almost all men feel an attraction drawing them to Society, few are attracted strongly to Nature. In their relation to Nature men appear to me for the most part, notwithstanding their arts, lower than the animals. It is not often a beautiful relation, as in the case of the animals. How little appreciation of the beauty of the landscape there is among us! We have to be told that the Greeks called the world Kosmos [original text in Greek] Beauty or Order, but we do not see clearly why they did so, and we esteem it at best only a curious philological fact.
[17] For my part, I feel, that with regard to Nature, I live a sort of border life, on the confines of a world, into which I make occasional and transient forays only, and my patriotism and allegiance to the state into whose territories I seem to retreat are those of a moss-trooper.(8) Unto a life which I call natural I would gladly follow even a will o the wisp through bogs and sloughs unimaginable, but no moon nor fire-fly has shown me the cause-way to it. Nature is a personality so vast and universal that we have never seen one of her features. The Walker in the familiar fields which stretch around my native town, sometimes finds himself in another land than is described in their owners deeds, As it were in some far away field on the confines of the actual Concord, where her jurisdiction ceases, and the idea which the word Concord suggests ceases to be suggested. These farms which I have myself surveyed, these bounds which I have set up appear dimly still as through a mist; but they have no chemistry to fix them; they fade from the surface of the glass; and the picture which the painter painted stands out dimly from beneath. The world with which we are commonly acquainted leaves no trace, and it will have no anniversary.
[18] I took a walk on Spauldings Farm the other afternoon. I saw the setting sun lighting up the opposite side of a stately pine-wood. Its golden rays straggled into the aisles of the wood as into some noble hall. I was impressed as if some ancient and altogether admirable and shining family had seated there in that part of the land called Concord, unknown to me; to whom the Sun was servant; who had not gone into society in the village; who had not been called on. I saw their park, their pleasure ground, beyond through the wood, in Spauldings cranberry meadow. The pines furnished them with gables as they grew. Their house was not obvious to vision; the trees grew through it. I do not know whether I heard the sounds of a suppressed hilarity or not. They seemed to recline on the sunbeams. They have sons and daughters. They are quite well. The farmers cart path which leads directly through their hall does not in the least put them out, as the muddy bottom of a pool is sometimes seen through the reflected skies. They never heard of Spaulding, and do not know that he is their neighbor, notwithstanding that I heard him whistle as he drove his team through the house. Nothing can equal the serenity of their lives. Their coat of arms is simply a lichen. I saw it painted on the pines and oaks. Their attics were in the tops of the trees. They are of no politics. There was no noise of labor. I did not perceive that they were weaving or spinning.(9) Yet I did detect, when the wind lulled and hearing was done away, the finest imaginable sweet musical hum, as of a distant hive in May, which perchance was the sound of their thinking. They had no idle thoughts, and no one without could see their work, for their industry was not as in knots and excrescences embayed.
[19] But I find it difficult to remember them. They fade irrevocably out of my mind even now that I speak and endeavor to recall them, and recollect myself. It is only after a long and serious effort to recollect my best thoughts that I become again aware of their cohabitancy. If it were not for such families as this I think I should move out of Concord.
[20] We are accustomed to say in New England that few and fewer pigeons visit us every year. Our forests furnish no mast for them. So, it would seem, few and fewer thoughts visit each growing man from year to year, for the grove in our minds is laid waste, sold to feed unnecessary fires of ambition, or sent to mill, and there is scarcely a twig left for them to perch on. They no longer build nor breed with us. In some more genial season, perchance, a faint shadow flits across the landscape of the mind, cast by the wings of some thought in its vernal or autumnal migration, but looking up, we are unable to detect the substance of the thought itself. Our winged thoughts are turned to poultry. They no longer soar, and they attain only to a Shanghai and Cochin China(10) grandeur. Those gra-a-ate thoughts those gra-a-ate men you hear of.
[21] We hug the earth how rarely we mount! Methinks we might elevate ourselves a little more. We might climb a tree at least. I found my account in climbing a tree once. It was a tall white pine on the top of a hill, and though I got well pitched I was well payed for it, for I discovered new mountains in the horizon which I had never seen before, so much more of the earth and the heavens. I might have walked about the foot of the tree for three score years and ten, and yet I certainly should never have seen them. But, above all, I discovered around me, it was near the end of June, on the ends of the topmost branches only, a few minute and delicate red cone-like blossoms, the fertile flower of the white pine looking heavenward. I carried straightway to the village the topmost spire, and showed it to stranger jurymen who walked the streets, for it was court week and to farmers and lumber dealers, and wood-choppers and hunters, and not one had ever seen the like before, but they wondered as at a star dropped down! Tell of ancient architects finishing their works on the tops of columns as perfectly as on the lower and more visible parts! Nature has from the first expanded the minute blossoms of the forest only toward the heavens, above mens heads and unobserved by them. We see only the flowers that are under our feet in the meadows. The pines have developed their delicate blossoms on the highest twigs of the wood every summer for ages, as well over the heads of Natures red children, as of her white ones. Yet scarcely a farmer or hunter in the land has ever seen them.
[22] Above all, we cannot afford not to live in the present. He is blessed over all mortals who loses no moment of the passing life in remembering the past. Unless our philosophy hears the cock crow in every barn-yard within our horizon, it is belated. That sound commonly reminds us that we are growing rusty and antique in our employments and habits of thought. His philosophy comes down to a more recent time than ours. There is something suggested by it not in Plato (11) nor the New Testament. It is a newer testament the Gospel according to this moment. He has not fallen astern; he has got up early, and kept up early, and to be where he is, is to be in season, in the foremost rank of time. It is an expression of the health and soundness of Nature, a brag for all the world healthiness as of a spring burst forth a new fountain of the Muses,(12) to celebrate this last instant of time. Where he lives no fugitive slave laws are passed. Who has not betrayed his master many times since last he heard that note?
[23] The merit of this birds strain is in its freedom from all plaintiveness. The singer can easily move us to tears or to laughter, but where is he who can excite in us a pure morning joy? When, in doleful dumps, breaking the awful stillness of our wooden side-walk on a Sunday or perchance a watcher in the house of mourning I hear a cockerel crow far or near, I think to myself there is one of us well at any rate, and with a sudden gush return to my senses.
[24] We had a remarkable sunset one day last November. I was walking in a meadow the source of a small brook, when the sun at last, just before setting, after a cold grey day, reached a clear stratum in the horizon, and the softest brightest morning sun-light fell on the dry grass and on the stems of the trees in the opposite horizon, and on the leaves of the shrub-oaks on the hill-side, while our shadows stretched long over the meadow eastward, as if we were the only motes in its beams. It was such a light as we could not have imagined a moment before, and the air also was so warm and serene that nothing was wanting to make a paradise of that meadow. When we reflected that this was not a solitary phenomenon, never to happen again, but that it would happen forever and ever an infinite number of evenings, and cheer and reassure the latest child that walked there, it was more glorious still.
[25] The sun sets on some retired meadow, where no house is visible, with all the glory and splendor that it lavishes on cities, and perchance, as it has never set before, where there is but a solitary marsh hawk to have his wings guilded by it, or only a musquash looks out from his cabin, and there is some little black-veined brook in the midst of the marsh, just beginning to meander, winding slowly round a decaying stump. We walked in so pure and bright a light, gilding the withered grass and leaves, so softly and serenely bright I thought I had never bathed in such a golden flood, without a ripple or a murmur to it. The west side of every wood and rising ground gleamed like the boundary of elysium,(13) and the sun on our backs seemed like a gentle herdsman, driving us home at evening.
[26] So we saunter toward the Holy Land; till one day the sun shall shine more brightly than ever he has done, shall perchance shine into our minds and hearts, and light up our whole lives with a great awakening light, so warm and serene and golden as on a bank-side in Autumn.

Anne Hathaway is a workaholic. The actress went straight from a catwoman suit in The Dark Knight Rises to shaving her head for Les Miserables, and is now looking to star in a romantic comedy penned by Mindy Kaling, another workaholic. Wes Anderson supposedly added more actors to the cast of The Grand Budapest Hotel (but we're not believing anything until we hear it from him). And we've also got an awesome new poster for Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand. All that and a lot more below–check it out!
- Anne Hathaway Joins Rom-Com: Mindy Kaling co-wrote a romantic comedy (because that's what she does) with Office pal Brent Forrester titled The Low Self-Esteem of Lizzie Gillespie. THR reports that Anne Hathaway will star as a woman who's spent her life pursuing losers until one day she starts getting pursued by the hottest guy ever. No word on who the 'hottest guy ever' will be, but we suspect it'll someone who looks like Taylor Lautner because he's what comes up when you Google 'hottest guy ever.'

- Grand Budapest Hotel Adds Ralph Fiennes And Jason Schwartzman: Figuring out who's going to be in Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel has become somewhat of a nightmare. With that said, it's being reported that Ralph Fiennes and Jason Schwartzman have both joined the cast. Schwartzman told Movies.com that he's going to be in the movie and added, "I'm excited about it. I'm very excited about it. It's a beautiful movie." Variety broke the news on Fiennes, but we're kind of skeptic about him actually coming out in the movie. It's all a big mystery! Why?! Source: Film School Rejects

(HealthDay News) -- It's natural for a broken limb to swell just after the injury. If the limb is in a cast, this can make the cast feel snug near the injury, causing discomfort and possible pain.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons offers these suggestions to help ease swelling beneath a cast:
- Rest the limb on a pillow, especially within the first 72 hours, so it is raised higher than your heart. This will encourage fluids to drain from the injury.
- Gently and frequently move your fingers or toes on the injured limb. This will help prevent stiffness.
- Place a soft ice pack around the cast.

President Barack Obama has made it known throughout his tenure as the leader of the free world that he loves sports, especially basketball.
So when an underdog rises to win on the biggest stage in its sport, he gives credit where it's due. That's exactly what Obama did when the No. 11 Dayton Flyers advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament by defeating No. 3 Syracuse 55-53, per The White House's Twitter account:
Congrats to the @DaytonFlyers on a huge upset win! Devin Oliver, I may need to take you up on that pick-up game one of these days. -bo— The White House (@WhiteHouse) March 23, 2014
The last part of the tweet is a response to the team's star player, Devin Oliver, who met the president back in 2010 at Kalamazoo Central's commencement ceremony. At the time, Oliver was a student at Kalamazoo Central and challenged Obama to a game of one-on-one.
Oliver spoke about that and the excitement for the Flyers, via David Drew of MLive.com:
I'm definitely going to tweet him back and see what's going on. Hopefully, I can try to get a game with him. [...]
It just adds more to it, man. It's been an unbelievable ride and we're still going, so I'm really excited.
Obama didn't pick Dayton to win in the first round in his NCAA bracket. Darren Rovell of ESPN.com noted Obama's choice and his results through the early stages of the second round:
Barack Obama goes 14-2 in his bracket on Day 1 (only missed Dayton & Texas). Better than more than 98% of ESPN brackets— darren rovell (@darrenrovell) March 21, 2014
As for the pick-up game, Oliver might be paying a visit to the White House after his career is done with the Flyers. The senior still has aspirations of making the Final Four, but a one-on-one game with the POTUS might be something to look forward to for the 6'7", 225-pound forward.
With Dayton still in the running for the national championship and needing four more victories to claim the title, more congratulations might be in order from Obama if the team can continue its streak.

Pat Metheny: One Quiet Night
A marketing ploy aimed at encouraging the Japanese to "buy local" in the face of cheaper international vendors, included bonus tracks are not always all that good or, even if they are, particularly relevant. The acoustic guitar solo, "Epilogue," on the Japanese edition of Pat Metheny Group's Speaking of Now (Warner Bros., 2002) may be lovely, with a title that suggests actual intention, but it possesses little in common with the rest of this eclectic album. The expansion of The Way Up (Nonesuch, 2005), on the other hand, may be of questionable value, but it is, at least, integrated with the piece and not simply an added-on afterthought.
Here, the nearly seven-minute closer, "In All We See," feels completely in context with the gentle ambience of the rest of One Quiet Night. Feeling like a personal concert direct from Metheny's living room, these 12 (well, now 13) songsspontaneous inventions, composed original songs and selected coverswere all recorded on one guitar, with one microphone. Metheny has never made an album that explores one mood so completely, and it's to his creditmuch as Norwegian pianist Tord Gustavsen successfully spends considerable time mining a very narrow fieldthat One Quiet Night is an album of evocative beauty, where overtly virtuosic tendencies are replaced by a lyrical examination of space and nuance.
Using a then-new baritone guitar with a broader range than conventional acoustics, and a single, altered tuning, Metheny turns an old pop tune, "Ferry Cross the Mersey," into a subtle ballad, while Keith Jarrett's "My Song" becomes more elemental. Even when Metheny lifts the tempo and changes from delicate finger-picking to more propulsive strumming on the Midwestern-tinged "Over on 4th Street," the compelling quietude of the album's title remains.
The closest reference point in Metheny's discography is his 1979 solo album, New Chautauqua (ECM). But with the passing of years and his rapid transcendence from a guitarist of great promise to one of the most influential of the past quarter century, One Quiet Night is a more singular and focused disc, and Metheny's most intimately personal album to date.
Track Listing: One Quiet Night; Song for the Boys; Don't Know Why; Another Chance; Time Goes On; My Song; Peace Memory; Ferry Cross the Mersey; Over on 4th Street; I Will Find the Way; North to South, East to West; Last Train Home; In All We See (bonus track).
Personnel: Pat Metheny: baritone guitar.

She moaned and her breasts heaved as he thrust his throbbing member into her hot, wet channel. When his sword filled her to the hilt, she cried out. Never had she imagined his manhood would so completely fill her. His body hit her womanly bundle of nerves over and over until she finally came apart inside, a white hot explosion that stole her breath and her heart....
What makes a fictional sex scene good? Or bad? Or boring? Or off-putting? Or humorous (intentionally or not!)? The answer is, of course, that what might be effective and compelling in one story might not work at all in another. Different genres make different demands and set different expectations, and how the author has sold the developing relationship determines a lot about what will be believable and effective. So, the very unhelpful answer is: we know a good sex scene when we read it. And what's "good" might vary from reader to reader.
But, certainly there must be some elements that help push a sex scene closer to the "good" end of the spectrum. For me, these elements include:
1) Necessary. A sex scene that is included because it is somehow fundamental to A) plot development, including progression of the romantic relationship, or B) character development. Sex scenes for sex scenes' sake can not only feel gratuitous but can also get tiresome. Now, I like a good sex scene as much as the next reader (and maybe even more!), but too many of them have the potential to take the thrill out of a few well-placed, steamy ones.
2) Variety. Missionary sex might be the most common position, but most readers are probably willing to suspend reality long enough for the hero and heroine to try a different position in each sex scene. At the least, there should be something substantially new tried or achieved during or as a result of a sex scene.
3) Limit/vary use of euphemisms. 'Penis' and 'vagina' are probably too clinical for most of us to be used frequently in a good sex scene, but the phrase "throbbing member" probably makes us giggle or roll our eyes on sight. If the book is erotica or has in another way been primed for explicit and intense sex scenes, then more explicit and hard-core word choices probably not only make sense, but work to heighten the eroticism of the scene. But a lot of romance falls somewhere in the middle of heaving bosoms and, well, various four-letter c-words... ;) The key then is to find the language that fits the story, fits the characters, and that isn't repeated to death (I once read a draft of a story that used "hot sheath" every time it referenced anything about the women's nether regions...).
4) Heat and heart. This one might not apply to every scene an author might want to write, and certainly I can perceive an enticing story where the earlier encounters might be all heat and no heart, making the introduction of more emotional connections between the characters even more intense later. But, for me, the most intense scenes are ones that involve both the emotional and the physical connections. And seeing the hero reveal or admit or give into his emotional needs is, gah, always a turn on.
5) Talking. And not necessarily dirty, although, again, big fan of the concept! Talking can heighten both the emotional and the physical connection and intensity. But, like with use of euphemisms, it takes some finesse. Most of us, and most of the characters we connect with, don't talk like porn stars. And, if our characters are otherwise mild-mannered and avoid expletives, it isn't likely they experience a massive transformation in the bedroom (unless that's part of the story). It's important to make it real, serve a purpose, add to the intensity rather than distract from it, vary the dialogue, and keep it in character.
What do you think? What makes a fictional sex scene work for you? Or not?
Thanks for reading,

The fight is not over for an Army Major sentenced to 10 years in prison.
On Friday, a military jury found former Pacific Command officer Major Seivirak Inson guilty on several charges.
Including illegally possessing classified defense documents, forgery, and failure to report foreign contacts.
Inson has maintained he made a mistake by bringing home classified documents, but says it was to do research on Cambodia not to engage in espionage or spying.
His attorney says in the coming months Inson will ask a convening authority for clemency, which essenitially has the power to overrule his sentence.
KITV spoke to his brother by phone Monday.
"He worked so hard to get to where he's at today," said Seirvirak's brother Vichet Inson by phone. "It's unfortunate what happened. He's a good man. Despite him getting convicted, I still think he's innocent."
Inson is behind bars at Fort DeRussy in Waikiki.
His attorney says they're also planning to appeal the ruling in court

David F. Martin, 76, of 2046 State Highway 131, Massena
Massena – After a five year battle with Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS), Mr. David F. Martin, 76, of 2046 State Highway 131, passed away Monday evening, December 9, 2013 at Massena Memorial Hospital, where he had been in a patient since December 5.
David was born September 14, 1937 in Lake Placid, the son of the late Robert P. and Nellie Vallance Martin and attended Massena schools. On May 26, 1955, he entered the US Army, serving with the Headquarters Battery 548th AAA Missile Battalion at Loring Air Force Base in Maine. He was honorably discharged on May 23, 1958.
After returning home from the military, he married Beatrice J. Tupper on May 16, 1959 at St. John's Episcopal Church in Massena.
David worked at Reynold's Metals as a tapper for 35 years retiring in 1997. He was a member of the United Steel Workers Union Local 450A and, at one time, very active in Little League sports. David enjoyed camping, was an avid Yankees fan, and helped his children remodel their homes. Perhaps his greatest enjoyment was the cherished times he spent with his family.
David is survived by his loving wife, Beatrice; his children, Perry and Shelly Martin of Mexico, NY, Michael and Mari Martin of Woodford, VA, Larry Martin of Massena and JoAnn Andress of Massena; several grandchildren, great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by five brothers, Leo, Patrick, Raymond, Robert, and Darius Martin; and his sister, Margaret Jenkins.
Services will be held privately at the convenience of the family.
Memorial contributions may be made in his memory to the ALS Association, 27001 Agoura Road, Suite 250, Calabasas Hills, CA 91301-5104.
Arrangements are with the Donaldson Funeral Home, Massena, where memories and condolences may be shared online at www.donaldsonfh.com.

Davos shows we are not alone in our problems
Published 24/01/2013 | 05:00
FOUR themes em-erged again and again on the first day of the World Economic Forum in Davos, and by coincidence all of them have huge relevance to Ireland. We are not alone.
The first theme, on the day David Cameron gave his long-awaited speech on the UK and Europe, was Britain's relationship with the EU.
The second was the lack of trust in banks, while the third was the seemingly intractable problem of youth unemployment almost everywhere in the world. In fourth place was the cost of healthcare and the endless demands for new and expensive treatments.
Ireland's ties with Britain are so close that it is difficult to think of a country that would be more affected by any British withdrawal from the European Union, but there was resigned disappointment in many other quarters too, judging by the off-the-record reactions from participants in Davos yesterday.
Still, almost nobody in the Swiss ski resort wanted to speak on the record as they awaited the arrival of David Cameron today and a speech in which he is expected to explain himself.
The inability of banks and other financial services companies to win back trust as the crisis abates also played on many people's minds.
A survey published by public relations company Edelman to coincide with Davos showed that trust in financial services remains low almost everywhere, though no country seems as disillusioned as Ireland.
UBS chairman Axel Weber was among the most forthright about the problem banks face when winning back society's support, and offered some advice – re-engage with customers.
"Financial services need to be reminded that it is all about service," he said. Mr Weber knows all about these problems. Since becoming chairman in May, UBS has seen a trader jailed for seven years, been found guilty of fraudulently selling interest rate swaps in Milan and paid a $1.5bn (€1.1bn) fine for manipulating the Libor rate.
This year's World Economic Forum shows all too clearly that bankers were too optimistic about their prospects for rehabilitation at last year's Davos.
That meeting saw several leading bankers declare prematurely that the battle for credibility had been won.
Several of those bankers such as Barclay's Bob Diamond have since been forced to resign and the banks they once ran are still in trouble.
The third theme with resonance in Ireland is the number of young people out of work. With youth unemployment running at 50pc in countries such as Greece and Spain and at alarmingly elevated levels elsewhere, the problem was mentioned in several discussions.
"How can we engage the young generation with clear paths to economic and social success?" asked Coca Cola chief executive Muhtar Kent.
His answer was similar to those given by other speakers – education. "The whole discussion is how we can make jobs," was how Mr Weber put it.
While education seems obvious, there were few other suggestions about what to do with those who have learned skills that are no longer relevant.
Listening to these captains of industry worrying aloud about youth unemployment, it was difficult sometimes to suppress the doubtless unworthy thought that much of their concern stems from the dangers to political and economic stability posed by tens of millions of angry and frustrated youngsters.
While it is probably unfair to be cynical about the fine words devoted to the young, it was impossible not to feel a flicker of anger at the repeated calls for a cap on healthcare spending from people who will almost certainly never have to step into a state-run hospital anywhere.
Still, the harsh reality is that they are right. The rest of the world faces the same problems that the Health Service Executive faced in Ireland this week with medicines for cystic fibrosis – how to limit spending in the face of rising demand and ever better medicines.
To that end, one of today's main discussions will focus on building sustainable health systems and the publication of a report on how health systems might look in 2040.
That, after all, is what Davos does best – identify important problems beyond the immediate and then offer solutions.

Two fishermen stranded when their inflatable raft capsized Monday afternoon off of Anchor Beach were plucked from the rocks by the fire department's rescue boat.
Dispatchers received several 911 calls shortly after 1:30 p.m., said Capt. Kyle Brotherton, the fire department spokesman. The two marine fire boats set out and found the two men on separate rock outcroppings, he said.
One of the fishermen then swam to shore and was treated for possible hypothermia, and the other was brought to shore by boat. Both men were transported to Milford Hospital's emergency department.
The water temperature was a chilly 66 degrees at the time, Brotherton said, and neither man was wearing a life jacket. The men were stranded when their raft capsized and then was pushed out of their reach by strong winds.

"Wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself."
- The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Romans (Romans 2:1)
Whatever shall we do about gay people?
From the harsh tenor of recent comments on this page, the answer seems to be to quietly gas them in their sleep.
And while this is a simply dreadful sentiment in a country ostensibly committed to individual freedom, wrapping such suggestions in biblical quotes to make our hatred a virtue strikes me as a complete rejection of the Christian ethic.
Here's a simple test for the heterosexual: Imagine for a moment what it would take for you to "choose" to have sex with someone of your own gender.
If you are as phobic as those who have written here despising all homosexuals, you will find this impossible. You can no more wake up tomorrow morning to make such a "lifestyle choice" than you can wake up tomorrow choosing to be black. (Or white if you're already of color.)
Yes, I know there are stories around about "gays" going "straight," and I know some people whose minds can't grasp more than two categories of anything see that as evidence that all gays can be straightened out if they just come to Jesus and acknowledge their "sin."
But the fact remains that some people are simply attracted to members of their own gender and not the other. There's no explaining it; there's no changing it. We either tolerate this condition or kill them all.
For myself, I choose tolerance.
If I were to choose to kill gay people, I would have to put one of my own children to death. I would not put my own child to death, so I can't stand with those of you who would.
And since I cannot advocate putting my own son to death because he is gay, I can't pretend to a double standard that puts your gay child to death but spares my own.
But those of you who are so harsh in your judgment of gays that you would rather see them dead are a gross systemic irritant to me, and the worst among you are those who condemn gays because "the Bible tells you so."
In case you haven't noticed, the Bible has words of comfort for everyone, including the despicable.
Want to commit adultery? Murder whole populations? Have sex with your own children?
Virtuous people in the Bible have done all these things. So I find no persuasion in hearing somebody advocate any action because the Bible compels it.
Life isn't that simple, and anyone who hasn't faced a crisis between what he should do and what he must do hasn't been around enough.
But life has a way of testing us.
If you believe in the death penalty, for example, you might be one of the first in line to carry signs favoring it. Right up until your own child is found guilty of a capital crime and now faces the gallows.
If you believe theft is absolutely wrong and you find yourself starving to death, you might find your own hands in someone else's pantry.
If you believe homosexuality is wrong and find yourself pinned in the wreckage of your car, will you decline assistance from a gay in a position to save your life? Will you shake his hand later? Soften your stance? Breathe a little tolerance into your vitriol?
The uproar we hear about organizations who extend benefits to the partners of their gay employees strikes me as unnecessarily harsh.
This is, after all, a business decision. If I run a business that depends for its success on the performance of gay employees, and if those employees have the choice of working for me or someone else, it is good business to treat them like I treat the heterosexual employees.
Letting good but gay employees leave just because I opposed treating them fairly might well be good for Sunday morning and disastrous for the other six days of the week.
The current round of debate on this page was triggered by a letter from someone who works for the Salvation Army and who celebrated his organization's decision to rescind its policy of extending benefits to gay employees' partners.
I never knew about this policy or its change until the letter appeared. Now that I've seen how the Salvation Army really is, I've stopped contributing to it.
The Salvation Army may not notice the difference, but I do.
And that's a shame.
The Salvation Army does good work, and this is the time of year it counts on for donations. But any organization that touts God and despises people has missed the point and the opportunity as well.
The opportunity lost is the opportunity to avoid condemnation of ourselves by simply withholding our judgments of others.
The point is to throw stones only if you are without sin.

I Love Doing This BlogMonday, March 29th, 2010
Just look at all the great photos I get to collect.
Just look at all the great photos I get to collect.
And the latest from Virgin Galactic is that their new bird is off the ground. The new private suborbital spacecraft, SpaceShiptwo, officially named VSS Enterprise, recently made it's first test flight, slung beneath the White KnightTwo carry vehicle. Those of you who follow Gomez, know how much I like this private space going venture. I only wish I could afford the price of the ticket. There are many more test flights planned before the first commercial passenger carrying space ship is ready to board. Best of luck, guys.
I've been away from things for awhile, so here is a new post to get things going again.
Spending my day off…
It's time for a good spring cleaning. Let's see how you like some of the items I am throwing out.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Was a good product! This is my 4th bottle of raw C. When I opened the seal, I found lots of black bits on the cotton and everywhere, I poured the whole bottle out and found that the performance dry absorbent pack wide opened and hence the leaked black and transparent bits all over the jar and capsules. Quality control needs to be improved!!
The C is great. I just wish GOL would be done with the needless child-proof caps which are bolted on so tight they're nearly impossible to open even for a burly man, and particularly if you have wrist pain to begin with. People with kids need to learn to store their stuff high on shelves where kids can't access them, it's not fair to punish the intelligent, kid-free and/or otherwise normal consumers. I've already contacted GOL years ago and they told me others had complained too but they don't seem bothered enough by their customers needs to change. For those who literally can't handle GOL's "bolted-on", hard-to-open caps, Megafood is the better alternative. Also Megafood puts no soy and no yeast in their products, unlike GOL & New Chapter. However Megafood does list questionable "vegetable lubricant" in many of their pills which might be code for "magnesium stearate" or goodness knows what, however that stuff is nearly impossible to avoid. I wish I could give it 5 stars because the C deserves it as it works well for colds & flu but there's too many problems with GOL products, sorry, just leaving an honest review. Madre Labs trumps all these in purity and gets 5 stars but sometimes I don't have the energy to make the vitamin water mix or the taste for it, I just need to take a quick pill.

Easy on the stomach and the result when taking is noticeable. It helped knock out a horrible pneumonia cough that even prescription meds would touch. Also give it to our 3 yr. old dog. She had a skin issue and after one capsule for a few days, it was gone. Can sprinkle on canned food and she doesn't know its there. Very effective. Never without it.
Exceptional quality

We're getting tired of discussing whether or not drug-fueled shooter Haze is a PlayStation 3 exclusive. First it's cross-platform, then it's PS3 only, and now it might be a timed-exclusive:
Ubisoft told Next Generation that the game is "exclusive on PS3 for now." Take that any way you like. We're out.
But the game itself, no matter what system it eventually ends up on, looks amazing.

As an added incentive, the company will donate $1 for every customer who signs up for the e*bill program to a nonprofit tree planting fund. For customers living in New York City, the company will donate to Trees New York, and for customers living in Westchester County, donations will be sent to Friends of Westchester Parks, Inc.

The first paragraph = my entire useless fucking existence. >>
And I can definitely picture the endless grey scenery you described.
Nice review. I might have to waste more time come back to this again asap and see if my mind has changed. I think I gave it around a 7.7 or so; perhaps with more time it could ascend the ranks on my list of 2011 stuff.
Written by Slayer666 on 07.12.2011 at 10:26Why, thank ye. Now add Alda and Arizmenda to MS, they could also use some more attention/reviewing.

When was the last time your loved your hair?
Consultation Is RequiredHow May I Help You?Book Consultation
Agave Smoothing Oil
The Agave Smoothing Oil- plant is nature's smoothing secret, present in all Agave formulas, providing the ultimate hair transformation & restoration. Derived from Mexico's Blue Agave Plant, Agave is nature's healing & hydrating cure for dry, damaged hair.
Agave's Amino Sugars lock moisture inside the hair, restoring and maintaining moisture balance. Amino Sugars form complex bonds with internal proteins to add strength, resiliency and elasticity to hair. Agave's natural oil nourishes and transforms the outer cuticular layer of the hair, making it softer, smoother and shinier.
In Salon Smoothing Treatment
Instantly & safely smoothes-out up to 100% frizz and volume, and reduces curl retention by 80%. There's NO FORMALDEHYDE or Formaldehyde derivatives, making it one of the safest salon treatments available.
With an exclusive Amino Acid Complex called Carbo-C, Agave Smoothing gently alters the hair's disulphide bonds, reforming them to make the hair sleek & smooth. Agave plant sugars help hydrate & condition.
Haircolor Same Day
Hair coloring can be done the same day, but only after an Agave Smoothing Treatment. What's more, Agave Smoothing Treatment can be used over previously chemically straightened hair such as Keratin Treatments, Thio based straighteners and Sodium Hydroxide Relaxers.
How Smooth?
Agave is in a "smoothing" category. It will soften your unwanted curl, and can provide up to 80% smoothness depending on your hair's density & coarseness.
Fine Hair?
This treatment is amazing because of the agave sugar. It is not too conditioning, and will not make your fine hair lay limp & flat.
Need Control For Curly Hair?
Just because you have curly hair, sometimes means that you simply wish your curls were a bit more manageable.
What is so nice about Agave is that it can/will soften your curl pattern without eliminating your curl.
(*If you hate your curly hair then you would benefit from getting a Bio Ionic Retex Japanese Straightening.)

By Dejan Kovacevic | Trib Total Media
WASHINGTON — Morning, Lunatics …
>> The Thursday column recommends three insider trades the Pirates should be delighted to make. And no, that doesn't mean I'm opposed to an outside trade. It's in there.
Here's some of what Garrett Jones had to say on the topic …
I am interested, as always, in your own thoughts on players who might step up down the stretch.
Here is game coverage by Rob Biertempfel, focusing on Francisco Liriano's continuing excellence.
If I might expand a bit …
I loved how the first thing out of Clint Hurdle's mouth afterward was being impressed that Liriano threw 20 of 22 first-pitch strikes. That's just outrageous and, really, it's a far cry from the Liriano who had significant walk issues the past … well, for quite a long time, really. And the beauty of it is that Liriano hits that initial spot, then can move all over the strike zone with all of his pitches.
Remember what Tony Watson told me last week about how all of Liriano's pitches look like "they're coming at you at exactly the same speed?"
Well, imagine being the hitter with that effect and the location he's shown.
"He's just a pro," Hurdle said. "You're watching a pro out there."
Maybe it's a little more. You know, one thing I recalled reading about Liriano after his breakout 2006 season with the Twins was that his Tommy John surgery would basically cost him his best pitch, the changeup. Saw him in Fort Myers during his comeback, watched hitters take whacks all day off him, and thought how sad it was that he was trying to essentially reinvent himself.
I have to tell you, that changeup he was throwing last night was for legit swings and misses.
So I asked the man the following question …
Uh-huh, he did say that.
Anyway, here are official game highlights with a whole lot of Liriano, from MLB.com.
>> One day until the Steelers report, two until they take the field in Latrobe and — just for fun — 44 until the opener with Tennessee. Alan Robinson looks ahead. (But not that far ahead.)
>> Robert Bortuzzo is retained by the Penguins. Josh Yohe gets reaction. On deck now, apparently: The trade of Matt Niskanen.
>> Bill O'Brien mans the mic at the Big 10 meetings. Scott Brown is in Chicago.
>> Man, Rushel Shell is easier to dislike by the day. Putting off for another day an announcement that he's obviously going to West Virginia, as if that's still a big deal as opposed to a transfer?
Paul Chryst will look like a genius out of this.
>> Quality preseason honor for Pitt safety Jason Hendricks.
>> Reminder: The weekly chat has moved to Fridays. That begins this week.
>> I'll stay here for the series finale today — and the Friday column — then drive back home in plenty of time to see the Steelers' first practice.
