Hike for the Homeless to Benefit the Morningside Shelter!
Looking for an excuse to be outside this weekend enjoying Vermont's beautiful Autumn weather? This Saturday, October 4 (rain date is Sunday) you can do just that while supporting a great cause! Our friends over at the Morningside Shelter in Brattleboro are hosting the 4th annual Hike for the Homeless on Mt. Wantastiquet in Hinsdale, NH. Registration starts at 9:30 am and 12 noon.
This Hike is held to raise money that will help to house the homeless in Brattleboro and surrounding communities during the coming winter. You can either hike to the summit of Mt. Wantastiquet or take a stroll along the Connecticut River Trail at the base of the mountain. Participants are encouraged to raise funds and walk as a team or individually. The suggested minimum for individuals is $50 and teams is $250. The foliage right now is spectacular, so whatever route you choose to take, you'll be in for some outstanding views.
Morningside Shelter offers extended stay housing for up to 29 individuals and families. They also work with other organizations to provide services such as job placement, medical treatment, counseling, budget and nutrition management, education, childcare service, transition back into housing as tenants and more. The Morningside Shelter has been helping the homeless for over 30 years and is committed to serving the Brattleboro area.
As a furniture company, we believe that everyone deserves a place to stay and a bed to sleep in. We love the work that Morningside is doing and support the strides that they are making for the homeless community in the Brattleboro area.

Zum Anbieter: Schlüsselabholung sowie Check-Out funktioniert alles reibungslos und tiptop! Geht auch alles sehr schnell.
This apartment is located in a god position, but is too small and too noisy...!!!! The bed-sofa' is very unconfortable because is very large for its room and its mattress is very very very old....!!!!
Location ok, bedrooms ok bathroom is very small and worn. General: 7/10
Ligging ok, slaapkamers ok
Badkamer erg klein en versleten.
Algemeen : 7/10
The bedrooms are very nice, even if you are in one room on the street with earplugs to sleep because of the traffic noise. Kitchen and dining room is not very big, but ok. The bathroom, however, is very tiny, the toilet is not bolted from the shower head and the water just trickles. The bathroom is not recommended. The apartment is on the 3rd Stock and can only be reached via a narrow staircase and stuffy (have fun with heavy luggage). Too bad that the Check-Inn statfindet in a remote office, which requires an additional taxi ride (about $ 10). The location is good and very central (metro 5 min., Times Square about 15 minutes.)
Die Schlafzimmer sind sehr schön, auch wenn man in dem einen Zimmer zur Straße nur mit Ohrstöpsel wegen dem Strassenlärm schlafen kann. Küche und Essraum nicht sehr groß, aber in Ordnung. Das Bad allerdings ist sehr winzig, die Toilette nicht angeschraubt ist und aus dem Duschkopf tröpfelt nur das Wasser. Das Bad ist wenig empfehlenswert. Die Wohnung liegt im 3. Stock und kann nur über ein enges und stickiges Treppenhaus erreicht werden (viel Spaß mit schwerem Gepäck). Schlecht auch, dass der Check-Inn in einem externen Büro statfindet, was eine zusätzliche Taxifahrt (ca. 10 Dollar) benötigt. Die Lage ist gut und sehr zentral (U-Bahn ca. 5 min., Times Square ca. 15min.)
The location of the apartment and 'wonderful, convenient service washer and dryer on the 3rd floor and the silence of the neighboring apartments not' be overstated. Excellent space for two people, new kitchen and well equipped although we did not find the dishwasher clean. Unfortunately, the shower drain was definitely malfunctioning
La posizione dell'appartamento e' meravigliosa, comodissimo il servizio lavatrice-asciugatrice al 3 piano ed silenzio degli appartamenti confinanti non e' certo da sottovalutare. Ottimi gli spazi per due persone, cucina nuova e ben attrezzata anche se la lavastoviglie non l'abbiamo trovata pulita. Purtroppo lo scarico della doccia era decisamente mal funzionante
We (3 pers.) Were 4 nights in the apartment, which is relatively small, but still sufficient. The level of equipment, everything was there, even when we used the kitchen as well as not. The apartment was clean and nice contact. The location is very good. We would book the apartment there again.
Wir (3 Pers.) waren 4 Naechte in dem Apartment, das relativ klein ist, aber dennoch ausreichend. Von der Ausstattung her war eigentlich alles da, auch wenn wir die Kueche so gut wie nicht benutzt haben. Das Apartment war sauber und die Kontaktperson nett. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Wir wuerden das Apartment auf jeden Fall wieder buchen.
apartment was spacious and clean, unfortunately very noisy from the street side. provided sufficient material except towels: it was only the one for the shower, nothing for the hands or face PS there is no elevator and the stairs are very narrow
appartamento spazioso e pulito, purtroppo molto rumoroso dal lato strada. materiale fornito sufficiente tranne gli asciugamani: era disponibile solo quello per la doccia, niente per le mani o il viso
P.S. non c'è ascensore e le scale sono molto strette
Great apartment - but the room towards the street is REALLY noisy!! You can hear all the traffic from 9th Avenue night and day.
We were a party of 4 attending a conference and needed a three bedroom apartment which is not an easy find for our budget. The day before we were due to fly we were notified by Casanova Condos that our apartment had suffered rain damage and would not be available however they offered another apartment in the same location that actually had a second bathroom for the same price. The condo was great and had everything we needed. We walked everywhere and I was expecting a lot of traffic noise but it was surprisingly quiet. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
Housing generally satisfactory but rather bruyant.Les rooms overlook the street and a church. Accommodation very clean and comfortable
Logement globalement satisfaisant mais assez bruyant.Les chambres donnent sur la rue et une église.
Logement tres propre et confortable

Keeril Makan: TargetPosted by Jay Batzner in CD Review, tags: Alex Waterman, California E.A.R. Unit, CD Review, chamber music, Either/Or, Jay Batzner, Keeril Makan, Laurie Rubin, postminimalism, Starkland
music of Keeril Makan
performed by Either/Or, Alex Waterman, Laurie Rubin and the California E.A.R. Unit, and David Shively
Keeril Makan's music grabs hold of you right away with musical language that is simultaneously straightforward yet highly nuanced. The quartet of pieces on Target serve as excellent examples of what makes Makan's compositions approachable and mesmerizing. 2 for violin and percussion, performed by members of Either/Or (Jennifer Choi, violin and David Shively, percussion) bursts out with simple regular repeated notes played with ferocity and urgency. The blend of low violin and chimes in these opening seconds is compelling and draws me in as a listener. Percussion writing can get out of hand with performers using almost every possible instrument under the sun. Throughout 2 Makan shows tremendous restraint by leaving the percussion on metallophones and using the two players as one hybrid synthetic instrument. Timbral choices are carefully managed to keep the duo sounding as one driving hyperinstrument, whether the music is bombastic or restrained. The closing scratch tones and super-ball driven tam tam textures are creepy and luscious. Makan makes the sound organic and necessary where other composers would sprinkle them in a piece for sheer effect. Either/Or's timbral virtuosity is particularly stunning and they bring a perfect melding of energies to this exciting performance.
The very next track on the disc, Zones d'accord for solo cello and recorded by Alex Waterman, showcases Makan's ability to do a lot with a little. Long single tones are given amazing life by carefully controlled bow placement making the cello sound like a variety of bowed percussion instruments, a trautonium, a balloon being rubbed, and any other sounds you could think of on the "brittle glass to rich full cello tone" spectrum. The virtuosity of Waterman's right hand is truly stunning. While few of the sounds found in these nine minutes seem traditionally associated with the cello, Waterman (who is also a member of Either/Or) really connects with and draws out Makan's ecstatic emotional arc throughout the performance.
Target, the title track of the disc, is song cycle performed here by Laurie Rubin (mezzo-soprano) and the California E.A.R. Unit. The text for the set is pieced together from Jena Osman's poetry as well as propaganda leaflets which were dropped over Afghanistan after 9/11. Makan's deft hand with timbre and breeding hyperinstruments from seeming simple combinations is once again all over the piece. Far more than accompanied voice, Rubin is simultaneously featured yet absorbed into a singular musical fabric. The images are disturbing and harrowing and the music dives straight towards a strong emotional connection with the listener.
Last and certainly not least (especially since it is the longest work on the CD) is the solo percussion piece Resonance Alloy performed by David Shively. The music again uses only metal percussion sounds and the motivation of the narrative is more through abstract timbral changes than motivic or melodic material. All of the spectralmorphological moves done in the earlier pieces are concentrated and inflated over the course of 30 minutes. Makan seems to channel Alvin Lucier and Eliane Radigue with his slow unfolding of waves of sound within a wholly obsessive framework. Resonance Alley is very much like hearing a single cymbal roll in excruciatingly slow aural motion. Yet again, Makan makes what should be simple and mundane captivating and engrossing.

The American Veterinary Medical Association has declared this week Poison Prevention Week, and it's important that pet owners understand the dangers that may reside in their own homes when it comes to poisoning.
Many substances that are harmless to humans may be harmful to dogs. Xylitol is a common sugar substitute found in sugarless gum and other candies. Although not poisonous to humans, Xylitol can be extremely poisonous to dogs. This substance, also found in some sugar-free puddings, baked goods, toothpaste, mouthwash and chewable vitamins, is capable of causing low blood sugar, liver failure, seizures and even death. Dog owners must be aware and keep these products out of their dogs reach.
In addition, other common foods which may be harmful to pets, include chocolate, raisins, grapes, onions, garlic, coffee, cocoa, macadamia nuts, and avocados. Chocolate poisoning and grape and raisin poisoning can cause severe gastrointestinal and other issues in dogs. Many human foods may be prepared with these ingredients which is why it is important that dogs and cats eat pet food. If you want to feed your dog a snack of fruits or vegetables make sure to ask your veterinarian for advice before you feed.
Unfortunately the ASPCA handles more than 150,000 cases of pets being accidentally poisoned every year. If you see your pet ingest something toxic or suspect they have been exposed to a toxin, call your veterinarian or the Pet Poison Helpline (800-213-6680) immediately. Time is of the essence when dealing with toxin exposure in dogs and cats. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a veterinarian to do so, as this can cause further issues.
The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to "pet proof" your home. Keep purses and backpacks which may contain gums or candies out of reach of dogs. Keep all chocolate and cocoa products on high shelves in closed cupboards. Do not leave fruits or nuts out on the countertops where an inquisitive pet could reach them. Keep all toothpaste, mouthwash and prescription medication in high, closed cabinets to avoid accidental exposure.

Rural Hospitals In Danger Of Closing
ALBANY- Many of New York's rural hospitals are in danger of closing unless policy changes are made to strengthen them, according to state Sen. Catharine Young, R-C-I-Olean, who recently led a roundtable discussion with experts from across upstate to discuss solutions.
The session was a joint endeavor between Young, chair of the Commission on Rural Resources, and Sen. Kemp Hannon, R-C-I-Garden City, chair of the Senate Health Committee.
"Access to quality care through our rural hospitals is essential, yet rural hospitals are faced with financial concerns, and must confront a unique set of challenges. Workforce recruitment and retention difficulties have resulted in growing personnel shortages and a current shortfall of over 300 physicians in rural New York. A high volume of uninsured and elderly patients have left rural hospitals strapped for financial resources, and both geographic isolation and weather conditions prevent patients from accessing care," Young said. "Rural hospitals play an invaluable role in our state's most underserved areas. Often, they are the largest employer in their geographic regions and they represent the only point of access to care for many New Yorkers," said Senator Young. "The ties between these healthcare providers and the communities they serve are significant as a community's viability is directly linked to healthcare access and outcomes, economic development, and employment."
In light of significant changes being made to healthcare on both the federal and state levels, New York hospitals are being asked to examine the ways they deliver healthcare and are expected to adapt to an ever-changing environment. For the state's rural providers, this means examining flexible models of healthcare delivery, collaboration with other institutions and the use of innovative healthcare technology – including telehealth and telemedicine, according to Young.
"The Rural Resources Commission has worked extensively to bring telehealth and telemedicine to our communities as the technology represents an opportunity for the most rural areas of the state to capitalize on cutting edge developments. As healthcare continues to evolve, we must evolve with it," she said.
Healthcare professionals at the roundtable spoke about these important initiatives, as well as other strategies to both reduce costs and improve outcomes in rural communities. CEOs from a number of healthcare facilities were present to share personal experiences and offer suggestions from their time in rural hospitals.
"We are grateful to the Commission and Senate Health Committee for taking the lead on seeking innovative solutions to stabilizing and protecting our fragile healthcare ecosystems across New York state. The significant changes resulting from health reform are going to require a transition strategy that is collaborative, adaptive, graduated, non-destructive, and, one that will successfully link today's payment and care delivery structures to the health systems of the future. The Roundtable was a great start to what we expect will be an ongoing dialogue around key issues that were identified," said Ann Morse Abdella, executive director of the Chautauqua County Health Network and a participant in the roundtable.
Young said the discussion was one of many to come.
"These discussions offered the opportunity to raise awareness for the distinct issues plaguing rural hospitals, opening a dialogue which we hope to continue to expand upon in the future."

George Bernard Shaw said, "My way of joking is to tell the truth. It's the funniest joke in the world."
A Republican snowbird amigo wrote to me yesterday about the Key West homeless man jailed for rape after having sex with a dead drunk homeless woman:
If you substitute Harry Reid for Mitch McConnell, I couldn't agree more.
I read some online, seems the sticking point was the Republicans insisting on dragging Social Security into the discussion. That was a born loser from before the idea even hatched, as far as anyone depending on Social Security benefits was concerned. Your hero, G.W. Bush, cut taxes while launching and waging a war based on false information. Nobody with a mouse brain would cut taxes while starting a war based on splendid information. Then, your hero started another war. I don't see a move to slash military expenditures, and I lay that on the President and the Demos as much as on the Republicans. I dunno, maybe the best way to deal with this is to nuke Washington D.C. right now, while all the players are there. On the other hand, I told Lee Rhoe the other night that I sort of hope they don't reach a deal, that they take USA over the cliff, I sort of want to see what that looks like.
Barack Obama has expressed willingness to use a different index for all government calculations, including social security increases, tax tables, and all sorts of benefits. While this would cost me a little, probably less than one percent, I think it is necessary as a down payment on getting benefits under control.
Of course, the U.S. War Machine, Inc. gets to keep printing money and making wars unfettered, without a tax increase, while Social Security is cut. The Democrats told Obama they would not go along with a Social Security cut, not because they were worried about rich Republicans who can travel overseas a couple of times a year, and have two homes, one in the Florida Keys, but because they were worried about people who barely make ends meet even with their Social Security benefits. People who live in trailers, in homes they paid for and are worried about losing if they run out of money, and so forth. G.W. Bush and all whomever backed those two wars brought this to a head, although it was headed there anyway, eventually. Obama could have slowed it down if he had stopped both wars when he took office, but he did not do that. The al Qaeda joke is no joke. It's for real. America killed itself. These are the death throes. Better bring the troops home pretty soon, I imagine, to stop Americans from killing Americans.
Come on, Sloan, we have to start somewhere and reducing my social security, probably starting in 2014, by one percent is not a bid deal. By the way, I am getting a lot less return on my money than the poorest people. We have to start reducing the national debt, or at a minimum, the rate of increase. I'm not in the one percent or anywhere close to that, so please don't use the class warfare argument to me.
Poor people get no return on their money, Jerry. They don't have any money to invest. Cutting Social Security is class warfare against people who rely on it to get by. Cut Social Security on people who don't need it to get by, if you must cut it. But for God's sake, don't cut military spending and wars.
Screwing the poor is okay, cutting US War Machine, Inc. is not. One nation, under God.
After I posted all the but the very last two paragraphs above before dawn today, I took a nap and Jerry's face came to me in a dream just before I woke up. I added the last two sentences above, then I received this from Jerry.

Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast
- 1 whole bone-in turkey breast, 6 1/2 to 7 pounds
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons good olive oil
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup dry white wine
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place the turkey breast, skin side up, on a rack in a roasting pan.
In a small bowl, combine the garlic, mustard, herbs, salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice to make a paste. Loosen the skin from the meat gently with your fingers and smear half of the paste directly on the meat. Spread the remaining paste evenly on the skin. Pour the wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Roast the turkey for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F when inserted into the thickest and meatiest areas of the breast. (I test in several places.) If the skin is over-browning, cover the breast loosely with aluminum foil. When the turkey is done, cover with foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve with the pan juices spooned over the turkey.

But what colour is October? Is this my cue to break out some hackneyed prose? October is the colour of festivals, my love, I could answer, fighting hard to keep a straight face. It is the orange of the marigold and the white of the jasmine. It is the red of the flame that lights the diyas, the red of the Pujo pandal next door and the red of the gerbera that will soon float in the brass urli that I will pull out for Diwali. It is the colour of good over evil, son and of unity in diversity. I could say all this and it would sound most evocative, wah wah but it would mean nothing.
So what is the colour of October? I could dive into memories I suppose and call to mind the Octobers gone by and try very hard to remember what colour they were. Misty white, with that famous nip in the air heralding the arrival of winters in right earnest? All the colours of the rainbow drizzled onto razais that were being brought out to see the sun before they could be pressed into service? Oranges and peanuts, perhaps. Or the murky brown of tea, endless cups of it.
I could delve into synesthetics too, substituting one sense for another and ask myself how Octobers smell. Wood-smoky, isn't it, brown and autumnal.
What colour is October, he asks again. I flip the calendar to the next month. He looks at it, understands and smiles. October is purple, he says.
Now you know.

The Lowland Jig - an introduction

Tunes in compound times are far less common in lowland sources than those in simples time - for instance, of the 48 tunes in Daviid Young's Collection of Coutnry Dances from 1740, 9 are in 6/8 and 4 in 9/8; the other 36 are in 'cut-time'. Nevertheless, amongst these and those from other sources there seems to be a variety of 'dirds' and in some cases more than one of these dirds can be applied to the same tune.
I hope to outline what these differences might be in the tunes I'm explroing here. Of the 82 tunes I transcribed from the Balcvarres Lute Manuscript 39 were in triple time, most of which we would today transcribe in 3/4. These include a number of tunes with 'Rant' in the title. Tunes of this type have more or less disappeared from the Scottish repertoire, but they clearly once played an important part; they are perhaps 'scottishiations' of minuets, which were hugely popular in the first half of the18th century. In interpreting these tunes it is worth remembering Edward Topham's description of dancing in Edinburgh in the 1760's, where he talks of the 'gallpoing minuet' - a valuable clue to how we might approach some of these tunes, which play more like French Mazurkas than minuets.
Other tunes from the early sources, such as those in Wm Dixon's manuscript [10 in 6/4, 9 in 9/4 out of 40], seem to want to play more like French Bourees more than anything else [some sources contain titles such as 'bore' which are presumably bourees]. It is often the case with these tunes, as with all others, that decisions about tempo will reveal these various choices of dird. I should therefore made some comments about the choice of tempo in the post 'How fast does it go?..

Letters to the editor — Dec. 29
December 28, 2011
Agencies performing admirably
Born and raised in Clovis, I have never witnessed what has gone down this year.
Local law enforcement has spent more time literally in the field than the farmers due to the increase in theft of copper and other materials.
I also have never seen such activity in grass fires as this year. I have a scanner that I use for weather and local information for my area, and to listen to the fire department do its job is something that Hollywood has been unable to protray.
Especially when they get a call for a structure fire. The precision and respect they show for each other is nothing short of fantastic. One person says he is in charge and gives instructions and the responsible unit repeats it so there won't be any mixups and they follow instructions and the job gets done. Hats off to our local fire department.
I would be proud to have worked for either one of these departments, but I'm gonna let the trained ones handle it. There is so much professionalism and respect between both law enforcement and the fire department, it is comforting to know these people work in our community and put their lives ahead of ours for our safety.
Keep up the good work.
Joe Wilson

PANORAMA, British Columbia – Now, Alana Nichols can turn her focus to the London 2012 Paralympic Games.
Nichols (Farmington, N.M.), a dual-sport athlete who will compete on the U.S. Paralympic Women's Wheelchair Basketball team in London, wrapped up her alpine skiing season with three gold medals and one silver, as well as a Globe trophy at the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Alpine World Cup Finals in Panorama, British Columbia last week.
The final day of racing was on Friday with the Slalom, and Nichols nabbed the gold with a commanding five-second finish in the women's sitting division. The Super Combined was the only event she did not win a gold at the World Cup Finals.

During Friday's Slalom event, along with Nichols, Danelle Umstead (Park City, Utah) took third in the women's visually impaired division, and Mark Bathum (Seattle, Wash.) took silver in the men's visually impaired division.

Go get an awesome muscadet or something similar. That will get you right our of your rut, and chances are you'll only drop a 20 spot on it.
Steely, nervy whites are always my go-to choices when I'm in a wine rut. They work every time, always reminded me that at its best, wine is energetic, alive, and exciting.

Yeah dude I love Muscadet...it always surprises me how cheap the best examples are relative to other wine regions.

I like how you give a shout out to the dudes in Arizona and Blood Into Wine. I've seen Tool around 19 times now, in addition to a massive collection of recorded media from live shows and oddly, I've never tried Maynard's wine - but I've been following it from the start. In 2011 I will no doubt try it. I'll keep you posted.

I should blog my thoughts on Blood Into Wine as well since I just saw it, though you post encapsulates it really well. I had checked out their website over a year ago and found the prices really insane, but since then they've been lowered to a more sensible level. There's definitely a fascinating case to be made for cool regions of AZ.

Well I have to say a just loved the Red... aka the Pirate Wine. The other day I was in Trader Joes and just happened to glance over at the wines and noticed the Skelleton label. I thought it would be ok but it was soooo yummy. I went back and they were all gone. Not just from our local Rancho Cucamonga store but every store I called. How do I get more? We love reds and for the money this is a great bottle of wine.

Delaware State offers a physical education program for the 21st century. We are emerging as national leaders in the innovative "tactical" approach to physical education, a teaching model that organizes instruction around broad skills and strategies rather than individual sports. Our redesigned program also covers recent trends such as movement education and adaptive PE, current methods of assessment and testing, and cultural/gender diversity in physical education.
Students enjoy close mentoring from faculty, opportunities for community involvement, and academic support (as needed) to build classroom skills in reading, writing, and math.
Professional Preparation
The Physical Education program at Delaware State meets all standards set by the National Association for Sports and Physical Education (NASPE) and National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). Upon graduation, PE majors become licensed teachers in the state of Delaware. They are eligible to teach in public, private, parochial, and charter schools; substitute teach in any school district; or work in PE-related fields such as coaching, recreation, and fitness training.
The Physical Education faculty are experts in fitness — not just physical fitness but also mental and career fitness. They help students master course material while developing the habits, discipline, and confidence to succeed as educators. Our faculty combine academic credentials with personal experience as PE instructors, coaches, and trainers. They have life lessons to share along with their subject-matter expertise.
Research and Experience
This program provides for extensive early field experience and a one-semester student teaching experience. Students spend time in real-world schools during the sophomore, junior, and senior years.
Delaware State's use of the innovative "tactical" approach has created research opportunities for our students. Some have participated in studies to test outcomes and develop assessment methods for the new model. Others have been involved in programs to introduce the tactical approach to veteran PE teachers.

Can a bad school be good for the neighborhood? asks Andy Smarick on Education Gadfly.
It's very difficult to "turnaround" a chronically low-performing school, he writes. By contrast, closing a bad school and starting from scratch "can move the quality curve to the right." That's his argument in The Urban School System of the Future.
Furthermore, some arguments for keeping bad schools open are unpersuasive, he writes.
Their "closures-are-a–civil-rights-violation" argument causes most to reply, "It's a far greater violation to force low-income African American and Latino children to remain in failing, unsafe schools."
However, it's not so easy to dismiss the argument that closing a school — even a failing, unsafe school — will destabilize the neighborhood, making things even worse, Smarick writes. It's clear that "good schools are a powerful asset for troubled neighborhoods." But "every school, even the lowest-performing, is woven into the fabric of its neighborhood—and tugging on that thread affects the entire cloth."
Even if educationally dysfunctional, the school likely has its share of caring, educated adults who serve as role models and mentors for needy children.
The school may serve as the community hub for social services or civic activities.
Maybe its athletic teams still serve as a source of community pride.
. . . Maybe the neighborhood sees that school as the last thing that is actually theirs. Other families moved away. Businesses shut down. Churches closed their doors. But their school remains.
In There Are No Children Here, Alex Kotlowitz describes how two boys try to survive in a dangerous Chicago housing project. "A government policy developed by mostly benevolent leaders hoping to improve the lives of the disadvantaged—in this case, by razing old, low-income, ostensibly decaying neighborhoods in favor of gigantic public-housing skyscrapers—did incalculable harm to those it was designed to help," writes Smarick."Those who cleared Chicago's 'slums' to make way for new high-rise public-housing towers didn't realize that they were severing intricate, generations-old social bonds."

My latest madness is giving away my novel Sukanya for free, through this blog and Facebook. Read, share, enjoy!
Friday, June 12, 2009
The real thing
My book! It's here! I screamed and immediately snatched the parcel out of his hands. Or tried to. He made me sign something, I could have signed away my soul for all the attention I was paying.
Mamma! I shouted, letting myself back inside, they are here, the author copies!
Much excitement prevailed.
I opened a copy and read bits and pieces. I wrote it, I told myself. Naah, replied myself.
In that moment, I knew that this is what I want to do, for now and for ever.
Then I went off for my haircut.
The advantage of being the author: getting to read (pose with) the book before it hits the stands.

Here is what you do:
1. Cut your board to 9" x 11" (mine is two boards glued together)
I didn't want my letters to be super dark, so after I dipped my brush in the paint, I dabbed it on a paper towel to get most of the paint off. Then, I brushed it on the burlap.

Directions to Nocenje u Sarajevu
A car can arrive in Sarajevo marked and maintained roads. There are two main approaches to the city from the east and west. Traffic in the city itself is very frequent and takes place right lane. To choose the best parking is clearly marked parking spaces for a fee. Good extensive bus network, Sarajevo is accessible from any direction. The plane from all over the world come to Sarajevo International Airport, located 10 kilometres from the city centre. From the airport there is no regular bus service. Although there are those who argue that there is bus service 'Bascarsija - Airport', it rarely can attest, and still valid belief that the only mode of transport to city centre taxi, and driving in one direction is not more than 10 euros. From taxi drivers required to switch on the meter.Railway and bus stations are located 3 kilometers from our accommodation, if you arrive by bus or train just sit on the tram No.1, buy a ticket that costs 1.60 km at the kiosk, the driver 1.80 km and get off at the fourth stop, which is called the main Post office.From station turn left to the end of the street Kulovic turn right and we are there.

Chick-fil-A /Clemson vs. LSU
Chick-fil-A /Clemson vs. LSU
ND struggled against Pitt and Florida barely escaped with a win against the UL Ragin Cajuns, winning that game with 2 seconds to go! Bama is going to have their hands full with Georgia so I'm thinking it is going to be ND vs Bulldawgs for the entire enchallada.
I can't see how Johnny Football doesn't win the Heisman.

Anti-intellectualism and fascism go together like bacon and eggs.
Speaking of some of that UF game;
Just wondering if anybody heard Gary Danielson make the same point yesterday during the Alabama mauling. Alabama was the beneficiary of a pretty much ridiculous roughing the passer call early in the game yesterday.
I will have to say that the officials apparently did a good job controlling the game in the second half. I was worried that it would get chippy given the fact that we were beating their eyeballs out. It is remarkable that there is usually very little of that in this game given the somewhat heated nature of the rivalry.
Pretty sure only Bama fans and Les Miles watched the Iron Bowl, so with no video it's going to be hard to say.

Expiration Date:?Jun 2020Expiration Date
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.
Shipping Weight:?1.18 lbs (0.54 kg)Shipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Carlson has the #1 Salmon Oil in my opinion. It is cleared of any heavy metals and other contaminants, and is manufactured in an FDA Approved facility. I have NEVER taken a Carlson product that did not deliver good results. Our family loves this product!
Is the tops in fish oil
Posted by holdenvalentine on Oct 14, 2016
I have been taking Carlson's Salmon oil for numerous years and put it next inline to Krill oil which is much more expensive and I am 86yrs young so I think that speaks volumes.
Great salmon oil!
Posted by bugajuk on May 14, 2016
Very good quality, no aftertaste, no fishy smell, no fishy blurbs. I put it to refigerator and there is no white precipitate in capsules, so salmon oil is fresh . I take it for my joints. Will see if it helps.
Poor shipping

Health and wellness as a business
HANCOCK – Some people make a business out of health, and Saturday some of those health-related businesses will be on display during an open house at the Jutila Center for Global Design and Business.
Bonnie Holland, director of the Jutila Center, which is on Michigan Street in Hancock, said the open house runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Besides the main building, there will be presentations in the center's annex building on Water Street.
This is the first time for such an open house of wellness and health-related businesses, and it was those business owners who decided to do the event.
"We have a group of companies that are involved with wellness," she said.
There are about 20 wellness-related businesses in the building, Holland said, and possibly 19 of them will be represented at the open house.
Holland said visitors may have questions about health-related issues, which the business owners may be able to answer.
"It's a good time to ask those questions," she said.
Holland said the event is not only a way for visitors to find out how to get healthy, it will also be an opportunity to find out how to stay well.
"We're looking at it from different angles," she said.
There will be demonstrations of Nordic walking, and the Zumba exercise method, Holland said. There will be Finlandia University nursing and physical therapy assistants doing various health screenings.
Visitors will have an opportunity to get information from professionals about such things as acupuncture and to get nutritional advice.
"This is a good way to ask questions," she said.
Holland said there will representatives of various food providers giving out healthy snacks throught the building.
There is no charge to take part in the open house, Holland said, but some groups or organizations may ask for a donation.

Love this scent, I have been wearing it since 1989 and it is great for anytime. I get men and women both saying how much they love it. If a man cares about how he smells and wants that confidence knowing everyone loves this scent, get this one for sure.
Written by Phil T. on November 12, 2014
I have used this fragrance for years. I really like it but more importantly my husband does too. I do get compliments from other people too. Actually, a couple of nurses have complimented me too. One even recognized the scent and asked where I got it. She could not find it. I feel lucky I found it on your sight. It is not anywhere else.
Written by Susan on February 10, 2014
I love Claiborne. It's a very clean scent & stays w/me all day long. The price of the perfume was oustanding better than any department store & I have the ease of having it delivered right to my door. I've worn it for years & still get compliments when I wear it.

The pastor of the parish in Blacksburg, Va., near the Virginia Tech campus is a native of the Detroit area, so The Michigan Catholic called him to see if he had a message for Catholics far from the tragedy. The priest, Father James Arsenault, told the paper the grace of God is stronger than any evil and said he was grateful for the messages of support he received from Detroit acquaintances. A separate story in the same edition asked Detroit priests and others to reflect on where God was in the wake of the shootings. The Tidings in Los Angeles also published a story on how local Catholic college students and administrators were reacting to the massacre.

On Sunday night, John Kerry arrived in London to begin his first overseas visit as Secretary of State, and we could not have been more pleased to welcome him to the United Kingdom for the inaugural leg of his journey. As he said in a press conference, it is no accident "the remarkable partner that is the United Kingdom" was selected as his first stop. This enthusiasm was shared by UK Foreign Secretary William Hague, who tweeted a warm greeting to Secretary Kerry in honor of the "special" bilateral relationship.
The Secretary began the day by participating in a working breakfast with British Prime Minister David Cameron at Number 10 Downing Street, where the pair discussed U.S.-EU trade negotiations. Earlier this month, President Obama made it clear the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a top priority for the United States. Europe is already America's largest trading partner, and this agreement will create more jobs and spur additional investment.
Secretary Kerry followed breakfast with a tour of the Houses of Parliament, guided by House of Commons Speaker John Bercow and British Foreign Secretary William Hague. Secretary Kerry then met with senior British government officials, including Hague and MI-6 Chief John Sawers. Kerry and Hague discussed a number of areas of mutual interest, including Syria, Iran, Afghanistan, the Middle East peace process, and support for fragile democracies across the world. You can watch Secretary Kerry's joint press availability with Hague on YouTube, and view photographs of their visit on our Flickr account.
After concluding his meetings with senior British government officials, and before departing for Berlin, Secretary Kerry stopped by the U.S. Embassy to meet and greet embassy officials and their families and express his appreciation for their hard work and preparation for his visit.
Secretary continues his travel to Germany, France, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar through March 6. You can follow his trip on www.state.gov.
Irv in California writes:
Why is the first stop always London? I thought we had declared our independence. Instead, over the past 20 years, we have allowed London to manipulate us into two senseless wars against Iraq, one long one in Afghanistan, one in Libya where we installed al-Qaeda in power, a proxy war in Syria where we are attempting to do the same, the list just goes on and on. And for what?
Henry in the U.S.A. writes:
This recent commentary in India really says it all:
Dr. Tony N. in Georgia (U.S.A.) writes:
I just found this on Yahoo News, dated 2/26/13: "Secretary of State John Kerry offered a defense of freedom of speech, religion and thought in the United States on Tuesday telling German students that in America "you have a right to be stupid if you want to be." Well EXCUUSE ME, Mr. Secretary of State, who is supposed to represent America in the best possible way on the international scene. Oh, I'm sorry; you meant to portray that Americans had the right to say what they wanted. I guess that I am too "stupid" to understand the First Amendment of the Constitution, cherished by our founding fathers, that you swore to uphold. Or was this a backhanded slap at the Educational system in the US, attempting to function with little or no support? Or did you mean to allude (sorry about the big word, I guess I'm not as "stupid as you thought) that the "great unwashed" (a phrase coined by Thomas Wright in the 1800s)(oops ! my lack of "stupidity" is showing again, sorry) does not have your superior comprehension of what constitutes wisdom? In the past, if one of our ambassadors had made such a statement, he/she would have been immediately recalled by the President for making "stupid" comments on the international scene. I assume being the Secretary of State grants you special dispensation (sorry, I can't help using non- "stupid" vocabulary.) You may want to take this as a strong hint to do likewise.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
"Why is it?", I gotta wonder sometimes...that folks get stuck on "stupid"?
A perfect case in point being that even the press in daily DoS briefing was wondering "in what context" Sec. Kerry was refering...and the short version interpretation courtesy of your's truly is as follows (folks are more than welcome to check the transcript...I have.)
While it is a matter of freedom of expression to dress up in a White KKK clown suit, or pose as Hitler clone to declare one's intolerance...most people in America would simply consider that to be downright STUPID in practice and thought.
But since the Constitution mandates tolerance of expression and belief, America as a democratic experiment sometimes finds itself in a bit of a catch-22 by being constitutionally tolerant of intolerance, while trying to maintain tolerance among the many, for each other.
I would have to say that as an evolving democratic experiment, we find ourselves in the post 9/11 era a decade on, having done pretty well in not over reacting to the actions of the intolerant towards us as a nation, by becoming intolerant ourselves towards a religion (Islam) that was hijacked and used by the intolerant to interpret its teachings for evil deeds upon fellow muslims and so-called infidels of other religions.
But we didn't go to war against Al Quaida because we as a nation are tolerant of intolerance, in fact and deed we are exactly the oposite of that and set about most resolutely to exact a high price on those who practiced their intolerant behavior in the form of terrorism upon the citizens of many nations in NYC and DC that day.
A decade on now we are still defining what forms "terrorism" takes, and we need not get stuck on "stupid" to do so.
Forrest Gump was right.

This is a great project to do with kids: They can help mix the dough, hold the paper templates on the dough while bigger folks cut, and cut out the cookies with cookie cutters. And since the roof is detachable, the house doubles as an Easter basket, which they can fill with cookies and Easter candy.

I love the winter-like months just before the snow really starts to fall. Blustery days of sun filled skies. It's a nice transition from early fall to snowier weather. Even though a salad may not be on everyone's dinning list, a nice salad of persimmons and Asian pears are the best picks of the season.
Enjoying this salad I guess is my way of feeling better about the holiday feasting that will begin shortly. Of course I will happily save a few calories here to have a few more pieces of dessert later. Who knows, I will probably find myself eating more than usual [as we all find ourselves doing] and eating lots of leftovers for days later. But the greatest satisfaction is family time, away from the everyday chores and enjoying food in a different way. Differently may not be the right word, but I feel we should spend more enjoyable table time with family, friends and of course, very special neighbors.
Are you still wondering what to make for the upcoming holiday? Check out www.pasplore.com. I recently posted an apple glazed game hen recipe that was used on the main page. The recipes all look and sound delicious. Whether you are sticking to family traditions or creating new ones, you are sure to find some inspiration from their mosaic recipe board. It is a neat take on a recipe collection from foodies like us.
