Breast Cancer Services for Underserved Women Receives $35K Donation
This is the fifth consecutive year that LI2DAY has supported the program for a combined total of $150,500.
"LI2Day has been a loyal and vital partner in the growth and success of our program," said Christine Hodyl, DO, Director of Breast Health Services. "Its generosity empowers South Nassau to fulfill its mission to provide top-notch, compassionate, quality care for the patients and communities it serves."
According to the American Cancer Society there are about 2.9 million breast cancer survivors in the United States, including women who are still being treated. Underserved and minority women have the highest mortality, lowest survival, and fastest-rising incidence rates for breast cancer in the U.S.
More than 400 walkers participated in the 2012 LI2DAY walk held June 9-10, raising nearly $600,000 that is donated directly back to selected Long Island hospitals and community-based grassroots organizations. The two-day, 35-mile walk began Saturday morning at Smith Point County Park at the Fire Island barrier beach in Shirley and continued along safe and scenic Suffolk County roads with continuous support from the Suffolk County Police Department, a qualified medical team, and local ambulance personnel. After completing a 20-mile walk on Day 1, participants camped overnight at Cathedral Pines County Park in Middle Island. Walkers complete a 15-mile route back to Smith Point County Park on Sunday.
The Center for Breast Health at the Gertrude & Louis Feil Cancer Center is a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary breast care program, with a full spectrum of clinical and support services, from screening and diagnosis to treatment and counseling. The center is recognized for its advanced treatment of both cancerous and benign breast problems. Early detection is the focus of South Nassau's Complete Women's Imaging, PC, which uses an array of state-of-the-
If a tumor or abnormality is detected, the center offers the most advanced treatments for breast cancer and breast health complications and uses targeted surgical techniques that aim to preserve as much of the healthy breast and surrounding areas as possible.
This includes Contura™ multi-channel and Mammosite® single channel balloon brachytherapy techniques, which utilize a balloon catheter to deliver highly localized radiation to the lumpectomy bed; breast-conserving surgery (commonly known as lumpectomy), in which only the tumor or abnormality is removed from the breast; or mastectomy, an operation in which the whole breast is removed. For invasive breast cancer, these procedures may be accompanied by a sentinel lymph node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection if needed.
Oncoplastic surgical techniques are also offered. Oncoplasty combines surgical cancer removal with plastic surgery techniques to produce a superior cosmetic end result. Recommendations for whole-body or "systemic" treatments, such as hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of two of the three therapies, may follow either surgical approach. If early-stage breast cancer is present, sentinel lymph node biopsy is used as an alternative to traditional lymph node dissection.

Long Island 2 Day Breast Cancer Walk
Since its inception the LI2DAY has raised more than $4 million from the annual 35-mile, two-day walk. LI2DAY helps fund programs that assist with medical expenses, transportation, prosthetics and wigs, physical therapy, child care and more. While researchers forge ahead to determine why breast cancer rates are so high on Long Island and to find a cure, LI2DAY will continue to raise awareness and much needed funds for the women and men in our community who are fighting breast cancer right now - emotionally, physically and financially.

Nate Robinson on Twitter, his role and 'Kazaam'
|09.23.10 at 4:32 pm ET
QUINCY — If you're one of Nate Robinson's 153,448 followers on Twitter, then you know the backup Celtics guard isn't afraid to share his thoughts.
"Nate's talking? That's a news flash," Doc Rivers quipped at the team's annual golf fundraiser to support The Shamrock Foundation.
And Twitter is one of Robinson's favorite places to chirp. He's posted 79 tweets (@nate_robinson) since Monday, including what appeared to be his own telephone number followed by "text me NOW" last night.
That behavior made you wonder if Robinson was living up to his self-proclaimed nickname, Donkey, but it turns out that was a prank on one of his friends.
"That wasn't my phone number," explained Robinson, laughing. "That's my friend's number. … I don't put up my information. I just joke around with my friends. Hopefully, none of my friends put my number up."
When he first started Twitter, Robinson actually did post his personal phone number, accidentally, while attempting to send Quentin Richardson a private message.
"All of a sudden, I was like, 'Why are all of these people calling my phone?'" he said. "It was pretty funny ' but never again."
On Twitter, pretty much no topic is off limits for Robinson. He's discussed everything from relationship advice to potential tattoos to nutrition tips.
"It takes time out of your day," he said. "When you're bored, you can go on Twitter, and by the time you're done, three or four hours go by. It's fun. You keep up with the world, I guess. I think it's one of the best creations of the last two years."
So, who does Robinson follow on Twitter? Other than his teammates, opponents and a slew of football players, his three favorites are rapper Fabolous ("He's got a lot of interesting things to say"), boxer Floyd Mayweather ("he's pretty funny") and comedian Kevin Hart ("a lot of comedians are pretty funny, because it's their job").
Nate Robinson: On basketball
When he's not tweeting, Robinson finds time to play a little basketball.
After seeing limited playing time for the Celtics following last season's trade from New York, he had at least one breakout performance in each of the final three series of Boston's playoff run, including the 12-point performance in Game 4 of the finals that led to the infamous "Shrek and Donkey" press conference.
Building off that momentum, the 5-foot-9 former University of Washington star hopes to contribute to this year's team, in any way he can.
"I love the game of basketball," he said. "That's never going to change. For me to get a training camp in with the Celtics, that's only going to help me out with knowing exactly what Doc wants from me, how to play and getting in where I fit in, which is me playing with energy. I don't try to do too much. I've just got to play my game."
Nothing is set in stone for Robinson this season, especially with the re-acquisition of Delonte West. They'll be battling for playing time behind Rajon Rondo, but Rivers believes that Robinson's participation in a Celtics training camp can only help.
"It'll be important," said Rivers. "It'll help him understand what we're running better, and it'll help us understand him a little better as well. It'll be good for both of us."
Nate Robinson: On Shaq
Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal share adjacent lockers this season, and they're getting to know each other ' perhaps a little too well.
"I've been a Shaq fan since I was a little boy, so I've been teasing him about all the movies he's been in," Robinson said. "He's awesome. His locker is right next to mine, so it's kind of cool. Every day, he comes in with these Superman pajamas. I'm kinda getting tired of those already, but he's a real fun guy. He's one of those guys who I can always tell my kids, 'I played with one of the all-time greats.'"
Oddly, Shaq (@THE_REAL_SHAQ) doesn't follow Robinson on Twitter yet. Maybe it's all those digs about Shaq's movie career, like, "Yo, my locker is right next to Kazaam" …

It is day 2 of my first hive which also happens to be a TBH. Here are pictures of the hive, the swarm before hiving, and the interior of the hive after 2 days: http://www.z2a.org/photos.bees/
Anyway, after 2 days the interior looks like a big cluster. Is that normal? Are they making combs under that huge pile of bees?

(Editor's note: In this guest essay, Laura Robinson, Chair of the Security for Business Innovation Council, outlines the security challenges in working with Big Data.)
In many ways, last year – 2012 – can be considered the year of Big Data. TIME declared "Big Data" the #2 buzzword of the year, and data scientist Nate Silver was considered by many to be the real winner of the 2012 Presidential election…forever changing how electoral campaigns are both run and won.
And, yet, despite so much early buzz, we're truly only at the dawn of Big Data. The security industry has come to collectively recognize the power of data analytics in significantly improving threat detection and many infosec teams are evolving their current security management models to incorporate Big Data techniques.
CONTEXT:How valuable Business Intelligence can be derived from analyzing Big Data
WHITE PAPER:SBIC's special report on security and Big Data
But, given the interest in Big Data not only for security, but also for marketing and other areas of business, it's also crucial that infosec teams get in on the ground floor of these Big Data projects – in order to understand the unique risks involved and develop strategies to manage them.
When organizations amalgamate and processs data at unprecedented volumes and speeds, it significantly increases the complexity of access governance, data protection and regulatory compliance. Risks include over-provisioning access, inadvertently exposing personally-identifiable information and transferring data outside of a required geographical location, to name a few.
So while 2012 will be remembered as the year that Big Data entered the public lexicon, 2013 needs to be the year in which the security industry undertakes some important Big Data-related actions.
Security vendors and companies tapping into Big Data must ramp up their knowledge of Big Data technologies; monitor data access requests; make clear what can be shared and with whom; watch carefully for over-provisioning of access; and develop data-flow mapping as a core competency of the security team.
Undoubtedly Big Data will prove to be a disruptive force for the remainder of 2013 and well beyond. As enterprises accelerate implementation, the information-security team needs to ensure that it has a seat at the table as the business moves forward.

Hi Wojtek,
I can't speak a word of Polish(sure wish I could) and there aren't any web translators for your pages. But what great pictures and tbhs you have. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
It appears your podcinacz has a flexible cutting blade on it. What do you use to build such a blade? Also, I like the handle. I bet it's easy to use when it gets sticky with honey, a feature not seen with our round, slick handles.

Hello Everybody, I'm in So Calif and found a swarm setting up shop in my compost pile in my backyard.
My property is a registered monarch way station and filled with flowers and host plants. I have re-landscaped 2 neighbors properties to be full of host plants and flowering plants for butterflies and hummingbirds. I have a waterfall/river/pond with in 20 ft of where the swarm set up. So I decided the bee's could stay but that I would need to build a hive for them since I do use my compost pile.
waiting on bee equipment/supplies then will move my new top bar hive back to the location of my compost pile and transfer them then. I'll post my thought on the transfer and see what you think as i get closer.

Out of all the bedding made, quilts may be the most diverse. Quilts are produced in all kinds of colors, patterns, sizes, styles and types. If you're looking for a quilt but don't know where to start, take a look at the popular types of quilts below to learn more about this beautiful kind of bedding.
Amish quilts: These beautiful quilts reflect the Amish way of living and feature solid colors, deep hues, geometric patterns and very little embellishment. Amish quilts contain the highest quality of construction and stitching, and, sometimes, the wonderful stitch patterns (scrolls, feathers) contrast with the simple backgrounds of their quilts.
Applique quilts: These quilts use a French needlework technique where fabric pieces are sewn onto another piece of material to create a design. Applique is used extensively in the quilting process and is not to be confused with patchwork. Patchwork pieces are joined together; applique is sewn on top of the whole piece.
Baltimore album quilts: Baltimore album quilts came from Maryland in the early 1800s. Each block in the design of these quilts is appliqued differently, often in ornate floral patterns.
Bangladeshi quilts: These quilts are made with layers of Saree cloth. Saree cloth is silk cloth used by women of India to wrap and fold around the body as a garment. The cloth is usually 40 to 60 inches wide by 6 yards long. These quilts are used as bedding or as decorative pieces.
Bargello quilts: Bargello quilts are created with offset squares in an up-and-down geometric "V" pattern. The small squares of different fabrics and the colorful designs make these quilts true works of art.
Hawaiian quilts: Hawaiian quilts are not pieced, and they usually showcase a large, symmetrical applique in the center of the quilt. Most often the background is white or another solid color.
Patchwork quilts: Patchwork quilts are constructed of many small pieces of fabric which are put together in an improvised or irregular pattern. This is a well-known quilt style, and examples of historical patchwork quilts are found in many museums.
Ralli quilts: Ralli quilts, sometimes known as rilli quilts, are traditional quilts made in India or Pakistan. There is an abundance of embroidery as well as applique on the patchwork patterns.
Star quilts: Star quilts are created with a large star shape, or several star shapes, dominating the pattern.
Wedding ring quilts: Wedding ring quilts are crafted in a design of interlocking rings. This pattern goes far back in history: in the fourth century it was used to decorate drinking cups in Rome. Wedding ring quilts are highly popular and make wonderful wedding gifts. If you're looking for a gift to please an engaged couple, you can't go wrong with a wedding quilt. Bedding always makes a significant gift for the bride and groom, and a quilt with coordinating Egyptian cotton sheets can be even better.

Flash Sales Outpaces General E-Commerce Growth
Citing Business Insider's Chart of the Day from December 14th, e-commerce sales rebounded impressively from the slump that has stubbornly persisted since the drop in 2007. Online spending surprised research analysts by jumping 15 percent from the same time last year. According to market research firm comScore, spending for the first 39 days of the November-December selling season were $24.6 billion.
As well as general e-commerce is doing, flash sales may be doing even better. Many of our flash sales customers experienced tremendous spikes in sales this holiday season, making over 100 percent gains in sales volume in some instances.
Some of that has to do with the growth of flash sales in general. Still only five or six years old in the United States, the flash sales industry has grown geometrically in that time period. One of our own clients, Gilt Groupe, has grown from a $5 million startup to a $500 million business (and growing).
The nature of flash sales may also account for the industry's success during the holidays. The flash sales industry is structured to capitalize on motivated consumers in time-sensitive buying scenarios – a consumer culture that jibes well with the impulse purchases that take place during Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the holiday season in general.
Whether we're talking about general e-commerce of flash sales, it's clear that online spending showed improvement this year, which bodes well for all us heading into 2012.
Happy Holidays.


text: Wow, i just bought some flowers from Bloomstoday.com and they advertise that there is a 50% off package, which is a big draw into buy. I figured it was just a flower discounter and they marked way up to then do 50% off. Anyhow, to get the 50% off you have to sign-up to a MONTHLY $9.99 package where they will give you a nearly worthless discount card. But that's all hidden in the fine print that looks like the rest of the site. Luckily for me, their bad website design let me to click "NO" I don't want to sign-up for this package (I think) and they charged me the full rate, which was probably more money than 1-800-FLOWERS. Then they hit me with a $15 service fee and another $5 fee for something else. So, just beware what you're getting into. Especially when you're in a hurry and don't expect to get screwed when checking out. Gimmicks are so dreadful for a company like this! They're bound to crash and burn from the bad reviews I'll bet.

Pile burning planned near Lake Billy Chinook
MADRAS, Ore. - Fuels specialists with the Prineville BLM are anticipating being able to burn 15 acres of piles at the BLM Beach next week, based on the current weather forecast.
The BLM Beach is a campground located on the south shore of the Metolius arm of Lake Billy Chinook, ½ mile east of the Three Rivers Recreation Area.
Burning is expected to take one day, with mop up and patrol continuing for several days.
This material is leftover from a thinning project designed to reduce the risk of wildfire moving from BLM-administered lands onto private lands in the Three Rivers Recreation Area.
This project was designed to meet objectives outlined in the Jefferson County Community Wildfire Protection Plan, which identifies a variety of actions that private and public land owners can take to reduce wildfire risk. The Three Rivers home area lost 18 homes in the catastrophic 2002 Eyerly Fire.
Smoke will be visible to local residents and boaters on Lake Billy Chinook. The campground is boat-in only, so no road closures are expected. Patrols and mop-up activities will occur during and following ignition, and will continue until the burn is declared out.
All controlled burns are completed in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Forestry smoke management plan. For more information, visit the Central Oregon Interagency Dispatch Center website at www.fs.fed.us/r6/centraloregon/fire

Reviews of this property
Very beautiful room with very stylish decoration. The flat is very clean and the hosts are really friendly and helpful. The house is very central, you can reach everything you want within a few minutes with the metro.
This room is really recommendable and a great place to stay.
It was a great stay in the room, thank you very much!
The decoration of the appartment is really stylish. It is very clean and neat, a nice place to be. The foto's really match reality.
What we found a bit stressing, was the fact that there are sticky notes all around the place, telling you what to do or not to do. For example: you can not sit on two chairs or leave clothes in the living room. The owners of the appartment are very friendly, but we didn't know in advance we had to share the bathroom with them and their daughter. Another thing is that the only lockable door is the bedroomdoor. As a result of that, the owners almost walk through the living room (which can't be closed off at all). It's good to realize that the appartment isn't private in total. We would have liked to have a bit more privacy. We also expected this, based on the discription on Wimdu. Breakfast wasn't included, on contrary to what the site says. The location of the appartment is great though! Really close to the Sagrada Familia and the Ramblas. Alltogether we are satisfied, though not everything was quite as we expected it.
we had a great stay! rooms are as clean and beatiful as on the pictures, very nice easy hosts - the location is perfect to discover big parts of the city by foot..
thank you :)
We had a really nice stay in Barcelona! The appartment was clean and looks exactly like the photos. Great location and I would certainly go there again!
Really nice apartment and lovely balkony.
We liked staying there a lot. It's location is safe to walk around at night and not too far from anything during the day.
Although we did not see them often, Magali and her husband made sure we had everything we needed.
You should be able to eat elsewhere, there is no fridge or kitchen to be used by guests.
We had a great stay at Magali's in Barcelona. The apartment was very clean and exactly as described and shown on the pictures. We would definitlely come back again.
We had a very good stay at Magali's place. The bedroom is nice and bright and it is nice there is a separate room as well where you can have breakfast.
I can really recommend that place. Modern and inspiring! Close to the city centre and easy to find. We had an awesome time and definitely come back.
Camera molto alternativa e pulita. Sofia ed il suo compagno sono molto disponibili e gentili. Ottima anche la posizione, a pochi passi dalla sagrada familia, casa batló e vicinissima alla fermata della metro gialla L4, che porta in spiaggia.
Alloggio piuttosto economico, consigliatissimo!
Ci ritorneró.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Well first of all... I'm a Marine meaning I am in the business of following orders. With that being said, if they say I have to fight next to a woman there is nothing I can do about it as I do not make policy I just enforce it as a leader of Marines.
My only thought on this subject is this... The Marine Corps has been effective in completing the mission for 237 years. Is implementing this policy going to aid us in completing the mission better? If not and the only reason for this is to make a small percent (about 13% of the USMC is women) feel better then they are doing this for the wrong reasons.
Any woman Marine who says it is for promotion opportunities should know better because they already know combat has a miniscule impact on promotions. So if this is for bragging rights or just to make a person "Feel" like something then all it is, is a feel good policy which it is a bad decision. This is the difference between someone making it home to their family and not a social experiment.
The last thing I am going to say about it as a combat vet of both Iraq and Afghanistan to the women who are pushing for this is... Be very careful what you wish for. There is nothing glorious about combat. Knowing somone is trying to shoot you to end your life is not a fun feeling or something that makes you more proud to be you. Our responsibility is to defend the nation and, at times, take lives... This is not to make you feel like one of the boys.

Die Opstal
Some things have remained the same since Sarah and I started school: I still get up at 6:30 when the sun comes over the mountains and into my bedroom window... now I just have to stay awake, the kids are still monsters hiding behind cute smiles, and they tend to attack us with a starvation for attention that runs much deeper than food.... Other than that we really have been having lots of fun and trying to enjoy ourselves though we've been jostled around a little bit by the time crunch that we are under...
The stress of the situation looms over us like dark clouds on the horizon... it has nothing to do with "not wanting to come home" (though who would want to leave a simple paradise to return to bills, 9-5s, bosses, stress>>) but the ever looming return is a bit stressful... there were presents to be bought, last minute sights to be seen, wine to be drank, wine to be smuggled, and hugs to be handed out!
School did start with a bit of a blitzkrieg back into the reality that I talked about earlier. Close to the first week of school, Mr. Kearns, one of the 6th grade teachers, lost his mother-in-law...So to do a favor, I stepped in and taught 6th grade for about 6 days. Now this has a lot of underlying issues that seemed to be smashed together in a violent collision of prejudice, finger pointing, and blame... but that would be a massive digression, so I digress:
I have learned many things while traveling... the first being that looking into someone's creation; at all its intricacies, beauty and imperfections is quite an honor. You can see the choices made by those who created this thing or in our case lifestyle: how they built the foundation, how they grew, how life after a while takes a toll on everything... the stresses, and strains... Africa is one of the most amazing places to observe...to watch the way people interact... the intricacies of the dialogue, the references to new and old South Africa, and which one of the speaker believes was better.
The only problem that we have as travelers is that we are always watching from the seaside; looking inward at the land to see what the new people are doing, and the scary part is that eventually when you stand on the beach too long the tide comes and washes you away. This is when you feel lost and homesick, when you are really confused as to whom are your friends and who are not. But, hopefully you get thrown back on to the beach, and you try to watch again. Each time building a stronger foundation so that eventually when the tide comes in you can weather the storm.
Lately Sarah and I have been weathering the storm. We took about 10 rounds of jabs... now we figured out how to put are guards up... actually we have started jabbing back. By no means have I discovered the keys to salvation for Africa... well maybe if some of them asked WWJD... but Sarah and I have had 4 months of exposure to areas and issues that are not very soft. With the added benefit of living and working in polar worlds many people's true colors have come out in different ways. The hidden prejudices or what seem to us to be obscure ways of thinking have taught us a lot about the people we associate with. Personally, like most sensitive subjects, we have come to the true conclusion that there are always two sides to every story... somewhere in the middle is the truth... and most of the time everyone should be carrying some of the blame.
The main arguments that we find ourselves in basically surrounds the "difference between people" and the fact that here everyone seems to think difference stems from some sort of color: be it blue or green or some of the many shades of brown that cross over all of humanity (Really light brown to very dark brown). There is a lot of finger pointing over who should be the one to blame... who's fault it is that people were not educated in the past, economically enslaved to the cast in life, or that now they have no role models, that most of their teachers are 'failing' them, and the same people who fought for the right to end oppression, are now the ones responsible for oppressing the masses, running corrupt governments, and failing to achieve everything that great people once fought for.
At the end of the day we can see who we agree with and who we don't. Sarah and I have the chance to look past the hate and maybe we do not have a better perspective (by any means... our little 4 month stint here has taught us a lot and I doubt that in years and after much studying that I would be able to form a better perspective...), but ours just seems to be a bit more objective.
So we have done what everyone has told a us not to do... we talked about government, poverty, oppression, and racism with a South African... and I came to realize that for every word exchanged I enjoyed the country more and more... It seems that amidst chaos and conflict of opinion, you can really understand people better and appreciate the life.
The end (of the digression).
So I should say most of this started after I was teaching for couple of days (I mentioned it a couple paragraphs ago... its okay, just scroll back). Sarah and I opened our eyes more to the methods of teaching here at Nederburg, and we found it odd that we did more lesson planning than the rest of the staff some time!!
Soon enough a routine settled in as I taught 6th grade and Sarah discovered a new girl that she is planning to smuggle away in her luggage. I have tried to tell her that you can't check a 7 year old but I give her credit for trying. The girls name is Britney... and like so many others, she has glued herself to Sarah's leg and has yet to let go...the effort has its perks: Britney normally gets our left overs, Sarah carries her around after school, she can count to ten in English and Afrikaans, and if we are playing on the computers and reading in the Library...Britney is playing on the computers and reading in the library from Sarah's lap!! This did become a problem when Britney didn't come home one day and her mom had to send her older sister to school to pry Britney off Sarah's leg. She has become a permanent member of our after school club!! This I must say, though, is not doing so well.
Paarl is an oven! About 4 degrees from hell, the afternoon sun normally scorches from above at around 40 degrees Celsius (102 F) which has plagued our after-school kick-ball club... the pavement is too hot for the barefoot children to even stand on and 15 min water-breaks are more than necessary; needless to say I am normally sweating my butt off running around with the kids for an hour, meanwhile this activity is perpetuating the fight against my mortal enemy: The Farmers Tan if only one could still look cool with his or her sleeves rolled up over the shoulders!!
We try to find times during the day to beat the heat... so that normally means hiding in the Library or working on the computers... but in the end the oven always wins and we all just bake away waiting for the sun to set!
So that is school and roughly what life has been like since January 16th... however I do have some stories from our personally adventures around SA
The weekend of the 18th-21st Lizelle took off work and we headed out for a good old fashioned road trip up the west coast! Now at this time our particular version of what a South African coast is like had been shaped by about a dozen or so different trips to beaches of Sun, Sand, and always a roaring breeze! So, Friday we started to pack as we waited for Lizelle and her "friend" Lourens (the wine maker) to come pick us up... I happened to be down stairs when Sarah motioned me to come up post haste! So I casually strolled up stairs thinking nothing was very wrong and I opened the door into a furry of fanatic yells with a filial of arms: this is Sarah in max freak out mode. The only thing she kept saying is WE ARE ILLEGAL
What happened here was that we needed to return to the home affairs office one month after our application was placed and before the prior visa expired... that day was Friday... the office closed at 4, the realization that we totally and completely forgot was about 5...Sarah was sure we were going to be deported.
One big bear hug later from me and some calming words from our German friends, we decided that a little white lie could help us out on Monday when the office opened again... until then we were off to the West Coast
And we took off... Fugitives on the run... your regular old Bonnie and Clyde or Billy the Kid seeing that we just came from Argentina!
We set out to Paternoster... this little Dutch fishing town tucked in the a tiny bay lost in time, where little white house and bright colored boats lined the shores... the only sounds where the ocean... the only people were fisherman who left the house at 4am to head out for the first catch! Our home base was at Lizelle's Great-Uncle, if there is a term, Francois... Imagine the man that hunted Moby Dick... Captain Ahab, the Tall, weathered man, two different color eyes, wind swept white hair and a mangy beard, thick skin tanned by scars and labor rather than the sun, a half a glass of wine next to him with the bottle in reach, and a pipe in his hand. Do you have the picture in you head... okay now imagine he has a fisherman vest on and a pair of crocs with some cargo shorts... this is the man we spent weekend with... the perfect sailor from the year 2008.
We spent the first night in Paternoster on the beach with a large group of people braai-ing and drinking wine by moon light... only this beach was a campsite turned hostel and had the only cash bar for about 13kms. It was a perfect night, the only problem was the weather... see the west coast is all the Atlantic ocean whereas the southern coast and into Cape Town relies on a bit of a warm breeze fed by the warm currents for the Indian Ocean... well No warm currents meant no warm air... meant Sarah and I wore Lizelle's jeans, hoodies, and anything else we could find to keep us warm...it was like 52... and after 102, it felt like freezing~!
The next morning we took a day trip out to Longenbaan, it was definitely not as cold during the day time but the wind was sandblasting my legs as Lorenz schooled me in a game that I think we call Bocce Ball...and they call Boulle! The wind made for a difficult day, but the scenery was perfect... I ate Oysters for the first time, and the wind turned out to be perfect for the Kite surfers all 179 of them... yes kite surfers... the guys that attach themselves to parachutes while 79km/h winds pick them up off the ground and push them across the water at close to 65 mph with a surfboard attached to their feet... somehow 179 of them all left form the same beach... only 2 people got tangled... and they headed off for a 17k race out through the bay... very cool too watch, however I came to the realization that any sport where I have to strap myself to a parachute and stand on a beach while I learn to not get carried away by the wind (and this process takes months) is way too time consuming... definitely cool... but too time consuming.
This just so happened to be the same time that the twins came home; first Arno who had been home earlier in November and then Hein who had not been home for a year... Wonder how that felt? The boys came home from London for some prospective job interviews (strongly supported by a mother who was hoping they would come back home) and for the simple fact that it was their birthday!! It was nice having the guys around... I had two lifting partners and Sarah and I had some extra company for a couple of weeks. We spent their birthday at a local German restaurant that served proper German Beers... Liter size only... so after a round we headed back home and out to the Water Gat. I have mentioned this place in past Blogs... the two stepping farmer club... techno music with waltz steps... typical farm boy place... check the 2nd blog. Anyways for all of those of you who remember, we decided to make this trip to the club a little more interesting than the last seeing that it was a birthday night and all! I took it upon myself to play the fool for everyone else's amusement. Basically under the context that we were about to enter the cultural center of homophobia for the Paarl Winelands area, I thought it was ultra fitting that I should go to the club in a Fish Nets meet gold sequence ensemble with the hope of keeping a straight face through out the night...and possibly starting an unnecessary fight for the twins birthday! Beside some awkward stares, everyone seemed to take it okay, and in fact I was not part of the Great Boora War that took place later on that evening. Some semi-pro Rugby player who tested his manliness at the bar all night long with brandy now felt he needed to demonstrate his manliness on the smallest pudgy kid in the club. It was one, two, and down as the pudgy kid punked this mammoth guy who didn't even know what happened before he hit the floor and everyone and their friend tried to get a sucker punch in. I don't think I have ever seen someone smile as much as our David did while he sat and watched Goliath get thrown out of the bar, bleeding from his head, and reminding everyone that he will kill them... "And their ma... and their pa... BANG BANG"!! It must be terrible to see an entire club full of people laughing at you while you make idol threats... Cheers big guy, I hope you felt manly when you woke up in the morning!!
This was a long day... by the time we made it home it was 3 in the morning... exactly 24hours hours since Sarah and I woke up.
Ok for those who didn't realize... I'm pulling terntino on all of you... I started with the beginning and now I'm working backwards and forwards at the same time so that by the end hopefully you will know everything we did, but you'll have to watch the movie again to get the order.
So 24 hours before the great Boora war I was preparing myself for battle, though I don't know which one was worse? A 3am alarm clock ring reaches people on different level than the 5am or 6am. When I hear an alarm at 3am I am normally sent in to shock set on by an intense feeling of one of 3 things: FIRE, ROBBERY, or DAMN IT~!!! I have to go run and any run that necessitates a 3am wake up is not a short run. So Sarah and I were off on the hour and a half drive out to Fish Hoek at 4am, in the dark of NIGHT out to the coast on about 4 hours of sleep!! I was competing in the Red Hill 36.2 Km run about (22 miles). It was a beautiful 5 am start as the sun came up over the clouds... Sarah caught some amazing pictures. She really is a trooper about the running thing: I wake her up early, drive her out to the middle of nowhere, keep her around after the race to see if I win the lucky draw, and then drive her home. She is my cheerleader and most of all my spiritual running partner- cause while I am running 22 miles, she is right there sleeping in the car for a couple hours while I am gone on a 3:09 run
The race was great... I have a bit of running coach, who goes by the name of Mr. Marathon. See what happens is that I run in the same shirt every time... (the lucky BA shirt)... well the same 1000 people that run every weekend and surprisingly enough you just get recognized... well one of the these said runners is Mr. Marathon who just so happened to be the coarse record holder for the race that we were running...he gave me some pointers and lets just say he's fast, but thanks to the tips I had a great finish.
Later that day we were watching a fight at the club... all in all perfect day!!
The Last little bit of our interesting month was what I would like to call our quick renewal of faith...
Let's start with the lapse in faith... not necessarily a religious faith, it was more the faith in the work that we were doing. The week with the 6th graders did not help create the feeling that either Sarah or I were accomplishing anything. In fact, I pretty much believe that 50 children vs. Me is not a classroom environment at all, yes that is 50 children in one classroom... most Universities have better odds than that and they are not dealing with language barrier or irresponsible and rude 11 or 12 years. I have talked about the challenges that we have teaching here in fact the problem starts with the hello... commanding the same level of respect from the children that call you "Dan" rather than Mr. Stanton... or see you as a buddy and a free day in the class room, rather than the lesson planner looking to achieve some sort of outcome! Again I fell into a rut...stressing myself out over the children, letting them get the better of me...
However, promptly after Mr. Kearn's return Sarah and I were given the opportunity to hang out with some of the exceptional kids outside of the classroom. The primary schools around here have a program called "The Prefects" which is a child that has demonstrated an ability (I'd say exceptional ability... but then there wouldn't be enough kids for the program, so just the ability) to be a role model and do well in their school work. The kids are chosen after 6th grade however overall input is given to all of the teachers.
This special little group gets to go on "life skills"/ self-esteem building 4 day retreat to help instill a lot of hope, belief, unity, and maybe by the end they see something inside themselves that the people around them never took the time to even notice.
We played camp games... team building egg races... pool relays... toss in some good old fashioned camp food and we would have thought we were back in the U.S.
The camp ended with the typical end-of-the-retreat concert filled with songs... skits and some personal embarrassment for the kids. We ended with a nice walk into town for some ice cream... something none of these kids have ever done... the pictures say thousands of words and the bonding we got to do will hopefully last a little while.
Today its movie night... we are sweltering in the heat- tomorrow we are going shark diving...
Ps. We were never deported- After a frantic review of our story, Sarah and I boldly walked into the Office of Home Affairs willing to purger ourselves in front of a customs official...the official never asked what happened... he stamped out passports and we walked out after being officially illegal for 24 hours... sorry Mrs. L (Nancy...Mom), I had to tell you story.
Chau and peace for now!!!

Displaced animals from wildfire are headache to homeowners
EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. - Wild animals displaced by the Black Forest Fire returned home Tuesday, and their return was a headache for homeowners.
The smell of burned wood still lingers in the air more than one month after the fire tore through the Black Forest. Wild animals can't find food in the charred shrubs and burned ground. They're looking for food elsewhere, and that's a headache for homeowners.
"It looks like they've torn apart the bird house and taken the nest out," said Sparky Parker.
Parker lives in Black Forest. His bird house and beehive are under attack.
"The beehive had been knocked backwards," said Parker. "In the lid, all the honey comb, there was 10 great big honey combs that had been broken off."
Parker knew who to blame for the mess - a hungry bear.
"I couldn't tell what it was because it was 6 o'clock in the morning. It wasn't quite light yet, I'm looking out my bedroom window," said Parker. "I saw the head move. I said, that's a bear.'"
Parker's property was untouched, but it's not far from the fire's path. Displaced animals are scrounging for food in his back yard.
"I've been here three years and I have never seen a bear. I've seen a lot of deer, an occasional fox, lots of birds and squirrels, never ever a bear," said Parker.
"There isn't a lot of vegetation for these animals to feed on, they are moving over to his property to find that food resource," said Sabrina Hurwitz.
Hurwitz works for Colorado's Division of Wildlife. Hurwitz said wildlife by temporarily be displaced, but the fire will help species in the long run.
The forest had a smaller variety of vegetation before the fire. New growth in the burn scar after the fire will bring more

You may think that FDA is simply an organization that reviews medical products or works to keep your food safe. But FDA's broad public health mission includes mobilizing to protect Americans when natural disasters like Hurricane Sandy strike.
We often think of major storms like Sandy in terms of the risk to life and damage to property. But at FDA we also have to focus on the effects of natural disasters on the safety of the products we regulate and that consumers and patients depend on – everything from fresh produce to canned foods to medicines and high-tech medical devices. Flooding, extreme temperatures, and power outages can create a multitude of safety problems for those products and the facilities where they are made and stored.
FDA's preparation for hurricanes begins even before the tropical season starts. Every year, we use our Geographic Information System to create and continuously update a set of maps and a list of FDA-regulated facilities, sorted by the type of product the facilities produce. This information prepares FDA offices across the country to act immediately in the event of a natural disaster by showing us the location of the affected facilities.
FDA's work during public health emergencies is coordinated through our Emergency Operations Center, which is in a constant state of readiness 24/7. The EOC, as we call it, is staffed by FDA experts on such subjects as emergency management and coordination, investigation, epidemiology, public and environmental health, the safety of food and medical products, imported products, legal issues, and cartography.
To prepare for Hurricane Sandy, we consulted with other public health and preparedness agencies, received regular updates from the National Hurricane Center, and conferred with sister agencies during telephone conferences conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). And to help the public prepare, we posted information on our website about ensuring the safety of food and medical supplies.
As Sandy moved up the East Coast, the experts in our EOC swung into action. We created a series of maps for FDA field offices overlaid with the predicted storm track and FDA-regulated companies in the storm's path to give us a picture of Sandy's potential impact. Monitoring reports from our field offices, we produced situation reports, which we fed to FEMA and other agencies. This awareness was crucial in strengthening the agencies' preparedness and immediate response efforts.
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, some of our most important work is just beginning. FDA's district offices are reaching out to the affected states and regulated industries to assess the full impact of this devastating storm. Our offices are using detailed and specialized maps, as well as historical information about facilities, to decide which manufacturing plants to inspect first.
The first priority might be a damaged plant that manufactures complex monoclonal antibodies to treat cancer, a flooded facility that produces medical devices, or a cold storage food warehouse that has lost power. As we assess the damage, we need to inspect facilities and focus on situations that pose the greatest risk to public health and safety.
In the case of an unprecedented natural disaster like Sandy, state and local governments may ask for help with tasks they normally perform, such as inspecting restaurants, school and hospital cafeterias, and facilities where diagnostic x-ray and mammography equipment are installed. Working with our parent Department of Health and Human Services and FEMA, FDA can provide expert teams of inspectors with specialized training to assess and help correct problems.
Fortunately, storms like Sandy occur rarely. But when they do, FDA employees are on the job, dedicated to protecting the public health and working to keep you safe.

I picked up the kindle edition of The Thinking Beekeeper: A Guide to Natural Beekeeping in Top Bar Hives by Christy Hemenway last week and read it. I was able to get it for 9.99 and I needed something to read on a trip out of town so I figured it would be a good choice. This is the third Top Bar Hive book that has come out since late summer. The other two, Top-Bar Beekeeping: Organic Practices for Honeybee Health by Les Crowder and Heather Harrell, and Top-Bar Hive Beekeeping Wisdom & Pleasure Combined by Wyatt Mangum have been out for a while now. This is a short comparison of the three books.
First, Top-Bar Hive Beekeeping Wisdom & Pleasure Combined by Wyatt Mangum is a full size book with a ton of pictures. It cost more than the other two combined (I think it was $50). I'm sure this is partly due to the number of photos and the size and binding of the book. And the font size is not too small, which seems to be a problem for me on some of the newer books I've looked at. For me this is a good book since Dr. Mangum keeps his bees in Virginia and I also live in Virginia. This book is partially a biography of Dr. Mangum, so there is a lot background on his experience. Rarely will he mention something in the book were he doesn't go in to detail of how he learned of something. I would have preferred if the book would have been edited to include only information on Top Bar hives, but it is his book and that was his decision. I'm married to an editor, and I'm used to seeing great volumes of words being chucked out the window on a daily basis. I think this book could be edited down in a second edition and make it much more readable (the same could be said of this mini-review!) On the other hand this book goes into more detail of building a hive, and has great photos throughout. Dr. Mangum keeps around 200 Top Bar hives for regional migratory pollination, which is a bit unusual, and he has been doing it for over 25 years. He does treat his bees, so if you are purely treatment free you may want to know ahead of time. If you can afford it, pick up this book, if for nothing but the photos. There are a lot of practical lessons from someone who has kept a lot of Top Bar hives for a long time. I dont want to compare Wyatts book to the other books as it is much larger and has a lot of photos. On the other hand his book costs a lot more.
The second book I picked up was Top-Bar Beekeeping: Organic Practices for Honeybee Health by Les Crowder and Heather Harrell ($16.47). Les is located in New Mexico, so his climate is a bit different than mine. He is also a long time Top Bar Hive beek and bee inspector. This is more of the no non-sense book. I really like this book. I think I may be a bit biased on my liking as I've made my hive bodies almost the same as Les does, but this was more by accident than plan though. He doesn't spend a lot of time on hive construction, but it is probably enough. I do think that for a first time top bar hive beek it never hurts to have more detail on construction, as I imagine a lot of first time Top Bar hive beeks haven't built anything since 7th grade shop class. There are a bunch of pages with diagrams on comb management that I find particularly helpful. And he also talks about queen rearing, which I may look into next year (same goes for Wyatt's book). The one thing I don't like about this book is the small type face. Les is a treatment free beekeeper, so keep that in mind when considering this book. I did look at the reviews on Amazon to see what other folks were saying about it. I did think that it was funny that that last review (from "A Reader", with no other books reviewed) gave it five stars but had a link to "The Thinking Beekeeper" book. It does cover all the normal pests and diseases that every other bee book talks about.
The final book, Top-Bar Beekeeping: Organic Practices for Honeybee Health by Christy Hemenway was purchased as an e-book, so font size isn't an issue for me. Christy is in Maine, so she has tough winters to contend with. She is also the owner of Gold Star Honeybees. She is also treatment free and she lists Phil Chandler as her mentor (The Barefoot Beekeeper). She didn't have much information on hive construction, but she did provide a drawing with dimensions of a hive and also recommended that you could purchase a hive from Gold Star or other commercial hive builders. I hate to compare an e-book with a real book as some of the art in making a book is the layout. The photos are all black and white in my Kindle app, I assume they are in color in the book. Over 25 percent of the book is end-notes, glossary, appendices, and the index. I read this book in no time flat, it seems pretty light. After reading these books as well as the other "regular" bee books it gets pretty repetitive. Mites, beetles, foul brood, bears, etc. To me I didn't get anything out of this book that I didn't get already from Les Crowder's book. I may have said the same thing about Les's book if I had read his second. Part of this may be my bias on end entrances versus middle entrances though. Not a bad book, but between Christy's and Les's book I prefer Les's.

About the Book
Only two obstacles stand between Napoleon's mighty army and its seemingly certain conquest of Portugal: a land wasted and stripped of food at Wellington's orders . . . and Captain Richard Sharpe. But perils from within and without threaten the bold captain of the Light Company -- the hatred and incompetence of a superior officer, the vicious treachery of a false ally . . . and the overwhelming numbers of a fierce, determined enemy, combining to make Sharpe's escape a near impossibility.

VIDEO: The trailer for Where In the World Is Osama bin Laden?
Funny how spring movies can mirror the options of spring break: this year Hollywood offers trips to Vegas, Hawaii, Mexico, the '20s, the '80s, Narnia, Gitmo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. For stay-at-home types, there are proms, concerts, campus high jinks, and comic books. And for those who want to act like adults, there are comedies and tragedies about sex, love, birth, and death.
VIDEO: The trailer for Stop Loss
Maybe we can find a clue into why Owen Wilson got so down on himself in DRILLBIT TAYLOR (March 21), in which he plays an inept mercenary hired by bullied high-school kids. Steven Brill directs. On a more serious note: lauded indie director David Gordon Green makes his studio debut with his adaptation of SNOW ANGELS, Stewart O'Nan's novel about relationships. Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell star.
So when does the vacation start? Not with STOP LOSS (March 28), Kimberly Peirce's contribution to the Iraq War movie surge. Ryan Phillippe stars in this parable of a hero who's compelled to put in another tour of duty.
Now you're talking: let's hit the tables! In 21 (March 28), Robert Luketic tells the true story of six MIT students who figured out how to win in Vegas. Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, and Laurence Fishburne star. What do you want to bet more people will want to watch these spoiled rich kids cheat than see blue-collar stiffs get killed in combat?
VIDEO: The trailer for Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
It seems too early for football — the 1920s, that is. George Clooney directs and stars in LEATHERHEADS (April 4), in which a struggling team tries to survive without face masks and with Renée Zellweger in the cast. And it may be too late for the sixtysomething Rolling Stones, who are caught in concert in Martin Scorsese's SHINE A LIGHT (April 4).
All the same, the Stones are probably better than the band playing in Nelson McCormick's PROM NIGHT (April 11), though that outfit has to contend with a serial killer. Maybe it should hire Drillbit Taylor, or go scouting for new campus digs like the seniors in Deb Hagan's COLLEGE (April 11).
Because all too soon you're grown up and facing dilemmas like BABY MAMA (April 18). Directed by Michael McCullers and starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, this one's a comedy about a successful businesswoman who hires a working-class stiff to have her baby. Or you're coming to terms with the notion that the '80s are over and you might not get another chance to be a drummer in a superband, as in THE ROCKER (April 18), a dark comedy from Peter Cattaneo. And come to think of it — WHERE INTHE WORLD IS OSAMA BIN LADEN? (April 18). Documentarian Morgan Spurlock wants to know. No doubt that's what they'll be asking the title pair in Jon Hurwitz & Hayden Schlossberg's HAROLD AND KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTÁNAMO BAY (April 25); Kal Penn and John Cho reprise their roles.

Along with the creation of this copyright comes a bundle of rights that the creator immediately has. The creator can, for example, sell or license her copyright to someone else. In a nutshell, that's the music business: someone creates a copyright, allows someone to use it, and then derives financial compensation for that use.
Of course, this process of allowing someone to use a copyright and the actual use of the copyright can result in any number of complexities, but at the core there is simply the copyright.
To be a successful artist in the music business or to be a successful business person in the music business you MUST understand how copyrights work - they are the currency of the record industry. This section will explain them.

The program works to reduce the price of medications, which is one of the essential steps in containing the rising costs of health care. Through the Oregon Prescription Drug Program, the Oregon Health Authority is able to save money for consumers, employers and the state on medications.
The agenda will be posted 30 days in advance of the meeting. You may view meeting directions and agendas on the OSU College of Pharmacy website.
OHP provides a drug benefit to all Medicaid-eligible clients. It uses a Preferred Drug List, created and maintained by the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee; establishes reimbursement rates paid to pharmacies; and negotiates discounts with drug manufacturers.

I had a previous thread on Shrinking plastic bottles.
I have a bottling tank that I increased from 60 degrees to 120 degrees to remove the crystalization.
I noticed that the honey that is now coming out of the bottling tank is much much darker than the honey that I first took out. I have a bottle from it and the honey is a light colored honey,
Does warming honey up darken the honey.

Pine Mountain Gospel Church in Backus faces break in
When a member of Pine Mountain Gospel Church noticed lights on in a boarded off section of the building, it was a dead giveaway that someone had broken in.
Youth pastor Blair Ecker said someone had broken in through an undisclosed means and basically explored the older part of the building, which was boarded off from the sections that are most used.
"It was kids being curious, and we kind of knew that right when we got here. Nothing was missing, nothing was broken," Ecker said. "I hate to throw the book at some kid. This building is such a draw for the curious kids."
"What they did there wasn't a lot of damage," said Pine River Police Chief Paul Sand. "It was more like vandalism."
Ecker asked the children in the congregation to spread the word that the responsible party was going to be given the chance to avoid charges.
"I just put out word to them and I said by Thursday night at six o'clock I'm going to be here to clean that up. If they are here that's their get out of jail card. They showed up and they were really nice guys, too," Ecker said.
Ecker said police had told him no charges were necessary if the guilty parties confessed, apologized and cleaned up the mess they left behind.
Sand said the break in is still under investigation.
"If they are adults or juveniles they'll probably go to court, and then we'll let the attorney up there decide if and what they want to charge them for," Sand said.
The charges could result in more community service or other charges.
Ecker said the church is in agreement that the admission, apology and assistance in cleaning up were satisfactory discipline, and they don't wish to encourage legal action against the responsible kids.
"I was impressed when they showed up. Then I was expecting tattoos and piercings. We actually had fun cleaning it up. They were good guys. I was glad that it worked out that way," Ecker said. "It turned into a positive thing. I met these three guys and invited them to church even. They said they might check it out."
This is the first time the building has been broken into or vandalized since becoming Pine Mountain Gospel Church. This break-in occurred at 10:24 a.m. Sunday, April 21. Though Sand and Ecker would not give details about the responsible parties, what vandalism took place or where they entered the building, Ecker said the church will depend more on the security system in the future to prevent future incidents.

Nuts-and-bolts information to plan your trip, plus a checklist of essentials to include when you pack and a list of links to local media
Entry Requirements: U.S. citizens need a valid passport to enter Germany and can stay up to 90 days without a visa.
Security: Chances of becoming a victim of petty theft, assault, or other crime are lower in Berlin than in most other big cities. Still, it won't hurt to take all the usual precautions, such as stashing valuables in the hotel safe and keeping an eye on your belongings. In case of emergency, dial the police at 110.
Time: Berlin is six hours ahead of U.S. eastern standard time.
Money: The currency of Germany is the euro. For current conversion rates go to OANDA Currency Converter. www.oanda.com/convert/classic
Phone Calls: Berlin's area code is 030. For calls from the U.S., dial 011-49-30 plus the local number. To phone the U.S. from Berlin, dial 001 followed by the area code and phone number.
When to Go: The best time to visit Berlin is from May to October when life moves outdoors, days are long and warm (70-90°F or 20-30°C), and festivals brighten daily life. Rain is a possibility any time of year, but more common between November and April.
Getting There: Berlin's two international airports (Tegel and Schönefeld) are served by several international carriers. The only direct flights from the U.S. are from New York; coming from another city requires a change of planes in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, London, or another European city.
Getting Around: Driving in Berlin is on the right, but the city is best explored by public transportation, a combination of subway, light rail, buses, and trams. The average taxi fare to the city center is $28 from Tegel and $42 from Schönefeld.
Advance Reservations: Tickets to the opera, philharmonic orchestra, and major touring acts often sell out quickly. For upcoming events and advance tickets, contact the Berlin tourist office (www.visitberlin.de).
ATM Card: "Cash is king in Berlin."—Jeremy Gray, co-author, National Geographic Traveler: Berlin. Credit card use is not nearly as widespread in Berlin as it is in the U.S., so always carry a couple hundred euros in cash to pay for most restaurant meals, admission, tickets, drinks, cab fare, services, and purchases. Hotels and gas stations usually accept credit cards. Travelers' checks are not common and must be exchanged into cash at banks or currency offices.
Comfortable Shoes: "Berlin just begs to be explored on foot."—Henrik Tidefjärd, owner Berlinagenten custom tours and travel services. Many of Berlin's plum sights cluster right in the city center and intriguing hidden spots lurk behind doors and in courtyards only found at street level.
Dressy Clothing: Berliners dress casually but not without style. If you're wearing shorts, a T-shirt, and sneakers to the opera or a fancy restaurant, you'll likely feel underdressed. "And definitely lose that baseball cap if you want to blend in."—Henrik Tidefjärd.
Ear Plugs: To ensure a good night's sleep,always carry earplugs, especially if you're sensitive to traffic noise or your hotel room neighbors' late-night shenanigans.
Medications: Aside from all prescription medicine, also pack an emergency stash of over-the-counter pain medication, upset stomach medicine, anti-allergy pills, or whatever else you may need. Many medications easily available in U.S. drugstores are only sold in Berlin pharmacies (if at all) and may require a doctor's prescription. Non-emergency medical referrals are available at "Call a Doc" (tel. 01804 2255 2362).
Travel Adaptors: Standard voltage is 220 volts versus 110 volts in the U.S. Most cameras, phones, and laptops work on both voltages but require a German outlet adaptor with two round pins.
Tri-Band Cell Phone: Unless your U.S. cell phone is compatible with the European GSM 900/1800 standard, you won't be able to use it in Berlin. If it is, save by buying a prepaid, rechargeable SIM card with a local number; rates start at $29.
Umbrella or Raincoat: "You never know when it's going to rain, even in summer."—Jeremy Gray. Berlin weather can be unpredictable, and the average annual rainfall is 23 inches (58 centimeters).

Patriots Perspective: 'Tech Time' for Pequot Lakes Schools
Teacher manuals, filmstrips, 8mm movie reels, tape recorder, opaque projector, chalkboard and a purple ditto machine with that horrible smelling fluid.
I know I am aging myself, but those were the tools I had access to as I began my teaching career in 1987. Reflecting back I sound like a grandmother as I am able to recount the advent of — and explain — dot matrix printer paper that rolled out of the machine with perforated edges, floppy disks with "holes" that the students couldn't touch, and video cameras so big they hurt your shoulder in use.
But it wasn't that long ago, right? I'm really not that old. "Tech Time" just moves quicker than "Real Time." And with its ever quickening speed of change, we are faced with infinite possibilities. With those possibilities come decisions — at home, at work and in our schools.
Families make decisions about cell phones, computer use and social networking. Businesses acquire equipment and software to streamline processes, research possibilities, build databases and network with others.
And schools? There is no doubt that technology is revolutionizing the way teachers can teach and students can learn.
With the Internet and digital curriculum, walls have tumbled down. The classroom is as big as the world and all the people in it. Inquiry, research, demonstrations, presentations, animations, virtualizations are all at our fingertips in a matter of seconds.
As an educator, and a parent, it is both exhilarating and daunting. The implementation of instructional technology must be done right.
So what does that mean, "done right?" To me, it comes down to many words that start with the letter "P" all happening simultaneously within the school setting. The following are what I believe to be Pequot Lakes' "Ps" for tech integration:
• Passed: In 2011, district voters approved the bond referendum. This referendum updated all facilities and created a strong infrastructure for instructional technology and wireless education. We are all so grateful for this support and commitment.
• People: School board, superintendent, administrators, teachers, IT support and staff are all working together through building and district technology committees, designing a comprehensive tech roadmap for the future.
PTA and community members are supporting the purchase of devices and integration. And a district-wide tech integrationist helps tie the pieces together.
• Possibilities & Planning: This year a large school group attended the MN TIES Tech Conference. Devices, programs and platforms have been investigated and piloted throughout the year. We are connected to statewide technology networks where ideas are shared and problems navigated. We continue to sift through the nonstop possibilities for our students.
• Policy & Procedures: Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Acceptable Use Policies have been written and are about to be shared with all stakeholders. Definitions and procedures need to be specifically stated so that teachers are able to incorporate devices for enhanced instruction and students optimize their potential safely and without distraction. BYOD will also inform and impact purchasing decisions.
• Purchases & Preparation: While some districts purchase devices and give to students in a 1:1 initiative, we believe it's important to have the "right tool for the task."
This is not to say we won't be a 1:1 school district at some point, but right now our tech roadmap includes a variety of devices for different ages and/or curricular needs.
These devices, as well as programs and platforms, must be paired with preparation of use. Tech support needs time to install and troubleshoot. Teachers need time and professional development training to implement to the fullest degree.
• Progress: As we begin these initial stages, we can never forget measurements of progress and student achievement. Effectiveness must be analyzed. Enhanced teaching and engaged, rigorous learning are the goals of these investments. They must happen.
• Perseverance & Patience: "Tech Time" moves faster than "Real Time," but it's going to take "Real Time" to do this right. That is going to take patience and perseverance as we research and implement options, wait for the completion of the building project, watch other districts implement new things or see ideas we'd like for our children.
We also need to remember that technology is not the answer to everything. It will never replace the caring, concerned, dynamic teacher. It will just allow that teacher to take his or her instruction to a new and different level.
• Perfection: Sorry, that's not one of our "Ps" and probably never will be. Practice and perfecting, yes. Complete perfection, no.
From purple dittos to SMART Boards, I have seen so much in my 26 years. For me, there are too many exciting change possibilities to ever be perfect or content. I can only imagine what I will see in the next five years of my career.
It's exciting to think about, but only "Tech Time" will tell.
(Laurie Wig is director of curriculum, assessment and instructional technology at Pequot Lakes Schools.)

Scozzafava endorses Democrat in NY-23
posted at 4:15 pm on November 1, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Doesn't this prove the point conservatives had been making about Dede Scozzafava all along?
One day after she suspended her own campaign and declined to publicly endorse either of her opponents, Republican Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava has formally announced her support for Democratic candidate Bill Owens. …
This isn't a huge surprise. According to the Watertown Times, Scozzafava, who is angry about the indignities she suffered at the hands of Conservative nominee Doug Hoffman, was quietly encouraging her supporters yesterday to support Owens.
In addition, her labor leader husband, Ron McDougall, issued a late-night endorsement of Owens via a statement released by the AFL -CIO, which signaled the start of a labor wave moving from Scozzafava's camp to Owens' side. This could prove critical when it comes to the GOTV effort.
Uh, sure, as if that 19% or so that backed Scozzafava in the race included a "labor wave". The union voters were not going to back the Republican in this race, outside of McDougall and a few of his buddies. They're already behind Owens, even with the Card Check-supporting Scozzafava in the race. Why wouldn't they have already wanted to give Nancy Pelosi another caucus vote?
There are two ways of looking at this. Either Scozzafava doesn't mind throwing Republicans under the bus for a little dog-in-the-manger revenge, or she's a lot closer in policy to the Democrat than the conservative candidate. Neither of those commends Scozzafava, nor the county party leaders who handpicked her to replace John McHugh. In fact, it makes it clear that conservatives were right all along to point out Scozzafava's unsuitability for the endorsement — and should result in replacing the GOP bosses in NY-23 who bungled it.

When building a brand - I always start with a client's own personal story. At the Icehouse's Hatchery, where people come with their new business ideas, we explore why they got into this business originally and why they are here today, what are things that have inspired this journey.
For example we worked with Peta Tearle, a very talented colourist. We journeyed way back into her childhood and she discovered some very significant design and colour memories - her love of fabrics and patterns, the coordinated dolls clothes and the knitting projects she embarked on with her grandmother. These were gems that help form the emotional essence of a strong brand.
For some, the journey stems from a "personal pain point"
I am currently working with a very clever costume designer, Jane Holland who has worked on many well-known international films. Her own personal pain point inspired her to design and create a very functional and fashionable pair of jodhpurs that she intends to share with the world.
See shed11.com.
An entrepreneur must ask what they want from their business today and in the future
We look at the target customer segments and through some market research and validation we understand what the customer pain points are and where they see value in the proposition.
Map out the competitors - What are their brand personalities? Where are they positioned? What market space do they own? What are the gaps in the brand matrix? Are there gaps? What can you own?
A stand out brand personality
And if all the work and the thinking and questioning come together, what shines through is a 'stand out brand personality'. It's a great moment when you have been working with these businesses and you know they have hit the 'brand jackpot'. They have identified what they believe in and what their customers can believe in. The brand will form the heart and spirit of their journey ahead.
If you can do this thinking up front then it can form a powerful blueprint for the business from a very early stage. It can be driven internally into the culture and makes it easy for the customers to connect with the brand from the start.
The Hatchery Program:
The three month Hatchery Program is run through the ICEHOUSE, targeted toward entrepreneurial thinking people that have a new product or concept they want to develop into a business.
