Where are the Jewish sponsors?
I can't believe there is anything resembling honest, clear and fair discussion in this since there are no Jewish sponsors..not even one synagogue or local rabbi.
It would be like a speech talking about anti-Catholicism and how we shouldn't abuse the history of suffering of Catholics in doing so, but there isn't a single Catholic sponsor, and in fact, the only sponsors are Baptists, who generally are not known for the love and understanding of Catholics.
Had my interest until I saw the sponsors.

Dear Draw the Line:
Perhaps you would find it interesting that Dr. Finkelstein is Jewish and that both of his late parents are Jewish survivors of Nazi concentration camps.
Here's Dr. Finkelstein's website: Web Link

Last March eighteen local Zionist hardliners from Santa Cruz area, half of them rabbis, signed a petition denouncing Dr. Finkelstein and local event sponsor, Resource Center for Nonviolence.
More about this shoddy hit-piece here: Web Link
An excerpt:
"Of course, the flyer gives no indication whether its preparation was a group project or an assignment undertaken by one or two members of the group. It gives no hint whether its secondary sources are ungooglable; perhaps translations of NRC Handlesblad's back issues are available in our local library. Certainly, clergy encounter a variety of pressures - including time constraints - in any setting. In this instance, taking shortcuts, skipping the research, trusting in unchecked cliff notes or colleagues, has contributed not only to poor scholarship, but to poor leadership. Even when the typist makes errors only in spelling and footnotes, in submitting a group project, everyone takes equal responsibility and makes the same grade.
The citizens of Santa Cruz, certainly the 150 people who joined in the candlelight vigil for whom the flyer purports to speak, deserve better from their local Jewish leaders than this distorted and misleading hit-piece on Norman Finkelstein and the Resource Center for Nonviolence."

Regarding the title: Exactly what would be the proper use of anti-Semitism?
a resident of College Terrace
on Jan 18, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Dear Resident of Midtown:
In my humble opinion, anti-Semitism is best used when it protects Jews from anti-Semitism and the inhumanity of racists, including racist Jews.
Your thoughts?

Interesting who praises him and who criticizes him.
Freedom of speech comes with the responsibility of the listener to be discerning.

Dear Robin,
Actually I hope you will explain how anti-Semitism can protect Jews (and, I suppose, all Semites) against anti-Semitism. Under what conditions can this be true? Ignorance is dangerous rather than comforting.
a resident of College Terrace

Dear Resident of Midtown:
Perhaps the proper use of the concept of anti-Semitism will be more understandable if we briefly discuss the misuse of the concept of anti-Semitism.
Misuse and/or distortion of the concept of anti-Semitism have been used to label criticism of the state of Israel as anti-Semitic and silence legitimate criticisms of Israeli policy.
Abuse of the Holocaust story has been exploited to promote Israel's political agenda and overlook Palestinian suffering.
I believe misuse of anti-Semitism imperils all Jews, and conversely, correctly use of the concept of anti-Semitism protects all Jews.

Thank you for the clarification. Then could we say that it is a misuse of patriotism to call someone a traitor if they question their government? Just checking on the use of the word misuse here.

Antisemitism: To hate semitic peoples.
Jews are semites, most Arabs are semites. You either hate semitic people or you don't. If you hate semitic peoples you are an antisemite.
As far as stifling criticism of the the state of Israel, in this Jew's opinon we have ceased to be David and have become Goliath. No one has prevented me from saying that, and I defy anyone to try.
I understand what the state of Israel is facing, but partition, the force of arms, and anti-Arab feeling will get Israel nowhere.
In he words of Golda Meir:
With an enemy you talk. You can always talk. There are people on both sides who wish only for peace.
On the other hand, there are people on both sides who do not want peace. Nothing I have said is antisemitic. It is criticism of Israel, but it is not anti-Semitic. I'm just sayin'.

Resident of Midtown:
Those who systematically misuse the concept of anti-Semitism in an untruthful and unfair manner need to be put on notice that they are responsible for imperiling Jews.
I daresay that goes double for Jewish leadership.
Still uncertain about what "misuse" means?

Hey Robin:
Look at
Web Link
Are these misuses on anti-semitism?
a resident of College Terrace

It seems the source you referenced (MEMRI) has earned a lot of critism:
Web Link
"Much criticism against MEMRI is based on a pair of articles written in 2002 and 2005 respectively by Brian Whitaker, the Middle East editor for the UK Guardian newspaper who wrote that "the stories selected by Memri for translation follow a familiar pattern: either they reflect badly on the character of Arabs or they in some way further the political agenda of Israel."[12]
Ibrahim Hooper, a director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, claimed in the Washington Times that "MEMRI's intent is to find the worst possible quotes from the Muslim world and disseminate them as widely as possible."[12]
Hussein Ibish, a spokesman for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee comments that "There is of course some horrific stuff in the Arab press, but one tends to forget that the American press can also be very nasty. MEMRI performs a useful function but unfortunately they have a pro-Israel, right-wing agenda."[13]
William Rugh, former US ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, describes MEMRI as a service which "does not present a balanced or complete picture of the Arab print media. ...Quotes are selected to portray Arabs as preaching hatred against Jews and westerners, praising violence and refusing any peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue."[14]
Ken Livingstone, former British MP and the current Mayor of London, has accused MEMRI of "outright distortion".[15] In the forward to a report he commissioned to explain his reasons for meeting with controversial Muslim scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi, he states his opinion that MEMRI "tend to portray Islam in a very negative light."
NB: And just look at who endorses MEMRI!

More about MEMRI:
Web Link
"MEMRI was founded in 1998 by its president Yigal Carmon, a retired colonel from Israeli military intelligence, and the academic Dr. Meyrav Wurmser."
Turns out Dr. Meyrav Wursmer is married to neo-con of American Enterprise Institute fame and former special ass't to John Bolton, David Wurmser:

And finally, take a quick look at the roster at AEI:

More about David Wurmser...
Turns out he's credited as being one of the main authors of the 1996 "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" report, a paper prepared for incoming Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
So much is appalling about this report that I urge you to see for yourself:
Web Link
a resident of Stanford

Oh, that is good.
Lost all credibility because she is married to someone in the think tank AEI who is a ..gasp...neocon!!!
That is like the old Mcarthyism of calling someone a ....communist!!
Do you know what a Neoconservative is? It is someone who was (and still is) truly liberal, truly dedicated to the liberal ideals of equality of opportunity for all,
truth and transparency,
human rights,
freedom to speak your opinion on anything without fear from your government,
on the side of helping the poor get a leg up,
for education.....
and woke up one day to discover that while he wasn't paying attention, the liberal ideals of this country had been hijacked by people who believe that we are better off
siding with dictators,
and had destroyed and distorted these ideals to the point of
trying to quash free speech ( the McCain-Feingold fiasco),( they are at it again now with the "Fairness act" coming up),
reward destructive behaviors, thereby causing MORE harm than good,( think having as many babies as possible to make more money)
creating laws that make the value of lives inequal and based on color (think "Hate crimes" legislation),
creating laws that were meant to equalize the field, but were implemented in a way that imply that one color is less capable than another and so "needs extra help" ( think affirmative action),
supporting abortion under all realms and at all times in the pregnancy
supporting legislation that denies medical care to babies who survive abortions (that is the what the latest God of liberalism, Obama, voted for,)
denying children and their parents the ability to go to the school of their choice (vouchers), which hurts ONLY the poor in our country, not the middle class and rich, since the poor are stuck with whatever school they have close by,
I could go on and on. The doublespeak of the book "1984" is overwhelming now, and has turned many of us into "neocons".
There are many think tanks, AEI being just one, that is "neocon"..ie, thinking logically and factually about the best way to actually make progress on our truly liberal ideals.
So, feel free to call any of us neocons in such a dismissive way. It shows you haven't a clue about what one is.

Like reading just a little bit of the Iraq Study Group's report outside of the context of the whole report leads to false conclusions, so does this Wikipedia page.
Here is the WHOLE report.

Read it all in context.
Israel, like us, is not afraid to show all aspects of advice she gets.
She is a democracy, with free speech.

Draw the Line:
MEMRI's Meryat Wurmser is far more than just the wife of David Wurmser, she co-authored the report with him, Perle, et al:
Web Link
'According to the report's preamble[1], it was
"prepared by the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies' Study Group on a New Israeli Strategy Toward 2000. The main substantive ideas in this paper emerge from a discussion in which prominent opinion makers, including Richard Perle, James Colbert, Charles Fairbanks, Jr., Douglas Feith, Robert Loewenberg, David Wurmser, and Meyrav Wurmser participated."'
And now we come full circle to Meryat Wurmser's MEMRI actually doctoring a videotaped interview of Dr. Norman Finkelstein to portray him as a holocaust denier:
Web Link
Enough misuse of anti-Semitism, yet?

Sorry, the post before this was in reference to the Wurmser report " A clean break" site on Wikipedia that Robin posted

I watched the MEMRI version versus the version on the Official Website of Finkelstein.
If it is true that the Official Finkelstein video version is the TRUE version ( which I have to say my trust is low given technical abilities nowadays) then I am appalled with MEMRI. It should have, for credibility, stated on the site that the video version was EXCERPTED from the full video.They did clearly state this on the TRANSCRIPT, but if you do not read down a bit, and only click the video, you would have no idea it was "excerpts".
Of course, democracies allow any groups to say anything ( witness our moveon.org), but if MEMRI is like Moveon,slurring greatly the line of honesty, then I am never trusting it again.
Does anybody have anything else on MEMRI?? I am writing them.
On the other hand, this just continues to support that we have to read the SOURCE of every report, the whole source, to get true news. I guess MEMRI is like every other news outlet..

Dear Rafe:
I don't pretend to know what Israel should or should not do, and don't unequivocally defend her, though I know there are some who do. I agree with you that some of what she does is questionable.
I only know a few things...that from the day of her creation she has been able to trust none of her neighbors, who, until a few recently changed a little, all professed only to the burning hatred of her and desire for her annhilation.
I also know that many histories and even accounts of modern times, news "in action", from the Arab point of view have been horribly inaccurate, inflammatory, flat out false.
I have been told by Muslims and read the Quran for confirmation that for the fundamentalist Muslim, telling lies to the unbeliever in the name of promoting Islam is not only moral, but obligatory. I am not saying most Muslims buy this, I have a hard time believing that. But, as a result, anything that comes out of the Middle East that is NOT from Israel is hard for me to believe.
That said, I actually agree with you, that just because Israel is Israel doesn't mean she has the right to increase her settlements, or maybe even some of her other actions that seem so brutal.
On the other hand, I am, was..actually,... friends with a Lebanese family who moved back to Lebanon a couple years ago, and the "news" she sent me as "true" was so incredibly falsified ( come on, she was still getting "news" about Jews beating Arab children to death and then using them in secret rituals!!) How can anyone believe that stuff?
Her view is unchangeable because she was raised with that hate. Gives me no hope, and makes me understand why Israel wants to just build a huge wall and leave the Palestine side to themselves until they stop teaching their children to hate. It makes me understand, as awful as it is, why she feels that the only way to decrease the suicides and rockets into Israel is to plow up the homes of the families of anyone who does these things, because the people who commit such atrocities have no regard for their own lives, and hide amongst even more innocent Palestinians and use them as shields if not stopped.
Israel is in a horrible spot. Sometimes all I can do is give up in despair. Every time in the last 55 years that Israel has given back land or allowed people back into land, they have been seen as weak and killed or surrounded by armies wanting to kill them. Even the Pink Ladies of Israel, who had been agitating for years to give back land to the Palestinians, disbanded after the returned land was once again used to launch attacks on Israel this summer.
Imagine being in Rhode Island, surrounded by all those states committed to your annhilation, and think about what you would do to assure that you are not wiped off the face of the earth.
To quote Golda Meir
Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.

Drey: "Erin, what are you doing?"
Erin: Smiling says, "Drey, I hear you like taller women. (Pause) Bazinga!"
Drey: "Oh, yeah?" (Finds another box, smirks and one ups Erin) saying, "Waddup?"
Erin: (Rage) "Whatever!" (Pause) "So, you wrote the speech, right?"
Drey: "No. I thought you did."
Erin: "I was too busy perfecting my last comp essay."
Drey: "I bet I beat ya!"
Erin: "Lies!"
Ever since we were young, competition has been a driving force in our lives. The first thing that usually comes to mind at the word "competition" is sports. But, competition has a broader application than what many perceive. The two of us have been battling it out academically since … well, forever. We have always been competitive in school. From comparing comp essay scores to razzing each other about calculus tests, our friendly competition has only grown. Sometimes, especially when you are young, it isn't easy to stay competitive about academics when it seems that sports carry all the glory.
Don't get me wrong; they are important as well. However, in the long run, academics and hard work will pay off. Hard work is another tricky subject. I believe that both of us had loving and supportive parents that helped establish our hard work. But that's something each person has to find for themselves.
Finding the drive to do well in school can be hard. A good education is key to success, because chances are, you are not going to be a professional sports player (Drey: "Unless you are Beau Howard. I'm still rootin' for him."). We also had amazing teachers who saw our potential and forged us into strong students.
Sometimes, we grumbled about certain teachers and their amount of work and expectations of us (cough, Mrs. Aimers), but in the long run, it was worth it. Many of us took college classes our last two years of high school, and it's paid off. Oh ,sure, we resented the occasional eight-page minimum research paper and nearly cried when letters of the Greek alphabet were thrown into calculus problems, but after we got over the initial shock, we became better for it. We are better because of the teachers who cared enough to push us.
Of course, that isn't to say there wasn't any humor involved. Class time wasn't all torture. The teachers, like many of their students, had entertaining moments.
First, there was Mr. Moen. I'm sure the most memorable experience any of us had with him was during homecoming one year. What we learned from him: being completely Saran-wrapped by Mrs. Grev and trying to run around the gym will undoubtedly end in a facial reconstruction.
Then we have Mrs. Loge and Madame. What they taught us? Never fall asleep in class, because you will either: A) Be startled by an avalanche of books crashing on your desk, or B) Have a sudden sensation of an earful of water shot from a spray bottle.
Next, we have Mrs. Oakley. As 10th-graders, and the humorous bunch we are, we learned that hiding smart-board pens on TOP of the smart-board just out of her reach is not a good idea. Short people are just as scary as the rest of us when provoked.
And from Mr. Demars: We learned that it is all right to make a massive mistake in calculus every once in awhile … (pause, look at each other). Oh, wait, that never happened!
Then we have Mr. Anderson. Incredible historical knowledge, it seems, will not save you from a fender bender. Not even when the van is packed with Knowledge Bowl brainiacs.
And, of course, we have Mrs. Aimers. From her we learned that sometimes the only solution to sheer comp class stupidity is to bang your head repeatedly against a wall.
That's just a few, and the list is endless. So, yes, we may have just embarrassed a few teachers, but it is a compliment. They are a handful of the many teachers that made an impression on us through high school. I think that is what we should strive to achieve; professions and actions that make lasting impressions on those around us, so that even when we are gone, our actions live on through those around us. But, that is easier said than done. The fear of failure is often overpowering.
Sometimes, there is a nasty little voice in the back of your brain that creeps out when the teachers ask a question and you're wondering whether or not you should offer your answer. The voice asks, "What if you say the wrong answer? Your classmates will think less of you." That's kind of scary. The voice seems like it knows what it's talking about. So you don't raise your hand because it's safer to be quiet. OK, that might seem extreme, but there is truth to it. I know there is truth to it. Because that was me. From sixth grade to the better part of 11th grade, that kid was me. In fact, I still hear that voice to this day. And yet, here I stand; in front of you all, giving a speech. Overcoming fear isn't easy. But the first step towards success is telling that nasty voice to "Zip its face!" Life gets a lot easier after that. Suddenly, raising your hand isn't so scary.
So take it from us. Fear does nothing for you. Do not be afraid. Your dream is right there in front of you. It's playing tag, and you're it. Chase it. Chase it and catch it and don't let it go.
So our challenge to the Class of 2013? Use your dream to make a mark on the lives of those you love. Do something positive that will make an impression on those around you, and do not be afraid. In the end, as some wise man once said, you will get out of it what you have put into it. So go out there, put everything you have into what you love, and make a difference. Have no fear of failure, rejection or judgment because who knows: One day, you might just be the focus of a few jokes by two wacky valedictorians.
As for the two of us, we will continue our friendly competition for the next four years. No fear. Go, Bulldogs!

The literature of Guatemala has been greatly affected (some would even say contorted) by the long civil war and its impact on content, style and availability. Censorship within the country has left many worthy texts still unpublished and many more are not yet available in English translation. Most authors have experienced varying lengths of time living in exile in Mexico, Europe and the United States. But as Guatemalan writers become better known in the United States, their reputations will grow, both as social thinkers and as literary figures. Many of these works are considered "difficult," but reward the patient reader with a rich and enduring view of one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking countries in the New World.
(This list is limited to works available in English.)
Arturo Arias (1950- )
One of the best known Guatemalan authors, Arias continues to write ground-breaking works, in terms of both style and content. His political ideas have evolved from support of the leftist intellectuals to a more critical view of the attempt of radicals to link their agenda to that of the Indians. He is now sometimes criticized for being an outsider trying to represent indigenous "otherness" but has also gained praise for his study and apparent understanding of Indian culture. Unfortunately, many of his most important works are not yet translated into English.
Despues de las bombas was first published in 1979 and translated into English in 1990 as After the Bombs. The novel successfully blends the subjective viewpoint of a boy in Guatemala City against a political backdrop of military coups.
Los Caminos de Paxil, written between (1991-92), and available in English in a 1995 English thesis Translation and Analysis of The Roads to Paxil demonstratess Arias' effective use of an Indian narrator.
Miguel Angel Asturias (1899-1974)
Winner of the Noble Prize for Literature in 1967, Asturias is Guatemala's most enduring author. Many of his writings have been translated into English. Influenced by surrealism, Asturias went on to develop a remarkable style which portrayed the political, cultural and social clashes that have plagued Guatemala. Two novels that reveal social and political conditions which contributed to the Guatemalan civil war are:
Hombres de maiz first published in Buenos Aires, 1949, first published in English in 1975 as Men of Maize, is one of the most important novels published in Latin America. It describes the difficulties faced by indigenous peoples to maintain their culture in the face of overwhelming change and discrimination.
El Senor Presidente first published in Mexico City, 1946, first published in English in 1963 as The President, this novel is a grim indictment of the political corruption and despotism that characterized Guatemala's government during the 1930's and 1940's.
Viento fuerte (1950), el Papa verde (1954) and Los oyos de los enterrados (1960), in English translation known as Strong Wind or The Cyclone, The Green Pope, and The Eyes of the Interred, or all three together as the "banana trilogy," is Asturias' denunciation of U.S. imperialism and economic exploitation. The role of the United States government in the political fortunes of Guatemala has been a constant theme in much of the literature of Guatemala.
Francisco Goldman (1950- )
The Long Night of White Chickens published first in English in 1992. Its Guatemalan-American-Jewish author places his story in the frightening labyrinth of Guatemala City during the worst of the killings.
Victor Montejo (1951- )
The Bird Who Cleans the World; and Other Mayan Fables was published originally in English in 1991. The author, a ladinized Mayan teacher and anthropology graduate student, contemporizes Indian myths and fables told to him by his mother. Each story has a direct link to modern social/political situations, particularly the state sponsored violence waged against indigenous Guatemalans. (See also his testimonio works, below)
Victor Perera (1934- )
U.S.-born Perera has written a variety of works himself and has translated other Guatemalan writers into English.
Rites: a Guatemalan Boyhood was published originally in English in 1986. It is a highly regarded sociological study of the hatred that Guatemalan lower-elite society feels for Indians and everyone else who is somehow "different."
Testimonios (testimonials) have become an important and powerful form of writing in Guatemala, particularly following the publication of Rigoberta Menchu's I, Rigoberta Menchu. Testimonial writing has been interpreted as representing the "true" indigenous Guatemalan experience: simple, linear, value-affirming, spontaneous expressions of "the people." And in some more recent fictive writings mentioned above, one can see the intellectual elite creating narrative styles which attempt to accurately understand and represent indigenous perspectives.
Ignacio Bizarro Ujpan [pseudonym] (n.d)
Son of Tecun Uman: a Maya Indian Tells His Life Story (1981), Campesino: the Diary of a Guatemalan Indian (1985), and Ignacio: the Dairy of a Maya India of Guatemala (1992) are autobiographical works edited and translated by James D. Sexton working with a Guatemalan informant.
Rigoberta Menchu (n.d)
Me llamo Rigoberta Menchu y asi me nacio la conciencias was first published in France, Spain and Cuba in 1983, and first in English as I, Rigoberta Menchu (London) in 1984. It has been republished many times, and now has been rewritten by Menchu. This single work is credited with finally drawing international attention to the genocidal policies of the Guatemalan military governments and, indeed, resulted in a Nobel Prize for the author. The book has since drawn much controversy, sparked primarily by the publication of anthropologist David Stoll's work Rigoberta Menchu and the Story of All Poor Guatemalans (1999). Stoll is a U.S. trained anthropologist who has studied in Guatemala and, after reading Menchu's book, became concerned about discrepancies in the text. His criticism of Menchu has raised heated discussion about the motives of both Menchu and Stoll, and about the literary devices of the testimonio genre. Stol has now just published jointly with Arturo Arias another study of this issue The Rigoberta Menchu Controversy (2001).
Victor Montejo (1951- )
Testimonio: muerte de una comunidad indigena en Guatemala (1993) and published in English as Testimony: Death of a Guatemalan Village (1987).
Mario Roberto Morales (1947- )
Senores bajo los arboles was published in Spanish in Guatemala in 1994, and then in English as Face of the Earth, Heart of the Sky in 2000. This work represents a sort of "testinovela," a cross between novel and testimonial.
Mario Payeras (1950- )
Dias de la selva (1980) was published in English in 1983 as Days of the Jungle; the Testimony of a Guatemalan Guerrillero, 1972-1976. This work and its author had considerable influence over younger leftist writers, some of whom have now questioned the link between radical political ideas and the plight of the Guatemalan Indians.

For a remarkable glimpse of Guatemalan literature, Marc Zimmerman and Raul Rojas have published Voices from the Silence; Guatemalan Literature of Resistence (1998), in which they have pieced together portions of poetry, fiction, testimonio, and other writings to create a literary collage of resistence writing. Samples from the works of many authors--most of which have not yet been translated into English--are arranged in a narration which, when taken as a whole, gives the reader an overwhelming sense of the culture, history, politics, violence, hatred and beauty that is Gautemala today.

This was my HUGE wedding party!
Noah and I had 7 attendants each, with 2 flower girls, 1 ring bearer, and 3 ushers. It was a LOT of people to keep up with!
Noah and his attendants...his dad was his best man.
With my girls - all were my sorority sisters! My maid of honor (lower left hand corner) was my roommate in college.
Our flower girls, Kinley and Marion. They are Noah's cousin's daughters!
And our ring bearer, David. He's Noah's cousin on the OTHER side of the family (they have a huge family!).
There wasn't a section of "Show Us Your Life," but we got married at First Methodist in Tuscaloosa (and still attend that church today). Here's your random fact of the day - Bear Bryant's funeral was held there. So there ya go.
And boy did we have some flowers in that church. :)
Our unity candle.
On the other side of the altar, this was dedicated to our late grandparents.
The pew flowers...
...and our HUGE arrangements for the front of the church! We had three of these (but I kind of wish I had only gotten one - the other two just kind of blended in).
The food table at the reception (Jemison mansion for those locals)
This was probably my favorite part of the flowers - this was the mantle behind our cake. It was absolutely GORGEOUS. Made for some great pictures too! :)
My cake...
...Noah's cake (which was the most amazing thing I've ever eaten, by the way...Noah doesn't like chocolate, so he got a caramel cake)...
and the table arrangements!
Thanks for stopping by...you can also see my wedding dress here!

Another new gimmick. Like I said, gigo.
by The Return of Light Joker July 31, 2009
"Garbage in Gospel out" is a more recent expansion of the acronym "Garbage in Garbage out". It is a sardonic comment on the tendency to put excessive trust in "computerized" data, and on the propensity for individuals to blindly accept what the computer says. Because the data goes through the computer, people tend to believe it (from wikipedia)
I have this awesome model, but the input parameters I've got are wrong. Any results I get would be so GIGOOO!

Art prints & frames, handmade in England since 1982
In contemporary culture, due to the popularity of cartoons such as Donald Duck and Daffy Duck, these birds have been associated as being funny and humorous. The Japanese however consider them as symbols of luck and faithfulness, whilst Mandarin ducks are associated with love by the Chinese. Mostly found in both fresh and sea water, the word duck derives from Old English 'duce' which means dive or to bend down low as if to get under something. Ducks are also considered to be resourceful because of their ability to fly, run, swim and dive.

Woman Trapped in Car After Rollover Accident on Highway 101
Accident Occurred Just South of Airport Boulevard
SALINAS, Calif. - - The California Highway Patrol, along with other emergency crews, are responding to an injury accident on Highway 101, just south of Salinas.
The crash was reported at 6:45 Thursday evening near Airport Boulevard. One woman was trapped inside her vehicle after it flipped, landing along the northbound median.
A CALSTAR helicopter was reportedly called in to transfer the woman to a Bay Area hospital for treatment. She was complaining of back pain, although the extent of her injuries are not known.
Despite the car stopping on the northbound side, the accident caused a major traffic back-up for southbound traffic, as emergency crews stopped in those lanes.
It does not appear alcohol is a factor in the crash, say officers.
California Highway Patrol is investigating.

We got a call from an older lady yesterday saying she had a comb growing on a tree on her fenceline. She assured us that they were bees and she was worried that they would just freeze come winter and wanted to make sure they were safe.
When we got there, this sad little comb was hanging in the tree with about 30 bees. No honey, no pollen, just this sad, dwindling thing growing off the limb.
We spent more time talking with her about bees than we did in taking this poor comb down.
She has agreed to let me place a swarm trap in the spring.

Advanced Technologies Unveil Home's Hidden Treasures
Find out how Advanced Technologies decked out a luxury home with a home automation solution integrated with a security system and other household items.
By Scott Goldfine · July 14, 2014
Thanks to advances in home automation and a rebounding housing market, residential security-based systems have been undergoing a renaissance. To vividly demonstrate the heights of what can be achieved today from both features and aesthetics standpoints, Baton Rouge, La.-based Advanced Technologies decked out the owner of Blair Construction's luxury home. The sophisticated security solution — which serves as a showcase for both the integrator's and builder's companies as well as accommodates the client family's comfortable lifestyle — is marked by innovative detection, voice alerts, communications, automation and environmental controls.
"The client/builder requested home automation that integrated the security system, gas fireplaces, CCTV, indoor and outdoor electronics, dedicated home theater, distributed audio, thermostats, lighting, powered window treatments, and powered décor," says Advanced Technologies President Thomas Marino. "Finding systems and controls that could work together smoothly, and impress prospective clients was our chief assignment."
Fine Attention to Detail
All systems are interconnected at two control panels located in the main control room under the stairs. Color-coordinated Velcro, heat shrink tape and Cat-6 boots were used so all wires are neat. Outdoor intrusion detection includes driveway/doorbell sensors, and the system also integrates control of the thermostats and fireplaces. All statuses are accessible from phones, smartphones, tablets, and remote controls.
The integrator began the project with whole-house surge suppression, an outdoor grounding ring, and a conductive floor in the main control room under the stairs, where all the electronic systems interconnect at two OnQ control panels. Also located in this control room are the home's four surround-sound system sources, using an HD modulator and distributed audio. Security zone violations, indoors or outdoors, are announced over the speakers. Tripping the outdoor motion detector triggers the announcement: "You have been detected. Leave immediately."
RELATED: Atronic Alarms Awarded as Resident Expert
Lighting is programmed to come on in halls and stairways when motion or step (flex) sensors are triggered, so there is no stumbling in the dark. The thermostat's set points are programmed to correspond to various security statuses, as well as specific family preferences when security is disarmed.
Great Room Greatness
The most visible area of the home, its great room, received extra-special treatment from the integrator. Upon initial glance, only furnishings, a fireplace with a large painting above and huge windows overlooking the courtyard are seen. A few clicks on a touchscreen summons roller shades to come down, windows to darken the room and the painting to roll aside, revealing a large flat-screen HD display and surround-sound. Discreet speakers are located in the ceiling and the center channel was installed in the drywall above the mantle.
"The installed equipment doesn't detract from the aesthetic qualities of the house; the sensors are either hidden in the home's framework or, if out in open, painted to blend in seamlessly. No visible electronics call for unwelcome attention," adds Marino. "To any visitor, this home appears a well-appointed and comfortable residence. But while walking through, people quickly notice how the house anticipates their needs and wants. And what is not anticipated is available with a click on a touchscreen."
Following many days running and securing wires and cabling, Advanced Technologies combed through and categorized them. While the wires were being terminated at the panels, they were cut to length, organized and grouped. Rather than hiding the connections behind solid doors, the integrator put on modern, smoked-glass panel doors so inside the neatly organized panels were visible. Sharing the main control room is an integration wall and the rack of audio equipment, which is also artfully terminated.
The client, Chip Blair, is thrilled with the results: "Aside from [Marino] being one of the only people who can program a system to do more than it is designed to do, he takes great care in making sure the installation is extremely neat. It looks like a work of art when he is finished not a jumbled mess. The house impresses everyone who sees it."

I have lost all respect for my husband +update
- 201 Replies
/ end vent
Update: I went to target and got: St. John's wort, vitamin C, fish oil, men's one a day as well as melatonin. I also got some Epsom salt, a head massager and a back massager. Hopefully these, in addition to better diet exercise and communication, will help get him out of this funk.
Did you not know who/what he was when you married him?
Either accept him as he is, or don't (and leave him). You can't change him.
Maybe he hates his job and is heading towards depression. I mean, did he really want to grow up and manage a sandwich shop?
Does he have depression? I know if I hated my job and had little support at home I wouldn't be a fun person to be around.
Marriage is not a competition of who has it hardest....
Have you actually sat down and spoken with your husband about how you feel? If you speak with him non-defensively ( difficult, I know) you might make him understand how you feel.
" I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phillipians 4:13

As a new mom you deserve extra care and support – for you and your new baby.Taking a few minutes each day to look after your own needs and take a break from being a mother can reduce your stress levels and recharge your batteries.
Remember, taking care of your child also means taking good care of yourself.
What you can do if you feel depressed or anxious:
Tell someone you trust how you feel.
Ask your health care provider for help and resources.
Ask friends and family for help so you can take breaks.
When people offer help, accept it.
Get exercise and fresh air; go outside for at least a few minutes every day.
Eat well; avoid caffeine, sugar, and alcohol.
Make sleep a priority; if you aren't sleeping, don't wait until your next appointment to ask for help.
Talk to women who have recovered.

text: Was in the hive this weekend. As this was my first winter, I left all the honey for the bees. Well as it turns out it looks like they are going to have plenty to take them through till spring. So I harvested (1) frame just to see what my honey taste like. I couldn't resit as I have been wanting some since August last year. i don't own an extractor I plan to use the one that belong's to our local club should a large crop be produced. But I scraped this fram down to the foundation, and strained it all through a colander the first time. Then I strained it through cheescloth into a glass coffee pot. I have about six cups of honey as a result of this process. It was great fun form me and my almost 4 yr. old daughter. Beekeeping has been a great hobby for us, she helps with everything including checking the hives. Anyways I would like to hear experinces of other squeezers, pressers, and hand extractors. I didn't think it was that bad or tiresome of a project of course I only did one frame. can one give the wax back to the hive - will the bees reuse the wax?

A beer keg makes a great melter and can easily be constructed with a few parts and a TIG welder and plasma cutter. Take a look and see for yourself it works wonderfully and the drains are properly spaced to allow for scum drainage and wax removal.20130222_113907.jpg20130222_113927.jpg

text: Have you finished preparing for your ACE exam? You are now feeling confident and ready to schedule the big date, but after you log into your ACE account and enter your zip code, that testing site you once saw in your area is no longer showing future dates. Where did that site go? Don't panic! ACE has over 500 computer based testing sites throughout the US and Canada. Fortunately, the majority of sites offered by ACE are able to show their available dates on the ACE website as soon as 10 days out and many sites are even able to continue showing dates as far out as to 90 days. Wondering why you aren't seeing your site then? Well, ACE does have some sites that may not be able to keep regular dates posted during the busy times, but rest assured that most of these sites are still active ACE testing sites and seats can be requested! How do I find one of these "hidden" sites?Good question! The sites aren't actually hidden — they just appear to be. The ACE Exam Registration Department can assist you in registering for a seat at a site for which you no longer see posted dates on the ACE website. Just remember: Before you make the call or send that e-mail, please be sure you have completed your CPR/AED course and that your CPR/AED is not scheduled to expire prior to the exam date. My CPR/AED class is scheduled. Can you still request my date?You must complete your course before contacting Exam Registration to request your seat. ACE is not able to request or book your exam date if you only have a CPR date scheduled, but haven't actually yet completed the course. You never know when a class might get cancelled or if you might get sick and are unable to attend. Having your CPR/AED training already completed prior to registration ensures that you meet the eligibility requirements to become an ACE Certified Professional Who do I contact?For assistance, please e-mail Exam Registration or call 1-800-825-3636 ext. 783 Monday – Friday 8am – 5pm PST. If you are sending us an e-mail, please let us know the name of the site or city and if possible, it always helps to get 3 specific dates that would work for you. Providing an AM or PM testing time preference will also allow us to make sure we do our best to accommodate your testing needs. How long will this take?The ACE Exam Registration Department will start working on your request the same day you contact us. In many cases, you may even receive an answer back within a few hours! Some sites may take a bit longer to respond to our inquiry, but don't worry, you will be contacted as soon as ACE is able to provide you with information regarding your request. What will I need once I am contacted?In these cases, a special seat has been added just for you! If you are not paying with a pre-paid exam voucher, please be ready to give your ACE representative a credit card and CPR/AED details to complete your registration! Keep in mind that the ACE Exam Registration Department may also be able to assist with requesting a seat beyond what is currently posted at a preferred site within 90 days. Just give us a call or send an e-mail keeping in mind that these requests should only be made only when seats are very limited.

Clarence Lee Shaffer
Shaffer was a part of the Brandy Gang during the 1930s. The gang has been attributed the statement that they "would make Dillinger look like a piker." The members committed 150 neighborhood holdups and robberies and at least one and possibly two murders in a short period of time. Shaffer was killed while resisting FBI arrest.
Alvin "Creepy" Karpis
Karpis was one of the most wanted men in the United States -- and one of the smartest of the Depression-era gangsters, according to the FBI. Following a jail-break in 1930, Karpis began his criminal career in earnest, working with other habitual criminals to begin a string of bank robberies, auto thefts, kidnappings and murder for ransom incidents. They made hundreds of thousands of dollars. He was captured in 1935 by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, close by to relish in the elusive catch.
Al Capone
Capone built a fearsome reputation in ruthless gang rivalries as leader of the Capone mob in Chicago during prohibition. As his gang grew, rival gangs were eliminated or nullified, and a Illinois suburb was taken over by the Capone mob. He would later plead guilty to tax evasion and prohibition charges.
Alfred Brady
Between 1935 and 1936, Brady and his group of desperadoes are believed to have committed 150 holdups and robberies and possibly two murders. They were shot and killed in a dramatic gun battle by FBI agents in Maine the following year.
Roger "The Terrible" Touhy's Gang
Touhy and two of his partners were convicted in 1934 and sentenced to 99 years in prison for the kidnapping John "Jake the Barber" Factor and holding him for ransom.
Lester M. Gillis
By the age of 14, Gillis was a well-versed car thief, according to the FBI. "Baby Face" Nelson, as he would later be known as, had a criminal career that included stealing tires, running stills, bootlegging and armed robbery -- but that was just the beginning. He would later join forces with John Paul Chase, and together they joined the Dillinger gang. Nelson would later be implicated with murders and bank robberies.
John Paul Chase
Chase became associated with a liquor smuggling operation that had underworld connections. He later joined the Dillinger gang and in 1935 found guilty of murdering Inspector Samuel P. Cowley. He was paroled in 1966 and spent the rest of his life in California.
John Gotti
According to the FBI, John Gotti was a violent, ruthless and elusive mobster on the streets of New York. In the 1980s, the FBI used wiretaps, informants and undercover agents to build a strong case against Gotti, who was on a criminal revolving door, in and out of prison. When mob violence spilled out on the streets of Manhattan in 1985, the FBI got a break into the investigation when it learned that Gotti had ordered the killing of a mob boss successor in front of a restaurant. But it wasn't until 1990 that Gotti was arrested on multiple counts of racketeering, extortion, jury tampering and other crimes.
Helen Gillis
Gillis met her husband, "Baby Face" Nelson, about a month after being released on parole. She eventually joined the Dillinger gang, and join Nelson in many of his exploits, according to the FBI.
George "Machine Gun" Kelly
Kelly was deeply involved in a life of crime and was known for being armed with a machine gun, and even gave himself the nickname that he became to be known as. "Machine Gun" Kelly focused on running illegal alcohol and also bank robbery before his big hit: Kidnapping Charles Urschel, a wealthy oil magnate in 1933. Urschel's family paid a hefty ransom. Over the next few months, Kelly was finally tracked down.
Frank Nash
Nash was sentenced to life in prison in 1913 on murder charges, but was later pardoned. Several years later, he was sentenced to a 25-year term for assaulting a mail custodian and then escaped. The FBI launched an extensive search for Nash and its investigation revealed that Nash had helped others escape prison, as well. Nash was later killed by gunfire unleashed by hoodlums.
John Dillinger
Dillinger was one of the most-known outlaws during the Depression era. Dillinger, whose name once dominated the headlines, was a notorious and vicious thief, according to the FBI. In a violent spree spanning about 10 month, Dillinger and his violent gang terrorized the Midwest, killing 10 men, wounding seven and robbing banks and police arsenals. His spree would continue and finally ended when he was hunted down and killed outside a theater during a stakeout.

Excel Solver Help
This web eBook provides Help for the basic Solver included with Excel 2010, Excel 2013 and Excel 2016 for Windows and Excel 2011 for Mac, and for the Solver add-in available for Excel Online in Office 365, SharePoint and Excel on iPad.
In Excel, Solver is part of a suite of commands sometimes called what-if analysis tools. With Solver, you can find an optimal (maximum or minimum) value for a formula in one cell — called the objective cell — subject to constraints, or limits, on the values of other formula cells on a worksheet. Solver works with a group of cells — called decision variable cells — that participate in computing the formulas in the objective and constraint cells. Solver adjusts the values in the decision variable cells to satisfy the limits on constraint cells and produce the result you want for the objective cell.
The objective, constraint and decision variable cells and the formulas interrelating them form a Solver model; the final values found by Solver are a solution for this model. Solver uses a variety of methods, from linear programming and nonlinear optimization to genetic and evolutionary algorithms, to find solutions.

I think Kenny Vaccaro is the TOP defensive player talent wise in this draft. Yeah I know, who cares what I think lol. The Giants need a playmaker in the secondary, a true ball hawk safety. I don't think Stevie Brown is the answer, and Rolle now plays in the box.
The Dolphins will trade that 12 pick. If Vaccaro is still there at 12, trade up and take him! He is a ball hawk, great skills, great work ethic, and they say he's a great charchter guy.
I also love Mississippi State CB Darius Slay in the 2nd Rd.
The Giants defense looked a little on the slow side last year. Lets get some young explosive talent in our secondary to lineup against RG3, Romo, Vick, Dez Bryant, DeSean Jackson etc.
I'm sure I'm way off, but you never know. That's what's cool about the draft.

Health Beat: Beyond the fold: Autism linked to abnormal placentas?
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Here's a frightening statistic: One in every 50 school children in the United States will be diagnosed with autism. Unfortunately, it can take doctors years to identify the disorder, delaying much-needed treatment, but a new research may help doctors predict a child's risk of developing autism at birth.
Skiing alongside 12-year-old Jaya Dominici, you wouldn't know that she's severely autistic unless you try to talk to her. Maria Dominici suspected her daughter was autistic at 18 months, but she wasn't diagnosed until three.
"It was really like a baseball bat right to the head, because you know it's going to be forever," Dominici said.
Early detection is critical because "the brain is completely unformed at birth. We can change behaviors very early," said Dr. Harvey J. Kliman, a research scientist in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the Yale University School of Medicine.
A new study examining the placenta, the organ that provides nutrients to the baby from the mother, may help doctors diagnose autism shortly after birth. Researchers analyzed placentas from 217 births and found that in families at high genetic risk for having an autistic child, there were more of these abnormal folds and creases.
Researchers won't know how many children, whose placentas were studied, will have autism for at least another year, but for Maria, it would have helped me to get earlier intervention," Dominici said.
The study is a joint effort by researchers at Yale University's school of medicine and the University of California at Davis. Kliman said the test will be available in the next few months.
You may also be interested in learning that boys are four- to-five times more likely to have autism than girls.

Good Non-crowded places to view fireworks
Original post made by lbhu, Shoreline West, on Jul 4, 2008
Anyone know of any good -- not crazy-traffic-crowded -- places to go with a family to view shoreline fireworks? We have small kids and grandparents who wouldn't want to camp out all day for a decent spot. And we really don't have the patience to wait in traffic for 1-2 hours to get out once they are over. It could be an open field or street with a clear view. But somewhere we can get in and out easily -- and see some fireworks. BTW - it doesn't have to be shoreline fireworks, just any fireworks. Thanks and happy 4th!

A wooden ball that goes on the side of the Jet Pack's thruster things!
Nice job! I may just put a few balls in the laser
Nice work man. I've not been looking forward to doing these. I'll probably go the same route you have though.
thruster ball. looks nice!
Nice job.....:thumbup Dremel or CNC ?
You guys doing these scratch built jet packs have given me an idea.....make an oversized one an use it for a computer case.
Excellent work,
I'm so smart, you're Homestar Runner!
A little Dremel...a little drill press...a little sandpaper...a lot of handcarving!!!psberetta said:
The little slots are hand carved as well as the depressions on the edges of the ball. Still a lot of work to do.
I plan on just doing one of these and then making a mold of it because I can't really stomach the thought of carving another one!
Jimmy BufFETT said:
When I get to this stage, Imma use a wax ball and make a mold of that, is there the same detail on both sides of the ball?
drokkul said:
Thanks for the info, don't blame ya for wanting to make a mold
Looks awesome.
From what I can tell by sifting through the picture archive it looks like its on just one side.zombierepellent said:

French Tea Towels
...thought it would look divine on my towels. I printed the image onto to some transfer paper and simply ironed them on. Still, I felt like they could use a little something extra so I went to my fabric drawer and thought vintage lace would do the trick.
I'm also thinking they'd look beautiful with ruffle bottoms, but since I haven't quite mastered making ruffles yet, the lace will do.
Wine and spirits have never looked so good!

I think you can tell from my photos that, yes, it's another rainy, dreary day in NY. I'm getting a little frustrated being stuck in the house - especially when I have a ton of projects planned that need spray paint. Sigh! Still, I did manage to whip up this petite Marie Antoinette pillow before the weather put me in a funk.
I hand-stamped the French script and Eiffel Tower postmark first using black ink. Then I used my Marie stamp to use over the French script.
You know the rest: sew, stuff and done! Right now I have her peeking out of a basket filled with book stacks in the livingroom. I'm sure she'll be moved around 100 times until I find the perfect spot.
Hoping for blue skies tomorrow!

- Daily Breakfast
- A $100 Spa Credit and a $150 Resort Credit
- 50% Off a Pearl Harbor/Circle Island Deluxe Tour for Two with Roberts Hawaii
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Six Nights
The Destination
Made famous by the beach-blanket blockbusters of the 1950s, Waikiki still captures our imagination as the classic paradise. But the 2.5-mile stretch of beach has changed with the times to reflect a more contemporary approach to the island getaway, one where volleyball gives way to cliff diving and where mai thais are served under posh neon lights instead of tiki torches. Indeed, the popular beach town is now awash in 21st century sophistication—but it still maintains its unparalleled natural beauty where turquoise-blue waves lap at the base of Diamond Head and the banyan trees waft in the wind.
The Digs
The swankiest way to get your slice of the Big Pineapple is at The Modern Honolulu, a cosmopolitan lifestyle hotel that offers a hip taste of Hawaii all rolled into a sleek and sophisticated space. The lounge-inspired lobby and chic guest rooms are minimalist and modern with clean lines, crisp linens, and recessed lighting. Flat-screen TVs, spa-like bathrooms, and private lanais create a sanctuary of upscale indulgence. Slip down to the adult pool surrounded by 100 tons of sand for a beachy paradise, then grab a signature cold cocktail at the popular Lobby Bar—your epic Hawaiian stay has just begun.
The Diversions
• Sample the celebrity-made sushi at the hotel's signature restaurant, Morimoto Waikiki
• Indulge in some serious retail therapy at the Royal Hawaiian Center, boasting more than 110 shops
• Take your adventure to the extreme with adventures including cliff diving, skydiving, and more
• Spot the local wildlife at the Waikiki Aquarium and the Honolulu Zoo
• Soak-up some history at the Pearl Harbor & Circle Island Tour and visit the sunken USS Arizona
"Gen Xers will immediately feel at home in this edgy hotel with an eye to slick design. The lobby has the feel of an upscale jazz club, with recessed lighting and bookcases. The guest rooms and suites are equally swanky..."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Modern Honolulu

"They have taken the bridge and the second hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes, drums… drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow lurks in the dark. We can not get out… they are coming."
In my efforts to slowly but surely brainwash my nephew into being a geek, I've gradually been introducing him to Tolkien.
First, I gave him a copy of The Hobbit. Then I let him watch the first of the Lord of the Rings movies. I even agreed to watch with him the Rankin-Bass cartoon of The Hobbit. (It's not as bad as I remembered. Peter Jackson could learn a thing or two about brevity from that adaptation.)
Then, for his latest birthday, his 10th, after clearing it with his parents, I went deep into the mines. I made him search for his presents, via a riddle game/scavenger hunt inspired by Bilbo and Gollum. My nephew had to solve one clue, which led him to the next clue, which led him to the next, which finally led him to his birthday prize: a fancy, illustrated hardcover edition of The Hobbit, and a Lego Mines of Moria set. A geek he is becoming. Continue Reading "Speak 'Friend' and Eat It: Making a Lord of the Rings Mines of Moria Birthday Cake" »

On April 11, Nick and Christina Markakis were recognized by the Boys and Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore for their community service at their second annual "Be Great Champions for Youth" Gala.

Nick and Christina donated 21 winter coats for deserving youth the Boys and Girls Club in December 2012.
Dan Duquette helped recognize first baseman Chris Davis for his April American League Player of the Month award in a special on-field ceremony. In April, Chris Davis batted .348 with eight doubles, nine home runs, 28 RBI, 19 runs scored and 16 walks in 27 games to claim his first career AL Player of the Month award. In recognition of Davis' performance, the Orioles donated $2,500 to Luke's Wings, a non-profit military organization dedicated to the support of current and former service members who have been wounded in battle. Luke's Wings provides families with the means to visit injured service members during their hospitalization and rehabilitation.
On July 30, Nate McLouth was recognized prior to the game against the Houston Astros as the Orioles' winner of the 2013 Heart and Hustle Award. Selected by a committee of Orioles alumni organized by the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association, McLouth was honored as the current Orioles player who most demonstrates a passion for the game of baseball and best embodies the values, spirit and tradition of the game. The Heart and Hustle Award is the only award in Major League Baseball that is voted on by former players.
Major League Baseball announced that Adam Jones was named the Orioles' 2013 nominee for the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award. The Orioles presented Adam Jones with the Roberto Clemente Award on September 24 in an on-field ceremony prior to their game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Jones was one of the 30 Club finalists for the annual award, which recognizes a Major League Baseball player who best represents the game of baseball through positive contributions on and off the field, including sportsmanship and community involvement. The Roberto Clemente Award presented by Chevrolet pays tribute to Clemente's achievements and character by recognizing current players who truly understand the value of helping others.
On September 28, the Baltimore Sun and the family of Tim Wheatley presented Nick Markakis with the Tim Wheatley Award. Almost four years ago, Baltimore Sun editor Wheatley was killed in a car accident while taking his daughter, who miraculously survived, to school. In honor of Tim and his tremendous efforts within the community, the Baltimore Sun created the Tim Wheatley Award, recognizing local professional athletes who give back to the community. Markakis was recognized for his numerous contributions to the community, including his work with his family's charity, The Right Side Foundation, which serves underprivileged youth. Nick has also donated $75,000 to the Orioles Charitable Foundation and donates $5,000 a year to the OriolesREACH Game Day Experience Program and $2,500 annually to the Orioles Military Sunday Suite Program. Nick and Christina also partnered with OriolesREACH to serve as race ambassadors for a Casey Cares 5K event at Oriole Park.
The Oriole Advocates, with the cooperation and support of the Baltimore Orioles, created The Oriole Way Award to recognize an Oriole player who has made significant contributions both on and off the field and who demonstrates a sincere willingness and desire to serve the community. The award is presented annually to a Baltimore Orioles player whose active participation in the community embraces the Oriole Advocates' mission of promoting and stimulating interest in baseball. The 2013 winner was center fielder Adam Jones, who was honored in an on-field ceremony prior to the Orioles game against the Toronto Blue Jays on September 25.
Jones was recognized for his contributions to community initiatives, including the Boys and Girls Club of Metropolitan Baltimore. He also provided bats and catchers gear to 30 teams in the Baltimore Orioles' Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program. He is also personally supporting a Jackie Robinson Foundation scholar, Alanah Grisham. Through this grant, Alanah will receive four years of college tuition.
In addition to his financial generosity, Jones has continued his relationship with the Boys and Girls Club, hosting them at clinics and other special events. Each year since arriving in Baltimore Adam has donated $5,000 a year to the OriolesREACH Ticket and Gameday Experience Program. Additionally, Jones served as Honorary Chair for the Y's 2013 Send a Kid to Camp campaign.
