I wanted to read The Twenty-Seventh City by Jonathon Franzen for a while. I wanted to read Franzen because I felt inadequate being a Person Who Talks Books and not having read any his work. I'd settled on The Twenty-Seventh City because it is about St. Louis. I'm from St. Louis, a city I think of fondly, although it has terrible self-esteem. Unless, of course, we're talking baseball. Watch out, Boston.
The Twenty-Seventh City does not paint the most savory picture of St. Louis, nor does it paint a sweet one. In it, St. Louis City and St. Louis County are at odds. Some people want them to incorporate, others don't. Money and power are thrown about in this battle on the urban playground. Mysterious events are at hand. Why did a young woman from India get hired as Chief of Police? Who is buying up all the city's land and razing old property on the north side? As the book progresses, so does the violence and sex. Violence and sex really do make the literary world go round. Violent sex even more so. Cue Fifty Shades of Grey. Which The Book Cook will not be covering for a variety of reasons. Despite my love of sexy food.
The new Indian police chief, a young woman by the name of S. Jammu, is indeed up to some elaborate schemes. One of these consists of putting prominent St. Louisans into what she calls "The State". "The State" is an emotional state of imbalance. It is caused by preying on the personal weaknesses of Jammu's unwitting victims. Once in "The State" they can be coerced into doing things they might otherwise not. I am fairly certain that "The State" is what I experience after dealing with the Trader Joe's parking lot. Suddenly, buying cookie butter and sub-par produce makes so much sense.
One of Jammu's chief problems in The Twenty-Seventh City, the man The Chief cannot seem to conquer, is Martin Probst. Martin is a prominent society member and contractor. Man versus woman. St. Louis versus India. I was not sure who I wanted to root for. Should I join Team Jammu or Team Martin? Should I join a team at all? Both characters had qualities that REALLY made me want to, oh, honor them. Although some of these traits were not the most honorable things, such as Jammu's ability to turn off all emotion and get the job done. Being a robot of destruction is on my bucket list.
Perhaps the indecision I experienced is the sign of a book well-written. It lives in a gray area. It is entirely possible Franzen is not asking us to pick sides. If you want a more in-depth exploration of this book, there is an excellent essay written by The Facades author Eric Lundgren (remember that one?) on The Twenty-Seventh City here. Meanwhile, I must pick a team for this week and move on to food.
I decided this week was in honor of Team Martin and would have St. Louis-oriented cuisine. Next week will be Team Jammu and another recipe in honor of her Indian heritage.
There are a good deal of St. Louis foods I could wax poetic on: gooey butter cake, toasted ravioli (T-Ravs), Imo's pizza (omg provel cheese-I'm a hater), BBQ, Budweiser Ted Drewes Frozen Custard (get a concrete!) and Crown Candy Kitchen. And then there are the things you can only get in St. Louis that I miss most in LA: coffee from Meshuggah, White Castle (I only miss that at 3am) and Steak n' Shake, which I only should miss at 3am but I miss always.

Bolts' Drouin seemed destined for stardom
Coach Jon Cooper (left) and the Lightning are eager to see what Jonathan Drouin can do in a Bolts jersey. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Erik Erlendsson | Tribune Staff
July 2, 2013
July 2, 2013 at 05:58 AM
NEWARK, N.J. - A preteen Jonathan Drouin skated onto the ice one summer at a small arena outside Montreal, wanting to play with the big kids from the Lac St. Louis Lions, the local AAA Midget team.
Alex Killorn, like most teenagers, raised an eyebrow at the sight.
"Even though it was just summer hockey, we looked at him like, 'Who was this kid?' '' Killorn recalled recently of the first time he met Drouin, the Lightning's first-round pick in Sunday's NHL entry draft.
It didn't take long for the wannabe hockey player to draw the attention of Killorn and his friends.
In those summer pickup games, Drouin skated with ease around players four years older. The young phenom would dangle the puck on his stick and weave up the ice, looking nothing like an underclassman. It wasn't a fluke.
Whatever initiation process Drouin was subjected to, he passed and simply became one of the guys.
"He proved himself pretty quickly," said Killorn, 23, a 2007 third-round draft pick of the Lightning who just completed his rookie year with Tampa Bay. "He was confident when he played and he didn't care. He was so skilled he would go through guys, so we treated him as one of us."
There were many times Drouin spent the morning skating with his age group, then came right back and skated with the older group. As each summer came around, Killorn noticed Drouin's steady improvements.
Then came last year.
"He always had good hands and stuff, but you never know when they're that young how good he can be," Killorn said. "But he kept getting better and better until last summer when I saw him I was like, 'Holy (cow), this kid could go really high in the draft.'
"He's just progressed tremendously."
That accelerated path led Drouin, 18, to the Lightning, who selected the 5-foot-11, 190-pound winger with the third pick.
Heading into last season, Drouin was considered a fringe first-round pick, likely targeted for the early second round. But his improvement from his rookie season in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League as a midseason call-up with Halifax to the end of his first full season with the Moose shot him up the draft boards.
In strong showings at the Team Canada camp for the Under-18 championship and the World Junior U-20 camp, Drouin's skill set stood out. He ended the season as the MVP of the QMJHL regular season and playoffs and helped Halifax win the Memorial Cup championship. He was the first draft-eligible player since Sidney Crosby to be named the top player in the CHL, which spans all three major junior hockey leagues.
The turnaround came from within.
"My confidence," Drouin said of his rise up the rankings. "When I came in this year, I had a really good start to the season early on. Then the World Juniors really helped. A 17-year-old making that team is pretty rare. And I think my game really stepped up when I came back in January. And it went on to be that way in the playoffs."
The Lightning's second-round pick Sunday, forward Adam Erne, faced off against Drouin many times when Quebec faced Halifax the past two seasons. Drouin is a handful to try to defend, he said.
"We've had our battles," Erne said. "He's got great vision, great hands, just a great overall player. You just watch his highlights and you can see, he's a pretty incredible guy."
That was noticeable, even at an early age, and has only increased as Drouin became older.
"He's probably ready to step up and make an impact just because of his skill," Killorn said. "He knows how to use his body. He's not the biggest player, but he knows how to use his frame. He's really strong on his feet and I think the way he has trained the last few years has helped him out.
"He'll be a great player in the NHL for sure."

Tackling the Toughest Cases: Desperately Poor and Mentally Ill
Mental Health Innovation: BasicNeeds
Who: Charlotte Perry Dougherty, executive director of BasicNeeds U.S. Founded in 1999, BasicNeeds is an international charity that provides mental health services to people in the poorest nations in the world.
Why It's Innovative: When it comes to supporting really poor countries, the vast majority of organizations focus on physical—not mental—health. To make matters worse, in many of these places mental illness is shrouded in stigma and there are almost no local services. BasicNeeds' unique model addresses poverty as well as the illness. They might, for example, help someone find a job or develop skills. The group does all their work within the framework of each culture, so workers are careful to respect local customs, such as the work of traditional healers.
A New Blood Test for Depression Proves It's Not All In Your Head
"Our mission is to help people with mental illness and epilepsy live and work in their own community and have the opportunity to have strong and healthy lives," Dougherty says. "I think what distinguishes what we do is that it's community-based and it's holistic. Community-based means going to the people who need the services. We start in the community and talk to people. That allows us to work on the social and economic side as well as the medical side.
"One aspect of that is working with whoever may be [treating] people with mental illness. In many cases, it's traditional healers because the primary care system and the public health systems don't do mental illness. Often the cultural belief is that the person is possessed by evil spirits. Part of our outreach is talking to traditional healers about what kinds of situations they see, what their patients are experiencing, how they're treated. We believe it's perfectly logical to believe there are evil spirits in your body but that there are medical aspects of the illness that can be treated medically. A medical approach can benefit these people who are suffering. BasicNeeds is bringing medical treatment to places that have none and in places where there isn't even a recognized need for it. The innovation is raising awareness and getting people to understand the nature of mental illness."
Sneak Peek: Psychiatry's 'Bible' Is Updated After Nearly 20 Years
The Problem That Keeps Her Up at Night: "Funding is what keeps everyone up at night in this field. But that's related to the issue of stigma associated with mental illness. That's a problem everywhere, not just in the developing countries. In the places we work it's paired with a lack of understanding of mental illness, and the result can be human rights abuses. We can come a long way in addressing the lack of understanding of mental illness."
How You Can Take Action: Overcoming stigma starts with every person being open and honest about mental illness, Dougherty says. "Talk about personal stories—what experience you've had or that family members have had, things you've seen and heard. We're finding more and more that what helps is the ability to talk openly about these things and that family and community support is critical in recovery. Without that, people are isolated and feel unworthy, and that just adds to the problem."
More Encouraging News About Mental Health: "I'm beginning to see change in terms of willingness and openness to talk about mental illness. It's exciting to see that because I think that involving people who have lived the experience in the treatments of others can be really helpful. It's the peer treatment model. It's the core of what we're doing in BasicNeeds with self-help groups. We involve caregivers as well as patients so there is peer support among families. It's just very motivating for people to hear positive stories and feel like there's hope or hear negative stories and feel like they're not alone."
Do you think treatment for mental illness would improve if it was less stigmatized?

Chapter1 (v.1) - The Begining of the End of the Circle
It was dark and cold as I stood upon the top of the bridge looking down at my city. I call it mine cause someone has to claim it and take control of it. I could see everything from were I was, it's an amazing feeling watching all of the happiness and safty of my city from above like no-one else can. Power can only take you as far as you let it, let alone make it. It's not the strength of the power, it's the strength of the beholder. These are a few of the many things I've learnt over the past year or so. I remember how it all started like it was yesturday...
I could here the fighting and screaming no matter how mutch I turned my radio up. "You fucking ungrateful whore! Piece of shit women, go get my fucking god damn beer!" And all I heard as a reply was crying. I knew my mom was lying on the floor bawling as her newest dirtbag boyfriend drank and yelled and he had probably hit her a few times. I turned my music up even louder hoping the drum solo would calm my nerves. I felt the heat in my face and knew it wasnt going away. I reached behind my bedroom door and grabed my wooden baseball bat... I gripped it as tight as I possibly could. I had to act while I still felt the anger that gave me the balls to do this. I swung my door open as hard as I could. I stepped into the dark loud room, I saw him standing above her.
"Hey," my weak voice cracked. I knew he couldnt hear me. "I said hey!" I yelled a little louder feeling brave as I gripped the bat behind my back. The large man stood straight and turned towards me with his hand still raised to my mother.
"What?" his voice boomed, sending spit every were.
"Back the fuck off her..!" I squeaked.
"Look at the 5 foot, hundred pound, scrawny kid trying be a man. How old are you, ya little shit, 12?" he laughed at his own joke. I knew he was right, I was way too small to be standing up to him.im only 16 and standing up to a full grown drunk ass whole regardlessly i wasnt backing down. "look fuckstick i said chill the fuck out

text: I have two dogs. Sophie is 6 years old and Annabell is 1 1/2 years old. Well yesterday I learned that Sophie has SARDS and is blind. Annabell shows no mercy. Her puppy self attacks Sophie all the time, especially in the face. I don't know how to teach/train Annabell that thats not okay. I know that she just wants to play, but Sophie literally can't defend herself now. I was thinking that, along with training, I would get another dog that way Annabell could be distracted from Sophie and she can have her own playmate. Maybe that's just a crazy idea, but I just don't know what to do. I want Sophie to live the rest of her life in peace. She is confused now that shes blind and it doesn't help when she is randomly attacked. Also Annabell does have a bell on her collar, but it still doesn't really help that much. What can I do?

BT drives for Sustainable Innovation in Automotive Manufacturing and Urban Mobility
DC16-284 (29 June 2016)
BT and Frost & Sullivan research finds huge sustainability benefits from new urban mobility models with potential emission savings of 56 megatonnes CO2 per year
New concepts in personal transport built on digital technologies could reduce the amount of cars needed on urban roads globally by up to 20 million vehicles per year in 2025, offering huge sustainability benefits and an improved experience for travellers. These are some of the key findings of new research published today by BT and Frost & Sullivan.
The research, "Environmentally Sustainable Innovation in Automotive Manufacturing and Urban Mobility", suggests that consumer trends towards 'on demand' access rather than product ownership is prompting car manufacturers to consider ride-on-demand business models. When combined with the integration of smart vehicles and smart roads and cities, all connected, these business models will lead to fewer and more efficient journeys, reducing journeys in private cars overall by 360 billion kilometres per year within the next decade.
These developments stand to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 56 megatonnes per year in 2025. That is an amount equivalent to more than half the yearly emissions from transport in the UK. A further reduction of 121 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions could be achieved by automotive companies due to the reduction of the global car output by 20 million vehicles per year.
By introducing sustainable production methods, including lightweight materials, expanding the use of remanufactured parts and better integrated supply chains, the embodied carbon impact could be reduced by another 89 megatonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2025.
The research suggests that this new era of mobility business models has a user-centric, service-led approach to delivery and is leading to a potential shift away from car ownership to the use of mobility services in several cases. Through smartphone-based on-demand solutions, connected parking solutions, and integrated mobility services, technology is playing a critical role in carving out new urban mobility solutions that are rapidly moving from niche to mainstream transportation options. These new personal mobility services all require highly connected IT solutions with access to real-time data.
- According to the study, smart parking solutions, using a connected infrastructure of sensors that draws on numerous data sources in real time to allow the most efficient routes to vacant parking spaces to be calculated, could deliver £49 billion in productivity and fuel savings and reduce yearly carbon emissions by 23 megatonnes in 2025.
- Ridesharing platforms that facilitate spontaneous use of spare capacities in private cars could bring a reduction of 40 billion kilometres travelled, which would generate savings of £15 billion for users and reduce carbon emissions by five megatonnes.
- Ride-on-demand models, where users hire cars on a pay-per-minute basis, could remove 10 million vehicles from the road in 2025, eliminating 15 megatonnes of emissions.
These findings show that IoT solutions will transform the entire industry. Traditional car manufacturers are rethinking their business models and will become personal mobility service providers," says Hubertus von Roenne, vice president global industry practices, BT. "BT is ready to help the industry turn digital disruption to its own advantage and enjoy the benefits of a more sustainable future. BT is committed to helping all its customers to live and work more sustainably and more efficiently."
The challenge to car manufacturers isn't limited to reducing pollution. Changing needs and habits of a young, always-on generation increasingly open to using Mobility as a Service (MaaS), and less likely to own a car, pose a challenge to traditional automotive companies. BT, bolstered by the acquisition of the UK's biggest and fastest mobile communications network, EE, recognises the exciting potential and approaches the ongoing digital disruption with great confidence. The company already boasts several case studies supporting both established and new mobility providers, including solutions for smart parking and connected vehicles.
"ICT solutions are enabling service providers to overcome some of the challenges inherent in urban mobility, whilst improving the user experience and encouraging more sustainable travel. New mobility business models can achieve exactly this," says Martyn Briggs, industry principal, Frost & Sullivan.
With technology enabling a new way to approach urban mobility, a paradigm shift from the current 'predict and provide' of transportation to a 'sense and respond' will be introduced, using historical analytics and real-time information to deliver mobility services on-demand.
"The logic of our analysis was to reveal both the potential impacts and benefits of new mobility business models. We quantified the potential reduction in embodied carbon from vehicle manufacturing with the future reduced volume of vehicles required," Briggs continues.

Jindal traveling to Asia to market state
BATON ROUGE - Governor Bobby Jindal announced plans today to travel to Asia in order to market Louisiana as a business partner to the region.
The one-week trip would start Saturday, Jan. 11, and include Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Stephen Moret. Jindal said he plans to visit Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea to meet with 10 different companies, hoping to build and grow partnerships between them and Louisiana.
The governor made the announcement during an address at the Press Club of Baton Rouge about the future of economic development in the state. He said Louisiana's gross domestic product had grown by $36 billion since he took office, and per capita income in the state was at its highest level in more than 80 years.
Jindal said the overseas trip was necessary to secure a stake in foreign business investment, which is expected to increase as the global economic recovery continues.
Continue following WBRZ News 2 will have updates on Jindal's plans tonight.

Today In Politics: Lhota Debuts New, Aggressive Style
Fresh off a strong debate performance, mayoral candidate Joe Lhota is maintaining an aggressive stance and keeping up his attacks on Democrat and front runner Bill de Blasio. On the campaign trail yesterday, Lhota told reporters that he's back, but will this new Lhota be enough to change the race?
New York Observer Political Reporter Jill Colvin said Lhota's first debate debate performance was frustrating to a lot of Republicans who asked why he wasn't fighting back, but things have changed since then.
"He's really become much more focused, hitting Bill de Blasio on his management record and really doubling down on his message that if de Blasio is elected that the city could return to the bad old days of the 1980's of sky high crime," Colvin said. "

How-To Geek
The light year is a measurement of length that equals the distance that light can travel in a vacuum over the course of one year–about 6 trillion miles or almost 10 trillion kilometers. Light years are generally used to measure distances to stars and galaxies, which should explain the reasoning behind the name of Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear character.

Re: For people who DONT check your oil...
Before the engine rebuild, my car was burning 1 qt. every 760 miles. 06 STS V-6. Just returned from Florida with a round trip of 3,300 miles. With 27% oil life left have not used any oil. Did have to replace my front brake pad due to one pad came apart. NAPA gave me a free set of ceramic pads. I had 46,000 on them. Danny

Re: For people who DONT check your oil...
Did he go to a new vendor for the oil change? I was surprised when they told me my 06 STS took 8 quarts of synthetic. Maybe someone thought it only needed 4 qts to fill? I'm about a qt low after 10K, but I have a small drip that I haven't chased down yet.

Re: For people who DONT check your oil...
The 'CLICK HERE FIRST' thread has links to several threads recommending regular 'exercise' of the STS N*. I agree. My car runs great after such treatment. Likewise with extended aggressive driving that includes elevation changes that encourage compression braking.

It's the end of the working week. Called out early in the morning I have been awake continuously since 3 am without sleep. The only thing that is keeping me awake is the fresh air from the cycle to the office and far too many cups of strong coffee. But despite my best efforts its now afternoon and I am flagging. I should go straight home the quickest way but get a silly idea of using Google Plus polls.
I load a photo and put out the question. Do I go home via the usual and quickest route? Or shall I head east which takes me through the village of Salford and down towards the big Amazon warehouse near the M1 motorway (a great route but with a number of undesirable junctions and heavy traffic flow from Cranfield, Amazon, and the M1? Or shall I head west, scything my way through Milton Keynes making best use of the cycle paths before going over the hilly back roads of Great Brickhill, Heath and Reach, and Eggington?
I give thirty minutes for the responses. As it's time to go seventy-five percent of the votes go to the hilly west route. I am not sure how to take this: is it the longer, more scenic route; or, that the world of social media finds it funnier to send me with luggage in tow over the up and down route across country. Too late. Time to go. The web has decided.
Leaving earlier has its benefit of being lighter. The dark nights are drawing in and my usual commute ends in darkness. Lights flashing and camera on I cut through Wavendon and straight on the infamous red ways (cycle paths) of Milton Keynes. Almost immediately I come across a dog walker. I slow. Go wide. She says, "Don't worry about the dog. He'll chase but just keep pedalling fast." And chase he did. And pedal fast I did.
Great Brickhill is the first main hill. I have a love-hate relationship with it. Steep enough to be out of the saddle. Not so steep that you give up. Steep enough to be happy to be over the top. Then into the single-track road to Stockgrove and Heath and Reach beyond.
At Eggington I hit rush hour cow traffic. Cows shepherded to another field by three farmers. The cows take a worrying interest to me. One farmer explains that cows don't like anything new or different… and my flashing front light was probably distracting them. I hide it behind my hand and the cows continue to cross.
Over into Standbridge and I have the choice: up the route 6 through Sewell. Traffic-free but often littered with stones, glass, trees. Or stick to the roads and run the gauntlet of Tottenhoe. I opt for the cycle path for a change. Almost instantly it's the right choice. Strava deer frightened the life out of me as she appears from the right then sprints away in the same direction as me
along the path. That competitive nature kicks in and I follow. Getting faster and faster but never really catching. And as we rise to meet the bridge over the A505 she ducks right to the safety of bushes and long grass (and hopefully not heading to the road and certain flatness).
A video of Strava Deer is on Google+.

text: Yeah, I knew some of the things that were coming but tonight's episode was still SOOOOOO satisfying for me. I was going to go to bed but I need to type up some thoughts so I can get them out of my poor over fried head tonight (Revenge killed me too, LOL). Emma & Neal are pure gold in so many ways (pun not intended but it does work, LOL). I love their chemistry and I REALLY love that Emma laid into Neal for what he did to her. That meeting on the street was insanely awesome/heartbreaking and I loved the little stomp/pouty thing that she did when he wanted to go to the bar (hello there 17 year old Emma, LOL ). Their whole interaction in the bar was amazing too (loved her yanking the swan necklace off when he asked her about it even though that was sad ) and I don't think Neal totally understands how devastated she was over him and how much what he did completely broke her and killed that last little bit of hope she had left. Neal doesn't know that August didn't watch over Emma yet either so I think that will make things a bit different for Neal once he realizes how Emma's life went after she got out of prison. I also loved that he came back to his apartment to protect her from his father. It's so obvious to me that they still care about each other (Emma's reaction to the dreamcatcher in Neal's apartment, his reaction to her swan necklace, him coming back to protect her from his father, them agreeing even through their pain that they don't want to hurt Henry, etc.) but I think it's going to be a long road for them to figure that out again. There's just too many emotions going on right now on both sides for things to work out, but in the end, I really believe that these two will be each other's happy ending. Michael Raymond James and Jennifer Morrison are just awesome together. I LOVE THEM. Speaking of Jennifer's awesomeness, her scenes with Henry tonight broke my heart (well, that whole sequence in Neal's apartment broke my heart in general) and you can tell Emma's head is just too overwhelmed to comprehend everything right now. Her phone call to Snow to ask for advice was priceless but her realization that she lied to Henry to protect herself instead of protecting him was really sad. We know she never wanted to hurt Henry over the dad information and I think Henry will forgive Emma once the dust settles, but seeing their relationship broken was the thing that really mad me sad tonight. You could tell how much it hurt Emma to hear Henry say she was just like Regina (OY VEY, that did me in....we know she's about as different from Regina as you can get but in his anger, all he sees is that she lied to him too and that broke me down hard. ) and after the whole Neal thing, I think Emma's wall won't be coming down again for a good while. My heart broke so many times for her tonight and I honestly have no idea where she's going to go emotionally from here. (((((Emma))))) Rumple's back story with the seer was pretty fascinating and I was surprised that he injured himself to get out of the war due to that seer's prediction (which obviously wasn't about the war but about him losing Bae the way it actually happened at that portal). His whole life is kind of out of whack due to the misinterpretations of that seer and I find myself wondering now what he's going to do with that last piece of information about the 'child being his undoing". That can be interpreted SO many ways and now that he knows Henry is his grandson, he's got some big decisions to make regarding that prophecy and it will be interesting to see what he does next. Interesting to learn how he got the power to see the future too (relating back to the early episodes of season one where we learned that fact from Snow & Charming's conversations). Robert C. was also amazing tonight and actually, I thought everyone was really great tonight. This was seriously one of the best episodes of the whole series and kudos to Jen, Robert, MRJ, Jared Gilmore, and everyone else for totally bringing it. I LOVED Snow and Charming talking about their family tree! Nice diversion from the other drama going on and hehe, classic line alert: "Good thing we don't have Thanksgiving in our land, because that dinner would suck." -Charming I hated the part with Greg spying on everyone. It didn't seem to fit into this episode and I just don't care enough about him right now to tolerate his presence in this otherwise fantastic episode. Where are they going with that story?! I really hope Regina is playing her mother like a string instrument because Cora is just downright evil and I really don't want her to succeed in finding that dagger. I think that last part where Cora threw Hook across the room will be what drives Hook to the Charming side of the battle lines. Ugh, Cora is just awful. Regina...you were doing so well with the whole being good thing! STOP TRUSTING YOUR MOTHER!!!! Michael Raymond James needs to be a full time cast member next season. He was great in the scenes with Jen, I loved his scenes with Henry (although I fear Henry will find out the hard way that his dad isn't really any better than Emma when he looks at the big picture and really understands what his dad did to her), and he easily went toe to toe with Robert C. in their scenes too. I haven't really seen MRJ in anything else prior to this show but I am fast becoming a very big fan of his and I can't wait to see more of him in this second part of the season. Good casting OUAT!!! OK, I feel a little better and now I need to go to bed. Emotional overload...AUGH!!! LOL

Running back Donald Brown hadn't been giving much to the Colts' offense over the past month, and now he won't be giving them anything for the rest of the year. The team put Brown on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday after Brown suffered a sprained ankle in Week 13. Brown had been operating as the Colts' secondary back behind Vick Ballard for a long while. From Week 10 through Week 13, Brown had gained 98 yards on 34 carries and caught five passes for 39 yards.
Fantasy Analysis:
Since Brown is now gone, and Delone Carter looked to suffer a sprained ankle this past Sunday, the Colts have signed Mewelde Moore and Deji Karim for running back depth. But this is clearly Ballard's backfield, and he's an OK flex play this weekend, even against a Texans defense that is stuanch against the run. Ballard should get 15-20 touches to make him worth a spot in your lineup.

You are herecontent / Joseph Wilson on Bush Crowd: "A Real Threat to Our Republic"
Joseph Wilson on Bush Crowd: "A Real Threat to Our Republic"
By Citizens for Legitimate Government
Joseph Wilson is the author of The Politics of Truth: Inside the Lies that led to War and Betrayed My Wife's CIA Identity (Avalon Publishing Group, 2004). Joseph Wilson is a political centrist, was a career United States diplomat from 1976 to 1998. During Democratic and Republican administrations he served in various diplomatic posts throughout Africa and eventually as ambassador to Gabon. He was the acting ambassador to Baghdad when Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990. In February 2002, he investigated reports of Iraq's attempt to buy uranium from Niger. In October 2003, Wilson received the Ron Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling from the Fertel Foundation and the Nation Institute. He lives in Washington, D.C.
Joseph Wilson was interviewed by Lori Price with Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., of Citizens For Legitimate Government on 6 July 2005. The transcript of that interview follows.
Citizens For Legitimate Government: Thank you so much, Ambassador Wilson, for doing this interview with Citizens For Legitimate Government. It's very much appreciated. Thank you, also, for all you have done for this country. We have your book, The Politics of Truth, linked to CLG's 'Books CLG Recommends' page.
Mr. Ambassador, when you listened to George W. Bush's speech in January of 2003 and his mention of the 'yellowcake from Niger,' did you think that he was lying or simply that he was misled?' I know you gave a formal response to the New York Times in the July editorial ["What I Didn't Find in Africa "], and in subsequent interviews, but I wonder if the word "liar" crossed your mind at the time, or thereafter.
Ambassador Joseph Wilson: At the time of the State of the Union, I had no idea the President was referring to Niger. Remember, his statement was 'the British government have learned that Saddam Hussein recently attempted to purchase uranium yellowcake from Africa'. There are four countries in Africa that produce yellowcake, so he could have been speaking about one of the other three. It was only in March when it became apparent that Niger was the country in question that I came to understand that the administration had misstated the facts. To this day, I don't know whether the President lied or was misled. I don't expect him to be a fact checker on every detail in the State of the Union but at the same time he did say that he was responsible for every word in the speech. It is clear that the administration was intent in making the nuclear threat case (How many times did we hear, "we cannot afford to wait for the smoking gun to come in the form of a mushroom cloud"?) The administration was required by the use of force authorization resolution passed by congress to convince itself of the gravity of the WMD threat, and the nuclear case was the one they pushed.
CLG: Do you think that the Bush Administration pressured the CIA, as the 'Downing Street Memo' put it, to "fix" the facts around the policy about the war in Iraq?
JW: Absolutely. The pressure was sometimes subtle, like asking analysts the same question thirty times until they received the answer they wanted and sometimes heavy handed such as the several trips Cheney took to the agency to press analysts to find something. And the administration also set up separate cells within the bureaucracy to stovepipe information directly to the White House bypassing the normal analysis channels. That may be how the yellowcake information came to the attention of the VP. The problem with the cell structure is that much of the information they passed up the chain was completely bogus. A cursory analysis by the intelligence community would have kept a lot of that bogus information out of the decision-making loop. Instead, the falsehoods formed the foundation of the case for invading, conquering, and now occupying Iraq.
CLG: If you answered yes to the above question, do you think the Bush Administration lied to justify the invasion of Iraq?
JW: It is clear from the Downing Street Memos that the administration decided to go to war with Iraq far earlier than generally assumed. The administration did not even request a national intelligence estimate before making its decision (the request came from Congress). The cherry-picking of the intelligence, the lack of analysis, the use of information that was so clearly disputable or unrealistic and known to be so, lead me to conclude that the administration consciously misled the congress and the American people. Yes, it lied to justify the invasion of Iraq.
CLG: If you answered yes to this latest question, what, if any, consequences should follow?
JW: That the administration misled the American people was why I spent so much time in the last campaign working to defeat the administration. We settle political questions at the polls. Regrettably the administration's continued lying secured its victory. I believe that the congress should exercise its oversight responsibilities and hold hearings in to the lies and deceptions of the administration. For once the Republicans, who hold control of both Houses, should put their loyalty to the Constitution and their oversight responsibilities above partisanship. I doubt that they will which leads really to the need to defeat them in the next two elections.
CLG: As Mary Wollstonecraft wrote about male domination in the late 18th century, "[n]o man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, which is the good he seeks."
Does this explain the push for war in Iraq by the Bush team? Did they really believe they were doing the right thing for the US and the world? Or, was there some less noble objective in mind from the start? In short, what do you think was behind Bush's obsession with Iraq? Was it Bush's personal antipathy for Hussein? Was it oil? (After all, maps of Iraq's oil fields were part of the Cheney secret energy team papers that were finally turned over, thanks to Judicial Watch's suit.) Was it a broader geopolitical objective--privatizing water rights, gaining oil and protecting Israel? Did it involve allowing key contractors to make a tremendous amount of money that could not - and will likely never - be accounted for? Was it all of the above or something else entirely?
JW: I would not presume to speak for the President's underlying motives. I heard him say that 'after all Saddam tried to kill my dad' and I have heard the oil arguments, the protecting of Israel, etc. But I think that the best explanation came from Bill Kristol in a debate we had in Texas. He said it was all about changing the political dynamics in the Middle East. The problem is war breeds extremism, as we clearly see, and those are not the dynamics we wanted to change to. If it was for oil, we surely screwed up as two years after the fact, Iraqi production is flat. If it was for Israel, it is hard to see how we have made it more stable, since the hatred we have spawned is intense and the instability that has resulted from our invasion cannot reassure Israel that its neighborhood is now safer.
CLG: Halliburton recently was awarded a $72 million-dollar 'bonus' for its 'no-bid' work in Iraq and a 30-billion dollar contract to build another prison at Guantanamo Bay. Do you think Halliburton's ties to Dick Cheney could have been one of the motivating factors behind the Bush/Cheney push to invade Iraq, or is this just an added bonus, a fringe benefit? Or, are some Democrats merely making this contract into a political hotcake when there is no 'there there,' as Halliburton officials claim?
JW: Whether Halliburton was a motivator or a beneficiary is a good question. One thing is clear in war: there will always be some who will profit from the misery of others. Churchill once advocated and may have passed a law limiting profits of defence contractors in time of war to 10% to stop the war profiteering. Halliburton should welcome such a law here to put an end to the speculation about its role and unseemly profits at the expense of others. I am not holding my breath however.
CLG: It was reported on 21 June 2005: $2.4 billion in $100 bills was sent to Baghdad. What do you suppose happened to this money? Is this simply part of the spoils of war, or do you think the recipients of this money were connected to the contractors, who are (however tangentially) connected to the administration?
JW: Wherever large amounts of cash are involved there are sticky fingers. But I am not privy to this or any other specific expenditure. Congress should certainly be looking in to it.
CLG: Did you know about the "Downing Street Memo(s)" prior to its/their release?
JW: No.
CLG: What do you think of that part of the 'Downing Street Memo' that focuses on the revelations that the Bush Administration was trying to make the 'evidence' fit the 'crime' (a term suggested by CLG Founder and Chair, Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D., back in 2003? "The only WMDs are those of the so-called 'coalition' forces, exploding like the evidence in search of the crime.") [*See: March 30 Anti-W-ar Rally Pittsburgh Speech, by Michael Rectenwald.]
JW: It is disheartening to see the extent to which we were prepared to stretch the truth in order to justify the war. It is a breach of faith with our armed forces and it ultimately undermines our Constitution.
CLG: Why do you think the mainstream media, the cable news networks and the pundits waited until the *middle of June 2005* to report on the 'Downing Street Memo,' which was published by The Sunday Times on 01 May 2005? (CLG reported this story early on 02 May 2005.) Was this just pure laziness,
lack of interest, or as the Washington Post claimed, 'old news?' Or was it something else? Did the White House try to cover it up with some sort of threats to the media outlets?
JW: I think the media has let the country down. It has been totally co-opted by the administration. I think it is a combination of the hangover of 911, coupled with aggressive intimidation by the administration and the right wing.
CLG: OK, getting to some of the nitty-gritty of the matter: What was your personal feeling about Robert Novak illegally revealing the job function of your wife, Valerie Plame? You must have been understandably very angry. Did you fear for your wife's life? Did you fear for your own life?
JW: I was obviously upset. After all, they compromised the identity of one of their own national security assets. How dumb, and how mean. I feared for my wife and kids as any husband and father would. As to my own safety, after one has faced down Saddam Hussein, as I did in the first Gulf war, it is hard to take Karl Rove and his motley crew of school yard bullies very seriously as a physical threat.
CLG: Who did you think was the source of the leak to Novak? Did you think that Rove was involved prior to the latest news? Do you think that Rove was indeed a source or the source?
JW: I wrote in my book that there was a conspiracy in the white house to find out everything they could about me and then use it against me. I think the logical place to look for the conspiracy is in the White House Iraq group (WHIG) which included Rove, Scooter Libby, Karen Hughes, Ari Fleischer and others. I don't know who among them might have been the leaker or authorized the leak.
CLG: Do you feel that reporters Matthew Cooper of Time and Judith Miller of The New York Times should have turned over their documents regarding the Plame affair? Do you think Novak is more to blame, since he actually revealed the identity of a covert operative's name? Or are the sources the only ones to blame? (I don't want to drag you into a 1st Amendment discussion here, just your general sense of the matter).
JW: No Comment.
CLG: What punishment if any would you recommend for the person(s) who leaked
the memo, if they are found guilty?
JW: The law calls for ten years and a substantial fine. I think that is appropriate.
CLG: Do you think Rove should explain his role in the outing of Valerie NOW, as some House Democrats are insisting, rather than hiding behind lawyers even before any legal charges are brought (if indeed they ever are)?
JW: Absolutely. He is a senior adviser to the President of the United States, after all.
CLG: Do you think that Rove will really ever face any consequences for the Plame outing (or for anything else for that matter)?
JW: Yes.
CLG: I can't let this moment pass without asking you about 9/11 and the Bush Administration. Do you notice any oddities about how the Bush Administration handled the events, the aftermath or the investigation of 9/11? Do you see any holes in the government's explanation of events? (Obviously, we at the CLG do. See our page: http://www.legitgov.org/9_1_1_oddities.html.)
JW: I have obviously followed the inquiries into 9/11 and I know Dick Clarke and Rand Beers very well but I am not an expert. I look to the "Jersey Girls" who have so assiduously pushed the case in the memory of their late husbands, for real understanding. I have great admiration for them and for what they have done. They are not satisfied, so neither am I.
CLG: When all is said and done, do you see the Bush Administration as a run-of-the-mill Republican Administration, or do you see it as something different, something a bit more 'sinister?' A lot of us are of the opinion that the Bush 'regime' is illegitimate and we feel that Republicans stole the election for George W. Bush in 2000. And many people think that the Republicans stole Ohio and therefore the election for Bush in 2004. If you look at the independent research, statistics indicate a pattern of serious incongruities between exit polling and the official results in key states that used electronic voting. Do you care to comment?
JW: This is a radical regime, not a Republican administration. It is the most oppressive crowd I have ever seen and is a real threat to our republic. While I am not an expert in elections I can see how people might believe the last two elections were stolen. The lesson for the democrats is to stop rolling over and stand up for what you believe in. The republicans believe the democrats and the press are soft and can be pushed around and that is what they are doing. To the detriment of us all.
CLG: What do you see happening with the Bush Administration - recently, the 'I' word (impeachment) has appeared in the mainstream media. Do you see the impeachment as a possible fate for George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and/or other key players of the Bush Administration?
JW: It is unlikely that Republican-held Houses of Congress are going to open an inquiry unless they suddenly decide their Constitutional oversight responsibilities trump their partisan loyalties. I am not holding my breath.
CLG: Thank you so much, Ambassador Wilson, for your time.
--Lori Price and Michael Rectenwald, Ph.D.
Update from Joseph Wilson, 06 July, 2005 3:23 PM EST
Statement of Joseph Wilson on the sentencing of New York Times reporter Judith Miller
The sentencing of Judith Miller to jail for refusing to disclose her sources is the direct result of the culture of unaccountability that infects the Bush White House from top to bottom. President Bush's refusal to enforce his own call for full cooperation with the Special Counsel has brought us to this point. Clearly, the conspiracy to cover up the web of lies that underpinned the invasion of Iraq is more important to the White House than coming clean on a serious breach of national security. Thus has Ms Miller joined my wife, Valerie, and her twenty years of service to this nation as collateral damage in the smear campaign launched when I had the temerity to challenge the President on his assertion that Iraq had attempted to purchase uranium yellowcake from Africa.
The real victims of this cover-up, which may have turned criminal, are the Congress, the Constitution and, most tragically, the Americans and Iraqis who have paid the ultimate price for Bush's folly.

Excellent article.
Time to fire Congress!
It amazes me that if 42% of americans polled believe that if Bush lied to congress and the citizenry in order to go to war with Iraq, then that must mean that there are approximately 58% (unless some are in the I don't know category) who think it is ok to lie to us , kill and wound thousands of our troops , and Iraqis ,spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars ,and that he should be allowed to remain in office . Who are these people who think so ? what are they smoking ?
Outstanding interview. Excellent questions!
First time I had read of the maps in Cheney's secret meetings...Cheney is always found in the mix...Scary man..really scary...
I am passing this article around....we all should
Great reading , Amb. Wilson is a man of character which is why the Facists in The White House are so afraid of him. I wish him and Ms. Plame well , you both have my respect!

Inspired by our global offices in four of the world's classic cities (not to mention our love of travel), this bold collection of minis—created exclusively for Birchbox—features summer's hottest hues. Our editors worked closely with Color Club to develop these custom shades, visiting the brand's Long Island factory to collaborate with the brand's in-house chemist. You definitely won't find anything like these on-trend, brightly hued polishes anywhere else.
I'm just beginning to venture away from my "comfort zone" polish colors, so I was pleased to find the "London Calling" sample in my Birchbox! This color looks incredible, especially with a bit of a summer tan. The polish went on smooth and I applied a second coat. I will be ordering the set, I can't wait to try the other colors!5

JMG Le Clézio interview
The Guardian carried an interview with JMG Le Clézio on Saturday.
Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio was born in 1940, two months before France fell to Nazi Germany. Thinking the Germans would occupy Provence, his mother, Simone, drove with her two sons to Brittany. "As soon as we arrived, the Germans arrived, and sent us back." The south was occupied by fascist Italy in 1942, then by Germany. "I was very hungry at the end of the war, begging for food from the Americans, who were giving away white bread and chocolate. That's written in my memory."

So I got my new BG chest entry 4/3 and am loving it. But the key stash is different than my old situation. There is like a small elastic loop in the exterior chest, then you pull the flap over the head and zip it over where the loop lives. If the key isn't secured well, it will simply wash out of the side of the flap that was pulled over the head.
How do you secure the key with this elastic loop? All I csn think of is to thread floss through the key and tie it to the loop.
What do you guys do?

Pull the elastic through the hole in the key
Open the elastic to create a loop, pull key through the loop and pull on the key to tighten.
Then it's locked in and will never get loose without a hand opening the loop

I am very unique (differently abled) with my abilities being extremely concentrated creatively in the spiritual area. I have limited visual memory and finer motor skills. Being unable to retain much visually, limits greatly what I am able to do in this world, since visualization plays a big role in helping one perform in any given area. Most people seem to find that hard to understand! I do not type very fast or last long at a lot of tasks due to my finer motor weakness. Complex movements are difficult(if at all possible) and very tiring. My gross motor skills are excellent. In figuring out myself, I have become really good at understanding people who are not easy to understand. This has helped me to be able to focus really intensely in the SPIRITUAL area. Often those who have lived the most challenging lives achieve an awful lot. I am still focused on achieving a lot more in my life and see my best years ahead of me.
MY FOCUS IS ALL ABOUT IMPROVING THE SPIRITUAL BELIEFS AND TRAINING TECHNIQUES THAT EXISTS ON THIS EARTH. I have done an awful lot of serious/intense experimentation in this area on myself. One needs to really experience the spiritual intensely, in order to really understand it well. Good spiritual training techniques enables one to experience intense spiritual states without being overwhelmed by them. One will feel the need to improve ones spiritual beliefs after one becomes more deeply tuned into the spiritual.
I created my own astrology system over a period of over 30 year(without signs or houses)which is in harmony with my current understanding of the mechanics of how the spiritual works. For more information on me put astrogoodwin into a search engine. Facebook is my central site, where I have links to other sites. I have lots of good blog posts on astrogoodwin/wordpress.
People often have spiritual beliefs(and mind-set) that make them unable to relate to(understand) some one like me. A lot of people are not very open spiritually and will quickly judge(often using poorly programmed/trained intuition) someone like me negatively. To the right person I can be extremely helpful and interesting, to the wrong person I can seem too much to deal with.
I am really good at pushing the edge(push edge everyday with my very intense mind-body exercises-explained in one of my JOURNAL entries) when it comes to the spiritual and want to help bring a higher level of spirituality to this world that is badly in need of improvement in this area, so as to handle the complex an intense problems of this highly technological age we live in now.
I am good to vent on, since I can handle rough emotions very well. My spiritual training techniques were designed with the intent of strengthening my ability to handle really intense and difficult emotions really well, so that I could relate well and empathize with those really struggling in life, and also be able to connect well with the highly emotionally charged issues and problems in this world and the people affected by them.
I am not into wild conspiracy theories or belief systems(not into crazy(unproven) UFO theories about aliens having impacted this planet in the past and present). I am into beliefs that help one to be more effective at dealing with the strong challenges that this physical world we live in gives us. I am not into beliefs that involve escaping from this world or tend to demonize certain groups or sectors of our society. I see the people in position of power as being very much controlled by the collective spiritual energy of those that allow them to retain that power. That there is always others that are willing to work hard in order to replace those in power(in industry or government)if given the opportunity. That the way you change this world is by changing the collective spiritual energy here, so that better people will develop and gain positions of power here. The predominating spiritual beliefs and practices/training is what determines the quality of the spiritual energy that exists in a society or on a planet as a whole.
This is my really challenging daily routine: Almost every weekday morning, I get up at 2AM and eat some salted oatmeal to fuel my dumbbell swing exercise routine, then go back to sleep. I then wake up again at around 4:00 AM and drink some water with some light salt(sodium&potassium) and started exercising. I first do crunches followed by repeated careful stretching movements holding them very briefly covering all muscles for about 5 minutes, then some light weightlifting(warmed up using 20 lb dumbbell and arms for about 2 minutes doing all types of movements a few times in standing position), then do dumbbell swings, and 5 minutes more of stretching, followed by a mile slow meditative walk(breathing in and out with each step/arm movement). [Updated 9/26/15 to only walking no longer running]. I do as many 2-handed overhead modified(bending elbows when lifting dumbbell overhead, limited squat, and extended to behind head) 20 lb dumbbell swings as I can do in a total of 13 minutes nonstop cardio! I do these with my eyes closed at times while breathing in and out 6 or 8 times with each dumbbell swing. I do move my head looking down on the high part of the swing and looking up when on the low side of the swing which massages my neck. 10/4/15: Found out that the dumbbell swings I do are called Barbarian Swings.
I also am on a really strict/austere diet with 6 to 7 small high protein meals a day with no junk food and take
vitamin and mineral supplements. I am lean(5"10" 135lbs-10/18/15), but I feel extremely healthy physically and spiritually! I believe a austere healthy diet with intense meditative and cardio exercise with the resultant very lean ascetic body type works really well for someone who specializes in the spiritual area!
I can easily gain weight(have done so in the past) even on a healthy diet and exercise, if I did not make the strong effort to restrict calories. My tough diet I believe does tend to keep me quite serious and safe spiritually, which is a good thing, since my differing spiritual beliefs which I express readily do tend to expose me to challenging spiritual energy from those strongly attached to a traditional or popular spiritual mindset. I do believe in a preventive/proactive type spiritual approach. I believe in preventive healthcare as well as preventive type actions to prevent possible problems or future harm. I strongly believe in a very strong connection between the spiritual
and the physical.
I am good at supporting and uplifting people who are really struggling in this world. I am good at changing negative energy into positive energy. I am good at listening to people who others are not strong enough spiritually to listen to. I am good at dealing with the most difficult emotions and am very capable of being able to empathize with people having a really hard time in life and the difficult emotions that come with ones struggle to hang in their in tough times.
I can really tune into the really emotionally charged issues and problems of our time and believe we can develop the spiritual strength to handle these problems a lot better than we are.
My whole life has been sort of a very serious type experiment searching for answers and struggling to survive in a world that is not that friendly to a person born as unique as me. I can relate very deeply with people due to all my inner exploration and understand people who are really difficult to understand.
I trust that really hard spiritual work does eventually pay off, and that my ability to be able to bring comfort and emotional support to those who really struggle along with really good spiritual ideas and suggestions will eventually bring the results they deserve.
I now live in Houston TX.

RBM Mandate
The RBM Partnership is the global framework to implement coordinated action against malaria. It mobilizes for action and resources and forges consensus among partners. The Partnership is comprised of more than 500 partners, including malaria endemic countries, their bilateral and multilateral development partners, the private sector, nongovernmental and community-based organizations, foundations, and research and academic institutions.
RBM's strength lies in its ability to form effective partnerships both globally and nationally. Partners work together to scale up malaria-control efforts at country level, coordinating their activities to avoid duplication and fragmentation, and to ensure optimal use of resources.
RBM's overall strategy aims to reduce malaria morbidity and mortality by reaching universal coverage and strengthening health systems. The Global Malaria Action Plan defines two stages of malaria control: (1) scaling-up for impact (SUFI) of preventive and therapeutic interventions, and (2) sustaining control over time.
In 2013, the RBM Partnership is comprised of hundreds partners that are organized in eight constituencies.
The RBM Partnership was launched in 1998 by WHO, UNICEF, UNDP and the World Bank, in an effort to provide a coordinated global response to the disease. The RBM Partnership is led by the Executive Director, and served by a Secretariat that is hosted by the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. The Secretariat works to facilitate policy coordination at a global level.

What is rowing?
Short answer:
long answer:
Eleven insights to the sport
of rowing.
1. Rowing
is a total body workout. Rowing only
looks like an upper body sport. Although upper body strength is important,
the strength of the rowing stroke comes from the legs. Rowing is one
of the few athletic activities that involves all of the body's major
muscle groups. It is a great aerobic workout, in the same vein as cross-country
skiing, and is a low-impact sport on the joints.

Well that depends a on what anywhere you study. Richard sambrook's chapter relevant here. Always struck me as strange that there was no CPD for journos...have said as much openly over the years

Consider volunteering for Morris Habitat for Humanity
Morris Habitat for Humanity encourages people to make volunteering their New Year's resolution.
Morris Habitat for Humanity has found a larger home just off Route 10 at 274 South Salem Street (across from the K-Mart Plaza) and has expanded the number of housing units it plans to build; that was their resolution for the New Year. But that kind of expansion means far more help is needed and they are hoping that area residents will make volunteering a New Year resolution, too. Morris Habitat invites all who are interested to join the large family of volunteers now helping to make the dream of home-ownership come true.
This is the time of year for looking back to see what 2012 meant and what we hope to focus on for the future. For many of us there have been life changes and challenges. As we age, it is critical that we move beyond these challenges and put our time and energies where they are most valued. Volunteering is one way of doing just that.
Researchers have found that active volunteers reported, compared to other people the same age, improvements in mental health and physical functioning. They also seemed to delay the onset of age-related health problems. Active volunteers reported higher self-esteem and more connectivity with other people. They were more engaged in the community and increased their number of friends.
When most people think of Morris Habitat for Humanity they think about swinging a hammer at a construction site. It is true that Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to building decent, affordable housing with low-income families; therefore needing a stream of dedicated construction volunteers. However, there are many non-construction activities where mature volunteers excel. Morris Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, ages, races and religions to come volunteer with us. Start by attending one of our monthly Volunteer Orientations and, within an hour, learn all about Morris Habitat, our activities and plans as well as all the areas where volunteers are needed. Like to shop? Consider working in our newly expanded ReStore. Like to plan events or mentor a family? Consider joining one of the many committees that ensure Morris Habitat reaches its goal of helping 10 to 15 local families per year by providing affordable home ownership.
What's in it for you?
Learn or develop a new skill - volunteering is the perfect vehicle to discover a "hidden talent," something you are really good at and develop a new skill.
Be part of your community - no man or woman is an island. We sometimes take for granted the community that we live in. Volunteering is ultimately about helping others and having an impact on people's wellbeing.
Motivation and sense of achievement - fundamentally, volunteering is about giving your time, energy and skills freely. Unlike many things in life there is choice involved in volunteering. You can work at tasks that you enjoy.
New interests and hobbies - Sometimes we do get locked into the "rat-race" of life and volunteering can give that escape to every day routine and create a balance in our lives. Finding new interests and hobbies through volunteering can be fun, relaxing and energizing.
Morris Habitat can provide all these things and more. As a volunteer you can be assured that all efforts and skills are valued, and no one leaves without at least one "thank you" for the time and energy given.
For more information, and to find out when the next volunteer orientation is scheduled, go to the website at morrishabitat.org Volunteer opportunities and orientations are listed right on the home page. Otherwise, contact the Morris Habitat for Humanity Office in Randolph, NJ at 973-891-1934.
