State of Working PA
Post-Labor Day Thoughts: Middle Class Can't Afford Another Lost DecadeSubmitted by Thirdandstate.org on Tue, 09/04/2012 - 11:07am.
By Mark Price, Third and State
Labor Day 2012 is behind us, but the challenges confronting the middle class are not.
As we do each year around this time, the Keystone Research Center has released the State of Working Pennsylvania. My co-author, a.k.a El Jefe, had a Labor Day op-ed in the Harrisburg Patriot-News where he laid out the theme of this year's report — namely, that the middle class in Pennsylvania and the U.S. cannot afford another lost decade.
The next three figures lay out the major elements of this year's State of Working Pennsylvania: employment growth over the last decade has been weak (Figure 1.10); as a result, incomes over the last decade declined (Figure 1.11); and in the first year of the recovery and of the new decade, income inequality resumed its growth as the top 1% increased their share of all income (Figure 5.1).
With job growth weak and many policymakers advocating that we lay off more teachers and continue to put off needed investments in infrastructure, we are very concerned that working and middle-class families may end the next decade with less income from work than they started with in 2010.

Daedalus Touch – Text Editor for iCloud
By Ulysses GmbH & Co. KG
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
"My Favorite iPad Text Editor." – Charlie Sorrel, WIRED
"A purist and minimalist's dream." – Jennifer Allen, 148Apps
"It's a killer app, and a welcome addition to my writing life." – Zach LeBar, iPad.AppStorm
Daedalus Touch is the first truly next-gen text editor on iOS. No file lists, no folders, no documents in the classic sense – just paper stacks and an infinite amount of sheets. You navigate by standard gestures, all perfectly mapped and matched to the tasks at hand.
Interacting with digital texts never felt so natural: Flick through pages by swiping left and right, reorder stacks and sheets via drag'n'drop, use tap to open, pinch to close, and select multiple sheets for export with simple taps.
Watch it all at http://www.daedalusapp.com/
The basic version fully utilizes iCloud to keep your texts updated across all of your devices. It's also tightly integrated with Ulysses for OS X, so you can edit all your texts on the desktop. A simple export facility lets you print and send emails from within the app.
For advanced functionality, several in-app purchases are available:
1) Full synchronization via Dropbox, Box.com and WebDAV, including the option to import .txt and .md files into Daedalus.
2) File export, creating TXT-, PDF-, RTF- and ePub-files with Markdown conversion. Files can be sent as attachments or opened in other apps installed on your device.
3) Additional color themes and the option to use any font you want.
4) All of the above in one complete package.
Please note that users who purchased Daedalus prior to 1.7 will get the full version at no additional cost. Free lunch.
Create, share and synchronize your writings in a beautiful, inspiring environment. Daedalus Touch completely ditches the technical aspects of current-gen text editors and word processors in favor of a natural, fully realized paper stack metaphor.
- Stacks and sheets instead of folders and files.

- Support for all common Markdown extensions such as .md, .mdown and .markdown.
- Option to process Markdown when exporting to ePub or PDF.

Customer Reviews
Ridiculously good
I am shocked, *shocked* that this app has any bad reviews at all. I wrote my dissertation on this app. I use it everyday for work (I am a professional writer, and earn good money doing it).
Please, Soulmen, do not give up on Daedalus in favor of Ulysses. Ulysses has its place—it's great for organizing all of your writing, almost like a database of your text. But it is not Daedalus. Not by a long shot. When it comes to writing, anywhere, on any device, in any way, Daedalus is king.
This is *the* editor for writers.
If you write books, try Daedalus.
If you're an Alphasmart fan, try Daedalus.
If you use WriteRoom, try Daedalus.
If you're stuck on an eMate or some other ancient device for writing, try Daedalus.
If your word processor is distracting, try Daedalus.
If you want to be one with your text, try Daedalus.
I don't know whether I've ever bothered to review an app in the App Store before, but I can't rate this app highly enough. The editor I've been waiting for for years, since long before the iPad existed. You'll know right away, there is no middle ground: either it's the answer to your problems or it's just not for you.
In my case, I've put hundreds of thousands of words into Daedalus, and there is no going back. Everything else feels like a straitjacket to me now. And hopefully the app is around and supported for a long, long time on lots of devices still to come.
A nice concept, plagued by bugs
I have bought this app many years ago, and are now just writing a review. This app has not changed much at all since I first found it; however, with each iOS update, new bugs were introduced. Some documents gets lost, that's not a huge deal, as I backup everything daily. On the other hand, on iOS 8.4, the app sometimes unexplainably lags when trying to focus on a note to type. The animation is impeccably fast, but bringing up software keyboard sometimes takes 4-5 seconds; this is clearly another iOS compatibility bug, which I hope they fix soon and if they do I'd probably bump my rating back to 4. The app is really a great concept for organizing text-based documents. For example, when I fill out job applications, I'd put an application as a stack, and each individual question as a sheet. Moving between questions is fluid and as Steve Jobs would put it, simply magical.
Only for markdown, and Hard time with exports
I didnt know when i got this app that it is was basically for markdown use only, if you choose not to use the markdown codes you will be limited. Sometimes i just want to write and post stories to other apps or on certain sites thats not compatible with markdown. Without using markdown theres no way to use bold and italics writing. And every time i try to export as a rtf. file with markdown, when i open it on my pc the format is weird, all the paragraphs are far apart, with huge spaces and its just a hassle to fix. Once they make it easier to just put in bold and italic writing and make everything simpler for everyone i'll rate higher.

Serious permanent problems do not happen often. Under iPLEDGE, access to isotretinoin is severely restricted for women who can become pregnant, including young women who have not started having menstrual periods and women who have had their tubes tied. Women taking the drug must take pregnancy tests each month, use two forms of contraception, and log certain information into a government database before receiving their 30-day supply of isotretinoin each month. Buy Isotretinoin online UK. My dermatologist has recommended Accutane as well but I ve been resistant to trying it for a number of reasons.Because babies with severe birth defects continued to be born to mothers who had taken Accutane during their pregnancies, as of 2006 the FDA requires women taking isotretinoin to participate in the iPLEDGE program. However, because the symptoms listed above may be signs of serious problems, if you get them, stop taking Accutane and call your provider..I m sorry to hear about your condition, but glad to hear from someone who has experienced the treatment first-hand. I guess I ll stick to antibiotics for a few more years. Accutane antibiotic . Even if these problems are treated, they may not clear up after you stop taking Accutane. This program aims to eliminate fetal exposure to the drug. If not treated, they could lead to serious health problems. Buy cheap Accutane no prescriptionAccutane in the news.

Thank you for your interest and dedication in searching out answers to improving your quality of life through hormone therapy.
I believe that replacing dwindling hormones levels back to when we were in our twenties and thirties is not only healthy but will protect us from cancer and heart disease.
If it is natural having low levels of hormones, and cancer and heart disease are inevitable, then why not replace and balance those hormones that were so kind to us and brought us youthful energy.
The answer is there is no reason not to replace these hormones, and repeated studies have shown reductions in cancer, heart disease and quality of life when these hormones are balanced and restored.
Think about it, it makes perfect sense.
Pressing questions you might have about Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapies:
What is a bio-identical hormone?
Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are identical to our hormones that circulated in our body when we were younger and even now, though in lesser amounts. And there lies the problem. They are hormones that are exact copies of endogenous (from inside our body) human hormones, including estriol, estradiol, progesterone, as opposed to synthetic versions with different chemical structures or non-human versions, such as Premarin.
Bioidentical hormones are also referred to as "natural" hormones, but that might be confusing, because even though they are identical to our own hormones in structure and function, they started out as hormones from a Yam. Yes a yam, but different side branches to the hormone present naturally in a yam were removed synthetically to create a hormone identical to ours.
While other hormones referred to as natural, such as the Conjugated Equine (horse) Estrogens or Premarin are produced naturally by horses, collected in their urine and given directly to you as a horse's estrogen.
They left all those nasty horse "side-chains" attached them and therefore the hormone is nothing like your hormone but is identical to a horse's. Well good for the horse and bad for you as the horse has numerous compounds in the preparation, that are definitely foreign and potentially harmful to the human body (i.e. equipollence).
So what is bioidentical hormone replacement therapy?
It is a totally different approach to attaining and maintaining health. My goal is to take hormones that circulated at levels when you were in your twenties and thirties, and restore those levels in situations where they have fallen to very low levels.
Though it might be considered "natural" to have these hormones in levels that result in weight gain, depression, anxiety, mood swings, hot flashes, headaches, and difficulty sleeping, I feel that this is not "natural". Is not sleeping at night with the resulting exhaustion during the day natural? Are having hot flashes throughout the day "natural"?
Are having migraine headaches that nearly disable you natural? There is nothing healthy or natural about these symptoms, so why not correct the hormone levels that will restore you to a healthy, and happy state?
Bioidentical hormones are hormones that are identical to our hormones that circulated in our body when we were younger.
Synthetic progesterone (Provera or Prempro) are not natural, nor is Premarin (Horse Urine Estrogen). They do not look anything like your natural hormones, nor do they act like them.
What Results can I expect?
Resolution of hot flashes. In some ladies this may occur as quickly as two to three weeks. Restful sleep, which may occur as quickly as one week, but obviously correction of other abnormalities will ultimately affect how great a sleep you can attain. Improved energy levels- certainly identifying the reason will be critical, but optimizing hormones including your thyroid will be important.
Often with therapy patient's energy levels improve after a few weeks.
A study performed in Michigan by Dr. Pamela Smith, found that 90% of the women who presented to her clinic on antidepressants, anti-anxieties, or sleeping pills, had those drugs stopped because they no longer needed them when their hormones were balanced.
Why treat a progesterone deficiency with Valium? Why treat an estrogen deficiency with Elavil or Prozac? Why treat a progesterone deficiency that robs you of sleep with a sleeping pill? Why not correct these hormone deficiencies? The problem is not an Elavil deficiency, or a Prozac deficiency or an Ambien deficiency. It's a deficiency in your own natural hormones.
How much do these therapies cost?
Every patient's needs and concerns are different. Because of this, your individualized treatment plan will be different. Medication costs vary depending on the dosage, strength, and the medications themselves.
If you wish to have your medications billed to your insurance company, most pharmacies are able to do this. However, insurance coverage varies between insurance companies and medications, so out-of-pocket costs will vary.
HGH coverage is almost universally denied. In some cases, coverage is limited to brand name HGH, so your co-pay is actually higher than paying for the compounded HGH completely out-of-pocket.
I do not bill insurance.
I provide patients with an invoices containing all relevant information for them to submit the bill for insurance reimbursement if they wish.
However, insurance coverage for preventative care is generally low, if there is any coverage at all. Generally, your medication will be at least $100 per month (without insurance coverage).
Why can't my family doctor take care of ordering these medications?
The approach to these therapies is completely different then seeing you physician for 10 minutes and processing your co-pay on the way out. I devote a minimum of one to two hours on each patient, explaining therapies and discussing risks and benefits. I devote a tremendous amount of time to educating patients, because they need to take control of remaining healthy and avoiding disease.
We are optimizing patients so they have energy and live a fulfilling life. I manage patients by how they feel and how they respond to therapies…….not lab results. That is quite different than the classic conventional medicine we now experience.
I have completed my initial appointment. Now what happens?
All pharmacies are not created equal. I have found some pharmacies that stock all the medications I prescribe. The pharmacies I have had experience with have different levels of quality control, so I would suggest picking a pharmacy you can trust. I have two pharmacies that I suggest, based on my experience, and would be happy to provide their information to you if you have not identified a pharmacy that would work already.
Please fill out the pharmacy instructions form and we will electronically send your prescription for these medications to your pharmacy of choice. This may take up to 2 business days, as I travel back to Sarasota the evening of the appointment. If you contact your pharmacy and the medication is not available please contact my office at 941-955-1815, or email@example.com.
The creation of bio-identical creams is very individualized and I will order these medications after your appointments. Prescriptions are sent in three month increments to coincide with the followup schedule. Make sure you schedule your next appointment at least a month in advance so your appointment happens before you run out of medications.
Please call my office at: 941-955-1815 if you have questions.
I will provide CPT codes for the initial consultation, as well as subsequent follow-ups so that you may submit the bill for insurance reimbursement if they wish. However, insurance coverage for preventative care is generally low, if there is any coverage at all.
I make the adjustments and recommendations for your medications at your appointments.
Your prescriptions will be sent to the pharmacy of your choice during or shortly after your appointments. If there are questions about the therapy, reactions to the therapy, or inquiries into additional therapies between appointments, please contact my office at 941-955-1815. For emergencies, dial 9-1-1.

Absolutely perfect experience! The host was great, we actually got lost on way to apartment (completely my fault) but they waited for me, were extremely helpful, nice and informative. Provided suggestions and info, and were available to answer any questions we had.
The apartment itself was wonderful, it's just as described. It was big, clean and bright with all amenities one would need. It's in a quiet location, steps from the main pedestrian street. It is right in the heart of everything!
We had a great time, and hope when we go back we can stay in the same place!
Despite Marcel couldn´t meet us, her girlfriend was very kind and helpful with us.
The main entrance of the building and the elevator could seem a bit old, but the apartment is really nice, comfortable and very close to the main tourist points in Budapest.
It has everything we need, so I would recommend this apartment if you are looking something cheap, centered and comfortable.
The apartment is well located near to different monuments, city center…. We were 5 people, the flat is enough big with all equipment included, very clean, with 2 bathrooms and a small terrace. Nora is very friendly; she gave us lots of good recommendations. Everything was amazing. We recommend it!
Apartment in an ideal location. Everything as it was described in the offer. Apartment supervisor was very helpful. I highly recommend !!!
Apartament w idealnym miejscu. Wszystko zgodnie z opisem oferty. Opiekun obiektu bardzo pomocny. Bardzo polecam !!!
På flyplassen ble vi mottatt av sjåfør som kjørte oss direkte til leiligheten. Der ble vi møtt av Nora, som tok hyggelig imot oss. Leiligheten ligger perfekt til i forhold til de fleste severdigheter. Kolonialhandel, restaurant og pub i naboområdet. Leiligheten var ren, og godt utstyrt. Flott med to bad. Minuset var harde madrasser.
Das Quartier (zwei Schlafzimmer mit jeweils eigenem Bad bzw. Dusche/ WC) war für unsere Bedürfnisse (zwei Paare) absolut passend. Die zentrale Lage für den Städtetrip gut. Der Service wirklich gut: Wir konnten das Qaurtier bei der Ankunft schon um ca. 12.00 Uhr beziehen und mussten es am Abreisetag erst um 16.00 Uhr verlassen.

"I don't make history. I catch fly balls."
Actually, Willie Mays did both. When Willie Mays joined the New York Giants in 1951, black players were still a rarity in the major leagues. Before Willie Mays, the typical baseball scout's report on a talented black player would mention the player's color first, his ability second. When scouts described young Willie Mays, they mentioned his remarkable skills first.
For 22 seasons, Mays astonished fans and fellow players with his hitting, his running and his unsurpassed fielding. As sportswriter Arthur Daley put it, he "could do everything and do it better than anyone else, (and) with a joyous grace." In the 1950s and '60s, fans couldn't get enough of Willie Mays. In the first flush of his fame and popularity, he would get up early to play stickball in the street with the worshipful children who gathered in front of his Harlem boarding house.
Fans argue to this day about which was the greatest of his many spectacular catches. One thing all baseball lovers agree on: Willie Mays was one of the most versatile, virtuosic players of all time.

Telltale is at it again. They are giving away a pair of episodes to their adventure games. The first is for their classic and most popular franchise Sam and Max.

The second is a preview of their upcoming series based on the time traveling, Huey Lewis powered, 80's masterpiece Back to the Future. Episode 1 is free until an undisclosed point in the space-time continuum, however I suspect it will cost you something when it is released in November.

DOTA is in the gaming news again. It seems that Valve, after acquiring "Icefrog", the current Warcraft 3 DOTA maintainer, has filed a trademark for DOTA 2. This has since caused fireworks amongst, both the map's original creators (now owners and operators of League of Legends) and Blizzard's lead game designer, Rob Pardo. Both parties cited that DOTA (an acronym for Defense of the Ancients) should be reserved for the "community" and not belong to any one owner.
I agree with that criticism, however what is more troubling to me is that DOTA has spawned new genre of video game and not one of it's new implementors (Valve, Blizzard, Riot, S3...) have thought seriously into naming that genre. Retail boxes, and marketing materials for these new products have nothing better than references to DOTA. Meanwhile these companies seem content to have their creations refered to only as a likeness of the original, a Warcraft 3 mod that is nearly 5 years old. This is especially troubling to me when each of these subsequent offerings brings something new to help advance that genre. I would think that they would like some way of branding those advancements.
When Tony Hawk: Ride came out it immediately started competing for the prize of "which game with overly large packaging can gather the most volume of dust". Other contestants included DJ Hero, Rock Band and Guitar Hero. Being that Ride clearly was the worst offering in this category (as far as gameplay... the largeness of it's packaging was spectacular) we all knew that it would be on it's way to the bargain bin rather quickly. Big box stores simply don't have the shelf space to keep paperweights like that game around for long.
I still remember reading the post on Joystiq announcing to the world the existence of the l4d SDK. The first thing that ran through my head was "in about a year there is going to be some awesome content coming for that game." Since then there has been plenty of rumors of promising projects, but none that have capitalized on the full potential that is: brand new full length campaigns for left 4 dead.
A bundle of Indie games has become available called Humble Indie Bundle. Included are: World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru, Penumbra Overture and now, Samorost 2. Price? you decide.
Your payment can be divided between the developers of the games and charity (including Child's Play and EFF).
In breaking news today, it was announced that Bungie, a former subsidiary of the Microsoft corporation and originators of the Halo intellectual property, has signed a 10 year publishing deal with Activision.
While most people grapple with the "Why did Bungie choose Activision?" question, it is fairly clear to me that the reasoning was more fiscally motivated than anything. They wanted to make a new IP and were not satisfied with the budget allowed them by being independent. what interests me more is if they are even capable of making a new IP with a world compelling enough to warrant Activisions interest.
I played Modern Warfare 2 online multiplayer for the first time last weekend and I finally understand. I understand what makes this game so popular, why it gathers a huge following, and what allows it to continue to grow even with the enormous amount of disaccord generated by it's core 18-35 male demographic. I would liken it to Peggle.
Infinity Ward's blockbuster Modern Warfare 2 and I have a kind of love/hate relationship. While I love the idea of a competent, well designed modern military FPS, I dispise the thought of spending $60 for it. In addition, it is $60 to a company commited, not to making quality video games, but only to making money.
Although League of Legends has been treating me well, there seems to always be room for one more HAG (Hero Arena Game.) The "one more" this time is Heroes Of Newerth, a straight remake of Dota using an all new engine.

People and Ideas is an initiative of the Azim Premji Foundation and Azim Premji University, in which we attempt to explore the ideas, lives and works of the many social reformers, artists, scientists, philosophers and educationists from whom we have learnt so much. During this process we hope to create a platform to understand, engage with and discuss the ideas that have contributed to the shaping of our vision and philosophy.
We believe that these ideas and the people behind them should be made accessible to a wider audience in interesting and exciting ways. If a parent appreciated how Tagore's sufferings as a child at the hands of his schoolmasters are reflected in the story "Parrot's Training" (Tota Kahini) would he perhaps be more tolerant of his child's reluctance to memorize reams of history text? Would a village school teacher who truly understands Dewey's philosophy of keeping "theoretical work in touch with the demands of practice" be able teach her students what dignity of labour is all about? We don't know. But we do believe that the lives and thoughts of such luminaries can influence attitudes, encourage reflection and catalyze change in the minds of people and the societies that they are a part of.
As part of the People and Ideas initiative, we develop content in different Indian languages and in a variety of formats that are appealing and accessible to the larger community.
Our current work is based on what we have gathered and researched; if anyone would like to suggest more information sources, please do get in touch with us.
The People and Ideas books are conceived as a weaving together of words and visuals in the form of a graphic novel. The books bring out the essence of the person's ideas and life-work, and use interesting visual treatments like folk art and comic-book style illustrations. We invite you join us on this exciting journey of discovery, through our graphic novel e-books.

Will Middlebrooks is looking forward to 'just going out to kick a guy's ass every day'
|02.27.14 at 2:06 pm ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — As the games finally begin, there's no one with a bigger point to prove or bigger chip on his shoulder than Will Middlebrooks.
He made that perfectly clear Thursday, before taking the field as the starting third baseman against Northeastern, batting seventh.
"Night and day," Middlebrooks told WEEI.com of his feeling this spring compared to 12 months ago. "It's night and day. It's just a matter of competing and believing in my own ability and knowing what I'm capable of and just going out and not thinking about the details and just going out to kick a guy's ass every day."
It's not just the extra 15 to 20 pounds of muscle he's put on during a vigorous offseason workout program. Middlebrooks has shown his manager that he's mentally ready to put 2013 behind him.
"To date, his spring has been productive," Farrell said. "His work has been outstanding. He's come in with a noticeable determination and yet, at the same time, he's doing everything we could've expected, in terms of everybody."
"It's evident by the work he did in the offseason to add some strength and I'm looking forward to seeing him playing on the field."
As Alex Speier documented, 2013 was a nightmare for Middlebrooks, hitting just .227 in 94 games and suffering through a lower back strain that landed him on the disabled list. It got so bad early on that he was demoted to Triple-A Pawtucket for 45 games where he worked to get his swing – and head – right before returning to help the Red Sox down the stretch. All of this after a rookie season in 2012, when he hit 15 homers and drove in 54 runs in 75 games.
"You could point to a number of examples where the second year has been a little bit more challenging and that's just a matter of the league getting to know the strengths and limitations for a given player, and pitching to it accordingly," Farrell said. "Will's very well aware of how pitchers and opponents have attacked him, and that's just a process of establishing yourself year after year in the big leagues."
Farrell reminded everyone this week why the Red Sox aren't about to give up on Middlebrooks as an everyday third baseman.
"He's got well above average right-handed power," Farrell said. "We all know that. And even though there's been some challenges along the way or stretches of where things have been challenging for him, you still look at a guy who has over 30 home runs in [615] at-bats, the extra-base power is clearly there."
Not everything was a waste from 2013.
"We won a World Series," Middlebrooks said. "I think the biggest thing for me is being healthy, on top of other things. I feel good. I left last year with a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't like last how it ended personally."
In 39 starts at third base after returning to Boston, Middlebrooks batted .276 with eight homers. The improvement was finally happening.
"I was having better at-bats," he said.
What was the key?
"The veterans that are here, I feel like they're the best in baseball," Middlebrooks said of the likes of Dustin Pedroia, Jonny Gomes and David Ortiz. "There's so much experience and success. Right next to me, I can just turn to him and ask him whatever I want. That knowledge is there and that experience is there, and there's no substitute for that.
"It helped a ton, a ton. Between Pedey and Jonny and David, it was an everyday event. It's a constant learning process."
As for the bigger, stronger Middlebrooks, he hopes that translates to much improved results and more games played.
"I feel like the stronger you are, the best base you can build [the better]," Middlebrooks said. "It's a long season, it's a grind of a season. You're going to lose weight. A lot of guys lose weight and lose a little bit of strength and I know that's going to happen to a certain extent. I'm just trying to create a good system for myself to use during the season and maybe stay where I'm at.
"I'm coming in here like I'm trying to win a job. I want to win the trust and I want to be reliable to my teammates and the coaching staff and I want to gain again in me."

A Strange Disappearance HTML version
"Wa'al," drawled he "'taint much we know about them, yet after all it may be a
trifle too much for their necks some day. Time was when nobody thought
especial ill of them beyond a suspicion or so of their being somewhat mean
about money. That was when they kept an inn there, but when the robbery of the
Rutland bank was so clearly traced to them, more than one man about here
started up and said as how they had always suspected them Shoenmakers of
being villains, and even hinted at something worse than robbery. But nothing
beyond that one rascality has yet been proved against them, and for that they
were sent to jail for twenty years as you know. Two months ago they escaped,
and that is the last known of them. A precious set, too, they are; the father being
only so much the greater rogue than the son as he is years older."
"And the inn? When was that closed?"
"Just after their arrest."
"Has'nt it been opened since?"
"Only once when a brace of detectives came up from Troy to investigate, as they
called it."
"Who has the key?"
"Ah, that's more than I can tell you."
I dared not ask how my questions differed from those of Mr. Blake, nor indeed
touch upon that point in any way. I was chiefly anxious now to return to New York
without delay; so paying my bill I thanked the landlord, and without waiting for the
stage, remounted my horse and proceeded at once to Putney where I was
fortunate enough to catch the evening train. By five o'clock next morning I was in
New York where I proceeded to carry out my programme by hastening at once to
headquarters and reporting my suspicions regarding the whereabouts of the
Schoenmakers. The information was received with interest and I had the
satisfaction of seeing two men despatched north that very day with orders to
procure the arrest of the two notable villains wherever found.

Dear Virginia,
My mother is 90 and lives nearby and she's driving me mad. She refuses to have a carer and rings me day and night insisting on my coming over to make her a cup of coffee or find her spectacles. I make her lunch every day and she comes over every afternoon but it's still not enough. I have a granddaughter to look after and my husband's ill. I also have to earn a living somehow. I feel at the end of my tether. I'm starting to hate her. But if I put my foot down she gets furious and tearful. What can I do? My brother won't have anything to do with her.
Yours sincerely,
Virginia says...
As I've often said, it takes two to create a bullying situation. One to do the bullying, the other to comply. So a bully must be stood up to.
Now, firstly I know it's extremely difficult to stand up to a mother, simply because she's your mother and when you see her some part of you is still reduced to a child-like state. Remember Bertie Wooster, who must have been at least 25, who could be reduced to pulp simply by a glare from an aunt?
The other reason it's hard is because she's old. Rightly, we've been brought up to be deferential to the old, but some old people take far too much advantage of this natural decency. At a bus queue you'll often find a perfectly able, furious old stick-wielder shoving everyone out of the way to bully her way onto the bus.
But bullying understands no other language than bullying. So you've got to dish out the same to them. It's sickening, I know, to behave out of character just to make a bully respect you, but that's how human nature works.
Personally I'd use the "sick note" tack. "I've been to my doctor, and he says I'm about to have a nervous breakdown with the stress I'm under," you say. "I have to cut down on everything. So we've come up with a plan. I ring you every day at a certain time, and you come over for one day a week. The rest of the time you have to look after yourself except in real emergencies. He's arranged for a carer to come and help you on all the other days, and there's an end of it. Either you accept this, or I'll drop dead of stress and it'll all be your fault." (If you do see your doctor, he or she will probably tell you this anyway so it won't be lying.)
If the idea of standing up to her still terrifies you, get your husband to do the dirty work. Because of her generation and because she's not related to him, she may listen meekly to a son-in-law, while shouting down a daughter.
And how dare she refuse a carer? Of course I can understand she may well not fancy having a stranger coming into her house, but after a while they won't be a stranger. It's like someone refusing a walking frame and, instead, expecting their relatives to carry them around everywhere.
If it gives you courage, before you go, have a stiff drink, or chuck a pill down your throat, whichever you prefer, march in and stand up to her. But do it. It'll be better all round for everyone in the end.

Get help now
Annie's mother is lonely and she wants to spend time with Annie, but she is not seeing things from Annie's point of view. Annie does a lot for her mother and it is too much to expect her to continue single-handed. She could make enquiries about finding a carer for her mother from agencies such as Carers' Support and then meet some carers and tell them about her mother's resistance to having a carer at home. Then she could say to her mother that she would like to introduce her to someone, "a very nice lady", who can come and help her as well as Annie. The carer could be paid from Attendance Allowance, which it sounds like her mother should be receiving. The carer and Annie would then share the care. The relationship between Annie and her mother would then improve a lot.
Janette, by email
Tell her you're ill
Your mum will live to be 100. It is the indomitable ones who do. You probably won't – with all the strain you are suffering. Tell her you are too ill to continue. Speak on the telephone but don't go belting over to her house. Arrange for a carer for her, whether she wants one or not. It sounds as if your brother has the right idea.

Next week's dilemma
Dear Virginia,
My sister married two years ago to a man who's turned out to be really useless. They have a two-year-old daughter, whom he doesn't seem to care for, and they recently separated, though they're living in the same house. My sister works full-time and I've been co-opted to do a great deal of childcare. I'm very fond of my niece and she sees me like another mother, but should I continue to play such a role in her life? I feel if I go on caring for her, they'll never get a chance to sort things out – him to move out, have regular access, my sister to get proper childcare and so on. What do you think?
Yours sincerely,
What would you advise Griselda to do?

Category:George the Hagiorite
George the Hagiorite or Giorgi Mt'ats'mindeli or Giorgi At'oneli (1009–1065) was a Georgian monk, religious writer, and translator, who spearheaded the activities of Georgian monastic communities in the Byzantine Empire. His epithets Mt'ats'mindeli and At'oneli, meaning "of the Holy Mountain" (Hagiorite) and "of Athos" (Athonite) respectively, are a reference to his association with the Iviron monastery on Mount Athos, where he served as hegumen.

"Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that
he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him
as soon as he comes."
"I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may
send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you
are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley may like you the best of

"My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty,
but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman
has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her
own beauty."
"In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of."
"But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he
comes into the neighbourhood."
"It is more than I engage for, I assure you."
"But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it
would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined
to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know, they visit no
newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit
him if you do not."
"You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be
very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure him
of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls;
though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy."

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has cited SMG @ Nassau Coliseum LLC with 16 serious safety violations, and issued $88,000 in proposed fines. The company is responsible for the upkeep and management of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, home of the New York Islanders.
The federal safety agency investigated the workplace upon receiving an employee complaint. Investigators found that workers were exposed to materials that could contain asbestos at several locations, and that SMG did not take the proper steps to avoid problems.
In addition to the asbestos-related issues, OSHA found several serious violations in terms of the working conditions and training that employees received. There were many issues with safety lights and exits, and workers were not given proper training in terms of bloodborne pathogens and chemical hazards, which are required in the field of construction. The company also failed to establish proper lockout procedures for heavy machinery.
OSHA defines a serious safety violation as one that is likely to lead to injury or death that the employer was aware of or should have known about. SMG has 15 days to comply and pay the fines, request an informal meeting with OSHA or appeal the charges.
"A key means of preventing hazards such as these is for employers to establish and maintain effective illness and injury prevention programs in which they work with their employees to proactively identify and eliminate hazards," OSHA's regional administrator in New York, Robert Kulick, said of the charges.
If you are worried about hazards or training problems within a workplace that you manage, getting safety management software is an easy way to prevent these problems. Such software will help you keep track of regulations, train employees and can help to ensure that your facility remains in compliance with OSHA.

|Doc Rivers: 'I just want us to play the right way. Overall, I think we did that'
|04.01.13 at 11:10 pm ET
Celtics coach Doc Rivers put a silver lining on a 110-100 road loss to the Timberwolves Monday night at the Target Center. It was a game in which Rivers did not have four of his projected five starters, as Rajon Rondo, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jared Sullinger were out.
The latest addition was Pierce, who was not with the team Monday due to personal reasons. Rivers said before the game he expects Pierce to be ready to go on Wednesday at home against Detroit.
Still, Rivers thought his undermanned team played hard and handled adversity the right way, starting with a lineup of Avery Bradley, Courtney Lee, Brandon Bass, Jeff Green and Chris Wilcox.
'I go into every game thinking we're going to win the game," Rivers said afterward. "We had our chances tonight. But I get it, too. I just want us to play the right way and do things our way. I think overall we did that.'
The Celtics trailed for most of the game and never got closer than eight points in the fourth quarter against a Minnesota team that had 26 wins coming in and had lost to Boston 11 straight times dating back to Feb. 11, 2007, before Garnett arrived in Boston.
The Timberwolves took full advantage as 6-foot-11 Nikola Pekovic scored 29 points, including 15 in the first quarter and 21 in the first half.
'I thought we played pretty hard," Rivers said. "We had no one to deal with that big monster they had down there. I was kidding with Longo [defensive coach Mike Longabardi], we held him to about eight points in the second half after he had 21 in the first [half].
'I thought our guys did everything I wanted them to do. One of the things I told them was that seven out of the last nine games, we've given up 100 points. We've proven we can score. We scored 100 tonight even without 50 points of our offense [in Garnett, Pierce and Rondo]. We'll be able to score but, especially with all the new guys, learning the little things on our defense, there's a we need a lot of work with them, and it showed tonight.'
|Inside job: Nikola Pekovic, Dante Cunningham dominate as T'Wolves finally beat Celtics
|at 10:21 pm ET
Another road game. Another undermanned Celtics team. And another road loss.
The Celtics, playing without Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett, were overpowered by Nikola Pekovic, Dante Cunningham and the Minnesota Timberwolves in a 110-100 loss at the Target Center Monday night. Pekovic took advantage of an undersized front court with a game-high 29 points while Cunningham added 19 points and five rebounds off the bench for Minnesota, which beat Boston for the first time in 12 meeting dating back to the pre-Garnett era in Boston.
The defenseless Celtics (38-36) fell for the second straight night and dropped their seventh in nine games. With Milwaukee beating Charlotte, the seventh-place Celtics are just 1.5 games ahead of the Bucks (one game in loss column) for eight-place. If Boston, which has eight games left, finishes eighth, they will face Miami in the first round.
What Monday's game lacked in star power it made up for in offense from unexpected places.
The Celtics were without Garnett (left foot) and Pierce (personal reasons) while the Timberwolves were still without U.S. Olympic champion Kevin Love (broken hand).
The Timberwolves (27-46) turned to Pekovic and he responded with a huge opening quarter. The 27-year-old native of Montenegro scored 15 points as Minnesota dominated the paint and took a 27-25 lead after 12 minutes.
Since acquiring Garnett – the most accomplished player in Timberwolves history – after the 2006-07 season, the Celtics were 10-0 against Minnesota. Overall, the Celtics had won 11 straight against Minnesota dating back to Boston's last loss, 109-107, on Feb. 11, 2007 in Minnesota.
Adding to Boston's misery on the inside, big men Shav Randolph and Chris Wilcox each picked up three personal fouls. Courtney Lee's three with 3:15 left in the second quarter tied the game, 45-45. But the Timberwolves came back with the next four points before Avery Bradley connected on a jumper as the game kept a quick tempo leading up to halftime. Bradley's hit 6-of-8 in the first half and single-handedly kept Boston within range with 15 first half points. Bradley led the Celtics with 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting.
Boston was manhandled in the paint in the first half. Pekovic scored 21 points in the first half, part of an effort that had Minnesota outscoring getting outscored 34-18 and allowing Minnesota to grab a 57-52 halftime lead.
The Timberwolves went on a 10-4 run midway thought the third to open their biggest lead, 80-66, before Jason Terry responded with a long two-point jumper. Terrence Williams followed that up with a baseline three to cut Minnesota's lead down to nine, 80-71, with just over three minutes left in the third.
Randolph picked up his fifth foul seconds later but stayed in the game to give the Celtics some size in the paint. As the Celtics were making a run late in the third quarter, Jeff Green came up limping, holding his left hip. Green, who played the entire first half and the first six minutes of the third quarter before finally coming out for a breather, took a knee from Pekovic to the left thigh/hip area. Green stayed in the game and was part of a 12-4 run that cut Minnesota's lead to six, 84-78, heading into the fourth. Green finished with just 10 points in 38 minutes.
With the Celtics defense forcing a near turnover, Derrick Williams hit a three to open the fourth quarter and push Minnesota's lead back to nine.
Lee came in for Green with just over 10 minutes left as Celtics trainer Ed Lacerte tended to Green's left hip. The T-Wolves went on a 7-0 run midway through the fourth that was capped by an Alexey Shved three with 7:45 left to put Minnesota up, 96-82. The Celtics could get no closer than eight the rest of the way.
The Celtics are off Tuesday before hosting the Pistons on Wednesday night at TD Garden. For more, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
|Kevin Garnett: Being called soft 'still lives in the back of our minds'
|12.06.12 at 1:51 am ET
Kevin Garnett had heard enough about how the Celtics couldn't rebound. He had heard it from the fans, media and even his head coach.
Doc Rivers put another carrot in front of his team this week when he said Kevin Love and the Timberwolves would kill the Celtics on the glass if they didn't bring energy Wednesday night. Safe to say, the message hit home with Garnett and the Celtics, who outrebounded Minnesota, 45-41 in a 104-94 win at TD Garden.
"I think what you see here is that we as a team are trying to be better at rebounding," Garnett said. "Doc's been on our [butt] about giving up offensive rebounds, playing tougher, establishing something. Obviously, being called soft is not something that you want to be called. It still lives in the back of our minds. Still a work in progress."
'This is a very good team we played tonight," Garnett said beating a Timberwolves team that handled the Sixers a night before in Philadelphia. "They put it to Philly the night before and obviously they played back to back, but a very good team. Kevin Love has been a cast over there and it was by no means an easy game for us.'
Garnett finished with 18 points and 10 rebounds as his energy and attack mentality against Kevin Love led the way.
"When I'm out there hoopin', I'm not really conscious of when it comes to defense," Garnett said. "I know where my energy needs to be. I know my primary role. But I'm efficient. I know what I'm doing. I try to be aggressive when they need to be."
Love had 19 points and 13 rebounds but the Celtics we able to control the Minnesota front court.
'We were aggressive, and we were aggressive from the early part of the game," Garnett said. "We established a post early on. I thought defensively we played with a lot of energy. We made them go to their second and third options which is something they don't like to do, but we did a decent job on Kevin. He obviously had a double double but for the most part we slowed him down a little bit and controlled the tempo. Having Rondo back was big for us, I thought he brought a lot of big energy. He was excited that he was back and probably fed off that."
|Fast Break: Whole lotta Kevin Love can't stop Celtics
|12.05.12 at 9:52 pm ET
Maybe Celtics coach Doc Rivers should give his aging stars the day off more often.
Two days after resting the over-36 crowd for a practice, Rivers watched Kevin Garnett (18 points, 10 rebounds), Jason Terry (17 points, 5 rebounds) and Paul Pierce (18 points, 4 rebounds) lead his C's to a 104-94 win over the visiting Timberwolves. Of course, Rajon Rondo (17 points, 11 assists) returning from suspension didn't hurt.
A whole lot of Kevin Love (19 points, 13 rebounds) couldn't even help the T-Wolves (8-9), whose porous defense helped the Celtics improve to 10-8 on the season and 5-4 at the Garden.
Minny driver: Last season, Garnett said he has "nothing positive to say" about his former NBA home, and he clearly played with an added edge against Minnesota. Not that Garnett doesn't play with an edge every night, but he had a little something extra in the tank for the Timberwolves, starting 6-of-7 from the field and scoring 12 points in his first 11 minutes — his lone miss a failed shot clock buzzer-beater. He finished with his third double-double in his last five games to go along with four assists and an infinite number of dance moves during Gino Time.
Viejos amigos: Off the bench, the T-Wolves matched "6-foot" guard J.J. Barea against former Mavericks teammate Terry, who took advantage of his old friend. The Celtics guard made four of his six shots in the first half (1-2 3P), taking nine points, three rebounds and two assists into the break. He finished with 17 points on 10 shots.
Return of Rondo: Depending on how you look at it, Rondo either extended his streak of double-digit assists to 38 in games that he finishes or he just started a renewed march towards Magic Johnson's record of 46 straight games with 10 or more assists. Either way, Rondo returned to form after his two-game suspension for shoving Kris Humphries into the crowd. Apparently, his Mexican vacation served him well.
Bearing gifts: As usual, the Celtics were in a giving mood, turning the ball over five times in their last six possessions before the half, including the final four. As a result, they turned what was once a seven-point lead into a 51-47 deficit at the break — thanks to Minnesota's 10 fast-break points on a perfect 5-of-5 transition attempts. They cleaned it up a bit in the second half but still finished with 16 turnovers.
No Love lost: Leading up to the game, Pierce said, 'Our main objective is to try and slow [Kevin Love] down. He's shown he can dominate the game with his offensive rebounding and defensive rebounding. That's definitely an emphasis.' Easier said than done. Midway through the third quarter, Love already had his double-double.
Key unlocked: Not only did Love have his way around the basket, but the Timberwolves combined for 50 points in the paint. Fellow bigs Nikola Pekovic and Dante Cunningham also combined for 21 points and 16 rebounds. Somehow, though, the Celtics out-rebounded Minnesota by a 45-41 margin.
|Rajon Rondo messes with reporters, admits time away from Celtics 'was difficult'
|12.04.12 at 3:58 pm ET
WALTHAM — Rajon Rondo said he really got away during his league-imposed two-game suspension for his role in the brawl last Wednesday with the Nets.
"I went to Mexico for a couple of days and watched the games," said Rondo, who was immediately asked if he was being serious. "It was cool."
Rondo, who practiced with the team on Monday and Tuesday, said he just wanted to give his body a chance to rest. Team officials had no knowledge of Rondo traveling outside the country, leading to the conclusion that Rondo was simply joking with reporters.
"Why not? Had days off, allow my body to get a chance to rest," Rondo said, insisting again that he went south of the border. "I wanted to be out there with my teammates but obviously a two-game suspension, and I was glued in front of the TV.
"Hopefully, I don't feel too winded [Wedensday]. I've been off for about a week. We'll see [Wednesday]."
The Celtics return to action on Wednesday night at 7:30, when they host Kevin Love and the Timberwolves at TD Garden. The Celtics went 1-1 without Rondo, beating Portland Friday easily before blowing a 17-point lead Saturday and losing in Milwaukee.
"We moved the ball very well without me," Rondo said. "Guys played great, guys stepped up. Courtney [Lee] played well. We got off to a great start in Milwaukee but our defense slipped in terms of our blitz pick-and-roll defense. Other than that, the guys did a great job."
Rondo said there was no lesson learned from the suspension. Read the rest of this entry »
|Rockets get 18th overall pick for Chase Budinger, Lior Eliyahu
|06.26.12 at 1:50 pm ET
The Rockets have acquired the 18th overall pick in the NBA draft from the Timberwolves in return for Chase Budinger and the rights to Lior Eliyahu according to multiple reports.
The deal gives the Rockets the 14th, 16th and 18th overall picks in Thursday's draft, which gives them plenty of ammunition for more trades. The Rockets have been linked to a potential deal involving the Kings' fifth overall pick in the draft, as well another deal involving the Raptors' eighth overall pick.
The Rockets are reportedly using these trades to make a strong push towards acquiring Dwight Howard from the Magic despite the fact that Howard intends to become a free agent at the end of the season.
Budinger, who was the 44th overall pick in the 2009 draft, averaged 9.6 points in 22.4 minutes per game last season. The 6-foot-7 small forward shot 40.2 percent from three-point range last season and is likely to help a Timberwolves team that struggled to score from the wing. Eliyahu is a 6-foot-10, 232 pound forward who was originally taken with the 44th overall pick in the 2006 draft by the Magic and plays professionally in Israel.
|Kevin Garnett: 'I have nothing positive to say' about Minnesota Timberwolves
|03.30.12 at 2:36 pm ET
On Friday night, the Celtics are shooting for their fourth straight victory and a sixth win in their last seven games when they travel to Minneapolis, the city Kevin Garnett called home for his first 12 NBA seasons.
Loyalty means everything to Garnett, and as we learned following Wednesday's defeat of the Jazz, that devotion moved to Boston from Minnesota when the Timberwolves sent him to the Celtics in 2007 for Al Jefferson, Ryan Gomes, Sebastian Telfair, Gerald Green, Theo Ratliff, cash considerations, their 2009 first-round draft pick and Minnesota's 2009 first-round pick that they had traded to Boston in the Ricky Davis–Wally Szczerbiak deal.
"It's always special to come back to true fans and sort of your foundation, but as far as that franchise, I have nothing positive to say, so I'll just let it be that," said Garnett. "I think Kevin Love is playing at a high level. I think he's rejuvenated the city as far as basketball goes. Other than that, nothing else."
To say Love is playing at a high level might be an understatement, as he's averaging 37.3 points and 16.3 rebounds over his last four games and playing himself into the MVP discussion. There's been plenty of comparisons between Garnett vs. Love, but recently Garnett has guarded opposing centers, so it will be interesting to see if the two actually square off head-to-head in Friday night's matchup.
Speaking of Garnett at the five position, as colleague Paul Flannery noted, he could be the perfect fill-in for the Celtics at center for the next two or three years. That would allow the Celtics to remain competitive with Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and whoever else while maintaining some flexibility for the next round of superstar free agents in two or three years, when the C's could make a run at someone like — you guessed it — Love.

Good Points
A good value starter kit when bought second hand that it's still possible to get a nice sound out of and use for practicing and gigging.
Bad Points
Not worth buying new, if you can afford to, just buy a better kit second hand and re-skin it.
General Comments
As far as starter drum kits go the Premier Artist Birch does a fine job, it's quite versatile, can sound very nice when tuned well and is very easy to play. I'm left handed and right footed and still can't figure out which kit set up is best so i have a Premier Genista set up left handed and a Premier Artist Birch set up right handed. It works out quite nicely for having jams with my friends because they're mostly right handed so can play the Artist Birch whilst i use the Genista. I have a terrible ear while i'm playing so i'm never quite sure what it sounds like so listening to them play i've gained quite a fondness for the Artist Birch, especially for the bass drum.

Chelsea <firstname.lastname@example.com> :
You can use -statsby- or just calculate directly using a loop over
individuals with -foreach- or using time series operators and the
formula for regression. But why do you think a linear trend is
appropriate? Or are you planning to transform the depvar first? More
importantly, why do you want the individual trends? Start with
-xtmixed- regressions of the depvar on a spline in time interacted
with the dummy for contraception. But contraception is not
exogenous--do you have some strategy for causal inference? I.e. how
do you know any observed difference is the result of contraception
versus some other characteristic associated with contraception?

Summer 2006 - Volume III, Issue 3
Download the images discussed in this essay Take a closer look. Zoom in and examine the lacy tendrils of color that form each of the compositions in this richly-colored collection of Jean Petion, a Haitian-born artist. Upon examining the connected pattern of concentric circles and the curly, whimsically styled lines, it might be easy to imagine other such lighthearted work by the same artist. Take a closer look, however, and it becomes clear that Petion's message is as strong as his brilliantly-colored palette. Every line in "Poeme a Erzulie" forms a letter; the letters connect to form words. A cleverly obscured story lives within Petion's capricious world of color and texture. The words are only occasionally clear, leaving the viewer to wonder at their meaning and allowing the words and letters themselves to revert to the individual marks that compose the picture into its whole shimmering image.
In the drawing entitled "Poeme a Legba," invoking Legba, the Haitian God who is the keeper of the crossroads between the living and the dead, Petion includes symbols of the voudou spirit, combining both the social history and spiritual iconography of his ancestors' country. Close examination of "Poeme a Legba," once again reveals an image composed of text, a style that Petion calls "overwriting." Perhaps this overwriting references the strategy of enslaved Africans in the new world of overlaying images of African gods with icons of Catholicism—which ultimately allowed them to worship their gods while forced to attend Catholic masses by their masters. The not-quite-tropicality of Petion's palette celebrates Haitian life and landscape, and the forms of hearts and circles belie the serious mystical nature of voudou ritual.
Petion's composition "For every three... four are. . ." refers to the shameful statistic that for every three black men in college, four are incarcerated or in prison. A collection of disembodied heads fill the surface like so much wallpaper, with three ghostly heads depicted as outlines, and each of four others crossed out at random with a thick white X. The image itself is politically and racially charged and again, the ground is composed of layered text, leading the viewer to assume its subject. To illustrate such images with a confrontational title adds weight to the picture itself, and is an indication of the emotional energy that Petion pours into his drawings.
These disembodied black heads are reminiscent of the controversial silhouettes by New York artist Kara Walker, who depicts every kind of horrific violence perpetrated upon enslaved Africans and African-Americans by their white owners—in her case focusing on the American south. Like Petion, Walker's compositions are accompanied by derisive titles meant to shock and anger, as they identify the crime, while simultaneously denying personality to the nameless, faceless victims she portrays.
Two of Petion's compositions in this collection back away from the political and are more formal explorations of color, recalling the richly layered color-field paintings of Mark Rothko(Link). The provocatively titled "So Black and Blue" is a patient exercise in composition, and the aptly title "A Formal Exercise" is just that, exploring the softer ocean of blues, greens, and pinks in a quiet mood.
Petion's approaches to drawing appear to be as varied appears as his drawings are in mood and message. Take a close look. Return to the Journal of Pedagogy, Pluralism and Practice Main Page

Hey everyone! My name is Tony and on October 7th, 2012, I purchased my very first Subaru, a 2013 SWP WRX Sedan!
Well, here's a little bit about me:
I've loved cars and motor cycles since I was a child, my love and passion has stayed with me throughout all the years. I am a service technician at Cadillac, 20 years old, and live in Texas, the DFW area. For several years I've dreamed of owning a WRX, and finally I had an opportunity to purchase one! I have a ton of plans for my WRX, and can't wait to see my project and dream come to life!
The Car:
