Jon & Kate Gosselin Divorce Finalized
Hopefully, this marks the beginning of the end of the Gosselins as persons of blogging interest.
TMZ reports that a judge has put his John Hancock on legal papers that have officially ended the marriage between reality television stars, Jon and Kate Gosselin.
Kate says of the outcome, "I am very relieved that our divorce has been finalized, and I look forward to the New Year, focusing on our children." Kate's lawyer explains, "Our client will continue to reside with all eight of her children in the former marital home."
What a lovely way for the Gosselin family to end a perfectly fabulous year of marital unraveling.

About 15 local residents gathered at Community Centre 55 last month to share their preferences for 'no name' park, located north of Gerrard Street East, halfway between Main Street and Victoria Park Avenue.
Dan Connolly from Parks, Forestry and Recreation's Capital department and landscape architect Jim Melvin from PMA Landscape Architects presented options to the group, including variations on potential picnic shelters and playground equipment.
Suggestions from those at the meeting included the possibility of coin-operated barbecues, which are common in Australia and New Zealand.
Melvin pointed out the gas lines required would add significant cost to the project. "It requires infrastructure that isn't in this park," he said.
Ward 32 Councillor Mary-Margaret McMahon suggested the possibility of a fire pit, such as the one at Orchard Park. She also mentioned the brick ovens implemented at Dufferin Grove Park, which are used to bake bread and for community pizza nights.
The lack of infrastructure would also preclude any wading pools or water features. Due to soil remediation, services can't be installed more than a few feet below the topsoil, according to Connolly.
"Water is really expensive, and we're not sure if we can do it in this park," added McMahon.
The meeting concluded with residents marking down their preferences on the varied shelters, furniture and play equipment presented on a series of illustrations provided by Melvin.
Though the park has yet to be properly named, the plan is for a two-year phased installation, with a picnic pavilion, paving and furnishing to be built this year, and a playground set for 2015.

So we're off! CeBIT 2007 is officially up and running and – pleasantly mild weather aside – manic as usual. Day one brings an unusual headline grabber: Samsung's 'Q1 Ultra' UMPC.
Of course if you read my show preview this may not be entirely surprising since I stated the event would be dominated by the 'second generation device': a theme whereby HD DVD, Blu-ray and the UMPC – released with much fan fare in 2006 – would finally target the mass market. This is when a format ultimately sinks or swims and, surprisingly, the much derided UMPC now looks to have a strong front crawl.
Unveiled to a packed convention hall, the 'Q1 Ultra' (the official name for the leaked Q2) made impressive improvements on the mediocre Q1. Samsung firmed up what we already knew: 7in WSVGA (1,204 x 600) touch screen, Vista operating system, WiBRRO, HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, wireless b/g, Ethernet, dual camera (1.3MP and VGA for video calls), finger print reader.
It also told us things we didn't: a complete Aero experience, reduced weight (690g verses the Q1's 780g), more compact dimensions (227.5 x 123.9 x 22.9mm), increased screen brightness (from 200 nits to 300 nits), 1GB DDR2 RAM and – vitally – a boosted battery life which guarantees a minimum of four hours heavy use and up to 10 hours using an extended battery.
Sadly, it wouldn't give away which Intel CPU was at its hub (though Intel EMEA Sales VP, Christian Morales, claimed it consumed less than half the Q1's Celeron M ULV – so we expect more on this later) or what hopped up graphics gave such a mobile package Aero capability. A price tag was also lacking.
In much the same way a father shuns a rogue son, Samsung then briefly wheeled out the 'Q1P'. Described, rather frankly, by one company rep as a 'basic facelift', the upgraded Q1 will still ship with Windows XP as default but an Aero-less Vista option is available. A faster 1GHz Pentium M CPU is onboard while battery life is up to a potential six hours thanks to an optional six-cell battery, screen brightness gets a boost to 280 nits and there's 1GB RAM. It was then quickly pushed back out of sight.
Right, that's one company of over 3,000 partially covered. Time to get back out there...

I am considering to attemp my first top chop on a pickup later this winter,and I am wondering if anyone has any step by step instructions on how to do so? I have never done this, so I would like to get as much info as possible before I start. I have been doing a little reading on the subject, but don't know if I have enough info. I would assume that once you screw it up it's typically pretty hard to correct. I have a "roof donor" from a truck exactly like mine. One thing I am concerned about is the fact that there are two small ( side by side )windows in the back of the cab, and was wondering if you generally cut through the center of the windows, or do the cut below or above the window???I thought I saw an article from HALLOWEEN KING a few weeks ago on this topic, but can't find anything now. Any info on this topic would be GREATLY appreciated. THANKS.....
If you want me to help I'm going to need a bit more information to go on. What kind of truck what year of truck how much do you want to lower the lid your bodywork abilities and available tools. Let me know and I'll be glad to help to the best of my ability without actually being there.
To answer your question on the rear windows its actually dependant on what your wanting to do with the rear window where you would cut it.I need to know what you want to do and what you want it to look like before I can tell you how you should go about it. You are definatly correct about the difficulty and results. If you are a ameture and have never done anything of this sort be exstremely carful because its not something to take lightly. Feel free to e-mail or PM me iof you wish, happy to do what I can.
Rule of thumb: Make the meatl meet the glass. Don't fit the glass to the metal.
The rest is body work.
Hey Halloween King, I emailed you with some additional info,Just wondering if you recieved it yet. Let me know when you do. P.S. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
Yep I gots it man! I'm workin on it right now actually, might take me a few, I type with one hand
dont do it
okay, so dont believe me. i have seen the articles in magazines on doing it and it boils down to "bondo is your friend". i have watched a bud in reno do the job on a number of vehicles. he is a panel pounder, and doesnt use any bondo. NOTHING IN THIS WORLD IS MORE TIME CONSUMING!! it's the hardest thing he does, and he had to spend 5 years as an apprentice to get there. if
you like bondo, then you can do it. if you dont. dont even think about it.

Got your message,,,,THANKS H.K. P.S. If you want to send anyone else my pictures to help them with their chop top, help yourself.THANKS AGAIN.
I also would like a copy of the pics if possible and thanks in advance.
Just chop it. if it looks like crap you have a truck thats a convertible. 1-2 years ago i bought a '46 plymouth(4 door) for $350, on my winter break i planned it one night the next day we cut the top off and the next day i tacked it together(3 in. chop) it's been sitting there ever since unfinished though(i've got a new project-1967 chevy pickup slammed short bed)my dad hit a deer with it so he gave it to me, needs hood and fan, then she'll be road worthy again. David
You have to be optimistic. It won't look like crap if you take enough time. Remember the old saying " If you can't find the time to do it right the first time, when are you going to find the time to do it again". It would seem to me that it takes more patience than work.
Grape and all who wanted the shots please send me an e-mail with the subject CHOP TOP. My adress is in my profile.

The Port of Houston Authority accounted for 17% of the total U.S. container trade with Brazil last year, according to statistics compiled from the Journal of Commerce.
Cid Silveira is executive director of the Brazil-Texas Chamber of Commerce, based in West Houston. He credits the strength of the trade relationship to Houston's position as the global energy capital.
"Brazil has been a significant partner with the Port of Houston for a while now, I think mostly because of the oil and gas industry, naturally, [and] steel, steel products. And we expect that to increase in the next five years."
Brazil is only the tenth-largest foreign source of oil imports for the U.S. But it's expected to grow in importance as it develops its offshore resources and as production drops in the older fields of Mexico and Venezuela. Houston is also likely to gain from Brazil's demand for petrochemicals, thanks to the multibillion-dollar refurbishing of chemical plants on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Idolatrous paganism and rank heresy are two expressions that immediately came to mind as I read the following article on the Pope's recent visit to Pompeii, Italy. Here are a few of the opening paragraphs from the article:
POMPEII, Italy, OCT. 19, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI placed the world in Mary's hands during his one-day visit to the shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary in Pompeii, near Naples.
The Pope's leading of the Supplication of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary, a prayer written by Blessed Bartolo Longo (1841-1926) was one of the high points of this 12th pastoral trip in Italy.
"We implore you to have pity today on the nations that have gone astray, on all Europe, on the whole world, that they might repent and return to your heart," the text of the prayer reads.
With the words of Bartolo, the Pontiff turned to Mary, saying: "If you will not help us because we are ungrateful and unworthy children of your protection, we will not know to whom to turn."
In a gesture of filial love, the Pope then offered the Madonna a golden rose.
Return to Mary's heart?
Don't know who to turn to?
Is he serious? Does the Pope not own a Bible? Chapter and verse please!

Stories from Quick Reads and France
Documentary 'Too Black To Be French' Wants to Start an Honest Conversation on Race in France
"Too Black to Be French" is a documentary made by Isabelle Boni-Claverie, a French-Ivorian writer and filmmaker. Boni-Claverie's goal is to provide unexplored ideas and start a conversation on French society's inequalities and discrimination.
The documentary includes commentary and analyses from renowned Francophone thinkers such as Eric Fassin, Pap Ndiaye, Achille Mbembe, Patrick Simon and Eric Chalaye, along with testimonies from anonymous people of color. Some of the main arguments in the documentary are the conspicuous lack of minorities in the public media sphere, the lack of acknowledgment of colonial history in the fabric of the nation and the absence of quantitative data on discrimination at the workplace.
The documentary ignited a trending hashtag #TuSaisQueTesNoirEnFranceQuand (Translation: You know you are black in France when…) on Francophone social media.
Help Wanted to Make Sure the U.N. Climate Change Conference COP 21 Will Result in Concrete Actions
The year 2015 is especially important for our planet's climate. One of the highlights is the 21st Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) that will take place from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11 in Paris. Diplomats from all over the world will gather to discuss global policies and France is intent on making a success out of the event.
Civil society groups, as well as journalists and bloggers are also gearing up to push for what they see as a last chance or a first step for our planet's survival, as summed up by French blogger Jack Tenin on Club Mediapart.
If you are longing to be an active part of the discussion on the side of the civil society and you are willing to come to Paris during the event, you could participate in the event at a new media information factory that includes a co-working space and can provide affordable places to stay, as well as connection to the venue.
French economist, environmentalist, journalist and blogger Anne-Sophie Novel is creating just such a place, which her team named "Place to B". She expands on the project in the following video :
The project aims at manufacturing a different storytelling on climate change, by
- QUESTIONNING the misconceptions of our times on the climate and sustainability topic with artists, journalists, scientists, bloggers, hackers, poets…
- COMMENTING the news and debates happening simultaneously at COP21.
- CO-CREATING new methods and tools to change positively the storytelling around «climate».
- CO-HABITING with 600 storytellers from all over the blue planet and create new connexions.
A youth hostel, St Christopher Inn, located near the Gare du Nord, with its ground floor Belushi's bar, will exclusively host Place to B throughout the COP21.
Registration for Place to B is here. You may even meet some Global Voices contributors during this busy and massive event.
Photoblog Documents Eviction of Migrants' Makeshift Camp in Paris
"Humanely…" That is the sarcastic headline of a photoblog that narrates how the French police dismantled and evicted a large makeshift camp of migrants in Paris starting June 2. The camp occupied an open space underneath a railway viaduct near the Porte de la Chapelle in the northern part of the city. By June 6, several dozens of migrants still lacked accommodation.
France Launchs National Campaign to Curb Racist and Anti-Semitic Acts
On April 17, the French government unveiled a national campaign to combat racism and anti-Semitism in France. The objective of the campaign is to fight all prejudices, raise awareness and get citizens engaged in the conversation.
One hundred euros will be allocated over three years to educate and promote cultural diversity. The hashtag #planantiracisme (the plan against racism) was the number one trending topic on Twitter on the day of the announcement.
According to the Report on Racism and Antisemitism by the Commission Nationale Consultative des Droits de l'Homme CNCDH (National Comission on Human Rights), there was a 30% increase in racist acts in 2014 (from 1,274 in 2013 to 1,662 in 2014). Anti-Semitic acts went from 423 in 2013 to 851 in 2014, including the attack on the kosher store after the Charlie Hebdo shooting.
#JesuisKenyan Trends in Francophone Social Media to Show Support for Garissa Victims
On April 2, 2015, at least 147 people were killed by gunmen on the campus of Garissa University in Kenya, according to Kenya's National Disaster Operation Centre (KRCS). The center also reports that 79 people were injured and 587 people were evacuated at this stage.
The suspected mastermind of the massacre is the Somalia-based Al-Shabaab militant group, which claimed responsibility for the attack.
The tragic accounts of the shooting by survivors triggered a show of solidarity worldwide. The francophone world, still weary after the Charlie Hebdo attack, responded by showing solidarity with the Garissa victims on social networks with the hashtag #JesuisKenyan (to mirror the hashtag #JesuisCharlie). It was the second most trending topics on Twitter in France on April 3.
Here are a few of those posts:

A March in Solidarity with Migrants Who Perished Trying to Reach Europe
"Europe is fighting its own make-believe enemy": This is the message that a dozen of associations in defense of migrants wanted to convey when they organized a human chain between the tramway station "Droits de l'Homme (Human Rights)" and the EU Parliament station in Strasbourg on November 26. In order to put Human Rights back at the core of Europe" and oppose the policy adopted by the European Agency of Border Control Frontex, protesters held signs that narrate the tragic plight of migrants trying to reach Europe. For the past 20 years, more than 20,000 migrants have died or disappeared trying to make the journey from their hometowns into Europe.
Here are a few photos of the event :
An Election Film Week in Lebanon to Say #NoToExtension of Parliament Term
What better than the seventh art to mobilize? In another effort to push for Elections in Lebanon and prevent an extension of the Parliamentary term #NoToExtension, Lebanese NGO Nahwa Al Muwatiniya (meaning Towards Citizenship) held an "Election Film Week".
Six works from Chile, Iran, China, Ghana and the US, varying between documentaries and fiction are being screened between August 28 to September 2 at Cinema Metropolis (a theater promoting indie movies) in collaboration with the Lebanese Association for Democratic Elections (LADE).
On the Facebook Page of the event, where the programme is listed, the organisers note:
We have been struggling with a fragile democracy in Lebanon, ever since its independence. Today, more than in the darkest days of the civil war, the foundations of our democracy are at risk. But we're not alone in this. The world is full of stories about the human struggle for self-determination and democratic participation. Broadening our perspective serves our effort to improve the quality of the political system in Lebanon.
The films we picked share stories from different countries, all which portray the election process. Collectively, they reveal a combination of human values and ideals and the efforts politicians make to win an election.
To see a glimpse of the movies, check out the trailer posted on Nahwa Al Muwatiniya Youtube Page.
The current parliament extended its four-year stay for the first time in May 2013. And like a year before, various parties are supporting the move this time around under the pretext of security conditions.
The end of the parliamentary term comes amidst a period of turmoil in Lebanon. The country has lacked a president since May 25 after parliament failed to elect a new head of state and top officials could not reach political consensus. A general strike by syndicates demanding to approve a new enhanced wage scale for civil servants has threatened to paralyze the entire country. Lebanon has experience instability on both Syrian and Israeli borders after soldiers were kidnapped by members of Islamic militant organization ISIS.
How the Merger of Two of its Largest Providers May Transform the French Telco Market
The recent merger between French telcos SFR and Numericable is but another example of the broader trend that dominates today's telecommunications market: operators are seeking to integrate their products in order to respond to their business clients' growing desire for streamlined communications solutions. This merger also threatens the dominance of Orange, which – until now- has enjoyed a privileged position among corporate and business clients.
The merger is a major operation which is poised to radically transform the corporate telecommunications market. Each of the 2 companies already has a significant individual market presence and there have been no comparable upheavals since 2005, when Cegetel and Neuf Telecom merged to form Neuf Cegetel (which then became a subsidiary of SFR). Since 2010, many players have been 'merged out' of the telco market (the Club Internet, AOL, Telecom Italia and Cegetel brands, for example, have all been retired). This has been the market's way of responding to operators' growing desire to at once be present in both the fixed-line and the mobile markets. The merger between SFR and Numericable falls neatly in line with this trend – it would appear that the companies are trying to merge in order to meet consumer expectations concerning price and simplicity.
This market pattern has also been driven by the fact that operators need to invest heavily in new infrastructure to maintain their quality of service. The SFR-Numericable merger, for example, will help both of the merging companies to meet their needs in this field. Lionnel Piar, Telecommunications vice-president at CGI Consulting stated :
Industriellement, ce qui est intéressant dans le rapprochement, c'est qu'on a d'un côté un SFR qui a plutôt des offres mobiles, et de l'autre un Numericable plus sur la partie câble. Avec ce rapprochement, on est plus dans la notion d'opérateur global qui va être capable de proposer l'ensemble des services à une entreprise.
From an industry perspective, the interesting thing about this merger is that, on the one hand, you have SFR which offers mainly mobile products; and, on the other hand, you have Numericable which is more about cable. With this merger, we are moving towards the notion of a unified operator which can single-handedly offer corporate clients a full suite of services.
And it is precisely this new notion that threatens the hegemonic dominance that Orange currently enjoys on the B-to-B market . Orange currently holds a 70% market share and, while SFR and Numericable currently hold 20% between them, the newly merged entity is hoping to attain 30%.
China's National Mahjong Team Loses To Japan
Mahjong, originated from China is considered a national game. The fact that China's national mahjony team lost the the fifth Open Mahjong Championship in France and finished in 37th place out of 51 teams came as a shock to the country. Worse, the individual title was claimed by a Japanese competitor. Nanfang.com translated an article from New Beijing Daily on the reasons behind China's defeat.
Why You Should Pick France as Your 2nd Favorite Team at the 2014 World Cup
Graham MacAree at SB Nation posts an entertaining comment on why one should pick the French national team as their 2nd favorite team after their home team at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil :
You'll want to watch France games because if they're on, they'll be lovely to watch, and if they're off it's downright hilarious. The way to get the most out of a combustible team is to follow them closely enough to enjoy all the details but keep emotionally far away enough so that the explosion doesn't singe you too badly.
MacAree also mentions that the French team trolled Usain Bolt after they beat Jamaica in a warm-up match. Here is a photo on twitter of the aforementioned trolling from French player Paul Pogba's twitter feed:

Herve Cornara's Relatives Want Him to Be Remembered as a Great Guy, Not the Beheaded Victim of a Lunatic
Herve Cornara was the manager of ATC, a delivery company in Chassieu in the suburbs of Lyon, France. More importantly, he was a father of a young man and loved by his relatives and colleagues.
Cornara was killed and beheaded by Yassin Salhi next to a ISIS flag at a factory in Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, in the Isère region. Salhi is a truck driver and father of three. He was born in Pontarlier, France; his mother now lives in Morocco and his late father was Algerian.
Cornara's relatives describe him as a loving father and great colleague:
Il était investi, c'était quelqu'un qui voulait toujours aider les gens. Je vais continuer ce qu'il a commencé
He was invested in his community. I will continue the work he started
Pascal Servino, a friend of Cornara, adds:
C'était un homme affectueux, généreux. Il était strict sur le quartier : dès que quelque chose n'allait pas, il se mobilisait pour résoudre les problèmes. Il va nous manquer.
He was an affectionate, generous man. He was relentless when it came to the community: when something went wrong, he would get involved right away to solve the issue. He will be missed.
Candlelight Vigil for the 23 Victims of Boko Haram Suicide Bombings in Chad
Two suicide bombings killed at least 23 people Monday (June 15) in Chad's capital N'djamena. Chad government stated that four attackers belonged to extremist group Boko Haram and were killed by the blast which targeted police. More than 100 people were also injured in the incidents. Chad has committed his army against Boko Haram in Nigeria. Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has repeatedly threatened to attack Chadian interests before monday's bombings. Chadian activist Abdelkerim Yacoub Koundougoumi Egrey announces that a candlelight vigil to show solidarity with the victims will take place in Paris, place de la république on June 16 at 18h.
Former French Defense Minister Finds Excuses for the Alleged Rape of Central African Children by French Soldiers
Afrique Info reports that JP Chevènement, a former defense minister of France, stated on public radio Europe 1 on May 3 that the challenging conditions that French soldiers face in the Central African Republic could explain "behavior of that kind" (see video above). Chevènement was referring to the allegation of child sexual abuse by French troops posted in the Central African Republic. The allegations surfaced after disciplinary proceedings were taken against a United Nations employee accused of leaking the allegations to the French authorities.
Another Shark Attack Claims a Teenage Surfer on Reunion Island, Post-Attack Policy in Effect
A 13-year-old boy was killed by a shark on April 12 near Les Aigrettes on Reunion island.
Elio Canestri was a promising surfer and a member of the local surfing club. The local community is shocked by the tragic news. A Facebook page was set up to commemorate his life, with already more than 3,500 fans within a few hours.
Soon after the events, the local authorities activated the post-attack measures, which include specific fishing targets in the area.
Unfortunately, shark attacks have become a repetitive event on Reunion island: There have been 16 shark attacks off the island since 2011. In February this year, island authorities extended a law prohibiting swimming and other water-based activities except in special areas in response to the high number of attacks. The measure has resulted in a dramatic decline in tourism.
Gun Attack Kills 5 in Bamako as Mali Tries to Consolidate Peace
A shooting in a restaurant in Bamako, capital city of Mali, claimed the lives of five people on Friday night, March, 6. The attack took place around midnight in a restaurant called La Terrasse in Downtown Bamako and a dozen people are seriously injured. Two suspects are in detention and are being interrogated by security forces. A local officer reports that the two individuals were armed and hooded. One burst into the restaurant and opened fire. Three Malians, one French and one Belgian were killed. A local blogger posted a video of police forces as they come to investigate the crime scene:
Global Voices contributor Marc- André Boisvert wrote on Twitter that such an attack was inevitable, given that Mali is still trying to re-establish peace in the northern region:
We all knew it would happen in #Bamako. We all knew that the rue du #BlaBla would be a target. But we are still shocked #Mali
— Marc-André Boisvert (@boisvertma) March 7, 2015
Philippe Paoletta, a resident of Bamako, agrees with Marc-André:
Everyone always thought this was bound to happen at some point in #bamako. Doesn't make it any less shocking or horrifying. Rip
— Phil Paɔlεtta (@philinthe_) March 7, 2015
All our thoughts are with the victims of the attack.

Eerie Similarities in Deaths Provoked by Police Brutality in Staten Island and Paris
Eric Garner was a 44-year-old African-American man who died following an attempted arrest by the NY Police Department. On July 17, 2014, when police officers attempted to arrest Garner, he had broken up a fight. Garner who suffered from asthma was wrestled to the ground. Medical examiners concluded chokehold and chest compression as the primary causes of Garner's death and Garner's heart problems, obesity and asthma as additional factors. Here is a video of the accident [Warning: Graphic Images]
A few days later (28 August) in Roissy, France, Abdelhak Goradia, a 51 year old Algerian citizen also died inside a police van. The police was carrying Goradia to the airport to be deported back to Algeria when they initially affirmed that he died of a heart attack. Justice department corrected that assessment and stated that Goradia died from choking on his own gastric fluids. His lawyer stated that Goradia called him to say that he was taken away in handcuffs and a head gear. Goradia was previously charged with theft, petty crimes and violence.

The first footage of the plane crash are now available thanks to a Burkinabe soldier present on the site of the wreck near Gossi, in Northern Mali. There are no survivors among the 118 people on board, including more than 50 French nationals. Algerian website Algérie Focus reports in French that:
Cette vidéo montre des débris éparpillés et broyés. La zone sablonneuse a été noircie par le crash. Sur cette vidéo, il est pratiquement impossible de repérer les pièces maîtresses de l'avion au milieu des débris.
The video shows scattered and crushed debris. The sand at the site was blackened by the crash. In the video, it is virtually impossible to identify the key components of the aircraft amid the debris.
Debunking Rumors that Algerian Fans Burned Down a Church in Lyon, France after World Cup Win
On June 22 at the World Cup 2014 in Brazil, Algeria defeated South Korea 4-2 to keep its chance of qualifying to the knock-out round alive. Scenes of joy were numerous in Algeria [fr] but also in France where a dynamic Algerian community resides.
The joy was tempered by rumors that a church in Lyon, France was burned down during the celebration. The rumors turned out to be a complete lie spread by extreme right groups based on erroneous photos. Adrien Sénécat explains the details of his fact-checking on the story [fr] :
Peu après le coup de sifflet final dimanche, des tweets ont indiqué qu'une église aurait brûlé dans le quartier de la Duchère, à Lyon. Message notamment relayé par le Bloc Identitaire et des sites proches de l'extrême-droite. Sauf que l'église en question n'a pas brûlé, comme l'ont signalé plusieurs internautes sur les réseaux sociaux. Une église a en revanche bien été incendiée à la Duchère… mais en 2006 (et sans aucun rapport avec un match de l'Algérie).
Shortly after the final whistle on Sunday, some tweets suggested that a church had burned down in the area of Duchère in Lyon, France. These tweets were relayed by Bloc Identitaire and other similar extreme-right group websites. The thing is, the church was still intact, as reported by several twitter users.A Church in Duchère was lit on fire … but in 2006 (and it had no relation whatsoever with an Algerian football).
What is Really Ailing France ?
The inability of the French economy to rebound from the Euro zone crisis, the loss of corporate champions like Alstom and Arcelor and the forceful rise of the far right party (Front National) at the latest European elections [fr] are seen by many observers as tell-tale signs of the country's relative decline. Yet Nicolas Véron at the economic Think Tank Bruegel argues that while France may have many issues to resolve, "an extinction of corporate champions is not one of them" :
The bid from GE, a leading US-headquartered conglomerate, over the power division of Alstom, a maker of turbines and trains, has prompted much soul-searching in France. [..] The description of mass corporate exodus fits a narrative of national decay. France's exports are slumping. Except that on the specific issue of corporate champions, the story is not backed by the facts. Compared with the rest of the world and of Europe, France is not losing ground as headquarters location of major companies – if anything, the opposite is true [..] Strikingly, in less than two decades France has gained considerable ground in comparison with the two traditionally headquarters-rich EU countries, the UK and Netherlands, and even with Switzerland..

For a manager associated with prioritising defence over attack, Jose Mourinho will not have enjoyed watching Chelsea's rearguard performances this season.
The fortunate 2-2 draw with West Brom on Saturday provided another example of how the club's challenge for silverware is in danger of being undermined by sloppy mistakes.
It was not a characteristic of his teams during Mourinho's first spell in charge at Stamford Bridge between 2004-07. Indeed, the club still boast the record for fewest goals conceded in the Premier League when they let in just 15 on the way to winning the title in 2005.
But 11 games into his second tenure at the club, goalkeeper Petr Cech has already picked the ball out of the net 10 times with Newcastle and West Brom scoring four between them in the past week.
A collection of individual errors has been responsible rather than an unstoppable moment of skill from the opposition and that trend will not be tolerated by a perfectionist like Mourinho.
David Luiz and Ashley Cole paid the price for errors in the 2-0 defeat at Newcastle by being left out of the last two games but that still did not spark an improvement.
Mourinho has inherited a weaker squad than the one he left six years ago. Cech is still a top goalkeeper but is perhaps more fallible than the younger version.
Captain John Terry is obviously a lot older, so too Cole, while the other centre-halfs, Gary Cahill and Luiz, have not matched the standards Ricardo Carvalho reached during his time under Mourinho.
Perhaps only right-back Branislav Ivanovic can consider himself an upgrade on Paulo Ferreira, although Chelsea are also undermined by not having a defensive midfielder in the class of Claude Makelele to provide extra protection.
It appears one of the main causes for their troubles though is a lack of composure rather than ability.
Chelsea allowed West Brom to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead on Saturday with Shane Long heading in a rebound from close range unchallenged and then Stephane Sessegnon's tame shot slipped under Cech's hands.
Cahill admitted: "I was so disappointed because we lost control in the second half and I don't know why. It went frantic for 20-25 minutes which doesn't suit us.
"I slipped twice for their first goal which I couldn't do too much about but they got the header in and we should deal with it after that. It's unlike us, we don't concede too many from set pieces."
Like other managers in the top flight, Mourinho's frustration is increased by the fact the international break prevents him from doing anything to put it right.
He added: "There is nothing I can do during these two weeks. Normally you want to work, but I can't work.
"I just have to wait for them and when they come back, we play West Ham just two days later and then go to Basle."
Arsenal's four-point advantage over Chelsea is obviously not insurmountable but the gap to the Premier League leaders will surely widen if Chelsea's generosity at the back continues much longer.

I wonder if this could be related to the fact that the milk industry is big in Cajamarca... maybe some cows are being overdosed with hormons to produce more milk and these hormons were passed into this girl.... Im not a doctor though... just a wonderer...
# Anonymous Dave says :

Very interesting peloflex.
# Lulu says :

I feel sorry for this poor girl. The doctors say they should return to their normal size, which is what happens after the usual enlargement during pregnancy and after breastfeeding, but these are unusually large. I hope for her sake they do return to normal.
# Martin says :
August 16, 2008 [ 11:35 ]
How come no comments regarding the fact that this is another Peruvian mother, probably of limited economic means, having a baby. Who will support this mother and child? Charity in one form or another?
# David says :
August 16, 2008 [ 14:04 ]
Martin you assume an awful lot here, don't you?
You may be correct, but her farther was the one that took there life savings and brought her to the hospital. No mention of welfare or charity care in the article.
As for the poor giving birth at a greater rate then wealthy it is a proven fact that takes place around the world, weather it is the US, GB, or Europe. The poor of even the wealthiest nations have more children.
It provides greater chance for a success and these are usually unskilled workers or farmers that work in the family business. More children makes more hands to produce product.
Ever wonder why to of the poorer nations of the world have such a large population? (China & India)
# Splaktar says :
August 17, 2008 [ 22:42 ]
Certainly hormones of some sort were involved here. Perhaps they were from cows or other foods that she ate. Or perhaps it was just a genetic problem, which has now been passed down to her baby girl.
Martin touches on a very important problem that is much too common in Peru. Single mother, 19 years old, from a poor family. Her father had to take all of the family's money to get her this treatment. Now where are they going to find money to raise the child? 19 years old from a poor family means that it is unlikely that she's going to be able to make much money for herself. So the father is going to be forced to raise the child along with taking care of the mother, at least as long as he is able.
It is not easy to find a husband here in Peru who will marry you and help you raise another man's baby. If only she had actually gotten married and had someone to support her before getting pregnant.
Just another in a multitude of AVOIDABLE sad stories that happen every day in Peru.
# Lulu says :
August 18, 2008 [ 0:55 ]
I don't think this is a problem that is unique to Peru. It happens all over the world, including the city in the southeastern U.S. where I live. It's unfortunate because it perpetuates a cycle of poverty. It definitely has to do with the level of education and socioeconomic status. Having said that, I am probably on a different wavelength than Martin in terms of how I would like my tax dollars spent. I think societies are judged by how they treat their poor and vulnerable. And compassion, which comes from within, doesn't cost a cent.
# Lulu says :
August 18, 2008 [ 0:57 ]
P.S. I meant the problem of teen pregnancies, not the abnormal breast enlargement!

Despised screen invaders will continue popping up
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Intrusive: Pop-up ads and logos are being coming increasingly common on our television screens.
The small screen has never been so crowded with commercial networks increasingly placing pop-up promotions during programs to keep viewers watching during the most competitive part of the ratings year.
The volume and size of the banner ads is, however, having the reverse effect on some viewers, who complain that they distract them from the program they are watching.
One viewer noted that a pop-up promotion for Australia's Funniest Home Videos which appeared during Nine's recent cricket coverage obscured the view of play while another commented that they blocked the expressions on actors' faces when they appeared in dramas.
The pop-ups, which can appear up to three times during a half-hour program in prime time and linger for a few seconds at a time, are here to stay and there is nothing the industry bodies can do to stop them.
In fact, the commercial networks can run as many pop-ups as they wish, according to the Australian Broadcasting Authority.
"The Commercial Television Code of Practice limits the amount of non-program matter than can be shown in every hour," said an ABA spokesman.
"It defines non-program matter as full-screen ads, so those little pop-ups don't count as non-program matter."
The chief executive of industry body Free TV Australia, Julie Flynn, said there was nothing in the code of practice to restrict such promotions.
The networks are, however, limited to showing only 13 minutes of non-programming matter per hour from 6pm to midnight.
Rather than being a surreptitious way of sneaking in more promotional material for their own programming, the networks argue that it is a way of reminding viewers to stay tuned.
"Because we have accelerated flow where one program flows into another without a commercial break, we do use graphics to tell viewers what they are watching and what's coming up next," a Channel Seven spokesman said. "But ours are fairly discreet and they come on at times which won't interfere with the program."
As well as running promotional pop-ups, Channel Seven has recently introduced a station ID: an animated television set which leaps up and down in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
The growing use of pop-ups reflects the intensity of the current battle for eyeballs, with networks fighting for an edge at the beginning of the ratings season.
Nine narrowly won the first week nationally with a 28.4 per cent share ahead of Seven's 28 per cent, Ten's 23.2 per cent, the ABC's 15.9 per cent and SBS TV's 4.4 per cent. In Sydney, however, Seven led the race with 29.6 per cent to Nine's 27.7 per cent, Ten's 22.9 per cent, the ABC's 15.2 per cent and SBS TV's 4.6 per cent.

The other day - Monday to be specific - was not my best day. It was officially the first day of the kids summer vacation but I still had to work in the family office because one of our employees was out and I needed to cover the 8-5 shift to keep afloat. No biggie. The kids came with me (thank God for family run businesses!) and we showed up bright eyed and ready. They had lots to do to keep them busy as did I! I turned on my computer but my computer was not ready to work. My computer was stricken with a virus. A case of the Mondays you could say. No computer, no work. It took at least an hour to get completely up and running, which set an already busy day back more than I would've liked. The computer was not the only one with a case of the Mondays; customers, phone conversations, orders, everything and everyone I touched was afflicted with the Monday Touch (see: Opposite of Midas Touch). Before I knew it, it was 5:00 and I was wiped out. I was grouchy, irritable, stressed, drained and ready to go home while my boys were just getting warmed up and ready to go. I tried to make up for the lost day by taking the boys for a swim in the lake, having a great dinner and some decent laughs before bed - but all in all, Monday was gone and that was the only thing good about it. When my weary head finally hit the pillow, even I was tired of me.
|I love this because it's true - coffee is optimism in a cup. When you drink it, you immediately feel like you can conquer whatever stands in front of you - until it's time for another cup.
As I poured my Tuesday morning coffee, it hit me. Every morning that I wake up, I get a chance to do things over, to do them better, to do them differently, to try again. THAT'S when I realized that what I love about my coffee so much is that it represents a new start and new possibilities every single day. So I had a crappy day Monday - I get a do-over. The coffee induced an amnesia for yesterday and wiped the slate clean and made way for the new. It's a beautiful thing. If we're lucky, we have a large amount of do-overs in our lifetime - it's what we choose to do with them that really matters. I'm sure you've seen that ecard that says "I'm trying to decide if I should use my coffee powers for good or evil." It's funny, but it's so true. If you think of your coffee as a fresh start to the day, then you have to decide is it going to be a good day? Or a bad day? Are you going to choose good? Or evil? Are you going to be kind? Or unkind? Your day is full of opportunities. It's full of the option to change what you didn't like about yesterday. The beautiful thing is that we have the power to decide if we should learn from what we did wrong yesterday should we choose to acknowledge it and say today is a new day and forgive ourselves and others for the things that didn't work out the day before. I think one of the reasons we all loathe Monday so much is because we put SO much pressure on it to be a fresh start, to start a diet, to begin an exercise program, to get Friday's leftover pile of blown off work done. Monday carries such a negative connotation because we push all of our hope and effort into Monday and when it doesn't work out - we blame the fact that it's Monday for our failures. Maybe by looking at our morning coffee as Monday, or as January, or however you want to think of it -we'll start to think of it as a fresh start.
We don't start out the day thinking it's going to be bad (well, maybe some days when we have something daunting on the schedule we do, but for the most part, we don't). Sometimes there is something waiting in the wings to throw us off our game and mess with our attitude. It's going to happen. You're going to have days like that once in a while. You might even have weeks like that. But what can we do differently today to show that we learned something from doing yesterday wrong? Could be something so small - could be something huge. We could say maybe we'll react differently or let something roll off of us, or turn the other cheek. Even better, try NOT to take things personally because 99% of the time it isn't. As long as we are moving forward every single day as a work in progress, a life in progress, a human being who learns from what to sweat and what not to sweat - that's what matters. It seems the older I get, the less seriously I take the stupid stuff.
|I love the simplicity and innocence in this quote!
What's in your cup of coffee today? It's more than hot, delicious goodness in a cup - it's hopes, dreams, courage, strength, love, and kindness. So drink up, and go forward today with the strength you need to do anything and face everything that comes your way. Say it with me, today will be good. Cheers and Love.
Happy Summer!

Video: Obama's pastor takes highly nuanced approach to racial divisiveness; Update: More nuance: "God damn America"; Update: Role with campaign?
posted at 9:07 am on March 13, 2008 by Allahpundit
Just a little gloss for you on the Messiah's deep, principled objection to the polarizing Ferraro-esque racial rhetoric that drives Americans apart. The fact that it probably doubles as Exhibit A in the IRS investigation of improper church politicking on his behalf is but a happy accident.
Exit question one, courtesy of Tom Maguire: Does the candidate bring his kids to church to listen to this? And exit question two, via Kaus: What, precisely, makes Andrew Sullivan's grasp of Obama's post-racial appeal any more or less objectionable than Geraldine Ferraro's? Click the image to watch.
Update: Nothing divisive about this, thankfully. Just a little of ye olde "progressive" Truth to Power.
"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."
In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.
"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.
"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.
Update: For the record, yes, Wright is formally part of Obama's campaign, but in a largely ceremonial role.

Report 2087: WW II, Castles, and London
By KeithfromVA from Virginia, Fall 2013
Trip Description: Highlights of Keith's trip to England, including visits to London, Bath and Highclere Castle, featured in Downton Abbey.
Destinations: Countries - United Kingdom; Regions/Cities - Bath, Heart of England, London
Categories: Hotels/B&Bs; Sightseeing; Independent Travel; 3-4 people
Page 1 of 4: Days 1-2 Arrival and Bletchley Park
Our trip to England was with another couple, our best friends and travel buddies. It was clearly not slow travel, but there were places we wanted to see and things we wanted to do, so we went for it. In retrospect, the packing up and moving tired us out and Im sure we wont be doing anything like this anytime soon, but we did have fun.
On Friday, September 6, we flew from Washington Dulles on Uniteds morning flight. I love that flight. It leaves Dulles around 9:30am and gets to Heathrow around 9:30pm. Im tired enough to get to sleep by midnight and when I wake up the next day, Ive switched time zones.
For convenience, we spent that first night at the Hilton Heathrow Terminal 5. It is modern, very comfortable, and reasonably priced (£71.40 prepaid). It does not have a dedicated, free shuttle, but you can get there cheaply using the Hoppa bus. However, since we were four people with too much luggage, it only cost us a few pounds more to be met by Parker Cars and driven to the hotel. He loaded our luggage, which is a lot easier than schlepping it onto a shuttle bus, especially after a long flight.
The next day we picked up a rental car. We had reserved with Auto Europe who booked us with National, which, at Heathrow, is also Alamo and Europcar. The place was packed! We took a number and then waited about 45 minutes before it was our turn.
After checking out of the hotel, we drove to Bletchley Park to see where the WWII code breakers worked. With admission came a 1.5 hour tour with a historian. I really enjoyed it and wished we had planned to spend more time there because you could go out after the tour with a free audio guide and explore the buildings and exhibits in greater detail. We werent able to visit the mansion where the head of the station had his office because Google was having tea in there that day. Apparently, Google considers the Bletchley Park card index system to be one of the first search engines and has donated money for its restoration.
We spent that night at the Blenheim Edge Guest House in Yarnton, just outside Woodstock. It has four comfortable rooms and the innkeepers, Sean and Tanya, are very nice and welcoming. Rooms were £99 with a very nice breakfast. Unfortunately, we learned the difference between a private bath and an en suite bath here. We had the one room with a private bath across the hall from our bedroom. It was a minor adjustment to get used to going across the hall. Robes were provided. We had dinner that night at the Royal Sun, a nearby pub. It was good, solid food.

Kier Group plc, based in the United Kingdom, has completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Pure Recycling Warwick Ltd. from Pure Recycling Co Ltd. for about $ 2.9 million, to be paid immediately. The acquisition includes the entire issued share capital of Pure Buildings Ltd. from Nicholas Spencer and Jodie Spencer.
The company also has a further payment of as much as £5.1 million, which is contingent on a number of issues.
Pure Recycling and Pure Buildings own a Materials Recycling Facility that is being built in Ettington in Warwickshire, U.K. The MRF is under construction and is currently due for completion by next March. When complete, the facility will be one of the largest MRFs in the UK and will be able to process a minimum of 25 metric tons of recycled material per hour.
"We are delighted with the acquisitions which strengthen Kier's waste management and recycling business and will leave the Group well placed to take advantage of future market growth in the sector. In particular, we look forward to working closely with Local Authorities and Councils to help them to achieve their recycling targets," says Paul Sheffield, Kier Group's chief executive.

ST, you might want to get a couple of good ratchet straps to hold everything together. When I'm hiving a swarm I like the bottom board stapled to the bottom box, but I might stack another box on top of that one along with the cover...the ratchet strap makes me feel more confident that everything will stay to gather while traveling.
Also, a piece of #8 mesh screen 3-4 inches wide by ever how wide your entrance is is good to block the entrance. Fold it in half the long way and push the folded edge into the entrance. The tension and friction fit should hold it it place but you can put a staple in it a couple of places for insurance. Also, an inner cover with #8 screen over the hold would give them more ventilation. It is surprising how much heat they can put off.
If you have to end up cutting the comb and installing it into medium frames it really isn't a big deal. The cut out pieces would fit nicely being as the shape is already squared off and one dimension is the correct size...it would not be nearly as difficult as doing a cut out from a wall or something. I would use two medium boxes to do the cutout...cut a piece from one of the deep frames big enough to fill a medium frame and install that frame in the lower box then put the remaining piece of comb from that deep frame in another medium frame but install that frame in the top box positioned directly above it's original lower part. That way the comb still has the same configuration but in two frames. You most likely will have 2-3 frames per nuc of brood comb to deal with if you decide to do a cut out....not all five frames....but, maybe you will. :)

Pickeral Lake group home
There appears to be confusion as to why some residents of Nokay Lake are opposing the group home on Pickeral Lake Road.
This is not the average group home. These residents cannot function in a regular group home because of their behaviors.
A Department of Human Services (DHS) said that there may be sex offenders housed there.
There are lakes, acres of heavily wooded areas, long response times for law enforcement or Emergency Medical Services due to the location from Brainerd or Crosby.
Doors cannot be locked due to fire code. Sheriff Dahl has expressed his concern due to the location and lengthy response time, which could result in the resident being lost deep in the woods or at the bottom of Pickeral Lake.
Group homes should help residents get back into the community. How can this happen 12 miles from town with nothing in the area but a bar and a hardware store?
I have worked with daycare children with developmental, physical and mental disabilities. I have taught classes for children with special needs for 17 years. My opposition is not because there may be residents with disabilities.
My relative has done very well in a group home within the city.
I am opposed to this group home because of the level of mental illness and violent nature of residents being brought to this rural area from the cities and expected to adjust to a culture and environment totally unfamiliar to them. DHS said that they can go for a walk or bike ride. How does that ready them for society?
What does that do for the safety of the children at my daycare?
DHS already said the location next to a daycare was a mistake. It is an admitted DHS mistake; so DHS fix it!

Bottled water is one big CON.Never bought a bottle of water, and never will.
Why don't i just put some water in a bottle instead of buying bottled water?

After all, most automakers are downsizing engines and introducing hybrids and electric vehicles at an astounding rate; could it be that the storied small-block-Chevy will soon go the way of the dinosaur? Not so, says Mark Damico, GM's small-block design system engineer. In fact, General Motors has invested some $890 million to produce the next generation of its small block V-8, which should arrive sometime in 2013. Expect to see plenty of fuel-saving technology in the [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]new [COLOR=blue !important]engine[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], including gasoline direct injection and cylinder deactivation. Expect GM to use lightweight aluminum engine blocks for more applications in the future, too. In 2010, GM manufactured 955,200 small-block V-8s, of which only 267,456 used aluminum blocks. The weight savings of aluminum versus cast iron is significant, but aluminum adds cost to producing an engine. GM will likely find a way to reduce production costs on their next-generation aluminum blocks, since the weight savings (and associated fuel economy gains) are critical to meeting future CAFE targets. Since the first small block V-8 was built for the Corvette in 1955, GM has built nearly 100 million examples. Power output has ranged from anemic (like the 110-[COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]horsepower[/COLOR][/COLOR], 4.3-liter V-8 used in the 1975-76 Chevy Monza) to stupefying (the 6.2-liter, 638-horsepower V-8 from the Corvette ZR-1). For GM, the small-block V-8 remains an essential component of their pickup truck, full-size SUV and [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]sports [COLOR=blue !important]car[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] lines, so don't expect that to change any time soon.

I have often said that I have cheese running through my veins instead of blood. I simply adore cheese in just about any form (stinky cheese, like Limburger, is the exception). So I have been very excited about this month's Improv Challenge, cheese and crackers.
My mom has a fabulous cheese ball recipe and I am sure a week after this goes live I might actually find it. She uses extra sharp cheddar and a hint of blue cheese, too. It's a really tasty appetizer. However, as I was unable to find the exact recipe, I ventured out on my own and made this Olive and Thyme Cheese Ball. My kids ate it on crackers and I enjoyed it with gluten free chips. I also threw some onto a baked potato and a little more went into a scrambled egg. Leftover cheese balls are really good as sandwich spreads, too.
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 2 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
- 1 2.25 oz can sliced black olives, drained
- ¾ tsp ground thyme
- 1 tsp onion powder
- dried parsley for outside garnish
- crackers or chips
- Mix the cream cheese, cheddar, thyme and onion powder until well combined.
- Stir in the olives.
- Form a ball and roll it in the dried parsley so it is completely covered.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until time to serve.
- Serve with crackers or chips.
Now let's see what everyone else has made this month!

Educating the creative workforce : new directions for 21st century schooling

This article sets out reasons for arguing that creativity is not garnish to the roast of industry or of education—i.e. the reasoning behind Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi's insistence that creativity is not only about elites but involves everyone. This article investigates three key domains—scholarship, commerce and learning—to argue the importance of moving creativity from the margins of formal education to its centre. First, the article elaborates the scholarly work being done to bring definitional clarity to the concept of creativity, moving it from the realm of mystery, serendipity and individual genius to a definitional field that is more amenable to analysis. It then provides evidence about the extent to which creative capacity is being understood to be a powerful economic driver, not simply the province of the arts and the hobbyist. Finally, it examines new learning theory and its implications for formal education, noting both the possibilities and pitfalls in preparing young people for creative workforce futures.

From The Artists Studio
Rockaway Artists Alliance
Two recently completed watercolor house portraits by M. Elliott Killian.
By Susan Hartenstein
RAA is thrilled to welcome the distinguished members of our new advisory board. Board members are: Kevin Buckley, general manager of the Breezy Point Cooperative; Laurene Buckley, executive director of the Queens Museum of Art; Pauline Rhodd Cummings, assemblywoman, 31 A.D.; Roy Fox, arts editor of the Queens Council on the Arts; Jesse Kassowitz, attorney-at-law; Robert Levine, president and CEO of Peninsula Hospital Center; Rosemary Murray, chair of Community Planning Board 14; Theresa J. Osborne, executive director of the Queens Council on the Arts; Audrey Pheffer, assemblywoman, 23 A.D.; Claude Samton, architect and photographer; Anthony Weiner, congressman. We are honored that these leaders from the public and private sector will join us in moving this organization into the future, meeting the needs of our members and of the public. We welcome their expertise and hope we may contribute to them some amount of insight into the cultural needs of Rockaway. They have been invited to join us at RAA's final general meeting of the millennium and we look forward to seeing them there.
Speaking of that meeting, it takes place on Monday, December 13 at 7:30 p.m. in building T-149 in Fort Tilden. In fact, all general meetings this winter will be held in T-149. Please join us at our December meeting--it's going to be a lot of fun! RAA is moving in exciting new directions and this meeting will be a celebration of its members, their work and our wonderful public. Covering the walls and racks inside the building will be member artwork—RAA's Fifth Anniversary Exhibition. We encourage everyone to bring his or her works to show. Martha Killian and I, two hard-working and kindly souls, request that, if you wish to have your works hung, bring them to T-149 at 6:30 p.m. on the 13th. Make sure, too, that they are securely framed with a wire securely attached across the back for hanging. You'll make our lives a lot easier if you do these two things. Of course, you may bring your unframed and unstrung art as well. We love everything you do and wish to share it with you. Just be prepared to hold it in you lap or hands, suspend it from your nose or lean it against a large object such as Geoff Rawling. More exciting and inspiring events are planned for this meeting, but you will have to wait for further columns to learn of them. However, allow me to say—start saving your most select garbage. That is all I will reveal for now.
Remember, this Saturday, November 20, RAA's monthly tour meets at 10 a.m. at Fort Tilden, building T-1. It is the first building you come to when coming in the entrance across from the fire station. The tour will first visit the Breezy Point Artists-in-Residence Exhibit at Christ Community Church. RAA members participating are M. Elliott Killian, Maureen McGuire, Lee Ann Sheridan and Joan Doblin Vogel. Next, the tour provides the opportunity to observe the Dalle de Verre windows in the main doors of Saint Thomas More Church in Breezy Point. Dalle de Verre is stained glass consisting of thick chunks of glass set in cement. Designed by Bernie Deschler and fabricated by Patrick Clark, both prominent artists and members of RAA, these works are well worth seeing. Suggested price for the tour is $10.
November 28 and December 1 are the two days to submit the artwork you wish to enter in RAA's exhibit at the Saint Camillus holiday boutique. Bring your work to 134-08 Cronston avenue between 6 and 9 p.m. on either of these days. If you can't make those times, please contact me. The work must be framed securely and have a wire across the back. (Where have we heard this before)? Original paintings, photographs and prints are acceptable. There is a $10 hanging fee. For any works sold, we ask that 10 percent of the price go to RAA and 10 percent to Saint Camillus Home School Association.
M. Elliott Killian does house portraits. Two of them accompany this column. She says, "My house portraits are part architectural and part sentimental". Killian recognizes the strong feelings people have for their homes. The first painting is of a Rockaway Point transite bungalow built in the 1920's. It is still in good condition. These bungalows originally had open front porches, sometimes screened and with no decks. The Radio Flyer was and is still needed. The second portrait is of a year round house of the 1950's. Killian states, "The owners' love of flowers made this home a joy to paint". Martha Killian's love of painting makes it a joy to look at her portraits. If you wish Martha to paint your home, contact her directly in Breezy Point or through the RAA office. Remember that RAA now has an e-mail address:
So come fly with us in cyberspace and land here next week in time for the further adventures of the RAA rangers.

'Be safe little guy' — Rare terrapins released by Allens Pond
Fourteen tiny turtles got a grand sendoff and a leg up on very long survival odds Thursday as they were left to fend for themselves by a Westport pond.
"Be safe little guy," a woman said as she let one of the rare diamondback terrapins loose in beach grass next to Allens Pond.
Despite assurances from a turtle expert on hand that these creatures are driven by 300 million years of evolution to stay well hidden in the grass, this one's first free moves were straight back out onto the beach.
"He wouldn't last long there in the open," said Don Lewis (aka The Turtle Guy) who, with wife Sue Wieber Nourse, had watched over the terrapin eggs since they were found buried on the beach alongside Allens Pond back on June 20.
The terrapin was put back into the grass — deeper this time.
That these terrapins made it this far was a miracle in itself, said Lauren Miller-Donnelly of the Allens Pond Wildlife Refuge.
Credit sharp-eyed Pete Deichman of Dartmouth for giving them their first big break. A coastal watershed monitor, he was out checking on piping plovers that day back in June when he glimpsed something that is rarely seen — a terrapin laying her eggs in the sand.
"That almost never happens here," Ms. Miller-Donnelly said — the last time was about seven years ago. "They are so secretive. Usually if you see one they just run off and hide … You think a turtle is slow — these things are fast if you catch them out in the open. They see you and they sprint."
Mr. Deichman took note of the location and alerted Mr. Lewis and Ms. Wieber Nourse who set out from Wareham. After dark, they set out to find the nest.
"Even though he knew just where to look, it wasn't easy," Ms. Wieber Nourse said. The mother had covered her tracks well.
Once the burrow was found, the two carefully dug the eggs up — fourteen of them — and she drove them and the sand in which they had been buried back to Wareham.
The eggs and that sand were reburied in the couple's backyard turtle garden for the 82 days until hatching.
Out there on that beach, Mr. Lewis said the terrapins' chances of survival would have been about zero, worse even than usual.
The mother — "an old girl, blind in one eye" —had buried her eggs on beach that frequently washes over, an event that would almost certainly have destroyed the nest, he said.
Odds that any egg will someday produce an adult terrapin are astronomically slim anyway. Mr. Lewis said that 95 percent of nests are lost, mostly to a long list of predators — gulls, raccoons, skunks, crows, foxes, coyotes, cats and many more. Of the terrapins that do manage to hatch, only about one in 1,000 will make it to adulthood.
"These gorgeous, exquisite babies still face enormous odds to become adults but we have at least given them a chance," he said as the 14 were removed from the plastic pie plate in which they had been driven from Wareham.
The terrapins squirmed in hands as they were posed for pictures. Spectators gasped as one fell to the ground.
"Don't worry, they are little but they are tough — have to be," he said.
The eggs, Mr. Lewis said, had hatched on "lucky (Sept.) Friday the 13th" and the hatchlings had been given a few days to hydrate before being let loose.
Each is born with a yolk sac on its bottom shell which will provide it with the food it needs for these first few months.
"That's key," Mr. Lewis said. "It means they can spend this time in hiding — don't have to go out looking for food." When the weather gets cold, they'll bury themselves in the mud and sleep until spring.
They won't be much bigger then and will then have to find food. "They eat pretty much anything that is small enough and slow enough to catch," he said.
Those that survive to year three will be about the size of a hockey puck and, with tough shells, safer from the dangers around them. Big females may reach over 7 inches in length.
As the procession hiked from the wildlife refuge out to where the eggs had been laid back in June, Mr. Lewis said terrapins face a struggle for survival here.
They are listed as 'threatened' in Massachusetts ('endangered' in Rhode Island) but the situation at Allens Pond is probably worse than the 'threatened' status suggests. He said Massachusetts numbers are skewed upward because of an unusually healthy colony in Wellfleet on Cape Cod.
"I'd guess — and this is just a guess — that there might be 100 of them in this whole (Allens Pond) ecosystem. It's a depressed population."
"Terrapins are a bellwether species," an indicator on the health of things in general. Perhaps the only good news is that the terrapins' population decline seems to have leveled off in some places.
Part of their problem is that they only live in brackish waters — can't live in fresh water or salt. "And those places are under a lot of pressure."
"Who wants to let one go?" Mr. Lewis asked the group once the release point had been reached.
Hands went up and the 14 were doled out.
Unlike sea turtles he said, which make a made dash in the same direction toward the light of the sea and horizon, "these guys will go all over the place … the drunkard's walk. So be careful not to step on one."
"Good-bye," a girl told hers as she crouched and watched it take a few steps into the grass. "Be careful."
