The Clothing of the Zhuang Minority
Gold Earrings with Ethnic Charm - Nvzhen
The Sani Women's Huabaotou
Toudai - the pride of Ordos women
The Zhuang minority is an agriculture-oriented ethnic group by tradition, with a long history in handicrafts like spinning, weaving and printing, dyeing etc. The Zhuang people mainly live in Guangxi, which is between the central and south subtropical monsoon regions. Due to the warm weather in Guangxi, the Zhuang ethnic clothing is characterized by a blue-black short outfit of a jacket and pants or of a jacket and skirt. And due to the integration of ethnic groups throughout the ages, Zhuang men's clothes are quite similar to those of their Han counterparts, with the only difference being the belt around the waist. Zhuang women's clothes are mostly edged with lace, with an apron around the waist. Skirts are gradually giving way to pants.
The typical attire for Zhuang men is a traditional Chinese style jacket with buttons down the front, made of locally hand-woven cloth. The front-opening jacket is short-collared, sewed with a line of six or eight pairs of cloth knot buttons. There's a pair of small pockets sewed to the chest and another two bigger ones to the belly. The jacket has an inwardly-folded broad hem and two slits at the hem in symmetry on the left and right.
Zhuang men wear a kind of knee-length wide pants instead of long pants, with some wearing leg wrappings and a headband. They wear shoes and caps (or headband) in winter and go bareheaded and barefooted in summer. On festivals or when visiting relatives, they tend to wear cloud-headed shoes with cloth soles or double hooked shoes shaped like a duck beak; when working, they wear straw sandals.
Zhuang women's clothes are decent, simple and in good taste, with blue and black being the usual colors. They traditionally wear a pair of wide-leg pants, with a printed or jacquard woven multicolored towel wrapping the head and an elaborate apron tied to the waist. The upper garment is a navy blue or dark blue right-lapelled jacket with a short collar. The jacket may be front-opening or side-opening, with or without a collar.
There's a hidden pocket inside the front of the jacket, and several pairs of cloth knot buttons are sewed along the front edge. The lower garment is a pair of black wide pants, with a band of silk or cotton-woven patterns in blue, red and green at the knees.
While working, Zhuang women wear straw sandals and shoulder pads. When going to a fair, a singing gathering or during festivals, they wear embroidered shoes. Most Zhuang women like to wear earrings, bracelets and circlets, but their dress patterns and small ornaments vary slightly from place to plac

New designer mentor at Decor Mentor and principal of Kahn Design Group, Lisa Kahn spills more of her trade secrets on the importance and impact of styling a space with accessories.
As was mentioned in part one of this article, accessorizing a room is an often overlooked step in completing the design of a space. Knowing that the right choices of artwork, lamps, decorative items and objets d'art can literally make or break the final design of a room, we look at three more basic principles that can help you successfully and graciously appoint your space with finishing touches.
1. Sparkle: It never hurts to add an item that gives a room a touch of sparkle. I am not suggesting that you utilize crystal-encrusted accessories to achieve an elusive touch of "bling" — this effect can be tastefully obtained simply by adding a slim metal floor lamp near a chair and ottoman or a well-chosen mirror on a wall. These flourishes, while small, can make all the difference, adding dimension and a touch of eye-catching loveliness.
In this living room we added a pretty, antique, sunburst mirror next to a large cast stone fireplace for a touch of sparkle and shine. It added light and reflection to an otherwise dark corner of the room.
2. Personalize: Don't hesitate to add items that personalize your environment. This can be as simple as a collection of antique postcards framed on your wall or vintage evening bags displayed in a grouping on the wall outside your closet. Things from your past, heirloom pieces from your family, a fabulous find from your local antique or thrift store — they all qualify as long as you love them and that somehow, they speak to you. Do not however, feel compelled to display every single gift you have ever been given. An easy to reach closet or cupboard can serve nicely to store gifts that need to be put on display when a certain family member or friend comes to visit.
In this sitting room we utilized a pair of old wing chairs from a client's beloved grandmother and recovered them with a beautiful, tropical, bird print on linen and hung a painting that was a gift from her parents over the fireplace. She wanted to feel "at home" in the new house she and her husband were building and we helped her achieve this feeling by showcasing pieces that were near and dear to her heart.
3. Don't Overdo: Coco Chanel was once quoted as saying (and I am paraphrasing) that a person should take away one accessory from every outfit when getting dressed. Accessorizing a room utilizes exactly the same principles as accessorizing an outfit. Overdone is just not attractive. If every surface in a room is filled with decorative items, it can feel cluttered and the overall effect will actually detract from the truly beautiful things that you want to feature. Err on the side of restraint and make sure you are leaving room for everyday living in your space — glasses of water on a bedside table, fresh flowers on a hall chest.
In this bedroom we appointed the bedside chest simply and elegantly with a pair of onyx lamps and a small floral arrangement. Nothing more was needed to achieve a pretty, coordinated look.
Adding the finishing touches to a room should be fun and satisfying. Using the six concepts laid out in our two-part article, you now have the basic recipe for success. We will explore some additional ideas, like whimsy, in a follow-up article next month. Stay tuned and happy accessorizing!

It was not so much nostalgia as a yearning for something deliciously Vietnamese that led me to whip up these scrambled eggs today. My mom taught me how to make scrambled eggs – after she let me prepare rice for the family. We'd have the eggs for lunch with bread. At the time, I didn't realize how genius it was.
There were just a handful of ingredients involved: shallot or yellow onion, tomato, eggs, fish sauce, and black pepper. If things got fancy, green onion was added for color. Making the Viet scrambled eggs got me thinking about the brilliance of simple cooking.

replacing old receptacles with new decora on a 3 way light switch
I am trying to replace two receptacles that work with 2 light switches. The old round receptacles were upside down in the room and are supposed to be used with lamps. I bought 2 switches that were for 1 light and 2 locations. I was told by the guy at Lowes that the receptacles that I use are standard, only that I need to break off a metal tab between the outlets in order for them to work. I did this and my receptacles stay hot - they will not turn off with the light switches. What am I doing wrong?
Did you break off the silver or brass tab.
IF the receptacle is only half switched then you break off the gold tab. If the both plugs are switched on the receptacle then you don't break off any tabs.

Violent human being; animal like
by Chuck M July 12, 2003
The best county in the USA's state of Maryland. In Harford, one not only finds a flourishing minority population (niggers, kikes, spics...) one will find the all too common White supremist Nazi sympathizer. These Nazis are known for atrocities such as the "I hate niggers and Jews" bonfire of 2004. In 1967 these same Nazis burned 5 massive crosses at a local Jewish business owner's home in Forest Hill, a nice part of Harford. White supremists are currently struggling to battle the formidable national gang, "the Bloods" which have moved in on the northern end of the county. Hopefully the White Supremists and the Niggers will all kill each other leaving the small but prosperous Jewish population alone. At that point the county will be excellent. Hail Hitler! Kill them F***ing white bastards. Lets go whine a little at synagogue!

since i was a kid i had a weakness for hot dogs, i simply love them - my uncle once told me the story of how they are made, thinking that he would deter me from eating them, but all i had to say back then was "now i love them even more", i was probably 10 or 11 years old.
so every time i go to the supermarket, i check the hot dog section, and lately, sultan center has been ranking very low on my hot dog supplier's list - last week, all he had displayed was 2 unknown chicken hot dog brands, "del monte" and "chef", probably his own brands - this week he added "tulip" and "americana", but still no beef hot dogs on the shelves, only chicken!
what's wrong with sultan center nowadays? you're even stuck with his own brands, or limited a small variety and range of products! what happened to the old days when we used to find every brand lined up on the shelves? i hate what sultan center has become and it is unfortunate that we have to go to carrefour to find foreign brands we like!

Wal-Mart plans $50 billion "buy American" push
By Jessica Wohl
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N: Quote) will buy an additional $50 billion in U.S.-made products over the next decade in areas like sporting goods and high-end appliances in what the world's largest retailer called a bid to help boost the U.S. economy.
Wal-Mart, the largest private employer in the United States, also said on Tuesday it plans to hire 100,000 newly discharged veterans over the next five years, at a time when the U.S. unemployment rate is at 7.8 percent.
Wal-Mart said the plan to buy more U.S.-made goods is an effort to create U.S. jobs and spur economic growth. Critics countered that the company and other retailers could help the economy by paying better wages and offering workers more regular hours.
The moves come as the U.S. economy continues to grow slowly 3-1/2 years after the end of a severe recession. An average of $5 billion a year in spending is a drop in the bucket for the $15 trillion U.S. economy, and the question is how many other retailers could do the same.
Terry Lundgren, chief executive of Macy's Inc (M.N: Quote) and until this month the chairman of the National Retail Federation, told Reuters that Wal-Mart's plans to buy American were good but that cost would still be an issue.
"We would all love to do that, the customer will not pay more," Lundgren told Reuters on the sidelines of an NRF event where Wal-Mart presented its plans.
The moves received a cool reception from critics who claimed Wal-Mart does not pay its workers enough and slammed the retailer for selling too many goods made in lower-cost countries like China. The company is also under pressure over its sourcing practices, particularly after a deadly fire at a Bangladesh factory that made Wal-Mart clothes.
Wal-Mart's U.S. unit says about two-thirds of the goods it buys for its stores are made, sourced from or grown in the United States, citing data from its suppliers. It did not give a dollar amount for how much it pays for those goods, or what percentage the increased domestic sourcing would bring. Continued...

Watching that horrible preseason game last night between Dallas Cowgirls and Oakland Raiders was highly wrong of me but i wanted to see Dallas new players in action. Even though it was the first preseason game, there was no doubt in my mind that i was thinking what everyone else was thinking... Dallas have some serious issues!!! Mainly, Dallas front line is a major concern!!! Watching this game led me to compare my team, the defending superbowl champions , New York Giants to the, self proclaimed america's team, Dallas Cowgirls. Lets find out who is the better team and correct me if im wrong:...
Better qb... Edge, Eli "Easy E" Manning
Better receivers... Duh Giants
Better running back... Edge, Dallas until Wilson get more reps since Bradshaw seem to be hurt every season
Better defensive line... Well since Giants have Osi, Tuck and JPP, it should go to the Giants hands down
Better defensive backs... I also have to give that to the Giants especially if Terrel Thomas is healthy
Better defensive coach; Fewell by far because he utilize his players and puts them in a position to make plays
Better offensive coach, check the rings and i dont even like Gilbride
Better head coach, Coughlin baby!!! The way he gets his team to believe in his message is a thing of beauty!!!
Better team, Giants all day!!! Now obviously these are all good argumentative points but i believe the masses would agree!!! Dallas a better team??? Maybe in Madden but not in the NFL!!! Lets get it Giants!!!

People Stare
Poem by: Nicoledeer
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
People stare,
Some crowd around.
I hate it.
An ugly boy comes,
He's not ugly really.
Does he understand me?
He says something
I don't get;
I don't recognize his words.
Wait, that one, those ones.
I feel my face go red,
My hands go to fists.
I shove him and
I move to the track.
Are you deaf? Stupid!
People stare,
The sun retreats,
We are back in class.
The teacher calls me up just to spite me
People silently snicker,
Few ever get in trouble.
One boy looks with sad eyes.
I sit,
Mind blank.
Kids run out;
I grab my lunch and
At my lone corner
No one bothers to join.
I feel stupid,
Like that cute boy with the ugly heart.
People stare; my eyes go hot.
Someone sits next to me
It's that boy who stared at me,
Stared so sadly.
As I blink away tears,
He signs something
"Who is too?" I reply
His little sisters,
His little sisters are deaf too.
A sad smile creeps onto my face.
"Remind yourself," he signs,
"People stare."
I take constructive critism! :)

March 13th, 2013, is the opening day of the 2nd Annual PAC 12 Men's Basketball Tournament under the new PAC-12 brand name. In recent years the previous PAC-10 and now PAC-12 Tournament was held at the Staple Center in Los Angeles, California. The Staple Center is a great facility but maybe not the best venue when trying to lore travelers from vast regions of the West, like Arizona, Colorado, Washington and Oregon. Even the Los Angeles crowd has grown stale but when you throw Las Vegas into the mix fan interest may be stirred up. Some people make up excuses for why they have to go to Las Vegas. Businesses and conventioneers always have Las Vegas at or near the top of their list of locations to hold conventions, business meetings, etc. . . , especially when there are participants are coming diverse locations.
The MGM Grand for the first time will hold a college basketball game as the host of the PAC 12 Men's Basketball Tournament. The venue is not as big as Staples Center but it provides a great up close intimate environment for the fans and the players. MGM and other venues on the Las Vegas Strip will be rolling out the red carpet to make this event a win win for everyone involved.
Though the physical logistics for the PAC 12 Men's Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas are in place and ready to perform, the same cannot be said about the PAC-12 teams that will be vying for a PAC-12 Men's Basketball Tournament Championship.
From the beginning of the PAC-12 season to the crowning of its PAC-12 Men's Basketball regular season champions, UCLA, the PAC-12 has seen its teams show up to play one game and not the next. Inconsistent play has plagued the league and has seen its ranking as a league, nationally, tumbling towards the bottom of the heap.
One nationally unranked PAC-12 team played on the home court of a PAC-12 top 10 ranked team nationally and beat them handily. The top ten ranked team, playing against a team they should beat, used the anger from their previous lost, (the anger that they should have had the previous game defending their home court as a top ten ranked team should be able to do), to beat another lower end PAC-12 team by 44 points. The team that beat the top ten team turns around and plays the team that lost to the top ten team by 44 points, at home, on a special court, on a historically special night and lose. Are you following?
The inconsistent play among PAC-12 teams this season has been an ongoing pattern that has reduced the creditability and thus the value of the league, the teams and players nationally.
UCLA is the PAC-12 Men's Basketball 2012-2013 regular season conference champions. Years from now the details of how they won this title will not be important as they are now and will disappear into the sands of time. The Bruins won by default. Michael Jackson would be proud of them because the Bruins did a perfect "Moon Walk" into a PAC-12 Men's Basketball championship title and the Oregon Ducks signed off on it.
On Wednesday, March 6th, 2013 UCLA was in the race for first place and the conference title as they would face a Washington State team that was at the bottom of the conference. A team they should beat. They had just had maybe their best overall team win of the season against Arizona in their last game this season in Pauley Pavilion. The UCLA Bruins had not lost to Washington State over the past 19 years of visiting Pullman Washington. The UCLA Bruins lose to Washington State on March 6th.
The Oregon Ducks could have performed a perfect version of Gene Kelly's epic scene of "Dancing in the Rain" if they could only win two games, since UCLA lost to Washington State, the Ducks had to beat Colorado and Utah who are near the bottom of the PAC-12 to win conference championship. Oregon did not remember it was duck season so they were not prepared for the attack they would receive from the hunters of Colorado. The Ducks lose. California had a run for the conference title, but after a nice little win streak they let Stanford deal them the hand of fate in a game they needed to possibly steal the PAC-12 title from UCLA and Oregon.
To UCLA's credit after the horrible loss to Washington State, they bounced back to defeat this season's version of a turnover, lay-up missing, poor shooting and decision making Washington team they had not beaten in the last eight visits to Seattle. In the mean time, believe it or not, Oregon despite it's lost to Colorado, was still in the hunt for at least a tie for the PAC-12 title but they get essentially blown out by Utah. Explain that! Thus, the UCLA "Moon Walk" is in full effect, as the Bruins do a little more to win the PAC-12 regular season championship title.
This year's PAC-12 Tournament should be titled "I Have Been Redeemed From The Curse Of The Conference Regular Season" Tournament. The Best teams in the PAC-12 have been beaten by the worst teams. The worst teams have finished strong coming down the home stretch to spoil the dreams of their league leaders. This year the PAC-12 is a recipe for musical chairs. No one knows who is going to win the upcoming PAC-12 Men's Basketball Tournament.
The "lose and you go home" format to win the PAC-12 Tournament Championship title is the medicine the league needs to establish as a temporary cure for players and teams who do not come to each game ready to play. You lose, get your bags and go home.
The other valuable component of this new PAC-12 / Las Vegas tournament venue is that it can be utilized as an "Off Broadway" practice of how to win a championship. This "Off Broadway tune-up can be the training ground for the "On Broadway" big dance that will take place through the Madness of March's NCAA Playoffs, the "Final Four" and then the crowning of a champion. The "Off Broadway" and "On Broadway" venues both have the same "lose and you go home", sudden death format. Which PAC-12 team will forget their past and put on the championship mantle that says; "We will not be denied!"
Where is the milk? It is under the sink. Whaaat. . . ? Do you know where the trash bags are? They are in the refrigerator? What are the trash bags doing in the refrigerator and why is the milk under the sink? Blame men's college basketball they have too many things out of order. . . Please get that sandwich out of the blender! One of these teams in the PAC-12 needs to bring order and creditability back to the PAC-12 Conference. No questions asked, just get it done. Somebody step up and win a tournament championship, then go after the national championship. Check Ball! More is coming, look out. . .

Source: New York Daily NewsThe deadline for other trams to sign restricted free agent Victor Cruz to an offer sheet is April 19.
There's still a month to go before the deadline, but we don't expect an offer to come through at this point. Any team signing Cruz would have to surrender a first-round pick and pay him as a top-10 (or better) wideout. Given the state of the market and lack of cap space around the league, it's unrealistic. Once April 19 passes, the only team Cruz will be able to play for in 2013 is the Giants.
And for the record, I have absolutely no moral qualms about calling Jay Cutler a wimp from the confines of my Cheeto-encrusted couch

I'd do a larger meander with lots of loops in it, to off set all the straight angles. It's something you can do on your machine, too, as its not hard to do! Just finished a queen done that way.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'd do a larger meander with lots of loops in it, to off set all the straight angles. It's something you can do on your machine, too, as its not hard to do! Just finished a queen done that way.
I'm not sure about the edge-to-edge, but I saw this variegated Aurifil #4651 28wt thread used at my LQS today & it looked really nice. Blends well with pretty much everything & picks up a couple of the colors in your quilt.

Depends on your budget! If you're able to do a custom or light custom rather than an all-over, I'd be might tempted to use a 'celtic' design. Here are some examples from Ann Bright designs (not affiliated, but love her designs!) - http://www.annebright.com/shop/search/?keywords=celtic - either an allover (pantograph) or one of the designs in the 'block', with line dancing in the little squares surrounding the block, and feathers in the white circular areas.
I'd ask for a light thread - have your long-armer puddle some different threads on the quilt so you can see how it will show up when quilted.
Your long-armer will have suggestions for sure, ask for ideas. They may have samples of designs they've done before. One of the things I like to do - I have a piece of plastic (think of the plastic used to cover tablecloths) that I've bound with painter's tape (so I know where the edges stop) - I use crayola washable marker to audition potential designs - draw them out - to preview how they look on the quilt.
Have a good discussion with the long-armer, be sure you understand and agree with the quilting plan!
Beautiful quilt!
I don't know about the quilting but your quilt is beautiful.
Of course Reggie has to inspect your fabric as well as your projects, it's part of their nature to be curious. Your quilt is beautiful, however, I do not have any ideas for how it could be quilted, as I'm a SID and crss-hatching quilter.
illusion making it look like there are curves but it is all straight lines. Try this site for the pattern http://www.fonsandporter.com/article...40_quilt_block.
Wondering how you quilted this quilt? I'm where you were a few years ago. Very beautiful.

For an information sheet on the workshop- including a summary breakdown of each module, please click COMPASS for the Caregiver – Overview of Modules.
The 9 module COMPASS workshop encourages caregivers to recognize that in order to care for a loved one, they must first care for themselves. Participants find their strength and accept their limitations as together they tackle some of the most challenging aspects of caregiving: the difficult emotions like guilt and resentment, dealing with family, friend and health professionals that just don't understand, managing stress and depression, and finding time for themselves.
Watch the new video about ACGA's COMPASS Program.
Here is what some past participants have said about COMPASS:
"This course is the best thing that has happened to me in years."
"I felt safe to discuss my issues without being 'judged' or 'fixed'. "
"Being able to share with other caregivers my problems and frustrations was the most meaningful part of the COMPASS program, especially because [now I know] that there are others that are having the same problems."
"I feel so much more capable of handling the unexpected."
" It has helped me shift providing care from the category of 'who I am' back to 'one of the things I do'."
Find Upcoming Workshops
All COMPASS participants must register prior to the start of the workshop. Registration for most workshops is done through the host agency.
Registration for workshops can be done over the phone by calling 780-453-5088, or in person at the Alberta Caregivers Association office.
Hosting a COMPASS Workshop
The ACGA is happy to partner with agencies throughout Alberta in order to make its programs as accessible as possible to caregivers. Partner agencies include various Family and Community Support Services branches, seniors centres, public libraries, and other community organizations. We will also provide training to past or current caregivers who are interested in becoming a COMPASS Facilitator. COMPASS Facilitators are responsible for creating a welcoming environment where all caregivers feel safe and supported.

You don't understand how loans and insurance coverage works
SUBMITTED: Monday, November 11, 2013POSTED: Monday, November 11, 2013
It's shocking when you find out that the full coverage insurance you thought you had only covers the value of the vehicle and not the remaining amount of the loan. But it is true. Unless you had gap insurance in place to cover the difference between the amount the insurance company pays and the amount of the loan, you are on the hook for the balance.
Not only are you on the hook, but until it is paid the lender can persue you for payment and get a judgment against you if you don't pay the balance off right away.
Yes, it can be reported on your credit. It probably will be reported too as a warning to other lenders that you don't follow through with your loan agreements.
The longer it remains unpaid, the more you owe the lender due to default interest, late fees, penalties, collection fees and whatever else the lender can charge in accordance with the loan agreement default provision (because you are in default).
No, I don't work for this lender or car dealer, but I do read any contract before I sign it - that's how I know. Go back to your contract and see what the penalties are for default on your loan so you know how to handle it.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Where Did You Get Your Law License???
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 01, 2013POSTED: Friday, November 01, 2013
First off, if I can make out what you're saying is you had full coverage insurance which is required as a condition of the contract. Nothing new or unusual with that. That full coverage insurance COVERS THE CAR and NOT the loan. In a total loss, that insurance pays the value of the CAR one second before the collision. See that? It covers THE CAR and NOT THE LOAN.
You were upside down in the deal which means you owe more than the car is worth. As such you are on the hook for the rest of the loan amount. Yes, so-called "gap" insurance would have covered that extra amount. If you didn't have it, you are on the hook. No need for court action...it won't help you. Nothing unusual about being upside down in the deal and being on the hook for the loan amount in case of total loss.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#3 General Comment
do you
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 01, 2013POSTED: Friday, November 01, 2013
is in your contract that you signed. If so take them to court.... the insurance you talk about is called gap insurance. I dont think they sell you or provide you that type of insurance.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Happy Anniversary to you two happy vagabonds!
Just read your Thursday entry, Margie and am vacariously enjoying that clear mountain air, the views, two beers -- and your joy in walking, talking, being together in nature. Excellent navigating, too, feeling your way along, always checking that you're on the right track -- we can relate to it all! Harvey is so good at leading, thinking things through, staying calm. You're a great team -- and I bet same as you were on that first honeymoon trip to Israel. I hope to read more this weekend....it's raining here, has rained for 2 weeks, but John just made us a lovely vegetable & egg white omelette...Love, Susie
Day 14: Hiking as a Metaphor for Living
Loading Map
We had a detailed hiking and road map that Dunia had given us and it is marked with her suggested route. She queried us before making her suggestion – How many hours do we want to be hiking? Do we like steep? To get us started out of Bulla, she pointed us in the right direction and said go up, go up. With our plan in mind and marked on the map, we set off!
What a beautiful narrow path up through the trees from Bulla. Every now and then, we could peak through them and see these distant views of mountains and valleys. As we continued we saw only one other couple and they were coming down. We just kept going up, up, up and how much further up? More up. When we thought we had reached the top, it was just a tease, the land was like sculpture and when we got to a point the higher trail revealed itself. We thanked the people who do trail maintenance because even though this trail seems to get light use it is well marked with red and white colors and the trail#24. We even found occasional benches! The Val Gardena area does a great job of making the area hiker friendly!
It's quite steep and we stopped for me to catch my breath – and at some point Harvey thought he was developing a blister so he checked his sock and foot. We were looking after one another. Somewhere along the line, it was a little scary because of the sheer drop off the side of the path and I was getting a little tired and sometimes dizzy. We came to a section that had rock face with a metal rope for support going up. Harvey took the camera so I could easily use two hands. As I started up this section with both hands on the metal rope, I pulled in my stomach muscles, took a deep breath and decided that I can enjoy this – that I know I have the strength, balance and stamina – and to stop thinking that I can't. I flashed for a moment to my pilates teacher, Anna, who has told me when I am doing an advanced exercise to set a clear intention with self assurance and proceed. And that's how I went up that rope section, light on my feet and I said to Harvey that this was actually fun! My mental attitude had changed and it made all the difference in the world
As we are walking through the trees, we're talking and Harvey says that he thinks most things should be done in moderation, except that he loves to learn. He says it with such enthusiasm and clarity – that he has a burning need to learn. That's the thing about being in nature for us – it puts things in perspective. That step-by-step rhythm soothes and opens us up.
When we got to the top of this section of the trail, we were surprised to see so many people! A couple was watching us ascend and asked where we had come from. We chatted for awhile and learned all the places in the world they have lived, where they liked the best (Madagascar), and where they live now (France). It's fun to meet people along the way!
This next segment of our hike is a circular route high up in the Seiser Alm – spectacular 360 degree views as we walk around a loop. It's just so open and beautiful – I just want to breathe and my heart and energy are fully open and soaking it all in. I am almost singing hello and bon giorno to others as we smile and see other hikers. Mostly, people respond with smiles and hello or a German expression
The last segment of the days' hike had a shortcut and Dunia marked it for us, saying that it wasn't well marked. Harvey went into navigation gear and we occasionally found people who confirmed or suggested how to get where we wanted to go. It was one of those experiences where we took a calculated risk - we continued walking, knowing that we could go back and take the well marked trail even though it was significantly longer – and then we started to repeat our mantra that has worked well for us in life – "all will be revealed". And so it was that we found a ski lift gondola station that we thought was on track and we spoke to the one attendant who in fact confirmed we were on track! We followed this small trail and then a narrow road for about 1.5 hours and sure enough our little hamlet came into view!
What a spectacular way to spend our 42nd wedding anniversary! It was a little like our life together and we worked it out together. A wonderful dinner at the Hotel Uherhof topped off the day – with a special anniversary greeting on our table. We ended our meal with some oopsla and toasted to more years ahead together.
With gratitude and love we end the day!

Date of Stay: April, 2014
The bathrooms were really clean, and well taken care of. We were here right after Easter, and they were empty. They started filling up on Thursday night. We stayed on site 1 so that we could be next to the playground for our kids. During the day there was a good amount of road noise, but it quieted down at night (I was aware of the road when I booked the site). The sites on the river were really tight. Like other people have said it would be hard to get larger units in when the park is full and cars are parked along the roads. We weren't in the campground a lot, spent most of our time out hiking in the national forest, and visiting Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Overall it was a nice campground.
Date of Stay: October, 2013
We have been coming here the last couple of years for their boo bash in October with a group of friends. Lots of stuff for the kids to do including trick or treating, bounce houses, crafts, and contests. The bathhouses are just slightly better than a state park bathhouse. The sites are giant with 2 spots to park your cars. Only a few of the sites are reservable, the rest are first come first served. It has become a great way for us to end our camping season.
Date of Stay: September, 2011
Nice little family campground in the middle on some cornfields. Our kids had a blast playing on the bounce pillow and playground. They had a nice long wagon ride in the evening thru the woods. The Full hook-up sites were really narrow, but the other sites seemed a good size.
Date of Stay: August, 2011
This is a really nice State park. Most sites are a good size. We only saw a couple that looked small. It has a nice beach and lake for swimming and boating in. Our kids loved ridding their bikes around the campground and playing in the playground. The only downside was that the mosquitoes were horrible during this trip. We have been there a couple of other times and the mosquitoes were not this bad. We plan on going back again.
Date of Stay: August, 2010
The campground was OK. Most sites are very narrow. Our site had a nice common area for the kids to play in behind the campers. There were no fire rings, we were told to just have a fire on the ground and not burn the place down. Everybody was friendly. There were a couple of small play areas for the kids. If you like to take your boat with you while you camp this is a great place for you.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
This is the second time that we have been here. It seems to be all about the seasonals. We showed up to a site that was under water (and they knew it, because one of the seasonals who was hanging around the front office said he was waiting to see who would get that site). We had to go back and ask to be moved. We were then moved to a site that was so small that we couldn't fit, and it required over 150 feet of power and water cable (I do carry 50 with me). The third site that they gave us was ok, until it rained that night and turned into a lake. There were golf carts racing around the park all day and night. People were yelling and screaming till about 1:30am. Then just to top off my weekend, the water didn't work at the dump station to clean up. I will not be going back.

Naval war room leak accused gives court a miss
Accused Abhishek Verma failed to appear in court for recording of evidence in a cheating case he filed against his former partner.
New Delhi: Businessman Abhishek Verma, an accused in the naval war room leak, on Saturday failed to appear in a Delhi court for recording his evidence in a cheating and defamation case filed by him against his former partner based in the US.
Verma filed the case against his former partner and US-based lawyer C Edmonds Allen and former Indian partner Arjun Arora.
Verma, along with his Romanian wife Anca Neacsu, is lodged in Tihar Jail in a separate graft case.
His counsel told the court that he would not be able to appear on Saturday as he was to meet his wife in jail. The court would next hear the case on August 13.
Metropolitan Magistrate Surya Malik Grover took cognizance of Verma's private complaint June 4 and listed the matter for recording of evidence July 21.
Verma alleged that his former Indian partner Arjun Arora and US-based lawyer C. Edmonds Allen cheated him of nearly Rs 55 crore (over $9 million) around 2008.
The complainant claimed that he offered consultancy to the accused but they cheated him.
"The accused having malafide intention refused to make the said payment despite the fact that I was diligently providing consultancy services to them," said Verma.
The businessman is also an accused in the 2006 war room leak case that was linked to leaking classified documents from the directorate of naval operations.
The Central Bureau of Investigation on June 9 arrested Verma and his Romanian wife Anca Neacsu in a separate corruption case over which they are in judicial custody.
The probe agency allegedly that the two received money from a Swiss arms company Rheinmetall Air Defence (RAD) to stall the blacklisting proceedings initiated against it by the Indian government.

McNeese State head football coach Matt Viator. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, November 30, 2013 10:06 PM
By Jim Gazzolo / American Press
The buzzards may not have been circling, but they were starting to make flight plans.
At least we know the Internet was a buzz as the blogging world put a target on Matt Viator's back.
It's hard to say just how hot the seat under the McNeese State football coach was after last year, but we do know it was heating up.
Three straight years without making the playoffs and a decade since the school's last playoff win had fans restless to angry, depending on their level of worry.
This despite Viator never having a losing record and being the third winningest coach in McNeese history.
"I didn't hear any of that and I certainly didn't worry about it," Viator said.
But many wondered if the Cowboys would ever get back into the elite status of the nation's Football Championship Subdivision.
Instead of getting caught about in all the wind surrounding him, Viator went to work on fixing the problems.
"After last season we looked at things we have been doing that worked and things that we have been doing that don't," Viator said. "We as a coaching staff then made some changes that we needed to make."
He elected to treat the troubles like the captain of a ship that was taking on some water but far from sinking.
"You look back at last year and you see we were 7-4 but lost two games in the closing seconds," he said. "Win either one of those and we are probably in the playoffs. Win both and we have a home game in the first round and maybe even a bye.
"We didn't feel like we were that far off."
It was a message he sent to his players, who bought into the words.
"McNeese didn't go anywhere," said senior Chris Loveless during the season. "We have always been a good team."
That was Viator's message after last year. He didn't want to buy a new car just because he felt it needed an oil change.
"I told the kids I have to do a littler better job, the other coaches have to do a little better job and you players have to do a little better job," he said. "If we do that everything will work itself out.
"This year we finished the deal."
By doing that, Viator is once again the toast of Cowboyland.
His team is 10-2 and enjoying a bye this weekend as the FCS playoffs begin. They earned the No. 6 seed and thus will host a second-round game next Saturday.
"This is where McNeese should be, back in the playoffs," Viator said. "I'm happy for the kids, the fans, everybody involved in the program. This school has a great football tradition, I am happy to be a part of it."
He always stops short of talking about what the turnaround means to him personally. He deflects attention even if his record is a direct reflection on his abilities.
But don't ever look past the fact that this is a very tough competitor who wants to win as bad as anybody even if he shows little emotion on the sidelines.
And this year shows he is willing to learn from past mistakes.
Unlike recent years, Viator limited the number of freshmen he redshirted this fall, keeping more active and ready to both practice and play if needed. They have been used, too.
That has helped keep practices more lively and players heathier.
"It was something we had to do," Viator said. "We have to be willing to make the changes needed to keep going."
This was all part of his way of keeping the Cowboys atop a league that was changing and improving with each season. No longer could McNeese sit still and wait for everybody to come to them. The days of dominating the Southland Conference by reputation alone were long gone.
"There is no question the league has gotten better and better," Viator said. "It has forced us to get better."
He seems to like the competition, too.
After pounding on Lamar for the three years since the Cardinals brought back football, McNeese had to fight to the very end last week to win in Beaumont, Texas, coming from behind 42-38.
The win kept alive the hopes of a bye and home game. However, at the end Viator didn't seem stressed but rather enjoyed the moment.
"That was exciting," he said. "This was fun game to play."
As for all those who were starting to come after him, he always remembered special words from his father.
"Thick skin, short memory," he said. "Don't worry about what others say and forget what happened and move on."
He claims that is all part of the job of being the head football coach at McNeese, where winning has been a tradition.
"You want to be at a place with high expectations," Viator said. "I have high expectations, our players have high expectations. That is a good thing. You don't want to be at a place that doesn't care if you win or lose.
"That is why you come to McNeese."
It does mean you have to weather a few storms along the way, or maybe just a flock of buzzards getting ready for action.
For now, the skies above Viator's head are clear of any foul-minded birds.

Socialized Medicine: Missed the last horror story from Great Britain's government health care system? Don't worry, another alarming report will come soon. They just keep piling up like firewood in the fall.
On our minds right now is the story from the Daily Mail, which reported last week that nearly 40% of National Health Service workers — doctors, nurses and paramedics — said they would not recommend their own workplace to friends or family who need care.
More than 101,000 NHS workers responded to a survey that asked them if they agreed with the following statement:
"If a friend or relative needed treatment, I would be happy with the standard of care provided by this organization."
While 63% said they agreed or strongly agreed, 12% said they disagreed or strongly disagreed while a quarter, reports the Daily Mail, "did not 'express a preference.'"
"That left 37% of staff who did not recommend treatment."
This finding is a significant indictment. Even worse, at two of the system's worst hospitals, only 35% said they would recommend care at their workplace, and 17% overall said they "did not think patient care was their manager's top priority."
What would be a manager's focus, then? Saving money in a state-run system that can't tax enough to pay for the care it has promised?
Playing the bureaucratic game in a regime in which health care decisions are made by politics rather than by the patient and doctor working together?
One hospital within the NHS no longer subject to politics is Hinchingbrooke. The facility, located in Cambridgeshire, north of London, was privatized last year after, the Mail reports, being "on the verge of going bust."
But now, NHS data show it is "ranked as one of the highest" hospitals for "patient happiness and waiting times." It "tops the list for short waiting times" and patient satisfaction has increased to 85%.
The private company operating the Hinchingbrooke facility has "dramatically cut losses at the hospital by 60% and will soon begin to pay off burgeoning debts racked up from years of mismanagement."
The improvement has been so profound that another hospital, the George Eliot in Warwickshire, might follow Hinchingbrooke's lead.
So what changed at Hinchingbrooke? The incentives.
The hospital went from an unresponsive, inefficient bureaucratic shambles in which patients were not its central mission to a private enterprise that has to make a profit, which means it must satisfy its customers.
The future of American hospitals is that of the Hinchingbrooke facility before it went private. ObamaCare is a hard step toward a single-payer system run by the government. The American hospitals of tomorrow might not be under direct government control in an identical model of the British NHS. But they will be under Washington's indirect control since it holds the purse.
Washington will therefore be making health care choices for patients it doesn't know, setting pay for doctors and nurses, rationing treatment, operating an inflexible bureaucracy, and killing the incentives for professionals and workers to provide quality treatment, timely care and clean facilities.
Even before the Democrats' Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act became law, the government's share of health care spending in the U.S. was roughly 45%. Thanks to the law, it's headed even higher.
Writing last year in Forbes, Chris Conover, a physician and scholar, reported that when ObamaCare takes effect, "the private sector's share of health care spending will be reduced to a mere 33%." Which means the government will control two-thirds of health care.
This should be unacceptable in a free society.
It should be unacceptable to anyone who understands that government involvement is destroying health care in Britain, a nation that, as many have pointed out, has had more than 60 years to prove that socialized medicine works but has actually shown the opposite.
The evidence just keeps rolling in.

I grew up in Peoria, Illinois back in the days when you could get in the car and, in about five minutes, be in the middle of a corn field.
There were four radio stations. In the mornings and at noon, the programming on all of them was that day's price of corn, beans, grain, pork, and beef.
I knew what a calf would bring at a very early age, as well as what a bushel of corn was worth.
Because our parents (instead of the unions) controlled the public school system, we learned at a very early age that food most assuredly did NOT come from the A&P, the National, or the Kroger store.
And even though we mostly grew up in the city, we grew up with a very healthy respect for the business and the lifestyle of agriculture.
We took seriously the fact that Chicago was the "hog butcher to the world," and that corn was as important to Illinois as was Caterpillar Tractor. When we talked about the "breadbasket of the world" in school, we fully understood that we were talking about the region in which we lived.
Nobody where I grew up looked down on or made fun of farmers and ranchers because we all liked to eat, and we all knew where the food we ate came from.
Today, in Nevada, there is a different attitude; and that attitude comes largely from the most inbred parts of the Federal bureaucracy.
In fact, the official policy of the Bureau of Land Management's Battle Mountain director, Doug Furtado, seems to be that we can all starve to death because of the "environment" (a variable term for whatever the crazy people who control 90 percent of the land mass in Nevada want to do at any given time).
The Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, through their agencies–the BLM and the US Forest Service–have spent at least the last 20 years waging war on agricultural activity in Nevada. They have cut grazing allotments, they have ordered ranchers off "their land," and they have (through their actions if not their words) suggested that man should simply leave the state.
The latest outrage came as Furtado ordered a Battle Mountain rancher to remove his cattle from Riparian lands (near streams or rivers) by June 30th, regardless of the fact that the rancher in question owns all of the water rights to those lands.
In the words of Elko County Commissioner Grant Gerber, "we're not going to win this in court. Not in the short term."
There have been some victories in court, but the BLM has an unlimited budget and the benign neglect of both political parties. They have survived a Nevada Federal Judge referring one of their managers for prosecution and simply ignored that Judge's orders.
Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy won a huge victory in the court of public opinion, and the first thing the intelligentsia running the Federal bureaucracy is doing to him and his friends is to have the FBI investigate those who came to Bunkerville to defend Bundy–and who may have pointed a gun at a BLM mercenary who might have pointed a gun at them.

The motto of our 2016 I WILL WAIT FOR YOU: The Rick Salmastrelli Scholarship winner is:
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
We are proud and honored to award Matthew Stever with this year's $1000 scholarship. A DECA member and future Montclair State University student, Matt has completed his high school career with a 3.5 GPA, AP courses, and years of community service with many organizations including the Lawrence Hamnett Association.
Not only has Matt been able to maintain a solid GPA and participate in varsity soccer and winter track and field, he has also had a job since 2015. We definitely selected a well-rounded individual for the 2016 scholarship, haven't we?!
Lawrence High Varsity Soccer Coach Keith Fithen summed Matt up perfectly when stating, "Heart can't be measured in goals or assists, it can, however, be measured in the respect and admiration [Matt's] teammates display to him."
Self-described as "hardworking, persistent, driven, caring and courageous," Matt Stever has a bright future ahead of him and we are proud to be a part of it. One of the best parts of moving on to college it the new batch of memories one will make, but in Matt's case, I do not think they will be replacing those made with his friends, colleagues, and teachers during his tenure at Lawrence High School:
"My favorite [sports memory] would have to be during my senior night game for soccer. We played on Zimmer Field under the lights. I was not a regular starter for the team but because it was senior night, I got to start in the game. When the game started and I lined up, the student body started chanting my name. This is my favorite moment because it made me feel appreciated and happy."
Thank you, Matt Stever, for becoming part of our journey at the I WILL WAIT FOR YOU: The Rick Salmastrelli Foundation. You sure have made an impression on us and, without a doubt, will continue for many years to come!
Good Luck this fall at Montclair State University!

Published Version
(PDF 218kB)
Administrators only | Request a copy from author
Gender Dilemmas in Children's Fiction examines how fictional texts – picture books, novels, and films – produced for children and young adults are responding to the tensions and dilemmas that arise from new gender relations and sexual differences. The book discusses a diverse range of international children's fiction published between 1990 and 2008. Some of the key dilemmas that emerge are around the texts' treatment of romance, beauty, cyberbodies, queer, and comedy.

BeschreibungCatskills of Sullivan was build by New Yorkers who wanted mountain air, good food, and a Jewish environment. By the 1950s, this Eden of bungalow colonies, summer camps, and over 900 hotels had attracted over a million people a year. This book recounts the life of guests, staff, resort owners, entertainers, and local residents.
InhaltsverzeichnisAcknowledgments 1. Returning to the Catskills 2. How the Jewish Catskills Started 3. Kuchalayns and Bungalow Colonies 4. Hotel Life 5. Entertainment 6. "Mountain Rats": The More Skilled Workers and Other Veterans 7. Young Workers: Waiters, Busboys, Counselors, Bellhops, and Others 8. Guests 9. Resort Religion and Yiddishkeit 10.

PortraitPhil Brown is Professor of Sociology and Environmental Studies at Brown University. He is co-founder of the Catskill Institute, and the editor of In The Catskills: A Century of the Jewish Experience in "The Mountains."
Pressestimmen"Part memoir, part history, part sociology, Catskill Culture is basically an engagingly-written job down Memory Lane augmented by anecdotes" The Journal of American Ethnic History "With an insider's love and knowledge and a sociologist's objectivity, Phil Brown has written a book that avoids the sentimentality and condescension that have marred many of its predecessors. Interviews with former employees, owners and guests provide priceless insights into the culture of the Mountains. Brown's own voice is so warm, rich and good natured you will feel as if you are in the care of the most gracious of hosts as you experience life at the great-and not so great-Jewish resorts of the past." --Eileen Pollack, Director of Creative Writing, University of Michigan, and author of The Rabbi in the Attic and Other Stories "A powerful blend of personal memoir, sociological study, and historical ethnography, Catskill Culture recalls the life of Jewish Catskill mountain resort culture from its early years before World War II through its heyday in the postwar era and its subsequent decline in recent decades. Phil Brown's engaging and eminently readable account is shot through with nostalgic ambivalence for the world of work that produced the leisure industry known as 'the borscht belt'... An insightful exploration of the workplace culture of the Catskills resorts, the book speaks to all who have ever visited the mountains or heard stories about them as well as to students of contemporary ethnicity and culture." --Deborah Dash Moore, Professor of Religion, Vassar College, and author of To the Golden Cities: Pursuing the American Jewish Dream in Miami and L.A. "With part autobiography, part ethnography, Brown takes us back, nostalgically, to the halcyon days of this resort community. Remarkably, he depicts the area with such vivid illustrations that he brings alive the emotions, sentiments, and good will for which the Catskills were known. A labor of love...Mazel Tov, Phil!" --Contemporary Sociology "Using photographs and interviews, [Brown] takes a nostalgic look at the Borscht Belt and its decline...A pleasant read." --Library Journal "Because of his fond experience, Brown's ethnography is much warmer, more personal than most. It is a documentary of assimilation and a return to one's roots." --Publishers Weekly "One of the virtues of Phil Brown's unapologetically nostalgic memoir of growing up and working in the legendary Catskill Mountains--as busboy, cook, waiter, musician and all around 'mountain rat'--is that his particular nostalgia is profoundly earned. Indeed, he is deeply in touch with the vanished Jewish world of his parents who labored for their entire lives in the mountains. Brown offers an insider's--a native ethnographer's--account of this region and the astonishing Jewish culture it spawned." --American Jewish History "Whether you remember the summers in the Catskills, or heard nostalgic tales about this bygone era, this book is worth reading." --Lifestyles Magazine in Buffalo, NY

It also makes links to profiles or posts clickable within the app, and adds options to +1 both photos and comments. A couple of the nicer features in this update are for Messenger. Now, in Messenger, you can start a chat using someone's phone number, but better is that you can see when someone is online and typing in a message, which makes it quite a bit more GTalk-like.

PNC Financial, Codorus Valley Bancorp announce earnings
Both PNC Financial Services Group Inc. and Codorus Valley Banccorp Inc., two banks with heavy midstate presences, announced high growth numbers for third quarter 2013 compared with third quarter 2012.
PNC Financial Services Group Inc. announced Wednesday morning net income of $1 billion for third quarter 2013, or $1.79 per diluted share, outpacing analyst projections.
The earnings are down from the second quarter of the year, when the company showed a $1.1 billion net income, but up from the third quarter of 2012 when it reported a net income of $925 million.
For the year so far, PNC reports a net income of $3.2 billion, compared with $2.3 billion at this point last year, a 39 percent rise in net income.
PNC beat analyst projections by more than 10 percent, according to figures on Yahoo Finance. Analysts had projected a $1.62 per diluted share earning for the quarter.
The company closed 62 branches in the third quarter, according to its earnings statement, bringing its total amount of branches closed in 2013 to 170. With the closures, the company reported retail banking earnings down more than 14 percent versus 2012's third quarter, from $192 million to $165 million in the most recent quarter.
The company announced earlier in the year it plans to close 200 branches in 2013.
It now has 2,724 branches in the United States.
PNC Financial Services Group Inc. trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol PNC.

York-based Codorus Valley Bancorp Inc., the parent company of PeoplesBank, announced Tuesday a reported a net income of $2.62 million, or 54 cents per diluted share, for the third quarter.

Nissan To Produce e-NV200 Electric Van in Barcelona
Spanish Plant to be Sole Source for Electric Van
Following the selection of the Nissan NV200 as New York City's Taxi of Tomorrow, the company announced today that production of the e-NV200, first shown in concept form at this year's Detroit Auto Show, will be produced at Nissan's assembly plant in Barcelona, Spain. The plant already builds the aforementioned NV200, which is offered with a choice of a gasoline 1.6-liter gasoline four-cylinder or 1.5-liter turbodiesel I-4 co-developed with Renault. The U.S.-spec NV200 will be offered with a 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine.
In preparation for the production of the e-NV200, Nissan invested more than $120 million in the Barcelona plant. The addition of the new model is expected to add approximately 700 new jobs at the plant and at local suppliers. The e-NV200 will share much of its power train technology with the Leaf electric vehicle, and is projected to have a similar range.

Director of Federal Tax Policy
Note: This blog post was updated on December 28, 2012 to reflect the latest data.
As the Tax Policy Center's Elaine Maag notes, the 2009 Recovery Act improvements to the Child Tax Credit, which are due to expire at the end of the year, are crucial for low-income working families. Extending them — and also extending the Recovery Act improvements to the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) — would strengthen the economic recovery and help millions of families make ends meet.
Take, for example, a single mother with two children who is trying to support her family through work rather than welfare by working full-time, year round at the minimum wage and earning around $14,500. We calculate that she would see her Child Tax Credit plummet next year by over $1,500 — from $1,725 to just $165 — if the 2009 improvements expire.
The Recovery Act improved the Child Tax Credit so that it would reach many low-income working families who had been excluded from it and many other families would receive a larger credit.
The Recovery Act also strengthened "marriage penalty relief" in the EITC (that is, it reduced the financial penalty that some couples receive when they marry by allowing them to qualify for a larger credit), and it expanded EITC benefits for larger families.
Combined, these Recovery Act improvements lifted 1.5 million people, including almost a million children, out of poverty in 2010 and lessened the severity of poverty for nearly 15 million others, including 7 million children.
The Tax Policy Center estimates that if the improvements expire:
