Chapter 1 Part 3
Daren was messing with his keys, Anna guessed it was to stall so he could think of how to say something. Even before his...disappearance, he had always done this. Even when he had first asked her out, she had notice him playing with his keys while he nervously asked her to a movie. Finally, she couldn't take it anymore.
"Daren, baby, please, I'm going insane right now, just explain to me what's going on?"
He sat silent, looking slightly sad, but still happy to see his love once again... then he began....
"It began last year, as you could have guessed...It was around the time of the accident. You know, the one that 'claimed' my life. Well, it certainly changed it that's for sure......"
"Baby, please....what changed it? Was it-?"
Before Anna could finish he said " It wasn't anything to do with you or our friends or family... it had to do with his friends...They were.... different."
Annabeth sat there, puzzled and sure she was awake. Taking his hand for the first time in what seemed like ages to her, she gently persuaded him to continue.
"Well, you see, I was in the accident, but other than that, everything you know is wrong. And I'm sorry I couldn't call or show you I was fine. But you see, I had been launched into an entirely different world. And I couldn't risk your life...not again..." His voice faded away and his gaze dropped down to the steering wheel. Anna gently squeezed his hand, and then, she did something she had dreamed of for nights upon end for the last year. She lifted his chin, so his eyes met hers. He stared at her with a mix of apologetic and sorrowful love. Then she leaned close and kissed his cheek. His skin was warm and soft just like she had remembered. As she pulled back to sit back and listen to his story, he just held her firmly, and kissed her lips softly. Anna had tears swelling in her eyes. It had been so long since she had seen him, held his hand, kissed him. She was so happy.
Daren gently let go of her, and she sat back. Annabeth's eyes gently gazing at his hand, which she still held. It was so quite and still, every breath that the reunited couple took could be heard. But it wasn't awkward for Annabeth; however, it was for Daren. He couldn't look at her. Something was on his mind. He had started to fidget his fingers in Annabeth's hand. Finally, she couldn't take it. She had to ask.
"Darling, what's wrong?"

Members of our Green Bay faculty/staff participated in the 10th Annual Scrabble Bee for our second consecutive year to benefit Literacy Green Bay. Although we didn't take home the trophy, our Corporate sponsored table and participation was a much appreciated contribution to the success of this year's event!
Jennifer Nelson, Executive Director of Literacy Green Bay, stated: "Because of you, more students will obtain their GED's. More parents will be able to help their kids with their homework. More people will obtain better jobs, or maybe even just a job, and more parents will stand taller because they now understand."
Literacy Green Bay has been improving lives through literacy for 31 years! This organization offers programs centered around the advancement of literacy-an individual's ability to read, write and speak English. About 10% of their learners are seeking basic skills. Almost 100% of their learners come from low-income families. According to Literacy Green Bay, for every dollar invested in this organization, there is a $33 economic benefit returned to the overall economy. A rise of just 1% in literacy scores leads to a 2.5% rise in labor productivity.
If you're interested in joining our team, or sponsoring a table for next year's event, please contact Jennifer at (920) 435-4054.

Note: the census is said to be unreliable and there is considerable variation between different sources Basic geographical facts: - The Highland region is composed of a long string of valleys separated by mountains - Highest regions receive snowfall, which is unsual in the tropics - the highest mountain is Mt. Wilhelm (4 509 metres, located at the intersection of Simbu, Western Highland and Madang provinces) - Enga is the highest province with altitudes of about 2000 metres - Major rivers: - Enga valleys form the watershed for two river systems, the Lagaiap and the Lai, which are tributaries of the major rivers Fly and Sepik - Putari river (flows through Mendi (capital of Southern Highlands pr.) ) - Strickland (flows from Wabag (capital of Enga) into the Fly river) Basic geographical facts: urban centres - Kundiawa (capital of Simbu): population about 5000 Goroka (capital of Eastern Highlands): population about 25 000 - - home of several national institutes, for example The University of Goroka and the PNG Instute of Medical Research Wabag (capital of Enga): population about 3 300 Mendi (capital of Southern Highlands): n/a Mount Hagen (capital of Western Highlands): population about 40 000 - third largest city in PNG Demographic facts: - Papua New Guinea is ethnically and linguistically a very diverse country - Over 850 indigenious languages are spoken and there are at least as many traditional societies, with only about 7000 speakers per language on the avarage - note: only Vanuatu has a higher language density - - This applies also for the Highlands region Major languages: - Tok pisin: creole language and the lingua franca of PNG Enga: both a linguistic and ethnic group - Enga is a unique case in the PNG, since it is the only major group in the province - other minor ethnic groups in the Enga province are the Ipili and Nete speakers - Other languages and ethnic groups: - Melpa (Western HL), Huli (Southern HL), Wiru (Southern HL), Kuman (Simbu)*, etc. *Trivia: The term "Simbu" comes from the Kuman language and mean roughly translated: "Thank you!" History - oldest human remains found in PNG are ca. 50 000 years old and the colonisation is assumed to have happened some 60 000 years ago agriculture invented independently ca. 9 000 years ago - traces of drainage ditches found at the sc. Kuk site in the interior Highlands possibly for cultivating taro (Colocasia esculenta) skilled techniques of agriculture: adapted to high population density, hilly terrain, frost, heavy rain and earthquakes - indigenous crops: sugarcane, Pacific bananas, yams, taro, sago and pandanus - followed later by the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) in the 17th century - - tropical horticulture or permaculture silviculture - deliberate planting of a native ironwood tree (Casuarina oligodon) ironwood sweet potato taro History: colonial adventures - - first Europeans to come to PNG were Spanish or Portuguese navigators in the 16th century formal colonisation by the British in various stages from 1883 and placement under the Australian Commonwealth in 1902 Germany colonised the northeast quarter of the island in 1884, during WWI Australia occupied it and held it until 1921 under Australian administration until independence in 1975, with the exception of WWII during which the island was occupied by the Japanese (1941-45) however: the Highlands remained largely unexplored up until the 1930's - 1933 Leahy brothers find the Wahgi valley in Western Highlands Economy: agriculture - agriculture supports the majority of the Highlands population (80-85% of the whole population of PNG) subsistence farming, i.e. farmers produce enough for themselves to subsist, but not products for the market pig-keeping important, both economically and culturally - - exchange of pigs in compensation and bridewealth payments and in large festivals, such as the Melpa moka or the Enga tee today also cash-cropping, the most important cash crops being coffee and tea Economy: mining - PNG is very rich in natural resources, especially minerals - - these, most notably oil, gold and copper account for 72% of the export earnings and 26.3 % of the GDP remember: first Europeans in the Highlands were gold prospectors besides of being a major contributor to the GDP, mining is also a big source of both environmental and social problems - case: Porgera mine in the Enga province - operated since 1990 by a group of companies called Porgera Joint Venture - release of (treated) waste directly into the Lagaip river system (which flows into Strickland river) - the waste has according to environmental organisations negative effects on fish stocks, water plants and community health on large area along the rivers - deaths in the mine area have lead the local landowners to call for the closure of the mine in 2005 until deaths are properly investigated Porgera mine B&W photos (c) Jerry Jacka Further reading: Classics, ceremonial exchange & warfare: Meggit, Mervyn,1969: Pigs, Pearlshells and Women: Marriage in the New Guinea Highlands.

Professional Tennis Registry Foundation was established in 1979, as the charitable arm of PTR. In order to pursue its aim of raising, administering
and distributing funds for charitable activities, the Foundation was granted 501 (C) (3) status as an educational foundation by the Internal Revenue
Service of the United States. PTR has been granted 501 (C) (6) status.
Each year, PTR members donate to the Foundation with their membership renewals. These funds are used for various charitable and research activities.
Some of these charitable activities have included USTA Schools Programs and National Junior Tennis Leagues, junior scholarships, seed grants to
start community tennis programs and other worthwhile projects. The Foundation supports the PTR/ROHO Wheelchair Tennis Championships and the annual
Special Olympics Tennis Championships. The Foundation has also sponsored a supplement on wheelchair tennis and wheelchair tennis workshops.

deadlines for submitting applications, and grant qualification requirements. Also, the Categories of Giving & Receiving is available.
PTR Foundation donates $5,000 to the Women's Sports Foundation as PTR kicks off "The Year of the Woman."
Scott Tharp, Chairman
Luciano Botti, Vice Chairman
John Powless, Secretary/Treasurer
Michael Tomic
Dennis Van der Meer
One of the PTR Foundation's missions is to bring tennis instruction and equipment to inner cities and rural areas where the opportunity may not otherwise
be available to them. Through the Foundation, tennis programs have been developed in low-income housing projects, after school latch-key programs,
at-risk youth programs and wheelchair tennis rehabilitation programs. As the sport of a lifetime, tennis can be beneficial in building a better
future for these kids as well as a healthier lifestyle of wellness for all ages.
Each year, PTR members donate to the Foundation when they send in their membership renewals. Contributions to the PTR Foundation make a world
of difference in making tennis available to everyone. Here are just a few examples:
Father and Son members, Mike and Colin Fehr from Montana recently received a scholarship to help them attend the PTR International Tennis Symposium.
They took back all that they learned and this made a tremendous impact on tennis in the Big Sky State.

....wonder no more.
It seems that refugees from one secularist state fleeing into another secularist state are told to seek out Christians to survive.
Kirkpatrick tells the story of one abandoned, starving boy named Joseph who scrambled across the Tumen River into China in February 2005, risking the chance that he would be captured or shot on sight. (Virtually all escapees go north into China — crossing the demilitarized zone into South Korea is effectively impossible.) In the Chinese village across the river, he found no one to help him until he knocked on the door of a Christian, who fed him and told him to go to the nearest town. There an old woman advised him to find a church, because Christians helped escapees. "What's a church?" Joseph asked. "Look for a building with a cross on it," she told him.
He did find a church, connecting with a network of Chinese Christians that eventually helped him find refuge at the American consulate in Shenyang and, miraculously, political asylum in the United States. "The first survival tip a North Korean learns when he reaches China," Kirkpatrick writes, is to "find a Christian."
Untold numbers of North Koreans have converted to Christianity following their escape, and some brave ones have even returned to North Korea, at extraordinary personal risk, to serve as witnesses to their countrymen.//

Deadly Prey Blu-Ray
The sadistic and psychopathic Colonel Hogan (David Campbell, The Deadliest Prey, Relentless Justice) is a mercenary for hire who finds a benefactor in Don Michaelson (Troy Donahue, Shock 'Em Dead, Cry-Baby), a ruthless businessman in need of skilled killers for a special assignment. It's a win-win for both sides. Michaelson will finance Hogan's training camp and Hogan will use his trained mercenaries to help out Michaelson. Hogan has the manpower. What he doesn't have is the prey to hunt in preparation for the big day. His solution: troll the streets of Los Angeles and randomly abduct people. What Hogan didn't count on was that one of those people would be Mike Danton (Ted Prior, The Deadliest Prey, Relentless Justice). Danton, a Marine with killer skills, doesn't take too kindly to being kidnapped. Hogan, Michaelson and the mercenaries are in for a world of pain in the action-packed thrill ride Deadly Prey. Deadly Prey co-stars Cameron Mitchell (Hombre, Klansman), Dawn Abraham (Mike's Murder) and Suzzane Tara (TV's General Hospital).

Global exhibition supplier Nimlok is gearing up for its second showing at Marketing Week Live, seeking to find if marketers have a greater appetite for digital engagement and innovation rather than sweets and other giveaways.
Marketing Week Live will be held on 26th and 27th of June 2013 at the Grand Hall Olympia in London.
A review by Nimlok last year showed that almost 50 per cent offered giveaways versus only 10 per cent who used integrated social media. Of those giving goodies more than half used confectionery as a means of eating into the competition.
With significant leads gained and income secured from Marketing Week Live attendance in 2012, the Nimlok team is putting into practice what it preaches to clients at this year's event.
Samantha Thomsett, Nimlok marketing manager, said: "Last year we used augmented reality triggers as a way of engaging the audience and driving traffic, so the bar has been set for June!
"We were surprised last year by some of our research and so it will be interesting to see whether some of those statistics have shifted considerably within 12 months. I can imagine for example that there might be an increase from 22 per cent in the number of people using laptops and other devices to enable live product demonstrations and I expect to see a big rise in the number of exhibitors using social media pre, during and post event. "We found real value in attending last year and look forward to showcasing our stylish hire options – and giving those attending an engaging glimpse into how hire doesn't mean second best. We've just finished our latest exhibition which involved a Porsche on site, so expect the unexpected! " Nimlok will be at stand B130 at Marketing Week Live 2013.

The British Legal Association is poised to make an official complaint to the Office for the Supervision of Solicitors alleging mishandling of the Regis project.
As The Lawyer went to press it was understood that the BLA was finishing the complaint, expected to be filed this week.
It is also understood that it will pick out for censure the individuals who were connected with the project.
The complaint follows a series of damning reports on the society's Regis project, which is three years behind schedule and is costing around £7m more than expected.
A supplementary report on the project by deputy treasurer Robert Sayer, circulated to all Law Society council members in December, criticised named members of Law Society staff for failing to inform the president and council members of problems occurring with Regis.
But staff involved in Regis are adamant that the society's internal procedures were never breached, a fact which they say has been vindicated by various reports on Regis.
Alex Alagappa, chairman of the British Legal Association, who is understood to be behind the move to complain about the Law Society staff, sent an open letter to Law Society president Tony Girling last year, asking him "what disciplinary actions you propose to take against the officials who were responsible for this state of affairs".

Manuel Puig was born on December 28, 1932, in the small town of General Villegas in the Argentine Pampas. According to his own account, the provincial elevation of machismo and authority made his daily existence extremely unpleasant in his youth, so that he sought escape by going to the movie theater. Puig's childhood immersion in the Hollywood superproductions of the 1930's and 1940's became a powerful influence in his life and work.
In 1951, Puig left the provinces to begin his studies at the university in Buenos Aires, expecting the big city to resemble Hollywood. Disappointed by reality, he left Argentina for Italy on a grant to study cinematography in 1956. In Italy he pursued his dream of working in the film industry, acting as an assistant director at Cinecittà in Rome until 1962. During this time, however, he became disillusioned with life on the set and began his first novel, La traición de Rita Hayworth (1968; Betrayed by Rita Hayworth, 1971), in part to express his disenchantment. As Puig later explained, that novel was an attempt to discover why he suddenly found himself at the age of thirty without a career or money and with the knowledge that his life's vocation was a sham. From that time onward, the betrayal of reality by illusion and the seduction of the individual by popular culture would be constant themes in his writing.
From 1964 until 1967, Puig worked as a clerk at Kennedy Airport in New York while he finished Betrayed by Rita Hayworth. Following its publication, he returned to Buenos Aires and began a second novel, Boquitas pintadas (1969; Heartbreak Tango, 1973). His return to his home country was short-lived. Following the banning in Argentina of his third novel, The Buenos Aires Affair, Puig spent three years in exile in Mexico and then returned to New York in 1976. At that time he published what is perhaps his best-known work, El beso de la mujer araña (1976; Kiss of the Spider Woman, 1979). He later collaborated with director Hector Babenco on a film adaptation that premiered in 1985. He remained in exile for the rest of his life. Puig continued to write novels, plays, and screenplays, and his work has been translated into fourteen languages.
In 1989, Puig moved to Cuernavaca, Mexico. The following summer he underwent emergency surgery for an inflamed gallbladder and died shortly afterward.
Juan Manuel Puig was born on December 28, 1932, in General Villegas, Argentina. His early life, however confusing it may have been to him, provided him with excellent insight into the problems of mass-media saturation and contemporary uncertainties about sexuality and sex-role definition. As the author reported it, his almost daily filmgoing began before he had reached the age of four. The boy favored films with a strong element of glamour and fantasy, especially the extravagantly mounted musical comedies and dramas imported from the United States. His attention, he recalled, was directed almost exclusively to the female lead performers; male actors failed to provoke an empathetic response.
At the age of ten, Puig suffered a traumatic experience: an attempted rape by another male. Because Puig chose to make public this very troubling incident in his early life, one may assume that it is associated with his later literary interest in showing the effects of formative experiences in the shaping of one's identity, particularly in the emergence of a conflicted or uneasy sense of one's sexual self.
Puig's hometown was severely limited in its cultural and educational opportunities, but U.S. films provided continual reminders of the larger, cosmopolitan world. Puig's mother was an urban woman who had gone to the pampas to work in the provincial health services and ended up staying there and marrying a local man. This woman stood out from her surroundings in many ways; with her great passion for reading and filmgoing, she seems to have had a streak of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary in her character. At any rate, the provincial's longing for a cosmopolitan environment became powerfully represented in Puig's first two novels.
A secondary factor in Puig's development was the disjunction between his...
(The entire section is 753 words.)
Manuel Puig (pweeg) was born in General Villegas, a dusty village on the Argentine pampas, one much like those he examines with such telling detail in his novels. His father, Baldomero, was a businessman, and his mother, Maria Elena Delledonne Puig, was a chemist.
For many years readers have had to rely on Puig's own observations in interviews for most information about him. He was, by his own account, a sensitive, timid youth in a small town that valued authority and machismo; these were two things that Puig thought he lacked. He escaped this situation by immersing himself in Hollywood fantasies, going to the cinema at least four times a week.
In contrast to most writers, Puig was not enthralled by the medium—fiction—that would make him famous but by the world of Hollywood films. He read literature, but probably no more than other young Argentines of artistic inclinations, and what reading he did was almost exclusively of foreign authorship. He deliberately avoided Spanish literature for being tainted with the machismo that he despised. He also held Argentine films in contempt for much the same reason.
His education moved Puig in the direction in which he was already inclined. After enduring the small-town schools of General Villegas, Puig studied at the University of Buenos Aires, starting in 1950, and then won a scholarship to study directing in Rome, where he worked for a time under the famous film director Vittorio De Sica. Instead of this being the answer to his dreams, however, he found the world of filmmaking to be merely another institution based on power and subordination. He did not abandon the cinema—he would never do that—but he did lose much of his interest in directing.
He turned his attentions to screenwriting instead. He insisted on writing in English...
(The entire section is 748 words.)
Great writers accomplish two things: They make their chosen corner of the world profoundly real and universal. They also push at the boundaries of their chosen medium, opening up unexpected vistas for succeeding writers and readers. Manuel Puig is therefore a great writer. He has adventurously tested the conventions of the novel and has shown what new possibilities of structure and voice are available to writers. His experiments were not for their own sake but helped him bring small-town Argentina vividly to life.

Party Ideas By MonthRSS Feed
It's hard to believe that already it's April and May flowers are not far behind. Typically a rainy month, April has a variety of celebrations for you to plan a get-together or a party around. Let's see if we can find some unusual and unique celebrations for this month; any reason for a party.
Celebrations by the Month Bring awareness to those that can't speak with Animal Cruelty Prevention month. Report any abuse you suspect of an innocent animal. To help out even more volunteer at your local animal shelter or with a rescue group. If you have the time and space you can even foster animals until they are ready to find new homes.
Gather with the ladies for Informed Women Month. Talk about politics, books, what's in the news so you can flex the muscles of your brains after a long, dull winter. April is also Listening Awareness month which is something all of us can appreciate. Many times we get so wrapped up in what we want to communicate that we don't really listen to what others are saying.
For Keep America Beautiful month invite friends and family to clean up a local park, street or any other type of area that could use some sprucing up. Trim your hedges, mow the lawn and plant some flowers to bring more beauty to your neck of the woods. Speaking of doing chores around the house, April is also Home Improvement Safety Month so watch when you are hammering nails and clipping the bushes that you don't lose a finger.
Celebrating National Twit Awards month should bring a laugh or two to you and your friends. You can get together to vote for all the twits you encounter though it is probably best if you don't invite them to this particular gathering.
Weekly April Celebrations National Library Week runs from the 1st of the month to the 7th. If you don't already have one, go out and get yourself a library card and read! It's important for your children to use the library as well so be sure they have a card of their own. Also the first week of April is the Week of the Young Child. Moms can gather to swap tips and stories to make parenting a young child an easier task.
One weekly celebration you may want to skip is National Hate Week which runs from the 4th through the 16th. What we need is more love and compassion, not more hate and hostility. If you do want to express your loathing for someone or something, do it in a constructive manner such as exercising or some other form of physical activity to get your feelings out.
Daily April Celebrations If you can figure out what Bonza Bottler Day is be sure to let us know. It is on the 5th if you care to recognize it. Ladies will love National No Housework Day which falls on the 7th of April. Put away your mops and dusters and do whatever you please on this day.
There are many more cute, silly and serious celebrations throughout the month of April. If you need a reason to make a party you have plenty with which to work.
If you are craving the company of other adults after a long winter indoors with the kids, hosting a cocktail party for couple's only serves two purposes: an adults only atmosphere and celebrating Couple's Appreciation month. Couples that stick it out through thick and thin don't get enough kudos for their efforts, and it is a real effort at times when you are in a relationship. Let's plan a cocktail party to honor your couple friends and indulge in some good conversation while sampling tasty tidbits and sipping a refreshing cocktail.
Trendy Drinks to Serve Cosmopolitans and appletinis gained popularity from the television show Sex in the City. The show bred a host of flavored martinis. One favorite of mine is the pomegranate martini. Flavored martinis can be the drink of the evening. Serve a chocolate martini, or a dirty martini which has olive juice as one of its ingredients. If you prefer you can serve a variety of different liquors or stick with red and white wines.
Tips for Success Be sure you have enough ice. If you are serving wine it will need chilling or drinks on the rocks you don't want to have to make an ice run in the middle of your party. And speaking of drinks, have different types of glassware on hand for the various drinks you will be serving. If you don't have what you need there is always the good old dollar or discount store that will have them on hand. You might get wine glasses, tumblers, highballs and glasses for juices and other types of soft drinks.
Another rule of thumb when it comes to glasses is to double the amount of glasses as there will be invited guests. If you are serving martinis, champagne or wine then those cute wine glass tokens will allow your guests to find their drink easily.
Tips for Decorating for Your Cocktail Party Decide whether you are going for elegance or fashionably casual. No matter which you choose we have a variety of candles that you can set out to enhance the mood. Some great suggestions are our Cocktails Anyone? It's a martini glass gel candle. Two Peas in a Pod Candle fits the Couple's Appreciation month to a T. Put out our Petite Merlot Wine Glass Gel Candle with Heart Charm, the Perfect Pear Candles or Happily Ever After Carriage Candle. If you really want to make an impression on your guests then place your order for our Flashing Wine Glasses. There are 12 to each order and are 6" in height. We also have Parasol Cocktail Picks along with Hibiscus Straws if you're serving soft drinks. You can browse our tableware section to check out our paper plates, napkins and table coverings to see if any suit you. The most important thing at your cocktail party is that you have fun and appreciate your other half. You and your guests should pat each other on the back for your good fortune in finding someone that you love and cherish.
What a great way to usher in the springtime season by having a get together that includes either making your own kites or bringing along commercial ones to fly on a beautiful day. Pick a day when the winds will be whipping and invite along friends and watch the colorful kites take over the skies.
Planning the Event
You can plan for food and drink to be served at your house after the kite flying is done or you can pack a picnic lunch that you can take along with you to the park. Be sure to bring plenty of string in case a kite gets mired in the trees and perhaps a ladder to make it easier to untangle. All the grown up guests can help to supervise the children so that they all get a successful flight from their kites.
If you will be making your own kites you can have the guests make their kites at home or you can invite them over to your house to do the building. Plan a space that will have all that will be needed in order to build fantastic looking kites of all sizes, shapes and colors. There are a variety of hobby shops and websites that will lead you in the right direction as to what types of supplies you will need as well as plans so that you can execute the ideal kite. Choose a traditional shaped kite or a dragon, bats or whatever suits you and your child's fancy.
Head to the Park
If you are having a picnic, bring along finger foods, napkins and plenty of lemonade or iced tea. Find a place to set up the food that is not too far from the launching area. Have the children spread apart so that kites don't get tangled with each other. Depending upon the child's age they can try and launch the kite or an adult can get them started.
Imagine how beautiful the park will look with all the colorful and brightly shaped kites soaring high above the treetops. You can have a contest to see whose kite flies the highest or the longest or you can judge whose kite is the most creative.
Once the kite flying is through, everyone can sit and enjoy some delicious snacks and beverages and brag about the performance of their kites. Be sure to bring along a camera so that you can snap a picture of each participant and their kite creation. This may be such a big hit that your friends in the neighborhood will want to repeat this event year after year as they herald in the season of spring.
March is such an exciting month. It comes in like a lion and we hope it goes out like a lamb. It's the month when spring finally arrives and we can break out of the indoors and begin to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. A lot more goes on in March than just spring and St. Patty's Day. Let's see what other occasions you can celebrate if you feel the need for a party or a get together.
Monthly Celebrations for March
If you are a proud parent of a straight A student you may be interested in knowing that it is Honor Society Awareness Month. You might want to plan a special dinner or an outing for the scholar in your family. Follow this up with National March to College Month when your senior should be seriously considering which college to attend.
Many of us would benefit from a seminar or lecture on how to Improve Management Skills Month. You could find a speaker in your area and convince friends to attend with you then go out for some coffee and cake afterwards. As would be expected it is Irish American Month and for those that like their fancy tickled it is International Mirth Month. No need to wait for April Fools day for pranks and jokes.
For ladies that hate to cook you will be pleased to know that March is National Frozen Food Month. So rev up your microwave and put your aprons away while you celebrate this month long occasion. In getting ready for April Showers that Bring May Flowers why not observe National Umbrella Month?
Weekly Celebrations in March
How about Celebrating Universal Women's week which runs from March 8th to the 14th? Here is a good one, National Toad Hollow Week which is from March 14th to 21st. I am unsure of what you should do, but maybe the kids will know. National Anonymous Giving Week from the 18th through the 24th doesn't mean you have to give material things, but perhaps some of your time to help those less fortunate.
The great state of Texas wants you to Go Nuts Over Texas Peanuts week which is from the 18th to the 24th. With our ecology in such a fragile state, don't forget to observe National Wildlife Week which is during the third week of March and National Agriculture Week to give farmers a thumbs up which runs from the `18th to the 24th. To help get you motivated for Spring cleaning, observe National Clutter Awareness Week from the 19th to the 25th followed by National Cleaning Week from the 25th to the 31st.
March is a time when we look forward to the warmer months ahead and look to put the gloomy winter months behind us. Find an occasion and have a party to shake the colder months off and get ready for spring.

History is filled with great works of art based on Christian themes. The Last Supper by Leonardo (despite what Dan Brown tried to do to ruin it) immediately comes to mind as well as do works by Michaelangelo, Rafael and others. Throughout most of history, art has been the friend of Christianity -- the latter inspiring the former, and the former responding with works of such beauty and love as to inspire the latter.
But that has now changed.
Two articles came to my attention this morning, both of which show the alarming state of disrespect that artists (and I use the term loosely) have for Christians and for Jesus Christ. The first comes from the Oklahoman in an article entitled Planned new film to fill gaps in Jesus' 'missing years'. As the title suggests, Hollywood (which has shown no almost no respect for Christianity since the Biblical-based movies of the 1950s) is preparing to put out a new film that will supposedly recount Jesus' activities during the missing years -- the years about which almost nothing is said of Jesus in the Bible (roughly the ages from 12-30).
Since the Bible is the best account of the life of Jesus Christ, and since it is silent on the issue of where Jesus went, what exactly do the filmmakers intend to have Jesus doing? To no one's surprise, they apparently plan to follow the old "Jesus went to the East and learned Hinduism" angle.
The $20 million film will portray Jesus as He follows the ancient Silk Road, with stops in India, Persia and Egypt among other places. Along the way, Jesus will come to know "the world's greatest seers and sages" and will reunite with the Magi who visited His crib in Bethlehem, producers say.
But, of course, Christians need not worry that this will lead non-Christians to believe unreal things about Jesus -- after all, according to Dale Martin, a religious studies professor at Yale University, there's "no problem with it as long as it's clear the film is a work of fiction, not a retelling of history." Yeah, that worked real well with the Da Vinci Code, didn't it?
Not to be outdone, a Canadian artist has sculpted Jesus with an erect penis. According to Canadian artist's sexual statues enrage U.K. religious groups:
Terence Koh, the provocative Canadian darling of the New York art scene, has aroused controversy in Britain after a top gallery displayed one of his sculptures showing Jesus with an erect penis.
Media reported that Mr. Koh's statue at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead "has offended Christians and visitors alike."
Yeah, I'm sure that this guy's art will someday be compared favorably to the great sculputes of Michaelangelo, aren't you?
This is typical of the art of today. It is the downturn in art that Francis Schaeffer complained about. He appropriately noted that once modern man (needlessly) lost hope in a unified field of knowledge and became nothing more than a cosmic accident (in his view), his art became more and more bizarre and ugly. This is simply further evidence that he was right.
Oh, and for those of you who think that there is no difference between Christians and Islamic radicals, I should note that no one in the Christian church is calling for the makers of this film or Mr. Koh to be killed for defaming Christ. There are calls that Mr. Koh's pornographic work be destroyed and there are certainly those among us who hope that what will apparently be an awful Jesus movie bomb at the box office, but no one is calling for anyone to be killed. Think about that next time you try to say that Christianity is worse than Islamo-fascism.

Usually, when you buy something, you pay for it just once. But if you're a US taxpayer, you're paying twice for the food system you're "buying" with your hard-earned tax dollars. An example: today's massive federal farm subsidies encourage farming practices that lead to toxic algae blooms, drinking water pollution, and other costly problems we have to pay for again downstream. By contrast, modest investment in just one proven alternative farming system would achieve annual savings—in the form of water pollution averted—of $850 million. Read more >

Why We Need a Policy for Food, Health and Wellbeing
November 12, 2014 1:36 PM EDT
This week I've joined a number of food system leaders at the New York Times Food For Tomorrow conference, where the role of public policy in the food system has been a recurrent topic. Public policy is about directing public resources to support the public interest. It is for this reason that this weekend I joined Mark Bittman, Michael Pollan and Olivier De Schutter in calling for a better way for this nation to manage its food and agriculture system.

The taxman cometh. At my house, the 1040 is signed and the check is written, joining millions of others in the mail this week.

How a (Farm) Bill Became a Law
February 10, 2014 5:06 PM EDT
Much has been written about the ugly sausage-making of the just-ended farm bill process: the abandoned opportunity to truly reform the nation's farm subsidy system, the cynical refusal to deny subsidies to millionaire farmers, and the 4 percent of food stamp beneficiaries who ultimately took it on the chin. But now that President Obama has signed the thing into law, it's worth reviewing a number of real and meaningful wins that UCS and its allies and supporters achieved in this bill. And also noting that our work isn't done. Read more >
Refocusing the Farm Bill
July 19, 2013 4:14 PM EDT
The current farm bill debate is unprecedented, shaking to its very foundation the powerful alliance of commodity and food stamp interests that has driven farm bills for decades. The failure of the House to include a nutrition program in its version of the farm bill, while lavishing public monies on farmers to encourage commodity crop production, is the height of hypocrisy…and mean-spirited as well.

I look around the shop. Halcyone looks completely exhausted, and Taurus is asleep on the table, with his bull standing next to his head.
You're not tired? You've already mastered more than they will for the next month.
I shake my head. "If anything, I feel better, stronger."
So you are as strong as I thought you were.
I smile. "So I'm sure your real name isn't Aries. Am I allowed to know what it is?"
And smart, too. My real name is Ares.
"Like mine, but spelled differently." I turn and look out the window, knowing that after today, nothing will ever be the same for me again. "So is this bonding going to affect me in any way other than what it already has?"
I do not know, my first bond did not last long enough for us to completely understand one another.
"But it lasted for a full year. That wasn't long enough?"
A year is like a month when you are never going to die.
"Am I going to be immortal, too?"
Hard to say, Aries. Katrina is still alive and has not aged as much as she should, so mayhap you are now.
"How old is Katrina really?"
Not old when you are immortal, but you can say she is five hundred-seven years.
"One last question. I'm going to be engaged soon. Will I be able to tell Jay about this?"
Ares' eyes turn sad and I know the answer. Just like with my art, this is one area of my life that Jay will never be able to understand or be a part of.
A few hours later, Katrina sends me away with a smile and her blessing. I'll never be able to look at her the same way now that I know how old she really is.
The magic shop isn't too far from my house, meaning that Jay won't be home for another hour or so, giving me time to paint. I grab my brushes out of the jar on the windowsill and wash out the remainders of the last paint project as I hear footsteps behind me.
"You're home early, Jay," I say as I dry my hands off on a small towel and turn around. The man standing behind me isn't Jay. He's tall and long, with runes and symbols tattooed all over his muscular arms and torso.
"Who are you?"
He smiles, his dark eyes glittering with amusement. "I'm surprised you don't remember me, Aries. After all, I've been a regular in your dreams for quite some time now."
A flashback from a dream shows him standing next to a gold and black wolf, Lupine.
"You're Lupis," I say as I slowly reach behind me for a knife.
Lupis nods, his smile being replaced with a smirk. "Come now, none of that," he says as he moves his hand and the knife in mine flies toward him and clatters to the floor at his feet.
"What do you want?"
Lupis slowly takes a few steps closer, the dim lighting making his black hair seem to glow. "Because you're like me, Aries. You want power, control. You're stronger than Halcyone and Taurus, you know that."
He's caught my curiosity.
"You didn't answer my question."
Lupis laughs, the sound carrying the echoes of a wolf howl. "You're more like me than you know, Aries. That's why I've chosen you to rule the energy star with me." His dark eyes bore into mine. "You want the power I can give you, Aries, we both know that." His voice drops to a whisper as he steps even closer. "Imagine the feel of it, all the power when the two strongest points join together."
"What do you mean?" I ask, my voice slightly trembling.
Lupis leans closer, his warm breath washing over my ear. "You're the key for us to have all the power in the world and more." He presses his lips against mine, and I see everything he's talking about. I also taste the power I can have if I join him.
Lupis pulls back and whispers in my ear, "Think about it, Aries."
He vanishes, leaving me alone in the kitchen. I sink down to the floor, my knees weak from the desire of the power that Lupis showed me.
I'm still sitting like this on the floor when Jay comes home three hours later.
"Aries? What's wrong?"
I ignore him and get to my feet. "I need to get some air."

Voters say U.S. President Barack Obama did a better job than Republican challenger Mitt Romney in Monday's debate but their opinions of each candidate did not shift significantly, according to Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.
About 47 per cent of registered voters surveyed in the online poll judged Mr. Obama the victor, while 31 per cent believed Mr. Romney won.
But neither candidate's favourability ratings shifted in the wake of Monday's debate, the last of three televised matchups before the Nov. 6 election. Likewise, voter assessments of the candidates on a range of issues from the economy to foreign policy did not change by a statistically significant margin.
Mr. Obama's favourability rating ticked up by one percentage point to 57 per cent, a statistically insignificant change. Mr. Romney's favourability also inched up one point, to 54 per cent.
The full impact of the debate on the race will not show up in opinion polls for several more days, but it is unlikely that it will give either candidate a big enough boost to break their statistical tie, Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said.
"By this point in the election cycle a lot of people have formed a more complete view of each candidate," Ms. Clark said.
The accuracy of Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. The survey of 515 registered voters, conducted on Tuesday after the debate, has a credibility interval of 4.9 percentage points.
The debate did appear to move the needle with some voters, but not in a way that clearly benefited either candidate.
About 22 per cent of those surveyed said they had a more positive view of Mr. Obama after the debate, while 19 per cent said they had a more negative view, and 54 per cent said their opinion did not change one way or another.
The same pattern held for Mr. Romney: 22 per cent viewed him in a more positive light, 21 per cent viewed him more negatively and 48 per cent said their opinion did not change.
A separate Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll has shown Mr. Obama and Mr. Romney to be within three percentage points of each other since the first debate on Oct. 3. As of Tuesday, Mr. Obama led by one percentage point, well within the poll's credibility interval.Report Typo/Error

I could use a little help with my 'shoulder season' list for 2-5 nights, solo this Fall, early Winter, and early Spring on the Appalachian Trail. I'm a cold, side sleeper. I'm trying out new shoes. Thanks for any critiques of my list.

Hi Jesse,
The "Action" column in your list does not display correctly on my screen. It is too narrow.
I can't comment on the heavier items but here are a few suggestions:
Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA batteries: 7.6 grams each
BPL titanium stakes: 6.1 grams each
Leave the pen at home and write on your iPhone? Or better, leave the iPhone at home and keep the pen!

The No Sniveler will likely not be warm enough for Winter and early Spring, even with your insulating jacket and pants.Sep 14, 2010 at 6:17 am #1645435
todd harperBPL Member
@funnymoLocale: Sunshine State
Nice list, Jesse.
Chris is correct – as a cold sleeper you will want more insulated clothing or quilt in that area during those times. I use the NS & other sleep items (similar setup to yours') and have made it down to 19* on a couple of occasions. I think I'm a "normal" to mildly warm sleeper.
Ultimately I would prefer a little more warmth when it's that low!! Your pad setup should be warm enough – good choices.
Do you need both stuff sacks (mesh & S2S) in your cook kit? Other than that, carrying less tape, ditching the music, etc are areas to save weight, but if it makes your hiking/camping more enjoyable or comfortable, then DO NOT change it. Not much else to comment on.

@andyfLocale: Midwest/Midatlantic
I would carry the most basic essentials on-person because packs have a way of separating from their owners at the worst possible times.
plastic pealess whistle (pealess works when waterlogged, plastic won't bond to lips when cold)
lighter or firesteel
dry tinder
Backup water purification (is it boiling using a wood fire?)
I'd prefer a second trekking pole after trying both the none and one options.Sep 15, 2010 at 7:37 am #1645757
Jesse McKinneyMember
@jessemckinneyLocale: Mid-Atlantic
Thank you all for your suggestions.
I'll look into the batteries and lighter tent stakes. I love my paper PATC maps, but they really are heavy. Sorry, but I have to have my iPhone for trail music.
I'm looking at replacing my No Sniveller with Jacks r' Better's Old Rag Mt., Rocky Mountain Sniveller, or another 4-season quilt. I'll also probably add in a vest and a wool base layer bottoms when it's really cold. Any recommendations on a winter quilt?
The mesh bag holds my 'kitchen' together, while the sil bag holds all of my food. I'm feeling really good about getting down to 3 'organizer' bags. When I finally get a Z-Packs bag with strap pockets I'll knock out one more bag.
I usually keep my map on me, but I'll consider keeping those other items on me as well. I don't think hiking on the local stretches of the AT without these items in my pocket is too much of a risk. I really like my razor blade instead of a knife. With the kind of cooking I do on the trail it's all I really need. I have a pealess whistle built into the sternum strap of my Gossamer Gear backpack. I can use an Esbit tab for a fire starter if needed. I've been thinking about adding a few aquamira tabs for a backup water purification. Also, I prefer carrying two trekking poles as well.

Outdoor workers brave the cold
Even when the mercury dips below zero, there are plenty of people who have no choice and must work outside.
You may think it's cold.
"It's really not too bad if you just layer up and dress for it and wear the right gear," explained Dave Hoffman, who cycles his way through downtown delivering sandwiches for Jimmy John's. He's numb to the elements.
"You learn to ignore it," he said, pulling down a face mask. "It's one of those things you just kind of get used to it. And the longer you get out in it the easier it becomes."
When your job entails making sure everyone is happy all the time, you've got to make sure you're delivery is warm.
"Gentlemen, have a safe trip back! Hopefully see you again soon," said Jacob Crouch as he packed a guest's bags into a car at the Downtown Marriott.
"Hopefully business dictates to where you can take a few breaks inside the hotel so you're not outside the whole eight hours," said Crouch, who is a shift manager at the hotel.
In between parking cars, valets at the Downtown Marriott also take advantage of warming lamps.
"There's very little wind. It's okay. Like right, now it's as good as it gets. But when it gets down to the negatives, there's nothing you can do about it," said Crouch.
While most of us want to wash away all that winter has brought, a small army of workers at Mike's Car wash are doing all they can to stay warm.
"Plenty of people come in and that way we can keep rotating. At least three people selling minimum out here, so it's like a vicious cycle. Everyone comes in and out," said Matt Graham, general manager at Mike's Car Wash near 12th and Meridian.
Normally busy downtown streets are nearly empty this frigid lunchtime - which is good news to Dave.
"Everyone's just kinda like, 'oh, yeah, we don't want to go outside so we called you guys.' And they normally compensate us pretty well so we don't mind it. It's not too bad," said Hoffman.
Suggested Links
Not bad if your glass is half full - and you've got thick skin.
"I'm having a great day, sun's shining, little cold. It's not very windy though so that makes it way better," said Hoffman.
The good news: the temperature in Indianapolis will reach 32. The bad news: we have to wait until Friday!
