Grade school and high school years
MT: Today is the 21st of April 2004. The time is 6:20 in the evening, and I am going to sit down and have a conversation about the war years with Pete Giotta and his wife, Carmelina. We're going to proceed now. I have given Pete my suggestions and questions and we'll get started with our interview. General background questions. Your name and date.
PG: My name is Pete Giotta and the date of birth is October 16, 1929.
MT: And what were your parent's names?
PG: Nick Giotta and Carmela Giotta.
MT: And Giotta is spelled G-I-O-T-T-A.
PG: Exactly.
MT: Where did your parents come from?
PG: From Putignano,
MT: How do you spell Putignano?
MT: And what year did they migrate to the
PG: Dad came over here in 19 . . . let me think a while. Vito was born in 1908 . . . 1892 . . . oh, 1912.
MT: Vito was your brother?
PG: Yes. I'm trying to place the time.
MT: Well, to help, when did your family move to Visalia or your parents come to Visalia?
PG: Originally, my dad had a brother who came
here in 1909 and he moved to Visalia. There had been some other immigrants who came
here because this climate, this area, was the same climate and area as Southern
Italy that folks came from. My dad came here by himself in 1916 and settled in New
York for a little bit and went into the Army. The U.S. Army and the First World War and
fought in
MT: The Great World War,World War I.
PG: And they settled on Bridge Street, the house that my uncle had. My uncle moved onto a ranch south and east of Visalia, close to Tulare.
MT: Do you recall what the nearest cross street to your first home was?
PG: Myrtle.
MT: Myrtle. OK. Myrtle and Bridge. What did you dad do when he migrated here?
PG: Farm laborer. Then he became a farm labor contractor. That's what most immigrants did when they got here; they went to work in the fields.
MT: So if your dad came in 1920, what year were you born in?
MT: And you were in the house on Myrtle and Bridge?
PG: Yes, at 442 South Bridge Street.
MT: So if you were born in '29, in 1941 you were about 12 years old. What is your first recollection of the years 1939, 1940, 1941?
PG: Not much, other than going to school and working and kind of helping out for the war effort. In those days, there was no age limit. You could go to work at any age you want. We went to school, but during the summer time, we went to work in the fields. My first pay job was at nine years old picking grapes for raisins. Worked three days that year for a fellow there in Visalia on Tulare Avenue, which was all vineyards in that area at the time.
The next year I worked a couple of weeks, but in the meantime, I always worked with Dad. He had a little 10-acre ranch out there on the corner at-- Pinkham and Tulare Avenue. There was a little 10-acre place there that we farmed. And everything was done pretty well by hand. You hoed weeds by hand and you sulphured the vineyard vines by hand. You always kept busy. I don't recollect not having something to do at all times. We didn't get to go here or go there, you know.
MT: What elementary school did you go to in '39 and the 40's?
PG: The first to the fifth grade we went to Washington School and then we went to Jefferson School from the fifth to the sixth and then we went to Sierra Vista School for seventh and eighth.
MT: And where did you go to high school?
PG: Visalia High School.
MT: Which is now?
PG: Redwood.
MT: Were you still living in the same house on Myrtle?
PG: Not on Myrtle, but on Bridge Street. The nearest cross street was Myrtle.
MT: What is your first recollection of the real war starting and the bombing of Pearl Harbor?
PG: We heard about it, that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor. Now wait a minute, we're talking about the Second World War?
MT: Yes. You recall the Second World War, Pearl Harbor. Do you recall where you were when you first heard about the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the reaction of you and your friends?
PG: It was at Sierra Vista School in the 7th or 8th grade. In the first place, who knew Pearl Harbor before that day? We didn't know about Pearl Harbor. That was just something new. You found out about it in a hurry. It was part of Hawaii, etc., and we have a big naval fleet there and whatever happened. But we were pretty sheltered kids in those days. We didn't have all the TV, computers and all this access to information that we have now. So we were pretty sheltered.
MT: How big was your circle of friends when you were 12 or 13 years old? Was it kids you mostly worked with on the ranches?
PG: No, just the kids around your neighborhood. And then around Bridge Street, Garden Street, Church Street,kids you went to school with from kindergarten on up. That was your circle of friends.
MT: And were most the kids with you from kindergarten on up?
PG: Oh sure.
MT: For the most part.
PG: Some of them moved away and then you'd add one or two along the way, but for the most part it was all those kids you'd been with in the neighborhood.
MT: Were there Japanese kids in your neighborhood?
PG: No, we had the Gongs, which were folks from the meat market, that were some Chinese kids that came in the system in around the 3rd grade and they had to be taught English. No Japanese kids in the area at the time, though.
MT: Did you have any German kids?
PG: Sure, we had German kids right across the street, the Zeigler's. And another German family right next door to us, they were Ziegler's, they were brothers and they didn't have any children. There was no . . .
MT: Was there any kind of an animosity because
the Germans were fighting in Europe and the
Japanese are bombing us in
PG: No, I didn't feel any.
MT: When you went to high school, freshman, sophomore or junior year, the war was really heating up. What kinds of things can you recall that struck you at the time?
PG: It seemed pretty normal, other than the gasoline rationing. You couldn't get sugar and things like that and chewing gum, you couldn't get chewing gum. I remember Wrigley Spearmint was very smart. They had billboards that said, "Don't forget this wrapper." So after the war you had chewing gum. There were shortages but we managed. Shortages weren't something that had any effect on us because we never did have a lot to start with. It's not like now where you have candy and ice cream everyday. It was just not there. The billboard with Wrigley's ad on it was on the corner of Santa Fe and Houston.
MT: Did you and your buddies, your younger friends, work on recycling programs in the war effort to go out and find recycled metal, paper and whatever else?
PG: No, but we did do some farm work and pick cotton or sweet potatoes. You had to help out in the food production or what have you, because there weren't that many men around.
MT: Were there family members, brothers or sisters, who were older than you?
PG: Yes.
MT: Vito was older. Did you have other siblings that were older?
PG: My sister Ida. Ida's eight years older than me. She 82. We had another sister, Antoinette, that was seven years older than me, and then my sister Louise was five years older than me.
Ed. See interview with Ida Romanazzi
MT: And then your brother Vito, where did he fall into this?
PG: He was 18 years older.
MT: Did Vito go to World War II?
PG: No, he didn't. He was working for the government in the Customs Service and stuff like that.
MT: Your sisters were older. Did they have any involvement in the war effort, whether it be volunteer, canteen, working with the air bases, Rankin Field or Sequoia Field?
PG: No, no. Other than just working, filling in here and there. Ida worked at the cannery and stuff like that. Things had needed to be done. At an early age, you could go to work.
MT: Were they married during the war years?
PG: No.
MT: They were still single. Okay. As you were going through high school, did you have friends older than you who were being drafted as they were graduating?
PG: Yes. See, there was this gap. It was more or less the ones that were 6 or 7 years older than me that were being drafted. And we were looking to, if the war continued on, naturally we would be getting there also, but the war ended in four years.
MT: You were a freshman in 1943, so you wouldn't have been eligible until '46 or '47.
PG: Right.
MT: I had a question on Pearl Harbor. Is there any particular event after Pearl Harbor relating to the war and how it might have affected this community? What stands out in your memory?
PG: We were so far away from the war and we didn't have television like they do now. All we knew was what was in the paper or on the radio, so it seemed like something that was happening, but the only time it had some effect on you was when you heard some local person, some young man, got killed in the war. Like, we had one here that was Bert Mastrangelo, Vino Mastrangelo's brother and he got killed over there, so that kind of affected us. But other than that, you didn't know what was going on.
MT: Did you have any immediate family or really close friends that lost anybody overseas?
PG: Yes, the Mastrangelo's and other close friends.
MT: You were getting a little older when the
Atomic Bomb was dropped on
PG: I thought it was terrible. If they had something of that magnitude that would cause so much death and damage, why didn't they do it on an atoll or some island where there were no inhabitants or anything on it just to show what they could do and say, "Look, you're going to shape up or we're going to do this." And to do two bombs, that was inexcusable. One would have been enough.
MT: Was this kind of a general topic of conversation.
PG: That was my feeling.
MT: How did your friends feel about it?
PG: Some felt the same way. I don't think it was justified, not justified at all. Two wrongs never make a right. Some say look what they did at Pearl Harbor. I mean, Pearl Harbor was certainly devastating. It was something like, "What's going on? How can that happen?" It was terrible.
MT: But all in all would you consider that World War II was a just war that needed to happen?
PG: Is there ever a just war?
MT: Hard to say.
PG: I mean we said that was going to be the war to end all wars, and we've had more wars than we had before. I mean it was just the fact that we would be taken over by other countries and we didn't want that to happen. And we did go over there and help all our allies, which was the right thing to do. It was terrible what Hitler was doing and terrible what the Japanese were doing at the time. I don't know the answer.
We still don't know the answers. Look at
MT: True. When . . . As you were going through your sophomore through senior years, did you have friends working for the government, working out at Sequoia Field or Rankin Field or performing services for the GI's in the community.
PG: I'm sure there were. My brother was in charge in this area of the
bracero program, where they brought the Mexicans over from
MT: Being that you were general farm labor, did any of the military bases hire general labor to come out and work on those bases?
PG: I'm sure they did.
MT: But you didn't experience that.
PG: No.
MT: Okay.
PG: We had Sequoia Field out here and that was the closest thing to it.
MT: Did you family ever have an opportunity to entertain GI's that were here training to be pilots or anything like that?
PG: No.
MT: So you never had any contact in any way?
PG: No.
MT: Where were you when the war ended? Do you recall?
PG: No.
MT: Do you recall your reaction when it was over?
PG: Oh sure. We were all ecstatic, just tickled to death that the war had ended. What day did the war end? Do you have the date?
MT: I'd have to look it up.
PG: We were in school and the cease-fire came. We were just thrilled to death because no one wants war. You think of all your friends that are in the Army and the potential of being killed. With all that had gone for years, Iwo Jima and that stuff, you are just glad that the war is over. We thought that was the end of it - that we weren't going to have any more wars, but that was a pipe dream.
MT: As the war went on through those early years of the 1940's, were there changes in your family life besides the rationing. What was going on in the community that really was different than what you were accustomed to?
PG: Well, I didn't notice much difference, myself personally. Other than the rationing and things like that because we didn't have much to start with. If you don't have much to start with, you don't know what you don't have.
MT: Were there movies for you guys?
PG: Yes, there were movies, but you didn't get to go to the movies because you didn't have the money to go. The Fox Theater used to have movies and when we were in high school sometimes we'd go on a Saturday. They had talent shows, kiddie club and all that stuff.
MT: Now where did they hold the talent shows?
PG: Over at the kiddie club at the Fox Theater, Visalia. Some guy by the name of Augie Shultz, they'd have competitions. Kids would get up there and sing or dance or do different things and then they'd have a runoff at the end and then a final.
MT: Were you a participant in these shows? What was your specialty?
PG: I'd sing. And on the final, naturally, I got beat out by a lovely girl my same age who graduated with me, Patty Ann Clore. She was a contortionist, an acrobat.
MT: And what was her last name?
PG: Clore, Patty Clore. These acrobats turn themselves inside out and bend. Oh gosh. She won the competition after six or eight weeks, whatever it was. It was just fun deal. Mainly you won if you have a lot of friends out in the audience. But in her case, she won because of her talent. It was just as simple as that.
MT: Now you didn't have to pay an admission for this?
PG: Ten cents.
MT: Oh, ten cents.
PG: Ten cents to get into the show.
MT: The show meaning an actual movie, but for the kid day, was that part of the community service?
PG: That was part of the afternoon matinee program on Saturdays. The kiddie club.
MT: So typically, you would go in early on a Saturday and then do your kiddie club first?
PG: I don't recall. I think you'd do it during the break, one part or the other, first or afterwards I can't recall.
MT: Let's talk about the Italians.
PG: Basically they were all here just working
away. She was talking about if they felt
any difference during the war, but there wasn't much difference during the
war. There was some curfew, you know, a
little bit of a curfew for the Italians there for while that I recall. It didn't register to me until later, but
other than that they felt very secure here. My dad was a veteran of the First World War, and so he had no problems
at all. He always put
MT: We talked a little bit about rationing. Do you recall any black market activities or things going on where people were having to stretch.
PG: Not amongst the Italians, they were pretty self-sufficient. They had their gardens; they had all their food they raised and what have you. They didn't lack for the basics, you know, the vegetables, the horse (Fava) beans, pasta, and tomatoes. They all made their own bread. They had these outside brick ovens. They saved the prunings from the trees and they used that to fire the ovens. They had their wood stoves, so they basically faired pretty well.
MT: Did the Italian community stay pretty much to themselves and keep their support within their community or did they reach out beyond?
PG: I don't know what to say about staying within themselves. They were just in the mainstream of life; they had their own ways, but they didn't bother anybody.
MT: Did you recall if your family participated in war bonds, those activities?
PG: Yes, we bought war bonds. If fact I had a $75 bond and that doesn't seem like much now but it was all we could handle at that time. It was big money.
MT: Were there other savings kinds of programs that you were involved with beside the bonds?
PG: Basically, that was it. The bonds, I think you could buy them in increments and then you could buy the bond. You could buy them $10 at a time, or $20 dollars that I recall, and when you got to a certain amount you got a bond.
MT: You mentioned that your parents were pretty tight with their activities and how much freedom they allowed you. How did the war years affect your dating for instance, getting around in the community? Did you have girlfriends?
PG: Are you kidding? You couldn't afford a girlfriend. (Laughter) I was in the first year at COS and I met the first girl I took out. I actually made a date. Actually, it was the last year of High School, because I didn't have a car. It was my senior year. Took this girl out and she lived way over there on Houston and Santa Fe Street which was about 2 ½ miles from where I lived, so I walked all the way over there to get her, went to the Fox Theater, took her back home. We went to the café there across the street. We called it McDonald's, not the McDonald's as we know it, but it belonged to a guy named Ben McDonald, which is Forlini's Restaurant now. And that's where I ate my first hamburger out in a restaurant. First time I ever ate out in a restaurant. After the evening was done it cost me $2.75 and I said boy, I can't afford this and that was the last girl I took out for a couple of years. It just wasn't there to be done. I'll never forget that. And I'm glad I waited because I ended up with this beautiful wife, Carmaline.
Now that I think about it, there was an effort for kids to help harvest agricultural products. School opened up a little later.
MT: We'll get back into this. I wanted to clean up a few things on community and national life. Were there any neighborhood organizations that would watch for blackouts or do special collection drives, special events related to the war?
PG: Not that I can remember.
MT: None that you can recall.
PG: There were different events for war bonds and stuff like that, but it's not something I thought anything of.
MT: Then back on the rationing that you mentioned a few minutes ago. You mentioned that during the rationing time . . . .
PG: Gasoline, sugar, butter, I don't recall the flour. Like I said a lot of those things didn't mean a thing at 12 or 13, 14 years old. We didn't have a lot anyhow. We had a lot of pasta, vegetables from the garden, etc. It was that big a thing. Meat was rationed too.
MT: Denims, blue jeans?
PG: Yes, blue jeans. Levi's.
MT: How many could you get a month?
PG: Like you go down there, which was a store called Don McWilliams. At that time it was Frieta's and you'd go down there and see if you could get a pair of Levi's. Maybe get a pair a year. It was tough to get a pair of Levi's. First you needed the money to get them. They were $4.25 at that time.
MT: How about work shoes? Were those rationed?
PG: I never remembered work shoes being rationed, because we needed those to work in.
MT: Do you recall anything about the holocaust being talked about? Did you listen as a family to the radio at night for the world events and then they would talk about the holocaust and other major atrocities?
PG: That was far away from us. We heard something about it, but at 14, it didn't make much of an impression on me. Later on, through the years as we grew older, we call history, that was quite a shameful thing, terrible.
MT: Did you have a sense of the Japanese being relocated from Visalia to the camps when you were at Visalia High School? Were there kids you knew being moved out?
PG: Yes. That was terrible, too. We had Japanese that were in the Army here. The Japanese were just like Italians or the Germans. They were hard working people here. They had their farms taken away from them, but that was just a lot of politics, a lot of hype as far as the government was. It was a show. That was terrible. Certainly, there was someone in the Italian community that couldn't be trusted, or in the German community or in the Japanese, but not to take a whole group of people and put them in concentration camps. That was crazy.
MT: Did kids at the high school object as a group? Were they vocal about them taking kids out of school?
PG: No, there was not demonstration like we have now. There wasn't that type of communication. We didn't have that kind of media to see. We didn't have the TV that was inciting everybody. Things were done and you didn't know about it until maybe weeks later.
MT: Did your family sit down and listen to the news every night on the radio just to stay abreast of what was going on in the World War?
PG: Mainly what we did was read the paper. We didn't have the Times Delta. My dad had the Italian paper that came there. It was printed in San Francisco and he'd sit there at night and read the paper to all his Italian neighbors that were there in that area of Bridge Street. Let me see how many families there were, let me count, let's see, 7 or 8 families in that general area and they'd come over and sit under the grape arbor and he would read the paper to them and they'd keep up with the events that were going on in the world. They were quite interested in world events and the war effort and what have you.
MT: Did the older Italian families, did they read and write in English? Or was is still old country?
PG: Some of them did and some didn't, but that didn't make them any less intelligent. Reading and writing is something, but as far as the mind being intelligent, they're just as smart as anybody, maybe smarter. They were all hard working people. Everybody had to work hard or you didn't eat.
MT: How do you think World War II affected Tulare County as a whole, in retrospect for you at that time?
PG: Well, it prospered. Agriculture prospered. One of the big effects was some of the farmers during the war made some money, finally. That was the greatest thing that I had seen. If a man had a piece of land and was farming before the war, he was having a tough time. And the war put a few dollars in his pocket.
MT: Was your father able to extend his farm, the ten acres he had on McAuliff through the war years?
PG: Right after the war he bought twenty acres out here by Tarusa School, north of Visalia.
MT: Where the market went?
PG: No, no, way beyond that. About 352, Avenue 352 and he bought twenty acres out there and farmed it until he died. In those days if you had twenty acres, that was a pretty good size farm. Forty acres, one hundred acres was great for just an individual farmer. Not like now. A man could make a living off of even ten acres of grapes or whatever you had. Now things have changed.
MT: Did your brother Vito farm during those years?
PG: No. He worked for the Immigration Service and he worked with the government and then he went into business. In '51 he bought a store out here in Ivanhoe.
MT: Was he working for the Immigration Service during the World War II years?
PG: Well, like I said, he worked in the bracero program where they brought these Mexicans here to work on the farms.
MT: And that was actually during the war years and after.
PG: He worked for the Customs Service in San Francisco, so he worked for the government quite a bit.
MT: Do you recall any of the Japanese returning to the community after the war?
PG: No, I recall them coming back but not something that was of great significance. There weren't that many Japanese in the area at that time. There wasn't that many. There was the Sumida family that had a store in Visalia.
MT: Roy Sumida?
PG: Roy Sumida's dad. He had a general store there that you could buy a lot of things from. Basically I'd go over they and buy knives to cut grapes with. And then they sold fireworks for the 4th of July.
MT: Were they in the same business before the war?
PG: No. Not the drug store business. The boys became pharmacists. Roy and his brother. But before the war, the Sumidas had the store right there on the corner where the drug store was, at Bridge and Center. It was kind of a general store. At the time, they had a lot of things that you needed. He sold clothes there and seeds there. It was quite a nice store, a general merchandise store.
ED: See the interview with Roy Sumida.
MT: Reflecting back now, is there anything you would like to make sure you get in on this oral history that is important to you about the war years?
PG: Not that I can think of.
MT: Something we haven't touched on.
PG: Well the fact of it was that was important that we were hoping as young men that the war would end and we wouldn't have to go to war. It was a situation that you generally didn't want to be a potential target, so we were glad when the war was over, because we were the next in line. You know, they took, they drafted guys almost up into their 40's as I recall. Some older guys. They were really hard for personnel. I remember Chuck Bastrire; he was close to 40 when they drafted him.
MT: Well, that pretty much covers your World War II years. It is presently 7:20 and this will be the end of the interview with Pete Giotta on April 21, 2004.
PG: Thank you. I wish I could give you more information, but that's all the information I have.
MT: We appreciate every little bit.

Yup. That would definitely make me jump in front of a bus.

I'd get at least three. For volume and probably a nice reverberation.

Install internally on an unliked user's desktop, lock the case, and sign them up for every newsletter in sight. (May need to waterproof their chair as well)

I would modify the cable to be underneath it and run it through the desk. Then, replace the bell on the receptionist's desk. That would scare the crap out of her :-D

This is the final installment of Willow Moon's comparison of his dual observance of Faerie Witchcraft and Tibetan Buddhism. Here are the previous parts one and two. I am so grateful to have such a thoughtful practitioner share their observances with us!*****Ethics are perhaps the area where Buddhism and Faerie Witchcraft diverge the most. In Buddhism there are many rules for conduct but they all boil down to the basic ethics associated with the three levels of vows taken before … [Read more...]

Celebrating Imbolc Quietly
When I was living in Wales I felt the seasons shift at Imbolc. Snow drops raised their cheery heads from cold earth. The sheep in the pastures across from my house began their lambing. The light grew demonstrably stronger. Occasionally the daffodils would poke up, bright yellow promises of sunlight to come.Here in the Pacific Northwest I also feel the growing light in my bones. It's still cold and wet and grey - reminding me that we are still in winter's clutch. I don't see any snow … [Read more...]
Maxim Monday: Praise Hope
Expectation, desire, wishes, ambition - these are words associated with hope (so Google tells me). As with most things, these words can express extremes. They can conjure up a fantasy world disconnected with the harsh realities of life, the worst of 'magical thinking.' Or they can be expressions of a positive attitude, high expectations, and the best of magical thinking.This ancient oracle encourages us to praise hope, so let's look to the second, more positive take on this word. I'm an … [Read more...]

Inner knowledge is the development of what we have learned from others by mulling it over, … [Read more...]
On Being a Student
I know a little something about being a student: I've got a high school diploma, a bachelor's degree in history, most of a vocal performance degree, a master's degree in religious studies, and a few years of doctoral work in theology. I've spent probably ten full years in voice lessons with a total of nine different teachers and I've spent the last 8 years studying Feri/Faerie witchcraft with a total of four teachers.Yet, for all that studying, on my own and with teachers, I realized … [Read more...]

Dual observance is a theme at my blog. I practice Traditional Witchcraft and Hinduism on the left-hand Tantric side of things. The following guest post is written by Willow Moon. I am honored to have such a wise teacher share his experience here.Willow Moon has had a long and abiding interest in traditional Witchcraft since the 70's which led him to be initiated and trained in a number of Witchcraft traditions. In the early 80's he met his first primary Tibetan Buddhist teacher. He started … [Read more...]

Hi Billie,
Welcome to the wonderful world of professional genealogy. As in so
many areas of research, Google is your friend. When I was in the same
position as you I Googled "professional genealogy" and "contract".
That led me directly to the chapter on contracts in "Professional
Genealogy" which has already been recommended to you. Because I live
in the UK, a copy of that excellent book was not immediately available
to me and I had to order a copy via inter library loan, all the way
from the James Joyce Library in the University of Dublin. It was
worth the wait. Although our contract law here in the UK is different
from the USA, the chapter helped me considerably in drawing up my own
research agreement (I think that word frightens my clients less than
contract). All the other chapters in "Pro Gen" were a terrific help as
well - I found it essential reading.
The other result of my Google search was that it turned up a large
number of professional genealogists' websites with examples of their
own contracts for me to read. I was fascinated by how different they
all were and I learned something from each. I didn't copy anyone but,
having read a dozen or so, I was able to sit down and write my own
with a clear idea of what I wanted to achieve.
So I think it is a good thing there is no standard form we can use.
Just as the research services you offer will be unique to you, I think
your contract, agreement, call it what you will, should also be your
own creation, something that reflects what is important to you and
which you feel entirely comfortable sending to your clients.
Very best wishes in your new venture,
Caroline Gurney

To change between access granted and denied you just need to click on the logo at the top of the app, To reset the app, just click a second time on it before scanning. It can be fun at first but it gets repetitive after a while of playing with it.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - San Diegans and others who donated money to the campaign to recall Mayor Bob Filner could receive a portion of their donation back, according to the campaign's treasurer.
"They gave for the recall to get him out: he's out now and so any money we didn't use is going to go back," said campaign treasurer April Boling.
Boling said that of the $91,000 raised through donations, a little more than half has been spent on the effort to gather tens of thousands of signatures on petitions demanding Filner's recall.
Boling said that the majority of the donations came from individual citizens, who gave on average between $25 and $250. She added that, most likely, donors who gave more than $100 will receive back a sizeable portion of that amount.
Campaign chairman Michael Pallamary thanked dozens of campaign volunteers at what he called a "victory celebration" at a pub in Kearny Mesa on Wednesday evening.
Pallamary said that, once completely tallied, the number of signatures gathered could reach 45,000. He added that the recall effort played a critical role in convincing the mayor to accept a settlement that included his resignation.
"If it wasn't for such as show of force from the community, this could have dragged on," Pallamary said. "San Diego rose in a very powerful way, and (Filner) saw that coming fast... he needed to get out quickly."

By Linda Blandford; Linda Blandford, who lives in Los Angeles, writes for The Guardian of London.
Published: December 3, 1989
ON THE PARAMOUNT STUDIO LOT EARLY IN THE fall, there is a screening party given by the producers of ''Black Rain.'' As the credits appear, the crowd bursts into applause. ''Produced by Jaffe-Lansing, in association with Michael Douglas.'' Within the industry, this partnership has magical associations. More than most private screenings, this is a ''family'' affair.
Stanley Jaffe's father, Leo, spent nearly half a century at the top of Columbia Pictures. At 29, Stanley himself was already running Paramount. Sherry Lansing had been president of Twentieth Century-Fox, the first female head of a major studio. And Michael Douglas is that rare being - the son of a star whose career has not only survived but surpassed his father's. In the film world, everyone wants to touch success, as if it is somehow catching. ''Is Michael here yet?'' people keep asking.
Neon lights and an artificial mist swirl for the occasion around buffet tables laden with sushi and delicatessen. The studio heads, producers and stars gossip in the balmy night. Under the kindly lights, the stick-thin old and slender young look almost interchangeable. It is the illusion of Los Angeles that there is no ugliness.
Finally, just before 10, Douglas arrives. It changes the atmosphere. Heads crane, wanting to be aware of where he is and to whom he is talking. He kisses his father, his old friends, his mother. He is clean-shaven, his hair shines, his clothes are relaxed but smart. This is old Hollywood style, a far cry from the tough and surly brat packs.
He finds time for everyone: the little-known character actor he knew as a boy, the producer going through a fallow patch, the wives trying not to talk of car pools. Despite the women present - both in their own right and as adjuncts - there is still the atmosphere of a men's club. It is a close world, where work and friendship are often the same thing.
Douglas is relaxed and charming. His eyes do not dart around, he shows no impatience with those who take too long over their compliments. Later, he mentions that he has been asked to go into politics, and (Continued on Page 100) says he might consider it. He works the room well, this prince of Hollywood.
A SMALL TRAILER stands on a side street of Twentieth Century-Fox. In high summer, the air is thick with smog. It is one of the ironies of film making that its enormous financial rewards come with the tedium and shabbiness of the process. So much for being a star, whiling away the hours in this rickety caravan, waiting to be called. Once, all the land around belonged to Fox; now the sound stages are hidden behind Century City's skyscrapers, filled with lawyers and deal makers, and the studio is squeezed into this last, cramped corner of Pico Boulevard.
That, too, is an irony of film making: the supremacy of the men in offices, the contract brokers and packagers over the talent on the floor. And none of this is lost on the haggard and slightly puffy-looking actor, restlessly chain-smoking in his drab and airless trailer at Fox.
Michael Douglas probably commands a small fortune as an actor, after the success of ''Fatal Attraction'' (a Jaffe-Lansing film) and ''Wall Street'' (Oscar, best actor, 1987): ''Let's just say I've been offered $14 million.'' He has made an enormous fortune, though, as a producer: ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'' (Oscar, best picture, '75), ''The China Syndrome,'' ''Romancing the Stone,'' ''Jewel of the Nile'' and ''Black Rain.'' Three times he has been asked to head major studios; each time he refused. ''You lose all your friends. You have to feed this voracious machine. And what do I end up with? A producing deal? Some stock?'' Few actors could play a tycoon star such as Gordon Gekko of ''Wall Street'' and pull it off convincingly. (''It's all about bucks, kid, the rest is conversation.'') In part, it is Douglas's real legacy in being second-generation - not that he was handed a career but that he saw and understood the wolfish power of money as he grew up. Without realizing it, he paid attention. He is at Fox to finish one last week on ''The War of the Roses,'' a strange black comedy directed by Danny DeVito, starring Douglas, Kathleen Turner and DeVito. His part is another oddball Douglas tour de force: he traces the descent of a beautifully tailored lawyer into a brawling, raunchy whirlwind of destruction. This is not his film: his only responsibility is to show up and last. On the final day of shooting, he worked 21 hours straight. ''I love being an actor for hire. No one cherishes that more than I do.''
Acting, he says, is tunnel vision. Producing is 360-degree vision. To do both at once is almost a contradiction in terms. To be the producer is to be part policeman, part nanny. To be the star is to be the cherished and gifted child. ''Producer slash actor is very awkward for people. They don't know how to deal with you. You've hired everybody who does everything. You've signed the contracts. People don't like to applaud the employer.''

It's all about De-Anne's bananas
Page Tools
I now deeply regret putting my name to the petition of 43 criticising the Government's involvement in Iraq.
It's not because Paddy McGuinness called me an "old fart". For in doing this he merely reinforced my concerns about lies in public places. McGuinness was born in 1938 and I first saw the world in 1946. So, that'll be "young fart" to you Mr Paddy.
It's not because Gerard Henderson and Michael Baume and a few others huffed and puffed and threatened to blow my house down (or perhaps up).
It's not because we were told we had no right to comment on matters we're not directly involved with. Which, incidentally, is why we rely on governments to level with us in the first place.
No, I regret it because my life has been hell ever since De-Anne Kelly described us as "doddering daiquiri diplomats". Before that fateful day, my partner was content with a glass of orange juice in the morning. Now the call goes out for one of those daiquiri thing-a-me-bobs.
I've never made one in my life. I've only ever drunk a couple. And that was a long, long time ago. Given that I'm now a doddering postmodern neo-fart, how the hell am I supposed to remember what went into them? It's hard enough to spell, let alone to concoct.
Why did you do it De-Anne? How could you be so cruel to those of us who can barely find their way to the kitchen in the morning? Was it the allure of the alliteration that so attracted you? Fair enough. But then why not "Drambuie-drizzled dippos"? Even "cognac cognoscenti" would have been easier to deal with.
But no, you had to be the clever one. It's your Government that talks about valuing those of us of more mature years. Instead you taunt us with impossible recipes.
I've got news for you though. Our profiles may be podgy, our prostates prominent, but our penchant for the profound persists. (Now that's what I call alliteration!)
So I've been doing a little research into this daiquiri business. And what do I discover? Often they're made with bananas. And where do bananas grow. Why in Queensland of course. And where do you come from...
So why weren't you honest with the Australian people? Why didn't you tell them that your daiquiri dig was a typically underhand way of promoting your electorate's interests?
Got to hand it to you then. You've been prescient, persistent and patient. You understood all along that the real reason we went to war had nothing to do with the situation in Iraq or WMD. We went to war to promote bananas. Frankly, that's as good a reason as any I've seen. At least we know they exist.

Certificate in Gerontology
Career Minor in Health Systems Organization
The study of gerontology provides students with a broad, multidisciplinary perspective to examine the aging process and to understand the significance of age in biological, social, cultural, psychological, and political processes. Participation in the gerontology program encourages students to view aging as a normal part of the life cycle, to become aware of the aging process so that they may view it in others with understanding, and eventually in themselves with equanimity, and to consider work in the field of aging. The program focuses primarily upon the experience of aging in the United States, although comparative analyses of other societies are developed. By applying an integrated liberal arts perspective to the issues, problems, and dilemmas posed by a longer life span and a dramatically increased population of older persons, students develop their critical faculties and problem-solving abilities. The field of gerontology offers students opportunities to engage in first-hand research, to develop conceptual analyses, and to plan community projects, as well as to develop a strong background for career development. Those who already work as volunteers or staff in agencies serving the elderly will find the gerontology program valuable in updating their training.
Students who plan to pursue professional degrees in psychotherapy, medicine, dentistry, nursing, or social work will find that participation in the gerontology program will assist them in understanding the problems of their future clients. Students may choose to complete: (1) the minor in gerontology, (2) a certificate in gerontology, or (3) a special major in gerontology at either the bachelor's or master's levels. In the special major program, students construct individually designed interdisciplinary majors in consultation with the gerontology program coordinator and special major advisor.

3. Re: Certification Matrix shows 11g EE "projected" on Mac Intel also779494 Jun 15, 2010 9:50 PM (in response to 21628)It's now mid-2010 and we are still waiting ...
We use Pearson PowerSchool in our school district and just got this notice from them:
We've been anticipating an update from Oracle, which would allow us to deploy Oracle 11g on the Mac. The Windows version from Oracle has been available for nearly 2 years; however, there is still no published delivery date from Oracle for a Mac version.
Complicating matters, the current version of Oracle for the Mac is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard, which has been shipping since August 2009. New customers, and existing customers who want to upgrade their hardware, would find new Apple servers are incompatible with the current Oracle database. Oracle has not provided a date by which the current version of the Oracle Mac Database (10gR2) will be certified on Mac OS X 10.6.
Oracle's diminishing commitment to the Apple platform has left Pearson with limited options for customers using Mac servers. We do not have a commitment from Oracle for future versions of the database supporting the Mac, and current versions of the Oracle database are incompatible with new hardware running Mac OS X 10.6.
Therefore, all Mac customers should make plans to replace their Mac database servers with a Windows-based database server (physical or virtual). Pearson will discontinue support for the Mac database server effective December 31, 2010.*
Should Oracle issue a version of 11g with Mac compatibility, we will evaluate support options for this platform again.
This is extremely bad news for us as we are a Macintosh district and don't have the resources to support Windows servers. Why is Oracle not supporting Mac OS X? Is there anyone we can complain to or is it just a hopeless cause?

MUNICH (Jan. 24)
The release of Martin Fellenz, who directed the removal of 40,000 Jews from five towns in the Krakow area to Nazi death camps, was denounced here today by two leading West German newspapers. Fellenz was last week sentenced to four years of hard labor but was immediately released on probation because he had been jailed for 30 months while awaiting trial. Both prosecution and defense lodged appeals with the West German federal high court at Karlsruhe against the sentence.
The Sud Deutche Zeitung of Munich asked sarcastically, in a lead editorial, whether "probation" meant that "Fellenz would no more participate in any pogrom." The paper added with indignation, "perhaps there are no longer any Jew murdered."
The Hamburg weekly, Die Zeit, denounced the "inconceivably mild" verdict of the Flensburg jury court against the former SS officer. The prosecution had demanded a life sentence. Die Zeit called the probated sentence "a mockery" and added that "the understanding that injustice must be atoned for can obviously no longer be taken for granted" in West German courts.
The Central Council of Jews in Germany previously had expressed "grave concern" over the sentence, asserting that the effect of the verdict would be to minimize in the eyes of the general public the mass murder of Jews by Nazis in occupied Europe.

Cable Internet Services and Providers
Cable internet services use a cable TV link to supply individuals with broadband internet access. In order to make the link there is a cable modem at the users end and then a cable modem cancelling system at the cable company's end. The space within the termination system and modem may be about one hundred miles with virtually no issues occurring.
Cable broadband internet can function at around 30 Mbps, interestingly particular cable modems may limit the amount of info being sent. In addition, if you use cable broadband internet services you share data transfer useage with additional clients. The network monitor makes sure that bandwidth is dispersed efficiently to ensure service doesn't become sluggish throughout times whenever overall usage hits higher levels.
There's a lot ofprovider options for cable broadband internet. Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications and Comcast are major cable ISPs in the majority of the country.
Look into the availability of cable high-speed internet service where you live - callthe telephone number above or type your address within the secure search form to learn more.
DSL High-speed internet Service Details
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) high-speed internet services transmit info with a copper telephone line. In contrast to dial-up services, DSL works on frequencies that aren't utilized when making telephone calls by splitting the line into 2 - one for voice calls and the other for internet purposes.
Digital customer lines run from a central location along to clients. This typically restricts DSL circulation to a modest range of two miles from the centralized location, although certain lines go up to five miles in length. This aspect likewise has an effect on the exact download and upload speeds.
The good thing is that virtually no infrastructure is involved and it's a genuine high-speed internet service that transmits data at a rate up to 10Mbps. DSL may also deliver better security and dependability than other options since it's being provided by a phone line that often isn't shared.
Leading DSL service providers include Verizon and AT&T. You'll be able to locate DSL options from ISPs near you by entering your address within the box above.
Satellite Internet Services and Providers
Satellite broadband internet services utilize orbiting satellites to collect and transfer broadband data between a satellite provider and it's customers. Though the download and upload speeds meet the criteria as broadband, because data must go to the satellite and back over many miles users could experience signal delays of about 1-2 seconds.
Despite the possibility of short delays, satellite high-speed internet is capable of providing data at 5Mbps. Satellite broadband internet is ideal for those wanting high-speed internet in remote places where other internet services usually are not available.
DISH Network and AT&T are both top providers of satellite broadband internet services. See if satellite broadband internet services are available in your area simply by entering your address within the box above.
Fiber Optic High-speed internet Solutions
Fiber Optic is the most recent and fastest way to bring internet into the home. Networks of fiber optic cables can supply internet up to twenty five times quicker than other high-speed options and provide an incredibly dependable internet access. This is due to the fact that fiber optic wiring is far more strong than other connections and isn't troubled by noise, static or storms.
For the people trying to find the fastest high-speed internet access fiber optic is the way to go. Fiber optic networks are well known for their capacity to send data at rates as high as 50 Mbps. Currently, AT&T and Comcast provide fiber optic/copper hybrid services but 100 percent fiber optic high-speed internet services are only available through Verizon FiOS. They began supplying fiber optic broadband internet services in 2006 and are continuously adding to their service areas.

Miami Herald Columnist Attempts to Find 'Cool Republicans'
It often seems to be the attitude of the MSM to marginalize Republicans as some sort of square alien creatures who are not really hip like the rest of us...meaning Democrats. Such was the assumption of Miami Herald columnist, Beth Reinhard, when she began "My search for cool among Republicans." Her search was inspired by a Sunglass Hut billboard in South Florida that suggests that even Republicans could look hip with the right shades:
The good-looking hipster with the slicked back, slightly mussed hair looks out from his dark shades.
''He's a Republican,'' reads the billboard spotted around South Florida in recent weeks. ``But you don't see that.''
A Sunglass Hut official denied that the ad is a political statement, but its message is clear: Being a Republican isn't cool (unless you have fabulous hair and expensive sunglasses). Is that you, Karl Rove, behind those Foster Grants?
Reinhard then states that the image many of us have of young Republicans is that portrayed by Michael J. Fox on Family Ties:
The ad's undertone harkens back to Michael J. Fox's buttoned-up role as a teenaged conservative on the 1980s sitcom Family Ties. His character, Alex P. Keaton, was cute, but he was a square in a suit -- and that's when Ronald Reagan was a popular president.
This sets Reinhard off on a search for a cool Republican...if one exists. Unfortunately Reinhard seems to have difficulties finding such a "rare" creature:
Thus began a Miami Herald quest for Republican cool. First up: Todd Goberville, 32, chairman of the Florida Young Republicans.
He was about to go scuba diving in the Keys, which seemed promising. Goberville is a director of sales for a construction company. A little corporate, but it might work.
Then came the buzzkill: ''My favorite place to shop is Men's Wearhouse,'' he said.
Here's a tip: Any clothing store that conjures a vast, dusty repository -- i.e. Dress Barn, for women -- is more about selection than soul.
Goberville was undeterred.
''I own an iPod,'' he said. ``I have some stuff on there that my 13-year-old step-daughter listens to -- like Fergie.''
An inquiry was made about his home address. Miami Beach? Design District? Downtown Fort Lauderdale?
''Parkland,'' he said, referring to the western Broward suburb whose claim to fame is its single traffic light. ``My kids like it. That's what's important.''
Apparently, this Young Republican isn't young enough.
Since Goberville apparently didn't meet Reinhard's hip test because of his unfortunate devotion to his family which disqualified him, she continues her search:
Next: Erin VanSickle, 28, press secretary for the Republican Party of Florida.
VanSickle wouldn't reveal much, like any good press secretary, but she did point to the state party's newly redesigned website at www.rpof.org as full of podcasts and videos, with blogs forthcoming.
''We are really making an effort to reach out to the new media generation,'' she said.
Temperature dropping slightly, but still not totally cool.
Sorry Ms. VanSickle but you are just not up to Beth Reinhard's high standards in the coolness department. The Herald columnist's search for Republican coolness finally concludes with one last look:
Last try: Steven Muñoz, 18, who recently stepped down as chairman of the Florida Teenage Republicans.
He listens to indie rock. Has a MySpace page. Drives a Jeep Wrangler.
Sounds pretty cool to me.
Asked about the Sunglass Hut ad, Muñoz said the GOP needs to do more to convince kids that it is not just a party for ``rich guys.''
'It bothers me that Democrats get associated with popular culture, like MTV, just because you don't see [Republican presidential candidate] Mitt Romney on stage with P. Diddy saying `Vote or Die,' '' Muñoz said. ``That's part of being a conservative, I guess, being a little more pulled back.''
Apparently Steven Muñoz falls short in the coolness department according to Reinhard because she leaves him with this bit of fashion advice:
My advice to Muñoz, who is heading off to college this week: Get the shades.
The underlying message implied in Reinhard's column is that Republicans are almost hopelessly unhip unlike the rest of us who are cool Democrats tuned in to popular culture.

Space Songs (edition 1998)
by Myra Cohn Livingston, Leonard Everett Fisher (Illustrator)
Work details
Space Songs by Myra Cohn Livingston
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I never thought I would miss rhyming in poetry, but while reading this collection of poems about things in space, I missed it. I liked how the author and/or illustrator choice print the poems on the page in concrete poetry fashion. For example, the poem entitled Satellites is actually shaped like a satellite. I don't know how well this would work in a classroom as a tool for review. Some of the poems were confusing and didn't flow. I f I had to chose a poem, it would be the one about the Sun. What I like about the poem is the poet's dramatic language use. Instead of "it's a ball of hot gas" it is described as " afire with bursts of bubbling gas, …/ this mass, quaking inferno…/ a giant bomb exploding hydrogen."
The small verses offered in Myra Cohn Livingston's Space Songs, which are more like free verse poetry than songs, are constructed in an asthetically clever fashion. Each individual work, depending on the specific topic, is arranged to mirror the subject. For instance, the poem "Satellite's" lines are organized to resemble a satellite, with legs and all. While no particular aspect of this book stands out, the overall structure of the book is fun in itself.
How many people wonder about outer space? I know I do! Take your children on the adventure of seeing what else is out there that is literally "out of this world!" There are plenty of unanswered questions that people ask about space all of the time. Join the exploration and adventure in a journey to space by reading about the milkyway and comments. Who knows, maybe one day you can figure out or come across something about space that no one else knows!
This is a great collection of poety related to the universe. The illustrations and type setting make the book even more fun to read.
This book is informational because it has poems about different objects and planets in space. The art in this book is pastels. The content includes poems about the different things in space, such as, the Milky Way, the Moon, the Sun, comets and meteorites. The reading level is third grade because there are not very many words but the words are knid of hard. The curricular connection is science because all of the poems have information on space.

Cory Buote's mom, Rebecca Perry, suspected her son was gay from age three. Buote says most of his friends suspected he was gay before he came out last year at age 14.
©Guardian photo by Heather Taweel
This is the final article in The Guardian's series looking at LGBTQ issues in Prince Edward Island, Pride in P.E.I.
Cory Buote suspected early on that he was gay.
By Grade 6, he was certain and he made a deal with himself. He would not tell anyone until he was 18.
He broke the deal by four years.
The Charlottetown teen tried to hide his true sexuality for a time. He dated a lot of girls. He even had a "pretty serious'' relationship last year at age 14.
"I just wanted to be like every one else,'' he says of putting on a straight act. "I wanted people to like me. I just didn't want to be different.''
In reality, though, his secret was out even before he came out.
Buote realizes that he presented as being gay for years, even though he did his best to play the straight guy.
So when Buote decided to come out in 2013, friends and family members were not exactly clutching their hearts in shock and disbelief.
For Rebecca Perry, her boy's announcement came as a relief. The acknowledgement confirmed what the mother had suspected as far back as when her son was merely three: her boy is gay.
The thought only grew stronger with each passing year.
Now, no longer hiding from the fact is serving Cory well, says mom.
"I think he is more open,'' she says. "He is starting to be more self-confident. He is more comfortable in his own skin.''
And that seems to be the crux of the matter: facing the truth.
Buote came out so he could finally be himself. He no longer has to pretend to be someone he is not. In a word, he is liberated.
"It was great,'' he says of going public about being gay. "It was so good. It was like a weight off my chest.''
Buote isn't mumbling his message. He has been shouting loud and clear that he is gay, not straight.
He even posted a video on YouTube detailing his personal story.
People like him have taken note of what he has gone through, and what he has to say.
He is aware of at least 20 P.E.I. youth, both male and female, that credit him with coming out themselves.
"I love giving people advice,'' he says.
He recommends coming out only when a person is "totally ready.'' It needs, he explains, to feel like the right time.
The best person to tell first, he adds, is the one "you are closest with and trust the most.''
In Buote's case, that was a female friend. She welcomed the news with glee.
"She was really excited,'' he says.
"I guess she just wanted me to be myself.''
Pride P.E.I. youth co-ordinator Janet Bradshaw says more Islanders are coming out at an earlier age these days. The big announcement is often made by high school students.
Bradshaw estimates at least 15 students are openly gay at Three Oaks Senior High School in Summerside, where she works as an educational assistant.
She believes the climate in schools in P.E.I. is growing increasingly more welcoming for gay students.
At least five schools have established a Gay Straight Alliance with the first struck a handful of years ago at Charlottetown Rural High School.
The goal is a Gay Straight Alliance in every high school across Prince Edward Island.
"It's a fairly new concept,'' says Bradshaw.
"Its purpose is to make schools safe for all students.''
Bradshaw feels fear of ridicule is the largest concern that delays youth from coming out.
Some students do get bullied after announcing they are gay, lesbian, bi, transgendered or other, commonly through hateful language rather than physical abuse, she adds.
When Buote sat down in the bleachers at his school after coming out, one person told him not to sit by him and blurted out a derogatory word.
Overall, though, he has not encountered much negative feedback. Support has been strong from friends and family.
"My mother always raised us not to judge,'' he adds.
"She was really supportive (of Buote coming out). She wanted me to be myself.''
The relationship scene, however, is not off to a roaring start. He has had one boyfriend, but is not dating at the moment.
Getting girlfriends, ironically, was a walk in the park compared to finding a male partner.
"It's sad,'' he says.
Buote is, however, quite thrilled with all the attention he has received since coming out. He soaks it up.
The thought of having his story splashed across the front page of The Guardian was not intimidating. Rather, it was exhilarating for the teen. Remember, he is just 15, so all the fuss is quite an exciting adventure.
So Buote welcomes all the attention he can garner. He also hopes his story will help other young Islanders struggling with — or simply choosing to conceal — their true sexual identity to figure out their situation and how best to deal with it.
Bradshaw also encourages youth to come to terms with their gender identity and sexual preference.
"Kids just need to be who they feel inside,'' she says. "They need to present themselves as they feel inside. They can't live a lie any longer.''

Kokomo - Gateway Gardens
The Gateway Gardens is an apartment complex. people who lived have seen tear drops and blood falling from the ceiling. There have been reports of people seeing legs walking. Babies have raised out of the cribs and appeared stiff and a few minutes later whatever was holding them let go. This is a very evil place. Just looking at the place you get an eery feeling.
