election time homeschooling
My deal with both kids was this: they can stay up all night and watch the election returns if they volunteer on a campaign that means something to them. I thought this could get sticky. I really didn't want to push my political agenda on either of them, and wanted them to make their own decisions. Turns out - it wasn't sticky at all, because I'm not gung-ho about either major party candidate, and have decided that I am going to do a lot of research on the independents before casting my vote.
In an effort to make informed decisions, we each took this quiz: select smart. By answering 24 questions, we were each given a list of which candidates were closest to our ideals. It was an incredible opportunity to talk with the kids about the issues, and how difficult it is to support just one guy, when there are so many different opinions on so many different subjects.
Our house came away with major party candidates as our front runners, and lots of independents close behind. One member of our family was completely, totally, absolutely gobsmacked at the results. Not only the front runner, but the 8 people underneath him. Apparently, who you think you agree with - and who you should vote for - are not always the same person.

what we'll miss
It's that time of year again. Three weeks until school starts, and the kids are not the only ones dreading it. I loathe the start of school - we homeschooled for a reason (several actually) and this was one of them.
I hate the early mornings, the passing of another year, missing such a big piece of Punk and Kooka's life, packing lunches, evenings full of homework - ugh. Yoda will probably be homeschooled through college simply to spare me from ever having to make another wonderbread and turkey sandwich.
But instead of dwelling on the upcoming doom and gloom, I thought it might make all of us feel better to focus on the bright spots of summer - the things we'll miss.
• fresh blueberries
• kids in the pool every day
• late nights full of warm brownies and reality tv
• family hot tub nights
• fireflies
• road trips
• camps - pinnacle, ewac and olaf
• juicy watermelon
• the fountain in bridge square
• doing laundry when we feel like it - not because we need it
• the smell of Kooka's hair after a summer day outside
• no snow
• freedom
I don't know who I'm kidding - that just made me feel worse.

the great american road trip take 4: missourri to iowa
The road home is always more subdued for us, not because we're worn out, but because we've travelled through the same areas so many times in an attempt to leave Minnesota. Today is no different. Knowing we'd end up in Des Moines eventually, we decided to detour through Missourri.
Our first stop was the Crown Center in Kansas City (KC is the home of Hallmark Cards). We had a chance to visit the Crayola Store - with a giant wheel of crayons in every color ever made, an incredible children's theater, Chip's Chocolate Factory, and a pretty cool Dinosaur Explore Area (on loan from our own science museum in MN).
But we were hungry and had some ground to cover, so we headed to Rico and my new favorite fast food joint, Taco Beuno. We had chicken tortilla soup, empanadas, brisket tacos, and enchiladas. I was terribly depressed to find that there are no Taco Beunos within 350 miles of our home. If Rico attempts a new business venture, expect to see Kooka in a sombrero and Punk frying up empanadas.
We hit the highway toward St. Joseph, MO. Part of Punk's history final this year was a two page portion on the Defeat of Jesse James, so we couldn't take this route without stopping to see his house. The needlepoint picture he was adjusting was still hanging askew on the wall, right next to the bullet hole where he was shot. The house was small, and took us maybe 15 minutes to tour, which was all we had planned anyway.
But things don't always go as planned on a road trip and we soon found ourselves next door in the Patee House Museum. Another crazy mix of stuff from here and there - this 1858 hotel, also served as home base for the pony express, a courthouse for the Union when they overtook St. Joseph, and a boarding home for the Studebaker brothers while they developed their famous car. The kids had a blast in here. One of our favorite parts was the "Where's Waldo" type game that they've set up throughout the museum. For 25 cents we bought a scorecard and traipsed through every exhibit looking for the one item that was out of place in the 1800's recreation (for example, we noticed a digital camera chip in the photography studio).
We were surprised by the sheer number of museums in St. Joseph. Rico and I really wanted to hit the Glore Psychiatic Museum, but Yoda was exhausted, so we drove by and headed toward DesMoines.
We wanted to end this trip with a bang (at least the biggest bang we could find in Iowa), so we booked a room at the Ramada Tropics Hotel in DesMoines. Our poolside room, cute little waterpark, two giant, room service pizzas and Dr. Peppers all-around made for some wonderfully happy memories and very sleepy kids. It's another Friends marathon for us tonight (I swear Punk is Chandler, and it's possible that Kooka will become Monica). Tomorrow we'll be home.

the great american road trip take 4: kansas to missourri
Wichita was our fist rainy morning of the entire trip. Of course, being a dark and dreary day, Rico had to resort to dumping the big kids out of bed. Punk landed in the remains of yesterday's pizza, while Kooka managed to hang on somehow. Thirty minutes later we were on our way to downtown Wichita.
The Museum of World Treasures was a great way to spend a couple of hours. A cross between Chicago's Field Museum and Ripley's Believe It Or Not, this three-story Kansas gem has an eclectic mix of everything. From fully reconstructed t-Rex skeletons, to a lock of George Washington's hair, a piece of the Berlin Wall to Hitler's personal family photographs, a crucifiction nail from the time of Jesus' death to a room full of shrunken heads and mummies. There was even a generous play space for Yoda (she could only "rawr" at the dinosaurs so many times).
The highlights for us were probably the world war exhibits, the copy of the resolution desk, and the real pitchfork the scarecrow used in the Wizard of Oz. Kooka and I were also taken with the Berlin Wall exhibit, but Yoda kept climbing into East Germany and rattling the soldier's fully sharpened bayonet, so we were forced to move on.
The Monroe School was next on our list. This elementary school in Topeka is home of Brown vs. The Board of Education. I must admit to being a little disappointed. We really wanted the kids to see this part of history and be able to think about what part we all play in affecting change in society, but I don't think they got that here. If anything, they got it during our discussion in the car, or when we first walked in and saw the "white" and "colored" signs, but the rest of the museum was just filled with written presentations, and video clips. There was no recreation of the rooms, or real delineation between the difference in the local elementary schools. I'm glad we went, but wouldn't drag everyone back again.
As much as Wichita was a pleasant surprise, Topeka was a turn in the opposite direction. Run down, and dirty, we decided to keep moving, and headed toward Kansas City, Missouri.
We had ribs and burnt end sandwiches at Gates BBQ. Rico loved the ribs, but I preferred the ribs we had in OK City. We discussed why this was true and concluded that I really like the dry-rubbed, deep-smoked, fall-off-the-bone type of ribs. Rico's fave is more along the lines of tying some beef jerky to a bone, bathing it in a gallon of sauce and burrying your face in it in a vain attempt to scrape off some meat. Tonight, he was in heaven. Punk and I had the burnt-end sandwich -good, but I'd go back to OK City in a heartbeat.

the great american road trip take 4: oklahoma to kansas
When we started this 50 states adventure, our focus was to make sure we made a truckload (or vanload) of memories before the kids were grown, but we also had a larger goal in mind. We wanted to make sure that the kids had a broad range of experiences to draw upon, a sense of adventure, and knowledge of the best parts of America, and the not-so-great parts as well.
Taking that into consideration, I guess our day was a success.
A quarter mile walk from our hotel was the Oklahoma City Memorial. I expected that our walk through the outdoor memorial would spur some discussion about militia, politics, gun control - much the way it did the night before, when I told the kids we were going.
But it didn't.
There was no discussion whatsoever. It was just quiet, and teary and unbelievable.
I've been to several memorials in my day, but nothing has ever hit me like this. We stood between the 9:01 entry gate and 9:03 exit gate. There amongst the field of empty chairs and the reflecting pool, we stood in the moment of 9:02 - the moment the explosion took 168 souls, the moment 800 people were injured, the moment our history changed forever.
The memorial is so thoughtfully laid out, 9 rows of chairs representing which floor each person was on during the moment of the attack. Most of the second row is filled with tiny chairs - babies under the age of six. Even little Yoda was quiet when she followed us through the rows. She stopped at one of the small chairs, it belonged to a little girl named Ashley. I couldn't stop the tears.
The memorial wall was filled with mementos and notes from friends and families of the victims, the children's wall covered with tiles from young well-wishes from around the country. Our whole family was absolutely morose by the time we reached the front of the museum. Punk could not bring himself to write or draw anything on the slate bricks leading to the door (there is colored chalk available to leave a note, a prayer, or whatever you'd like as a temporary addition to the memorial). We couldn't go into the museum - we just couldn't. If we had, we would have heard the blast, visited a room that recreates what one of the rooms was like seconds after the blast, seen photos in a mausoleum type tribute to all of the victims. We were already heartbroken, so we decided on turn back to the hotel.
We packed up the van, and headed to our next stop.
We'd planned ahead. After a rough morning, we took off towards the happiest stuff on earth - at least if you're Punk. Our oldest child is absolutely in love with soda of all types. So we took a slight detour to Arcadia, OK, home of POPS restaurant and store.
We didn't stop for lunch, just for drinks, but it still took us quite awhile. Pops has over 600 varieties of soda for sale - including some you can't imagine ever letting pass your lips (like cat urine and swamp water). We each selected a bottle and toasted outside the store. Yoda insisted on tasting them all and promptly spit each one out.
Two hours later we were in Witchita, Kansas.
I am starting to feel slighty guilty for making these towns an afterthought to our cross country ventures.
First Oklahoma City, now funky little Wichita. We ordered pizza from Picassos, with slices bigger than our heads, went for a walk in charming Old Town Marketplace where we nabbed gellatos from Cafe Moderne, and played in the neon-lit fountains until the sun set behind us. Kooka danced in the fountains and threatened us all with soggy hugs, Punk dove right in as well, and Yoda let us swing her feet through the fountains. Maybe next year she'll be braver.

the great american road trip take 4: texas to oklahoma
I am beginning to think, that the secret to a good road trip, is to not listen to anybody else before you go.
If we had listened to all of the advice we'd heard about the best route back from Taos, we would have missed three of our favorite stops: Albuquerque, Cadilac Ranch in Amarillo, TX, and perhaps the biggest surprise of all - Oklahoma City.
We woke up in Amarillo. Our brand-new Comfort Suites hotel had a free breakfast, which included omlettes, sauasage and Texas-shaped waffles. After packing up, gassing up, and a brief stop at Michaels craft store for paint, we were ready to hit Cadilac Ranch. Unfortunately, the late hours, limited wi-fi, and the breakneck pace of our trip with three kids, doesn't allow me to go into the history of the place, but I can tell you this - it was cool.
Grafitti is not only legal at Cadilac Ranch, but enouraged, and there is no escaping the feeling that you are a part of Americana. Punk loved making his mark on all of the cars, Kooka took her time creating a masterpiece, Yoda had a great time painting with her brush. Despite the high winds, and swallowing enough red dirt to qualify as lunch, it was difficult to leave. We knew our artwork wouldn't last, and even if we ever venture this way again, the place would never be the same. Maybe that's why we took over 40 pictures.
Lunch was a McStop in Clover, Texas. It took an extra large tea to wash the grit from our teeth, and a chile' cheeseburger to wash down the tea (they serve them with jalapeños down here). We also stopped at the old-fashioned Clover gas station, just because it was so cool.
We knocked another state off the list when we hit Oklahoma, and much to our surprise, Oklahoma City is so cool, we wish we had more time.
It was a short walk from our hotel to Earl's Rib Palace in Brickown. The ribs were huge, tender, smoked to perfection and accompanied by loaded baked potatoes, sweet tea and grilled corn on the cob. No wonder the food was delectable - according to locals, and the info at the restaurant, Earl was the personal chef to one Mr. Elvis Presley. If we had to pick three of our too restaurants on this trip - this would be one of them.
Our tour of Bricktown continued with a sunset water taxi ride down the canal. Apparently the route used to be a street, and the city decided to dig it up, add water, and viola' - instant tourist attraction. Our captain, Brian shared stories of city history,the land rush, the sooners, and the boat ride was landscaped with gorgeous mosaics, larger than life statues, and plenty of ducks for Yoda to admire. All five of us agreed that it was the best part of the day, and a perfect way to cap off our first night in Oklahoma.
I just have to add - I almost feel guilty for blogging on the road. It seems that my thoughts are so scattered, my writing incoherent, and that all I am managing are the barebones details, so that we don't forget them later. Hopefully whe I get back, I'll have more time, and gett back to my "real" writing.

the great american road trip take 4: new mexico to texas
What a surprise.
After hearing from various sources that Albuquerque is quote/unquote - a dump, we were thrilled to find it one of the hilights of our trip.
After the artsy, touristy, nearly pretentious atmosphere of both Taos and Santa Fe, it felt like we had finally landed somewhere authentic.
We spent the morning in Albuquerque's Old Town District, and fell in love. The buildings were genuine, the church and courtyard were gorgeous (and still in use - Punk and I inadvertently walked into a funeral), the streets were linked with brick and adobe, the people were friendly and casual.
One of our favorite stops was The Poco Loco magic shop in Old Town. The owner, Tony showed us some magic tricks and made balloon animals for all of the kids.
We listened to a live Mariachi band playing in the square, ate frybread and tri-tip steak skewers at Jamon's Frybread Cabana, checked out the fire ants scurrying around the fountains and met/shook hands with/thanked three Navajo Wind Talkers who happened to be sitting together in full military dress.
Rico and agreed that Albuquerque was a place that the two of us could explore for days, bit since we only had hours, it was onward ho.
The drive to Amarillo, TX was tolerable but uneventful - until dinner. We planned on stopping at the Big Texan - home of the 72-ounce steak challenge, but after reading some pretty poor reviews, we changed our plans, and decided on the Country Barn Steak and BBQ. Kitchier than a Cracker Barrel, and much better eats, we all ate until we were stuffed. Punk had his obligatory cheeseburger while the rest of us dined on tender, juicy ribeyes, fried okra, cole slaw, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and hot rolls. The complimentary peppermint taffy topped us off, and we waddled back to the van, and motored toward our hotel.

the great american road trip take 4: new mexico
Today was a wandering kind of day, a completely unplanned kind of day. Since neither of us were terribly familiar with the Santa Fe/Albuquerque area, we decided to roam around, hit a few things we'd heard about and get to the hotel early. Here are a few of the highlights:
* If you've ever seen the giant drum we keep as a coffee table, you'll probably recognize the merchandise in this place- the Taos Drum Company. My dad bought an honest-to-goodness pow-wow drum here about 20 years ago. We inherited it when he moved, and whe the kids found out that this was the birthplace of the drum, they insisted we stop, "for pa." So we did. Yoda had a great time banging away on $2000 drums, while Punk and Kooka admired the little beaded knicknacks. We stopped for a teepee picture out front (which was right next to what I am quite certain was a huge rattlesnake hole), then we were on our way.
* Next stop, Santa Fe, where we ate tamales and fajita wraps from a street vendor. Completely, totally, wonderfully, perfect southwestern food. We browsed through the open air plaza, where the natives sold handmade jewelry. I didn't buy any - but really wanted to.
* Before we left town, Punk, Kooka and I made a visit to Loretto Chappell, home of the miraculous stairway. The miracle is not just that there are no supports holding the double helix built stairway, but also how the stairway came to be in the first place. I won't spoil the surprise - you can google it - but I will say that all three of us were awestruck. We took a moment to light a candle for Pa, and say a few prayers in the sanctuary. It was a nearly surreal experience, and we couldn't help but feel moved.
* Next on our route was Albuquerque. We checked into our hotel for a short swim before heading downtown to the Route 66 Malt Shop. Our waitress, Dawn brought us hot shoestring fries, juicy burgers, spicy homemade root beer - and for me, the green chile cheeseburger, which may be the only kind of burger I will ever eat again. Kooka said it was the best burger she'd ever had, and Punk even gave up the promise of dessert for a second cheeseburger. It was that good.

Cutting Edge Media has been appointed exclusive sales agent for World Cup Cricket 2007 to be viewed on Dish Network (Echostar) PPU platform across Americas. Dish Network (Echostar) is the largest DTH operator in the Americas. The arrangement primarily means that Cutting Edge Media will handle all ad sales advertising for World Cup Cricket 2007 from South Asian countries.
Said an exultant Rohinton Baji Maloo, Managing Director, Cutting Edge Media, "We are proud to be associated with the largest sporting event. It's also a testimony to the fact that Cutting Edge Media is competent to handle an event of such magnitude. We see this as a blue chip opportunity for us."
Maloo refused to give an estimate of the revenues Cutting Edge Media was expecting to garner, saying it was a "bit too early for that".
The agency is looking at targeting Indian advertisers such as builders, banks, travel portals and food exporters who are looking at reaching NRIs as well as other Asian communities in the Americas.
The Echostar platform can also be used to reach people of other nationalities living in Americas who follow cricket. Not only will the matches be seen at home but also on cruise ships and cinema halls that have been blocked off to show WC '07 live.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My granddaughter is mentally disabled, she has been on ssi since a child and when she turned 18 they denied her. we appealed and we are at the hearing stage. I challenged the social security doctors report and they sent her to another state doctor. She can not even graduate high school she is now 19 she is still receiving benefits because she can not live with out money. We feel she might need to be represented at the hearing in August. Can we get a Attorney that would represent her if we pay? Since most take cases due to the fact they get paid based on retro active benefits. she does not have that, I have all the records and social security CD records . Please advise. Help is needed. or any suggestions helpful please.What type of order does the paper work need to be in and what if the claimant does not show up and I go in her place. she has mental illness and it is hard to get her out and up on many days.
I would reach out to local disability lawyers in your area. While most take cases "on contingency" of winning the claim, social security rules do allow attorneys to operate on a "retainer" basis. All attorney fees must be approved by Social Security and at a hearing, there is nothing preventing the attorney from questioning you on you voluntarily and willfully agreeing to the fee structure in this particular case. As for your granddaughter appearing at the hearing, I would say this is imperative. A Judge will certainly want to develop the record by taking the testimony of the allegedly disabled claimant and you, as the grandmother, have an opportunity to offer lay witness testimony. This can be elicited by your attorney, or if you are not represented by an attorney, you can appear at the hearing with your granddaughter and explain to the Judge that you would like to offer lay witness testimony on behalf of your granddaughter. The purpose of it would be to explain how your granddaughter is limited in various ways by her impairments. Good luck.
Any information obtained from this answer should not be treated as legal advice and in no way creates the existance, or appearance, of an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
The reason why she was denied when she became an adult is because disability is defined differently for children and adults. You have 60 days from the denial date to appeal. Finding an attorney will not be very difficult because you don't pay anything up front. Fees are agreed to with the fee agreement but the attorney does not get paid until he wins the case. Also, there is only payment if there is back pay and if the Social Security Administration approves the fees.
You can find an attorney here on AVVO. Select "find a lawyer." then type in "social security disability" and your zip code.
I wish you and your granddaughter the best of luck.Ask a similar question
If I'm understanding this correctly, she would need too file the next step, should be a request for reconsideration. Attorney fees should be based on a percentage of the back amount. See a social security attorney.Ask a similar question

Alongside Rembrandt and Dürer, Goya stands as one of greatest historical printmakers known today. His subjects range from Biblical depictions, to the bloody, but much loved sport of bull fighting. He is best known, however, for his satirical and social commentary in biting series such as The Disasters of War and Caprices. Ever a keen observer of his own time, Goya nonetheless succeeded in creating imagery of the human condition that speaks to generations of viewers even to this day.
Executed between 1810 and 1820, Goya's Los Desastres de la Guerra (Disasters of War) was inspired by scenes the artist witnessed during the Peninsular War against Napoleon Bonaparte that waged from 1808 to 1814. In a time before photo-journalism, Goya created a necessary and unflinching documentation of the ravages of war and it's power to dehumanize everyone involved.Los Desastres De La Guerra (Disasters Of War)Los ProverbiosLos CaprichosLa Tauromaquia

DRUM major Dave Barnes has been given his marching orders in the battles round of The Voice.
The 37-year-old, originally from Nelson, was given a tough challenge, as he was pitted against Londoner Kagan Fage-Burgin, to perform King's Years And Years.
Even before the contest Dave, who works at the Royal Military School of Music in Twickenham, was slightly apprehensive.
He said: "It's not something I would ever think of singing myself normally."
But he insisted he relished the opportunity to get 'out of his comfort zone' and pledged to give the head-to-head his best shot.
Boy George and Paloma Faith both plumped for Dave's rendition of the song - but Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson opted for the Hackney-born singer.
And Dave's last chance of survival evaporated when will.i.am failed to use his 'steal' option to keep him in the running.
Speaking after his exit, Dave said: "I'm really gutted. I put everything into that.
"I did show every single tone of my voice out there. But it's been a really good experience and a really good learning curve for me."

"Meeting," Cuddy addressed the man as he swiftly walked away from her in the opposite direction.
"Ooh, sorry. Important 'doctor business' to attend to," he ducked his head, pretending to busy himself with the empty folder in his hands.
"House, you don't read charts," the woman called his bluff. "Meeting, now."
And that was how he found himself seated at the long table in the meeting room.
Dr. Gregory House glanced boredly around the table assessing those present. Cuddy- his boss; Chase, Cameron and Foreman -his team; and then Wilson. He smiled. Good old Wilson.
"Hey, Jimmy," he gave his best salesman's smile "Take notes for me, alright? I have some things to do."
"Sorry House." Wilson returned, choosing to ignore the nickname. He had decided long ago that it was best to pick your battles with House. "You have to be here for this one; t'is the season," he remarked.
The unkempt doctor's face fell. "Oh," He replied in a dull voice, "That meeting."
"As you know," Cuddy smiled at the assembled group. "There's only a month left until the Christmas party. Most of the planning and preparations have already been finished, which leaves only one matter to attend to." So saying, she withdrew a ratty looking stocking from under the table and proceeded to hand out scraps of paper to all the of the assembled. "Now remember, just your name. It's up to your Secret Santa to figure out what you want for Christmas."
Cameron raised her hand.
Ah, Cameron. House mused a little cynically, the ever-proper school girl. When was she going to get it through her head that nobody really believed she was that bland, catholic-school oatmeal innocent?
Cuddy nodded to her. "I think Dr. House should have to write what he wants on his," she announced.
House looked up, a bit surprised.
"He's impossible to shop for, and getting the wrong thing could result in weeks of humiliation. It isn't worth the stress."
"I second that." Foreman agreed.
"Aww, come on," House protested. "I like the singing wall fish. You can't still be upset about that!"
Cuddy raised an eyebrow, seeming to take the arguments into serious consideration. "Alright," she decided. "Let's put it to a vote then. Raise your hand if you think House should have to write what he wants along with his name."
Five hands shot up instantly. House shot Wilson a glare.
"I hate the fish." Wilson replied seriously, and House had to grin. He'd recently discovered a new form of entertainment in relocating the fish around his apartment so that whenever Wilson came to visit, he could watch the man jump every time the fish assailed him with "Moon River" from an unexpected new location.
"Fine," House grumped, scribbling his name on his strip of paper. "Ah Christmas; the season of peace, love and democracy." He thought a few seconds, trying to come up with either the most abstract or offensive gift he could think of. Finally, he grinned to himself, printing hottie with a body neatly at the bottom of his paper before folding it in half and stuffing it into the stocking.
House waited as patiently as could be expected for House as his turn came to draw a name out of the stocking. He peered down at the paper and grinned. James Wilson. That was easy. Wilson would be a snap to shop for. He glanced over at the man who was carefully studying his own piece of paper. Yah, Wilson would want a… a… he'd want… crap.
Though he'd thought and thought, this was one diagnosis the usually apt doctor could not fathom. What the heck would Wilson want for Christmas? He glanced up to the man who was distractedly mouthing the end of a pen as he went over some old reports, trying o figure out where best to file them. Lucky Pen. House thought.
"Hey," he called. "Hey Jimmy,"
The man's head shot up with an annoyed glare. "House, I've told you before, I don't like it when you call me-"
"Yah yah," House waved him off. "So… who'd you get?"
Wilson raised an eyebrow. "We're not supposed to tell, remember?"
"Aww, come on…" House whined.
The oncologist rolled his eyes. "Cuddy." He told him.
House grimaced. "Lucky you."
The older man cocked his head to the side. "Well what?"
Wilson sighed exasperatedly. "Aren't you gonna tell me who you got?"
House clicked his tongue disapprovingly. "Why Dr. Wilson! I'm ashamed of you. We're not supposed to tell, you know." He grinned at the man's obvious annoyance. "Chase." He told him.
"Ah," Wilson replied, seemingly losing interest.
"So what would one get for a young doctor these days?" House wondered aloud.
Wilson shrugged. "Buy him a tie."
"Har har." House returned. "Well what would you want?" He smiled, giving himself a mental pat on the back for his own sneakiness.
Wilson shrugged, turning back to his paperwork. "I don't want anything."
"Bull." House accused. "Everybody wants something. The only reason anyone buys gifts for anyone else is so that next year they'll feel guilty and buy something for us."
Wilson stared at him. "Your lack of philanthropy staggers even me."
"A new pocket protector?" House suggested with a grin. "Or maybe a toaster oven at work so that when the little wife kicks you out again-"
"House," Wilson's voice was sharp. "I don't want to talk about that."
The older man was silent for a moment. Something was up and Wilson wasn't talking about it, and he could have kicked himself for not noticing sooner. "Wilson…"
"It doesn't matter anyway…" he seemed to be talking to himself. "All I want… is someone who will love me for who I am, not for who they think they can make me into."
House paused. "Couldn't we just get you a puppy instead?"
Wilson snorted. "Don't feel bad. Even God hasn't been able to fill that one."
"That's pretty deep…" the older doctor noted, "Assuming you believe in God."
"Oh, and you don't?" Wilson quirked an eyebrow.
House thought a moment. "Well someone's been thwarting my evil plans, so I guess there's got to be some kind og God."
"Yah… but I guess he just doesn't listen to anyone's prayers anymore." The man sighed despondently.
House raised an eyebrow. "You…?"
"She filed for divorce." Wilson admitted, then pursed his lips, turning back to his paperwork.
House stared for a long minute. Maybe God did still answer prayers. "Even though it's a real cramp to my style," he began, a little over-loud to cover up any actual emotion that might leak through. "I've got a pretty big apartment still, and the fridge has been pretty empty since you moved out…"
"I'll get my stuff." Wilson replied, ignoring the sarcastic jabs. He stood, then turned slowly, meeting House's eyes with his own. They were blue and dazzling and full of so much pain that it nearly toppled the other man. "Thanks, House." He told him softly, turning away quickly.

Berkshire: Ireland took the number one slot at the Championships this year for the first time, thanks in part to the 5th ODI international hat-trick by Saibh Young. The European Championships were held this year at Bradfield College near Reading in Berkshire. England decided to field its U-19 squad for this tournament, only three full internationals taking part, Arran Thompson (captain), Nicki Shaw and Leanne Davis.[an error occurred while processing this directive]Bad weather gave problems from the outset. The play on Thursday, which was to provide the teams with warm-up games, had to be cancelled completely, and late starts occurred on some subsequent days too. It was a great tribute to the ground staff at the College that play was possible at all on some days. The weather had its affect on the wickets and on the amount of swing the bowlers were able to extract, especially that obtained by the Irish contingent, who seemed to find the conditions very much to their liking. The bounce on both the wickets used was generally low and occasional shooters made life hard for batsmen on all sides. In the main the scoring was low as a result. Scotland was represented for the first time, taking the place of Denmark who did not send a team. Courtesy: Don Miles (www.webbsoc.demon.co.uk)

For the time being, though, I'm enjoying the literary swaggering of the new city gang. Standing up for the skyscraper, there's Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, whose Triumph of the City makes a tough case against overzealous historic preservation as an impediment to a manifest urban destiny. There's New Yorker essayist David Owen, whose Green Metropolis provides strong evidence for the environmental benefits of dense urban living (and a stinging takedown of back-to-the-land greens, whose VW vans and wood stoves make them profligate carbon emitters).
And then there's über-urbanist Richard Florida – now Toronto-based, but raised on the mean streets of Newark and Pittsburgh – author of The Rise of the Creative Class and, more recently, The Great Reset. Florida's energetically argued case for attracting a "super-creative core" of scientists, artists and academics to cities has lately generated a backlash against those who see the current urban renaissance as so much pernicious gentrification.
It's time to add a new name to the roll call of the city gang. Jeff Speck's urbanist cred goes back a long way: Since the 1980s, he has worked on 75 plans for cities, towns and villages, and in 2002 co-wrote Suburban Nation with Andrés Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, the Miami-based duo who pioneered New Urbanism.
In Walkable City – not to be confused with Montrealer Mary Soderstrom's lively book of the same name – Speck strikes out on his own, building a strong case for neighbourhood walkability as the summum bonum for the car-challenged cities of North America. Making a strong case against "fattened roads, emaciated sidewalks, deleted trees, fry-pit drive-thrus, and ten-acre parking lots," he walks readers through the benefits of high-density, mixed-use, transit-served neighbourhoods, without succumbing to extremism. For Speck, bike riders, public-transport users, pedestrians and, yes, drivers, are all key to complete streets and healthy cities. "Specialists," he observes, "are the enemy of the city, which by definition is a general enterprise."
Too many of the urbanists I've read have a penchant for jargon, and an anti-talent for anecdote, which can make reading their prose feel like an uphill slog through mud. Speck is a welcome exception. Making it clear that he walks the walkability walk, he writes of his move from Miami's South Beach to Washington, D.C., where he met his future wife on a mass-transit platform and struggled, successfully, to turn his home's zoning-mandated parking space into a garden.
And I thought I had heard everything hearable about vehicles and the city, but, as I read, I found myself jotting down – and tweeting – quotes, statistics and factoids that had somehow escaped my attention. Intersections in Miami's suburbs are incredibly broad, Speck writes, because the firefighters' union once struck a deal that permitted only four-man teams to be sent out on calls – meaning that entire residential neighbourhoods had to be built to cater to the turning radius of hook-and-ladder trucks. I also learned that, at any one time, there are half a billion empty parking spaces in the United States, and that every minute, Americans send $612,500 overseas to support their automotive lifestyle.
If Walkable City has something of the PowerPoint about it – the bulk of the text is devoted to 10 prescriptions for promoting walkability, from Plant Trees to my favourite, Let Transit Work – that's not necessarily a bad thing; as Speck points out, the founding cris de coeur against city-wrecking modernism and car culture have already been written (think Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American Cities, or James Kunstler's The Geography of Nowhere). It turns out to be exactly the right time for a down-and-dirty, step-by-step seminar on city repair – especially one conducted by as genial a presenter as Speck.Report Typo/Error

A Taco Stand in Every Neighborhood
"When my family and I moved to the New Urbanist community of Civano seven years ago, we looked forward to strolling among the landscaped paths of our neighborhood to a local restaurant or pub. Indeed, for the first month or two, the neighborhood center hosted a café, with its handmade sandwiches and fresh-brewed coffee and tea. Without the resident population required to support such a shop, however, it soon closed.
Then rumors swirled and some meetings were held about Johan's Tavern, an English-style pub on the corner of Civano's two primary streets -- Seven Generations Way and Civano Boulevard -- to be built and operated by Civano pioneer and brewmaster Alan Boertjens. Today the vibrant yellow shell of the tavern anchors the corner, but the restaurant itself seems no nearer to completion."
"So we continue to drive to southeast Tucson restaurants that are too distant to walk to -- all in different neighborhoods, none with the ambiance inherent in the community of Civano. With a "mixed-use" neighborhood core -- where a combination of residences, retail, and restaurants was envisioned from the start -- we're as sublime a place as any for a venue like Johan's. Why then do we not have a restaurant here? What can the residents of Civano -- and any primarily residential, mixed-use neighborhood -- do to get a café or pub or other chuck wagon?"
"What our community needs is not to wait for the pub, though I yearn for it dearly. Rather, the time has come for an independent neighborhood taco stand: Tacos de Civano."

"The Cat and the Fiddle" is a short story by L. Frank Baum. It is one of the tales in his 1897 collection Mother Goose in Prose.
Little Bobby is the only child of farming parents. Their farm is isolated; Bobby's companions are a black cat, a tawny little dog named Towser, and the family's "moolie-cow." When his father buys the boy a fiddle, Bobby learns to play simple tunes upon it.
One day, his parents leave Bobby alone on the farm, as they travel to town to sell their butter and eggs. Bobby spends his afternoon weeding in the garden; at evening he takes his fiddle, and his supper of bread and milk, down to the coolness of a nearby brook. The animals accompany him. As the sun sets, the moon rises in the east, and is reflected in the water.
Bobby eats his dinner, and then plays his fiddle as the animals listen. Drowsy from his afternoon's work, Bobby dozes. The cat gets its tail caught in the fiddle's strings, and panics; it yowls and screeches as it races about trying to free itself. The startled cow jumps over the creek. Bobby, awakening suddenly, sees the cow jump over the water and the moon's reflection, and for a moment it seems to him that the cow has jumped over the moon.
The dog is also jumping and barking by this time, and sends the dish and spoon from Bobby's supper sliding into the creek. Bobby retrieves his fiddle, and finds that it has survived its rough treatment; he fetches the cow and gets the spoon and dish from the creek.
At home, Bobby lights a lamp and sits down to compose a tune about the incident. The panting dog appears to be smiling at the whole adventure. Bobby puts all of the elements of the evening into the lyric for his song.

Unless you work on remodel jobs on classic older homes where you have to recreate a piece of trim, there is little justification for spending the time and money to custom make pieces for a job. There are so many different fancy moldings available over the counter that the concept of spending the money to create something unique makes not sense unless the customer has really deep pockets.
If, however you do happen to run into a deep pockets type of project, the process of replicating and old trim can be a fulfilling project. If you have been around the trade for a while and/or have been a dedicated hobbyist, it is likely that you already have the tools and training to undertake a project like that.
Matching an old profile is often not just a matter of finding out which bit to use on which piece of wood. It is often a matter of being able to see multi dimensionally. You have to think in three dimensions in order to understand how two or three different bits can be used and in what sequence in order to make a new piece that will match up perfectly with the pieces already in place.
Though you can often get away with a less than perfect reproduction – if the piece is in a position at some remove from the pieces already in place. Especially if you are working in another room. But this is often not the case.
Reproducing old wooden trim pieces is often a complicated task involving several pieces of equipment. Old boards are almost always thicker than the ones commonly available today. That means buying a board that is thicker than what is needed and then planing it down to match thickness. Then the board will have to go to the table saw, because not only were thicknesses different in the past, they were also of different widths, if they were standardized at all.
Only then can one begin to think about using a router or shaper to get the profiles correct.
If more than one bit and one step is required, the sequence of operations becomes important. Often the first step is to set up a full sized router and bit combination in a router table. If there is only one other bit involved, it might be wise to use a smaller hand held router like a trim router, so that the setup in the table doesn't need to be changed. Once you manage to get the setup exactly right, which can take a lot of time to nail down, the last thing you want to have to do is to spend the time to set it up again.
Every step of this process is enjoyable if you keep the end result in mind. Especially if you enjoy the chance to utilize some skills that you have built over the years and seldom get a chance to use.
The planing to thickness, the ripping to width, and both of the profiling steps are tactile pleasures. Especially the final step. Being able to hold the router in your hand and use it for the final step that brings the piece fully into view, is tactile in a way that just pushing wood through a more powerful tool is not – though those steps are not to be discounted.
Once you finish all of those steps and get to the point where you can finally nail those pieces in place, stand back and see the results, results that only a true professional can achieve, you will have the true sense of satisfaction that comes rarely in a career made up of day to day repetition of a limited set of operations.

WEST CALDWELL Despite a stirring 12-2 fourth quarter run against high-powered Newark Tech, the 21st seeded boys basketball team from James Caldwell High School fell just short of its goal of upsetting the 12th slotted Tech Terriers, and fell, 49-46, in a first round Essex County Tournament game on Saturday, Jan. 27, at Our Lady of the Valley in Orange. The loss dropped Caldwell to 9-5 overall, with a 3-3 mark in the league loop.
Two days prior to suffering that stinging setback, though, the Chiefs clinched a berth in the state playoffs with a 58-33 mauling of Madison on Thursday night, Jan. 25, to garner the locals their first state tournament spot since 1997.
The Chiefs trailed Tech, 18-11 after the first frame, but were down by only four, 28-24, at the intermission.
At 32-26, though, JCHS coach Mike Mancino called a time-out during which he assured his club that it was "right there," and just needed to stabilize itself in order to have a great chance to win.
Unfortunately, that time-out signaled the start of a 7-0 run by the Terriers, during which Caldwell committed three turnovers. Thus, heading into the final frame, Caldwell found itself down by 13, at 39-26, a hole just too big to dig out of completely.
Down the stretch of the tough tilt, Caldwell did manage to close the gap to just two, as senior forward Matt Clifford scored a lay-up on a pretty pass from frosh guard Tom Edwards, making the score 48-46, with just about 90 ticks left on the timer.
After a Terriers turnover, Caldwell was in a position to knot the contest, but a Chiefs player missed the front end of a one-and-one free throw chance with 50 seconds left.
JCHS was then forced to foul, a Tech player made one free throw and Caldwell missed a desperation trey try as time expired.
Clifford closed the contest with 16 points and an octet of caroms collected, while junior forward Chaz Hollaway added 11 points, nine boards and four blocked shots to his team's totals.
"The kids played extremely hard, but we just had that very bad stretch in the third," lamented Mancino. "We really needed to get the lead," he said. "They (Tech) really started to panic every time we got close and made some bad passes and some bad decisions. So, I really feel if we could have just tied the game or gone ahead at some point, we would've gone on to win."
While Caldwell didn't attain one of its goals this year, winning at least one ECT game, the locals' other main goal, to earn a states slot, has been reached.
"Getting into the states was, perhaps, our main goal, and so I'm very happy and very proud of this group of players," Mancino said, adding, "The next goal we have is to get into double-figures in wins and that's what we'll be aiming for this week."
The Chiefs were slated to return to Our Lady of the Valley to take on Bishop Francis/Essex Catholic on Tuesday, Jan. 30, but results from that conference contest were not available at press time.

I am finished with the hardware side of installing a new Asterisk based PBX and about 40 polycom phones. The PBX is a linux virtual machine running on VMWare server and the phones pull their config from there. IP's are handed out by the Windows 2003 DHCP server based on the MAC address. So far the system works very well. There is a web-based provisioning system for adding new phones which was provided by the consulting firm helping us with the deployment.

The open source PBX movement is sounding more and more tempting at times! What made you decide on Asterisk instead of a "package" like Elastix?
How much work did you do vs what you had to rely on the consultants for?
Are you using a SIP trunk? I imagine you had to since the PBX machine is virtual.
Apr 26, 2010 at 6:55 UTC
The first "package" I found was AsterisKnow and the VoiceIP solutions people know Asterisk.
On the hardware side it's about 75/25 our work/their work. We specified the phones, they specified the gateways. On the software side it's more like 10/90. I'm learning, but this is a production system. It had to work right away. Part of the deal with the consultants is they agree up front that there is no "secret sauce". Our goal is to not need them except for major emergencies.
No SIP trunk, a PRI/T1 is running into a Medaitrix 3301 gateway.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
We recommend not virtualizing Asterisk on VMWare but on Xen/XenServer because of the way that they handle Linux kernel paravirtualization. We've tried both technologies and Xen drastically outperformed VMWare in our tests. The difference in the underlying way that they virtualize actually makes it make sense for low latency applications like sound processing.
Apr 27, 2010 at 12:54 UTC
Interesting point Scott. We are a small shop and no one has any experience with Xen. We went with what we knew. The consultants we were working with had to be convinced to support virtualization anyway, they had never used it and weren't sure how it would work with Asterisk. No problems so far, but most basic phone stuff does very little processing on the server itself. Meetings and such will tax the system more and I will report anything we see once those features are being used.
Apr 27, 2010 at 3:31 UTC
Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
On some older VMWare platforms we could audibly hear the degradation from the hypervisor switching in and out of context. Xen paravirtualizes the whole stack taking the hypervisor response time way down.
We've had virtualized Asterisk for seven years or so now. Just recently we moved to our first cloud hosted system too! (We do Asterisk virtualization for customers.)
Apr 28, 2010 at 10:56 UTC
I wish I had found you when I was looking for an Asterisk experienced VoIP consultant who knows virtualization. I limited my search to the Pacific Northwest, maybe that is why I didn't find you.

I am interested in setting up an astrisk system for a remote site, about 25 phones.
i would also like to virtualize the system using Server 2008 and Hyper-V, i wonder if that will work ok?
Apr 29, 2010 at 12:18 UTC
We have almost 50 phones, 4 analog adapters with two lines each and are working on getting some fxo ports to tie into another sites PBX. No problems other than programming issues which we are working out.
I'm personally not very familiar with Server 2008 and Hyper-V, but as long as linux runs on it ok, it should work fine. SAM suggests using Xen rather than VMWare, but I don't know how he feels about Hyper-V.
Apr 29, 2010 at 4:43 UTC
Let me know when you do.
We have clients in the Pac NW but we don't have an office there yet. We hope to by late this year.
There are times when I really wish I could call in The Boys from Dover for various tasks that are outside my areas of expertise.
My experience with outside help has been spotty.
We called in a small local outfit to assist with an IT overhaul, and ended up hiring one of the guys.
He's great - but we have Seattle locations (3 hour drive - but doable) and NY locations - and we have just about enough work here to keep us both busy.
We live in fear of something going Dreadfully Wrong in NYC, and being unable to deal with it remotely.

Pork Tenderloin Rodriguez W/Guava Glaze & Orange Habaneros
Recipe by Manami
This recipe was originally part of a menu by Bobby Flay for a backyard barbecue. Bobby Flay's Boy Gets Grill, 2004. "My good friend Eddie Rodriguez, a clothing designer (he is the Rodriguez in Wilke-Rodriguez), is my longtime guide to the wonderful world of Cuban flavor. This recipe is my tribute to him. Lime, orange, garlic, cumin, vinegar, and just the right amount of chile heat are, to me, what makes Cuban food so irresistible. If you've never tasted a real Cuban mojo, the classic sauce for pork, plantains, and a lot of other staples, prepare to be blown away. I like to grill pork tenderloins, which cook fast and stay juicy. Lean pork tenderloins cook like chicken breasts. They're very simple and very tender, but you have got to get them off the grill before they overcook. As soon as they firm up, they are DONE." One footnote: if you can get sour oranges that's even better to make the mojo or if not, make it a combination of orange juice and grapefruit juice.
Top Review by shelly5tex
Wonderful recipe and beautiful presentation. Family and friends loved it! Only thing I changed was using jalapenos instead of habaneros and not adding cumin - just a personal preference. Grilled vegetables alongside and you have the perfect meal. I know it looks like a lot of steps and ingredients, but it really is easy to make. I made the glaze and mojo earlier in the day which made it easier also!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup guava jelly (available at Latin and Caribbean markets & large supermarkets) or 1 cup apricot jam
- 1⁄4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1⁄4 cup orange juice (preferably fresh)
- salt & freshly ground black pepper

- 2 tablespoons mild vegetable oil, such as canola
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 3 cups orange juice (preferably fresh)
- 1⁄2 cup fresh lime juice (not the bottled kind)

Directions See How It's Made
- Whisk the ingredients together and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The glaze can be made a few days in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.).
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes; do not brown.
- Add the orange juice, lime juice, and habanero and bring to a boil.
- Cook until reduced by half.
- Whisk in the cilantro and cumin and season to taste with salt and pepper. (The mojo can be made a few hours in advance and set aside at room temperature.).
- Heat your grill to high.

When the Ragin' Cajuns visit Prather Coliseum on Saturday, the correct mixture of aggression and caution will be a critical component.
The Louisiana-Lafayette men's basketball squad (6-4), coming off three straight home-court wins, will face Northwestern State (3-5) at 3 p.m. in its final nonconference contest of the season.
"They push the ball and press a lot the whole game," Cajuns senior guard Xavian Rimmer said. "We have to beat the press and take care of the ball."
Rimmer made five 3-pointers and scored 20 points when the teams met last year at the Cajundome, a 105-74 victory for the Cajuns.
"We shot pretty well," Rimmer said. "(Ex-Cajuns point guard Elfrid) Payton broke the press, and I was able to spot up (in 3-point range)."
Getting that kind of team shooting performance again would be beneficial for the Cajuns ... on defense.
"The first part of defensive transition is taking good shots," coach Bob Marlin said.
Making the Demons inbound the ball after made baskets is one way to slow the Demons' guard tandem of Jalan West and Zeek Woodley. Woodley is averaging 23.8 points, fourth-most in the nation. West is handing out 8.4 assists per game, which leads the country.
"West and Woodley have great speed, and they pitch the ball ahead," Marlin said. "Both teams play fast."
The Cajuns started fast in both of their past two games, putting up 115 points each time out in victories against Centenary and Milligan. Now the challenge is to take that efficiency on the road to an arena Marlin visited many times as coach at Sam Houston State from 1998-2010.
"It's always good when you play a team from the past with the same style and coaching staff," Marlin said. "But I don't remember it ever being comforting going to Prather."
One challenge that Demons coach Mike McConathy frequently throws at opponents is using large-scale substitutions — bringing in a wave of five fresh players from the bench.
"We tell our guys to be aware of mass substitutions," Marlin said. "You always have to be aware who you are guarding. ... It's 'Play as hard as you can for 4 to 6 minutes,' and it brings energy to the court."
The Demons will be tasked with countering the energy of Cajuns forward Shawn Long, who is averaging 16.0 points and 8.0 rebounds. Demons senior center Marvin Frazier (6-foot-9) likely will be the primary defender assigned to Long.
All of Northwestern State's victories are against non-Division I teams: Lyon, LSU-Alexandria and Missouri Valley.
"We jumped on them pretty good early in the game last year," Marlin said. "Just like McNeese did (avenging last year's loss with an 80-70 win in Lake Charles on Dec. 6), they will want to even the score."

Typically flavored vodkas are reserved for amateur umbrella drink lovers or the I'm fancy because my drink is in a martini glass crowd. Most of the flavored vodkas have a very fake even a chemical taste to them, however that is not the case at all with these Ciroc Vodkas. The infused flavors actually taste amazing with Coconut being our favorite. We really have to tip our hats off to Diddy for this one.

Are the homeowners profiled in the article "Loan modification snags spark suits" seriously expecting average Americans to support their lawsuit? The cover story refers to a couple in Lake Stevens, Wash., suing Bank of America because their $4,000 monthly mortgage was not permanently reduced (Money, Friday).
READ ARTICLE: Loan modification snags spark suits
Photographs that accompanied the story show what appears to be a large luxury home and manicured lawn. Call me old fashioned, but I fail to see why U.S. taxpayers and Bank of America should subsidize extravagant home buyers with champagne tastes and beer budgets.
Helping folks dealing with chronic unemployment, disease or other tragedy is one thing. Using tax dollars to finance designer kitchens and professional landscaping is quite another. Even in the event of bankruptcy or foreclosure, it's likely that the couple will continue to reside in their luxury home, free of payments, for two years before the bank actually takes the home back.
The vast majority of homeowners who render their payments on time would also enjoy a payment reduction. Unfortunately, instead of a government-sponsored windfall, they face huge tax bills, subsidizing less responsible home buyers.
The American people are the most generous in the world, but they have had their fill of picking up the tab for homeowners whose housing "needs" exceed their income.
One can only hope that a court will recognize the situation for what it is and put an end to it before more taxpayer resources are wasted.
Ronda Ross; San Jose
Housing slump persists
Although it's great to see the U.S. auto industry coming back, the rest of the economy is still in trouble. One thing that is growing more obvious all the time is that housing is still depressed.
For years, housing has been golden. People used to be told, "Buy as much house as you can afford." The reasoning was that housing could be counted on to appreciate in value, seemingly every year and by a healthy percentage. Well, it's a new day. Housing will continue to be an investment, of course, but less of a sure thing. Housing is big part of the economy, and the housing slump has been devastating.
Robert Peele; Rocky Mount, N.C.
Prepare for hardships
In the photo on the front page of Friday's Money section, Anthony and April Soper, of Lake Stevens, Wash., could not have posed with more pitiful looks on their faces.
If they had put in the thought and energy upon entering into the mortgage that is now going into their lawsuit, perhaps they would not be in this situation.
They had a $4,000 monthly mortgage payment. Did they not think about job loss or other financial hardships that could have befallen them? I have no sympathy.
When do I get financial help for the 30 years of mortgage payments I made on time every month that didn't cost the taxpayers one dime?
