Balancing Act
I'm getting busy. Really busy. I know, I know, everyone is busy these days. We live in a very busy culture. I'm not so sure that is a good thing, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'm taking on more time at the part time job I am working. I'm officially launching my own business, and joined a program to make sure that I stay on track with it. Those two things are relatively new and could easily take up all of my time, except that I still have all the things that used to take up all of my time. I have three kids to raise and house to maintain. I also have an ailing mother in another state. And I have a creative streak that is a vital part of who I am… and a body I try to keep healthy… and friendships I am trying to foster and maintain… How can I keep up with it all?
Yesterday, I told Joe that the next several months are going to be a bit like a residency for me. See, Joe actually went through a medical residency in which he worked 80 hours per week (at least) for 5 years. The way I see it, even though my work doesn't look anything like his, and I happen to be home more often, I need the discipline and long hours of a residency to accomplish my goals this year.
But then I remembered something I wrote in 2007 during the peak of Joe's residency. It was an essay for the NPR program "This I Believe." (I'm an NPR junkie, if you haven't noticed). I submitted it, and nothing ever happened, but it is still true. My life looked a little different then, but it was good for me to revisit my belief as I look toward the near future:
I Believe in Balance (For NPR's "This I Believe")
I believe in striving for a balanced life. I am a mother of two toddlers, a consultant for nonprofit organizations, someone trying to stay in shape, fuel my creative spirit, be a global citizen. I could write an entire essay about any one of these things. But, I have come to realize that the most important thing is just trying to keep all of them in my life.
Oh, did I mention I'm also a doctor's wife? My husband, Joe, is an orthopaedic surgery resident. My belief in balance has been confirmed over the past two years – six if you count medical school – as I watched my husband's life be consumed by medicine. Don't get me wrong, medicine is a noble profession, but I can't imagine having such a singular existence.
Tonight, Joe came home after a 32-hour shift, too tired to give our kids the quality daddy time they so desperately want. He fell asleep in a chair after dinner. So, our 2 and 3-year-olds helped me take daddy upstairs, tuck him in bed, and kiss him good night.
Besides work and sleep, Joe doesn't have time for anything else. Typically, he doesn't even have time for three meals a day.
I believe that people need many things in their life to be fulfilled. I believe extremism in any single facet of one's life is limiting to the human spirit. Joe's extreme work situation is constraining his creativity, spirituality, relationships. I know he misses spending time with the kids and me, and doing things that feed his soul like playing the guitar, building things, and even making a good home-brewed beer.
As for me, I try to find balance in my life. In addition to raising our two children, doing my work, and maintaining our home, I'm also trying to go to the gym regularly, take voice lessons, volunteer at church, learn a new language. Then I realize I've achieved extreme busyness. True balance means also having some down time, some reflective and relaxing moments along with the busy times. I'm not sure I'll ever find the perfect balance, or even that it exists. But I find fulfillment in having many facets to my life, and to my self.
Right now, having quality time with my husband is one of the things that is out of balance, for both of us. Although, the other night, he stayed awake to spend a half an hour singing duets with his guitar for old time's sake.
Holiday Cheers
Yesterday, I went to the studios of Wisconsin Public Radio and interviewed with some producers from NPR in Washington D.C. for a segment on All Things Considered. I was so excited and nervous that the interview didn't go anything like I had imagined or hoped. But hopefully they got enough useable content for their piece, which will air on Christmas Eve or Christmas day.
It all came about when I heard a request for stories about food that people eat on Christmas. "I have to do this!" I thought. Our family Christmas is steeped in all kinds of traditions, though not many of them involve food… unless you count a 7-layer taco dip. So I decided to write about the holiday drink that my family has been serving for 29 years. Here is the essay I submitted:
My Favorite Christmas … Drink
My favorite culinary Christmas tradition isn't actually food… it's a drink. Whenever the family gathered at our house for Christmas, the dinner was always different. But there was one thing you could count on. As the adults were sitting and chatting, my dad would bring out a tray of "Holiday Harveys." It seems like we may be the only family who still knows of this drink, since Google came up surprisingly empty when I searched for "Holiday Harvey." Not a single hit!
A Holiday Harvey is based on the "Harvey Wallbanger," a drink made with orange juice, a shot of vodka, and a splash of Galliano liqueur on top. My mom found the recipe in a 1983 issue of Good Housekeeping, and we still have the clipping today. The Holiday Harvey uses Five Alive instead of orange juice for a brighter citrus taste. Though, the original recipe called for "Squeeze Six," a citrus juice drink that no longer exists.
But more important than the drink itself were the tall, lime-green frosted Blendo tumblers that they were served in. Our whole family has a sentimental attachment to those green "Holiday Harvey" glasses. The tray my dad carried glowed like the northern lights. Unfortunately, over the years, their numbers diminished and we had to use other serving ware. But a Holiday Harvey never tastes quite as good, at least to us, as one served in a tall lime-green glass.
As a child, I was, of course, not allowed to partake. But as my cousins and siblings and I grew older, getting handed a Holiday Harvey of our own was like an initiation to adulthood. With time, as our family grew, we introduced this drink to significant others and spouses. While some were skeptical at first, everyone came to look forward to their Holiday Harvey at Christmas.
I remember one year my dad interrupted the conversation to ask what everyone wanted to drink. Perhaps he thought it was time to move on or that some people might want something else. But everyone looked at him with confused expressions on their faces. "Aren't we having Holiday Harveys?!" And ten minutes later, the tray appeared and we haven't questioned the tradition since.
Inspired by this assignment, I went on a search, and this time Google did not let me down. I was able to find the exact same vintage tumblers, and I can't wait to surprise my family this year with a lime-green tray of Holiday Harveys.
Cheers and Merry Christmas!
Where are the brakes?
It has been two months since I last wrote. That is an eternity on the internet. I watched the days slip by, some ideas came and went, but I never wrote them down.
There are two reasons for my silence. First, I'm finding it a lot harder to write when I am home. It is a realization that has become part of the definition of "home" for me.
Home n. (hōm): A place where things are so normal, they don't seem interesting enough to write about on your blog.
Things are also much more personal at home. When I was writing in Switzerland, it was about all the things that were going on around me, or things that were happening to me. And though they were part of my life at the time, that chapter of my life feels like a separate book. Like I put my "real life" on hold for a while to have that experience. And the experience itself was a constant flow of things to write about.
Here, when things happen, they don't just feel like part of a fun adventure. They are part of my life. And it is a lot scarier to write about real life choices and struggles and joys. But I'm working on it.
The second thing that makes it harder to write now is that I am so much busier. Being home also means that I have more responsibilities, more things to do, and a lot more stuff. I am engaged in things I enjoy, but sometimes I feel like I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off. The other day I found myself missing not having a car. I laughed because the thing I missed most often in Switzerland was my car. But now I feel tied to it. There is hardly anything I can do without it.
I had intended to slowly reintegrate myself, being careful not to get involved in too much too quickly. Apparently I'm not very good at that. Now I manage our household with three kids, sit on a volunteer committee, have a part time job, and I'm starting my own business. (More on that soon, I promise!)
So, perhaps this space is a reminder for me to slow down. To really experience things and to find the courage to share them.
Concert Week
Singing is part of my identity. I have been singing for as long as I can remember. With a music teacher for a mother, and a father who is musically… enthusiastic, it was just natural. I sang in the children's choir at church, which my mom accompanied. And I still remember my first solo performance — I sang "The Rose" in my 5th grade talent show.
From then on, I was always singing in choirs. My choir teacher in High School, Mr. Squires, was one of the biggest influences in my life. Beyond making music, he taught us about priorities and discipline and responsibility. Some people learned these things through sports, but I learned them in the choir room. That's where I made friends and also had a ton of fun. I traveled to Europe for the first time with my High School choir, which began my love affair with exploring the world.
I especially remember Mr. Squires during concert week. Each spring he created a freestyle concert called "Celebration" that featured the school choirs as well as students performing solos and group numbers. It was a lot to coordinate, and we would practice every day after school until late in the evening during concert week. There were two things Mr. Squires told us during concert week. First, "drink until you pee clear." So, all the choir geeks would walk around with water bottles during school drinking as much water as we could to stay hydrated. Second, "don't get sick. If your body says its feeling sick, just tell it 'that's not allowed. You can get sick after the concert, but not this week.'" We pushed through the ups and downs, and created great concerts.
Singing has continued to be a part of my life in varying degrees. I joined a choir in college, took more voice lessons along the way, and when we moved to Milwaukee, the first thing I looked up was a choir to join. That is how I found my first job in Milwaukee as the Managing Director of the Bel Canto Chorus. I worked with wonderful people and talented musicians who continued to shape me as a person. And again, in Switzerland, joining the local choir was how I met people and stayed sane during the challenges of living abroad. Being in a choir is a familiar experience for me, and making music with other people breaks down cultural and language barriers like magic. It was like coming home.
Well, now it is concert week again. I am finally an official singing member of the Bel Canto Chorus, and my first concert is this Sunday. I'm drinking water like crazy! We have several nighttime rehearsals this week. But the biggest challenge this time is the piece itself. We are singing an a cappella symphony by Alexander Levine that is easily the hardest piece I have ever sung. It has tightly clustered chords and erratic rhythms. When we stopped having a piano to help us with our notes, it seemed we would never get it. It reminded me of a scene from the movie Shakespeare in Love when the performance of the play is threatened to fail:
"The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster."
"So what do we do?"
"Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well."
"I don't know. It's a mystery."
I think all performers can relate to that. Heck, I think everyone can relate to that. When we face challenges, things do always workout eventually. I would argue, however, that we don't do "nothing." We still must put one foot in front of the other, take every step even though we don't necessarily know where we will end up. And somehow, it all works out.
I am dedicating my performance in this concert to my mom, who gave me the gift of music and who is taking her own steps on a difficult path into the unknown. And though we are geographically distant, music still has the power to make me feel close to her. And I know she will be with me on Sunday as we strive to ensure that it "turns out well."
Endings and Beginnings
My mom is sick. Really sick.
There are so many other things I wanted to write about. But my mom is sick.
It is so hard to think about it. I wasn't sure if I should write about it. But, my mom is sick, and I find that I can't write about anything else.
Last weekend, I went to Minnesota to be with my mom and dad. I found myself doing things for my mom that I am used to doing for my young children. Helping her get dressed, cleaned, and fed. At this stage, it is like our roles are reversed. I am now mothering my own mother. It is as though, in the circle of life, she is getting closer to where she started out. It is true that we end very near to where we begin. And maybe that's what this is about — endings and beginnings.
For the last 8 years, my mom has dedicated much of her time to being an amazing mother and grandmother. She watched and held babies whenever she could. She took grandkids to music classes. She travelled to Switzerland for the express purpose to play with her grandchildren. She often stayed back with the youngest grandchildren while the older ones went on to bigger things with the other adults. I think that was her favorite role.
As a mother and as a teacher, she has always had an affinity to small children. I've often thought she is like a kid at heart. Playing and singing and watching for hours, after most other adults would have gotten bored or gone crazy.
She can no longer do those things.
It is, at least for now, the end of another stage of life. She is no longer the babysitter, the hostess, or the traveler she has been. But, an ending also means a new beginning.
Right now, it is difficult to accept, not to mention embrace, this new beginning. Partially that is because we didn't choose this situation, and also because we don't really know what the new situation is. Between each ending and beginning is that nasty thing called transition. That's where we are stuck right now… in transition.
Transition is hard. It means change. It means uncertainty. It means waiting for time to tell. It means adapting to what each day brings.
It's been several months, and we still don't really know what is wrong. The doctors don't know. And perhaps that is the biggest frustration — not knowing. But we live in hope, and also in fear, that maybe the next doctor, or the next appointment will bring some answers.
At least with knowledge, we can embark on a new beginning.
One Year Ago…
There is a new game I like to play called, "What was I doing at this time last year?" It's a fun way to relive our year abroad and bring back fun memories. And it so happens that this week last year was extremely memorable. It was fall break, and we went on one of the best family vacations we have ever had.
First of all, I have decided that having longer breaks in the middle of the school year is really nice. This year, my kids have several days off of school in September and October, but they are all spread out. Having just one extra day isn't enough to do very much. A three day weekend, while nice in some ways, is not really that different from a regular weekend. And if you try to squeeze in something big, you just end up exhausted and stressed. So this fall, we are taking things slow. I've had some great, laid back days with my kids. Sitting outside, reading, going to parks. It's really nice.
But not last year. Last year at this time, we were in the first part of a three-week-long break. And, let me tell you, three weeks is a really long time. We took two family vacations – one to Germany and one to the Swiss Alps – and we still had a week in between to just relax, and a day at the end to recuperate before going back to school refreshed and rejuvenated. It was wonderful. Just different.
Anyway, in the first week, we headed to Southern Germany for a week of incredible experiences, hilarious mishaps (at least they're hilarious in hind sight), and some of our most popular blog posts ever. I think all family vacations are similar in that, while you see things and go places that you planned in advance, it is often the experiences that were unplanned that create the strongest memories. We went to Oktoberfest, visited Legoland Deutschland, and saw the castles in Hohenschwangau. It was, at times, idillic. However, we also remember our ridiculous travel day from Münich to Legoland, and how Henry got plowed over by a careless teenager and had a scraped face for the rest of the trip. But to my dismay, the post that everyone talks about from our entire year in Europe, is the one about Henry's diaper disaster on the Alpsee in the shadow of the Neuschwanstein Castle. I think every parent on the planet can relate to that experience in some form or another. And it happened one year ago, almost to the day.
A stroll down memory lane is an enjoyable, if somewhat treacherous thing.
Wasted Time
I just went for a walk around my neighborhood, and up the street there was an old man laying in his front yard listening to the radio and pulling weeds by hand. He greeted me and joked about having a weeding job for me (at least I think it was a joke). Then he said, "Keep an eye on that patch," pointing to a patch of dirt in his yard about a foot in diameter. "If that patch doesn't have weedless grass in the spring, then I'm just wasting my time." I smiled and agreed to keep an eye on it, assuring him that I didn't think he was wasting his time.
But it got me thinking. What if there is no grass in the spring? What if it grows back with weeds, which, more likely than not, is what will happen. Does that mean the beautiful sunny day he spent working outside was wasted? Absolutely not! At the end of today, he will have a sense of accomplishment, not to mention a lot of fresh air. What happens 9 months from now won't change that. If his efforts turn out to be a failure, does that mean he shouldn't have tried in the first place? That it was a waste? On the contrary, he should learn from his first effort and get out there and try again.
This is important to me right now, since I'm spending most of my time trying to do two things: raise my kids and start a business. The idea of parenting being a waste of time is laughable, though there are individual moments when I wonder whether what I am doing matters. But what if my business fails (as many do)? At times, both of these things feel like an endless field of weeds. I work hard pulling weeds, planting seeds, and praying for rain. And inevitably more weeds pop up. And I do the work not because I expect to have a perfect lawn, but because I believe that each small success along the way makes a difference.
Trying to make the world a better place, one child, one business, or one patch of grass at a time is never a waste.
Different is Different
During our year in Switzerland, we experienced many differences between things there and what we were used to in America. Everything from the smallest details of daily life like greetings and food to large cultural and value differences like the language and the education system. There were thousands of differences of varying degrees, which is a big part of what makes living abroad such an amazing experience. There is value in opening your mind to different ways of doing things, adapting your own behavior, and eventually understanding the underlying reasons for the differences and making informed decisions.
It is very easy to be judgmental about cultural differences. Some Americans travel abroad and complain about everything. They believe that the good ol' American way is the best, and that the rest of the world is just wrong. They wonder, "How can people live like that!?" They refuse to change what they wear, or what they eat, not to mention the nuances of how they talk or the language they use. "Doesn't someone around here speak English?" As you can imagine, it can be somewhat off-putting to the people around them.
Fortunately, not everyone is like that. Many people enjoy experiencing other cultures and do their best to integrate and try different lifestyle choices. We tend to be on the extreme end of this continuum, assuming the best about the cultures we visit. Different is good, right? The food is… fresher. The people are… more loyal. The transportation system is… amazing.
Of course, there are other adjectives, good and bad, that could be used to describe each of those things in Switzerland. (Well, except the transportation system… that really is amazing). And the more we experienced the Swiss culture, the more complex our descriptions became. The food is fresher, more local, pretty bland, and very expensive.
When you have a deeper understanding of something, it is much harder to categorize it as "good" or "bad." It just is what it is. Different isn't necessarily better or worse, it's just different.
Coming home, we had this experience in reverse. Now we see American things with new eyes, and it is easy to jump to judgements about which is better, and I keep reminding myself, "It's just different."
Anyone who is married knows this feeling. Integrating into a new family is a lot like integrating into a new culture. It's amazing how different two families can be! The dynamics, the expectations, the values and beliefs, how they talk, what they eat…. It takes time to embody the ways of another family and understand them fully, or as fully as possible. After 10 years, I love my in-laws like my own family, but it is still different.
Just like I love both Switzerland and America. I wouldn't want them to be the same. That would be so boring! Then we wouldn't have the opportunity to experience differences and challenge ourselves to understand them.
So maybe different is good after all.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Air conditioner recirculating on 2007 Dodge Caliber
It's a hot day outside (around 100 degrees). I was driving back from a day at the lake. I turned my air conditioner on and turned on the recirculation to get the car cooler. As I was driving, I noticed the recirculation was off. I was pretty sure I turned it on so I hit the button again. I looked later, and it was off again. I hit the button again, and I watched it turn itself back off again. Even holding the button down didn't help. I stopped off to eat. When I got back in the car, I was able to run the AC and recirculation for 20 minutes until I arrived at home. I don't know if this was because it was so hot or if this is a sign of bad things to come.
This may be a problem with the switch, or the actuator or servo that changes the recirculating air mode from fresh to recirculate.Faulty Electrical circuits show up at higher and lower temperatures,as faulty mechanical opperations persists.
I'm having this problem with my Honda Civic except that the recirculation button goes off when I redirect the air, coming out of the vents, to the floor. Any thoughts on why this happens?
This sounds like the actuator or the door is causing high load on that circuit,,and the push button switch,may be faulty as well,and dont hold its on position,this may be a poor ground ,or just anything within this circuit,do you ever smell hot wireing? Are you replaceing fan fuses?
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Christmas Memories
Christmas Memories, Part I
It's no secret my father, Dick Nash, is a great trombonist. But less is known of his and my mother's roles as civil rights activists. Through their associations with an organization called Operation Bootstrap, my family was introduced to a man who called himself Hakim Jamal (formerly Allen Donaldson). He was a disciple of Malcolm X, and became an active spokesman for the Nation of Islam and of Black Supremacy, groups that would refer to the white man as The Devil. You can read a little about Hakim Jamal here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakim_Jamal.
In 1967, my parents got to know Jamal from seeing him at various civil rights meetings and fundraisers. When late December arrived, my mother invited Jamal and his family to come to our home and trim the Christmas tree with friends, a ritual very special to us. He said his family wouldn't be interested. My mother snapped back, "Why don't you ask them." "OK, I will" was his response, sure they wouldn't want to drive all the way from Compton to spend the evening in a white family's home.
About three days later an envelope arrived in the mail with several letters, all handwritten by the Jamal children, saying "Yes, we want to come trim the tree with you." My mother called Jamal's bluff and won.
When the anticipated night finally arrived, my father made the climb up to the loft on a ladder that seemed to stretch upward for miles, a climb that took him to some magical place above the garage we kids were not allowed to go. This is where they kept all the Christmas decorations, and other magical things (we imagined).
When the boxes were brought to the living room, my mother would unpack the contents carefully and dust everything off. In these cartons were items that perhaps because they were only seen once a year, seemed so precious and valuable - glass balls of the most vibrant colors, ornaments handmade in elementary school by my parents, endless strands of lights and tinsel. My dad would ask one of us to help him identify the "duds" along the line of Christmas lights and we would carefully replace them.
Eventually everything would be organized and ready for THIS YEAR'S TREE, which was certainly the best one ever. My mom would continue preparing food and drinks, and we kids would wait impatiently for friends to arrive so we could start trimming.
When the Jamals' car pulled in the driveway, the headlights swept across the floor-to-ceiling curtains, and our pet Mynah Bird barked like a dog (mimicking Lucky, our miniature poodle). The front door opened, and six people poured at different speeds into the house. There was one person missing: Jamal. He was a very stubborn man, and apparently had no intention of coming in to be part of our Christmas, just brought the family as per their wishes, and in keeping of his promise. He actually stayed out in the car the entire evening. Looking back, I wonder what was going through his head for those hours, while his family was in the "Devil's" house.
During the months that followed, the Nashes and Jamals got very close, and that summer went on a week-long vacation to the Grand Canyon.
I think that Jamal's softening happened for a couple reasons. One is that Malcolm X had left the Nation of Islam, disavowing racism, and Jamal followed suit. But I like to think the main reason is that he saw my parents for who there were: caring, giving people that embraced all into their lives. No hidden motives, just love. Once he felt that, he opened up to and trusted us.
To open your home is the true spirit of Christmas. The gifts are pretty nice, too.

Christmas Memories, Part II
Mr. Winter was the name of my junior high school band director, and although his name suggested something cool, he was anything but. He had a temper. And the way he dissipated this temper, which was easily aggravated by a room full of thirteen-year-olds and their benign disrespect, was to leave the band room and smoke a cigarette.
One day in early December we took advantage of his absence by passing a coffee can, collecting funds for his Christmas gift. This action was repeated several times over a week or so. When the clinking sounds of dimes, nickels and pennies hitting other dimes, nickels and pennies came to an end we new it was time to add up the booty. $16.34. Not bad.
My best friend Mike Lane and I were put in charge of acquiring the gift with this fortune. First stop: ask my dad for advice. "Cologne is always nice," he said without much thought. "You're not serious?" my mother snapped back, certain there was a more creative idea floating about.
"Hey," my dad said, after giving it more thought, "why don't we go down to Bob Stoller's and see if he has anything lying around." Bob was our very good friend - a brilliant sculptor, and card-carrying schizophrenic, whose Ventura Blvd. storefront gallery was a couple miles down the road.
We entered the gallery and Bob greeted us. The space was not large, but impressive with welded metal sculptures here and there on dark-stained wooden bases. The storefront was divided into three sections: the gallery, his living space (which was no more than a cot, hot plate, and chest of drawers), and workshop. The latter was the largest of the three sections, and clearly where he spend the most time.
"Hey, Bob, the kids collected some money for a gift for their band director at school and wondered of you had anything." "Well, let's see - how much did you collect?" I dumped the money on his desk. "Sixteen dollars and thirty-four cents," I proudly reported. He looked down at the heap of coins, and back up at me. I figured the blank expression on his face was his attempt at veiling his overwhelming excitement. After a few seconds of thinking he said "Sure, I'll do it. I'll make something." He told us to check back with him the following week.
More than a week had passed. It was now December 23rd, and my father decided it was time to call Bob. Bob had completely forgotten about the project, but promised he would have something by the next day and hung up. My father, sensing my disappointment, assured me Bob would pull it together.
Christmas Eve arrived. My father, brother and I were rehearsing the Christmas carols my dad cleverly arranged for our little trio, which possessed a range of strengths and weakness (mostly weaknesses). On this night, for the past couple years, we hopped around to households of various friends and neighbors. An important and well-anticipated stop on this year's agenda was the house of none other than the hot-tempered Mr. Winter.
Bob Stoller called and said he would be right over - he had something for us. Bob also happened to be our flashlight holder when we performed our carols. He had originated and mastered a technique of holding three flashlights at the same time, equally illuminating the music on the metal folding music stands.
When Bob entered the house he looked stressed, excited and relieved all at the same time. With bags under his eyes, and a slight sweat covering his gray face, he produced his commission. Our jaws dropped and we gasped. Bob was holding the most beautiful creation: a conductor, complete with tails, in the throws of a passionate gesture. He had apparently been working all night on it, and was looking at us with a big grin, happy he didn't disappoint us.
Later that night we quietly parked our car two houses down from Mr. Winter's modest Valley ranch home and quickly set up our music stands. With the flashlights masterly focused, we began playing our first carol. After no more than ten seconds Mr. Winter and his wife opened the door and came out onto the porch, and listened intently to our concert. When we finished, they invited us into the house for a quick hot toddy. That's when we made our presentation. I set the awkwardly wrapped package on his coffee table. "What is THIS?" he asked. "It's a gift from the band," I replied. "Open it." "Now? In front of everybody?" He hesitated, and then just decided to go for it. Mr. Winter stared in disbelief upon seeing the art piece, and his eyes filled with water. In the three years I had been in the concert band, I had seen many of his expressions, but not the one we were witnessing at that moment.
About thirty years later, Bob Stoller was dying of cancer. I went to visit him at his little house (he had lost his gallery years before). He was in his bed, by himself, with the shades all pulled down. The air was stuffy, and smelled like cigarettes. We talked about art. I gave him a book I had put together of my young kids' drawings. He looked at each very carefully. He then told me he was always looking for a childlike quality in his artwork.
"Hey Bob," I said at a quiet moment. "Do you remember the time we came over and gave you sixteen dollars and thirty four cents, and you made that incredible sculpture for Mr. Winter? Well, that was was one of the most generous things I have ever seen." Bob just laughed and said "Hell, you kidding - I needed the money."

Christmas Memories, Part III
When I was six my father had the brilliant idea of introducing me to music by teaching me to play the trombone. I think this action may technically qualify as child abuse. I survived, but not without an incident that traumatized me for life.
Now, if any of you know how a trombone works (I had to be reminded of this once by sacbut specialist Ron Westray, but that's another story) you will be cognizant of the fact that at age six there is no way to reach the bottom positions - sixth and seventh - without either being a contortionist, or letting go of the slide. This restriction made it difficult, but not impossible to play a few melodies, and with this knowledge my father prepared me for my first concert. This took place on Christmas Eve. The repertoire: the perennial classic "Jingle Bells."
My dad had me practicing for several days leading up to the concert. When the big night finally arrived, the extended Nash family, the Persoffs, and several other close friends were spread around the living room on our eclectic collection of chairs and floor pillows. An announcement was made and I entered from the dining room. There was no opening act, no fanfare. (True art needs no ornamentation). The applause became more enthusiastic as the group caught sight of the skinny little blond kid trying to carry this awkward assemblage of pipes. Even though I was nervous, I am sure I had the intuitive understanding that no matter what I played they would like it. But this didn't stop me from taking this concert very seriously, from grabbing it full on, from giving it my all.
I got right to it. I remembered the first seven notes were the same, an A, and I had to put the slide down a little from the top - "second position" in my newly acquired vernacular. After that I faltered: the next note was supposed to a C, but sounded more like a B. Then I lost confidence and clammed a note. From there it was down hill. I think what I eventually played sounded more like "Dradle, Dradle, Dradle" than "Jingle Bells."
When the song was over and the last note finally petered out, my performance was greeted by a thunderous ovation. My intuitive understanding also told me they were probably all faking it, and I ran back to the dining room crying. My father caught up with me seconds before the trombone was to have found a new home on the grass, on the other side of the window (in a pool of broken glass). "That was great! Perfect!" he assured me.
Once my whimpers had subsided, and my shoulders had made their last up and down spasm, I braved the family and friends again and did my best to receive their accolades (whether authentic or not) and had some egg nog.

Beautifully written, Ted -- and it brought a tear or two as it went on. I didn't realize what a struggle you had with the trombone. Thank God for the clarinet. And the rest is history.

I loved your Christmas memories Ted, although I do not remember the trombone concert. I do remember many of the Christmas carol performances with Bob Stoller though! I hope that your Dad has seen these, they are a great tribute to him and the family Christmas traditions.

God Bless you for sharing these incredible stories of your youth Ted! You are a natural born writer too! This is such a treat, knowing your family for over 50 years, and remembering when you first were studying the clarinet, and then later your first gig with the great Lionel Hampton when you came to Hawaii. But these are the stories and memories I never really knew about until now.

https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=54274 orcmid <firstname.lastname@example.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|CONFIRMED |RESOLVED CC| |firstname.lastname@example.com Version|OOO 2.0 Beta2 |605 Resolution| |WONTFIX --- Comment #3 from orcmid <firstname.lastname@example.com> 2012-04-11 01:15:42 UTC --- None of the ways of setting protections, including protect against changing the change-tracking settings and protecting a document as read-only are security provisions. It is easy for the protection settings to be overcome by direct manipulation of XML elements in the ODF package. The protection can be removed, forged, and moved onto other documents without knowing the password that is used. I agree that users do need to know that these protections are not the same as the strong, encryption-enforced protection that is achieved solely by the "Save with Password" option when saving documents. It would help were the interface arranged in such a way that the setting of protections is not a document-security measure and the setting of protections is more for prevention of accidents than any strong preservation of document integrity. If there is any way to prevent future vulnerabiities against the passwords themselves (a genuine security issue) and to provide some security-enforced protection of certain content and settings, that needs to be dealt with by new approaches. Other issues shold be raised for that. The ODF format and the use of password-digests as protection authenticators in that format is not now amenable to any other approach. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

text: Biodiversity Eastern NC Is A Global Biodiversity Hotspot By Dave DeWitt • Feb 25, 2016 The Nature Conservancy Eastern North Carolina is a part of one of the most ecologically diverse locations on the planet. But because of human activity, it is also one of the most threatened. Thanks to those two factors, the entire North American Coastal Plain – stretching from Cape Cod to northern Mexico - has been designated as one of three-dozen global biodiversity hotspots. Can You Guess How Many Ant Species Live On Broadway? [NC State Study] By WUNC News • Nov 13, 2014 Adrian Smith A new study out of North Carolina State University suggests there's a remarkably high diversity in the types of ants found in cities. Published in the journal Insect Conservation and Diversity, the paper looks at different environments along Broadway Avenue in Manhattan. Researchers found more than 20 different species of ants in the median of the road alone. They found more than 20 other species in the surrounding parks and urban forests. Rain Forest Diversity By Meghan Modafferi & Frank Stasio • May 29, 2014 North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences Listen Listening... / 19:22 Scientist discuss rain forest diversity and conservation Rain forests are home to an incredible variety of species. From cute olinguitos to slimy spittlebugs, scientists are discovering creatures all the time. The exhibit "Rainforest Adventure" at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences educates kids on rain forest diversity and conservation. Duke Study: Salt Marshes Depend On Crabs, Snails And Fungus For Preservation By Eric Hodge • Dec 26, 2013 Rob Bixby / RobBixbyPhotography, Flickr Creative Commons A new study from Duke University shows the importance of maintaining key species to support biodiversity. Researchers manipulated the populations of crabs, snails and fungus in a salt marsh in Georgia. Brian Silliman is an associate professor of marine conservation biology at Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment. He says each species provides an important function in preserving the marsh.

It have been 4 months since my holiday to Japan. It was a 2 week trip and Takayama was one of my destinations . Me and my friends took a higashiyama walking course which connect all major sights of this small town. There're temples and shrines along the route. All of them are connected so we didn't spend much time on the main walkway. We got a bit lost and walked past this stairs which leaded to the big graveyard behind a temple. I like how the man-made things and nature seemed to merge together here , and how the various kind of lovely plants and flowers were gathered under the pine trees.
Tools : Winsor&Newton Watercolors / Sakura Poster Colors / Sekai Watercolor Brushes / Canson Montval Watercolor paper (300gsm.)
This is awesome!
I've been to Takayama, and this is just lovely. Your skills with watercolors are astounding!

T. Vaughan (1991) Discussions about how physical environments impact student learning often center on the layout and placement of classrooms. In the law clinic context, these discussions also focus on the design of clinic office spaces. Much less attention has been paid to how clinical faculty members can (and do) use their own offices to create physical spaces that advance clinical learning goals and pedagogy. This poster presentation shows how clinical faculty members are turning their faculty offices into collaborative and motivational learning spaces by paying attention to the design and decoration of their offices. 2016-04-30T00:00:00Z Defaming the Dead http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/118195 Defaming the Dead Herzog, Don 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z Campbell at 21/Sony at 31 http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/112017 Campbell at 21/Sony at 31 Litman, Jessica When copyright lawyers gather to discuss fair use, the most common refrain is its alarming expansion. Their distress about fair use's enlarged footprint seems completely untethered from any appreciation of the remarkable increase in exclusive copyright rights. In the nearly forty years since Congress enacted the 1976 copyright act, the rights of copyright owners have expanded markedly. Copyright owners' demands for further expansion continue unabated. Meanwhile, they raise strident objections to proposals to add new privileges and exceptions to the statute to shelter non-infringing uses that might be implicated by their expanded rights. Copyright owners have used the resulting uncertainty over the scope of liability for new uses to litigate some new businesses into bankruptcy before their legality could be determined. These developments push fair use to shelter new uses and users. When lawyers for copyright owners complain that fair use has stretched beyond their expectations, they fail to acknowledge their own responsibility for its growth. This Article takes up these questions with particular attention to the thirty-one-year-old decision in Sony v. Universal Studios, and Congress's assumptions about individual and contributory liability for personal copying before and after the Sony case. 2015-06-27T00:00:00Z Silent Similarity http://hdl.handle.net/2027.42/111048 Silent Similarity Litman, Jessica From 1909 to 1930, U.S. courts grappled with claims by authors of prose works claiming that works in a new art form—silent movies—had infringed their copyrights. These cases laid the groundwork for much of modern copyright law, from their broad expansion of the reproduction right, to their puzzled grappling with the question how to compare works in dissimilar media, to their confusion over what sort of evidence should be relevant to show copyrightability, copying and infringement. Some of those cases—in particular, Nichols v. Universal Pictures—are canonical today. They are not, however, well-understood. In particular, the problem at the heart of most of these cases—how to imagine a work consisting entirely of pictures as infringing a work made entirely of words—has largely vanished from our consciousness. A better understanding of these early cases casts into clearer light copyright doctrines and practices we take for granted today. 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z

Surgeons in Arizona saved the eye of an 86-year-old man whose skull was impaled with pruning shears in a backyard accident
Updated at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday: LeRoy Luetscher, 86, told KOLD-TV in Arizona that the pain was "excruciating. It was just . . . I can't tell you how much it hurt."
Half the shears was left in his head, while the other half was sticking out, he said.
"When I felt up there, I sort of pulled on it just a little bit and it seemed real solid so I just left it alone, and realized that it was the clipper," he told KOLD.
Arpy Williams, Luetscher's "significant other," said she was shocked when she saw him.
"There was just blood all over, but anyway, I saw this instrument in his face and I just said, 'LeRoy, honey, what have you done?' "
Original post, filed Tuesday by Doug Stanglin: Surgeons in Arizona saved the eye of an 86-year-old man whose skull was impaled with pruning shears in a backyard accident, the Arizona Daily Star reports.
A spokesperson for University Medical Center in Tucson says Leroy Luetscher was working in his yard when he dropped the hand pruners, which landed point-side up.
As Luetscher bent down to retrieve them, he lost his balace and fell face-down on the handle.
"You wouldn't believe your eyes," says Julie Wynne, assistant professor in the UA's Department of Surgery, in a UMC news release, according to the newspaper.
Surgeons at UMC removed the gardening tool, rebuilt his orbital floor with metal mesh and saved Luetscher's eye, the spokeswoman says.
Four weeks after the surgery, Luetscher has slight swelling and minor damage to the affected eye, UMC says, according to the newspaper.
