Rabbi Birdie Becker: Biography
Ordained through the Academy for Jewish Religion, California (AJR-CA), Becker holds Master degrees in Education, Social Work, and Rabbinic Studies and a doctorate in Education. Privately mentored and conferred as cantor, she served as cantor for congregations across Colorado including Temple Emanuel (Pueblo), where she now serves as rabbi.
A long-time Jewish educator, she teaches children and adults in religious schools, private tutoring and b'nai mitzvah studies and has been an innovator for community and adult education classes. She is a Storahteller Maven (a knowledgeable person who seeks to educate) and serves as president of the Rocky Mountain Cantors Association. Birdie was honored by Denver B'nai Brith for 12 years of administrative service.
In addition to extensive service to the Jewish community, Birdie has a prolific career in the performing arts. As cellist for the violin-cello duo "Apples and Honey", she performs throughout the Rocky Mountain region. A dance teacher for 18 years, she danced with the Shelhevet Performance Troupe of Cleveland, the Denver Shibolem Israeli Folk Dance Ensemble, and has choreographed and performed for musical theater throughout the Midwest and Rocky Mountain Regions. Composer and performer of folk and liturgical music, she writes short stories and is the author of Conversations at the Well: Where Modern Life and Ancient Stories Meet.
As a medical social worker, she is experienced in hospice and psychiatric social work. Becker also served as Ohio State Consultant for Volunteer Services. Certified in Genetics and Infertility, she spent over eleven years in reproductive health, and served as director of an outpatient medical-surgical clinic.
Married to Dr. Jeffrey Becker (dermatologist) since 1976, Rabbi Birdie beams most when speaking of their two adult children, Jacob and Rachel.

I've been a fan of detective novels and murder mysteries for
years, from Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler to Patricia Cornwell and
Jeffery Deaver but in all those years, I'd never had the opportunity to read
one before publication.
Until now.
Sox fan Jere Smith (of Red Sox Fan From Pinstripe Territory) provided a number of his fellow bloggers with advanced
copies of Dirty Water, a novel he co-authored with Mary Ann Tirone-Smith, with
a request that we write a review, so here goes.
Set against the backdrop of last year's pennant race, the novel exposes the
murky world of avaricious sports agents and the even deadlier world of
An infant is abandoned in the Red Sox club house early on game day. The baby's
unfortunate young mother is discovered murdered in the Back Bay Fens in sight of Fenway
Park. A young ball player goes
missing. The Boston PD enlist the aid of the blogging community to help unravel
the mystery.
The plot skilfully blends real-world characters (David Ortiz, Jason Varitek)
and places in Boston, barely-disguised blog commenters (sadly not including
your Antipodean correspondent) and entirely fictional characters (Rocky Patel
the Gujarati Boston PD detective and the Mexican-American family at the centre
of the mystery).
As you may have gathered, I really enjoyed the read and would recommend it to anyone. I've already decided that my next pilgrimage to Fenway
Park might well include a stay at
the Edgerly Road B&B (the Oasis Guest House if I'm not mistaken).
The book's official publication date is September 1st in the
US. God knows when
it'll be available in New Zealand!
Dirty Water by Mary Ann TironeSmith and
Jere Smith is published by Hall of Fame Press. ISBN: 978-09776240-2-7

On an entirely personal note, I found reading a pre-publication
bound galley proof interesting. While I was out of work a couple of years ago,
I took a course in proofreading and I found myself spotting some things which I
hope don't make it into print (the reference to square acres and the inversion
of the West Coast/East Coast time difference: lunchtime in Boston isn't late
afternoon in LA).

- Incumbent congressman hasn't held a true town hall meeting for 6 years -
Citing the many economic and foreign policy problems facing our nation, First Congressional District Republican candidate Jim Hagedorn today challenged DFL incumbent Tim Walz to hold a series of town hall meetings to hear firsthand the concerns of First District voters.
"From the deteriorating agricultural economy, to the scandalous treatment of our veterans by the VA, to the out-of-control illegal immigration, to the nuclear agreement with Iran, to the new EPA regulations afflicting farmers, to the travesty of Planned Parenthood harvesting organs of aborted babies, it's time for Tim Walz to meet with his constituents, listen to their concerns and explain why his votes on the key issues match those of his urban Twin Cities colleagues and are at odds with the views and values of First District voters," said Hagedorn.
While many members of congress use the traditional August recess to stay-in-touch with constituents, Walz has failed to hold an open-discussion town hall meeting since 2009, when he received harsh criticism for his unwavering support of Obamacare.
"Now is the time for Walz to be crisscrossing the First District, visiting county fairs, attending community celebrations, meeting with farmers and small business owners and, yes, explaining his votes at town hall forums across southern Minnesota. Other than a quick in-and-out appearance at Farmfest, 'Twin Cities Tim' is absent and lists no town hall meetings on his congressional web page, has issued no press releases announcing his availability and continues to turn a blind eye to First District families," stated Hagedorn.
"My liberal opponent's handlers have him in virtual 'political witness protection,' being shielded from angry constituents who want Walz to explain support for Democrat policy failures like the stagnant U.S. economy, Obamacare, massive welfare, open borders and weakness towards radical Islam, both home and abroad," said Hagedorn.
"In 2006 Tim Walz ran on a slogan: He's One of Us. But after a decade in Washington, D.C. Tim's out-of-touch and won't even talk with us. What's the difference between Waldo and Walz(do)? It's actually possible for southern Minnesotans to find Waldo," Hagedorn joked.

text: Sombre, ecclectic slasher flick soundtrack type stuff from Baldruin with Im Delirium on Wounded Knife. And to be more precise, this isn't for the part of the slasher movie where people get hacked to bits. It's for that moment right after, when their friends rush into the room, find them in pieces and share a tearful macabre final moment. It feels like the after effect of terror, or maybe the space around it, but not "it" exactly. And I think to achieve something like that, it's about choosing the right elements to include, and to leave. This feels a lot that way. The absence of a single dominant piece where the listener navigates the soundscape their engagement acting as that element. Sparse notes, understated horns, chimes, soft mumbles, all underpinned by solid, heartbreaking melody. Creepy cool.Edition of 50, incredible b/w eight panel double sided jcard. Prison shells with a single circular adhesive denoting the front side. I've gotten my hands on a few Wounded Knife tapes, and the design execution just keeps getting better.

Know what's irritating?
When people assume that I wanna lose weight to be healthy.
I got news for those people… thin and healthy aren't the same thing.
If I wanted to be healthy, I'd start an exercise plan that was just a little more cardio than weight lifting. I'd also eat whole grains, fruits, veg, and never eat processed food again. I'd give up Coca-Cola, Monster, Coffee, and Tea so I could trade them all in for water. I'd throw away my scale at home and probably also my microwave and TV for good measure. I may or may not cut out all meat that isn't white fish. That's being healthy.
I don't want to be healthy. I don't wanna run a 5k. I don't wanna be toned or strong or anything like that. I just want to be thin. I want to be the same piece of shit human being that I am, that watches anime on the sofa and refuses to leave the house except for work, but the thin version.
I know lots of thin people that aren't healthy, without even mentioning the extremes of anorexia and bulimia. They can't run. They get winded going up stairs. They eat McDonald's a lot. I know lots of vegans and vegetarians that aren't healthy or thin because they eat a lot of fried food. I know a number of healthy people that can outrun you, but aren't thin.
My point is… I DON'T WANNA BE HEALTHY, I JUST WANT TO BE THIN.
This bothers me for a number of a reasons, but the biggest one is a dear friend of mine. Being naturally thin most of their lives, this person didn't really know what to do when they reached a point in their lives where they gained weight. They were depressed. They were upset. They thought about giving up on life, because life was already really hard, and then there was the weight. I know that feel, but having been fat more or less my entire life, I couldn't help but feel that they were being a BIT over-dramatic.
If you want to lose weight, and that's your biggest goal, I can tell you which diet will fit your life style and give you the results you want. I really can. I know that sounds stupid, because I'm a great big fat person, but I've been on ALL THE DIETS and I know what works.
So this person, at one point, was happiest being really fit. They also don't have great cooking skills, but don't mind eating things that aren't really a "meal" as much as it's just food. They didn't want to join a gym, but I knew that once they started seeing results they would be motivated to keep a routine up. So, I told them to try the 21 Day Fix by Beach Body.
If you don't know, the 21 Day Fix is a great program. You get containers. You put stuff in those containers. That's what you get to eat that day. You also do a 30 min workout each day in your living room. You WILL lose weight. It's very simple to do. It's a little pricey to start, because you have to buy the containers, eating plan, and workout video, but after that you're good. Also, if you add Shakology to your meal plan, I hear it can increase your results. It's an easy, effective plan for people that like feeling fit.
The down side to the 21 Day Fix, and the reason I don't do it, is because I'm a lazy fuck that likes to cook. Now, you can totally take the ingredients in the containers and make them into meals, but it requires a lot of planning. Also, even if you're making meals, at some point it's gonna get repetitive. That can be good, because studies show that if you eat the same thing all the time your body starts to use it more efficiently than if you change food everyday… but I like variety. Also, I'm not a great self-motivator. You want me to workout for 30 mins a day? Unless you're going to be there convincing me to do it… I'm prolly gonna let that DVD collect dust. I just don't like to workout. I find it mindless and boring. Plus, I'm just a lazy fuck. I like to do things that let me lie down. Reading, TV, drawing… all activities I can do laying down.
Here's the thing, though. I get that people feel superior to me because I'm a Fatty McFatFace, but when I am the one that told you about your wonderful new life style, you don't get talk down to me. This friend does that more than they probably realize. I don't think it's on purpose, but it bothers the shit out of me. I have weird health problems, and I'm overweight, but those aren't actually related. So snide comments about how great your health is because on Beach Body you eat so much veg and ingest the multivitamin comparable Shakology… that shit is unappreciated. It's especially unappreciated since it's not like I'm over here binge eating take out.
In recent weeks I've put forth more effort into losing weight than I've put out in a long long time. I'm on a caloric restriction. I'm eating well-rounded vegetable centric meals. I've all but kicked meat. I'm walking 8-10k steps a day, which is roughly 5 miles. I've done all the math, and I SHOULD be losing weight. Instead, I'm gaining weight, and I feel like shit every single day. My body hurts. I'm tired. My moods are off the charts. It's shitty.
Why am I gaining weight? Fuck, I don't know.
If you ask anyone that hasn't been a career dieter, they will spout off that shit about your body going into "starvation mode." Here's the thing about starvation mode… It's a luxury your body can only do, if you're eating enough that it CAN save calories.
So if you're 135 lbs… your caloric expenditure just to live is roughly 1600. That's getting up, going to a desk job, and doing nothing for exercise. So if you don't exercise and you eat more than 1600 cals consistently, you'll slowly gain weight. If you eat 2000 cals and run for like… 30-45 mins a day, you'll prolly stay about the same weight. If you're gaining weight and you notice you're eating a 2000 calorie diet at 135 lbs and drop to the usually recommended 1600-1800 cals a day, you're not gonna lose weight, and it's not because of "starvation mode." Your body WILL start a diet here by trying to run you the most efficiently, meaning it decreases metabolism and reduces your living caloric expenditure as best it can… and once it realizes that you're not gonna starve to death it'll kick back up and adjust to the small change. You can help this with a fluctuating caloric intake ranging from 1400-1800 cals a day, instead of an even keel 1600, because it assures your non-sentient systems that you're not dying.
I used 135 lbs because it's my white whale goal weight.
Because it's my weight goal, I try to live at what I would live at if I ever achieved that goal. It's not an approved diet method, but it makes sense that if I wanna be 135 lbs, I should just live like I am 135 lbs, and my body will have to follow suit.
So… I happen to be roughly 270 lbs at any given time, as of late (and yes, I hate myself for it). I use roughly 2650 cals just living. This means that on a regular 2000 cal diet, I should lose some weight even if I don't get out of bed. I'm on a roughly 1200-1600 cal diet and I've upped my caloric expenditure by walking. Even if my walking is a CRAWL, I'm burning 3430 cals, roughly, a day, and taking in 1200-1600 cals a day. That's a HUGE deficit. I SHOULD be losing. Even if all my cals were comprised of ice cream and lard from a tub, I should be losing. If my body were to shut down my systems to the bare minimum, I should still be losing SOME weight.
Click here for the site I use for weight loss expenditure.
So… why am I not gaining weight? I'm eating less, I'm exercising more. Is it water weight? It's not muscle build. I have no idea. Why do I feel like shit? Am I really just so out of shape that leisurely walking is killing me? I don't think so, but maybe… but at two weeks of this, I should start feeling better. I don't. Am I just not up on my nutrition? I think I am. I even made a conscious effort to ingest more potassium, because I know it's recommended for achy muscles.
If anyone has an idea, please let me know.
Seriously, though… if you have a fat friend… stop being a passive dickwad to them just because they don't live like you. If it was so easy for everyone to be thin or healthy, we would be.
Also if you have a thin friend, and you're NOT thin… don't be a passive dickwad to them, either. It's just as hard for some people to gain weight as it is for me to lose it. Thin people are unhappy, too. Don't make comments about it.

Michele has been my Pilates trainer for over a year now. Since working with her weekly, I have now regained the body I longed for after having three children. I am lean, happy, and feel strong and healthy. Her expertise regarding the body's structures is incredible. With each session I find myself more and more impressed with how easily she can alter the program to accommodate my particular needs of the day, and the results are truly amazing. She can motivate you beyond your own expectations but still never seems too demanding. I actually enjoy working with her immensely. All the compliments I get now are not too bad either! Give it a try with her, you will not be disappointed.

I recently received a trove of photographs from the performance of Burial at the Frye Art Museum last September. These are just a few of the great moments that photographer John Ulmann captured that wonderful night. Just click the picture for the gallery.
Burial II is taking baby steps toward being fully underway. I'm learning new techniques and working with new materials, teaching myself new ways of looking at garments, doing a lot of research and a fair amount of writing. I'm at the"fumbling my way into the work stage", which is frustrating but necessary. The beginning of the year is always a good time for me to get good work done, and I plan to hit 2015 like a meteor, so a bit of fumbling is fine for this lovely December.

Mike Peters 1947 – 2015
We are very sad to have to report the loss of our friend and comrade, Mike Peters, who died of heart failure on the morning of Wednesday, 3rd June. Mike had been a member of the Leeds Surrealist Group since 2005, but a long-time conspirator and fellow traveller before then; indeed, since our group was formed in 1994. Some of us knew him as an editor of and contributor to the influential Here & Now magazine; others as students at the institution in whose side he had been a thorn; and still others simply as a welcome critical presence in the political life of those radical milieus growing up outside Socialist or Anarchist orthodoxies.
A man whose creativity was rarely burdened by convention, Mike could always be relied upon to approach Surrealism as something grounded as much in humour as in poetic and intellectual enquiry. Indeed, despite occasionally doing battle with his own black dogs, he was the most stridently anti-miserablist of us all.
For a couple of years after joining the group, Mike would complain that he was unable to encounter 'found objects'. One day, for reasons never elaborated, the dam burst and our meetings became coves where vast quantities of flotsam would collect after drifting in on Mike's tide. Many of these objects would result in fascinating processes of collective enquiry, whilst others would exert a glamour upon him so mysteriously subjective that it would be almost impossible for the rest of us to penetrate. It is pleasing to think of the mixture of pride and child-like wonder that characterised him in this period, and the particular joyous and very honest vulnerability that Mike would bring to the group, challenging the rest of us to meet it. Yet, even in the context of such generosity, we all of us should have liked decades more in which to further appreciate the complex aggregation of compulsions, desires, plans, and peccadilloes of which our friend was composed.

Dunn's river falls (left to right) Fardina, Bianca, Laura, Susan
Since my last update a lot has occurred. We took our exam, started developing and testing our questions for our research project, went to Dunn's River Falls, did some shopping in Ocho Rios, and went snorkeling in Rio Bueno. Our research project is the thing that weighs heavily on most of our minds these days.
Me snorkeling at Rio Bueno (photo credit: Brooke)
Bianca and I started our project thinking we were going to be studying Damsel fish aggression towards other species. We tried several different methods of measuring and observing in the lab but nothing was working for us. After many attempts and many failures we decided to take our research and do a 180. We have now decided to look at sea urchins, Tripneustes ventricosus and Lytechinus variegatus, and what they prefer to cover themselves with.
First trial of our project. Tripneustes ventricosus is covering itself with Udotea flabellum, leaves, and turtle grass.
We took samples from the mangrove area of the bay and also samples from the turtle grass area closer to the reef crest. Within the first 24 hours of developing our question and collecting our samples we had already done four trials with some interesting results. Today we started our field observations, Bianca in the mangroves and me out near the reef crest. Swimming out there was difficult because I was swimming against the current and the water was very choppy. I am slowly being able to manage a camera and a clipboard while writing down what I see. We only have a few days left here and we still have many more tests to run and soon we will be working on our final presentation. Hopefully we will have some success with our project and get home safely at the end of the week.

As we develop personal relationships with each of our residents, we learn how to best accommodate each member of our home in order to promote health and well-being. We strive to provide support and assistance to residents of our Garland Home "family."
We at the Garland Home understand the value and meaning of family, and are proud to promote "family" within the staff as well.

We acknowledge everyone on our team brings certain skills and talents that allow for us to have a well-rounded, supportive team.

At the Garland Home, we are building our foundation for assisted living on quality and trust.
It is our goal to make the Garland Home feel as if it is a "home away from home." By providing compassionate care to our residents we aim to:

i'm happy to introduce a new weekly installment to howd.i.y. – we are going to call it "handmade find friday."
these regular posts will feature new handcrafted goods that i've recently added to my collection. it might be jewelry, home decor, stationary, etc… whatever it is – it's probably something i purchased on etsy, at a market or from some other local gem with limited production.
this week i want to bring attention to my new bolo-necklace. i'm obsessed with it.
i'd been set on the thought of getting a bolo necklace for ages now. i'd had a few bolo ties in the past, but always something trendy with a leather or fabric cord and only suited to particular outfits (i was especially into them 20 years ago back in jr. high school… they were actually a bit frightening. i'll see if i can dig up some photos).
this time around i knew i wanted something brassy gold and a bit timeless. i had spent months searching on etsy and then alas… one day i found CheyneByPaige. she had one nearly identical to what i'd been looking for. i contacted her and asked her if it would be possible to make a few changes to the chain… she could. and then voila, there was the perfect bolo-necklace! it's a brass triangle with a long brass chain woven throughout it and dangling for inches (photo + link below).
(bolo backstory: while embarrasing to admit, i also saw a necklace similar to this one on bravo's reality soap "gallery girls" – a show full of overly dramatic twentysomethings with not-so dramatic problems. claudia, one of the artsy hipster "brooklyn girls" (as opposed to the show's preppy "manhattan girls") was wearing a bolo tie in an episode. turns out it was marketing for their shop end of century. i had a look on the website and there's one very similar to it for $396.).
i'm now even thinking about adding a few new bolo additions to everybutton… pending i find the perfect buttons for the job. stay tuned on that…
anyway – back to my beloved brass bolo tie necklace. here is what paige came up with:
"the pippin" brass bolo tie necklace by CheynebyPaige
$50 on etsy
a headless me – modeling my new bolo tie necklace…
thanks for joining us for our first handmade find friday. have a wonderful weekend doing something stressfree, creative and fun!

Crab's Inhumanity to Robots
Hi! This was for a book of New Zealand sci-fi and fantasy art called White Cloud Worlds. It just came out and I reckon it's pretty neat.
You can check the book out here or look at a process animation for this piece here. You could do both if you are really good at the internet! Or bored!

Sun Protection
Sun protection is essential to skin cancer prevention – about 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers and about 86 percent of melanomas are associated with exposure to UV radiation from the sun. Learn how to protect yourself to stay safe.
For Your Eyes
Over time, the sun's rays can seriously damage the eyes and surrounding skin.
Babies and children are extra sensitive to the sun, and protecting their skin is paramount.
Applying sunscreen daily is one simple step you can take towards being sun safe.
Clothing is our first line of defense against the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
Prevention Guidelines
We recommended using a sunscreen with an SPF 15 or higher.
'Good' shade can block UV rays, but not all shade is equally protective.

Today in my kitchen I was looking through recipe idea's I put together and came across this…"Bacon cupcakes w/ Banana Buttercream topped w/ Peanut Butter drizzle + Chocolate Ganache" I couldn't think of a better recipe to 'TEST' bake; in WinniE's Bakery kitchen, today.
When it comes to recipes, I draw inspiration from everywhere. I could eat something that I cooked myself or had a restaurant, I could think of something that my Nana used to make for me when I was a child or I could see something on TV; it really can come from anywhere at any time. I always try keep my notebook with me. As of right now, I am deeply inspired by everything that's happening around me, that's the magic of SPRING! It's rebirth, regrowth and renewal, I am so grateful for spring. Remember now, I am in April baby. So, currently I'm writing about 1-2 recipes everyday, sometimes even 3. I hope I didn't just jinx it!

Eyes. Beady black eyes looked back at her from the corner, hidden by shadows. She picked up a rock and aimed. A high squeak and a long thin tail slipped out of sight. There was no one outside tonight—save for her and the rats. She was thankful for that. There was no one to call her names. The grass was dying around her—bidding its final farewells, knowing the weeds, finding no opposition, would soon own the small patch stuck between rivers of concrete and rows of numbered doors. The little girl toyed with a broken bottle beside her, not realizing she had cut her hand until the blood had dripped down to her wrist. The redness falling from her hand to the ground seemed to signal the sky above, and the first drops struck the earth around her—a soft warning before the pummeling began.
126. 127. 128. She stood in front of the door, already soaked through, hair wringing wet. Her clothes clung to her as though frightened. As she stood, the doorknob seemed to grow fangs, but the sky was still roaring, and the rain was thrashing about, hurting her, burning, taking the air—
The door was open before she felt the touch of it on her hand, and she was standing in the dry. The room was dim—the dull glow from the open doorway behind her meeting scarce amounts of light seeping through the heavy clouds and the slim crack between the hotel curtains. Barely enough light to see the peeling paint on the wall beside her. The sound of the rain pounding at the outside world was static in her ears—a background to set the room against, the sounds coming from within.
She could see motion, silhouettes against the darkness, cast in shadows. Slimy shadows and an animal's grunt, hard and deepened by the pitch of the rain.
Eyes lit by the darkness. The bed shifted like settling sand, and she could almost see the color in her mother's eyes—brown like the dying grass outside the building. The grunts stopped for a moment, caught in the sticky silence. Spider's web.
Trapped. Frozen.
Her mother rolled onto the floor, grasping at blankets to cover her naked body. A shadow sat up straight. Spoke with a smoker's rasp. Angry. Her mother's voice cooing from somewhere far away—too distant to distinguish between softness and anger.
The girl stepped toward the corner, exposing the light from the doorway to the man's face. It was tough and scarred and housed two eyes as unfeeling as the rain—but with a malice unique to humans. God, those eyes, like ones she had seen before. Another man. But just like him.
Fear tore into her. Legs moving, running. Crunch of grass beneath her feet. The rain was hushed, but the rattling voice against her ears was loud. "You dumb bitch! Not a dime of my money! Not a penny!" Footsteps behind her. Light rhythm of bare feet. She didn't feel the road bite her knees, and she couldn't tell if the salty water on her cheeks was made of tears or just the rain. Her head struck unforgiving asphalt, and the grayness surrounding her turned black.
The world was pulsing. A gentle beat struck the chair she sat in. The desk across the room toppled, the mattress leapt from its frame, and the phone hurled itself at the mirror, scattering shards throughout the carpet.
Her body ached. Her skin was perfumed with the scent of rain, and her mind tumbled through darkness, water cascading from the sky above, down the walls, down her mother's face.
She sat in the floor, knees pulled into her chest. Weariness and blotchy red eyes conquered her features, and she was humming some old song that her daughter had never heard. They seemed to wake together—one from sleep, one from sorrow—and she was in her mother's arms in an instant, asking what had happened.
"You ran out in the road. Fell and hit your head. But you're ok."
"What about the room? Why is it broken?"
"A mean man got mad and broke it. He said he'd be back tomorrow so we gotta go."
"Was it the man in here last night? The one who was yelling?"
Her mother turned her head away. "Get your teddy bear."
"But I don't wanna leave. This place is nice. The water's clear, and the men don't…" Grubby hands. Filthy hands.
Screams. "This place is nice."
"I know, baby, but we gotta go."
"What about the police? Remember a long time ago? The woman with two different shoes? She said the police help people in trouble. She said her husband was a police—before he got shot. She said the police are the good guys."
"Baby, we can't."
"But they're the good guys, and we're the good guys. Right?" Her big brown eyes sought answers in her mother's, but they found nothing but despondency. "Right, Mommy?"
Her mother couldn't help but hesitate. Finally, she found a smile, though her tearful frown did find a way into her words.
"You remember how to hold your hand, don't you? That's it, thumb way up."
The woman closed door 128 behind her and, as the day staggered on, took her daughter's hand and led her to the next circle of Hell.
Eyes. Beady black eyes looked back at her from the corner, hidden by shadows. She picked up a rock and aimed. A high squeak and a long thin tail slipped out of sight. There was no one outside tonight—save for her and the rats. She was thankful for that. There was no one to call her names. The grass was dying around her—bidding its final farewells, knowing the weeds, finding no opposition, would soon own the small patch stuck between rivers of concrete and rows of numbered doors. The little girl toyed with a broken bottle beside her, not realizing she had cut her hand until the blood had dripped down to her wrist.

a place for social media and community management professionals
Our aim is to be the place social media and community management professionals come to learn, discover and grow.
We'll provide insight and analysis on the industry in the form of custom Australian and New Zealand research studies and daily news briefs.
We'll host the kind of workshops and conferences you actually learn from, not those filled with 'thought leaders' or people with no practical experience.
We're also looking at other issues in our industry – like how freelancers can connect with brands looking for a great professional.

Quick note: I read Scarlet by AC Gaughen and while I have my critiques, it was fun and a very fast read. Highly recommend!
Why can't I write what I want to write when I want to write it? More on that later?
On the upside, being back involved in social media for writing stuff has been fun. Contests! ARC giveaways! Fun stuff! also, I love #1k1hr on Twitter and #yalitchat even though I fell asleep.
On that front, I found this via Twitter and was immediately intrigued. I hadn't heard of BLOOD MAGIC or BLOOD KEEPER before, but now I want to read them badly!
Intriguing concept. Blood as a conduit of magic is a concept that's been around for a LONG time. But Tessa Gratton turns it into an action packed urban fantasy and urban fantasy is quickly turning into my new drug (I just finished WHITE CAT by Holly Black. A-may-zing.).
Now the sequel's out and it sounds just as powerful.
I have this thing about covers. I will, absolutely, judge a book by its cover. Sorry, I do it. I think covers are incredibly important. This cover is awesome. It tells me that this is an urban fantasy with twist, something to do with nature and things that become uncovered (literally or metaphorically, I don't know), I love the compass rose (and, reading the summary again, I GET IT. ROSES. HA. I like!!), and I LOVE THE FONT. I think Tessa's name gets lost a bit, but the title font is magnificent.
So yes, go enter the contest. Maybe you'll win. Maybe I'll win. EITHER WAY, people, this is on my to read list.
My to read list this weekend though is:
(Finish reading) The Doomsday Book
Black Out
All Clear
Tell The Wolves I Am Home (this book sounds absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to dig my teeth into it)
What are you reading this weekend?

Rush University Medical Center
Business Drivers
- Provide the best possible care for its patients
- Ensure its employees and patients are safe
- Deploy a single, enterprise-based and future-proof security management system
- Manage, monitor and restrict access to specific areas instead of relying upon a physical key to get the job done
Key Highlights
- Five years ago, Rush University Medical Center embarked on an overhaul of its security systems to deploy a truly future-proofed integrated access control and video system using C•CURE from Software House as its foundation.
- They recently enhanced their access control system to the latest Software House solution, C•CURE 9000, for campus doors and general public areas.
The hospital's downtown campus spans four city blocks and encompasses 20 buildings, presenting some unique challenges for security personnel. At the same time, the security department recognizes that its work plays a pivotal role relating to the hospital's reputation as a leading and safe medical facility, as well as maintaining an open environment for patients and visitors.
Recognizing the important function security plays in the hospital environment, Rush University Medical Center began implementing several significant changes to the hospital's security system. It turned to Software House C•CURE solutions as the foundation for its enterprise access control system. The scalable system enabled the hospital to grow from the inside out by allowing the security department to initially focus on specific departments and areas of the hospital that required access control, such as the pharmacy, Labor & Delivery and the IT department, before taking the next step to incorporate other areas of the facility.
With C•CURE as the foundation for its access control needs, Rush University Medical Center could begin to incorporate other areas of the hospital into its overall, comprehensive security plan. That includes storage areas, food service areas and adding employee access points at several entrances along the perimeter of the building. Previously, at night employees had a single access point into the building which could require an employee to walk several city blocks late at night from the bus stop to the only approved access point in the facility. The most significant changes taking place at Rush University Medical Center is the recent introduction of a lock-down feature to provide greater security in emergency situations, such as if a gunman is reported near the hospital. Previously hospital security officers had to manually lock down each perimeter door. Now, with C•CURE, the system offers a single emergency button and, with one push, security personnel can lock many doors at one time.

What are clients saying?
I'm a professional golfer and I was looking for ways to get more energy and stamina. I worked with Stacey (via Skype) and honestly, I was surprised at how the tweaks she made to my lifestyle worked! I was a little resistant to all of these "healthy" foods, so I decided to first just get my feet wet by adjusting my breakfast and lunch. I ate everything Stacey suggested – she had a different plan for tournament and rest days. By following her advice, I was able to maintain a level state of energy throughout the day and I had more energy during my tournaments! As an added bonus, I lost some weight and got rid of my heartburn. Now, I look forward to the possibilities of being healthier in the future.
Stacey changed my life. I've always been a runner, but as I got older, I started having a lot of hip pain so I had to stop. I also had horrible digestive issues and even had to have my gallbladder removed, and this created more digestive issues. I was really feeling old and unhealthy. I really thought I had tried everything – I wish I had gone to Stacey first. Stacey changed my diet. It's funny, because I was following my doctor's advice and I really thought I was eating healthy, but with just a few of Stacey's changes, my digestion started to run smoothly – no more having to know where every bathroom was at all times! Then, we worked on my inflammation; now I'm running again. It sound hokey, but Stacey really changed my life and I am forever grateful.
My mom talked me into seeing Stacey. I was hesitant at first because I was in my early 20s and I was afraid she was going to make me change my lifestyle a little too much. I had been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and my life had become really hard, so I agreed to meet with Stacey. After only three weeks, my digestion was great. And, I lost weight! Now, while I'm not perfect, Stacey's ways have become my new lifestyle and I know that if I start to cheat too much and I feel poorly again, I can always come back to what Stacey taught me and I can heal myself.
I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and I was worried about it because of my bad family medical history. The doctor placed me on cholesterol medication. This made Stacey crazy. She talked me into eating only what she told me to eat for 6 weeks. Because I'm her husband, she told me to go off of the medication for this 6 weeks and to then get another blood test. (I know that normally, she won't tell people to go off of any medications prescribed by a doctor.) I love a good experiment, but I didn't really expect the great results that followed. At the end of the 6 weeks, I was re-tested and my bad cholesterol went down 30 points and my good cholesterol went up 40 points. And this was after only 6 weeks! She can be a pain in the butt sometimes, but she knows what she's doing…
Stacey, I did all three things that you told me to do this week when I had my free phone consultation. I am feeling so much better and I'm walking better with no pain in my legs! What can I say, but that you are amazing and I thank you so much.

Taking Profits, Cutting Losses
New England Patriots in Rematch with New York Giants
The New York football Giants beat a very good San Francisco team that made two major fumble errors in the game. The New England Patriots overcame numerous mistakes as the Baltimore Ravens missed a game tying field goal at the end of regulation.
And now it's the big Superbowl rematch. Just unreal.
Taking Profits, Cutting Losses
Last Tuesday I bought some stocks after screening and things were looking good overall coming into Monday. I closed all four positions today for various reasons. Two will highlight in tonight's blog. The other two were INTU (+1.2%) and ANSS (+4%). Nothing wrong with either name and I will revisit INTU for long term account, just grabbing some profits.
I had high hopes for the position in NXTM. Friday the stock was hit and this morning it started off ugly and went down fast from there. Having stops in place is always important and I was stopped out fast at around $18 for a -1.1% loss on the trade. It got worse from there with a big drop all day long. The move down retraced most of the good move up I was seeing. While it has not violated the hammer print on 1/12/12 there are many names moving well now and I saw no reason to hang around on this one:
My last trade was CRESY and this one really worked out well. Traded to plan and expectations. Have to love when that happens!:
Overall, markets needed a break today and I may stay in cash until I see what Boom Boom Bernanke has to say on Wednesday. There is also AAPL earnings tomorrow that can really affect things. Overall 2012 has been way more constructive than the last months of 2011.
Have a good night.

I told you last week that it would be the Giants and the Patriots in the Super Bowl. New York is peaking at just the right time, and playing very good defense I might add.
Defense wins championships. I know, it's an old saying, but it's true. Up-front pressure gets into a quarterback's head. But Tom Brady is playing exceptional football, so this, the ultimate revenge game, is going to be a contest. The hype will be extraordinary.
I'm glad you taking profits and cutting losses. That is the way to go, but then I've been all cash all of my life, so what do I know about investing in stocks? Not much.

10.5%? You know I'm not a market person, but that sounds good to me in any language. Looks like you did well with the first two also. Doesn't sound like a terrible Monday to me.
My Monday sucked.

Man, it's been a busy 2007 so far. And will continue to be for the foreseeable future. Everybody wants to visit or be visited. Apparently, a baby makes you far more popular than you used to be.
That's a good thing, though, and we've all really enjoyed seeing everyone. Rasine also digs all the new faces. She may turn out to be the extravert that Huyen and I aren't… she seems to love parties and large get-togethers, just staring at everyone, taking it all in. And, often, she turns up the Cute Meter to 11.
Oh, by the way, Rasine says "hi." Except it sounds more like "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa."

Since the greater part of these vocation ways manages various customers, the part of an assistant is deal with the little things so experts could focus more on the most imperative piece of the activity.An assistant is perfect for specialists, attorneys, bookkeepers and different experts. In any case, some may contend that in-house receptionists are splendidly fit for doing this part. In spite of the fact that it might be valid, there are some stamped points of interest to procuring a worker contrasted with an in-house staff. Procuring an assistant is less expensive over the long haul because of cuts on the overhead. Not at all like general workers, doesn't outsourcing require installment of protection, 401k, benefits, paid excursions and wiped out clears out. Include the cost of preparing, leasing office space and hardware and the subsequent sum could be more than anticipated. Then again, online receptionists would furnish experts with 24 hours of continuous administration for a level expense or every moment rate.
In-house receptionists are normally web based amid available time while ones can be achieved day in and day out. Quality receptionists additionally can answer dire inquiries, oversee asks for, and forward directions when important. Regardless of the possibility that experts are planned to go on an occasion or maybe take the end of the week off, the assistant is fit for taking care of all the approaching inquiries or sparing them for the correct beneficiaries. A few suppliers don't simply give assistance through telephones yet in addition makes it feasible for customers to set up arrangements through the web. With the vast majority depending on online correspondence these days, this would successfully help customer fulfillment.
Organizations that are anything but difficult to contact and give quick answers normally emerge for customers. With phenomenal client bolster originating from SERVIÇOS DE RECEPÇÃO, organizations would have the capacity to assemble their notoriety and in the end acquire customers through great inputs. A lot of receptionists would likewise mean a shorter holding up time and less dropped calls. Some receptionists are bilingual, enabling them to adapt to non-English talking customers. This makes the administration more various and more open to advance development. The nearness of an assistant taking care of little undertakings like taking arrangements or taking care of questions would leave the staff allowed to do the more essential parts in the association. There is no compelling reason to check huge amounts of phone messages or returning calls made by customers.

1 Writing Mistie formats
A typical intent of a format file is to cause
certain characters in the input document to
trigger non-trivial changes in the output document.
E.g., if the output is to be HTML, we'd like the
&, and
" in the
input to come out as
", respectively. The Mistie
mistie-def-char can be used for this:
(mistie-def-char #\<
(lambda ()
(display "<")))
(mistie-def-char #\>
(lambda ()
(display ">")))
(mistie-def-char #\&
(lambda ()
(display "&")))
(mistie-def-char #\"
(lambda ()
(display """)))
mistie-def-char takes two arguments: The first is
the character that is defined, and the second is
the procedure associated with it. Here, the procedure
writes the HTML encoded version of the character.

. We could
mistie-def-char the newline
character as follows:
(mistie-def-char #\newline
(lambda ()
(let* ((s (h-read-whitespace))
(n (h-number-of-newlines s)))
(if (> n 0)
(begin (display "
")
(newline) (newline))
(display s)))))

 followed by two newlines (added for human
readability). Otherwise, it merely prints the
picked up whitespace as is. The help procedures
h-read-whitespace and
are ordinary Scheme procedures:
(define h-read-whitespace
(lambda ()
(let loop ((r '()))
(let ((c (peek-char)))
(if (or (eof-object? c) (not (char-whitespace? c)))
(list->string (reverse r))
(loop (cons (read-char) r)))))))
(define h-number-of-newlines
(lambda (ws)
(let ((n (string-length ws)))
(let loop ((i 0) (k 0))
(if (>= i n) k
(loop (+ i 1)
(if (char=? (string-ref ws i) #\newline)
(+ k 1) k)))))))
1.1 Control sequences
The Mistie procedure
mistie-def-ctl-seq defines
control sequences. A control sequence is a
sequence of letters (alphabetic characters), and
is invoked in the input document by prefixing the
sequence with an escape character. (The case of
the letters is insignificant.)
associates a procedure with a control sequence --
when the control sequence occurs in the input
document, it causes the procedure to be applied.
The following defines the control sequence
which emits the HTML tag
(mistie-def-ctl-seq 'br
(lambda ()
(display "
")))
(set! mistie-escape-char #\\)
br control sequence as
1.2 Frames
However, we can do better and get automatic line
breaks with a more powerful control sequence. Let's
say text between
\obeylines and
should have automatic line breaks. We define
the control sequences
obeylines and
endobeylines as follows:
(mistie-def-ctl-seq 'obeylines
(lambda ()
(mistie-def-char #\newline
(lambda ()
(display "
")
(mistie-def-ctl-seq 'endobeylines
(lambda ()
obeylines control sequence first pushes a new
frame on to the Mistie environment, using the Mistie
mistie-push-frame. What this means is
that any definitions (whether
mistie-def-char or
mistie-def-ctl-seq) will shadow existing
definitions. The Mistie procedure
mistie-pop-frame exits the frame, causing
the older definitions to take effect again.
mistie-def-char for newline, so that it will emit

 instead of performing its default action
(which, as we described above, was to look for
paragraph separation). We also define a control
endobeylines which will pop the frame
pushed by
obeylines. With this definition in
place, any text sandwiched between
\obeylines and
\endobeylines (assuming
\ is the escape
character) will be output with a

 at the end
of each of its lines.
1.3 Calling Scheme from within the document
We can define a control sequence
eval that
will allow the input document to explicitly evaluate
Scheme expressions, without having to put them all
in a format file.
(mistie-def-ctl-seq 'eval
(lambda ()
(eval (read))))
\eval followed by a Scheme
expression to evaluate that Scheme expression.
\eval (display (+ 21 21))
42 to be printed at the point where the
\eval statement is placed. Of course, once you
have arbitrary access to Scheme within your document,
the amount of kooky intertextual stuff you can do is
limited only by your imagination. A mundane use for
\eval is to reset the escape character at
arbitrary locations in the document, should the
existing character be needed (temporarily or
permanently) for something else.
Suppose we want a contiguous sequence of blank lines
to be come out as the paragraph separator,
This will cause newline to read up all the following
whitespace, and then check to see how many further
newlines it picked up. If there was at least one,
it outputs the paragraph separator, viz.,
Before a control sequence can be used, we must fix the escape character. The following sets it to backslash:
We can now invoke the

Burbank city officials may have a handful of half-century-old trees removed because their roots and canopies could damage a new track planned for John Burroughs High School.
A dozen camphor trees along the 300 block of North Keystone Street in Burbank line the sidewalk across from residential homes and will hang over the new track at Memorial Field, which is under construction,according to the Burbank Leader.
