17-IV-2008 or Only To Me Can This Happen...
by Aaron Shurtleff on April 17, 2008
I have the worst funny story to tell, but I'm going to put in some filler first, so that you can't read the beginning from the main page, so if you want to read just that part, skip down a bit. I'll put in some funky asterisks (asteriski?) when the story starts.
But first, I need to go back to work.. :( Continued in a bit...
I see from my On Demand service that the first Dragonlance book (Dragons of Autumn Twilight) is now a movie. I really love the Dragonlance books (hell, I based my tattoo on the books, and that's a lifetime commitment!!), but I am nervous. I don't know how well the books lend themselves to movie translation, and I don't want to soil my memories of the books by watching a crappy movie (see Sphere).
And, yes, before someone else says it, the books weren't super awesome fabulous, and the whole thing got out of hand rapidly, with book after book after book for seemingly no reason except to make money, but at least the first two trilogies (Chronicles and Legends) were excellent, in my opinion.
OK, so Monday morning, my cat, Malachi (best cat ever! If he didn't run and hide when he sees a camera, I'd post a picture!) woke me up at 4:30-ish. He has this thing he does, where he jumps on the bed, goes up to my head, grabs a bunch of my hair in his mouth, and pulls and shakes to let me know he's hungry. It's cuter than it sounds, trust me! :) Anyways, I get up to feed him, and I'm feeling a bit light-headed and woozy, but nothing too major, I figured. Oh, and it's also important to mention that my wife is out of the country in Mexico for work, so it's just the cats and I. Just the five of us. So, I feed the cats, and I'm headed back upstairs, and I start to feel very very ill. So I run for the bathroom, and I am sick (in the tub...I didn't have time to mess with the toilet). So, I know I'm not going to work, so I go downstairs, call work and leave a message on the machine, take a pill (I have some anti-nausea medicine that was prescribed to me last month), and head back upstairs to bed.
I think, at this point, it's best a take this chronologically. You'll see what's going on soon, when the action comes back to me. So, at 8:00 am, I'm not at work, so my boss checks his phone. No messages. We're busy, so he goes out in the field, and comes back at about 9:00. No Aaron, no message. At this point, he finds out that the phones are down (can't call in or out), so he has one of the other employees call me on their cell phone. No answer. He has another employee call my cell phone. Again, no answer. He finally figures, maybe there's a message, and when the phones come back up, it'll be there. 10:30 am, phones are fixed, no message from me (it's unclear to me whether any messages were there, or just not mine...). At this point, he's more than a bit concerned, so he calls the Florida Highway Patrol to see if there have been any accidents between Saint Petersburg (where I live) and Wimauma, FL (or Balm...our address here at work can go either way). No accidents. No he's even more concerned, so he tries to call me a few more times. No answer. He's more concerned, so he calls my wife to see if she knows what's up with me. No answer. (He has no idea she's out of the country, and cell phone range, at this point). So, he decides to call my wife's workplace (also my old workplace, as we used to work together). He talks to the head of personnel, and my wife's immediate supervisor, who let him know that Jen is in Mexico. My boss starts wondering if I'm in Mexico. My wife's employers call her cell phone, and leave her e-mail messages, letting her know that my work cannot seem to get a hold of me (but don't talk to her directly, since she has no cell phone reception). At this point, I'm now getting called by my work (my boss, and two different co-workers cell phones) and now my wife's work, and no answer. So, they decide to come down to my house to find me. The head of personnel comes down and is ringing the doorbell, and banging on the door, trying to see if I'm in there and OK, or dead on the floor, feeding the cats (and, yes, I found out later that there was an actual fear that I was dead, and the cats might have been eating me).
Cut back to me. I'm sleeping, and I hear the doorbell and knocking at the door. I'm even more woozy now, because those anti-nausea pills really wonk me out, but I haul my ass out of bed, to see what's going on. It's now 5:15 pm, and I've been sleeping about 13 hours. I get downstairs, no one's at the door, but my cell phone is giving me the "you have a message" beep. I look at the display. 14 missed calls. I'm thinking to myself, Holy crap! Did something happen? Is my wife OK? So, I'm listening to these messages, and they're all "Where are you? Are you coming to work? Are you OK?", and each message gets more anxious than the one before. Finally, the last one is my wife's work, saying she's on her way over to my house to make sure I'm OK. I'm thinking "What? CRAP!!" So I call work. My boss is glad to hear I'm OK, but he claims he never got the message. I'm just groggy enough to wonder if I actually called, or just thought I did. (Aside here: I checked my cell phone records, and I most certainly called!) So, then I call my co-workers to let them know I'm OK. About this time, I hear people on my front porch area, moving around my potted plants and doormat. I go to the door. It's my wife's boss and the head of my wife's job's personnel department, trying to see if we have a spare key hidden outside, so they can come in and see if I'm OK.
AND as if I don't already feel embarrassed and mortified about the whole situation, I check my e-mail, and I have a message from my wife, telling me that she got an e-mail telling her that no one can find me, and I didn't go to work, and am I OK. I had to send her an e-mail and let her know I'm OK, I'll explain the whole story later.
Could my week get any worse? I've still got 3 more days, so let's find out. ;)
The song of the day will be "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus. Because I love Iron Maiden, too! ;)
Oh, and does anyone really care that Martha Stewart's dog is dead? Why is that news? Renal failure, I see from the headline. That happens to dogs from time to time. I think that's what happened to my dog. That didn't make headlines on CNN.com!!!

Malachi has been trying to eat my hair for years, so I guess being eaten by my cats in the event of my death is possible.
It's OK to laugh. I'm just glad that my wife is laughing about it. I thought she'd be mega-pissed! I am feeling better now.
I haven't heard anything about a Jet Li/Jackie Chan movie. I'll have to look into that. Sounds like a fun one!

Great story, Aaron. :-)

Give us this day our daily bread. . . Really?
I've been reading the beatitudes as part of my study of the gospel of Jesus and the Spirit caused me to meditate on this verse: "Give us this day our daily bread". I have never needed to pray asking God for my daily food, I have never needed to worry about getting enough food for myself or my family. When I pray this prayer it's mostly in thanks for the daily food that the Lord has always provided. The fact that our Lord encouraged His followers to pray for daily food suggests that at that time in Israel there were those who worried that there would be no food for their family the next day. A bit of investigation showed that in that place and time many people were day-laborers who relied on a day's wage to buy food for the next day. There were no government programs that provided a minimum amount of food for children and families. If the father had no labor the supply of food for the family was threatened.
What about today, are there people who desperately pray just to have daily food? I think about our brothers and sisters who are locked up in North Korean prisons with their entire families whose only crime was following our Lord Jesus Christ. I've heard that the only way out of those prisons is death, and that death mostly comes by starvation. I'm sure these saints pray desperately for their daily food, and I suspect their faith is challenged when their little children or elders die because their prayers are not answered. God could (and maybe He does, I don't know) send the equivalent of manna or perform some other miracle to bring them food. But, mostly Jesus uses His body to answer these kinds of needs and prayers. We really are the hands and feet of the Lord Jesus Christ that God uses to answer the prayers of the saints. So, how should we use our hands and feet? Is the Lord pleased if we use them to support, advance, and establish religious organizations that promote the teachings of a mere man rather the those of our Lord Jesus Christ? For me I'm going to inquire if there is a ministry that can get food, clothes and medicine to the saints in North Korean prisons. If there is no ministry, then God willing I am going to find out if there is a way to help get food, clothes, and medicine to the saints suffering there. Maybe God can use me to help answer a saint's simple prayer of "Give us this day our daily bread".
Look to Jesus not The Ministry! Hebrews 12:2.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

Always focus on yourself!
If you want to do yoga, the first thing you should know that this is your journey. Yoga aims to calm and balance the mind with practice. So always focus on your practice. It's very important to listen to your body and yourself. As much as you practice yoga, it will be easier to overcome problems in daily life. I can say that yoga will change your perspective in life. It is also good for your muscles. Sometimes it's hard to do it, but I feel very good when I'm on a yoga mat.
Heal your mind…
Yoga has some principles. One of them is no violence. If your body does not want to do it at the moment, do not force and deceive yourself. At first, I thought I'd get tired of yoga, but then I realized that I don't have this quiet time in my life. I realized that it was good for me and it was healing my mind. The intention is very important. First, determine your intention and then start practicing. Because today's decisions affect the future. I hope this article can be useful for those who want to do yoga or think about it.

Bucks owner Kohl says NBA deal had balance
Says franchise could become profitable
St. Francis - A contentious lockout is behind him and a new revenue-sharing plan among the National Basketball Association's 30 teams is reality, finally.
And that's welcome news to Milwaukee Bucks owner Herb Kohl, who said Saturday that he thinks the franchise can compete under the new collective bargaining agreement and even become profitable.
Kohl, appearing at the Bucks media day gathering at the Cousins Center training facility, spoke openly about the ramifications of the new CBA and the separate revenue-sharing plan agreed to by owners.
"I think on balance it's good for small-market teams and gives us a real opportunity to be profitable from now on, which hasn't been true for quite a number of years," Kohl said.
The Bucks have never disclosed their financial situation, but Kohl has said for years the team loses money. It is the least-valued team in the league at $258 million, according to Forbes magazine.
Kohl, who plans to retire from the U.S. Senate next year, has had to adhere to NBA Commissioner David Stern's code of silence during the extended lockout. Free to speak now, Kohl said he voted in favor of the new deal, which will run for the next 10 years (with a six-year option for both players and owners).
And he agreed with Stern's characterization that the debate among owners on a new revenue-sharing agreement was "arduous." Kohl said he was heavily involved in the debate, shuttling between Washington and New York.
"To the credit of large-market owners, they understand if we are going to move forward as a 30-team league there has to be a willingness to share more local revenue. Right now, we've not really done that," he said.
The Bucks were getting approximately $5 million a year under the old revenue-sharing plan. The new plan, which will begin in 2013-'14, increased the amount coming to small-market teams significantly. Kohl acknowledged the Bucks would be in line to receive approximately $15 million to $16 million a season.
"On balance, considering the CBA and revenue sharing together, there were a lot of good things in it," Kohl said.
"I wanted to be sure smaller-market teams were taken into consideration. It didn't come easily, because those who have don't want to give, and those who don't have perhaps want too much."
Kohl said he thinks the Bucks will be able to win back fans who have been alienated by the lockout and the cancellation of 16 games from the regular league schedule.
A 66-game season will begin Christmas Day, and the Bucks will open their season Dec. 26 at Charlotte before returning home to play Minnesota on Dec. 27 at the Bradley Center.
"I have contacts around town, and I'm back all the time, talking to people all the time," Kohl said. "They're just happy to have basketball back, happy the team is going to be playing (around) Christmas.
"They're willing, I think and I hope, to forgive and forget and move on."
Kohl said he thinks a solution needs to be found for the Bucks' long-term facility needs as they continue to play in the aging Bradley Center.
"I think the general feeling without any dispute around town is we need a new entertainment and sports facility," Kohl said. "I hope this will provide us some impetus, to get us as a community moving forward."
Bradley Center officials have been saying for years that the facility faces major challenges, including maintenance and technology upgrades. Marc Marotta, the chairman of the Bradley Center board, has argued that the 23-year-old building on its own cannot continue to generate the revenue needed to keep the building on par with other arenas around the country, as well as provide significant revenue streams for its tenants, including the Bucks.
The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, the region's most prominent business group, has been working with the Bradley Center and the Bucks to find new opportunities for more tickets sales and new sponsorships.
Kohl, who bought the team in 1985 from Jim Fitzgerald, said he remains energized in his role as owner and confident in the management team led by general manager John Hammond and the team's coaching staff led by coach Scott Skiles.
"I still enjoy it," Kohl, 76, said. "I've always enjoyed owning the team, even when we were going through years of losses, because I like the sport. I like interacting with the guys, the coaches, the general manager, our fans.
"It's been a big plus in my life. And now that hopefully the team is going to be profitable, it will be even more enjoyable."
Kohl will retire as a U.S. Senator at the end of his term in 2012.
"The people at the Bucks were very pleased I was a senator for the most part," Kohl said. "I think they have mixed feelings about my decision not to run again.
"But sure, I'll have more time and I'll be giving it more input. But I've always tried to find a balance with my responsibilities as an owner in the business sector and the basketball sector.
"They understand I'm around all the time, but I'm never involved to the extent I'm trying to micromanage or look over their shoulders too much. First of all, I'm not qualified. Our basketball people know their business better than I do, and our business people are very good at their jobs."
He complimented Hammond and Skiles for the jobs they have done since arriving in April 2008.
The Bucks have reached the playoffs once in those three years, after posting a 46-36 record during the 2009-'10 season. The Bucks held a 3-2 lead in the opening round of the playoffs, despite losing center Andrew Bogut to injury late that year, but eventually fell in seven games to Atlanta.
Hammond was named the league's executive of the year, and Skiles ranked second in the coach of the year voting.
But injuries and chemistry issues resulted in a 35-47 mark last season.
Kohl said he was optimistic about the coming season with the personnel changes made by Bucks management and the hope for a healthier roster.

Postcolonial discourses describe colonization as a process of invention to impose the will of a conquering West on "backward" societies. The will to power conjugated with the need for row materials served as the main catalysts. They put side by side a hegemonic intruder bent on duplicating itself, and a powerless and compliant native unable to react to the blitz of transformations. Hence, the master/slave or father/child relationships that describe the colonial framework. The task is to interrogate these generally accepted assumptions and binary oppositions. Although marginalized, the Congolese native was unwilling to become on object for the colonizer's gaze. In fact, the inability to expel the "invader" did not prevent the creation of legitimacies out of what was precipitously brought in. This mechanism of transformation is perceptible in Paul Lomami Tchibamba's novel Ngando (1948), the object of this study. Ngando's imagined colonial city stands out as a site of contrasts and contradictions. However, the duplicated model shows the "transformability" of the new space into "normalcy" by a subversive native.

January 9, 1963 … that's my D Day. I was three years old and I don't remember much, other than a nurse next to the hospital bed demonstrating how to give an injection. What a first memory.
Living with diabetes during the 60's and 70's was tough. By today's standards, it was primitive. Looking back, every day was a challenge. Insulin had been discovered 40 years earlier and kept me alive. Since then, I've been blessed with blood meters, insulin pumps, faster acting insulin, sensors that provide continuous glucose data, access to medical care and a mind to absorb it all. Friends and family were there for me every step of the way.
In the weeks leading to my 50th Diaversary, my feelings were a mixture of accomplishment, blessings, curiosity, loss, and hope. At the top of my list was a thank you to those who had helped me along the way.
With humility and appreciation, I'd like to share my list of those who have helped me on my journey with type 1.

SMRC Scottish Championship car races on the anti clockwise circuit.
The SMRC ran 16 races for a wide variety of cars at Knockhill on 5th May. It was a cloudy but dry day, with the sun peaking through occasionally. The meeting also celebrated 60 years of the iconic Mini. There were lots of Minis present with a lunch time track parade of over 100 MINI's, a Celtic Speed Scottish MINI Cooper Cup grid walk for fans and a special 60 years of MINI programme.
As always the Celtic Speed Scottish MINI Cooper Cup had 3 races. Two victories for Robbie Dalgleish in races 1 & 2 and a 4th in race 3, saw him strengthen his grip on the championship, having now won 5 of the first 6 rounds. But it wasn't easy. He only won the two races by a few car lengths, having survived lots of pressure. In race 1 he led all the way to beat 2017 champion Mark Geraghty by 2 tenths of a second, with Vic Covey jnr a fine 3rd on his return to Coopers, having started 7th. In race 2 Robbie didn't lead all the way, dropping to 3rd at the start, but he was 2nd half way round lap 1. He tracked Mark Geraghty and nipped past at MacIntyre on lap 4, to head a 4-car train at the front. Ian Munro took 2nd on lap 5 and held off Geraghty as Dalgleish opened out a 5 car length gap to win. Race 3 was won by Mark Geraghty in another 2 tenths of a second gap finish, from 2018 Mini Cooper Newcomers Cup winner Michael Weddell. But Weddell led for 100 meters at the end of the last lap from Leslie's to the top of Duffus, then Geraghty out dragged him to the line. Former Mini Cooper Champion Vic Covey jnr was a close 3rd in his newly acquired car. This race saw between 5 and 8 cars constantly fight for the lead, with a traffic jam of cars running 2 and 3 abreast at the hairpin every lap. Robbie Dalgliesh finished 4th. Ian Bonthrone took all 3 Newcomers Cup wins , that's a 100% win record so far, and Ashleigh Morris took 3 Ladies Cup wins.
The Scottish Formula Ford single seater Championship, saw two dominant wins for the experienced Jordan Gronkowski. He beat teenager Logan Hannah in race 1 by just over a second, after a late safety car period bunched up the field, as Jordan had built up a ten second lead by then. Lady racer Logan had her best ever finish, a fine 2nd holding off Matthew Chisholm. This was after she swapped places twice with Neil Broome. He then dropped back after what looked like a missed gear change to finish 4th behind Chisholm. In race 2 Logan led for a few hundred meters then Jordan swept by as they braked for the 1st corner, the hairpin. Then Jordan led all the way, as Matthew Chisholm got ahead of Logan Hannah early on, and this time held onto 2nd as Van Diemen cars took a 1,2. Logan Hannah still took 3rd and was top Ray car. Jordan said after race 1, 'I got a good gap, and backed off. Then the safety car came out, but it was okay. It was just a case of getting my head back in and keeping calm'. That's 4 wins in 4 races for Jordan Gronkowski.
In the combined Scottish Fiesta ST Cup and Mini Cooper S Cup, in Association with Farmer Autocare, Oly Mortimer took two impressive outright wins. Minis start 10 seconds behind Fiestas, but he was leading in both races by mid distance, as he powered away from the other Minis. In the Fiestas 17 year old Jack Davidson won the class leading home their 10 car field. He was 3rd overall in race 1 behind 2 Minis of Mortimer and Scott Forbes. Second in STs was Steven Gray who held onto Davidson until mid distance, followed by Ryan Stirling. In race 2 Davidson was an impressive 2nd overall, as ST podium spots went to Steven Gray 2nd and Ryan Stirling 3rd again. Stuart Buchan was 3rd overall and 2nd Mini having scrapped with Scott Forbes all race, who was close in 4th at the flag. The two Mini Cooper S wins continue Edinburgh based Oly Mortimer's 100% win record, dating back to early 2017. Oly said after race 1, 'The car was flying and I'm really enjoying the reverse direction, and it's great to see so many Minis on display at the circuit'.
In the new SMTA Citroen C1 Cup, teenager Jack Davidson was again the star. In his first ever races in this Championship, he took two lights to chequered flag wins. Race 1 saw him under lots of pressure until lap 8 of the 10 lap race, when Ryan Smith dropped back a couple of seconds, having sat on Davidson's tailgate from the start. These two had pulled away from the 14 car field, which is growing in numbers as an entry class into circuit racing in Scotland. In 3rd , 16 year old Kyle Grant got his first podium finish. Glenn Alcock had the honour of the first roll with a C1 in this new championship, as he put wheels in the gravel at Clark, and landed on his roof on the last lap. Finlay Brunton race winner in April also scored an unfortunate dnf. In race 2 Jack Davidson quickly got clear, and led the chasing pack all race for another fine win. Colin Main went from 6th to 2nd from Steven Morrison by only two tenths of a second at the line. Ryan Smith battled hard and grabbed 4th at the last corner, Duffus, from Reis Robertson. Glen Alcock raced his car minus front and rear screens, though was well down, but finished in race 2. After race 1 teenager Jack Davidson commented on his first C1 race, saying 'It was quite hard. I had a lot of pressure on me for a while, then got a gap. It's quite hard to drive them, but its good fun and you must keep momentum up.'
Scottish Legends Cars Championship had lots of frantic racing, and more overtaking than any other race, as their grids are dictated by a random draw in heats 1 & 2. Then in the Final the day's top points scoring cars start at the back of the grid. Heat 1 saw a win for Commentator Duncan Vincent, who is a quick driver, from Dave Newall. Duncan led early on, then swapped places a couple of times with Dave Newall after a mid raced safety car period, before just holding on to win. Newall dropped to 3rd on lap 7 but in a late spurt passed Steve Whitelegg. Duncan also survived being hit from behind on lap 3 by Stewart Black, who went off backwards into the tyre barriers going down the hill. Duncan said, ' the car is on fire right now. Had to readjust my helmet after Stewart hit me, hope he's okay. A cracking race and it's a joy to race with Dave Newall and Steve Whitelegg'. Heat 2 and the Final were both won by former multiple Scottish Legends Champion John Paterson, who hadn't won a race since early last year. In heat 2 he led home Championship leader Steven McGill. Who led the first half of the race. In 3rd was Duncan Vincent after starting 13th though it only took him 4 laps to get 3rd, but by then he was 3 seconds down on the leaders. By the flag he was just 2 car lengths behind McGill. While in the final Paterson passed 11 cars in the opening 2 laps to lead by McIntyres. He opened out another 3 second lead, which was 2 seconds at the flag as he beat Duncan Vincent, who set a new lap record in his chase up the order from the back of the 14 car field, with Steve Whitelegg a close 3rd. Though Steven McGill in 4th was over 5 seconds back. Defending Champion David Hunter had a quieter day with 4th, 6th and 7th placed finishes.
In Scottish Saloons and Sports Car Championship, it was two wins for former Champion Paul Brydon his new Scandinavian Touring Car; a BMW bodied space frame car, with a V6 Nissan engine. Paul is getting used to it and was the class of the field, as he set a new lap record in race 2. Race 1 Paul Rankin was 2nd in his Westfield kit car, well clear of defending champion William Robson's Focus. While in race 2 Robert Drummond passed Rankin on lap 1 and held 2nd all the way in his Escort Cosworth, despite Rankin never being far away in 3rd. as less than a second separated them at the flag. Robson had mechanical woes from lap 2 and limped the Focus home in last place but scored valuable points. Brydon set a new lap record in race 2.
The Scottish Classic Sports and Saloons saw two tight leading battles. In race 1 defending Champion Alastair Baptie won in his nearly 50 year old MGB GT V8, after he passed Raymond Boyd's Porsche 911 Turbo mid race at the hairpin. Baptie sat on Boyd's tail from the start. John Kinmond held 3rd in his big Rover SD1 from the start until late on the last lap. He started having what looked like a rear tyre trouble, with smoke coming from a back wheel. He slowed from lap 11 and this let in Bruce Mitchell who grabbed 3rd in his Europa on the back straight with half a lap to go. In race 2 Boyd led all the way, with Baptie on his tail again. When Baptie tried an overtaking move going downhill into the hairpin on lap 9 of 12 he half spun, as Boyd defended. Then Boyd raced away to win. Baptie restarted, but cruised round and fell back. This promoted Kieron Baillie into 2nd in his Lotus 7 with Bruce Mitchell putting on a late spurt to grab 3rd with his Lotus Europa by inches from Ian Crehan's Mazda MX5. Mitchell had spun at the hairpin mid race, dropped to 5th and fought back. William Conway took class A in his Mini in both races, which was quite fitting on the Mini tribute day.
A good day at Knockhill, the next meeting at Knockhill is June 23rd on the clockwise track. In between then will be away rounds for Legends Cars at Angelsey in Wales on 25 and 26 May. But it's to Kirkistown in Northern Ireland for the Celtic Speed Mini Cooper Cup on 25 May. The newly supported by Farmer Autocare, Fiesta ST Cup and Mini Cooper S Cup cars also go to Kirkistown on the same weekend.

Aussie Daniel Erickson to drive in Rolex 24 at Daytona
A Grand-Am Daytona Prototype, similar to the one that Daniel Erickson will drive in the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January.
Daniel Erickson will step up to motorsport's big league next month when he competes in America's iconic sports car race, the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
The 23 year-old Aussie will co-drive a Primus Racing Crawford-Chevrolet in the 49th running of the twice-round-the-clock classic on January 29-30 at the legendary Florida racetrack.
Erickson was thrilled at the prospect of sharing the racetrack with some of his motorsport heroes in the world-famous event.
"It's an honour just to be invited to drive in such a prestigious race," he said.
"I look up to people like Martin Brundle, Buddy Rice and Jimmie Johnson because they've won at the sport's highest level, but to have the opportunity to race against them in similar machinery will be an unbelievable experience!"
Erickson comes to the enduro as the 2010 American F2000 Championship Series Rookie of the Year, but admits that the 300km/h Crawford will be radically different from the 'junior development' openwheelers he's driven to date.
"A Daytona Prototype has nearly double the power-to-weight ratio of an F2000, as well as bigger tyres and more sophisticated aerodynamics, so I'm expecting a massive increase in performance," he said.
He added that the 5.7km Daytona road course and the 24-hour format would present their own challenges.
"I'm looking forward to driving on Daytona's 31-degree banking, and racing at night -- they'll be new experiences too!"
Erickson was relieved that Primus Racing owner Jon Baytos, who masterminded his F2000 Championship Series campaign, would be calling the shots from the Daytona pit lane.
"Jon did an amazing job for me in F2000 this year, overcoming all sorts of problems with his knowledge and experience," he said.
"We get on well together because we both set high standards -- there's no-one else I'd rather have as a team manager."
Erickson will fly to America later this month to test the Daytona car at MSR Houston Raceway.
While the car will be unfamiliar he won't have to learn the circuit, which he lapped within a tenth of a second of the class benchmark time in his first test drive of a Star Mazda openwheeler 12 months ago.
He'll remain in the USA for the official Grand-Am 'Roar Before the 24' practice sessions at Daytona in early-January.
Between then and the Rolex 24 he plans to test a Formula Star Mazda again, with a view to contesting the 2011 US national Star Mazda championship.
Erickson thanked everyone who has helped him in his motorsport career to date.
"I'm so grateful to the Australian karting and car racing fraternities, Peter McQueen, ADAR, Camden Signs, PKT, Enzian Lodge, Greg Rust, Mike Russell, Darren Gillis, Robert Campbell, DPE Arrow Karts, Karting World, Borland Racing Developments, OzRacingWrap.com.au, All Jacks and Paint, Brian Wilson, the Australian Motor Sport Foundation, Jon Baytos, Jacobson Communications, Team Erickson members, the media and my family.
"They've all helped me in some way to achieve the results that I have so far.
"With their continued support, 2011 is set to be my most exciting and successful year yet!"

Toxic Regimes: Agent Orange, Science, and Pollution in Ontario, 1960s-1990s.
Thursday, January 30th, 2020
|Thursday, January 30, 2020
|208N, North House, 1 Devonshire Place
CSUS Graduate Student Workshop
Toxic Regimes: Agent Orange, Science, and Pollution in Ontario, 1960s-1990s.
In late 1989, chemical tests in Elmira, Ontario revealed the presence of dimethylnitrosamine (NDMA), a common by-product of rubber, organic chemical and other manufacturing processes, in the local water supply. Local government officials immediately shut down two town wells upon this discovery, and closed the remainder of the wells the following year. While NDMA posed a potential threat to human and environmental health, a longer legacy of equally, if not more, potentially dangerous chemical contaminants already existed in this small industrial town. Some of the most pertinent chemicals manufactured in Elmira as early as the 1950s were 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T — two herbicides which, when combined, constituted the chemical munition commonly known as Agent Orange. Indeed, one of the corporations based in Elmira supplied Agent Orange to the US Department of Defense during the 1960s, as the US military advanced its mass use of chemical weapons in the Vietnam War. In this talk, I discuss how the production, waste, and scientific knowledge of Agent Orange in Elmira was indelibly bound to an emergent local water and environmental crisis in the latter half of the twentieth century, as well as a greater network of Cold War technology and exposures.

Libya invests in OLPC
The Libyan government is rumoured to be buying 1.2 million laptops from the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, according to reports in The New York Times.
If the contract, worth an estimated US$250million, comes off then Libya will be the first country to have officially placed an order for the laptops.
The OLPC project was unveiled last year with the intention to provide low-cost computers in order to give children in developing countries links to educational resources via the Internet.
The project has said that it would require a pre-order of between five and ten million units before committing to production and distribution of the laptops.
The prototype designs of the 2B1 laptop are understood to run on a low-power AMD processor and carry 128MB of RAM.

It's elementary, my dear Obama
Hard to believe it, but school officials in Hempstead, New York, beat Chicago to the punch last week by becoming the first public agency to name something for Barack Obama.
Effectively immediately, the 440-student Ludlum Elementary will be known as Barack Obama Elementary and lay claim to being the first of what will undoubtedly be hundreds of schools, streets, parks, bridges, highways and perhaps even rivers and towns that inevitably will be named or re-named for the first African American president. (story)
The Clear Stream Avenue School in Valley Stream, N.Y., also on Long Island, will consider a renaming resolution in December. Students at the Clark K-8 At Binnsmead school in Portland, Ore., are seeking to rename it after Obama. And the prime minister of the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda has said he wants its Boggy Peak renamed Mount Obama.
Normally I oppose such early enshrinement. The sentimental rush to honor public figures in concrete too often results in what history would judge to be disproportional prominence for certain names (Dan Ryan and William Edens come to mind).
Normally I'm an advocate for the Hall of Fame rule – that we wait five years after a famous person retires, leaves office or dies before naming anything after him.
But this is not a normal situation. Obama has already, inarguably, become one of the most famous, important Chicagoans of all time. Even now, it wouldn't risk the judgment of history to name Lake Shore Drive for him.
If not Lake Shore Drive, how about Grant Park?
Geoff Bates -- We really don't want to rename Lake Shore Drive. There are sentimental reasons - I don't know if Daniel Burnham actually decided on the name, but it appears in his Plan for Chicago - it's 100 years old!
The name Lake Shore Drive actually provides a mental picture of the road's location - along the shore of the lake! It's a real, physical presence, not a marketing tool or wannabe place.
Consider this scene: The Olympics in 2016. An international gathering the likes of which Chicago has not seen since the 1893 fair. Traffic crawls along the edge of the lake under the fifth day of a blazing midwestern heat wave. People are fuming, despite the gorgeous view. And our traffic copters comment with glee, " Traffic stinks on the B.O. Drive from Roosevelt to Fullerton."
We don't want this for Chicago. Or Barack. Let's find something else to name for the guy - like maybe Northerly Island.
Please. Northerly Island is too small, too insignificant to qualify as a fitting tribute to the first Chicagoan and the first African American to be elected president of the United States. We're going to have to re-name something --surely more than one thing -- and it's going to have to be huge. The Dan Ryan is a likely candidate, as is Grant Park. Michigan Avenue?
It has to happen and will happen. The only questions are what and when.

Hi There,
We often have several date listed as response options for the question: Which Session did you attend? I like to delete past dates so the user doesn't have to scroll through so many choices. How do you see those deleted options in the report?
Thanks for helping Dominic! This is a solid solution!
You could also use answer option display logic based on the current date so old dates do not display!
I hope this helps!

Disability Grants To Help RA Disabled Kristy Get Medically Induced Debt Relief
by Kristy Nelson
(Watertown, Wisconsin, USA)
My name is Kristy M. Nelson. I am a 37-year-old woman on disability. I have never been married and have no children. I do have four older sisters.
Kristy Nelson Cheery And Hoping For Better
I have lived in Wisconsin all my life, mainly the Johnson Creek and Watertown area.
I was forced to move out of my mother's house in 2006 because she was moving back two and a half hours away to where she grew up as a kid.
I wanted to stay back because of my job, family and friends therefore I moved in with one of my older sisters.
In 2014, I decided I wanted to get out on my own, so I moved into my current apartment with my six-year-old Rat Terrier.
Disability Issues
My disability began two years out of high school in 1999. I went to my family doctor because I was sick and tired of the stiffness and pain in all my joints.
My family doctor examined my joints and then referred me to a specialist in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
The pain and stiffness started slowly and then became an everyday occurrence. I also noticed that I was really tired all the time and had no energy.
My first appointment with the RA doctor went pretty smoothly. I had an exam, blood work done and was given a couple of prescriptions to try.
My follow-up appointment with my RA doctor was depressing. The prescriptions did not give me any relief. The RA doctor then prescribed some other prescriptions to try and referred me to a pain management doctor.
My first appointment with the pain management doctor went comfortably. I had an exam and was given a prescription.
My follow-up appointment with the pain management doctor was disheartening. The prescriptions did not help me so a different drug was prescribed.
After several appointments with respective doctors and a considerable amount of prescribed drugs that did not work, I was diagnosed with Severe and Chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis along with Fibromyalgia, Depression, High Blood Pressure and Anxiety.
As years go by, my RA is progressing rapidly. Because of this progression, numerous surgeries have taken place and I can see more surgeries in my future.
The first of many surgeries started with my knees. I had a total of eight arthroscopic knee surgeries, five were on my left knee and three were on my right knee before having both knees replaced at the same time in 2008.
In 2009, I was told by my neurologist that my spine was going into my brain, which was the reason for all my migraines that I was having.
Surgery had to be scheduled immediately. I was admitted to the hospital and put into traction for seven days before they could do my surgery.
My neck surgery consisted of putting two rods in my neck and fusing C 1-5 out of 7 vertebrae. This surgery has decreased my neck mobility to about 10% of the former movement. I'll have this for the rest of my life.
Besides the surgeries listed above, I have had many other surgeries. These include: two skin grafts, benign tumor removal, gallbladder removal, ruptured ovary repaired, broken femur corrected and hysterectomy.
I'm currently dealing with a bad infection in my left knee. The September surgery on just this knee is the third since March.
As a result of the cost of all these surgeries, I had to file bankruptcy in 2012. Since then, my medical bills are piling up again to the point that I need to file bankruptcy again.
Since 1999, I have had several jobs and at one point, I held four all at one time. My last job I had for almost 10 years before having to quit because of the steady deterioration of my health.
At that moment, I decided I needed to be on Disability. I applied for Disability two times before actually getting accepted in 2012.
Financial Hardship
To start with, I make $1310 monthly on Disability. This qualifies me for $16 in food stamps. My bills per month are as follows:
1. Rent -- $755 per month
2. Car Loan -- $300 per month
3. Electricity -- ranges any where from $50-$70 per month
4. Cell Phone -- $90 per month
5. Truck Insurance -- $75 per month
Total Bills -- $1280
Total Left -- $30
This remainder is what I have left to pay for prescriptions, medical bills, buy groceries, dog food, toiletries, clothes, gas for truck and repairs on truck.
I am not able to live on $30 per month. I accumulated money from working because I knew some day I would be on Disability, which wouldn't be much to live on per month.
This accumulation of money is now gone and I am struggling to make ends meet each month.
Income Efforts
In consideration of my low income after paying bills, I have to look for further income each month. Doing this each month is very stressful.
Here is my list of attempts to obtain income:
1. Community Action Coalition, state and county levels
2. Several churches in my area
3. Energy Assistance
4. United Way
5. Salvation Army
6. Critical Assistance Program through Rural Housing
7. Michael Lafler -- MAPP Program
8. Dodge County Housing Authority
9. Watertown Family Aid
10. Family Members
11. Crossroad House
12. Grants -- including this effort I'm making now
Specific Needs
I am seeking enough help in order to make a better life for myself and to feel good about myself again.
I am tired of trying to make ends meet each month and seeing no light at the end of the tunnel. I also hate the fact that I am living paycheck to paycheck.
I am currently behind on my rent and electric bill. I have put my medical bills on the back burner for now until I get my rent and electric bill up to date.
I have been given eviction notices from my landlord these past couple months. I got behind on these bills because of two things: (1) my truck needed repairs and (2) I have been laid up therefore not able to assist with others to make money.
Currently, I am unable to do any work for others that help me with my bills because of a bad infection in my left knee. Being down for six months with this infection along with my truck needing repairs are the reasons I am behind on my bills.
Any monetary help would be greatly appreciated. Having this help will make my life less stressful. I thank you in advance for helping me with disability grants and any other assistance available to me.

When BarkPost heard about this little girl's incredible story of how her service dog, George, helped her walk again, they knew he was more than deserving of their "Dog's Best Day" honor.
11-year-old Bella suffers from a rare progressive disorder called Morquio Syndrome that effects her mobility.
Her mother decided that she needed a service dog, and Bella fell in love with her new best friend, George, while volunteering at Service Dog Project, Inc.
Since then, the two have been inseparable and Bella goes on to say in the video that she knew when she met George that he needed her as much as she needed him.
Now, Bella wants to give back to George for all he has done for her, so together with BarkPost they were able to give George the BEST DAY EVER!

There are some other kinds of debt that are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. It makes no sense to file if your debts consist solely of student loans and recently incurred tax debts. Even though those debts are not dischargeable, filing bankruptcy might still make sense if discharging other debts might make it possible to pay the non-dischargeable debts.
What Do You Need To Protect?
If you have income that you'd like to protect from garnishment from creditors, filing bankruptcy would be a good idea. On the other hand, if your income consists solely of Social Security benefits, which creditors cannot reach, filing bankruptcy would not be necessary.
Bankruptcy allows you to keep certain assets. See What Can I Keep After Bankruptcy? If you have no assets, you may not need to file. You can't hide assets or sell them to a friend for $1. If you have significant assets that are not "exempt," you may need to consider alternative types of bankruptcy. See Which Bankruptcy is Right for Me?
Can You Follow Instructions?
Bankruptcy requires a lot of disclosure. If you are not prepared to tell us about all of your assets, liabilities, income and expenses, complete a detailed Questionnaire and furnish documents, such as tax returns, loan statements, pay stubs and bank statements, you won't qualify to become a client of Balbus Law Firm.
In addition, most communication between Balbus Law Firm and clients is via email. If you do not have an email account, you won't qualify to become a client of Balbus Law Firm.
Are You Ready To Move Forward?
If you are ready to move towards financial freedom, then Balbus Law Firm can help. To discuss whether it makes sense for you to file and, if so, in what chapter, in a free, no-obligation, initial consultation, call 203-286-4121 or e-mail us.
Balbus Law Firm is a debt relief agency. We help people and businesses in New York and Connecticut file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code.

Er Lannic megalithic enclosures
Er Lannic is an island in the Gulf of Morbihan which has a double megalithic enclosure, part of which is under water.
Opposite the Island of Gavrinis lies a small islet with one of the best-known monuments in the Gulf of Morbihan: the Er Lannic double megalithic enclosure. Often known as "cromlechs" (stone circles), these two monuments form twin horseshoe-shaped enclosures.
Excavated and restored by Z. Le Rouzic in the early twentieth century, a large quantity of ceramic fragments were found on the site (hollow-based cups) suggesting that the site may have had a religious use.
Today only the highest part of the enclosure is visible, the other part appearing at low tide. The second enclosure is below water, clearly demonstrating that the sea level has risen since the Neolithic Era.
This site is private property and the island a bird reserve. Access is therefore prohibited. It is however visible from the Gavrinis site or from the sea.

In the US, its drug regulator, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has already expressed concerns about the drug, which is manufactured by Pfizer.
Early trials suggested the drug was more than twice as effective as placebo, helping 44 per cent of smokers quit after they had taken the drug twice a day for 12 weeks.
Before the suicide risk was discovered, the most common reactions to the drug included nausea, abnormal dreams, dizziness, and vomiting.

So, when it came to establishing our own showroom in Waterloo Sydney, we put our heart and soul into designing a space that captures the essence of who we are and what we do.
Our vision was to create a memorable space in which our clients can visit and work alongside the Pace Group team as if it is their own.
Working with Inscape Projects Group, we transformed a heritage-rich building into a showroom for our bespoke commercial furniture solutions, and an inspiring and interactive space for our team to work with our clients.
The new design centre showcases our furniture range in real life situations and features a range of collaborative, breakout, meeting and quiet zones that demonstrate the future of agile working environments.
The space combines the raw aesthetic of the existing building with the bold design of the new, including a striking custom graffiti mural created by young artist Sam from Art by Leans. Watch Sam in action on the timelapse video.

Clean Slate Sunday: 3.14.10 edition
So I went. By myself. It felt like I had been driving for days and finally made it home.
The Gospel lesson for the day? The parable of the prodigal son.
The sermon? All about grace. The amazing grace offered up to each one of us by a loving God, and the somewhat ephemeral grace we humans offer one another.
The prodigal son and the grace with which his father accepted him upon his return. Now that's the kind of message I was needing today.
It was a busy week followed by an even busier weekend. I'm exhausted. Steve was home for the weekend - physically anyway - but spent much of that time frustrated over an issue at work. We did do a little bit of shopping with the kids Saturday and then Steve and I had a nice dinner out Saturday evening. Church this morning followed by social hour, then Girl Scout activities in the afternoon and a visit with some neighbors after that. I never thought I'd say this, but once again I'm looking forward to cleaning up and resting up from the weekend and getting back to the monotony of my Monday routine.
2 comments:
I always love Mondays just for that reason -- the monotony after the usually crazy weekend!ReplyDelete
We just started attending a new church because they have a family room where we can let our overly attached 1 year old play and we can watch the sermon on TVs (our old church just had a cry room and he wasn't about to sit on our laps for an hour!). We had missed out on church for months! It is so nice to be back -- I feel reconnected!
I'm so glad you found a new church, Cammie! I hope it works out great for your family. The difficulty with ours is that it is quite a drive for us, so it's very easy to say we'd rather sleep in on Sunday morning. I have "shopped around" for another church, but I always felt drawn back to this one, which is the one I attended growing up. There's something to be said for being somewhere where everyone knows you and genuinely cares about you.ReplyDelete

Jiji Maa 11th August 2018 Written Episode Update: Suyash and Falguni try to stop Shreya
Jiji Maa 11th August 2018 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Bhanu coming to meet Shreya. He apologizes and asks Shreya to come with him. Suyash stops Bhanu and slaps him. Suyash and Vidhaan beat him. Bhanu falls down and gets hurt. Shreya rushes to Bhanu and asks are you fine. She asks them why did they interfere in their personal matter, why did they beat Bhanu. She says I can protect myself, Suyash help me in lifting Bhanu, I will go when he gets fine. Uttara asks them to listen to Shreya, what did she say, its enough drama, get this man treated and throw him out. Suyash helps Shreya. Falguni cries seeing Chiku crying. Chiku says Bhanu troubles my mum a lot, will you help my mum. Falguni promises that she won't let anything happen to Shreya.
Shreya thanks Suyash for getting Bhanu treated. Suyash goes to Falguni and says we can't… She says we can't send Shreya to Bhanu, she will stay with us, I promised Chiku. He says yes, we will give money to Bhanu and send him. Niyati comes to talk. Falguni goes with her. She says its our responsibility to take care of Chiku and her mum. Vidhaan talks to Suyash and asks him if he is sure of his decision. Suyash says yes, Shreya needs out help, Falguni has a big heart, don't know how she gets so much courage. Falguni says by family's love. Suyash says you and Niyati got away because of my mistake. Vidhaan says no, our relation was weak, your relation is very strong. Suyash says Falguni has forgiven my big mistake, can't you forgive Niyati's small mistake. Vidhaan comes to Niyati. She says I have got this glass frame fixed, I know I didn't trust you, your heart is broken and its not easy to fix it, I have no sense to manage relations, you can take time to forgive me.
Shreya feels thirsty. She goes to get water. Bhanu wakes up and goes out. He comes to some room and says Shreya is sleeping here, today I will make her mine. He comes to Niyati and gets on the bed. He holds her. Vidhaan is sleeping on the couch. Niyati thinks he is Vidhaan and smiles. She turns and gets shocked seeing him. She screams and shouts Vidhaan, wake up, that man is on the bed and hugged me. Vidhaan gets angry seeing Bhanu. He says how dare you. He beats up Bhanu.
Bhanu says its nothing like that, listen to me. Vidhaan takes him out and beats him more. Suyash and everyone come. Suyash stops Vidhaan. Jayant asks what happened. Vidhaan says this man was misbehaving with Niyati, he came and lied on her bed, he was touching her. Niyati cries. Everyone gets shocked. Bhanu says its some misunderstanding, I thought she is Shreya. Bhanu scolds Shreya for leaving him and going, he got beaten up. He goes to beat Shreya. Suyash stops Bhanu. Falguni scolds him. Bhanu says she is my slave, she took much loan from me. Suyash pays him 20 lakhs and asks him not to show his face again. Shreya says no Bhanu, you won't take money from them. Bhanu insults her. He frees her and goes. Shreya says no, you can't go. Falguni stops her and asks why are you stopping him, he has just hurt you. Shreya says I m not related to you all, why did you give money to Bhanu. Falguni says you are our responsibility, you will stay here, we will take care of you. Uttara gets shocked.
She gets angry and asks Jayant not to take side of Suyash and Falguni, they got mad. He asks are you hurt that you lost 20 lakhs. She says yes, what will people say if Shreya stays here. He says no, I just thought they took the decision, we should be glad that they are together. Uttara says so much is happening here, Shreya should have gone if she had some shame. Shreya says let me go, if I stay here, your family will hear many things. Falguni says we will manage. Chiku cries for Shreya. Shreya says Falguni and Suyash have sent Bhanu forever. Chiku hugs Suyash and shows a family drawing of them. She shows Falguni away. Falguni gets shocked.
Everyone looks for Chiku. Chiku shouts mumma…. and sees Shreya. Shreya sees Chiku and Falguni running on the road, and a truck coming. Chiku gets in front.

On the way downtown Tuesday, a Muni driver waited a bit at one Page Street stop to allow a man running with toddler in arms to catch the bus. "I don't give up," said the man, huffing and puffing after his hustle. "You can't give up," said the driver. "This is a day not to give up."
A few minutes before, waiting in line to vote, I was surprised that my emotions were all het up, as though I could have burst into tears at any moment. An older election worker spoke in a strong Russian accent; could he have imagined, 30 years or so ago, being here on the job, making sure American democracy worked? A cab pulled up and its driver got out and waited for a few minutes before apparently deciding it would take too much time. He drove off without casting his ballot. The rest of us waited, many leafing through our booklets, wading through the propositions. Just another election; it was a great moment.
Meanwhile, the shadows of Halloween linger. Dan Fost, a fellow Chronicle writer, says that when he went through his 5-year-old's trick-or-treat bag -- in San Rafael -- he discovered a yellow business card affixed to a bag of peanut M&M's: "LOSE WEIGHT FOR THE LAST TIME! Safe, natural, doctor recommended ..." Shame on you, whoever put that there. Halloween, not being a Jewish holiday, should have nothing to do with guilt.
And a firsthand observer says that the most generous Halloween giveaway he knows of is on one court in the Blackhawk Country Club, where Tom and Roxanne Aitchison give out more than 2,000 one-pound bags of M&M's every year; their neighbors Jim and Christine Korkos "even pass out wine to the adult trick-or-treaters."
On the other hand, in North Beach, the Grim Reaper and Witch With Princesses sent an unhappy report that although neighboring merchants had plenty of candy to give out, at around 6:30 Halloween night, the candy store Z. Cioccolato put a sign in the window saying there was no more candy for trick- or-treaters. But Josh, who works behind the counter there, said $200 worth of candy already had been given out at that point. "When I was a little kid," said Josh, "my mom would have whupped me if I ever thought about going into a business."
P.S.: Laura Buffi overheard a 10-year-old girl (apparently fast approaching adolescence) talking to her father while trick-or-treating: "Dad, I know what you should have been for Halloween ... a butthead."
Last week's on-air phone call from Howard Stern to Ronn Owens, who was interviewing FCC chair Michael Powell, is being etched into broadcasting history. Owens says it's been reported in more than 700 publications and was mentioned on "Saturday Night Live." Furthermore, he's heard from the Museum of Television and Radio, which wants a tape of the broadcast for its permanent collection.

Musician Ben Harper; actress Laura Dern, very pregnant; and three kids had lunch at Pascal Rigo's Galette on Fillmore Street on Sunday-before-last. National mags said Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey celebrated their second anniversary at an undisclosed hideaway, but it's hereby disclosed that it was the Carneros Inn, and they had an entourage of 19 on hand to shoot it.
P.S.: Elsewhere in the world of beverage consumption, at Moose's one night, the entrepreneurs planning the Element Lounge on Polk Street were introduced to Johnny Love, who needed some shots of a fictional nightclub being born for a movie he's making. Love will shoot the real-life Element opening on Nov. 12.

Mayor Gavin Newsom stood in for Kimberly Guilfoyle Newsom at last weekend's scholarship awards ceremonies at the Chicana/Latina Foundation at City College. Newsom's well-received remarks included no racy description of his spouse, but when foundation director Olga Talamante gave the mayor a red rebozo for his wife, he promptly put it on. (Thank goodness the New York tabs were out of the loop on this; they would have described him as a cross-dresser. )
Herbert Breslin and Anne Midgette's "The King & I," an account of Luciano Pavarotti's career by his former manager, describes Pavarotti's friendships with San Francisco Opera Artistic Director Kurt Herbert Adler and his successor, Terry McEwen. The tenor opened McEwen's first season, 1982, in "Un Ballo in Maschera," but a couple of days later, he bailed on Opera in the Park, an announcement that McEwen made quickly to the audience before moving on to the program. "You are a monster," Pavarotti told McEwen afterward. "You should have given them time to show how disappointed they were." Chronicle clips confirm that the reaction "was merely a muted groan. After momentary disappointment, thousands got back to the real business of the day -- eating elaborate picnic lunches, sipping wine and cheering other singers."
Public eavesdropping
"She still wears pink. That's so preschool."
Young mother quoting her oldest child's description of her youngest child, overheard at the Boulangerie at Cole and Parnassus by Beth Hughes.
