If you've ever wondered what $60 of macarons looks like… this is it. I literally planned to spend $30 max at Zumbo's "Zumboron Day", but in the frenzy of flavour-choosing, i went OTT. I'm most excited about trying the baklava, custard crunch, gin & tonic, finger bun, PB & J, rice pudding (they had it last year but it's amazing), redskin (same story), licorice and margarita pizza.

Grade point method kept grad from salutatorian recognition
Weymouth High School graduate Joshua Goldman is among the best and brightest
students who live on the South Shore.
He achieved a perfect test score of 800 in mathematics on the SAT and helped
some of his peers understand number concepts while tutoring them.
Joshua graduated second in his class of 430 seniors, but did not deliver the salutatorian address during the June 9 graduation ceremony.
"Over the past week, he found out that he had actually been second in his
class and thus should have spoken as salutatorian at the commencement," said
Jessica Goldman, Joshua's brother, in a written statement to the News. "I am
shocked that the high school can so easily overlook someone who has put such
time and effort in his studies and deny him his moment at graduation."
Joshua learned he finished second in his class upon receiving a phone
message from Weymouth High Principal Marilyn Slattery last week.
"I don't understand how a high school administration does not know what a
student's grade point average is until after graduation," Jessica Goldman
told the News on Monday. "They called, left a message for my younger
brother, and said that you graduated second in the class, not third, and if
you have any questions, call the school."
Joshua could not be reached for comment before press time.
"I know he is disappointed," Jessica Goldman said. "He worked so hard to be
at that (grade point) level. He would have liked to have spoken at the
Assistant Superintendent of Schools Mary Jo Livingstone said that a senior's
class rank upon graduating is determined at the end of the third term.
"When the grade point calculations were done at the end of the third marking
term, Joshua was ranked third in his class," Livingstone said on Tuesday.
"The reason it is done that way and we don't wait until the fourth term
grades are calculated is because there would not be enough time to notify
the (perspective) class valedictorian and salutatorian."
She said that administrators don't have the final grade point averages
tabulated until the day before graduation exercises.
"The fourth term grades close after the final exams are given," Livingstone
said. "These exams, along with makeup final exams, have to be scored, and
the results are not known until the day before graduation. There would not
be enough time to chose the valedictorian and salutatorian at that point."
She said that administrators determine a student's eligibility to be
valedictorian and salutatorian at the end of the third term to give them
time to prepare a speech.
"There are no plans to change the process," Livingstone said. "It would not
be fair to the students because a student needs time to prepare a speech if
named valedictorian or salutatorian. A student would not have enough time to
prepare a speech in just one day."
She said that a student's class rank changes little when the fourth term
grades are calculated.
"We don't recall ever having an event like this," Livingstone said.
She said that the school committee will salute Joshua's academic
accomplishments when it meets at Weymouth High School on June 28 at 7:30
"The Goldmans have been invited to come to the next school committee
meeting so we can recognize Joshua publicly for graduating second in his
class," Livingstone said.
Committee Chairman Sean Guilfoyle agreed that it is important to recognized
Joshua's accomplishments.
"Once we found out about what happened, we felt as a committee that Joshua
should be recognized," Guilfoyle said on Tuesday. "It is very important to
do so. I feel bad for Joshua with the grades closing so late in the school
year. He worked awfully hard to get to where he is at academically. The only
way to make things right is to recognize him at our next meeting to give him
the congratulations he deserves from the committee."

FirstEnergy to Deactivate 2 Area Power Plants
Washington PA
Observer Reporter
9 July 2013
By Bob Niedbala, Staff Writer
FirstEnergy Corp. announced Tuesday it plans to deactivate two coal-fired power plants in Washington and Greene counties because of the high cost of bringing them into compliance with Environmental Protection Agency standards.
Mitchell Power Station in Union Township, Washington County, and Hatfield's Ferry Power Station near Carmichaels, Greene County, are scheduled to close Oct. 9, resulting in the layoffs of 380 employees – 174 at Hatfield's Ferry, 77 at Mitchell and the remainder in generation-related and support positions.
Eligible employees will get severance packages totaling about $16 million.
"The closures are based on the cost of compliance with current and future environmental regulations as well as the low market price for electricity," said Stephanie Thornton, spokeswoman for FirstEnergy, the Akron, Ohio-based parent of West Penn Power.
She cited the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, which have already been implemented and limit mercury emissions, as well as regulations expected in the next couple of years. Thornton added that prices for electricity have remained low the past few years, and are projected to remain low for the next three years.
The cost for FirstEnergy to comply with the MATS regulations is estimated at $925 million, Thornton said. About 30 percent of those costs, or $278 million, would be required to bring Hatfield's Ferry and Mitchell into compliance, she said.
The cost of upgrading older, coal-fired plants is high. Mitchell was built in 1949 and Hatfield's Ferry, in Monongahela Township, opened in 1969. They have a total capacity of 2,080 megawatts, a formidable 10 percent of the company's generating capacity.
PJM Interconnection, the transmission operator that controls the areas where Hatsfield's Ferry and Mitchell exist, will review the shutdowns for any reliability impacts.
Larry Spahr hopes that his town, and the immediate vicinity, will remain economically viable. He is a supervisor in Union Township, which will lose tax revenues as the host community of the Mitchell station.
But he is more concerned about the loss of jobs.
"It's their livelihood," Spahr said. "Many of the employees down there are from Monongahela, New Eagle and Charleroi."
Bob Whalen, president of Utility Workers Union of America Local 102, could not be reached for comment.
Political response was swift and angry Tuesday.
"This is devastating for our region. That's 380 people who will be without jobs, 380 families that are going to be impacted by this," said state Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Jefferson Township.
The closings, she said, could have a "domino effect," particularly in an area such as Greene County, where coal is integral to the economy.
Snyder said she had sent emails to coal operators in the area Tuesday morning in an attempt to gauge the impact of the closing on their operations.
"We are the heart of the coal industry and I'm very concerned about how this is going to impact our local coal mines and coal mining jobs … the long-term repercussions are still unknown," she said.
Snyder said it will be her top priority to make sure programs are available to assist the displaced employees and to ensure the closings do not have an impact on the reliability of the electrical grid.
U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, chairman of the House Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee, lamented the deactivations while criticizing the Obama administration.
"This is devastating for those families who had good jobs and for the communities they live in," Murphy, R-Upper St. Clair, said in a telephone interview Tuesday.
"What this also is is this administration saying it is going to ignore any efforts by power companies to invest in cleaner plants and, in fact, punishing power plants for investing huge amounts in cleaning up.
"I spoke to the president and he said he prefers clean coal. But (with this announcement), it's clear that's not the way it is."
The closing of Hatfield's Ferry will come just 3 1/2 years after FirstEnergy's predecessor, Allegheny Power, invested $650 million in the plant to install scrubbers to remove sulfur dioxide and mercury from the emissions. The scrubbers came online in late 2009.
The scrubbers, however, will not do enough to help the plant meet new emission standards, Thornton said, "It would still need additional investment to comply with regulations."
Mitchell does not have scrubbers.
Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey was as hot as Murphy over the closure announcement. He said in a news release: "These unemployed Pennsylvanians are unfortunate casualties in the president's 'War on Coal,' which I will continue to fight against in the Senate … coal-fired plants also have gone to impressive lengths to reduce emissions. Nevertheless, the Obama administration continues to implement policies that will make energy more expensive."
State Rep. Rick Saccone, R-Elizabeth, blistered the EPA over what he considers to be its overregulation of coal, while also criticizing the administration.
"Our nation's activist EPA has once again hurt our workers and our local economy," he said. "This is another skirmish with the current administration and its 'War on Coal.'"
State Sen. Tim Solobay, D-Canonsburg, said in another news release that "the federal government is costing real people real jobs by pushing ahead with theoretical power-plant standards. Forcing the closure of reliable power plants will drive up the price of electricity for consumers and do little to improve the environment."
The Sierra Club has a different view.
"This is good news for communities in Southwestern Pennsylvania who will benefit from healthier air and cleaner water," Tom Schuster, Pennsylvania campaign representative for the environmental organization, said in a release.
Randy Francisco, the club's organizing representative in Western Pennsylvania, said: "These plants are both over 40 years old and have been making people sick for too long. Retiring the Mitchell plant and ceasing to dump dangerous coal ash in unlined pits will mean the Monongahela River can continue on its path to a vibrant recovery and families will have safer water to drink."
Patrick Grenter, head of an environmental watchdog group, was not surprised by the planned plant closures.
"I think (they) basically reflect the change in the view of the reality of coal. It's truly a fuel of the past," said Grenter, executive director of the Center for Coalfield Justice, a downtown Washington organization that addresses environmental issues related to fossil fuel extraction.
Grenter said he can appreciate the high cost of operating an environmentally efficient coal-fired plant, but that doing so is necessary.
"Those are the costs of preventing people from getting sick, from dying, from streams and air being polluted. Finally, steps are being taken to make companies internalize instead of externalize these costs.
"As this happens, we're seeing that coal is not economically viable."
Staff writer Scott Beveridge contributed to this report.

The Standard of Excellence in decorative lighting. A unique collection reflecting the talents of Far Eastern and European artisans combined with the creative efforts of American craftsmen. Authentic, time honored designs reproduced with meticulous attention to detail and color in the old world manner. Striking traditional and transitional creations blending techniques and materials of the past to meet the dictates of today's designs. These lamps grace the homes of those who demand unerring quality and consummate good taste.
Constantly seeking artware of uncommon beauty and distinction, Wildwood designers travel the world over to find glorious Kutani Porcelains from Japan, elegant lead crystals from Germany and Florentine tole ware from Italy. But each lamp is still individually inspired and created by hand. With great care the lamps are richly embellished with hand finished mountings, handsome hardware accents and a wide repertoire of shade treatments to complement form and function. A Wildwood lamp truly yields the promise of beauty to be cherished for years to come.
History of Wildwood
It was 1900. Mr. W.A. Bulluck left the farm and founded a retail furniture store in the small Southern town of Rocky Mount, in North Carolina. (The store included an undertaking and embalming parlor, as was often the custom for furniture stores in the south) The business prospered and was eventually taken over during the depression by his son-in-law, Hatcher Kincheloe.
In 1962 Bulluck's grandson, Bill Kincheloe, came home from college and soon took over management of the store. There was a special department for lamps and lampshades which held a fascination for him and he developed the process of making customized lamps at the request of some of the customers.
By 1969 a small line of quality handcrafted lamps had been created, using "in house" produced and finished wood parts and some components bought from importers. A furniture rep commented one day that he could SELL these lamps to other stores. He was given the line, it was photographed, and WILDWOOD was born.
In the 1980's, WILDWOOD expanded to include a vast selection of decorative accessories, floor and wall screens and wall decor, mirrors and a number of eclectic pieces of occasional furniture.
The early 90's found Wildwood with a selection so large that it was deemed advisable to divide it into style categories. There were "Coastal", "Casual", "Southwest" and other sub categories identified and promoted. New catalogs reflected these changes and the business continued to grow. Chandeliers became an important part of the offering; featured were Italian masterpieces in iron, bronze, crystal, antique gold, and others with art finishes on iron and wood.
Then, with the dawn of the new century in sight…2000…the "Millennium"… Wildwood began to recognize that buyer habits and preferences were rapidly changing. The new casual approach to interior decor was firmly entrenched, and there was a generation that wanted to spend less on interiors. Hence MARKETPLACE was born. A lamp line unto itself, with a wide selection that included traditional, transitional, and even contemporary, Marketplace quickly filled a niche in the marketplace and another WILDWOOD star was created.
Now there are two collections of chandeliers. One still features the European masterpieces. And it is complimented by another collection with reproductions at moderate prices and with all the class and detail expected from Wildwood.
The spacious showroom in High Point (now in its 4th expansion) offers display of both chandelier collections as well as 1000 lamp styles and almost 3000 decorative accessories. The WILDWOOD showroom is a must see destination for the discriminating as well as for the store or designer that deals with today's value conscious customer who seeks the "look", the "quality", the "price", and "availability".
ARTWARE – in pure brass, lead crystal, hand decorated porcelain, alabaster, iron, and other fine materials – is painstakingly HAND polished, sanded, painted, antiqued, assembled and wired to insure the high quality and beauty expected from a WILDWOOD Lamp. And Wildwood's designers travel the world, sometimes finding, sometimes creating but always with an eye for the exquisite, the unique, and the beautiful…for lamp making and for decorative accessories of great distinction.
Today, WILDWOOD has further evolved and has endeavored to make a clear distinction between Marketplace and WILDWOOD, the designer oriented resource that can be accessed in most fine furniture stores as well as design showrooms in all major cities. With this new catalog and the unbelievable selection and inventory available for quick delivery, WILDWOOD continues to be recognized as The Standard of Excellence.

What is mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a deadly and aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure. It is a malignant tumor of the covering of the lung or lining of the pleural and abdominal cavities, such as the chest and abdominal cavities. A Zion Mesothelioma lawyer can help you out and review your case if you were exposed to asbestos.
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring heat and fire resistant mineral that has been used in common building materials, including drywall, brake pads, roofing materials, insulation, ceiling tiles, vinyl flooring, stucco, cement board, fireproofing and acoustic materials. Those who work around or handle materials containing asbestos are at the greatest risk of becoming exposed when asbestos particles become airborne.
What types of Mesothelioma are there?
Plural Mesothelioma – Cancer of the mesothelium in the lungs. Every 3 out of 4 people diagnosed with Mesothelioma have this type. It is because most asbestos fibers are inhaled and lodged into the lining of the lungs.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma – Cancer of the mesothelium surrounding the abdomen. This is about 20% of the people diagnosed with Mesothelioma. It is caused by ingesting asbestos fibers.
Pericardial Mesothelioma – Cancer of the mesothelium surrounding the heart. This is the most rare form of Mesothelioma. It is rarely diagnosed while the patient is still living.
Contact Us For a Free Consultation
Why was asbestos used if it was dangerous?
Asbestos has been used in these industries because it's heat and chemical resistant. It's also cheap. For these reasons, asbestos companies concealed the health risks of asbestos from its workers. As more and more people started being diagnosed with mesothelioma, a larger number of legal cases that resulted from asbestos exposure grew.
Asbestos/Mesothelioma trust funds

Life in a Metro movie review
One of the better movies I have seen this year. Directed by Anurag Basu, it's got very good actors – Irfan Khan, Kay Kay Menon and Konkona Sen. And Shilpa Shetty who is not very highly rated in Bollywood did very good. Makes one wonder why she is not in demand …she had a very meaty part in this movie which she carried off very well.
The movie is set in Mumbai, and not the glamorous part of Mumbai. The drama unfolds on the busy streets, the train stations, the buses, a middle class apartment, a chawl…there are no glitzy houses, sexy dances or dancing on the Swiss Alps. No protagonist sings either…the music comes to us in the form of a rock band….some derelict looking guys hanging around on the streets playing their songs. I didn't find the music intrusive, like some did…in fact whats usually intrusive in a Bollywood flick is if the actors suddenly break out into a song. Here the singers were not part of the story, their music was haunting and beautiful, the lyrics romantic and philosophical and underlined the stories that were playing out.
The movie has multiple stories, and all the characters seem real, very Indian and some very original. Shruti (Konkana Sen Sharma) the working girl who is a virgin at 30 scouring the site shaadi.com for a mate, 38-year old Monty (Irfan Khan), also a virgin who cannot help ogle at every girl he sees, Ranjit (Kay Kay Menon) the stereotypical male chauvinist having some sex on the side who becomes enraged and unforgiving when he finds out that his wife Shikha (Shilpa) is seeing another man. As for the beautiful Shikha, she is the obedient Indian wife who tries desperately to be faithful.
The story of Neha (Kangana Ranaut) and Rahul (Sharman Joshi) was too famliar to be entertaining. Not only is the story (an ambitious employee pimping for his boss to get a promotion) a rip-off from the Hollywood flick The Apartment, there has been a Bollywood movie on the same theme.
The one story that didn't quite jell was about Amol (Dharmendra) who rekindles a college romance with Vaijanti (Nafisa Ali). There was something artificial in the way their story was told and frankly it was dull as well. The other couples were lively, witty, and their stories so full of twists and turns. It was almost as if the director or the writer couldn't understand what these two had in common after spending a lifetime apart. It was also rather pathetic to see the swashbuckling Dharmendra of yore playing this silly role.
Overall however, the director has intertwined these multiple stories very well, and there is no disconnect as he switches from one to the other. The editing is mostly very tight, the cinematography superb.
There are some sad moments, and some funny moments and no sickening melodrama. And the end is happy.
The performances of Irfan Khan, Konkana Sen Sharma, Shilpa Shetty, and Kay Kay are very good and make the movie worth a watch. Definitely not a movie to be missed. But it is an adult movie, not because of any sex scenes or violence, but because the theme of the movie is love and sex. Sex and romance…in the city.

Agree with you wholeheartedly. This movie is definitely worth seeing. All actors were superb, especially Kon Kona Sen Sharma and Irrfan. They brought in light comic relief and kept a good pace for the film. Shilpa was wonderful also. Hated Kay Kay Menon's character which means he did an awesome job.

havent seen this movie yet..happnd to hear a song .. 'o meri jaan'

I didnt understand the fuss about people finding it lame. Its a faboulous movie and for God's sake if you dont come out of the hall with atleast a pint of good feeling, you're a loser!
Bhaskar permalinkMay 30, 2007 3:58 pm
Fantastic movie! Its a movie whose characters you can see everyday in your "metro" The story is never boring and the different shades of emotions are very well potrayed through all the charaters in the movie…Irfan Khan was amazing, not that his role had the comic element…but his rendering of the dialogues were simply amazing..Hats off!!
SANDHYA permalinkMay 30, 2007 9:28 pm
A movie with konkana sen will always be a must see
iam her die hard fan
and yes the movie was excellent
khushi permalinkJune 5, 2007 12:33 am
its nice movie,,, and very real story,, it show reality in a decent way,,, not a cheap way……shilpa is looking hot…………………
Lallu Ram permalinkJune 15, 2007 6:54 am
A very nice movie and I agree whole heartedly with the reviewer about his judgement on the song situation in the film. I think most of the senior reviewers are still obsessed with the routine hindi film style formula of song and dance popping up almost anywhere. Great music by Pritam and he should refrain from copying english rock tunes.

The spirit of Miu Miu is captured by two celebrated young actresses of the moment, in photographs by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos, French co-stars of Palme d'Or-winning Blue Is The Warmest Colour, embody the feminine optimism of the 2014 Resort collection with smouldering charm.
Five flirtatious compositions capture their candid chemistry: an arm casually slung over a shoulder, leaning together in a mirrored pose, casually reclined across each other on the floor.

What's New Year's Eve without possums? The RidicuList ponders a ruling that could stop a 19-year tradition in North Carolina.
Post by: Anderson Cooper

What a shame they won't be having the possum drop. I go every year. It's the most patriot event going and when they release the possum he runs off to the hinterlands to live another day. There is always a good crowd of people there and Opie the drug free possum circulates among the crowd. Surely PETA has more pressing issues to deal with.

"Thank you for watching WUWT-TV" (2012-11-16). Anthony Watts pats himself on the back for his anti-Gore Skype-athon.
He "won on science"! As opposed to logic or coherence. Which is why Senator Inhofe and Lord Monckton were booked on Anthony's gong show.
Everyone who watched the Climate Reality broadcast was a computer "bot" set to reload every ten seconds! Denial science proves it.
His amateur 24 hours were "illustrative of the disparity between the well funded "haves" [communist environmentalists] and "have nots" [noble denialists]"! Which of course brings up the question that Anthony's leaving pretty vague: what did his little show cost and who paid for it?
That Reality Drop video that says Not a Single Legitimate Scientific Body Disputes [AGW] is hilarious!
Whatever. Go to Reality Drop and see how quickly Anthony's defiant house of cards collapses.

Today's Music: ZZ Ward – Move Like You Stole It
Well, the end of the week is finally here.Or as I like to call it, the beginning of the good part of the week. And how did I try and improve the not so good part? Why, by reading blogs of course! Here's some of what I saw…
Budget Cooking Blog has expanded his garden. Kayjai wrote a love letter to New Foundland, and And ButImBeautiful told us about the Sorceror's tampon.
Thanks to them, and everyone else, for some very interesting posts this week!
But it can't all be about cucumbers and tampons. There are also polls! Well, one poll really. From last week, when we asked about how to deal with bugs. Here's what you said. (As always my comments are itchy in italics.)
By invites to my neighbours house, the little buggers, no not the bugs 🙂 Andro
(Ah, then you're referring to "pests".)
By the use of my Anti-Bug-Invader suit of course 🙂 Andro
(Glad to see lime green polyester leisure suits still have their uses!)
Sporting a wonderful mix of sunscreen, deer, and campfire smoke. myjampackedlife
(It makes the elevator seem so cozy…)
A flamethrower and napalm. (Madame Weebles)
(There you go, doing things in half measures again.)
I have an extremely wicked catapult 🙂 Andro
(Be a shame if a bug bit it…)
Oh that's easy, just giving them directions to the neighbours house 🙂 Andro
(Crap. I didn't realize I was your neighbor.)
By zapping them of course 🙂 Andro
(I'm too nervous to check Urban Dictionary to see what "zapping" means.)
Wait… What?!?!? Those listening devices I keep finding? Janet
(I heard you as you were typing that.)
Just drowned 'em singing "We're Not Gonna Take It" (true story) – Marie Nicole
(Proving once again that truth is stranger than fiction.)
By never going outside–Lily In Canada
(Why would anyone want to be outdoors in Canada? Bleagh.)
Maybe we're putting illegal pesticides around the house (earwigs)
(Maybe the police are monitoring this blog for people just like you?)
Playing them last summer's hit "Call Me Maybe" – The Waiting
(Woah! Overkill!)
Electric bug swatter. Made in China. (Stacy)
(I can get you one from India for 39 cents less!)
brickhousechick says, I use a use a Jolt Bug Zapper Racket! They work!
(I think you've drank enough Jolt…)
it's winter in sydney. I'm in the right hemisphere – Steph Rogers
(they're dreaming of you while they hibernate.)
By NOT watching the Michael Shannon flick of said name. Cripes!
(I thought that was a documentary…)
Shaved my cat. Bugs go after her now.
(After shaving your cat, I'd think the bugs would be the least of your worries!)
I've invited them all over to my house — you guys have a bug-free summer! Linda Vernon
(I'll make sure they write their names in their bathing suits!)
I just eat the bugs… PMAO
(Are you crashing Linda's cookout again?)
Spiders for flies, birds for spiders, cats for birds… thematticuskingdom
(Where do you keep the hungry old lady?)
Away? Funk that… I join them. It's the only way. thematticuskingdom
(And thus does the Zombie Insect Apocalypse begin…)
Beer. The slugs drink it then die, leaving the strawberries for me. WG
Never venture outside, wait is that possible?
(I haven't been able to tear my self from my computer long enough to find out…)
You mean, people actually go outside? Say it ain't so! —Addie
(Well, people do. But they're hippies.)
(And iPhone users.)
bugs love the smell of soap.I will give up washing until winter (SnB)
(Best cover story for laziness ever!)
kalashnikovs. (Try to aim as good as you can…) NBI
(Wimp! The real pros use bows and arrows.)
I have Igor eat them – Rutabaga
(And he'd like to have a word with you about that…)
They don't mess with me. Not sweet enough.. Elyse 54.5
Not showering! Miss Lou
(I think most of the people on my subway use the same strategy.)
Playing Slim Whitman music because it worked against the Martians (Frank)
(It works against humans too.)
Go somewhere cold. In other words, stay home. Kanerva
(I want to live in an ice cream shop too!)
I put out dishes filled with alcohol and voila – drunk bugs. It's awesome. Kayjai
(I find that hard to believe. You, sharing the alcohol?)
Congratulations to Elyse 54.5 for this weeks winning answer. Because if you've hung out at all with her online, you know that's so untrue, it's funny. And from the offered choices, the most popular was Flamethrower! (At last – an excuse to use it!). So congrats to all you arsonists that couldn't be bothered with a simple citronella candle.
Good times…. But what would happen if next week, there was no poll? (Relax, it's hypothetical.) But what would you do? That's this weeks poll. Answer as often as you like, but do it by 2359 EST on Wednesday, 17 July, because that's when this one closes.(And if you leave an "Other" answer, leave a way to identify you, and I'll link back next week.)
And until next week (settle down. I expect to be here), just add this to "Possible ways for El Guapo to die with a smile on his face" pile.
Have a great week, y'all!

It's the start of the PSLE today. In a week's time, the examination will be over, and it also means that my elder child would have completed his 6 years of primary school education. How time flies! While I was packing up our old photo albums, I couldn't help but laughed at how cute he looked when he was in primary one ;)
As the examination drew closer, I found myself more relaxed. I believe I have finally reached the S4 level as a 'leader' based on the Situational Leadership model (by Kenneth Blanchard and Paul Hersey) and my child as a 'follower' has moved to the D4 level (someone with high competence, high commitment – experienced at the job, and comfortable with their own ability to do it well, may even be more skilled than the leader.)
Two months ago, I noticed my elder child began to pick up momentum in his preparation for the exam. He demonstrated a zealous attitude in wanting to do well...he planned out his revision schedule and time tables, and even set his own targets for each subject. I didn't even have to sit down side by side with him to go through his work. He did his revision mostly by himself. Whenever I felt guilty, I would spend a few moments of my time just to check that he was doing ok on his own. When it was down to 4 weeks before the D-day, I was too preoccupied with the planning of my home renovation. I am glad that without my close supervision, he was still able to study hard, real hard, I must say, for he is still a child. Sometimes, I even joked that it was as though he was preparing for some university entrance exams...you will be amazed with the piles and stacks of files, assessment books, etc, lying all over our house. As the day drew even closer, I found myself giving him lots of hugs everyday...I am so pleased with his learning attitude. My role as a 'coach' now, is to keep encouraging and assuring him that he will be fine. Very often, he worries that he won't pass with good grades...he lacks self-confidence. So I have to tell him, with the effort he has put in, I am sure even if the end result is not as expected, he won't live with regrets. I hope he understand what I meant when I told him..."The process is more important than the results. Some other people may think otherwise, but to mama, your learning attitude is more important than anything else, and I want you to hold these values with you all the way to your adulthood." I know very well his limits and potential. I don't expect him to pass with flying colours (it will be a miracle), but I am assured that he won't do too badly either. What more can I ask for?

Dessert in a Box
Place the bread box in the oven (preheated to 180 degC) for around 10mins or until the surfaces turn golden brown. Heat up a non-stick pan. Over medium to low heat, toast the bread cubes until they turn golden brown. Note: You can also toast the cubes together with the bread box in the oven, turn the cubes around so that all the surfaces are golden browned. Leave to cool off a little.

This month, the Oak Ridge City Council will establish your property tax rate for 2014 via the approval of our annual city budget. And though it appears that taxes will remain flat, our excessive spending levels are unsustainable and continue to hinder our ability to compete with surrounding communities.
In spite of all the new developments happening as of late, if council approves the budget as proposed, residents and businesses will continue to feel the financial crunch for quite some time. Not only will we retai n one of the highest property tax rates in the state, but we'll also retain one of the largest per capita debt levels in the region. (At nearly $7,000 per person, we have more than four times that of Knox County residents and over seven times that of City of Knoxville residents). A dozen more chicken places and grocery store relocations won't make a dent in the average Oak Ridger's bills.
If we are to make any kind of progress, we need a strategy that aims to increase revenue while reducing expenditures. This column will focus on increasing our revenue base. I will address budgetary inefficiencies and waste in a follow up piece next week.
SOLUTION #1: Convert City-Owned Assets into Taxable Properties
We must first examine our existing assets to distinguish those which produce the highest benefit to the taxpayer from those that do not. The City of Oak Ridge's most valuable assets are contained within some 17,000+ acres of non-DOE land.
Of that land, the city owns approximately 150 parcels, many of which contain neither schools nor city facilities and are clearly more of a liability than an asset to the taxpayer. If we were to sell some of them, we could apply the profit to our debt and use the perpetual new property taxes to reduce everyone's property tax rate. None of the following suggestions would reduce our 3,448 acres of greenbelt and parklands; on the contrary, one might argue that such actions would help to preserve those areas.
The most obvious first choice is to sell the golf course. The city borrowed $7.3 million to build it in 1998 and we still owe over $4 million. Even if we had to sell it at a loss, we'd realize an immediate annual savings of $500,000 of debt service payments that we would otherwise continue paying through 2021.
As I've stated before, the city should also cancel its lease with the Chamber of Commerce and sell our land. According to chamber president Parker Hardy, they pay the city roughly $600 per year to lease the land and "the building will become the city's should the lease not be renewed." Given that it is one of the most prime pieces of real estate in town, I'm tempted to personally stick a For Sale sign on the corner and see what kind of response I get.
We also own a vacant building in Commerce Park similar to a $1.5 million building located next door. To my knowledge, it produces neither rent nor any other form of revenue. Allowing it to continue to sit empty is unacceptable.
Finally, the city has accumulated a number of residential properties through a blight acquisition program. Instead of sitting on them indefinitely via a land bank or turning them into community gardens as some have suggested, let's put them up for auction the day after the properties are razed and return them to a taxable status.
SOLUTION #2: Eliminate Tax Abatements
In addition to city owned land, there are another 300 parcels that produce little-to-no revenue for the city because of their tax-exempt status. Data is limited because appraisals are not done on most exempt properties. However, the data that does exist suggests that the value of the non-church properties could easily range from $200-$300 million.
At least $100 million of that exempt property is owned by for-profit businesses that have received tax abatements from the Industrial Development Board (IDB) via their Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILT) program. The purpose of this program is to boost our competitive advantage and, in turn, boost our economy. However, these arrangements may actually be eroding our tax base.
The selling point of most PILTs hinges on a promised increase of jobs which are projected to bring in millions of dollars in residual revenue from the new employees. The annual reports of about 10 companies show that only 35% of those jobs have materialized and very few of the employees live in our city.
It's time that the city re-examine this program. That $100 million, if taxed at the full commercial rate, equals at least $1 million in property taxes. That $1 million, if fully realized, is the equivalent of eleven cents on the tax rate. Why not make all of Oak Ridge more financially competitive via a property tax reduction instead of picking and choosing winners?
SOLUTION #3: Alleviate Forced Subsidization of Nonprofits
Exempt property owners, their employees and their patrons receive many of the same services as their non-exempt contemporaries. Our police and fire departments are obligated to respond and assist regardless of whether or not those in need pay for their services. The use of our roads and parks are unrestricted. Visitors and residents alike can walk into our local library and read to their hearts' content. In other words, those who pay the full tax rate are subsidizing those who do not.
There is a partial solution to this inequity found through a different type of PILT than the one Oak Ridge has typically used. Cities across the country have successfully negotiated voluntary PILTs from exempt entities such as hospitals, universities and cultural nonprofits. Boston has proven to be the most successful so far. Their city website reports that for 2010, they collected $14 million from universities and hospitals and another $17 million from miscellaneous foundations and organizations.
The notion of collecting PILTs from nonprofits is likely not without precedent in Tennessee since our laws specifically address such agreements. TN Code Annotated 67-5-209 allows for an exempt hospital to "agree to the payment of tax equivalents to the creating or participating governing authority…" Shouldn't those with the ability to pay do so?
Conservative estimates indicate that there are hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of untaxed property whose nonprofit owners may be both able and agreeable to similar arrangements. Consider Methodist Medical Center, Oak Ridge Utility District, Tech 2020, Roane State Community College (to whom you recently donated an additional $500,000 to expand their campus) or the University of Tennessee properties. Given their benevolent missions, wouldn't they want to pay their fair share? We won't know if we never ask.
When Oak Ridge loses or gains revenue, so do our host counties. Mayor Terry Frank recently called for the exploration of "new ways of increasing revenue" and "partnering with organizations to meet these challenges." The City of Oak Ridge should accept her invitation and also engage Roane County officials in order to identify and convert our shared underperforming assets, examine the necessity of continuing with the IDB program and negotiate for remuneration from those nonprofits that can afford to pay for some of the services they currently receive at the taxpayer's expense.
I have instructed our city manager to include these three initiatives on our agenda for the May 13th city council meeting. I am hopeful that my fellow councilmembers will acknowledge the excessive financial burden that has been placed on our constituents and will be open to taking the necessary measures to alleviate that burden. As with all of our meetings, I will post the results and votes on my website, trinabaughn.com.
Likewise, I ask you, our citizens, to make your voices heard. Change won't happen overnight, but, with your help, it will happen. Contact your elected representatives, submit your own ideas to the papers and attend our meetings. Email addresses for all can be found at cortn.org and ortn.edu. I can be reached directly at email@example.com. Together, let's ensure a viable, prosperous future for our Oak Ridge!

But joining Seth Meyers at the "Weekend Update" anchor desk, the popular "Sesame Street" character declined to comment on presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's vow to cut federal funding for PBS. Explaining why, Big Bird said he didn't want to "ruffle any feathers."
He told Meyers how he had learned of being mentioned on Wednesday's debate. He said he'd gotten "a million tweets." From real birds, that is.
Since then, he said he was feeling very famous, standing tall above every other 8-foot talking bird.
In closing, Big Bird shared a joke befitting his childish sense of humor.
Question: Who like debates?
Answer: de-fishes.

Today's News: Our Take - Scandal Postmortem: Josh Malina Cautions That David Rosen May Not Be (Gulp!) Safe
[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday's episode of Scandal. Read at your own risk!]
"Talk about not being able to catch a break!"
Surely Scandal fans everywhere are echoing Josh Malina's sentiments when it comes to poor David Rosen, who has spent much of the season being screwed over left and right as he tried to uncover the truth that Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) and others had rigged the presidential election.
VIDEO: Scandal's Guillermo Diaz reveals more "What the Huck?!" moments
But executive producer Shonda Rhimes and the Scandal writers kicked David when he was down: After publically losing his job and everything he holds dear, David woke up next to a dead woman, more specifically, a dead reporter named Wendy who was trying to get information on Defiance from him. But the once white-hat-wearing David did not, in fact, kill Wendy; he was framed. With the help of Olivia, he was able to uncover that Wendy was in possession of classified information - like the coordinates to all six of the President's war-time bunkers - that leads to the conclusion that there's a mole somewhere in the White House.
How will David and Olivia be able to uncover this new scandal? And is David really off the hook for Wendy's death? TVGuide.com turned to Malina to get the scoop on what's ahead, including whether David and Abby (Darby Stanchfield) are really meant to be. Check it out:
David Rosen has really been beaten up this season! Will he ever get his mojo back?
Josh Malina: First thing's first, because I haven't seen it: How fat do I look? [Laughs] Any time my shirt comes off, I have to watch from between a crack in my fingers. Will he ever get his mojo back? No. I think the answer is nojo to mojo. I'm hopeful that by the end of the season that we'll see David do something right, win some sort of small argument with somebody, wind up with the girl, really anything. A scratch-off lottery ticket where he wins $10 would satisfy my desire to get his mojo back! I will say thus far, I haven't filmed anything like that.
Is David completely off the hook for the frame job, or will that still come back to haunt him?
Malina: Yeah, it's still in the process of working that out. Nothing is resolved yet too cleanly.
The person who framed him is still out there. How will we see that story line ramp up? Will David have any interaction with this person?
Malina: In future episodes, it's not clear whether David is even safe. He certainly begins to have a reasonable fear for his own safety. There may be a greater confrontation in the future, but in the immediate aftermath of what happens in Thursday's episode, he starts to legitimately get a little bit paranoid about things.
Scandal Postmortem: Shonda Rhimes teases what's next for Olivia & Co.
Is it correct to assume that the person who framed him has a connection to the mole?
Malina: The future episodes cast light on that. It'll be dealt with. I can neither confirm nor deny. I can only say that Wendy was onto something or finding her way to information that someone had a vested interest in squashing.
As for the reason why, there was the introduction of the information leak Albatross. So Wendy wasn't necessarily killed over Defiance information, even though she was trying to steal that from David?
Malina: No. It's a reasonable assumption, but as is usually the case, there's more to it than what you might initially assume, including more to it than what the characters assume.
Even though David and Olivia are working together to uncover this mole, can they ever really trust each other?
Malina: No way can he ever really trust her again! Maybe that'll happen in the future, but I can't imagine in the aftermath of all that she and her people have done to him, I don't think 100 percent trust is likely to come. Although, it's interesting to find that in his hour of need, his first reaction is to call her. It's definitely an acknowledgment of her mad skills in the, "Oh God, help me!" department, rather than a rebuilding of full trust.
David has a knack for going off the rails in pursuit of justice. Will we see him do that with the search for the mole? Or has he learned his lesson?
Malina: This is speculation because I don't know the full answer to that, but my guess is calming down isn't really in his playbook. Whether he's right or wrong, or ultimately prevails, I think his reaction to everything that's happened here is likely to be as shoot-from-the-hip and as ardent as the pursuit of everything else we've seen that obsesses him. Even when it comes to self-preservation, he can't help himself.
He is attempting to wear the white hat again, but do you think he really can? He is working with someone who does some illegal things quite often, so will David adopt some of those techniques?
Malina: We're seeing the first shades of grey in this episode. It's his own ass on the line when he wakes up next to a corpse, but he does have them move the body. And before that, he's gone to the door and lied to the cops, so we know that he's innocent and obviously he knows that he's innocent, but that's not what you're supposed to do when you wake up next to somebody you didn't kill! You're supposed to tell the cops everything! It's the first intonation that he will bend the rules or really actually just break the law. I don't know how much worse it will get. In the spectrum of Scandal behavior, this is closer to the goody-goody side than to Cyrus (Jeff Perry), [Laughs] but it is the first hint that it's not absolute black and white for him.
Scandalseduces House's Lisa Edelstein for guest spot
It doesn't seem like things are really over for David and Abby. What's coming up?
Malina: It certainly hasn't been resolved and I don't think it's going to be wrapped up too neatly. In the immediate aftermath of Thursday, we haven't really dealt with it too much, so I don't really know, but I think they will continue down this rocky road.
Even though they constantly lie to each other, do you believe they're meant to be?
Malina: Yeah. It's almost similar - one's platonic and one's romantic and sexual - but there's a similar thing with Olivia. These guys are made to spar, but underneath it all, they respect and kind of love each other. It's a little bit late to rebuild that chemistry. In the last episode, Abby absolutely just lied to his face. He knew she took the card and called her out on it and her answer was that she loves him and didn't take it. When he walks out, four seconds later she's taking the card out! You can't put that genie back in the bottle, but clearly they are meant to be together. Sometimes you f--- up and do something and can't ever get back to Eden.
Crazy theory: David is actually in on the frame job and has used this opportunity to get on the inside of OPA to suss out the truth about Defiance. Thoughts?
Malina: Very interesting. I can neither confirm nor deny, but I like your way of thinking. The last 15 seconds of our conversation would be a great application to write for the show. [Laughs]
Do you think David has really given up on uncovering Defiance?
Malina: I have to believe that it will at least bubble under the surface and erupt again because it's not a small thing. We're talking about the President of the United States, arguably the most powerful person in the world, and whether he really belongs there. I don't think that's the kind of thing that David is going to just put down knowing what he knows. He's put off the track for a little while as he tries to take care of the complete implosion of his own life, but I would be surprised if they just pass that one. I have to believe he's going to return to that.
Do you think David and Abby are meant to be? Are you rooting for him to find the mole? Hit the comments below!

New England Quilt Museum exhibit features works of heart
Quilting is nothing new to Marlborough's Kathy Collins she made her first quilt in 1970 when she was pregnant with her daughter but exhibiting her creations is a first for her.
Now Collins is the Featured Quilter at the New England Quilt Museum in Lowell through July 15.
"The first time I saw it I was just dumbstruck," she said of her exhibit in the museum's recently renovated first-floor space. "I don't put my things in shows, so to see four of them hanging there; it was just wonderful."
Collins learned to sew as a young girl.
"We have a place at the Cape. My friend's mother down there sewed, so, of course, (my friend) sewed. One rainy, icky day she taught me to sew. I made a madras jumper, so that tells you when that was."
Her grandmother also led her to the craft.
"My mother's mother was a quilter. She was my inspiration," Collins said. With eight children - Collins and seven brothers - her own mother didn't sew much. "She didn't do dressmaking but she hemmed."
Collins always loved the hobby, and as a home economics major at Framingham State College, then as a teacher of family and consumer science in Waltham for 30 years, she had plenty of practice. She taught clothing construction for 15 years before moving to Waltham High School as a food and nutrition teacher.
But quilting is something she has always done, for herself and as gifts. "When I started to do quilts, it just sort of took over," she said.
"When each one of my brothers turns 50, I make them a quilt. I only have one left; my baby brother will be 50 next year. They definitely appreciate them. If they didn't, they wouldn't get it."
Collins retired from teaching in 2005. Now there's more time for her favorite hobby.
'I'm quilting more. I quilt every day, sometimes maybe two hours, sometimes six hours. I don't have to get up in the middle of the night (anymore)," she said.
Collins described herself as a traditional quilter, inspired by antique quilts and their time-honored patterns and fabrics. Although she primarily uses a machine for sewing together the many pieces that make up the patterned top, she hand-quilts the layers together, a time-consuming labor of love that produces unique results. When a project calls for applique, a technique of applying fabric shapes on top of a background fabric, Collins usually does this by hand as well.
"I like to do reproductions of antique quilts, seeing an old quilt and figuring out how to do it. I use a lot of books to get ideas, (and) I get ideas about color (from going to quilt shows)," she said.
Mary Walter, shop manager at the New England Quilt Museum and a Southborough resident, was the driving force behind the Featured Quilter exhibits, which started about a year ago.
The renovation of the first-floor space included installing a hanging system in the gift shop. "That gives us the ability to hang quilts in the shop," said Walter. "We hang mini-quilts there during (the Lowell Quilt Festival)."
But Walter felt she could do more with this new exhibition space. "I tried to offset what was going on in the gallery upstairs."
During one recent exhibit upstairs some of the artists wanted an avenue to sell their work. The first floor fit the bill. "A couple of them sold," said Walter.
"It's a nice opportunity for people who don't normally exhibit, or they're not really prolific but have three or four quilts," she said. "Kathy doesn't usually exhibit. She's really somebody who deserves to have a feather in her cap. It's such a pleasure to highlight someone's work.
"(The new space) lends itself to showing something. Having quilts hanging in the shop makes it seem more accessible to visitors," said Walter.
Perhaps Collins will be less intimidated about exhibiting her work in the future.
"I just finished appliqueing a reproduction quilt (from the 1880s). I used fabrics from the quilt museum's collection," she said. "There are 117 circles. It was a huge, huge undertaking. What I'd like to do, if I get done, is put it in Images (the juried show of the Lowell Quilt Festival) next year.
"This was such a project and it turned out well."
The New England Quilt Museum is located at 18 Shattuck St., Lowell.
The work of Kathy Collins will be on exhibit in the first-floor space through July 15. The next exhibit will be of mini quilts available for purchase through a silent auction as part of the Lowell Quilt Festival, Aug. 2 to 5.
The current exhibit in the upstairs gallery through Aug. 19 is "Uncovered in New Hampshire," 30 quilts selected from the hundreds brought to the New Hampshire Quilt Documentation Project. Lenders of quilts in the exhibit include museums, historical societies and individuals.
HOURS: Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., year-round; and Sunday 12 to 4 p.m., May to December only. Closed Mondays and major holidays.
ADMISSION: $5 adults, $4 seniors and students, members free.

Shurtape WP-100 General Purpose Reinforced Paper Tape is a water-activated reinforced tape used for light-duty packaging applications. Its starch-based water-activated adhesive provides an instant, aggressive bond to most corrugated surfaces and becomes part of the box. The fiberglass reinforcing filaments on WP 100 provide excellent tensile strength and optimum security. Recommended for light-duty carton sealing with minimal exposure to handling, shipping, and load stress. Rolls do not come on a core unless specified in size name.
Gummed Paper Tape is used for two strip sealing cartons top & bottom. Water-activated reinforced tapes bond instantly to both non-recycled and recycled fiber (corrugated carton, paper, etc.) surfaces and therefore, generate an immediate destructive bond resulting in a tamper-evident package which prevents pilferage. Starch-based adhesive absorbs dust and bonds securely to the carton. Sealing the seam also acts as a dust barrier. Not affected by extreme hot or cold temperatures. Paper and adhesive are 100% biodegradable. Made in the U.S.
Please note that tape rolls are NOT guaranteed to be splice-free. Tape rolls are typically cut to standard tape industry metric-cut sizes - or approx 5% narrower than the nominal size (i.e. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered).
The following downloads are available for this product:
Single Roll (1-9 Rolls)

Tape rolls are cut to standard tape industry metric widths of approx. 24mm per 1-inch of nominal width ordered. As a result ACTUAL tape widths are normally 5% narrower than the NOMINAL width shown in inches. Examples:

NIU'S Lynch finishes third, sets MAC record
NEW YORK — Northern Illinois University quarterback Jordan Lynch capped a record-setting career with yet another record by placing third in the voting for the Heisman Memorial Trophy to earn the highest finish ever by a Mid-American Conference player.
Lynch, a dual-threat quarterback who led NIU to a 12-0 start and a 24-3 record in two seasons as the Huskies' starter, placed behind only winner Jameis Winston of Florida State and runner-up A.J. McCarron of Alabama.
Winston won the award with 2,205 total points, including 668 first-place votes, while McCarron had 704 points (79 first place) and Lynch collected 558 points and 40 first-place votes.
Boston College running back Andre Williams and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M were fourth and fifth, respectively.
Williams had 470 points and 29 first-place votes while Manziel had 421 points and 30 first-place votes.
The previous best finish by a Mid-American Conference player was fourth place by Randy Moss of Marshall in 1997, when he finished with 253 votes.
Chad Pennington of Marshall placed fifth in 1999 with 247 points.
Although disappointed he did not win the trophy, Lynch realized the significance of achieving the highest finish by a MAC player in Heisman history.
"I came here to win, so I'm kind of disappointed," Lynch said. "But a top-three finish and the best finish in MAC history is a great accomplishment with all the great players who have come through the conference. It's been a great experience spending time with my family and my girlfriend out here, seeing New York City, spending time with the other finalists and meeting the former winners."
Lynch's third-place finish also tied Colt Brennan of Hawaii as the best placing by a player from a non-automatic qualifying conference during the BCS era. Brennan finished third in 2007.
In addition to a third-place finish and finalist plaque, Lynch takes home memories of an incredible weekend in New York City chronicled in detail by his father, Jim, and mother, Sheila.
"It was awesome," Lynch said of meeting a multitude of past Heisman winners. "It's a dream come true to meet those guys. I grew up watching some of them. I sat next to Barry Sanders during the ceremony. He's a great guy."
Lynch will have one last chance to add to his record-breaking career accomplishments when he leads the 12-1 Huskies into the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl versus Utah State on Dec. 26 at Qualcomm Stadium.
The 2013 NIU squad has a chance to become the first Huskie team to win 13 games in a season and Lynch needs 119 rushing yards to become the first player in FBS history to rush for 2,000 yards and pass for 2,000 yards in a season.
In addition to Lynch, his parents and girlfriend, NIU coach Rod Carey, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Bob Cole and NIU Associate Vice President and Director of Athletics Sean T. Frazier represented Northern Illinois at the event, which was televised live on ESPN.
