Hayao Miyazaki is a pioneer of film who paints his stories through the lyrical brush strokes of animation. Born in Japan in 1941, many in the West came to know him first through his film, Princess Mononoke, and later, Spirited Away, which was the first anime film to win an Academy Award. The fact that he's a cinematic genius is undisputed. His stories resonate with their naturalistic themes, his characters having a dignity and humanism that is nearly unparalleled in any medium. In a Miyazaki film, you'll empathize with the monsters just as much as the protagonists. Which was why I was thrilled to find out about Starting Point, a collection of essays and interviews by Miyazaki covering his life and work from 1979-1996. This book review will be split into three parts, each covering different aspects of the book. The first part will start with Miyazaki's descriptions of his earlier life as well as his experiences in the animation industry.
Ironically, the first time I heard about Miyazaki, it was in pursuit of another writer, Neil Gaiman. Gaiman had co-adapted Princess Mononoke for American audiences and an early screening was taking place at the Embarcadero in San Francisco. I was curious what type of film the scribe of Sandman had taken part in. Princess Mononoke was a cinematic experience that defied expectations with its probing of nature vs. technology. No pat answers were available, and the deities of the forest were just as uncannily horrifying (and sympathetic) as the soldiers who sought to exploit them. From there, viewings of the rest of his films followed including Nausicaa, My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, and Porco Rosso.
Starting Point provided inspiration for the man behind the movies with all too relatable stories about the early years of the nascent animation industry in Japan. Some of the pieces are essays while others come in interview form, though the pieces seamlessly blend into one another. Miyazaki's candor throughout is refreshing and at times, surprising. As he reflects on his past, rather than waxing about a golden age, he tells it as he experienced it, complete with long hours, endless sacrifices, and low salaries:
"When we were around twenty-four or twenty-five (years of age), shortly after we started working as animators, we had no guarantees, no prospects, no money, and not even any particular talents. For us the job of being an animator actually depended on one thing and one thing only, and that was having what might be called hope or ambition. So in those days, when animators got together the only thing they ever seemed to talk about was whether they should get out of the business, or whether they might find better work somewhere else."
I found it fascinating that there were so many parallels between CG animation and the 2D animation of decades ago. The struggles and the motivations remain the same. Even the conversations seem to ring in synchronous chords. While some may say animation is still relatively young in the history of entertainment, there are many roots. Starting Point highlights many of the original seeds. Miyazaki talks about his experiences on a TV series, Heidi, to illustrate what compelled him to try to advance animation to another level:
"The reason we always pushed so hard with Heidi is that, even in a medium as commonplace as television, we wanted to provide the children watching our series something that would inspire joy, not just be cute, beautiful, or fun. We wanted to go beyond the limitations of normal television. To do this, I sometimes slept on the floor of the studio, consoling myself with the idea that when we overcame this extraordinary situation, I would be able to sleep in my own bed the next time around. Of course, when we eventually finished producing the series I realized that what had seemed an extraordinary situation wasn't unique. I realized that it would continue on and on. When one series ended, another is waiting."
There are tales of fascinating co-workers, like a workaholic finish inspector who was a maestro when it came to getting shots completed, as well as amusing anecdotes about a director Miyazaki describes as having a nature similar to a 'sloth.' Even in these stories, there are keen insights into human behavior, an honesty that neither glorifies nor condemns. Any of the sketches would make for hilarious animation shorts, and the well from which Miyazaki draws his amusing characters is a testament to his ability as a scientist of human nature. He notices details others would ignore, latches onto physical characteristics of those around him as portals into their personalities. There's an interesting tale Miyazaki tells about his father. During the Japanese invasion of Asia, the commander, in an attempt to raise morale, told the soldiers that anyone who didn't want to go didn't have to.
"But my old man took this statement at face value and announced to the officer,' I have a wife and baby, so I can't possibly go to the front lines.' In those days, saying something like that was unthinkable. A sergeant who had taken him under his wings harangued him for disloyalty for two hours. As a result, my old man ended up being left behind in Japan. And then I was born, so I am grateful on that score."
His descriptions of his interactions with his father resemble the outlines of a comedy highlighted by moments of poignancy. More and more as I read about Miyazaki life, I came to realize that his films were an extension of the joys he took in every day existence. Animation wasn't just a job, wasn't just a way of making money, but an expression of his personality. I think this is best summed up when he describes the key component of animation:
"The most important thing of all, it seems to me, is to have an interest in people, in how they live, and in how they interact with things."
There's a surprising sense of magic in the way Miyazaki views the world, where 'bees can avoid rain drops' and 'birds must be able to see the wind,' and a lot of that stems from his genuine interest in people. At the same time, there is a harsher side that is blunt in the fashion of all great directors. He doesn't like just the pretty, filtered, side of humans, but the darker elements as well. While his dedication to quality is relentless, he doesn't attempt to hide his criticisms. Such is the case when he describes Osamu Tezuka, the creator of Astro Boy, considered by many as the father of Manga, Miyazaki says: "Everything that Mr. Tezuka talked about or emphasized was wrong," because he was trying to emulate Disney, suffering "an inferiority complex, a fear that he would never be able to surpass 'the grand old man.'" Perhaps as a glimpse of why Miyazaki was such a pioneer, he felt it was more important to find his own style and message rather than copy the greats of the time. Miyazaki goes on further to say,
"In 1963, Tezuka created Japan's first TV anime series, Tetsuwan Atom, or Astro Boy¸ at the very low price of 500,000 yen per episode. Because he established this precedent, animation productions ever after have unfortunately suffered from low budgets... Without Tezuka, the industry might have started two or three years later. And then I probably could have relaxed a bit and spend a little longer working in the field of feature animation, using more traditional techniques."
It's rare to get such an honest statement about a revered personage. But that's also part of what makes Miyazaki so compelling and powerful as a filmmaker. He lives his creed, he paints what he believes in, and he doesn't flinch from uncomfortable truths. I found the essays and interviews enlightening, not just for what I learned about Miyazaki's past, but all the things I learned about the early days of animation. There are lessons that are still relevant today and I've found comfort in reading many of these stories, reflecting back on my own early years sleeping at the office and struggling to advance the quality of the work I did. This book is a great starting point in understanding how we got to where we are now.
Part 2 of this Starting Point series will cover Miyazaki's thoughts on his earlier films.

Giant killer hornets have killed 42 people in China since July, leaving more than 1,600 injured and dozens more suffering from multiple organ failure and severe allergic reactions.
But the Asian giant hornets aren't just a problem in China -- they're also found in other countries, including Korea and Japan.
Travelers would do well to know how to behave if they're faced with these deadly creatures (tip: walk away, don't run).
While it's easy to assume that the relevant vaccinations -- and maybe an anti-malarial medication or anti-histamine -- would keep us safe on our overseas travels, such an assumption can be dangerous.
There are plenty of unexpected threats out there that could turn your vacation into a nightmare --- and possibly kill you.
10. Loa loa
This disease is spread by the bite of the innocuous mango fly, but can leave victims with worms crawling out of their eyeballs. (Google "Loa loa" at risk, the images are graphic.)
It's only number 10 on this list because it won't kill, and may not even blind, but it's still pretty freaky.
For travelers to sub-Saharan Africa the best protection method is to cover up with long sleeved clothing and consider using insect repellent.
9. Assassin Bug
The Assassin Bug first finds its sleeping victim using its natural thermal-imaging camera, then a chemo-sensor that can detect carbon dioxide.
Once it lands on the face the bug feeds on blood from the lips or eyelids -- without its victim even knowing it's there. As the insect feeds it also defecates, and that's how a tiny single-celled parasite can leave the assassin bug and enter your bloodstream, leading to Chagas Disease.
Over the years Chagas Disease can lead to the stopping the muscular contractions of the guts, leading to the body filling up with its own waste products, or it may simply cause heart failure. The bite of an infected Assassin Bug supposedly killed Charles Darwin, after decades of suffering.
Although present in the United States, this bug, and the disease it carries, is normally only a problem in Central and South America. Sleep in a romantic thatched beach hut at one's peril, because assassin bugs love making their homes in such places.
8. Botflies
If you knew that there was a large, slow-moving fly at large in South America, and that if it landed on you it was likely to lay eggs onto your skin that would hatch immediately and release larvae that would burrow into your flesh and eat you alive, then you'd probably squash it.
But the botfly has evolved to avoid this response by "kidnapping" other innocuous flies or mosquitoes and laying eggs on them instead of its intended host.
When the "kidnapped" fly lands on the skin, the eggs drop off, larvae burrow into the skin and make it their living dinner -- without the parent fly ever being at risk.
A botfly infestation might not kill, but is messy, and it hurts. Doctors will usually cut out the larvae pustule and prescribe antibiotics to clear it out of the system.
Again, the best protection is to cover up.
7. Intestinal worms, roundworms, hookworms and tapeworms
These creatures rarely kill, but they will cause discomfort and embarrassment. In more severe cases, they can grow in the brain, causing fits and seizures.
Tapeworms are usually contracted when eating under-cooked meat, whereas the larvae of hookworms and roundworms don't even need to be eaten. They can access a body by burrowing through skin, without the victim noticing.
Once in your body, roundworms share their victims' ingested food (although they can also block the intestines). The hookworm, however, feasts on the blood.
Don't eat under-cooked meat and never walk barefoot in developing or tropical countries because the roundworm ascaris lumbricoides is said to infect 75 percent of the world's population.

D.A.R.E. graduates earn certificates
Herald Reporter
Over 100 Woolfolk Middle School seventh graders graduated from the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program last week.
Maj. Tilmon Clifton, with the Yazoo City Police Department, has been working with the students through a series of classroom lessons. Parents, educators and other community leaders celebrated Friday morning as the students were presented their certificates.
The D.A.R.E. program gives kids the skills they need to avoid involvement in drugs, gangs and violence. The nation-wide program was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles.
The program has been implemented in 75 percent of the country's school districts and in more than 43 countries around the world. Woolfolk Middle School has been a part of the program for the past few years, and it has proven to be successful among its students.
Clifton has been very active with the local seventh graders in teaching them how to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------

SATURDAY, March 3, 18839 a. m.The session was opened with prayer by Representative Smith, of Tippecanoe County.
Mr. HEFFREN called up the special order, being the bill [H. R. 466] supplemental to an act to authorize and provide for the erection of a new State House.
Mr HAM moved that the bill and amendments be indefinitely postponed.
Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe, was of the opinion that this is an effort to hand over unfinished to dilapidation and decay the new State House. This means to add not less than $200,000 and probably $1,000,000 extra expense to the State House before it is completed. It means a delay in the completion of the building of from two to five years. It means to take from the State of Indiana at least $1,000,000. It means to leave idle $1,000,000 in the State Treasury. It means legislation to the damage of the people, and not in the interest of the people or the State He desired to eater a protest, not on the Journal, but a protest in debate against this action, and he would leave it for the future to determine whether or not he had protested wisely as to the consequence of this legislation should it be passed. He had not been asleep, he was not blind, he was not deaf, and he would give this a the sequence of what will follow.
Mr GIBSON would not grant that the gentleman from Tippecanoe [Mr. Smith] was not asleep on this question. He desired to say to him that just such speeches were made in the House two years ago. The gentleman from Knox (Mr. Williams] championed these men two years ago when they said they would throw up this contract if the Legislature did not grant them an additional appropriation of $500,000, and the foundation would be left open to the ravages of the weather for the next two years When the members of the Investigating Committee asked Mr. Howard if he would put any more money in the building he avoided the question, and would not answer until chased in to a corner, and then he said he would not. These contractors do not need any more money, for under the present law they can draw 90 per cent. of the price of their work as soon as the estimate is made.
Mr. GIBSON moved the previous question, which was seconded by the House, and under its operations-
The motion to postpone indefinitely was agreed to by the House-yeas, 49; nays, 45-as follows:
Yeas-Messrs Bowers, Bowles, Bryant, Cabbage, Carr, Chandler, Davis, Deem, Eley, Ferriter, Fisher, Fleece, Gants, Gerber, Gibson, Gordon, Graham, Greene, Ham, Kennedy, Kester, McCormick, McMullen, Marsh, Mauck of Harrison, Miller, Mock of Wells, Montgomery, Mutz, Peters, Pruitt, Pulse, Robertson, Robinson, Schloss, Shaffter, Shaw, Smith of Blackford, Smith of Perry, Spain, Stevenson, Stucker, Tuley, Weaver, Whitsit, Williams of Knox, Williams of Posey, Woodling and the Speaker-49.
Nays-Messrs. Adams, Akin, Antrim, Barr,
page: 289[View Page 289]Beeson, Best, Brazelton, Campbell, Chittenden, Frazee, Frazier, Furnas, Genung, Gilman, Hanson, Heffren, Helms, Henderson, Howland, Huston, Jewett, Knowles, McClelland of Lawrence, McClelland of Porter, Mellett, Mering, Moody, Mosier, Nave, Pettibone, Shively, Shockney, Smith of Lagrange, Smith of Tippecanoe, Sterret, Stewart Straughan, Sutton, Thomas, Thompson, Westfall, Wiley, Wilson of Kosciusko, Wilson of Marion and Wright-45.
So the bill was indefinitely postponed.
Mr. GORDON moved to reconsider the vote just taken and to lay that motion on the table.
The latter motion was agreed to.
The bill [S. 236] to fix commutations of terms of sentences on account of good behavior of persons confided in the State's Prisons, was read the third time.
Mr. SMITH, of Tippecanoe, considered this one of the most humane bills that has been before the Legislature, and was heartily in favor of its passage.
Mr. WILSON, of Marion, agreed with the gentleman from Tippecanoe [Mr. Smith], but he questioned the legality of such a measure.
Mr. BOSTON stated that the bill was prepared by the explain of the Northern Prison, together with the Warden. He talked with quite a number of the convicts, and there was not one of them who did not desire the passage of the bill. The officers of the Prison believe that the bill will do snore to further good discipline than anything else that could be done.
Mr. GILMAN believed that the provisions of the bill are good-that it is in the interest of reformation. The discipline of Prisons as now as administered has a tendency to degrade the inmates instead of making them better. He thought the men who drafted the bill entitled to honor.
Mr. GIBSON thought if there is any one thing to be regretted in regard to our Prisons it is the severe discipline that is sometimes necessary to administer. He had converged with the Wardens of both Prisons on this subject, and they desire the passage of the bill.
The bill passed the House by yeas, 93; nays, 0.
The bill [S. 278] supplemental to an act concerning drainage-see page 187-approved March 9, 1875, was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 68; nays, 11.
The bill [S. 293] to authorize the payment of the claim of J. F. and H. S. Talbott, for paving done on North Meridian street fronting the Blind Asylum, was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 80; nays, 2.
The bill [S. 98] to provide for the appraisement, purchase and conversion of toll roads into free gravel roads and their maintenance as free roads, was read the third time.
Mr. ANTRIM: This if called an act for the establishment of free gravel reads, but it strikes me that it if- establishing them at a great cost to a portion of the people living along the road. This propose-; that the Gravel Road Companies, when the holders of the stock find that it is not a paying investment, may unload that stock upon the people who live on that road. These people have helped to build the road; they have paid to keep up the road, and it is not fair to force this road upon them after it fails to pay expenses While the road does pay the majority of the stockholders will not agree to give up the road. This bill requires the citizens living within one mile of the road to buy the road for he benefit of the whole County. It is easily seen that poisons living two or more miles from this road will be benefited just as much by making this a free road as person living one-fourth of a mile from this road. There is usually a large number of small property owners living along these roads where tax is merely nominal, and such persons would willingly petition the stockholders to sell the road. Another thing, while this road is in the hands of the stockholders they are compelled to keep it in repair, but when it goes into the hands of the County it becomes everybody's business to keep it in repair and what is everybody's business is nobody's business.
Mr. WILSON, of Marion, declared this a fair bill. There is no compulsion about the matter. If a majority of persons living along the road desire it, it simply gives the right for such persons to purchase this road provided that the majority of the stockholders desire to sell. This is good Democratic doctrine. It gives these people the right to go into Court and have the Court decide whether the estimate placed upon the road is a fair estimate of the real value. Every free gravel road is built upon the principle that, the gentleman from Miami [Mr. Antrim] attacks, and is the principle on which all free gravel roads are built. The law is as fair and reasonable as can be devised for the transferring of gravel toll roads into free gravel roads.
Mr. KESTER could see no danger in buying roads as directed in this bill if the majority of the people living along the road desired to do so, and the majority of the stockholders desire to sell. This bill ought to pass.
Mr STRAUGHAN believed it was almost a demand that same law should be passed allowing these toll roads to be converted into free gravel roads. In his County they had some ninety miles of toll road. The business is being driven from the County seat, because it is completely hedged in by these toll roads, the business going to other points. He was in favor of the passage of the bill.
Mr. MELLETT stated that if he understood the bill right it requires persons living along and, within one mile of the road to pay a Tax in order to buy this road. Now suppose this is a good law will it be appropriated? Will these men who have paid a tax to build the road-will these men buy this road and turn in over to the County as a free gift? It occurred to him that these men would petition these stock holders to sell the road. In the first place these men are taxed to build this road, and no man will say that it is just to tax them again to buy the road.
Mr. THOMAS moved the previous question, which was seconded, by the House and under its operations.
The bill passed the House by yeas, 69; nays, 19
The bill [S. 107] to define the power of attorney and concerning the recording of the game was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 68; nays, 8.
The bill [S. 145] to amend Section 4,425 of the Revised Statutes of 1881 concerning the granting of licenses to teachers-see pages 72,184 and 199 of the Brevier Reports-was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 51; nays, 30.
The bill [S. 120] to amend the charter of Clarksville, in Clarke County, was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 73; nays, 0.
The bill [S. 149] to authorize the sale and conveyance of certain lands in the State of Indiana, was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 58; nays 8.
Mr. HUSTON called up the joint resolution [S. 2] to pay Mrs. Sarah May $10,000 for services rendered by the State architect of the new State House, and which failed to pass March 2 for want of the Constitutional majority, and another vote resulted in the passage of the resolution by yeas, 52; nays, 41.
The bill [S. 200] to revive an act approved May 14, 1860, for assessments of lands for benefits of page: 290[View Page 290] certain roads, was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 85; nays. 1.
The bill [S. 43] to increase Coroner's fees in Indianapolis, was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 73; nays, 13.
The bill [S. 250] to establish provisions respecting private corporations existing under corporate laws prior to 1852, was read the third time and passed by the House by yeas, 73; nays, 1.
The bill [S. 174] concerning the Supreme Court Commission for two years was read the third time.
Mr. McMULLEN thought that this bill ought not to pass. Since the bill was up the other day he had taken the time to examine the facts concerning this Supreme Court Commission and its work for the past two years. He found that the Supreme Court decided during the two years beginning January 1, 1879, and ending January 1, 1881, 1,251 cases, and that during the two years beginning January 1, 1881, and ending January 1. 1883, it has disposed of only 1,138 cases, or 113 cases less than for the same period of time before the Commission was appointed. The Commission has disposed of only 714 cases since appointed. Take from this the difference between 1,251 cases which the Supreme Court decided in two years before the Commission was appointed, and 1,138 cases which the Supreme Court has disposed of in two years since the Commission was appointed, and we find that th Supreme Court Commission has only disposed of 601 cases more than were disposed of by the Supreme Court. This Commission has proved rather an expensive luxury. He thought it should not be continued any longer; he was opposed to it.
Mr. TULEY believed it was admitted on all hands that something ought to be done to relieve the Supreme Court. According to the admission of the gentleman from Dearborn [Mr. McMullen] the number of cases has been greatly reduced. He thought the Commission had done well to dispose of 714 cases. A few years ago if you sent a case to the Supreme Court you knew it would keep it for three or four years since the Commission was appointed, he had known cases to be decided in three mouths The House had already decided upon the Court of Appeals. It has spoken in unmistakable terms that we do not want that Court. It is just this: we must have that Commission or nothing. He believed the people demand it, and that the Supreme Court demands; it under all circumstances he believed the bill should pass and continue this Commission for two years more
Mr. MOCK did not think we should determine the amount of work the Commission had done by the number of cases it had disposed of. The test he applied, and which he considered a fair one, is this: He was creditably informed that the number of volumes of Supreme Court Reports would greatly exceed the number issued during the year previous to the creation of this Commission. He considered this a just and fair test of the amount of work accomplished by this Commission. The difference between twenty-five volumes of the same size and number of pages and seventeen volumes, show the amount of work accomplished by this Commission. He believed that the Commission should be continued for two years, and trusted that the members would vote for this bill.
Mr. SHIVELY said: It seems to me that we should sometime awaken to the fact that Indiana has become a great State. It ought to occur to any man that the Supreme Court can not discharge this business without some assistance. It is burdened, and has been for a number of years. It is said this Commission has not done satisfactory work, but, notwithstanding this assertion, they have done good work. Now, will we so to work and defeat the bill for the establishment of a Court of Appeals and also refuse to continue this Commission. It seems to me that it ought not to be done. It has been stated that they bay only disposed of 714 cases. This is no test. They can and will work better in the next two year than in the past. Then, you can not determine the efficiency of the work by the number of cases. We should not refuse to continue this for the next two years.
Mr. MONTGOMERY thought it was a fact recognized by all members on the floor, he presumed, that the Supreme Court can not keep up with the business While this Commission may not have accomplished as much as was expected of it, yet something must be done for the relief of the Supreme Court, in order that it may catch up with its business, Ha thought this Commission should be continued two years longer.
Mr WILSON, of Marion, was in real earnestness in his opposition to this Supreme Court Commission. It might not be good policy on his part, but he was opposed to this bill
Mr. MOODY spoke in favor of the bill. He thought it was a matter of justice to the people that this Commission should be continued for the next two years, and therefore the question of expense raised by the gentleman from Marion [Mr. Wilson] should not be taken into consideration
Mr. JEWETT thought the question has been fully considered, and demanded the previous question, which was seconded by the House, and under the operations thereof-
The bill passed the House by yeas, 57; nays, 35.
The bill [S. 293] to repeal an act concerning legal advertisements approved March 1,1883, was taken up and on motion by Mr. Tuley the Constitutional rules were suspended, the bill was read the first and second time by title, was considered engrossed, read a third time by sections and passed the House by yeas, 87; nays, 0
The bill [S. 229] to regulate the business of Express Companies was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 72; nays, 1.
The bill [S. 289] to amend the drainage law [when petition has been filed any person effected by the proposed ditch may come into Court and object to the petition or demur to it, the same as in ordinary complaint; extends the time of the filing of the exceptions to the assessments from three days to ten days; in the event the County Survey or is not a civil engineer the Court may designate some civil engineer to act in such case] was read the third time and passed the House by yeas, 65; nays, 2.
On motion by Mr. JEWETT. Mr. Heffren's bill [H. R. 457] to allow a bounty for planting of yellow willow along the streams of Indiana, as a protection against floods, was taken up.

CLARKSBURG -- A new farm in town has stepped in to offer community supported agriculture (CSA) shares for the 2013 growing season.
Many Forks Farm, founded in February by Sharon Wyrrick, of Williamstown, is situated on two acres of land off River Road, and offers a variety of organic produce, including lettuces, spinach, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, summer and winter squashes, and more.
Several shares at Many Forks will be subsidized by Hoosac Harvest, a nonprofit group dedicated to improving access to local food for all residents of Northern Berkshire.
"We want membership to represent diversity in all forms," Wyrrick said. "There are income guidelines and a sliding scale to determine the subsidy, usually 50 percent or more. An individual will be responsible for some portion, which they can pay out over the season."
Wyrrick said half an acre of the farm is dedicated to growing produce, enough to provide food for 15 memberships. Members will pick up produce at the farm weekly from June through October. According to Many Forks' website, one share costs $450 and provides enough vegetables for a family of four, or for two adults who eat a lot of vegetables. The money members pay for each share will go toward supporting the farm financially.
"By having that payment up front, you have the capital to maintain the farm and buy supplies," she said.
Wyrrick said the farm's name refers to how people take many "forks" in life. Prior to founding Many Forks, Wyrrick was involved with the local arts community, though she said she's had an interest in farming for years and has kept her own vegetable garden.
Square Roots, formerly located in Clarksburg and now in Lanesborough, still offers a CSA program. Co-founder Michael Gallagher said a CSA provides economic stability for farmers to continue farming the land. The relationship between the consumer and farmer is also unique.
"They're able to see the people that grow the food and the land where it's grown," he said.
In addition to selling CSA shares, Wyrrick said she will continue selling at local farmers markets and farm stores.
"You're able to introduce people to local food who either can't commit or haven't decided whether they want to join a CSA," she said.
To reserve a spot at Many Forks, call 413-281-1814, visit www.manyforksfarm.com or email email@example.com.

Classic Car News
Nash classic car owner cranked up for Waterford car cruise
Image: German Medeot, 2013
It's not every single day that you get a chance to see a 1929 Nash Rumble Seat Coupe (the same exact car favored by notorious gangsters like Bonnie and Clyde, Babyface Nelson, and John Dillinger himself) cruising up and down the main street of your local town – let alone parking in front of a United Methodist Church.
However, that's exactly what happened just this past weekend, in celebration of the 10th Annual Cruise for Causes – a classic car show that has been going on for years and years with the help of the Michigan Car Club. And boy were the attendees more than a little bit surprised when this vintage auto pulled up to the front.
Currently owned by a private vintage automobile enthusiast who would like to remain anonymous, this old-school Coupe comes complete with vintage tommy gun (replica) machine guns, a super anti-driver, and even a handful of vintage bankrolls (replica money) to really pull off of the kind of visual impact that most folks never get to enjoy at these classic car cruises. After years and years of painstaking restoration, this is one of the more interesting and exciting automobiles – and one that makes the rounds of classic car cruises all throughout the United States on a yearly basis.

Noticeably Whiter Teeth in 30 Days! If a naturally brighter, whiter smile and fresher breath is what you are seeking, look no further than Probiotic Smile™ from Garden of Life®. The vanilla spearmint flavored mints are a patent-pending, synergistic blend of powerful probiotics clinically studied to naturally and safely whiten teeth, freshen breath and support the health of the mouth, teeth and gums.
Probiotic Smile works at the source to inhibit the growth of bacteria that causes bad breath and compromises oral health. With daily use, the probiotics in Probiotic Smile create hydrogen peroxide that naturally and comfortably whitens teeth with noticeable results in just 30 days – and all this without the use of harsh chemicals or the inconvenience of expensive procedures.
No alcohol-heavy mouth rinses or messy bleaching trays and strips, Probiotic Smile mints are all-natural and easily pop into your mouth. The unique strain of probiotics in Probiotic Smile:
- Naturally Whiten Teeth Freshen Breath at the Source
- Support Tooth and Gum Health
- Are Clinically Studied Are Great for All Ages
What are the Probiotics in Probiotic Smile? Two of the probiotic strains in Probiotic Smile are known as S. oralis and S. uberis, and they are normally present in the mouths of people with healthy gums. The third strain is called S. rattus, which oddly enough, is very similar to the bacteria responsible for most tooth decay. However, when these three strains are put together in this synergistic blend, they rebalance the oral flora and promote naturally whiter teeth and fresher breath.
Why Probiotic Smile vs. Other Whitening Agents? This is a much better route than bleaching fragile teeth enamel with high levels of harsh chemicals that create a roughness on the tooth's surface. These over-the-counter whitening products and those professionally applied in dental offices are extremely harsh, disrupting the fragile ecosystem in the oral cavity and creating an even greater imbalance in the mouth's microflora. Unlike these bleaching products, Probiotic Smile is an all-natural blend of probiotics that works to balance the oral flora in the mouth and promote a healthy environment for teeth and gums while gradually whitening teeth. Probiotic Smile – Probiotic Mints for Complete Oral Care and a Beautiful Brighter Smile!

good product
I didn't start using this product for the teeth whitening properties, but rather to find a natural way to deal with the mild gingivitis I've had with for years & haven't been able to shake, despite the fact that I eat well, don't consume much sugar & floss/brush regularly. In just a month, it noticeably helped with that, has reduced plaque buildup & pretty much eliminated that "fuzzy teeth" feeling. Although my teeth aren't bleach-stip white, they are definitely whiter & hopefully with continuous use will get whiter still. This product is also excellent tasting.

Serena van der Woodsen
As Gossip Girl opens, Serena, the sweet (sort of) blonde leading lady of the show (the opposite of her BFF, Blair Waldorf, the bitchy brunette leading lady), has just returned to Manhattan from self-imposed exile at a Connecticut boarding school. No one knows exactly why she left the city, but, as is always the case in these "awkward" situations, unsavory rumors—Drugs? Unwanted pregnancy?—abound. How dare anyone think such things about Serena! When the secret is eventually revealed, it turns out to be more her younger brother's problem. But enough about him. He's not blonde and gorgeous. As the series progresses, Serena becomes romantically entwined with all sorts of men (including Dan Humphrey and Nate Archibald), but never comes off as a slut. She's a nice, unpretentious (for example—Dan lives in Brooklyn, but she does not shun him), sensitive girl, who makes it clear she does not want to turn into her mother. (Lily has been married four times, with no end in sight.) Gossip Girl sends out more messages about Serena than any other character.

No regrets for attack on Rajiv, says Lankan guard
By P K Balachandran - COLOMBO
Published: 30th July 2013 07:54 AM
Last Updated: 30th July 2013 07:54 AM
Vijitha Rohana Wijemuni, the Sri Lankan naval rating who tried to kill then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi here on July 30, 1987, a day after the India-Sri Lanka Accord was signed, is still unrepentant.
"I am glad I did it. Because that was the only way I could make some protest against India for pushing us to sign the accord. I had to suffer a lot for it. But there is no regret over what I did," Wijemuni (48) told the Daily Mirror newspaper.
When Express approached him for an interview to mark the 26th anniversary of the murderous attack, he flatly refused. "I don't want to talk to the Indian media," he said.
Wijemuni was an angry young man of 22 when he took a sudden decision to reverse his rifle and have a swipe at Rajiv's head during the naval guard of honor at the Sri Lankan President's house for the visiting Indian Prime Minister. Rajiv was barely three feet away when Wijemuni was seized by an uncontrollable urge to strike.
Asked if he meant to kill Rajiv, he told the Daily Mirror: "My intention was that, because of the damage he had caused to our country."
Wijemuni believes that Rajiv knew that he would be attacked. "Actually Prime Minister Gandhi knew that we Sri Lankans did not like him. He came to the guard of honour with his security guards. Normally state leaders do not go to guards of honour with their own security. Mr Gandhi was obviously scared."
Asked if he was anti-India, Wijemuni said: "I am not. In fact, I am a great lover of Indian music and songs. Most of the CDs I sell are Indian!"
At the trial, his lawyers argued that he did not intend to kill. If he did, he would have bayoneted Rajiv rather than reversed his rifle and hit him with the butt. After spending two-and-a-half years in prison, Wijemuni was pardoned by President R Premadasa.
Now a record shop owner and a professional astrologer, he is in the forefront of the movement to annul the India-Lanka Accord.
More from this section
Like the Iraq invasion by the US, India-Sri Lanka Accord was wrong from the beginning to the end. Late PM Indira Gandhi first encouraged all kinds of terrorist groups, hoping to manipulate the terrorism to serve her selfish political interests - finally loosing her life as the price. Instead of learning the proper lessons, her son followed her , meeting with the same end. Shocking to know , from Wikileaks, TN was under ipso facto control of the LTTE during 1989-1991 till the death of Rajiv.
Posted by Gandhi at 07/30/2013 09:10 Reply to this Report abuse
Those of the Tamils in Tamil naadu who have grieved so much for thiru Raajiv. what would they feel about Vijitha Rohana Wijemuni, , who has been quite candid to say that: "Asked if he meant to kill Rajiv, he told the Daily Mirror: "My intention was that, because of the damage he had caused to our country."" And what the Indian government has done to the eezhamite tamils and their cause of free, sovereign Thamzh eezham, Thiru.Gandhi, what woluld you like to say? Your comments above neither reveal a relevant reaction to the definite assertion of Thiru. Vijitha Rohana Wijemuni or elate to the needs of Eezhamite Tamils . To print that "Shocking to know , from Wikileaks, TN was under ipso facto control of the LTTE during 1989-1991 till the death of Rajiv" is irrelevant and manipulative. The very heading to the news in your daily is quite inapt. Why could not it run: "My intention was that"(to kill Rajiv Gandhi) - ,says Lankan Guard.

Vijitha is a great Lankan hero, who in his own way stood up to the interfering Indian leader. We wish him well. We hope the current Sri Lankan leadership show more guts than Jayawardena and stand up to the new Indian pressure. There should be no land and police powers given to the Provincial Councils. Tamils who want that can always go to Tamil Nadu.

Vijitha is a great hero, we Sri lankans should do more to let the whole world know of our appreciation of the action of this single man against an interfering neighbor forcing his way at gun point on a then power less people. Well Hon President Mahinda has declared that there will be NO police and Land powers to PS. In effect bringing it down to a glorified village committee. We could live with it but we still would like the abolition of 13 altogether leaving NO room for a naadu Tamil or otherwise ever in Sri Lanka. No doubt Mahawansa our chronicle that records history of our Home Land, our beloved island paradise and its people will record this.

This is not new revelation as 100% of srilankans hate India and indian leaders. But indian leaders like ostrich attitude supported srilanka and its genocide against tamils. India will pay heavy price for supporting srilanks

I think that agreement forced by Rajivgandhi on Srilanka was a deal struck between LTTE and the Srilankan government. But both failed to appreciate it, as both did not want to give up their stand. When LTTE wanted free and full tamil statehood, Srilankan refused to share power with the Tamils. But ironically this made the srilankans and the LTTE to unite together to fight the Indian Peace keeping force. The then president of Srilanka cleverly joined hands with the LTTE to force India out of Srilanka. The LTTE foolishly gone with Srilankan Government and lost a golden opportunity for peace and power sharing during 1987 itself. That man Vijitha Rohana Wijemuni must be interviewed by your newspaper as to why he hated that agreement. Simultaneously Tamils/former LTTE people must be interviewed as to why they were not satisfied with that agreement and both published together.

"That man Vijitha Rohana Wijemuni must be interviewed by your newspaper as to why he hated that agreement. Simultaneously Tamils/former LTTE people must be interviewed as to why they were not satisfied with that agreement and both published together." - Thiru Sivakumar. Sir read carefully his replies- (1) ""I am glad I did it. Because that was the only way I could make some protest against India for pushing us to sign the accord. I had to suffer a lot for it. But there is no regret over what I did; (2), Asked if he meant to kill Rajiv, he told the Daily Mirror: "My intention was that, because of the damage he had caused to our country.". Then? why again interview thiu. Vijitha Rohana Wijemun .

Are you trying to say it was Not Tamils but Singalas who bombed Rajive ? Tamils did the job that this man could not do. Be proud and happy.

Very good & valuable suggestion to de-emotionalize the issue to facilitate meaningful dialogue towards a peaceful solution.

Let the World know the truth & true color of the cunning Sri Lanka.The Govt. Of India has a good opportunity to change the foreign policy The opposition parties have to give helping hand to the Govt.The U. N . has to order for a fair referendum among Eezham Tamils.

GSP, A referendum of the Tamils by the The Tamils and for the Tamils ! what would they think of next. Dreaming of an eeeeeeellaam. There are only 6% Tamils now in Sri Lanka, even if Tamil Pillai came to live in Sri Lanka she couldn't do it. Why dont you have one in India to see whether you could get independence.
Posted by Nimal at 07/31/2013 13:32 Reply to this Report abuse
What a shocking news it is ! It is all preplanned by Srilankan govt. to show protest against India and Late Mr.Rajiv Gandhi for imposing its plan on Sri Lanka. It is an insult to Rajiv Family and whole of India. Failure of Indian external affairs policy on Srilanka, LTTE and solving Tamil Problem. Nowhere in history a forein Prime Minister was insulted by host country in this way. We have to hung our head down.

Thank you LTTE for doing the job that all Sri Lankans wanted.
Posted by Nimal at 07/31/2013 13:35 Reply to this Report abuse
You are saying nowhere in history that a foreign PM was humiliated this way, & how about the humiliation the Srilankans faced when Rajiv forcibly violated Srilanka's airspace & bullied & threatened to attack small Srilanka,& that was a crucial point when the Srilankan army was on the verge of winning the war & capturing Prabhakaran,because of Rajiv the war got prolonged & 20.000 more lives were lost,including over 1500 indian soldiers & the reputation of the indian army in tatters, & became a joking point amongst Srilankans, Rajiv got a thundering blow on his shoulder by a Sinhala sailor & killed by a tamil girl,the bottom line is Srilanka had the last laugh.

1999 We decided to design a web page on coffee since Tana's mother works in a coffee shop, and more kids are drinking coffee because of the caffeine effect. We spent hours on Internet looking for coffee web sites, but everything we found was associated with buying coffee from a business or it was difficult to understand. Therefore, we decided that our project would not only give information about coffee, but would also be fun to read. We talked about how coffee berries become coffee through diary entries. We also told about the history of coffee and gave little known facts about coffee. We explained the difference between the major types of coffee that kids are drinking or that they hear about the most. Other topics we researched included how caffeine affects your body and your sleep. We included a hand-drawn map that shows the major places coffee is produced and a hand-drawn graph of the top ten coffee producing countries. Our educational objectives for this project were: Learn to use PageMill (a web-authoring program) Design informative web pages based on curriculum taught to fourth-sixth graders in California. Coffee and caffeine are discussed in the 4th - 6th grade Drug Awareness Program in California. Learn to use a scanner and digital camera Learn to search for information using a variety of sources - Internet, books, interviews, etc. Learn how to create web page backgrounds Learn how to organize our time and work together as a team

Eat out at a restaurant in America, and you often get more food than you can eat in a single sitting. Yet for these boys, starvation might stay away for an extra day by digging through the dirt for a few extra grains of food.
Roberto Schmidt/AFP - Getty Images
Boys gather kernels of of sorghum that were dispersed on the ground after an air drop in the Olilim camp for Internally displaced people in the Lira District of Northern Uganda, 19 October 2007. The UN food agency said 18 October that food airdrops that started four days earlier have saved up to 250,000 war displaced people from starvation after roads linking them to the rest of the country were washed away by floods following torrential rains that have hit the region.

If we're taking Marquis Teague at 14 then Bird & Pritchard need to be drug tested for bath salts.
I like the deal but I don't want Teague or Jones with the picks. Give me Jeremy Lamb and Royce White with those picks.
I don't think the Rockets would do it. Granger is a good option for teams that are in win now mode or need a sidekick to their superstar, not to teams who can't make the playoffs. If the Rockets do try something like this, they will probably aim for a younger guy, maybe Iggy or Gay, and even then I'm not sure they throw in both picks
i'm in the same bubble as the Indiana Pacers, man, so i'm sticking with the proper name

5/04/2011: China says US report criticizing religious restrictions biased - Associated Press |
BEIJING, China — A U.S. commission that accused Beijing of restricting religious freedom is biased and is meddling in China's internal affairs, the Foreign Ministry said Wednesday. Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Chinese citizens enjoy "complete religious freedom" despite the assertions by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom in a report issued last week. In a statement, Jiang urged the commission to "abandon its prejudices, respect facts and stop intervening in China's domestic affairs by means including issuing reports." |

How to make lots of money online
You have finally made a decision to make money online but you have no idea where to begin.
This happens literally to almost every single individual who is ready to take control of their financial future by making money online.
So what do you do?
Well this article will briefly explain how you can get started on the road to making money online.
First off let's talk about some pitfalls that many new individuals face they're trying to make money online.
One of the biggest downfalls is too much information.
Too much information leads to mind overload. When you type in to any search engine how to make money online. You will receive millions and millions of websites and information.
You could never in an entire lifetime read every thing that everyone has said about making money online.
However if you follow my tips in this article you will get started and direction to where you will be able to hone in on what you want to do in order to make money online.
Okay, so how do we fight information overload?
You simply fight information overload by taking the time to figure out how and what you were going to do in order to become successful online. For example, let's say you want to start a website on dog training.
What you want to do in order to avoid information overload is take your idea dog training and filter down to a niche with and dog training.
An example of this would be, potty training Chihuahuas. So now instead of trying to learn everything about dog training and competing in a huge market on dog training you now will only be competing with individuals who are soliciting services and products for potty training Chihuahua's.
With this focus specifically on this niche the next step to take is to find out exactly what individuals are searching for on the Internet.
What you want to do now, is head on over to Google AdWords to use their keyword tool. This tool that Google provides is absolutely free and can show you exactly what people are typing in on a monthly basis.
So for example, you would open up the keyword tool and type in Chihuahua potty training, the keyword tool would then report results related to Chihuahua potty training.
Okay so now you found some words or some sentences that people are typing into Google what you do?
The next step is to write some content for your website. You want to write content around the questions or queries the individuals are typing in to search engines.
This content should make sense and should be absolutely helpful to the viewer or reader.
This is the most crucial part and will literally make or break your success online.
By having content that is informative and helpful your viewers will then repost the information or share the information with their friends and family and other Internet users. This is what is known as word of mouth.
Now I did jump a step because we need to figure out the niche you also want to find products or services you can sell through affiliate marketing. However I had to talk about the content first because this is where over 80% of Internet marketers are going to fail.
Affiliate marketing means a company is willing to pay you a flat fee or commission for clicks, conversions, sign-ups, and much more. A recommended affiliate company would be Clickbank or Commission Junction. These are some of the biggest names in affiliate marketing.
There are many more and if you would like to open your horizons you can easily search for other affiliate marketing companies.
But wait, what happens if there is no affiliate product or service for your niche. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to use your creativity to create something for the niche and then you can become a vendor on a affiliate website and pay individuals a commission to sell your product or service, or you can do the marketing all by yourself.
Now the next biggest downfall is not having a plan.
Not having a plan means that you are a ship sailing out to sea with no destination, what do you think would happen? Chances are you doing absolutely nowhere and or possibly even do a full circle. So how do you create a plan of action and then act on the plan?
What you need to do is to write down how you plan to keep your website up-to-date and what services plan on selling. Also you will need to know how you plan on selling the services and products. By creating to plan this will allow you to test method and retest if the method fails.
Failure is not anything bad or anything to be ashamed of. Failure will teach you how to succeed.
Some of the best ways to market your content and website outside of just writing and posting on your website are social media platforms. Social media platforms are sites such as Facebook, twitter, YouTube, and Google plus.
There are many more social media platforms, however these are some of the biggest. It is highly advised that you learn the Google keyword tool and these social media platforms in and out. These are your tools to success.
So to recap what you need in order to be successful online is, avoid an overload of information and to establish a plan.
If you do you plan on using a website or YouTube make sure your content is absolutely informational and beneficial to your viewers and in the long run it will pay off. Now one of the best individuals I have ever learned from on Internet marketing and blogging is Jeremy Schoemaker.
