one of the joys of Temari balls is their wonderful use of colors
one of the symbolisms of giving Temaris as gifts is that they represent
brilliance because of their colors, wishing the recipient a brilliant
much interest has been expressed on the discussion group about use of
more traditional color combinations that one might see on authentic
Temari and in Japanese culture. Indeed, to those of us in the west one
might think that some Japanese Temaris do indeed have some "different"
color combinations.Sue H. offers: Chrysanthemums are a favorite flower
for the Japanese. In general, they prefer flowers that drop their
petals one by one, rather than fall off in one clump. That is why
the rose is not popular, and even considered bad luck. Sakura
(cherry blossoms), daisies, plum blossoms are greatly admired.
Something with many petals can also be related to many years of life
(long life) which is another "good fortune" wish.
Red and White are auspicious
colors (good luck). You will find the two colors used for many
special occasions, such as weddings, and births. I do not know
the origins, but surmise as you do, that being one of the easier
natural dyes to create, that it would become the more widely
used. Since tassels are used to decorate things of celebration,
red and white are the colors you will find (unless it is black and
white, or all black for a funeral). There is an observance in Japan
that you may find amusing - you are in a train station and see a
couple. The man is in an all black, double-breasted suit, the
woman in an all black kimono. Both are carrying a shopping bag
(yes, a shopping bag) containing gifts. Are they returning from a
funeral or a wedding? The only way to tell is if the woman's obi
is colorful, or solid black, and the man's tie is white or black.
Colorful/white is for a wedding, black/black is for the funeral.
Blue and White are also
prominent colors in Japanese fabrics and dishware. Yukata is a
blue and white cotton fabric used to make summer kimonos called
"yukata". It is also used for the "temari-like" patterns found
throughout their dishware. So many times, I hear western women
moan about how the dishes they bought just won't match their color
scheme at home. "Doesn't it come in green?" Hard to change
a thousands of years old "tradition". : )
One group member follows a Usenet group where
the same
topic for different reasons was being discussed and offers the
reference. The color list is referenced to Liza Dalby's book "Geisha",
about her study of Japanese geisha life. The layering of colours
for kimono and their surface decoration vary with the season and even
month. Apparently, as ceremonial kimono are very expensive, only geisha
follow the tradition of changing colours for each month. This is one
of colours from a traditional school of Japanese etiquette. (Web
note - Japanese culture is closely linked with the seasons, so each
is also represented by a nature reference.)
Another group member went on to offer:
piece about the Japanese colours originally written by Liza Dalby in
book *Geisha* has been further expanded in her book *Kimono: Fashioning
Culture*. Ten colours appear the most frequently, along with black, (in
Ao (blue-green)
corresponds most closely
to *turquoise-green*
Moegi (sprout-green)
could also be called
or apple-green
Kurenai (scarlet-pink)
a bright, slightly
pink produced from the benibana,*safflower*, an herbal
dye source. The closest
thing to red in the fashion palette, since truer red, *AKE*
was primarily used to
Kobai (plum-pink)
a light red with a purple
Suo (maroon)
another red, wandering in
tone from purple to brown to orange. It is the name of the tree
(sappanwood) from which
the dye comes.
Ki (yellow)
the purest yellow
Kuchiba (old-leaf tan)
(also the one I believe
is closest to what she described as *dead-leaf yellow* in the
*Geisha*.) The name means
rotted leaves. If it were a bit brighter it would approach
Yamabuki (golden yellow)
a tree-shrub, the *Kerria
japonica* with a roseate yellow blossom. A golden
that of the common
Murasaki (purple)
from the root of the
difficult to work with and restricted for the use of those
high rank. A fragile colour,
tended to fade. A range of purples included shades called
*fuji* (wisteria),*keshi
murasaki* (a greyed mauve), *ebi* (red-violet), *koki* (deep violet
and *usuki* (pale violet).
Shiro (white)
Kon (black)

A $50,000 gift from Roger Campos, D.D.S., will honor faculty and assist students in the Dental School at the UT Health Science Center. For Dr. Campos, a 1989 alumnus of the Dental School, the gift holds extraordinary meaning. That's because just as he embarked on his fourth year of classes, the young Campos learned he had cancer. Physicians discovered a malignant tumor lodged above his heart. The diagnosis was followed by months of aggressive chemotherapy treatments.
Only 27 years old and very ill at the time, he questioned whether or not he would complete his education. But he says encouragement and support from his professors ignited the determination and fervor he needed to finish. After graduation, Dr. Campos soon established a private practice in San Antonio, and has since expanded it to seven locations throughout the city and Boerne.
"I have a great love for our Health Science Center Dental School and the faculty," Dr. Campos said. "I will always be thankful to my professors who went above and beyond to encourage and help me succeed. They are the lifeblood of the school."
Dr. Campos, who is a steadfast supporter of the Health Science Center, said he sought a new way to thank and aid the university. "I wanted to give back to the Dental School in a manner that would do several things: honor the faculty, assist students in need and encourage others to give to the school that changed my life and is impacting so many others' lives."
This year, Dr. Campos contributed the $50,000 to establish the Edmund Cavazos, Jr., D.D.S., Endowed Scholarship in the Dental School to assist outstanding Dental School students. The endowment honors Dr. Cavazos who was a faculty member in the Department of Prosthodontics (now Comprehensive Dentistry) from 1980 to 2005 and who served as a mentor to Dr. Campos while he was a student in the Dental School.
Kenneth Kalkwarf, D.D.S., M.S., Dental School dean, said all gifts to the school are important, especially in light of decreasing state revenue.
"We are so grateful to Dr. Campos for his generous gift that is allowing us to achieve our goals of recruiting outstanding students who will provide the highest level of oral health care to the residents of Texas, and to honor our excellent faculty who are helping develop the next generation of oral health care providers."
Dr. Campos said he believes supporting the Dental School should be a priority for every graduate.
"Whether it's financial support or volunteer leadership, every graduate should contribute to the university," he said. "The Dental School provides us the opportunity to practice in the best field in the world. It is a gift. So, when our university needs us, we should give back. And, our university needs us today."
For more information about alumni leadership and giving opportunities in the Dental School, contact Sara Piety, director of development, at 210-567-6536 or e-mail email@example.com.

The Bangalore-based 'keeper, who will be donning the Punjab Warriors colours, said his aim will be to take each game at a time. "Since each contest will be as challenging as the final, I want to give my best in each contest," he said of his strategy, hoping it would also fit into the team management's scheme of things.
Fighting fitChettri, who had a training session on Wednesday along with teammates, told HT from Jalandhar that, "Good fitness will help me perform my duties under the bar in a more professional manner."
Olympian and teammate Shivendra Singh too is hoping for an excellent show. "My primary goal is to excel in the league. It will help me ensure a place in the national side," he said on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, despite the bone-chilling weather, it was business as usual for the Delhi Wave Riders players in the Capital, as they had two gruelling sessions. "It's pretty cold here. Something like Europe," remarked Oskar Deeke, a German player.
"The weather may be cold, but the Indian food is quite hot and very tempting. I am enjoying it," the German said in lighter vein.
Though Delhi and Punjab are already in serious training mode, the Ranchi Rhinos players are yet to step on the turf. According to Sunil Goenka, the team spokesperson, the players haven't arrived yet. "Hopefully, we should start practice on Thursday," he said.

League of Women Voters prepares for upcoming election season
Written by Phil Cerroni
By Jessie Burke
The Irving League of Women Voters met at the West Irving Library to review their current league support positions on Feb. 26.
The meeting was a preliminary one, not to vote on positions, but to act as a refresher for members on what issues in Irving the league currently finds important and to encourage members to start researching them.
"It's important to have these sort of reviews in the league, so we can make sure that we are putting forth our efforts where they are most needed," League president Mona Wyatt said. "We need to see where we may have accomplished all we can, or where an issue may have already been resolved, and then continue to focus on taking action where it is still needed."
For new member Barbara Doyle, the meeting was an opportunity to learn about what the League supports, and more about the issues in Irving themselves.
"I joined the league because I wanted to get involved in the community," said Doyle, who was previously a member of a New York league chapter. "It's extremely important to me to be aware of what is happening in your area, to get the word out, to do what you can to make a change."
The League Program consists of a limited number of governmental issues chosen by the membership for study and action. Issues presented at Tuesday's meeting were divided into eleven categories; Child Care, Mental Health, Urban Planning, Administration of Justice, Mass Transportation, Irving Public Education, City Public Libraries, Youth Substance Abuse, Waste Management, Kids at Risk and Domestic Violence.
"When examining an issue we need to first see if it's something we're passionate about, something we really want to see change," Wyatt said at the beginning of the meeting. "After that, the next step is to see if there is something we can do about it. If it is a state or federal issue, then there is not a lot of action we can personally take. If it's local then there is a lot more we can do."
Wyatt did say, however, if it is something bigger that they feel strongly about, they can recommend it to the Texas State League for consideration.
There were several issues discussed during the meeting that many members already feel passionate about retaining: in particular, education and school budgets. Texas has recently fallen to 49 out of 50 in the ranking of school spending per pupil in the U.S., which is a great concern for the people of Irving who care about the success of their students and hope to see that ranking raised in the coming years.
Another city program where several members of the league wanted to see a change is recycling. In Irving, residents wishing to recycle must currently purchase a roll of blue bags from the city, or local grocery store, in order to put out their recyclables.
"For some people going out and getting those bags, or having to pay extra for them is difficult," programs co-chair Dagmar Metzler said. "I would like to see that made easier for everyone. I believe making it more convenient would do more to encourage the people of Irving to recycle."
Before the league can officially decide together what to continue taking action on, Wyatt encourages members to collect further information and review the issues on their own, in order to make informed decisions. As the league is nonpartisan, all programs are viewed and presented in a non-biased way.
"We don't approach any issue from a particular party," Wyatt said. "Rather we say 'Why is this important for everyone?' When we go to a member of congress we are able to say not only what we want changed, but why something needs to be done with facts and research, and why it is important for everyone, not just why we personally think it is."
The meeting is a prelude to the League convention in May, during which they will present which programs they wish to pursue for the following year. Once the league chooses to take action on something, they do so through lobbying on the appropriate government level, presenting the League's views at public hearings, sponsoring correspondence or interviews with public officials, campaigning for public support, and forming or joining group coalitions.
"We are passionate about Irving," Metzler said. "This our community, we are passionate about making a change."

People have been using Jesus to sell things for years and years. Jesus has shilled for Christmas, the catholic church's religious memorabilia (those rosaries with the pics of jesus on the box are not employing advertizing?), political parties, easter chocolate (remember those chocolate crosses the boy scouts used to sell?)
Come on. What's the biggie? The catholics will LOVE this stuff (but only if it's as good as or better than the stuff they make and bottle in their own basements. (Every good NYC catholic, italian or irish, has his own vintage, remember.)
Get over it, you lot. Everything is for sale. Jesus sold the western world on Christianity, didn't he?

I'm glad last week is over. Possessions are weighty things and surrounding yourself in them with hopes of liquidation for a few days is an unhealthy place to stay, I think. For six days.
We put our house back together tonight and gave the rest away. Goodwill a lot of it, but not all. There's a guy that has my same truck down the street and I offered to give him my bed cover. We've never met and he thought it was weird. Then we talked about gas mileage, how hard it is to reach the oil filter, that it's nice to throw kids in the back seat, those sort of things. A coffee table and some lamps we gave to Alexander on the corner.
I put a waterski on Knox's porch this morning. He'd mentioned making a longboard perhaps. Then I mailed 11 packages to our eBay winners.
And with that, we are back to a more open space and enjoying a soul with a good clean scrub. Or maybe not a soul, but the room for the soul.

Pantelleria Dream
Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels
Never heard of Pantelleria? I hadn't either but it turns out that it is a small island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Sicily. What makes this island particularly noteworthy is that it is of volcanic origin and is still home to hot mineral springs and steam eruptions. The Pantelleria Dream is a new luxury resort on this island that has managed to stay below the radar for a long time. The hotel is made up of suites called dammusi, structures made from black volcanic rocks which have spare, gently curving white interiors like those found in Greek island hideaways. The hotel also has an infinity pool overlooking the sea. Prices start at 90 euros per person.

By FPA member Mitchell E. Kauffman, CFP®, MSFP, MBA
Last Updated: April 13, 2011
As many business owners painfully discover, successfully building their enterprise does not always directly translate into successfully building their personal wealth. Especially given day-to-day business demands, it is easy to lose sight of the ultimate business's purpose, which is enhancing the owner's personal wealth. Converting a business into a wealth enhancement vehicle requires ongoing concerted, systematic effort. At some point the owner must also worry about the business if something should happen to him/her.
These are the five critical challenges I have most often encountered after having worked extensively with business owners over the past 25 years. These can represent opportunities if properly addressed on a timely basis.
What strategies can help keep my taxes as low as the law allows?
With the goal of helping the owner and business keep more of what is earned, there is a wide range of tax planning opportunities that come with business ownership:
- Business Entity: Effective tax management starts with the firm's chosen business structure. In certain instances, for example, a Sub Chapter S Corporation could allow operating losses to pass to the owners, thereby providing personal tax benefits. In other situations, a regular "C" corporation may protect owners from passing through income that could otherwise have an adverse effect on their personal taxes. A limited liability company (LLC) may offer some advantages of each. It is important to periodically review the structure in light of current and anticipated business performance over the foreseeable future.
- Tax Advantaged Benefits: In addition, there are a wide range of options that may provide benefits to the owner as well as selected employees on a tax advantaged basis. These can include health and welfare trusts, individual pension plans, retirement compensation arrangements, holding companies, charitable donations and estate freezes. How beneficial these may be requires careful consideration of the individual situation.
- Tax Deductible Payments to Owners: Often it can be advantageous for an owner to purchase an asset personally, then rent or lease it to the business. This can involve equipment or real estate, and can not only allow the entity to deduct the payment from its tax return, but also allow the recipient owner to shelter a portion of taxation from that payment with depreciation, interest and other expenses, thereby enhancing the owner's benefit.
Effective tax management requires continual effort; strategies need to adjust as the owner's goals and financial situation changes.
How can I protect my business and personal assets against liability?
Especially in this litigious age, protecting business and personal assets against a liability claim is critical to financial success. A starting point lies in the limited liability protection found in the appropriate business entity. While this may not protect the business itself, it may protect the owner's personal assets. Beyond that, it is important to:
- Periodically review the basic corporate documents (articles of incorporation, bylaws, meeting minutes, state filings, etc.) to assure they are in good order and properly maintained.
- Make sure employees are not given the appearance of greater authority than the owner intends they have. Their job titles should be consistent with their function, with appropriate checks and balances that a "prudent business person" would take to assure employees are acting within the scope of their authority.
- Review capitalization levels to make sure that excess cash or unrelated assets are not being left in the firm unnecessarily.
Consider general and professional liability insurance that could protect against allegations of negligent activities or failure to use reasonable care.
How can I protect my business against the death, disability or departure of one or more key people, and how can I do that before events take my choices away?
Because small businesses are so dependent on one or a few key employees, their inability to perform can result in tremendous lost revenue. A multitude of planning tools is available, such as:
- Key Person Life and Disability Insurance: Provides the business with cash compensation to help replace such a costly loss.
- Buy-Sell Agreements: Can provide contracts to compensate families and provide for smooth ownership transition in the event of death.
- Split Dollar Life Insurance: Adds tax advantaged savings features to the aforementioned benefits the business might receive should one of its key personnel die unexpectedly.
Owners typically want to make sure their family is duly compensated for the business they've built and that the right people are at the helm in their absence. All told, it is important to have a comprehensive protection plan that can provide continuity and protect the business value should the owner or a key person be lost or become disabled.
How can I convert my business into planned retirement income?
With all businesses, especially those that are primarily service oriented, it is important to transition from one that is "Lifestyle Based" to one that can be "Equity Based." Lifestyle, as the name implies, is purposed to support the owner's living standard according to his/her schedule, income and tax benefit needs. As such, the value is based on the owner and typically diminishes or vanishes when he/she retires or passes.
By contrast, an Equity Based organization is designed to run with the intention of providing a value that can be accessed by the owner or his/her family at some future time. Keys to developing an Equity Based entity include:
- Staff: The owner must be surrounded by people capable of replicating the product or service, thereby extricating him/her from the day-to-day business operations. Critical in this is the staff's capability to handle routine matters, especially those that involve customer contact. The owner involvement of course remains, but is elevated to a significantly higher level like new business development and strategic planning.
- Procedures: Key to the businesses equity value is its ability to deliver a consistently high quality product or service independent of the owner's involvement. A "replicable" process can only be based on developing clear procedures and guidelines that motivated staff can follow without the owner's constant oversight and direction. Michael Gerber's "E-Myth Revisited" provides an excellent foundation for proceduralizing that replicable process.
- Retention: It is essential to have one to three key employees who can act as the owner would, take pride in the business' success, and have effective incentives to thrive personally along with that success. Bonuses based on performance and results, or even potential incremental ownership over time may prove helpful in retaining good employees.
Succession can involve ownership transference to family members, co-owners, current employees or an outside third party. The keys are that the entity be capable of operating separately from its owner, and that the transference be done in the most tax advantaged manner possible. Depending on the circumstances, this can result in a lump sum, a payment over time, an on-going interest in the entity or some combination of these.
Which Qualified Retirement Plan is best for my situation?
Several factors need to be considered, including:
- Variability of Business Revenues and Income: Generally, greater tax benefits are available at the cost of higher committed plan contribution levels. The downside, of course, is that in lean years it could be difficult to maintain those higher contributions. It is important to carefully weigh these, and often advisable to err on the side of greater flexibility and lower contribution levels.
- Owner or Employee Emphasis: The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is the major body of regulations that specifies minimum participation requirements for rank and file employees. Within these rules is some flexibility that can allow owners to receive a relatively greater proportion of dollars contributed. This is especially so if the firm is willing to make prescribed minimum contributions under "Safe Harbor" provisions, and/or if the key employees have a significantly higher average age under "Age Weighted" arrangements.
- Retention: Ensuring that the dedicated staff built through the years is sufficiently compensated so to not be tempted to look elsewhere for employment is important. It may also be a priority to provide them with an incentive to begin saving for their futures. This is especially so since many workers are not saving enough to be able to live comfortably after retirement and the owner worries about their well-being.
Every business weighs the relative importance of these issues differently. Generally, each plan has trade offs between amount of annual tax-deductible contribution allowed, flexibility of varying that contribution in good and lean years, and a desire to reward employees versus encourage them to save for themselves. When properly done, the right retirement plan can provide the owner with effective tax benefits now, a stream of reliable income well into retirement, and a motivational-retention tool for important employees.
Every owner will one day leave the business. The question is, will it be on his/her own terms or dictated based on health or financial circumstances? When it is properly planned, it can be a positive, life changing, wealth creation event that brings financial independence to the owner and/or family, and has the added benefit of leaving the business a healthy, viable entity that can flourish long after the owner departs.
A qualified financial adviser can help develop a clear picture of a business's value and then integrate that information with the owner's personal financial situation to give a comprehensive view needed to plan for a successful future.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's three-year-old twins Tabitha and Marion left their minders in the dust as they scooted around Manhattan this weekend. How cute are these two?! So cute I downloaded every single photo of them in their funny helmets.

Sarah Jessica Parker Says Matthew Broderick Made Her More Cynical
"I didn't plot a future like this, although I know some people do. When Matthew and I started working, all we knew is that we wanted to be great actors. I don't think I ever thought about money or that people would know my name. I just love the work … [Matthew has] given me a little cynicism. I'm less Pollyanna now. That's probably healthy."
—Sarah Jessica Parker talks to Parade magazine about her new movie "I Don't Know How She Does It" and her relationship with Matthew Broderick. It's funny how much Sarah Jessica has actually become Carrie Bradshaw in my mind. I always assumed that she had a sarcastic, New York cynic vibe. Who knew she was ever a Pollyanna?

Quickies: Sarah Jessica Parker Calls Matthew Broderick "Average" & The Best C-Bombs On TV
- While appearing on the "Late Show with David Letterman," Sarah Jessica Parker called Matthew Broderick "average" and then insisted she meant only in height. [The Daily Mail]

- Some genius proposed to his girlfriend with a tattoo. [Lemondrop]
Quick Pic: Sarah Jessica Parker Shows Off The Twins
Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick have released their first family pic with newborn twin girls, Marion and Tabitha (who a surrogate popped out last Monday), alongside big brother James Wilkie. Looks like this family won't be going the gender-neutral route—notice how the girls are in pink and the boys are in blue. [People]
Sarah Jessica Parker's Surrogate May Be A Tattooed Bisexual Who Wears Spiked Collar Necklaces
When Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick announced they were having twins through a surrogate, they kept the woman who's carrying their baby's identity secret. But rumors are swirling that it's a 26-year-old "bisexual, tattooed rocker" who is divorced, lives in Ohio, and has already been a surrogate once before, that time for a gay couple. Star reports Michelle Ross works in a kennel and likes wearing "five-inch black spike heels which lace up the front." If it's true that Ross is the surrogate, you can bet she's cleaned up her ways, because SJP and Broderick's children are supposed to be born in July. No official numbers on how much the surrogate is making; however, Grazia claims she's getting around $150,000 in gifts. [Star, Scandalist, Times of India] Keep reading »

First, he allegedly cheated with a firecrotch. Then, Sarah Jessica Parker went from blond to full-fledged brunette. Yesterday, at the opening of "Mary Stuart," Matt's got mutton chops. Is this mid-life/wife crisis headed for split ends? We sure hope SJP doesn't wash that man right out of her hair. [New York City, 4/19/09]

Sarah Jessica Parker has stopped pretending she's happy in her marriage with Matthew Broderick and is reportedly looking for her own place in New York City. Although Broderick was the one caught cheating, we think Parker will start dating someone else soon because she emotionally checked out of this marriage some time ago. Keep reading »

I have always wanted to ride in a helicopter; you might even consider it a bucket list item. I knew that while visiting Hawaii I had to find a way to see Oahu from the air.
You haven't really experienced the beauty of Oahu until you've seen it from a helicopter. We took a 45 minute Blue Hawaiian helicopter tour and saw everything from Diamond Head to the North Shore. The most amazing moment was flying over Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial where you can see the silhouette of the ship beneath the water.
Here are some photos of the tour and a short video to give you an idea of what the experience is like. Sorry if it's a bit shaky but, you know, I was in a helicopter.

Every week, the revered Purple Pipe is awarded to a Western athlete that busts out a stellar individual performance.
Mens volleyball starter Eric Simon won the Pipe this week after his strong performance in two weekend games against the York Lions and the University of Toronto Varsity Blues.
In these games he had team highs with 31 points and 25 kills. He also led the team in digs during the Toronto game. The Gazette sat down with Simon to talk about the suspenseful season, the Super Bowl and high school admirers.
You led the team in kills this weekend. Is this something you do regularly?
No, we are not generally a go-to guy team. We generally have a spread-out offence. Everyone is normally around the same amount of points per game. So there is no one leader on the team. I guess it was just a good weekend.
You dont feel like you left anything out there?
I was pleased with my performance, especially since I was kind of on a little bit of a slow streak and I am finally back out in my left side position. I have been playing middle the first half. It was nice to finally get back on a roll. I felt good during the week of practices and it was nice to show it out in the games.
So you prefer to play left side but you have been playing middle recently?
Based on what we thought would be the best lineup for the team I had been playing middle. Luke Schram and Chris Mokry have had some shoulder problems now so we dont have as deep of a left side position so I moved back out there. I like it better but we will see how it does for our team. Its looking like it might be my position for the second half unless Mokry and Schram can get healed up.
The playoffs are coming up. How do you feel about the teams chances?
Well right now our league is the tightest I have ever played in. We were tied for fifth and with that win moved us up to fourth. Its a tight race between us, Queens [Golden Gaels], Waterloo [Warriors], Ryerson [Rams] and York one of those teams wont make the playoffs. Were all exceptionally good teams, so its important to win, not only for seeding, but also to just make the playoffs. If we win out we could come in second, but if we play terrible we might not even make the playoffs.
So you play the unbeaten McMaster [Marauders] in two weeks, do you think you have a chance to be the team that beats them?
McMaster is an exceptionally good team this year. I havent seen a team like that in [Ontario University Athletics] and to play them at their gym is even more of a disadvantage because it gets pretty loud in there. But from the games weve played them at home we have definitely had them on the ropes, but we just havent been able to close it out. That was our problem all first half, but we are learning to finish games so anything can happen now.
How hard is it to balance playing a varsity sport with being a third-year civil engineering student?
I wouldnt say balancing those two, just because I go to class all day, then to practice, then straight home to my books. But its a lot harder to find time to do other things, such as getting groceries or hanging out with my friends. Its difficult to find time like that. On the weekends its nice when we have Friday and Saturday games, cause that gives us Saturday night to go out and enjoy ourselves, but a lot of weekends we have Saturday and Sunday games. Sunday is normally my day to do my work, so its taken away from me sometimes.
What bars do you go out to when you do find time?
Ceeps. Just Ceeps. I dont think I have even been to a different bar this school year. Ceeps Saturday and then Monday night for chicken wings.
Who do you think is going to win the Super Bowl?
[New England] Patriots. I dont see how they cant. It was pretty crappy weather in Foxboro, so that explains [quarterback Tom] Bradys off day. Eli [Manning] is heating up and Brady is slowing down, but seriously, the Pats have such a good team.
Do you go out with the girls team a lot, or is it mostly just the guys?
Normally we get scheduled where well go on road trips with the girls. When that happens we will go out with them but during the first half we didnt have many of those situations, so it was mostly just our team. But since the break weve gone out together both weekends. But we do hang out with each other a lot, I mean we see each other every day before practice and after practices.
Explain the story behind your use of Shake and Bake.
That happened last year at the beginning of the season in our Ryerson tournament. It was obviously stolen from Talledaga Nights, which we watched on the bus ride up there. So I dont know, I just said it in the middle of a game, and everyone just started to laugh so its my way of easing the tension on our team. When we start to get in ruts it gets everyone fired up so I just kept it as our saying for the year. It gets old though, so youve got to find something new.
We hear that you have a large high school female fan base.
There have been a few of them that have come up after a game and want to get pictures with you. Just after our weekend game I went home and on Facebook there were three new friend requests, all of them high school girls. So its flattering and you just kind of laugh at it.

Main Open House Displays Lessons Contests Soccer! Schedule of Events
These short lessons in diversity will cover a wide range of diversity topics. The goal of 'Diversity Lessons' is to share knowledge and experience in order to educate and inform - with a focus on highlighting people's unique differences that are often unknown or overlooked.
"Diversity Lessons" are scheduled for May 21 and May 22. Each speaker will be allotted 20 minutes to speak and 10 minutes for a question and answer session.
One session will be held at the Riverpoint Campus on May 21, from 5:30-6:30 pm, in PHASE 1, Rm. 122.
A Call for Interfaith Action. Malik Ayesha, EWU Student. My name is Ayesha Malik and I am a Pakistani-American Muslim. At the age of 8, I visited the site most holy in Islam: the Kaaba. The Kaaba, also known as the Sacred House, is a cube shaped building in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. At a young age, I can still distinctly remember the diversity that was present there. There had to be a person from every country in the world in attendance at the Masjid al-Haram (the Kaaba). Every race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, age was represented there. There were many differences between us , but we were all united under Islam. I've never felt so much brotherhood in my life. The United States is no different when it comes to the melting pot of people that live here. Just like the Kaaba, Americans are from different parts of the world. This has made us the most diverse country in the world. Now we all know what the obvious difference between the Kaaba and the US is: religion. There is no one religion that dominates this land. The United States has become the most religiously diverse country in the world. Religion has spanned across the country's multicultural immigrant heritage. If you keep up with current events, you will see that religion has played a major role in conflicts. The September 11th attacks, the Wisconsin Sikh Temple shooting, and the Boston Bombing. Americans are started to attack each other in rage after events like this. To help prevent hate crimes, we must engage in interfaith dialogue. These times require all of us to be interfaith leaders. We must distinguish the worst elements of every religious tradition represent nobody. We have to teach all communities to make our nation a better place. I am making a call for interfaith action. The voices of religious intolerance are growing louder, so we must stand up for what is right. Let us build bridges between all faith groups to prevent hate from spreading. Wed, 5/22@2:00 pm
Cultural Competence in the 21st Century. Dr. Caprice Hollins, Cultural Connections, Inc. America has always been a country full of diverse people and cultures. Historically our approach has been to assimilate into dominant cultures values, norms and customs. Today we are learning to become multicultural but cultivating these skills doesn't come easy nor do they happen overnight. We must unpack the ways we've been socialized to think about differences, engage in courageous conversations and develop new ways of being. As a result of this keynote address, participants will develop a common language and understanding of what is meant by cultural competence and deepen their understanding of the work they can do to develop their ability to effectively work across cultures. Mon, 5/20@12:00 pm
Developing Cultural Competence. Dr. Jeffrey Kawaguchi, Program Director, Athletic Training Program. The world college graduates of today enter is much different than in the past. The physical distance that once separated us from those of other cultures has long since diminished... For example in the United States, we have become a much more racially and ethnically diverse nation. According to Kenneth Prewitt, former director of the U.S. Census Bureau, the United States "is on the way to becoming the first country in history that is literally made up of every part of the world." Additionally According to the US Census Bureau projections released in December of 2012, by the end of this decade no single racial or ethnic group will constitute a majority of children under the age of 18, and in three decades no single group will constitute a majority of the country as a whole. In response to this change it has become imperative that college graduates be prepared to manage the social and cultural differences that exist. It is for this reason the field of cultural competence has emerged as a part of a strategy to reduce disparity in a number of professions including healthcare and education. As a healthcare provider my own personal journey has allowed many experiences that have helped me to develop my own sense of cultural competence. Thus the purpose of this presentation will be to discuss:
• A brief history of cultural competence in this country as it applies to the profession of health care and education.
• The basic aspects of cultural competence
• The lessons I have learned through my experiences about cultural competence
• How to develop your own sense of incorporating cultural competence
Tue, 5/21@12:00 PM
Diversity in Professional Development. Laura Sanchez, Career Advisor, College of Science, Health & Engineering. The focus of this lesson is to share how EWU students/alumni of diverse background, ethnicity, or culture have sought out opportunities and utilized resources that have/will benefit them in their professional endeavors. They will speak about their experience, including how they learned of these opportunities and what challenges they had to overcome to get there. Tue, 5/21@2:00 PM
A Jesuit, a Gringa, and Lots of Indians. Summer Hess, MFA, 2011 Fullbright Student. San Pedro de Atacama, Chile has been broadcasted to national and international audiences as an other-worldly, desert destination for adventure travel and luxury tourism that happens to have an indigenous population. In this talk, I explore the influence of one of San Pedro's most famous travelers: the Belgian Jesuit Gustavo Le Paige, who tried to rewrite the Atacameno culture's history and, therefore, identity, through guerilla archeology and journalism. As a result of his excavations and writings, Le Paige set this desert town spinning toward its future trajectory as touristic destination. The resulting growth and international exposure of San Pedro has generated unprecedented diversity as well as opportunities for commerce and development. However, it is unclear if the influx of international travelers and residents has permitted the expression of diverse identities rooted in race, ethnicity, gender, religious, and political beliefs. As the tiny town is advertised and "sold" as a destination, it seems that diversity has merely been a marketing strategy rather than a core community value. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie calls this propensity to diminish a people or a place to a static representation, such as a marketing campaign, "the danger of the single story." Eastern Washington University, in its promotional materials and course offerings, is also trying to write a narrative of diversity. Yet, in many circumstances, I have noticed only slim difference between developing and acknowledging diversity as a core value and leveraging it for some kind of gain. By connecting my experiences as a traveler in Chile to my work here at Eastern, I create space for considering the following questions: What is the difference between the exploitation of and celebration of diversity? How can we ensure that our endorsements of diversity truly value the identities that make individuals unique? How do we combat the detrimental impact of the single story on our campus? How do we encourage student voices so that the story of our university is as diverse as our student body? Tue, 5/21@5:30 PM (Riverpoint Campus, PHASE 1, Rm. 122)
The One-Drop Rule and Accidental Racism. Michael Reid, Student Services Coordinator, Asia University America Program. A two-part presentation with part one focusing on the continued difficulty faced by multi-racial people, especially those who have African ancestry, in having their complete identity recognized; part two will focus on the facile reframing of dialogs on race as being ones of blame and guilt on the one hand, and disingenuous declaiming of any cultural baggage on the other. Wed, 5/22@12:00 PM
The Power of The Gaze: Understanding the Effects of the Stares & Looks Majority Populations Give People of Difference. Rachel Dolezal, MFA, Adjunct Professor, Africana Education Program. There is power in looking. In earlier American history, black slaves were punished for looking at white masters and taught to divert their eyes. Women who confronted men with their gaze were sometimes slapped or disciplined for doing so. In 2013, the power of "the gaze" wielded toward people of color in majority white populations results in feelings of isolation, frustration, anxiety, and anger and can even lead to clinical depression, hopelessness, self-destructive patterns or violence. From young children who are the only representative of an ethnic group in their school class to college students, staff and faculty at EWU, "the gaze" of the majority population makes a deep and often permanent impression. This workshop will answer questions such as: What can be done about the negative effects of "the gaze"?; How can the majority population become more aware, inclusive and sensitive with their gaze? How can people of color and other visible identity differences recover from the negative effects of "the gaze," and how can we become empowered with our own gaze? Tue, 5/21@1:00 PM
Queering Gender Identites: A Deconstruction of Conservative Views on Gender. William Stotts, EWU Student. This presentation will discuss the heterosexist mediums that ingrain the concepts of what the average American's gender expression is supposed to look like. With specific focus on the way in which this heterosexist system impairs people from respectfully interacting with those whose gender identity is either ambiguous, or which does not match their physical sex. There will be discussion on queer gender identities, with particular focus on how other cultures around the globe, view gender identities in systems that are radically different from our conservative western culture. Further discussing how populations nearly as large as or larger than within the American culture as a whole, do not find gender identities other than man or woman to be problematic. A video production about gender assumption will supplement this presentation. Wed, 5/22@1:00 PM

on the golf team, Sep 03, 2004 |
reviewer: RLHS
from Etters, Pa |
Being on the golf team, I use the course pretty much everyday from April til about late september. The course would be alot better if it wasnt as hilly. Not so much the back nine, but the front nine is all hills. It gets a little olf if you dont have a cart. But other than that, its not bad; greens are maintained and the fairways are always cut up to par. |

INCREDIBLE, Jun 10, 2004 |
reviewer: golf-a-matic
from somewhere in Pa |
One of the most exciting golf courses i have ever played on. With all the houses and shubbury that must be taken into play, the course can cause headaches with some holes, and pleasure on others. I recommend this course, exspecially if you know anybody who lives on the course! This allows you to personally get back on them if they ever hurt you in anyway. Just "slice" the ball and hid. Its that easy. And with the great staff at valley green with it's amazing women that look like they should be in a porn video, valley green golf course is the place to go. (Even if all you want to do is get some from the girls that work there) |

My husband is a HUGE Adidas fan and is way into sports and fitness. He recently became completely obsessed with the Adidas Climacool Ride running shoes. These flexible, airy, light as a feather sneakers are so comfortable that you practically feel like you're treading on bare feet! He purchased a pair a few weeks before our son was born and got me my own pair last month. He joked that they were my "push present". (He really hit up Tiffany's and got me a BEAUTIFUL silver alphabet pendant of the letter "S" for Simon. I was so touched!) Happy Fashion Friday!
I have to say that I am really not a sneakers girl. I was a gymnast for 10 years and we work out bare foot. Even when I would do P90X or my walking workouts I would always go shoe-less. Now, I look for excuses to wear my Adidas! I take my little boy for walks all the time just so I can sport my cool new kicks! I highly recommend! My hubby and I are both OMG OBSESSED!
Adidas Climacool Ride is available at Adidas.com. $90.00

You don't often see these chestnuts on the streets anymore. They used to be for sale on every corner. I was happy to see you can still find them, as I love how they smell when they are roasting. (still having technical difficulties in posting, as you can see.)

They look yummy! However, don't know if I have ever tried them.
- January 6, 2012 at 8:29 AM
You are right - did not see any in when I was in the city last month. Even did not see or forgot to buy them in our market here to roast at home! Will see if I can find some tomorrow!

I have long been a fan of Dennis Lehane, so today when his latest novel, Moonlight Mile, was published, I bought it on my Kindle. Featuring detective couple Patrick Kenzie and Angie Gennaro, this is a sequel of sorts to Lehane's Gone, Baby, Gone -- twelve years have passed, and the now 16-year-old Amanda McCready has gone missing again. The investigation of her disappearance gives Patrick plenty of time to re-visit his decision to rescue four-year-old Angie from her loving kidnappers and return her to her neglectful mother.
I can't wait to delve into this one.

" ... We think that it is much more legitimate and effective for the change of regime that it be the ultimate aim for a native political movement more than by the United States or the foreign powers" , Ben Rhodes, Barack Obama´s adviser said, when commenting the success whereupon the NATO´s bombs backed the so called the National Transitional Council of Libya
In Cuba, with money also American, people are been recruited for a "native political movement " whose mission is to foment "events" , but the messages and contents they try to place in the Cubans´ cell phones come from Washington. The purpose: to get artificially the pretext for an intervention.
