In response to:
My guns and resolve are primed and the oath I took to defend my country is seared into my pledge against tyranny as well.
West was correct..liberals and commies are one in the same.
Homosexuality harms those guilty of the acts and those that uphold the acts and those that have their minds and moral values warped by the agenda of homosexuals. Homosexuality is a cancer, like all sin, that eats away at the moral fabric of all that is good and holy in the sight of God. Homosexuality corrupts the minds of children and adults alike and leads them down a path of self loathing and promotes and advances the lack of shame and self respect. To try and promote your view that homosexuality does no harm is akin to saying that pedophiles are only trying to show love with their heinous crimes against children.
If that was true then Reid wouldnt be in the senate.

Hourly labour costs in Europe: largest decrease in Greece, largest increase in Estonia (graph)
from Merijn Knibbe
Update. It is remarkable that the quarterly national accounts for Germany, first quarter of 2012, published on may 25, see link below, do contain elaborate data on hourly wage costs in Germany while this information (showing low wage increases in Germany) is not included in the Eurostat table, published three weeks later.
Do we need a world-wide increase of real wages (China, USA, Europe)? Probably. Is it happening? Not yet: new data on labour cost from Eurostat (total wages divided by total hours, first quarter 2012) shows that in most EU countries wage increases were lower than the rate of inflation. Some cherries:
* No data for Germany, these can be found here (+2,0%, table 2.18. Not exactly the same definition, but for 2012 differences were limited)
* No data for Greece. Third quarter data for 2011 (latest data available on Eurostat) however show a 7,5% decrease which followed an about equal decrease in 2010.
* Estonia, darling of the Austerians, however shows a 7,2% increase in the first quarter of 2012.
* The Netherlands, which are at this moment pursuing an aggressive, even ruthless, export strategy despite the fact that they already have the highest current account surplus of the EU witnessed a very low increase of wages which, contrary to the situation in Belgium, Austria and Germany, is also quite a bit lower than in Italy, Spain and Portugal. By the way – Dutch retail sales in April: -6%. Dutch exports in April: +6%.
My opinion is that wage cuts in the transition countries are fighting a straw man, as wages in these countries are only about as high as a hundred years ago in the UK and Germany, while relative wages in these countries are also much lower than relative productivity (for the record: German wages of the nineties of the twentieth century were the highest of Europe – which really is a different situation). Nobody should be afraid of a 7,2% increase in a country like Estonia – there are ample ways to increase productivity. But the difference between the poster child of the Austerians and Greece is ironic.
Sideline: is there a downward EU wage/price spiral at the moment?
June 14, 2012 at 3:30 pm | #1|
Increased gap between rich and poor since 1980, dramatic increase in private debt after the same date; obviously low wage rates, once borrowing capacity was reached, could not sustain the economy. That's been OBVIOUS for decades. Yes, raise the incomes of the middle classes by depriving those with the power to suppress them out.
June 15, 2012 at 12:41 pm | #2|
"Nobody should be afraid of a 7,2% increase in a country like Estonia – there are ample ways to increase productivity. But the difference between the poster child of the Austerians and Greece is ironic."
I don't see why this is ironic – I think it is merely evidence in favor of "austerity". Austrian economists would say that this is precisely what they would hope for – the government cuts back public spending to allow the private sector to flourish, and of course as private firms bid for employees unemployment falls and wages rise. It's true that wages need to flexible and might fall at first to help spur recovery, but hopefully within a couple of years of a public-austerity plan wages should rise again. This fully supports Austrian arguments in favor of austerity.

What do a girl from Motown and a country boy have in common? One thing: the 2012 CMT Music Awards.
Kristen Bell and Toby Keith are co-hosting the CMT Music Awards live on Wednesday, June 6, bridging the gap between Hollywood and Nashville royalty. While Bell is no stranger to presenting at country music award shows, this will be her first time hosting one.
RELATED: Click here for more 2012 CMT Music Awards coverage
"They just invited me and I squealed, 'Yeah!' and obviously said yes. I had never been to Nashville before, so I was very excited," Bell told reporters in Nashville on Tuesday at the Bridgestone Arena. "I'm a country music fan."
As for Keith, this isn't his first time at the rodeo. "I hosted it several years ago with Pam Anderson and I guess I was back on the cycle again. So I'm back here again. It's always an honor," Keith said.
RELATED: The Hottest Men in Country Music
The duo is already in high gear for the big night. "We're probably going to besties!" Bell said with a laugh. And expect a few wardrobe changes from Bell, who noted that the whole process is "a lot of fun." To which, Keith quipped, "I have a nice skirt."
For the first time, the award show will feature outdoor performances -- by Brad Paisley, Hank Williams Jr. and Eric Church -- during the telecast. There are also a couple of surprise performances in store for music fans.
RELATED: Miranda Lambert's Style Evolution
"I'm particularly fond of this award show because video played a very big part in my career," Keith said. "They always put together a great show. It's different. It's not as sterile as the other award shows. It's more hang out and hang loose."

Linh's younger brother, Kien, walks into the house with his red backpack slung over his shoulder and the signature white iPhone headphones running down from his ears. He dances slightly to the beats as he drops his bag lightly onto the floor and takes one of the headphones out. I am sitting on Linh's couch working on another blog entry, but in about 60 seconds, Kien reminds me why I spend so much of my time working on things like the Creative Kid Project and the Brown Conversation, and I put the other post on hold.
"How was class?" I ask him, referring to the extra study class he just got back from (it's 8:30 PM).
"Bored." "Boring? What subject?"
"No, I'm bored. Math class," he grumbles.
"You should go Creative Kid Project on them and turn the place upside down," I say almost reflexively.
And this is why I do what I do. All around the world an incredible amount of time and energy is wasted in countless classrooms by students who don't want to be there -- and whose brains are working maybe at 10% capacity -- and by teachers who don't really want to be there either. Meanwhile, education policy "experts" write reports and ponder why graduates aren't creative enough or why they don't "think critically" or "outside the box." When class ends, the students go home and grumble or complain (understandably) about how they were bored, but they don't see any alternatives.
Unfortunately for me, one of the best lessons I've learned over the past 22 years (aside from learning how to do things like walk and talk, etc) was trademarked by a shoe manufacturer. Nevertheless, it seems like at least half of the things people complain about are just waiting for someone to step up, take responsibility for them, and do something about it. But to students, school seems like the most immovable institution...which is why it represents such a perfect opportunity to show students that the world is more malleable than they think and an opportunity to get them to start thinking differently, creatively, "critically," or "out of the box."
For me, the core idea of both the Creative Kid Project and the Brown Conversation is to get students to think of school as practice. School seems like the epitome of "do what you're told" (because it is in many ways), but if students can start to question what they're told (and be encouraged to do so), to be curious, to imagine better situations, to improve things, that's a skill I'd like to send them into the 21st Century with.
Thinking for yourself, not simply doing what you're told, and imagining how things could be better seems (from what little I know) to have driven inventions of everything from the wheel to the iPhone, social movements from the development of different religions to human rights movements, scientific research and great works of art and literature and music, developing new political systems, etc -- seemingly most of what people consider good. And the same idea is at the root of all of the hype about innovation, entrepreneurship, and the like, as well as the education rhetoric that seems to be the same all around the world (see the next post).
So how do you show (as opposed to just telling) kids (of all ages) that if they can translate complaints into constructive proposals, and that if they can start to envision new possibilities while being realistic about all of the various constraints, that people will listen?
Not everyone will be receptive, but you don't need everyone. If you are persistent enough (and actually listen and learn from people's responses or criticisms or reasons for why your proposal might not work as is), someone will be receptive. And that's all you need. (And the same lesson applies for cold-emailing people, which, I have found, works as well in Vietnam as it does in the U.S.)
We'll see how well we do with bringing these points to life. (Two weeks to go and we've got our team in place and all of our funding is locked in -- with many thanks to Camp Rising Sun/The Louis August Jonas Foundation, Brown's Watson Institute, Capstone Vietnam, and the VIG Group -- so the Creative Kid Project is actually going to happen.)

NASCAR Power Rankings Chase Edition: Week 2

Not only did Mark Martin get his first career win at Loudon but he also extended his contract last week. Will this be his year? Someone will win it. Did you know that Martin first announced his "Salute to you tour" in 2004. Johnson dominated the Dover race earlier this year but there are no guarantee's in NASCAR. It will be difficult for the 48 team to duplicate their previous dominate performance. I don't really know what happened to this team Sunday. They were the fastest team on the track at the start of the race then all of a sudden they were junk. As a result of his bad day Gordon now sits 10th in the point standings. This team will try their hardest having their crew chief Pat Tryson there part time but I don't really think this is a sustainable strategy. I expect this problem to grow over the course of the remaining 9 races. Hamlin was definitely the most aggressive driver on the track at New Hampshire. He was running into other cars frequently and he even ran over a guy on pit road. If his high aggression level continues trouble will certainly find him on the track. There have been a lot of people saying this team is testing but I'm going to hold my ground on this one and say they're simply making mistakes. In order for Stewart to win the championship he really needed to score more points here. The 42 is truly a top team in the series. The main thing people hold against him is his lackluster history. This year is vastly different from years in the past. If you haven't thrown out the history book on him yet, do it now. Not too many teams made a mistake at Loudon but this team did. I honestly don't trust this pit crew at all. Fun Fact: Did you know that Brian Vickers best finish in the last 10 races in 2008 was 11th and his team was caught cheating after that race. Biffle is the only Roush car that is showing a heart beat now but in order to win the championship teams need to do a lot more then that. Anything less then a top 5 for Biffle at Dover will be considered a failure. Can you stick a fork in this team yet? I say hold off for now but their championship chances are greatly reduced. At least he won't have to worry about the R6 motor next year. I bet you didn't know this but Newman now has 4 consecutive top tens in a row. Ryan Newman once owned Dover and even won here without power steering. A good day for this team is crucial for their championship aspirations. One race into the Chase and this team is already 113 points behind Mark Martin. If there performance is flat at Dover then it will be time to stick a fork in them for the year.

Hervé Tullet received his first book prize back in 1998 and has since gone on to become a major figure in children's literature. His children's books are powerful, fun and innovative, keeping kids interested in reading more.
Only last year we were singing praise for Tullet's book, Press Here, which set the literary world abuzz with accolades for originality. Today Hervé fans be prepared as three new books are on the horizon: The Game of Red, Yellow and Blue; The Game of Sculpture; and The Game in the Dark.
These three masterpieces take your little ones on a visual exploration of art and wonder. The Game in the Dark can be literally read with the lights out: the glow in the dark print takes you on a journey to the moon. For kidlets mesmerized by colour, The Game of Red, Yellow and Blue will teach them all about the three primary colours and remove any confusion (I hope) about how blended they create sweet harmonies of new colours. The Game of Sculpture is a treat, check out the image below! Here your kidlet's fingers have the opportunity to really delve into the pages!
Pre-orders are available at a reduced price from the Book Depository, who ship all orders FREE, worldwide.

About Split AC - 1.5TR Hitachi SAC KAZE - RAU318KSD
The Hitachi SAC KAZE RAU318KSD split air conditioner comes with a capacity of 1.5 ton and 3 star rating for energy efficiency. This air conditioner boasts of the Kaimin technology, which adjusts the temperature according to the body needs of the user. It has an auto-humid and auto-climate control, which helps in adjusting the temperature and moisture level in the room according to the ambient conditions. The 4-way air distribution ensures uniform air flow to facilitate cooling large areas in reduced time.
Body & Design
This air conditioner is equipped with pre-coated aluminium fin that are corrosion- and scratch-resistant to facilitate effective cooling for a longer duration. The asymmetric louver movement lets users set the vertical louvers in two opposite directions to provide air flow in all corners of the room.
Functions & Features
The auto-humid control option of this air conditioner is designed to adjust the moisture level in the room according to the ambient conditions. There is an On/Off timer with advanced start up, which turns on the AC before the set time to attain the desired temperature by that time. The auto restart mode of this air conditioner resumes the AC operation after a power cut with previously used settings. This split AC lets users set three customisable modes instead of offering preset modes for enhanced comfort and convenience. It has a filter clean indicator, which notifies users when the filter needs cleaning. Other highlights of this split AC are auto power save mode, selectable fan speeds, dry mode, powerful mode and silent cooling.
Go for the right capacity air-conditioner, bigger is not always better - an oversized air-conditioner is less effective and wastes energy. For maximum efficiency and uniform cooling, ensure that the direction of the cooled air is in the center of the room rather than to the left or right. For optimum cooling install the unit accordingly. The values provided in the table below are just an approximate estimation.
The values given in the table above are generic and for reference only. The actual tonnage required will depend on the actual size of the room, ambient climate, amount of light coming into the room, area of windows, direction of windows, floor number, number of people occupying the room, number of lights and computers in the room.

/ National Databases
There is a wide array of sources for electronic soil attribute data within the NRCS. Soil databases and information are managed and delivered by many independent systems, only some of which are integrated. This page summarizes the available National Databases. Some users may require the data in report format, whereas, others may want the actual database itself.
The information below is for National data. For a summary of Vermont specific data -- click here ->
This site centralizes NRCS GIS soil data distribution. Both Spatial and Attribute (tabular) data are available for download. Tabular data is provided as a set of ASCII delimited files. It is important to also use the MS Access template which defines the linkages and structure of the database. Alternatively, the user can generate a variety of reports (chosen from a list of themes) for one soil survey area at a time.
Soil Data Mart
Soil Characterization Data is stored and maintained by the NSSC Soil Survey Laboratory. This database has thousands of entires for individual soil pedons that have undergone laboratory analysis. Characterization data can include: pH, cation-exchange capacity, bulk density, clay mineralogy, percent carbon. Users unfamiliar with a given soil, may want to consult with a local soil scientist to determine how well a given pedon represents its soil series for the area of interest.

This might be a bit too much information for some people. Please bear in mind that this is specific to me and will be different for anyone else.
Early December, I decided to make an appointment with a Nutritionist. The main reason was to talk about my vegetarian diet and make sure I was getting everything I needed from my diet. After a 2 hour session, the results were definitely enlightening and seriously, some of the questions they ask are really personal. You have to be prepared to talk about every aspect of your body and it's functions and yes, that means your bowel movements including its regularity, consistency and colour. It's really handy to have a sense of humour about it all.
I quite possibly have Candida Overgrowth in my gut. It's basically a fungal overgrowth that grows in the digestive system and feeds on food which has not been digested properly. I don't get thrush (which is NOT a sexually transmitted disease btw but another symptom of Candida) so I would never have picked up on it but my diet and the way I react to certain foods and other things like chemicals in and on my body points to this. I've also been using the pill for the past 12 years and used medication for anxiety in my teen and early 20 years. The way I react to certain foods suggests I also have a little liver damage. These are all contributing factors.
I didn't realise this but Candida is fairly common these days because our diets are based on a lot of processed food - sugar, yeast, alcohol etc. There are apparently other reasons you can get Candida Overgrowth but diet is the main factor and the best way to get rid of it and control it is through a proper diet.
I've also been eating far too many carbohydrates since going vegetarian (April 2007) and don't incorporate enough complete protein. I hate tofu but it looks like I better start liking it if I want to have a more balanced vegetarian diet.
Some of the suggestions I was given in changing my diet to start off with were:
- less sugar, sweetened foods - check labels!
- less alcohol
- less refined foods (carbs - cakes, biscuits, breads)
- less mushrooms and vinegar-y foods
- cut out dairy - opt for soy/rice/oat milk instead
- more cinnamon and garlic to help regulate blood sugars (and stop my sugar cravings)
- more nuts ie. brazil, almonds etc. but not peanuts
- must drink 2L water per day, especially on weekends when I don't
- increase protein intake by taking a bioceutical protein supplement daily (vegan) and/or increasing the amount of complete proteins in my diet eg. Quinoa is a complete protein which can be used to replace rice in meals and making sure I combine my incomplete proteins like beans and rice in one meal to form complete proteins
I'll go back to the Nutritionist and do a follow-up consult in a couple of months. I'll also go to my doctor and see what they think about the diagnosis and read up about it some more independently as well.
Everyday Yogini - we didn't really discuss how long I should make the changes for, I assumed *forever* with the actual diet but it's a good question to ask when I next see them. I wouldn't want to be taking a protein powder supplement for too long, it tastes so artificial.
Alexandra - yes, cheese and yoghurt are my down fall too and icecream even more so! But I used to love coffee too and went cold turkey. I don't miss it and found alternatives like chai and dandelion instead.
Superstar - you know what I'm talking about! The questions really make you think about everything and how it all relates. Pretty amazing stuff. I also want to do it all naturally. I tried the protein powder but it's not something I like. Some people love it. I rather just make sure I'm getting it from food.

There are a lot of veterans in Weyburn and area, and while there is a lot of support for the local veterans, even more support is offered from the Royal Canadian Legion Weyburn branch.
"Veterans can still come here to get support started for them," said Charles (Ford) Thornhill, the new branch services officer for the Weyburn Legion.
"I help veterans fill out the forms, and get things starting by sending those forms to our command server worker. I am here for all veterans," said Thornhill.
Charles was hired by the Legion in February as their new secretary and manger. The new title of branch services officer was just recently approved.
As a veteran himself, Thornhill is very passionate about protecting veteran rights and benefits. He even attended a provincial conference, attended by Dominion Command Direction of the Legion, regarding recent changes to veteran benefits by the federal government.
"It wasn't just strictly Legion members and the DCD, we had everyone there that was connected with veterans," said Thornhill. The provincial meeting was held in both Regina and Saskatoon at the same time, through video conferencing.
Thornhill has a number of personal concerns regarding the changes to veteran benefits.
"One of the concerns I have is how the government is forcing veterans into categories," said Thornhill. "We have categories for the 'one ones' and the 'new ones', but I'm in the middle. My point of view is that we are all veterans, we all wore our uniforms, we all did military service and in some capacity or another, we all served Canada."
"Some of the veterans got hurt, some didn't. Some of the hurts you can see, others you can not see. Not everything is so clean and pressed, and yet the veterans were the first ones to sign a piece of paper and went out to do what we were asked to do," said Thornhill.
The three categories of veterans is seen as the government minimizing their responsibilities, in some areas for groups, said Thornhill. "As example, people in the 'old' group, they might suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress disorder, but it wasn't around at that time so they don't qualify for anything."
"The other concern I have as a veteran is how it appears that veterans are being pushed further and further to the back."
He addressed some of the secrecy behind what veterans were asked to do during the war. "For example, I was a radiation monitor, I walked into radiation," said Thornhill. "It was one of my secondary duties in uniform. In addition to radiation attacks or radiation leaks, my job as an entry monitor was that I was the first person to put on all that stuff and read for radiation."
"Normal people don't do these sort of things," added Thornhill, noting that was just one example of many.
Any veteran who wants more information on the Legion, or the services they provide, are welcome to the Royal Canadian Legion Weyburn branch.

Welcome to my first Editor's Choice post.

All it takes is two simple ingredients, yes that's right, just two! How utterly simple and easy is that?
Stop by and get this delicious recipe for Magic Nutella Ice Cream at Heavenly Treats and Treasures.

I bought this book for my husband for his birthday and it was a great buy. Big pictures of the food...secrets from the man himself, lot's of culinary chemistry. We are both die hard fans but didn't have a chance to go to El Bulli as it is impossible to get into and the last time we went to Spain it was closed. If you are stumped on an idea for Christmas, it might be a good option. Even if you are not a chef sort of person, it makes for a very lovely book on display and weighs 5 pounds or so. He has a new book coming out as well with recipes that are cheap and east to make...new birthday present perhaps? :)

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany lost his appeal against Sunday's red card decision this afternoon.
The Football Association has rejected the defender's appeal against the red card he received during Manchester City's 2-3 defeat to rivals United and will now miss the next four matches.
The ban has not been increased to five matches, something that many feared would happen if the appeal was rejected.
An FA statement said: "The suspension consists of a statutory three-match suspension for serious foul play plus one additional game given this is Kompany's second dismissal of the season."
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was confident that his captain would not receive a ban as the referee made an "obvious error."
He said: "I am sure that we will win [the appeal]".
Kompany, 25, will serve the ban immediately for his two-footed tackle on Nani.
During the half-time break, numerous pundits and media presenters felt that the tackle was not malicious and did not deserve a yellow card.
The Belgian international will miss the Carling Cup semi-final first leg against Liverpool and the return tie on January 25.
He will also be absent from the league trip to Wigan on Monday and the home game against Tottenham on January 22.
Micah Richards received Kompany's captain armband after his dismissal on Sunday and reacted on Twitter to the decision.
He tweeted: "Very disappointed with the decision!!!!! Another blow for us but we have to stay together! We will give 100% for our captain."
The club are now struggling with a growing injury list with further players unavailable because they are on international duty.
"All the people think we have a lot of players," Mancini said. "But we have 19, plus keepers. It is not a big squad.
David Silva is a doubt for Wednesday's home tie against Liverpool, along with fellow strikers Mario Balotelli and Edin Dzeko, while Yaya and Kolo Toure are on Africa Cup of Nations duty.
City have spent approximately £250m on new players since the Italian took charge at the club two years ago.
Kompany's four-match ban:
January 11 - Liverpool (h) Carling Cup semi-final first leg
January 16 - Wigan (a) Premier League
January 22 - Tottenham (h) Premier League
January 25 - Liverpool (a) Carling Cup semi-final second leg

Sorry for the long interlude between posts. We were away for the long weekend–went up to see my in-laws in Corning, NY (which is not "upstate," no matter what my husband says) and show off the Punkin. Of course, it takes time to recuperate from the trip up and back, but here I am at long last clicky-clacking away at my keyboard.
Right before I left for non-upstate New York, I bit the bullet and signed up for National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. Two main ideas drive this event. The first is that the biggest obstacle to writing is procrastination (so, so true). The second, that misery loves company (yup, that's what it says on the website). NaNoWriMo provides the deadline necessary to spur all us procrastinators to words and good deeds, and the company of thousands of like-minded, suffering writers. The goal? Write a 50,000 word novel in one month, starting at midnight on November 1st and ending at midnight on November 30th.
Obviously, the quality is not going to be top-notch, but at least words are going down on paper, which is better than sitting there and staring at a blank page for hours on end. Participants are allowed to make outlines and plot notes ahead of time, but no actual writing. There is no competition, except that of yourself against the clock, and no prizes, other than the satisfaction of completing a novel.
Now that I'm a participant, there's the problem of which novel to work on. I have a fantasy trilogy in the works, but the third is the only one I've not started on yet, and I'm not sure I want to complete book 3 before books 1 and 2. I've got the plotlines and main characters for a dozen different historical romances, but those require a lot of background research. Otherwise I'll end up rewriting the whole story to make it mostly historically accurate–I'm a bit of a stickler for that kind of accuracy (or if the facts must be stretched to fit the story, I at least know what the real facts were). Right now I'm leaning towards the fantasy, but then again…ack! Indecision strikes again.
After I finally decide which story to work on (hopefully before October 31st), I've got to find the time to write. 50,000 words in 30 days works out to roughly 1700 words/4.5 pages a day. That's a lot of writing. And I really can't write unless the Punkin is sleeping (pay attention to the Punkin!). I get the feeling sleep is going to go bye-bye during the month of November. But that's okay. Sleep deprivation does wonders for the imagination.

"Smither is an American original – a product of the musical melting pot and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world."—Associated Press
A profound songwriter, Chris Smither draws deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets, and philosophers. Reviewers continue to praise his dazzling guitar work, gravelly voice and songwriting.
Born in Miami, during World War II, Chris Smither grew up in New Orleans where he first started playing music as a child. The son of a Tulane University professor, he was taught the rudiments of instrumentation by his uncle on his mother's ukulele. "Uncle Howard," Smither says, "showed me that if you knew three chords, you could play a lot of the songs you heard on the radio. And if you knew four chords, you could pretty much rule the world." With that bit of knowledge under his belt, he was hooked. "I'd loved acoustic music – specifically the blues – ever since I first heard Lightnin' Hopkins' Blues In My Bottle album. I couldn't believe the sound Hopkins got. At first I thought it was two guys playing guitar. My style, to a degree, came out of trying to imitate that sound I heard."
In his early twenties, Smither turned his back on his anthropology studies and headed to Boston at the urging of legendary folk singer Eric von Schmidt. It was the mid-'60s and acoustic music thrived in the streets and coffeehouses there. Smither forged lifelong friendships with many musicians, including Bonnie Raitt who went on to record his songs, "Love Me Like A Man" and "I Feel the Same. (Their friendship has endured with Bonnie guest-appearing on Smither's record Train Home and, more recently, she invited him to support one of her dates on her current Slipstream tour.)
What quickly evolved from his New Orleans and Cambridge musical experiences/influence is his enduring, singular guitar sound – a beat-driven finger-picking, strongly influenced by the playing of Mississippi John Hurt and Lightnin' Hopkins, layered over the ever-present backbeat of his rhythmic, tapping feet (always mic'd in performance).
Since the release of his first albums (I'm A Stranger, Too! (1971) and Don't It Drag On (1972), Smither's steady nationwide touring and the regular release of consistently acclaimed albums has cemented his reputation as one of the finest acoustic musicians in the country. His most recent recording, Hundred Dollar Valentine, is a studio record of all Smither-penned songs — a first for him. With longtime producer David "Goody" Goodrich at the helm, this newest collection sports the unmistakable sound Smither has made his trademark: finger picked acoustic guitar and evocative sonic textures meshed with spare, brilliant songs, delivered in a bone-wise, hard-won voice.
Honing a synthesis of folk and blues for more than 40 years, Chris Smither is truly an American original. As Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote, Smither sings about "the big things – life, love, loss – in a penetrating and poetic yet unpretentious way." And with Hundred Dollar Valentine, he's at it again.
Opening the show is Milton, the modern-day troubadour with the distinctive voice and one-name moniker. Meet Milton and you will meet a tall, bookish optimist who will tell you about the "heavy" new group that he heard in a club last night and the old folk recording he listened to this morning with equal enthusiasm. The folksinger has developed a grassroots following for the warmth and spontaneity of his live shows, with a playlist that includes traditional folk, blues and country songs with old time harmonies. Earning comparisons to many of his heroes—Van Morrison, Nick Lowe, The Band—singer-songwriter Milton has distinguished himself with his unique voice and lyrics, a compelling mix of grit and grammar.

Barbaro's Legacy
The effort to save the fallen champion shows how far equine medicine has come in recent years. And how far it still has to go
- By Steve Twomey
- Smithsonian magazine, April 2007, Subscribe
The trophy rested on a mantel in their family room, beside an oil painting. It was elegant, though small. Roy Jackson easily lifted it down and, in the thin gray light of winter, offered it for closer admiration. Engraved in gold was an event: 132nd Kentucky Derby. A venue: Churchill Downs. A date: May 6, 2006. And: Won By Barbaro.
Roy and his wife, Gretchen, live on 190 acres of Wyeth country in southeastern Pennsylvania, up a sinuous driveway that leads to a house on a knoll. They own sheep, cats, cows and dogs, but mostly they own horses. In more than 30 years, they had never had a superlative racer, never had a horse in a Kentucky Derby nor even been spectators at one until that date etched on the trophy. As Barbaro shifted into an unworldly gear in the far turn that Saturday and began flying as if his 19 competitors had been flash-frozen, Gretchen thought, "Oh my gosh, he really is that good."
Victory meant that he had run six races and had yet to lose. Grass (three wins) or dirt (three), the surface didn't matter. The next jewels of the Triple Crown, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, beckoned. Maybe after that, the Jacksons would take him to England to race, just for fun.
Now their 3-year-old colt was living in a veterinary hospital three miles away. He had been there since bones in his right hind leg blew apart in the opening seconds of the Preakness, May 20, 2006. It is mere coincidence, nothing more, that the Jacksons are neighbors of the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center. They did not buy their farm in 1978 to ensure easy visits to sick horses. It just worked out that way. Each day since the accident, they gathered grass from their fields and drove down a two-lane road to the intensive care unit. The home-picked meals were not an official medical regime. They helped keep the bond intact.
Gretchen, 69, and Roy, 70, have known each other since their high-school days in Philadelphia, and finding a more gracious couple would take a long search. As they sat in the family room on a January morning, fenced fields filled the view through a wall of windows. Another wall held a lithograph of six hounds. No one knows to whom the dogs once belonged, but the image has been in Roy's family a while. Imprinted on the lithograph beneath each hound's face is a name. The one farthest right reads "Barbaro."
"He is always in my heart," Gretchen said of the hound's namesake. But seeing him each day was "really, really difficult." He was almost unfailingly alert and playfully nippy, still magnificent, if thinner than before the accident. But looking at the world through a hospital window was not a Thoroughbred's life.
"My thing is," Gretchen said, "when I walk into this house, I let all the dogs out. I let them all run. I just love...."
She stopped, searching for a word.

This article brought back so many memories of Barbaro and his fight for life. I never saw Barbaro in person, but I felt as if I knew a little part of him because of following his fight. When I first saw Barbaro in the paddock before the Kentucky Derby, I thought that he was the most beautiful horse that I had ever seen. His life lesson to me is to always try, to never give up, to keep trying because there may be a bright light just around the corner. Because of Barbaro and the Jacksons, much good has happened and is happening. Long Live Barbaro's Legacy!! WELL DONE BARBARO!!

I'm looking for a way to obtain permission from photographer Eliot J. Schechter to copy the picture of Barbaro's head used on the cover of My Guy Barbaro. I'm a quilter and would so like to use this picture as a model for a small wall hanging. It is for myself as I so loved Barbaro, but it might appear in a few local competitive quilt shows. I will never sell it. I would do the work in hand applique --- a technique called "pictorial" which uses tiny pieces to achieve the shading in the photograph. Thank you so much. Carol Schwankl

Welcome to Strawberry Shortcake Lane |
This site is dedicated to my love of Strawberry Shortcake! Here you'll find information and pictures of dolls and items in my collection. You'll also be able to take a look around my Strawberry Shortcake room and by browsing through "Strawberry Shortcake Lane" just reminisce about why we all fell in love with the little red haired girl who refuses to grow up! Strawberry Shortcake first came onto the scene in 1979, appearing on greeting cards for American Greetings. Kenner began producing and distributing dolls and toys from 1979 to the mid 1980's. Strawberry Shortcake was an immediate hit with children and parents as the dolls had cute smiling faces and adorable pets, all brilliantly named after fruits and desserts! Not to mention, the dolls were also scented to smell like their name! The Strawberry Shortcake character was so popular that there was a large variety of items produced from dolls and playsets to mugs and the kitchen sink...well, a child sized one that is! There are a lot of pictures to see so please be patient as they load :D Enjoy the site and please visit often as I will be updating frequently! |

Google Hotpot; will it work?
Have you ever searched in the internet for a bar or a restaurant and the comments or feedback that is given about that particular place or business is from people that you have never heard of. Who are these people? They could be fake or just made up people. Perhaps you did a Google search for a hotel, after choosing a hotel from the results list the ad also contained comments about the hotel from recent guests – can you trust these comments?
According to Google, this is all going to change. The reviews that are left are only from people that you know and can trust, this is called Google Hotpot.
Google Hotpot was announced in November and is designed to share comments and recommendations with your friends. The process begins by rating the places that you have been to, then adding your friends that would make accurate comments and opinions about the places that they have been to. So, you will then log into the Google HotPot and you want an Indian restaurant in town, assuming that a friend has been and commented about their visit to the same restaurant, you will also see that comment and make a decision to go to it or not.
Since then, Google have advanced the system again. When you are logged into your Google Account and you perform a search, if any of your friends have made comments you can choose to only see those results in the results list. Perfect – feedback on a venue, event or perhaps a local bar from a friend not some unknown person, but will it work in the real word against the likes of Facebook or MySpace.
The plan is that Google will use this method to develop a sharing network that will be included in to the Google search. Could this be the beginnings of a social network? They already have Buzz which is still on the launch pad compared to Facebook, but will HotPot be joining Buzz with a similar disappointing outcome.
The fact that a proper comment is then on the search is really good. This will prevent fake messages and clear the comment sections for only the right content.
Despite this there are pages on Facebook for most Businesses and Places that you can 'like' and receive regular updates about. So how will the Google Hotpot fair, or is this a crafty way to mix social networking with its established search engine?

Cuts to playwork services? Tell us...
Unite the Union has launched a new survey to look at how the current funding cuts to local authorities and voluntary sector organisations have been affecting playworkers, play provision and children.
The survey builds on one carried out in July 2011, which reported that 74% of employers were planning to make cuts, 76% of employers had put staff at risk of redundancy, and over 50% had moved staff away from frontline roles. Respondents reported that over 50,000 children would be adversely affected by the cuts, which affect out-of-school provision, holiday playschemes, adventure playgrounds and community play ranger programmes.
The current austerity measures are leading to the closure of well loved community play services across the country, most located in the most deprived communities.
The survey is here:

Few presidents have interpreted their wartime powers as broadly as Abraham Lincoln, whose presidency—for all of its many successes—did have what some consider a "dark side." Most famously, Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus in the first year of the Civil War, responding to riots and local militia actions in the border states by allowing the indefinite detention of "disloyal persons" without trial. Habeas corpus, which literally means "you have the body," is a constitutional mandate requiring the government to give prisoners access to the courts.
Lincoln ignored a Supreme Court justice's decision overturning his order, and over the next few years, the Great Emancipator, in one of the war's starkest ironies, allowed these new restrictions, which also imposed martial law in some volatile border areas and curbed freedom of speech and the press, to expand throughout the Northern states.
As the war drew to a close, though, some historians believe Lincoln may have begun to recognize the dangers of his own unprecedented expansion of presidential war powers. More than 13,000 civilians were arrested under martial law during the war throughout the Union. But it was in Missouri, in particular, nearly a thousand miles from the nation's capital and far beyond the federal government's day-to-day reach, that Lincoln was confronted with the most dramatic example of his internal security measures' unintended consequences.
In the months before he was assassinated, Lincoln found, to his surprise, that he was unable to convince Missouri's Republican leaders—who had grown accustomed to their newfound powers—to put an end to martial law in the state. The lesson he learned, historians say, may have been a simple one: "It is much easier," says Eric Foner, a professor of history at Columbia University, "to put these restrictions in place than it is to stop them."
When the war started, there was little doubt in Lincoln's mind that his suspension of civil liberties was both necessary and constitutional. His political opponents may have disagreed, but facing a full-fledged insurrection in the South and with the loyalty of Maryland, the state between Washington, D.C., and the rest of the Union, wavering, Lincoln had grounds to worry that the nation's capital was in real danger.
His worst fears were realized in the first month of the war, when a group of Massachusetts soldiers he had ordered south to protect the capital was attacked by an angry mob as the troops passed through Baltimore. The soldiers, panicking, fired into the crowd, killing 12 civilians. Four soldiers were killed, too. Ironically, they were the first casualties of the Civil War.
With Southern sympathizers beginning to cut telegraph wires and burn bridges behind Union lines in Maryland, Lincoln gave the order in April 1861 to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, allowing the Army to arrest and detain without trial those considered "disloyal." His order was limited, at first, to the rail lines between D.C. and Philadelphia, but it soon spread to the rest of the Union.
Legally, Lincoln felt he was on firm ground. The Constitution, after all, explicitly grants the government the power to suspend habeas corpus "in cases of rebellion or invasion," though it is not clear on whether this power resides with Congress or the president. In either case, before the war was over, the Union would face both rebellion and invasion, and in 1863, Congress passed a law, the Habeas Corpus Indemnity Act, in support of Lincoln.
Though he worried privately that these new powers might be misused, Lincoln publicly scoffed at the notion that his administration's suspension of civil liberties would have any long-term consequences. In a letter published before the 1864 election, Lincoln compared the wartime measures to the bitter medicine a patient takes when sick. He could not believe, he wrote, "that the American people will, by means of military arrests during the rebellion, lose the right of public discussion, the liberty of speech and the press, the law of evidence trial by jury, and Habeas corpus, throughout the indefinite peaceful future . . . any more than I am able to believe that a man could contract so strong an appetite for emetics [medicines] during temporary illness, as to persist in feeding upon them through the remainder of his healthy life."
When Lincoln wrote these words, though, some historians argue, he may not have realized just how far things had gone in Missouri. Martial law was declared early in the war in the frontier state, which sent thousands of men to fight for both sides of the Civil War. With the population sharply divided on the issue of slavery, the state was riddled throughout the war by hundreds of small skirmishes, many of them involving neighbors fighting neighbors and guerrilla bands torching farms and crops.

Affectionate friend or something more? Michelle Williams had a happy look on her face this week as she was photographed cozily strolling in her Brooklyn neighborhood with director Cary Fukunaga, who earned critical raves with his recent adaptation of "Jane Eyre."
While the actress' rep didn't respond to our request for comment on the rumored coupling, the placement of the filmmaker's arm around the actress' waist, not to mention her smile, would seem to indicate they're enjoying each other's company.
The sighting comes a little less than two months after a British tabloid claimed that Michelle's ex director beau, Spike Jonze, was trying to woo her back following the fizzling of their year-long romance in the summer of 2009.
Williams, 30, has admitted the romance was doomed because she was grieving the January 2008 death of Heath Ledger, the father of her 5-year-old daughter, Matilda.
"The timing was impossible," she sighed to Vogue in late 2009. "I thought falling in love again was the only thing that was going to save me from the pain. This erroneous idea: It just makes things more complicated."
Michelle, who has denied reports linking her to "Blue Valentine" leading man Ryan Gosling, has acknowledged that there are times when it would be nice to have a significant other, like, for instance, when trying to stay warm and dry in the great outdoors.
"Something that makes me wish I had a boyfriend: I took Matilda [camping] once and tried to pitch a tent," she told People earlier this year. "We were on a slope and slid into a corner."
