Virginia Woolf: Night and Day4. CHAPTER IV (continued)"I don't suppose that often happens to you." "No. Nothing interesting ever happens to me," she said. "I think you make a system of saying disagreeable things, Miss Hilbery," he broke out, again going further than he meant to. "I suppose it's one of the characteristics of your class. They never talk seriously to their inferiors." Whether it was that they were meeting on neutral ground to-night, or whether the carelessness of an old grey coat that Denham wore gave an ease to his bearing that he lacked in conventional dress, Katharine certainly felt no impulse to consider him outside the particular set in which she lived. "In what sense are you my inferior?" she asked, looking at him gravely, as though honestly searching for his meaning. The look gave him great pleasure. For the first time he felt himself on perfectly equal terms with a woman whom he wished to think well of him, although he could not have explained why her opinion of him mattered one way or another. Perhaps, after all, he only wanted to have something of her to take home to think about. But he was not destined to profit by his advantage. "I don't think I understand what you mean," Katharine repeated, and then she was obliged to stop and answer some one who wished to know whether she would buy a ticket for an opera from them, at a reduction. Indeed, the temper of the meeting was now unfavorable to separate conversation; it had become rather debauched and hilarious, and people who scarcely knew each other were making use of Christian names with apparent cordiality, and had reached that kind of gay tolerance and general friendliness which human beings in England only attain after sitting together for three hours or so, and the first cold blast in the air of the street freezes them into isolation once more. Cloaks were being flung round the shoulders, hats swiftly pinned to the head; and Denham had the mortification of seeing Katharine helped to prepare herself by the ridiculous Rodney. It was not the convention of the meeting to say good-bye, or necessarily even to nod to the person with whom one was talking; but, nevertheless, Denham was disappointed by the completeness with which Katharine parted from him, without any attempt to finish her sentence. She left with Rodney. This is page 51 of 460. [Mark this Page] Mark any page to add this title to Your Bookshelf. (0 / 10 books on shelf) Buy a copy of Night and Day at Amazon.com

text: What's the last thing that goes through a cat's mind when it hits the front bumper? It's ass" -Old joke In that brief moment where time stops, when you realize your bike's going down, a lot of things can go through your mind. Most of them involve scenes from your life, or the words, "Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit..." Nobody says to themselves, "This is gonna suck, but hey, nice color on that hood that's accelerating toward my bike." Unless you're Joe Corso. Joe owns Corso Cycles in Woburn, Massachusetts, and had that thought when a Camaro in Synergy Green paint decided to blindside his '09 Street Glide. Joe had the bike out on a goodbye cruise-his way of saying buh-bye to the previous version prior to modding the motorcycle. Or, we should say, re-modding. Starting over again is sort of a hobby for Joe. He's a former network engineer and after his third layoff in two years, Joe was done. He was fed up, needed to do something he loved, and needed to do it now. That's why he jumped ship to making custom motorcycles. Joe's not one of those fair-weather fabricators who got into the business on some whim, though. Classic cars and motorcycles had been in his blood for some time at that point. He was no stranger to rolling up his sleeves and turning wrenches on his machines. His friends thought he was nuts, especially with his first child on the way, but he stuck to his guns. Right about this time, Joe bought a Street Glide. He'd traded in his Springer Classic, put a bunch of cash down, and rode it off to his shop. That is, if by shop, one means a motorcycle lift at one's house. Joe dove in immediately, stripping the then-red Glide down to the frame for changes, round one. That incarnation saw the addition of Bad Dad's extended bags and rear fender, which Joe painted red to match. Eventually, that led him to local custom bike shows, where he started building a small clientele. Time marched on, business grew, and one day Joe found himself in a 2,200-square-foot facility with five bike lifts and a paint booth. And it was all his. This is where starting over comes into play. If you're going to use the same bike over and over to rep your business, you have to refresh it from time to time. Joe started off round two with a healthy dose of pony power, courtesy of Hillside Performance in New York. He is a drag racer, after all. They machined the heads and cylinders to a bolder 107 inches. On top of that, they gave Joe's motor Wiseco pistons, Kibblewhite valves, and Woods 7H cams to take advantage of the handiwork. Stock breathing on a high-displacement motor is a bit of a crime; Joe's Twin Cam got a Screamin' Eagle EFI control and air cleaner for sucking and a Vance & Hines exhaust for blowing. After that, he gathered the parts he wanted, got his crew ready for the project, and purchased Lamborghini green paint for it. That was on a Friday; the Glide was scheduled for surgery the next Monday. Everything was coming together; life was good. So good, Joe took his baby out for nice goodbye cruise into New Hampshire. However, what started off as a going away jaunt came to an abrupt, metal-screeching halt on the sidewalk at a dealership. That's where the Camaro mauled Joe's Street Glide. Bike accidents will always suck, but if fate insists on giving you one, we recommend having it right before you plan on rebuilding your scoot anyway. "Right then, I knew I was going to be calling PPG for that color ('10 Camaro, Synergy Green) Monday morning. The color has a nice gold tint, which works incredibly with the Pearl White from Harley. We toyed with purple, blue, silver, and white pinstriping before settling on the blue we have on there," Joe reminisces. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Mark Masker Enjoyed this Post?

As Publisher/Editor-in-Chief I like to share my experiences with my readers. I needed a new washer at one of my rental properties and two washers for my home as well as a gas dryer. After much Google searching I was lucky enough to find Kimo's Appliances and am glad I did.
I went to the Kimo's Appliances  website and saw a tremendous selection of new and used discounted washers and dryers. There were All-In-One Units: Washer and dryer in one piece, ventless or traditional, 110 volt systems, Front-Load Washers, Top-Load Washers, Gas Dryers, Electric Dryers, Stacked Laundry Units and lots more.
Although tempted to get a used set, for my home, I decided to purchase two new Whirlpool Duet Front Load Washer & Gas Dryer Set for only $849 for both! This amazing price included a warranty, deliver and installation. For my rental property, since the washer is used by four rental cottages, I choose a used heavy duty Whirlpool Gold machine.

I have some answers for you:
Third-tier newspapers. Neighbourhood and college newspapers tend to be members of "newswires". That membership will grant the publication permission to print stories which are posted on the wire. Whenever a story in your city newspaper is prepended by "REUTERS" or "CANADIAN PRESS" or whatever, is a story from the wire. The Associated Press isn't forming NewsRight to chase community papers, because (at least the legitmate or mainstream papers) are already paying customers, and have been for decades.
Paraphrasing. In both American and Canadian copyright law, facts cannot be copyrighted — only creative works conveying facts (i.e. the writing itself). So paraphrasing a story is "okay" it's considered weaksauce journalism, but not illegal. Keep in mind that proper paraphrasing isn't trivial; it involves telling the story your own way, not just changing a couple of words in the original and passing it off as your own. That's "plagarism" (read: copyright infringement) and definitely illegal.
It's worth remembering that there are cases where permissive licenses are attached to text, either implicitly or explicitly. Companies want newspapers to reprint portions of their press releases (although again, "weaksauce journalism"), and occasionally there's a piece of relevant writing licensed under the Creative Commons (though these tend to be opinion pieces and columnists, not news. It's a bit more common for photos.)
I'm happy to try and answer any more questions. (I was the editor-in-chief of a university newspaper.)

"With modern technology, if all there is is music, we don't need musicians to do it.

Careful where you go with that line of thinking. And if anyone says, "there's a difference between a physics lecture, and something creative like music," I would respond that you've never had a good physics teacher. Physics is very creative, once you start getting into the upper levels.
Eric Mazur gave a talk here at the University of Waterloo, and his talk was not about getting rid of lectures, per se. That's something the NPR reporter seems to assume, to the point where (s)he inserted soundbytes from an entirely different physics prof. Mazur's focus is about making the classtime much more interactive, to give students feedback about whether or not they really grasp the concepts. Again, it's about guided creativity. And no, you can't get rid of the professor in that situation.
(Yes, I was a physics major.)

Blockbuster's selection sucked. If you only rented the most popular of movies, you'd probably never notice. But they'd have an entire wall of DVD-release-of-the-week, while completely lacking titles which were only a little out of the mainstream.
Have you ever found Mystery Science Theatre 3000 in a Blockbuster? I haven't, and people looked at me funny when I asked. But it's available at this little local rental place with shelves, stuffed floor to ceiling, with movies. They also have a basement full of obscure anime. That's the rental place which is going to stick around. Places like Blockbuster which trade only in common content will have their lunch eaten by NetFlix and download services. But the stores run by actual local movie nerds offering every obscure title under the sun will still have a reason to exist.
Buh-bye Blockbuster. I won't miss you.


text: Gartner unveiled a preview of its annual 'CIO New Year Resolutions', advising CIOs what to 'start, do more of, stop as well as learn' in 2007. The Gartner resolutions are designed to help CIOs create more value for their business and differentiate their own performance from that of their peers. "2007 will see mounting demand for business growth and agility, rapid development of consumer technology and increasing availability of new infrastructure tools, at the same time as the evolution of the IT organisation continues to pick up pace," said John Mahoney, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. "This will require CIOs to have a fairly ambitious list of 'new year resolutions' for 2007, in addition to the big main agenda projects that other people depend on them to deliver in a timely way." Mark Raskino, vice president and Gartner fellow added, "2007 will bring some genuinely new puzzles that CIOs must solve for themselves or risk 'following the rest of the herd over the cliff'." Gartner's advice on what CIOs should START in 2007 1. Create an IT leadership generation succession plan 2. Track and improve the environmental performance of your IT 3. Identify, enable and provide incentives for true innovators As the baby boomer generation, born 1946-1964, start to retire en masse, IT departments will lose wisdom and leadership. According to Gartner, this also presents an opportunity to clear out some 'dead wood'; for example people that were over-promoted in the early days of IT and some out-dated attitudes stifling progressive thought. Mr Raskino said, "Don't assume the next generation of IT leadership should look the same as the last. Identify your best generation X people born in the 60s and 70s, then start giving them challenging projects and operational responsibilities to complete their experience. Bear in mind that future IT management will need skill traits more common amongst women, people with experience from multiple disciplines, business skills and proven change management success." In addition, identifying individuals with the creativity, ability and a determination to overcome corporate inertia and take new ideas to action is paramount for IT to deliver business innovation. In a poll at the Gartner Symposium this autumn, 80 percent of respondents said this is a priority, however, only 20 percent had a systematic innovation program in place. Mr Mahoney highlighted that climate change, whether real or a widespread perception, is a strategic discontinuity which enterprises, their IT organisations and IT vendors must respond to. "CIOs need to make sure they get their own house in order by setting targets for IT's contribution to electrical efficiency, recycling, travel reduction and equipment lifecycle management," he said. "They should also add environmental sustainability to their list of equipment, services and vendor selection criteria." Gartner's advice on what CIOs should do MORE of in 2007 4. Help HR become strategic 5. Improve frontline business experience 6. Re-establish visibility of total enterprise spend on technology Social networks, collaboration, remote working, collective intelligence and web 2.0; the range of socio-technical phenomena allowing people to interact, create value and contribute it in new ways is changing fast. This will transform the nature of business organisation, labour supply, rights and responsibilities. According to Mr Mahoney, "If marketing was the department to partner with in the first wave of Internet transformation, HR is the function to get on-side as the second Internet 'revolution' washes across your bows. The global talent wars of the next few years will depend on the ability to absorb and exploit revolutionary technical change. CIOs should expect to face a lack of comprehension from the HR department in 2006, however, his or her challenge is to overcome that." CIOs should also consider a scheme to get the IT leadership team into frontline jobs for at least one week each year to experience the daily realities of how the business operates. Over time, this transforms the business' perception of the IT organisation's commitment and reveal powerful new insights on issues like system utilisation and change management priorities.

...In Reply to Studor13 (Edited - Sorry, can't figure why it doesn't appear just after / tied to that message/post?!)
To answer your curiosity:
1 - I don't own any «Think Tank» photo bag.
2 - By unusable I was referring to the new (Lightweight TurnStyle™ Sling Camera Bags) line; as I clearly stated, my opinion - I add now, YMMV.
3 - I can spot flaws in a product - everyone can - without even having/owning one.
4 - The (poor) design/concept already shows, for instance, the zipper(s) will touch/scratch your gear - inevitably - whenever you take/put your photo gear from/into its interior, unless you dedicate one hand for making enough opening; the gear weight will even make it worst. :(
Try doing it when changing lens or bodies! :)
...I could go on, and on, and on, but I guess I would spoil some reviewers job!
Hope I made myself clear, by now.
Best regards,

langleyefc said:moyes has had a stock of players this year, Barkley, Oviedo, Hitzelsberger, Duffy, Velios that he has not played.. basically at all.
this has had a massive impact on the 2nd half of the season.
in the early parts of the season, games against Villa away, Swansea away games where we dominated he never drafted in the fringe players to keep the team fresh and all vying for their places.
what if Velios had grabbed 3 in 5 what if Barkley comes in and scores 2 in 4 he then gives himself options which he seems to strictly beleive he does not have.
if they didnt so what, they get minutes under their belts and it keeps the team fresh.
its always square pegs in round holes.
he has had so many options to chose from but has kept the teams strategy the same all season and like all teams you get worked out.
Fellaini is not a forward and teams are just hacking at him, yet the 20 goal (in greece) Kevin Mirrales is played out wide and never given a chance to show his potential up top.
the Naismith on the right saga was never ever going to work.. what was it in training that was seen that could have possibly led moyes to beleive he had what it takes to play that role?
then there was the big one: Phil "legs went 2011" Neville.
how have people like Barkley (who moyes claims will play for England one day) and ex German international Hitzelsberger not got a game over him?
how on earth is he starting a premiership match anymore?
i have spoken to many people that go the games and everyone is of the same oppinion he plays right back if he HAS to play i.e if there is no other option, yet he is played in the middle of the park with Osman on so many occasions.
Osman has had a relatively good season so the decision to bring him in full time there can be justified to an extent, but if moyes can honestly say at 31 and with his physical condition i.e no pace/strength that he can last 90 mins week in week out inc. cups etc then he is completely wrong.
then there was the Heitinger 4-5 week massacre.
he plays 2 games and is as bad as can be, as a fringe player this is your chance.
a manager should recognise that the out of form player needs to be pulled out.
Duffy was sat there waiting for his chance and the thing is it came but he wasnt allowed to take it....
the Baines Piennar disconnection.
they look so so tired now its untrue.
but more importantly is was being doubled up on, it was being nulified week in week out after say November and it was never changed, no piennar to the right, oviedo drafted in, piennar in the middle giving Osman a chance on the left to mix it up, nothing to suggest he had noted that the left hand side wasnt working anymore.
Jelavic not scoring.
yet another striker off the boil as moyes uses his just run tactics.
putting fellaini up top to just flick it on is not jelavic's game and he just runs and runs like an idiot all afternoon.
there are so many more blaitant individual mistakes by moyes this year while he still uses the squad size excuse which i just dont buy into.
the squad was far larger than he has everyone beleive he just chose to ignore it.

BlueShark said:A good opening post langleyefc, and i agree with all you said in it.
The main issue for me is how on Saturday Neville got picked in a midfield position ahead of Hitz, Barkley and Gibson. Even accounting for what DM sees in training and we don't it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Whoever coined the definition of insanity as 'doing the same thing over and over again whilst expecting different results' probably has a season ticket at Goodison.

I've used silver and "aluminum" pint before but never had such a brilliant finsh as this stuff gives. I'm curiouls why it would dull the finish by touching it unless it causes it to tarnish. Maybe lightly polishing would bring it back...? |

innate chrome paint(which is one of the best chrome paint on the market) against a very well preped rattle can spray paint(enamel) on looks they look very similar but on durability the enamel is very weak(rubbs off to easily)
how to prep a piece(in this case plastic spoons) this is the order: black base coat, then glossy clear coat(I use 2k urethane) after cured then the chorme paint

ok now on how to make normal aluminum paint loos more realistic(close to real chrome, but not quite)
ok first you need to prep the piece just like the chrome paint(super glossy black as base) in this case I used single stage enamel and cure it for 1 day, then grab your normal metallic paint(medium grain size, the smaller the grain size the better it will look, I just dont have access to very small sized grain).. a little will go along way, what I do is dilute the metallic paint about 300%(can be 350 but no less than 300) that meas for 1/32th of a gallon(I can get very small quantities of car paint) I dilute it with lacquer thiner to 1/4 of a gallon(pour the 1/32 on a 1 quart bottle and fill it up with thiner) in my case I wanted a black chrome or smoked metallic look, so I put a little black on there too... ok here are a few pics and videos, sprayed the diluted metallic on graphics and letters so you can see how thin and transparent the metallic coats are, they are this transparent because we need the shine and the mirror look of the black base and that´s why its very important for the black to be as glossy as possible...
black chrome helmet(at least trying to look like one) the helmet is a worn and used one..

Nicamarvin, I like what you did but the Inate stuff is too expensive for my budget.
I tried several brands of paint on a quest for a realistic aluminum finish that does not look polished. I discovered the ACE product product prior to discovering this thread and like it better than any other I have tried but it has been a nightmare. It is too polished-looking and remains soft long (days) after application and as noted in preceding posts is easily marred. I have tried various clear top coats including enamel, shellac and water-based Polycrylic but none have worked. All of them turn the finish into something that looks like lead or pewter. If anyone has a suggestion for a suitable clear coat please post. |
Nov 25, 2012, 01:11 PM | |
I was thinking of trying some kind of a spray wax. I haven't actually tried it yet, but it might work. Thinking if it's sprayed on and allowed to dry it should add to the shine once you buff it out. Or..... i could be living in a fantasy. Either way thought it would be worth a try.

Title: Keeping The Promise: The Critical Need for Post-Adoption Services to Enable Children and Families to Succeed
Author: Susan Livingston Smith
Published: 2010 October. New York NY: Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute
Document Type: Policy Brief (99 pages)
Availability: PDF Full Report |
Executive Summary |
Web Page |
Press Release I
An extensive examination of adoptive families in the United States, concludes that too many are not receiving the essential services they need, and calls for a reshaping of national priorities and resources to develop and provide such services.
In an effort to demonstrate the breadth of professional support for a "paradigm shift," major child welfare and adoption organizations across the country joined in endorsing the 116-page report, which was researched and published by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute and is entitled "Keeping the Promise: The Critical Need for Post-Adoption Services to Enable Children and Families to Succeed."
The report stresses that the vast majority of adopted children function normally — and their parents are highly satisfied with their families. But it also points out that just over the past 15 years, nearly a million boys and girls were adopted by Americans from foster care in our country and from orphanages abroad, and the majority of U.S. adoptions continue to be of those types (by far, mostly from state child welfare systems).
"What it means is that these children live with the emotional, psychological and developmental consequences of having been abused, neglected or institutionalized before they were adopted," said Adoption Institute Executive Director Adam Pertman. "The good news is that most of them, and their families, are doing just fine; the bad news is that the ones who need help too often aren't getting it."
The Adoption Institute report, which is the most comprehensive compilation of knowledge about post-adoption services to date, recommends that "the paradigm has to shift" from simply forming families to providing the supports needed to raise children to healthy adulthood. Among its recommendations are to:
- Convene a national leadership task force to shape/ promote changes in policy and practice.
- Develop public-private partnerships and dedicate federal funding for post-adoption services.
- Make such services a routine part of federal, state and local child welfare planning/financing.
- Fund and conduct critically needed research to develop/ assess the most effective services.
Executive Summary
Several months ago, when the media focused the nation's attention on yet another sensational adoption story - this time about a Tennessee mother who put her 7-year-old son on a plane back to Russia – all sorts of disquieting questions flowed through people's minds. They ranged from the rhetorical ("What kind of mother would do such a thing?") to the important ("Are children in orphanages being adequately cared for before adoption?") to the inadvertently stigmatizing ("If a child can be so easily `returned,' is adoption really permanent?").
Most child welfare and adoption professionals watched the drama with better-trained, more-experienced eyes, however, and so they raised very different questions. For example: "Did the mother get accurate information about the boy before adopting, as well as training and education, so she would be prepared for the challenges of parenting a child who had been institutionalized?" And, most pointedly: "Were post-adoption services readily available to her so that she could help her son, and herself, rather than giving up?"
Over the last two decades, our nation has seen steep increases in the number of adoptions from foster care in the United States and from orphanages abroad – which, combined, make up the vast majority of non-stepparent adoptions; i.e., we have made considerable progress in finding enduring families for girls and boys who have suffered from abuse, neglect, multiple placements, institutionalization and other pre-adoption experiences that can cause them physical, psychological, emotional and developmental harm. Now the paradigm has to shift, and our priority must be not only to achieve permanency, but also to assure that adoptive parents receive the supports they need to raise their children to healthy adulthood.
This research-based report by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute represents the most extensive compilation of knowledge in the area of post-adoption services to date, and it's goal is unambiguously ambitious: It is to broaden the understanding of this critical issue by the public, professionals and policymakers – and to promote a commensurate realignment of state and national priorities and resources – so that effective, accessible supports for sustaining and strengthening adoptive families become a routine, ongoing reality. The bottom line is that best practices should entail not only helping to form families, but also enabling them to succeed.
In an overwhelming majority of cases, adoption is genuinely beneficial and permanent; it's important to remember that "man bites dog" is a story and so, by definition, accounts such as the one about the boy sent back to Russia are the exception rather than the rule. That is the good news. The bad news is that, when adoptions do fail, the economic and social costs to our country are considerable, and the toll on the children and families involved is even greater. Furthermore, for every adoption that doesn't work out, there are many more – though it must be stressed, still a minority – in which the families struggle every day to address the often-serious, sometimes-unnerving problems their children developed before they were adopted.
In addition to assistance for adopted children and their families, post-adoption services for birthparents and their families also are vitally important, although much less developed. A few adoption agencies and foundations have devised supports to meet the needs of birthparents, but there is no research on how well they work, so this is an area that requires far more attention. The Adoption Institute has done some work relating to women and men who relinquish their children – including our 2006 report "Safeguarding the Rights and Well-Being of Birthparents in the Adoption Process" – and we are currently engaged in additional research on the subject. This current publication, however, centers solely on supports for families after adoptions take place, with particular emphasis on those adopting boys and girls who have suffered early adverse experiences.
It is important to underscore the breadth and depth of sentiment in the fields of adoption and child welfare regarding the need for heightened attention to post-adoption services in national and state policy, in professional practice, and in families' everyday lives. Toward the end of demonstrating this consensus, this paper – including its findings and recommendations – is being endorsed by major organizations and agencies including: the Child Welfare League of America, the North American Council on Adoptable Children, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, Voice for Adoption,1 the American Academy of Adoption Attorneys, the National Council for Adoption, the Joint Council on International Children's Services, the Adoption Exchange Association, the Kinship Center, Lutheran Social Services of New England, Spence-Chapin Services to Families, The Cradle, Bethany Christian Services, the Center for Family Connections, the Center for Adoption Support and Education, the New York State Citizens' Coalition for Children, Wide Horizons for Children, Adoptions Together, Children's Home Society of North Carolina, and Adoption Resources of Wisconsin. Additional organizations support this work and plan to utilize and disseminate it, but are constrained by governmental or other regulations from becoming official "endorsers." All these organizations, and many others across the U.S., recognize that the development and use of post-adoption services is a critical need to sustain adoptive families and are united in advancing the recommendations below.
"Keeping the Promise" examines the range of service needs for adoptive families. It describes the challenges faced by these families, examines the research on adoption outcomes, and discusses the risk and protective factors for children and families that predict more positive, as well as more negative, adjustments. To date, there has not been a synthesis of knowledge in the field of post-adoption services that surveys the many clinical and family-support approaches being used and derives insights from research and program evaluations. This report by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute seeks to provide such a synthesis and to identify key directions for the future development of post-adoption services. Our primary findings include:
- Most adopted children, because they suffered early deprivation or maltreatment, come to their new families with elevated risks for developmental, physical, psychological, emotional, or behavioral challenges. Among the factors linked with these higher risks are: prenatal malnutrition and low birth weight, prenatal exposure to toxic substances, older age at adoption, early deprivation, abuse or neglect, multiple placements, and emotional conflicts related to loss and identity issues.
- Protective factors in children and families (such as the child's easygoing temperament, parents having realistic expectations and thorough adoption preparation, open communication and warm, positive parenting style, as well as support from extended family and others) can buffer the impact of adverse beginnings, help prevent and resolve problems, and promote resilience. Indeed, the majority of adopted youth are functioning within the normal range, including those who came from adverse situations, and well over 90% of parents in every type of adoption are satisfied with their adoptions.
- The utilization of clinical services by adoptive families is about triple the rate reported by birth families (Howard, Smith, & Ryan, 2004; Vandivere, Malm, & Radel, 2009). Part of this difference is due to a greater willingness or desire to seek help, but it also is related to a greater need for assistance. Adopted children also are more likely than their non-adopted peers to score in the clinical range on standardized behavior problem measures.
- The layers of issues and dynamics present in complex, chronic adjustment difficulties are often not understood by adoptive parents or the professionals they contact - i.e., teachers, school personnel, pediatricians, and others. The type of help parents seek most is adoption-competent therapy, but research indicates that most mental health professionals lack relevant training. Furthermore, additional types of services shown to be most effective in meeting the needs of many families are not readily available.
- The development of specialized post-adoption supports began primarily in the late 1980s and 1990s, but it has slowed considerably over the past decade. These services include information and referral, education and training, support groups and mentoring, respite care, advocacy, crisis intervention, search/reunion services, and therapeutic counseling.
- Many exemplary services have been developed, primarily through federally funded demonstration projects and initiatives supported by state child welfare systems, but funding constraints have led some to be terminated, others to be scaled back, and yet others to be offered on very limited bases. In addition, many such services are available only to families who adopt from foster care and not to others, regardless of need.
- Research on post-adoption programs is scarce, and few, if any, studies rise to the level of rigor needed to substantiate empirically based effectiveness. This is an area of critical need for the development of services that will help the greatest number of children and families.
Creating effective post-adoption services and making them accessible to all families who need them are the primary challenges in the field of adoption and child welfare to assure permanency for children who cannot live with their birth families and to help them develop to their fullest potential. In order to promote progress in these areas, based on the year-long research for this report, our recommendations include:
- Create a national task force to provide strategic planning and legislative leadership for the development of post-adoption services – composed of representatives from the U.S. Children's Bureau and the U.S. Department of State, as well as post-adoption experts, practitioners, and researchers. The task force needs to collect information, discuss key issues, and draft proposals/legislation to promote additional funding, policy changes, and practice improvements. This needs to be a long-term, sustained initiative to ensure that the effort is not ephemeral, but brings about continuing progress.
- Develop private and public funding partnerships to maximize services and access to them for families, including a dedicated federal funding stream for post-adoption services. Providing consistent support from the top would not only create a reliable financial base, but also would serve as a clear message – or even a mandate – about the import of such supports.
- Public policy and child welfare officials at every level – federal, state, county and local – should re-examine their current budgets, staffing and other resources to determine whether sufficient priority is being given to helping families succeed as well as forming them. Going forward, post-adoption services should become a clearly defined, integral operational and programmatic component of adoption-related planning and financing at all levels. In conjunction with other stakeholders, each state should develop a strategic plan for developing and delivering a comprehensive continuum of post-adoption services.
- The amount of funded research on post-adoption interventions should be increased significantly in order to create an evidence base on services that are most effective, and the resulting findings and information must be systematically disseminated to adoption practitioners. Creating a workgroup of multiple federal research entities, including experts in this field, would provide leadership for promoting such research.
- " University, graduate and continuing education curricula on adoption issues need to be created for and provided to the professionals who work with adopted children and their families. Teachers, school counselors and psychologists, medical professionals, social workers and other mental health professionals would all benefit from training in this area.
Additional recommendations, as guidance for professionals and policy-makers, include:
- Minimize damage to children in the child welfare system and elsewhere. Providing sensitive nurturance after separation from birth families, minimizing moves in care, finding the right home as early as possible, and giving support through transitions are all aspects of this goal.
- Prepare parents to expect some ongoing challenges and to understand the benefits of post-adoption services. Parents need help to understand the specific children they adopt, including the needs they may have because of the personal histories they bring with them.
- Identify children at high risk of developing later difficulties and provide their families with early intervention services and linkage with ongoing resources. Supports for these families are essential to help them gain a firm foundation and optimize their prospects for success.
- Halt reductions in subsidies and post-adoption services, and raise them wherever possible by realigning priorities. Such cutbacks only serve to discourage families from adopting, resulting in greater expenses for foster care and higher costs to the state in other areas.
- " End state policies that effectively force adoptive parents to relinquish their children to the child welfare system in order to receive services they need. Everyone's interests are better served when these children and youth are permitted to get services, such as residential treatment, while remaining as members of their families.
This report's title, "Keeping the Promise," refers to the covenant that is inherent between parents and children when adoptions take place: to become a safe, permanent family. In practice, however, the covenant is far broader – and should be. It is also between adoption professionals and the families they serve, and between state or federal governments and the families they help to create. Over the last 15 years alone, Americans have provided families for over a quarter of a million children who had been relegated to institutions abroad. Through legal and policy changes during the same period, the federal government has aggressively supported the adoptions of close to three-quarters of a million children from foster care, and now it needs to act just as forcefully to sustain them. We have a long way to go on the road toward finding safe and loving homes for the most vulnerable members of society, but we have made honest progress. Now it is time to refocus our attention and broaden our priorities if, as a culture, we are to move beyond well-intentioned rhetoric – and be good to our word.

So in celebration of being ensconced in the final chapter of the 'The Wonder Years Version 50′ I found myself on my own for the auspicious date. Oh dear, what's a boy to do ? It just so happened that Chicago Blues-man Nick Moss and, his band, the Flip Tops were coming to Rochester to help me with my load. I thought that was pretty cool of them. That being said I did my best to collect a posse of friends who might want to buy me lots of drinks and food and help keep this poor boy out of trouble Well, well, well did I ever work that situation out nicely! We convened at the world famous Dinosaur BBQ (where the music is always free) for some award winning 'Que and liquid enrichment. Thus setting ourselves up for the musical entertainment portion of the night.
What a perfect choice ! Nick and the band opened up with a well constructed instrumental that was painted in broad brush strokes containing elements of jazz and a beat that had the crowd shakin' their hips and heads to it. Now this might not sound like anything remarkable, but the audience was not your typical blues crowd. Running concurrently at the War Memorial was the 'Jingle Jam' a holiday event featuring such bands as Fall Out Boy and other severely non-blues acts. Yet the proximity of the Dino allowed some of the artists and fans to wander over and see what was happening. At one point early into Nick's set drummer, Patrick Seals and bassist Matthew Wilson were putting down a deep soul R&B pocket as Nick and Michael Ledbetter were sharing vocals when the entire crowd of 'Jingle Jammers' were dancing and head weaving to the groove. It was at that moment I remarked that one could have had someone on stage doing Howlin' Wolf or Muddy lyrics in a hip-hop manner and it would have been absolutely great. At the conclusion of that song the Jingle Jammers bopped their way out of the Dino waving to Nick and the band looking very satisfied that they came and stayed for a spell.
In that moment we were shown the power of music to bring people together, two diverse – but not unrelated – musical forms seeing the commonality of the music and crossing the lines that the genre Nazis create to keep us separate.
Nick then settled into a wide range of songs, working the jazz-fusion end of the spectrum with the help of some outstanding keyboard work by A. Travis Reed. Mr. Reed displayed quite the range and understanding of the Blues Piano family tree at one point as Nick would call out the names of past masters and Travis would just slide in and out of their styles.
Mr. Michael Ledbetter was given ample room to shine as the rhythm guitarist and vocalist. His voice is pure like honey from the bee, and offers a nice counter-point to Nicks' fuller and resounding vocal style. The band seems to be a very nice fit with Nick. Their professionalism and abilities have allowed Mr. Moss to fully expand his musical explorations. There were moments when Nick settled into a grove or ventured outside the standard framework and the band were always right there to help shine the light for his re-entry into the selection. I think that in it's current configuration the Flip Tops will bring more of the well deserved praise from fans around the world.
His style has progressed into so much more than being a guitar playing 'Chicago blues-man'. His technique and roots are undoubtedly Chicago based, but it has gone beyond what people might consider the oft' spoke 'Chicago style'. This style has evolved throughout the many years since Muddy plugged in, bringing in funk, R&B influences as well as touches of Prince and a smattering of psychedelia to the table. Nick is well equipped to move the style forward as he calls upon these influences and then adds his own later of Moss to it.
To add to our delight Nick brought up Rochester's own Blues legend, Mr. Joe Beard to do a few numbers with the band. Doing his outstanding version of 'Gambler's Blues' (aka Blues Deluxe) he simply stunned the young ladies who met me there. They are not that well acquainted with the Blues – so it was all about the music and the talent and Joe Beard put it all out there for them to see and made them begin to see what is out there for the taking. Later in the second set Nick brought up Joe's son Chris Beard. Chis is a hard rocking, guitar plowing blues-man who tore up the crowd with his 'Mike Singletary' facial expressions and incendiary guitar work. Man what a treat ! Ace photographer Martin Goettsch had such a blast he went the next night to Syracuse to do it all over again.
Nick and the Flip Tops have a new release out on Blue Bella Records, titled, 'Here I Am'. In it he pushes that evolution we spoke about both sonically and stylistically. Oh yeh, I stole some of that from none other than Jimmy Thackery did on the back cover of "Here I Am'. I bought a copy of the new disc and gave it to my young femme fatales so that they can dig deep and keep it as a reminder for the night that they truly found the Blues.
Oh by the way, the ladies (Krystina & Diana) are meeting us very soon for another national blues act at the Dino, as will Craig and Pete, so it's looking good for the Blues!
So as far as birthdays went – it went really, really well. I made it through the night, with the help of some good friends, saw the healing power of music displayed, introduced some young adults to the Blues, and got to see one of America's finest young blues bands out there Nick Moss and The Flip Tops. Can't beat that with a stick, as we used to say in the projects !

Until next time,
Love, Peace & Chicken Grease

James "Jim" Ernest Fuller passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2012 in Florida.
Born in Detroit on October 17, 1939, Jim attended the University of Michigan. He lived for many years in Detroit, then moved to Grand Rapids, where he and his wife raised their family.
Suzanne and Jim moved to Boca Grande in 1994, and last December he and Suzanne celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary amidst family and friends there. Jim was genuinely fulfilled by connecting with people for whom he cared, and there were many. He loved catching up with friends, whether over a cocktail or his various lunch dates, regardless of how much time may have passed since their last meeting.
If there was ever a lover of the written word, it is Dr. Frank Downing. The former English teacher, football coach, and academic athletic advisor has spent the last three winters on Gasparilla Island teaching the children at The Island School to love poetry, to understand Shakespeare, and to communicate through writing.
One of his primary objectives is to teach and encourage children to write from an early age.
"Most kids have a huge listening vocabulary," he said. "Next is speaking, and then reading. By the time you get to their writing vocabulary, it's next to nothing."
