For the first time in his golf career, Northbrook resident Nick Hardy is in the field at the Western Amateur.
The tournament — among the toughest tests in amateur golf with past winners like Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson — starts Tuesday at The Beverly Country Club on Chicago's South Side. The 156-player field includes many of amateur golf's rising stars, including Alabama sophomore-to-be Robby Shelton, who was instrumental in delivering the Crimson Tide an NCAA Championship earlier this year.
"This is definitely one of the biggest tournaments of the year," Shelton said. "Everyone here is locked in to win it. It's in the same category as the U.S. Amateur."
A year ago, Hardy played in his first U.S. Amateur, where he was one of 64 players out of 312 to advance to match play.

Bringing up Children
|Taking Care of Your Child With Compassion
|A student wrote to Rinpoche about being unable to practice Dharma after having a baby.
My most dear, most kind, most precious wish-fulfilling Samantha,
Thank you very much for your kind letter. As you expressed your life, so I understand.
Regarding life and taking care of children, the Buddha taught Hinayana and Mahayana, and within the Mahayana, there is sutra and tantra. In order to be free from the oceans of samsaric sufferings and the causes—karma and delusion—and to achieve nirvana, there is the Hinayana, the Lesser Vehicle path. Then there is the Mahayana path, given to achieve enlightenment for sentient beings, to free the numberless sentient beings from the oceans of samsaric sufferings and the causes and to bring them to nirvana, the sorrowless state. Not only that, but to bring them to full enlightenment, peerless happiness, the cessation of even the subtle obscurations, and to complete the perfect qualities and realizations, the omniscient mind.
|Advice During Pregnancy
|A letter to a student who was having a baby.
My very dearest, very precious one,
I have read your letter. Actually, Roger informed me what you have written in your letter. I was very happy that you wanted to explain to me your life changes, what happened. I must tell you, express to you, that I was very, very happy to meet you at the house. My heart is with you, in your heart. I am extremely sorry for the long delay in writing or talking to you. My heart is with you.
It is very good you have received the child with him. You should always pray that the child will be most beneficial to sentient beings—to numberless hell beings, pretas, animals, humans and asuras—like Buddha Shakyamuni, or like His Holiness the Dalai Lama; like Tara, like the Medicine Buddha; like Chenrezig, the embodiment of all the Buddha's compassion; like Vajrapani, the embodiment of all the Buddha's power; like Manjushri, the embodiment of all the Buddha's wisdom. [Pray that the child will not give] the slightest harm, so he won't generate harmful thoughts to himself or to others at all; [pray that] he will generate loving kindness, bodhicitta, loving others, which is the cause of happiness for this and future lives. [Pray that he will attain] liberation from samsara, enlightenment, peerless happiness, cessation of all the mistaken minds, even the subtle ones, and the completion of all the realizations.
As a parent, you have to be a good example for the child, as he will copy the life from you. You must educate the child in those things which are not taught in school, college or university, unless there are Buddhist teachings. This is the most important thing in life.
The only thing for you to do is to create positive karma, which results only in happiness, so this life is filled with only happiness, so that much of your wishes get fulfilled in your life. This is the best advice and the best business so that your wishes will be fulfilled. The best thing is that your wishes are fulfilled, not only for this life, but also for future lives, and for ultimate happiness, liberation from the ocean of suffering, and peerless enlightenment.
These are the things to educate your child in:
Kindness to others, not only to human beings, but also to animals, and even to the spirits, day and night.
Rejoice every time you hear or see good things happening to others—if somebody has a good car, is rich, has a beautiful body, beautiful friends, or any of the good things that others have. So that good karma naturally becomes the cause to fulfill your wishes; it works dependently. Rejoicing does two things: it brings happiness to others and it brings happiness to you, in this life and in future lives.
Practice patience
Train your mind in practicing patience, instead of allowing anger to arise, which can blow up your life and the lives of others; it can even blow up the world. As you know, historically one man killed many millions of people in the world. We don't want this to happen to our children and to ourselves. It is the lack of practice of patience that causes all these problems.
Practice contentment
That means inner peace and satisfaction with the life; that is the answer. Most people in the world who do not practice Dharma try to change the outside world, but those who practice Dharma can change their own mind. When we let go, we receive happiness; but when we cling, we don't get happiness. This is extremely important. Of course, we want to cause happiness for others, to cause everything to become limitless happiness, wealth. This is always good. When we do that, even if we don't have attachment to our own needs, we receive [happiness] even without thinking.
Whenever others get angry at us, cheat us or say nasty words, immediately we generate forgiveness, otherwise we give harm back and we create negative karma, and this is the cause of receiving harm from others. So if we generate forgiveness, the result is only happiness. Practicing forgiveness becomes a cause to fulfill our wishes, now and in the future.
In daily life, if we give harm or say harmful words, immediately apologize, so it brings harmony to ourselves and others. It brings peace to the world, like this, from person to person. It is very important to train the mind in this way.
If you feel discouraged, think the human mind has so much potential. As the great bodhisattva Shantideva said in the Bodhicaryavatara, "If you get upset, there is no point to be worried; there is no meaning to worry. If it is something you can change or you can do, there is no point to worry. Just achieve it, do it."
For example, if you want a huge mountain to be made of gold, or if you want the sky to become gold, this doesn't make sense, so just let go. So there is no reason to be worried; just accept and let go. If there is something you can do, there is no need to worry about it; just do it. Like that, this quotation is extremely good when we are experiencing problems or creating problems with our mind. This is very, very important for the education of children.
I love you, with much prayer to you...
|About Having a Child
|Rinpoche gave the following advice to a student who was about to give birth to a child.
Since you have directed your life in this way, to have a child, you have a great responsibility now to bring up your child. Without saying many words, I just want to inform you that you should plan to lead the child's life in the style of Universal Education (UE). First, if you can study the UE subjects I put together. There are five very basic attitudes and qualities to teach the child, so that your child can bring happiness to this life, from life to life, bring happiness to all sentient beings, cause less harm to others, and eventually bring all sentient beings to full enlightenment. This means knowing Buddha Dharma and educating others, and then bringing your child in the path to enlightenment.
These five very basic attitudes are very important to keep in one's mind. This is the cause of inner peace and happiness for your child, also to give peace and happiness in everyday life to others. In this way, wherever your child is, in whatever part of the world, he or she still brings happiness to so many sentient beings, human beings, animals, and all other beings.
These five basic attitudes are:
1) Kindness
Have kindness not only towards friends, but to strangers, especially to one's enemies, and to everyone. Generate kindness day and night for everybody, every human being, animal, etc. Practice kindness all the time, sincerely, from your heart. Think of others' happiness and cherishing others. This makes all your actions very pure Dharma. Even if you don't explain all this to your child, you can educate through example. This creates a good, happy life, and it becomes pure Dharma against the self-cherishing thought. This is the antidote, the medicine, for all the sicknesses, and the chronic disease of the self-cherishing mind, which has been affecting us from beginningless rebirths and harming us all the time, from time without beginning. If you don't generate this mind in this life, when you have all the opportunities, then it means you will continue to suffer forever. This practice is unbelievably beneficial. By practicing kindness, there is always joy and happiness in your life, always fulfillment. It makes your life so meaningful when you practice kindness to others. It always makes your life fruitful, meaningful, and useful. Then, one has no time, no space for depression or suicidal thoughts; one is always able to enjoy unbelievable happiness.
2) Rejoicing
Whenever you see good things happening to others, for instance, you see someone has a better house or car than you, you rejoice. If someone has found a friend, found great success in business, any good thing that happens to others that you hear or see, all the time, rejoice. Think how wonderful it is that this sentient being had this happen. Rejoice in others' wealth, beauty, education, power, etc. It doesn't mean you are desiring or wanting these things. This is a bodhisattva's attitude, when good things happen to others, to rejoice. Rejoicing is the antidote to jealousy. The delusion jealousy is an obstacle to your own success and happiness in this life and future lives, including liberation and enlightenment. It is not only an obstacle to your own happiness but also an obstacle to the happiness of others. The antidote to this is rejoicing in every single success. When you rejoice it becomes an unbelievable source of success for you. The result of rejoicing once is success in one's life and for many hundreds and thousands of lifetimes. You can also practice rejoicing when you do the seven limbs or in the lam-rim. Rejoicing is such an easy way to collect the most extensive merits. Every second that you rejoice in your own merits you collect limitless skies of merits. Also, when you rejoice in others' merits, you collect even more merit, and all the merit collected since beginningless rebirths is doubled. If you rejoice in bodhisattvas' merit, and there are numberless bodhisattvas, this is unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable; you can't imagine the merit one can create. From rejoicing in numberless Buddhas' merits, even just the merits they create in one day, you collect more merit than normally it would take ten thousand years to create (without rejoicing). This is just to give you an idea how important this practice is. Rejoicing always keeps one's mind happy. It fills one's heart with inner peace and happiness.
3) Tolerance
Anger is more harmful than all the dangers of the wind, earth, and fire put together. These dangers just separate one's consciousness from one's body (cause death), but the real harm, the real danger, is anger. It can destroy all one's merits, all the causes of enlightenment, all one's causes for liberation from samsara, and it can destroy the cause of happiness in this life, future lives, and all one's successes. Anger causes harm to sentient beings, as well as to oneself, from life to life. Also, it causes other sentient beings to get angry, which then causes them to experience heavy suffering. Being tolerant always keeps one's mind in peace: peace for one's family, husband, wife, child, neighbor, country, and the whole world; from life to life there is peace and tolerance for all sentient beings.
4) Contentment
Without contentment, one follows desire. By following desire one generates negative minds and other negative emotions. This causes negative karma, which causes harm to oneself as well as to others. It also causes other sentient beings to create negative karma, which creates the cause for them to suffer; it brings other sentient beings to the lower realms, besides oneself. So, having contentment is very important. Otherwise, without contentment, you can become crazy. Following desire is only the cause for continuous suffering, not only for individual sentient beings but for the society, country, and globally, for all sentient beings. So many millions of billionaires have everything, so much wealth, but all of this is created by following desire, so they can never be satisfied, always wanting to be wealthier, and then engage in harming others and cheating others; their life becomes like a prison. This is without mentioning the result that they are creating which will take them to the lower realms or future human rebirths, suffering for many hundreds and thousands of lifetimes. You can see that this is very important, particularly to educate about and teach this. Also, it is important that you don't destroy your life with drugs, alcohol, and many other things. Without contentment one can get depressed, one isn't able to find meaning in one's life, and one causes more suffering. So, it is very dangerous, because thinking in this way can destroy your most precious human life, that gives one all the opportunities for all happiness up to enlightenment, liberation from samsara, as well as the happiness of all future lives, including this life. Developing contentment gives the opportunity to totally change one's mind and develop bodhicitta, loving kindness, and compassion for all living beings, numberless beings in each realm. It becomes the cause of happiness in all future lives, liberation from samsara, everlasting happiness, and brings you to full enlightenment. Along the way it causes happiness even in this life. You can see that in one second of this precious human life one can actualize this, so to not do this is a very foolish thing. One's mind is not thinking of Dharma, of the purpose of life, the real meaning of life, which is to benefit others, to free others from all sufferings, and bring them to enlightenment, everlasting happiness. Not generating a good heart, not thinking of others, only thinking of oneself, one's own happiness, is completely the wrong way to think. By thinking of others' happiness, it is unbelievable what you can achieve, all the happiness, not only happiness in this life, now, today. Cherishing the "I" causes all the problems that one experiences now. It completely occupies the mind, and then one can become suicidal, even kill oneself, for no reason at all. By not thinking of the real cause of the problems, one's mind is full of problems, and one continues to create more suffering and the causes of the lower realms. Whether one is reborn in hell or as a happy migratory being depends on one's karma; the answer is karma. If one kills oneself, one just goes to the lower realms, the hell realms, where there is the most unbelievable suffering, and where one experiences the heaviest suffering in samara for an unimaginable length of time. Then, when one's karma is finished there, one is reborn again in the lower realms. You can see how one can totally deceive oneself. Thinking incorrectly can cause one to kill oneself, as if that will take you away from these problems. Thinking that way is totally deceiving oneself.
5) Forgiveness
If someone harms you, angers you, abuses you, or disrespects you, whatever happens, forgive this person. Practice forgiveness immediately, then there is peace in your heart and also in the heart of the other person. This is the cause of world peace, bringing peace to one person, because that person is part of the world. By harming any person in the world, you are causing harm to the world; this is the opposite of world peace. By bringing peace to just one more person you are bringing more and more peace into the world. That is unbelievable. Then, from life to life, one will have no anger towards sentient beings, only peace and happiness. Gradually, you have more peace and happiness, also in one's future lives, then liberation and enlightenment, and then you are able to liberate and enlighten all sentient beings. There is more peace in your heart, in your family, in the world, and for all sentient beings. In the same way, if you cause harm to others, then immediately apologize to the other person. Again, this brings more peace to you and to that person immediately. And this brings world peace.
As much as possible, try to teach these five attitudes, seeing that suffering is the result of bad actions, so as much as possible to develop good actions, a good heart, and then you are able to help others. In this way, as much as possible, increase the good qualities, peace, and happiness in this life, and then you are able to achieve enlightenment, and to liberate numberless sentient beings from the oceans of samsaric suffering and bring them to enlightenment. These are the very basic things, the real education, and the best education for your child. Also, if you can, study the 16 human dharmas. Bring the real Dharma attitude to your child, in order to bring your child to enlightenment and to have limitless skies of qualities. To be able to cause that is the best gift, the real meaning of having a child, from the parents' side. There is also benefit for you, everyone can use these attitudes, especially if there are people in the past that we have had difficulties with.
The most important thing in life to bring benefit to you and others, including one's enemy, is to practice Dharma.
With much love and prayers...
|Bringing Up Children
|Rinpoche visited two students and also spent some time with one of their children. Afterward, Rinpoche sent the following message to the parents about this child.
Your daughter has turned out to be very, very good. You should rejoice. I was very happy to see her; I felt very positive. All the effort you have made, carrying the baby for nine months, giving birth and bearing all the hardships, experiencing difficulties, exhaustion, and the worry of taking care of her all those years, besides educating her – it is all so meaningful because she has become a good human being, positive, and wants to help others.
I mentioned to her about helping young people, so she has started something with the young people at the university where she studies. She has joined up with a few other young people. She has turned out quite good. This makes meaningful all the suffering, hardship, and worries that parents bear to take care of children, also working to earn enough money.
Now, from what I saw, it seems your daughter's life has become positive. She tries not only to not harm, but to be kind to others. So, all the effort, over so many years since she was conceived up to now, all the expenses for the well-being and education of the child, have become meaningful.
|Having a Child with Physical Disabilities
|Rinpoche gave the following advice to a family who has a child who is blind and has some physical disabilities. The family asked if the child would be like this forever.
My very dear Gilles,
Both of you should think of the situation many other children are in—many have great difficulties such as being Siamese twins or deformed in many serious ways. So many families have to experience more difficult situations than yours. My point is you should not think you are the only ones in this situation. Take some time and contemplate that many other parents are in a more difficult situation.
I am going to try and help you as to how to think about and relate to your situation. You should be very grateful to Buddha/God. Think Buddha/God gave me this small child to look after and to help me develop my spiritual practice, to purify heavy negative karma that I have created in the past. This is Buddha's gift, helping me to be free from my oceans of negative karmas, and this is Buddha's gift for me to develop my practice and to develop full enlightenment and peerless happiness.
Think that your child is cherished by countless buddhas and holy beings—bodhisattvas. So many bodhisattvas collect vast amounts of merit in every second and actualize the path for the benefit of every single being, including your child. So many buddhas competed the two types of merit and actualized the two kayas (two Buddha bodies) for the benefit of all beings, including your child. There are so many buddhas and bodhisattvas, including Guru Shakyamuni Buddha, who sacrificed his life for three countless great eons, and gave up his family and wealth when he was King; the whole point was to actualize the two types merit for all sentient beings, which includes your child. Like that, there are so many buddhas, and all of them achieved enlightenment to benefit all sentient beings, which includes your child.
Therefore, every day when you offer service to your child, this is the best offering to all the buddhas; this is the best puja for all the buddhas. This is the most pleasing offering to all the buddhas and bodhisattvas. You both should offer service to your child with this awareness and on the basis of this. In this way, your child makes your life so meaningful, gives you a lot of satisfaction, and makes your life so fulfilling. In your heart you should have the wish to benefit all sentient beings, to bring them to liberation and enlightenment, to be able to enlighten countless sentient beings from samsaric suffering and bring them to full enlightenment.
Of course, this doesn't mean you should not try different treatments for your child, I am not saying that, there are many different methods to try to heal: traditional and alternative, and there are many different kinds of healers, not just in hospitals. So, in the meantime, you can look for different methods, see if there is anything that can help her. This way you can feel that you have tried everything.
I am very happy to hear that you are both thinking of accepting the situation, that is very important, because your child was born to you in this life, in this way, due to past karma, both your karma and the child's karma. Karma is not inherently existent, but is formed by wrong actions created by the mind in past lives; usually they are performed without your knowing the result that you are creating. Maybe the action was performed to try to achieve happiness at that time, but it was performed with a selfish mind, a mind of ignorance, attachment, and anger. Because of this attitude it became a negative karma and the result was suffering, maybe to be born like this.
So, your child being born to you comes from karma on both sides. But this karma is not forever, it doesn't last long, it is a very temporary situation. You shouldn't think it is forever, because when death comes, one's life is like dream, it's gone, all your plans for the future are gone. It is good to remember this now because it helps you realize that this current situation, this life, having this child, could end at any minute.
This is a very broad way of thinking, a positive way of thinking. Your child is also a teaching for you by showing this aspect, being born like this. If we don't practice Dharma and abandon negative karma, then we can all be born like this in the future. Your child is telling all of us that.
With much love and prayers...

ust when we thought we'd seen it all, a start-up company in New York has come out with -- wait for it -- a digital diaper. But before you get too excited, these dipes from the future can't change themselves. (Keep dreaming, mama!) Instead, they analyze your baby's pee to detect illness like a urinary tract infection or dehydration, a condition that can be especially dangerous for young ones.
Here's how it works: a patch of the dipe contains squares of material that change color based on interaction with proteins, bacteria and water content found in pee (one section remains white for comparison's sake). When you're changing your kid, take a photo of the squares with a smartphone app that will analyze the chemical reaction for you -- and even send the info to your pediatrician.

It looks like these aren't on the market yet- but could be soon! Would you give them a try?

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

This kitchen used to be stuck in the 80's, it was tired and falling apart. We reused some of the existing windows as we added on to make room for the huge island. We mixed woods, materials, counters, and added some soft stone and glass tile. The end result is award winning.

"little gem"
It is a lovely apartment, perfect location and very friendly and helpful owner - Valentina. Private use of patio is a great bonus. It needs little improvement like wardrobe or chest of drawers to keep your clothes especially if there are more than two of you. Apartment itself is on the ground floor on Corso Rugero near the Duomo - centre of Cefalu, close to restaurants, bars and beach.
It represents everything what you need while on holiday. I will go back.

They may be calling it a guide because
Posted by: castoff on May-09-13 12:52 PM (EST)
It is a symmetrical oval shape 5 3/4" wide in the middle. I considered it more of a beaver tail than an otter tail, but perhaps it is somewhere in the middle between the two shapes. What ever it should be called it seems well made and functional. The finish had some runs but when the time comes to refinish it they will be removed. I may indeed have used the wrong term in describing it.
Like someone else suggested I would take a belt sander to Glen's paddle and reshape it. No big deal to knock off some weight, thin the edges, and reshape the profile if so desired.

The newly renovated "White House" at 235 28th Street is right in line with one of the two design trends that have swept Noe Valley over the past few years—a completely renovated, whitewashed Victorian that looks nothing like a Victorian inside. You could be in SoMa based on the finishes and lack of period detail.
San Francisco real estate followers may remember this property when it sold for $1.3M in April 2013 and looked like this:
The renovation approach follows in the footsteps of many recent, similar projects. For example, the main level has been opened up, and there are now four bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Three bedrooms are on the ground level. And they come with living/kitchen/dining areas and yards like this:
At the $3M price point in the neighborhood, this is about what you can expect. [Read more…]

Visiting the dentist, along with brushing and flossing regularly are the best ways to maintain proper oral care. When teeth and gums are healthy and have low bacteria levels, then breath is fresher. This is important, as recent research has found that bad breath is the biggest romantic turn off. A survey conducted by British researchers found that bad breath bothers people more than bad skin, excessive facial and body hair or a flabby stomach. The scientists contributed this partially to modern lifestyle habits, such as eating too much sugar, drinking soda, and avoiding regular checkups.Usually, bad breath is caused by the foods people eat. Sometimes though, this can be a sign of poor oral health and more serious dental problems. While onions, garlic and spicy foods can temporarily change change the odor of a person's mouth, if the problem persists it may be time to see the dentist.Researchers suggested brushing twice a day, cleaning the tongue, flossing and using mouthwash to prevent bad breath. Also, visiting the dentist regularly can help get oral health issues noticed before they develop into serious problems. For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353.

Knitting Factory Celebrates Banner Year With Soundcraft MH3
NEW YORK CITY – May 2007 –The Knitting Factory in New York City celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, a milestone it's marking with a complete technical overhaul to its main stage sound reinforcement, lighting and video systems. One of the first and most critical upgrades brought a 32-mono-/4-stereo-channel Soundcraft MH3 mixing console to the FOH position. Knitting Factory's head mixer Jason Tubbs chose the console for its feature set and familiar layout, and has been extremely pleased with its performance.
"The MH3 is a really great sounding console," Tubbs declares. "The definition I'm getting out of this desk is far greater than we've ever had. And the real beauty of it for a venue like ours is that it's straightforward and analog with great sounding preamps, nice responsive EQ, and more aux sends than I'd ever need."
The MH3 fit the bill for The Knitting Factory in more ways than one as the main stage of this multi-level Tribeca music venue hosts diverse lineups nightly and many touring FOH engineers. "I really wanted to keep it simple," says Tubbs of the console selection. "We have at least two or three outside engineers here a week, and that's a number that has actually increased. I wanted a console I knew engineers would be able to simply walk in, sit down and get to work on. I think that's extremely important at the club level. These are the trenches–you're on a tight schedule and you're an hour late for soundcheck and need to load in, set up quick, do your soundcheck and get out of the way for the next band. Things have to happen fast."
As a dual-purpose console, the Soundcraft MH3 has been very capably providing both the FOH and monitor mixes since the desk went in. However, the club has recently carved out some new space just off the stage to accommodate a proper monitor mix position, which will allow the MH3 to serve as a dedicated FOH console. "The MH3 has 12 aux sends, and I've been using seven of them for monitors and effects, but now our monitor mixes will be handled from the stage, which is a big development for us."
Upgrades to the club also include new powered speakers, a monitor console and outboard processing, which further extend mixing capabilities. "All of these upgrades enhance the overall package we're providing here at the Knitting Factory," says Tubbs, "By improving the sound and the lighting, we're increasing the overall utility of the room. We're even adding an HD video system." Raising the club's profile further, XM Satellite Radio recently launched a Live From The Knitting Factory program, airing shows from both the NYC and Los Angeles Knitting Factory locations. "We've worked with Effanel here in New York, and that's gone really well so far," says Tubbs of the XM productions. "They simply bring in an HD rig and set it up backstage, so it goes on completely independently of FOH, but the improved room sound overall is certainly a factor."

Glenbrook South's Parent Association has named Mary Ann Ericksen its 2014 Distinguished Teacher. Below is the release:
Mary Ann Ericksen can trace her passion for science back to her childhood years of exploring nature and learning about animals. In elementary school, she collected rocks and brought tadpoles to show-and-tell. As a college student, she pursued chemistry and environmental studies as majors.
Today, she has parlayed her excitement for science into a successful career teaching the subjects she loves and sharing her enthusiasm with the hundreds of students who enroll in her classes each year.
The Glenbrook South Parents Association has named Ericksen this year's Distinguished Teacher, citing her 19 years at GBS molding minds and celebrating each of the students in her classroom.
"It is such an honor to be chosen when there are so many deserving individuals. The award means a lot to me, both as a member of the GBS science department and as a woman in science," Ericksen said. "I am humbled to be honored in something that feels like what I was meant to do. It doesn't feel like a job interacting with the high school students, they energize you; I never look at my watch."
Students and colleagues describe Ericksen's classroom as characterized by sincere encouragement, positive attitudes, and genuine concern and respect. They note the individualized effort she makes to send home weekly handwritten notes to parents telling them of the great work done by their son or daughter.
Ericksen explained that finding ways to connect with every student is her deepest ambition and proudest accomplishment. In her classroom, a lesson on the skeletal system can become a session where everyone shares a personal story of a broken bone or a trip to the emergency room or a discussion on nutrients can lead to analyzing what goes into a burger and fries from a McDonald's Happy Meal.
"Fostering a positive classroom atmosphere means lectures become more of a discussion and classmates become more like friends. Students aren't going to contribute if they're worried or self-conscious, but once they feel comfortable, they're willing to ask or share anything, which helps them relate to the subject," Ericksen said.
Since joining the GBS science department in 1994, Ericksen has continued to make a lasting impact on Titan spirit by continuously opening her classrooms to involvement in school events and activities. She said her classes fulfill goals for the Letters to Santa campaign and the Canned Food Drive as a method of nurturing students' relationship with each other, science and GBS at large.
"Mrs. Ericksen has succeeded year after year in holding the attention of her students and helping them consistently achieve high scores," wrote a student in a nomination letter. "And, even more important, Mrs. Ericksen has also succeeded in capturing the imaginations of her students, and thus helping them achieve the understanding that biology does not solely exist in the pages of their textbooks, but is as alive, complex, and growing as the organisms that it studies."
Ericksen received her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Northern Illinois University and her Master of Arts in Teacher Leadership from Roosevelt University. Prior to teaching at GBS, she taught science at Saint Viator High School and District 214's Young Adult Education Program. She has been a member of the National Science Teachers Association and the National Biology Teachers Association, where she has presented at national conferences.

We have built a genuine level of enthusiasm and goodwill with people throughout this district. People are really excited about the possibilities this election holds, not just for this district, but because of the message Alabama sent to the rest of the country.Artur Davis
It is curious that money, which is the most valuable thing in life, exceptis excipiendis, should be the most fatal corrupter of music, literature, painting and all the arts. As soon as any art is pursued with a view to money, then farewell, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, all hope of genuine good work.Samuel Butler
The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be common, nor the common heroic.Ralph Waldo Emerson
The tragedy of life is in what dies inside a man while he lives -- the death of genuine feeling, the death of inspired response, the awareness that makes it possible to feel the pain or the glory of other men in yourself.Norman Cousins
Genuine morality is preserved only in the school of adversity; a state of continuous prosperity may easily prove a quick sand to virtue.Friedrich von Schiller
The only kind of dignity which is genuine is that which is not diminished by the indifference of others.Dag Hammarskjold
This dullness of vision regarding the importance of the general welfare to the individual is the measure of the failure of our schools and churches to teach the spiritual significance of genuine democracy.Henry A. Wallace
When we abolish the slavery of half of humanity, together with the whole system of hypocrisy it implies, then the "division" of humanity will reveal its genuine significance and the human couple will find its true formSimone de Beauvoir
I love friends, I want more friends. I love smiles. That is a fact. How to develop smiles? There are a variety of smiles. Some smiles are sarcastic. Some smiles are artificial-diplomatic smiles. These smiles do not produce satisfaction, but rather fear or suspicion. But a genuine smile gives us hope, freshness. If we want a genuine smile, then first we must produce the basis for a smile to come.Dalai Lama
My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together.Woodrow Wilson

David Brooks Gets Occupy Wall Street and Al-Qaeda in Same Sentence
New York Times columnist David Brooks wrote a tedious column today (10/11/11) about how the real radicals are the centrists, not the Wall Street occupiers. (Read Dean Baker to see what Brooks is getting wrong.) But this jumped out at me: A third believe the U.S. is no better than Al-Qaeda, according to a New York magazine survey. How would someone "survey" a leaderless, ever-shifting mass of protesters? I am not sure, and it's not really what New York did. They asked a series of questions–some of them obviously cheeky–to 100 activists at Liberty Plaza. As you can see: Rank […]
Biden's Feel-Good 9/11 Spin Goes Unchallenged
Al-Qaeda, bin Laden, never imagined that the 3,000 people who lost their lives that day would inspire 3 million to put on the uniform and harden the resolve of 300 million Americans. They never imagined the sleeping giant they were about to awaken. — Vice President Joe Biden at September 11 commemoration (9/11/11) Actually, that's precisely what bin Laden imagined: Al-Qaeda's central strategy was to draw its Western foes into economically ruinous wars in Muslim lands (Extra!, 7/11). But I suppose it would be bad form for journalists to raise this fact as the U.S. commemorates a decade of war […]

He has declared himself the leader of the "Tripoli Brigade" that spearheaded the defeat of Gadhafi loyalists in the capital. Belhadj is the former commander of the […]

Meet the New Boss: NBC's Pentagon Beat Sweetener
You may have heard about new Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's trip to Iraq–mainly because while in the country he told some U.S. soldiers that they were there because of 9/11. That led to coverage like this in the Washington Post: On Monday, in his first visit to Iraq as Pentagon chief, Panetta appeared to justify the U.S. invasion of the country as part of the war against Al-Qaeda, a controversial argument made by the George W. Bush administration but rebutted by President Obama and many Democrats. Also rebutted by…reality. Panetta's visit was covered on television too. But on NBC Nightly […]

Two hip boutique hotels have announced that they've merged to create an even larger company that specializes in edgy properties known as "lifestyle hotels."
New York-based Thompson Hotels (12 mostly four-star hotels) and San Francisco-based Joie de Vivre Hospitality (33 mostly three-star hotels) merged on Oct. 1.
TWITTER: Follow Hotel Check-In's BarbDelollis
HOTEL CHECK-IN: Stay on top of hotel news
Together, they're forming JT Hospitality, which will be based in New York but retain San Francisco offices. Stephen Brandman, co-owner of Thompson, will be the CEO of the new company, which for now is being called JT Hospitality.
Brandman says each company's customer facing programs - such as Joie de Vivre's Joy of Life loyalty program - will for now remain in place.
"We'll keep everything in place and evaluate what serves our customers the best," he tells Hotel Check-In.
With the merger, the owners of both firms hope to expand their presence in the three- and four-star boutique hotel segment, both in terms of geography and price/style of hotel, Brandman says.
"This is going to allow us to put more brands in this umbrella," he says, likening the strategy to Starwood, Marriott or InterContinental Hotels Group, which run brands that meet a variety of budgets.
When it comes to growth outside the USA, Thompson has already taken steps with the opening of its Toronto hotel in early 2010. In December, it will open a hotel in London.
The new company might also expand into resorts, five-star hotels or a brand that's more moderately priced, Brandman says.
For more details about the business aspect of the merger, see the Wall Street Journal's story.

Nokia cuts 4,000 jobs in Europe as it shifts manufacturing to Asia
Nokia has just announced one of the biggest job cuts in its restructuring efforts slashing 4,000 positions in Finland, Hungary and Mexico in order to get closer to its Asian suppliers and optimize delivery times and cost.
Handset manufacturing will shift to Asia, closer to component suppliers, which makes financial sense. Factories like the one in Salo, Finland and Komarom, Hungary, traditionally responsible for making high-end smartphones for the European market, will now shift their focus on product customization for Europe and America.
The company will start the job cuts now and is expected to continue "optimizing workforce" by the end of the year.
The company doesn't quote financials as the main reason for the shift, rather focusing on component suppliers and most important the time it takes a device to reach markets. With the move to Asia Nokia phones should start arriving on shelves faster and that aligns with Nokia's chief executive plans to speed up deliveries.
"Shifting device assembly to Asia is targeted at improving our time to market. By working more closely with our suppliers, we believe that we will be able to introduce innovations into the market more quickly and ultimately be more competitive," said Niklas Savander, Nokia executive VP of Markets.
Nokia closed down its factory in Romania last September, and after that it has also been reevaluating its factories in Finland, Hungary and Mexico. Initially, Nokia tried to not cut the meat so close to the bone, but this time it's axing jobs in its homeland of Finland as well.

Nokia's current map of factories.
Nokia plans changes to its manufacturing operations to increase efficiency in smartphone production
Nokia Corporation
Stock exchange release
February 8, 2012 at 10:00 (CET +1)
Espoo, Finland - Nokia has today announced planned changes at its factories in Komarom, Hungary, Reynosa, Mexico and Salo, Finland. The measures follow a review of smartphone manufacturing operations that Nokia announced last September and aim to increase the company's competitiveness in the diverse global mobile device market.
These three factories are planned to focus on smartphone product customization, serving customers mainly in Europe and the Americas. Device assembly is expected to be transferred to Nokia factories in Asia, where the majority of component suppliers are based.
"With the planned changes, our factories at Komarom, Reynosa and Salo will continue to play an important role serving our smartphone customers. They give us a unique ability to both provide customization and be more responsive to customer needs," said Niklas Savander, Nokia executive vice president, Markets.
"Shifting device assembly to Asia is targeted at improving our time to market. By working more closely with our suppliers, we believe that we will be able to introduce innovations into the market more quickly and ultimately be more competitive," said Savander. "We recognize the planned changes are difficult for our employees and we are committed to supporting our personnel and their local communities during the transition."
As a consequence of the plans, the number of steps in manufacturing and the amount of work carried out at the sites in Komarom, Reynosa and Salo are expected to decrease substantially. The changes are anticipated to impact approximately 4,000 employees in total.
Personnel reductions are planned to be phased through the end of 2012. Nokia will offer a comprehensive locally-tailored support program, including financial support and assistance with local re-employment.

If i remember correctly the axed about 10 000 jobs last year for what? For cheaper production, this is what nowadays happens. How can we get past recession when companies keep moving to Asia and cut down jobs.

On behalf of the guitarix team I'm proud to announce
Guitarix Version 0.11
Guitarix is a simple Linux Rock Guitar amplifier and is designed
to achieve nice thrash/metal/rock/blues guitar sounds.
Guitarix uses the Jack Audio Connection Kit as its audio backend
and brings to the jack audio graph a mono amplifier input/output port,
and a FX mono input with two (stereo) output ports.
Guitarix provides a jack midi input port to connect a midi controller
(midi learn) and a (3 channel) jack midi output port, feed by a
(scalable) mix of the tuner and a beat-detector.
Release 0.11.0 comes with following changes :
Users visible changes:
- new version of the impulse response parameter editor. You can
now graphically define a gain line to be applied to the IR data,
e.g. emphasize a part of the early reflections or damping the
reverb tail to make it fit to your guitar sound.
- the multi-line distortion effect now has 4 frequency bands and
is better optimized
- fix regression from version 0.10.0: now the default preset file is
created again if it doesn't exist (e.g. in new installations).
Changes that might be interesting for Developers:
We put the Guitarix widgets into a library, with the goal of
making them usable independently from Guitarix. You can build
it as shared library and there's a c++ (gtkmm) wrapper, a python
wrapper and glade support. Check it out and look for examples
in those directories, or just build a nice looking display with the
glade editor, and of course ask in our Guitarix forum (it's still
As a side note, Guitarix is now in debian (unstable), of course at
the moment still the previous version 0.10.
have fun
guitarix is licensed under the GPL.
Project page with screenshots:
please report bugs and suggestions in our forum here:
For capture, guitarix uses the great 'jack_capture'
(version >= 0.9.30) written by Kjetil S. Matheussen.
If you don't have it installed,
you can look here:
For extra Impulse Responses, guitarix uses the
zita-convolver library, and,
for up/down sampling we use zita-resampler,
both written by Fons Adriaensen.
If you don't have it installed, get it here:
We use the marvellous faust compiler to build the amp and effects and will say
thanks to
: Julius Smith
: Albert Graef
: Yann Orlary
For faust users :
All used Faust dsp files are included in /guitarix/src/faust,
the resulting cc files are in /guitarix/src/faust-generated
The tools we use to convert (post-processing and plot)
the resulting faust cpp files to the needed include format,
stay in the /guitarix/tools directory.

The release of Windows 7 has been widely welcomed as a big step forward from Vista. But the benefits extend beyond obvious improvements, as it greatly enhances accessibility for disabled users.
The new Windows 7 On-Screen Keyboard (OSK) is resizable, with integrated word prediction. The old OSK was too small to be functional for many users. The ability to choose how much of the screen it fills is very user friendly, particularly when you combine it with a touch-screen device.
The magnifier now has a full-screen mode as well as a lens, allowing you to view a part of the screen at any one time. It is easy to use and quite readable at up to 200 per cent. This is now a great way to introduce levels of magnification to users without requiring any additional software. Display settings are now much easier to change and reset.
Voice recognition is a much-improved feature, facilitating easy creation of individual user profiles. For those unable to use a mouse or keyboard, a hands-free mode can also be used.
Windows 7 also comes with drivers to support tablet, touch and multi-touch interfaces – particularly important for those with learning disabilities – or unable to use a keyboard and mouse.
If there is a disappointment in Windows 7, it is that Narrator – the entry screen-reader in Windows – has not had much of an overhaul. But Microsoft can look towards its support of open-source NVDA software as an alternative approach. NVDA is free and available in a number of languages.
Windows 7 is faster while also offering a smaller footprint, making the uptake of some of these new technologies easier as well as cheaper for users.
The new compatibility wizard takes you through a step-by-step process to get software working with some simple changes. It is particularly helpful with older adaptive technology or legacy software.
Windows 7 is a giant leap forward for "non-standard" users real progress at last for the UK's 10 million-strong disabled community.

A Light Through the Ages
Presented by Boston Jewish Spirit at Emmanuel Church, Boston
December 5, 2010
Boston Jewish Spirit, a Reform synagogue serving the central neighborhoods of the city, invites you to share in a new holiday season event for our community. On Sunday, December 5th, at 4:00 PM we will present the cantata, "A Light Through the Ages", which will recount the meaning of Chanukah throughout history, in story and song. The original text by Rabbi Howard A. Berman weaves a chronicle of Chanukah in many times and places over the centuries. Choral selections from each historic period will be performed by a chamber orchestra and choir including some of Boston's most prominent musicians.
Many of the communal celebrations of this holiday are focused on families with young children. However, Chanukah has deep spiritual meaning and reflects messages of major contemporary importance for people of all ages. Boston Jewish Spirit is excited to offer this unique opportunity to experience the inspiration and broader significance of this cherished celebration. People of all faiths are invited to this special event that will be held at our shared home at Emmanuel Church, which is located in Boston's Back Bay at 15 Newbury Street (at the corner of Arlington Street).
We hope that you will join us for this special event which is free to the community. For more information about the event, please visit http://alightthroughtheages.org.

Natsuru (or at least the femme version) is invited to spend the night at Kaede's house, so it figures that the other girls show up too. Plenty of hijinks ensue as the girls all try to play games in order to kiss Natsuru but mostly fail because Natsuru's head is the densest fucking material on Earth. At some point Kaede shows off her disturbingly-large collection of Zomotsu Animal dolls, including her favorite "Burnt Face Lion." No explanation as to who is making these dolls (speculation says that Kaede makes them herself, but then again this anime doesn't give a shit about that. On to the blatant yuri fanservice!).
Kaede continues trying to get busy with the female Natsuru while Natsuru is embarrassed and denies her advances. Then she accidentally turns back into a boy as Kaede sneaks into her bed and tries to fondle him/her, but then Natsuru gets attacked by Kampfer!Akane who is finally tired of his fucking idiocy. Just as Akane is about to declare her love for Natsuru, the girls are attacked by a newly-minted White Kampfer wielding a kusari-gama. Of course, no one dies and she escapes, while Kaede has conveniently fainted in the heat of battle.
