Sparking a New Conversation
Heading downtown this weekend (again) to check out some sights and sounds. My first stop: the Black Business Festival at the Russell Bazaar.
The Festival, which runs Saturday and Sunday, is aimed at entrepreneurs at all stages of development. Last year, its inaugural event drew more than 3,000 people, eager for its mix of seminars, panel discussions and entertainment. So you can learn how to do your taxes and the Hustle all in one weekend.
I'm particularly interested in hearing what keynote speaker Detroit City Council President Charles Pugh has to say. His Saturday evening remarks will highlight the city's economic outlook to this large and likely receptive audience of business owners and operators.
The event also highlights the Russell Bazaar and Russell Industrial Center, a business incubator and shopping extravaganza all rolled into one. I've yet to boogie myself out to see this development of stores, restaurants and art galleries (I can almost taste Niki's Pizza now) so I'm ready to check it out.
"Entrepreneurship will usher in Detroit's renaissance," said Lisa Eberhardt, social media marketing intern for doDetroit, which is helping to promote the festival. "And this event is the perfect way for business owners to jumpstart or continue to grow their business."
Organizers including Jodie Svagr have boosted the festival's offerings this year, adding a strong educational element to the mix. There's a panel on starting and growing your business in Detroit. There are seminars on everything from finding interns to marketing insights to tax accounting. Speakers range from Pugh to the International Detroit Black Expo and TechTown. Networking is also a key component to this year's event, said Svagr, who handles events, promotions and development for the Russell Industrial Center and Bazaar. Thus, there will be lots of time to get people together to talk about their common issues.
The Festival is designed to bring new business to Detroit, to offer a free, family-friendly event to the public and to highlight Black History Month, Svagr said. The Russell Bazaar also is providing 100 table spaces for local business owners to advertise promote and network.
"The goal behind this whole event is to get conversations started," Svagr said.
FYI: The whole thing is free. The Russell Bazaar is located at 1600 Clay in Detroit. It is the Motown version of European marketplace, housed within a converted Albert Kahn factory. Most weekends, it has about 150 vendors, who have rented booths within the 60,000-square-foot facility. So come back often!

by Sanford Levinson
As most readers are aware, the Circuit Court for the District of Columbia recently invalidated the District's basically absolute ban on the private possession of loaded guns. The 2-1 decision relied on the Second Amendment: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." In his Washington Post column on Sunday, March 18, George Will was kind enough to refer to an article that I wrote in 1989, "The Embarrassing Second Amendment," which argued that political liberals had rather shamefully (and shamelessly) refused to take the Amendment seriously, even as they/we demanded that the American public (including the 3 million members of the NRA) take very seriously indeed liberals' reliance on other parts of the Bill of Rights to invalidate popularly supported measures such as the prohibition of flag burning. In his column, Will suggested that the decision poses a special problem for Democratic candidates for the White House, since it places the issue of gun control front and center once more, and therefore liberals will once again have the opportunity to alienate "Reagan Democrats" who left the Party in part because of the perceived disdain by elites for the culture instantiated in those who wish to possess guns, for whatever reason.
I actually disagree with Will on the politics. The "virtue" of the D.C. law that was struck down was its basically absolute character: It came very close to fulfilling the NRA image of what they believe liberals really want, which is a prohibition on the possession of private handguns. Since there are all sorts of reasons to believe that such an absolute prohibition would indeed be unconstitutional, a position, incidentally, now endorsed by such a leading liberal academic as Harvard's Laurence Tribe, I think this is a perfect occasion for Democratic candidates to indicate their basic support for the D.C. decision. This is all the more true because, if read carefully, the decision is scarcely "absolutist" in its protection of firearms. It readily concedes that some control is legitimate (just as is the case, incidentally, with speech); it rejects only the full-scale prohibition legislated by the District of Columbia.
One might well wish a world without any firearms at all. But in a world where criminals have readily access to firearms, liberals should take seriously the claims of persons afraid of violent crime that they themselves might need firearms as a means of self-defense. Yes, it is true that children (and others) are killed as the result of the availability of firearms, but it is a grim truth that more children die by drowning in backyard swimming pools or, for that matter, of athletic injuries. "We" seem more understanding of the value of the swimming pools or of high school athletics than of the potential value, to many, of firearms. This is, of course, part of the great cultural divide that Democratic candidates should be trying to overcome. Bill Clinton helped to lose the House of Representatives in 1994 by his insistence on a basically symbolic piece of "gun-control" legislation involving "assault weapons." Was it worth it?
A second thought, this time dealing with Iraq: One of the standard pieces of conventional wisdom, shared by all sides (at least in the U.S.) is that all militia groups must disarm and accept the monopolistic control over the means of violence by the centralized Iraqi government. It is as if we are all devotees of Max Weber, who defined the state in part by its monopolistic possession of the legitimate use of force. But imagine that you are advising any given group within Iraq (other than those few devotees of the central government, such as it is), Sunni, Shi'ite, or Kurdish (not to mention Turkamen and other groups within Iraq). Would any rational adviser counsel giving up one's arms and placing blind faith in the willingness and ability of the central government to protect any given group's interests? "Trust but verify," Ronald Reagan famously said with regard to international disarmament. Why should any group particularly trust the yet unformed national government of Iraq, and, just as much to the point, what are the mechanisms of verification that would lead a rational person to place more faith in the central government than, say, the Kurdish peshmurga?
What is particularly ironic is that the Bush Administration, which has adopted in substantial measure the NRA understanding of the Second Amendment, repeats the "militias must disarm" mantra with regard to Iraq. But, then, one has never expected intellectual cogency (or even basic intellectual honesty) from this particular Administration. Will the Democrats, though, do any better?

Roam The World For Free ARTICLE CELL PHONES
Thursday, 17 October 2013
Have you ever had an amazing vacation in a foreign country only to come home to a US$500 cell phone bill? You only checked a few emails, used (website hidden) Maps, and uploaded pictures to (website hidden) to make your friends jealous, so how could it cost that much?
I've been a victim to these outrageous roaming fees which has lead me to either leave my phone in airplane mode or buy a local prepaid SIM card in the country I am visiting, neither of which is ideal.
Beginning on Oct. 20th, the U.S. cellular company T-Mobile is changing the game in international travel by getting rid of international roaming fees. That's right, U.S. T-Mobile users will now be able to roam the world with their current cell phone and number at no extra cost.
The service will be available in countries including Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, France, Italy, China, and 200 other countries. It allows unlimited data usage and texting, with phone calls at a rate of 20 cents per minute. The service automatically connects to the local service in the new country and requires nothing for the user to do.
T-Mobile's new plan is perfect for the frequent and infrequent traveler that wants to always be connected while they are away. Picture being able to hop from country to country in Europe, use all of your data, apps, maps, and email, and not be penalized for it. The savings and convenience are extraordinary.
T-Mobile is currently the only cell phone provider in the United States offering an international cell phone service like this. It's great they are the first to recognize that we live in a global world where people want to be connected no matter where they are. It will also be interesting to see whether the larger carriers like Verizon and AT&T eventually jump on board.
For more information on T-Mobile's new plan visit: (website hidden).
Non smokers only please. This is a smoke-free, cigarette smell free, butt free environment, house and all property.
Check in is from 2 PM-4 PM, earlier and later may be possible with prior arrangement.
Only registered and paid guests allowed in the rooms from the hours of 9 PM to 8 AM.
No children under the age of 8 years and all older children must have adult supervision.
Breakfast will be served for all guests here for 3 days or less. Those guests with weekly and monthly rates will be served breakfast for 3 days, and will have the use of the kitchen for all other meals. You may still have breakfast served to you from the 4th day at a cost of $5. per breakfast.
Rooms will be cleaned once a week, linens and sheets provided. More towels will be provided upon request.
Guests may use the washer and dryer for their personal clothes once a week, more times at a cost of $8. for wash and dry.

The bus stop for San Jose is about a 1/2 mile walk through a pleasant and safe neighborhood.
Liza is an incredible host and really became a good friend by the time my short stay was over.
The service was excellent, room was very clean, the view astonishing, the atmosphere fantastic and the location unbeatable.
Super comfortable house, with a lot of attention to details, that really gives a feeling of home away from home.
The topical breakfast was very refreshing and always ready for us in the morning.
Liza made us feel very welcome and hospitable from the beginning. I had a great time at her place and to be honest, I wish I could have stayed longer! The neighborhood and listing were as described. The house is beautiful and if you are in the is area, picking Liza's place is a must.
Liza is an excellent host, communication with her was very quick and she was willing to make arrangements and accomodations for me and my husband. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need to have an enjoyable time in Escazu. This is a perfect location, close to Cima Hospital, Chain Restaurants (Mc Donald's, Starbucks, P.F Chang, KFC) Multi Plaza, Price Mart, etc. She is also very helpful and knowledgeable, she gave us great suggestions for places to visit, shops, restaurants and local cafes. You won't regret booking with Liza! Come and enjoy the Pura Vida! ;-)
My husband and I LOVED Liza's place! Not only was it in a beautiful and safe neighborhood, the house was lovely on both the outside and the inside. The pictures are dead on to what the house looks like and what each room looks like. Liza so graciously worked with our schedule and greeted us at 1 a.m. (which is WAY past her original check in time). She greeted us with a smile and was very delighted to see us and show us around her humble abode. The rules of the house were easy to follow and she also had helpful tips and suggestions posted around the house that allowed us to respect her home and also other Costa Rican homes. The topical breakfast was very refreshing and always ready for us in the morning. We were given a detailed tour of the house and we learned more about Liza's life testimony. We were able to come and go as we pleased and Liza referred a great taxi service that was affordable and easy to use. We absolutely loved our stay at Liza's home and can't wait to book our next trip to stay with her!
Beautiful home, and fantastic host! Liza was extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome in her home. Spacious bed rooms, comfortable beds, and lovely decorations - plus only a short taxi ride away from San Jose centre.
Liza is incredibly warm and welcoming; a superb hostess. Always willing to answer questions and provide recommendations about local attractions and tours. She even went completely out of her way to accompany me downtown, explaining the bus system and provided a hand drawn map.
We felt completely safe in the neighborhood, and after using a taxi the first day, we rode the bus everywhere. We even had an adventure of taking the wrong bus, ending up in an outlying town and being guided to the correct bus by a local! It is a decent walk to the bus stop, Wal-Mart, and local shops. After 10 days, I actually lost a couple of extra pounds :)
We stayed in both the Arenal and the Mountain View rooms. Clean, nicely appointed and spacious. Liza's breakfast was both gorgeous and delicious, something to look forward to each morning.
The highlight for me was meeting the other guests, getting to know them, the opportunity to share private tours. My teen daughter said her highlight was relaxing in the courtyard with the cats (seconded by me!)
The best of both worlds; if you're a private person or couple, no pressure to socialize, but the opportunity is there.
I do recommend ear plugs for light sleepers, city noises and early morning birds are both noticeable.
I stayed at Liza's place for 5 days. I had a very short visit to Costa Rica. It was a great place to stay for relaxation. She was very resourceful, and treated me like her friend. This was my first expereience with Airbnb. My rating for this place is 5 out of 5.

About the Host, Liza
I have had many adventures (with what seems to be endless travel along with life experiences) and these adventures continue in Costa Rica. I had a guest house in San Francisco and I would love to welcome you to my home here in Escazu, Costa Rica for a short or longer stay. This home was picked and decorated with YOU in mind!
Since arriving in Costa Rica in 2002, I have been a teacher specializing in English for Specific Purposes and English for Business Purposes which is very interesting because I get to learn a lot about all kinds of fields. Some of my students, along the way, have come from banking, nutrition, medicine, finance, small business, diplomacy, etc. I had an interesting time getting two Master's of Education simultaneously, one from the University of Costa Rica and one from Framingham State College.
In 2010, I taught at EARTH University in Guacimo Costa Rica where they teach sustainable farming, so this city girl learned a lot about farming and I have gotten very interested in issues around farming and other matters about sustainability.
I have also been a massage therapist for nearly 23 years, something I am very passionate about.
Since June 2011, this very interesting house has had people who have come from India, Pakistan, France, England, Poland, Serbia, Russia, Switzerland, England. Germany, Reunion, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, Panama, Nicaragua, New Zealand, Canada, the U.S., and others. We just never know who might show up! Sometimes we have eight countries represented at the table, and yet, often there are unexpected and interesting connections. It is a house filled with blessings!
I hope you will join us and continue the adventure!

When feeding my infant, I was told to put a little of the dessert last on the spoon and the vegetables first. Once she tasted the "dessert" she would continue to eat with no problems!
We always hear that we should use smaller plates and bowls.Well, I eat my yogurt and anything else that is soft and yummy with my grandaughter's old infant spoon. 334Go a head and laugh. I don't care. 246It is so small that it forces me to slow down, to pay attention to what I am eating and I end up enjoying it far more than if I just gobble it up mindlessly. 4
I never liked yogurt before but now I eat it for lunch. So rich and creamy and 0% fat
Eating mindfully helps me know what my body likes and when I am full.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Gwinnett County commissioners come and go, but not at that quick a pace. In the last 10 years, 10 different names have been inscribed on the nameplates in the commissioners' meeting room. Potentially, if each candidate would have been one term and out, that number could have been 25.
In 2000, Chairman Wayne Hill and district commissioners Tommy Hughes, Patti Muise, Judy Waters and Kevin Kenerly were in their sixth year together. In total, those individuals accumulated 54 years of service as commissioners.
Of that group, Kenerly wins the longevity award. When his current term ends next year, he'll have 16 years under his belt. The only other with that kind of tenure was Marion Buice, district commissioner from 1969 to 1985.
So let's agree that while the faces of politics are always changing, they've changed a bit slower on the Gwinnett county commission.
Now even that's changing. In September, Kenerly announced he won't run again. On Thursday, fellow commissioner Bert Nasuti, who was elected in 2002 and again in 2006, said his name won't be on the ballot in 2010.
So the two commissioners whose terms are next to expire won't seek a return to office. Without incumbents in those races, expect several candidates to surface, although I'm not sure why anyone would want to jump into the commission cauldron when it's boiling over. And at this juncture -- dare we say it? -- the timing could be right for someone from the Democratic Party to be elected to the Gwinnett commission.
The other three commissioners were elected or re-elected last year and will serve until 2012.
So two new commissioners will join second-termers Chairman Charles Bannister and Commissioner Mike Beaudreau and first-termer Shirley Lasseter.
Comparatively speaking, the group taking office in 2011 will be fledgling. Bannister and Beaudreau will have completed six years of service, Lasseter two and the newcomers zero. That comes to 14 years among the five.
Little experience doesn't necessarily translate into little leadership. Many campaigns are, in fact, driven by the desire for change and/or new blood.
This sea change, however, comes at an especially critical time for Gwinnett County.
Gwinnett's consistent growth in development and population has created new revenue to fuel expanding services. But the time has come when the expense line crosses the revenue line. And it seems we don't know what to do about it.
Additionally, in looking for ways to cut expenses, the county lost many of its most veteran employees.
In September, 202 county workers representing 4,400 years of experience retired.
Many in the top rung of leadership are gone: No. 2 county executive Deputy County Administrator Mike Comer, Fire Chief Steve Rolader and Assistant County Administrator Lisa Johnsa. County Administrator Jock Connell, Gwinnett's chief executive, is assisting his replacement, Glenn Stephens, through the end of the year. Johnsa is back with the county, but only temporarily as a consultant.
All of this should lead to interesting times in the halls of the Gwinnett Justice and Administrative Center. The county will need strong leadership from our current commissioners and a sharp eye from Gwinnett's voters as they pick their two new commissioners next year.

US Air Force researchers testing Google Glass for potential uses on battlefield
The research team within the US Air Force is reportedly testing Google Glass for its potential uses on the battlefield.
The Battlefield Air Targeting Man-Aided Knowledge research team, or BATMAN, specializes in beta-testing emerging technologies.
While Google Glass could be used to access information quickly during missions and facilitate communication between pilots and air craft controllers, a BATMAN software developer said that it's not a silver bullet for many of the Air Force's needs, the Verge reported.
The initiative is an effort on the part of the Air Force to transition from using laptops to more portable computers.
Meanwhile, it is reported that the US Navy is building its own version of Glass.

Man accused of stealing board, zinc gets bail extended
Bjorn Burke, Staff Reporter
A man accused of stealing 10 sheets of plyboard and eight sheets of zinc had his bail extended when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court Tuesday.
Charged with simple larceny is Anthony White.
The court heard that the complainant, after certain discrepancies were discovered, suspected White was the perpetrator and reported the matter to the police. The goods were alleged to have been later recovered from White's premises.
White had his bail extended by the presiding judge, Resident Magistrate Simone Wolfe-Reece, and is to return to court on July 9 for sentencing.

This satellite image of the Sohae Launch Facility on November 26...

This activity is consistent with launch preparations as witnessed prior to the failed April 13, 2012 launch of the Unha 3 (i.e., Universe or Galaxy 3) space launch vehicle (SLV) carrying the Kwangmyongsong 3 (i.e., Bright Lodestar 3). Given the observed level of activity noted of a new tent, trucks, people and portable fuel/oxidizer tanks, should North Korea desire- it could possibly conduct its fifth satellite launch event during the next three weeks (e.g., by mid-Decemember 2012) (Photo DigitalGlobe via Getty Images)

For the early settlers of Southern Connecticut, the Pequot War of 1637 had great consequences. In what was the first serious armed conflict between indigenous people and settlers in New England, the powerful Pequot tribe that occupied and controlled the Connecticut Valley was "blotted out from under heaven", in the words of one Puritan. By the time the Davenport and Whitfield congregations settled New Haven and Guilford, there was no threat of Indian resistance. Success of the planters, like all of the settlers of The Great Migration, depended on the cooperation or acquiesence of the Indians. The events leading up to the war are recounted here.
In 1632, the Dutch expanded their fur trade from the Hudson Valley into Connecticut Valley by establishing a fort, the House of Hope*, near the site of present-day Hartford on the Connecticut River. The Dutch East India Company's agent, Jacob Van Cutler, purchased the land from the Pequots who, along with their tributaries, the Western Niantics, controlled the territory. (See map directly below)
Shortly after the Dutch land purchase, in what historian Francis Jennings called a "deed game", a group of businessmen from Plymouth Colony produced a deed of their own. They claimed prior rights to a location on the river just above the House of Hope, purchased from a former sachem of the Pequots who had been expelled by the tribe. Now the English were in a position to intercept furs from the interior before they reached the Dutch. Thus, the Puritans who mixed piety with business, could claim their foothold in "Quinnihticutt".
The Plymouth and Massachusetts Bay Colonies had no royal charter for that land, but they were in discreet competition for it and the revenues it could generate. Also, the steady waves of newcomers needed good farmland. In 1636, three Puritan congregations from the Massachusetts Bay Colony settled Windsor, Wethersfield, and Hartford.
Before the Dutch could retaliate by taking control of the land at the mouth of the Connecticut River, the Saybrook Company, a Puritan business venture awarded with the Warwick Patent commenced the building of a fort. John Winthrop, Jr., son of the Bay Colony's governor, was appointed governor. For the purpose of the Guilford Settlement, it is significant that George Fenwick was one of the stockholders of the Saybrook Company. His future magnanimity toward the Whitfield congregation -- he gave Henry Whitfield the rights to the land for Guilford -- may very well have been mixed with the interests of the Saybrook Company.
The Pequots viewed the Connecticut River and adjacent lands as their dominions. The Western Niantics, who were comprised of other tribes including the Menukatunks, were Pequot tributaries. Despite their agreement with the Dutch which included a promise not to interfere with trade on the river, in 1634 either Western Niantics or Pequots murdered a trading party of Narragansetts on their way to House of Hope. The Dutch were outraged. They cut off trade with the Pequots and held the Pequot sachem, Tatobem, for ransom. The Narragansetts prepared for war.
In the years to follow, hostilities between the settlers, Narragansetts, Pequots and smaller tribes were qick to escalate into the first Indian War -- the first war between natives and Europeans on the continent. Further provocations triggered more retaliations until the terrible climax in 1637 when nearly 300 Pequot men, women and children were burned out of their village, hunted down, and massacred. Much has been written about this shameful period of history, attributing dark motives in turn to each of the combatants, but the scarcity of records prevents a definitive assessment of these remote events. Analysis of the Pequot War is beyond the scope of this site. However, a chronology of the events leading up to the destruction of this Pequot Tribe deserves retelling:
In 1634 the the Pequots initiated peace negotiations with the Massachusetts Bay Colony. They wanted the English to re-establish trade and arbitrate a peace settlement with the Narragansetts. The Bay Colony responded with demands for exhorbinant tribute (1000 fathoms of wampum) and the surrender of the killers, something the Pequots were not prepared to do.
In terms of the history of Guilford and our ancestors, the Pequot War was significant because the defeat of the Pequots eliminated the possibility of strong armed resistance to the settlements of New Haven and Guilford, which were settled in 1638 and 1639, respectively. The local tribes, decimated by disease as well as by warfare, were either in no position to resist encroachments on their land or they were willing to acquiesce and accept protection from their new masters, the congregation of Henry Whitfield. In any event, the Connecticut Valley was not to see significant "Indian troubles" for forty years until the outbreak of King Phillip's War.

Abbreviations are handy little devices for communicating quickly and for conserving precious space online. But some abbreviations are so often misused that they're not worth the time and space savings. That's the case with the abbreviations i.e. and e.g., as illustrated by Yahoo! Style:
Even if the writer had included the period after the E and a comma after the entire abbreviation, it would still be wrong. The abbreviation stands for the Latin id est, which means that is. The writer meant e.g., the abbreviation used before an example.
These abbreviations are not only used incorrectly by most writers, but they're also misunderstood by 90% of all readers. So why risk using the wrong abbreviation and confounding your readers? There are simple words (e.g., that is or for example) that you can use with confidence.

Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi expects local Black Stars to win 2014 CHAN
Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi is expecting the local Black Stars to win the 2014 African Nations Championship in South Africa.
Nyantakyi believes head coach Maxwell Konadu has assembled the best players from the Ghana Premier League to mount a challenge for the title.
Ghana were silver-medalists in the maiden edition held in Ivory Coast in 2009 but could not advance from the Group stage two years later in Sudan.
Nyantakyi is hoping this year's select band of players can go far.
"I look forward to a good performance this time round we are a candidate to winning the championship and I'm very hopeful that we will win," Nyantakyi said.
"We have a good team with best players from our domestic league who have been in camp for some time now.
"Maxwell Konadu has done a good job by transforming the team through the WAFU Competition up to this time and we are praying for the team to excel at this competition.
"I have spoken to Maxwell the coach and he has assured me that things are shaping up so we pray things go well for the team."
Ghana's home-based national team must first advance from a tough Group comprising Congo, Libya and Ethiopia.

Update 8/17/13
I decided to take a huge step and venture into doing my own photography. Bought a nice starter Digital SLR and went for it. As you will see in my portfolio I have been blessed to have some amazing models agree to work with me in a TF status in order to give them more photos and me more practice. So now if you are looking for a chance to get some photos done to add to your portfolio give me a shout and maybe we can set something up.
I have been doing Digital Graphics and Photo Manipulations over the past 7 yrs and have recently added actually taking photos as well. I want to be able to do my work my way without having to beg and kiss ass for permission from others.

Update 4/15/2013
I am so ready for the weather to get nice out. Most of the time I prefer shooting outdoors and with natural light. As you can see from my portfolio I don't do the typical Studio Photography or High Tech Equip. I would rather let life be life and an image be photographed just as the human eye sees it. From there I let what talent I have been blessed with take over in the graphics and effects I give the shot.
My work is done for the Model and Myself. As long as we are happy that is all that matters. So far I have gotten a lot more kind positive words than negative so I must be doing something right.
God Bless and Thanks for Stopping By...

We did a great job closing to their shooters. I know our offense is capable of putting up good numbers and today's defensive performance showed me a ton." Turning Point Stony Brook led 2-1 after one quarter. Rogers face-dodged his man and scored just outside the crease to make it 3-1. His goal was the first of three in a 1:49 span. MacKay's unassisted goal with 11:17 left in the second cut the lead to 5-2. Rooney's second of the day with 9:24 left made it 6-2.

Retired minister Zuefeldt remembered as mentor
Friends and family are mourning the death of Roy Zuefeldt, 83, former senior pastor of the First Central Presbyterian Church in Abilene.
Zuefeldt died July 14 in Austin after a long illness.
After serving as senior pastor from 1979 to 1992, he served as pastor emeritus for a number of years before moving to the Austin area to be near his family.
"He served as senior pastor for approximately 13 years and wove his influence into the fabric of our lives," Cliff Stewart, senior pastor at FCPC, stated in an e-mail while attending a seminary in Ohio.
Stewart said Zuefeldt would be remembered as one of the true pillars in the local church.
Bill Minter, a member of the church, said Zuefeldt was special to everyone who knew him.
"He did the wedding for me and my wife in October 1988," he said. "He and his wife, Katy, were a great team."
Janice Six, associate pastor at the FCPC, said Zuefeldt was her pastor while she was growing up in Abilene.
"He was a mentor to many of us," she said. "He was sharp and was known for his quick wit."
Six said Zuefeldt had a gift for getting people to work together.
"He felt very strongly in having churches in Abilene work together for a common cause," she said.
Zuefeldt's daughter, Ellen Arnold of Round Rock, said she was one of three adopted children.
"He was a chemical engineer graduate of the University of Texas," she said. "He worked for Texaco before deciding to be a minister."
Arnold said her dad had a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and was a missionary for a short time in Thailand.
He was a World War II veteran and was in the Navy as a mine sweeper in the Pacific, Arnold said.
Dr. Austin King said that Zuefeldt was a great influence on all his family.
"He had such a brilliant mind and was able to communicate with people and touch them in his work as a minister," King said.
King said remembered a funny story that happened at church when his children were young.
"He walked by us in his black robe," he laughed. "My little girl turned to me and asked if he was God."
Three children and three grandchildren survive Zuefeldt. His wife, Katy, preceded him in death several months ago.
Funeral services for Zuefeldt are scheduled at the First Central Presbyterian Church in Abilene on at 2 p.m. July 22 with Stewart and Six officiating.

Foodies are scum. Seriously. They're the worst humans on television. They're worse than war criminals. They're worse than war-criminals in Global Hypercolor t-shirts at a Stereophonics gig. There is simply nothing worse than a foodie. And while you can just about let some of them off, because they're vaguely charming, some of them deserved to be kicked and slapped 'til there is nothing left but their shadow. And the worst of the bunch is the utterly joyless Monica Galetti from Masterchef. (more…)

Torchwood: Go on, admit it… it's rubbishThursday, July 9th, 2009
What sort of goon watches Torchwood? Is it the sort of fluffy fool who likes to gurgle "it's was transformed when Russell T. Davies got involved!" because it's the kind of thing a child wouldn't say, which makes Whovians feel better about watching what is effectively a slightly frightening kid show? I imagine fans of the Doctor Who franchise also like reading Harry Potter books and mewing about how they like a bit of 'escapism' now and again. Pah. You can 'escape' with a paper bag and some super glue as well…

Red Dwarf… why?Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
There's been a lot of despondency about the recent return of Red Dwarf. Fellow writers feel all busted and beat by the lamo return of The Classic Show With A Cult Following. I feel for 'em. It must be like a reunion tour by a band you once loved, turning up with added saxophone solos and their shirts tucked into their jeans. You walk away wounded. Thankfully for me, in Red Dwarf terms, I never bought the hype in the first place as it's always been one of my most hated shows in existence. Firstly, it is Sci-Fi based, which is enough to make my puke… and secondly, it gave rise to people shouting "smeg" like that was joke enough in itself.

The many wrongs of David Van Day (Or: How DVD dumped his girlfriend live on the telly)Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
Only in our modern televisual world could David Van Day exist. TV has always had wrong 'uns, but I'm not sure that they've been as messed up and downright tragic as Van Day. Once upon a time, Van Day was nothing more than that bloke who sang pop songs. That's all he was. A thing to occupy the trace of a melody. Now, he's forging a career out of car-wreckages, like those '50s snappers who made their money from dead teenagers in Cadillacs, as glorified by Andy Warhol. Now, David Van Day has outdone himself by dumping his girlfriend, live and on-air, on a show barely a soul watches.

Gary Lineker in the Walkers Crisps adverts… why?Thursday, March 12th, 2009
Let's leave the debate whether chilli chocolate, onion bhaji and creole squirrel are good ideas for crisp flavours to one side for a second. I saw an advert last night for this new batch of crazy Walkers Crisps and, once I queried the whole radical crisp flavour thing, I found myself asking: "Why is Gary Lineker still advertising crisps?"
Commercial Break: Duffy's rubbish Diet Coke ad'Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
I'm not one for bitchin' about musicians doing Coke adverts. Okay, I am… but there's been some great bands in the past to pimp Coca-Cola (there's a nifty little article on that very subject here). However, doing a Coke ad' and doing a Diet Coke commercial are very different prospects. You see, Diet Coke adverts are aimed squarely at women, because, presumably, Coke think women need to lose a bit of that chub. The best way to do that is to stare at some rugged bloke doing manual work like he's a piece of sausage meat. With Duffy, sisters seem to want to do it for themselves…

Just Shoot Me… why?Monday, November 10th, 2008
Apart from Coming of Age, I can't think of a show that irritates me so much that I actually want to take an axe to my own body. Actually, that's a lie. There's load of programmes that make me think I'd be better off dead. Just Shoot Me is just the latest I've seen. You see, before I start work, I sometimes watch a bit of telly, just to get me in the mood, much like a boxer getting a rub-down before a big fight or the way a super wealthy business man psychs himself up before a huge meeting with furious masturbation and yelling insults at deaf people. Just Shoot Me gets me in the mood for a fight.
Don't Set The Video: Coming of Age, BBC Three, Tonight, 7 October, 10.30pmTuesday, October 7th, 2008
Okay. Last week I reviewed a show so bad that I'm still angry about it. I saw a trailer for the new episode last night and I got a rash with stress. Huge boils pop out on my neck when I think of the no-dimensional script. So with that, I'm seriously advising that you don't watch Coming of Age (BBC Three, Tonight, 7 October, 10.30pm). Now, some have suggested that I've got this wrong, and some have even assumed my age to conclude that I'm 'just too old to get it, maaan'. So with that, I'm going to avoid passing further judgement and leave it up to TV Scoop's readers. Click over for the highlights of their views.
MTV scheduling… Why?Friday, October 3rd, 2008
As we all know, MTV is no longer a music channel. You can get your fix of pop, rock and pretty much anything else further down the music EPG, and now MTV is now the home of reality shows and, erm, lots more reality shows. You'd think that MTV in its relatively new status as an entertainment channel would have the basics covered. Simple things like scheduling a series at the same time each week so that viewers can tune in time after time. You'd think that wouldn't you? Of course you would. What we think and what actually happens seems to be miles apart.
Valentine Warner… why?Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008
Initially I was going to review What To Eat Now (BBC Two, Monday, 22 September, 8.30pm) but Mr Ed. beat me to it. "No worries", I thought, "my review was going to be a bile fuelled hate-piece on that odious turd at the helm of the show". As my editor enjoyed this godforsaken show, it thankfully gives me free reign to vent all kinds of spleen in the direction of The Worst Food Show Of The Year By Some Distance.

I've got no idea why 1.2million people watched The Ryder CupMonday, September 22nd, 2008
Loads of people have been tuning in for The Ryder Cup lately, with 1.2million watching it on Sky Sports. I was originally going to write 'feverishly tuning in', but I can't imagine for one second that anything surrounding golf is remotely fevered. To me, it seems like a game you should play as opposed to watch. As a spectator sport, golf has to be one of the worst (with marathon coverage pipping it to the post). For me, I'm with that old saying that "Golf is a long walk – ruined". So why do so many people insist on watching it?
Prison Break: kill the nerd!Monday, September 22nd, 2008
I love Prison Break. It really is a load of old rubbishy music video-ish over-styled fast-paced nonsense. But there's no getting around the fact that it has some great set-pieces and some exciting ideas. The show is a victim of its own success – or, as a friend of mine put it recently 'a victim of its own title'. To some extent you've just got to admire the way they've kept the thing up past one series with a name like that. Now we're onto the fourth series and the cat and mouse continues, in a slightly less enthralling way than series one's wonderful Shawshank Redemption style break-out, but it's still fun. I don't even mind that Phoebe's policeman boyfriend from Friends is in it playing the same character, leading us to wonder whether they're going for a subtle Friends/Prison Break crossover. I still like it. With one exception…
Why… is there so little coverage of the Edinburgh Festivals on TV?Tuesday, August 26th, 2008
There are literally hundreds of music festivals being held in the UK nowadays, and some of them – traditionally Glastonbury, T In The Park, Reading and Leeds and V – are given hours of live coverage on television, along with extensive highlights packages. Even some of the growing 'boutique' festivals, such as Latitude and The Big Chill are getting coverage too. And yet, apparently, our esteemed schedulers can only find three hours to broadcast programmes about the world's largest arts festival in Edinburgh. Surely I can't be the only one who thinks this is a travesty?

A second run for Bonekickers? Why?Thursday, August 7th, 2008
As news breaks of Jonas Armstrong's departure from Robin Hood, the breathless hype of the BBC's press release regarding the third series of this Dodo ("an explosive, nail-biting series finale" and "Robin's exit will be unmissable") reminds me that we were sold a similar pup with their supposedly groundbreaking archaeological mystery programme Bonekickers. The parallels between the two programmes are frightening, and as the archaeologists continue to dig themselves ever deeper into the mire (they lost another 300,000 viewers last week) rumours persist that the BBC will give it another chance. So, not surprisingly, the question uppermost in my mind is: why?
The Dave channel's name, slogan, adverts – why?Thursday, August 7th, 2008
I hate almost everything about the Dave channel. I have nothing against the Top Gear repeats, or the BBC panel shows that they broadcast; in fact I like them. I think Dave puts out more shows I enjoy than any other channel, except for Dave+1 which has at least as many good programmes.
Other than the programmes themselves though, almost everything about Dave is just wrong.
Alex Zane, Lenny Henry, Richard & Judy – why would we want to watch YouTube clips on TV?Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
TV on the internet is a great thing. 4OD and BBC iPlayer are brilliant, and it's very handy when people upload American shows onto a video sharing site before it's shown in the UK (not that I would touch such legally dubious resources, *cough*). My problem is not with TV on the internet.
No, my problem is with the internet on television; shows such as Lennyhenry.tv, Alex Zane's Rude Tube, and the "Funny 5″ section on Richard & Judy. I think Lily Allen and Friends may also have included web clips in it, but I never bothered watching Lily Allen and Friends, I'm not that desperate.
The shows are essentially the same — a comedian presents a variety of popular clips from YouTube and provides a commentary on them. It's sort of like You've Been Framed, except — get this — even worse.
Letters, phone-calls, emails of complaint… why?Thursday, July 31st, 2008
I hate people who complain to TV stations about what is featured. There's no point in it. Ever. By all means, whine about the quality (or lack of) of stuff, but seriously, stop the 'moral' outrage. Where has this come from? Well, it's all about 'pussy'…
Why do Sky have that music on their TV guide?Monday, July 14th, 2008
We have a lot to thank Sky for: The Simpsons; four dedicated sports channels; Sky+; late night shows about ghosts and the like. However, there is other stuff that we are not so thankful for; the return of Gladiators, for example, and, most horrible of all, that background music on the TV guide.
Blind Date… why?Thursday, July 10th, 2008
Apparently, Blind Date is coming back to our screens. Cilla Black won't be hosting it though. I've heard that the bookies favourite is Davina McCall. Didn't she do something similar some years ago? (Yes, she did). The show is set to return in 2009 and, even worse, it's being revamped by Simon Cowell. Now, we all know that Simon Cowell is not a soulful man, but rather, someone who likes to spin icing over tacky progammes. He makes a lot of money from it too. Whatever.

Wiesel, Torsten Nils (1924-), a Swedish-born American neurobiologist, made important discoveries about how the brain processes visual information. For this groundbreaking work, he shared the 1981 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine with American physician David Hunter Hubel and American biologist Roger Wolcott Sperry .
In 1958, Wiesel and Hubel were colleagues at the Johns Hopkins laboratory. The two began investigating the visual cortex, the part of the brain responsible for processing visual input. They found that the visual cortex includes a system of specialized nerve cells that processes the many small pieces of visual information perceived by the retina into one large image. Wiesel and Hubel also discovered that the nerve cells are organized into columnlike structures. In later studies, the pair showed the importance of early visual development. As a result, ophthalmologists now correct childhood eye problems, such as crossed eyes, as early as possible.
Wiesel entered medical school at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm in 1941. While there, he studied neurophysiology and psychiatry. He received his medical degree in 1954, and in 1955 he became a postdoctoral fellow at the Wilmer Institute of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. It was during this time that Wiesel met Hubel, and the two scientists began a collaboration that lasted over 20 years.
In 1959, Wiesel and Hubel both left Hopkins for Harvard University, where Wiesel was appointed assistant professor of physiology, becoming a full professor in 1964. He became chairman of the department of neurobiology in 1973. Ten years later, Wiesel joined the faculty at Rockefeller University as a professor of neurobiology. In 1992, he was named president of the university.

Maybe my most anticipated set. He is going to have to bring it pretty hard given the standard he set in 2010.
despite that i know for a fact that maybe 20 people saw his set in 2009, it still bothers me that people pretend like his only festival performance to date was the 2010 gobi set. 09 set was fucking magical. 2010 was par for the course except that it sounded a lot better in the gobi than the dome's shitty system in 09.
and he's bringing his new live show thingy with the pretty lights and the psychedelic imagery and what not.
really excited for this. his new show looks magical.
the music is what its all about, you love it just like i love it.
fucking yes. him, modeselektor and amon tobin are saving electronic music at coachella this year
Hoping for a Thundercat guest appearance during his set. And maybe (hoping beyong hope) Thom? I really just hope he gets a good time slot.
Thundercat is a definite possibility; Thom not so much. What would he do? Sing live vocals for a few minutes?
Was he in the campgrounds in 2010 or am I tripping out.
Flying Lotus Acid Test 2012
Went in w/ such high expectations but Flying Lotus was a tedious muddle at TI. Going to give him another chance at Coachella. Hoping for better. It may be this sort of thing doesn't quite do it for me.
FlyLo is the act I am most looking forward to, by afar.
flying lotus in the campsite in 2010..amazing
I have somehow never managed to catch a FlyLo set.

Jennifer Lopez (Oct 6th, 2008)
Jennifer Lopez's updo looks sexy with soft volume on top, wispy bits in front and neatly rolled up length in back.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Mist damp hair with texturizing spray. Blow-dry two-inch sections with a large round brush, lifting up at the root slightly to enhance volume.
Step 2: Leave pieces out in front and sweep the rest of your length back. Starting at the ends, roll your hair under and continue rolling until it snugs up against the back of your head. Allow the top area to buckle slightly and then pin the roll securely into place.
Step 3: Dab pomade on fingertips and slightly twist wispy pieces around your face. Spritz with hairspray to lock in your style.

WASHINGTON — In an era of intensely partisan politics, few domestic issues have suffered during the past year from oversimplification, overheated rhetoric and an overwhelming lack of honest debate as much as the issue of immigration reform. For politicians and pundits on both the right and the left, it would seem that the issue has become less about immigrants — or, more specifically, migrant workers from Mexico — and more of a touchstone for scoring easy points with voters through plant ...

Employee: Richard T. King
Employer: APA Transport
Insurer: Utica Mutual Insurance Co.
Board No.: 030256-99
(Judges McCarthy, Costigan and Horan)
Thomas J. Donoghue, Esq., for the employee
Martin J. Long, Esq., for the insurer
MCCARTHY, J. We have the insurer's appeal from a decision in which the administrative judge awarded the employee § 34A permanent and total incapacity benefits for a back injury. The first of three issues raised by the insurer merits discussion. The insurer contends that this case requires recommittal since the judge did not perform any analysis of its §1(7A) defense. We conclude that the opinion of the § 11A physician satisfied the applicable causation standard under § 1(7A) as a matter of law. Therefore, we affirm the decision.
On May 26, 1999, Richard King injured his back while working as a truck driver for the employer. (Dec. 2.) The claim was initially disputed and following a § 10A conference, the insurer was ordered to pay § 35 partial incapacity benefits, which it paid through the 260-week statutory maximum period. Thereafter, the employee filed a claim for § 34A benefits, which was denied at conference and then by hearing decision. The employee appealed the hearing decision to the reviewing board but subsequently withdrew, electing to file a second claim for § 34A benefits commencing from a later date. The judge denied this claim at a § 10A conference and the insurer appealed to an evidentiary hearing. [1]
Pertinent to this appeal are the following administrative judge's findings on the employee's extent of disability and causal relationship:
Dr. Steven Silver, the impartial physician, opines that Mr. King
is not yet at an end result and that surgery is being considered. He
further opines Mr. King is capable of only sedentary work. He can
lift no more than 10 pounds and cannot sit or stand for more than
two hours at a time and for no more than four hours per day. (Statutory
Exhibit No. 1, page 3). Dr. Silver notes that since the last hearing, an
MRI has shown the existence of a herniated disc, which he relates to
the work injury. (Deposition, page 15, line 21 to page, line 9). He
identifies the main problem disabling Mr. King now as this herniated
disc. (Deposition page 18, lines 3 to 7).
(Dec. 3; emphasis added.)
The impartial physician confirmed the existence of the employee's chronic lumbar strain and degenerative disc disease along with his work-related disabling herniated disc. He opined that the employee's degenerative disc disease has a minor impact on his current disability, (Dep.17), and that the chronic lumbar strain was not the main disabling condition. (Dep. 22.) He concluded that the "main problem that's disabling him right now is a herniated disc," and the "majority of his problems stem from his injury." (Dep. 22-23; emphasis added.)
The judge credited the employee's testimony as to his pain and impairment and adopted the medical opinions of the § 11A physician. The judge then concluded that the employee was permanently and totally incapacitated and awarded § 34A weekly benefits. (Dec. 3-4.) He did not, however, address § 1(7A). (Dec. 2-4.)
The insurer argues, among other things, that the judge erred by failing to apply its raised defense of § 1(7A). We agree that the judge's failure to address § 1(7A) would ordinarily require recommital. See G. L. c. 152, § 11B(decisions "shall set forth the issues in controversy, the decision on each and a brief statement of the grounds for each such decision"); Vieira v. D'Agostino Assoc., 19 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 50 (2005). However, since the exclusive prima facie medical testimony of the impartial physician satisfies the applicable causation standard under § 1(7A), "a major but not necessarily predominant cause," recommittal is unnecessary. See Roney's Case, 316 Mass. 732, 739-740 (1944)(there may be instances in which the evidence is of such character that findings of fact are not required); see also Stewart v. Beth Israel Deaconess Med. Ctr., 22 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. ____ (April 8, 2008); Manzanero v. Beth Israel Deaconess Med. Ctr., 21 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 187 (2007); Reynolds v. The Rhim Cos., 18 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 178, 180-181 (2004); Pratt v. Transcend Carriers, 18 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 206 (2004).
The impartial physician causally related the employee's herniated disc to the industrial accident. Since he concluded that the disc injury was the "majority of his problems," and the degenerative disc condition was "minor," the § 1(7A) standard of showing the work injury to be a "major cause" of disability was satisfied as a matter of law. Reynolds, supra. See Nee v. Boston Medical Ctr., 16 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 265, 268 (2002)(medical testimony that work injury was "a good cause" can satisfy § 1(7A) standard of "a major cause").
We summarily affirm the decision with regard to the other issues argued by the insurer on appeal. Pursuant to § 13A(6), the insurer is ordered to pay employee's counsel a fee of $1,458.01.
So ordered.
William A. McCarthy
Administrative Law Judge
Patricia A. Costigan
Administrative Law Judge
Mark D. Horan

[1] We take judicial notice of documents in the board file. See Rizzo v. M.B.T.A., 16 Mass. Workers' Comp. Rep. 160, 161 N.3 (2002).

A Storm brews as Tigers face old boys
Posted: January 25, 2013|
Mildenhall will begin their defence of the Knockout Cup against National League newcomers Coventry, a tie chairman Kevin Jolly believes will generate plenty of interest.
The Fen Tigers' first-round pairing with the Storm will bring an early-season clash with former favourite Joe Jacobs, who switched clubs after four years at West Row, and a return to Mildenhall for ex-management trio Mick Horton, Laurence Rogers and Blayne Scroggins.
"We're happy with the draw," said Jolly. "It's a new track with a good team that will attract a lot of interest. It suits us well."
West Row will again stage the league's Best Pairs event after successfully taking the title on home shale last year. Jolly admitted the club were offered the option of hosting the Fours, but declined because of congestion issues it can cause in the pits.
Stoke, Isle of Wight and newcomers Kent will compete against Mildenhall for the Trophy, a competition the Tigers won to complete last season's record-breaking campaign, but this time it will be an early-season affair.
Jolly said: "We want to make it more meaningful, and clubs compete hard to win things at the start of the year. We want it to be like the old Spring Gold Cup, get the riders fit and keen, bring up the attendances and give the fans some good racing."
Jolly, the ex-England international, is as keen as ever for Mildenhall to discover the sport's new talents, despite the shelving of the Anglian Junior League, which he said suffered because of lack of riders.
"We had the success story and brought riders through – some are still with us, while others have moved on," he said. "Now we want our long term to bring through even younger riders.
"There are a couple of 14 year-olds who we will be working with. We want to run competitive second halves, give people proper racing and get all our riders challenging each other to keep everyone in the team on their toes."
The club plans to host a fans' forum in February and are also seeking a commercial manager.
