Wounded, Battered & In Hiding.
I swallowed my breath and went deep, I was diving, diving
I surfaced when all of my being was enlightened.
I sit here among a crowd of loved ones and friends having the time of my life. It's been a while since I've seen some of them, but here we are talking it up like we just got together yesterday, telling old war stories. I laugh, I smile, and every once in a while I chime in with some witty one-liner that gets everyone laughing.
The trouble is that it's all fake. I feel lonely here. It isn't them, it's me.
I used to belong here amongst the laughter and revelry. I used to fit right in as the story teller, the comic relief, the clown—but now I feel like I am watching the play instead of starring in it. I don't want to be here, but something tells me that I need to laugh, I need the companionship, I need the time away. Some thing tells me this…
I do love these people, and they love me. I can feel it from them as surely as I can feel the tequila burning my throat. It isn't the lack of love I feel as I'm very fortunate to count so many people as "loved ones." Many of these same people have walked with me during the various transformations I have undergone in my life. And here they are, still my friends and still people I love very much. They've seen the best and the worst, and they've loved me enough to not only stick with me, but love me as few could. That, my friends, is truth.
Another truth is that I feel very lonely in the crowd. I don't feel this way when I'm alone. In fact, being alone is becoming much easier for me than being here is. I'm not playing a role as I sit in silence. I am simply sitting. I do not play a role as I suddenly get up and do some asanas in my living room. Here, I'm hiding from something. I'm drinking this tequila to hide from something. I'm laughing to hide behind something. I'm telling jokes and poking fun to hide from something. It's a numbing practice that exposes the deeper part of me to the part of me that's watching. I am not where I want to be. I'm in hiding.
Better yet, if I'm not in hiding, I believe this feeling is trying to tell me that I should be.
Who am I? Well, I'm Not a Mango
Uh oh. Not that question!! I ask it to drive someone crazy actually. I've been told that asking that question is counter-intuitive to personal growth, that we should be "eating the mangoes" instead of asking how they got there. The trouble with that analogy is that I don't care how the mangoes got there, I care about how I got to the mangoes. I care why they taste good to me, why this place is so beautiful to me.
That understanding only comes with with an understanding of who I am. I'd have to eat some lemons in order to appreciate the sweetness of the mango. There's a reason I'd want to get "all messy" in the juices. There's something that has brought me here, and I want to know it. Not so that I can forget about this beautiful present moment, but so that I can value it.
What makes the sunrise so beautiful? Usually it's the darkness of night. What makes the warmth of a fire so awesome? Usually the bitter cold of a winter's day. I can best value the wonderful present moments I have if I understand what makes them so wonderful. If I fail to realize that, then that moment's true potential is lost for eternity.
So, I want to understand the path that brought me to the mango grove. I want to know the cuts I got as I cut a rose for my beloved. I want to appreciate the bruises she got climbing her mountain because it will help me best value the moment when she arrives all battered and torn. It doesn't detract from the moment, it enhances it. To ignore the journey is to not fully realize the destination. At least this has been my experience.
If I fully want to appreciate the mango I need to experience the lemon. In this way the lemon has equal value to the mango, and they are both perfect.
Going to the Mattresses
Okay, so here I am. I'm sitting here laughing and talking and drinking and getting all sloppy. A cute blonde is hitting on me, but I have no interest in doing anything but feeling all lonely and sloppy. I still feel a tie to my past, to her, and that means that I'm not going home with anyone but myself tonight.
I check my cell phone to see if she has sent a text, or an email, and then I look at her picture. I obviously am either stuck in the mango grove or in some past hedgerow.
What if the blonde is the mango and "she" is a thorn bush keeping me from the fruit?
I laugh at the idea and wish I could share it with her. She wouldn't appreciate the irony of it all, but who else would get the reference? Damn, irony sucks and so does this present moment lost so eternally in what should be.
I check out the blonde to see if I have any moment of doubt. She's very attractive and this would have been a "no brainer" months ago. Still, she doesn't have her eyes or her mouth. The blonde puts her hand on my leg and whispers in my ear, "I don't live far from here and my house is empty."
"I do, and I have to get up early tomorrow after a very early day today. Once this buzz wears off, I am outta here. Sorry."
We swap phone numbers and next times, but I lose the number about three seconds later. It just doesn't feel right. I'm so ready to leave this place. I have two competing voices in my head, one calling me a fool for passing up a night with a hot blonde, and the other calling me a fool for even thinking about it. My smaller head is screaming at the larger one, and the larger one is screaming back, "Don't blame me, it's that damn thing in his chest that is fighting with us both!"
That damn thing in my chest is telling me it's time to head for the mattresses (if you need to know what that means, watch the Godfather). I need to clean out some inventory, clear out the cobwebs and figure this shit out. I feel like I need to become a hermit for a while, meditate and find whatever it is I am searching for. I need to find some love for me. I need to forgive myself for what I have done.
That damn thing in my chest wants to share itself with others. It wants a special woman to share itself with. It wants a lover to appreciate it. It wants to learn and apply those lessons to the betterment of everyone who touches it. It wants both the larger and smaller heads to do its bidding.
It's time to go into hiding. It's time to "go deep" and not to surface until "all of my being (is) enlightened."
I know where I want to be and I know how I need to get there. What I'm not sure of is whether or not I have the balls to do it. If I don't, well then as some wise Master once told me, I will repeat these patterns over and over again. I don't want to be here again suggesting déjà vu. I want to be free.

Sort of reminds me of the detachment and ennui I experienced two or three years ago…..(before an awakening event that destroyed any chance of ennui again!). These poems might resonate for you Tom…
After the Party
I woke one day
to the first sober
light, the glint
of truth
in a dull
This light,
bore no warmth,
no hint
of benevolence.
Instead, inglorious,
the dawn cast a cold
brilliance, a harsh
reminder of what
was lost.
All the abandon
in the world,
all the revelry
cannot forever
keep me –with the
lure of pleasure—
from joy.
This masquerade
never really began.
I dreamed the mask
and in the steel
of this new day,
I awake faceless.
I always thought

I was a minister, preaching
that God is A She.
Nothing new,
just more of the same
Divine Feminine seducing

I told the congregation,

stairwell: "When you know
again your Mother,

WASHINGTON (AFNS) — "Memorial Day is a time for Americans to honor the memory of the service members who died in the nation's wars and an opportunity to pray for the day when such wars no longer occur,†President Barack Obama said in his Memorial Day proclamation issued today.
"Our nation endures and thrives because of the devotion of our men and women in uniform, who, from generation to generation, carry a burden heavier than any we may ever know,†Obama said in his proclamation. "On Memorial Day, we honor those who have borne conflict's greatest cost, mourn where the wounds of war are fresh, and pray for a just, lasting peace.â€
American history is filled with the stories "of sons and daughters who gave their lives in service to the country they loved,†Obama said. "They were patriots who overthrew an empire and sparked revolution. They were courageous men and women who strained to hold a young Union together. They were ordinary citizens who rolled back the creeping tide of tyranny, who stood post through a long twilight struggle, who saw terror and extremism threaten our world's security and said, 'I'll go.'â€
America's fallen service members "are forever bound by a legacy of valor older than the Republic itself,†the president said in his proclamation. "Now they lay at rest in quiet corners of our country and the world, but they live on in the families who loved them and in the soul of a nation that is safer for their service.â€
Memorial Day is a time when Americans "join together in prayer for the fallen,†Obama said.
"We remember all who have borne the battle, whose devotion to duty has sustained our country and kept safe our heritage as a free people in a free society,†he said. "Though our hearts ache in their absence, we find comfort in knowing that their legacy lives on in all of us — in the security that lets us live in peace, the prosperity that allows us to pursue our dreams, and the love that still beats in those who knew them.â€
"May God bless the souls of the venerable warriors we have lost, and may He watch over the men and women who serve us now,†Obama added. "Today, tomorrow, and in perpetuity, let us give thanks to them by remaining true to the values and virtues for which they fight.â€

Simon Cowell Confirms One Direction's Louis' Baby News, Addresses Zayn's Label Rumors, And Reveals Future Of The Band
The music mogul dropped some serious One Direction bombs during an interview with 'The Sun' on Sunday.
The music mogul dropped some serious One Direction bombs during an interview with 'The Sun' on Sunday.
Simon Cowell has broken his silence following the controversial video that seemingly shows One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik smoking a joint in a car.
OMG, we can't even. Acid-tongued former 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell shared three photos of his newborn son, Eric, who made his grand entrance into the world in NYC on Friday, Feb. 14.
It's a boy for Simon Cowell! Well, not yet, but it will be a son soon for the 'X Factor' judge, a source tells the New York Daily News.
She may be the reigning Queen of Pop, but this year, Madonna holds dominion over all the other celebrities of the world, coming in above directing powerhouse Steven Spielberg and the creator of a million reality singing competitions, Simon Cowell.
If all the reports we've been seeing over the past day or so are accurate, Simon Cowell will become a first-time father early next year. We know the woman he knocked up, Lauren Silverman, is a (former) friend's estranged wife, and we know her divorce will probably be a trainwreck -- but who exactly is Lauren herself?
Here's what we've been able to dig up so far.
Despite gallivanting with all manner of beautiful ladies, Simon Cowell's sexuality seems to constantly be in question. Now the 53-year-old producer and reality-show mogul says it's cool if you think he's gay.
(Which, in case you don't know, is exactly how straight people who are totally comfortable with their own sexuality handle such things.)
Simon Cowell has never minced words, but he seems to be keeping relatively mum (as in, outright BSing) when it comes to LeAnn Rimes' 'X Factor' performance.
Word on the street is that Carmen Electra (yeah, she's still around) and snipey 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell just might be a thing. Paparazzi caught them out on a dinner date Saturday night, and now we can't stop wondering how Cowell rated her try-out.
Simon Cowell has been making the promo rounds, flanked by his 'X Factor' girls, on an assortment of TV programs. Last night (Sept. 17), when accompanied by newbie judge Demi Lovato on the 'Conan' show, he got more than he bargained for and was subjected to more abuse from his sidekick. She called him an "a--hole" on national late night TV. Go get 'em, Deemz!
Ding ding. 'The Voice' vs. 'X Factor' battle has officially begun, a week before the season premieres and the ratings books. 'The Voice' is strategically attempting to win Round 1 by adding an extra episode of Season 3 during the premiere week on Wednesday, Sept. 12, which is the same day that Season 2 of 'X Factor' premieres. That move has got Simon Cowell fighting mad.
Simon Cowell can add "hero" to his long, long list of achievements: The former 'American Idol' and current 'X Factor' judge came to the rescue of nine people who were trapped on a sinking boat in France!

Judicial Review Not Such a New Innovation in American Government
No, the Supreme Court did not invent judicial review just last week when it heard arguments on Obamacare. On Monday, President Obama said: "Ultimately, I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress."
Judicial review is not mentioned in the Constitution, but it was anticipated by the Founders. In 1788, Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist 78:
The complete independence of the courts of justice is peculiarly essential in a limited Constitution. By a limited Constitution, I understand one which contains certain specified exceptions to the legislative authority; such, for instance, as that it shall pass no bills of attainder, no ex post facto laws, and the like. Limitations of this kind can be preserved in practice no other way than through the medium of courts of justice, whose duty it must be to declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution void.
In 1796, the Supreme Court first exercised judicial review of a federal law when it upheld a carriage tax against the claim that it violated the Constitution's provisions on direct taxation (Hylton v. United States).
In 1803, the Supreme Court ruled that Section 13 of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional because it redefined the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, which is set out in Article III of the Constitution. The case, Marbury v. Madison, was the first time the Court ruled a federal law unconstitutional.
To date, the Supreme Court has ruled 165 acts of Congress unconstitutional. (For a list, see page 2119 of the U.S. Senate Publication, "The Constitution of the

Faculty Senate
April 14, 2010, 3:30 PM
Pellissippi Campus
I. Call to Order: Tom Gaddis
The meeting was called to order by Tom Gaddis. Members in attendance: Mark Fuentes (President), Wanda Scarbro (Past President), Donn King (Parliamentarian), Joe Zitka (BCT), Rick Barber (BCT), Ramzi Ghezawi (EMT), Ken Swayne (EMT), Trent Eades (English), Lawana Day (English), Sydney Gingrow (English), David Key (LA), Marilyn Harper (LA), Anita Maddox (LA), Ann Preston (Math), Linda Streebeck (Math), Meg Moss (Math), Ron Bridges (NBS), Michael Lusk (NBS), Brad Rose (NBS), Jean Jackson (Library Services), Pam Smith(Transitional Studies),Tom Gaddis (Business Officer/Division Street), Ashley Boone (Blount County), Jane Stribling (Magnolia Avenue), William Gwin (AF).

President Fuentes welcomed incoming representatives who will be joining Senate next year.
Amy Tankersley then addressed Senate on behalf of the Transitional Studies Department. A discussion followed about propriety of proceedings and the importance of professional and respectful discourse among faculty.
President's Note: There was a mention of some information from a student's academic record. The person responsible agreed that disclosure of student information is inappropriate (in any forum), and has issued a letter of apology to the student.
§ Book
Faculty have been invited to visit GN225 to select books from the many boxes left over from this year's sale, and then deliver a donation to either Mark Fuentes or Marilyn Harper. The books must be removed from GN225 by the end of the semester and there is no storage space available. As the book sale is so labor intensive, and as there are always storage issues, President Fuentes is soliciting ideas for an alternate fundraising activity that would still allow Faculty Senate to make a sizable donation to the student scholarship fund each year.
§ Faculty Load Hours:
Wanda Scarbro summarized maximum enrollment figures from reports that she had gathered for classes delivered via the web and via face-to-face instruction. Discussion followed regarding a maximum cap for web classes to recommend to Dr. Wise. A motion will be presented during new business.
Another issue related to load hours was introduced by Ron Bridges. It concerns load hours for teaching labs, which varies among departments offering lab courses. The issue is whether action should be considered that would move toward an equitable policy for everyone. This issue will be discussed with Dr. Kelly and deans of other departments offering courses that include labs before it is pursued further.
III. Approval of Minutes : Tom Gaddis
Minutes of the March meeting were approved with no objection.
IV. Officer Reports:

Faculty Bill of Rights Ad Hoc: Anita Maddox – No report
Budget Ad Hoc: Wanda Scarbro – No report
VI. Unfinished Business:
There was no unfinished business.
VII. New Business:
Faculty Load Hours:
Wanda Scarbro made a motion that regarding a maximum enrollment recommendation to be sent to Dr. Wise, Faculty Senate recommends that the maximum enrollment for web courses should be the same as the maximum enrollment for face-to-face courses.
During discussion, Ron Bridges moved to amend the wording of the motion to read …maximum enrollment for web courses should be less than or equal to the maximum enrollment for face-to-face courses. The amended wording was approved.
After further discussion, the motion was approved, as follows:
Regarding a maximum enrollment recommendation to be sent to Dr. Wise, Faculty Senate recommends that the maximum enrollment for web courses should be less than or equal to the maximum enrollment for face-to-face courses.
VIII. Announcements:
The next meeting is scheduled on July 14, 2010 at 3:30 p.m. at the Pellissippi Campus in the Faculty/Staff Dining Room.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- Students in Gwinnett Tech's new Health Information Technology programs will now have access to the cutting-edge technology and software applications shaping the rapidly-growing field.
The local college students can now use the Interoperability and Integration Innovation Lab, or the I3L, developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Gwinnett Tech and Georgia Tech are partners in an HIT education initiative and last fall were awarded a $1.65 million grant to boost job creation in the field.
The funding helped Georgia Tech to create the lab to test and evaluate cutting-edge health information technology software innovations originating from industry, researchers, faculty and students, investors and other sources.
At Gwinnett Tech, the funding is being used to develop a one-year HIT certificate program and provide tuition stipends to participating students. Scheduled to begin in January 2013, the new certificate program is employer-driven and designed to help veterans and the unemployed enter the field.
The lab will be used remotely on the Gwinnett Tech campus to enhance the learning capabilities of its HIT students by providing hands-on training resources and new software applications.
Health Information Technology is the umbrella term used to describe the comprehensive management of health information across computerized systems and its secure exchange between users.
"As part of our partnership with Georgia Tech, we look forward to connecting with the I3L to enhance our health information technology certificate and degree students' education," said Jim Sass, dean of health information systems.
Edward Oliver, a military veteran already enrolled in GTC's associate degree HIT program, said he's "had a great experience as a HIT student. The program is extremely informative and as a veteran the coursework provides an almost seamless transition from my military experience in office management and administrative duties."
In addition to the HIT certificate program, Gwinnett Tech also offers a two-year associate degree program in Health Information Technology. The program was launched last fall.
For more information, visit www.gwinnetttech.edu.

Eagles spikers climb back to .500
After falling short in their last outing, the Abilene High Lady Eagles bounced back Tuesday to defeat Haltom City Haltom in four games and remain in the thick of the District 3-5A volleyball playoff picture.
Abilene High recorded a 25-15, 25-21, 20-25, 25-19 decision at Eagle Gym to get back above .500 in district play.
The Lady Eagles (14-17 overall, 3-2 district) have dealt with a pervasive flu bug and the departure of outside hitter Adrian Garrett, who moved last week before Abilene High's four-game loss Friday at Burleson.
In addition to working outside hitter Annie Newton, just called up from the junior varsity, into the rotation, AHS coach Didi Pierce was glad to get through a match with relative ease.
"That is definitely a plus," Pierce said. "We have had our controversies this year. The girls did a good job and came out focused and took care of business."
Libby Sinclair led AHS with 21 kills, knocking down the final point in all three games the Lady Eagles won, while Gabi Martinez added 13. Setters Ellen Irvin and Jordan James recorded 21 and 17 assists, respectively. Kasi Conners had nine blocks and Danielle Roadcap posted a team-high 21 digs.
Haltom (14-19, 2-3) was led by Aerielle Edwards with 18 kills and 16 digs, while Selina Aggas had 40 assists.
"We had our little spurts where we let down," Pierce said, "but like in Game 3 we got down a good way and fought back to where it was close and we at least had a chance of winning that game. Overall, I'm pleased with the match."
Abilene High jumped on top quickly in the first game, using a 9-2 run to go up 13-4 and force Haltom to use both its time outs. The Lady Buffaloes led Game 2 until AHS went ahead for the first time at 13-12 and were tied at 17 when the Lady Eagles closed out with an 8-4 run.
Haltom avoided the sweep by holding off Abilene High's rally in the third game. The Lady Buffs led 19-10 before AHS closed within three points. The Lady Eagles put the match away with a 7-1 run in the fourth game to take a 21-14 lead.
Abilene High closes out the first half of the district schedule at 5:30 p.m. Friday at home against Fort Worth Paschal.

Greenwich, University of
A folk remedy may be an effective treatment for the sexually transmitted disease herpes according to Dr Solomon Habtemariam from the University of Greenwich's School of Science and Professor Francisco Parra at the Universidad de Oviedo in Spain.
Tansy, Tanacetum Vulgare, is a flowering plant found across mainland Europe and Asia. From the Middle Ages onwards the plant, whose folk names include Golden Buttons and Mugwort, has been used as a remedy for various conditions, from fevers to rheumatism. However, its supposed medical benefits have always been questioned.
Joint work between research groups led by Dr Habtemariam from the School of Science at the University of Greenwich at Medway and Professor Francisco Parra at the Universidad de Oviedo in Spain, published in Phytotherapy Research, has revealed the clear potential of tansy as a treatment for herpes.
Dr Solomon Habtemariam says: "We have identified several compounds in the plant with strong antioxidant potential. Antioxidants are important for healing wounds and can be used to treat the skin eruptions and blister-like lesions or cold sores that are the symptoms of herpes. The drugs currently available to treat the disease are becoming less effective as the virus is developing resistance to them. Diseases such as genital herpes are also increasing due to immunosuppressive illnesses such as AIDS.
"Our studies have proved the scientific basis for many traditional medicinal plants. We are now able to identify even more structurally complex natural products and those that are present in plants in minute concentrations with our state-of-the-art analytical facilities. In collaboration with our international partners, we are searching for novel antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective agents from natural sources".

Dymally memorial services set for Wednesday in Culver City
Merdies Hayes | 10/10/2012, 5 p.m.
Memorial services for former California Lt. Gov. Mervyn M. Dymally will be held Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 12:30 p.m. at Holy Cross Mortuary, 5835 West Slauson Ave., in Culver City. The service will be preceded by a viewing from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at that location.
The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to the Mervyn M. Dymally Memorial Fund, which has been established to honor his life, career, and legacy at https://www.wepay.com/donations/dymallymemorialfund.
Dymally, who in 1962 became the first foreign-born Black to be elected to the California State Assembly, died Sunday, but his health had declined noticeably in recent months. He was 86.
According to a recent OurWeekly article by Gregg Reese (Sept. 27-Oct. 3.), a chance encounter at a Fresno conference in 1961 during which Dymally gave Assemblyman Augustus F. Hawkins a ride back to Los Angeles, the decision was made for Dymally to run for Hawkins' seat, which then included Compton, East Compton, Paramount, Florence-Graham and portions of Long Beach, South Los Angeles and Willowbrook. He won the seat in 1962.
Hawkins, who had been a pioneer and mentor to Blacks in California politics, went on the serve in Congress. Dymally would quickly take up Hawkins' mantle, also becoming a pioneer and mentor to a number of Black politicians, including Maxine Waters, Julian Dixon, Diane Watson, Herb Wesson, Yvonne Burke, Mark Ridley-Thomas, the late Assemblywoman Teresa Hughes and the late congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald.
Dymally was born in Cedros, Trinidad, in the British West Indies, on May 12, 1926, to Hamid A. and Andreid S. (Richardson) Dymally. He attended Trinidad's Cedros Government School, as well as St. Benedict and Naparima Secondary School.
In Trinidad, he once worked as a reporter and labor organizer, but he left home in 1946 to come to the United States. In 1954, he earned his bachelor of arts degree in education from Cal State Los Angeles.
Dymally taught secondary school in Los Angeles, but also taught government and would eventually teach at the Claremont Colleges, UC Davis and UC Irvine. While teaching secondary school, Dymally volunteered as a campaign worker and joined the California Young Democrats where he served as state treasurer.
In 1960, he worked for the Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles which nominated John F. Kennedy for president; he was also a field coordinator for the Kennedy presidential campaign.
In 1966, Dymally became the first African American to serve in the California State Senate and in 1974, the first to become the state's lieutenant governor. In the California Senate, Dymally once chaired the Democratic caucus, three full committees on social welfare, military and veterans' affairs, and a joint committee on women's legal equality. He authored legislation that eventually resulted in the state's ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment. Dymally was also chairman of the California State Black Caucus.
In 1980, Dymally was elected to the 31st Congressional District and became one of that body's most prominent and effective advocates of civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, labor and wage laws and affirmative action programs.

Community and Creativity Combine at Crossroads Branch
Friday May 30, 2014
For mobank customers, a visit to the Crossroads branch may mean becoming a part of a creative process or walking out the proud owner of a new, original work of art. With the addition of the Artist in Residence program, people have the opportunity to interact with local artists as they create their unique pieces of work.
Located in an area of Kansas City known nationwide for being a "community of makers" and home to the city's monthly "First Fridays," artists work from improvised studios in the lobby of the Crossroads branch. They bring their typically private creative processes to an often surprised and always curious audience.
"We're all used to seeing finished art – on our walls, and in galleries and stores. It's exciting and fascinating to see these pieces of art come to life. And it's an honor to be invited to share the creative process," said Julie Nelson Meers, senior vice president, who offices from the Crossroads branch. "Some people will watch from afar but many, myself included, just can't help but get a little closer, ask questions and interact. The process of creating is often as interesting as the end product."
Earlier this year, a turntable-inspired stenograph greeted patrons as they entered the branch. Local artist Bobby Howsare, a staple in the Kansas City arts scene, crafted the idea. Pens were fastened to the turntable's arm and as it rotated, intricate line drawings were created.
Artist Amy Fredman brought her unique form of painting to mobank's Crossroads branch in April. Using a simple, noncomputerized home sewing machine, Amy uses individual stitches to create depth, texture and the appearance of color mixing for portraits and portrayals.
In February and again this May, the branch featured Charlie Mylie. Known affectionately as "Pop-Up Charlie" for his spontaneous art appearances, Charlie created custom cards and postcards inspired by an image, thought or idea suggested by his visitor. Each person left with original art inspired by his or her own ideas.
"While we consider ourselves fortunate to have many artists as customers, it's not about featuring only our customers' work," said Nelson Meers. "The Artist in Residence program is about our neighborhood and the community that makes it so interesting. People who call the Crossroads home pursue the idea that 'work' is so much more than a means to an end, or a paycheck. They work with a grand purpose and that's so admirable. We really enjoy their company."
mobank plans to continue celebrating the Crossroads' inventive environment by bringing artists and customers together every few months at the branch on 125 SW Boulevard. The branch also offers its interior walls and exterior billboard/ artboards to artists to display work throughout the year.Prev->> <<-Next

|The Game Story:
|BEVERLY, MA – Amherst College bounced back from a two-goal deficit after the first period of play to hand Endicott College an 11-10 loss in non-conference men's lacrosse action Tuesday night at Endicott Stadium.
The Gulls took a 4-2 lead through the first period before the Lord Jeffs outscored the hosts 5-3 in the second. A 3-2 third period proved to be the difference as Amherst walked away with a slim one-goal victory.
Devin Acton '14 (Sudbury, MA) paced Amherst with two goals and an assist in the win, including the game winner with less than two minutes to play. Aaron Mathias '14 (Ridgefield, CT), Evan Redwood '12 (Lutherville, MD) and Danny Gold '13 (Medfield, MA) each scored twice for the Lord Jeffs, who improved to 1-1 with the win.
Chris Cotter led Endicott (2-2) with five points on four goals and an assist, while senior midfield Kyle Jordan added a pair of goals.
Endicott jumped out to a 3-0 lead on goals from Cotter, Jordan, and Jon Thanas. With four and a half minutes to go in the first period, Alex Fox '12 (Garden City, NJ) found Acton for his first of the game to trim the deficit to two. Cotter added another with less than four to play in the quarter before Amherst's Ramsey Bates '13 (McLean, VA) scored with just under three minutes left to make it a 4-2 game.
Amherst carried the momentum into the second stanza as it scored five unanswered to open the period. Endicott managed to get three back before halftime, including a pair of man-up goals by Brian Estes and Harry Holden to level the game at 7-7 entering the break.
Gold put the visitors on the board less than two minutes after halftime, but Cotter responded with a pair of goals to put the Gulls back on top, 9-8, with seven-plus minutes to go in the third period. Mathias and Redwood connected to give the Lord Jeffs a one-goal lead (10-9) entering the final 15 minutes of play.
Jordan found the back of the net for his second goal of the day with 3:42 to go in regulation. A late unnecessary roughness penalty on the Gulls forced them to play man-down in the final two-plus minutes and the Lord Jeffs capitalized. Acton's game winner came with 19 seconds remaining on the penalty and proved to be the difference.
Amherst's Sam Jakimo (Woodbury, NY) made 16 saves in the win while his counterpart, sophomore Mike Klein, made a dozen in the loss.
The Gulls, who received votes in this week's USILA Division III Coaches' Poll, held a large advantage in shots (51-39) and ground balls (37-29) but were plagued by 18 turnovers, including seven in the final period.
Tuesday's result marked the first win for Amherst head coach Jon Thompson as a member of the Lord Jeffs. Amherst will return to action Thursday, Mar. 17, when they head to Brown University to take on Roger Williams.

How do you mean designated alphabetically from the front? Do you mean like people are situated according to their surnames? I am quite sure that is not the case. The cars are booked out from the centre to the front and then to the back (I think). Seats are numbered with the higher number at the front end of the carriage and seat number one at the rear of the carriage.
Yes they are numbered from the front of the set. A at the beginning (business) to F at the end. Seat 12 would be situated towards the ends of the carriages. In car C the numbering starts from 66 at the front and 1 at the end. In car E I think the seating starts from 33 at the front to 1 at the end.
Hope this helps,

Adam Carter has been a versatile member of WCCO Radio since joining...Read More
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Some observant citizens at a Lake Elmo restaurant are being credited with locating a missing 15-year-old girl.
Lakeville Police say 15-year-old Melanie Davy, and her 38-year-old father Shon Davy, were spotted leaving the bathroom at the restaurant Thursday morning.
The State Patrol showed up, and took the two into custody around 7:30 a.m.
The girl hadn't been seen since Monday, when Shon Davy failed to return her from a scheduled visit. There was concern for Melanie's safety, as Shon Davy has a criminal history and severe medical issues.
Melanie was apparently in good shape, and returned to her mother. Shon Davy was taken into custody, where he is awaiting charges of Deprivation of Parental Rights.

Adding a subtask to the correct parent task in iOS
When I'm trying to add a new subtask to an existing task, how do I add it to the parent task I want, if the parent task I want it to apply to isn't the last task in that particular project? E.g. If I have a project for "Cars" which is further broken down into categories like "Car A" and "Car B" and I want to add a new subtask to "Car A" like "change oil", but the last category under the project "Cars" is "Car B", then the new subtask automatically apples itself to that last category, not the one I want it to apply to. Is there a way, in iOS, to select which task I want my new subtask to fall under (other than the last entry in that project), or can this only be done on the web-app?
Sorry if this sounds confusing!
All responses
Hello Cliff,
Unfortunately, that's currently not possible in the iOS app. On our Android app we've just implemented a way to tap on a certain task to select it and then choose "Add task below" and we're planning to port it to the iOS app too.
For now, the only way to do so on the iOS app is by dragging & dropping the newly added sub-tasks below the parent task.
Best regards,
Honestly, I totally forgot that I could drag and drop it to the preferred spot! Although the Android approach you mentioned sounds good, the drag and drop will certainly suffice for me. Sorry about that, and thank you for the quick response.

vignamaggio italian garden
Vignamaggio is a small Renaissance gem, its setting still very similar to the original. The core of the villa dates back to the XIV century, but its current look is the one given at the end of the XVI century by the Gherardi family who had purchased it from the Gherardinis.
A girl was born here in 1479 to a member of the family, the famous Mona Lisa whose portrait was subsequently painted by Leonardo da Vinci.
In more recent times, the renovation work carried out on the property by Counts Sanminiatelli, starting from the 1930s, have made the extension and embellishment of the gardens possible, so as to "have a natural park around the villa" as the poet, Bino Sanminiatelli, once wrote. The ambition of the writer, which he successfully fulfilled, was to "link the house to the wood, a good portion of which had been felled for safety reasons, by means of a cypress-tree lined avenue crossing the 'firm ground' where the wood first stood".
The garden appears to be divided into two parts. The section adjacent to the residence, set in a north-eastern direction, is characterised by the presence of flower beds surrounded by low, geometrically shaped box hedges, each containing a graminaceous plant meadow.
Scattered around the garden are rose trees, while along the pavement going all around the villa are various basins planted with lemon trees.
A row of eight, hundred year old cypress-trees separates this area from the second one, where a path divides one part on the left planted with low box hedges and a group of three holm-oak trees pruned in a conical shape from another part on the right where an escarpment is covered with Hypericum, juniper hedges and various cypress-trees. From here one can walk down to the shadiest part of the garden where six century-old holm-oak trees make a fine show.
Two columns on each side of the path lead to a less structured zone with cypress, local pine and holm-oak trees. From here starts a long cypress-tree lined avenue leading all the way to the wood.
The section of the garden situated on the north-westerly side consists of a large lawn sown with varied graminaceous plants and in the centre two large, conical shaped holm-oak trees take pride of place.
Reservations can be made for guided tours of our Italian Gardens.

Back upstate
Greetings from the Times Union Center, where Rider and Siena are set to battle for first place in the MAAC.
If Marist has the loudest crowds in the MAAC, Siena certainly has the biggest. They block off all the seats behind the basket, forcing all the fans to the middle of the arena here, and word is the place is expected to be close to packed today, with a crowd of better than 6,000.
Siena and the U of Albany (UConn fans remember the U of A as the 16 seed that gave the Huskies a run for their money in the first round of the 2006 NCAA tournament) are the only tickets in town aside from the Albany River Rats, and they take their college basketball here in Albany very seriously.
There's some extra buzz around this game for two reasons: first, the winner will be in sole possession of first place in the MAAC. Second, it's on ESPN2, and that always adds a little flavor to MAAC games, which are seldom televised.
It'd be hard to overstate the importance of this game. If the Broncs steal a win here, they'll be considered the favorite to win the MAAC, and will be off to a 2-0 start in their most difficult four game stretch of the season.
That doesn't mean a loss is the end of the world, especially since they get a rematch with the Saints in eight days at Alumni Gym. But a win means a nine-game winning streak, a spot alone in first place, and all the confidence and momentum you could hope for returning home.
If you're able to watch the game, enjoy; whether or not you are, the TCHB and tomorrow's paper will have plenty of analysis.
Have a great Saturday.

Liman Program Releases Report from Workshop Examining High Rates of Incarceration in the United States
The Arthur Liman Public Interest Program at Yale Law School has published "Uncoupling Pipelines to Prison," a report from a December 2011 workshop examining the high rates of incarceration in the United States. The workshop was co-sponsored by the Liman Program, the American Bar Association Section of Litigation, and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. It gathered together a group of approximately forty officials, scholars, and practitioners to discuss the phenomenon commonly referred to as "mass incarceration."
The conversation focused on three areas, all of which are fueling rising prison populations: (1) overcriminalization through the erosion of intentionality; (2) criminalizing adolescent misbehavior in schools and on the streets; and (3) excessive punishment and control of those convicted of criminal behavior. Participants represented an array of views and included officials from the three branches of state and federal government, criminologists, legal scholars, practitioners, and experts in education, public policy, sociology, and comparative law.

Two weeks of awfulness over, now it's back to mere drudgery. And now I have a bit of time to myself, I've got a small pile to navigate that will start getting bigger after tomorrow plus I'm going to force myself to do the thing I keep saying that I'm going to do and delve back into the 80s and 90s once more to bring back a "From The Past" section that is getting too close for comfort to requiring the services of a professional necromancer.
And I'll also take this opportunity to once more mention the startling debut from Keaton Henson that I made time to mention last week – an incredible record, and a post about it that sadly (and, slightly ironically given the subject's own reticence) went largely unread…
Anyways, on with what's been keeping me awake this week. And as a bit of a treat to Spotify types who follow either my Facebook or Twitter doingses and get the playlists that accompany these Whatevers, someone's finally pointed out to this technological halfwit that the songs on my list that are in grey can't be seen by people who aren't me. So I've picked a whole list of things that can actually be heard for a change.
And yes, I forgot to post this yesterday.

Since the OBAMACARE was foisted on the citizens of our once great nation, several large employers, ranging from restaurants and fast food establishments to colleges that rely on part time instructors with lots of part-time employees have announced plans to limit their employees to 25 hours per week in response to Obamacare. While they've taken a lot of criticism for doing this, it's worth looking at why Obamacare incentivizes employers to do exactly what they've done. In short, they are not taking advantage of a "loophole" — they are simply responding to the law's requirements and its definition of a "full-time" employee.
The "Affordable Care Act" requires "large" employers – those with 50 or more full-time-equivalent employees – to either provide "qualified" health coverage for all of their full-time employees, or pay an annual penalty of $2,000 per full-time employee (after the first 30) if they don't provide such coverage. If they do provide coverage but it's not "affordable," the penalty is $3,000 per employee who finds it "unaffordable" (with a cap at the penalty they'd pay for not offering coverage at all).
"Full-time" is defined as 30 hours or more per week, or 120 hours or more per month. ("Affordable" is defined as less than 9.5% of the employee's family income.)
For workers making at or near the minimum wage, there is even less flexibility. The wage cannot be reduced, so the employer's only option is the reduce work hours to avoid having to pay the penalty.
Economic data for Island County has worsened in the past few years. Our Local Governments claim they have produced jobs but can't show us where; especially jobs that are not associated with tourism and retailing.
It's time to change County's direction and get off that tourism fantasy. Tourism is NOT good for our economy.
Every job created to attract tourism erodes the average worker's income to sub poverty levels; those jobs do not include the benefits package that full time employees are granted.
This results in more and more citizens being forced to exist on Government funded "CARE" services i.e. the number of citizens riding in the "free government support" wagon increases exponentially and the number of gainfully employed citizens pulling the wagon reduces to the point where the wagon will eventually not to be able to provide the free ride.
The dollars Island County spends to attract tourists are wasted. and ROI values look to be bogus political spin.
Island County needs an improved and a different approach in economic planning.
The majority of the highest paid workers in Island County are employees of tax payer funded jobs, .i.e., County government, NAS Whidbey, education, and hospital /medical support .
County's economic planning needs to establish zoning areas for light manufacturing and industrial kinds of jobs.
Accept the fact that the costs for commuters' time, money and energy to off island jobs is huge; both to the people commuting, and to the Island's economy because that commuter disposable income is often spent off island.
Wake up! There's no free ride with the Government.

The whole idea of Obama care along with all its regulations is to make it impassable for business to afford the Affordable healthcare act. Thus bringing into existence single payer. this has been the goal of Obama care from the outset. No one business or private is going to be able to afford the "Affordable (LOL) health Care Act and the proponents know it. This has been their plan from the outset.

First lady Michelle Obama swept into New York City with some health advice for kids: "Drink up!"
Michelle Obama visited the New Museum in New York City to take part in the Taking Back the Streets exhibit, which is developed by WAT-AAH, a line of premium bottled water for children. The exhibit is a celebration of street art inspired by Drink Up, an initiative from the Partnership for a Healthier America which encourages all Americans to drink more water.
The New York Post reports that Mrs. Obama signed a giant paint-by-numbers piece that was created by a group of NYC eighth graders.
Talking to the young students, the First Lady praised their drive and creativity by saying, "I am honored to be here and so proud of you guys. Thank you so much for this and keep it up, keep it up you guys are role models for so many kids," reports ModVive.
The first lady is in New York to celebrate the anniversary of her Let's Move! campaign, which fights against childhood obesity. Let's Move! was started by Michelle Obama on February 9, 2010.

At the beginning of the past month, Microsoft offered for download the first beta of the next version of Windows Live OneCare. Described as all-in-one PC care, Windows Live OneCare 2.0 Beta 1 comes with a range of improvements over the previous version. And one of the features strongly emphasized by the Redmond company is Online Photo Backup. Microsoft's Brandon LeBlanc compiled the video demonstration embedded at the bottom of this article, advertising OneCare online photo backup.
"Making sure your digital photos are backed up is a high priority for Microsoft and the Windows Live OneCare Team. A user could have many years worth of digital memories stored on their PC and if that PC crashes, those memories are lost. Of course you can back those photos up to another PC, or a DVD but those don't come entirely risk-free. Backing up to another PC doesn't mean that PC won't fail and with backing up to a DVD, you run the risk of that DVD becoming damaged in some way and then unreadable to restore the data. With Online Photo Backup - you take those risks away," LeBlanc stated.
A total of 10 GB of online backup storage space will be made available for users of Windows Live OneCare 2.0. Microsoft's anti-virus comes with multiple licenses. And in this context, a maximum of three computers can run a single copy of OneCare 2.0, but this means that all the machines will share the same 10 GB of space. Still, according to LeBlanc Microsoft plans to expand the current 10 GB in the cloud storage. Still, this will not be offered as a part of the company's Software plus services strategy, in which users would buy OneCare 2.0 and get storage for free. As a matter of fact, online photo backup with OneCare 2.0 will only be free as long as the product is in beta stage. Once it is finalized, Microsoft will also place a price tag on the service.
"With the Windows Live OneCare 2.0 beta - Online Photo Backup is an "add-on" to your OneCare Subscription and allows you to backup photos to any of your PC's in your OneCare Circle. According to the Windows Live OneCare Team Blog - when Windows Live OneCare 2.0 is released, Online Photo Backup will be an added cost to your standard OneCare Subscription package," LeBlanc revealed.

The examination of SNPs has undergone a recent change, and in response to this change, RGD has released the new Variant Visualizer tool (VarVis), taking the place of the old SNPlotyper tool. VarVis is a visualization and analysis tool for sequence variation. The data currently contains 22 rat strains sequenced by 4 independent labs.
Despite what our name might imply, the Rat Genome Database contains much more than just genomic and genetic data for the rat. This video will give you an overview of the RGD Phenotypes and Models portal—a rich resource of information on topics including animal husbandry, identifying what rat strains are good models for certain human diseases, and normal physiological measurements for a variety of rat strains.

Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own risk)

Re: Spoiler whore's thread! (enter at your own ris
Hey guys,
There's a new interveiw with Lucy Lawless up at
. SHe mostly talks about her character, but the most interesting thing to me is that Robert M. Young is directing it. He's a very well-known documentarian. and while they were shooting the episode, Lucy and her "cameraman" were also shooting her reports. They will be used within the episode as well.
I just love the way BSG is willing to take risks and throw out convention when it comes to things like this! Taking thier whole "cinama verite" thing a step further. I'm really looking forward to this one!
BTW, I LOVE this thread! One-stop shopping. Brilliant idea, SJ! As a reward, here's a fantastic quote from your favorite lady President:
I think Laura should help women like Hilary Clinton get into power, McDonnell says. The more we have actresses playing women in power the more the idea becomes part of peoples expectations and culture. People start absorbing it as a given, and start expecting women to be in that position. The repetition of the image is what shifts our perception in TV and movies and then hopefully in real life.
The power in Laura grows up out of the obstacles and the circumstances, it isnt something she just pulls out of the hat or had to begin with, says the actress, whod previously come closest to power as Bill Paxtons First Lady in Independence Day. Shes dying of breast cancer, shes not ambitious politically, she wasnt trained to be in this position, she doesnt know a thing about being out in Space, so if you really line up your ducks, you go Who is going to follow her? But they keep supporting her sincerity and commitment, shes a long haul kind of girl.

According to the ministry, manufacturing and processing sector was the most attractive industry to foreign investors this year with total 9.1 billion dollars investment, accounting for 69.9 percent of the country's total registered capital.
The real estate industry followed behind with 1.85 billion dollars (14.2 percent), while the retail and repair sector came third with 483 million U.S. dollars (3.7 percent).
Japan remained the country's largest FDI investor among 58 countries and territories with total newly registered and expanded capital of 5.13 billion dollars, accounting for 39.5 percent of the total figure. Singapore ranked second with 1.72 billion dollars, followed by South Korea with 1.17 billion dollars.
The southern Binh Duong province continued to be the most attractive destination to foreign investors this year with 2.53 billion dollars, making up 19.5 percent of the country's total FDI investment, while northern Hai Phong port city ranked second with 1.16 billion dollars and southern Ho Chi Minh City came third with 1.11 billion dollars.

Overall, the FDI sector gained a trade surplus of 13.07 billion dollars.
The country's goal for FDI next year is expected to hit 14-15 billion dollars, of which around 10-11 billion dollars would be disbursed, according to the ministry.

Answer a few simple questions and we'll build your document.
How it works
Are you rebuilding your credit history? Having trouble securing a loan? A Contract for Deed may be the solution to help you buy your dream home. If you find a willing seller, a Contract for Deed can help you build credit while working towards the purchase of a new home.
Our step-by-step interview process makes creating a printable Contract for Deed easy.Make Document
Land Contract, Land Sale Contract, Contract to Buy (or Sell, or Purchase) Real Property, Contract to Buy (or Sell, or Purchase) Real Estate, Real Property (Purchase/Sale) Agreement, Deed Purchase/Sale Agreement
Purchasing a new home can be a challenge in any economy. A Contract for Deed can assist you in buying a home when other types of financing aren't available. By using a Contract for Deed, you can build your credit and take up residence in your new home by financing the sale through the seller.
A Contract for Deed is used when a seller acts as the bank for the sale of their property to you. The seller finances the sale and you take up residence while making payments to the seller. It is important to know that the document name, Contract for Deed, is a bit misleading; it's not a deed at all. A seller retains the deed and ownership of the property until you pay off the full purchase price of the property, plus interest on the loan. A Contract for Deed is also known as a Contract for Sale, Land Sale Contract or Installment Contract.
You'll need to have some information at the ready to create your Contract for Deed but most of it you probably know off hand. We'll guide you through the process with our step-by-step process so all you'll have to do is answer a few simple questions. Here are some of the key provisions in a Contract for Deed:
If you're creating a Contract for Deed, you may find yourself needing one of the following:
If you have any questions about what's right for you, we can connect you with a lawyer for quick answers or a document review.
