Joe McQuaid's Publisher's Notebook: 'Nuts' to squirrels and Ike as a boy statueBy JOSEPH W. McQUAID
February 12. 2012 6:50PM
We had fun. How can you not have fun with a kid who still says he loves his grandfather (and means it)?
But I made the mistake of mentioning the squirrels to a colleague at work.
'Nuts to the squirrels?' she said, not sounding at all pleased.
'Someone in my neighborhood is feeding unshelled peanuts to the squirrels,' she said. She made it sound like an indictment at Nuremberg.
'Something wrong with that?' I asked.
'The squirrels bring the nuts into my yard and bury them in my potted plants.'
Being consistently reckless, I pursued the matter.
'And this is troublesome how' I asked.
'Well, what if I or someone in my house had a peanut allergy?' she replied, with a knowing nod and a look like Raymond Burr would get when he, for the umpteenth time, had bested prosecuting attorney Hamilton Burger.
For some reason, I hadn't thought of that dire possibility.
'But why blame the person?' I asked. 'It's really between you and the squirrels at that point. Perhaps you could obtain some window stickers or lawn signs, something with an X drawn through a peanut, that would warn the squirrels to take their nuts elsewhere?'
She wasn't buying it, but I'm throwing it out there, free of charge, and expect some Internet entrepreneur to be on the case within 24 hours, or at least before Obamacare declares an outright ban on feeding peanuts to squirrels, unless the squirrel is a member of the clergy.
Which leads me to another dispute raging in Washington, D.C.
Ike is not my grandson's real name. It was the nickname of Dwight D. Eisenhower, World War II leader of Allied armies in Europe and two-term U.S. President.
An outdoor memorial honoring Ike has been designed for Washington. The Eisenhower family, led by granddaughter Susan, is unhappy with the proposed main statue. It would show Ike as a barefoot Kansas farm boy, looking toward examples of his future greatness.
The family argues that the memorial should center not on the boy but on the man he became. The family is right.
Eisenhower did more than any other single individual to pull together the winning coalition that smashed into Hitler's Fortress Europe and won the war there.
He ought to be sculpted wearing his Army uniform (and Eisenhower jacket), and definitely with a cigarette between his fingers.
That's what I would like little Ike and his generation to see when they visit Washington.

text: Hy Maybe this was posted before but i am a new user... So, these days i was developing a B/W film in a Pentacon Triplex tank with a corex band. The method was 30 seconds agitation (rotation of spool) in the first minute and after yhat every 10 seconds of the next developing minute. After fixation and final washing i noticed some dots on the negativ film (trasparent ones) thrue the emulsion where the image is. The dots are just on the side of the negativ... sometimes clearly visble sometimes absent... on the same roll of film. Could someone explain the nature of those dots and how to get read of them? Mention: those are not air bubbles, the film beeing pre-wetted befor loading into the spool (air bubbles create black spots on negativs as i know). Tnx for any suggestions! Regards LucianN

Morey's Piers Associate Holiday Gathering – In the Spirit of Giving
Morey's Piers Associates celebrated the spirit of giving at their annual holiday gathering, held at the Bayview Inn in Wildwood Crest on Wednesday. The gathering celebrated Morey's core values of community and leadership by encouraging associates to give back.
The Morey family and their associates support many charitable organizations throughout the year. During the holiday gathering associates purchase raffle tickets to benefit Volunteers In Medicine (VIM). This is made possible through the support of vendor partners including Sysco, Sherwin-Williams, Soltz, Tony's Produce and Singer's. Morey's associates have been involved in giving generously to VIM since 2002. This year, Morey's Piers associates were able to donate $2,500.
"We are all proud to come together and support our local community in any way we can," said Kristel Jenkins, Events and Entertainment Manager. "It's always important to give back, especially during this time of the year."
In addition to purchasing raffle tickets, associates brought in donations of new toys, clothing and gift cards to local grocery stores for The Lynch Who Stole Christmas (www.lunchwithlynch/grich).

Barbra Streisand revealed to Access Hollywood over the weekend that she might be willing to make one of Regis Philbin's dreams come true.
Late last month, in an interview with Access' Tony Potts, Regis said there was one guest he was sad he did not get during his tenure on "Live! With Regis & Kelly" – Barbra Streisand. But the superstar told Access' Shaun Robinson that she is willing to remedy Regis' woes before he departs his show in November – if he makes a cross-country trip.
"God, he's so sweet," Barbra said when Shaun shared Regis' words.
"Well, if he comes to LA — I'm not going to freezing New York," she laughed.
"OK, so if he comes to you, you'll do it?" Shaun asked.
"Maybe," Barbra said.
On Friday, days before her Grammys performance, the music legend was honored as the recipient of the Grammys MusiCares Person of the Year honor, and she also performed at that bash, singing "Memories."
"You said you were a little bit nervous before going out there – what makes you nervous?" Shaun asked.
"I don't know, might not hit a note perfectly or something," Barbra said. "I wish I drank, I don't drink, I hate liquor."
"You don't drink anything at all?" Shaun asked.
"No, cranberry juice and soda water," Barbra noted, before quickly clarifying her alcohol statement.
"I like a good beer now and then – especially with Chinese food or Japanese food," she added.
Honored by the Grammy's MusiCares for her philanthropy toward women and heart disease, Barbra revealed that the cause is something very close to her own family.
"My mother had open heart surgery, my grandparents died of heart disease, but that may be too much chopped liver you know and stuff like that – nutrition, but heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined, that's radical," she told Shaun.
While accepting the award, Barbra couldn't ignore the fact that a younger generation is now exposed to her classics thanks to "Glee."
"My niece recently watched a DVD of 'Funny Girl' for the first time and asked me why I was singing songs from 'Glee,'" Barbra said on stage at the MusiCares event.
And the music legend admitted that she has seen a bit of "Glee" herself.
"Lea Michele – have you seen her do any of your songs on 'Glee'?" Shaun asked.
"I did, I recently saw them," Barbra said.
"And what did you think?" Shaun probed.
"Very sweet voice. Yeah, she's very, very sweet," Barbra noted.
And Barbra and Lea actually met up after the Grammys.
"As if this night at the Grammys wasn't amazing enough…waiting at the valet… Mrs Barbra Streisand came up to me. I can barely breath," Lea Tweeted. "She was so wonderful, kind and beyond nice. I can't believe I just met my idol. I feel so blessed and thankful right now."
Last year, another leading lady paid photo homage to Barbra – Jennifer Aniston in Harper's Bazaar – and the superstar revealed she actually had a hand in the pictorial.
"I had met her briefly before that, but that was fun. I mean, I came to her house, lent her a dress, you know, gave her my opinions on some of the shots and it was fun," Barbra said.

Sealed beneath 4 kilometers of Antarctic ice, Lake Vostok doesn't yield its secrets easily. But researchers have recently unveiled a big one--a rocky ridge divides its waters into two basins. They likely have separate chemistries, the scientists say, and could yield unique insights into ancient Antarctic climate and the possibility of life in extreme conditions.
Lake Vostok has been essentially cut off from the world ever since it froze over around 30 million years ago. If anything lives in the lake's waters, it would have to survive using only the meltwater and particles dragged in from an overlying glacier, and possibly geothermal energy from below.
The lake's icy cover has made it hard for researchers to get a handle on some of its most basic features--including its precise temperature, dimensions, and even whether it's salty or fresh. To address some of those questions, Michael Studinger, a geophysicist at Columbia University, and colleagues flew over Lake Vostok and measured subtle variations in the gravitational pull of the ground below the lake. From these measurements, they inferred variations in density, which in turn enabled them to determine which regions were rock and which were water.
In the 19 June issue of Geophysical Research Letters, they report that Lake Vostok has two parts, separated by a ridge several hundred meters tall that probably disrupts water flow from the smaller northern basin to the larger southern basin. It's known that water melts from the glacier into the north end of the lake and freezes onto the underside of the glacier at the south end. If water flow between the two compartments is low, as Studinger and colleagues suggest, the northern basin may be significantly fresher, and sediments at its bottom would consist of what the glacier washes into the lake. The southern basin, on the other hand, would be much saltier, and the sediments there might be an untouched record of the climate in East Antarctica until the day it froze over. These different conditions may favor different types of bacteria.
"This is the most significant finding about Lake Vostok since its discovery," says glaciologist Martin Siegert of the University of Bristol, U.K. However, he says, until the lake is explored firsthand no one will really know how the water flows or what the two compartments are like. For now, Lake Vostok will keep that mystery to itself.

Axel Witsel eyes Premier League move
Zenit St Petersburg midfielder Axel Witsel has said he sees his future in the Premier League and hopes to join a club like Chelsea or Manchester United one day.
Witsel joined the Russian club from Benfica in the summer of 2012 for a fee of 40 million euros.
However, the 24-year-old said he is envious of his colleagues in the Belgium side who are plying their trade in England and is hopeful that he will soon attract attention from the Premier League's elite.
Witsel told Sportwereld: "I hope for a big club. I also see my teammates playing at teams like Chelsea or Manchester United but it doesn't worry me a bit.
"There will come a day when one of those clubs will show interest and I can leave.
"My preference goes out to the Premier League. Not because half the national team is playing there, but because the competition is the most watched."
United signed Witsel's Belgium teammate Marouane Fellaini from Everton in the summer, while Chelsea own three of his countrymen in Eden Hazard, Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, who has been loaned to Everton.
Witsel, who also played alongside Fellaini for Standard Liege before joining Benfica, was linked with Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco in the summer.

There is no news worth playing with at the moment so I'm going to have to do a self absorbed piece. But then that would mean you would be an unwitting party to this little ditty, practically watching me play with myself…this is not the Hitchhiker's column, so I'll behave.
I'm not a dick so I'll observe the moment of silence that George Kakoma so rightfully deserves. The government would do well to observe a moment as well… one of say 24hours and then slap the Public Holiday tag on it.
Kony 2012 has got a sequel of some sort, but I don't even know how newsworthy that is. To be honest, I didn't think the first round Kony fever was worth all the hype. And by first round I don't mean the original one that saw lots of people lose their lives at the hands of notorious rebel and anti-fashionista Joseph Kony. It's the Russell nonsense I'm talking about.
It's one thing to be late to the dock, but how is jerking off going to help you catch that ship after it's sailed…. {never underestimate the power of seamen}.
Don't judge me, I told you I'm having a slow day.
A while back there was some sort of debate raging somewhere over the merits of circumcision. You know something is very wrong when that becomes an issue, but hey, some scientists have gone out of their way to investigate why duck's feathers get wet when they swim.
It's pretty obvious that these people are not saleswomen peddling their 'where's'…. wares in some weird dingy bar with a bouncer that seems hell bent on crushing your nuts as he performs the regular body search. Half the time you expect him to look you square in the eye as he does so and ask, "Do these still work?" And you know for a fact that you're not going to use that to extract a discount from the ladies in there, "Come on nawe, its like jelly, you won't even feel it. Just give me a discount"
So there were rumours going about that Robert Mugabe had passed away due to prostate cancer related issues… actually, I think the Prostate Cancer was the issue. That's been dispelled though and it turns out that he is on holiday in Singapore…. When you think about it though, it sounds like something you'd pick up in the Red Pepper…and it wouldn't be so nice. "The two love birds have been seeing each other for about a year, but he has been known to go on holiday in a campus girl's Singapore…"
Sorry guys, I'm on the brink of writing about Malaria, I think it's better for everyone concerned if I just shut up now. ON the plus side I can use this when I'm auditioning for a newspepper.

SAN DIEGO, November 22, 2016 – Judge Carrie Ann Inaba called it the most competitive season of ballroom dancing ever in 23 seasons of "Dancing With The Stars."
After Monday's elimination, it came down to one last dance, the fans' votes, and the presentation of the Mirror Ball Trophy to either Calvin Johnson and Lindsay Arnold, James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess, or Laurie Hernandez and Val Chmerkovskiy.
For the first time ever, three athletes were in the final: an Olympic gold medal winning gymnast, an NFL wide receiver heading for the Hall of Fame, and a Canadian Indy Car driver who survived a horrific accident to race again.
After viewers watched previously eliminated competitors sing and dance (and who doesn't enjoy another performance of "Ice Ice Baby" from Vanilla Ice, backed up by former Texas Governor Rick Perry?), fans saw the three finalists for the last time.
James and Sharna drew two dances that suited him best all season, the Viennese Waltz and Foxtrot. The judges praised the relationship between the partners that enhanced James' technical dancing skills. They received a perfect score of 40 points.
Calvin Johnson and Lindsay Arnold danced a Quickstep/Jive fusion. It was also a great fit for Calvin's lighthearted style. It's impressive how nimble Calvin is despite his height and sheer size. His performance skills have also brightened the ballroom all season. They also earned another perfect score of 40 points.
Laurie Hernandez and Val Chmerkovskiy brought their sharpness and athletic attack to a Foxtrot/Argentine Tango fusion. The judges praised Laurie's growth as a performer as well as a dancer. Judge Julianne Hough said she was nervous about the ultimate results, because everyone danced so well. One more perfect score of 40 points from the judges made it a perfect end to a perfect season.
With such close scores after the final, less than a two percent spread from highest to lowest, it would come down to the fans to choose the Season 23 Mirror Ball Trophy Champion. But in the end, the fans agree with the judges' scores.
In third place, Calvin Johnson Jr. and Lindsay Arnold.
In second place, James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess.
In first place, Laurie Hernandez and Val Chmerkovskiy.
Final Standings
First Place: Laurie Hernandez & Valentin Chmerkovskiy
24-Hour Fusion, Foxtrot/Argentine Tango: 10-10-10-10 = 40 points
Plus Monday's 78 points = 118 points TOTAL
Second Place: James Hinchcliffe & Sharna Burgess
24-Hour Fusion, Viennese Waltz/Foxtrot: 10-10-10-10 = 40 points
Plus Monday's 77 points = 117 points TOTAL
Third Place: Calvin Johnson Jr. & Lindsay Arnold
24-Hour Fusion, Quickstep/Jive: 10-10-10-10 = 40 points
Plus Monday's 75 points = 115 points TOTAL

Anyone Have A Cake Pop Roller They Are Looking To Sell?
Baking By MegansCakePops Updated 9 Apr 2013 , 2:32am by Lcubed82
Hello All! I am interested in buying a Heavenly Cake Pop Roller but I've heard mixed reviews and since there are not returns once the item comes in contact with food I don't want to pay full price and end up not being able to use it. Rolling is the most tedious and time consuming part of my process though so I want to at least give it a try before I write it off altogether. I am reaching out to you guys to see if anyone has one that is just taking up space that they are interested in selling. You can either reply to this post, or send me an email; [email protected]
AUnfortunately private sales are not allowed on CC, but there is a classifieds feature in the forum software that has not yet been enabled. If you want to see classifieds added, go to this thread and voice your opinion: http://cakecentral.com/t/755595/classifieds-buy-sell-trade
https://www.facebook.com/groups/247041885363925/ Go ask here.
Do you know the price is down from $269 to $99? I bought one at this lower price. I haven't had many chances to work with it yet, and am still getting inconsistent balls, but I'm not giving up!

Chef Ken Norris was fly-fishing on the Deschutes River when the name popped into his head.
The "riffle" in Riffle NW, the restaurant Norris and his wife, Jennifer, plan to open in the Pearl District May 15, refers to a small rapids system in a river where fish often congregate to feed.
The Norrises think Riffle NW can be the seafood-focused restaurant Portlanders have long craved.
They call their restaurant "catch-inspired," meaning they plan to create a menu of seafood specials each day based on the market's best fish the same way another chef might after scouring local farmer's markets for fresh vegetables.
"The majority of the fish that we get in will be whole, which we will break down and butcher in house," Ken Norris said. "We plan to take advantage of all the local seafood we can find: sea urchin, sanddabs, razor clams, crabs, shellfish, geoduck."
Before moving to Portland, the couple worked in fine dining in New York, Ken at Daniel Boulud's Restaurant Daniel and more recently at August, Jennifer at Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Mercer Kitchen then as head of catering for Saks Fifth Avenue.
Last year, the Norrises held a series of dinners at the KitchenCru restaurant incubator before signing a lease on the former 50 Plates location, 333 NW 13th Ave.
"Irving Street Kitchen, Bluehour, Oven & Shaker, there's a real resurgence in the Pearl, and we're so excited about that," Jennifer Norris said. "Our main focus was to find a spot where we could surround ourselves with other great restaurants and talent, and work with them to make the neighborhood as solid as it can be."
The Norrises also plan an ambitious drinks program from beverage director Dave Shenaut and wine director Dan Beekley. In addition to a wine list heavy with selections from France's Loire valley, Riffle NW will feature ice produced in-house by a Clinebell ice maker then carved by hand.
Riffle NW will hold preview dinners on Thursday and Friday. Tickets for the four-course meal, at $55 each, are available here.

Palestinian territories
GIZ has been working in the Palestinian territories since the 1980s. Since May 2005 we have been working with the KfW Development Bank at the Deutsches Haus in Al-Bireh/Ramallah. In August 2011, an additional GIZ programme office was opened, from which the individual programmes are managed. We have another office in the Gaza Strip.
GIZ currently employs 145 staff members in the Palestinian territories, including 24 seconded experts, 2 CIM experts, 24 development advisors,8 peace experts and 95 national experts.
The unresolved Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the main constraints to peace and sustainable development across the entire Middle East, but most particularly in the Palestinian territories.
De facto and politically, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip are separate entities. Import and export restrictions and the geopolitical fragmentation of the Palestinian territories are an obstacle to the movement of goods and persons, and thus stand in the way of economic development. Internal uncertainties and the limited self-rule exercised by the Palestinian Authority make it difficult to build state institutions. Conflicts flare up regularly over the equitable distribution and use of water resources. The unregulated status of Palestinian refugees throughout the region is another major barrier to achieving peace.
Wars and uprisings have shaken the region repeatedly since 1948. Germany is endeavouring to find a peaceful solution to the conflict and advocates a two-state solution. In September 2011 the Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas submitted an application to the United Nations for the recognition of a Palestinian state within the borders that stood in 1967. In November 2012 the UN General Assembly voted to upgrade the status of the Palestinian territories to that of a 'non-member observer state'. This once again focused international attention on the conflict in the region, but there are still no signs that a solution is within reach.
The long-standing cooperation with GIZ at all levels means that we are appreciated as a reliable partner. The targeted combination of international expertise and national know-how benefits ministries, private and public institutions and civil society organisations.
On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), we operate in four priority areas:
- Water and sanitation
- Economic reform, employment and the labour market
- Institution building and civil society
- Civil Peace Service
GIZ is implementing measures in the priority area of security, peace building and reconstruction on behalf of the German Federal Foreign Office.

solo performance
Over the years, I've developed a series of electroacoustic pieces for 'augmented solo' performance. These can stand alone, or be presented as part of a recital including other contemporary literature for oboe and English horn. (Scroll down for a sample list of available repertoire.)
A Spurious Autobiography for John Barth (2015) is a framework for confronting head-on the tautological pitfalls of solo improvisation – the sneaking suspicion that, in the wake of 'developing a voice,' one's just doing the same damn things over and over again in subtly different contexts. I fed, in two separate passes, the entirety of my first solo album, entymology (2000), through the circuitry of the classic modular analog EMU synthesizer housed at UC Santa Cruz. I then placed the chopped-up results into a structure that digitally flings taunting distortions of overly familiar materials at me in unpredictable orders and combinations. The effect is one of strapping myself into a personal-hell monkey-mind batting cage for your voyeuristic amusement.
Performed live Feb 4, 2016 at the Music of the Americas Concert Series, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Many thanks to José-Luis Hurtado and Kevin Vigneau for the opportunity, and to Manny Rettinger, Liz Rincon, and Eugene Sidorov for the documentation.
In A Fuzzy Monolith for James Turrell (2015), I was interested in dragging myself away from over-reliance on texture, timbre, and extremities of extended technique, and towards a careful attention to pitch, interval, and motive. But that's my problem. What I hope to convey to the listener is some semblance of the surprisingly moving impact that can arise from work that aims directly for a hijacking of the perceptual system. I love how Turrell's sculptures are somehow simultaneously so monumental and so tender. They require time and presence – you don't look at them, you have to inhabit them – but with patience you rather suddenly realize that the very way you're physically experiencing light has changed. Figure and ground flip; proximity and distance get mushy; you see yourself seeing.
Gasps & Fissures (2004) is an exploration of scrutiny and deception, hyper-extending a limited instrumental palette. Subtle, often borderline microscopic sounds of acoustic instrumental origin are grotesquely magnified and manipulated to sculpt music of claustrophobic intimacy and impossible physicality.
The CD on 482Music (realized through the Artist Residency Program at Experimental Sound Studio, Chicago, and funded in part by the National Endowment for the Arts) was conceived as a response to the paradoxes and absurdities of recording improvised music.
Gasps & Fissures as a live performance employs re-worked recorded materials and disorienting amplification to provide an ever-evolving framework for structured solo improvisation.
other sample repertoire:
Luciano Berio – Sequenza VII (1969) oboe
Harrison Birtwistle – An Interrupted Endless Melody (1991) oboe & piano
Christopher Burns – The Mutiny of Rivers (2010) English horn & live electronics (commissioned for EKG)
Elliot Carter – A Six Letter Letter (1996) English horn; Inner Song (1992) oboe
Chaya Czernowin – The Last Leaf (2010) oboe
Morton Feldman – Oboe and Orchestra (1976) oboe & tape (EKG's radical arrangement, w/ Ernst Karel's analog synthesizer realization of the orchestral score)
Brian Ferneyhough – Coloratura (1966) oboe & piano
Arthur Jarvinen – A Conspiracy of Crows (2000) oboe & tape
Mario Lavista – Marsias (1982) oboe & 8 crystal glasses
Mary Jane Leach – Xantippe's Rebuke (1993) oboe & tape
Liza Lim – Gyfu (2011) oboe
Olivier Messaien – Vocalise étude (1935) oboe & piano
Michael Pisaro – mind is moving (VII) (1996) oboe
gasps & fissures :: 482Music 1027 (2004)
Kyle Bruckmann – oboe, English horn, suona, and mijwiz
(with Kurt Johnson, double bass)
"Gasps & Fissures's microscopic constructions are meticulously built from some of the music's smallest bits. . . Bruckmann's classical and jazz influences are stripped down and dissected, resulting in music that's as much electronic as it is either of the aforementioned styles. Gasps & Fissures inhabits the areas in between these territories, not straddling them so much as existing deep in the cracks, where many wouldn't even think to look. Like a slide of single-celled organisms bursting to life under a microscope, this album finds flourishing life in the most unexpected of places." (Adam Strohm, Dusted Magazine)

London (Sep. 23)
Sympathy for Jewish aspirations and sufferings was expressed here today by Viscount Simon, Lord Chancellor, addressing a meeting at which his wife, Lady Simon, was presented with a certificate attesting that her name has been inscribed in the Jewish National Fund's Golden Book in Jerusalem.
"I am roused to the heights of indignation at reading the cruelties of the Nazi blackguards against the Jewish people," Viscount Simon said. "I come to you with real sympathy for the aspirations for which you stand. I also come from a small race – the Welsh – and I, too, reflect how much the Welsh people had to fight for their rights and how much can be done by a national spirit determined to protect the members of its race."

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
A baker in Colorado is facing a possible jail sentence because he declined to make a cake for a gay wedding.
At the time of the incident last year, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation was a criminal offense in the state.
The lawyer for Christian baker Jack Phillips says, "The complainants can sue him civilly in the regular courts system or he can potentially be prosecuted by the district attorney for up to 12 months in jail."
Phillips, one of the owners of Masterpiece Cakeshop, says providing a cake for Dave Mullins and Charlie Craig went against his Christian beliefs about marriage.
Mullins and Craig took the baker to the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD), which ruled that Phillips had broken the law, prompting the attorney general's office to file a complaint against the bakery.
The case is scheduled for a hearing in September before Colorado's Civil Rights Commission.
Gay marriage is not legal in the state, and the couple married in Massachusetts and then planned to celebrate in Colorado.
Earlier this year, a Christian florist received an arson threat for her stance against gay marriage. Barronelle Stutzman received hate mail as well as the threat to burn down her shop after she declined to provide flowers for a gay wedding.

Have you found personal contentment?
In our culture today, the conventional wisdom is that we will find contentment from something different than what we have now: a bigger home, a nicer car, higher salary, or even a new spouse.
That's because, as the old saying goes "The grass always looks greener on the other side."
But real contentment is not a state of account but a state of heart.
A Japanese proverbs says, "Even if you sleep in a 1000 mat room, you can only sleep on one mat."
Paul the Apostle found what we might describe as the 'secret' of contentment.
In the book of Philippians he wrote "For I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content" (Philippians 4:11).
Have you found that secret? Would you like to know more?
Then join us tonight either in person or online for our final message in the book of Philippians.
It all starts at 7:00 PM at Harvest Orange County.

Tonight at Harvest Orange County

|You are in: Golf: Ryder Cup
Sunday, 29 September, 2002, 16:27 GMT 17:27 UK
Plucky Parnevik catches Woods
Jesper Parnevik v Tiger Woods
(Match halved)
Jesper Parnevik put on a defiant display to snatch a late half for Europe in the Ryder Cup singles on Sunday.
Parnevik kept up the pressure in a tense clash with Tiger Woods to take the game to the final hole.
The Swedish wildcard refused to buckle to the world number one and held on to grab a half after both agreed to concede.
But the match was of little consequence as the Ryder Cup had already been won by Europe's Paul McGinley while the players were on the previous hole.
Despite the cheers erupting from the adjacent green, the American and Swede decided to continue playing.
It was an impressive comback from Parnevik, who was behind for most of the front nine.
The Swede held on against an indifferent Woods and even went one-up temporarily after birdies at the 11th and 13th hole.
But it was his Californian opponent who approached the final green ahead by a hole before agreeing to halve the irrelevant match.

ATHLETICS Central AC dominated the first indoor league match of the season with a record 10 teams finishing in top 3 positions. After a long break since the end of the outdoor season in September the athletes were raring to start the indoor season.
None more so than the under 13 girls who scored the most decisive victory possible winning every event. Much of the success came down to sisters Lucy & Abby Davison with Lucy taking a treble win in the 60m hurdles (10.38s), long jump (4.19m) and shot (7.21m) and Abby showing a clean pair of heels to the opposition with the sprint double in the 60m (8.93s) and 200m (29.5s). Further wins for Elizabeth Thompson (800m, 2:38.3) and Lucy Smith (High Jump, 1.30m) completed a historic clean sweep, never before achieved by a club team. The B team added to the success with Ciorstaidh Ainsworth (800m, 2:40.1) and Freya Walker (shot, 6.31m) completing a Central 1-2 with Emma Mailer (200m, 30.1s, 4th), Catriona Horrill (60m, 9.45s) and Mirren Latimer (Long Jump, 3.18m) bringing the B team into 4th place.
The under 17 women were also dominant with Emily Watson winning the 200m in a new senior club record 26.8s and Amy Gullen equalled her club record in winning the high jump (1.60m). Bevhan Trevis added a further win in the shot (8.61m) just short of her club record 9.02m set a few days earlier.

Episode Title: "War"
Teleplay by: Warren Leight
Story by: Bryan Goluboff & Warren Leight

Director: Norberto Barba
Previously on "Lights Out":
Five years after losing the heavyweight championship to Richard "Death Row" Reynolds (Billy Brown), Patrick "Lights" Leary (Holt McCallany) found that his millions had run dry and his mental health was potentially at risk from pugilistic dementia. As his fortunes clouded, Lights became indebted to a mobster named Hal Brennan (Bill Irwin), who took an unhealthy interest in Lights and his family. Under Brennan's influence, Lights nearly faced jail time for assault and bribery before finally landing the biggest payday of his life: a rematch with Death Row.
With just two weeks before the big fight, Lights' estranged mother, Mae (Valerie Perrine) returned to his life and tried to win back her family. Her former husband, Robert "Pops" Leary (Stacy Keach) was all too eager to see her again, but her other children Johnny (Pablo Schreiber) and Margaret (Elizabeth Marvel) never forgave her. In the end, they turned out to be right all along. Lights discovered that his mom wanted to bilk him for money, so he ultimately sent her away for good with one last payoff.
In a dream, Lights relives his last match with Death Row and he wakes with a start when the other man is crowned champion. He also hears the cries of his youngest daughter, who apparently had a nightmare about Lights getting injured in his upcoming boxing match. He assures her that it was just a dream, but his other daughters look at him with worry too. But it's far too late to turn back now. Lights says his goodbyes to his wife, Theresa Leary (Catherine McCormack) and takes off with Pops and Johnny for the big weekend ahead. When they arrive at the posh hotel, Death Row is already outside holding court with reporters and taunting Lights.
In a dream, Lights relives his last match with Death Row and he wakes with a start when the other man is crowned champion. He also hears the cries of his youngest daughter, who apparently had a nightmare about Lights getting injured in his upcoming boxing match. He assures her that it was just a dream, but his other daughters look at him with worry too. But it's far too late to turn back now. Lights says his goodbyes to his wife, Theresa Leary (Catherine McCormack) and takes off with Pops and Johnny for the big weekend ahead. When they arrive at the posh hotel, Death Row is already outside holding court with reporters and taunting Lights.
Shortly thereafter, an associate of Brennan's summons Lights and Johnny to a dinner attended by many former boxing champions blackballed by Barry K. Word (Reg E. Cathey). Brennan finally reveals his endgame to the assembled fighters. With their help, he plans to form a new boxing league free of Word's influence. Lights says that he'll get involved only if the fighters agree to donate 10% of their earnings to a fund for former boxers in need. At the hotel, Theresa inadvertently meets up with Death Row's wife, Jennifer (Reiko Aylesworth), who seems far too confident of her husband's abilities over Lights.
At the weigh-in, Death Row takes the opportunity to point out that Lights has faced several serious criminal allegations over the last few months… and we in the audience know that he's guilty of every single one. Word soon comes to Lights' hotel suite with one last devastating blow for his confidence. He mentions knowing about Brennan's boxing league plans and more damningly, he tells Lights that he didn't win his comeback fight with El Diablo. Instead, El Diablo threw the fight for Brennan and Word produces proof, which leaves Lights shattered.
On the day of the fight, Lights receives confession for his many sins and he expresses his deep regret over placing the burden of his secrets on his daughter, Daniella. But finally, the match of his life is soon underway. In the first round, Lights can barely mount an offense against Death Row, who savagely beats him with a flurry of punches. Worse, the referee blatantly calls the fight in Death Row's favor with several beyond questionable calls. In the second round, Lights manages to make it a fight and he even gains an advantage over Death Row which the ref does everything that he can to negate.
During the third round, Lights dominates the fight. The crooked ref tries to have it stopped due to a cut over Lights' eye, but Brennan paid off the ring doctor to prevent it. Lights hammers Death Row into submission until even the ref is forced to concede that the fight is over. Lights is crowned the world heavyweight champion once again, while Death Row is literally carried from the ring in defeat.
But alone in the locker room after the fight, Lights wanders around in confusion. Theresa finally catches up to him to bring him to the post match press conference. And then Lights asks with sadness and sincerity, "who won the fight?" Meanwhile, Brennan and Word wait like competing vultures alongside Pops and Johnny before Lights and Theresa join them. The series closes as Word introduces Lights to the assembled press as the champ.
There's a disturbing trend happening at FX. Some of their best original series have delivered really powerful 13 episode seasons… which almost no one watched. And that was certainly the case with "Lights Out," one of the best new shows on TV in its first and only season.
It's a credit to the writing of the series that this episode serves as such an effective finish for both the season and the show in general. A defeat for Lights would have been more surprising than his eventual win, but "Lights Out" has always managed to make compelling drama out of a story that we've seen in different forms many times before.
The early signs of Lights' dementia were interspersed throughout the season, but that last moment with Theresa was a heart breaker. Lights has constantly tried to hide that problem from her, but it's more or less in the open now. As a price to pay for his victory, it suits Lights as a greater penance than the 10 Hail Marys and acts of contrition that the priest gave him. If the series was still going forward, it would have been interesting to see how long Lights could hold out against the complete onset of dementia.
Part of what made Lights such an effective protagonist was how flawed he really was. Lights was absolutely guilty of doing horrible things to get himself back into this position and he got out of trouble only by the skin of his teeth and the grace of a mobster. In other words, he wasn't exactly Rocky Balboa. But Lights was first and foremost a family man, who loved and took care of all of his relatives… almost to his detriment.
The fight itself was a satisfying way to settle Lights' conflict with Death Row, although I was hoping to see a few more rounds from that. The back and forth in the ring between the two fighters was believable, but that ref was way too over the top in favor of Death Row. It was so comical at times that it seemed to distract from the actual drama in the ring.
I laughed at Barry K. Word's "Justice League" reference, possibly my favorite comic book shout out this year. And the way that he tried to destroy Lights before the match actually carried a lot of power. I know it would have pushed credibility even further, but I would have loved to have seen Lights punch out Word and/or Brennan… the twin destructive influences in his life. For all of his troubles, Lights was just a pawn in their game against each other.
Aside from Theresa, most of the supporting cast didn't have a lot do in this episode. I was hoping for a more redemptive moment for Johnny, the perpetual screwup. But at the very least, Pops got his moment with his "let these (gloves) be your judge" speech. Make no mistake, this was a strong ending of a great series. Given the reception "Lights Out" got, it may even hold the distinction of the last boxing related series for a long time to come.
But it went out on top.

The constitution only works for a moral and just people, which we are neither. Anyone willing to give up liberty for security deserves neither. Ben Franklin, we have lost our way, the corruption is dripping with such foulness even the ground we walk on quivers with disgust.
With no accountability, our debt is so great it will never be paid. Big businesses not paying their fair share of the tax burden ain't helping matters. Then we have schools; we need more money, and more and more need.
How is a nation united? United in what, making money. Big business and big governments. You are just a number. Traditional marriage vanishing, the exterminating of babies, disappearing employment, zero morals, no shame.
Government growing to proportions never intended by the Founders. God will not and is not going to bless a wicked and adulterous nation. The question isn't if, it's when will judgment fall. Sodom and Gomorrah? He is no inspector of persons. America isn't special. Push God out of everything, don't expect anything but wrath.
The whole duty to man is to fear God and keep His commandments; may God have mercy on this nation.
United we stand, since when? With more than half of all marriages failing? One man and one woman as God intended it for life, that institution is the foundation of any nation. God takes no pleasure in fools pay that which thou hast vowed.
How is the nation united when courtrooms are full to the brim with divorce proceedings and custody battles, destruction at its finest. Selfish illegitimate adults; don't get married if you plan not to stay married and be faithful.
How is a nation united when it marches innocent human beings that are wonderfully and fearfully made in the name of woman's health, that is why one should not have sex outside of marriage; one word, selfish.
Criminals have more rights than the unborn, how is that united? What kind of nation elects grown men and women that slander, bash and disrespect one another. Too busy with that to do what's best for the country.
Too busy being politically correct instead of standing for what's right, like upholding the constitution entrusted of trying to reunite it or to make it fit their agenda. Do they work for us or do we work for them? I guess we get whatever we deserve.

PUTRAJAYA: Farmers markets (pasar tani) will soon be seen located along major highways in the Klang Valley, said Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed.
He said 11 locations have been identified, five along the Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong and two each along the PLUS, Kesas and Elite highways.
The feasibility of the identified areas would be studied soon before the infrastructure works are prepared, he said, adding that the market stalls would be located at rest and recreational areas.
The 11 pasar tani are part of the 50 new markets the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority (Fama) has planned to set up by December, he added.
Mustapa said the rising cost for fuel and food was one reason behind increasing the number of pasar tani nationwide.
"Now the biggest issue or problem facing the people is the escalating cost for goods and shortage of foodstuff.

Greymouth businessman Lance Topliss is ruing the third storm to damage to his Tainui Street premises.
"Previously I have had windows blown out and lost the roller door, but there is untold damage this time," Mr Topliss said of his business, Lance Topliss Auto Electricians.
His was one of two commercial premises left uninhabitable by the Cyclone Ita windstorm on Thursday, the other being R and N Traders.
"I was in the building (at the time) and at first the front window blew in, but when three sections of iron blew off the roof it was time to go," Mr Topliss said today.
He and staff returned on Good Friday to gather up the stock, and he is now awaiting a visit from the insurance assessor before deciding where he will trade while repairs are made.
"I will set up a temporary location in Greymouth but at the end of the day I want to be back in this building, all going well," Mr Topliss said.
R and N Traders owner Kevin Frewin said it was too early to say what the future held for his Boundary Street premises and business operation.
On Friday, a team of volunteers helped clean out the entire store after the roof was torn off during the windstorm.
"At present we have what stock we could save in storage at New Zealand Safety, but things are in a real shambles. We were lucky we had a lot of help from people," Mr Frewin said.
"At this stage I'm unsure. We can't trade from where we have our stock, but it is only when the insurance assessors check out the old building that we will have some idea.
"We had not long left when the wind hit, but I went back to check and the back door was blown in and the roof had gone. I got out of the wagon and the wind was blowing that hard I had to hang on to the building - it was terrifying."

LOCAL BREVITIESE. ROTHLISBERGER, father of Frank, has moved his family to town. Several of the young people from this place attended the dance at Ronald last Saturday night. Signs of prosperity are apparent in the frequent visits of the silk hat fraternity with various lines of
goods for sale. According to those who claim to be posted on piscatorial excursions, the salmon will soon be splitting
the waters of the Yakima. B. BRAIN, Frank SEATON, and Mr. CLINE, head sawyer, have erected cottages in South Cle Elum, which they
will occupy. Verily, South Cle-Elum has taken a boom. Mr. BARAMER, a former roadmaster on this division, but now of Spokane of Northern, was in town the ???
part of this week looking after his property interests here. Ex-assistant superintendent PALMER of the Pacific Investment Company came in last Saturday night to await
the return here of Hon. C. J. VALLENTINE from the upper country. Two Italians were on the street last week with a couple of large cinmon bear, which they had perform about
ten minutes for two dollars. Thomas JOHNSON, who shipped 5200 pounds of sulphrets from the Peschastin to Tacoma, realized $184 net,
from the shipment, which is a good showing. He will make another shipment in the near future. F. M. COX has made application for the postmastership at Easton and his recommendations are of a nature
that insures his securing it. Mr. COX was in town this week and reports business fair in his new location. A dispute arose last Saturday night at Ronald between John SHEPARDSON, the colored watchman, and
Joko MILLER, the constable of the village over a two-bit bet. MILLER drew a 44 caliber Colts revolver and
fired twice at SHEPARDSON across the card table. The first shot took effect in SHEPHARDSON's arm and the
next grazed his abdomen. The wounds are not serious. Four cars left the track from an east bound freight on the main line, in the west end of town last Sunday
morning... Nobody was hurt, but the cars were badly damaged. Walter J. REED, the little four year old son of John REED of Yakima and nephew and namesake of Walter J.
REED of this place, died very suddenly last Sunday night of croup. Walter was a bright child, a streak of
sunlight that gladdened not only the hearts and lives of his parents, but of all who were accustomed to his
childish prattle. No words of condolence can palliate the berevement that such a loss occasions. Okanogan Bill, the wild man from Borneo, after a weeks visit and recreation among friends in civilization,
took his departure last Monday at 11 a.m., amid all the pomp and glory due a distinguished personage. His
raven black cayuse sniffed the air of battle from afar and pranced about the street like the fiery charger
of the famous duke of Wellington. Mr. MILLER has gone to the Colville reservation. May the lines call to
him in pleasant places. So long, Bill. Judge BOYLES and S. S. HAWKINS came down Tuesday from the upper country where they have been doing
assessment work on some excellent claims. Some very fine specimens of ore shows conclusively that they have
interests there worth prosecuting. These gentlemen will remain here for the winter.

A GUN PLAYThere was an exciting gun play at the depot last Tuesday noon. Constable BLUNT of Roslyn had charge of
one MULDAHRY, a prisoner who was under arrest for striking a man named BURNS in KLAUS & Co.'s saloon at
Roslyn with a beer glass. The constable was on the way to Ellensburgh with MULDAHRY and while awaiting at
the depot here for the east bound passenger, the prisoner attempted to make a sneak, whereupon the officer
fired six shots at the fleeing man, one of which merely touched the tip end of his thumb. The fellow lay
down in the brush where he was discovered shortly afterwards by some of the bystanders and turnd over to the
officer who took him back to Roslyn to await the night train, having missed the noon passage. When MULDAHRY
was brought down Tuesday night, he was heavily shackeled, hands and feet. The constable and prisoner took
the night train for Ellensburgh.
VOLCANIC EVIDENCE (Letter to the Editor)While out prospecting recently, Mr. CONNELL and myself discovered a remarkable eruption in the mountains
between the waters of the Yakima and Taneum. The eruption has occured between the iron and coal belt and is
about 300 feet wide by a quarter a mile long. A wonderful mass of stuff has been thrown out. The causes
that produced this upheaval are of course unknown. The great mass of matter which has been shot out of the
bowels of the earth consists of blackened rock, sand, dirt, quartz, slate and almost all manner of mineral
formations of every size and shape... There is every evidence this is an extinct volcano. The character of
the burnt rock and melted mineral substances that have run together in a mysterious mixture, all prove that
the heated interior of the earth belched forth at this point sometime in the world's history. Pat TOWMEY

Carrell was referring to the recent revelation that a total of sixteen residents of the SCC are facing federal indictments for crimes related to possession of child pornography. Because a nine-month backlog of confiscated computers is still awaiting inspection, Carrell says he expects that number to double.
"Our state has a two-strike law for sex crimes, and it's very likely that many of these individuals under indictment will be sentenced to life in prison if convicted," Carrell said. "The state should not be enabling sex predators to continue victimizing children through the viewing of child pornography by allowing SCC residents access to their computers. I'm disappointed that the House chose to make the language of my bill less restrictive, but it has strengthened my resolve to make this bill even tougher next year."
The House passed SB 6308 by a vote of 97-1 on Mar. 5. It will now go to the governor to be signed into law.
