The Garlanded Classroom
By GRAHAM BOWLEY
Published: September 23, 2007
IT was the Friday before Memorial Day, and at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church Day School near East 73rd Street, a dozen 3- and 4-year-olds accompanied by three teachers trooped past a rabbit cage and a butterfly net. They were on their way to the flower beds outside.
Their classroom was a noisy, sunny space dominated on one wall by a large group-produced painting composed of elaborate blue, orange and yellow shapes. On tables next to a piano sat a flotilla of models fashioned from clay, wire, shells, sticks and washers.
In some respects, the scene resembled that in many of the city's nursery schools. But Madison Avenue Presbyterian is not your ordinary nursery school.
The school is inspired by an approach to teaching young children that was developed in the municipal schools of a northern Italian town called Reggio Emilia. This approach emphasizes the use of art in children's learning and encourages a luxurious beauty in both their work and their surroundings. Classrooms are draped with cloth and garlanded with lattices and vines. Most of the schools have their own art rooms, called ateliers, which are staffed by full-time art teachers, known as atelieristas.
The approach is based on the assumption that children learn best in groups and are resourceful enough to come up with their own ideas for lessons. Under the Reggio Emilia system, children investigate themes like angels or elevators; in one famous example, they built water wheels and fountains for an amusement park for birds. The method so engages and electrifies children, its supporters contend, that they create work of unparalleled beauty and complexity.
In the opinion of Patricia Pell, director of the Madison Avenue school, the approach is a perfect reflection of the nation where it was developed; as Ms. Pell put it, ''It is very much part of the Italian personality to discuss, argue, compare and work collaboratively.''
The Reggio system is developing a following in the United States and, although no hard numbers are available, a growing presence in New York. Hundreds of teachers are making pilgrimages to Reggio Emilia to get ideas for their classrooms. (Full disclosure: The author's 2-year-old daughter was put on wait lists at two Reggio-inspired schools but not admitted.)
The approach is not without critics. They contend that the cost, which can include thousands of dollars to send teachers abroad for training, makes the approach too expensive for any but the richest private schools; not surprisingly, a nucleus of exclusive Upper East Side nurseries is leading the trend to send teachers to Italy.
Others warn that because the approach lets children choose their own projects, it leaves them bereft of basic academic skills, a disadvantage in New York's often cutthroat testing culture, in which the search for a place at a top-flight school can border on obsession.
But over the past few years the approach has gained a tentative foothold in the city in private nursery schools and even in some public schools. Although a spokeswoman for the Department of Education could not cite numbers, the system is used in perhaps a dozen city schools. The North American Reggio Emilia Alliance says it has a thousand members nationwide and about 120 in New York State. Of the 249 Americans who visited the town on an educators' tour last March, 78 were from New York City.
Its supporters say it is helping produce a generation of confident children -- risk takers and innovators who are able to think for themselves.
''Early childhood education is not respected in this country,'' Ms. Pell said. ''To see it so respected and important in this city in Italy was a relief.''
A Trip to the Sun
A key tenet of the Reggio Emilia approach is that art helps children express their thoughts. Reggio classrooms are packed with a profusion of innovative materials for the children to work with, such as pebbles, dried orange peel, driftwood, tangles of wire and tin cans. ''The environment as the third teacher'' is a favorite Reggio phrase.
The approach also tries to make schoolhouses resemble places where everyday life goes on. They are often designed around a central piazza where children can mingle and talk, and they usually include a kitchen with a full-time cook.
A key aspect of the approach, child-led investigative group projects, was on display one morning a few months ago at Brick Church School, a Reggio- inspired institution on East 92nd Street, under the watchful eye of Katherine Gregory and Arlene Hammer, two teachers who had visited Reggio. The 20 4-year-olds of Class 4S, in a large room that overlooked neighboring brownstones, played loudly amid the remnants of a project to investigate space.
''We were doing space, and we said, 'What would you like to do?' '' Ms. Gregory said. ''They said, we want to have a museum and have all the kids come see.''
Ms. Hammer added: ''They said, we want to make the room black. So we had garbage bags and a spaceship from recycled materials. And Nick made a moon.''
And so the day continued.

TAMPA — Donald "Woody" Woodard knew his beard longer than he knew his wife.
During the more than 30 years they were together, Patti Woodard never saw her husband's chin. The beard, at its longest, extended below his chest.
It started growing when he was about 15 years old, said his childhood friend Mike Beasley. The year was 1972.
Since then, no one can recall a time when the reddish-blond hair, which would later in life become streaked with gray, didn't dominate Mr. Woodard's face.
Mr. Woodard, whose beard, his wife says, was nicer than those of ZZ Top's frontmen, died at home on Feb. 14 from cancer. He was 53.
Patti Woodard was the only person allowed to trim it. She carefully cut 6 or so inches off the ends about every three months, to get rid of the straggly hairs.
"He would watch me in that mirror like a hawk," she said. "I would have to show him exactly how much I was going to cut and then we would start just a little bit lower, 'just in case you make a mistake,' he would say."
Born in Arizona, Mr. Woodard moved to Tampa in 1960 when his father was transferred to MacDill Air Force Base.
Mr. Woodard met his future wife in the late 1970s and became an instant father to her 1-year-old daughter, Deanna Dick.
"I just loved his beard, I pegged him when I saw him and I just knew he was the one," his wife said about the day they met.
His 19-year-old daughter, Olivia Woodard, said the beard was just part of who her father was.
"He had the hat, the glasses, the T-shirt and the beard. That was him," she said.
Underneath all the hair was a generous man, said Mr. Woodard's neighbor, Renee Walker.
During the more than 10 years that Walker lived beside Mr. Woodard, he helped her trim trees, mow the lawn, install new bathroom fixtures and more.
After his death, Walker wrote a poem labeling his unusual neighborliness as "radical kindness."
Mr. Woodard was a jack of all trades, his wife said, but he made a living working as a pipe layer in the construction industry. There were opportunities to expand into welding and other areas, but sometimes his beard would get in the way.
"Some new offers meant he would have to cut his beard for work, and he always declined," his wife said. "He would rather lose his job than cut his beard."
But Mr. Woodard didn't lose his job, he worked for American Construction Services of Tampa for more than 20 years.
"You couldn't get a better, more dependable employee," said Bobby Glover, a co-owner of the company.
After Mr. Woodard's death, his wife cut off a lock of his hair to keep. But she didn't dare touch his beard.
"It just wouldn't have been right," she said. "I trimmed it when it needed trimming, and that was it."

Lebanese ski champion Jackie Chamoun posed nude on snow during a session taken by six-time Mexican Olympic skier Prince Hubertus von Hohenlohe, for a calendar featuring skiers and models posing topless on ski resorts around the world.
You know Jackie Chamoun, she's a Beirut native recently profiled by NBC for defying the odds to compete at the Sochi Winter Olympics. In Vancouver in 2010, she finished 54th in the women's slalom event.
The Jackie Chamoun photo-session isn't regarded too highly of across a few Lebanese media channels. As this is a SFW site, all the pics you'll see here are SFW. This video has some NSFW elements, but it's only NSFW in America, if you're reading this in Western Europe, it's fine. And it's on YouTube, and you know that YouYube had moderate to strict filtering. The Jackie Chamoun calendar photos come from Beiruiting.com (see the whole shoot there)
There's nothing really racy or risque here, or anything that hasn't been done by an athlete before. However, Jackie Chamoun is from a culture that's rather conservative, so she issued a post on her Facebook page where she apologized, saying the photos wrongly reflect the conservative culture in Lebanon.
"I just want to make it clear to everyone who commented, shared the photos that appeared on the net in Lebanon yesterday," Jackie Chamoun said.
"Yes I did photos for an Austrian ski calendar with other professional athletes 3 years ago. The photos of the photoshoot are not like the actual images that are now circulating on the net. The video and photos that you are now seeing are part of the making off, the preparation, it wasn't supposed to go public. Anyways, I want to apologize to all of you, I know that Lebanon is a conservative country and this is not the image that reflects our culture. I fully understand if you want to criticise this.
Now that I'm at the Olympic Games, these photos that I never saw before are being shared. It is sad. All I can ask to each of you who saw this, is to stop spreading it, it will really help me focusing on what is really important now: my trainings and race."

Ryan Sheckler
A star at 16, Sheckler was the only competitor to land every trick in street skateboarding at the 2003 X Games. That year, he won titles at the Vans Triple Crown, Gravity Games and the World Cup Championships.
Last year he skateboarded into stardom with his MTV reality show, The Life of Ryan.
This year, he is competing in skatepark street and superpark.
Dave Mirra
With 13 gold medals, Mirra is the most decorated athlete in X Games history and is as big in the BMX world as Tony Hawk is to skateboarding. This year, he will be busy with BMX freestyle big air and superpark and rally car racing, an event other action sports legends, such as Travis Pastrana, have participated in.
Action sports have always stood out for the personalities attracted. There are eccentrics, daredevils, free spirits, and in some cases, downright wackos. It takes a rare quality to fly down a ramp and let a skateboard, bicycle or motorcycle fling you a few feet in the air. After all, accidents happen. Starting Thursday, these athletes will come together for X Games 14 in Los Angeles. Here are some athletes to watch: Jake Brown
Most action sports athletes have a masochistic willingness to fall, again and again, in pursuit of the perfect trick. The possibility of physical harm is very real. Busted body parts often are a fact of life.
Brown knows. At last year's X Games, Brown was separated from his skateboard after launching himself above a quarter-pipe. He fell 46 feet — the equivalent of a four-story building — and crashed so hard his shoes blew off. He eventually walked away with relatively minor injuries.
Brown is back and will compete in the big air competition.
Kevin Robinson
Robinson, a BMX superstar, broke the world record last month by soaring more than 26 1/2 feet above the top of a 27-foot-high ramp.
The stunt was part of an event in New York's Central Park, where he needed more than an hour and six attempts to hit 26.7 feet. He tried one more time and added 5 inches to his record. Two years ago, he won the BMX freestyle best trick event on the halfpipe. He followed by taking gold in the freestyle big-air competition, the first ever at the X Games.
He will compete in freestyle vert and freestyle big air.
Shaun White
An Olympic gold medalist in snowboarding, White is starting to duplicate his success in skateboarding. From 2005-06, he tried to become the first skater to land the 1080 spin (three full rotations). The best-trick category was removed last year, so White focused on vert skating and won his first X Games gold medal. He is back to defend his title.
Ricky Carmichael
Three years ago, the Clearwater-born star became the first to win both heats in all 12 events of the 250cc class. Carmichael also is the first with 100 combined AMA motocross and supercross victories. Last year, he was in the first-ever moto x racing event and competed against Dade City's Tim Ferry and Chad Reed among others. This year, Carmichael is in moto step up.

Malphite Build Guide
Ahh, the underused but deadly Malphitewritten by Icree
Malphite Build
Table of Contents
|Masteries + Runes
|Summoner Abilities
|Skilling Order
Granite Shield This is one of my favorite passives ever ever. Seismic Shard Other than the first level. Use of this skill depends on who you are laneing against. Generally if there are ranged heroes that like to harass the poo out of you, you should get levels in this firstish. Where as if you're not getting too much harass, Ground Slam will do much better for the first few levels. Brutal Strikes Make sure to get one point in this before too long. The 'cleave' effect is very nice and the bonus on active is very promising; I'll explain more on that later. Ground Slam An ability that scales with armor on a tank!?
This will be your most commonly used skill, with a short cooldown and it's amazing scaling ability you will be killing everything everywhere.
Unstoppable Force Best initiation ever ever, enough said.
This is Malphite. A champion that no one likes to play and everyone is terrified when in a game with them because they think their now playing 4v5. However, so many people get tricked into playing him wrong that poor Malphite never scales properly and never becomes the killing machine that he can be. This guide (unlike my amumu guide) will go into the ONLY way i can see building Malphite with any success.
Malphite is a tank.
Itemizing is dictated by your enemies (i go into that later) but either way you should be able to take a lot of damage and you should have a good hp pool.
If you go for armor, go for a lot of it. Armor (meaning you're against AD heroes) means you will be going for ONLY armor/hp. You wont need any ap or attack damage because of your skills. With armor your ground slam (with brutal strikes on) will do ridiculous amounts of damage. and your Unstoppable Force + Brutal Strikes + Ground Slam combo will tear people up, giving your team the best opportunity possible to kill people. Hopefully you get a kill or 2 in there but don't be disappointed if you don't. Remember that you're a tank not a dpser, just because you do a huge amount of damage doesn't mean you're not the tank.
If you're against AP heavy heroes you will get a lot of resist and AP, either way your passive will be amazing because the 10% of hp it gives you will take a long time to get through w/ so much armor or resist. By the end of the game you should be shooting for 300 armor or about 100 resist + however much AP you can find and somewhere between 3 and 4k hp.
In conclusion, armor makes your ground slam a huge damage dealer and makes your passive hard to get through; resist/ap makes your ultimate and your seismic shard fantastic slow and stun and damage. Remember, brutal strike makes your ground slam do more damage, armor makes you do more damage, and ap makes you do more damage. So you can go any of these directions as long as you go tank heavy.
Masteries + Runes
I swap back and fourth with masteries all the time with Mal. Going for Offence or Defense and even Utility sometimes. The important thing is to go with your playstyle; if you have trouble early then Utility is for you, if you're aggressive or like to get into the thick of things you'll likely need some defense and if you play it cool and wait for the perfect opportunity i would say that offence will benefit you the most.
For runes, As much HP as you can
I've recently found that per lvl runes do very well so i would suggest them for all of these. They start to out perform flat runes at about lvl 6, so the loss of hp at the very start sucks but once you hit 6 they are doing more for you
Glyph: Magic Resist
Seal: HP
Mark: Never know what to do with these ones...
Quent: HP
Your early game will benefit greatly from the HP and you will see a fair difference even late game.
Summoner Abilities
Flash I don't care about the person looking over your shoulder saying that flash sux. Get it on Malphite. I can't tell you how many times it's saved me and/or gotten me away from a dangerous siduation. It also has gotten a ton of extra kills for me. Flash + Shard + Slam = ppl die. I know that your ult is very much like it but when your ult is down, or when you don't want to waste the cd, use flash.
Teleport is my second choice most of the time. It's good for map control and great for the first few levels where you want to bluepill and then get back fast.
Ghost always a good one but i do like flash a bit more for this particular character because you can get through trees and cliffs and the like, very useful for malphite. example: flash over a cliff so you can line up your ult properly.
I hate putting down full item builds. They create cookie cutter heroes that other players can recognize and learn to deal with and never adapt to what is going on. That being said, there are a few guidelines and certain items that i see as extremely important.
Ninja Tabi I go with these boots because of the armor/dodge of course, but Boots of Swiftness are also very good. Kind of basic items so explanation would be superfluous.
Randuin's Omen A very good choice because of how many different stats are on it. very good on Malphite. The passive slow + the active slow make chasing much easier, yes... you will be chasing with a tank. (especially when you have Frozen Mallet as well)
Guardian Angel This is good on any tank but especially good on this character. Armor for his Ground Slam and the ability to rez after dieing combo'd with his passive is kind of ridiculous.
The above are examples of what type of items I see a good Mal looking toward. Below are a couple that I really feel should be in any Malphite build.
Philosopher's Stone I like tanks that have mana to get this item first. It's one that i sell later on to get that last few gold for another item, or just to use the slot for something more important. Early game, however, this item is fan-freaking-tastic. ( [item_text=Shurlya's Reverie] is built from this and is very nice for mal, a good way to go if you don't have other item preferences.)
Frozen Mallet, [item=Rylai's Scepter] The HP on these combo'd with the passive on them is flawless. Most tanks should go this direction but Malphite's passive ability makes this golden. This choice will be dictated by your enemies, are you going to be in melee using ground slam or hanging back and using your ult + shard?
Other than the above suggestions, HP is extremely important, I recomend getting more hp than anything else because it beefs your passive very very well. I've said before (or later in this guide.. i don't remember) Armor and resist are entirely dependent of who you are against.
Important note: I don't care what people say, btw they say that Mal is a 'fighter tank' and is used to do lots of damage and sort of a little bit off tank, Mal is a TANK he gets huge amounts of armor/resist/hp and because of it he is almost unkillable. I use his Ult at 0 distance more often than not because the other team initiated and I'm the one that is supposed to make sure that I get focused, because I'm the tank.
Skilling Order
Unlike lots of different characters, the skill order is important to the way you play, not the way you build or how well you want to do.
The first skill to get is Seismic Shard There are several reasons for this, the first being that it is your only ranged move, so harassment is difficult without it. The second being that the speed increase and decrease can help you get the last couple hits for a kill or get away from the other team getting those last couple hits on you when you have to run.
Other than that first skill, you can leave Seismic Shard at level one and boost Ground Slam and Brutal Strikes quickly or you can do Ground Slam and Seismic Shards. If you want to be able to harass from afar (if you are against ranged characters, especially those that can stun/slow) then Seismic Shard needs to come sooner, if not and if you want to be up close and personal then definitely go the other direction. Brutal Strikes should always be 'secondary' to what you are doing, leave shard at lvl 1 then you will be lvling Ground Slam fast, need shard? go with shard/strikes and use a couple levels of slam for farming.
First things first, do not go mid; it doesn't work. After that you really want to be with a ranged hero or another harassing melee, but that isn't always your choice so you can just deal with what you have.
First item should be a mana regen item. Like i said earlier Philosopher's Stone is a very good item to start up. Don't get the health item first because your 'health' regens extremely fast with your passive.
Get your first item and some mana pots(very important). Harass with Seismic shard and get as many ground slams in as possible with the mana you have. Hopefully you will be slamming both heroes and creeps but really the important thing is to get last hits with it. By the time you run yourself all the way out of mana you should have gotten your enemies to use pots, Heal or have them at a pretty low health and generally scared to get into the thick of things. Try to have mana to use Unstoppable Force right when you hit 6. With some good co-ordination with your lane partner and some set up with the creeps (getting them toward your tower rather than up where you could dash into their tower's range) you should be able to either get a kill or make someone blue pill back to base. I suggest staying out in the lane as long as possible even if they aren't about and it's a 'good' time to get back to base. All the creep kills you can get.
Stay out in the field until you start fearing for your life, low hp and low mana with too much harassment, etc. Get back to base and finish your Philosopher's Stone as well as getting at least the little boots. Tele back to the lane so you don't miss much. These levels are very similar to the previous 6.
The moment you hit 11 (which you hopefully were able to time with pushing their creeps into their tower) retreat but do not go back to base, find someone to gank. Your ult should be back up by now and you should ping something then use ult, ground slam, and seismic shard all in one go if you have the mana. After that whether sucessful or not go back to base and get your next item or 2. It's hard to say whether you should start with Frozen Mallet, [item_text=Rylai's Scepter] or with a def item, if you're feeling squishy go for an hp item of your choice and if you find that you are doing fine on hp then go for an armor of whatever sort or the mallet\scepter if you feel like you have them on the run. Like i said earlier, i'm not going to give you a straight up item build b/c i don't want you to not think about what you're doing. This, btw, is where you will decide whether you will be going armor, resist, or ap. If your enemies are caster heavy you should move to resist and ap with a little hp. If they are melee heavy go with armor and hp, no ap needed. Again make sure to level your skills properly so as to have the best skills up as high as possible; vs AD champs get ground slam and vs AP champs get more seismic shard.
You will start to shine here. Having either your armor up or your resist/ap up and now having some kill ability. You should be looking at people to gank, you should have your boots and at least part of most of your items and you should have saved someones life about 3 times by now. Remember to get your [skill=brutal strikes] going before you ground slam because it gives you armor which gives ground slam more damage. Remember you're a tank. Gank whenever possible but make sure you stay with your group when their on the move. Don't push a lane solo if your teammates are pushing mid, some fighters can do that but you're a tank, be there for your team.
Knowing how to control the minions in your lane is very important. Push them toward your opponents tower when you want to bluepill or retreat or go gank. Pull them to your tower if you are getting harassed or if you will be getting some help from another player. Even holding them in the middle of the lane can be useful for things like keeping up harassment during the first levels.
Initiation is one of Malphites greatest strengths, don't squander it. Use your ult and flash when it's required and when it will be most helpful to the team. Using them to run away is a good use for them when you are in danger of death, using them to keep the enemy team committed when the rest of your team is going to come from all sides and kill everything is a good way to use them. Even getting the last hit on the carry that is running away from a team fight is a good use. Examples of bad usage: chasing down a single enemy, if you didn't get the slow with Seismic Shard then you shouldn't be chasing let alone using up your CD to do so. Yes your Unstoppable Force cd is not horrific but why waste it?

Computer Mogul Dell Gives $60-Million for Health Care in Texas
The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation announced $60-million in pledges Wednesday for improving health care in central Texas, including $50-million for a new medical school at the University of Texas, the Austin American-Statesman writes.
University officials expect to open what will be called the Dell Medical School in 2015 or '16. The additional $10-million will support community-based programs to improve access to and quality of health care in the region.
The gifts bring to $150-million the foundation's contribution to medical efforts in central Texas and to more than $100-million its donations to the Austin campus. Mr. Dell dropped out of the university in 1984 and began selling computers out of his apartment, a precursor to his founding of Dell, the world's third-largest maker of personal computers.

ZURICH (Nov. 4)
The deportation of Rumanian Jews to Transnistria, the Rumanian-administered part of the Ukraine, has been temporarily halted due to differences of opinion in the Rumanian cabinet on the entire Jewish issue, it was reported today in the Neue Zuericher Zeitung, a liberal Swiss newspaper.
The report states that some members of the Rumanian cabinet have expressed the fear that the present drastic anti-Jewish policy of Premier Antonescu will have a devastating effect upon Rumania's economy. They, therefore, advocate the retention of certain categories of Jews in Rumania, permitting them to continue their businesses unmolested. As a result of the insistent attitude taken by these ministers, the Rumanian cabinet decided to establish a commission for the purpose of investigating the effect of the anti-Jewish laws upon the economic life of the country, the report reveals.
Hungarian newspapers reaching here today from Budapest report that fifty thousand "Aryans" stormed the Rumanization Office in Bucharest trying to secure the flats of four thousand Jews who were evicted from their homes in the Rumanian capital and deported to Transnistria. At the same time the German radio announced today that the Rumanian Government has issued a decree banning the sale and circulation of all books written by Jewish authors. Bookshops and libraries throughout the country were ordered to display lists of the banned books and the public was informed that only certain libraries will be permitted to have them on their shelves, and no one will be able to read them without special permission.

Acknowledging the design of the Christmas jumper creates a shared experience of festive consumerism, allowing the jumper to supersede the material and enter the intangible and quasi-sanctified realm of celebration. This new hyperreality is a joyous state that plain knitwear is simply incapable of rendering.
As a parent of children who are fortunate to live in comfortable circumstances, I don't want to have to cancel Christmas or deprive them of the things they want. I don't want to make them feel guilty for having a better life than the many less fortunate children in the world. At the same time, I do want them to know that not everyone in the world enjoys the same level of comfort and security as they do.
In my view, acquisitiveness is best understood in psychological terms. Our mad materialism is partly a reaction to inner discontent. As human beings' it's normal for us to experience an underlying 'psychological discord', caused by the incessant chattering of our minds, which creates a disturbance inside us, and often triggers negative thoughts.
I'm 59, the eldest of four siblings, but have no partner and no children. A sense of inadequacy grows: what can I leave my nephews and nieces, and their children? I don't mean memories; I mean, what that is tangible and lasting, that I can equitably share among them? It's like feeling a phantom limb, a shadowy disconnect with future generations that I so ache to put right.
We are connected to this world in more ways than imaginable, in the ground and in the air; everything is made up of the basic building blocks of life, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Trees are one of these givers of life, and how humans and trees correspond to give each other life is one of the most fundamental, yet essential aspects of ecology that much of the world lets slip from their minds...
As part of Children in Need we are urging all families and communities to dedicate more time to listening and responding to what children naturally want and spend time playing together. This doesn't mean adults watching children play - we want everyone to experience the joy and personal fulfilment that comes from time spent playing and learning together.
Saudi Arabia gets a lot of stick from Muslims in general. Whether religious, social, or economic, one is never hard pressed to find criticisms from believers facing the Meccan direction. And although many criticisms have justified grounds, on the following issue, I would like to stand in Saudi's defence.

Do-it-yourself Bird Flu nursing tips
…A thoughtful Georgia doctor has made a study of the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which pretty much whisked across the country in a month, leaving half a million people dead.
…Ten percent of those who got Spanish flu died. The Bird Flu takes down 50%.
…Gratton Woodson, MD, a primary care doc at the Druid Oaks Health Center in Decatur, Georgia, told HA if the H5N1 Bird Flu hits in human-to-human form, there will be no point in waiting for outside help…because there will be no "outside."
…He bases his skeptical views on the government's handling of Katrina. "One area of the country and they knew it was coming," he notes in that "nuff said" kind of way.
…So, no government help.
…Now what? Hospitals? "We have one million hospital beds in this country," he says. "The HHS's Bird Flu plan says 10 million people would seek admission to the hospital in the 10 months to a year the Flu was spreading."
…The ability of hospitals to deal with this is called "surge capacity." HA remembers the feds found there was none when they were expecting a WMD attack.
…Sixty to 70% of health care workers may get it, anyway.
….Bum-up. This is starting to sound kinda bad.
….Woodson says our best hope is to care for people at home. Best hope, only hope, way it's going to be if this thing mutates.
…In his book, The Bird Flu Preparedness Planner (see right), Woodson says households, families or even neighborhood block associations should be organized to deal with the sick at home.
…Dehydration is the big killer (40% of Bird Flu sufferers get diarrhea). He recommends laying in a large stock of water, salt, and sugar to make dehydrating fluids to spoon into the mouths of the sick.
…A quart of water mixed with a teaspoon of salt and 2-4 tablespoons of sugar for adults. A slightly different mixture works better for children.
…"Anyone who's sick is going to be scared," Woodson notes. For this and muscle aches, he recommends stocking up on Valium.
…A pneumonia shot might also be indicated. The normal flu shots many had do squat against the Birdie Bug. "Forget a Bird Flu vaccine," Woodson adds.
…In his book he outlines other prescription drugs you might want to get for pain, nausea, and fever. A sort of bounceback after-infection is also common. For this, antibiotics should be on hand. Over-the-counter stuff like Tylenol, Benadryl and cough medicine might also be stockpiled.
….How about the so-called anti-virals, such as Tamiflu? "Every doctor I know has some," Woodson says. Getting a prescription for yourself might be tricky. Same for hydrocodone, which Woodson recommends for wracked muscles.
…So who is taking care of whom? Two in five people will get sick, and half the people will show signs of having had a light case or fought it off. One in five will not get it at all. The latter two groups will take care of the others.
…Woodson says this may need to go beyond family. You may need to suck up to the neighbors now. "People nearby," he says.
…."If Mom is taking care of Dad, and she gets it, she needs to know the neighbor will take care of her, Dad, the kids and feed the dog."
…He hasn't met HA's neighbors.
…Oh, never mind. HA is just being a bird brain.

See what I mean? See if you can type this in.
I can never get those type-ins to work, but this outlines how unprepared even the ADMIN thinks it is.

For a huge, well-regarded site of almost limitless and apparently high quality information on the Birdie Bug, go to the link for "Least BS-ridden Bird Flu site ever." All the top scientists are spilling, tho some anonymously.

Thank you so much for being another one of the very few sources that admits that this thing could be a lot worse than the official gov't reports are saying.
The advice seems very practical.
Where the "XXXXX" is the link for "Least BS-ridden Bird Flu site ever." Instead of directing people to something GIVE THE LINK! Just in case you haven't noticed, it doesn't show up anywhere on the page and there are no instructions about where to find it!

LOS ANGELES (CNS) – A firefighter was hospitalized with minor injuries today after getting hurt battling an early-morning fire in the Jefferson Park section of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Cody Weireter said it appeared no one was present in the one-story single family structure in the 1500 block of West 37th Street when the fire took hold. The fire was reported soon after 5 a.m. and knocked down by 51 firefighters in 37 minutes, he said.
At one point, there was a partial collapse of the roof on the front side of the structure, he said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The fire department did not immediately release details on the firefighter's injuries.

Issue 70 (4 – 17 February 2014)
Food distributions
In the reporting period, UNRWA delivered and distributed 2,144 food parcels to Palestine refugees (PR) in Yarmouk, facilitated by authorities on the ground: 810 food parcels on 4 February, 645 on 5 February, 500 on 6 February and 189 on 7 February. A further 280 were distributed on 19 February, for a total of 6,808 food parcels distributed to PR families since 18 January, when UNRWA first gained access to the area. Access was suspended from 8 February due to hostilities in the area and ongoing negotiations between the different actors.
On 4 February, 10,000 polio vaccines were transferred to Yarmouk via the Palestine Red Crescent Society, and vaccination of children in the camp is now underway.
UNRWA is working with the authorities to try to reach as many people as possible and continues to call on all parties to take immediate steps to bring about an environment that allows secure, substantial and permanent humanitarian access in Yarmouk and elsewhere. The limited access so far has suggested that most civilians remaining in Yarmouk have very great and desperate humanitarian needs.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has prepared a shipment of medical supplies to address the urgent health needs in Yarmouk, including medication for chronic diseases, first aid supplies, antibiotics, surgical kits, reproductive health kits and medication. UNRWA appeals to all sides to allow these materials to be delivered into Yarmouk.
See http://www.unrwa.org/crisis-in-yarmouk
A reported but unconfirmed 8 PR were killed in the last two weeks as a result of the conflict. UNRWA estimates over 50 per cent of registered PR are displaced in Syria or in neighbouring countries.
Approximately 270,000 PR are displaced in Syria: over 200,000 in Damascus, around 6,600 in Aleppo, 4,500 in Latakia, 3,050 in Hama, 6,450 in Homs and 13,100 in Dera'a. In Jordan, 11,105 PR from Syria (PRS) have registered with UNRWA, as have 51,800 in Lebanon. Reports cite 6,000 PRS in Egypt, 1,100 in Libya, 1,000 in Gaza and numbers in Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
UNRWA is sheltering 7,965 displaced PR and Syrians in 18 Agency facilities in Syria, showing little change (-1) from the previous report. Of these, 84 per cent (6,691) are PR (see table 1). A further 3,864 PR are being sheltered in 16 non-UNRWA facilities in Damascus, Aleppo and Latakia, a slight increase (+12) from the previous report.
Over 46,400 PR children are enrolled with UNRWA. They attend 42 regular UNRWA schools and 37 government schools the Ministry of Education (MoE) agreed UNRWA can use in the afternoon where Agency schools are damaged or are serving as shelters. UNRWA is undertaking essential maintenance works in these and UNRWA schools.
Forty-two of 118 UNRWA schools are operational, while 68 are closed due to damage or insecurity and 8 because they are operating as temporary collective shelters for PR and displaced Syrians. Eight are operating both as schools and temporary collective shelters. Over 1,900 UNRWA teachers are working, as are 30 psychosocial counsellors. Self-learning materials are being prepared in coordination with MoE.
Over 5,016 ninth-grade students have joined remedial classes since 15 January 2014. The classes, funded by UNICEF, are meant to fill learning gaps caused by the conflict and are due to continue until 15 March 2014.
Engaging Youth
Youth development, community support: 1,125 PR students are receiving psychosocial support, first-aid training, life skills and extracurricular activities in Damascus, with preparations under way to extend this further.
Vocational and continuing education: 1,376 PR students are undertaking a wide range of short-term vocational education courses in Aleppo, Damascus, Hama, Homs and Latakia, including accountancy, electronics, hair and beauty, cooking, graphic design, human resources and nursing, and 1,939 PR are undertaking courses in English, French, computer skills, literacy and numeracy in Damascus, Hama, Homs and Latakia. Preparations are under way to extend these further.
Business development: 34 young PR in Damascus are undertaking activities including start-up training and follow-up, with preparations ongoing to extend this to Homs. In Damascus, Dera'a, Homs and Latakia, 444 young PR are also receiving career guidance.
Health centres and points: 6 health centres are operational in Damascus, and 1 each in Homs, Hama, Latakia, Neirab and Aleppo. Eight health points are operational in Damascus, and one in Aleppo.
Medical supplies and hospitalization: Drug supplies were distributed to the north, south and Damascus areas, sufficient to last until the end of May 2014. Drug supplies have been distributed to health centres and points in Damascus. UNRWA is reimbursing non-contracted hospital bills, granting PR in Syria access to health facilities across the country.
Infectious diseases: A fourth round of vaccination campaign for polio (0-5 years) and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) (1-15 years) finished on 6 February, with a total 14,386 PR children vaccinated.
An increase in the prevalence of psychosocial trauma, stress/anxiety disorders is reported.
Emergency Relief
Cash assistance: The third round distribution is almost complete, with 84,287 PR families in Damascus referred to outlets to receive emergency cash assistance; 66,605 families have received so far. Cash distributions were planned for January and February for over 28,000 second- and third-round absentees in Damascus, over 13,000 third-round absentees in the north, nearly 12,000 in southern Syria and 142 displaced families from Yarmouk.
Food and NFI distributions: 6 distribution centres are operational in Damascus. NFIs distributed in the period included: over 140,000 portions of canned food and over 31,000 portions of other food staples, over 8,900 food baskets, over 5,200 hygiene materials for women, over 1,000 mattresses, over 1,700 diapers and baby kits and over 1,400 hygiene kits.
Work is continuing with Iraqi PR in Syria, including regular counselling and visits in cooperation with UNHCR and local partners.
Water, sanitation and hygiene
Sanitation: UNRWA is continuing to provide regular sanitation services to all PR camps and UNRWA facilities. Garbage collection and removal is being conducted on a regular basis for all PR camps and temporary collective centres, with additional sanitation labourers employed for this. Regular maintenance of 200 UNRWA facilities and temporary collective shelters is being undertaken, as are security upgrades of facilities and upgrading of sewerage systems in six camps.
Water: Work is being conducted on the well in Neirab. Water-supply pipes are being provided to temporary collective shelters. Safe drinking water is being provided to temporary collective shelters, camps and gatherings. Hot-water systems for showers and bathrooms are being installed in temporary collective shelters in the Damascus area.
Hygiene: Chlorine tablets and other hygiene equipment is being provided for camps and temporary collective shelters. Winterization: Activities for temporary shelters are in progress.
A 'Day of Happiness' activity was conducted in Dera'a from 21 to 22 January 2014, offering psychosocial support for PR children who have been affected by the conflict. A seminar was held to raise awareness of different types of violence against people with disabilities and ways to address it, as was an open day to support people with disabilities. A training workshop was conducted for lawyers, social workers and case managers on international human rights, Syrian laws and current problems being faced in Syria.
The programme financed 554 microfinance loans in December 2013 – 138 in Tartous, 160 in Latakia, 121 in Sweyda and 135 in Damascus – valued at SYP 21.01 million (US$ 146,208). This brings the total outreach during 2013 to 3,392 loans worth SYP 132.02 million (US$ 918,722), 45 per cent of which were financed in the fourth quarter; the increase in outreach was largely driven by recently opened branch offices in Tartous, Latakia and Sweyda. The programme is planning to build the monthly loan disbursements to around 1,350 per month by April 2014, valued at around US$ 409,000. The portfolio at risk remains very low at just 0.24 per cent, the lowest of any field.
The programme wrote off 6,594 loans with bad debt in 2013, of which 22 per cent were closed and 29 per cent of the value of the debts collected. During 2013, women accounted for 36 per cent of clients, but due to the situation in Yarmouk, outreach there fell to just 4 per cent. In Latakia, 2.4 per cent of loans went to PR; less than 1 per cent went to PR in both Tartous and Sweyda; 7 per cent went to PR in Yarmouk; and 4 per cent went to PR in Saida Zeynab areas.

51,800 PRS registered with UNRWA in Lebanon
In Lebanon, 31 per cent of PRS are in Saida, 18 per cent in Tyre, 18 per cent in central Lebanon, 17 per cent in Bekaa and 16 per cent in northern Lebanon. Over half – 51 per cent - live in UNRWA camps, and the rest live in private rented accommodation or informal gatherings.
Education: 7,400 PRS children are attending UNRWA schools: 89 per cent attend special classes for PRS and 11 per cent are integrated in regular UNRWA classes for PR in Lebanon. UNRWA continues to encourage parents to enrol their children. Additional classrooms have been constructed in two camps, more than 400 additional staff have been recruited and furniture and IT equipment is being distributed to all 19 PRS school centres. A plan for psychosocial and recreational activities in the academic year and summer vacation is being prepared.
Health: UNRWA covers the cost of primary health and secondary care services for PRS. including medical consultations and free medications. through its 27 health centres located throughout the country. UNRWA contributes towards tertiary hospitalization for emergency and life-threatening conditions, and covers full emergency-room services at Palestine Red Crescent Society hospitals. UNRWA has purchased vital medicines for acute and chronic conditions and recruited additional staff to support primary health care throughout Lebanon. PRS suffering from critical health conditions are further supported through the CARE programme, which provides additional support to cover medical bills.
Relief: Winterization programme is being implemented with partners to provide additional support to PRS families during the cold winter months. Basic winterization assistance was distributed to over 14,126 families (94 per cent of recorded PRS families) from 5 December, comprising cash for adult and children's clothing and one month's fuel allowance. Most assistance was distributed by crediting ATM cards issued to PRS in autumn 2013, except for separated or unaccompanied minors supported directly through visits and payments.
Bedding kits were distributed in the Bekaa area to 1,720 families in December, and in January, bedding kits were distributed to 50 families living above 500 metres in Aley and to 69 families living above 500 metres in Nabatiyeh.
Distribution of bedding kits to PRS
Regular distributions for housing and food assistance took place in December for 14,039 PRS families across Lebanon.
A joint UNRWA–WFP needs assessment has been completed, and the final report will be shared with donors soon.
Shelter: During January and February UNRWA completed shelter rehabilitation works in collective centres for PRS in Ein El Hilweh and Burj Shemali camps, benefiting 15 families. Additional shelter rehabilitation has been approved for four families in Ein El Hilweh. As over 50 per cent of PRS reside in camps, a strain has been placed on the already fragile environmental-health infrastructure, including existing water and sewerage infrastructure and management. In response, UNRWA is upgrading the existing infrastructure systems in the camps through the provision of additional water sources and carrying out necessary repairs and rehabilitation to sewerage and drainage systems. Some work is being done through conditional cash subsidies to beneficiaries to carry out simple maintenance works as part of the Agency's self-help approach, with technical support and supervision from UNRWA. To address the considerable increase in solid-waste needs, UNRWA has upgraded its operational management capacity through hiring additional sanitation staff, providing additional solid waste equipment and refurbishing trucks and compactors to ensure operations continue uninterrupted.
Protection: UNRWA continues to monitor and offer advice and assistance to PRS crossing at the border and advocate with the Lebanese government for equal treatment of all refugees at the border, as since August 2013, a number of refugees from Syria, including PRS, have been denied entry into Lebanon. UNRWA, in coordination with other UN agencies in Lebanon, is currently seeking clarification from the Lebanese General Security on the visa options available to PRS when they have been in Lebanon for one year, due to the increasing number of PRS whose visas have expired. Currently, PRS who have exceeded a one-year stay in Lebanon must pay US$ 200 to leave. Legal status in Lebanon is critical for protection vis-à-vis the Lebanese authorities, as it ensures PRS can pass through checkpoints, including to and from camps and complete civil registration processes. UNRWA continues to provide legal advice and assistance to PRS who do not possess a valid Lebanese visa.
An outreach project has been established in Bekaa to encourage PRS to register with UNRWA, and the protection team continues to conduct household assessments for unaccompanied and separated PRS minors to ensure they benefit from cash assistance; 178 have been identified so far. Vulnerable cases continue to be referred internally and to partner organizations providing services.
SGBV: The number of PRS SGBV victims detected is low, but UNRWA has found the incidence of sexual violence is higher among the PRS population than Lebanese PR, indicating this is exacerbated by conflict and displacement. Six community-based support groups for PRS and PRL women, facilitated by a specialist, have been established in three refugee camps in the Tyre area. They are a forum to represent women's interests, help identify and protect those most vulnerable and serve as a platform for community outreach where UNRWA can disseminate protection messages and inform PRS of services available.
Funding: Lebanon's appeal for 2014 is US$ 90.4 million.
11,105 PRS are recorded with UNRWA in Jordan
PRS receive relief, education, health and protection services. An average 633 new PRS were registered per month in 2013, although there is a time lag of several months between the date of entry and first interview with UNRWA. A large number live in abject poverty, and their precarious legal status creates difficulties for civil processes, access to services and employment. In 2013, 68 per cent were registered PR 52 per cent were female and 48 per cent under the age of 18. Women and children comprised 75 per cent of PRS.
Education: Admission to the 173 UNRWA schools across Jordan is open to PRS and Syrian IDP children residing in ten official and three unofficial PR camps. UNRWA schools re-opened for the new semester on 9 February and moved to a five-day from a six-day school week. UNRWA schools have enrolled 2,003 PRS and Syrian children, with 169 additional children, 52 PRS and 117 Syrians, enrolling for this semester. Emergency funding to support the schooling of new Syrian children and to hire extra teachers needed to form new classes has not yet been secured. UNRWA is planning a review of the education in emergencies programme and targeted learning, psychosocial and recreational support for children from Syria in and out of UNRWA schools.
Relief: UNRWA transitioned to a 'cash only' approach and shifted to ATM cash transfers for cash, food and NFI assistance, replacing physical distributions, which ended in September 2013. Winterization support could not be provided due to lack of funding, but emergency grants were provided to 13 PRS families in January who faced severe shocks.
Health: UNRWA continues to provide free primary, emergency and life-saving health care to PRS in all 24 UNRWA clinics across Jordan, and referrals with full coverage to government hospitals. PRS made 1,366 visits for primary care in UNRWA clinics and the JHAS clinic in Cyber City in January; 112 PRS were admitted to hospital for life-saving care. Funding for this has been advanced, as funding has not yet been received.
Protection: Jordan revealed its policy of non-admission of Palestinians fleeing Syria in January 2013, which continues to compound the extreme vulnerability of those who seek safety in Jordan or have already entered the country. UNRWA is concerned about incidents of denied entry and forcible return of humanitarian cases. The protection of PRS remains a priority and has been mainstreamed in all aspects of the UNRWA response.
With funding from UK Aid, ECHO and Kuwait, UNRWA has rolled out a new case-management system to support referrals and interventions. Since its launch in September 2013, 262 cases have been recorded and managed. A single case can involve multiple protection issues and needs, and UNRWA also monitors PRS who fit certain vulnerability profiles, such as unaccompanied or separated minors. Referrals were made in 90 per cent of cases - internally for relief, health or education services, and externally for psychosocial support, disability support and legal services. Gender-based violence (GBV) and child protection cases especially were referred to specialized NGOs through established inter-agency referral pathways. Ongoing training for frontline staff and deployment of specialized protection staff are required to support the protection prorgamme to expand and institutionalize the protection capacity.
Capacity: A multi-sector needs assessment and qualitative research on the protection needs of PRS are being completed to identify critical needs, and a targeting framework is being developed.
Funding: The UNRWA 2014 appeal for PRS in Jordan, of US$ 14.5 million, is 15 per cent funded so far. However, education and health needs are not funded yet, and cash distributions are funded only until March 2014.
Damascus / Rif Damascus:
East: Varying intermittent and sporadic clashes and shelling continued in Jobar and the adjacent area of Eastern Ghouta, a slight increase from the previous week. Qaboun and Barzeh remained relatively calm, as in the previous report, continuing a reduction in hostilities from at least over the last 8 months. However, all UNRWA facilities remain closed in the areas due to hostilities and/or access restrictions, except for two schools housing IDPs in Qaboun.
South: Sporadic clashes and shelling continued in areas surrounding Yarmouk and inside the area early in the period, resulting in the suspension of food distributions. The area remained relatively calm for the remainder of the period, and it is reported a number of armed opposition groups (AOGs) withdrew from the area following negotiations. Sporadic clashes and shelling were reported in areas surrounding but not within Qabr Essit and Sbeineh, remaining at the levels of the previous report. Ramadan remained relatively calm, as in previous weeks. Mostly sporadic shelling continued throughout in Douma, showing no change from previous weeks.
Yarmouk and Sbeineh remain sealed off with access blocked by the security forces, except for limited food parcel deliveries from UNRWA allowed by the government into Yarmouk. Less than 30 per cent of Yarmouk residents remain, and less than 5 per cent in Sbeineh, with armed opposition elements present in both, although some reportedly withdrew from Yarmouk in the period. An unconfirmed three PR were killed in Yarmouk as a result of gun shots and medical conditions, which is the same level as the last report. There are continuing unconfirmed social-media reports of PR dying due to malnutrition and lack of services.
Southwest: Intermittent hostilities continued in Darayya, reportedly including some airstrikes, but hostilities dropped significantly in Moadhamiyeh, which became calm and accessible. Khan Eshieh was relatively calm at the beginning of the period, followed by sporadic shelling in areas surrounding but not within the camp, intensifying at the end of the period with barrel bombs reported in surrounding areas. Three PR were reportedly killed near the camp as a result of hostilities. Hostilities remained at the same levels as previous weeks.
Aleppo: Intensive shelling reported early in the period, reportedly with rocket or mortar impacts near the UNRWA area office and next to an UNRWA school, both of which had to be temporarily closed. Hostilities continued at sporadic, intensive and intermittent levels for the remainder of the period, which is a slight increase on previous weeks. Ein El Tal: No direct contact was possible with anyone in the camp as in previous weeks. The camp presumably remains occupied by armed opposition groups and the number of PR in the camp presumably remains very low, with rumours that a small number of PR may have returned to the camp. Neirab camp: Relatively calm for all of the reporting period, with all facilities operational, representing a decrease from previous weeks.
Dera'a: Sporadic clashes were reported in the vicinity of the camp early in the period, followed by intermittent and then intensive hostilities, reportedly including airstrikes, heavy clashes and shelling. The camp remained relatively calm, although the electricity was off for nearly a week and two PR were reportedly killed as a result of the hostilities. This shows an increase from previous weeks. Mzerieb: Relatively calm, followed by sporadic shelling, including airstrikes in surrounding areas. A rocket impacted in the immediate vicinity of an UNRWA school, causing minor injuries to 3 staff and around 40 PR students, with installations temporarily closed as a result. Sporadic shelling in the vicinity of the village continued for the remainder of the period, representing an increase from previous weeks. Jillien remained calm for the reporting period, a reduction from previous weeks.
Homs: Intensive clashes and shelling early in the period reduced to intermittent and then sporadic, with UN operations ongoing and a reported airstrike at the end of the period. This remains at the levels of previous weeks. Homs camp remained mostly relatively calm, although vehicle access to the camp remains restricted. The security forces conducted a house-to-house search of the camp but without incident. Hama: The camp remained relatively calm, with all facilities operational, as in previous weeks. Latakia remained relatively calm, with all facilities operational, as in previous weeks.

Gulfstream's super midsize G280 business jet, flying under an experimental certificate, landed this morning at Geneva International Airport for its EBACE debut. The aircraft, N280GD, touched down on Runway 23 at 10 a.m. under low-hanging clouds, following a seven-hour, 47-minute flight from Dulles International Airport outside of Washington, D.C.
Gulfstream said the G280 is on track for full type certification by the U.S. FAA at mid-year and should enter service in the third quarter. The G280 flown to Geneva, S/N 2004, is the first production aircraft and comes with a completed cabin interior. The aircraft type made its first public debut last October at the NBAA conference in Las Vegas. There are three pre-production flight test aircraft.
The G280 was flown to Geneva by Brett Rundle, Gulfstream's mid-cabin chief pilot, and international demonstration pilot Chip Leonard. Butch Allen, chief production test pilot for mid-cabin, sat in the jump seat. They were accompanied by a flight attendant and four technicians from Gulfstream's Mid-Cabin Completions Center in Dallas, where the flight originated Friday. The crew completed the Dallas-to-Dulles leg in two hours and two minutes, flying with nine aboard. Gulfstream said it will apply for city-pair time records for the two legs of the journey to the National Aeronautic Association and Federation Aeronautique Internationale.
Rundle said the G280 took off from IAD at 39,600 pounds maximum takeoff weight and flew at an altitude of 43,000 feet with an average speed of Mach 0.80. The aircraft, which will be certified for a range of 3,600 nm, covered a ground distance of 3,682 nm, aided by a 20-knot tailwind. It landed with 1,800 pounds of fuel, enough to fly another 1.5 hours.
"The G280 is the newest entry into the super midsize category," Rundle told AIN. "It's got very impressive speed and range capability. Its short field performance is outstanding. The climb capability is very impressive and the long-range speed at Mach .80–3,600 nm range–is best in class. I think it's significant in the midsize market segment to bring this airplane here and showcase what it can do."
The aircraft, with a blue-and-silver streak paint scheme, will be displayed at the EBACE static display on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Monterey County is two hours away from San Francisco, not 20 minutes as Stottlemeyer states.
Monk graduated college in 1981. He met Trudy while in college. This is stated in the season 5 episode 6, "Mr. Monk and the Class Reunion." The whole reunion he kept saying he was referred to "as the guy with Trudy". However, in the video she makes for Monk, Trudy's states her pregnancy happens in 1982-1983. She says in the video it was years before she met Monk, but that would have been impossible.
Monk and Natalie constantly press Play and Pause on Monk's remote to watch Trudy's tape. But at the end of "Mr. Monk and the End - Part I," Natalie hooked up the video camera to the TV to watch the tape.
Trivia: When Monk checks the stove to see if it's off, Natalie comments that it would be horrible if they were downtown and forgot if the stove was turned off. Monk replies, "You know, that actually happened to me once!". This was a reference to the very first scene when the character made his premiere in "Mr. Monk and the Candidate." In which Monk is concerned that he left his stove on while at a crime scene.
(to Monk)
Trudy: You are more than the love of my life. You are my life. You are... my life.
(on the phone)
Disher: All right, I'll call you later. (hangs up)
Stottlemeyer: Who was that?
Disher: That was the Deputy Commissioner.
Stottlemeyer: Deputy Commissioner Patrick Watson?
Disher: Yeah, that's right.
Stottlemeyer: You said, "I love you."
Disher: I do... love him. I think he's doing a great job. Why? Why? You don't think he's...
Stottlemeyer: No, I think he's doing a fine job. I don't tell him that I love him.
Disher: Well, maybe you should. It's just common courtesy.
Stottlemeyer: It's not common courtesy.
Disher: Well, I think you're doing a great job. I love you.
Stottlemeyer: All right, Randy, I'm sorry I asked. When you're ready to tell me what's really going on, don't.
Judge Rickover: Are you gonna kill a Federal judge?
Monk: Tonight, I'm the judge.
Dr. Bell: It's time for Adrian Monk to sail into the Great Unknown.
Monk: I hate the Great Unknown.
Dr. Bell: How do you know? It's unknown.
Monk: If it's unknown, how do you know it's so great?
Dr. Bell: Good point. Maybe it's the Not-So-Great-Unknown, huh? But it's out there, and it's waiting for you.
Monk: What if she doesn't like me? I mean, a lot of people don't like me. I'm not crazy about me.
Monk: Yeah, this is her parallel parking. Yeah She's an excellent driver. She's never had a single parking ticket. Yeah, here we are. This is us having lunch. She eats out five times a week. She's a vegetarian, but she eats fish.
Stottlemeyer: You took all these pictures?
Monk: Yeah. Oh, here she is drinking coffee.
Stottlemeyer: Ohhh.
Monk: Yeah, it's a Kona blend. Sometimes she has the Colombian
Stottlemeyer: Monk, there's gotta be more than six hundred photos here.
Monk: Well, the rest are still being developed.
Stottlemeyer: But you've only known her for thee days.
Monk: I feel like I've known her forever. She feels the same way, she actually said that. Oh, yeah, these are her adopted parents.
Stottlemeyer: Oh.
Monk: Yeah, that's Andy and Beth. He's a little overweight. He's a retired ophthalmologist. This is her new boyfriend, Kyle. He's two years younger than she is. She doesn't know how she feels about that. And this is her telling me not to take so many pictures.
Stottlemeyer: Um-hmm.
Monk: This is her trying to take the camera away.
Stottlemeyer: Ah-hah.
Monk: Oh, and guess what else? You know the Internet? She's on it.
Stottlemeyer: Really, she made the cut, huh?
Monk: Uh-huh. Oh yeah, yeah. She has her own web site. It's called a blog. Really, I mean, that's what it's called. A blog.
Stottlemeyer: You and Sharona. I knew it. Well, I didn't actually know it. But now that I know it, I kinda knew it.
Molly: Well, I thought you were broke.
Monk: No, I'll be fine. I can live for 20 years if I don't eat or pay rent or pay Natalie.
Molly: You have a gift.
Monk: And a curse.
Molly: It's not a curse. It's a gift. Can't you see that? Maybe that's why I'm here. To remind you. What?
Monk: That's exactly what your mother used to say.
Monk: I have plans.
Natalie: Mm-hmm. What kind of plans?
Monk: With Molly. We're going to the movies.
Natalie: You're going to the movies?
Monk: Yeah.
Natalie: Adrian Monk is going to the movies?
Monk: Why are you crying? Is that so strange?
Natalie: That's not strange at all. That's why I'm crying. What are you gonna see?
Monk: I don't know. Whatever's in Theater Ten.
Natalie: Okay, all right. That's more like it. That's the Adrian Monk we know and love
Monk: Wait.
Natalie: What are you doing.
Monk: I'm checking the stove to make sure it's off.
Natalie: That's a good idea. You don't want to get all the way downtown and not be sure.
Monk: That acutally happened to me once.
Natalie: Really?
Monk: Yeah.

Anyone know about hermit crabs? I have four. Haven't seen one in awhile so I assumed he had burrowed into the sand to molt. Got curious tonight and dug through the sand looking for him and he's not there.
He couldn't have gotten out, and a dead crab would be hard to miss...I'm baffled by this mystery of mysteries!
