Kidd draws connections from the feminine to the divine to the erotic that a lesser writer wouldnt see, and might not have the guts to follow. Time
Its hard to put this book down for things like eating and sleeping. Elle
February 17, 1988, I opened my eyes and heard a procession of sounds: first the phone going off on the opposite side of the bed, rousing us at 5:04 a.m. to what could only be a calamity, then rain pummeling the roof of our old Victorian house, sluicing its sneaky way to the basement, and finally small puffs of air coming from Hugh's lower lip, each one perfectly timed, like a metronome.
Twenty years of this puffing. I'd heard it when he wasn't even asleep, when he sat in his leather wing chair after dinner, reading through the column of psychiatric journals rising from the floor, and it would seem like the cadence against which my entire life was set.
The phone rang again, and I lay there, waiting for Hugh to pick up, certain it was one of his patients, probably the paranoid schizophrenic who'd phoned last night convinced the CIA had him cornered in a federal building in downtown Atlanta.
A third ring, and Hugh fumbled for the receiver. "Yes, hello," he said, and his voice came out coarse, a hangover from sleep.
I rolled away from him then and stared across the room at the faint, watery light on the window, remembering that today was Ash Wednesday, feeling the inevitable rush of guilt.
My father had died on Ash Wednesday when I was nine years old, and in a convoluted way, a way that made no sense to anyone but me, it had been at least partially my fault.
There had been a fire on his boat, a fuel-tank explosion, they'd said. Pieces of the boat had washed up weeks later, including a portion of the stern with Jes-Sea printed on it. He'd named the boat for me, not for my brother, Mike, or even for my mother, whom he'd adored, but for me, Jessie.
I closed my eyes and saw oily flames and roaring orange light. An article in the Charleston newspaper had referred to the explosion as suspicious, and there had been some kind of investigation, though nothing had ever come of it—things Mike and I'd discovered only because we'd sneaked the clipping from Mother's dresser drawer, a strange, secret place filled with fractured rosaries, discarded saint medals, holy cards, and a small statue of Jesus missing his left arm. She had not imagined we would venture into all that broken-down holiness.
I went into that terrible sanctum almost every day for over a year and read the article obsessively, that one particular line: "Police speculate that a spark from his pipe may have ignited a leak in the fuel line."
I'd given him the pipe for Father's Day. Up until then he had never even smoked.
I still could not think of him apart from the word "suspicious," apart from this day, how he'd become ash the very day people everywhere—me, Mike, and my mother—got our foreheads smudged with it at church. Yet another irony in a whole black ensemble of them.
"Yes, of course I remember you," I heard Hugh say into the phone, yanking me back to the call, the bleary morning. He said, "Yes, we're all fine here. And how are things there?"
This didn't sound like a patient. And it wasn't our daughter, Dee, I was sure of that. I could tell by the formality in his voice. I wondered if it was one of Hugh's colleagues. Or a resident at the hospital. They called sometimes to consult about a case, though generally not at five in the morning.
I slipped out from the covers and moved with bare feet to the window across the room, wanting to see how likely it was that rain would flood the basement again and wash out the pilot light on the hot-water heater. I stared out at the cold, granular deluge, the bluish fog, the street already swollen with water, and I shivered, wishing the house were easier to warm.
I'd nearly driven Hugh crazy to buy this big, impractical house, and even though we'd been in it seven years now, I still refused to criticize it. I loved the sixteen-foot ceilings and stained-glass transoms. And the turret—God, I loved the turret. How many houses had one of those? You had to climb the spiral stairs inside it to get to my art studio, a transformed third-floor attic space with a sharply slanted ceiling and a skylight—so remote and enchanting that Dee had dubbed it the "Rapunzel tower." She was always teasing me about it. "Hey, Mom, when are you gonna let your hair down?"
That was Dee being playful, being Dee, but we both knew what she meant—that I'd become too stuffy and self-protected. Too conventional. This past Christmas, while she was home, I'd posted a Gary Larson cartoon on the refrigerator with a magnet that proclaimed me world's greatest mom. In it, two cows stood in their idyllic pasture. One announced to the other, "I don't care what they say, I'm not content." I'd meant it as a little joke, for Dee.
I remembered now how Hugh had laughed at it. Hugh, who read people as if they were human Rorschachs, yet he'd seen nothing suggestive in it. It was Dee who'd stood before it an inordinate amount of time, then given me a funny look. She hadn't laughed at all.
To be honest, I had been restless. It had started back in the fall—this feeling of time passing, of being postponed, pent up, not wanting to go up to my studio. The sensation would rise suddenly like freight from the ocean floor—the unexpected discontent of cows in their pasture. The constant chewing of all that cud.
With winter the feeling had deepened. I would see a neighbor running along the sidewalk in front of the house, training, I imagined, for a climb up Kilimanjaro. Or a friend at my book club giving a blow-by-blow of her bungee jump from a bridge in Australia. Or—and this was the worst of all—a TV show about some intrepid woman traveling alone in the blueness of Greece, and I'd be overcome by the little river of sparks that seemed to run beneath all that, the blood/sap/wine, aliveness, whatever it was. It had made me feel bereft over the immensity of the world, the extraordinary things people did with their lives—though, really, I didn't want to do any of those particular things. I didn't know then what I wanted, but the ache for it was palpable.
I felt it that morning standing beside the window, the quick, furtive way it insinuated itself, and I had no idea what to say to myself about it. Hugh seemed to think my little collapse of spirit, or whatever it was I was having, was about Dee's being away at college, the clichéd empty nest and all that.
Last fall, after we'd gotten her settled at Vanderbilt, Hugh and I'd rushed home so he could play in the Waverly Harris Cancer Classic, a tennis tournament he'd been worked up about all summer. He'd gone out in the Georgia heat for three months and practiced twice a week with a fancy Prince graphite racket. Then I'd ended up crying all the way home from Nashville. I kept picturing Dee standing in front of her dorm waving good-bye as we pulled away. She touched her eye, her chest, then pointed at us—a thing she'd done since she was a little girl. Eye. Heart. You. It did me in. When we got home, despite my protests, Hugh called his doubles partner, Scott, to take his place in the tournament, and stayed home and watched a movie with me. An Officer and a Gentleman. He pretended very hard to like it.
The deep sadness I felt in the car that day had lingered for a couple of weeks, but it had finally lifted. I did miss Dee —of course I did—but I couldn't believe that was the real heart of the matter.
Lately Hugh had pushed me to see Dr. Ilg, one of the psychiatrists in his practice. I'd refused on the grounds that she had a parrot in her office.
I knew that would drive him crazy. This wasn't the real reason, of course—I have nothing against people's having parrots, except that they keep them in little cages. But I used it as a way of letting him know I wasn't taking the suggestion seriously. It was one of the rare times I didn't acquiesce to him.
"So she's got a parrot, so what?" he'd said. "You'd like her." Probably I would, but I couldn't quite bring myself to go that far—all that paddling around in the alphabet soup of one's childhood, scooping up letters, hoping to arrange them into enlightening sentences that would explain why things had turned out the way they had. It evoked a certain mutiny in me.
I did occasionally, though, play out imaginary sessions with Dr. Ilg in my head. I would tell her about my father, and, grunting, she would write it down on a little pad—which is all she ever seemed to do. I pictured her bird as a dazzling white cockatoo perched on the back of her chair, belting out all sorts of flagrant opinions, repeating itself like a Greek chorus: "You blame yourself, you blame yourself, you blame yourself."
Not long ago—I don't know what possessed me to do it—I'd told Hugh about these make-believe sessions with Dr. Ilg, even about the bird, and he'd smiled. "Maybe you should just see the bird," he said. "Your Dr. Ilg sounds like an idiot."
Now, across the room, Hugh was listening to the person on the phone, muttering, "Uh-huh, uh-huh." His face had clamped down into what Dee called "the Big Frown," that pinched expression of grave and intense listening in which you could almost see the various pistons in his brain—Freud, Jung, Adler, Horney, Winnicott—bobbing up and down.
Wind lapped over the roof, and I heard the house begin to sing—as it routinely did—with an operatic voice that was very Beverly "Shrill," as we liked to say. There were also doors that refused to close, ancient toilets that would suddenly decline to flush ("The toilets have gone anal-retentive again!" Dee would shout), and I had to keep constant vigilance to prevent Hugh from exterminating the flying squirrels that lived in the fireplace in his study. If we ever got a divorce, he loved to joke, it would be about squirrels.
But I loved all of this; I truly did. It was only the basement floods and the winter drafts that I hated. And now, with Dee in her first year at Vanderbilt, the emptiness—I hated that.
Hugh was hunched on his side of the bed, his elbows balanced on his knees and the top two knobs of his spine visible through his pajamas. He said, "You realize this is a serious situation, don't you? She needs to see someone—I mean, an actual psychiatrist."
I felt sure then it was a resident at the hospital, though it did seem Hugh was talking down to him, and that was not like Hugh.
Through the window the neighborhood looked drowned, as if the houses—some as big as arks—might lift off their foundations and float down the street. I hated the thought of slogging out into this mess, but of course I would. I would drive to Sacred Heart of Mary over on Peachtree and get my forehead swiped with ashes. When Dee was small, she'd mistakenly called the church the " Scared Heart of Mary." The two of us still referred to it that way sometimes, and it occurred to me now how apt the name really was. I mean, if Mary was still around, like so many people thought, including my insatiably Catholic mother, maybe her heart was scared. Maybe it was because she was on such a high and impossible pedestal—Consummate Mother, Good Wife, All-Around Paragon of Perfect Womanhood. She was probably up there peering over the side, wishing for a ladder, a parachute, something to get her down from there.
I hadn't missed going to church on Ash Wednesday since my father had died—not once. Not even when Dee was a baby and I had to take her with me, stuffing her into a thick papoose of blankets, armored with pacifiers and bottles of pumped breast milk. I wondered why I'd kept subjecting myself to it—year after year at the Scared Heart of Mary. The priest with his dreary incantation: "Remember you are dust, to dust you shall return." The blotch of ash on my forehead.
I only knew I had carried my father this way my whole life.
Hugh was standing now. He said, "Do you want me to tell her?" He looked at me, and I felt the gathering of dread. I imagined a bright wave of water coming down the street, rounding the corner where old Mrs. Vandiver had erected a gazebo too close to her driveway; the wave, not mountainous like a tsunami but a shimmering hillside sweeping toward me, carrying off the ridiculous gazebo, mailboxes, doghouses, utility poles, azalea bushes. A clean, ruinous sweep.
"It's for you," Hugh said. I didn't move at first, and he called my name. "Jessie. The call—it's for you."
He held the receiver out to me, sitting there with his thick hair sticking up on the back of his head like a child's, looking grave and uneasy, and the window copious with water, a trillion pewter droplets coming down on the roof.
"Book clubs, start your engines. Sue Monk Kidd's first novel, The Secret Life of Bees, has sold 3 million copies since 2002.…Those are big shoes to fill, but Kidd acquits herself admirably with The Mermaid Chair….Both novels drip with vivid images of hot Southern afternoons, droning insects, swooping birds and oases in which nature is the fabric of life. It is a tapestry strengthened by bonds between women that bridge pain and loss. Most important, both have passages of beautiful writing… Kidd wrote two well-received memoirs before turning to fiction. But perhaps the answer ultimately given by The Mermaid Chair is that a storyteller also can change course and come of age in the middle of her life."—USA Today
"Her writing is so smart and sharp, she gives new life to old midlife crises, and she draws connections from the feminine to the divine to the erotic that a lesser writer wouldn't see, and might not have the guts to follow."—Time
"(A) rewarding second novel by the author of the bestselling Secret Life of Bees. Writing from the perspective of conflicted, discontented Jessie, Kidd achieves a bold intensity and complexity that wasn't possible in The Secret Life of Bees, narrated by teenage Lily. Jessie's efforts to cope with marital stagnation; Whit's crisisof faith; and Nelle's tormented reckoning with the past will resonate with many readers. This emotionally rich novel, full of sultry, magical descriptions of life in the South, is sure to be another hit for Kidd." —Publisher's Weekly, starred review
"Compelling reading.... The writing is soulful in its probing of the human heart and family secrets."—The San Francisco Chronicle
"Secrets are told. Mysteries are revealed. In one rich and satisfying gush…, Jessie reevaluates just about every aspect of her life: her husband, her lover, her mother, her artwork, the death of her father decades ago, and most of all herself... Rewarding."—Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
"If [The Secret Life of] Bees was a girl's coming-of-age novel, [The Mermaid] Chair is a woman's coming-of-middle-age novel….The prose thrilled me. Kidd can really turn a phrase and her descriptions of nature's archetypal elements are magnificent."—The Philadelphia Inquirer
"A woman at life's crossroads, a parent's tragic death and a strong, if eccentric circle of women. Stir in a forbidden love, and the pages all but turn themselves."—Parade
"Kidd grabs you from the first sentence of The Mermaid's Chair. It is a satisfying tale that balances Southern gothic…[with] wish-fulfillment romance and a down-to-earth dissection of family problems. Sue Monk Kidd is a high-end practitioner of Ya-Ya-ism, with a lucid prose style and a fine sense of story. ... A good read."—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Richly rewarding."—Chicago Tribune
"Kidd's second offering is just as gracefully written as her first and possesses an equally compelling story. It should appeal to the many readers who made her first novel a hit with book clubs."—Booklist"Fans of Sue Monk Kidd's best-selling debut novel, The Secret Life of Bees, will be equally enamored with her beguiling sophomore effort....Reconciling the spiritual with the human, The Mermaid Chair is a captivating metaphorical and sensual journey into one woman's soul. Weaving enduring folklore about the seductive and transformative power of mermaids into a modern-day tale of rebirth, the novel shows us that sometimes we need to swim out to sea for the currents to carry us back home."—Book Page
"It's hard to put this book down for little things like sleeping and eating."—Elle
"A well-told tale about marriage, mystery – and mermaids....Kidd writes at a deeper emotional level than she did in the fabulously popular Bees. Her characters are more tormented, more complex, in their processes of coming unwound and then healing….Yet it is also a quite powerful feminist statement, and can be savored strictly on the basis of Kidd's beautiful use of language....The Mermaid Chair is a multidimensional pleasure."—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Kidd's greatest strength as a writer is her sensuous, evocative prose. Egret Island is alive with its scent of salted air, old crab pots, bulling gumbo. The novel is also full, dense with symbolism, from the recurrent motif of the mermaid, diving deep and surfacing, to images of baptism, birds, rebirth. And Kidd continues to emphasize her central insights into the power of secrets to fester, the healing force of honesty and the significance of communities of independent but interwoven women, open to reconfigured rituals of grace….Kidd suggests that to merge body and soul just might enlarge a sense of what it is to be religious and to be married."—Pittsburgh Post Gazette
"[Kidd's] imagination, originality and command of language never cease. She is simply a profound storyteller."—The Denver Post
"Kidd draws on her extensive knowledge of theology and mythology in this insightful book about the passions and desires of body and soul. Kidd. . . slowly and carefully unveils her story about the meaning of love, the necessity of risk, and the power of forgiveness."—Orlando Sentinel
"The steady pulse of Kidd's writing pushes this narrative from heart-throbber to soul-searcher."—Boston Herald
"Kidd's sparkling imagery in The Mermaid Chair surpasses her efforts in [The Secret Life of] Bees and helps morph a simple story into something approaching myth....What keeps Kidd…flying high is her abiding sense of humor (her characters are really "characters"), an earthbound understanding of the ebb and flow of life, and her studious attention to the great metaphors of life."—Santa Cruz Sentinel
"This lush follow-up finds Kidd asking even bigger questions with the story of a woman whose life and marriage have grown increasingly stale."—Breathe
"[An] illuminating investigation of midlife malaise...The Mermaid Chair honors those who conjure up the courage to rediscover and recommit to their life passions." —The Seattle Times
"No question: Kidd can write."—The San Diego Union-Tribune
"Those who fell in love with Kidd's first novel will find pleasure here."—The Oregonian
"It takes a rare and mysterious novel to speak to our souls in so many ways that we return to the book again and again for refreshment and renewal. Sue Monk Kidd created that kind of magic in The Secret Life of Bees, and her new novel promises to have the same effect….The Mermaid Chair will lure you into its warm embrace if you have experienced a deep sense of loss in your life that will not let you go. It will appeal to your yearning for a close encounter with grace. It will enchant that secret part of you that loves mermaids and saints. It will touch all those who struggle with the Sacred Feminine in all her incarnations."—Spirituality and Health Review
"As a stylist, Kidd is in firm command of her subject. She crafts the Low Country as still life, with impressionistic beauty, complete with Gullah denizens.... The Mermaid Chair provides more than the easy reach for casual readers, for underlying the woman-come-home plot, Kidd provides depth to her characters through thematic contradictions: spirituality versus the erotic, Christian versus mythological, new life through death, ultimately reconciling this writer's overall credo: There is no happiness or spiritual contentment without an appreciation for emptiness and the necessary experience of hell.... The Mermaid Chair exceeds Kidd's first novel both in scope and in depth. While it is darker in tone, deeper with dysfunction, Kidd reprises the old techniques. She textures her novel with complex characters, rich imagery and seamless symbolism.... The Mermaid Chair proves her versatility as a storyteller, her devotion to craft and a heart for the genuine character."—The Post & Courier

Mixing Mate™ Eliminates Paint Can Mess
MEDINA, MN (July 24, 2012) - Rockler has just introduced Mixing Mate™, a locking mixing lid for quart-sized paint and finish cans designed to mix, pour, and store. The locking lid and pouring spout eliminate drips and spills, even with a full can, and the mixing turbine operates with a simple crank handle to achieve a thorough mix in a matter of seconds. Mixing Mate prepares products for use – and provides a safe and clean storage solution – without the mess of conventional methods.
"Mixing Mate provides a new way to prepare, use, and store paint and finishing products," said Steve Krohmer, Vice President of Product Development. "It eliminates the frustration of prying off dented, crusty lids and mixing until your hand is numb with a messy stir stick that will be thrown away. And since the spout pours with pinpoint accuracy and no drips, you can leave your funnel on the shelf!"
Each Mixing Mate comes fully assembled and ready to use. The lid features four cam locks that lock to the edges of the can, creating a tight seal to eliminate spills. After the lid is locked, the user simply cranks the handle for approximately 30 seconds in the clockwise direction to completely mix the product. The side handle is sturdy and easy to grip, while the spring-loaded thumb trigger opens the pour spout, similar to the function of a maple syrup dispenser. Users can then pour the amount they need and Mixing Mate will keep the product sealed until it is needed again. Mixing Mate can be re-used or transferred to other paint and finish cans.
The Mixing Mate (44360) retails for $14.99 and is available at Rockler Woodworking and Hardware stores nationwide, Rockler independent resellers, Rockler.com, or in the Rockler catalog. For store locations or a free catalog, please visit www.rockler.com or call 1-877-ROCKLER.

The American public understands that today's global challenges are complex in nature, but has too often been misled by empty rhetoric and cherry-picked facts.
ASP is organized around the belief that honest public discussion of national security requires a better-informed citizenry–one that understands the dangers and opportunities of the 21st century, the spectrum of available responses, and the benefits and drawbacks of each course of action.
ASP was formed to help Americans–from opinion leaders to the general public–understand how national security issues relate directly to them, and to explain challenges and threats in a way that spurs constructive action.
As such, below is a collection of our fact-sheets and other related papers to assist in "what you need to know in national security".

Peabody has a really involved PTA, intense school pride, an incredible principal and dedicated teachers. We have been there for 3 years and it keeps getting better. Every family is asked to give $1000 so there are a lot of gaps filled in that that government doesn't fund in CA.
We really enjoyed our brief time at Peabody for our 2 daughters for K and 1st/2nd grade (SDC). The teachers and principle (and all staff) were great. We would love to stay, but moved to Pacifica (where home prices are more affordable).
Hi, former student here! I'm now in high school. I want to say that George Peabody has given me so many memories that always make me smile whenever I think of them. It is tremendously terrific school because everyday was a day of learning and everyday was a day of fun. Your child will love it, I know I did. (5th grade teacher Mr.Gelfand is awesome! I wonder if he still has silent lion, the class pet!) -former student
It's no secret that Peabody is referred to as a public private school. If you are lucky enough to have your kid(s) attend this school, you also know you must assume responsibility to ensure its success continues. About 8 years ago, parents got together, determined to make Peabody what it is today: a small school with an incredible principal, fantastic teachers and has a community of parents who commit to raising over $200k/year. And the fundraising is from bake sales every few weeks, but by simply writing a check to the school for at least $1000, and often much more. Giving even $10k a year is still cheaper than a private school, and knowing all the other parents are also giving the most they can in time and money to the school means you get to send your kid to a school of devoted, grounded families who become your friends and community, who share your same educational values and provide the school with the resources and support it needs to ensure our children receive the best education possible.
This is our first year at Peabody. What a fantastic school! There is such a great sense of community here. There is alot of parent involvement. The teachers are dedicated. The students are engaged, happy and learning. With less than 300 students for K-5, this school is on the small side, but it is all to the benefit of the kids.
My son is really enjoying kindergarten at Peabody. He actually gets out of the car every day and runs into the playground -- he's so excited every day to learn, to play, to see his friends. Peabody was our first choice because of its small size, small class size, community feel, its reputation as a really good school, and Principal Vroegh, who sets a very high bar of excellence, pride, dedication, and caring. Peabody is a place you just want to be part of. It's down to earth and fun and we feel really lucky to be a part of the community.
we loved this school for the year my son was in kindergarten 2009-10. we moved to walnut creek, not because of any problem with the school. because we wanted better real estate. anyway, i know i will miss it. it was our first choice in the lottery and it was a great year.
Peabody is a real beacon of learning. We live across town, and got a spot at Peabody by accident. Accident or no, we could not be happier. Our daughter's teachers are engaged, responsive and the principal, Mr. Vroegh, knows every child. She is thriving as are her friends and classmates, no matter where they are on the learning spectrum. And the parent community is active and positive. There are just wonderful families there - people and kids you are happy to know, and know better every year. I feel confident that my child (and our younger child following behind her sister) will be well-educated, supported and seen at Peabody.
It's a small public school with a fantastic principal and teachers. My daughter has learned so much in the past 2 years at the school and she loves school. The PTA is extremely strong which supports many after school classes, such as piano, spanish, yoga, art, sports, tree frog trek, chess and many others. We love it
This school has be absolutely wonderful and an amazing transition into kindergarten for our daughter and our family. The principal is outstanding and very actively involved, we love our daughter's teacher - she comes home with stories and pride in what she's absorbed each day. Everything from the garden, wonderful Coach Mary, Ms. Wong, Ms. Wanda, Ms. Tam, Nori caring for our kids on the play structure - the library, inviting PTA and absolute sense of community, we truly feel blessed to be a part of this school.
A wonderful place to work. Parent and staff working together to make a joyful and educational environment. The curriculum goes above and beyond the california standards with amazing ties to the arts and sciences.
George Peabody is a school that develops community among its children, parents and staff. The leadership of the principal, Willem Vroegh is outstanding.
When we started at George Peabody two years ago, I was a little concerned because it was such a small school. I wondered if it would have the resources to be a truly great school. The PTA president at the time told me the size is actually an asset. It is much easier to turn a small boat than an ocean liner. In just 2 years we have seen remarkable additions to the school: a new play structure, a new learning garden, and unique after school enrichment offerings (from drama, to Tree Frog Treks to lion dancing). The teachers and the principal are fantastic. The parent participation and enthusiasm put added shine on this gem.
I am a current parent of 2 boys grades 7 and 10. This school has a very positive atmosphere and a feeling of a closeknit family. Much better than private schools, IMHO. :-)
My child is in their final year at peabody. After 6 years here, I think it was a good place for him most of the time. There were some rough times I don't feel were handled properly, and I would not send younger children here in the future while certain staff remain. Overall though I feel my child got a good education, was able to particiapte in some great activities like the LEAP Sandcastle competition in Oct, the rebuilding of the school playground in Nov, being part of painting & beautifying the school the past 4 years. The teachers are good at getting the kids that need extra help the attention they need. Challenging the ones that need it. And helping the ones in between excel on their own terms.
This is our second year at George Peabody and we are very happy that our child is here. His kindergarten teacher was so experienced and I am continually amazed at what he was able to achieve under her leadership. We love the small community. The principal knows most everyone and is very involved as are most of the parents. The only drawback is lack of green space, but you can only fit so much into a small urban school yard, and plans are almost complete for adding a learning garden next to the new play structure.
We are a new Kindergarten family at George Peabody so we're only a few weeks into the school year but we have been incredibly impressed with the school so far. It's small enough that very quickly our daughter felt at home. The Principal knows every child's name and is a constant presence around the school. The after school programs have been amazing and the parent participation is very active. Our family has felt incredibly welcomed in our new school.
Peabody is a very small and unique school that is special in its committment to excellence and detail. The Principal is an excellent leader and is open to new ideas. The PTA is strong, providing a variety of extracurricular activities, after school classes, and weekend events. I feel the school is a little bubble of peace and security for my children to be. They are both thriving and happy. I feel my 5th grader is well prepared for middle school. With few exceptions, the teachers are great! I wish though the public scool system left for time for things like science fairs and special projects, but the curricullum is too full for this. I have found parent participation is key to the success of the children's grades. I highly recommend GP for any prospective parents with young children.
Excellent principal. We've had excellent teachers and okay teachers. This year many students and parents have had problems with this teacher being unfair and keeping the children in for lunch and 10-20minutes late every day after school to do work because she does not budget her classtime well. There are a lot of extra-ciriccular activities but some families feel forced to participate so the school can justify funding them all. But my child is happy and thriving, doing very well academicaly & socialy, and that is what is most important. I may or may not concider sending a future child here.
When I began the process of finding the right school for my daughter, I was convinced that I needed to get her into one of the 'alternative schools'. However, after touring George Peabody and speaking with some of the parents, I realized what a great little school it is. In the short time that she has been in Kindergarten, I have been thrilled with the quality of her education and the overall learning & social environment. Peabody provides a great integrative arts program, physical education and solid academics. It's warm and nurturing and small enough to provide individual attention to all the students. Most importantly, my daughter is learning and excited to go to school every day.

Minnesota Native and Tallest Man in U.S. Seeks Shoes, NormalcyCANTON, Mass. (AP) — Finding shoes for the nation's tallest man takes more than a trip to the mall; more like a trip across the country. Igor Vovkovinskiy flew to Massachusetts on Thursday from Minnesota so shoe engineers at Reebok could try to custom build shoes strong enough to support his massive frame.

A 200-pound, 30-foot-tall gorilla has gone missing, and cops haven't a clue as to who could have snatched him. KATU-TV reports Marty the gorilla, the blue, 200-pound inflatable mascot who has sat atop Spas of Oregon in Gladstone for four years, was stolen late last week by what appears to be a well-prepared team of robbers.
The thieves scaled the 40-foot-tall building, likely using a pair of ladders, says the owner, and snipped the cables securing the gorilla and the compressors that keep him inflated -- a feat that would have meant hauling hundreds of pounds of gear and gorilla from the roof without being seen.
Marty the gorilla was last seen wearing yellow polka dot shorts and sunglasses, and holding a hot tub over his head.

People with disabilities remain largely sidelined in American politics, according to a new study published in Social Science Quarterly. The research article, "Sidelined or Mainstreamed? Political Participation and Attitudes of People with Disabilities in the United States," is authored by Lisa Schur, Rutgers University associate professor, and Meera Adya, Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University director of research.
According to the study, people with disabilities have a lower turnout to the polls, with an overall gap of 11 percent in 2008. Access barriers at voting sites, reduced mobility and transportation difficulties are associated with lower turnout, even with the availability of absentee ballots.
The study authors note that the size of the disability population means it is an important voting bloc and potential swing group, especially considering the research did not find many significant differences in party affiliation or views between people with and without disabilities.
"Fully closing the disability gap would have led to 3 million more voters in 2008 and 3.2 million more voters in 2010, potentially affecting many races and subsequent public policies," write Schur and Adya.
The study is based on data from the 2008 and 2010 Current Population Surveys, the 2006 General Social Survey and the 2007 Maxwell Poll on Citizenship and Inequality. The researchers will conduct a national survey of people with and without disabilities following November's election, focused on accessibility and measuring other drivers of turnout.
Other research findings:
• In 2008, Democrats had a better effort than Republicans around mobilizing people with disabilities. As of November 2011, there were two official Democratic sites on disability and no Republican ones.
• Although political attitudes and views of people with disabilities are not significantly different from those of people without disabilities, there are differences on several key issues, such as employment and health care, which could become important drivers of mobilization this year.
• People with disabilities appear to put a higher priority on government action in providing health care and jobs, findings consistent with high unemployment levels of people with disabilities.

PAHO Helps Turks and Caicos Islands Recover
PAHO immediately mobilized its staff and consultants in the areas of disease surveillance; environmental health and sanitary engineering; disaster management and response; and entomology from different locations in the Caribbean and deployed them to the TCI in order to provide timely technical expertise to the authorities.
Additionally, PAHO secured the services of thirteen professionals from Ministries of Health in Barbados, St. Kitts & Nevis, Jamaica, Belize and Grenada. These persons provided operational assistance in areas such as vector control management, water sanitation, public health inspection, mental health and public health nursing. Approximately US $85,000.00 was spent by the Organization to support the deployment of these staff to the TCI.
PAHO also procured equipment and supplies, such as pesticides, water testing kits, spraying and fogging equipment, etc at a cost of approximately US $44,000.
The timely and efficient PAHO response to this disaster was enabled through a grant, which was generously provided by the United Kingdom Department for International Development [DFID].

Moisture Measurement, Detection And Data Analysis
For Primary and Secondary Wood Products Manufacturers
Proudly Made in America by Wagner Meters
Whether your company is a primary lumber mill or a secondary wood products operation, with or without dry kilns, the Omega In-Line Moisture Measurement System should be your most important moisture measurement and analysis tool.
Whether it is installed upstream or downstream of your planing or moulding operation, a sideways or end-to-end configuration, the benefits of having an Omega system are the same:
- keeping moisture problems out of your mill
- Improving your kiln drying, your grade recovery and your bottom line by minimizing moisture-related degrade, excessive drying energy costs, wet claims and overall moisture quality control issues
Omega, Wagner's latest generation of moisture measurement systems, continues our legacy of providing comprehensive and robust moisture measurement and data analysis tools that are so critical now for today's modern wood products mills.
Especially designed for the lumber mill or wood products manufacturing environment, Omega and its optional data collection and analysis software is an invaluable tool for improving your kiln drying or overall moisture quality control.
A Closer Look at the Wagner Omega System
The Omega system comes in two basic configurations:
- Sideways (transverse)
- End-to-end (lengthwise)
Sideways Configuration
Up to eight sensors can be installed between the chain races.
Boards pass over these sensors at a high rate of speed, and multiple MC readings from each sensor are taken on every piece of lumber. Those that have an out-of-spec (too wet or too dry) moisture content can activate outputs in the Omega system's main console to trigger spray-marking devices or your dropout gate.
If your application requires longitudinal measurement of your lumber or wood components, then an end-to-end sensor version of Omega is an option.
End-To-End Configuration
Most often installed on the outfeed side of high-speed planers or moulders, an Omega system with an end-to-end sensor scans your lumber, flooring or wood components at over 300 measurements per second. End-to-end measurement is preferable when there is a need to, for example, identify wet pockets along the length of lumber that will be sold to laminated beam manufacturers. It will also allow the identification and trimming out of wet areas within strip flooring.
Additionally, with Omega's fast scanning rate capability, board moisture content can be profiled in great detail along the length of boards with this high-speed data being communicated to today's sophisticated grading systems, providing additional moisture information for your automated lumber grading solutions.
Moisture Data Collection And Analysis
Whether you are a high-production lumber mill interested in improving your kiln drying QC or a door/window, wood flooring, cabinet manufacturer or other remanufacturing or secondary wood products operation with the need for tight moisture QC…
"You can't know where to go until you know where you are."
Omega's optional data collection and analysis software, gathering moisture data from every measured board, offers you a comprehensive tool to help pin down kiln drying or moisture-related manufacturing problems and can assist in the identification of lumber suppliers that are not meeting your moisture specifications.
For in-depth kiln analysis, primary mills are able to map packages in the kiln and determine hot or cold spots based on moisture data from the planer mill. Moisture data by product is also available.
For the secondary manufacturer, you are able to analyze your key lumber suppliers and if necessary, help them provide lumber that better meets your moisture criteria.
Katview Kiln Analysis & Trending Software
Wagner's data collection and analysis software allows your mill to move to a new level of performance in kiln drying.
Kiln Diagnostics
Wagner software for Omega in-line systems gives you the capability to truly analyze how your kilns are drying. Use pack mapping to identify hot and cold spots in your kilns. Do comprehensive reports to look at average moisture content and standard deviation trends in your kiln charges over time. What kilns are drying the most uniformly? Are you having a trap or coil problem? Is there too much non-uniformity within the kiln from top-to-bottom, side-to-side, or end-to-end?
Product Run Reports
Wagner software also allows you to track the moisture content data over time of your different lumber products. Are your 2×4's generally coming in over dry? Is your moisture content spread too great? Compare your moisture averages to your grade-out and determine the impact of high or low moisture content on your bottom line.
- Easy to use interface
- Powerful moisture analysis tools to diagnose kiln drying problems
- Create Product Run and Kiln reports
- Interface with barcode scanners
Omega: Designed to be Durable in a Very Challenging Environment
From the sensors to the main cabinet, Wagner's Omega system has been ruggedly and thoughtfully designed to stand up to the tough lumber mill or wood manufacturing environment.
Looking inside Omega's weather-resistant cabinet, you'll find very durable, industry standard input/output modules that are convenient for wiring and easy to replace.
The industrially-hardened LCD touch screen user interface is resistant to moisture, dust and other harsh elements.
An easy-to-navigate menu allows for quick setup and configuration of your system.
