A Concert Celebration of Mardi Gras with The Pine Leaf Boys and Le Vent du Nord
Where: Dana Center at Saint Anselm College, 100 Saint Anselm Drive in Manchester
When: Thursday, Feb. 16, at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets: $6 (students) to $32.50 at www.anselm.edu
So your plans to head south for Mardi Gras fell through? Well, fret not. This year, Louisiana is coming to Manchester. The Pine Leaf Boys play authentic Cajun music, reflecting a tradition passed down through three generations. The Eunice, La.,-based quintet has traveled the world as ambassadors of the Bayou State, including State Department-sponsored tours of the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
It's a unique opportunity for music fans, marking the first time the band has ever been away from its Bayou State home in mid-February.
"We've never left during the season of Mardi Gras," said accordion player and vocalist Wilson Savoy in a recent telephone interview. "So the whole goal is to take what we usually do down here, which is play a lot of Mardi Gras gigs, and bring it up north."
Of course, it's colder here and the shows are in concert halls, not rowdy bars. "But we'll get on stage and do our thing and explain to people that this is what Mardi Gras is," says Savoy. "It's not parades and none of the garbage that you see on TV; this is the real deal."
The purpose of the Mardi Gras celebration is to mark the last day before Lent, Savoy explains: "Cajuns are known to be Catholics, and this is the last chance to enjoy the thing they're giving up. They can drink, smoke, get crazy and have a great time — and it all ends on Ash Wednesday."
The HBO series Treme immortalized Fat Tuesday in Eunice. The Season 2 episode featured Savoy in a speaking role, juxtaposing the raucous festivities in New Orleans with the hometown Cajun run his brother Joel conceived after wearying of parties full of brawling out-of-town drunks, litter and chicken-killing.
"My brother said, 'I don't want to support this anymore, this is not what Mardi Gras really is,'" Savoy says. "He decided to do it correctly at his house and got the old guys involved that used to do it 50 years ago when it was good."
It's this spirit — krewes, colorful costumes and the music of Mardi Gras — that fans will see when the Pine Leaf Boys share the stage on Feb. 16 with Quebec's Le Vent du Nord, a band they've met but never played with. The two groups share a bloodline dating back to the 18th-century migration from eastern Canada to Louisiana that created the Cajun culture.
"It will be fun to show them what's become of the music after these years of being away," Savoy says with a wry laugh.
It's no surprise that Savoy's love of music began almost before he could walk or talk. His father is a Cajun legend, an accordion player who also runs a music store that hosts a popular weekly jam session. His mother, Ann Allen Savoy, wrote and performed songs on the T-Bone Burnett-curated The Divine Secrets of Ya-Ya Sisterhood soundtrack, and Joel Savoy is a renowned fiddler. The Savoy Family Cajun Band has toured all over the world.
"When you grow up with one thing in your household all the time, it becomes very natural for you, like speaking English," Savoy says — an interesting statement, given that he sings all the Pine Leaf Boys' tunes in French. "You'd think it would be a given to do it, and it has been for me. For the last 11 years I have been traveling and playing Cajun music, and it's been a wonderful living."
The band received four consecutive Grammy nominations in the Zydeco/Cajun category before it was eliminated this year (along with several other genres in a streamlining effort). The recognition helped earn the attention of Robert Plant, who asked the group to open his "Band of Joy" show at Tipitina's in New Orleans a few years ago.
Plant's invitation led to a somewhat awkward moment.
"I didn't know Led Zeppelin was a band, I thought it was a guy," Savoy says. "I said, sure we can do a show with him. Then I called my band mates, who were more into the scene, and they flipped out."
Apart from a childhood passion for Jerry Lee Lewis, Savoy is not a rock & roll fan. However, watching Plant perform gave him a better appreciation of his popularity.
"The audience looked at him as if they were looking at a god on stage," he recalls. "The people were speechless."
As it turns out, Savoy wasn't the only one who was nonchalant about the Zeppelin singer's stature as a rock icon.
"The funniest part is the next day he came out here to where we live in Lafayette, and they had a party for him — he had a day off," Savoy remembers. "We boiled some crawfish and we were hanging out. Nobody at that party except for a couple of people knew who he was. He was just sitting around; nobody was taking his picture. To them, he was just some long-haired English guy who was dressed kind of dorky … just a regular old guy hanging out in our neck of the woods."

Our last morning in Las Cruces, I just happened to be up when the sun was creating a silhouette of the Organ Mountains. I hurried down to the end of the campground and snapped away.
After a month here, as much as we enjoyed our stay in Las Cruces, we were ready to be on the road again. We were under way by 10:15ish, heading west. We drove I 10 all the way to Benson Arizona where we turned south on SR 80 and onward to Tombstone.
How's this for some scenery along I 10 just before we crossed into Arizona? (Oh, and shot out the window at about 60 MPH too! Ya, getting better at this, and ya, I take a lot of photos to get a good one. You can see some glare in the top left corner of this photo from the windows, but, I'm reasonably happy with this shot.)
Before long we crossed the state lines, see:
We saw all kinds of signs like this one, go ahead, Google it! Ya, a tourist trap. I asked about it on Facebook and my friends suggested Man and I did not need to stop, so, we didn't! LOL
Just before Benson Arizona there is a rest stop, should be renamed a "photo-op stop".
This photo will give you a bit of an idea of how large these formations really are, note the 18-wheelers below:
In Tombstone we met up with fellow MOC members and friends Nita and Al B. They are on the way to Quartzsite as well, and we decided to meet at Tombstone and let the boys relive their youthful cowboy memories. (Stay tuned for posts about shoot em up Tombstone and Boot Hill Cemetery and a ride in the mountains that was not what we expected - - - )
Our trip from Las Cruces New Mexico to Tombstone Arizona was about 250 miles.

I have been shooting 5x4 for a little while, and it's great. But... I really like the 5x7 aspect ratio.
The good news - my lenses cover 5x7 with some movements, and I can get a 5x7 conversion kit for my 5x4. So in principle I could step up fairly easily.
The bad news - 5x7 colour film is hard to find (although not impossible), or you can cut 10x8. 5x7 double darks are really hard to find. 5x7 processing isn't that easy either - I'm in the UK, and my favourite labs don't offer it (although I believe there are others that do).
My question to the wiser and more experienced folk is: do the difficulties make 5x7 colour impractical, or can one get over the issues with a reasonable amount of effort? (I know 5x7 B&W is easier, but that isn't my bag.)
Many thanks.

Fixing the faulty jpg header could be added to external scrapers if their designers wanted too. Most will just say tmdb are at fault.
TMDB have changed the jpg encoding engine and this has caused the issue on the Mede8er Movie Scraper. We have investigated the issue and think the problem lies in the header marker of the jpg files as the parameter density is incorrect. It used to read 'density = 72 x 72 DPI (dots per inch)' but now it reads 'density = 1 x 1 (aspect ratio)' and we think this could be the problem.
The third option could be if Sanji shares the software source code with the community. I'm sure there will be some developers like me who would be happy to improve the existing firmware.
I'm sure something legal agreement have to be between Sanji and TMDB.
Everything has at least 10 years support AFTER END OF PRODUCTION. Cars, cameras, PCs, Notebooks, etc. It is not possible to just "stop" the support. I think this is a legal requirement in the European Union. My Mede8er is only 3.5 years old. It was not cheap, and the current capability is not better than the other product was, but it was 30-40% cheaper.I understand that this is because of Realtek. However, it is Sanji's fault it accepted Realtek rules. Don't tell me that there is no contract between Realtek and Sanji neither.It is not fair play. It is not fair that the customers were not informed in advance, before the purchasing. Sorry to say that, but for my part, I will enforce the guarantee to get my money back.
Someone explains to me why despite the problems listed, the TV series are perfect, while the movies do not?
I purchased a MED600X3D just over 2 years ago to replace a Boxee Box which the manufacturers stopped supporting. I find myself in the same position again. Manufacturers should support their products for a number of years post final sales. I find myself extremely angry at sanji. My other products are Apple, at least they support their products for several years and warn when support is going to stop.

Teacher Resource for Chocolate: The Field Museum
By far, one of my favorite resources for studying chocolate is the Field Museum website. Their current exhibit, Chocolate Around the World, will be on display through January 8th, 2012. If you happen to live in Chicago, you should definitely try to swing by there, or plan a trip for your class. They still have several weekend activities planned between now and the end of the year. In fact, this Friday and Saturday (Nov 25th & 26th), artist Rebecca Moy will be painting an original chocolate masterpiece. The following weekend on Dec 3rd, Rhonda Morkes will be creating chocolate gingerbread houses, and during the last week of December, Pastry Chef Omar Martinez, from Food for Thought, will be creating a miniature version of the Field Museum - out of chocolate!
But aside from these fun events, the museum's website is full of information. The Educators' Resources area offers six lessons on the relationship between chocolate and the environment, and another six lessons between chocolate and culture for teachers to download. You can also find Fascinating Facts, Chocolate Quotations, Recipes, and Book and Movie Lists, to name a few. In the All About Chocolate section is another page with activities Just for Kids.
In addition, the site offers three interactives. Manufacturing Chocolate takes the visitor through the process of making chocolate from growing the trees to pouring them into molds. My kids love this interactive because it lets them cut the beans with a machete, pack them into bags, start the various machines and much more.
The Chocolate Challenge takes you on a journey around the world - but only by answering questions about chocolate can you advance on your journey! Again, more fun for the kids, but mine were a little too young. Best suited for children ages 9 (10?) and up.
Cacao Farm helps you discover the connections between cacao and its environment by using your virtual binoculars or microscope to study the differences between cacao farms and rain forests.
So if you're looking for a fun - but educational - distraction for the kids this holiday weekend, this website is a great place to start!
Con mucho cariño...

This sounds like fun! I'll have to tell my 10 year old about it, he loves this kind of stuff!ReplyDelete
my gosh, how come i've never heard of this museum?? painting chocolate??!?! if you go, pls do a recap! how fun!ReplyDelete
Wow...now this I'd like to see in person! Wish it was in NYC!ReplyDelete
What a creative way to teach kids! A chocolate gingerbread house is my idea of the perfect holiday celebration! thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
Wow!! I'm with Patty! I wish it was in NYC!ReplyDelete
Great links Monica! This is such a fun topic to experience with kids and I definitely think a tasting session is in order! LOL!ReplyDelete
I love this. And there's nothing like learning through tasting - especially when it's chocolate :)ReplyDelete
This is awesome Monica! I live in Chicago and I definitely will pass on the info about the chocolate exhibit at the Field Museum to my students at work! Thanks :)ReplyDelete
This sounds like so much fun! I probably would have paid more attention in school if they had taught using chocolate! :P If you go, I want pics! :)ReplyDelete
Okay this is a chocolate lovers dream!! I would love to see Pastry Chef Omar, how cool it that? Thank you for sharing!!ReplyDelete
I want to go there...I need to get back to Chicago!ReplyDelete
I wish I had read this post before I went to LATISM '11 in Chicago! Thanks for the 411. I'll pass it along to friends who live in town, or might be visiting.ReplyDelete
This sounds fascinating. Chocolate really does have quite an impact in history, lives, and the planet. In Peru (the biggest exporter of organic cacao in the world), it is part of our biodiversity and a great source of income for many communities.ReplyDelete

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 169 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
PorterVision is a company founded by Patrick K. Porter, PhD that offers self-improvement services primarily through creative visualization and relaxation.

In addition, we market a light & sound relaxation device that uses flashing lights and binaural beats (tones) to simulate the brainwaves our brains generate when deeply relaxed.
We are looking for a logo in which the name itself, PorterVision, is prominent and bold. We want a mind/body. personal growth theme.

We are looking for sophistication and elegance in our design.
- A high end look
- Something spa-like
- Beauty
- Boldness in the name itself
- Rich colors with some blue
- Something that would translate well as embroidering on shirts, would stand out on products like water bottles, and that would do well in both color and b/w
- Elegance and sophistication
- Don't want anything cliche
- Don't want imagery that overpowers the name itself
- Don't want images of the earth
- Don't want images of eyeballs
- Don't want cute or silly or overly artsy

Right, now I'm probably going to sound like a right one when i say this but...
Whenever I hear Blue Foundation - Eyes on Fire I always tend to imagine it's Alice singing it. I have got absolutely no idea why I think this, and I don't have any clue what the singer looks like, but for some strange reason her voice make me think of Alice

Re: The Soundtrack
The soundtracks for the movies are really good (except Paramore, sorry) I loved the New Moon soundtrack. I love Sia. In my opinion the music is probably the best part of the movies. True story.
Twilight Video Mix
In lieu of Twilight Breaking Dawn Part One's release, I decided to do a video remix of the first three movies of the Twilight Saga leading up to it. As you all know, the musical score is an integral part of a movie. This is a musical score from a video dj/ video turntablist's vision.

I am a typical "joe" who has worked in the software industry for a number of years and have an idea to move to being my own boss. I am launching a mobile coupon company and build out the necessary partnerships and applications right now. But...need an identity.
Currently targeting Canadian market but intention is to roll out to other countries. The company will provide offers and deals from a variety of retail merchants to consumer via their mobile device.
Three key groups:
Consumers: Initially young, "hip", likely female, in their twenties to early thrities. They are facebookers, tweeters, and generally social savvy and have a smartphone. Our solution will be smartphone consumer facing with the initial focus on IPhone.
Retailers: We need to fill our catalog of offers/coupons and thus need to attact retailers to the site. Retailers will initially be mall based, but could have their own store front and span many retail categories. Could be mom/pop and larger brands.
Partners: To supplement our catalog we will be reaching out to a number of third party partners to develop mutual beneficial relationships to keep our catalog growing and fresh.
1. mshopr name should be in logo
2. we would like supporting imagry and not just the text of the company.

6. A bar code or a shopping tag would work. Again, open to concepts, but any retail based visiual is open for review.
7. Would like it to be more on the fun end than corporate end of the spectrum.
8. Simple is better, so no overpowering visuals

The Micro:bit Foundation aims to deliver BBC micro:bits to 300,000 Japanese children by 2020
The Micro:bit Educational Foundation has announced the BBC micro:bit will be available to schools, clubs and families across Japan from Saturday 5 August 2017. The micro:bit is a credit card-sized, programmable device designed to teach the next generation of children fundamental critical thinking skills through computer programming.
The Foundation's goal is to deliver the micro:bit to 300,000 Japanese children by 2020
The Foundation will be working with Switch Education, who promote STEM education in Japan and have Head office's in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, and Maki Komuro, their Representative Director, to start programming education in Japan using the micro:bit. As well as launching the micro:bit, the Foundation will be making its website and programming environment available in Japanese.
Website and programming environment supports Japanese
Zach Shelby, the Microbit Foundation CEO, is visiting Japan for the launch and to give a keynote lecture on the Main Stage at the Maker Faire Tokyo, 2017. The keynote is on Saturday, August 5, 2017 from 14:00 to 15:20 and Shelby will talk about the microbit and the Foundation's aims for computer science education. After the keynote Shelby will be part of a panel discussion with Professor Kazuhiro Abe, a leading expert in programming education in Japan, and Mr. Komuro to discuss Japan's programming education, what the challenges are and how the micro:bit can help. "We will enable a whole new generation of young innovators in Japan thanks to the introduction of physical computing in school, clubs and at home with micro:bit" says Zach.
The micro:bit's sale price in Japan is planned to be 2,160 yen (tax included) and Switch Education and Odyssey Communications Inc will act as the first resellers. For more information about the micro:bit or to find the nearest reseller, visit the Foundation resellers list.
About the BBC micro:bit and the Micro:bit Educational Foundation
The micro:bit includes 25 LEDs to display simple images and text, two programmable buttons, a variety of sensors and can connect to other devices via Bluetooth. Additionally, the pins on the edge of the device allow for easy expansion to other hardware modules and broadens the device's creative potential.
Students can program the device using MakeCode, which allows them to switch back and forth between block-based and text-based coding, Python and the popular block-based coding language Scratch. The micro:bit Scratch extension is available at scratchx.org.

Texas Government
A Disappearing American Dream?
- Details
- Category: Texas Legislature
- Published on 20 July 2012

A Disappearing American Dream?
by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison
R.C. Slocum needs no introduction in Texas, or to football fans across the country. But for those not familiar with his name, he is the former Texas A&M football coach who was just inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. R.C. is one of the finest men I have ever met; the true embodiment of America and all that is exceptional about our nation.
I sent him a note of congratulations on his induction, and he wrote me back. In his letter, he voiced concerns I've been hearing from constituents all over Texas – and concerns I have myself – that the America we grew up in is fast disappearing.
"Although I grew up in a poor family, I was taught that I was privileged because I was born in America, the land of opportunity. We did not begrudge the "rich" but were encouraged that through hard work and education, some day we could be one of them. Thankfully, I was not taught that it was someone else's fault that we were poor or that government would, or should, come bail us out. We worked our own way out and felt the great feeling of accomplishment that goes with it. In my career as a coach, I encouraged my players to try the formula I was given. It still works and I am so proud of the young men that have dramatically changed their lives, and with it, the course of their families' lives."
This is the story of so many Americans, and of our country itself: people worked hard, got an education and made a better life for their families; they instilled values and a strong work ethic in their children, and that generation went on to do better than the one that came before. But this is becoming all too uncommon a sentiment and all too difficult a goal to achieve. The idea that hard work should be rewarded, or that success should be based on merit, seems to be disappearing from the cultural landscape. And for those who have held to those fundamental principles, the promise we could once make that determination and effort would pay off is no longer a guarantee. I was stunned when the President recently said, "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." The idea that it is government, not hard-working Americans, who build and sustain businesses that provide jobs and support our economy is perhaps why we are looking at the first generation of young adults who are not expected to do better than their parents.
I do not believe the President or Democrats in Congress have bad intentions. But I do believe they have a fundamentally different view of our country, one that has brought us to crisis. And after 41 straight months of unemployment at 8-plus percent, a stagnating economy, a faltering recovery and constant threats of looming tax hikes, it should be no surprise that the American Dream is simply out of reach for too many people.
It could get worse. If Congress and the Administration fail to reach an agreement, taxes will rise for all Americans in January. That includes about 31 million middle-income Americans who will be hit for the first time by the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT), a tax that was created in 1969 to target a few hundred millionaires – without action, it will kick in on working people who make $33,750 per year. Taxes on small businesses – our nation's growth engines – are set to increase, which will stall hiring and deliver more bad news to 23 million unemployed and underemployed Americans. Our corporate tax rate, now the world's highest at 35 percent, will likely drive business to friendlier climates. Without action, the landscape for Americans in 2013 is grim: the employed will pay more taxes. The unemployed will have a harder time finding a job.
An economy cannot grow when burdened with tax hikes, over-regulation, massive debt and out-of-control spending. We need long-term solutions to our problems, not temporary fixes. Congress and the President must work together to enact comprehensive tax reform that offers American families and businesses the relief they need to get our economy growing again. If we act now, families could stop worrying about the future and how they will pay their bills. Businesses could move forward on projects, investment, hiring and expansion. We could revive the innovative, job-creating economy that made America great, and again offer the promise to all Americans that hard work will be rewarded and that merit will be the guarantor of success.
Hutchison, a Republican, is the senior U.S. senator from Texas.

text: The Chelsea old boy showed he was not past it with two crucial goals during a tightly-fought contest [GALLO/GETTY]Frank Lampard scored twice as Chelsea came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory at Everton on Sunday in Blues interim coach Rafael Benitez's first game on Merseyside since leaving Liverpool.South African Steven Pienaar gave Everton the lead in the second minute as the hosts made a flying start.But Lampard pulled one back with a header just before half-time and in the 72nd minute he added a second from close range to earn a battling victory for Benitez's side.Lampard, 34, is facing an uncertain future, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season after 12 years at Chelsea. "I know there is a lot of speculation and talk but I just want to continue playing" Frank Lampard But he now has six goals this season, with his first effort at Goodison Park meaning he has scored five league goals or more in 16 consecutive seasons."I know there is a lot of speculation and talk but I just want to continue playing,'' said Lampard, one of the most prolific midfielders in Premier League history. "I will always have Chelsea in me for life."Chelsea's fourth successive Premier League win takes them up to third in the table, four points behind second-placed Manchester City with a game in hand.For Benitez, who endured jeers from the Everton fans throughout a game that extended his unbeaten run against them to eight league matches, the only downside was losing goalkeeper Petr Cech to an ankle problem at half-time.It was a frustrating day for the hosts, who dominated for long periods and hit the woodwork three times, only to slip to just a third league defeat of the season. Magic minute Everton's bench showed just how stretched their squad was by the fresh absences of Phil Neville and Darron Gibson.But the hosts could not have wished for a better start, which saw David Moyes' men take the lead with just over a minute gone.Phil Jagielka was playing out of position at right-back but he charged forward onto a Pienaar pass and his cross was headed against the post by Victor Anichebe.Nikica Jelavic moved out of the way of the rebound to leave Pienaar the space to thump a shot into the bottom-left corner.Croatian striker Jelavic saw a free-kick bounce away off the post as Chelsea struggled to cope with the hosts' intensity.The visitors were grateful to Cech for keeping them in the match when another Jagielka cross was pushed to the edge of the area by Ashley Cole and the Chelsea goalkeeper turned a shot around the post from Leon Osman.Chelsea finally threatened when Ramires was allowed to burst through midfield and after his shot was blocked by John Heitinga, Juan Mata's follow-up was saved by goalkeeper Tim Howard.They went even closer when Cesar Azpilicueta's cross ran across the Everton goal-line with just too much force for Cole to tap in at the far post.Then, after a quick break, Pienaar picked out Jelavic and the striker's low effort was pushed wide by Cech at full stretch.But three minutes before the interval, Chelsea hit back when Lampard was left unmarked and guided in a header from a Ramires cross. Lamps to the rescue Chelsea suffered a blow at the break when Cech had to be replaced by Ross Turnbull.But they did not seem disrupted and after a neat move, Azpilicueta passed inside for David Luiz to drive a shot high and wide of goal from just outside the area.Fernando Torres also had his first effort on goal midway through the second period, hitting a powerful drive from just outside the area that was turned away by Howard.Just as it looked like Everton were tiring, Osman burst onto a return pass from Anichebe and was denied by a fine low save from Turnbull. Seconds later, Jelavic beat Turnbull with a header from a Baines cross but the ball rebounded back off the bar.But with 20 minutes remaining, Lampard edged Chelsea in front when he turned in after Howard saved from Mata.Sylvain Distin pulled off a fine block in added time to deny Torres a third Chelsea goal, while Jelavic shot straight at Turnbull in the dying seconds.

Over the past couple of months since I lost my sister to cancer I have sat down several times to write a blog, but my head has been all over the place and I couldn't find the right words to express my feelings. So now my wife, Chris, has put pen to paper (or should I say, fingers to keyboard!) and written the words below:
We had made plans for this year. As mentioned in our previous blogs, we had planned a 3-week cycle tour round the Outer Hebrides in May. But the weather was against us. Scotland had the worst weather this year; there was still snow on the mountains in midsummer! We made it as far as Oban, but then decided the safest option was to bale out due to the gale-force winds forecast.
We had also hoped to do a longer trip to France; 6 weeks instead of 3, the maximum we'd been able to find time for so far. But 'life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans', as the John Lennon song goes. And life did happen. My dear sister-in-law, Mike's little sister, Catherine, lost her battle against cancer and died at the end of July. Even as I write this, I still can't believe it. We all knew she was ill, but then she seemed to deteriorate so quickly … it all came as a bit of a shock. Even though she was suffering, she still managed to smile and make a joke to get us all laughing. She has my deepest admiration for being so brave. We miss her so much.
But, she wouldn't want us to sit around grieving for her. She would want us to get up and carry on doing the things we love doing. With this in mind, even though it was a little late in the year, we took ourselves off at the end of September to cycle the Hadrian's Wall route. It turned out to be a very emotional week for us, which took us a little by surprise. Doing the things we love seemed to bring it home that the person we had lost could no longer do these things. Grief hits you when you least expect it. But then we comforted ourselves by thinking that Cath would be watching us, and even that she had put in a good word for us so that we had good weather – wall-to-wall sunshine, every day in fact! Somehow, we had managed to choose the week of the Indian summer.
We started our ride at Port Carlisle, where we were able to leave our car. The first day we spent exploring the Solway Coast AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The road round the peninsula is flat, my favourite type of cycling!
The area has an air of tranquility and peacefulness about it, which is just what we needed. It is a good spot for birdwatching, and we could see – and hear – skeins of geese flying in for winter. Our camp was close to the shoreline and we were lulled to sleep by birdcalls and owl hoots and screeches.
However, in the middle of the night, I woke to hear water lapping close to the tent and remembered the sign we'd seen on the road alongside where we were camped: 'When water reaches this point, maximum depth is 1 foot'. Perhaps the high tide also covered the field in which we were pitched? We could end up under a foot of water! My mind started racing. 'Mike, Mike, wake up! The water has reached our tent!' Heroically, Mike dragged himself out of his snug and cosy sleeping bag to investigate. Fortunately, all was well. I had forgotten to take into account that sound carries at night – we weren't going to disappear under a foot of seawater!
We spent the next few days cycling and exploring. After a flat start, the ride became very hilly and we made it up on to the fells of the North Pennines and cycled alongside Hadrian's Wall. It seems hard to believe that Roman soldiers had actually marched from Italy to this area of Britain and built a wall to mark Rome's northern frontier. What must life have been like for them in those days?
We had the most amazing views across this beautiful landscape. With the clear skies and full sunshine, we could see for miles. A rare occurrence in the hills!
The NCN route undulated along quiet, country lanes, through small, rural villages until it reached the town of Haltwhistle, nicknamed the centre of Britain due to its position exactly in the middle of the country. We camped the night here, but in view of the change in the weather and the fact that Newcastle was hosting a World Cup rugby match that weekend so would be chock-a-block, we decided to beat a retreat and the next day caught the train back to Carlisle. From there we cycled back to Port Carlisle, our car and the journey home.
The short break, the remoteness and the stunning scenery were exactly what we needed, but we returned home sad in the knowledge that we wouldn't be able to tell our dear Cath all about it. What we have to do is believe that she was, and always will be, with us all the way.
RIP Catherine Jenkins, a beautiful person who was very much loved and who will be forever missed.

Dir/scr: Don Mancini. US. 2013. 97mins
Yes, Chucky the red-haired homicidal talking doll is back, and with typical blood-thirsty mayhem on his mind this latest addition to the hit horror franchise proves to be a fine sequel, trading more on 'stalker in a spooky house' themes than on the laughs that have defined some of the more recent Chucky films. The film, which had its world premiere at Montreal's Fantasia Film Festival, also screens at London's upcoming annual FrightFest event.
Curse Of Chucky could well be a 'haunted house' tale, except that instead of spooks you have a scarred, red-haired, doll creeping through the dark house and picking up kitchen knives enroute.
Original screenwriter/creator Don Mancini, who took over the director's chair with 2004's Seed Of Chucky, having co-written or written every film in the series, has an ease and obvious knowledge for the franchise and has a fine old time layering in the killings against the backdrop of a creepy old house, plus also throws in a few gags and also a tasty cameo at the end that will delight fans. Also back is Brad Dourif who has provided the voice of Chucky since his first appearance in Child's Play in 1988.
The film opens with a rather large package (guess what it contains?) being delivered to Sarah (Chantal Quesnelle) who lives in a rather gloomy and remote large house with her physically handicapped adult daughter Nica (Fiona Dourif, daughter of Brad, and who plays Casey in True Blood). When Sarah is found dead the next morning in a pool of her own blood, Nica understandably gets a little upset, but is even more annoyed when her sister Barb (Danielle Bistutti) arrives soon after to suggest selling the family home.
She arrives with hubby Ian (Brennan Elliot), young daughter Alice (newcomer Summer H Howell) and sexy nanny Jill (Maitland McConnell), as well as friendly neighbourhood priest Father Frank (a rather thankless role for A Martinez). Alice takes a shine to Chucky and insists he stays in her room, and before you know it the bodies start falling; little old Chucky begins to exert a control over Alice and wheelchair-bound Alice finds herself stalked through the old dark house with a knife-wielding doll hot on her heels.
Curse Of Chucky could well be a 'haunted house' tale, except that instead of spooks you have a scarred, red-haired, doll creeping through the dark house and picking up kitchen knives enroute. Don Mancini hits all of the right horror notes, plays down the laughs (until a cameo at the end) and maintains a pretty high level of tension as Chucky sets about taking nasty revenge on those around him
Fiona Dourif makes for a nicely feisty heroine, with the fact that she is wheelchair bound and unable to feel anything in her legs giving the film a nice twist. As usual, Brad Dourif chips in with just the right amount of crazed vocal relish, while kudos should also go to effects expert Tony Gardner for helping keep one of the movies most unlikely serial killers still interesting.

Hi Everyone!
It is with great sadness that I am informing our readers of the recent death of Sandra Hargreaves Luebking. Sandra passed away on February 17, 2011 after a long battle with cancer.
Sandra had been a past speaker at two of our genealogy programs. She had presented programs in May 2005 and in August 2006 at our library.
I felt so honored that Sandra presented us with two of her great programs. I had wanted her to routinely return to our library to present more of her genealogy programs but that is when I was made aware of her illness. She chose to withdraw from presenting her genealogy programs while she battled with the cancer diagnosis she had received.
Sandra was a "genealogy giant". She was very well-known at the national level in the field of genealogy.
We were so lucky to have Sandra be local to our area and to benefit by her being able to do her presentations in person within our geographic area.
She will truly be missed by all of us.
Dick Eastman had a very well detailed description of Sandra's contributions in the world of genealogy that was put together by the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS). The following text in italics was created by the FGS describing all of the accomplishments of Sandra:
Noted Genealogist and Former FGS FORUM Editor Passes
17 February 2011 – Austin, TX. The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Sandra Hargreaves Luebking, noted genealogist and one of the genealogy community's best leaders who died on Thursday, 17 February 2011 at Lemont, Illinois, surrounded by her family. Funeral arrangements are still pending at this time.
A nationally known author, editor, instructor, lecturer, and researcher, Sandra was the editor of the FGS FORUM for over 22 years. Known for her radiant smile and helpful ways, almost everyone who was a member of or worked with a genealogical society, or attended a conference knew Sandra. In nearly three decades as a professional genealogist, she presented over one thousand lectures.
Beginning in 1979, Sandra taught annually at Samford University's Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research (IGHR) and twice accompanied their British Research tour. From 1990 to 2007 she was Course I Coordinator for IGHR. From 1994 until its close in 2005, Sandra was Intermediate Studies Coordinator for the Genealogical Institute of Mid-America (at the University of Illinois, sponsored by the Illinois State Genealogical Society). With Loretto Dennis Szucs, Sandra co-edited three award-winning books, including two editions of The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy; and The Archives: A Guide to the National Archives Field Branches. Sandra also wrote two chapters for Professional Genealogy (Elizabeth Shown Mills, editor) titled "Genealogical Education" and "Fee Setting."
Helping thousands of people to find their Chicago/Cook County roots, Sandra conducted research projects for the Smithsonian Institute, numerous publishers and attorneys, and an international clientele from Australia, England, Finland, Germany and Sweden.

LET ME SEE IF I have this right. You fly to Bermuda for two rounds of golf. If you beat three other guys, you fly home with 600,000 bones. The event has a fancy name—PGA Grand Slam of Golf—but still. Three guys. (Really, just two, because the other one flew the milk run from the Far East and was jet lagged into next week.)
Lucas Glover is your winner. The Clemson grad fired a 65-66 at Port Royal Golf Course to best Stewart Cink, Angel Cabrera and Y.E. Yang. I didn't see a single shot.
OK, so Glover did have to win the U.S. Open to get into the foursome. And the other guys are also major winners. Still, it's not a bad way to start your week.
Still Hungry?
If the PGA Grand Slam of Golf leaves you hungry for something more, there's always the Denny's Grand Slam Breakfast: buttermilk pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage. (Two of each.) And you don't have to be a major winner. It's yours for under 10 bucks.

It would be interesting to see what kind of ratings this event drew. I didn't watch, primarily because I forgot about it. I'm not sure I would have watched had I remembered. This year's Major winners are great players but exciting to watch is not a term that could be used to describe them.

There are many different loan programs that a first-time buyer may qualify for at the national, state and local levels.

Last night was the big NYC kick off for my six city Lost in Suburbia "Cool Mom Book and Blow Dry Bar Tour." About 50 women joined me at the fabulous Fix Beauty Bar on the Upper East Side for wine, cheese, quesadillas and Cool Mom Margaritas! Some ladies treated themselves to manicures and blow outs while they sipped their cocktails, others got sparkly tattoos from Glitter Toos, and everyone got a chance to sample the decadent desserts from Sweet Loren's! (And by the way, Loren of Sweet Loren's got a great blowout, too!)
Our other sponsors, Theraderm, Office Candy and Living Fresh Collection were also on hand to shower our guests with gifts and discuss their products.
I will do another post when all the photos roll in (courtesy of Jennifer Lee Photography!) and give you more detail about the event. But for now, I just want to thank Holly Rosen Fink of Culture Mom Media, my amazing publicists at WE+PR, and everyone who made it such a wonderful night!
* * *
Now, because I'm me and nothing happens in my life without a little excitement around it… let me tell you what happened before the party.
I drove into the city with a case of Margaritas in the back of my SUV. At some point the case fell over, which I didn't realize, and several of the bottles were rolling around the back, which I also didn't realize. However, when someone cut me off and I had to slam on the brakes, I was very aware that the smashing sound in the back of my car was the sound of one or more bottles of margaritas being broken. And if the sound didn't give it away, the instant overpowering aroma of margaritas in my car certainly did.
I pulled over and kneeled into the back of the car to clean up the mess and, in the process, got margarita all over the knees of my pants.
At this point, I was thinking it would be really, really bad to get stopped by a cop, so I drove really slowly and tried not to hit any pedestrians like I usually do.
Eventually I got to the salon, unloaded the stuff from my car, and then hit the bathroom on the way out. I was in a hurry since I was double parked outside, so I quickly tucked in my shirt, zipped up my pants, and somehow, ended up catching the shirt in the zipper and shredding the shirt.
I now have a shredded shirt, wet stinky pants and 1/2 an hour to go until my party. So I quickly ditched the car and came back to help set up. We were just about ready when I picked up a bag of bottled water, lost my grip, and dropped the water on my foot.
In case you were wondering, the dragonfly tattoo is a normal part of my foot. The black and blue color above the tattoo is not.
The good news is my jacket covered the shredded shirt, the pants were black so no one could see the margarita stains, and the foot hurt like hell, but what's a little pain when you have a party to host? I'm hoping that our next party in Charlotte next week will be just a little bit less eventful. Maybe there will just be a Category 3 tropical storm or something like that to keep things interesting.

Fortunately, the fantastic bloggers who are posting about my book this week did not run into any of the same problems I did in getting their work done!
My friend Estelle Erasmus wrote a wonderful review of my book on her blog, Musings on Motherhood and Midlife. Estelle says, ".. this book makes you smile, more like guffaw, snort, spit out your
doughnut, breakfast bar as you laugh, while nodding with recognition…" You can read more of Estelle's review HERE.
Aliza Worthington, who is totally one of the nicest human beings on the planet, writes, "You don't have to even come close to having had the same experience as Tracy in order to feel exactly what she feels in long-distance sympathy and understanding. It is SO relatable." You can read more of Aliza's review by visiting her blog HERE.
Nicole of Red Lotus Mama can also relate to my book. She quit her cool job and moved to the suburbs of San Diego with a new baby where suddenly her idea of a big night was potty training. She says, "Those early years of first time motherhood are challenging and life altering, but you will never survive if you can't laugh at those over exaggerated moments." You can find more of Nicole's review here.
And finally, I have an excerpt from my book up on the website of The Today Show. Check out this sneak peak of Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir. How I Got Pregnant, Lost Myself, and Got My Cool Back in the New Jersey Suburbs" over on Today Books!
Don't forget to pick up a copy of Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir for yourself or another mom you love!!

I've long held the belief that people will only make exercise a daily part of their lives when they are ready. Offers of low monthly membership rates or a beautiful facility full of amenities won't mean anything to them unless they've already made the mental commitment that it's time to exercise. And no one can make members actually walk through your doors to exercise unless they are ready to make it a priority.
However, a recent study shows that creating actions to exercise may help people make a commitment to exercise and to improve their health. The study, "Effects of Directed Thinking on Exercise and Cardiovascular Fitness," was published in the Journal of Applied Biobehavioral Research. The authors are Laura L. Ten Eyck, Children's Medical Center Dallas; Dana P. Gresky, Corphealth Inc.; and Charles G. Lord, Texas Christian University. During the nine-week study, the researchers found that participants who created a list of actions to follow to get them started exercising maintained their exercise routine and improved their health more than the control group and the group that created a list of reasons to exercise.
We often hear that people need to know the benefits of exercise so they understand its importance to them. Knowing the reasons to exercise may play a part in moving people to action, but the study seems to show that just hearing the benefits of exercise isn't enough. Instead, people need concrete actions they can do to get them to exercise — and it's more effective if they create that list themselves. By doing so, people have a higher rate of recall of the actions and adherence to them, the researchers hypothesize. Participants in the study were students who either did not already work out, did not work out regularly or were just starting to exercise on a regular basis. Some of the actions that they listed were purchasing proper workout attire, setting goals, making a schedule, bringing a headset to listen to music and finding a workout friend. These actions may seem basic, but for people who have never exercised regularly, they are deserving of placement on an action list.
The authors then hypothesized about what would happen if regular exercisers were put through the same study. Based on results of a study about using directed thinking to improve study habits, the authors theorize that people who already work out would benefit even more from a list of actions than the people in their study.
Based on these findings, it's not hard to see why personal training has become a growing part of the health club business. Industry statistics show that members who participate in personal training are more likely to achieve their goals and are more likely to maintain their memberships. However, not everyone can afford personal training or are ready for personal training. What does that mean for you as a club owner? It may mean that you must re-work your club orientation for new members. Perhaps instead of just a tour of the facility and a quick review of the equipment, the orientation should involve time for new club members to create a list of actions that they can take to reach their goals. It would not take a lot of additional time on your part, but it could lead to club members who come more often, reach their goals and refer their friends. And those are actions that all club owners are ready to experience.

FOOD- THE DISH- New Brix mix: Café brings Tuscany to Pantops
After eight years running the funky little Brix Marketplace eatery on Route 53, owner Karen Laetare has moved on to bigger thing. On March 31, Laetare opened Brix Terrace Café, an Italian-inspired restaurant right next to Hallmark at Pantops Shopping Center. Needing room to grow her business, and with an offer from the shopping center to become a tenant, Laetare says it was time to make the leap.
"This is one of the hardest things I've ever done," she says, "but it's also exciting. The space here turned out beautifully. Inside feels like you're outside, like the back of an Italian Villa."
Laetare credits that look to Richard Coyte of Castle Hill Interiors. "We just connected, and he did a wonderful job of translating my vision for the space," she says. "I even put his name on the menu."
A self-taught cook who abandoned an early career in the hospital industry to pursue her passion, Laetare moved here 15 years ago and worked at HotCakes for six years before striking off on her own to start Brix. As she points out, Brix has always been a primarily women-run business, which is also true of the Café– with a few exceptions, she says.
"We had to hire a couple of guys in the kitchen," she laughs. "So it will be interesting to see what a little testosterone will do to the mix."
Laetare says the Café will serve the same Mediterranean/California-style food as the Marketplace (bruschetta, paninis, antipasti platters), including her homemade Italian pastries, only now people will have room to hang out and enjoy their meal. Although the place won't be open at night, Laetare hopes people will consider the Café as a place to have an after-work cocktail and a bite.
"I think we've created a great space for people on this side of town," she says. "Our Marketplace customers have really been impressed by the space... it's a great place to chill out."
Counting your beans
When you think of fast-food chains, you don't think of them having a lot of individual style or personality. That's usually left to hip local joints. However, Dish has been struck by how engaged Chipotle at the Barracks Road Shopping Center has been with the community.
First, they wowed us with their opening-day free burrito extravaganza, which had people lined up around the building and down the sidewalk. And speaking of sidewalks– in February, the City Planning Commission awarded Chipotle its Herman Key Jr. Access to the Disabled Award for extending its handicapped access across the access road at Barracks Road Shopping Center to the public sidewalk on Emmet Street, something the company was not required to do.
"This connection," wrote the Commissioners, "will continue to set an example for other businesses about the importance of connections that serve everyone."
Now the burrito-miesters have dreamed up a way for us to find some humor on Tax Day. If you order something from Chipotle on April 14 and 16, you'll be encouraged to save your receipt and fill out a "2006 BurritoEZ form." Then simply bring in your receipt and tax form on Monday, April 16 (tax day), and you'll get a free meal! Talk about a speedy refund!
Smoking ban ash-canned
Once again, "anti" smoking legislation in Virginia has gone up in smoke. On April 4, Governor Tim Kaine's proposed amendment to recently passed smoking legislation– which would have banned smoking in all Virginia restaurants– was extinguished in the House of Delegates by a 40-59 vote. The bill now goes back to Kaine, who's expected to veto the measure because it would eliminate the requirement that restaurants with more than 50 seats have a non-smoking section. So basically, after all those hours of legislating, nothing has changed.
The defeat was largely expected, given the fact that Richmond is home to tobacco giant Philip Morris (according to the RichmondTimes Dispatch, the company called smokers throughout Virginia asking them to contact legislators), but some say the close vote indicates that the legislation could rise from the ashes, and that a full ban on smoking in Virginia restaurants could be in our future. Then again, in a state where tobacco is king, that could be a pipe dream.
Karen Laetare hopes folks will chill at her new Brix Terrace Café on Pantops.

The review made this restaurant sound very interesting. May I suggest that in future restaurant reviews you include the restaurant's phone number, days open, hours open, street address (for those with nav systems in their cars) and a web site if the restaurant has one.
Bill S
Good idea, Bill S. We're looking forward to what we hope willbe many visits.

My mom, who had never seen me do a cooking demo before a large group, was able to watch me and kvell. I didn't share my usual story about the fact that the only home baked cakes I ever got growing up were the cake mixes mom made on Passover. I did like those brownies . . .
