Vertical Cable, CMB cited by UL as incorrectly using mark
PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. - Vertical Cable and Cable Manufacturing Business, companies white-labeling cabling manufactured overseas, were notified last week by UL that they are improperly displaying the UL mark, according to public notices (see Vertical and CMB. Specifically, Vertical's Cat-5e 350 MHz and CMB's Cat-6 550 MHz were identified.
"We've been notified,' acknowledged James Piguet, director of marketing for Vertical. "And we're working with the manufacturer to figure out if there is a problem. As soon as we do, we will devise an appropriate solution.'
UL discovered that Vertical "does not comply with the standard for safety for the United States and Canada,' said Mac McNeer, manager of corporate communications, "through a recurring market surveillance program, and through feedback from industry participants.'
For CMB, the notice does not mention safety, but simply says, "This cable is not authorized to bear the UL Mark or reference UL.'
Chris Badinelli, president of CMB, said the error on his company's end resulted from a misprint by the OEM manufacturer. "We were never meaning to claim to have a UL listing,' he said. Rather, it was the manufacturer overstepping its bounds.
In the opinion of the Communications Cable & Connectivity Association, an industry association comprising a number of cable manufacturers and distributors, these notices represent a new and important step on the part of UL.
"UL is to be commended for its industry leadership and for being the first testing agency to take additional steps to protect users from poor quality as well as the serious fire safety hazards from non-compliant cable being imported into North America,' said Frank Peri, executive director of the CCCA, in a prepared statement.
In a separate interview with Security Systems News, Peri reported he received a number of complaints about Vertical Cable from distributors and cable manufacturers. He said people reported having difficulty competing with them because of the pricing, and while sometimes that's just the fair market, in this case there is the belief that they're not compliant to the standards that they need to meet, which allows them to charge less and retain margin.
"CCCA is pleased to have been an important contributor to UL's development of improved, tougher quality assurance procedures, which led to this significant and decisive action,' Peri said in the statement. Specifically, Peri said UL's new focus on testing products in the field, rather than simply at the manufacturing plant, where UL testers could be anticipated, is very important.
McNeer said that these kinds of notices are issued "periodically.' A review of notices on the web site shows Vertical and CMB are the first cable manufacturers to be identified as improperly using the mark since "Siamese CCTY Coax Cable' was identified in November, manufacturer "unknown.' Last April, UL warned of counterfeit Systimax cable.

The deck is the heart of a back yard. It's where the family gathers for dinner, the perfect spot for grilling, a great place to hang out with friends and the ideal location for relaxing after a long day. Whether you're thinking of building a new deck or your old one needs resurfacing, be sure and choose the right decking product: choose real wood.
Building a Deck. Thinking of building a brand new deck? What a great way to enhance your back yard! According to the 2010-2011 Cost vs. Value Report from Remodeling magazine, homeowners can expect to recoup 72.8 percent (on average) of the cost of building a wood deck vs. only 66.2 percent if building with composites. Deck substructures are built using pressure-treated wood anyway; if it's strong and durable enough to hold up your deck, it's strong enough to actually be your decking surface.
Pressure-treated wood is a builder favorite and has been the number one decking material for decades. It's natural, real - and it looks fantastic.
Resurfacing a deck. If you already have a wood deck but it's more than 20 years old, consider a resurfacing project. This is where the decking surface is replaced, while the substructure remains. (It's always a good idea to have a decking professional check the entire deck for soundness.) Resurfacing is easy, and it's a great way to refresh your outdoor living areas without blowing your budget.
Maintaining a deck. Every building material designed for outdoor use requires maintenance; luckily, real wood decks are very easy to maintain. Once a year, check your deck to see if it needs cleaning or perhaps another coat of sealant. Perform the cup of water test: if a cup of water poured on the deck boards immediately soaks into the wood, it's time to apply water repellant.

Increasing your weight loss and improving your exercise program requires motivation, determination, and dedication. The three aspects work in tandem to get the best results. They provide the foundation for achieving every goal desired.
To become motivated and dedicated requires having support. This support is in the form of a workout partner joining the program with you. They will be there for you through the entire process offering support and critical advice when you are getting discouraged or lax. The person needs to be someone who knows what your goals are and can be supportive as well as positive.
For those of you who are currently members of a fitness center it's much easier for you to find the necessary support and advice. Make sure to utilize the trainers at your fitness centers. They are there to help provide guidance with your workout routines and also motivate you. They have the training and skill to help you achieve your goals.
If you don't belong to a fitness center and prefer to exercise outside, take the time to look around for people you know who also exercise outside or look for groups doing the same activities as you. Reach out to people to find that perfect workout partner. Most likely, the person is also seeking someone to help them with similar goals and will gladly reciprocate the support and advice.
It always helps to have a workout partner who shares your workout plan. Your partner is there for the times you are sweating and struggling. They will show you the compassion and understanding when you need it since they are also experiencing the same things as you. They know what it is like to have a goal, so they can encourage you when you need it the most.
Your workout partner will be someone you have things in common such as the goal and desires to change your diet. They need to be on the same weight loss path or they canpossibly cause complications with helping you to reach your weight loss goals. The compatibility of the person is critical if you are going to meet your goals. They have to be able to encourage you with positive support, guidance in times of need, and to be willing to push you when you do not want to continue reaching the goal.

Box Office Preview: 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Tracking for $65M-Plus Debut
UPDATED: The Marvel and Disney tentpole will play in more than 4,080 theaters, the widest August release in history; "It's much more of a space opera than a superhero movie," says director James Gunn.
Gunning for one of the top August openings of all time in North America, Guardians of the Galaxy is expected to open to at least $65 million this weekend, a strong start for Marvel Studios' new franchise.
Some believe director James Gunn's Guardians has a shot at approaching, or crossing, $70 million, although no one is placing any bets considering the steep downturn overall at the summer box office. If it does, it would eclipse the $69.2 million domestic debut of record-holder The Bourne Ultimatum on the same weekend in 2007. The No. 2 August title is Rush Hour 2, which opened to $67.4 million in 2001.
PHOTOS Titans of Comic-Con
The 3D tentpole is opening in a raft of international markets this weekend as well, including the U.K., Russia, Mexico and Brazil. It has been tentatively approved to play in China, but no date has been set.
The weekend's other new wide offering is James Brown biopic Get On Up, from The Help director Tate Taylor and starring Chadwick Boseman as the legendary godfather of soul. Brian Grazer's Imagine Entertainment produced the $30 million film with Mick Jagger. Universal is handling the release of Get On Up, which is expected to open in the low teens.
Guardians should help stem the decline at the North American box office, where summer revenue is down more than 20 percent, one of the steepest dips ever recorded. The critically acclaimed tentpole will unspool in more than 4,080 theaters, the widest August release ever (G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra played on 4,007).
Get On Up will roll out in 2,466 theaters and is likewise drawing glowing notices.
Guardians, starring a rag-tag group of unlikely galactic heroes, is the first in-house title from Marvel that isn't part of the Avengers universe and stars Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Lee Pace and Bradley Cooper, who voices the role of Rocket the raccoon. Vin Diesel, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close and Benicio del Toro also star.
PHOTOS 35 of 2014's Most Anticipated Movies
The film's tone is much different than the Avengers franchise, and is laced with humor. "It's much more of a space opera than a superhero movie," Gunn said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Hype around the movie has been so high that Marvel and Disney have already announced plans for a July 28, 2017, sequel, with Gunn returning to direct.
Guardians wasn't a cheap proposition and cost $170 million to produce.

PENTICTON - More art is in the future of retiring Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen Public Works Manager Doug French.
French will be retiring from his position at the end of March, when Roger Huston joins the regional district to take over the public works reins.
French has been with the RDOS for five years. He's been busy with water projects during his tenure, seeing the Okanagan Wastewater Treatment Plant go from design stage to commissioning, as well as taking the West Bench water system off the lake and connected to bulk water purchases from the Penticton treatment plant.
French also helped initiate the Similkameen River Watershed Plan, which is now into its third year and about to begin Phase three.
French plans to return to Squamish, where he worked prior to coming to the regional district. He plans to continue working with his art with the prospect of turning it into a second career. A number of his works currently decorate the walls of the regional district office.
French's replacement is Roger Huston, a professional with 22 years experience in government. He will be starting on March 30.
Huston formerly held senior management positions in public works with the City of Grand Forks and the Village of Lumby.
Upcoming projects for Huston will include continuing development of the Similkameen Watershed Plan in addition to the containment of landfill gas at Campbell Mountain Landfill.

text: SHARJAH: On the second death anniversary of Dr Abdullah Omran Taryam, former Minister of Justice and Minister of Education, who was co-founder and Chairman of Dar Al Khaleej for Press, Printing and Publishing, four of his close friends reminisce about their fond and memorable association with the legendary pioneer. They tell The Gulf Today they remember him every single moment, asking Allah to rest his soul in peace.Dr Yousif Al Hasan, a former ambassador and one of Dar Al Khaleej's founders, and the first editor in chief of Al Khaleej newspaper, said, "I miss Abdullah personally since our friendship has been for a very long time, throughout our journey in Al Khaleej newspaper and Al Shurooq magazine."He says that when he reads Al Khaleej newspaper every morning, he thinks of Dr Abdullah and his brother Taryam and their efforts to enlighten the national spirit and exhort the citizens to raise their voice on Arab issues. "Every morning I remember how we used to sit together and discuss journalistic issues and other events besides thinking about the future of Dar Al Khaleej," Dr Al Hasan remarks."I'm fully optimistic about Abdullah's sons and daughters, that they are for sure able to carry on his vision and mission in Arabic and national journalism, and to develop and react positively to various events and occasions." After two years of Abdullah's heart-breaking absence, may Allah rest his soul in peace and provide his wife Om Khalid, his sons and daughters with patience and mercy, he says.

How to instantly embarrass anyone who dares to put you in a headlock.

How to hit PROPERLY while causing MAXIMUM TRAUMA:
This is important because most people have no idea how EASILY YOU CAN BREAK YOUR HAND when hitting a human head (think "bowling ball with teeth").

and how to target these kicks for maximum damage by aiming at certain vital targets.
"Fight Stoppers" and other "dirty" ways to fight in CLOSE QUARTER COMBAT so that you can tie him up and hit him but he can't hit you back.
Real fights are often close-quarter conflicts. A lot of times you are just "bum rushed" in a parking lot and you don't get a chance to "get ready". So like it or not, almost every fight ends up in a clinch. AND YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO HERE! This section of the course will teach you how to execute simple fight stoppers from the clinch.

These moves work great but you need to know how to do them properly.
Why easy to use chokeholds are the best street moves and how you can master them.
The various chokeholds are the ultimate "fight ending" moves and absolutely must play a crucial role in any self-defense program. In fact, you'll learn why its a good idea to base your
whole self-defense strategy
around the choke. But there are two important things to know here, 1) how to do the actual chokes and 2) how to get the correct position to do so.
When you know how to "put a guy to sleep" correctly you literally have the power in your hands to neutralize any attacker –
no matter what size they are or even if they are doped up on PCP
How to choke a guy out
even if he is on top of you.
This surprise is perfect for the next thug who confidently thinks he has the advantage because you both fell and he landed on top.
How to get "fit and ready" for a real-life attack.
While the other videos in this course taught you the technique, here we'll show you how to get the size and athleticism.
Make no mistake about it; increased SIZE and ATHLETICISM are very important factors for winning real fights
Exactly what to do when a guy tackles you... and how to win with a simple move even if he does take you down.
And a whole lot more...
You'll be glad you know all of this every time you have to walk past some thug on the corner or stop at a gas station in a bad part of town.
"Face to face" confrontations like this can be extremely dangerous because this is where a "suckerpunch" can take you out in a instant.
In this free bonus video, I'll show you an extremely effective way to
shut the suckerpuncher down
so that you can
in these "face to face" arguments
without looking scared or intimidated
(This move works GREAT!)
To be prepared you need to see what you are up against. You need to look at the reality of fighting right square in the eye.
For this reason, we have included
very graphic videos
in this course of real life street fights so that you can see firsthand what street violence looks like (it's not pretty and it's not at like the movies). You need to see this in order to know where the moves we will show you fit in to the reality.

"These guys haven't been to an air show," said Tom Ullrich, a Bath resident, one of about 3,500 people to attend the second annual Aberdeen Air Show. Not only have Tom's three children never been to an air show, they've never been on an airplane. "They've been looking forward to this for quite a while," Tom said. The Ullrichs didn't go to the first Aberdeen Air Show, but no one could remember why. Nods and smiles were all that could be seen when Courtney, 10, Zach, 8, and Connor, 6, talked about the anticipation leading up to the show. Courtney couldn't say what she was looking forward to seeing the most - being her first time at an air show, she didn't know what to expect of the stunt planes. Aberdonian John Bormes flew his T-6 military plane over the crowd during the national anthem to open the show. Although the plane can't do many tricks, a flyby is a traditional act at air shows. Following Bormes' act was Aberdonian Wade Outka in his Pitts Special S1C biplane. As Outka strapped on his parachute - all aerobatic pilots wear parachutes - and climbed into his red and white plane, people lined the fence to watch his takeoff. With a trail of smoke, Outka was in the sky flipping and spinning to the cheers of many on the ground. The Aberdeen Area Modelaires took to the air after Outka, showing off their skills and flying experience. The flying club practice their maneuvers roughly two miles south of Melgaard Park. The small model planes can do all the tricks of a full-sized plane, but require nicer weather than a regular plane. Sunday's breezy weather was on the verge of maximum wind, a spokesman said. As Steve Falon of Sioux Falls took to the sky in his yellow Pitts Special S1S aerobatic biplane, the cheers and screaming returned on the ground. "It's upside down!" one child screamed. The Vanguard Squadron, based in Tea, performed formation flying with their three, 100 percent ethanol-powered airplanes. The group did similar maneuvers to the other acts, but the maneuvers were done in formation within 3 to 5 feet of each other, the announcer said. Finishing the air show was Jim Peitz of Pierre flying an Extra 300L, a high-powered plane that can reach speeds of up to 250 mph. Dani Roeker, who works at Quest Aviation and sits on the air show committee, said this year's air show was much better than last year. "Last year was a learning curve," she said. Roeker said the committee set a goal of attracting 4,000 people to the air show and preliminary numbers show about 3,500 actually showed up. She said changes to parking, the addition of four food vendors, a children's activity area and a fifth act all went over very well with the crowd. The only disappointment all day was the lack of static displays, she said. Because of mechanical problems and poor weather in the Twin Cities, not all the display aircraft were able to be at the show, she said. The Aberdeen Air Show was the second part of the Wheels and Wings weekend. The weekend began with Sizzlin' Summer Nights on Saturday and finished with the air show on Sunday. Georgia Smith, with the Aberdeen Downtown Association, estimated about 14,000 people attended the car show. There were 417 vehicles and 175 motorcycles on display.

Welcome to MyTestimonys Blog! Rev 12:11
Monday, April 24, 2017
Testimony Thursday
After you become born again and you have embraced prayers, fasting and living a holy life, the most important thing you want to embrace after that is seed sowing. If you will do exploits as a Christian you must trust God and use your faith to sow financial seeds and trust God to multiply what you have sown. When Dr Mike Murdock came to COZA last year, he called for a seed of $10,000. He shared his testimony of how God began to give him favor with men of stature who took his ministry to another level and how through that he now has over 100,000 monthly partners. I wanted that testimony but I didn't have $10,000 so I came out in faith. Never ever forget that God gives seed to a sower and He multiplies the seed sown. Around August of last year I had the $10,000 and I went to see Baba and placed it in his hands. He began to pray some dangerous prayers, one of the things he said was "let this $10,000 become change to you". I told him that I wanted expansion in my business and my own estate and many more. Looking back between then and now God has been faithful! $10,000 is no longer a lot of money, Sapphire Scents is expanding rapidly, investors and business partners are rolling and we have the land for Sapphire Estate. As if that was not enough, God began to mention my name in high places and men of stature began to look for me! The proudest moment of my life so far is coming on the 28th of April I will be talking at a dinner organized by Kings College Old Boys Association by Gods grace. If you are a Kings College Old Boy you will know that it is a privilege to address Kingsmen. Kings College has produced Nigeria's finest and greatest men and to be offered that platform is totally unforgettable to me. If you will begin to use your faith to trust God to give you seeds to sow you will watch your life shine like the sun. Don't listen to those fools who say nonsense about pastors and seed sowing I am a testimony and my results are undeniable. Beloved you need to embrace this part of salvation. You will see results like never before. You too can be a social media evangelist, kindly share and repost this Gospel of Jesus Christ so that others can be blessed just like you have been blessed. Thank you for reading.

C7 Corvette Overview
A much anticipated C7 Corvette is in the works to be released in 2012 as the 2013 model. Because the fine details of this car are still under wraps, experts and reviewers are taking their best stab at what the car will look and act like when finally released to the masses.
Styling – The C7 will become the new badge of the ZR1, bringing a similar look and feel to the new C7. This styling will still boast the front engine placement, as the mid-engine concept is too expensive to build. This design will forgo the retractable headlights for a more streamlined look. The new Corvette will be in a standard price range to keep sales steady. Chevy continues to sell about 30,000 Corvettes every year and wants to avoid a major price jump, as may be caused by an engine placement move.
Drivetrain – While the name Corvette and V8 are synonymous, there are other options being considered, including a diesel and a V6 twin-turbo. The diesel 4.5 liter is less likely and the V6 is more likely to make a show. The company's version of a twin turbo V6 consists of a direct injection 3.6 liter DOHC V6 which would put out about 400 HP, not too far off from the V8. Don't worry, while the V6 may be the base model engine, a V8 will still be an option.
Weight – While the current style is already pretty light, much lighter in fact than its competitors the Viper and the Porsche 911, this model will likely see some additional lightening, with lighter materials used to increase fuel efficiency. One idea being thrown around is to get rid of the steel frame and replace it with an entirely aluminum frame. It will likely continue using fiberglass panels, as the use of carbon fiber panels would drive the price up.
Fuel Efficiency – All car manufacturers are working on methods of fuel efficiency, even in sports models. Through a variety of developments in fuel efficiency for hybrids, GM isn't too worried about the Corvette this year. The new laws regarding emissions regulate the fleet of a company and not individual models. Because Corvette is only two percent of its entire fleet, a lack of change with this model will not affect its overall changes. For now, the Corvette will maintain its current MPGs based on the engine you prefer.
Overall – The Corvette will see some styling changes, but will not be a shocking change from the current model. The basic setup and pricing system will likely remain in place, helping the 2012 C7 Corvette stay competitive. It will see a change in the base engine, but will still offer an upgrade for those who want to maintain the level of power they're used to.
The 2012 C7 Corvette may become the new badge for the ZR1, but it will offer its version of what the Corvette has always been. Though minimal changes will be made to the basics of the Corvette, it keeps in check with what Corvette lovers already relish about the car and allows for styling improvements as well.

Success Academy is comprised of a series of charter schools focused on delivering positive results in an educational environment. These schools strive to give children from various social and economic backgrounds the opportunity to attend college. Success Academy charter schools provide free education for children in the New York area including special needs children. On average, the majority of children admitted into these schools come from low-income families. The teachers and administrative leaders associated with these schools believe in taking ownership of their actions to ensure each child receives the best possible education.
At Success Academy the focus on quality education begins at the elementary level. Not only is the curriculum designed to give elementary students a head start on their path to college, but the schools also incorporate elements that help provide young children with positive feedback. On the elementary level, the curriculum focuses on providing subjects in a manner that children will find educational and enjoyable. The school encourages children to question what they learn and aids in the development of talents through activities designed to allow artistic expression or problem-solving skills. Students receive positive feedback in the form of digital recognition with personal accounts and emojis.
The charter schools that make up Success Academy continue to provide positive feedback and encouragement throughout the middle and high school years. Middle school students begin to make the transition from concrete thinking to abstract thinking. During this time students receive the type of training that will help them get ready for college. The middle and high school years also offer a wide range of electives that consist of activities such as photography, dance, robotics and chess. In addition to the college focused courses available at the high school level, Success Academy also provides select students the opportunity to take advantage of internships and international trips.

Today, Peggy McKay Shinn '85 is known for her achievements in journalism and her sports enthusiasm — she is a four-time Harold Hirsch award winner and contributor to publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Mountain Sports and Living and the Boston Globe, just to name a few.
During the early eighties, Shinn was like many of us — she enjoyed skiing and rowing crew, has fond memories of studying with her fellow geology majors and was adored by professors and friends alike, especially, to quote retired Professor of Geology Edward Belt, for "her sense of humor." Her dedication to athletics stunned her roommate Tracy Johnson '85, who recalls that she "could not believe [Shinn] was always up for" her early morning practices. This dedication continues to stun many of her peers today. There was always some part of Shinn that wanted to be a journalist because she always loved writing, but back then, Shinn was simply an Amherst College student and still a bit unsure of what lay in her future.
A New Kind of Athlete
Shinn's interest in sports led her to the College's student newspaper, The Amherst Student.
"I technically wasn't on the newspaper staff," Shinn explained. "I just covered ski races, so I was kind of freelancing for the paper."
Shinn's older sister and current bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal in Atlanta, Betsy McKay '83, was on the paper as well. Deciding not to follow in her sister's shadow, Shinn focused on competing in college sports, majoring in geology instead of English and discovering her own path.
After graduation, Shinn headed west, where she took up bicycle racing and mountain biking. Shinn described her twenties as her "floundering" and "dabbling in grad school." She headed to Colorado, deciding that it might be nice to teach geology, and began studying for a Masters of Arts in Teaching at Colorado College. While in Colorado, Shinn also took up powder skiing and began competing (and winning) in grueling bicycle races like the Leadville 100. Extremely modest, Shinn would simply say she likes bicycling, especially mountain biking, and leave it at that.
In 1990, Shinn received her Masters before pursuing another Masters of Science in Environmental Studies at the Colorado School of Mines after realizing she "didn't like teaching adolescents." While in grad school, Shinn held various jobs, including waitressing and tutoring. Upon graduation in 1993, Shinn went to Vermont, her home state, and finally began writing.
Revamping Team USA
Back in Vermont, Shinn decided to cover skiing events for the local newspaper. The exposure gave rise to positions covering for local magazines and much more.
"It was a case of networking," Shinn recalled. "One of the editors I worked for recommended me to another who was looking for freelance journalists for a new project."
The new project, as it turned out, was innovating the United States' Olympic Committee's (USOC) website, TeamUSA.org. In 2008, Shinn and fellow freelancer, Aimee Berg, were asked to write more than just short blurbs and statistics about the competing athletes — they were assigned "actual journalistic profiles," according to Shinn. Berg recounts that the two "hit it off right away." Even though they filed their articles from separate locations, they covered the 2010 Vancouver and 2012 London Olympics together and remain online pen pals five years later. Although Shinn could not cover the 2008 Beijing Olympic games, she will cover the 2014 Sochi Olympics, making the event the third Olympic games she has covered during her journalism career.
The position opened up a wide array of opportunities for Shinn, leading her to cover not only sporting events for TeamUSA.org, but also to contribute to major ski magazines, such as Ski and Skiing, and even to become a contributing editor for Ski Racing Magazine for many years. The Harold Hirsch award, an annual award presented by the North American Snowsports Journalism Association, has been received by Shinn a total of four times for her phenomenal ski writing.
Freedom of Freelance
In addition to her many contributions to specialized sports publications, Shinn also pitches ideas to other publications, such as the Wall Street Journal, and completes feature pieces on a monthly basis for TeamUSA.org. Shinn describes herself as a freelance writer, which means she works for herself. She admits that although she enjoys the flexibility and being home after her daughter's school day is complete, she is not always so keen on the life of a freelance writer. Shinn has to pitch her stories to editors, sometimes ones she is not familiar with, since she is not tied to a staff position at a paper.
"It feels like being the ugly girl asking the football player to the prom," Shinn jokingly explained.
Since the journalism industry is becoming more and more competitive, freelancing is a difficult career in which to make a living. The decrease in paper publications and increase in online materials has given consumers more access to such resources, but has also decreased the number of employees needed and the amount that can be paid as salary.
"I could write one article for an online company and they would offer me $50, which is no way to support yourself," Shinn said. "Honestly, I could not be a freelance writer without the support of my husband."
Shinn's husband, Andrew Shinn, is a fellow Amherst College graduate of the class of 1985.
Eye of the Storm
Finances aside, being a freelance writer has still given Shinn more time to delve into side-projects. One such project was the publication of the Hurricane Irene-based book Deluge: Tropical Storm Irene, Vermont. The book focuses on the path of the 2011 Hurricane Irene and the aftermath of its unexpected destruction across little towns in Vermont.
Shinn's sister, Betsy McKay, needed reporters to cover the event, since McKay was responsible for the North Carolina coast coverage of the storm. Because Irene's path was not predicted to travel so far north, and because the wreckage had blocked many of Vermont's roads, there was no way someone from the outside could get in. Enter Peggy Shinn, whose permanent residence is in Vermont with her husband and daughter. She was the first to inform her sister of the severity of the damage by posting photos to Facebook.
"Before she went on Facebook, I know she thought I must have been exaggerating," Shinn said, laughing.
Since Shinn was close enough to the action, she offered to cover the event. She hopped onto her mountain bike to easily navigate through the wreckage on the roads. Though the initial coverage for the WSJ was complete, Shinn looked at the damage as more than a single newspaper piece. Shinn decided that "the government could use much more than an article — this warrants a book."
When asked if the process of writing the book was significantly more difficult than writing articles, Shinn replied that writing the book was like writing "a series of articles," and expressed gratitude for her editor's aid.
"I was used to telling stories about athletes that were inspiring, so many of the stories [in Deluge] were inspiring but also very sad," Shinn remarked. "These people lost so much. I felt very self-conscious about taking their time."
Though the book, dedicated to Shinn's parents, was just recently released this past August, it is already receiving rave reviews. Sue Mintor, Vermont's Irene Recovery Officer praises Deluge, saying:
"Peggy Shinn presents a riveting account of Tropical Storm Irene's devastating toll on Vermont and the heroic response of its people. By weaving together vignettes of the disaster in communities across the state, she deftly portrays the Irene story: the pain of loss; the strength of community; and the fierce determination to rebuild. Shinn's telling of the tragic yet transformational story of Vermont's road to recovery presents a valuable lesson in what can happen when a fractured state becomes united by a common purpose."
Shinn has also received glowing reviews from The Burlington Press, San Jose Mercury News and Boston's online magazine The Arts Fuse.
The risks Shinn took in covering the story and in many of her athletic pursuits truly demonstrate her bravery.
As her former Amherst classmate, Mark Boryta '85, remarked about Shinn, "She will go anywhere and do anything for an experience, despite the fact it may terrify her."
The rewards clearly outweigh the process.
Down Time
In the midst of monthly articles, book signings and anticipating the 2014 Sochi Olympics, Shinn somehow finds time to relax. However, her version of relaxation is quite different from many of ours. Although she enjoys spending time with her husband and attending her daughter's soccer games, she also enjoys continuing to learn yoga, walking and "petting my cat," as she jokes. "I rarely have free time."
It's hard to imagine how Shinn can stay so active, writing and mountain biking, without burning herself out, but if her impressive list of contributions to journalism is any indication, it seems to work for her.
Peggy - you rock! Keep inspiring us.

With more than 30,000 commercial printing companies in the US today, how can procurement managers decide which printing company to partner with?
Here's some solid advice for evaluating potential partners – and it can all be done by visiting web sites, discussing prospective printers with colleagues, and making a call to your short list of contenders.
These are the top 6 areas you should focus on:
- Capabilities. Printers differ widely in their capabilities, and it's not easy to tell companies apart just from their web sites. Some are small shops that cater to walk-in traffic. Some are trade printers. Some are print brokers or managers who don't have their own manufacturing facilities.
Most commercial printers do both offset (conventional) and digital printing. But every company's unique. Spend time on a printer's web site and speak with an account representative to appreciate a company's capabilities.
Start with the obvious: your needs. The types and quantities of materials, typical frequency and schedule, level of complexity and sophistication, and range of services you need all come into play here. A company who only needs stationery once a year would look for a very different printer than a company who needs 500,000 personalized and integrated direct mail campaigns every month.
Look for "Capabilities," "Solutions," or "What We Do" when you visit a printer's web site. These sections should describe in plain English the full breadth of services available. If you have experience working with printers, check out the "Equipment List," which will tell you if that printer has the hardware and software that can accommodate your projects.
Some printers cater to certain industries (pharmaceuticals, higher education, healthcare, financial services, nonprofit, etc.) and list them on their site. If your industry isn't listed, however, don't presume a printer would be a 'bad fit.'
- Best-in-Class Quality Printing. Having certain equipment – or an impressive web site – is no guarantee of a printer's quality. You need to judge for yourself.
Ask to see samples. Although you can start by searching on a web site (look for "Gallery," "Our Work," or "Case Studies"), there's nothing better than actual work. When you meet with a printer, ask him or her to bring samples that represent their capabilities.
If your industry has specific or stringent print requirements, ask to see samples of work a printer's done for someone in your field. And find out if the company's won any awards for their printing lately.
- Tenure. The print industry's changed significantly in recent years. Many companies have been acquired by others or closed their doors. It's important to find a printer who has been in business for a good amount of time. This speaks to their experience and financial stability.
Determine from their web site and through conversations how a printer's evolving and keeping current with new technologies. A printer who invests in new equipment and technology is the type of partner you want: one who's moving forward.
- Customer Service. Look for a print company that has a record of putting customers first – and ask how they do this. Verbiage on a web site may express a customer-centric philosophy, but you need to discuss this with prospective printers and other customers.
If you don't know other customers, get a few references from the printer and ask them the following:
– How responsive is a printer's service and sales reps?
– How quickly are your emails or voice messages returned?
– Is this company consultative in their approach?
– How does this printer resolve issues?
– How are you treated at press OKs?
– Does this printer provide customer education?
– Do you have any hesitation whatsoever in recommending this printer?
Find out if you'll be assigned a customer service rep (CSR) and how long that person's been in the industry and at the company. Ask what resources a printer has available for customers.
- Collaboration. Look for a print company that has a history of collaborating with customers, not one who'll make all the decisions without regard to your needs. Every customer is unique. Regardless of your level of print sophistication, you want to work with a printer who's sensitive to your needs and can work with your company's workflow and procedures. Find a printer who listens more than lectures.
- Competitive Pricing. After you've done your due diligence in evaluating a print company and you're satisfied that a printer could accommodate your requirements, ask the printer and a few others to show you pricing based on jobs you will be doing. If you vetted your potential printers properly, the prices you receive should be in the same ballpark. (If they're not, it's a red flag. It could mean that a printer doesn't have the right equipment for your projects.) Make sure that you know what's included in an estimate. Such bid packages should be very detailed.
Use these 6 guidelines when evaluating a potential print company. Don't be afraid to ask printers a lot of questions and describe the range of products and services your company needs. Choose correctly, and you'll have a creative partner who'll work hard to make you successful.
It's not like us to brag, but we have broad range of capabilities and many years of experience producing top-quality print. You can read more about that here.

When I heard them praying for the victims in Boston, I turned to Facebook, where naturally people were posting left and right about the tragedy of the Boston Marathon.
I am so saddened to hear about such a thing happening, especially at such a usually happy event, and one of international, not just USA, gathering, and even more saddened to hear about the death of an eight year old boy, and of so many injuries.
I don't know what this means for America, but I do know that this is another life changing event in our history, much like 9/11. It is an event that will forever change the way we look at the Boston Marathon, and of any large gatherings I believe.
I usually *try* to post every Tuesday and Friday to keep some consistency, but I felt that it was important to pay respect to the victims and not draw attention away from this event (and quite frankly I had no more motivation to be in the kitchen). As much as we want to focus on the good in the world (and I think we should), I also believe we need to realize how big this event is, and how it will forever change our lives, sad as that may be.
I bought some blood oranges over the weekend, with all intention of making something with them and posting it this week. They now seem tainted, and it would be of great disrespect, I think, to make and post anything with the word "blood" in it. So instead, I made one of my new favorite lunches.
I am thinking now that I am just a cheese snob and I want to make sure I have really good ingredients in my grilled cheese sandwiches, as well as everything else.
For this one, I made sure everything was freshly made, and no cheating with my bacon like I did in my last grilled cheese.
I even stepped it up a notch. I fried my bacon in my pan, and then, listen to this guys, I grilled the sandwich RIGHT in the bacon fat. ohemmmgoodness
There is nothing but awesomeness in here.
Even though I am a cheese snob, at the moment, I wasn't enough of one to leave the house and go get any fancy cheese. So, instead, I went with the ooey gooey goodness of Mozzarella. You get plenty of flavors from the bacon, mushrooms, and bacon-fat-soaked-bread that you don't need no fancy cheese in heeeeah.
So today, along with everyday for the rest of my life, I want to eat grilled cheese sammies like this one, and I want to pray for tragedies like the one on Monday, and pray that they never happen again, but more than that, that God stays in control of this world.
Join me and #PrayForBoston

Finsbury Park is deep into Arsenal country so the area is flooded with red shirts when the North London premiership team is playing. Our Finsbury Park escorts are obviously very busy at this time so it is worth making a note of when matches are due to be played at the local Emirates stadium just so that you can plan your encounter without any issue.
Finsbury Park is a cosmopolitan area with a diverse population, the largest of which is Algerian. With so many students in the area the weekend scene is non-stop with warehouse parties and late-night action to keep even the most energetic occupied. Of course, most of our clients tend to prefer their after dark encounters to include our Finsbury Park escorts in a more private and intimate setting and if this sound appealing to you then there are plenty of hotels and private rent apartments in which to entertain your date.
Being so close to Islington and the city, Finsbury Park is an ideal bolt hole for aspiring city professionals. It has a history of neglect and poverty however since so many professionals have been priced out of neighbouring areas, Finsbury park is on the up. At Boss London escorts, we can always tell when an area is becoming more gentrified as the demand for our beautiful companion's soars. Our Finsbury Park escorts are popular with those who live in the area as well as visitors and many of our clients enjoy regular encounters every week.
Stroud Green Road is the area to visit for its social scene. Here you will find plenty of choice in gastropubs such as the Noble and the Old Dairy. If you are looking for something a little heavier and more clubby, then it is a trip into the city as Finsbury Park tends to only cater to the more casual clubbing needs of the student. It is summer time that Finsbury Park comes alive and our escorts in Finsbury park love the fact that there are so many festivals to enjoy, assuming of course that the weather is kind. The biggest Irish festival outside of Eire is held here and people of all nationalities come to enjoy the 'Feis'. Our escorts in Finsbury Park certainly enjoy this event and aim to attend every year. They have some big music names playing here so tickets do tend to go quickly so it is worth booking in advance if you can.
Even though Finsbury Park offers limited entertainment once the pubs close, our escorts Finsbury Park have the answers. Our outcall escort agency is happy to make a booking so that the lady of your choice can visit you at home or you can spend the evening together out for a meal and then go back to your place for a desert with a difference. Unlike other areas of London, Finsbury Park is very laid back and unpretentious and perfect if you simply want to follow your desires rather than sticking to a rigid schedule. Why not give us a call and we can fulfil your last minute booking with a choice of wonderful beauties to spend time with.

This bowl dates from 1969. It was painted by Irene Kerton who worked at Poole from 1968 to 69 and the 7" diameter footed bowl shape (no. 39) was only made between 1969 and 1970.
It was listed on eBay just before Xmas and in a bit of a bad run it arrived along with some other pots with damage, in this case, with a hairline crack. It's quite possible that the seller didn't know it was damaged and with enough on over the holidays, and it been the season of good will, I didn't bother to quibble this time.

Talking, Drawing, Writing
Lessons for Our Youngest Writers
Martha Horn and Mary Ellen Giacobbe
Year: 2007
Media: 276pp/paper
Grade Range: K-3
"This is a book about responding to children. A book about listening and noticing children. The first move is not the teacher's. Rather, the starting place is the child's practice through language, drawing, and storytelling. This requires great patience, and I was struck by the time markers that breathed through the text. How long does a teacher wait? It could be ten seconds, twenty, thirty—long enough to tell the child you have all the time in the world to listen. This is a book that teachers have been waiting for but didn't know they needed."
—Donald Graves
Boy Writers
Reclaiming Their Voices
Ralph Fletcher
Year: 2006
Media: 176 pp/paper
Grade Range: K-12
Writing test scores indicate that boys have fallen far behind girls across the grades. In general, boys don't enjoy writing as much as girls. What's wrong? How can we do a better of job of creating "boy-friendly" classrooms so their voices can be heard?
Inside Words
Tools for Teaching Academic Vocabulary, Grades 4-12
Janet Allen
Year: 2007
Media: 128 pp/paper + CD ROM
Grade Range: 4-12
We've learned a lot in recent years about the important role vocabulary plays in making meaning, yet many teachers still struggle with vocabulary instruction that goes beyond weekly word lists. Effective vocabulary instruction is particularly vital in the content areas, where the specialized language used by "insiders" often creates a barrier to understanding for those new to the subjects. In Inside Words, Janet Allen merges recent research and key content-area teaching strategies to show teachers how to help students understand the academic vocabulary found in textbooks, tests, articles, and other informational texts.
Everyday Editing
Inviting Students to Develop Skill and Craft in Writer's Workshop
Jeff Anderson
Year: 2007
Media: 176 pp/paper
Grade Range: 4-8
Editing is often seen as one item on a list of steps in the writing process—usually put somewhere near the end, and often completely crowded out of writer's workshop. Too many times daily editing lessons happen in a vacuum, with no relationship to what students are writing.

BURLINGTON, Vt. — Federal prosecutors in Vermont say two shopping centers have resolved complaints alleging they violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by not providing adequate parking and other services.
Morrisville Shopping Plaza, in Morrisville, and Grand Union shopping plaza, in Johnson, were the subject of complaints they didn't provide adequate parking for the disabled.
In the Morrisville case, the plaza was accused of having inadequate access areas for disabled patrons, lack of van-accessible parking spaces, inappropriate siting of spaces, inappropriate siting of shopping cart corrals and inaccessible parking spaces. Its owner, Murphy Realty Co., agreed to fix the problems.
Grand Union was alleged to lack van-accessible parking, signage for parking spaces and inadequate access areas for disabled patrons. U.S. Attorney Tristram Coffin says owner Pomerleau Real Estate agreed to remedy the problems.

Ellen Hopkins Quotes About HomeQuotes about: Home
you come home, and everyone talks at once and everyone asks questions, but no one waits for the answers.Instead they talk about themselves, what they've been up to, what they're going to do next, as if you're a photo on the wall.And then they talk to one another, forgetting you've jsut flown in, forgetting you're in the backseat, forgetting they've already said it all.
crawling up into daddy's lap when dad was still DADDY nodding my head against his chest soaking in the comfort of his heart LISTENING to the thump...thump somewhere beneath muscle and breastbone I remember his arms their sublime ENCIRCLING and the shawdow of his voice "I love you, little girl. Put away your bad dreams. Daddy's here" I put them away, Until Daddy became my nightmare that one that came HOME from work everyday and instead of picking me up, chased me far far away
I felt angry, frustrated. I felt I didn't belong, not in my church, not in my home, not in my skin. Amidst the chaos, i felt alone, in need of a friend instead of a sister, someone detached from my world. The "woman's role" theory disgusted me. I would soon be a woman, and I knew I could never perform as expected. I was tired of my mom's submission to her religion, to her husband's sick quest for an heir, to his abuse. I was sick of my dad, of reaching for him as he fell farther away from us and into the arms of Johnnie WB.
At Last It's a perfect winter day. No wind. No Arctic freeze. Cloudless azure sky. A day to fly. Snow drapes the mountain like ermine, fabulous feather- light powder coaxing me to flee the confines of my room, brave the mostly plowed road up to the closest ski resort. To run from the cloying silence connected Mom and Dad, into encompassing stillness far away from city dirt and noise Far above suburban gridlock. Far beyond the grasp of home.
In fact, since the accident, Mom doesn't love anyone. She is marble. Beautiful. Frigid. Easily stained by her family. What's left of us anyway. We are corpses. At first, we sought rebirth. But resurrection devoid of her love has made us zombies. We get up every morning, skip breakfast, hurry off to work or school. For in those other places, we are more at home. And sometimes we stagger beneath the weight of grief, the immensity of aloneness.

Most dance companies go out of their way to keep the gender balance evenly split, but by doing the opposite, the BalletBoyz have produced something intriguingly special. Ten men, no women, yet this is no testosterone-driven display of machismo. Instead, given the chance to exhibit the full spectrum of qualities that reside in us all, the male dancers are at once muscular, powerful, tender and graceful.
BalletBoyz: Life | King's Theatre, Edinburgh | Rating ****
This full package of physical and emotional sensibilities is given the perfect vehicle in Pontus Lidberg's Rabbit. A name the Swedish choreographer didn't chose superficially – the men really are dressed as rabbits, or at least their heads. Which sounds daft but is actually deeply moving.
Rolling on and off the stage under a curtain, the men shift allegiances. Sometimes only one bares his head, struggling to belong in a rabbit-filled world. Other times over half of them display their human frailty. This fluidity of character is matched by Lidberg's choreography and the Górecki score he sets it to, with gentle partner-work, frenetic movement and the odd witty gesture all part of the mix.
Javier de Frutos is alive and well, but the central conceit of Fiction is his recent demise due to falling scenery. And so the scene is set for a darkly humorous voyage into the hitherto unknown world of the danced obituary. Voiced by Jim Carter, Derek Jacobi and Imelda Staunton, and danced with athletic gusto, this joyous piece finds the dancers working out their grief via a ballet barre. Jostling for space one minute, in perfect synch the next – just like life.

WORK OF ART: This ancient Byzantine Nativity picture, Mosaics of the Capella Palatina in Palermo, Sicily, has survived as a fresco made from coloured glass and stone fragments, on a high wall, and hence not subject to damp or vandals. Dated 1150 AD, the artist is simply labelled as Master of the Palace Chapel. Mary and Jesus are central in this composite picture, surrounded by singing angels, shepherds with gifts, the Three Wise Men, a perturbed Joseph waking from his dream of danger, and Salome and the midwife.

Creative come out blasting with new Sound Blaster products at PAX AU
PAX Australia 2015 - One of my oldest memories of Creative is using the Sound Blaster AWE 64 sound card back in the days of Wing Commander, but the company walked us through their booth at PAX Australia 2015 this year in Melbourne, impressing us with their latest headsets and audio products.
The company has launched its new Sound BlasterX range, with the highest end model in the H7. We tested out both the H7 and the more mid-range H5 model with some impressive results. The audio range and sound were great, with more than impressive bass levels. CS:GO was being played on the headset, and the explosions and gun fire sounded quite good for a pair of headsets priced at under $200.
Not only were the headsets impressive, but the packaging that Creative has used will make the Sound BlasterX products look great on retail shelves.
Creative also now hae the Pro-Gaming P5 high-performance in-ear solution, with 95% noise isolation - and again, some slick packaging.

BUSINESS, schools and individuals pulled out all the stops to support homeless people this Christmas.
Donations to Worthing Churches Homeless Projects included warm clothes and sleeping bags from Symmonds and Reading estate agents and festive cakes from Chatsmore Catholic High School.
Over the Christmas period, 58 people were fed in the charity's hostels each night and around 20 people had lunch at St Clare's Day Centre in Worthing on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. There was also a Christmas meal at the Littlehampton Breakfast Club.
Rachel Blair, community fundraiser, said: "These gifts from local companies and schools make all the difference at this time of year.
"We are able to give each client a Christmas gift bag only because of the donations the community so generously give.
"The coats and jumpers are much needed as even with the night shelter running, if people are out and about in the day they need warm, dry layers.
"It is very humbling to see how generous people can be, not just at Christmas but throughout the year, and we really are so grateful."
Staff at Symmonds and Reading, in Chatsworth Road, encouraged customers to doante coats, jumpers and sleeping bags. The team presented a huge pile to the charity, which used them to stock up its day centre supplies.
Pupils at Chatsmore, in Goring Street, baked cupcakes for the hostels and packaged up gift bags for residents.
Sue Stevens, fundraising manager said: "The children had taken so much care to individually decorate their cakes and their gift bags, making them a really personalised gift."
Worthing mayour Michael Donin visited some of the 188 volunteers at St Clare's on December 17 and thanked the breakfast club team for its ongoing commitment.
He then went to the charity shop in Montague Street, where he met with shop and van assistant volunteers.
Volunteer co-ordinator Abi Harley said: "We really could not continue doing the work of the charity without the fabulous volunteers who give up so much of their time to help men and women on their journey back into their own accommodation.
"We have a variety of volunteering roles and are always looking to create new roles when people approach us with different skills.
"It was so nice the mayor was able to thank some of the volunteers for their hard work, we are truly blessed to have such a committed volunteer team all across the charity."

Both will bring quality and experience at Ryman Premier League level to a young Hillians squad Chapman is assembling for the coming season.
Chapman said of his new signings: "Jay played for Met Police last year and is a much respected defender. He has proved over the years his worth at this level and higher. Dane is a forward with pace and great delivery, which all teams need, and is something we lacked last year in the final third."
Ian continued: "We will be announcing more additions to the squad in the next week or so."

My daughter, Madelyn, officially turns 7 years old tomorrow, November 22nd. My, how fast they grow! It seems like just yesterday I was planning her 6th Hello Kitty birthday party. This year, we decided on a little chef birthday theme.
I made the invitations to look like little chef hats out of felt. In it, I included an index card that read the details of the party like a recipe.
We made vanilla cupcakes from scratch and personal pizzas. As expected, it was a little messy but proved to be a really fun time! Here is a brief rundown of the party.
When each child arrived, I led them to a table with their own apron and chef hat.
The children were encouraged to decorate their hat and apron with fabric markers while waiting for the other children to arrive.
During the party, I played a playlist of songs that were mostly about food:
- Le Festin (Ratatouille soundtrack)
- The Coffee Song (Frank Sinatra)
- A Bushel and Peck (Julie and Julia soundtrack)
- All that Meat and No Potatoes (Fats Waller)
- Juila's Theme (Julie and Julia soundtrack)
- Beans and Cornbread (Louis Jordan & The Tympany Five)
- Ham 'N' Eggs (A Tribe Called Quest)
- Tea for Two (Ella Fitzgerald)
- Yes, We Have no Bananas (Louis Prima)
- That's Amore (Dean Martin)
- Special Order (Ratatouille soundtrack)
- The Pasta Song (John Riggio)
- Be Our Guest (Beauty and the Beast)
Once they were all done decorating, they put on their aprons and hats and headed over to the "cupcake station", where they would make vanilla cupcakes from scratch. Before starting, I asked the children, "What is the first thing you do before you start cooking?" Two of the young chefs knew the answer, which, of course, was... wash your hands! We then went through each of the ingredients on the recipe card to make sure they were all laid out and measured properly. We discovered, by design, that the milk was missing! Each child took a turn carrying out the recipe directions. I taught them little techniques and tricks along the way, like how to level out flour, how to get egg shell out easily, etc. They were amazed how the batter's texture and color would change with the addition of each ingredient.
After we finished making the batter, we put the cupcakes in the oven and got to work on our personal pizzas. Each child was given a small ball of pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper that had their name written on it. They rolled out the dough with their own rolling pins into whatever shapes and sizes they wanted.
I then placed out a muffin pan filled with pizza toppings in each well and they were encouraged to decorate their pizzas using as many of the toppings as they wanted.
Some of the children preferred plain cheese and others got really creative!
By the time they were done decorating their pizzas, I had enough time to remove the cupcakes to cool and up the oven temperature for the pizzas. I then placed the pizzas in the oven and they played the pin the cherry on the cupcake followed by spaghetti, spaghetti, meatball! (duck, duck, goose). The pizzas were done cooking, so we took a break and ate them along with snacks and pink lemonade.
Next, it was time to decorate their homemade cupcakes. I think licking the frosting was their favorite part!
We then sang happy birthday. The birthday girl made a wish and blew out the candle on her very own cupcake.
The kids got a kick out of playing hot potato with an actual hot potato. We then did a pinata and they used their chef hats to hold the candy that fell out. Gifts were opened and family and friends were thanked for both their presents and their presence.
I handed out to each child a gift bag. Inside of a mixing bowl, I placed a personalized recipe book that included the recipes we cooked at the party along with blank recipe cards for the future, an oven mitt, a wooden spoon, their personalized chef hat and apron, and a rolling pin.
We had a great time! I highly recommend this party theme for those of you with children who are interested in cooking and/or baking. Children of all ages love getting their hands into ingredients and making stuff with them. Some other food ideas for a chef party could be homemade soft pretzels (children could make shapes out of them), salad on a stick, cookies, meatballs, tacos and fruit kabobs. There are so many options!
