OUT NOW – Meaghan's second album, Creature Comforts, is now available for streaming and download on Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify, CDBaby, Apple Music, and all the other platforms! Physical merchandise (vinyl and CD) is available here:
Praised for her "alarming tour-de-force intensity" (The Examiner) and "impossibly beautiful but in no way forgiving" songs (The Deli), Meaghan Burke frequently performs her own music as a soloist as well as with the bands/ensembles The Rhythm Method, Forever House, Loose Lips Sink Ships, and Cheating on New York. Drawing heavily on her experience "commuting" between her geographical homes of Vienna and New York, as well as her various musical homes, Meaghan writes haunting, festively dark songs, part art, part pop, with witty, macabre lyrics and killer riffs. With inspirations ranging from Nirvana to Cole Porter to Anton Webern, she tells stories of bedbugs, bedfellows, and the apocalypse, wedding her sundry influences of Brechtian cabaret, 1990s grunge, old-school blues, and avant-garde contemporary music. Her debut solo album, "Other People's Ghosts," was released in 2010; she recently finished recording her second album, "Creature Comforts," in New York and Vienna, featuring her favorite collaborators from both sides of the pond. This album was released in May 2017.
"There is something terribly wrong with calling Meaghan Burke a songwriter. Like vodka, the more you question the effects, the blurrier they become. Meaghan Burke is not an artist whose musically over-educated past is a primer for making marketable pop music. Her sound embraces the odd nuances contained in love affairs with free improvisation, lingering music school sadism, a career geographically split between New York and the Vienna intelligentsia. Meaghan sings jazzy, approachable melodies over cello accompaniments that channel every possible incarnation of Western music all at once. It's impossibly beautiful but in no way forgiving. Her fingers race in preparation of cadenzas and the orchestration seems totally unrelated to what pours out of her mouth. … Because what she's created is too personal, too direct and unusual to claim she's a songwriter – which sounds categorically absurd but it's true – it's like she's a songwriter, imploded." – The Deli NYC
Full review at http://nyc.thedelimagazine.com/6483/experimental-nyc-meaghan-burke-sidewalk-cafe-on-0812 (11-26-11)
"Despite being a native of New York, Meaghan Burke is, as a result of living in Vienna for a number of years, being asked to represent the city's pop scene at the Popfest Wien free festival. This is the warm-up and it is clear that the anomaly is two-fold: her being merely an adopted daughter, but also that the music she makes is only on the barest of nodding terms with 'pop'. That said there are hi-jinks in her business, an embroidered, fresh-faced charm; the manner in which she beams, sporting the ivory being a facial equivalent of Doris Day greeting the day's business with a windmill slap of a thigh. Yet she marries this innocence with regular dips into Diamanda Galas style melodrama, the voice flitting and swooping like a swallow, elasticising from trills to treacle…" -Vanity Project UK Fanzine
Full review at: http://vanityprojectuk.wordpress.com/2011/05/13/meaghan-burke-dead-western-vienna-rhiz/ (5-13-2011)
"One woman, one cello, one microphone and no trace of sentimental sappiness in sight. When Meaghan Burke, who commutes between New York and Vienna (some folks got it hard), asks a foppish, mournfully mediocre "Hatboy" if he has actually earned his hat, one doesn't want to be in his skin. Burke's cello drones, groans, scrubs, rattles and purrs, singing with and against her voice, whose idiosyncratic melodic arcs tell of biting bedbugs and dreamy Bohemian boys, chant the message of her answering machine, and introduce her song about a "methadone friend" with a variation on Cole Porters "One of Those Things." We admit, one could dispute whether this is pop. But let's just say, it should be." – Robert Rotifer (in translation) http://popfest.at/?p=300 (April 2011)
A Few Concerns Concerning the Second Coming (commissioned by Spark and Echo Arts)
"Meaghan Burke's live performances are as intimate as her songs, baroque relics of a metropolis that only looks modern from the outside – Vienna." (in translation) Full article at: http://fm4.orf.at/stories/1682145/ (May 2011)
"Just in time before she leaves us for New York, Meaghan Burke has left us the songs with which she stormed the Viennese underground in the last few months, preserved and self-released. Cello, voice, and a few well-chosen harmonies — that's it. The classically trained cellist not only writes overwhelmingly beautiful songs, but her concerts are always an experience. Her live presence is hard to top, and it's a serious wake-up call to fellow singer-songwriters who think it's enough to wallow about a little. We're talking about music here. Hallelujah!"

After learning that some kids were frightened by "ghost children" at the long abandoned Marylebone manor, the party decided they would investigate.
They sought aid from Glynis, who was happy to help. She also had a magical weapon, a +1 Kukri of blood letting she was willing to trade to Butch for some livestock.
Preferring to take the path of greater resistance, Butch chose to fight a farmer for the livestock, get caught cheating, and still lose. Humbled only slightly, Butch bought the livestock, and paid the farmer's tab at Jack'a'napes.
So at first light the following day, the party and Glynis set out for Marylebone manor. In the front courtyard, they faced 8 Jack'o'lanterns, defeated them without casualty.

Elissa's Pretty Porch-in-Progress
Elissa, whose lovely blog, Vintage Green, is one of our favorite reads, has recently been on a mission to spruce up her front porch. So far she's just added a love seat and given the cool old glider a makeover, but even these small changes make the porch look so sweet and inviting. There are plans in the works to powerwash and paint, maybe add an outdoor rug… we think this porch is already a great example of how a couple of plants and a few mixed-and-matched places to sit are all you really need to create a comfortable outdoor room. Click through to check out before and after photos of the glider…
After she found this glider in a neighbor's trash a while back, Elissa re-covered the cushions, but since then the fabric has faded considerably (as tends to happen with outdoor furniture). Her solution was to go ahead and treat the fabric with a coat of paint. We love the way the old pattern shows through the sheer green, and the chair itself is quite a find for a lover of vintage patio furniture.
Read more about Elissa's ongoing porch transformation on her blog, Vintage Green. Also be sure to have a look at her Flickr page for more photos of the projects she's working on at home.

SALT LAKE CITY — Curbside glass recycling programs are ready to begin in select Salt lake City neighborhoods.
City workers began delivering glass recycling bins Oct. 17 to residents in neighborhoods between State Street and 2000 East, including the Avenues and Capitol Hill. Collection will begin Nov. 1 and will take place once a month.
Those neighborhoods were selected because they had the highest number of subscriptions to the service, according to the city. The remaining areas of the city will have the service in April 2013. Glass drop-off centers, located throughout the city, will remain operational with the new service.
Curbside glass recycling pickup is a voluntary program and will cost residents $6 per month. Subscribers can sign up for automatic noticing that occurs the day before scheduled pickup via automated phone call, text message or email. All colors of glass can be placed in the bins.

As we close out 2012 and get ready to welcome in the New Year, ARAS has so much to celebrate that we want to share with you. Great things are happening at ARAS.
Over the past several months, we have been in discussions with ARTstor. ARTstor is a non-profit initiative, founded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with a mission to use digital technology to enhance scholarship, teaching, and learning in the arts and associated fields. ARTstor is a fabulous resource that has hundreds of thousands of digital images and related data, along with the tools to actively use those images.
ARAS is entering into a new relationship with ARTstor that will benefit both organizations without in any way altering the unique and separate identity of either one. In our new arrangement, ARAS subscribers will gain access to ARTstor's vast library of images and ARTstor will include ARAS' unique collection of images and commentary on archetypal symbolism in its prestigious selection of archival collections that are made available to non-profit institutions around the world. This relationship will unfold in two steps over the next year.
The first step, which we will be rolling out at the beginning of 2013, will enable all of the individual subscribers of ARAS Online to have free access to the vast resources of ARTstor. For licensing reasons, this privilege will only be available to individual subscribers to ARAS, not to institutional subscribers to ARAS. Of course, we hope this new ARAS access to ARTstor will be an incentive to those of you who enjoy receiving the free subscription to ARAS Connections to consider become paying subscribers to ARAS Online which will give you the huge bonus of having access to ARTstor.
The second phase of our new relationship with ARTstor will begin later in 2013 when all of the institutional subscribers to ARTstor will have access to ARAS Online. The ARAS approach to archetypal imagery is absolutely unique and we at ARAS have long sought a way in which to make our approach to images and symbols more accessible to a world of scholars, students, artists, and dreamers.
In addition to entering into a new relationship with ARTstor, ARAS Online is undertaking a major transformation of itself in terms of our front-end design (what you see and use) and our back-end technology (what makes what you see work). We first went to the drawing boards to plan the construction of ARAS Online in 2001 and launched the site in July, 2005. In the world of internet technology, a decade is as long as a century by any other historical measurement of time. In the past year, we have been planning our next ARAS Online incarnation in terms of its look and functionality. This will be unfolding in the coming year. Dyad Communications of Philadelphia, a design, company, is taking the lead in the front end transformation and John Kyle, a computer "guru", is creating the architecture for the back end which will tremendously enhance our ability to flexibly organize, search and expand our core content.
Perhaps there is no better way to celebrate these creative developments in ARAS' relationship to the world and its own evolution than with an issue of ARAS Connections devoted to exploring the relationship between poetry and imagery in two original articles--one, the Poetry Portal, a new feature of ARAS Online curated by Ellen Liberatori, and the other, a beautiful, timely exploration of the personal and political, the individual and archetypal by Naomi Lowinsky.

A New Year's Eve afternoon turned hazardous for the Miller family of Atlantic Beach, according to Assemblywoman Melissa Miller.
"As we were spending what we thought was a quiet afternoon lazing around, we suddenly found ourselves in panic mode," she wrote on Facebook. "There was a loud noise from the fireplace and before we knew it smoke was backing up into the house."
Miller said there was a "mad rush" to get her son, Oliver, and all of his oxygen tanks, her daughter, Katy, and others as well as the cats and dogs quickly, while calling 911. "It happened so fast," she posted, calling it "very very scary!!"
The Inwood and Long Beach fire departments responded, along with Nassau County police. "Their quick response in this frigid cold weather was awesome," Miller wrote.
Firefighters found that the fire emanated from the chimney and extinguished the blaze.

For the love of all that is holy…
When will Daryl just grab hold of Carol and Marvin Gaye it? The sexual tension between them has been simmering, ready to erupt (pardon the pun) into a boiling deluge of passion since the second series, or sometime around then. By the time the gang were holed up in the prison in the third season, the pair of them were tearing at each other's clothes, at least in their dreams. Carol has dropped enough suggestions and innuendos, so why hasn't Daryl given in to his baser instincts? I haven't noticed him get much in the way of 'sexy-time' during the past seven years, so what is it?
Does Carol just not do it for him (she's actually my 'Shouldn't, but most definitely would!')? Is he in the closet? Is he a secret monk of some sort, having made a vow of celibacy? Ah…wait, is it because he respects her too much?
Regardless, with most of the world dead and each day possibly being their last, I would imagine that in reality people would be at it like rabbits. We would be living every minute to the full and not caring about modern day social sensitivities or, 'what if someone walks in?'. Not only would weaponry, fighting skills, food, shelter and safety be on the top of the list of priorities, but so would inventing more practical quick release devices for trousers, as belts and buttons take time and that could get people killed if they are caught during a moment of passion and need to run for their lives.
In a post-apocalyptic world we'd be fighting and fucking like the Barbarians when they sacked Rome! The human race would be stripped to its bare bones of instinct and rawness, with social etiquette, inhibitions, and concerns about what people will think cast to the wind. At every opportunity, there would be a Sausage-Fest!
Mein Gott, I cannot wait for the apocalypse! 😉

Finding the right small business bank manager
The questions that you should be asking
There are many factors to consider when choosing a bank. Interest rates and charges will obviously play their part, but it's essential to look at the quality of service you'll receive from your bank manager.
After all, this is the person that you'll deal with on a regular basis and the person you'll need to approach for funding. You need a manager that will understand your business and one that you're able to trust.
When looking at switching banks, don't be afraid to ask to speak to the manager that will be dealing with your account, and when you do, make sure he meets your requirements.
To help you find the right bank manager, here's a list of questions that you should be asking:
Do you really understand my business and industry? – Every industry has slightly different needs.
How long have you been in your job? – Ideally, you don't want to keep having to build relationships with different bank managers. Continuity is key.
Can I reach you whenever I need to? – Or will I speak to someone working in a call centre whom I have never met? There is no substitute for having a contact who intimately understands your business and what you want to achieve. Not so easy to do over the telephone.
Building a website for your business idea is easier than you might think. Our online tool ranks the top website builders that offer free trials.
Are you able to make a quick decision when I need one? – We all know that if you really need to extend your overdraft for a short period you need a quick decision. Having to jump through lots of 'hoops' just eats up your valuable time. Few businesses can afford that.
Will I have one point of contact who understands who I am and, as importantly knows about my business? – The model-T ford approach to service is no longer good enough. One colour does not suit everyone.
Can I speak to companies you currently work with in a similar industry for a reference? – We all know that there is no substitute for third-party endorsement. All companies say they deliver great service, but do they really? You need to find out.
Will you provide more general business advice when I need it? – Getting the basics such as a checking account, credit card etc is simple. Businesses require far more. They want a bank that will deliver a lot more value.
How are you rated in the industry? – Have they won any awards recently, for instance? Again, third-party endorsement can be a powerful method with which to judge the success of an organisation.
Do you have the name of a company in your patch who you helped to grow? – Most businesses have similar aspirations – to grow, to improve profitability. Banks play a major role in helping to turn ambition into reality. You need to know that the bank you select can help you achieve your business objectives.
The more questions you ask, the more likely it is that you will have a long and fruitful relationship with your bank.

Leopard Creek: Spaniard Pablo Martin survived a late scare to become the first golfer in two years to successfully defend a European Tour event.
The 24-year-old from Malaga also became the first competitor to win the Alfred Dunhill Championship twice as he finished with a two-under 70 for a total of 277 and a two-stroke victory.
Irish star Padraig Harrington was the last golfer to win the same European Tour event in consecutive seasons when he lifted the British Open in 2007 and the following year.
Rookie Anthony Michael, who entered the final round at Leopard Creek Country Club one shot ahead, shared second place on 279 with fellow South African Charl Schwartzel (70) and Dane Thorbjorn Olesen (66).
Another South African, Thomas Aiken, was sole occupant of fifth place on 281 after a closing 70 over the 6631-metre course designed by nine-Major-winner Gary Player and bordering the Kruger National Park wildlife paradise.
Martin was five shots ahead with seven holes left but a series of mishaps, including a triple-bogey seven on the par-four 17 where he found a bunker, saw him walk nervously to the last tee clinging to a one-stroke advantage.
A superb drive from the Spaniard at the par five last was followed by a bold mid-iron second over the water and he two putted for an birdie and victory in the first event of the 2011 Road-to-Dubai circuit.
Knowing Martin was on the green at 18 in two, Michael cast aside caution and tried to emulate the leader from a difficult lie in the rough only to find the water and did well to finish with a par five.
"I started my final round very well with some good putts," Martin said of a sizzling front-nine 30 that included an eagle three at the second, three birdies and no dropped shots.
"The second last hole was a big mess," confessed the Spaniard who arrived in the eastern Mpumalanga province from New York only on the eve of the tournament and did not have time for a practice round.
"But I hit some good shots at 18. It was wonderful to win as I was not sure what to expect this week. I have been playing decently lately although I had a few problems with my swing on the back nine because of the wind."
Michael, who honed his golf skills on a four-year scholarship in the United States, was one-under for the day at the turn but a double-bogey six at 11 proved a major setback and ended two over for the back nine.
After drifting in and out of contention for the 158,000-euro first prize during the weekend, Olesen finished with a six-birdie 66 for the lowest round of the day.

How did the two of you meet? Tell us your story:
Terrence: We met at a bar. But it's not what you think. Really. In September 2000, we attended the Sunbelt Job Fair at the Crown Plaza Suites in Dallas, Texas. I was coming down from an interview in a glass elevator, when I spotted a beautiful lady sitting at the bar. I got off of the elevator, and made my way over to the bar. To my good fortune, my best friend was talking to this beautiful lady, Monica. I conveniently injected myself into the conversation, and we immediately hit it off. Monica was not only beautiful, but funny and intelligent as well. The good news is that we both landed jobs - Monica in Dallas, and I in New York. The not-so-good news is that we had to wait 4 1/2 years before seeing each again.
What was the theme or design inspiration for your wedding?
From the very beginning, our goal was to have a wedding that was elegant and classy. But at the same time, we wanted to establish a laid-back atmosphere that everyone would enjoy.
Tell us about the attire for both bride and groom:
Monica: I wore a Maggie Sottero A-line gown with a floral motif and a corset closure. I had a custom veil designed using flowers from the dress. I accessorized with a pair of gold Jimmy Choo heels and a pearl necklace and bracelet (a present from my Terrance) by Mikimoto.
Terrance wore a classic Jones New York two-button black tuxedo and vest, accessorized with a David Donahue textured champagne silk necktie and handkerchief, and silver Movado Sapphire timepiece (a present from me).
Favorite design element of your big day:
Monica: This is such a hard question to answer, because there were so many elements about our wedding that we loved. But, if we had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the fact that we had not one, but three rooms for our reception! We incorporated different shades of our colors, pink and gold, to create a different atmosphere in each room. The reception began with a cocktail hour in a room decorated in soft pink and champagne, which exuded an understated elegant atmosphere. The room had an adjoining patio area where our band, Full of Soul, began their first set with light jazz. After the cocktail hour, our guests moved to a second room where a seated dinner was served. This room had mirrored walls and was filled with round tables covered in huge bouquets of flowers, candles, and crystal candle holders. We also had pink lighting that cast a beautiful glow across the room. Aiming to achieve that laid-back feeling that we hoped that our guests would enjoy, the third and final room was decorated in hot pink, gold, and leopard print. It was funky, but tastefully done. A perfect room for dancing!
We would be remiss if we didn't also mention the photo booth, which was a great hit. I absolutely LOVE photo booths, and I always drag Terrance and Moriah into them every chance I get. We provided silly hats, glasses, and boas. Glue, scissors, and markers were available for our guests, to add some of their photos to a scrapbook with words of advice.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding?
Terrance and I really wanted to give our guests an amazing experience, but we had to work with constraints, namely money. In order to achieve this goal, we had to keep the wedding very small, fifty guests to be exact. It was very challenging for us to decide which twenty-five of our closest friends and family to invite. It was also very difficult explaining to those friends and family who were not invited that we had to keep the wedding small for budgetary reasons.
What advice do you have for a couple planning their wedding?
Select a wedding date which will provide you with sufficient time to plan and save for your special day. A long engagement can be a good thing. Identify the aspects of the wedding that are most important to each of you, and be supportive of each other in achieving those goals. And, finally, make a realistic budget, and stick to your budget.
Best advice someone told you at the wedding?
Terrance: always listen to your wife.
Monica: take a little bit of time each day to remember why you married him.
Any specific reasons behind certain choices you made for your wedding? Maybe flowers that were your mom's favorite, or your first dance song was the first song you ever heard together..that kind of thing?
It was important for us to incorporate our children, Moriah (10) and T.J. (11) into the wedding ceremony. Because our guest list was so small, we felt it unnecessary to have a large wedding party. Instead, we tapped Moriah as "little maiden of honor/flower girl" and T.J. as "little best man/ring bearer." During the ceremony, we made special vows to the children and presented them with tokens of our commitment to them.
In addition, the kids were each able to invite one friend to the wedding, and we had a special table set up for the kids, complete with kid-friendly food (pizza, fries, fruit, and burgers), toys (clay, colored-pencils, cars), and enough candy to feed a small army.
Tell me something about your photographer, Kelly Moore.
We love everything about our photographer, from her creativity to her ability to capture the essence of a moment. Kelly was absolutely amazing and we can't wait to work with her again for Moriah's wedding.

* Getting out of the car this afternoon after we'd been mucking about in the parked car, Harriet asked Jimbo "Who undid my buckle?". James replied that it was him, to which Harriet said "Thank you Papa".
* We were doing some run-arounds in the supermarket to keep interest high and I (in mock seriousness) would say to Harriet "Don't chase me!" thengo speeding away with an hysterically laughing Harry running behind me. When I stopped and said (in mock stern voice) "Why are you chasing me?" she grabbed my leg, looked up at me very seriously and said "I have to chase you, because you're my Mama!".
* Just after the buckling in comment today, Harriet walked down into the hallway, out into the study here at the rear of the house and out of the blue just proclaimed, "What a beautiful home, Mama!". *priceless*
* I'm seriously going to have to get a little notepad and write down all this stuff, because this is just from the last 48hrs. A lot of stuff she's been saying is so adult. The other day she threw her book down on the floor in disgust, proclaiming loudly, "I can't read it Mama!". She did it again the next day but with even more anger and frustration - as if the ability to learn how to read should have materialised over the intervening period.
Will write more soon. Promise.

At 88, Queen Elizabeth II is now the oldest living monarch since the death of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, who recently passed away at age 90. The Queen will celebrate her 89th birthday on April 21.
In 1998, King Abdullah had not yet ascended to the thrown and held the title of crown prince. He visited the Queen at Balmoral, the royal estate in Scotland. Balmoral is huge, and instead of walking the grounds, Her Majesty decided a tour in a Land Rover would be the best way to tour the grounds.
Per former British ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, King Abdullah was shocked.
"To his surprise, the Queen climbed into the driving seat, turned the ignition and drove off. Women are not–yet–allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, and Abdullah was not used to being driven by a woman, let alone a Queen."
Cowper-Coles also stated, "His nervousness only increased as the Queen, an Army driver in wartime, accelerated the Land Rover along the narrow Scottish estate roads, talking all the time. Through his interpreter, the Crown Prince implored the Queen to slow down and concentrate on the road ahead."
Royal protocol was breached by Cowper-Coles sharing the information, but he said it was "too funny not to repeat."
Queen Elizabeth continued in her role while the crown prince made a name for himself as reformer King. But one thing that hasn't been reformed is the rule about women and driving because they are still not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia.
The Queen is one of only eight octogenarian monarchs in the world, including the Emperor of Japan and the King of Thailand.
She has cut back on royal duties and Prince Charles will represent her at King Abdullah's funeral. Yet, the Queen remains strong and makes public appearances in the United Kingdom. She's also scheduled to visit Germany in June.
Another record the Queen has set: She is the second longest-living British monarch. Her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, whose record Queen Elizabeth will surpass in September 2015, was first.
In her golden years, Queen Elizabeth has had to deal with scandal among the royals with accusations against son Prince Andrew, the 54-year-old Duke of York, for allegedly participating in an international "sex slave" ring.
There is now a lawsuit that claims the Prince had sexual relations with an underage girl known as "Jane Doe #3" on several occasions in the United States and the United Kingdom.
Buckingham Palace named the accuser and denied the allegations.
What did the Queen do? Well, she continued making public appearances and fulfilling the call of duty — stoically.
Long live the Queen!

This range is our conservative opinion of the item's estimated value. Generally, 75% of the items sold are at prices within or above our suggested value range.
We have found 50% of the items sold are within our suggested price range, 25% are lower, 25% are higher.

Sizes of buttons and other small items on the button pages are given exactly and photos are to scale on these pages. Sizes of larger items may be rounded off to the nearest inch and photos are not scale. Thus, our photos of a gum card and a poster may be equal in size.

DAMAGE: Keep all packaging (shipping box, packaging materials) as well as the damaged item itself. Hake's will then contact the carrier (UPS, USPS) to start the claim process.
LOSS: If a package is lost we will contact the Postal Service or UPS and request a package tracer. The purpose of the tracer is to provide proof of delivery or if unable to prove delivery, request a claim for loss.
Reimbursement for loss or damage will not occur until the claim process has been concluded which could take up to 4 weeks.
Lay-away terms are available on invoices of $500.00 or more. Send one third of the total amount by two weeks after the close of the auction. The remaining balance is due within the next 30 days.

An interest charge of 1.5% per month will be applied to lay-away balances that exceed the lay-away due date by 30 days or more. If there is a balance still due beyond 75 days of the original payment due date, the deposit is forfeited and the items returned to our inventory.

NEADS Student Leadership & Employment Forums Initiative
Since 1998, members of the NEADS Board of Directors have worked with local community agencies and post-secondary institutions to host a series of six Disabled Student Leadership Forums throughout Canada. These forums have strengthened the links between the national Association and its extensive campus network. They have also led to a series of recommendations to assist NEADS in addressing members' issues and concerns. This project will continue these valuable forums, and move them forward to explore new areas. It will also produce a series of reports and information products for youth with disabilities considering post-secondary education and employment opportunities.
The forums to date have made it clear that one of the most significant areas of concern for post-secondary students with disabilities, and indeed all people with disabilities, is employment. Much has been written about the under-representation of people with disabilities in the workplace. There is also an emerging recognition that education is one of the most effective ways to address this under-representation. For example, in a report entitled In Unison 2000: Persons with Disabilities in Canada, released by the federal, provincial and territorial ministers responsible for social services, the following statement is made:
".overall, people with higher levels of education are more likely to participate in the paid labour market and educational attainment among persons with disabilities has been increasing. The 1996 Census clearly shows the strong correlation between educational attainment and labour force participation rates among persons with disabilities." (33-34)
Mindful of these facts, Human Resources Development Canada's (HRDC) Youth Initiatives Directorate (YID) has included youth with disabilities in their work with "youth at risk." For example, the Directorate ensured the participation of disabled youth in the series of Youth at Risk Discussion Groups conducted across Canada in 2000.
Evidence shows that disabled youth are often excluded from the labour force as the Youth Initiatives Directorate has recognized in recent activities and consultations. This, coupled with the knowledge that higher education is one significant way to address these inequities in the system, offers a unique opportunity for the Directorate to partner with NEADS in order to explore these issues more fully. Specifically, the objectives and activities of this project are as follows:

What an incredible honor to have been chosen as a recipient of the Presidential Award. I feel incredibly humble and motivated by this award. I have the privilege of working with some of the most dedicated, hard-working educators that I have ever known. This award acknowledges all of the amazing, innovative work going on in my school district and pushes me to continue to increase expectations, model perseverance, and create classroom cultures in which the students are guiding their own learning.

It's November 10th, and I'm at about 4300 words. I should say that this is somewhat of an unofficial NaNoWriMo attempt for me, as last Sunday I sliced open my left index finger rather than the bagel I was aiming for, and the seven stitches at the tip of it have precluded speedy--or any--typing.
I wasn't sure whether I would do NaNoWriMo this year, but thought: Hey, last year I realized that I couldn't write my book with anyone but a gay man dying of AIDS as my main character. As last year helped with that realization, then why shouldn't this year help me get this story moving.
I have to admit - the story hasn't received the attention it deserved. Part of the reason is abject terror, some of it (much of it) is LIFE. I have a few things in common with my main character (not the dying part), and, well, enough said I suppose.
My stitches come out tomorrow, and for the past two days I've been typing with very little discomfort. So - off to the races, right? Well, no. Part of this LIFE that I mentioned has forced me into a gym, six days a week (though I'm supposed to do seven, and sometimes only manage five), and it's absolutely exhausting. I'm also taking a 21-week grammar class, and have found that it's much more difficult than anticipated, which means that I am spending more time studying than I had planned on.
So why am I doing NaNoWriMo? That very question just now popped into my head. I don't expect to "win" this year. But I do need *something* keeping me focused on this story of mine. I need an explosion of creativity.
My hope is that this will be it.
More later. It's late, and the gym awaits me in the morning. I'm certain that as I close my eyes I can hear it gurgling and splunging, anticipating the many ways it can torment me. It's very creative, as there seems to be a new torment every morning.
Wish me well!

Yesterday saw the official release of Zurich-based Marty McKay's Sins Disciple; a widely ambitious concept album that runs the gamut from nu metal and rap rock. McKay has shared the stage with Vanilla Ice, and in a way, ends up sounding a little like his protégé as he internalizes the 7 deadly sins and fires off first person raps over the glitchy Euro beats and clean cut pop hooks.
The album, which comes equipped with an elaborate booklet of beautifully shot and staged photos, is also accompanied by a graphic novel which mirrors the themes and characters laid out in the music. It is an incredibly ostentatious debut that has a lot going for it on several levels, namely:
1) It stands at the vanguard of technology; weaving together several formats that are available in both the digital and physical realms.
2) The album and the book feed into each other, creating a multi-dimensional universe curated by McKay. If you dig either the music or the book, there is plenty more to expand on.
3) Besides the somewhat throwback nature of the music, the content is extremely current and enlightening without any intentional finger pointing or name dropping. It is a socio-political masterwork.
I tip my hat to McKay, who had the gumshoe to not only tackle such a grandiose feat for his debut, but to express the songs in English, a language which is not his native tongue. The reason, however, is obvious… McKay has his sights set on bringing his concept art to the masses and has done an extraordinary job completing such an ambitious undertaking.
Sins Disciple is available here

Recently ranked in The Dallas Morning News: Guide "Top 10 Jaunts of 2013," a visit to the Reunion Tower isn't just about seeing what's below from hundreds of feet in the air. It's about expanding your horizons. The GeO-Deck has something for everyone – the foodies, the fashionistas, adventure seekers or sightseers. Think you've seen it all? Experience the interactive Halo today, and change your view forever.
These buildings reminded me of something ... then I remembered they are featured in the opening credits of the prime time soap opera, Dallas. I loved the original show on CBS and the reboot on TNT.
The Trinity River was overflowing with the recent rain.
Dedicated to inspire and educate visitors about the rich and varied cultural, economic, political and social history of the Dallas County Area, the Old Red Museum of Dallas County History & Culture serves as a symbol of Dallas heritage. Built in 1892, the beautifully restored Old Red Courthouse contains some of Dallas County's most fascinating historical artifacts. There is a special exhibit gallery located on the first floor, while the second floor of Old Red is filled with exhibits, 41-touch screen computers, an educational learning center and four mini theatres.
We enjoyed Asian themed appetizers ...
Have you visited Dallas? One randomly selected commenter from my RT posts wins a book choice from my convention stash. Comments are open through Sunday, May 31. I'll post the winner on Monday, June 1, at SOS Aloha.

Apologies to comedian Stephen Colbert for ripping off his "Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger" bit, but I would like to tip my hat to Victoria Elementary School Principal Linda Tenno, and wag my finger at the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
Tenno gets the nod because she is essentially doing two big jobs at once. In addition to running the Costa Mesa school, she also heads the district's Gifted and Talented Education, or GATE, program.
The district gets the scolding because there's no way they could be paying Tenno enough.
To be fair, I should cut the district some slack because it's facing the same harsh financial choices as other school systems statewide. The new normal in public education means double duties like Tenno's are hardly unique. Budget constraints have forced many districts to slash programs, which often means that when one employee is laid off or retires, remaining staff absorbs the extra work.

'Sitzmuster des Todes' is a Swedish single serving site devoted to cataloging the ugliest patterns printed on the seats of public transportation worldwide. Many Swedish products are revered for their clean and minimal aesthetics, so it is no surprise that this website was created to show the complete opposite of these kinds of designs. The website even has a "Hall of Death," which ranks the worst patterns from around the world.
The outrageous rainbow-colored seats are reminiscent of the the loudly patterned carpets used in casinos and serve a similar purpose; just as the energetic flooring choices in casinos are designed to encourage gambling, the more outrageous the pattern on the seats of public transit, the less likely you are to notice stains and markings left behind.

I can't think of a better place to share my passions of Digital Storytelling and Boys' Writing than at an all boys school.
During my school visit yesterday I couldn't help but think about Jeff Wilhelm's social contract. For without a social contract in place, I wouldn't have been able to sit with 1st grade students and have a discussion about their writing.
Here's a previous post that talks about the social contract and relationships.

Act One:
Flint Steel, singing: "Oh, we're--cutting down trees to make way for some houses!"
Slim, the Camp Clown: "Do you want to see me juggle?"
Flint Steel, singing: "Not now, you crazy bastard! Can't you see we're working here?"
Slim: "Well, yeah boss, but this is juggling like you've never seen before. I juggle chainsaws that are going!"
Flint Steel, singing: "Say, that DOES sound exciting! Everyone, gather round; Slim's going to juggle running chainsaws!"
All the lumberjacks stop cutting to watch Slim juggle
Flint Steel, singing: "Go ahead, start the show!"
Slim starts up three chainsaws, and cuts into a log to demonstratethat they do indeed work
Slim: "So as you can see, these babies are real! I brought my boom box for musical accompaniment!"
A chorus of lumberjacks (The off stage voices of The Happy Limber-Tones Male Choir): "Start the show, come on, let's go!"
The sound of running chainsaws fill the air, as Slim picks the up 2, and says, "I'll throw one up in the air, and grab the 3rd off the ground!"
Slim throws on up in the air, and reaches down for the 3rd, only he stumbles, and the airborne chainsaw flashes downward and cuts right
through his arm.
Slim, screaming: "Owe, my fricking arm; somebody call 911!"
The Happy Limber-Tones Male choir, singing: "Now look what you've done; you've severed your arm!"
Curtain falls, and rises to the interior of a hospital room
Flint Steel, singing: "How do you feel; can I get you anything?"
Slim: "How would you feel if you CUT OFF YOUR ARM?"
Flint Steel, singing: "Look on the bright side, you've still got one!"
The Happy Limber-Tones Male Choir, singing: "Oh, they, couldn't save the arm; now it's one unsightly stump!"
Flint Steel, singing, "Some people dropped by, just to say hi!"
Miss Bitty: "Hey, other than the lack of the outline of a limb beneath that sheet, you're looking great!"
The Happy Limber-Tones Male Choir: "Other than the missing lump, he's looking pretty good!"
Uncle Dibby: "I brought you a present; its a bowling shirt with one sleeve removed, so you don't look like a reject by having the empty sleeve flapping
loosely when you bowl!"
Slim: "Gee thanks, Uncle Dibby, but you sewed the WRONG sleeve shut!"
Uncle Dibby: "Oops!"
The Happy Limber-Tones Male Choir: "He sowed the wrong sleeve shut, and all he can say is, 'Oops'?"
Bruno, the Tavern Owner: "When you realize you're no longer whole, and the depression hits? I'm going to serve you free-of-charge, so at least you won't go to
the poor house trying to drink enough to deaden the despair!"
The Happy Limber-Tones Male Choir: "Deaden the despair, Deaden the despair: people with 2 arms-everywhere!"
Slim: "Why don't you bastards clear out? You're not helping!"
Flint Steel, singing: "Oh fine, that's the thanks we get? Fine, come on gang, let's let Mr. Limbless Wonder sit here and have nothing to think about BUT his

The credits at the beginning are as funny as the show it's self. Could I order a family Ticket. I am sure my 11 year old would enjoy the specticle of gore.

Miu Miu continues the restyling of its stores with the opening of the newly refurbished outpost in Taipei City, Taiwan.
Roberto Baciocchi, the architect who developed Miu Miu's latest blueprint, which was first applied to the Milan store in fall 2006, handled the project for the 1,080-square-foot space, which relaunched last week.
The mood behind the concept is one of intimacy, with small rooms dedicated to women's ready-to-wear, bags and footwear, while brocade and damask walls and shiny gold metal fixtures add a warm touch. First-year sales projections were unavailable.
Miu Miu has 27 freestanding stores worldwide and plans to open a unit in Los Angeles this year. The brand, founded by Miuccia Prada in 1993, registered 2007 sales of 223 million euros, or $326 million at current exchange rates, a 50 percent increase over the previous year.

Splish Splash
Yay! I am so happy to announce that the sun is shining here today. Sadly, I understand this may not be the the case for everyone. Regardless, this got me daydreaming of summer and swimming and outdoor fun and so I decided to post this little painting; a fairly quick study of some koi-esq fish. This painting actually developed into two more paintings, both of which reside with my bf who seems quite smitten with them.

Lately I've been feeling like the new neighbor lady has ruined mine and my friend's friendship. I noticed my friend will talk more and pay more attention to her than me, even though we've been friends for over a year and the new lady has only been here a few months. I don't really like her, she seems to know everything about everyone around here for only living here for a few months. She knows things like who is late on their rent, who is renewing or not renewing their lease, etc. She acts like she owns the place. I've been here 3 years and I don't act like that. She's one of those. Both my friend and I have been warned about her. I know that if I say anything about my friend to her she'll run and tell her everything I said, even things I didn't say. It's like she wants to get my friend and I to fight on purpose. I wish she never moved in, honestly. She sometimes acts like she's my mother and can tell me what to do because she's older.
Apartment living I guess, sometimes you get wackos who move in.

Firewire not responding
Hi, I installed a StarTech IEEE-1394 FW card on windows 7 ultimate x64. I updated the drivers and changed them over to "Legacy". I am still not getting any response from windows when I plug in my FW devices. The power turns on, but I am not getting any found new hardware notifications. I was told that it could possibly have something to do with IRQ's sharing the same PCI slot. But I have no idea how to change them. Any help would be much appreciated. My motherboard is p5w64 ws pr0.

MarketResearchReports.Biz has announced addition of new report "Global Healthcare Packaging Market 2016-2020" to its database.
Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/17/2016 -- As the home healthcare trends takes root worldwide, the healthcare industry will see a massive change in the products on offer. This will directly impact the dynamics of the global healthcare packaging market, says a new report that is now available on MarketResearchReports.biz. The report is titled, "Global Healthcare Packaging Market 2016-2020." Home-based healthcare will generate fresh demand for more compact, easy to use, as well as easy to dispose products, creating a myriad of opportunities for companies in healthcare packaging.
View Press Release at http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/pressrelease/2805
The report also notes that an increase in healthcare spending will also aid the growth of the overall healthcare packaging market. In important markets such as the U.S., for instance, spending on healthcare has been rising steadily. The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for instance, has reported that healthcare expenditure in the United States stood at 2.9% of the GDP as of 2013. It spiked to touch 5.3% of the same in 2014, translating to an astounding US$3 trillion in all. That amounts to a person healthcare spend of around US$9,523.
With a conducive coming together of several factors, the global healthcare packaging market is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.32% between 2016 and 2020, says the report. The growing use of disposable medical products will help bring about a significant increase in their volume sales, necessitating an increased need for packaging materials and technologies as well. The report also spots emerging trends on the horizon. On this topic, it finds that the development of child-resistant and tamper-proof packaging materials is shaping up as a trend that cannot be ignored. Tamper-proof or tamper-evident packaging will play an even more central role because counterfeit products are increasingly infiltrating the market and are leading to substantial revenue erosion.
For Sample Copy, click here: http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/sample/sample/840967
The report, composed of 87 pages, provides a detailed account of the recent developments that have shaped the growth of the global healthcare packaging market and forecasts what course the market is expected to take in the coming years. The top companies studied in the report include Baxter, Schott, Bemis, Amcor, Gerresheimer AG, and BD. The geographical segments studied in the report are: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World.
The report shears the market down to the key product segments and studies each in great detail. By type of product, the analysis touches upon the following segments: blister packaging, caps and closures, pre-fillable inhalers, pre-fillable syringes, plastic bottles, tubes, trays, clamshells, pouches, and parenteral containers.
The economic indicators that will likely have an influence on the trajectory of the market are also detailed in the report. In order to arrive at the size of the market, the report takes into consideration sales of healthcare packaging (both primary and secondary).

Nigeria's army chief has survived an attack on his convoy by suspected Boko Haram fighters in volatile Borno state.
The army says gunmen ambushed Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai's convoy in a village between the towns of Mafa and Dikwa on Saturday.
It says troops responded with overwhelming fire, killing 10 attackers and capturing five. One government soldier was killed and five wounded.
The general continued on to Dikwa, where he addressed soldiers and a group of Nigerian civilians driven out of their homes by the fighting between Boko Haram and the military.
Also Sunday, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon began a two-day visit to Nigeria to talk about terrorism and other vital issues with President Muhammadu Buhari. Mr. Ban also will meet with religious and business leaders and human rights activists.
He will lay a wreath to mark the fourth anniversary of a Boko Haram suicide car bombing at the U.N. building in Abuja that killed at least 18 people.
The Islamist extremist group has killed more than 10,000 people since 2009, including 1,000 dead in northeast Nigeria since President Buhari was inaugurated in May.

* Orioles primary owner Eli Jacobs got mixed reviews from respondents to "It's Your Call" over the weekend. Fifty-eight percent (168 of 289 callers) said he has done a "bad" job since taking control of the club in December of 1988; the other 42 percent said Jacobs has done a "good" job.
What do the respondents like and dislike about Jacobs' leadership, which, if he is successful in selling the club, could be in its final weeks? Later this week, The Evening Sun will run excerpts of the comments.
"It's Your Call" represents a sampling of opinions from certain segments of the community, but it is not balanced demographically, as would be done in a scientific public opinion poll.

My Favorite
This one totally got me ~ hook. line. and sinker.
Definitely has to be my favorite black Friday ad of the year!
So, do tell.... are you a black Friday shopper?
Will you shop on Thanksgiving?

I'm not a black Friday shopper and you couldn't pay me enough money to go shopping on Thanksgiving night. Isn't the point of the holiday to be thankful for what we have and spend time with people we love? Shopping and fighting for deals doesn't seem to fit into the big picture for me.

I saw this on pinterest.
And I says to mysef: sef, you can do this!
So I went to Hobby Lobby (my favorite store besides Target) and bought these:
And then I sat them on a shelf for months. Hehe! I'm trying to keep it real here, people.
But one day I was doing some spray painting for another project and pulled out the candlesticks to give them a new shiny coat of white paint. Then I was ready to make it happen. Bring on the E-6000!
What's that you say? You've never heard of E-6000? Well it's just the best glue on the FACE OF THE EARTH! Pick some up next time you're at Hobby Lobby. It will REVOLUTIONIZE your life. I promise. It binds anything you want FOREVER.
So off I went with my glue and my pieces.
The trickiest part I found was getting the pieces centered.
And I did a pretty good job. But I am a perfectionist. I know I need therapy for that, but I prefer to see it as an asset, frankly. Anyway, I wasn't entirely happy with the final result. But live and learn! I will go on to achieve treat stand perfection on my next one! And this one is perfectly good! See for yourself.
So now I'm here to encourage you. You can do this. You really can! It's super easy! And fast! You could even skip the candlestick painting and use them as the glass they really are. That would be cute, too!
So get out there people and find some cute plates on sale and get crafting!

Some old news that you might already knew, writing had been very difficult in the last couple of months, but some interesting happened while I was away.
First Licey won their 19th championship over an superior Aguilas team who had players such as Miguel Tejada, Willy Mo Peña, Victor Diaz on their rosters, but the bog difference for Licey was the work of two young players, Angels Erick Aybar and Mets Anderson Hernandez, Hernandez started the season on the bench, but eventually gained the 2b position, and at the end of the regular season was replaced by Luis Castillo, who in the last game was hit by a pitch in the right foot and Hernandez took back his position driving a triple that started a winning rally giving Licey a ticket to the Finals to face Aguilas.
Aguilas was the favorite to win the best of five series, Licey won the first game, and then Aguilas won the next two putting Licey behind 1-2, but Licey tied the series and never looked back, one great experience for me was to watch Jose Lima take a beat and arguing with Aguilas Manager Felix Fermin when he tried to pull him out.
Finally Won the series 5-2 and begunarrangementss to travel to Venezuela to avoid last year experience of getting late to the tournament.
So now Venezuela is leading the series after yesterday win over the Dominican Republic.
So, more updates later.

Healthy autumny meal that's super easy and fast and delicious? AND makes you feel scathingly brilliant when you turn the toaster on its side and run around the house telling everyone to come see the awesomeness??
Count me in.
