Pinning with Purpose/
I love that I am a woman. Yes, I do! I thought being pregnant would make me hate it, but it actually has made me more proud. Granted, I may say something different while delivering a baby, but I bet afterward I'll be even MORE proud that I am a woman. haha. Well, I say all of this because I've teamed up with Juicy Couture and to help raise money for Step Up Women's Network, a non-profit devoted to empowering underprivileged teen girls through mentorship and after-school programs. A big part in believing in yourself and achieving personal goals is surrounding yourself with people that believe in you too. If I didn't have the support of teachers, friends, family and other mentors in my life I wouldn't be where I am today.
So, how exactly am I using Pinterest to raise money? Well, every time I use the hashtag #girlskickass and pin something to this inspiring board Juicy Couture will donate $1 to Step Up.
If you want to help in this effort you can repin any of the images on the board leaving the hashtag intact OR you can get on Twitter and tweet about being proud to be a woman or share about inspiring women in your life. Just make sure to include the hashtag #girlskickass and @JuicyCouture. Too easy to be true? Check out InStyle's write up of the campaign, click here.

Brief Libertarian National Platform Committee Update
There's not a lot to tell, but I do want to keep my readers (and my fellow Florida Libertarians) updated as to my activity on the platform committee. So, what's going on right now:
We're finally under way on the process of electing a permanent chair, by email ballot, with a bylaws-compliant voting time of 10 days (which started last night at midnight).
The declared candidates (although "write-ins" are eligible) are temporary chair Alicia Mattson and Libertarian National Committee regional representative Caryn Ann Harlos.
As the acting representative from Florida (I am the alternate, but the actual representative has resigned from the party and all positions in it, which leaves me doing the work), I have cast my vote for Ms. Harlos.
No one can doubt the work ethic of either candidate. Ms. Mattson has held a number of positions in the party and while I often disagree with her, it's not over any perception of lack of effort. While she hasn't been in the party for as long, Ms. Harlos has been incredibly energetic in various efforts, including the party's Historical Preservation Committee.
That said, it is my belief that with Ms. Harlos as chair the committee's work will be 1) procedurally smoother, 2) more transparent, and 3) more focused on improving the platform from a standpoint of clarity, concise wording, and harmony with the party's Statement of Principles in a way that the national convention delegates will be inclined to support.
The next step, if I am not much mistaken, will be deciding whether or not to have a pre-convention committee meeting in meatspace, and if so where and when. My best guess is that if it happens, it will be in May and in Chicago or Atlanta, but those are just guesses.
Thanks to all of you who boosted me as a candidate/participant in this committee's work. I look forward to getting past the necessary set-up and to the guts of the thing.

Demetrious Johnson Wants to Clean Out 125 Division, But Would Take Superfight
It wasn't long after Demetrious Johnson's second win over Joseph Benavidez that fans began to express their interest in seeing the UFC flyweight champion climb back up to 135 pounds.
Despite his success, Johnson is not eyeing the move just yet.
"I appreciate it and I appreciate all the love fans give me, but there's a lot of work that needs to be done at 125," Johnson told the Sherdog Radio Network's "Cheap Seats" show. "I need to dominate and clean out the entire division and then I can start thinking about going up to 135. Like I said, I'm happy to be at 125. I love training hard. I love the weight cut and I love fighting guys that are five-three and five-four."
Johnson opened the year with a unanimous decision over John Dodson. In July he submitted John Moraga with an armbar, and on Dec. 14 he knocked out Benavidez in just 2:09 -- his most impressive performance to date. The 27-year-old Johnson believes he still has plenty of challenges ahead in the flyweight division, though.
"The UFC's doing a great job finding the new talent that's out there and signing them," he said. "There's great talent. We've got a lot of guys on the roster now."
With all that said, however, Johnson didn't rule out the possibility of a superfight at 135. UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz is set to meet interim champion Renan Barao on Feb. 1 at UFC 169. Johnson wouldn't mind a shot against the winner, if that's what the UFC wanted.
"I think if Dana White was to approach me with a superfight and said, 'Hey, you and Dom or Barao, whoever the champion at 135 is -- we'll make a lot of money if you guys do this fight,' [I'd say], 'Sounds good,'" Johnson said. "Let's make it happen."
Listen to the full interview (beginning at 59:33).

Hanns Eisler was a German-Jewish composer who is known for his collaborations with Bertholt Brecht and also as a definitive composer of the German lieder or "song" format.
Born in 1898, Eisler was raised in a very well-educated family, and studied composition under Arnold Schoenberg, who is described in prompt 137. In 1923, after four years with Schoenberg, Eisler moved to Berlin and immersed himself in an environment full of music, culture, and radical politics. He also began incorporating more popular styles such as jazz and cabaret in his compositions. It was during this time that Eisler formed his lifelong friendship and partnership with Bertholt Brecht.
Eisler's collaborations with Brecht flourished until the duo was forced to flee from Nazi tyranny in 1933. The socialist overtones in their works had of course caused a stir with the Reich's ideologies. Eventually, Eisler found his way to the United States, where he began to score films for Hollywood. He earned Oscar nominations for two films, but more importantly, during this period Eisler began composing German lieder or "song" music.
Enormously popular, the lieder form consists of a literary poem, set to music and is a precursor to modern song. And in this way, Eisler's compositions featured poems by Brecht, Goethe, and Shakespeare. The anthology which was entitled Hollywood Songbook soon established Eisler among the foremost composers of the "lied".
Unfortunately, despite these successes, Eisler was questioned by the House Un-American Activities Committee for his socialist ideology, and was eventually forced to leave the United States in 1948. Returning to East Germany, Eisler continued composing and also taught at the East Berlin Conservatory. Unfortunately, political conflicts again troubled him as the communist establishment in Germany questioned his loyalties. Over the following decade, Eisler slowly distanced himself from the East German government.
Hanns Eisler died in 1956.
Another notable Jew who collaborated with Bertholt Brecht is Leon Feuchtwanger, prompt 143

Middle School Philosophy
Chrise Fuselier
Middle schools (or sometimes called intermediate schools or junior high schools) were formed in the early twentieth century and serve to function as the educational bridge between primary and secondary schools. Middle schools have any combination of grades sixth through ninth, with the exact grades varying based on education district. Sometimes the term middle school distinctly refers to including grades sixth through eight (probably most commonly seventh and eighth grades) whereas junior high distinctly refers to also including ninth grade. In this paper I will use the term middle school to refer to schools including any specific combination of grades sixth through ninth.
Middle schools have a very specific set of educational philosophies and pedagogical goals separate from primary and secondary schools.
According to Dickinson, when middle schools do not enact policies which address the development needs of students the students, faculty, and school community experiences "arrested development" (p. 4). He uses this term to describe middle schools across the board that aren't fully finished implementing the middle school philosophy, no matter how much progress the school has made toward it. Arrested development is also "…a structural problem and a disposition problem of belief in and attention to the concept" (p. 4).
Teachers organized into teams but who do not meet on a regular basis, even though they have allocated time in their schedules, or when they do meet they continually mire themselves in the rut of student difficulties and failures; a deep cleavage between core and exploratory teachers—in numbers of students, organizational structure, and curricular approaches; advisory programs that look like administrative homerooms, or 'seats-and-sheets' holding patterns; competitive athletics for the few; lack of parent and community involvement; and a curriculum dominated by classical recitation, boring textbooks, and instructional blandness (p. 4).
This middle school may be making attempts to truly implement middle school philosophy; however, a school such as
According to Pitton in the article "The School and the Child and the Child in the School" (2001), there are numerous studies to support improved student success in middle schools which enact middle school philosophy (pp. 21-22). A longitudinal study by Felner, Jackson, Kasak, Mulhall, Brand, and Flowers (1997) that looked at levels of middle school philosophy implementation "…suggests that increased achievement, fewer behavior problems, and easier student adjustment to school are associated with the higher levels of implementation of middle level concepts" (p. 22). Several other tests are also cited by Pitton, which results showing greater student success when middle school philosophy is enacted.
Gallagher-Polite's article "
How can middle schools, especially those experiencing arrested development, reform to implement middle school philosophy to become more successful to its students? Pitton suggests the implementation of self-contained classrooms (similar to the structure of block scheduling), student-centered integrated and interdisclipinary curriculum, and team teaching (p. 22). Additionally, a supportive environment must be made for the student, and this includes flexible schedules, exploratory options, and advisory groups. Middle school students' emerging needs for self-management can be addressed by giving students a voice in their education. Students should be allowed to make choices in their education, such as the ability to pick which topic is studied.
Pitton describes assigning a formal research paper to her students. There was much resistance to the assignment and out of frustrated Pitton asked her students what they wanted to learn. After much discussion, she concluded that her students were interested in traveling and dream vacations. Pitton assigned her students a project they were truly interested in, a paper to research their dream vacations. The papers included research about the country, travel itineraries, description of activities/tourist destinations, and a projected budget of the trip. Pitton acknowledges that this assignment was much different from a formal, sophisticated research paper but, "…all of the students completed the project, something that hadn't happened before…I found that the students were able to make good decisions about their learning, and that they worked harder when they had a voice in the curriculum" (p. 32). Student-centered education and the freedom of student voice in curriculum becomes a central argument for middle school reform for both Pitton and
In conclusion, in order for middle schools to be successful for its students, faculty, and community, middle schools must address the separate developmental needs of its transitioning students. If every

|This is what my work station looks like more often than not.
My heart sank when I heard the news.
My boss suggested we connect in person, that we were long overdue for a mind meld. And I agreed. We were. Overdue.
I sit over here and write my words and he sits over there, cleans up all the dirty little blemishes and publishes them.
We make a good team.
He's my hero. Truly and sincerely. I admired him as a writer long before I had met him in person. He is and was a fervent community enthusiast. The words he wrote, and writes still, a clear indication of his brilliance and wit.
When I grow up that's exactly the type of writer I want to be.
So working with him has been an immense honor.
Somewhere deep down I feared that this overdue meet up meant he was going to fire me. Scoff at my work in the nicest way possible and simply tell me I didn't cut it.
Some how, the news he delivered was much worse than that even.
He was retiring from the paper.
As he told me this I wondered if this was an epic blow or a grand relief for him and my heart sank because to imagine our community void of his words is nearly impossible.
Luckily I don't have to.
Since he's made it public (in classic, eloquent Ron fashion) he has also announced a new venture of his that will mean the good people of Tacoma and everywhere else will have the opportunity to read his words.
Though I was fairly certain since hearing the news, I had to give it some long hard consideration and have decided to resign as foodie writer for the Weekly Volcano.
The Volcano has been my ultimate pie in the sky goal since I began writing professionally. Once I obtained the coveted position I failed to concoct a new pie in the sky goal. I have enjoyed my work with the paper, however, I can't imagine the Volcano without Ron Swarner and his various other pseudonyms.
He is the very pulse of the pages.
To remain on staff isn't really an option.
So now what?
Well I'm not really certain yet. I may find more freelance work around town. Continue making pitches to SouthSoundTalk.com and South Sound Magazine, do theatre reviews for EdgeSeattle.com and other local publications but I suspect you will see more of my noshing and penning about it here on my blog until I find a new permanent home.
As for the boss man. Though I won't call him boss after this month, he is still my hero and friend and I am quite sure that he's got a little something rad awaiting him. and hopefully all of us too.

I get pissed with the ones asking,,"you can't play guitar"? UH,,no, we have a great guitar player though. I play harmonica....oh, thats nice, are you from Germany? No I play blues harp. Oh,thats nice. So waht about doing Train Train ?
I front currently so I am quite busy singing,,and blowing rhythm and comps when Danny is playing leads on guitar. The wrong key ,,oh mercy,,aint we all had at least a couple embarrassing moments on that deal.
Why didnt you blow on that tune man??? Well dude, iI have 10 harps in my belt,,and not one was in whatever key ya'll playin in. Or I just could not find it,,they called E,,,but nothing,,not one harp sounded right at that moment. I have been playing straight harp more lately since getting with this band.
Having a guitar player thats top notch really has its perks and my guy covers my ass on singing goofs as well as harping goofs. We have really hit a good groove. Band name is Danny Cowan ,,we decided to use that as band name being Danny is known at least a little around San Antonio and moved to NC a few months ago.
And what about the "NO Harp playing idiots that think they can play,,getting up next to the stage and blowing wrong or just jumping in when you are trying to play or sing. Those guys suck, makes me want to take the harp out of his hands and throw far away.
Good topic,, Blomax,,the other Jeff

Customer ReviewsRated 5 out of 5 by TexasMommy76 from Great, Versatile Product! My son received this crab sandbox for his first birthday and we have used it almost non-stop. He is 20 months old, and still adores his sandbox.It is very easy to clean, it is covered so it will protect the sand from being contaminated with neighborhood cats using it for their potty. We have filled it with water and used it as a kiddie pool and we have filled it with sand and used it as a sandbox. It could also be filled with those plastic balls and be used indoors, if needed. I love Step 2 products, because they are so sturdy and the plastic is such high quality! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PRODUCT!!!Date published: 2008-12-22Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from So cute and so much fun! We purchased this sandbox for our 2 year old daughter. We picked this particular one because it has built-in seats (the crab's claws), and it's really cute! Our daughter enjoys playing in this sandbox. We are especially happy with this particular product because the lid stays on perfectly, even in high winds. Our neighbors weren't so lucky, as they purchased a different sandbox and their lid blows away every time the wind blows. This is a good sandbox. It even got hailed on once and shows no damage. (and the lid stayed on, too!)Date published: 2007-08-24Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from I'm Sad to See Crabbie Go! My soon-to-be 12 year old received this for her first birthday. It has been dearly loved for many years by both my daughter and my son. However, they've lost interest in playing in a sand box...much to my dismay! We are thrilled to be able to hand down "Crabbie" to my two year old nephew...and despite some fading of the lid, the sand box is STILL in durable shape! I would recommend this to everyone...enjoy! :-)Date published: 2009-05-31Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from KIDS LOVE IT!! This is a good sand box...We had bought the turtle sand box which is only a couple dollars less and both boys couldnt fit in it and play at the same time... The second day we had it we had a awful storm and the winds were outrages and the lid stayed on... Which surprised me... We also have a lot of cats in the neighbor hood and I was afraid of it becoming a litter box but they cant get the lid off of it...Date published: 2009-05-16Rated 5 out of 5 by Utilitarian Mom from Just Perfect I love this sandbox. It's very sturdy but I can still move it from place to place while I finish landscaping our backyard. Second, I've also been able to use this as a wading pool for him by dumping the sand onto a tarp until I'm ready to convert it back. I was initially concerned that the cover didn't snap into place and that I would open the sandbox to find it filled with debris, but I was pleasantly surprised every time I uncovered a clean sandbox.Date published: 2007-05-31Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Perfect Sandbox! Got this for my son's 1st birthday and 2 years later it still looks brand-new even after the harsh Wisconsin winters. I love that the top stays put no matter how windy it gets but yet it's light enough my son can take it off and put it back on by himself. I'm sure this will be a fixture in our backyard for years to come.Date published: 2013-08-01Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Crabbie Sandbox Crabbie Sandbox is not jsut great for sandplayWe have special needs child and fill the box with pasta and dry beans for sensory play. in summer months use as swimming pool.

Korean people's Thoughts about Marriage
4 comments:
- Anonymous27/11/12 20:51
i think since feminism(FEMINISM IS BASICALLY THE BELIEF THAT MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY) is more established in America, women TEND TO(not necessarily all women though) have more of a EQUAL relationship with their partners/husbands...e.g. husbands and wives share equal chores and responsibility nwhile in traditional countries like Korea and in Asia(generally speaking), the overwhelming burden of household chores still rests mostly on women....so that probably is a factor in why American born women seem more eager to get hitched than Korean women. I have a friend who's parents are originally from Pakistan and her mother does most of the household chores in their family..but my friend is the opposite. She was born in London but mostly raised in the United States..she wants her future husband to have an equal responsibility in household chores, not like the relationship between her parents. She says she feels bad for her mother sometimes because her dad hardly does any of the chores at home. While her mom has to cook food for all the kids and husband and clean the house, do the laundry, wash and stack the dishes.ReplyDelete
As a man, I always wanted to be married and was never a playboy. If one is a playboy there is no reason to get married. But those were not my values. I believed in family values and all should work together for the good of the family.ReplyDelete
@Phoenix totally agree with youReplyDelete

Because American cultures focuses more on the individual and not so much on the group, you have a large number of individuals breaking tradition. - SomuchclassReplyDelete

It's that time of the year again! I'm hoping that I might be able to come up with a bit more stuff this season, other than just the reviews. We'll see what happens...
1. Abaeté:
It's a little weird seeing actual Abaeté clothes, since all I can think of when I hear the name is Payless. This dress is simple and chic and if you switch the shoes and add black tights you can make it a little edgier.
Two beautiful long dresses that are carefree and elegant. Purple is really becoming one of my favorite colors and I love the ruffled detail at the shoulder. The print in the second dress is absolutely beautiful.
3. Alexandre Herchcovitch:
I really liked the concept of this collection and the contrast of prim and proper (tuxedos) with the sheer fabrics and neon colors. Totally downtown chic. The volume, shape and proportion of the little black dress are absolutely spot on. It's very sexy but not trashy. It needs to be in my closet ASAP.
4. Marchesa:
A little reminiscent of recent Dior collections but that doesn't make it any less breathtaking.
5. Rachel Comey:
Total hipster office wear but I can't resist those colors.
6. Rag & Bone:
Flight attendant chic! Love the graphic lines in the dress.

Some NBA players are vibing the new All-Star Game format, in which two captains are tasked with assembling rosters irrespective of conference affiliation.
Other players, though? Not so much.
The Golden State Warriors find themselves adequately represented in both departments by Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry—two players who not only share opposing views, but who are theoretically in the running for the aforementioned captaincy.
Durant, for his part, is against it, as he told The Athletic's Anthony Slater:
"I don't want to do it," Durant told The Athletic. "I'd rather somebody else do it. It's cool to be an All-Star, but all the extra stuff … I just want to go play in the game. (The new format)'s cool, a different way, a creative way that's good for the fans. But me, I'll let somebody else pick the teams."
Curry, on the other hand, is all for it, as he also told Slater:
"Why not?" Curry told The Athletic. "I'll be the first to usher in the new system. I used to go to the playground all the time and you wanted to be the guy picking teams. That meant you were something on the court back in the day. It'll be a cool vibe to see how it all shakes out and how unique you can make the lineups."
These views track with what we know about both players—or rather, what we know about Durant.
While the NBA still has no plans to televise the All-Star draft, we know selections and orders are going to leak out. That's how these things work. (Related: The NBA should just suck it up and televise the draft for this exact reason. They're only providing their two captains with a thin layer of protection by not doing so.)
Will Durant really want it getting out that he passed over a Warriors teammate, like Curry or Draymond Green, should be named captain? Would he want people knowing he potentially passed over Russell Westbrook? Of course not. The dude may or may not have burner social media accounts. We know he still cares what people think. And that's fine. You'll find no criticism of the stock he places in public perception, or his seeming insecurities, in this space.
Curry doesn't have to give two craps about the optics. For one, he's not the type of guy who would pass over teammates in the draft anyway. And two, even if he did, he's the NBA's Golden Boy. He'll get to play it off as nothing—as him just giving the people what they want by making a more objective decision.
Most importantly, unlike Durant, Curry isn't viewed as a championship hanger-on. Like it or not, fair or not, Durant is still battling against the criticism that came with him abandoning the Oklahoma City Thunder. Similar to how to LeBron James only has everything to lose by participating in the NBA's dunk contest, Durant has nothing to gain by being named an All-Star captain.

Mother of three gets her old life back after transplant
A FATIMA woman has spoken out about how a kidney transplant two years ago has given her "old life back".
Mairead Casey (47) spoke about her life-changing transplant to help highlight National Transplant Week, which runs from 30 March to 6 April.
Mairead's story starts back in the late ninties, when she slowly became ill over a period of time before presenting to her doctor, who identified that her kidneys was not functioning normally.
"It was back in 2000, I wasn't feeling all that bad. I never complained about it, but blood tests showed that there was a problem.
"It was a terrible shock to be told your kidneys are failing, especially as I hadn't been feeling particuarly poorly."
Mairead managed to stave off dialysis for a number of years, yet ulimately when her kidneys failed she began the arduous and energy sapping dialysis treatement.
"It was very difficult. You'd feel very sick after the treatment. And you'd have no energy, I just wanted to go home and sleep."
Mairead has three children, aged 24, 19 and 14. Her youngest child, Aaron was only eight years old when she commenced her treatment which for the first few months was carried out at the Mater Hospital and then Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry.
This involved leaving her home early three days a week in the morning before her children left for school for three hours' dialysis treatment. Her oldest child Charlene became was a great support and looked after her two younger brothers getting them up and ready for school and cooking meals for them. Mairead would return home at around 1pm on these days and would go to bed completely exhausted and be woken by her children at around 9pm before they went to bed. She had no quality of life.
Until she got the call that changed her life in March, 2011.
"It was 2.31am in the morning when we got the call. I literally threw some clothes into a bag and went straight to Beaumont. There was excitement and fear. I thought I was in a dream."
Mairead was prepped for the operation, and everything went well.
"Its effect was very quick, I felt so much better in a just a matter of days. Words can't express the difference my kidney transplant has made to me. I feel like I have a new lease of life, like I have my old life back."
She will be forever grateful to her donor and has written a letter to her donor family thanking them for their selfless decision to donate at a time of great sadness.
"I'd like to thanks the staff at Daisy Hill, and at the Mater and the Beaumont for their work over the last number of years. The doctors, nurses and staff have been unbelieveable."
Mairead's story is one that can only be replicated by people who are prepared donate organs. There are currently over 600 people in Ireland awaiting life saving organ transplants including heart, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas. The focus of Organ Donor Awareness Week is to raise awareness about the ongoing and ever increasing demand for organ donation and transplantation, and to seek support from the public to make an informed decision to carry an organ donor card.
Organ Donor Awareness Week also serves as a fundraising exercise for the Irish Kidney Association. Throughout the Week ( 30th March- 6th April, 2013), the Association's volunteers will be out on the streets, and in shopping centres throughout the country, selling 'forget me not flower' emblems (the symbol of transplantation), brooches, pens and shopping trolley discs. All proceeds will go towards the Irish Kidney Association's aid for patients on dialysis and those patients fortunate enough to have received a kidney transplant. The programme includes the management of a 10 double room facility providing free accommodation for patients and their families in the grounds of Beaumont Hospital and holiday centres located in Tramore and Kerry, together with patient advocacy, advice, financial aid and rehabilitative work placement, health promotion and the provision of kidney patient information and education.
Free information factfiles, which accompany organ donor cards, are obtainable from the Irish Kidney Association and are available nationwide from pharmacies, GP surgeries and Citizen Information Offices. Organ Donor Cards can also be obtained by phoning the Irish Kidney Association. LoCall 1890 543639 or Freetext the word DONOR to 50050. Visit website www.ika.ie

How I met CAP
My maternal grandfather (nana) was in the Indian air force at the time of partition. I grew up listening to his stories of dogfights (aerial combat between fighter aircraft), his winning the Clarkson Trophy and various other exciting tales of my country at the time it was being torn into little pieces. I remember sitting by his feet in the garden, playing with his twelve cats and eagerly poring over every word.
From him, I learnt what partition was like for my people. What difficulties they faced, physical and mental. He spoke about how torn people felt when told to leave everything they had and move away to a country being made especially for them. He spoke about leaving family, friends and worldly possessions behind.
Having being born and raised in Karachi, and studying here most of my life, I went through the same rigmarole that everyone else did when it came to learning the history of our country. That green Pakistan studies book, that awful teacher who knew the book by rote, but ask any questions, or have an opinion and all you get in return is a blank stare.
My nana taught me history. Through his words, I learnt about partition; the reasons behind it, the situation and thinking of the times, the political, cultural and religious impact on society et al. It helped me form my own, non-green-pak-studies-book-related opinion about partition, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and even Kashmir.
When I moved back to Karachi after spending nearly ten years living in Canada, I had a chance to spend more time with nana. During this time, he regaled me with the same stories I had grown up listening to. What was really sad was that he was forgetting; some very crucial details and stories were just… lost. Seeing this, my family and I set out hunting for a writer who would record his oral history.
I happened to come across someone who was working with CAP and mentioned my nana. He helped me nominate him for CAP's Oral History Project. When the interns arrived at my house I remember my nana's eyes lit up. He turned to me and said, " it feels so good to know, that my work won't die with me. My story will stay alive and Alayna (his great grand-daughter, my niece) will be able to hear the same stories you did growing up".
Here is an audio visual installation created using his interviews and photographs by the Oral History Project.
Within a week, I heard from Sharmeen O. and she asked me in for an interview as the interns had told her of my personal interest in CAP. When I walked into CAP office I was thrilled, curious, intimidated and excited, all at the same time. I offered up two hours a day as volunteering time. I was there for two hours the first day… eight hours the next and then I just didn't leave.
Now I'm Project Manager here. After working at CAP for over 9 months I have learnt so much. I have so many stories and so many experiences. I'm looking forward to sharing them with all of you.
In the meantime, feedback is much appreciated. Let us know what you'd like to see on here!
Until next time… lets make history so we have something worthwhile to preserve ;)

Village to Village: Tirukkovil Village Orphanage, Sri Lanka
Sponsored by the Village of Brockport, the Town of Sweden, and the State University of New York College at Brockport.
About the Project
Rev. Sinnathamby Thevanesan, or Pastor Theva as he prefers to be known, moved to the U.S. from Sri Lanka in the mid-eighties, and served many churches in western NY before coming to the Brockport United Methodist Church in 2001. Following the recent tsunami, he returned to Sri Lanka to provide counseling to many pastors he once supervised, financial assistance to two churches in his former circuit, and started gathering information that is guiding his Brockport congregation toward further support of these people.
But one non-denominational project may be of interest to the larger community:
The Orphanage
The Orphanage, as it is simply called, is a two-story structure located in the town of Tirukkovil - about 75 miles south of Batticaloa on the east coast of Sri Lanka.
It is governed by a board of directors composed of leaders from the local community, and elected officials of the Methodist church. It has always been ecumenical in nature and exists for humanitarian, not religious purposes. Two populations are served: 71 boys who live in The Orphanage and, since the tsunami, about 14 girls who come there for the day. Collectively they are characterized as "The poorest of the poor."
The boys go to a traditional school during the day, but live at The Orphanage. The younger boys live downstairs and help out with small jobs such as home upkeep, and maintaining a small vegetable garden. The older boys live on the second floor. When they are not at school, they learn basic construction and mechanical skills. They make construction blocks from donated raw materials, learn welding and how to construct basic housing. Many of the boys have lost parents and or siblings.
All the girls are older. While a few came here before, the tsunami dramatically increased their numbers. In many cases they have lost both parents, and are the sole "bread winners" of what remains of their families. They commute from a refugee center to learn how to make clothing for themselves, but more importantly so that they will learn a skill in order to support themselves. One market is making uniforms for local school students. For most of these girls the commute for this training is about five miles - by foot.
Skills training has always been a part of The Orphanage's mission, but the tsunami swept away much of what was needed to teach those skills. When asked what two things specifically were needed most right now, the Director replied: "Sewing machines, but also bicycles. The walk from the refugee center uses up several hours a day when the students could be learning."
Other things are needed too: The facility itself needs repair. Bedding is needed. The Orphanage also lost its few computers, and more tools are needed for construction training. Moreover, there is a need to increase the size of this facility over the next six months in order to support the growing number of children identified as homeless.
The Tsunami Challenge
Goal: To raise $9,060 by Commencement Day (May 14), to be presented as a check to Rev. S. Thevanesan, who will do the invocation at the undergraduate ceremony.
Strategy: To set goals for each sector of the College Community:
- Academic departments and student clubs
- Professional Units
- Residence Halls
- Student service fraternities/sororities/other
|School of Letters and Sciences
|Goal: $1,250

Found in The Chambers Dictionary: inviolable, protected by sacred or qusi-sacred rules.
Latin: sacrosanctus, from sacer (sacred) and Sanctus (pap of sancrite to hollow).
Also can hint at someone's feelings of being above criticism.

thesaurus.com gives these synonyms…
abundant, anticipating, expectant, fruitful
No, I am not. Instead, I'm learning that moments are. Bits of time swollen with the fruit of God's grace. Rarely, do I even look around the mound to see the treasure within.
Yesterday, time slowed for a few hours. Three sisters in Christ gathered 'round a little Yorkie swollen and laboring. While children ran in and out and played around, we had the front row seat. We came to see birth.. we came to see 3 brand spankin' new puppies.
We three friends, who usually lament we need to get together, sat and talked some and prayed some more. We gathered together around the Throne of Grace and upheld each other and laid down our pain. With tears, we prayed for ourselves, for each other and for others.
For where two or three have gathered together in My name,
I am there in their midst.
Matthew 18:20 (NASB)
The moment was not pregnant with the birth of puppies… those came in the middle of the night without an audience. Instead, this slow moving swollen time birthed grace… mercy… love… joy and acceptance in our presence…
…because He was present in the swollen moment.

Below are some answers to questions commonly asked.
Almost every call or email I am asked "What could be the problem and what will it cost" or "can you give me a quote".
Sorry but I don't have super powers or can see into your machine via the internet and diagnose machines remotely.
A quote is not always possible as you often have to fix one problem to find others before you know the final cost.
Sometimes you can see a problem and know the remedy and cost instantly.
A quote will be provided where possible at no cost.

One of the most important pieces of advice I'd like to give to parents and trainers who just cannot seem to keep themselves in check along the rail of a flat class....
Refrain from yelling change diagonals; change leads; sit a step; look up; smile; blah blah blah.....
The only thing yelling from the rail does, is point out to the judge (that's me), that your student or child is doing something wrong and I, the judge (that's me), should look to see what they are doing wrong.
This is my opinion and other judges may differ on opinion but for me (and many other judges), I will not count off for a wrong diagonal if it is changed within a stride or two. I will not count off for a wrong lead if it is immediately corrected unless I need a tie breaker for placings. I may write the back number down on wrong lead pick-ups in a canter/lope if they change directions and I want to see if they can 'cue' for the correct lead/the horse picks up the correct lead, but at a schooling show for sure, I may note it, but it doesn't mean I'll completely kick you out of the placings if you post on the wrong diagonal for a stride or two picking up the trot. It would have to be a dead heat with another rider in contention for placing for me to worry about a stride or two off the correct diagonal at the trot in an equitation class whether it's a medal or short stirrup division.
So my advice to trainers and/or parents yelling from the rail during a flat class.....
- think twice about whether the rider needs your advice
- remember this is a show (schooling or otherwise) and not a lesson
- will your commands be heard by the rider or the judge?
- maybe this could be a good learning opportunity for the rider (short stirrup and the like division).
- how much does my voice carry?
- will the world end if this rider does not win the blue?
- does the tri-color ribbon mean more than the lesson to be learned by the rider?
- are you more obnoxious than an entry that makes the judge wait 10 minutes for your trainer to be done in the other ring?
- do wheaties get soggy in whole milk or skim milk?
Yep, that last one will really tell you if your yelling, is just hurting your rider more than helping regardless of the type of show.... schooling show and/or rated show and/or breed show and/or any show. Schooling show just means it is a show that is not sanctioned by a higher governing body. It doesn't mean every (or any) class, is a 'lesson'. Yes, it's a learning tool but as the 'rail yeller', please ask yourself
- does the judge need you narrating your riders mistakes?
- are you helping that rider or just pointing out their mistakes to the judge?
It's really not a big thing. It's a horse show; it's a ribbon; it's a title; it's series points; it's zone points; it's points towards an ROM or whatever; it's points towards a scholarship....it's what it is...a show. Let those students make mistakes and SHOW what they have learned.
Safe rides and best of show to everyone!!!

After a brief stint with the Scorpions in 1978-79, Schenker decided to form his own band, appropriately named the Michael Schenker Group (MSG). While MSG showed flashes of strong material, the group's album were also notoriously inconsistent, plagued by the continued alcohol abuse of Schenker (which also led to significant turnover within the band).
In 1986, Schenker recruited Irish vocalist Robin McAuley and was so impressed by the songwriting that he re-named the band the McAuley Schenker Group. This version of MSG would go on to release three studio albums, one EP and one live album before McAuley left the band (to get married and temporarily retire from the industry) in 1993.
The McAuley Schenker Group's sound was more commercial than most of Schenker's other work. This was not accidental; the group moved to Los Angeles and tried to cross over during the heavy metal heyday of the mid to late 1980's. Unfortunately, significant commercial success eledued them.
For the blog, we went with "Gimme Your Love" from the first McAuley Schenker Group album, 1987's Perfect Timing. The song did not break to top 100 (though it did hit #40 on the Mainstream Rock Charts), while the album peaked at #92.
Schenker remains active in the industry to the present day, and has been involved in occasional reunions with UFO. McAuley also remains in the industry, and was the lead vocalist for Survivor from 2006 - 2011. He has also performed with Schenker, notably on his 2012 tour.
Cool trivia fact: At different points in his career, Michael Schenker was asked to audition for the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith and Ozzy Osbourne. Obviously, none of the auditions worked out.

French voters have started casting ballots for the presidential election under heightened security in a tense first-round poll that is seen as a test for the spread of populism around the world.
More than 60,000 polling stations opened on Sunday for voters who will choose between 11 candidates in the most unpredictable election in decades.
Security was tight after a deadly attack on the Champs-Elysees on Thursday in which a police officer and a gunman were killed.
The government has mobilised more than 50,000 police and gendarmes to protect polling stations, with an additional 7,000 soldiers on patrol.
The vote "is really important, mainly because we really need a change in this country with all the difficulties we are facing and terrorism," said Paris resident Alain Richaud, who was waiting to cast his vote.
It is the first time in living memory a presidential election is taking place during a state of emergency, which was put in place after the Paris attacks of November 2015.
Opinion polls point to a tight race among the four leading contenders vying to advance to the May 7 presidential run-off, when the top two candidates face off.
Polls suggest far-right nationalist Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron, an independent centrist and former economy minister, were in the lead.
Scottish politics: News, comment and expert analysis
However, conservative Francois Fillon, a former prime minister who was embroiled in a scandal over alleged fake jobs, appeared to be closing the gap, as was far-left candidate Jean-Luc Melenchon.
Unpopular incumbent President Francois Hollande made the unusual move last year of pledging to not stand for re-election.
France's 10 per cent unemployment rate, its struggling economy and security were issues that top concerns for the 47 million eligible voters.
The 11 candidates are voting throughout the day.
• World news from The Scotsman
Hardline right-winger Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, who rails against Europe, was the first of the presidential candidates to vote in his constituency in the leafy Paris suburbs.
Far-left candidate Nathalie Arthaud cast her ballot soon after in the Paris suburb of Pantin.
Mr Fillon will vote in Paris but his Welsh-born wife Penelope - who has been handed preliminary charges for her role in the fake jobs scandal that rocked her husband's campaign - voted 155 miles away near their 14th-century manor house in Sarthe.
Outgoing president Mr Hollande cast his vote in his political fiefdom of Tulle in Correze.
The Socialist candidate is 49-year-old Benoit Hamon, who is not among the presidential frontrunners.
If Ms Le Pen or Mr Melenchon win a spot in the run-off, it will be seen as a victory for the rising wave of populism reflected by the votes for Donald Trump and Brexit.
Mr Macron and Mr Fillon are committed to European unity and would reform employment rules.

Florida Georgia Line Hosting First American Country Countdown Awards
The live show airing on Fox on Dec. 15 will feature performances and honor the top acts in country music
Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard, the country duo who perform as Florida Georgia Line, will host Fox's American Country Countdown Awards on Dec. 15.
The new show is based on the country music radio countdown show, American Country Countdown With Kix Brooks.
According to an announcement Thursday by producer Dick Clark Productions, the telecast will honor top acts in country music with awards and include performances and additional surprises.
The show will be broadcast live on Fox from the Music City Center in Nashville.
"Bryan and Tyler are incredible artists and friends with undeniable chemistry that will make them the perfect hosts," said Dick Clark executive vp programming and development Mark Bracco.
Best known for such singles such as "Get Your Shine On" and "Cruise," Florida Georgia Line recently broke the record for having a song ("Cruise") the longest at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles Chart. That song is also the best-selling digital country single of all time.
Their latest single to go gold is "Dirt," from their second album, Anything Goes, which will be released Oct. 14.
The band also is behind the Dirt Campaign, working with the fundraising platform Omaze to benefit Habitat for Humanity, the nonprofit that creates affordable housing for low-income families.
The duo, who have been recording since 2011, have won honors for their music from the ACA, AMA, ACM, Billboard, CMA and CMT Awards.
The American Country Countdown Awards will be produced for Dick Clark by Allen Shapiro, Mike Mahan and Bracco, along with John Dickey of Cumulus, Richard Godfrey (MTV Europe Music Awards) and Tom Forrest (CMT Crossroads). Baz Halpin is co-executive producer.
Dick Clark Productions and The Hollywood Reporter are both owned by affiliates of Guggenheim Partners.

Just when Eminem seems done for, he always manages to claw his way back into the cultural conversation. Marshall Mathers's most recent act of career resuscitation came this October, when his a capella anti-Trump freestyle at the BET Hip-Hop Awards won praise from those desperate to hear celebrities risk alienating their fan base with unambiguous political statements. Em's sudden interest in the state of the nation colors much of "Revival," but in the absence of any other compelling new ideas, his good intentions fail to salvage the album.
The excessive run time of "Revival" (19 songs, 77 minutes) gives Eminem room to touch on pretty much every style he's tried over the past few albums. There's the Rick Rubin-helmed classic rock rips of "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" ("Remind Me," "Heat"), ham-fisted ballads about toxic relationships straight from the "Recovery" playbook ("River," "Need Me") — even a regrettable return to the accent-heavy horrorcore of "Relapse" ("Framed"). Meanwhile, the trap-influenced beats of "Believe" and "Chloraseptic" coax some of the old Slim Shady swagger out of Eminem; it's enough to make you wish he'd let modern producers push him out of his corny comfort zone for a whole album. Yet the absence of a single guest MC confirms that, rather than engage with modern hip-hop, Eminem would rather just rap, at length and on his own terms.
While Eminem once switched between comedy and tragedy so fluidly that listeners often confused one for the other, on "Revival" he makes the intentions behind every song tediously obvious. The sex-rap groaners of "Remind Me" and "Heat" are so goofy they might as well be written in Comic Sans, while the shock-jock gags of "Framed" and "Offended" sound more like pandering to the puerile element of Mathers's fan base than genuine expressions of antisocial angst. Throughout, the rapping is as technically impressive as always, but many of the more complex rhyme schemes come out stilted, and at some point following the endless barrage of verbiage just feels like work. The same flaw sinks his protest songs; though his musings on racism, white privilege, and our president's flaws are ideologically solid, the tracks they're yoked to just aren't musically engaging enough to rope in the unconvinced.
For about a decade now, Eminem has been too big to fail, too driven to stop, and too old (or, more likely, stubborn) to change. "Revival" succumbs to that deadly combination, failing to restore Eminem to the heights that his hand-wringing verses on "Walk on Water" make clear that he still badly craves. What's moderately enjoyable for two or three songs at a time becomes a slog over the course of 19, and unless he learns how to self-edit and pushes himself to grow artistically, Eminem's probably doomed to keep making albums like "Revival" forever.Terence Cawley can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Echinocactus ingens
What a cool barrel, I love this cactus. This barrel will keep its nice round shape and the larger it gets the more pronounced it's purple diagonal stripes will become. It will also produce the cream colored cotton on the top of the plant. When old enough to bloom the flowers are a silky butter yellow. Add this cactus to your collection. Locally called the Mother-in-Law's seat.

Prut River7 Share Tweet
Remember my last location, the Carpathian Mountains? Well this time around, I asked the old woman to tell me the story of a boy named Prut, whose heartbreaking tale made him quite known in this region prompting the locals to name this river after him.
Once upon a time there was a boy named Prut, who worked in the mountains. One day, he was working for so long that he decided to stay overnight in the mountains and slept under a big pine tree. During his sleep he dreamed about a beautiful girl who was all dressed in green. She came to him, stroked his hair and sang a song. But as the boy stretched out to reach for her hand, she disappeared the he woke up, but no one was around. He couldn't shake off the image of the girl out of his head so he decided to find her.
On the following night, he laid under the same pine tree but didn't go to sleep as he was waiting for the girl. As she neared the tree, he jumped and hugged her before even asking for her name. She smiled and said that her name's "Horvela". They instantly fell in love and after that night, Prut was almost never seen again in the village.
Horvela's father was the mountain tsar, therefore she could not come down from the mountains and be among the people.When he found out about Horvela's romance with Prut, he cursed her but Horvela could not live without her lover and jumped from a high cliff, resulting to a terrible wind which destroyed everything in its path. The following morning, people saw that in place of a valley, there is now a big mountain.
For a long time Prut looked for Hoverla. He ran to the mountain and thought she heard her voice and never returned back to his village. Since then, water started to flow down through a mountain river, laying a path between rocks and people named the river "Prut", and the mountain "Hoverla".
The River Prut, is approximately 850 km long, and rises in the Carpathian Mountains in Western Ukraine. For most of its length, it serves as the border between Romania & Moldova until it finally flows into the River Danube at Reni which is close to the Black Sea.
Between 1918 and 1940 it was almost entirely in Romania. Prior to that it also served as a border between Romania and the Russian Empire. After World War II the river resumed its border purpose between Romania and the Soviet Union. Nowadays, for a length of 695 km it forms the border between Romania and Moldova. The biggest city along its banks is Chernivtsi, Ukraine.

Hardy's E, Britton's walks doom Orioles v. Twins
J.J. Hardy is one of the players Baltimore manager Buck
Showalter knows he can lean on when things get tough.
The Orioles are having a pretty hard time lately, and for one of
the few times in Hardy's season and a half in Baltimore, the steady
shortstop faltered in a big moment.
Hardy's throwing error in the seventh inning led to two runs
that proved to be the difference in a 6-4 loss to the Minnesota
Twins on Tuesday night.
"It's frustrating, for sure," Hardy said. "Whenever defense
or pitching lets us down, or even hitting, it's frustrating."
The game was tied with two outs in the bottom of the seventh
when Jamey Carroll and Denard Span reached on back-to-back singles.
Hardy's errant throw got past Mark Reynolds at first base on a play
that was ruled a hit for Span and an error that allowed Carroll to
advance to third.
"It was a tough play," said Hardy, who committed just his
fifth error of the season. "Denard's fast. I didn't get a good
grip on it and just tried to get it over there."
With new life, Ben Revere's bloop single gave the Twins a 5-4
lead and Mauer followed with a single that tailed just past a
diving Hardy's glove to make it 6-4.
Showalter wasn't about to fault Hardy, a player the manager has
high respect for after watching his work ethic and production since
he arrived in Baltimore.
"It was a play that Mark usually makes," Showalter said.
"J.J.'s one of the best shortstops in baseball. He made a lot of
plays tonight a lot of guys don't make."
Adam Jones hit a three-run homer for Baltimore, but Zach Britton
gave up four runs on six hits with a career-high six walks in four
innings as the O's dropped their third in a row to fall 10 games
behind the Yankees in the AL East.
Jones was at the plate with a runner on in the ninth, but Jared
Burton struck him out for his third save.
Joe Mauer had three hits and an RBI for the Twins, who got 4 2-3
innings of scoreless relief from their bullpen to rally from a 4-1
Alex Burnett (3-2) pitched an inning for the win and Luis Ayala
(2-3) gave up two runs on five hits in 2 2-3 innings for the
Jeff Gray, Tyler Robertson, Burnett and Glen Perkins combined to
get the ball to Burton after a surprising pitching duel between
Britton and Samuel Deduno fizzled quickly in the fifth.
Britton was making his season debut after a long road of
recovery from shoulder problems. He had platelet-rich plasma
therapy in March and didn't start pitching in the minor leagues
until being optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on June 6.
Britton gave up a run on a double by Jamey Carroll that tied the
game in the fourth inning and was knocked out of the game in the
fifth after back-to-back walks loaded the bases with nobody out.
Doumit followed with a two-run single off of Ayala and Brian
Dozier's RBI single tied the game at 4.
"Six walks is absolutely unacceptable," Britton said.
"There's no way that should happen. I put Ayala in a tough spot
and he did the best he could."
Things looked good for the Orioles early when Nick Markakis, who
had three hits, scored on a wild pitch for a 1-0 lead in the first
inning and Jones hit a three-run blast to make it 4-1 in the
But Britton couldn't hold it.
"It was really frustrating," Britton said. "I expect to go
deep in games. We put up a four-spot and I have to go out and
attack those guys."
Deduno gave up four runs – three earned – on six hits with five
walks and five strikeouts in 4 1-3 innings.
"We just need to put it back together," Hardy said. "It's
been a rough couple of games. We need to turn it around."
NOTES: The Orioles had a web gem in the eighth when Reynolds
tracked a foul ball back toward the seats and made the catch as he
tumbled into the stands to retire Dozier. … Baltimore fell to
16-4 when Jones homers. … Showalter said they wouldn't rush 2B
Brian Roberts' decision on whether to have surgery to repair a
groin injury that put the oft-injured Roberts on the DL on July 3.
"It's a pretty serious decision," Showalter said. "Surgery takes
him out for the year." … The Twins will go to LHP Francisco
Liriano (3-8, 4.93) on Wednesday night in the third gamer of the
series. Liriano has been superb since rejoining the rotation and
struck out 15 in his previous start. He'll face Orioles RHP Tommy
Hunter (3-4, 6.11), who is being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to
make the start.
