Two of America's iconic musical genres are featured in the top two items of this week's performing arts schedule. In each case, there are significant twists and alternate takes.
The Ossipee Valley Music Festival began about two decades ago as one of several fine bluegrass festivals in Maine. But over the years this annual South Hiram alfresco gathering has gone beyond bluegrass, edging toward a broader concept of American music.
Prefer vintage rock and roll? In Brunswick, Maine State Music Theatre is running its most nostalgic offering of the summer. "Grease" is a Broadway musical with a sound and feel that's straight out of the 1950s.
Prefer classical? New and old are both present in spades in Brunswick as the Bowdoin International Music Festival enters its final week.
In the final summer of the 20th century, the Ossipee Valley Bluegrass Festival was founded on the banks of its namesake river on a fairground in South Hiram, about 45 minutes west of Portland.
Nearly two decades later, the festival remains a pillar of Maine's summertime performing arts schedule, but it's been renamed and somewhat re-purposed. I've attended most of those years, and plan to go again this weekend.
This year's Ossipee Valley Music Festival runs July 27-30. The top acts are slated to perform Friday evening, Saturday from noon to late evening and Sunday until mid-afternoon.
Bluegrass remains part of the festival, but there are many variations, and it's fair to loosely categorize the whole lineup as "old-timey." Americana is another broad description. Plus there's a heavy emphasis on female performers and ensembles.
A total of 25 national, regional and local acts have been booked by Ossipee impresario Bill Johnson.
This year's top billing goes to the Grammy Award-winning Steep Canyon Rangers. These six guys have won wide acclaim as Steve Martin's band. However, they have been digging themselves a deep, rich home in bluegrass and roots music in their own right for 15-plus years.
The top-billed woman is Nellie McKay, an inimitable, and delightful songstress, actress, comedian and storyteller. Her career has spanned the gamut from Doris Day cover songs to her own wry jazz and folk numbers to musical theater. Sierra Hull, mandolin wiz and singer, is the top-billed woman on Friday's program.
Among my personal favorite local acts are New England Bluegrass, three guys and two ladies from seacoast New Hampshire, and Lula Wiles, three women from Boston who have strong Maine connections.
Ossipee Valley sports a true alfresco festival atmosphere, including multiple food vendors and retail sales. Bring folding chairs. (A tent is available in case of rain.) Overnight camping is also available. Visit ossipeevalley.com.
For its penultimate offering of 2017, Maine State Music Theatre has chosen one of the most nostalgic shows ever to appear on Broadway. "Grease," a tuneful and thoughtful look back at high school in the 1950s, has book and score by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey plus additional songs by John Farrar.
"Grease" imagines the senior class of fictional Rydell High School in 1959, and the dozen or so significant characters mostly comprise a bunch of lovable misfits who are roughly divided into two factions: the Burger Palace Boys and the Pink Ladies. The primary romantic pairing involves the show-off leader of the Boys sparring with the ingenue, a lovely blonde from a very conservative family who tries to fit in with the rough-and-tumble Ladies, but doesn't cut it.
The long-lasting appeal of this show is the romance between two very different people who think they know who they are and where they fit, but discover they need to change to become whole.
During the 1970s, "Grease" held the record for longest-ever run on Broadway, and it was later made into a sensationally successful movie. "Grease" remains one of the most frequently produced shows at all levels of American theater.
The score is a pastiche of styles popular in the 1950s, recalled so faithfully that one might assume that "Grease" is a jukebox musical. But it's 100 percent original with Jacobs, Casey and Farrar.
I loved this production. Neil Starkenberg and Chelsea Williams are perfect as the juvenile-ingenue pairing. Williams is a Maine native who grew up in Windham and is making great headway on a career in professional musical theater.
For the show's second-tier romance, Kevin Neitzel and Gerianne Perez are equally well matched. Charis Leos, as Rydell's principal, is hilarious as one of the handful of adult characters.
Maine State Music Theatre presents "Grease" through Aug. 5 at Pickard Theater on the Bowdoin College campus in Brunswick. Call 725-8769 or visit msmt.org.
They're counting down to the end of 2017 at the Bowdoin International Music Festival in Brunswick, but a huge sample of the whole spectrum of its many and varied offerings can be experienced over the final eight days.
A pair of concerts remain in the Festival Friday series. Two modern classical composers who highlight the festival's longstanding commitment to today's cutting-edge music will be featured this Friday. A percussionist will play flower pots (yes) alongside a cellist in Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw's work, "Boris Kerner," named for a transportation engineer who developed an influential theoretical model for vehicular traffic. It is juxtaposed with Andrew Norman's "Gran Turismo," inspired in part by traffic flows of another sort: high-speed race cars in video games. In more traditional fare, a string sextet by Johannes Brahms will conclude the evening.
On August 4 – the final date of the 2017 festival – piano virtuoso Joseph Kalichstein will direct and interpret Beethoven's magisterial Piano Concerto No. 5. It's been a specialty of the world-renowned pianist since 1970. Other composers on this program are Johann Sebastian Bach and Arnold Bax.
On July 31 the Monday Showcase series concludes with the Borromeo String Quartet playing works by classical giants Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann plus 20th-century avant-garde composer Gyogy Ligeti.
On August 2 the Festival Wednesday series concludes with a concert that opens with Louise Farrenc's Piano Quintet. Farrenc was a 19th-century pianist, pedagogue and music theorist at the Paris Conservatory.
This Saturday and Sunday mark the final two concerts of the Gamper Festival of Contemporary Music. Gamper programs aren't announced in advance, but they normally embrace works by festival faculty composers, their top students and guest artists.
Eight free concerts in the Young Artists series are scheduled between July 28 and August 4, plus there are several remaining free Community Concerts. Many events take place on the Bowdoin College campus in Brunswick. Visit bowdoinfestival.org.
Tunes and dance styles of the 1950s are featured in "Grease," the current offering at Maine State Music Theatre in Brunswick.

City councillors have failed to see the light over an energy-saving initiative to put 42 solar panels on a historic Birmingham church rooftop.
A preservation order on the 15th Century St Mary's Church, on St Mary's Row, in Moseley, has put a stop to the plan to provide free energy and boost parish funds.
There were angry exchanges as the council's planning committee voted by a narrow seven to five margin to refuse the green initiative.
Church leaders, supported by local community groups, argued that the move would secure the financial future of the parish by reducing the hefty burden of fuel bills, as well as doing their bit for the environment.
Professor John Dowell said: "I care about the preservation of historic buildings and conservation of the climate. These panels would be secured in a discrete way."
Moseley councillor Ernie Hendricks (Lib Dem), speaking in support, added: "There are some council planning policies supporting sustainability, the climate change agenda and those for the conservation of historic buildings. We believe the balance here is in favour of the environment. The panels can be removed easily."
But city council conservation officers and advisors decided that the panels would be too great an eyesore on the Grade II listed building.
Coun Paula Smith (Lib Dem, Hall Green), chairwoman of the conservation panel, said: "We employ people to advise us on conservation and when they say that this is unacceptable we should take heed. Suppose if they wanted panels on the Council House or the Town Hall, we would not stand for it."
She was backed by Coun Bob Beauchamp (Cons, Erdington), who said: "These solar panels are most inefficient when placed like that. They should not be allowed on a Grade II listed building."
But Coun Mike Sharpe (Lab, Tyburn) argued that the very future of the church is at stake. "We have a church in my area which was not allowed to modernise because of a conservation order. Nine years it has now been empty and it will cost a quarter-of-a-million pounds to restore the roof."

Family and friends of the family of 5-year old Payton Benson attended a celebration of life service this morning at Omaha's Clair United Methodist Church.
Last week the little girl had just finished eating breakfast when a stray bullet from a gun battle a block away went through her home and struck her.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Omaha police did arrest five men in connection to a stolen vehicle that was seen leaving the area at the time of the shooting. No charges have been made in the shooting itself.
The community of Omaha continues to support Payton's family. The Omaha Black Police Officers Association held a benefit for Payton last night at the Pizza Ranch restaurant. Officers waited tables and all tips and a portion of all sales went to her memorial fund. The event was well attended.

(i have been doing some random design projects on the side so if you ever need anything done let me know.. i'd love to help.)
Well... the story is pretty crazy. Ammon and I have always wanted to make it back up to the salt lake valley at some point in our lives together. We loved st. George, our house, our ward, our jobs, etc.. but eventually we really wanted to raise our kids up 'north'. Not that there was anything wrong with raising or family in stg, but we know there are more opportunities up in Salt Lake. We never thought it was in the plan to leave any time soon.
Randomly one day a friend of mine from my Dixie days posted that her company was looking to hire a new Global Trainer. Coincidentally I had looked at applying for this job numerous times and had read lots of reviews on the company as a whole.. I wrote my friend for information and she had me send in my resume. I figured it would be good to make contacts in case ammon and I ever did end up moving to SLC.. But i never wanted to move our family for MY job. I am not planning on working forever, and I didnt want that pressure of moving for myself. So basically i applied on wednesday night, got called for an interview on Thursday, and drove up for my interview on Friday. The interview went well but I really didnt think much of it. That afternoon on my way back to st george.. i got a call for a second interview.. but this time i was supposed to come prepared to give a 10-30 minute presentation in front of a panel. NERVE WRACKING.
The next week I headed back up to Lehi and gave my short but sweet presentation. I told ammon that I didnt think it went that well and that I did not think i was that impressive. So that whole weekend we didnt even talk about the possibility of getting the job and sort of just forgot the whole thing even happened. Monday morning rolls around and I got a call from Young Living saying that they loved my presentation and wanted to offer me the presentation.. TALK ABOUT CRAZY. I was at work at the time, so i called ammon bawling.. a little shell shocked, and sure enough we knew we had a big decision to make. Young living wanted to know my decision by the end of the day so ammon and I were a little pressed for time. I immediately talked to my bosses at Ydraw to see what my options were for staying there.. ie getting a raise.. new positions etc.. and as soon as I walked out of my meeting with them I knew that staying with Ydraw was no longer an option. Everything in the meeting was so unsettling and NOT reassuring in any way. Ammon and I met up for lunch and to my relief, he had been having the feeling that we needed to take the job as well.
So I called and accepted the position on December 23. On Christmas eve we went up to SLC, and on the 26th we started our apartment search. On the 28th we signed a lease for the apartment, on the 2nd of January we put our house up for sale, on the 11th we accepted an offer.. and on the 13th I officially moved up to Sandy until we could move into our apartment! What a crazy few weeks it was! Ammon moved up on the 19th, and started his job on the 21. It was absolute madness how quickly things fell into place, but I am so grateful for this new adventure and opportunity we have been blessed with! :) I was SOO sad to sell our house, but i have come to grips with it and i am so happy to be in LEHI!.. soon enough we will buy our next house but honestly i am happy with our cute little apartment.
|Obviously i hadnt done much with our room yet ;)

Elvira Bill is the daughter of Emerson Bill and Nora Tahe Bill. She is also the sister of Jerald Tahe. Like Jerald, she learned to smith silver from her parents and makes bracelets in the same style as her parents. Some of her bracelets are made from a single thickness of sheet silver and stamped very deeply, while others are made from two layers of sheet silver and the design is cut out of the overlayer which is soldered to the foundational layer of silver.
This bracelet is made from 12 gauge Sterling sheet silver and is characterized by deep, biting stampwork with the stamped portion heavily oxidized, while the unstamped portion is polished to a high shine. This cuff was shaped to soft convexity. Rustic, heavy, absolutely indestructible!

Printed wrappers with feather fleuron on the front cover, stapled; binding square and tight, light toning and soiling to covers. Muir Dawson's copy. SCARCE. Very Good. Sally Rand (1904-1979) was a burlesque dancer and actress, most noted for her ostrich feather fan dance and balloon bubble dance; she also performed under the name Billie Beck. Rand acted on stage and appeared in silent films. Cecile B. DeMille gave her the name Sally Rand, inspired by a Rand McNally atlas. After sound pictures became the vogue, Rand became a dancer; her most famous appearance was at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair where she was arrested four times in a single day due to perceived indecent exposure after a fan dance performance and while riding a white horse down the streets of Chicago, and again after being body-painted by Max Factor, Sr. Sally Rand died on August 31, 1979 at the Foothill Presbyterian Hospital, in Don Pfleuger's hometown, Glendora, aged 75 from congestive heart failure. At the time of her death she was deeply in debt, but Sammy Davis, Jr. paid for Rand's funeral expenses. Not in Worldcat.

Macro-moths (larger moths) ~ Part 5
Part 5 includes a selection of moth images from the following super families: Notodontidae and Erebidae
Links to the different families on this page....
Notes to accompany image: In my last few days in Wales, I found a Vapourer larva whilst looking
for pyrocantha mines. I brought it back to Crouch End and it pupated on
18.09.07. A female emerged on 27.09.07 and it was not released until 29.09.07, because the weather was so cold and windy. We took it
to Alexandra Park as it was warm and sunny. When we arrived, the sun had
gone in and nothing happened for the first 10 minutes, so we moved
further into the park. The sun came out again as we left the moth on
the grass near sallows, elms, and oaks. After five minutes, a male Vapourer
appeared and then two more. It took a few minutes for the first male to
find the female, even though they were in the box together! We left the
female on her cocoon in a tree crevice - Helen Bantock

As long as we're talking about one of the greatest scientists who ever lived, let's move on to Newton's other famous laws. His three laws of motion form an essential component of modern physics. And like many scientific laws, they're rather elegant in their simplicity.
The first of the three laws states an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. For a ball rolling across the floor, that outside force could be the friction between the ball and the floor, or it could be the toddler that kicks the ball in another direction.
The second law establishes a connection between an object's mass () and its acceleration (a), in the form of the equation F = m a. represents force, measured in Newtons. It's also a vector, meaning it has a directional component. Owing to its acceleration, that ball rolling across the floor has a particular vector, a direction in which it's traveling, and it's accounted for in calculating its force.
The third law is rather pithy and should be familiar to you: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That is, for every force applied to an object or surface, that object pushes back with equal force.
What are the three scientific laws.
Every second of every day, you and I are working to frustrate this Law, to perhaps break this Law, albeit for a momentary blip in time. Humans are the manifestation of nature's ultimate rebel, flexing and contorting this law to it's whim, flaunting it's successes and teasing it to be gone. This Law cares not who we are, what we are doing and why we are doing it. This Law is the beginning and end of just about all Laws, both natural laws and human created Laws.

We will be bringing 9 children from the Khemelnetsky region. I had the opportunity to travel and meet these precious kiddos this past week--- and let me just say that now that I've seen their faces, and heard pieces of their stories I am even more motivated and excited to bring these kids to the US for hosting this summer.
Each year our ministry partners with Ukraine Orphan Outreach in Colorado to bring kids to the US for a summer hosting camp (which we will continue to do this summer as well). But this is the first time I will be brining kids 'home' with me, and for that opportunity I am extremely grateful. It is a privilege to be given this possibility to expose my home church to the needs of orphans and give them a window into my world in Ukraine.
But we need help to make our plans a reality! By June we need to raise close to $18,000 to pay for the airfare, visas, documents and needed supplies in the US. When looking at that sum it can seem like a lot of money and a bit daunting, however when I start to think of how many people I know, and how many people have a heart for these kids, and I take into consideration that God is able to do immeasurably more than I could ask or imagine- I know that this sum is really not big at all!
So I am asking you to pray for this project and also pray about how God may lead you to give. We have a blog set up here: (Window to Hope) that you can visit to find out more about the project, and learn how to make a donation online.
Checks can also be sent and designated through CoLink:

I won't be able to post pictures of the kids online at this time, just for their protection and for ours- but I will just say that there are 9 adorable children anticipating a fun filled 3 weeks in the US this summer, and I am praying we will be able to see it happen!
"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
~Ephesians 3:17-21
I will keep you updated as things move along...

Getting pain between the scapulae – shoulder blades is actually common for all. There are n numbers of reasons in getting back pain between shoulder blades, often could be tired, restless, long travel, long ride et al. Normally these pains will come for a while with above-mentioned reasons and go in a while once after a sound sleep and good rest & relaxation.
What Sitting Too Long Does to Your Body?
Since human body's back is supported by the central nervous system and the spinal cord, whatever the jerk you get on lower, middle and upper back, you are ought to catch the pain very commonly. When comparing the cases, lower back pain is quite common wherein the upper back pain is quite rare, but if so, one must suffer a lot. Because, upper back pain stimulates between the shoulders blades, leaving forearms and neck to be under severe pain.
Appending below are few of the issues that cause back pain between the scapulae.
- Wrong Posture: Positions of either sitting or standing are very important, wherein wrong posture will lead you to get pain between the shoulder blades immediately. Because stooping forward while sitting or standing will leave your head weight pressing down on the shoulders. When the head is pressed down in an upright position, the abnormal weight creates stability over the provided muscles, the hence pain starts spreading. Adding to that, the muscles in the shoulder blades starts suffering from the pain also because of tired, peeved and exacerbated muscles. Thus positioning is a vital role for the pain-free. Once started getting pain, then proper posture, exercises and enough rest to the back are the ways to get rid of the pain.
- Disc prolapsed: Disc prolapsed is also considered as 'herniated discs' or 'slipped discs' wherein it occurs commonly in the lower back. Discs are a gel-like padded structure that could found between the vertebrae. It acts as 'shock absorber' in the spinal cord column as for how a shock absorber in the motor-bikes. When the disc gets wounded by any of the injuries, and if gets damaged, cracked or swollen, then there raise the issues of pain starting from lower back elaborating to upper back, which in final will lead to feeling difficulty in moving arms and hands, lifting weight et al. This can be treated by physiotherapy, regular exercises, wearing a magnetic belt around the waiting part and by putting traction.
- Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis can be found when a human body starts getting pain in the active hours of the day, say for the morning, and evening. One starts feeling pain in the center part of the upper back which will radiate to the shoulder blades gradually, wherein it affects only the joints.
Of all the above causes, 'the wrong posture' is one common evil that causes pain in the back between the shoulder blades. The other causes that discussed above rightly have the chance of affecting human body over 40 + years of age, generally, can say as older ages.

Topkapi Palace was not only the residence of the Ottoman sultans, but also the administrative and educational center of the state. Initially constructed between 1460 and 1478 by Sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, and expanded upon and altered many times throughout its long history, the palace served as the home of the Ottoman sultans and their court until the middle of the 19th century. In the early 1850s, the palace became inadequate to the requirements of state ceremonies and protocol, and so the sultans moved to Dolmabahçe Palace, located on the Bosphorus. But despite this move, the royal treasure, the Holy Relics of the Prophet Muhammad, and the imperial archives continued to be preserved at Topkapý, andsince the palace was the ancestral residence of the Ottoman dynasty as well as the place where the Holy Relics were preservedTopkapý continued to play host to certain state ceremonies. Following the abolishment of the Ottoman monarchy in 1922, Topkapý Palace was converted into a museum on 3 April 1924, on the order of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk.
Topkapi Palace, which developed and grew over the centuries, had a design that itself played an important role in Ottoman governmental philosophy and in the relations between the palace and its subjects. When Topkapý was first built, its plan was influenced by the splendor of the Edirne Palace located on the Tunca River, which had been constructed by Mehmed IIs father, Sultan Murad II (r. 142144, 144651) but very little of which survives today. The basic design of the palace is centered on various courtyards and gardens, around which are arranged offices devoted to state business, the buildings and pavilions serving as the residence of the sovereign, and the buildings set aside for the court employees who lived in the palace.

queer allies and parental leavePosted: January 22, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
I have recently had a couple of very long weeks at work due to my coworkers' issues around pregnancy and new babies, as in, one quit and the other is now on bedrest. So, more work for me. As a result, I am thinking a lot about family issues in the workplace and in particular how these are constructed around not only gender but also sexual orientation.
I appreciate that there are serious issues balancing work and family life, and that women in particular often get hit hard because pregnancy is a major medical event that can have unforeseen complications and requires recovery time in addition to all the stuff about breastfeeding which I am not even going to touch. I do not think that it is okay to fire women who are expecting children or who take leave, and I think more men should take time off when they have kids.
At the same time, I think there is a real problem with the limitations on family leave. Who is a family is typically constructed in heterosexist ways, as shown in the above paragraph where I talk about two opposite-sex parents.
In watching my coworkers' family drama and seeing my workload increase in response to it, it occurred to me to wonder how different this would be for same-sex couple. It's accepted that we all support my straight coworkers and their heterotypical reproductive choices, but what if I had a serious girlfriend and we decided to have a baby? I don't even think she could get on my health insurance. Imagine how this goes for a lesbian couple who not only can't sign up for insurance, but who can't be out at work – one will have to get through all of the awkward questions about "daddy" and the pretense of being a single mother, and the other will have to pretend that nothing is going on or that she's adopting. For two men, the complications are perhaps even greater.
My pregnant coworker had confessed to me early on that she was terrified to tell our boss she was pregnant. I had nodded, understanding the fear of having an employer find out about my personal life. Even so, though, I feel that my straight coworkers do not see the parallels between the ways we approach our personal lives in the workplace, and I think it would not occur to them to advocate for me to have the same room.
If you have used parental leave, you have increased the work load on your coworkers under the assumption that we all have lives and have to help each other out. That's okay as long as it's not a one-sided situation, where those of us who are queer or child-free help straight people with babies stay at work but our own families are sidelined or unacknowledged, denied official status and then denied other benefits because we cannot have that status. If you have used parental leave or you think you will need to, you have an increased obligation to be a good ally to those who are taking on your workload to advocate for insurance coverage for same-sex couples and for parental leave regardless of marital status as part of creating an environment where it is safe for us to be ourselves.
I am probably not watching the fourth season of Breaking BadPosted: January 17, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
This fall I watched the first three seasons of Breaking Bad. I was psyched about it because it's a wonderful critique of our current healthcare system, the war on drugs, and the state of the economy. It's well written, and I think the actors do a great job with it.
Unfortunately, after finishing the third season I don't know if I can watch the fourth because of the ways race and gender are being written. I'd complain about the ways the LGBT community is being written, but as is typical for television we're not being written at all – it's another show where all the characters just happen to be straight.
Breaking Bad focuses around two white men. They are forced by various different circumstances to work together to make and sell methamphetamine. That's cool. It's key to discussing the themes I listed above. I don't have a problem with it.
However, I do have a problem with the ways the dangers of the world of drugs are portrayed versus their personal lives, and the ways that their personal lives are so strongly gendered.
The two white men, faced with economic obstacles, must leave the safe realm of whiteness and enter the dangerous world of people of color. Some of them are well drawn and sympathetic, others are psychotic assholes. There aren't a lot of people of color outside of the world of drugs other than Hank's DEA partner Gomez, who is highly competent but somehow not getting the same recognition as Hank is. There was also Jesse's friend and dealer, Combo, who just happened to be the one who was shot to death in a territory dispute.
Further, the realm of the drug dealers is all men. In three seasons, the only women in the drug scene are buyers and prostitutes. There are no women in the power hierarchy of the dealers. Not one in three seasons even with a number of throwaway characters who have no development. None. Even here, the world of work is about men and the women are simply… elsewhere.
In the outer world, the world of the public identity and the home life and white people, women deal with home and caregiving while men deal with providing economic support and protecting their fragile charges from the truth. While Walter is out trying to work and cook meth and support his family, Skyler considers whether she wants to leave him. She gets a job, but as a setup for her to have a romance with her boss. For some reason even though they're having economic difficulties at the start of the show and Walter is working two jobs, she hasn't got a job at all. Her sister Marie has a job, but we never see anything about it. Overall the construction is of men at work and women in the home, and Skyler's big dilemma is about which home she wants to be in, which man she wants to be with.
To make a footnote about Jesse Pinkman's junky girlfriend, that's really all there is to say about her – the bright, artistic white girl who had her life cut short by drugs and whose death so affected her father that he made a plane crash. Not a character valuable for herself, but for the impact of her destruction on the men around her. I think that's all there is to say about that.
As much as I've gotten out of the first three seasons on the war on drugs, American health care policy, and the pressures of the current economy, every time I think about watching the fourth I decide to watch something with fewer themes about the ways the system wrongs white men.
taking the king's coinPosted: January 14, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Once again, Catholic Charities has opted to close down operations rather than comply with state requirements to provide services to same-sex couples: Bishops Say Rules on Gay Parents Limit Freedom of Religion.
Because practicing your religion means impinging on people's rights to conduct their civil lives, apparently.
While it's true that an organization cannot be discriminated against on account of its beliefs, it is ludicrous to argue that a contract should go to an organization that will refuse to fulfill a part of the obligations of the contract. It's like saying "oh hey I want this job but I'm only going to do half of it" and expecting to get the job.
If you receive taxpayer dollars in any amount, you must conform with the legal requirements the same as everyone else does. Religion is not a free pass to ignore the law, and it's not a means to use public funds to deny services that the public has the right to access. When you take the king's coin in exchange for performing some of his responsibilities, you become his agent and subject to his rules.
The right to practice your religion is for you personally. It is not the right to restrict other people's behavior or force them to conform to the dictates of your religion's doctrine. It gives you a little bubble for yourself, not the right to get in everyone else's space. You are not being oppressed when you are not allowed to use taxpayer dollars to inflict your belief structure on other people.
job discrimination isn't dead yetPosted: January 13, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment
Over this past weekend I was engaged in a discussion with a close friend who expressed relief that job discrimination is resolved for the LGBT community at large and we can all go on about our business. I thanked him for the update and instead of worrying about my future ability to change jobs while not lying about something I am very very bad at hiding I… oh, wait.
Me and some other folks explained to him that this was still real.
Note: this is from my perspective as a white woman who is now a professional and who has typically worked in office jobs. I can only write what I know and if this is what it's like for me with relative privilege, then I know it's a lot worse out there for other people. So please, read this and understand that most of the iceberg is underwater.
On the top of your resume, under activities, it says that you were involved in your school's LGBT group. You probably did a ton of work on that, or maybe not, but certainly as much as various other people in various other groups. If you leave it on there, potential employers who are kinda bigots will not call you. You won't get an explanation, and unless they are a big employer and someone decides to undertake a significant fact-finding mission involving multiple resumes for people who are exactly alike except for in this manner, you have no recourse. So odds are almost overwhelming that you have no recourse.
If you take it off your resume, you have fewer activities and your overall resume is weaker, decreasing odds that people will call you.
Then say you get called in. Finally!
You go to the interview. What do you wear? Do you wear the clothes you will wear to work every day of your career, which are men's clothes, butch, more along the lines of the standards for professional wear? Do you dress femme but without all of the usual attitude that makes femme so awesome? Do you dress to pass, shave your legs, try to walk in shoes you wouldn't touch on a bet and don't want to get stuck wearing for longer than the interview?
Do you take the pride button off your bag, or the various other obvious signs that you are an individual with varied tastes, one of them for pussy?
Or even just the bands that are an identifier?
Do you look at your hands, and try to remember if you lied and said that you wanted to move to this area because you were engaged? Will it help you if you pretend to be married? Or will that just bring on a lot of questions about kids?
Then you look at your haircut and realize you're not fooling anyone who is paying attention at all.
You go to the interview.
They're looking for someone who fits in a little better. They want a guy's guy, who's excited to talk about sports with them, never mind your love for baseball. They want another woman to balance things out, and all the things the other (straight) women do are alien to you. They want someone who gets along with the others there on their terms, which are heterosexual terms. You can do the work and you like the people, but perhaps you are not quite who they think they're looking for.
Or perhaps they are conservative, uncomfortable with your obvious signs of queerness and simply call to let you know that the position has been filled, wishing quietly that you had left the LGBT group on your resume so no one would have had their time wasted.
Once you get hired, you have to stay hired. Maybe your work is cool. Maybe your work says they're cool but makes clear that actually they're cool with you keeping it to yourself. Maybe they're not all that cool, or maybe it's actually a hostile environment. Maybe you have to choose between work and being out. Maybe you have to stay closeted at work because of a situation outside of work that would put you in danger. Maybe you're so obvious that this isn't even possible except with your rural relatives.
Even in an accepting environment, your straight coworkers have about 5 million times more license to talk about their lives than you do about yours. This necessarily makes you seem distant and removed, and when someone from the team gets cut, you're the most likely to go on the basis of "not being a team player". You have no recourse from this unless you manage to find it in writing that it's about you being queer, and you live in a place that protects against this kind of discrimination. And if you're not out you probably can't do much even then.
With a larger company, they will use periodic layoffs and troublemakers will go then, where troublemaker means anyone they don't like.
If you are lucky, this will be as weird as it gets and you won't have problems from coworkers who feel that the appropriate thing to do is to bully you and attempt to force you into some kind of ex-gay therapy program or to take on more of their work in addition to yours.
If you have a straight-dominated environment that is relatively accepting, you will still not be able to talk about your life much, though your coworkers will not only talk about theirs but be offended if you do not engage with them on their terms – my favorite so far has been coworkers who are getting married and really wrapped up in wedding planning, asking if I have recommendations as though this is a totally neutral thing to do (my wedding plans would necessarily include changing federal law, if I were actually interested in getting married) but there is also always a lot of talk about gender roles in relationships, how men versus women behave, and a lot of other social talk which is totally not offensive but is very heterosexually modeled. Your options here are rocking the boat by saying things about how gender is not like that for you or that gender roles are not like that for you, but good luck with that. It will likely get you stared at and shut out of conversations at best. This may seem like an escape, but being seen as asocial or an outsider is not only awkward, it can also hurt your career. This is all the more true if you are in an environment where you have to stay closeted – if you are out and just don't get into it much, people will sometimes give you a little room, but if you cannot be out then you will be seen as hostile, snotty, disinterested in engaging with people. This is especially true in a situation where you otherwise have a lot in common with your coworkers and would like to hang out with them if only you didn't have to hide.
If your coworkers decide to harass you at a low level, they will likely get away with it. They're just expressing their religious views! They're just asking questions! They're just concerned! You're just too sensitive, they're just being friendly.
With a coworker who is seen as more valuable than you are, here as anywhere else there is nothing you can do, and if your boss is uncomfortable with you, complaining about it may seal the deal on ending your job. If your coworker is more valuable to your boss than you are or you are getting harassed by your boss, there is often nothing you can do besides look for another job.
If you work in a physical labor job, you may face violence, threats of violence or "accidents", not only for any perceived queerness but also for not conforming to gender norms adequately (same thing). If you are a man, this may mean a demand that you participate in harassing or demeaning women. If you are a woman, you may be in increased danger for sexual harassment, especially if someone else figures out your secret.
Further, if you have to be closeted for reasons outside of work and have an out coworker, you will probably have to avoid them like the plague for fear of guilt by association.
You just want to work at a job you are totally qualified for doing something you would be badass at, and instead you, like everyone else, are trapped in a situation where your crazy boss can fire you for anything, dress it up like anything else, and make life difficult for you due to your extreme fabulousness, which is probably not even that extreme. You want to not be threatened, put in danger, or crushed into a role that doesn't fit and isn't even relevant. You want to just do your job without having it be about some other thing entirely. We are sadly not there yet.
Complain to your senators about the NDAA!Posted: January 7, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 Comment
While I think that much of Congress is not listening and does not care about my petty gripes about civil liberties and what it means to be an American, even when I am taking the shortest view possible I like to waste lots of their time and plenty of the internet's electrons. I endorse other people doing the same:
Tell Congress To Undo The NDAA, Ban Indefinite Military Detention Of Americans.
Because I loathe drop-in text and think it means the writer isn't paying attention, here is the letter I wrote, which you may copy, steal, modify, or whatever.
Dear Senators:
I am disturbed by provisions 1031 and 1032 of the NDAA. The first puts indefinite detention on the table for American citizens on US soil, and the second states that US citizens are exempt from mandatory detention, meaning that detention is discretionary, but still optional.
I believe that one of our most shameful acts as a nation was the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. I have no desire to see anything like this ever repeated, and am therefore extremely uncomfortable with these provisions.
Further, I do not like the NDAA's codification of treatment of detained persons in Guantanamo Bay. I believe that indefinite detention is contrary to the American approach to justice, particularly the right to a fair and speedy trial and the right to habeas corpus. Our civil liberties are an asset, not a liability. To truly be the great country I believe and hope we can be, we must protect the rights of all persons under our jurisdiction. This is a cowardly circumvention of the holding in Hamdan v. Rumsfeld and it is unworthy of us as a nation.
I urge you to remedy this by supporting and cosponsoring Senator Dianne Feinstein's Due Process Guarantee Act.

A character house with a magnificent view over the fields, vines and the peaks of the Pyrenees on one side and the beautiful Gers countryside on the other.

The veranda, which is spacious and which has patio doors and blinds, provides a good space for relaxing throughout the day and evening.
The owners are charming, kind and discreet – we received a very warm welcome. We spent three weeks there and everything was perfect. We shall always have good memories of our stay. Highly recommended!
Une maison de caractère, avec un vue magnifique sur les champs, les vignes et les sommets des Pyrénées d'un côté et sur la belle campagne du Gers à l'autre. La maison est énorme, confortable et bien équipée. Tous les équipements sont de qualité et on ne manque rien pour cuisiner. Elle se trouve dans un grand jardin où l'on peut s'asseoir en plein soleil ou trouver beaucoup de l'ombre. La véranda, qui est spacieuse and qui a des portes-fenêtres et des stores, offre un bel espace pour se détendre pendant toute la journée et la soirée.
Les propriétaires sont charmants, gentils et discrets - nous avons reçu un accueil très chaleureux. Nous y avons passé trois semaines et tout était parfait. Nous garderons toujours un très bon souvenir de notre séjour. A recommander vivement!
We can't thank Paul and Pam enough for making our stay in their fabulous gîte an extremely relaxing and enjoyable experience - so much so that we are already planning to return later this summer. The accommodation has an immaculate contemporary interior, is spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a stress-free and relaxing holiday. The welcome pack including water, milk, eggs, ham, cheese, bread (I may have forgotten something there was so much), Pam's truly delicious home-made jams and chutneys and bottles of local wines was a very generous, kind and thoughtful touch that was very much appreciated. After a long drive it tasted all the more delicious – thank you! The pool area and accompanying views over the rolling landscape, neighbouring vineyards and fields of sunflowers makes the heart sing and provides a lasting memory of our time spent in a fabulous location. Our hosts were attentive, friendly and helpful but never intrusive, offering advice on the local area and cuisine. We were very sad to leave but we are definitely going to return. On the day we left Pam and Paul very generously included us on their day out, taking us to see the Tour de France as it passed through the local area. This was a truly special end to our holiday.
Thank you Paul and Pam for everything you have done to make our holiday special – see you soon.

A Fragile Immortality
One of the consequences of our near demise was the Freehold holding a hunt. For briarwolves. I'll give you a minute to let that sink in.
The gist of what happened was this:
The Good:
- The Sovereigns of each court asked for volunteers and each court provided a goodly amount.
- We vanquished a fair amount of briarwolves and their keepers (Changling hunters)
- None of the motley died or took on too much injury.
- We paid off our marker to the Yard Dogs for bringing back information about the hunt. (Man, they are paranoid)
The Bad:
- We came back with a lot of dead.
- There's a traitor in the Freehold.
The Ugly:
- There's once was a pact to hold back a Prince…On January First of the new year, he is free to hunt again.

PerkinElmer and GW's Department of Forensics Sciences Enter into Research Collaboration
In March 2014, GW's Department of Forensic Sciences and an American multinational technology corporation PerkinElmer Inc. signed a sponsored collaboration agreement to support forensic students, researchers and faculty members at GW. As part of the agreement, PerkinElmer—which produces analytical instruments, genetic testing and diagnostic tools, and medical imaging components—will provide more than $750,000 to enable the Department to recruit and hire a new faculty member from the Drug Enforcement Administration skilled in mass spectrometry analysis. PerkinElmer also generously donated a mass spectrometer instrument to GW's newly established Mass Spectrometry lab, now allowing GW to conduct research in the areas of toxicology, drug chemistries and trace evidence.
"Collaboration like this is a prime example of how corporate- funded research is mutually beneficial to both parties," says Tom Russo, Assistant Vice President for Industry and Corporate Research at GW. "GW's forensics department gains new resources to improve its curriculum and expand research opportunities, and PerkinElmer will be able to explore the capabilities of its equipment and benefit from new forensic developments."
Led by Victor Weedn, MD, JD, an accomplished forensic pathologist and a pioneer of forensic DNA testing, GW's Department of Forensic Sciences in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, is recognized as one of the oldest and most respected programs in the country. Dr. Weedn said he desired to collaborate with a company that was producing some of the most innovative mass spectrometry tools on the market, in order to create a world-class forensic chemistry lab, develop more research and eventually recruit Ph.D. candidates. "There has been a revolution in mass spectrometry in the past few years, and I believe it is the future of forensic science investigation," Dr. Weedn said. "PerkinElmer has created instruments that are very intriguing."
The department acquired three of the newest and most robust mass spectrometry instruments PerkinElmer offers. As part of the agreement, the forensic science faculty will act as independent, credible partners to test the instruments and show how they are useful to the forensics community.
"PerkinElmer has developed a portfolio of mass spectrometry solutions that are designed to be faster, smarter, modular and easy to operate," said Jon DiVincenzo, PerkinElmer's president of Environmental Health. "We are thrilled to be GW's collaborator of choice and believe that our combination of innovative technology and know-how in forensics can help Dr. Weedn and his team realize their goals for the forensic sciences program at GW."
Although there is more progress to be made, thanks in part to the new collaboration agreement, GW is on their way to developing cutting-edge forensics scholarship.

(Your five favourite female characters.)
❶ Rem Saverem ⇒ Trigun Maximum
❷ Hikaru Shidou ⇒ Magic Knight Rayearth
❸ Natsuki Krugar ⇒ Mai-HiME
❹ Tenou Haruka ⇒ Sailor Moon
❺ Sizer ⇒ Violinist of Hameln
(↑Who do you like the most?)
Oh my god, I think Mandy gave me this meme to horrify me. I generally don't like female characters in anime/manga ever because they're usually just really flat. BUT SINCE I HAVE TO PICK ONE, it'd really have to be Haruka. She's strong, both mentally and physically, and she knows her duties and sees them through no matter what. She doesn't give a shit what you think because she knows where her loyalty lies and that the end justifies the means sometimes. I really adore strength like that and not many female characters are written like that anymore. Like... yes, they'll have that aspect, but they always try to include some deep, hidden angst or some bullshit. They just don't make girls like Haruka anymore these days. ):
(Your five favourite male characters.)
❶ Duo Maxwell ⇒ Gundam Wing
❷ Hamel ⇒ Violinist of Hameln
❸ Graham ⇒ Shamanic Princess
❹ Nicholas D. Wolfwood ⇒ Trigun Maximum
❺ Rain Jewlett ⇒ Immortal Rain
(↑Who do you like the most?)
aflasdjf INFINITELY HARDER THAN CHOOSING FEMALES IS NARROWING DOWN MY TOP FIVE MALES. I love male characters so much. ;_; I seriously thought of ten right off the bat and had to narrow it down fjdsf SO HARD.
As for my absolute favorite, I... honestly can't pick one. ;_; I love them all too much and just jfklasjfffff Like. Wolfwood is such a sympathetic character and written beautifully in the manga, and his intentions and GAH. And Duo and Hamel are both such well developed characters and their motives are never changed throughout the series. AND I RELATE TO GRAHAM A LOT ON A PERSONAL LEVEL which is kind of terrifying if you consider the character himself, but. I really adore him and his devotion and him toughing up and moving on past the whole "omg you pulled me from my own world, gave me a completely different form and a disfigured one at that" and did everything he could to try and protect Tiara physically and emotionally and fjasdkljf And Rain ohmygod. I just have a thing for priest characters that aren't really priests and he's just so sweet and dorky and pure with his intentions and he's just so wonderful but surprisingly pedo when it comes to Machika and jfkladjf
(Your three favorite games.)
❶ Devil May Cry (#3 in particular)
❷ Silent Hill series
FFIX is probably my absolute favorite out of this trio -- it's so different from the newer Final Fantasies, in plot and general design and character archetypes. I love the fact that Zidane is not a broody hero. But I can honestly say DMC fixation is entirely Kara's fault from when I lived with her, and Silent Hill 2 was actually my first PS2 game ever, so it holds a special place to me. I don't know if I'll ever pick up the franchise again because... really, Silent Hill kind of ended at 4 for me, but I've heard a few good things about the new one, so I'll look into it when I can.
(Your favorite anime seiyuu?)
➝ female; Megumi Hayashibara ⇒ I'm so thrilled they got her back to do Lina Inverse again for the new Slayers series fjasdklfj ;___; I don't pay much attention to female seiyuus though since that whole... hate on girl characters... yeah...
➝ male; TOSHIHIKO SEIKI ⇒ I've had such a fangirl on him since Duo Maxwell and the half-hour Violinist of Hameln special (he was Raiel jfalsjdEEEE) since forever ago. He really has a good vocal range to me and I love listening to him. ;_;
(Your favorite anison [anime song]?)
➝ Toshihiko Seiki 「Kitto OK!」 ⇒ (Mobile Suit Gundam Wing ⇒ Duo Maxwell character song)
➝ Aki Misato 「君が空だった」 ⇒ (Mai-HiME ⇒ ED)
➝ Ami Koshimizu 「星が奏でるものがたり」 ⇒ (My Otome ⇒ insert song)
➝ Yasushi Ishii 「A Left Foot Trapped in a Sensual Seduction」 ⇒ (Hellsing TV)
➝ Steve Conte 「Call Me, Call Me」 ⇒ (Cowboy Bebop ⇒ insert song)
➝ Yasushi Ishii 「Badrick」 ⇒ (Hellsing Ultimate)
➝ Scudelia Electro 「Shout It Loud」 ⇒ (Jing: King of Bandits OP)
(Do you cosplay? Or, what kind of cosplay would you like to do?)
WHY YES I DO, QUESTIONAIRE. As for the kinds of characters uuuhhh. More often than not, I end up cosplaying characters that I RP heavily for the sake of recognizability. Otherwise, I usually cosplay characters that are comfortable and easy to put together. Not necessarily closet cosplay, but just... not a lot of maintainance required, no extraordinary shit added onto it. Like, my next two big cosplays are going to be Liz Thompson (Soul Eater) and Ichiro (Nerima Daikon Bros). Not much sewing involved, really, but still some work and they're semi-recognizable.
(Does the one actually wanting it : in the animated cartoon, the cartoon, and the game?)
I-i would actually kill for a redo of the Violinist of Hameln anime. Now that the original manga has officially finished being scanlated and a new series has started, popularity is obviously picking up. And BONES has been repicking series to redo, and I heard there's some rumor somewhere about them considering VoH redo so fjalsdjf. I'd also really love for them to redo the Magic Knight Rayearth anime, but I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. 8(
(What makes you feel "MOE" the most?)
O-oh man. Clumsy boy characters that try to act tough. Like, Ryoga Hibiki? HNNNNNGGGHHHHH And andand just. Any character like that -- incredibly strong and devoted, but have moments of utter retardation. Duo, Death the Kid, Ryoga, anyone like that. I lose it, man. ):
(Five people who you pass this baton to.)
❶ thundersocks
❷ precto
❸ darknightrain
❹ nikkernoodle
❺ patchouli
I have nothing interesting to say right now. 8| CARRY ON.

(I should really make this a series)
Gas station food (or bodegas) is really good. If you would have asked me 2 years ago if I would want to eat something from there, it would only be if I was really drunk and nothing else was open or on a roadtrip. Ordering a bacon and egg on a roll in a gas station? Scary. But here, I don't think twice and they are delish.
I just discovered the brand Entenmann's, which previously I wouldn't have touched, now I love.
Their honey bun just made an excellent dinner.

2-way component system with a passive crossover
The new reference speakers in the competition series raise the bar to a new height for fantastic sound quality. The legendary sisal woofer cones were equipped with an additional structural damping layer made of elastomer, which improves the acoustic properties yet again. The tweeter enclosure also underwent a complete overhaul. Anyone who wants to operate these loudspeakers as fully active speakers (e.g. using our new digital signal processors) can put together the system of their choice by combining the individual components.
Like the loudspeaker systems, the frequency crossovers of the components systems have also been optimized even further. Made up of the finest components, they offer, in addition to the adjustment of the tweeter level, the option of connecting a second woofer for each channel without any change in the crossover frequencies. The so-called "double woofer mode" provides for additional pressure in the kick-bass range.
- Mid-woofer with sturdy aluminum diecast basket
- Large coupling volumes for tweeter and midrange allow exceptionally low crossover frequency
- Mid-woofer cone with scooped, long-fibered sisal with additional elastomer structural damping
- Virtually compression-free conversion of the amplifier power into sound pressure
- Lowest manufacturing tolerances and exclusive use of selected materials
- Frequency crossover with tweeter level adjustment and double woofer mode
- Manufactured in Germany
- Grille included
Why Sisal?
In the precision and competition lines, Audiotec Fischer uses only diaphragms made of sisal fiber manufactured in an elaborate production process. The mechanical advantages of sisal, such as high stability and inner damping, are combined in an ideal way with lowest weight. No wonder that whe woofers equipped with sisal diaphragms display uniquely dynamic characteristics regarding fidelity, lowest distortion and high sensitivity, at the time with a linear frequency response.

Custom events allow you to track more advanced activity with the JavaScript Events API or Events HTTP API. You'll need to work with a developer to implement the custom event you create into your JavaScript file or server-side script.
- In your HubSpot account, navigate to Reports > Analytics Tools. Then, select Events.
- In the upper right, click Create event.
- In the right pane, enter an Event name, and select Tags (optional) to easily find and keep track of your event. Select Custom event as the Event type.
- Click Next.
Custom events can be set up in two ways:
- Using the Javascript Events API in your code
- Via the Events HTTP API
JavaScript events
If you're using custom JavaScript to trigger your event, enter the code into the Custom JavaScript field. Any code you enter in this field will automatically be included as part of your HubSpot tracking code. Learn more about using the JavaScript Events API.
After adding your JavaScript, click Save at the bottom right to create your event. You'll be returned to the events dashboard. Hover over the event and click More > Edit, then click Next at the bottom right. Here, you'll see the ID that has been generated for the event. Copy and paste the code snippet in the JavaScript callback where you want that event to trigger.
By default, value will be set to null. This is an optional argument that can be used to track the revenue of an event. This value will be used to increment the
hs_analytics_revenue property if the event is associated with a contact record.
Each time the event runs, the value associated with the triggered event will be added to the Revenue field on the contact's record. When setting up the conversion value, you can either enter a specific value or, to dynamically set the value, enter a JavaScript variable or a full jQuery selector. If you're adding a value, ensure you add it to the value parameter before adding the code snippet to your JavaScript file.
HTTP API Events
If you're using the Events HTTP API, you don't need to enter any JavaScript in the Custom Javascript field.
First, click Save at the bottom right to create your event. You'll be returned to the events dashboard. Hover over the event and click More > Edit, then click Next at the bottom right. Here, you'll see the ID that has been generated for the event. You can now use this ID to trigger your custom HubSpot event using an HTTP GET call.
When creating a HTTP API event, a URL will be automatically generated containing the following required parameters:
- _n - the Event_ID of the event you're recording
- _a - your HubSpot ID
In order to successfully connect a triggered HTTP API Event to a contact record in HubSpot, you need to pass the contact's email address, &email, in the request URL. If a contact record does not yet exist for this email address, a new record will be created. Otherwise, the event will be attributed to the existing contact.
Learn more about using the Events HTTP API and adding additional optional parameters.
Other uses for custom events
Tracking Logins to External Site
If you have a login-only section of your external website, you may wish to find out which users are actively logging in. You can use custom events to send this information to HubSpot. Upon login, the event can be triggered and sent to HubSpot. Once saved to the contact's record, you'll be able to segment and create lists based on recent logins filtered by specific time frames, the total number of times the event has been completed, and so on.
Browser and Mobile Usage
You can use custom events to determine which browsers your visitors are most likely to be using and how often they are visiting from a mobile device.
Abandoned Shopping Cart
B2C companies regularly run into the issue of their visitors walking away from their online shopping carts. Whether it's due to a lack of interest or just a brief distraction, sending a gentle reminder can make a difference. If you set up a custom event to trigger once the visitor has calculated shipping, you can then segment contacts using HubSpot lists to see all contacts who have the triggered the event but have not actually purchased.
Custom event limits
Once the limit is reached, newly-created events will be added to the Needs approval queue. Approve or dismiss an event by clicking the Needs approval tab, then selecting Approve or Dismiss next to the custom event name. To approve or dismiss in bulk, select the checkboxes left of the events to approve or dismiss and in the header, click Approve or Dismiss.
Events can only be approved if the 2,000 event limit has not been exceeded, and completions will not be counted for events while they are in the approval queue. To recover previously deleted custom events, click the Dismissed events tab. Click Recover next to the event name to restore the event. To recover events in bulk, select the checkboxes left of the events to recover and in the header, click Recover.

The new president of the South of England Agricultural Society has spoken of the need for sustainability in farming.
Clare Scheckter, who runs a farm and educational centre with husband Jody, a former Formula One champion, will be the figurehead of the society which runs the South of England Show at Ardingly in June.
"The future shape and sustainability of Britain's countryside and rural economy will rely heavily on the imagination, innovation and enterprise of the next generation," she said.
"With more people to feed, less space to grow food and more competition for resources – new thinking, new technology and new ways of working will be crucial to our ability to feed the nation in the future. Our chief aims are to celebrate achievement and inspire innovation."
Michael Lambert, chairman of the society said Clare's experience and remit make her the 'perfect champion' for our theme for the year – The Next Generation.
The society will be promoting activities to attract young people into countryside careers by raising awareness of the wide range of opportunities available.

I had this idea to paint the ugly ceiling tiles in the library (now more of an office) a dark brown color. They were discolored and gross and putting up a new ceiling seemed insanely time consuming. After trying out a few different options that all including a *faux tin* idea of sorts, we settled on the straight metallic color – aged copper.
I was a bit tentative as I was painting, but there was no turning back. It took two coats of enduring the awful smell of the paint to get all the nooks and crannies of the textured tiles covered, but in the end was worth it.
It's a bit funky, but that's just fine. And it's a far cry from this. We still need to put crown molding back up and finish the windows, but it's an almost complete room.

By Nancy Klos It s a new school year in Nicaragua and we arrived in Jinotega just at the start of the second week of classes. The students had only been at the Albergue for a couple weeks following their 2 months school break and it was clear they were all happy to be back with their friends and even still had that "glad to be back to school" mood, so often seen by U.S. teachers in the fall. Along with the familiar faces (who all look remarkably older in just a few months), the new faces were a delight to see (more about them later). The staff looked refreshed and ready for a new year and we had a great week of working together on curriculum and operations. I often think how "Pollyannaish" I sound when describing our time at the Albergue, but the reality is the kids are truly as delightful as they sound and the staff are a pleasure to be with. Which is my way of saying you have to see it to believe it, so I encourage you to join us in the future.
I visited both public schools that our students attend, Max Senqui, the elementary school and Jose Delores, the high school. At Max Senqui our students have wonderfully proficient signing teachers and I am thrilled to report our students at Jose Delores have a terrific interpreter working with them. Having skilled signing staff in place is the best "sign" (pun intended) that our students will gain much this academic year.
Our student count is up to 27, with 22 students in the elementary and 5 students in high school. In February we welcomed 2 new girls, Noelia and Xiomara, and in March, Katy arrived. In April we may be receiving a new Young boy.
Planning was addressed for our oldest students, as we continue to prepare them for when they leave us. All of our students living at the Casa residence have work study programs designed to fit what they have indicated they are most interested in doing in their adult lives. Although we continue to stress the need to maintain their academic studies, each of these students will also be spending time weekly in job placement or training. We have our first 2 students "aging out" at the end of this year and we have already helped them with their path beyond the Albergue walls.
And speaking of walls, take a look at these, all created by Sara Werneke, Kate Mendenhall, Shawn Meyers, and Juan Korea on our February trip. We have finally turned this former classroom into a student lounge, Providing the students more space for leisure activities. The walls present some of the cultural legends of Jinotega, using the hills surrounding Jinotega as their stage. The transformation of the room in just a week was amazing to watch.
and After…
As funds allow, we will be adding storage cabinetary for art and game materials. I can't wait to see what it looks like with all the futons moved in and finally getting the TV into a more appropriate location.
In addition to the artists, we had volunteers helping with other operational needs.
Evelyn Delaney, our literacy expert, did training with the teachers and had volunteers help her with organizing the reading program and classroom materials. Evelyn, Emily, and Martha are pictured here. Julia, who accompanied her dad on the trip, an ENT physician working at the clinic, took a break from helping at the Albergue and enjoyed a frosty treat at the Flor de Mayo (aka "our bakery"). Penny And Mary inventoried all the donated Items we transported and stored them for the staff to use.
We had a professional photographer join us on this trip, Adam Forgash, whom you can look up on his website. We have not yet seen the fruits of his labor since he is in the process of moving from New York City to Tulsa (yes, we gave him a taste of Oklahoma hospitality). But I am anticipating there will be stunning photos to see. He was awesome and an incredibly good sport to be working under some challenging photo shoot conditions.
Its been a project coming along for a while, but based on what we saw in February the opening of The Oklahoma, the newest (and only) Oklahoma barbecue restaurant/boutique hotel will be opening soon (perhaps as this is printed!) We saw the finishing touches going in the construction and all that was left were the furnishings and moving of the grand smoker to its rightful place. It will be totally accommodating for both deaf patrons and deaf employees.
This photo taken by a volunteer, looking down on the town of Jinotega is too small to give justice to the beauty of the weather, the town, or the people. But I hope it is just enough of a taste to lure you to come join us on our next trip. ADIOS!
