All Creatures Great and Small Celebrated at the Genesis Awards It wasn’t difficult to bond with the celebrity crowd that gathered to celebrate all creatures great and small at the 24th Annual Genesis Awards. After all, who doesn’t love animals? So that’s what we all talked about: cats and dogs, plus turtles, birds, fish and other pets that enrich our lives and bring us closer to nature. But among the many, there were a few special people who have taken their love and compassion to a higher level, and made an impact that has helped the plight of animals, some on a global scale. It was humbling to hear their stories as the awards were given out in the grand ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The annual Genesis Awards event is produced by the Hollywood office of the Humane Society of the United States. It honors the entertainment industry and news media for raising awareness of animal issues, and those who have worked tirelessly for animal rights. Wayne Pacelle is the president of the HSUS. Tippi Hedren received the Lifetime Achievement Award. The iconic star of Hitchcock’s “The Birds” talked about becoming an animal advocate after making the 1981 film “Roar” with a cast of big cats. Tippi explained that her heart was touched by the lions and tigers, “and after we finished filming, we didn’t know where the cats would go. So I founded the Shambala Preserved on the land we used as our movie set in Acton, California.” Today the 80-acre wildlife refuge is a sanctuary to more than 60 big cats. Tippi said her wish for all animals is to see them “run if they have legs, swim if they have fins, and fly if they have wings.” No one was more proud than her daughter Melanie Griffith, who cried when she presented her mother with the award. Tippi cried too when she recalled working together with the late Gretchen Wyler, founder of the Genesis Awards, on the first event 24 years ago. There were more teary-eyed moments at the awards thanks to the unbelievable dog stories from a soldier and a firefighter. Major Brian Dennis shared the stage with his dog Nubs, a stray he rescued from Iraq. After the unit changed positions, Nubs traveled 70 miles through the desert to find the new outpost. So Major Dennis made sure Nubs would make it home with him. And Los Angeles firefighter Joe St. Georges was honored for rescuing a dog named Lucky from the L.A. River during the heavy rains. The feel-good Oscar-winning Pixar animated movie “Up” won a Genesis award for showing the special bond between humans and animals. Co-director and co-writer Bob Peterson accepted in the voice of Dug the dog saying, “To the Humane Society, I have just met you, and I love you.” “Up” shared the honor with another family-friendly film “Hotel for Dogs,” which used many rescue dogs as part of their canine cast. Young actor Jordan Nagai (the voice of Cub Scout Russell in “Up”) happily told me he has a pet turtle, “which has a good personality and is easy to care for, especially when I have to go to school or auditions.” Jordan and Teri Hatcher presented the TV Film award to the CBS movie “A Dog Named Christmas.” Among the other celebrity presenters were Pierce Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye (who has two Genesis trophies for her work with animals), Jeff Corwin, Wendie Malick, Kristen Bell, Moby, “Glee”’s Jessalyn Gilsig, Hawthorn’s Michael Vartan, “NCIS”’s Pauley Perrette, “Two and a Half Men”’s Jennifer Taylor, “Big Love”’s Gennifer Goodwin and “Twilight”’s Booboo Stewart. Jon Lovitz opened the show with his usual sharp humor. “Bones” star Emily Deschanel presented and accepted an award for an episode of the Fox series titled “The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken,” which she called a great way to educate people. But Emily humbly added, “I want to dedicate this award to everyone who is dedicating their lives to helping and saving animals, and may not get acknowledged or win an award like this, but are doing way more than we did. We’re very proud of our show, but it’s nothing compared to the people who have dedicated their entire lives to this cause.” The Genesis Award for Documentary Film went to director Louie Psihoyos for “The Cove,” which also won an Academy Award for the news-making documentary about the slaughter of dolphins. In the category of Reality Series, Animal Planet’s “Whale Wars” was recognized, also “Family Guy”, “The Today Show”, and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” received awards for putting the spotlight on animal issues. Not surprising, the menu for the event was strictly vegan, which pleased all of the animal advocates. The star-studded Genesis Awards ceremony will air April 24 and 25 on Animal Planet. Tune in.
I was bored one day and read about spontaneous combustion and how some claim its related to static electricity. The reason for the claim was that supposed victims complained they experienced a lot of electrical discharge (their whole life). I'll try and find it again...___edit 1 »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_electricityPossible explanation #1: Maybe your skin is more dry than most people's. So resistence would increase making it harder for you to discharge. You're like a big squishy capacitor.___edit 2Yea, I think that is the answer. Static electricity is the build up of excess charge so I think you retain more charge because your skin has a higher resistence. The difference could be what type of shoes you are wearing. funny thing is my brother is not but my nephew is like me. wearing same clothes and everything. it feels as if i more prone to it than he is..--»www.thereligionofpeace.com/ Lay down on the ground (corpse style); and by ground I mean direct contact with the earth, it could be grass, dirt or even a granite slab.Standing is also good and sitting meditation as well. You really need to increase your intake of Di-Hydrogen Monoxide. I heard that stuff can kill you. It's a major componenet of acid rain, isnt it? Also caused that mess in the Carolinas and Ohio this past week. In all seriousness, I do think some people can be more susceptible to static electricity. I heard a story of some kid in school who I think got banned from his schools computer room, because he kept messing them up. In his classes he has to sit several rows back, so he doesnt mess up the projectors and computers, etc.. I think an intake of hydrogen and oxygen would solve the problem, you could substitute either if you want to be laughing, unfortunately I cannot recommend this approach. magnetic personality ? So I'm pretty sure I might have answered your question... The static discharge you describe doesn't just happen... charge has to build up first. There are only two relevant ways for normal charge buildup - one is ionization, which is very unlikely unless you're around some seriously high voltages to start with.The other is a result of triboelectric effects. These arise when two insulative materials of certain types are rubbed together or suddenly pulled apart. Either of these can cause electrons to be ripped away from their parent atoms and be trapped together on one surface whilst an opposite charge is created on the other surface. The key point is that it takes rubbing or sudden separation (like pulling off tape from a roll) to generate the charge. And it is the discharge of the accumulated charges that creates the zap-and-snap you notice when you touch a doorknob.There are two tricks to avoiding the zap: reduce the generated charges in the first place, or touch a dissipative (but not conductive) surface before touching a door handle or other bare metal object. That is, either prevent charge accumulating so no discharge will occur, or reduce the rate of discharge so that an unpleasant current flow does not happen.To reduce charge generation, avoid or reduce use of clothing containing plastics (many synthetics) or wools - particularly those that swish or slide against other clothing articles or themselves when you walk. Avoid walking with a lot of scuffing, particularly when walking over carpet or vinyl floor tile. Keep the humidity higher (65% or more), especially in winter.To reduce discharge rates, dissipate the charge by first touching a substantial painted metal surface (like a metal doorframe, a large painted appliance, or a painted steel door) before grasping a conductive bare-metal surface like a door handle or even another person.As to why you seem more troubled by static discharges than someone else in the same setting, it likely has to do with several factors unique to you:1) How you normally walk, stride, and scuffle - and how often you lift your trailing foot clear of a floor as opposed to sliding it slightly2) Differences in shoe-sole materials and how much slippage your stride and the tread pattern permit3) Your unique skin moisture and conductivity, as well as the type of shower soap and/or lotions you may apply, including to your hair if it's long4) Composition of clothing you typically wear (inner and outer) and how much swishing and rubbing occurs between clothing items (and even your skin) during your unique walking patterns5) Differences in furniture-fabric/flooring where people normally sit or work and along their path to the doorknob or whatever other metal object receives the zap.These affect both static generation and rate of discharge from the stored charge sites on one's clothing/shoes, across the skin to whatever you touch. No two people will be exactly alike. Just walking across a carpeted floor, most folks in the winter will generate 1.5-35.0 KV of static electricity... with the highest voltages seen in extremely dry environments for those wearing the "wrong" kinds of clothing/shoes. That's a 23:[[phy_address]] people and conditions.--If God wanted us to work with electrons, He'd make them big enough to see... Do you use dryer sheets when you dry your clothes?Low humidty causes more static. Use a humidifier in your home to increase humidity I have a theory that goes along with the last post somewhat. You mentioned you drink 1/2 to 3/4 gallons of tea a day. Caffeine can dehydrate you so, increase your own 'humidity' by drinking more water and/or ease up or quit the caffeine intake. I know, it's easier said than done, but it's worth a try.--If we quit voting, will they all just go away? 1) Seems possible. I'll see what happens if I make a conscious effort to pick my feet up more.2) As noted before, this is across all kinds of shoes.3) Could be.4) Maybe.5) I interact with the same furniture as everyone else in the office. I find that surprising in FL where even (locals in jackets freezing our butts off) tourist people say how hot and humid it is. But generally static electric depends on dry and charged environment.... even N FL in winter that surprised me.--»haywardm.com (Hayward's Key West) Yeah, it's plenty humid up here.When I was in NV I was getting shocked real bad. My dad has one of the modified buses. I think he had something grounded off wrong, but nobody was getting jolts like I was getting. I think you missed the point static should NOT happen in humid environment (unless you shuffle feet on plastic carpet) It is a MAJOR problem in DRY environments. (Winter north or SW all year)--»haywardm.com (Hayward's Key West) Just wondering> Have you had a EMG test? And can you wear a wrist watch? I have not had an EMG test, and had not previously heard of one. I just Googled it.I can't wear any jewelry. It annoys the crap out of me. I have a pair of very expensive glasses that are very light-weight. Usually I wear contacts, but sometimes the glasses are easier, like if I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep. Its the shoes. I have a bunch of shoes I wear. I find my Kenneth Cole shoes shock while my others will not.I also find socks make a difference too. I get a greater shock with some black socks.
This week, both the Fed and the European Central Bank meet and seem likely to adopt additional "creative" ways to stimulate the global economy in an effort to avoid a EU financial crisis and a potential global recession. While monetary authorities have proven they can stimulate global equity markets, it is not clear that they can do the same for the global economy. This is particularly the case in the U.S. as the impact of the presidential elections on the real economy seems similar to the fallout of last year's federal debt ceiling controversy. In this regard, if you are experiencing feelings of economic déjà vu right now, you are not alone. The percentage of Americans saying they expect economic conditions to get worse has increased throughout July, going from 55% over the three days ending July 5 to 63% over the three days ending July 29 -- a sharp deterioration over less than one month. A year ago, economic expectations showed a similar deterioration during July -- though more Americans at that time said the economy was getting worse. Last year's stall illustrated how political confrontation can bring the real-world economy close to recession. This year's worsening in economic expectations may show how presidential elections can do even more harm to the real economy -- particularly if the jobs situation does not show signs of significant improvement when the government's unemployment numbers are released on Friday.

10 Slow Cooker Recipes to Freeze Winter Weather in Its Tracks More cold air is blasting its way through the country — a firm, frigid reminder that spring isn’t here yet. It’s good that slow cooker or crock-pot recipes are ideal for thawing chilled bones and require minimal time in kitchen. That makes it a perfect way to cook dinner while hunkering down under a blanket or near the fire. Here are 10 slow cooker recipes that will put an end to any winter freeze. 1. Posole Posole, or pozole, is a traditional Mexican dish. Known for its rich flavors, the authentic version calls for a pig’s head. Since many people may be put off by such an ingredient, other versions — like the one below — of this hominy stew have been created. Ingredients: 1 tablespoon canola oil 2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces$ 4 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth 1 2/3 cups chopped onion (about 1 medium) $ 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper 4 large garlic cloves, minced 2 (15.5-ounce) cans white hominy, rinsed and drained 2 (4.5-ounce) cans chopped green chiles, undrained 1 cup packaged angel hair slaw 1/2 cup thinly sliced radishes (4 radishes) 1/2 cup diced peeled avocado 2 limes, each cut into 4 wedges (optional) Directions: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add pork to pan. Cook 8 minutes, browning on all sides. Combine pork, broth, and 9 ingredients (through chiles) in a 5-quart electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Ladle posole into bowls; top with slaw, radishes, and avocado. Serve with lime wedges if desired.
One of the beautiful residences in the Century Homes database Photograph courtesy James McMenamin, Have you ever wandered past an old house and wondered when it was built, who used to live there, and what stories it contains? I know I do this all the time and, because I work in the Community Heritage and Family History collection at the Calgary Public Library, I have resources at my fingertips that allow me to do a little house genealogy in my spare time. But today, we have launched a new database that will make information about the Century Homes in our city available online to anyone who cares to look. If you read this blog regularly you will have read about the Century Homes Project. Most recently I posted that Century Homes had won a Governor General’s History Award for Community Programming. It was, and still is, a great initiative that got people involved in documenting their own century homes and sharing that information on signs posted in their yards. As part of the legacy of Century Homes (and because we don’t like to lose any information at all about the history of our beautiful city) Calgary Public Library is hosting the database that was created using the photographs and documentation that were created. It was launched this morning at City Hall and boy, are we chuffed. (You can see the Mayor's presentation to the proud Century Homes folks here) We’ve been working away at transcribing and uploading and doing all the things that are involved in getting a major project like this off the ground and we are delighted with the results. As of today we have all the photographs loaded and have about [[phy_address]] signs transcribed. We will continue with the transcription until we have every bit of information in the database and accessible to everyone. We invite you to have a look at this newest addition to our Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library. If you are interested in having your century home included in the 2013 tour (and in our database), check out the Century Homes website. With the holiday season now upon us (where on earth did November go, anyway?) we are turning our focus toward the family and spending time with those closest to us (for good or ill.) The holiday season is a great time to spend time with our elders, talking about the past and finding out about our family’s history. I can’t tell you the number of times I have heard “I wish I’d talked to my [aunty, grandma, great-uncle] about her/his family, but I didn’t” or “I wish I’d paid attention when granny talked about her childhood”. Don’t be one of those genealogists! Now is the time! Get out your smart phone, set it on record and have that chat with granny or Auntie Jean or Great Uncle Herb. Their stories are the important ones, the ones that can’t be found in census records, birth certificates or city directories. This is what makes your family unique and these are the stories that many genealogists are striving to recreate. If you need some questions to spur your family member’s memory, there are some great books out there to help you. One in particular isTo our children’s children: preserving family histories for generations to come by Bob Greene. This book has some very good suggestions for questions that spark memories, like, “Did you ever skip school? Did you get caught? Were you punished? How?” Questions like this encourage reminiscing around specific incidents and can get you much more than “Tell me about your school days.” Once you have done some genealogy and have gotten what stories you can, you may want to write a family history or a memoir. We are having a Writers’ Weekend on February 2nd I’m very excited that one of our programs will be Writing Memoir and Biography with Brian Brennan. Brian is a brilliant storyteller and his skills at bringing a person alive on the page are unparalleled. If you're going to learn you might as well learn from a master. You can register for this free program here or by calling 403-260-2620. My Family, ca 1890 Civil Defense Headquarters bunker Calgary Herald, March 29, 1955 I had the privilege of hearing some of this city’s great historians at the Heritage Weekend. Max Foran, Hugh Dempsey, Nancy Townsend and Harry Sanders all spoke about great Calgary characters and events. The highlight of the afternoon had to be Brian Brennan talking about Paddy Nolan and finishing up with “When Irish Eyes are Smiling”, a song that Paddy may have enjoyed himself. All the presentations were excellent, capping off a really great weekend of heritage programs. Dr. Foran spoke on an event which is somewhat amusing, but also speaks to the fears faced by many during the Cold War years. I had originally done some research on this story when I was looking for information about the fate of the air-raid sirens that were scattered throughout the city. There had been one in the yard of my kindergarten (which was held in the community hall) and I always wondered what they were for. Digging into the clippings files in the local history room, I found a wealth of information about civil defense and, particularly, about Operation Lifesaver, the topic of Dr. Foran’s talk. The idea behind Operation Lifesaver was to practice an evacuation of a portion of Calgary, to simulate what might happen in the event of an enemy attack. So, the Civil Defense Authority planned the evacuation of a quadrant of the city, requiring the population to pack up and move to designated safe spots outside of Calgary. This was planned for September 21, 1955 and the quadrant chosen was the northeast. The population of that area was about 40,000 people at that time. Most were expected to participate. The populace was asked to fill out cards (such as the one below) to indicate whether they had a car, how many people the car could hold, whether they were physically capable of participating, ages of any children etc. Calgary Herald, May 5, 1955 The headquarters of the Civil Defense Authority were in a specially built bunker in the Municipal Golf Course (now Shaganappi Point). The photo above isof the interior of the bunker taken from the Calgary Herald of May 29, 1955. In the end, Operation Lifesaver was postponed due to bad weather (it snowed quite heavily on September 21). When it took place, a week later, smoke bombs were detonated and the air-raid sirens wailed. Only 10,000 (as reported in the papers, but some estimates put it at only 3000) of the 40,000 population participated, but it was still hailed as a great success. It was the first of its kind, where citizens were directed out of the city, and cities across North America took note. This would not be the last civil defense drill Calgarians would be subjected to. By the 1960s the focus had changed from preparing for an enemy invasion to surviving a nuclear detonation. To that end, the government released the pamphlet “Your basement fallout shelter”. This booklet, pictured here, includes a message from our PM, John Diefenbaker and complete plans for the building of a fallout shelter and instructions on how to live in it after the nuclear disaster. It is made clear in the instructions that this is not a bomb shelter, so it wasn’t advisable to hide in the shelter to escape explosions; it was designed to protect the homeowner from nuclear fallout, assuming they survived the initial blast. So in the next exercise, in November of 1961, the sirens sounded to alert the population to a mock nuclear attack. Most of downtown was unaffected. The people, having not heard the sirens, continued on about their business. Some sirens didn’t sound at all. An investigation blamed dirt for the malfunction. If you would like to find out more about Canada’s civil defense policy, Andrew Burtch has just published Give Me Shelter which examines the effectiveness (or lack thereof) Canada’s policies during the Cold War. (This title is on our NextReads History and Current Events newsletter. You can sign up for it here.) CBC was on hand to film the exercise. The video is available through their archives. You can see the clippings and the booklet on building a fallout shelter in the Community Heritage and Family History Room on the fourth floor of the Central Library. On Friday we will be launching our third annual One Book One Calgary. This year’s book is The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha. There is going to be a lot of exciting programming associated with this celebration, starting with the launch itself – Calgary’s Poet Laureate, Kris Demeanor will be on hand as will a number of other prominent Calgarians who will tell us what they find awesome about this great city. Click here to find out more. Another of the programs, and one that I am particularly looking forward to, will be with Calgary’s Historian Laureate, Harry Sanders (who is pretty awesome). He will be regaling us with awesome things from Calgary’s past. You can find out more and register for this program here. It will be at the Memorial Park Library (which is also awesome) As my contribution to the “awesome” parade, I thought I would list the heritage buildings that I find awesome (and I’ll stop using that word now) This is only a very small part of my list, this is a blog, after all, and I’m sure I’d lose you all about number 40, so here is my much abbreviated list of some a-word heritage structures in Calgary. The Cecil Hotel – it may seem weird that this hotel, which has recently been in the papers as a prime candidate for demolition due to its unsavory past, would make my list, but there is something about this building that I love and I would hate to see gone. It is one of the few remaining hotels of its period and although many call it an eyesore, it does have its own charm. For me, the Cecil represents the working class roots of Calgary, especially the East End of Calgary. The Calgary Public Building – built in 1931, this edifice includes the only manned elevator in the city. It is a wonderfully elegant concrete structure which retains much of its original exterior detail . In its adaptation to modern use, it stands as an example of how heritage buildings can be made useful and efficient. The Craftsman houses along 17th Avenue SW. I love the Craftsman style of house. There is a block just east of the Richmond Road turnoff that has several original Craftsman style homes still standing. I know this isn’t exactly a heritage site, but I smile whenever I drive past them. The Burns Building – this was the building that got me interested in my city’s heritage. I was oblivious to all of the beautiful old buildings in the city until the Burns Building attacked Mayor Sykes and nearly sealed its own fate. That we were able to save it was a triumph and a symbol of what can be done when citizens raise their voices. The CNR Building/St. Mary’s Parish Hall, beside St. Mary’s School. This building was derelict when I was attending St. Mary’s. We occasionally (don’t tell anyone) would sneak in and have a look around. It was a beautiful building, even in its dotage. It was also the scene of the most memorable event of my high school years. Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor filmed a part of the movie “Silver Streak” in the old building. It stood in for an abandoned railway station somewhere near Kansas. Sadly, the interior was gutted by fire in 1985 but it was brought back to life in 1987 when it became the home of the Alberta Ballet. These are just a very few of the heritage structures I find “awesome” (sorry) in this city. (And I didn’t mention the Glenmore Dam once) What is your most favourite heritage site? Lake View Heights, Proposed Community, 1912 Postcards from the Past, PC 925 Have you signed up for our Heritage Weekend programs yet? Better get on it – you wouldn’t want to miss any of these great programs. We start the weekend with Heritage Matters on Friday night. We will hear about the fabulously successful Century Homes project and follow the quest of one homeowner to discover his homes’ past. Right after that, pop up to the Dutton Theatre to hear about one of Calgary’s aviation heroes, Freddie McCall (for whom McCall Field was named). Shirlee Smith Matheson and Freddie McCall Jr. will be speaking and the Aero Space museum (a partner in this presentation) will have artifacts and art on display. You don’t have to register for this one – just drop in. Next day starts with Irena Karshenbaum presenting The Oil Barrons, a talk about the Barron family and their remarkable contribution to Calgary. I’ve heard Irena speak and can say from experience that this will be a great presentation. Then at noon, there is a Communities Heritage Roundtable about Canadian Heritage in our Midst. A panel of experts will talk about sites of national significance right here in Calgary. At 1 o’clock we will hear from Stephanie White about Unbuilt Calgary. This will be an intriguing presentation as we hear about a century’s worth of plans for Calgary development, some of which never made it off the drawing board, some which may one day come to fruition (boating reach ‘round City Hall, anyone?) At 2, we are going to be regaled with Stories of Calgary. Some of my favourite historian-storytellers are going to be on hand to tell us stories of Calgary’s past and the intriguing people who made up this great city. Hugh Dempsey, Harry Sanders, Max Foran, Nancy Townshend and Brian Brennan – all brilliant storytellers, will keep us entertained, and probably teach us a thing or two. Last, but not least, we will have a Meet and Greet with representatives of some of Calgary’s heritage organizations. These are the folks who work behind the scenes to support and protect heritage in Calgary. Come and mingle with some of the most interesting people I’ve ever met – it’s going to be grand. To find out more information and to register, follow this link. I hope to see you there. Calgary Municipal Airport, McCall Field, 1962 Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 70-18 Central Collegiate Institute Hockey Team, 1947 from Analecta, 1947 Peter Lougheed passed away last week. We have lost a great man. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at an awards evening and at other events and I always came away from those speeches inspired and proud of my province. He was a member of one of Calgary’s oldest and most notable families, but he treated every one he encountered as an equal. He has earned a place in the hearts of most Albertans, not just for his accomplishments, which were great, but also for his qualities as a person. I wanted to write something about Mr. Lougheed that spoke to these qualities. I remembered a question we had had, shortly after I started working with the Local History collection. We use this story to illustrate how parts of the local history collection can be used for genealogical research. A customer had called asking us to find out, if we could, what Peter Lougheed had done in high school: what clubs he belonged to, when he graduated, what sports he played, etc. We knew that he had attended Central (it was called Central Collegiate Institute at the time) and that we had some of the yearbooks, the Analecta, in our collection. (I know it is kind of a dirty trick to pull someone’s high school yearbooks and look at the photos – I never tell any of my colleagues the year that I graduated, because we have my high school yearbooks here in the collection, and the last thing I want them to see is me in my teenaged glory. But I am not one of the great leaders of our century, so this is different). We have the Analecta for the years that Mr. Lougheed attended. He was called Pete then and he was a handsome and richly accomplished young man. His is a yearbook to be proud of. The photo above, is of his year on the Central Hockey team. (I like this one in particular because one of his teammates is a man that my father worked with and who lived next door to us when I was growing up.) That year St. Joseph’s, a school in Edmonton, wanted to have an unofficial “Alberta Interscholastic Hockey Championship” and the only Calgary school that answered the call was Central. It was proposed that the two teams play a two-game, total-point series. St. Joseph’s took the first game, played April 11, 1947, 6-5. Pete Lougheed scored an unassisted goal late in the third, but it was not enough to push Central to victory. The next night Central came out shooting. Lougheed scored one in the second which helped Central score [[phy_address]] Joseph’s 5, giving Central the “mythical title” (as the Herald put it) of provincial high school hockey champs. This is just one example of Pete Lougheed’s many accomplishments in high school. He lettered in Activities and Athletics in 1946, serving on student council (he was president in 1947), participating in Hi-Y, playing basketball, hockey and rugby, doing track, coaching football, working on the Analecta, and participating in Naval Cadets. His nickname was Chief. Prophetic, perhaps? When I think of Peter Lougheed, I do so with affection. Although I’d met him only a few times, I felt I knew him, maybe that is how we all felt. Under his leadership, Alberta realized that it was a great province. Looking at his record of accomplishment in his youth, it is obvious he was destined for greatness, but perhaps that is because he did not see anything as impossible. It seemed nothing was beyond his capabilities. He made us feel that way about ourselves, about our province. That may be the greatest gift he has given us. Central High School Postcards from the Past, PC 1957 Calgary, NWT, 1884 Community Heritage and Family History Map Collection CALG 4 In passing, in an earlier blog, I mentioned that we are undertaking a project which will digitize parts of the collection of maps that is held in the Community Heritage and Family History room. We have been looking forward to this day for a very long time, as maps are such great resources, but such awkward things to use. They are even more awkward to store, and this sometimes makes accessing them a bit of a fight. (Not that the fight isn’t worth it!) Well, with our new project, cranky maps are going to be a thing of the past. We have digitized a small number of early Calgary maps, but, and this is a way better thing for a library-geek, we have entered the information on all of our maps, even the ones that aren’t digitized, into the database as well. What this means is that the entire collection can be searched by keyword and the date of the map shows up as well. This is a vast improvement over trying to find the maps by looking at the red duo-tang which held the list of maps (in no particular order) or by browsing the collection, which didn’t work either, as more than half the collection is not in the map cabinet at the front of the room. (I told you they were awkward to store!) The upshot is that we hope to see many more users of our map collection and many more requests for particular maps. In my last blog entry I talked about how important maps can be to genealogists. Aside from the directory maps of rural areas, which include names of landowners, maps can tell their stories about the place and the people. When we do tours of the local history room for schools, I like to show a wonderful map we have from 1913 (the Harrison & Ponton map of the city – which is digitized on the site) and point out the wonderful names of the districts of Calgary: Deer Park, Silver Heights, Poplar Grove, and the location of the proposed university, just west of the Banff Motor Coach Road. This map tells a story about Calgary and the people in it. We were coming off one of the greatest booms in our history; we had annexed miles of land and laid out neighbourhoods for the coming population boom. We were determined to be a city of substance. We were going to have a university, just on the western edge of the city. So what happened? We don’t have a Silver Heights or a Poplar Bluff, or a Happyland for that matter. And we know that the university isn’t west of the Banff Coach Road. Well, just as we are today, we were a city with our eyes on the future. But the future was going to be a little further off than we thought, because by 1913 the boom that we are celebrating this year, with all the building that occurred in 1912, had bust. The city did not grow to be the huge, sprawling metropolis that we had anticipated in the early part of the 20th century. This is the story behind the map. So, check out our map collection and let us know what you think. You can post a comment at the bottom of the page. And when you’ve found the map you’d like to see, come down and visit us on the 4th floor of the Central Library. We would love to take you on a tour of our delightful (yes, now it is delightful) map collection. Mayor Nenshi Proclaims Historic Calgary Week, Photograph courtesy Val Jobson It is here! Mayor Nenshi launched Historic Calgary Week this past Friday at the Southern Alberta Pioneers building. There are SO many interesting programs going on this week, I can’t decide where I want to go. Check out the brochure and join in on this celebration of our heritage. So, because it is the annual celebration of our history, Calgary Public Library has launched our newest digitized collection - Historic Maps of Calgary and Alberta. Maps can be a fascinating way to look at the history of a city and its people and this collection highlights a sampling of historic Calgary maps that have been digitized from the Community Heritage and Family History's print map collection found in the Local History Room at the Central Library. The print map collection consists of hundreds of maps dating from the early 19th century and into to 21st. Below is a sample of one of the digitized maps: Map showing Calgary in 1884 Community Heritage and Family History Map Collection, CALG 4 This map of Calgary N.W.T. shows locations and dates of early Calgary buildings and provides valuable insight into our city's history and development. For example, did you know that in 1884 the City Pound was across the street from where the Central Library is now? Click here to see the collection, or find it through the Community Heritage and Family History Digital Library (under Books & More from our website) To see the sample of digitized maps available online, click on Digitized Map link on the collections front page. You can also access information about the hundreds of actual maps in our collection; click on the Browse All tab at the top of the page. So while we work at getting more of the maps digitized and available, you can see the real thing in the Local History room on the fourth floor at the Central Library. And keep in mind, that if you have any questions about the maps or about history or genealogy, you can contact us via our Chat Reference, by email or by telephone at 403-260-2785. Cowboys and Cowgirls in 1912 Stampede Parade Postcards from the Past, PC 1573 Well, it’s nearly here! The 100th anniversary Calgary Stampede begins with the parade on Friday. The parade is, for many, the most important part of the Stampede celebration. The streets are lined with thousands of folks, many of them dressed up in western regalia. The first Stampede parade I can remember was in 1965. Walt Disney was the parade marshal, and if I’m not mistaken, Mickey Mouse was here, too. I may have been at other, earlier, parades as my parents loved the Stampede and my dad’s office was right on the route. I wouldn’t have been one yet when Bing Crosby was parade marshal, but I bet my parents took me to that one – they were Bing Crosby fans. I don’t remember the Three Stooges, but I bet I was at that one, too as my brother was a die-hard fan. Bing Crosby, Parade Marshall, 1959 Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 34-06 My favourites were always the marching bands and the mini-cars. Those seemed to be pretty standard over the years. I live near a wide open field so I get a sneak preview of some of the marching bands as they practice (at 9:00 in the morning on the weekends, mind you). My other faves were the First Nations representatives who have been an integral part of the Stampede since the beginning. And with the 100th anniversary Stampede parade, the chiefs of the Treaty Seven Nations are going to be honourary parade marshals. It is going to be something, I tell ya. First Nations People in Traditional Dress in Stampede Parade, undated Postcards from the Past, PC 593 I believe that everybody, even those of us with curmudgeonly tendencies, loves a parade. And it seemed that in the days before we were inundated with entertainment options, parades were a very common event. Military bands paraded up and down the streets, returning soldiers paraded through the city, there was a parade on the opening of baseball season, (for which the mayor had declared a half-day off for the city). There were Victory Bond parades, which included floats and fire eaters supplied by Cappy Smart and the fire department. It seems that on any excuse, a parade was held. This must have been a very interesting time. Some of the fanciest parades, pre - Stampede, were for the Dominion Exhibitions that were held here. The postcard below is a photo of a Roman chariot in the parade for the Dominion Exhibition of 1908. Roman Chariot on 8th Avenue, possibly part of an historic parade Dominion Exhibition, 1908(?) Postcards from the Past, PC 868 So, the parade itself is a nostalgic event, from a time when you could just get up a bunch of yahoos and march down the street for any good reason. I like that. Let’s bring that spirit to the 100th Anniversary Stampede Parade and get your yahoos out. Start of the 50th Anniversary Stampede Parade, 1962 Alison Jackson Photograph Collection, AJ 63-15 Harry Sanders is our Historian Laureate Scott Jolliffe, Chair CHA, Harry Sanders, Alderman Druh Farrell Photo courtesy Judith Umbach I was delighted to be able to attend the crowning of Calgary’s first Historian Laureate. Being a long-time Calgary native, I have watched the attitudes of administration toward the preservation and celebration of heritage develop over the years from an almost personal animosity toward old buildings (think Rod Sykes being attacked by the Burns Building) to today’s understanding of the value of preserving the past. Our new laureate is a person who has spent his entire adult life bringing heritage to the people and interpreting it for them through his own, passionate view. Harry Sanders makes history meaningful. In his hands, heritage is a living thing, a story of everyday people – the people who make this city great. Part of the investiture ceremony was a poetry slam. Our other laureate, Kris Demeanor, Calgary’s first Poet Laureate (and believe me, when I was growing up, studying literature at university, the idea that the city of Calgary, Capitalist Calgary, would ever have a poet laureate would have provoked gales of laughter in all of the cement and steel towers that line our streets) wrote and delivered a challenge – one that Calgarians have long been debating – what use is history? With his permission, here is Kris’s throw down: Okay, I know it’s not in the Calgary tradition of niceness and politeness, but I cannot hold my peace! I don’t care about Guy Weadick’s rope and release any more than I do the fathers of Greece It’s old news and we all know that’s only fit for wrapping fish and chips Look, nothing against Harry, I’m sure he’s a wealth of facts colourful, sublime, astounding and scary, But let me save you all two years of talk of beaver pelt hats and ‘That used to be a nunnery!’ And give you a quick and easy summary of all you need to know about history PERSONAL: You are the genetic union of a mother and father, they gave you food and water, you grew, learnt a bunch of stuff, most of it useless, you got a job and barbecue. THE WORLD: Big Bang, plants, fish, caveman, hominid, ice age, Egypt, Rome, Aztecs, war war war war war, Bible, Genghis Khan, Da Vinci, Queen Victoria, war, war, war, Einstein, guy in Hummer with a baseball cap and GI Joe facial hair, there, DONE. History teaches us nothing, we have always just been bluffing our way from one grand embarrassment to another- we don’t look at letters from our last lover, or replay the video reel of us throwing up at the school dance or failing math. Let our collective insecurity and shame over the past lead the way to a brighter tomorrow full of wisdom we don’t need to borrow. All I could learn from my forefathers and foremothers is how to stoke a coal stove and churn my own butter, and I don’t want to do that. I don’t want to imagine a world without frozen pizza, omnipresent technology and direct flights to Cuban all-inclusives for five hundred dollars. Look, Harry will claim that history is interesting, but when I look back I see buffalo carcasses stacked, endless trains rolling down endless track, dust, snowstorms, scarlet fever and clothing with colour choices ranging from beige to brown, look around, we’re surrounded by concrete, glass, GPS, pubs with seven beers from Belgium and full of people looking forward, ahead, and into the future, why go back or even stay in neutral, sure maybe the Marx Brothers played here, but I can get the latest and greatest sent straight from a satellite and into my ear. History? Two weeks of the retro kitsch of Stampede is all I need to feel connected to folk of old who found themselves stuck in this cold, harsh land, I’m burning my brand into the hide of this city with a laser. I’ve been here since birth, and trust me, we’ve long since paved over anything worth unearthing. Harry, good luck putting flesh on the past, but you’re going to run out of fodder fast! So, though tongue-in-cheek, this does raise the question – What value is there in the past? Harry’s job as historian laureate will be to answer this question, which he did, in verse, no less: Poetry may be the more universal art Some things are best said in verse But a forgotten poem is never repeated So forgetting our history is worse Those we follow inform who we are Crowfoot, Macleod, Weadick, Edworthy They’re with us still, for good or ill Daily, we’re shaped by our history So, it is a great honour to have a small part In celebrating this 100th anniversary I pledge to remind you all of our shared past As Historian Laureate of Calgary I know that Harry will continue to answer the question in his own inimitable style. Way to go, Harry! Poet Laureate Kris Demeanor asks the Question "What's so great about history?"
Randall Irmis, curator of paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Utah and an assistant professor at the University of Utah, is investigating the rise of dinosaurs in southeastern Utah. Tuesday, Sept. 4 The rocks we’re searching in southern Utah are a great place to understand ancient ecosystems, not just because they preserve lots of fossil bones, but because they contain other types of evidence of past life. In particular, we are lucky enough to find the fossil footprints of many of the vertebrate animals that walked and ran around this area 210 million years ago. Footprints are a key tool in a paleontologists’ arsenal because they can tell us how the animal moved, how big it was, whether it congregated in groups, and other evidence of behavior. We’ve discovered many fossil footprints and trackways over the past several years in this area, but there are constantly new surprises. This year, while documenting a footprint site found a couple of years ago, the team leader Andrew Milner from the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site and two team members David Slauf and Erin Finney discovered a completely new site with well-preserved trackways. These footprints (see accompanying photo) were made by a variety of crocodilian relatives and small dinosaurs, indicating that they inhabited the same environments at the same time.
Parenting through the teen years, especially when dealing with rebellion, requires both tenacity and persistence.

Last July, Chicago rapper Rhymefest released his album Blue Collar to critical acclaim. The album was backed by Kanye West and even featured his production. Although the situation seemed right, the album didn’t sell and to date has not reached gold certification. On his second go around, El Che, Rhymefest reached out to Crunk Master Lil’ Jon for help behind the boards. The result is a dark and highly vengeful track Angry Black Man on an Elevator, no doubt a direct response to his Blue Collar experience. Hopefully on album number three we’ll hear Happy Black Man on an Escalator.

What’s In Store: Katherine Kwei SS12 Last Wednesday night, I had the privilege of attending Katherine Kwei's Spring Summer 2012 collection preview. I'm always astounded by her unique handbag designs, which incorporate traditional Chinese knotting techniques, and this time was no different. One of my favorites, the Isabel lady clutch, showcases the hand done knotting in a gorgeous way. I also loved the Vivian Chain bags, Katherine’s take on a quilted classic. What really caught my eye, though, were these Clea snake clutches in delicious hues of pink and green. Who doesn’t love a citron accessory? Jaimen and I I had so much fun checking out Katherine Kwei’s new collection and seeing some of my favorite bloggy friends. Thanks so much to Katherine and the Small Girls for having me!

The last team to score against them was the Hendersonville Lady Commandos who were now their opponents in the regional championship game.

It's killing me already. I was having to take a prilosec everyday until I found out I was pregnant. I take a couple tums a day now and it alleviates it for the moment.

HAMMOND \| In a highly anticipated soccer match between two rivals, it’s no surprise Monday’s contest between Times No. 4 Bishop Noll and No. 6 Andrean was physical throughout its entirety. The match ended in a 0-0 tie, with 45 fouls, seven yellow cards, two ejections, and nothing but bumps and bruises for both teams. Bragging rights having to wait until the postseason, where the teams will likely meet again in the Bishop Noll Sectional. The tie extends both teams’ unbeaten streaks to five matches. Both teams lost key players for their next contest due to soft red cards, perhaps more significant for Andrean since leading scorer Mike Gore will be unavailable for Wednesday’s Northwest Crossroads Conference-deciding contest against Munster. For Bishop Noll, Gonzalo Romo will not be able to play Thursday against Covenant Christian Bishop Noll coach Armando Garza downplayed the significance of the physical aspect of the game and the rivalry itself. “Both teams battled hard, and it was waiting to see who was going to make a mistake or score first,” he said. “It was just a matter of capitalizing on opportunities. “We both have banged up teams. It’s a matter of getting them healthy. Everyone was so looking forward to this game. All we wanted was to get this game done.” Andrean showed its quickness and ability to attack in the second half, especially on Evan Fogle’s goal attempt with 19:40 remaining in the game. However, Fogle’s shot was too high, and the score remained 0-0. Both teams had several opportunities to get on the board in the first half, but perhaps the best scoring attempt came from Bishop Noll’s Aaron Garza, who uncorked a laser beam with 28 minutes left in the first half that sailed just inches over the top of the goal.

Photoshop Fun: An Exhausted Kyle Drabek A few weeks ago, the fine folks at AP posted this photo of Kyle Drabek exhausted from a wind sprint workout. I couldn’t resist the urge to use this picture to Photoshop Kyle Drabek into a few compromising positions. Enjoy! Madness? This is Clearwater! Poor Kyle … the guy can’t seem to catch a break. First he’s on the receiving end of a drop kick by King Leonidas, then he gets an elbow drop from Shawn Michaels. Kyle just chilling on Kirk Van Houten’s prize possession: his racecar bed. In fact, Kyle enjoyed it so much, he decided to get his very own racecar bed. He appears to have the same reaction, though. After the fact, he headed to the therapist to talk about his “daddy issues”. Turns out there’s a lot of pressure being the son of a former Cy Young Award winner. Link tried his best to wake Kyle Drabek from his eternal slumber. It turns out Kyle was just looking for a comfy place to crash until Opening Day. Kyle Drabek’s day off. One of the worst performances of his career, and they never doubted it for a second. This is what happens when internet memes clash: Emo Kyle Drabek meets Emo Juan Uribe. Kyle Drabek: the forgotten victim of the Vancouver Riots. Of course, the “kissing couple” got all the press while Kyle was left to suffer. The seven dwarves are a little but confused as to why Kyle Drabek decided to take a cat nap in the middle of the forest. Since Kyle spent some time down in Las Vegas last season, naturally he stumbled onto the set of “The Hangover”. And lastly, the ill effects of one crazy night finally caught up with Kyle in the hot Las Vegas desert. Luckily, they’re the four best friends that anybody could have. Kyle Drabek Had a Racecar Bed as a Kid An update to the Drabek Photoshops: I received a tweet from Kyle Drabek’s mother Kristy Drabek which confirmed that Kyle did in fact have a racecar bed as a kid. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up, folks. @BlueJayHunter What’s funny is he had a race car bed!!— Kristy Drabek (@krisdrabek) March 5, 2012 Filthy Alert: Kyle Drabek’s Two-Seamer I finally got around to posting this from this past Tuesday, but this was the result from one of Kyle Drabek’s two-seam fastball from the game vs. the Red Sox. Jarrod Saltalamacchia was held helpless against it, as he struck out looking in this at bat. Were Drabek & Hutchison Doomed by the Inverted W? Over at BJH, a look at a symptom that may have signaled that injuries were in the future of Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison. It all has to do with the “Inverted W”.

Can I just retire from the BOP in three years with total of 20 years law enforcement at age 48? I’d wait until I am 50 years old and start collecting my retirement. From age 48 – [[phy_address]] to work at Wal-mart or a grocery store. I also bought back 6 years of my military. A. No, you can’t retire at age 48 with 20 years of covered civilian law enforcement service. You’ll either have to work until you are age 50 or resign from the government and apply for a deferred annuity when you reach your minimum retirement age. If you were born in 1965, your MRA would be 56 and 2 months; if you were born in 1966, it would be 56 and 4 months. FYI: No mater what route you take, 20 years of covered service will be computed using the 1.7 percent multiplier, all other service using the standard 1 percent multiplier. Comments are closed.

LSU’s national title hopes have been dashed after their second loss, but there is still plenty to play for, including spoiling the title hopes of rival Alabama on Nov. [[phy_address]] their bye week. For LSU, the bye week is coming at the perfect time because the Tigers have a lot they need to work on in the time between kickoff between the SEC west rivals. Related: Week 10 BCS Standings Zach Mettenberger needs to stop his Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde routine over the past few games and put together a consistent four quarters and display the form he showed in the first quarter of the season when he was a darkhorse Heisman contender. Now that talk is all but a distant memory. Related: LSU Bowl Projections The running game behind the deepest backfield in the SEC and perhaps the country can lessen the burden on Mettenberger to feel the need to throw for 300-yards and three touchdowns every game. Plus he has one of the best wide receiver duos in the country with Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry capable of breaking open a game on any given play. As talented and prolific as the Cam Cameron-led offense has been as a whole, the problem reflects on its field general where four quarters of consistent offense has been largely absent. We’ve seen great first halves followed by duds in the second half and we’ve seen the polar opposite with sloppy first half play followed by great play in the final 30 minutes. The Furman game was a microcosm of the LSU season. It’s easy to look past Furman with the bye and Alabama off in the distance, and the biggest beneficiary of this bye week may not be the player’s health, but rather their minds who need the battery recharged. “We’ve been going since Aug. 2 without a break,” LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger tells NOLA.com. “It’s going to be a great time for us to heal, take it easy a little bit. Get refocused, recharge our batteries to get ready for a battle in Tuscaloosa.” Mettenberger is likely suffered from a mental fatigue from the recent struggles he’s endured and the countless hours he’s spent learning Cameron’s new offense and the hours spent watching and breaking down film. A number of teams including Alabama have already had one bye week, so you get the feeling this LSU team may be running on fumes a little bit considering the grueling schedule they face and the mental grind preparing for the top team in the country takes on you. The physical toll falls more on the linemen, linebackers and running backs, especially Jeremy Hill who has been the proverbial workhorse with [[phy_address]] eight weeks. “I need it bad,” he said. “Getting all of those carries, it’s going to be great to get my legs under me for the home stretch, and I think it will be good for our team as well.” LSU is fully capable of giving Alabama their first loss, but in order take down the two-time defending champions they need to be ready physically as well as mentally. Getting away from the constant grind and coming back refreshed, rededicated and hungry to attack the rest of the schedule with relentless abandon is the mindset needed to take down the Crimson Tide. Anything less than that will not be enough to get past Alabama and perhaps Texas A&M. LSU can win out and salvage a once-promising season and sneak into the BCS bowl picture and earn an invite to the Sugar Bowl. LSU, #11 in the AP polls, begin an extremely tough final stretch of games as they take on two time defending National Champion Alabama Crimson Tide and Heisman winner Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M back to back. If LSU can beat both teams they will make a strong push for a BCS Bowl berth. LSU football tickets currently rank as the 8th most expensive on the TiqIQ Top 25 rankings for an average price of $158.
The Cup Runneth... In response to the HuffingtonPost live chat about white washing American youths minds, I realized how fortunate I was to grow up in New York City. I grew up predominately in suburban New York City in Queens most of my life. I was fortunate as a youth to have two teachers who when teaching history did not focus solely on the “White” story of America. Guess what? They weren’t white teachers. I fully learned the black experience in America from my 7th grade Social Studies teacher, Mr. Green. Mr. Green introduced my class to Roots. The story of an African, who was stolen from his homeland. Poor Kunta was dragged across an ocean, chained, beaten, starved, and soled like an animal and forced to acknowledge his White name Toby. Although this wasn’t the first time I heard this story, my mother had taken me to several museums and told me many stories about slavery, and I witnessed sharecropping first hand as a youth, this was the first time I could see the story in live action and have a connection to it. When we learned about history I was told by Mr. Green, and the following year by another black male teacher—whose name escapes me, that history was just that HIS-story. The HIS in reference was a white man predominately, and we must search for the truth behind what is being given. That lead me on a journey of self exploration to find out what my root really were. What my story was and how that was included in the fabric of Americana. I became engrossed in History, always seeking the truth and wanting to learn how faces like mine were affected and never settling on just the white face of the story. In High School, in AP English Literature, I was introduced to Shakespears the Tempest and through heavy conversations we debated the possibility of Caliban actually being black and what impact his race would have on the play and why would it not be acceptable to have an openly black character in the play. We read Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart and learned that Blacks also wrote books and were literate and played a role in literary society. My AP English Literature class did not solely focus on “great white writers” but the others, and how a writer told a story. It was the first time, I read something in school where there were faces like mine. I was fortunate that a foundation had been laid. When I went to college and decided to be a History student, a seeker of truth I uncovered many new discoveries about my people, how they have been historically erased along with their contributions. However I learned this in a liberal state, in liberal schools, with liberal teachers and professors. As a teacher, I was disheartened my first year in the classroom to hear a student tell me he was better off being a slave, because at least the basic needs of life were provided for him. I took it upon myself to carry the mantle that had been given me. To show my students that life is not all what they have shown in the history books. That the story presented is just that—-a story, a HIStory. I have always taught history in a non-lineal fashion and asked the students how they see the cyclical continuations of injustice in present day America. Whether it be child labor, civil injustice, fights for liberation, or states rights arguments we need to think clearly and present the open honest facts to our children. Not teach them about their culture solely one month a year (the shortest one). Or teach them that they need a savior i.e Martin Luther King Jr. or Malcolm X in order to have and obtain justice. Now that I am living in the South, I will be more diligent as a parent to ensure my son grows up proud of his ethnicity, his otherness and know the advantage of overcoming adversity. He will know that there were and are great everything’s that share his color—his background. He will know that he was born in a country that his historically tried to derail his pursuit of happiness, but that with hard work, tenacity, and armed with the truth NOTHING can hold you back. (Source: http) I was on a mission to find the answer to a question about my son touching his “buddy” when I came along post after post about parents befuddled about getting their four or five year old to use the potty. I must say that I was shocked. With many parents debating about attachment parenting verses “detachment” parent, my natural response is “How about basic parenting?” If you sit you’re child on the potty, and teach them from an early age that they have no CHOICE but to do what you say, than many of these basic problems wont be had. I started sitting my child on the potty at 6 months. That’s him right there— Took a while for him to get used to it, but by a years time, he was using the potty habitually and rarely making night time mistakes. At a few weeks before four years old, I proudly return the same “just in case” clothes to Pre-k because he KNOWS to use the bathroom, that anything else is not an option. It all starts from the beginning and it starts from home.
NCIS: Los Angeles’ Hetty is going to lend the Scorpion guys a hand later this month, and EW has the exclusive first look. Tag: Television (105-117 of 4757) 'Walking Dead' star Sarah Wayne Callies joins 'Colony' cast There will be a meeting of the sci-fi minds as former The Walking Dead star Sarah Wayne Callies will be joining the cast of Colony, the new USA Network pilot from former Lost co-showrunner Carlton Cuse. Another Lost alum, Josh Holloway, will also be starring in the drama, which takes place in a modern day Los Angeles that is being occupied by alien invaders. READ FULL STORY 'The Originals': Where we left off, what's next in season 2 The Originals started as a show about three siblings, a thousand years of family history, and Klaus’ desire to regain control of New Orleans. But in season two, there are more Originals than ever, and Klaus is less about the city and more about revenge. “This [season] is about trying to clean up [season one's] mess and the hope that they can create an environment where they can bring their child home,” executive producer Julie Plec said. “Only what they do not yet realize in the beginning is that the new mess is in the form of their old family.” Quickly, Klaus’ revenge mission will get a lot more complicated. “In the beginning, it’s vengeance against the wolves, but then slowly as more details start to appear to them and they realize oh our mother’s back, our father’s back, one brother at least is back, suddenly they realize, ‘What would happen if we all worked together against this entity that is here to cause us harm,'” Plec said. “And so we get to have a lot of fun with two species that shouldn’t necessarily get along, that shouldn’t be in cooperation with each other but trying to bring them together in all the different ways they can in hopes of building an alliance that is powerful enough to defeat the nasty side of the Original family that’s really in town causing all the trouble.” That being said, don’t expect Mikael and Esther to be the only villains this season. “The family drama is the centerpiece of the season, but that is by no means the only outlet for enemies,” Plec said. “We have enemies brewing in the present; we have enemies brewing that are coming from the past. We’ve got all kinds of good additional problems to dump into the melting pot of New Orleans. And it’s just going to keep getting worse and worse as far as who’s coming into town to do what, and not all of them are going to be aligned with Esther and Mikael either, so they might find themselves up against an enemy of their own.” As for what that means for the characters, get a rundown of their agendas below. 'The Walking Dead' star Steven Yeun says Glenn 'is a leader' in season 5 Talking to Steven Yeun is always an enlightening experience. The guy tends to be quite thoughtful and candid when discussing The Walking Dead. Sure, we get into all the stuff you would expect, like what we will see from Glenn in the upcoming season. Yeun has plenty to say about all of that (as evidenced by the headline above). But he also enjoys veering the conversation into other directions, and they are always interesting. So read on to hear Yeun talking about not only about the show, but viewer reaction to it, and what it will take for The Walking Dead to remain a viable and vital program moving forward. Good stuff, folks. (Click through both pages to read the entire interview.) READ FULL STORY 'Once Upon a Time' first look: Elizabeth Mitchell makes her debut as the Snow Queen Elsa isn’t the only ice queen in Storybrooke. At the close of Sunday’s episode of Once Upon a Time, Lost alum Elizabeth Mitchell finally made her debut as the owner of the local ice cream parlor, which wasn’t affected by the town’s power outage caused by Elsa (Georgina Haig) thanks to similar magical powers that enable her to freeze things. That’s right, Mitchell is playing the Snow Queen, the real villain of the first half of the season. Once fans got their first glimpse of the Snow Queen during the promo for next week’s episode, but you can check out Mitchell in all her Snow Queen glory below: 'Buffy' alum Nicholas Brendon heads to MTV's 'Faking It' Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum Nicholas Brendon has landed a guest-starring role on Faking It, EW has learned. 'The Walking Dead' producer Gale Anne Hurd on 'the most ambitious episodes we've ever done' The Walking Dead season 5 premiere is now a mere week away. We already provided a One-Minute Refresher to get you all caught up on everything that happened last season. Now, executive producer Gale Anne Hurd spills some intel on what to expect coming up when the show returns on Oct. 12. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, Gale, what can you say about the overall story or theme we’re looking at this season, or at least during the first eight episodes? GALE ANNE HURD: Well, certainly what we’re seeing is that Rick Grimes is accepting the mantle of leadership in a way that is unlike he’s ever done in previous seasons. And that tends to have a ripple effect, with his relationships across the board in this show. We’re also embarking on the most ambitious episodes we’ve ever done in terms of not only the action set pieces, but also the level of emotional weight that’s brought to bear on the characters. READ FULL STORY NBC adds Thandie Newton, Melissa George to miniseries 'The Slap' NBC is getting a little slap-happy. The network has added Thandie Newton and Melissa George to its upcoming miniseries, The Slap, which is based on the [[phy_address]] of the same name. Written by Jon Robin Baitz (The West Wing), The Slap is described as “a complex family drama that explodes from one small incident where a man slaps another couple’s misbehaving child.” From there, secrets are exposed, a lawsuit is filed, and all kinds of drama ensues in the miniseries, which has an eight-episode order. Nina Dobrev says things get 'complicated' for Tatia on 'The Originals' At this point, Nina Dobrev has played three doppelgangers on The Vampire Diaries. There was Elena, Katherine (pictured above), and the one who spawned them all, Amara. But when news broke that Dobrev was headed to season 2 of The Originals as Tatia, fans instantly flashed back to season 3 of TVD, when we first heard mention of Tatia’s name. Over dinner with Stefan and Damon, Klaus and Elijah reflected on the time they had both fallen in love with the same girl when they were humans: Tatia, the first doppelganger of Amara. In fact, it had been Tatia’s blood that Esther used to bind Klaus’ werewolf side and keep him from becoming a hybrid. But other than that, there isn’t much we know about the woman who captured both of the brothers’ hearts, and that’s exactly why she’s headed to The Originals. Originals executive producer Michael Narducci revealed that Tatia will appear in episode 5 of season 2 in a flashback that will take viewers back to the time of the Vikings. “[Nina Dobrev] got to be in scenes with both of our leads, both Daniel [Gillies] and Joseph [Morgan],” Narducci said. “We tell a story that will make you understand her fate, what happened to her, her relationship with both brothers and why what happened between her and the two brothers is so beautiful but also tragic.” And when we spoke with Dobrev about how Tatia differs from her other doppelgangers, she said, “I feel like she’s the purest of them all because she is the original original doppelganger. She doesn’t have anyone that proceeded her that affects her life and that she has to live up to or whose history will haunt her in the future, so she has no preconceived notions. She doesn’t have all the vampire drama before her existence, so she’s just pure love and hope and innocence in a way … until things get complicated, as they always do.” Speaking of things getting complicated, when asked about additional crossovers this season, Narducci made it clear that it isn’t likely to see anyone else (even Caroline) in New Orleans anytime soon. “It doesn’t feel like there’s an easy way to make people drop what they’re doing in Mystic Falls and come to New Orleans,” he said. “And certainly, once our storylines get rolling, it’s going to be very obvious that it will to be very impossible for our characters to take a vacation and go to Mystic Falls, but we are always looking, if it makes sense for story, to honor the fact that this is a shared universe.” As for Caroline? “You’ll see pretty quickly that Klaus is going to have his hands full with the return of [his family] in his life and if anything, the last thing he would want is to involve someone else in that. There’s a lot of dirty family business to deal with first.” The Originals returns for season 2 Monday, Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. on The CW.

get to know me; 5/5 favorite movies: Dead Poets Society. Truth. Truth is like, like a blanket that always leaves your feet cold. You push it, stretch it, it’ll never be enough. You kick at it, beat it, it’ll never cover any of us. From the moment we enter crying to the moment we leave dying, it will just cover your face as you wail and cry and scream. Don’t you forget this. In Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound. It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship. It’s a time machine. It goes backwards, forwards. It takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the Wheel. It’s called a Carousel. It lets us travel the way a child travels. Around and around, and back home again… to a place where we know we are loved. Mad Men, 1.13, “The Wheel” I cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day, when he said, ‘Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?’ Grandpa said, ‘No. But I served in a company of heroes.’ Tyrion Lannister Appreciation: [Day 3] Colors → Black & Gold make me choose → Jaime and Tyrion or Jaime and Brienne"Jaime, he thought, despairing. My own blood, my big strong brother. When I was small he brought me toys, barrel hoops and blocks and a carved wooden lion. He gave me my first pony and taught me how to ride him. I never doubted him. Why would I?” Game of Thrones Meme ✖ 6/7 QUOTES “I will give you your confession.” Tyrion stared up at his father’s hard green eyes. “Guilty,” he said, “so guilty. Is that what you wanted to hear?” Prince Oberyn looked mildly disappointed. “You admit you poisoned the king?” “Nothing of the sort,” said Tyrion. “I am guilty of a more monstrous crime. I was born. I live. I am guilty of being a dwarf, I confess it. And no matter how many times my good father forgave me, I have persisted in my infamy.” “This is folly, Tyrion,” declared Lord Tywin. “You are not on trial for being a dwarf.” “That is where you err, my lord. I have been on trial for being a dwarf my entire life.” Stannis wore a grey wool tunic, a dark red mantle, and a plain black leather belt from which his sword and dagger hung. A red-gold crown with flame-shaped points encircled his brows. The look of him was a shock. He seemed ten years older than the man that Davos had left at Storm’s End when he set sail for the Blackwater and the battle that would be their undoing. The king’s close-cropped beard was spiderwebbed with grey hairs, and he had dropped two stone or more of weight. He had never been a fleshy man, but now the bones moved beneath his skin like spears, fighting to cut free. Even his crown seemed too large for his head. His eyes were blue pits lost in deep hollows, and the shape of a skull could be seen beneath his face. Yet when he saw Davos, a faint smile brushed his lips. “So the sea has returned me my knight of the fish and onions.” She’d left them long ago. The Gods have no mercy.
"What are the [[phy_address]] items for this summers wardrobe?" Here’s a legitimate sartorial inquiry made by a fellow follower; Mr. Drew. All these questions about relationships and the “consistency of my hair” have been getting a little redundant… and a little boring to be honest with you lol. So here goes; I usually don’t like to read articles saying this and that are “must-haves” so I will just say that these are things I consider to be more or less essential to my personal wardrobe. 1. Deconstructed blazer There will always be occasions where you need to “dress up” a bit. As much as I love dressing down and throwing on a snapback, A Sunday brunch with friends and family will call for something a little more…. appropriate. A fully lined blazer is way too much for the Summer heat, especially in NYC so pick up a deconstructed blazer in a thin, breathable cotton, or even linen. Stay cool. 2. [Colorful] Khakis I know in the last few months, you’ve seen me wearing mostly black, or monochromatic colors, but in the warmer months I like wearing a good amount of color. (If you go back enough on the WIWT pages, you will see some examples). Make sure the colorful pants you get are made from a thin cotton fabric so you don’t walk around with colorful swamp-ass all day. 3. Shades A nice pair of shades not only compliments your outfit, but has some health benefits as well. Most designs come with a polarized lens option and I think it’s actually worth the extra few bucks to get the polarized option. ie; UV rays (if you’ve seen Day After Tomorrow, you know what’s up). 4. Fresh sneakers I LOVE the warmer months only for the fresh sneakers I get to wear. With a copious amount of foot powder, going sans socks is the best feeling when you’ve got awesome breathable shoes like the Nike Flyknit Trainers. I also love my True White Vans and Tretorns. Just make sure if you’re part of the #sweatycrew like I am, to powder them real nice, because it’s really hard to get that stank out once it gets absorbed into the shoe. 5. Chambray shirt Again… it’s gonna be real hot in the summer and you need everything to breathe well. A chambray shirt will go a long way in the warmer months; I really love wearing mine with a pair of white jeans or khakis. Here’s a bonus; Murad // Oil-control Mattifier with SPF 15 On top of being in the #sweatycrew, I also tend to get oily in my T-zone and this thing helps keep me oil-free for a good 8-12hours. If you’re gonna be in the sunlight all day, it’s not cool to walk around shining light into everyone’s eyes with your oily face. Also, it has SPF15… which isn’t a lot, but better than nothing. You can also apply even more SPF on top of this.
OK, the wrapping paper is finally picked up from around the tree. The eggnog hangover is just about gone. Santa Claus is spending a week in the hot tub before he starts cranking out more Wiis. We took care of business on Sunday night. Now that that is all out of the way, bring on the Cowboys and the Redskins and one of the biggest clashes in recent memory in this storied rivalry. The Cowboys will want nothing more than to send the Redskins home early, and Redskins fans will be drooling over the prospects of not only getting in the playoffs but of gaining a mental edge on the Cowboys for when we face them in round 2 or 3. The only shadow over this game is exactly what the Cowboys will do with their starters. If I were the Cowboys, I’d want to win this game very badly. But at the same time, they have nothing to play for and with TO already hurt they don’t want to risk anything. According to amarillo.com (and no, I don’t know how good a source that is), Romo will play only a little. At the same time there’s this great quote from Romo: “We’ve got to be smart about it, but at the same point, we’re not laying down. We’re not coming out to say, ‘Hey, let’s take a week off. Let’s treat it like the preseason.’ We’re going to try to win this football game. We’re going to try to execute every play, like we do all the time. Really, the most important thing is, we’re going to try to get better.” Frankly, from what I saw of the Cowboys offense without TO, I’m not sure how much they can execute. I’m not saying this is going to be easy, but if it weren’t from three atrocius referee calls, the Cowboys would have lost to the hapless Panthers. I’ll be honest, I don’t think we can stop TO regularly without Sean Taylor. He’s too big and strong and fast even for Shawn Springs. But without TO, this Cowboys team is good but not great.

The Vita's answer to LittleBigPlanet. Media Molecule’s newest trailer for its platform / puzzler, Tearaway , shows off the new area of Sogport. It’s described as a “mysterious island marooned in a deep sea of glue, and inhabited by some very fishy folk with a fearful obsession with the island’s monstrous local wildlife.” The trailer also showcases a new character, atoi, who can be selected instead of the previously shown iota at the beginning of the game. Enlarge The Vita exclusive sees players assuming the role of a God of sorts, capable of reaching into the game to assist their chosen character travel across the world safely. It looks like an intriguing prospect, but then again we’d expect nothing less from the creators of LittleBigPlanet. Tearaway is scheduled for release sometime this year.

Posted: 06/26/2014 by Allan Roth \| Comments Bloomberg News recently wrote about brokers profiting by advising retirees to roll their 401(k) accounts into IRAs. Many of the retirees interviewed said they lost a lot of their savings from investments subsequently recommended to them. But this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider transferring your 401(k) money into an individual retirement account (IRA). Here’s how to decide: First, a little background.

No Christians Allowed? Two Canadian law societies – secretive committees of lawyers in each province – have decided to blacklist all students from a Christian law school in B.C. called Trinity Western University (TWU), because of that school’s Christian student code of conduct. None of those students – no matter how smart, no matter how hard-working, no matter how honest – will be allowed to practice law. It’s anti-Christian bigotry that would be unthinkable if it targeted Black, Jewish, Muslim or gay students. TWU’s law school is fully accredited, just like the University of Toronto or Osgoode Hall. But because its students live by Christian values, bigots at law societies across Canada have voted to ban its graduates from TWU from practicing law in their provinces. It’s the modern equivalent of a “No Blacks Allowed” sign on a restaurant in the 1960’s in the Deep South. Ontario’s law society voted 28 to 21 to ban any TWU students from working. In Nova Scotia, one single bigot was all it took: they voted 10 to 9 to ban these Christian students. It’s a shocking attack on freedom of religion, that’s clearly contrary to the promise of freedom of religion in Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms. You’d think law societies would care about that. Law societies should be stamping out discrimination, not enforcing it. There is no doubt that these secretive law societies are breaking the law. When anti-Christian bigots at the B.C. teacher’s college tried to do the same thing years ago, the Supreme Court of Canada smacked them down, saying anti-Christian discrimination is unacceptable in a modern society. Apparently these law society bigots think they’re above the law. It’s bullying at its worst. These anti-Christian extremists in Ontario and Nova Scotia aren’t even punishing TWU. They’re punishing individual law students they haven’t even met yet, simply for choosing to attend a Christian law school. What’s next? If they can ban lawyers based on the Christian views of their law school, can they ban individual lawyers who believe in Christianity too? Ironically, these same law societies were up in arms about Quebec’s proposed Charter of Values that would have banned government employees from wearing ostentatious religious symbols, like Sikh turbans or Muslim veils. That idea was defeated in April’s Quebec election. But now the bigots at the law societies want their own Charter of Values – but only targeting Christians. It’s a national disgrace. There is something deeply wrong when the people who are supposed to be guardians of our civil rights are the ones destroying them. Freedom of religion is so important, our Constitution even calls it a “fundamental freedom”. The law societies in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, PEI, Newfoundland and Nunavut know this – they’ve voted to approve graduates from TWU. Not every law society is as bigoted as the ones in Ontario and Nova Scotia. Sign the petition against anti-Christian bigotry in Canada’s law societies. We’ll send the petition to the hateful bullies in Ontario and Nova Scotia. And we’ll send it to the law societies that have yet to vote, to let them know we’re watching. This isn’t just about Christian students at TWU. It’s about whether we allow our entire legal system to be hijacked by extremist bigots, who are keeping an illegal enemies list of religions they don’t like. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms 2(b) Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.
alphadogg writes "If you think your house has bad cellular coverage, Verizon Wireless has you beat: A small, windowless room high up in a San Francisco office building gets no service at all. That's not because carriers are neglecting the bustling South of Market business district where the room is located. Instead, it's because Verizon is paying so much attention to what's going on there. The room with zero bars is in the heart of the Verizon Innovation Center, where Verizon network and business experts help developers of new wireless devices and apps to turn their ideas into products."

The problem with "retro" cars is that they are enslaved by the very same past they seek to recreate. Since its first showing as a concept, the Camaro has wowed onlookers. A week with the road-going version proved that nothing has changed. Getting gas was a protracted chore because of the interest.… Holy cow!

If General Motors produced more cars of the calibre of the Chevrolet Malibu and not the likes of the lowly Cobalt, the company would not be in the predicament it finds itself today. Contrary to what you may have heard, General Motors is still building trucks in Oshawa -- and at least one of them is rather futuristic.

However, when its all-new 2008 Malibu can not only match the Accord… The Chevrolet Silverado has received many awards, including Consumer's Digest Best Buy award. Most recently, the Silverado was named 2008 Truck of the Year by the Automobile Journalists Association of… By my third day of driving -- and subsequent gushing about -- Chevrolet's HHR, my wife Nancy suggested with more than a hint of petulance, "Pfft.

The microscope will be firmly fixed on England's controversial reverse swing methods during the Ashes, after the ICC announced a crack down on ball tampering. In October, changes will come into effect where umpires can act on suspicions of ball tampering even if they don't have firm evidence against a particular fieldsman. There will be a two step process in place where the umpire can replace the ball and give the captain a first and final warning if he feels the ball has been 'changed'. And on second infringement a five-run penalty will be awarded to the batting team and the captain reported. There's no suggestion from the ICC that the cracking down comes as a result of allegations levelled against England during the Champions Trophy. Former England captain Bob Willis claimed in television commentary at the tournament that there was an individual scratching the ball in the match against Sri Lanka at The Oval, and that umpire Aleem Dar was onto it when he ordered the ball to be replaced. England have strongly denied any wrongdoing. But suspicions only grew throughout the tournament, with Australian stand-in ODI captain George Bailey even admitting he was "very surprised" at how quickly England's bowlers managed to make the ball reverse compared to other teams. The changes won't come into play for this Ashes series, but there's no doubt umpires will be on the lookout for foul play. However, perhaps England's bigger worry ahead of the first test is the form of their batting line-up. Against a second-string attack for second division county side Essex, England struggled. In the pre-Ashes tour match, England were 7-212, with just three of the top seven making it past 30. Some poor shots and a lack of patience suggested perhaps England will take longer than they hoped to adjust from limited overs mode to a test mindset. The inability of England's batsmen to go on with the job on a flat pitch will have caught the attention of Australia's fast bowling contingent, who are backing themselves to cause havoc. Firebrand James Pattinson and dangerous left-arm seamer Mitchell Starc will be confident after a strong lead-in match for the Australians against Somerset in Taunton. - AAP Sponsored links Kiwis edge brave Samoan side in Four Nations McClenaghan holds nerve as Aces down Volts NZ Maori score commanding win over Japan ND Knights open T20 title defence with victory Lydia Ko fifth going into final round in Taiwan All Blacks focus won't wane for US formality Chicago turns on the chill ahead of ABs match Cooper to Beale: 'Learn from mistakes' Wallabies still World Cup contenders - Slade Dean Whare fit as Kiwis look to prove a point Brad Haddin refuses scans in attempt to save test As it happened: Four Nations Kiwis v Samoa Clos confident of beating Phelps again in Rio School takes tough line on 'pillowcase' bullies Two seriously injured in Microlight crash Teen arrested over Luke Tipene stabbing Kiwis edge brave Samoan side in Four Nations Teenage boy killed by lightning strike French town bans clown costumes All aboard the marriage express Call for Disney princess with Down Syndrome Booster sales up since car seat law change The man who Steve Jobs hated quits Google Robin Thicke to fight plagiarism claims Eighty new jobs as milk factory exports to Asia Jessica Biel congratulated on pregnancy Teen arrested over Luke Tipene stabbing Three US girls killed trick-or-treating School takes tough line on 'pillowcase' bullies Teenage boy killed by lightning strike Kiwis would pay dearly for Swedish style NZ Maori score commanding win over Japan Father speaks out about pack attack Kiwis edge brave Samoan side in Four Nations Do the Black Caps need Jesse Ryder to win the Cricket World Cup?
One thing that Colorado can bank on is its special teams play this season. The Buffaloes rank in the top four in punting and field goals in the Pac-12, and are one of the four teams remaining in the conference that hasn’t missed an extra point. Sophomore kicker Will Oliver has made four of five field goals this season, which actually ranks first percentage-wise in the conference. Alright, so it’s a cheap way to reach 80 percent, but half of the Pac-12 (including Oregon) has yet to kick more than nine field goals. Oliver was the only offense in their last game against USC, making both of his field goal attempts. His lone miss took place against Washington State in the team’s only victory this season. He did make all five extra points in the game, the most they’ve had all year long. Only the game against Sacramento State did Oliver have to make more than two extra points. Last week’s game against USC was the only time when he didn’t have to kick an extra point. Sophomore punter Darragh O’Neill has kicked 46 punts this season, nailing 17 of them inside the [[phy_address]] line and booted 10 of them for more than 50 yards. Both the returning game on punts and kickoffs hasn’t been as special. It doesn’t help when multiple freshman are out there handling the duties. The team averages just around 20.57 yards a return on kickoffs and just 5.50 yards a return on punts. Brian Spaen is the lead editor for Autzen Zoo.

In 1941, when the Nazi government denounced Emil Nolde’s Modernist style as “degenerate,” and forbade him to paint, he retreated to an isolated house near Seebüll, Germany. There, Nolde painted more than 1,300 water- colors, only rarely painting in oil for fear that the smell of the oil paints would give him away to the authorities. In his paintings, Nolde sought to express his mystical identification with nature, as here where three sunflowers struggle to survive a storm that sweeps heavy clouds in from the sea. Four sailboats are silhouetted against a sunset sky in the lower right-hand corner. The sunflowers may represent Nolde’s own struggle to endure oppression.

Rothbard assumes rights out Rothbard assumes rights out of thin air. He starts with a presupposition of an absolute right, then makes an intellectual argument based on what is a blind faith presupposition. The language is a bit suspect as well. We have a developing fetus, doing what is in its nature to do - and, in the overwhelming majority of cases, the mother's body doing what is in it's nature to do. The relationship is not equally symbiotic, to be sure. But to call the unborn a "parasitic invader" is to make the child a criminal worthy of death, apart from any malice or cognition of wrong doing. The language itself is over the top and labors too hard to make the point. It reminds me of the old story of the pastor's sermon. In the margins he wrote, "Point weak, shout louder here." If I find a deaf mute, retarded stranger lost in my home, I would not call him a parasitic invader, much less kill him for sticking around too long. And if I did, many of the same folks who want abortion on demand, would be demanding my head on a stick.
Last week United legends Andrew Cole and Lee Sharpe accompanied the Manchester United DHL Champ19ns Trophy Tour around the Middle East. The first stop was Dubai, which included a visit to a camel farm and the Dubai Duty Free tennis championship, where Cole and Sharpe met world number one Novak Djokovic. Supporters were also able to have their photo taken with the Barclays Premier League trophy at Burj Khalifa, the world’s highest observation deck with an outdoor terrace. The tour then moved on to Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Kuwait, where there were further photo opportunities for fans at city centre shopping malls. The official supporters’ club in Bahrain came out in force to greet the Reds, while the silverware also appeared at events for club partners VIVA and DHL in Kuwait.

Not sure on 3G, but since they have all new towers I'm guessing it's good.

3M Co. is planning to cut several hundred jobs over the next few months, the company confirmed Thursday. The cuts will begin in its industrial tapes and adhesives divisions. Workers in those businesses have already been informed by the company that it has plans for a reorganization. A 3M spokeswoman said the company plans to give those affected by cuts more information by the end of next week. The company is evaluating several its business units due to the slow economy. The Business Journal reported in February that the Maplewood-based manufacturer eliminated 141 jobs from its display and graphics unit. It laid off 63 workers in Maplewood and 78 from a facility in Cincinnati. 3M (NYSE: MMM) has 76,000 employees total, with 34,000 in the U.S. and 16,000 in Minnesota.

WHITBY -- Both Whitby and Oshawa's fire departments are in favour of allowing Clarington to join their shared dispatch agreement to help further reduce operating costs. Since 2003, Oshawa and Whitby fire services have shared a centralized dispatch system, operated by Oshawa. Prior to that, each ran their own dispatch. The goal of the agreement was to reduce operating costs for both municipalities with no service delivery charges to residents. Currently, Whitby pays Oshawa its proportionate share of the estimated operating costs for each contract year, as well as any taxes. The amendment would see Clarington following the same process, resulting in further reduction of operating costs for the three municipalities with no reduction in service. Local developer has no use for heritage building Town staff has been directed to work with a developer to ensure that a local heritage building is saved. Bruno Nazzicone from Senator Homes approached members of council at a meeting on Jan. 28 requesting that a historic building, located in a new subdivision near the lake, be removed. The building, referred to as the "Doctor's House," is the only remaining structure from the original Whitby Psychiatric Hospital. Mr. Nazzicone's original plans were to refurbish the site for re-adaptive uses but the venture has proven to be "uneconomical and impractical," he said in a letter to the Town. Councillors passed a motion to refer the item back to staff and ensure that a public engagement process is undertaken before any further actions are taken. Residents object to proposed development on Baldwin Street Dozens of residents of a Whitby neighbourhood attended Monday's council meeting to voice their concerns regarding a proposed development for the Baldwin Street corridor. Two developers have submitted applications to the Town for a development that includes 47 single detached lots at [[phy_address]] S. The properties are located south of a poultry processing operation and north of an existing residential subdivision. Residents of nearby Sleepy Hollow Place are worried about the increased traffic the proposed development will bring to the area, as well as safety issues. They want problems such as the existing traffic congestion and odour coming from the chicken farm to be addressed before any new development takes place.

Before I add more posts recalling and reviewing sessions I attended at the 2009 ASA annual meeting, I wanted to highlight the other equally valuable aspect of attending: Fellowship. Of course the weekend included scheduled times of fellowship, such as the Friday mixer after the opening plenary session and the Saturday Texas barbecue dinner and line dancing. After all, the meeting was at Baylor University in Waco. (Two years earlier in Edinburgh, Scotland the dance was a ceilidh. I wonder what sort of dance it will be next year in Washington D.C.) At any one of these activities, you might find yourself in a conversation circle, in a dancing line or at a dinner table with some contemporary hero of science like Jennifer Wiseman (on Wikipedia), chief astrophysicist of Exoplanets and Stellar Astrophysics at Goddard Space Flight Center. (On Friday night she and David Leckrone shared about the recent Shuttle mission to upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope.) I had already met up with Denis Lamoureux on Thursday night at the Dallas Airport, where we waited for the same flight into Waco. He introduced me to Bethany Sollereder and Leslie Wickman (LinkedIn), who were also on the flight. Walter Bradley and Bill Jordan met us at the airport and brought us over to Baylor. At the Friday workshop (“Teaching about Science and Christianity” – more on that in a subsequent post), I sat by Jennifer Billman from Messiah College, Heather Prior from King’s University, and Bernie Dehler. It was a pleasure to meet them and learn about their work and interests. Meal times in the cafeteria were great, and I don’t mean because of the food (I get much better at home and didn’t have much of an appetite for “industrial food” after having recently read The Omnivore’s Dilemma). It’s the fellowship and conversation that’s important. I can’t exactly remember all the people I shared a meal with, but it included (in no particular order) Anita and Paul Seely, Ralph Davis, Craig Rusbult, Sean Cordry, Steve Badger, Daniel Harlow, Margaret Towne and Bryan Isaac. On Saturday I had a “private” lunch-time meeting with Loren and Deb Haarsma (Calvin College), author’s of the wonderful book Origins, to discuss my ideas and plans for the ASA homeschool resources website. In fact, I connected with several people about the homeschool resources project. I had a conversation with Bob Fay and soon learned that he is a chemist at Cornell University as well as the author of a popular college Chemistry textbook! I was glad to meet Dennis Venema (LinkedIn) from Trinity Western University, who I had interacted with a little on the ASA email discussion list. He gave a nice talk on the genetics of human origins. Despite the fact that evolution is always a hot topic at ASA meetings, there doesn’t seem to be very many biologists in the group who know their evolutionary genetics (David Campbell is the other). If I had stayed in academia, I would have liked to contribute talks of this sort. So, what’s this got to do with volleyball and astronauts? Well, it turns out that Leslie Wickman from Azusa Pacific University and Dominic Halsmer from Oral Roberts University, both serious athletes, were itching to play some beach volleyball on the court in the commons area. They were struggling to find two other able-bodied players among the 200 academics at the meeting. Somehow, they thought I might qualify and asked me. So, on Sunday evening we skipped one session to play some frisbee (I held my own there) and volleyball. I was teamed up with Leslie against Bernie Dehler and Dominic. It was a very even match, with Bernie and I barely filling our places alongside our professional partners. I was exhausted, but I really enjoyed learning a little bit about the strategy and techniques required for two-on-two play. In case you don’t follow the links to their bios, let me tell you that Dominic is really a ranking athlete, and Leslie is a former astronaut, professional football player and beach volleyball player! Thanks to everyone at the conference for the privilege of meeting and getting to know you better. I hope to see you again soon.

Specifications Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the largest amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly write to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the maximum fill rate.

GOLFERS clubbed together to raise more £12,000 for Dogs for the Disabled. Redditch Golf Club’s captains Phil Guise and Ange Taylor held two charity golf days to raise funds for the cause, which creates partnerships between people living with disability and specially-trained assistance dogs. The first golf competition raised £5,700 and included many of the club’s private and corporate members, while the ladies’ day teed off with Mrs Taylor, Jenny Dalloway and Carol Loveitt, adding another £2,000 to the pot of money already raised. Mr Guise said: “Those who took part or came along to support the charity day were able to meet Sandie, our first Labrador puppy in training. “Sandie is a beautiful reminder of why we chose Dogs for the Disabled as our 2014 charity and why training these life-changing dogs is so important.” Mrs Taylor added: “The charity monies keep rolling in and following on from our auction at the summer ball and other various donations received and fund-raising events we are pleased to have raised more than £12,000 for Dogs for the Disabled so far this year. “But we are not finished yet and we would urge both members and non-members to help us raise as much money for this very valuable charity as possible.” 1 Calls for swimming lesson cost reduction after teen's death 2 Damaged powerlines leaves passengers stranded 3 A&E waiting times available online 4 Social club break-ins could be linked 5 Attempt to force finance chief out TOP tips from some of the country’s leading VISITORS turned out en-masse to mark the 25th A MIRACLE baby has been named after Redditch’s DINERS at an Oakenshaw pub will soon be A MAN, arrested on the railway line near Bromsgrove Station, ...

Biography: Melanie was born on May 16, 1977 in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Melanie was a good student and an avid reader. She knew she wanted to act early in her life and took parts in alot of school plays before screenwriter Fran Walsh, the partner of the director Peter Jackson, he discovered her sometime in 1993 desperately looking for the right person to play the role of Pauline Parker in the movie Heavenly Creatures. The two thought Melanie would be perfect for the role, and her performance surely proved them right. Heavenly Creatures opened in New Zealand in October 1994 following fantastic reviews, and shortly after around the world, where the film was just as well received and nominated for an Academy Award for best screenplay. Melanie then continued her education at The Victoria University in Wellington. Other than a short cameo appearance in peter Jackson's The Frighteners in 1996, she didn't work on any movie projects until she got an offer from writer/director Mark Tapio Kines (who found her through the internet) to play one of the lead roles in his feature film debut Foreign Correspondents. While making Foreign Correspondents in summer of 1997, she got the role of Drew Barrymore's "nice" stepsister in the 1998 re-telling of Cinderella, Ever After which was shot in France. Next she was in The Cherry Orchard, a version of Anton Chekhov's play by the same name which was done in June 1996.
N. Idaho man dies in collision with coal trainJuly 14, 2013 @ 12:38 pm TWIN LAKES, Idaho (AP) - Authorities in northern Idaho say a 53-year-old Post Falls died after his vehicle collided with a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train. The Kootenai County Sheriff's office says Albert P. Brunner's 1993 Mitsubishi 3000 GT hit the side of the train where the tracks cross Ramsey Road near the town Twin Lakes.

But after being selected in the fourth round by the Baltimore Orioles, Connaughton will be allowed to play for Notre Dame this season and finish his season, according to a report from Tom Coyne of the Associated Press. Connaughton will be allowed to sign a contract for a few weeks that allows him to be back in South Bend on July 30th so he can have a week with the basketball team to prepare for the team’s trip to Italy.

What to do with too many cans of refried beans? Besides a layered dip, anyone have anything great to do with cans of refried beans? Not sure why I bought a case but would like to do something with them. Can it be a start of a great soup, maybe?? - - Did you open them all at once?? If not, relax....you have several years ro enjoy them can by can. - I find Mexican lasagna to be a delicious option. Instead of noodles, layer corn tortillas in a baking dish. Top with beans, cheese, meat of your choice, onions, jalapenos, enchilada sauce, etc. I usually make about three layers. Top the whole thing with more sauce and cheese and bake until bubbly. - - Make a mexican pizza! On prebaked pizza dough (you can buy or make yourself): layer hot refried beans (it's faster this way), cheddar cheese, and chopped red onions, put in the oven until cheese melts. Take out of oven and layer with chopped lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, or whatever you like on tacos, and serve with a side of salsa/sour cream ,etc. This was a staple when I was a kid and in college, and I still enjoy it immensely today. Also, bean enchiladas, bean tacos.... - re: jazzy77 I have occasionally made what I call a United Nations Pizza: naan, lavash, soft tortilla, or other flatbread spread with mustard and ketchup, then refried beans, and sprinkled with canned french-fried onions, mozzarella, and thinly-sliced kielbasa before baking long enough for the cheese to melt and sausage sizzle. Came up with it when I had unexpected guests and needed to make a meal with whatever was on hand. It was well-received - something for everyone! - - I don't usually make recipes with this many canned/frozen ingredients, but this mexican shrimp casserole is super-easy and I always get HUGE compliments when I make it: - I like to use refried baens in quesadillas - just add cheese and vegetables or chopped/shredded meat. Easy and nutritious. - - Why not use refreid beans as refried beans? They don't have to go into a dip or anything. Warm them up and use them like you would a thick gravy. For example, in a meal of ropa vieja, arroz blanco and whatever vegetable grab you. I love them at breakfast as in scramble eggs with chorizo, potatoes fried with onions and mild chilis and topped with Mexican cheese, and hot beans in a side dish. Asfor your soup idea, I suppose you could use them as a basis for a bean soup or to thicken a vegetable soup. In fact, I'd probably saute some onions, add corn, some chicken broth, and a can of refried beans. But while spoil a good thing? They are so good simply as beans. - Stuff peppers with refried beans and rice, top with cheese. this is a slimming world freebie.
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh unveiled details of the first floor architectural design plan for the Main Library to Pittsburgh City Council. The design, by Friendship-based architects EDGE Studio, make the building more accessible, comfortable and current for customers. Library director Herb Elish said the renovations are one element of "an overall reorganization of the Main Library which has the dual objective of making the library easier to use and a more enjoyable place to be." The Main Library is one of five Carnegie Library facilities slated for renovations in 2003 and 2004. Funding for the $2.8 million construction budget for the first floor renovation project come from the proceeds of a bond issue supported by the Allegheny Regional Asset District. Work is expected to begin this summer and will take up to 12 months. The Main Library will remain open for business during the construction.

Systemd 206 brings documentation to cover the many new features of systemd 205 , but it also includes: - Various systemctl improvements. - Various journalctl improvements. - The systemd-cryptsetup command now supports TrueCrypt volumes. - A simplified initrd interface. - Test coverage support can now be enabled at build time. - Various other changes. The systemd 206 release isn't as great as systemd 205 in terms of new code, but overall there's a lot in store for those dependent on systemd. More details can be found from the release announcement .

Just three days ago, there were about 500 words dedicated to the team defense for the Atlanta Hawks, and how they had the impressive feat of being the only team in the NBA to hold each and every opponent under 50% shooting… then Monday night against the Miami Heat happened. In the 101-92 loss in Miami, the Heat shot 58% from the field on the night, shattering the previous high of 48.6% which, not so coincidentally, was against Miami in their previous meeting on November 9th. After a season full of effective field goal defense, my first reaction was to write this performance off as a fluke, but when taking a look at the more advanced/detailed numbers, a few things jump off of the page. First, Miami was only able to take 17 shots at the rim, but they also converted [[phy_address]] 94% clip. This isn’t a drastic number of shots to allow at the rim, but the troubling story is the lack of contesting and/or shot-altering from the Hawks’ front-line on this night. Secondly, Miami was able to convert 10 of 19 shots from 10-23 feet on the night. This is, statistically, the worst section of the floor to shoot from and teams routinely shoot in the 30-40% range from this distance, so a 52.6% showing here really undid the Hawks team defense. Last but not least, Miami converted 9 of their 21 three-point attempts on the night for a 42.8% output and an effective field goal percentage of 64.3% on those shots. This is also unacceptable, but because 42% isn’t out of the normal range for a team with shooters like Miami, it wasn’t the biggest culprit. There are a lot of statistics in the previous paragraph, but they are all leading to this. Effective field goal percentage is a statistical measure that weighs 3-pointers differently than 2-pointers when calculating overall field goal percentage. This makes complete sense because 3-point attempts are worth 50% more than normal field goals, so the eFG% represents a much more accurate feel of a team’s overall offensive efficiency with regard to shooting. That said, the highest eFG% that Atlanta had allowed this season (before Monday night) was 54.1% against Cleveland on November 30th. On Monday night, Miami’s effective field goal percentage was 64.9%. That’s not a misprint, and the fact that Atlanta only lost the game by [[phy_address]] is a testament to their own ability to score points due to an uptick in offensive rebounding and a quality free throw shooting night at 19-20. After all of that, I do want to say this. Miami is probably the best offensive team in all of the NBA. They are currently 3rd in the league in offensive efficiency, but at this point, we can assume the defending champs present a unique challenge to opposing defenses that no one else can match on a nightly basis. Dwyane Wade and Lebron James combined to shoot 21-29 from the field including 2-3 on threes, and that in itself (based on volume) accounts for a significant amount of the overall damage. I didn’t think that Atlanta’s team defense was woeful by any stretch last night, but it does remind us that this team wasn’t supposed to be a defensive juggernaut, and that any lapse in concentration and/or effort can lead to disastrous results, even against lesser teams than Miami. This game is simply one of 82, and because it occurred on December 10th, it will soon be forgotten, but the hope remains that these defensive numbers were simply an aberration.
The Westport River Gallery will celebrate its 10th anniversary on Saturday, April 26 with an “Impressionist Live ArtTrek” involving beret-wearing college students walking Westport’s Main Street with original European impressionist paintings. Amy King: “Art can come to you.” Contributed photo The event, which the gallery hopes will become an annual occurrence, will last for about 45 minutes, said Amy King, program coordinator. “Why go to a museum or art gallery when it can come to you?” said King in an announcement. Ken Warren, owner/curator of the gallery at 1 Riverside Ave., added,“This reflects the feeling by many artists worldwide that their art should be enjoyed everywhere, not just on a wall.

( release) Erie County Executive Chris Collins announced his campaign for reelection at a rally this morning at Volland Electric in Cheektowaga. Collins is part owner of the company that employs approximately 100 people. Flanked by family members and supporters, Collins asked voters for their support this November as he stands on a strong record of reform and sound management of county finances. Through efforts like Lean Six Sigma, Collins has made county government more efficient. He has reduced the ranks of taxpayer funded county employees, while improving the delivery of services. Under the Collins administration, Erie County is holding the line on taxes, paying down debt and keeping spending growth at practically zero. “We have accomplished so much over the last several years,” said Erie County Chris Collins. “But our work, and most importantly, our fight to make Erie County a better place is far from over.” In announcing his campaign, Collins said, “Today, taxpayers have a county government that has prioritized its spending, is paying cash for capital projects and has rebuilt our parks, re-opened our beaches, renovated our convention center, and ended inconvenient detours by re-opening all 600 bridges and major culverts in Erie County for the first time in nearly a decade.” Collins cited his success in getting Erie County out of the hospital business, by reaching an historic financial settlement with Erie County Medical Center Corporation. He also noted that Erie County is no longer operating under a hard Control Board and terminated ill-conceived inter-municipal agreements that left county taxpayers on the hook for millions of dollars a year. The County Executive also touched on the County’s realistic economic development strategy that is proving successful in helping local small businesses create jobs in our community. With a dedication to long-term decision making, Collins says his administration is honoring today’s commitments today, using recurring revenue to pay for recurring expenses, and respecting our future generations.
Boston College football’s Jay McGillis Memorial Spring Game is always a fun time to get out of the house during the spring months and see a scrimmage. Today, the Soaring to Glory team pulled double-duty, moving over to Shea Field to call the baseball game. Still, we all saw a good half of the festivities at Alumni Stadium. (Spending most of your day at Boston College is far from the worst thing in the world.) Bullet-point format seems the most ideal to evaluate the spring game: - I liked Tyler Murphy’s overall game. (I say that as though the spring game actually matters; it doesn’t, but indulge me.) This was my first time seeing him, and he appears to have some poise and good moves with his feet. Murphy isn’t afraid to dance around and take the ball himself, and he’s got the speed to execute. It wasn’t a perfect 10/10 but based on a very narrow evaluation, at least a solid 8. His decision-making was good overall and he’s clearly got some talent. I would be happy with him as the starter. - Darius Wade looks alright to me, but compared to Murphy he’s not necessarily ready yet. This only confirmed in my mind why landing Murphy was such a dynamic-changer for the Eagles, in that he can take the reins this year and Wade can redshirt and grow for 2015. I expect great things from him down the road. - The offensive line looks good and that’s a very good sign. I have maintained throughout that if the offensive line holds it together, we’re going to be fine next season. - Myles Willis is terrific. He took the opening kick to the house and broke off several good runs. Willis is a different kind of back than Andre Williams but I look forward to him being the lead guy. Nevertheless, it certainly looks like we’re going to be stacked talent-wise here going forward (Willis, Outlow, Hilliman, et al.). - At wide receiver…not so much. “To whom will Murphy throw the ball?” is something we’ll be asking until August 30. However, I thought Charlie Callinan did a good job today. - Josh Keyes had a good spring game and Sean Duggan put a huge hit on one of his own teammates (save some for the Fall, guys). - I was totally bummed out when I saw Harold Landry in sweats. Really wanted to see him play. - I thoroughly appreciate how intense Don Brown was during the game. He was coaching the kids up like crazy. You have to respect that these guys are making the most of every play of the spring. - Speaking of coaches, Addazio watched the plays from the middle of the field to evaluate. Everybody was very much into it and I like the hard-working mentality. Addazio also crossed the field to personally compliment the national anthem singer, which I thought was a very nice thing for him to do. My read is that this Boston College team, even given that there are a few holes in the roster, is not going to suffer a major drop-off despite the turnover in several key areas. Considering that the schedule is very manageable and there are some competent playmakers present, there might not be much of a drop-off at all. Of course, there is still a long way to go before training camp even opens, but Boston College football fans have a few things about which to feel good today.

The timing was a coincidence but the significance of two recent developments at Journal Communications Inc. spoke volumes about the opposite directions of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the Journal Broadcast Group. Last week, I reported that the Journal Sentinel had launched its latest round of buyouts aimed at cutting costs through staff reductions. The newspaper did not disclose the number of positions it plans to cut but this round follows a buyout offer this March and April that netted 19 takers. This week, coming off the Labor Day holiday, Journal Broadcast Group announced what was likely the company’s largest acquisition ever and its first move into a larger media market (the company previously owned radio stations in Kansas City, which is about the same size broadcast market as Milwaukee). Journal is paying $215 million for CBS affiliate WTVF-TV (Channel 5) in Nashville, Tenn. The trend line for Journal Broadcast Group has been up since before Journal Communications’ 2003 initial public stock offering. Likewise, the Journal Sentinel has been sustaining circulation declines for years. Since 2003, the year of the IPO, through 2011, the Journal Sentinel’s Sunday circulation has declined 25 percent and its weekday circulation has declined 22.6 percent. Revenue is down 33.8 percent. Operating earnings declined about 50 percent. The broadcast group, meanwhile, has surpassed Journal Sentinel in revenue with an increase of 24 percent since 2003, and in operating earnings. Journal Communications president and chief financial officer Andre Fernandez said in a press release Tuesday that the TV acquisition “is consistent with our strategy of increasing (Journal) Broadcast’s overall contribution to Journal’s earnings and cash flow.” Chairman and CEO Steve Smith said the Nashville station “will be a cornerstone asset within Journal Communications.” Senior Reporter Rich Kirchen covers health care, sports business, politics and media/advertising for the Milwaukee Business Journal.

In the 1817 book "A Full and Correct Account of the Chief Naval Occurrences of the Late War," author William James told of the battle between the British warship "Epervier" and the American warship the "Peacock" in the War of 1812. "I hated my work. Because when I die I will leave all I have done to a complete stranger who might be competent or a complete idiot. I will have spent a lifetime on work which will be given away. What a waste!" (My translation of Ecclesiastes 2:18-19). A few weeks ago, I was genuinely saddened when the Flowers Discount Bakery store on North Zetterower Avenue in Statesboro closed. It was my "go to" place for all kinds of bakery products when I was feeding a large crowd. Part two of history of the Confederate Navy. "Wait until next year." Part One of history of the Confederate Navy. The blinds cut the winter sunshine into thick slices and they fall across my shoulder in long broad stripes. The movement of the rocking chair, forward and back, turns them into waves - reaching out and pulling back, a tide of light. Jackson is tilted in the crook of my arm, the rays making a halo of the soft fuzz on the top of his head. Since the late 1960's the coyote population in Georgia has exploded. Around 1970 there had only been confirmed coyote sightings or kills in 23 Georgia counties. Today, all of the state's 159 counties are home to this wily veteran of the woods. Coyotes have migrated steadily eastward from the western and mid-western states and have found our part of the country to their liking. Coyotes can and will eat a wide variety of foods but relish rodents and rabbits which are plentiful in Georgia. Because they can survive on just about anything from road kill to persimmons and ... It's hard to admit when you haven't been successful at something, but I will admit that I have not been successful in getting a timely story to you regarding the purchaser of Cleve White Nissan in Statesboro. Last Saturday, Julie and I were hoping that the GSU road playoff game would be televised. Unfortunately, that was not the case, but it would be broadcast on radio. It's not the same as being there, but close enough for avid fans. On June 27, 1775, Georgia's Royal Governor, Sir James Wright, sent a letter to Admiral Sir Thomas Graves, commander of British naval forces in North America, pleading for a sloop-of-war with which he could both defend the approaches to the Savannah River and protect the colony's shipping. I heard about Your Pie several months ago from my brother Thornton who lives in Athens. Before the turkey leftovers were completely devoured, December splashed on the page with twinkling lights, Santa inflatables, cedar wreaths, and holiday rhythms. Whether you've completed your holiday shopping or not even started - Christmas will arrive in less than three weeks. Take time during December to make treasured memories or start new traditions. Go caroling with friends, make hot chocolate or S'mores, watch seasonal movies, bake yummy goodies to share, decorate gingerbread houses, go for a walk in the woods on a cold day, put together a Christmas puzzle, or wear new pajamas and eat homemade biscuits and chocolate ... Second of two parts. The laid-out field on the other side of the pond dam is unrolled like a bolt of ecru lace, knotted and tied into a landscape of bumps and nubs. That which was left to sprout and grow on its own over the spring and summer has died, stems and leaves that once stretched toward the sky now bent into creamy curves back toward the earth. The whole world is the color of toast. As a surgical oncologist focused on treating breast cancer, I see daily how devastating a breast cancer diagnosis can be. But I also see daily how new and often cutting-edge treatments give women the hope and courage they need to help manage or overcome the physical, mental and emotional challenges of breast cancer, and in many cases, beat the disease altogether. A first-grade teacher asks what she can do about a girl in her class who is completely undisciplined. After nearly two months of this teacher's best efforts, the child's behavior is no better. She is defiant and aggressive toward other kids, and often gets out of her seat and crawls around on the floor. Several years ago she taught the girl's older sister, who also had numerous discipline issues. The home is chaotic, so the teacher doubts she can expect much - if any - help from the parents. On my ride to work on the first day of October, I turned on the defrost in my car for the first time this year. When I got to work, I turned off my air conditioning, relishing in the cool, rainy temperatures outside. This season, I've already enjoyed a few weekend brunches on my screened-in back porch, easy like a Sunday morning. I'm always sad to see summer go, but the food of fall and the excitement of the holidays quickly propel me forward. Our nation needs to get its fiscal house in order, and to do so citizens must fully demand leaders who are willing to put partisan differences aside and come together to present the American people with honest solutions and consensus proposals that put the national interest ahead of special interests. That is why we were so disheartened to learn that John Barrow is being criticized for his support of a budget based on the plan recommended in 2010 by a bipartisan majority of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform which we co-chaired (Simpson-Bowles Commission). Tens of thousands of Georgians live with lifelong disabilities caused by brain and spinal cord injury. As medical technology, safety and trauma care have improved more people survive traumatic injury, but many then face a lifetime of physical, behavioral and cognitive impairments requiring ongoing support services. On any given day in communities all across Georgia, survivors of brain and spinal cord injury and their caregivers gather together in support groups to share the struggles they face living with these lifelong impairments. Astoundingly, there are over 75,800 newly injured Georgians each year, and close to 50 percent of those injuries ... I love reading college textbooks. Well, that is an exaggeration, as math has few stories about killin' and drinkin' and pillagin', which are very good subjects for an active mind like mine. Anyway, I always ask my teaching friends if they happen to have some old used books that could be tossed my way. The fact is that most old textbooks are quite accurate. However, they do lack colorful pictures to break up the monotony of long and sometimes boring paragraphs. I have always wondered why many of my students ask if they could take my picture to have for ... (Note: The following is part of a series of articles looking at the history and evolution of agriculture in Georgia and Bulloch County.) Q: My 7-year-old son does well in school and sports and has a good number of friends. However, he often allows himself to be intimidated by other boys. He is a rule-follower and is more worried about getting in trouble than defending himself. I worry that other boys will see him as easy to pick on. Occasionally, he complains about how other boys treat him. What words can I use with him to explain how to be confident in himself and his athletic abilities, and not allow himself to be intimidated by other boys? Eclipses are slow. Which means there is plenty of time to notice the dew on my feet and the armadillo hole I may or may not be standing in, to hear a strange choral performance by the frogs in the branch that sounds like a rustling of the feathers of a giant flock of geese, to get just a little impatient and start staring at the stars instead, making up my own constellations. I've spoken at several conferences in the last year or so where presenters were opining on the subject of the teenage brain. Their thesis was that features of the so-called "teenage brain" are largely responsible for the self-centered, irrational, moody, rebellious behavior now associated with adolescence. The weather in the 'Boro seems bent on keeping us guessing. Is it a raincoat day? Sweater day? Or shorts-and-sunglasses day? But the gentle tease of recent cool weather lets us know fall truly is coming, eventually, maybe in December. Enjoy all that fall offers, regardless of the thermometer, and make this an incredibly awesome autumn with your family. Celebrate the usual - fair week, Columbus Day, football games, church fall festivals and trick-or-treat night - and add a few of the zany but real holidays below to the family calendar for October. It's been more than a week since the Statesboro City Council voted unanimously to accept a settlement agreement that closed Rudy Rudy's for good and required owner Johnathan Starkey to never again apply for a liquor license in the city. (Note: The following is the first of a series of articles looking at the history and evolution of agriculture in Georgia and Bulloch County.) A second-grade teacher writes: "I teach in a very competitive school where parents have developed a 'mob mentality' for bullying administrators and teachers. They have gone beyond helicopter parenting to Apache Blackhawk parenting."
