Thank you to everyone who came out to the WTJU Town Hall meeting this past Monday. I was afraid that we would have an empty room with 20 people scattered about, but instead approximately 250 volunteers and listeners crammed the hall and flowed out into the lobby. Such a public show of support impressed the decision makers, I think. And at the very least it made me feel very grateful and humble.
I'm grateful that there are folks who care as deeply about the music we play as our volunteer announcers. Grateful that so many would show up on a miserable, rainy evening to show their support. Radio listening is a very passive activity -- we're grateful you share our passion.
I'm humbled by the thought that so many care. As you can imagine, doing "Gamut" every week for the past 19 years has led to a little bit of complacency. There have been times when I've not been at the top of my game, when I didn't choose the music as carefully as I could have. I've sometimes forgotten what a privilege it's been to serve this audience without the constraints my colleagues at other classical-format station face.
But this station isn't about me -- it's about you, the listener. All those who showed up to the Town Hall meeting demonstrated how strong their connection to the music we present is. And because of their action, I promise to redouble my effort to make every minute of "Gamut" worthy of your attention.
The station will still be changing soon, and listener input will play a role in the direction of that change. Those who showed up at the meeting did more than their part -- but even if you couldnattend, you can still make your voice heard.
Visit virginia.edu/wtjuforum or call 434-971-8678 to leave your comments on how you think WTJU can improve to meet its newest challenges.
In the meantime, we'll just keep doing what we do best -- providing you with the best classical, jazz, rock, folk, and world music we can find. Music that's we hope you'll continue love as much as we do.

From the Toronto Sun today:
Animals are biggest losers in Humane Society dispute: Worthington
By Peter Worthington
After months of turmoil, arrests for alleged cruelty, accusations hurled back and forth, the Toronto Humane Society is back in control ... of the Toronto Humane Society.
The OSPCA "raided" and took over the THS some six months ago, removing its president, head veterinarian and others in handcuffs, charging them with cruelty.
As hearings were to go before the Ontario Superior Court to have the THS board of directors thrown out, a deal was cut with the OSPCA for the board to resign.
Instead, the THS will take over control of their animal shelter and shut it down for two months, cleaning up the joint, re-training staff, and electing a new board of directors whom Justice David Brown urged to show "vigilance and diligence" to ensure things don't get out of control.
So what's the net result of the crisis that shocked the local animal world?
Eleven hundred animals housed in the shelter at the time of the celebrated OSPCA raid — well-attended by media who'd been forewarned — have been reduced to around 200. Most of these will be disposed of before the THS re-opens.
So what has happened to the other 900 animals?
The OSPCA says some were adopted, some went into foster care, some to the OSPCA, some to Toronto Animal Services (TAS). The sick or injured were euthanized.
Put bluntly, it seems a safe bet that most of the animals were put down — killed, because that's what the OSPCA and TAS does best. Gone, forever, is the THS' reluctance to kill. Its celebrated 7% kill rate under President Tim Trow is no more. It's likely to rise to the 50% rate of other shelters.
Go ask the TAS what cats and dogs they have for adoption. They'll likely tell you none are available at the moment and that they euthanize on Fridays — which is fair enough, since the TAS is more a pound than an animal care centre.
At the time it was raided, THS policy was not to kill healthy animals even those that couldn't be adopted. Volunteers walked dogs daily, and there was a foster care program for others. Adoption more or less hinged on what the person could pay.
In this sense it was more "humane" that many humane societies.
Even on Monday, THS spokesman Ian McConachie assured the public that animals are not being destroyed. "We are not abandoning the animals in our care and simply putting them down."
No question, the THS erred on the side of not killing — even for animals it would be humane to euthanize. Directors may have been negligent, inattentive or wrong, but proving "cruelty" may be difficult.
In short, if the THS couldn't get a dog or cat adopted, no one could. Torontonians who pay attention to animals, know this.
Which is why I'm uneasy about the Association to Reform the Toronto Humane Society (ART), which wants the current board members banned from running for election again.
Not very "democratic." There's a vigilante or vindictive quality to ART.
A new board may well include people like acting President Bob Hambley, who for decades has served on THS boards, and seems ideal for bridging the gap.
Some 3,000 THS members should know the personalities of those they elect, just as they know most of the animals the OSPCA rescued form THS "cruelty" have likely since been dispatched to the Great Kennel in the Sky. Some rescue!

I am a self taught crocheter. I learnt via YouTube and taking books out from the library. I was very aware in the beginning that British and American terminology was very different, in that we use the same wording for different stitches, very confusing.
I can remember thinking more in terms of British terminology in the beginning, so just thought that i would always use f British as my go to language. My entire previous patterns were in British terminology. But last week I wrote a pattern of a bag and posted it to publish in Sarita. It has now only just occurred to me that I used American terminology. I think this turn around in my thinking has occurred because I have read and used quite a few vintage American pattern in the last year, e.g. the
flowers-with-crochet and the tiny-doily.
flowers-with-crochet and the tiny-doily.
So now I have to decide what to do. Do i keep using American terminology or revert back to British?
In favour of British is the fact that i read and the library owned British books, and any books or old patterns that I come across will nearly always be written in British.
Then there is the third and the Best which is the internet, which I do love.

Right now everything is amazing to Adam. He finds ways to throw the word amazing into just about every sentence.
"Mom, I ate all my carrots. Isn't that amazing?"
"Zoey, it's snowing outside! Isn't that amazing?"
"Wow! Look how big the moon is! It's amazing!"
"I built a tall tower of blocks. Do you think it's amazing?"
Yes Adam, it's amazing. And so are you!
Life with kids is ALWAYS an adventure. And I have 3 who are only 3 years apart. (yes, we're crazy.) This is my place to capture the craziness in all it's glory, because childhood only happens once. (thank goodness!)
When you get tired of reading about my kids visit my other blog all about ME!

Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt has outlined her government's EU presidency priorities to the European Parliament.
Denmark not 'daunted' by debt crisis, says Danish PM
Denmark not 'daunted' by debt crisis, says Danish PM
Addressing MEPs in Strasbourg she admitted the next six months would be a challenge, but insisted Denmark would not be daunted.
"Budget discipline, growth and jobs, green policies and ensuring the safety to our citizens and the voice of Europe in the world – these are our priorities. In the middle of an economic crisis, I don't expect the Danish presidency to be easy, but I can assure you that the presidency will not be daunted either. We are not built like that."
Though it does not use the euro, Denmark has made the bloc's debt crisis a key issue during its presidency. That includes drafting a new 'fiscal compact' which aims to impose stricter budget rules in the eurozone.

I am slowly stitching French knots with not much to show for my effort. However it has been a lovely time for thinking. These days I keep finding things to do that let my mind wander where it will - just one reason why I don't mind ironing. I definitely have no desire to take in ironing but the amount I have to do for two people who are retired is not enormous - despite the fact I am a fibre snob and won't wear anything that is not 100% natural fibre content and that usually means cotton for our climate. When I had 4 children at home, and before I decided they were old enough to do their own, I always seemed to have a basket full that needed ironing.
Yesterday I thought about weaving and how most things that I have produced have been "slow cloth" - not quite as slow as covering four square inches in knots - but nonetheless quite slow. I found a photograph of some coffee cosies that I wove in 2006.
As well as day dreaming I seem to spend hours playing Sudoku (isn't everyone addicted?)- then when I got totally hooked, can you believe they came up with Killer Sudoku and Kakuro? My excuse is that it is keeping my brain sharp (well, that is the story - sometimes I am not so sure that it happens as it should!) . However I do enjoy the exercise very much.
Returning to the coffee cosies - they are in double weave with cross stitch numbers different on both sides of the cosy (yes, the sudoku is solvable) . I embroidered the numbers before stuffing the small squares on the loom. Although the yarn was 10/2 cotton and twice as thick as I usually use it took quite some time to make these. I enjoyed the process. To cover the seams and hem I needed a lining and I didn't want a commercial fabric. The tray mat in this photo is the fabric I used - a summer and winter weave in 2/20 cotton that wove up fairly quickly once I had designed the draft. If you enlarge the photo the lettering is quite visible. It is all fairly simple weaving actually but lots of fun. Cosies made like this are extremely good insulators and will keep a pot warm for up to an hour or more.

I'm not on Facebook. Here are my random thoughts. Also, I live in a sweet, old house that was built in 1952.

Kenji's New Name
Kenji loves going outside when the weather is nice. She's only allowed out in the fenced backyard with parental supervision. She has to wear her collar with her city tag on it, just in case she sneaks out of the yard somehow. Her "necklace" and "pendant" match her blue Siamese eyes. Kenji wondered what her pendant said and I told her it said that she had her rabies vaccination and that it had a special number on it to help her get back home in case she gets lost. All this domesticity is a far-cry from Kenji's beginnings as a little streetwise kitten.
Kenji wants to keep it real. She's decided that her new name is Rabies, because it sounds tough. And it already says Rabies on her pendant.
1 comment:
She's right. Rabies has more street cred.

A little bit about the life and times of a single mom of 4 living in a 90 yr old farmhouse

Kids and other things
He has been bugging me to take him out to spend his birthday money, so today we went. He had his 6yr check up today, so after the doctor (an him having to get an immunization) we went to Target. I let him pick whatever he wated to get with his $25 from his great-grandma. So, he picked a Nintendo DS game. Something he could call his own. Now, I am the type of mother who makes the kids help themselves to help teach them manners and approp store behavior. With that being said, since this was his purchase, and the games are behind locked doors, he had to ask the store employee polietly that he needed help as he wanted to buy a game. It was so cute, as he goes up to the Target employee and says, "Excuse me, could you please help me? I would like to buy a DS game. Could you please unlock the doors so that I may buy it?" How precious is that? A 6 yr old? Of course he thanked the employee for helping him. I tell you, it is never too young to teach good manners.
My oldest is having a real rough time right now. He is really missing his grandpa. With the death of Zac, it just brought up a new flood of emotions. Can I tell you how lucky I am to be able to send my kids to private school? A school that has full time counslers, how great is that? I'm not talking about guidence counslers, but full time christian Liscensed counslers that do clinical psychology. It has been a real blessing. Not to mention, a staff that truely cares about all aspects of a child (physical, emotional, and spiritual). The great part is that there are good male influences at the school too, something that is very important for me, being a single mom. Sometimes a 10yr old boy just doesn't want to talk to a "girl", even if it is mom.
Well, I've decided to contract out the last little part of the bathroom. I just need it done before I have my ankle surgery in a couple of weeks, and just don't have the time right now. So, by Thursday next week, it will all be done, except for the painting (I refuse to pay someone to paint, especially when you are talking only 300 sq feet total-including the ceiling). I can't wait.
Well, enough rambling for now.

How sweet kids can be.. :)ReplyDelete
There's nothing that blesses me more when someone tells me that my kids are very respectful! Your son sounds so sweet!!! My kids love getting gift cards!!ReplyDelete
And what a blessing about the school! You're right..boys are more comfortable talking to a male. Thank goodness your son has a godly man to speak to!
That is so great about your son. I remind mine sometimes to say thank you...But then there are some days they blow me away with how polite they really are. Good job to you!ReplyDelete
Hope the contracting goes well for the bathroom.
That is awesome about being able to send them to a private school too. That's where ours may be headed for middle school.
I wish all schools could have actual psychologists/social workers on staff.ReplyDelete
I know you'll be glad to get that bathroom done.
Ah that's my grandson!ReplyDelete

As the school year began, I shared with you the important role I believe we each play in meeting the needs of all learners through an equitable and relevant education. Truly appreciating the needs of each learner, however, is predicated upon knowing each student individually. In fact, numerous studies have shown there are two main reasons learners become disengaged at school—a lack of connection between lessons in the classroom and what students observe beyond the walls of the school, and students feeling that no adult truly knows and/or cares about them. Not surprisingly, students who drop out of school prior to earning a diploma cite these very reasons, above all others.
So, what exactly is important to know about each student? There is no magic answer to this question since each student is unique. However, I've listed a few ideas below for consideration, adopted in part from a list provided by Rick Wormeli in a recent issue of Educational Leadership (September 2016):
- Personal Interests (sports, music, television, movies, books, hobbies, etc.)
- Family dynamics
- Transience rate
- Home responsibilities
- After school work schedule
- Previous school experiences
- English Language Learner status
- Health concerns
- Socio-emotional learning strengths and challenges
- Vision or hearing problems
- Gifted/advanced learner (keeping in mind giftedness can manifest itself in a number of ways)
- Leadership qualities
- Multiple intelligences
- Personality profile
- Recent life changes or personal struggles
- Accomplishments in or outside of school of which they are proud
Again, these are just a few ideas to get a better glimpse of each child. This list could be expanded in a variety of ways. The point is that each student is a unique individual with unique needs and talents. When a person feels both understood and appreciated, the chances of success are greatly multiplied. Or, as Rick Wormeli writes: Yes, student, you exist. I accept all that you are, and I value time in your company. You will commit to being the best version of your maturing self, just as I will commit to being the best version of my maturing self for you. We'll achieve our goals together. Now, I see that your name is "Ellie." Is it short for something? Tell me more. You are a person worth knowing (Educational Leadership: Vol 74, 1; p.15).
We have over 18,000 students worth knowing. Thank you for your daily commitment to our students and getting to know them in an authentic way. They won't forget it.

So these are what are being called "The Princess Socks."
This was the first time I used any of the Zen Garden yarns - I was intrigued by their OOAK (One Of A Kind) dye jobs, where you can find randomly colored skeins of yarn for sale. If you happen to like the colors in a dye job, and need more than one skein of it, buy it all up right away because they don't duplicate these colorways!
I got the color "OOAK MY.BA-FL", which looked like this:
It really doesn't look all that pink in the picture, does it? I was thinking it'd be more intense reds, omre prominent grays, etc. I'm starting to learn that many of these crazily multi-colored skeins look very different as soon as they're balled up, and also different when knit.
With this pair I stuck with the afterthought heel, but worked in a piece of waste yarn, which made it a little easier to pick up the stitches.
As noted before, whenever I'm knitting, I usually have a helper. Any guesses who this is?
Depending on the lighting, these socks look more or less pink. Sometimes more ruby, sometimes even maroon. But usually? Pink. Oh well - they're really comfortable and freakishly soft! Wonder how they'll hold up to wear and tear...
You can already see cat and/or dog hair stuck to them...

One of the most important marketing tools today is the business cards. They may be small pieces of rectangular paper, but they pack a powerful influence as they are cost effective and easy to get in front of your prospects. Many business owners though think that business cards are simply papers that are used to share and exchange contact details. But these cards are more than that, so to get the real value of your business card, you need to look inside their true potential.
If you think your business is very crucial, your business cards are just as crucial. Your cards are considered as the first thing that your customers will see, so the first impressions they get of you are from these cards. Likewise, your business cads are the last things that your customers will see before they make a transaction with you. If you like your cards to stand out and be unique against your competitors then create a personalized card. When designed great and unique, your cards will surely increase your business referrals and commission.
1. Branding – when it comes to branding, the logo of your business is considered as the most crucial. The good thing here is that you can now add your business logo to your cards. You can choose to place your business logo on the side next to your business name. You can also choose to place it at the center of your card where your name is printed below. There are some card users that usually place their business logo on top of their images, associating their business with that said image or photograph.
2. Custom design of business cards -The standard size of cards is two inches by three and a half. Now, if you want to be distinct, you can consider cutting them with rounded corners and other several different shapes. Moreover, there are fold over cards today, or the mini brochures that are two times the size of your standard cards. You can use this type of design if you want to put more information in your card.
3. Content – business cards are also considered as a piece of marketing collateral, so always treat your cards as one. Choose the right words and never attempt at making your card look too flamboyant. If one part of your message is not doing something for your card, immediately get rid of it. Treat the message of your cards as a good piece of sales copywriting. There are times that you will be tempted to put additional details and information on your business cards, but try to resist it. Avoid overcrowding your card with nonsense details.
4 Printing – it is now possible to design and create your own card templates at the comfort of your own home with the help of your personal computer and printer. But if you are offering your products and services to white collar business people, avoid printing your cards on your own. Use an online printing company for this matter. There are some people that can spot the difference between a personally created your card and one that is done by professionals. Whichever fits your budget, be sure to choose one that will provide you with incredible business cards.

The Divine Truth is Within Yourself.
Why do we have so many religions on this planet? This is a question that many of us ask ourselves. The true messiah taught that organized religion is evil, because no one person should be categorized since we are all one.
Organized Religion organizes each individual in societies and religions, so they can keep them controlled and separated at the same time. That's not the way it should be, but unfortunately that's how it is.
We are living in what the Bible describes as "perilous times" popularly known as the End of the Age (2 Timothy 3:1). Many religions of our world are endeavoring vigorously to achieve a false unity at the expense of the Bible's clear teachings. Much of this effort is being implemented through the employment of counterfeit or vague terminology. Words that are given different meanings sound like the truth but in reality are "doctrines of devils", or "doctrines that demons teach" 1 Timothy 4:1,
The Knowing of Organization
The number one thing we need to fully understand about organizing is that you do not arrange an individual person/soul, because we are all one and the same in this cosmic life. Don't be a part of a particular group of people who make fun of other people, that chooses sides and brag about themselves just because you think their amazing and cool. They're not amazing nor cool they will just drag you down, but show them in a inspiring way that you will not follow their example and maybe it will open their eyes.
Start taking a look at all life in a complete viewpoint of "I Am You", so no one person is labeled like a worthless object and start to being an inspiration wherever you go in life. We need to recognize the importance of emotional feelings in each individual, so we can always share a positive atmosphere within this negative controlling world. The power of knowledge is knowing what the real truth is and how to share it, not to hide it for your on empowerment.
"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." ~ Hebrews 13:2
You are the Real Source of True Power! Don't let anyone take that away from you.
Every soul is Connected with a universal code of light and energy as a whole language through Guardian Of Divinity. We live in an age where technology is taking away our positive spirits and making us think that we can't create without this technology. You have the soul ability to create yourself to know one's self. We should be dedicated to help open imprisoned minds to the higher realms of creative realities by using these digital tools and to make people realize that together we are all within Gods pure existence!
We are at a time of mankind that we need to know the difference between organization, so we do not get confused. Our spiritual levels are way down due to all the evil and negative energy trying to control our souls of realizing that everything in this universe is connected. With organizing material objects such as technology and digital information is a good thing, because we need to know what we are looking at or searching for. So it is fine to organize material objects, but do not organize a soul since we are all part of the same divine creation. Knowing the spirit of yourself.
Since technology has created the internet, which is like a digi-verse aka digital universe of information that is coded by computers it can be manipulated by a user or artificial intelligence. You can start to be aware of these things in today's society if you just look for it and question it.
Freewill gives you the ability to "Question Everything so you can Find the True Answers" , so I even say question this article that you're reading. I think free-will is beautiful and caring, don't you? You can make your own choices and decisions, even if you close yourself off and don't believe anymore. There will always be someone to help guide the way, if need be it a heavenly power, a person in the physical world or an individual on the digital web.
We need to create as many positive resources as we can to help the true word of knowledge and to share it with the whole world. Due to all the negative energy forces swarming around, we lose hope, knowledge and wisdom. Let's become more awakened and ascend spiritually by these social platforms. It is time for us to come together Globally and show people who are distracted by this same digital space that we use and help them Brighten their Light to Glow Wonderfully for another Soul to Share equally.
Sending Positive Vibrations with one Touch!
Anything is Possible! Create and Share your Ideas. Using Technology for Good Purposes!
To have an understanding of our universe, we try to explore the stars of the universe by using this technology. When all along the universe is embedded into our souls as pure energy, so we really just have to look within ourselves to understand who we really are and to overcome what problems that exists in our physical reality. We should be excited everyday to know that there is a heaven and to appreciate that our divine soul lives for eternity. We will always stay together through the creation of love, hope and Guardian Of Divinity, that is the divine promise.
Don't let evil manipulate your mind, body and spirit to forget that G(o)od Guardian Of Divinity is the source of all mass and is prime creator of the family of light, which is you, even before creation. Remember we are pure energy and do not need technology to coexists, because we are the beings of light that vessel these bodies for experiences. So again let's use this material technology for good and spread spiritual teachings to one another globally.
Let's be dedicated to inspire others to help one another!
Reprogram yourself to seek your own divine truth and then share it.
Remember sharing is caring.

Hard Hat Passive House Tour
April 22, 2015 @ 8:30 am - 10:00 am EDT
Event Navigation
Join GBA for a hard hat tour of a Passive House under construction!Register Now
Lucyna de Barbaro, Ph.D., served on the Board of Directors for the Passive House Alliance Western PA Chapter (now PHWPA). She and her husband, Ayres Freitas, Ph.D., are building a duplex in Squirrel Hill to Passive House standards, and they are graciously working with GBA to provide a detailed tour of the first-class, energy-saving building. Coffee and breakfast pastries will be provided, and you'll get to sport one of GBA's snazzy hard hats during the tour! For more information about the project, check out Lucyna de Barbaro's Facebook page.
What is a passive building? In short, it involves an extreme energy efficiency (targeting 60-70% energy use reduction) and performance verification that is proven through an air tightness test with rigorous passing standards. For more information, visit the Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) information page.
Members of Passive House Western Pennsylvania (PHWPA) may register for reduced price as Members of Partner Organizations.
Please note: one half of the duplex is for sale and listed with Keller Williams Realty!
1. Understand the requirements of the Passive House (PHIUS+) standard
2. Understand the principles of Passive House construction
3. Explore techniques used to achieve an air-tight envelope (air tightness goal of 0.6 air-changes at 50 Pascals)
4. Explain typical mechanical system components for Passive House: Energy Recovery Ventilator and heat pump
This event is approved for 1.0 GBCI LEED AP BD&C CEUs and approved for 1.0 AIA HSW credits.
Partnering with USGBC and AIA, GBA makes it easy for our members to report continuing education credits. Please provide your GBCI and/or AIA number so we can auto-report your credits (for applicable events). Non-members can still earn continuing education credits but will need to self-report their GBCI CEUs.

I heard a review today on public radio and it sounds like it should be interesting, focusing on his process of making a movie. The review said they quickly went over the Soon Yi troubles.
One would probably be well advised to steer clear of Woody Allen. He likes to sue people. Mia Farrow noted this in her autobiography---he sued her for custody of her children. A judge ruled that, even if Farrow were an "unfit mother", the court wouldn't hand her children to Allen.
She sued his friend, Jean Doumanian, after his sex scandal. She took up producing his movies when no one else would finance him. He was paid millions for writing and directing movies which consistently lost money, but he sued her and claimed that she had skimmed $12 million in "profits". She countersued. Claimed that Allen had cheated her out of $19 million. It was settled out of court.
Woody Allen, Bill Cosby
Joan Didion wrote about the characters in Allen's movies Annie Hall, Manhattan and Interiors:
...They have "interesting" occupations, none of which intrudes in any serious way on their dating. Many characters in these pictures "write," usually on tape recorders. In Manhattan, Woody Allen quits his job as a television writer and is later seen dictating an "idea" for a short story....It reminds me of The Cosby Show. We see a stand-up comedian's idea of what it's like being a doctor married to a corporate lawyer. Cosby seemed to have no idea what's involved in either profession, so we see a doctor and lawyer who have no medical or legal knowledge. We're supposed to marvel at their high achievement but the only sign we see of it is that they're rich.
In Annie Hall, Diane Keaton sings from time to time, at a place like Reno Sweeney's. In Interiors she seems to be some kind of celebrity poet. In Manhattan she is a magazine writer, and we actually see her typing once, on a novelization, and talking on the telephone to "Harvey," who, given the counterfeit "insider" shine to the dialogue, we are meant to understand is Harvey Shapiro, the editor of The New York Times Book Review. (Similarly, we are meant to know that the "Jack and Anjelica" to whom Paul Simon refers in Annie Hall are Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston, and to feel somehow flattered by our inclusion in this little joke on those who fail to get it.) A writer in Interiors is said to be "taking his rage out in critical pieces." "Have you thought any more about having kids?" a wife asks her husband in Manhattan. "I've got to get the O'Neill book finished," the husband answers. "I could talk about my book all night," one character says. "Viking loved my book," another says.
Look at old episodes of Maude. Even the joke of a doctor next door shows medical knowledge from time to time. Look at the attorney mother on the Beavis & Butt-head spin-off, Daria.
What was Allen thinking, making Diane Keaton a celebrity poet? It's an aging TV gag writer's idea of life as an educated sophisticate.
But I'll watch this thing on American Masters. It should be good.

Daily Chat 04/11/09
Born today: Chris Difford (1954) and Lena Zavaroni (1963-1999).
It is the feast day of Our Lady of Kazan in the Russian Orthodox Church.
44 comments:
Lena Zavaroni's name on the list for today really took me back -- she was only known for this one song here, but for awhile, she was a bit of a phenomenon. Sorry to see that she died so young.ReplyDelete
Lena was hugely talented and part of what is arguably Scotland's most entrepreneurial and creative community, the Scots -Italians: Daniela Nardini, Peter Capaldi, Armando Iannucci and so on.ReplyDelete
Iannucci created what is for Scots the best vision of the Scottish hell: 'Except for Viewers in Scotland'
http://www.youtubeArmando Iannucci.com/watch?v=k7scMC7YSDQ
The community of Italian-Scots was also in the 40s the most persecuted community in Scotland (taking the crown temporarily from those of Irish Catholic descent).
Here's Lena Zavaroni singing Going Nowhere. I think she was just eighteen. She was some talent.ReplyDelete
PB - excellent comment on Dorothy Rowe's thread.ReplyDelete
Depression, like Drugs is a topic that needs a lot of 'thinking out of the box' Nutt does this, politicians don't like it. Reassuring to hear he is consistent
thanks annetan - the rowe thread has been pretty good really - the side-debate on LSD has been acting as a strange sort of punctuation for the on-topic posts...ReplyDelete
Morning all,ReplyDelete
re: The Nutt drugs furore.
I remember reading 'Goldfinger' (bear with me!) a few years back and I was struck by Fleming's description in chapter 2 of the 'British system' in weaning people off heroin.
I was struck by how radical and successful it was when I did a wee bit of research into it. Here's a quick overview, but there's loads on it on t'net:
Many specialists called it a disaster when it was dropped in 1968 (for surprise, surprise Political reasons).
Now obviously you can't compare the problem on the 60's with now (1000 registered users compared with todays estimated 250,000 users), but surely some form of reversion to the previous scheme should be contemplated? It also goes to show that:
1. Listen to the experts.
2. Politicians have no clue how to deal with socio-economic issues beyond what will look good in the Mail and the Sun.
To think Britain of all places had a radical and sensible drugs policy once.....
The reaction to the youth parliament debate in the Commons is less than edifying...ReplyDelete
"To think Britain of all places had a radical and sensible drugs policy once"ReplyDelete
A victim also of the internal politicking within the medical establishment by the looks of it...
Bing Spear sounded like some kind of character as well as an expert's expert. He'd get the sack now too I'd wager.ReplyDelete
the internal politicking of the medical establishment won out clearly by the moralising faction of which the Govt was all too happy to listen to.
It's funny how the moralisers are all too happy to dictate their lofty principles until it actually comes to aiding their fellow man.
The 'medical moralisers' were no doubt the reactionary wing of the BMA of whom Bevan 'had to fill their mouths with gold' to get them to accept Universal Healthcare in 1948.
Nick Davies included a brilliant section on drug policy in Flat Earth News. He said before the criminalisation, most addicts werent emaciated wretches like today, and that the emaciated look mainly comes from the fact it is so expensive they barely spend any money on food. Most of their ill health stems from poverty, and that when it was pure the health consequences were pretty mild. Worth a read.ReplyDelete
Excellent suggested read Jay:ReplyDelete
Nick Davies @ Flat Earth
Indeed, 13Duke. See: Anne Widdecombe as the a incoming mouthpice for a "moralising elite". Despiccable woman. (As noted elsewhere, she's the woman who perfunctoraly and with no compassion whatever sent Ken Saro Wiwa back to Nigeria to his certain murder at the hands of the "govt".) Driven by nowt but bigotry and divine self-importance that woman.ReplyDelete
Jay, Deano, thanks, will come back to that link. NB - the often mooted reason why junkies like Keith Richards outlived for decades the poor sods in squats is that rich people can afford pure smack, which won't kill you unless you o.d.
that's a great link, thanks for that.
Jay, the poverty issue is spot on. There was a brilliant article in the Guardian a few months back 'Whatever happened to the Trainspotting generation?' focusing on the young males addicts of Glasgow and Edinburgh in the 80s:
Our 'war on drugs' has been lost on so many levels and with so many victms over the decades, yet we still get the same old reactionary bollocks from the politicians.
Bah, drugs, legalise the lot (with age restrictions), then tax 'em relative to the cost of sorting out the damage.ReplyDelete
Rights and responsibilities!
13th DukeReplyDelete
I remember the British System back in the 60's. Basically addicts just got a prescription from their GP - clean, reliable smack and no need to rob, burgle, mug etc. The only bloke I knew who was on smack lived a normal life - work, family etc.
It was a complete catastrophe when the system was dropped. I seem to recall, amongst all the political moralising in the UK, there may have been pressure from the US to drop it - but correct me if I'm wrong, it's a long time ago and I'm a bit hazy.
There druggy scene in my part of London was mainly things like uppers, things like dexedrine, preludin, benzadrine, coke and of course hash. I remember you could buy these inhalers (called Nazatone) from any chemist for a few bob. If you broke them open there was a bit of cardboard inside soaked in benzedrine. People would party on those until the authorities twigged. It was rare to see heroin anywhere
Agree with you Dot - When drug use becomes problematic it should be treated as a public health issue - much easier to manage if they're legalised and regulated.
Bloody hell, they've gone back to the "first 50 comments" format! Will they not learn?ReplyDelete
cif = proper fuckedReplyDelete
Pile of shite.ReplyDelete
Comments are appearing and disappearing all over the plot.ReplyDelete
Whilst CiF is experiencing technical difficulties this:ReplyDelete
Should pop up when you access the site until they've sorted it out.
This time it really is proper buggered, isn't it?ReplyDelete
What do we want?
When do we want it?
At your earliest feckin' convenience...
Yep. "Go to all comments", that's a roaring success right there.ReplyDelete
Next trick, think I'll put diesel in my petrol tank.
People getting mighty mad over in CiF land !!!ReplyDelete
There may be an armed revolt yet !!!!
(laughed & ran into bog)
Spooks #10 starts tonight ! Excellent ! I shall be looing out for them listening patiently to Kim Howels...ReplyDelete
Car crash alert on the Mallick thread - great fun!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the Spooks reminder, BW - I'll be watching that.
Been off work today with the lurgey. Meh. Had to keep my email logged in though, which meant I couldn't log in here too as different accounts and google just doesn't get it.
Thought for the day...ReplyDelete
"A question I'm asked increasingly often these days is: "what the fuck are you looking at?"
I tend to reply:
a) "you ya daft cunt"
b) "fuck off you prick"
Is there a better way of dealing with this situation, I'm wondering...
Fraid not, monkeyfish. It's all we know. (So I'm told.)ReplyDelete
Have you tried:
c) "Well it ain't the woman I married"
I thought that Mallick thread was quite funny! Some of the comments are really po-faced though. I never knew there were so many monarchists on CiF :o)ReplyDelete
or how aboutReplyDelete
c) I dunno. I wasn;t sure if they piled it that high...
it worked for BobReplyDelete
But don't try this at home (or anywhere else).
"Well it ain't the woman I married"ReplyDelete
Nah...that's an invitation... way too easy...setting her up for a six yard tap in. She's not the problem anyway..generally gangs of yoot who think they've already lost face when you haven't averted your gaze and become fascinated by the pavement or what's going on in the pound shop window.
If it's gangs of yoot, I usually just smile and say "Alright?" without trying to make it sound too much like "A'ight?" cos I am too old for all that shenanigans.ReplyDelete
Dunno. A taser often offends.ReplyDelete
"Some sort of stain I think"ReplyDelete
BB - I swear that thread has turned me into a monarchist instantaneously.ReplyDelete
Well, not really, but it was so unreasonable that you end up feeling sorry for them, and then the vicicous misogynist attack on Camilla!
Hope your lurgy is improving - I recommend a whiskey-based hot drink.
BW - a taser often offends. Brilliant.ReplyDelete
Thaum - I guess I must just have a dodgy sense of humour but she made me laugh. Don't particularly have much respect for the royals, although I don't think I would actually want to see them guillotined though.
Haven't got any whisky in the house, which is a bummer. I shall get hubby to bring some home tomorrow as I am going to be at home then too, without a doubt.
BB - as I said on the thread, the aristocracy worry me much less than the elected bastards. Which worries me from a philosophical point of view.ReplyDelete
No whiskey! *wipes brow* I don't drink it that often but it is a miracle insomnia cure as well as a miracle cold cure, so I always make sure I have some on hand.
Whiskey, hot water (or tea), lemon, sugar: sorted. Best taken before the symptoms get too bad as it'll usually sort it all out before the lurgy takes a good hold.
Recommend a good single malt. Caol Isla 12 yr old. Not cheap, but damn fine medicine.ReplyDelete
Sadly, I can't keep whisky in the house as I drink it almost at once. The 12-year old malt of the other day is but a peaty memory, and I'd feel like (perhaps even be) an alky if I got more just yet...ReplyDelete
As single malts go, I love The Macallan. Smoky peaty goodness.ReplyDelete
Time I was off. Have a good night everyone xReplyDelete

On Amber
Leather Satchel
Even though we are not in Paris France, we still believe we can be chic and sophistication to our everyday style. Amber puts a feminine twist on boyfriend jeans and leather accessories. This adorable short sleeved sweater is under $50 and is the perfect addition to any fall wardrobe. On the warmer days wear it alone but on the cooler ones, layer it underneath a preppy white oxford and throw a denim jacket over top. If your looking for a bit more edge then style like Amber did above with some dark wash boyfriend jeans and add a black leather satchel and leather lace up sneakers for a much more relaxed vibe. This look is casual but at night put on a bold red lip, black strappy heels a statement necklace and your good to go. What is your go to everyday look, how do you transtion it from day to night wed love to see!

He helps the reader to focus on Jesus, not the circumstance, but Max shows us how to take that circumstance and trust Jesus every day, knowing He is in total control.
This is a dated devotional for men and women of all ages. It would make a great for the one you love. This would be a perfect gem if you work in an office and have space to set out books. A great beginning for a family to read before they head out the door or for a night's reading to ponder while heading off to dreamland.
Max brings subject matter that we face on a daily basis. These devotions are all taken from Max's previous books. I love having all of these snippets of gold from each book all together in one place. Seasons of wisdom for every soul. You can never go wrong with a book penned by Max Lucado. This one is a keeper.
This devotional was a gift from Thomas Nelson for sharing my review with you.
Max Lucado
More than 120 million readers have found inspiration and encouragement in the writings of Max Lucado. He lives with his wife, Denalyn, and their mischievous mutt, Andy, in San Antonio, Texas, where he serves the people of Oak Hills Church

Bedtime Story
Renji had known Rukia forever, an eternity, generations—for so long that he wasn't sure he could pinpoint a time when they hadn't been together. That was why he didn't consider, not even once, the possibility that she might not always be there. Sure, she might leave for a few months on business, but a few months to a shinigami was barely any time at all. They were beyond time. He'd always known that he and Rukia were inextricably tied together and that nothing, especially nothing, could break them apart.
Though a few things came incredibly close. One person, to be exact, came (is coming, Renji corrected) incredible close.
Renji remembered his name well; it was something ridiculously multifaceted, and, Renji added, incredibly dumb. Kurosaki Ichigo.
Of course he knew about Kurosaki. Of course he knew that he had two sisters, a dad, and a deceased mother. Of course he knew that he had killed twenty hollows in the last month. Of course he knew his eye color, hair color, height, weight, face, voice. He probably knew it as well as Rukia did. Even better. Because he knew Rukia and knew the things that Rukia knew, and if he didn't, he went to great lengths to seek whatever it is that he was missing.
Of course Rukia was important to him. He wasn't stupid enough to deny it.
Which only meant that he wasn't going to let someone, the one, important to him waste away.
Unknown forces, those tightly woven, roughly formed, deeply rooted connections, were what beckoned him to her this night. It was late, so late that the sky had turned a shade of black that Renji never knew existed. His feet seemed to be separate entities, dragging his entire body towards where she was. Closing the undesirable gap.
When he was five paces away from the cell, he could tell instantly that she was awake. Her eyes shone in the darkness, an eerie color that could not have been found anywhere in nature. Her body lay curled in a fetal position; her knees drawn up to her chest and her arms pressed together tightly in front of her face. Renji found the position to be very unlike her.
She was the first to speak.
"It's a bit late, don't you think?"
"Thought I'd take a walk," Renji said curtly, unbuckling his sheath and placing it on the ground in front of him. A sign of peace. Her bright eyes widened slightly in the darkness.
"Around the prison grounds?" she asked.
"I can walk wherever I walk!" Renji shouted, sitting down roughly on the ground. The bars were just an arm's length away from him. "Don't patronize me!"
"I'm sorry," she said.
Renji scowled. "Stop with the woe-is-me puppy-dog act. You're better than that."
"Oh?" Her legs extended slightly until she was positioned completely on her side, facing him. "Can I take that as a compliment?"
"Take it however you want," Renji snapped. At this, the woman smiled slightly and approached him. She sat dangerously close to the bars, so close that Renji could have reached out and touched her.
"Why would you come here?" she asked again, her head tilted in inquiry. She was smiling, but her eyebrows were knitted in confusion.
"I told you already!" he snapped at the ground. "I'm just walking!"
"You're not walking now," she pointed out.
"Because I'm talking to you, idiot!"
Rukia smiled. He glared.
"Thank you for coming, Renji," she said sweetly. "I'm glad that you're worried about me."
"Who's worried about you?!" he exclaimed. "Visiting someone isn't the same as worrying! You're disgusting!"
"That's a childish thing to say."
"Well, I can't help it when I'm around you!"
She began to chuckle then, something that Renji hadn't heard for a long time. A very long time. Even if it was completely devoid of any really happiness.
"Tell me a story," Rukia said suddenly, childishly clutching the bars and goggling at him with a complacent smile. "You used to tell me such interesting stories."
"No I didn't," Renji said, crossing his arms, looking angry. "I never told you stories."
"You did," Rukia said, a little softly. "I liked them."
"What, you mean the story about that time I—God, you still remember that?"
Her smile broadened. "Of course."
He scoffed, but smiled. Rukia took this as a sign.
"Tell me a story." She reached out and grasped his sleeve firmly. "When we were small and hid in the alleys to sleep, your stories would always lull me go to sleep."
"I don't have any stories," he said, trying to tug his sleeve out of her grasp. She grew more persistent, slightly distressed.
"Please, Renji. One story."
She pulled him so forcefully that his shoulder jarred against the bars. He winced and was about to turn and shout at her, until she grabbed his hand. Her small fingers wrapped themselves around his through the bars. Firmly.
"Jeez," he muttered. "You're too damned persistent."
She smiled.
Renji sighed, and took a deep breath. "Well, there's this one story I know… it's really popular. It's about this princess named Rapunzel—heard of it?"
"Go on."
"See, this princess," Renji began, his eyes falling upon her hand in his, "this princess was trapped in a tall tower with no door, no stairs, no nothing. Only one window at the very top (it was a tall tower). I forgot why," he scratched his head, "I mean, I only heard this once or twice, but how she got in there isn't really important."
Rukia gave a little snort.
"Anyway, this princess was stuck up in this tower, right? I think a witch trapped her up there or something… yeah, yeah I remember, there was a witch. I'm sure there was one. Hey, shut up, you're supposed to be listening."
"Sorry. I'll stop." Rukia tried to keep a straight face. Renji glared.
"So this princess—she's been locked up in this tower for many years, all her life," he said, trying not to look at his hands. "And her hair grew really, really long. And she had nothing to do but comb it (I guess that's what girls do). Don't ask about food or the toilet or anything, because I don't know either. All I remembered was that she was lonely. Really, really lonely."
"That's sad."
"Of course it's sad. All she had was that old hag of a witch, and even though the bitch, sorry, was mean to her, Rapunzel cared about her because she was the only one she had. Even if she were hated, she still loved her warden."
"That's nice of her."
"I guess. I always thought she was an idiot. But yeah, in her heart, Rapunzel was always waiting for someone to come and rescue her. A prince, to be exact. Oh, crap, did I mention that her hair was really long?"
"Oh, okay. So her hair was so long, it became sort of a ladder thing, I guess, and that was how the witch got up the tower, see? Whenever she'd be out, gathering herbs or something for magic, she'd have to call out 'Rapunzel, Rapunzel! Let down your hair!', and Rapunzel would have to let down all of her hair and let this really fat witch climb up it every day."
Rukia grinned. "This is a very interesting story."
Renji shrugged, and scratched his head with his free hand. "Yeah, well, it's one of my favorites."
"Mmm." She laid her head against the bars, inches away from where Renji's shoulder was.
He coughed. "Um, yeah. Well one day, this really, really handsome prince… he was just riding around on his white stallion I think, and saw the witch climb up this rope of hair. And he thought, 'now that's odd', and looked up and saw that the hair belonged to this really pretty girl. He feel in love instantly. Like that." He snapped his fingers.
Rukia laughed. "With only one look?"
Renji shrugged, "Yeah, he wasn't too bright either."
"So does the prince… save her?"
"Wait, don't go so fast," Renji said. "First, he pretends to be the witch, climbs up her hair, and talks to her for awhile. They both fall in love, and they come up with a plan to escape together."
"Did they?"
Renji furrowed his brow. "Um… wait. Yeah, I know they escaped in the end, but I forgot how. I'm sure the witch tried to stop them…"
Rukia pulled her fingers from his grasp. "You told me a story that you don't even know the ending to?!" she exclaimed. "Does the princess get freed?!"
"Yes, I told you, yes!" Renji exclaimed, a little annoyed. "Don't worry, the prince comes and saves her and they live happily ever after…"
"But how?"
Renji looked a little bewildered. "Is that really important? As long as it's happy, right?"
Rukia bit her lip. "But it's impossible to get her out; he couldn't climb up the tower and then climb back down with her, plus there's the witch, who undoubtedly put up all sorts of enchantments around the tower to prevent this sort of thing," she said frantically. "And what if she doesn't even want to go out? You said it yourself, she cared for the witch too…"
"And the prince barely even knows her and he's risking his life and neck out for her? That's stupidity!"
Rukia gave him an irritated look. "What?"
"Kurosaki can do it."
Rukia fell silent. Renji felt something rise in his throat. He plunged on.
"If anyone can do it," he said to the ground, "it'd be him." He oddly felt the need to fill the silence. "That guy," he said, "that guy really cares about you."
"That idiot," she said viciously, glaring at the floor. "That idiot. I told him not to come. That fool."
Renji sat, his back against Rukia, with a great sense of doom weighing down on him. "Caring for you is foolish?"
"Why," she asked, her eyes wide and desperately confused, "Why would anyone care for me?"
"That's something," Renji said, "You can ask him. When he comes.'
He got up.
"He can't." Her voice was hollow.
"He will."
Renji had known Rukia for a long time. He didn't remember a moment in his life without her. She was always, always, going to be there. Even if forces greater than the two of them tried to wrench them apart, Renji would cling on. Because they were beyond anyone, everyone.
He was inextricably tied to her. There were forces far too great for anyone, even him, to comprehend this fact. It was because of this, because of this complexity, this puzzle, this paradox that Renji began to realize that he really did love her.
Which was why he was so willing to let Kurosaki have her.
"Good night," Renji said, already at the threshold of the exit. "Good bye."

Love and Cinnamon
Cinnamon Biscuits from Taste and Tell are amazing. I did not have time for the fussiness of a yeast cinnamon roll and this recipe was the first that came up on a google of "cinnamon biscuit". Fortuitous googling has never tasted so good. Usually biscuit recipes leave me feeling more parched than comforted but the secret here is a dousing with a 1/2 cup of milk when you remove them from the oven. You would think you would have a squishy mess but somehow this transforms the biscuit into a light fluffy mass with just the right amount of gooey goodness.
Even better, an opportunity to be reminded that we have the best neighbors ever. People who don't bat an eyelash when I call desperately for said milk babbling about the need to pour it over hot cinnamon biscuits and arriving 30 seconds later in my pajamas.

Dear John and family, It was a lovely service for Juanita. Even though the past several years were not kind to her, it was still a shock to hear that she had passed.

My sincere condolences to her family and especially to John-- May his large family be a comfort to him in these sad days--

With consumer prices jumping in March, it looks like inflation may have finally arrived as a legitimate market concern, adding to speculation that the Fed will raise interest rates for the first time in four years before November's presidential election rather than after it. The Labor Department's consumer price index, the most commonly used indicator of U.S. inflation, rose 0.5% in March after a 0.3% increase in February. The report said prices rose most sharply for energy, transportation, clothing and domestic services. The core rate, which excludes food and energy costs, rose 0.4%, twice what economists had forecast and the biggest one-month increase since late 2001. Core prices rose 0.2% in February. Should the trend continue, the central bank may have to raise interest rates from their 46-year low of 1% to dampen demand, warned Robert Brusca, chief economist at Fact and Opinion Research in New York. "We've seen these numbers jump out of nowhere, like a mugger coming out of an alley," he said. "There's been no warning, and clearly you have to be cautious." The higher-than expected inflation figures in March come on the heels of surprisingly strong job creation and retail sales during the month, and add a somber note to the song of recovery some are now singing. The Treasury market sold off again, with the yield on the 10-year note breaking the 4.4% level, having touched a nine-month low of about 3.6% just a month ago. "Clearly, inflation is rising," Brusca said. "The question is how much is it rising and how fast is it rising. We're getting into a period where we're testing the Fed's patience." "That's a pretty big increase and I think that firms that have been under downward pressure are finally able to get some catch-up," he said, suggesting that pricing power may have finally returned. Higher transportation costs, up 1.1% in March, were pinned squarely on the 5.5% jump in gasoline prices for the month. Gasoline was up 1.6% from its previous peak level of March 2003, the report said. Apparel prices, which saw a 0.9% jump last month, may have seen a boost because of an early Easter holiday. Variable weather in the month may have also contributed to the gain.
