Charming, Feminine Living Room
Why it makes us swoon: Because this living room is all about relaxed, romantic decorating. Homeowner/designer Lillian August chose cushy chairs, sofas covered in simple white linen, and comfy ottomans for propping up feet.

Interior designer: Lillian August
Worn Wooden Details
Why it makes us swoon: A lovely carved wood back and whitewashed finish give this chair the appearance of a well-loved antique, although it's a new piece from Lillian August Stores. The worn painted surface eases concerns about scratches and scuffs, putting the emphasis on comfort. "We're doing so many beautiful antique reproductions that people can afford that 'collected-over-time' look without having to buy antiques," says designer Lillian August.

Luxurious Dressing Room
Why it makes us swoon: It's just a trailer, but yards of brown velvet trimmed in pale-blue turn the space (used by actress Marcia Cross) into a very private, very luxurious haven.

Soothing Silver Sitting Area
Why it makes us swoon: We're mesmerized by the soothing surroundings of ivory and gray, and antique furnishings that make us feel like we're taking a step back in time. Framed by ornate sconces, the impressionistic-style painting introduces the only note of color—a delicate lilac—into the room. This spot is meant for lingering.
Bronze and Pink Bedroom
Why it makes us swoon: Envisioned for a modern-day Zelda Fitzgerald, this room promises a glamorous night's sleep. Romance is part of the package, too, when you consider the salmon-color silk taffeta drapery and the focal-point wall; its hand-painted wallpaper boasts an intricate silver-leaf background.

Interior designer: Nancy Pearson
Pretty Bedroom Details
Why it makes us swoon: We love the pretty pink lamp that combines a vintage hand-blown Murano-glass base with a pearl silk lampshade. Happily, it's perched upon an equally lovely end table decorated with gold leaf, crystal inserts, and a mirrored top.

Interior designer: Mary Jo Donohoe
Dreamy and Dazzling Dining Room
Why it makes us swoon: Maybe it's the dreamy lavender walls paired with luscious silk taffeta window patterns in a silvery celadon hue. Or the dazzling ceiling covered in glazed silver-leaf squares. Either way, the striking iron chandelier with large rock crystal drops adds a bit of glam that suits the room's setting in a 1905 Georgian mansion.

Flirty Red-and-White Kitchen
Why it makes us swoon: This classic white kitchen may not be over-the-top romantic, but you have to admit the displayed red-and-white transferware makes it a little flirtatious. Hand-glazed subway tiles and Carrara marble countertops offer elegant enhancements.
Interior designer: Julie Hovnanian
Architect: Don Stine
Pattern-Happy Bedroom
Why it makes us swoon: There's something about this lively mix of textures, patterns, and sheens that sets the stage for romance. A sumptuous velvet headboard, silk taffeta pillows trimmed with tassel fringe, and a brocade rug all contribute to the overall effect. "It's outrageous in some ways, but it's also very warm and enveloping," says designer Melanie Elston about the apartment decor. "[The homeowners] are very sensory. And they really don't care what anyone else thinks!"
Interior designer: Melanie Elston
Luxurious Louis XVI Dining Room
Why it makes us swoon: Who knew we could get so excited about paint? But this paneled presentation – a month-long process that started with a blue base topped with beige strie that was then trimmed with silver leaf atop gold -- boasts the quintessential Louis XVI look. An elaborate chandelier sparkles up above, while arch-topped French doors offer a view of the lush landscaping in the terrace and garden. See the next slide for additional dining-room details.

Interior designer: Marshall Watson
Feminine Bedroom with Canopy Bed
Why it makes us swoon: Toile tells a story, and what it talks about here is an inclination toward romance. That's because the pink-and-cream figured fabric drapes extravagantly from a Louis XVI-style bed adorned with plump silk pillows.

Statement Pieces in the Entry
Why it makes us swoon: Because the ornate mirror, shapely commode, and Louis XVI-style chair strut their stuff in front of a hand-painted damask-pattern wall. Against that intriguingly neutral backdrop, each piece can be appreciated for its own beauty. But together they create a captivating still-life of color and form.

Interior designer: Madeline Stuart
Sensual Soaking Tub

Sparking Golden Powder Room
Why it makes us swoon: Modeled after the sparkly powder room at Bemelmans Bar in Manhattan's famed Carlyle hotel, this fabulous small space gleams. The walls are covered with high-wattage gold chinoiserie wallpaper. The ceiling and baseboards are covered with gold leaf. And the floor is covered in gold penny tiles. "I've always loved that bar," says designer/homeowner Berkley Vallone. "It's so sparkly and decadent."
See the next two slides for additional details.

Light-filled Kitchen with Glittering Details
Why it makes us swoon: Hanging an antiqued-silver chandelier with hand-cut crystals in the window-lined breakfast nook definitely romances this kitchen setting. Beneath the Louis XVI-look fixture, a modern bronze-and-terra cotta table adds a touch of edginess to the scene.
Browse this light and lovely marble kitchen.
Kitchen designer: Mick De Giulio
Sweet Metallic Details
Why it makes us swoon: Because details from this nursery—the woven rattan bed, mosquito-net bed canopy, and copper-and-brass lotus chains—can be borrowed to help create very romantic, grown-up bedrooms. The oh–so-touchable wall covering is woven raw jute.

Gorgeous Southern Garden
Why it makes us swoon: With its imposing fountain and vine-covered brick walls, this space oozes a lazily sensuous French Quarter vibe -- despite its Houston location. "Inside the walls, it's both structured and lush … creating what I call 'ordered chaos,'" says landscape architect Helen Grivich. "I like a little whimsy in the middle; I think a garden should make you smile."

Glad I Attended the 2012 Jesse Litsch & Bechtel Financial Celebrity Tourney
I truly believe it is an event like no other in Tampa Bay. From the evident bonds between teammates and the golf participants this golf tournament is more than just 8 hours of fun, sun and conversation, it is truly life changing. When I first volunteered for the Jesse Litsch & Bechtel Financial Celebrity Golf Tournament last season, I spent a majority of my time cooped up in the clubhouse not getting the full jest and personality of this awesome tournament, but in 2012, I decided to do things a bit differently.
Maybe it was the inspiration I got from seeing young Connor sprinting and being a kid around the golf course before the guys even hit the links that inspired me. Here was a kid who was battling that demon, the big "C" who was cheerful, spunky and all around a young guy you wanted see beat not only this aliment, but anything in his wake. It got me pumped up, and with that I walked all 18 holes of the East Lake North Golf course on this day.
Connor was one of the tournament's charitable recipients this season, and I could not think of a better way to not only honor his courage and smile while facing such an ordeal than to give a pound of sweat and maybe a few aches and pains getting photos I left behind in 2011. This is an organization that brings together not only the young and veteran members of the Toronto Blue Jays organization, but other professional players from the Tampa Bay region, even a few Tampa Bay Rays. I talked to Rays SS Reid Brignac earlier in the week and he was upset he would miss this tournament because of a prior commitment.
But those assembled for this great event that not only will help Connor, but will also give funding to programs like The Boys & Girls Club and The Bike for Kids program which is a charity in conjunction with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Department to give bikes to underprivileged children during the holiday season. And all this started when Litsch and Bechtel first talked during a similar golfing event back in November 2008.
They say sometimes the best things happen on the golf links, and with regards to this tournament, that is exactly how it unfolded. In its third year, this event has not only grown in the silent auction arena providing countless great adventures and signed memorabilia, it brings together people from all walks of life and bonds them into a common goal and objective to have fun for the day while bringing in financial help for the tournament's charities.
But this is not your father's usual golf tournament. Sure you have the shotgun start, the usual wild pants, hats and decorative ensembles that go together with such events, but the pairings of celebrity and amateur golfers brings a conversation, and common interest and maybe even a possible kinship that could spawn another tournament just like this one.
I have got to say as I cruised the golf course from the 18th hole to the first tee in reverse, I wanted to get the vibe and energy that makes this event unique and a "must attend" event each Spring.
Got to admit, I got that in spades, but it wasn't enough to win the card game on that one particular tee. But this event which is focused firmly on its charitable funding also doesn't take itself too serious not to have some fun during the day, even with events straight out of what must have been a Pledge Captains' fraternity play book.
I mean you had kick, punt and pass holes for additional yardage that most though former Bucs kicker Martin Gramattica would own. That hole by itself was worth the mileage walking this golf course as both young and old tried to bring back a bit of past glory, but few seemed eager and willing to re-visit that piece of time. Still, it was a hole where also laughter ruled the day and even a few comments vented towards participants whose past football glory let them down on this day, shanked to the left or right of the fairway.
Remember I spoke of the Frat angle, that is the 10th hole. A huge Red Bull tent where Litsch camped out for the day along with a killer sound system, very spirited ladies providing beverages and even photos along with a long drive contest that proved to be not only water challenged, but hair-raising at the same time. Of course I also got a ball jettisoned my direction by recently retire Rays C Toby Hall, but the ball ended up high, wide and not very handsome, hopefully missing someone in their backyard. Still, this half-way point of the course had the vibe and energy of the entire event and it kept me not only going, but provided me with a chance to sit and chat with many of the day's duffers, including former Rays P Doug Waechter.
But my favorite hole by far was the baseball tee. I know there were more former or current baseball participants in this assembled logjam of golfers than any other sport, but moist of us never had to hit a ball off a tee, and much less with 4 other people behind us critiquing use like the MLB Network. The one golfer that didn't surprise me with his swing was former Rays SP/RP and new Cub Andy Sonnanstine. Maybe it was the fact I was just off to the right of the tee box about 150 yards, but Sonny actually stroked one within 10 feet of me just shy of giving me a bruise to remember.
I even saw one golfer do a "Happy Gilmore" approach and nail a ball a good 140 yards while his grandson did more damage to the tee than the white Rawlings ball.
Still you get the jest now that this tournament takes it focus seriously but while on the links talks, bonding and bringing together people who want to support these charities is priority one. Fun might rule the day, but serious matters including some high bidding on packages and auction items ruled the roost after everyone was done for the day on the greens. Again there was the autographed bats signed by each celebrity participant of the tournament that this seasoned peaked out at $ 250 each bringing more help and financial muscle to the charities.
All the whole there was an assembled hum and buzz in the room as everyone talked either about the upcoming baseball season, their daily good and forgettable moments, or just wanting to meet and bond with their table mates. Charlie Belcher from the local Fox affiliate again was the Master of Ceremonies and did a great job as usual bringing together the assembly at the right moments to honor the day's best golfers and offer some great comedic moments. I was glad I detoured myself this season out onto the golf course. There was different vibe outdoors even with the cold bit in the air, the humor, and relaxed attitude of each of the pairings as we crossed paths was inviting and a great experience.
This is definitely one of those I want to volunteer my services to as long as possible, for their outreaching arms to the community is inspiring, and it is great to see a local MLB player and a heavy hitter in the financial field give back with an equal amount of rejuvenated vigor and vitality.
In the end I want to again thank Jesse, Kevin, George and the entire participating group from organizers, volunteers and participants for again bringing a warmth to my heart with their outward display of great giving back to this region. You can bet without a doubt I will be back in 2013, just save me an opening, because I am ready, willing and able to again participate in such a great charitable adventure.
Bloggers's Note: I want to apologize to Jesse and Kevin for the delay of this post. When my laptop went down, I was afraid I had lost these photos, but I was able to pluck them from my dead hard drive and also post other photos to my free Flickr photostream. Again thank you for the memorable moment and I truly look forward to the 2013 edition of this great event.

CRESTVIEW � Sacred Heart Children's Hospital is spreading the word about Florida KidCare health insurance, a federally funded health insurance option for children under age 19.
CRESTVIEW � Sacred Heart Children's Hospital is spreading the word about Florida KidCare health insurance, a federally funded health insurance option for children under age 19.
"We are working on behalf of the state, trying to get children enrolled," Nora Bailey, a consultant for Sacred Heart Children's Hospital, said, adding that many residents may be unaware of the program.
"Florida has traditionally had a very low percentage of eligible people who are enrolled," Bailey said.
Florida KidCare provides lower rates than most insurance companies and employer health plans, Bailey said. Uninsured children under age 19 who are U.S. citizens or qualified non-citizens are eligible for the program. Other restrictions, including income requirements, apply.
Following a recent federal grant, Sacred Heart Children's Hospital has hired four community health workers to help families apply for Florida KidCare insurance. Their coverage area includes Okaloosa, Escambia, Santa Rosa and Walton counties.
"My role is go out into the community and spread the word," Dione Wilson, one such health worker, said.
Wilson, a married father of two girls, became involved with the program after discovering how beneficial Florida KidCare insurance would be to his family.
He earned $55,000 annually and was covered along with his wife by an employer's health insurance policy. But the household's finances became less manageable after he added Jessica, his youngest daughter, to the plan.
"It went to ($)400 every two weeks, so that was ($)800 every month," Wilson said. "I couldn't afford that; it was like a house payment."
Wilson reached out to Medicaid, but learned his household income was too high to qualify. Medicaid, a state and federally funded program, provides medical coverage to low-income individuals and families. The Social Security Administration or the Department of Children and Families determines eligibility.
Wilson soon learned about Florida KidCare, which he said covered Jessica's health care at a reasonable cost.
For instance, $140 per month might cover a child; rates vary based on the household income, he said.
The plans � which allow families to choose their children's physicians � cover doctor and hospital visits and medical procedures. In addition, they cover prescriptions, vision, hearing and dental care, according to the Florida KidCare website.
Enrollment is easy, Wilson said.
"The good thing is we're here to actually assist them throughout the entire enrollment process. We refer them to different organizations if they need help," he said.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Wilson works from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. out of an office inside Mt. Zion AME Church, 502 McDonald St. Appointments can also be made.

"Shib, Shib, are you up?"
"Som, hush! Everyone will wake up" Madhu, cautioned, "I will also come."
Shib and Som and sixteen year old Madhu were friends. Summer mornings were for aimless loitering, stealing fruits and watching the morning train pass by. "Control this girl; always hanging with boys; who would marry her?" neighbors would complain to an apologetic mother.
Those carefree innocent days were full of happiness.
Time changed. Madhu left with her husband. Shib and Som left for study and job.
Stone house still remains as does the tree. Memories of happy time linger around them.

Green Room
Sons of Järvi
Paavo and Kristjan follow in their father's footsteps...mostly.
Interview by Melinda Whiting
Paavo Järvi, 38, and Kristjan Järvi, 29, are the sons of Detroit Symphony Music Director Neeme Järvi. Born in Estonia, they emigrated with their family to the United States in 1980, and followed divergent musical paths en route to the same profession. Their loyalties and similarities run deep, despite their divergent musical approaches, and clearly stem from family experience. In the course of a 90-minute conversation in June -- shortly before their father underwent surgery for a ruptured aneurysm in Estonia -- each paid tribute to Neeme Järvi's influence. Respect for their family's musical heritage permeated every point of discussion.
Melinda Whiting: One of you was raised mostly in Estonia and the other, mostly in America. Did this make a significant difference in the way each of you grew up -- musically and otherwise?
Kristjan Järvi: The fundamental base is the same. We come from the same place and the same family and our big influence has always been our father. But as far as my education and friends and society are concerned, it was a different time and a different place than with Paavo. Even though his college years were also here in America, I would say he's more European than me.
Paavo Järvi: They say that something very basic and important is formed in your teens, and all my high school education was in Estonia. When we came here, it took me and my sister much longer to adjust than Kristjan. Kristjan went to school and within a week or two he was...
KJ: ...speaking English.
PJ: Because of his age, he adjusted very quickly. Also, I grew up in Estonia when it was occupied by the Soviets. It was a prison. You couldn't get out; people weren't allowed to leave. And if an artist traveled outside the country for concerts, his family always stayed behind as insurance to make sure he came back. So my father didn't travel as much as he did later, when we came to America. But the system here is entirely different. When my father came here, he was always traveling. So Kristjan ended up seeing much less of our father in those years when he was eight to fifteen or so.
MW: When did each of you know you wanted to conduct? And was it simply because your father did?
PJ: As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a conductor. Back when I was six years old, even. And it was only because my father was one. At that age, of course, you have no idea what conducting really is. You don't know anything about the art of it or the profession of it, other than that when you are at home and you are the son of a conductor, you see the sort of fanaticism that he is approaching his work and his life with. As kids, we went to every opera and orchestra concert and chamber orchestra concert -- he was music director of all of them -- and we were constantly going to rehearsals. I saw Traviata, I don't know, 30 times. Rossini operas, all the standard repertory. A lot of times we went to rehearsals because there was no one to stay with us kids at home.
MW: Good babysitter, the opera.
PJ: Yes. It is also an old European tradition that the son continues in the father's profession; it's an expected thing. It was kind of understood, you know? "When you grow up, you'll also be a conductor." Like family businesses. It used to be the normal way for a business to continue.
MW: "Järvi and Sons, Conductors."
PJ: [Laughs] Well, there's something to it!
KJ: I don't know if my urge to conduct was quite as strong as Paavo's. Piano was my instrument, which I did my thing with -- which was, most of the time, that I didn't practice at all! But it was time to apply for college and I had to get good recommendations. And I asked for one from my teacher at the time -- I was mostly studying with her assistant, but the teacher was Nina Svetlanova at the Manhattan School of Music. She hadn't heard me for a year or so, so she heard me and said, "whoa, are you really sure you want to go off and study something besides music? Why don't you take this audition at the Manhattan School?" So I did. And I got involved with all these people at the Manhattan School who were composers and wanted their music to be performed. They saw that I had a father who was a conductor that they knew about, and a brother who was starting to get a reputation...
PJ: A terrible one!
KJ: So they started to come to me with their music and say, "you want to conduct this?" And I would say, "Yeah, I guess I do, but I don't really know what I'm doing." So I started off my conducting experience with completely new works -- unpublished material by unknown composers doing the weirdest things possible. Students, for whom anything goes. That sparked my interest more than anything else, because what they were doing was out of the ordinary and actually not classical at all in many ways. And so I attempted conducting. Then, one day, I asked Paavo, "what would you feel like if I actually studied conducting?" And Paavo said, "You should." But I actually always felt a little out of place that I should be yet another one. Like, why do we need three? But I pursued it at Manhattan School, and during that time I started the Absolute Ensemble. Then I went to the University of Michigan, and from then on I've been kind of taking my own initiative by studying conducting in my very own special way. [Grins.]
MW: There's a significant difference between the ensembles you work with. Can your different paths as conductors be traced to the environments you've described growing up in?
PJ: It was the classical standard repertoire that motivated me to become a musician. I started on a very traditional path: I wanted to be able to do the Beethoven and Brahms symphonies. My father has a very large repertoire and does lots of different things, but that variety was not in new music, but in neglected music that has been around for a long time but somehow has not been championed. That also was something that I received from him. So the approach to conducting was more traditional in my case.
MW: Kristjan, your path with Absolute Ensemble has been less traditional.
KJ: Basically, I have this workshop to test my ideas and create event-based concerts. As an ensemble we are versatile, and can improvise as well as play music that is notated. We can basically do anything we want to do. And I'm trying to approach the classical music scene from a slightly different angle: from format and a rock perspective. And from something that is rooted in improvised music: that the performance itself, whether it's improvised music or not, should always have the feeling that we just got together and had a great jam session.
MW: I know you guys debate all the time. The shoptalk around your house, when your whole family gets together, must be something to hear.
PJ: We have a similar understanding about some things -- not everything, obviously, but that's a good thing. And growing up in a family where you have a father for a conductor is a tremendous thing, because a lot of the information being passed on is information that it takes other people years and years to discover. Up to this day, I still learn from him and discuss things with him. Recently I did Tubin's Symphony No. 5 in Estonia. My father has done it many times and knew Tubin personally. And we completely disagreed on how to do the last movement! I saw his point; he saw my point. But by telling me his point of view, he taught me something that made it easier for me to make some decisions about the piece. He spoke from experience, from doing it many times.
MW: Kristjan, what kind of questions have you brought to him?
KJ: Everything from what do I say when I start the first rehearsal -- how do I say, "good morning?" -- to very practical things. Take the Sibelius Violin Concerto, for instance. Should I be waiting for the soloist here? Or should I just go? And usually my dad says, "conduct the soloist -- he's just part of the orchestra." [Laughs.]
PJ: A lot of those little elementary things are something that a young conductor just doesn't know. You might also, sometimes, need to hear, "well, he might look like he wants to be followed, but actually he's looking for a very clear beat here and really hopes that you take initiative."
KJ: It just helps to have my father's advice, because you can't replace experience. And if you think you know what you're doing...
PJ: Think again! [They laugh.] Because you don't. As good as you may be, you can always be better. There is always much more there than you currently are able to do. That whole concept of going deeper and deeper into a subject is exactly what we are there to do. Ultimately this is the goal.

Pellet Heat Approaches Liftoff with Residential Consumers
"We're this far from taking off," said a speaker at a pellet boiler firm's recent sales meeting in Portland, Maine, while holding his thumb and index finger two inches apart. At the same time, another major pellet boiler firm in Maine is pounding the television airwaves with a commercial comparing the price of pellet fuel to heating oil, and Maine's state energy agency recently announced an incentive program whereby up to 50 residential pellet boiler purchasers will receive rebates up to $5,000. The boiler firms and installers hope that this incentive will prove so popular that it will be extended beyond the initial funding.
Speaking at the 2013 Kedel (a Danish pellet boiler) Summit in Portland, former Biomass Thermal Energy Council Chairman Charlie Niebling was asked what it will take for residential pellet boiler sales in Maine and New Hampshire to achieve liftoff. Niebling suggested that increased tension in the Middle East, thereby spiking oil prices, would be an obvious stimulus. Absent such a spike, Niebling stated that while the pellet sector is "poised to significantly expand," it behooves the industry to undertake a strong education and promotion program.
Other speakers at the meeting cited the need to answer consumer questions about bulk delivery, the long-term price outlook for pellets, the resale value of homes with central pellet heat, and greenhouse gas emissions. A panel of customers speaking at the end of the meeting emphasized that the desire to "get away from oil," for both economic and environmental reasons, trumped whatever unanswered questions they had about switching to pellets. A secondary reason cited was a desire to spend their fuel dollars in support of Maine's forest products economy.
Sales staff at the meeting spoke with confidence, noting that the 20-year longevity of oil burners means that every year, five percent of Maine homeowners are in the marketplace for a new heating system. The marketing pitch is "pellets are half the price of oil, and emit one-tenth the greenhouse gas."
Will Maine be a significant partner in achieving pellet heat liftoff? According to its critics, the outlook among some trustees and staff at the state's energy agency, Efficiency Maine, is that economic development considerations—the huge multiplier effect of a heating system using a locally produced fuel—are not central to the agency's mission. In addition, the "insulation uber alles" crowd continues to demand that no home receive funds for a heating system change-out without the building envelope first being secured, a proposition that often leaves the homeowner with only enough funds for a new oil burner.
There are indications that the insulationists' shrill arguments, threatening legal action if Efficiency Maine does not interpret an ambiguous section of new state law in their favor, are losing sway at the state agency. Also, Efficiency Maine recently made a modest grant to assist the Northern Forest Center's promising Model Neighborhood project, which incentivizes pellet boiler installations in a concentrated area of homeowners.
At any rate, Efficiency Maine has just announced a wide range of incentives designed to reduce both energy demand and heating costs. Pellet stove purchasers will receive a $250 rebate provided the stove is EPA-approved and makeup air is ducted into the unit. Homeowners installing heat pumps or efficient new gas, propane, or oil furnaces will receive $500 rebates. The first 50 homeowners to install pellet boilers meeting HUD Energy Saver standards—or geothermal heat—will receive a $5,000 rebate, which is approximately the incentive amount that has proved most effective in selling pellet boilers.
Our industry up here obviously hopes that this incentive, sales force enthusiasm, the media advertising being done by one boiler firm—Maine Energy Systems—promoting pellet heat in general, and word-of-mouth recognition of our product quality will get us into a sharply upward flight path.

CALGARY — A Calgary woman says she hopes the city will develop a smartphone app enabling riders to report unsafe situations on transit after witnessing 10 youths making racist comments and harassing a CTrain passenger.
Kathleen Angel said she got on the Saddletowne-bound train at the 4th Street S.W. station around 5 p.m. Tuesday when 10 people in their late teens crammed onto the full train.
Soon after they piled in, they started hassling fellow passengers, making it hard for people to get in and out and physically grabbing at them. The teens eventually zeroed in on a young Muslim woman, Angel said.
"They were saying, 'Go back to your country,' " Angel said, adding the youths also spoke loudly about knives, guns and other weapons.
Newer trains have help strips running along the walls of the cars, and, when pushed, can activate cameras so drivers can assess the situation. But this was an older train and the help button was too far for Angel to reach, she said, adding other riders appeared too fearful to take action.
Finally, when one of the youths started urinating on the floor, a young man yelled at him to stop and someone eventually alerted the driver, she said.
The youths got off at Marlborough station and fled before the driver arrived, Angel said. By then, the young woman who was being harassed had also left.
Angel said she'd like to see an app where people can report such incidents to transit security. Ideally the app would be GPS-loaded so security can see where the train is and where the report is coming from, she added.
She said she also wants Calgary Transit to educate the public about not being tolerant of harassment, racism and other disturbances, and hopes to see signs on trains and buses with numbers to call to report incidents.
Brian Whitelaw, co-ordinator of Calgary Transit public safety and enforcement, said they did not receive "a flood of calls" about this incident and it doesn't appear a peace officer was dispatched.
He said his department is looking into the incident.
He added he likes Angel's app suggestion.
"I do like the idea of establishing an app for these types of situations where you've got serious, anti-social behaviour," he said.
These are the types of incidents peace officer are often called to, and he encouraged anyone who witnesses such confrontations to call 911 or Calgary Transit at 403-262-1000.
He said this particular incident sounded serious enough to warrant a 911 call, which would have dispatched police officers and alerted transit security.
Whitelaw recommended that if riders want to make a call for help without drawing attention to themselves, they could get off at the next stop, get onto a different car on the same train, and make the call from there.
"I can appreciate that it can be scary, the risk of drawing attention to themselves — as she identifies — until it becomes so outrageous that more people are motivated (to help)," he said.
He acknowledged that older trains aren't equipped with the help strips along the walls, but urged people to try to activate the button if possible in case of an emergency. They are located near the doors on older trains.
"The key is the operator of the train. Once they become aware, they are the communication link to our peace officers or to the Calgary Police Service, based on what's going on."
Although he does not recommend that people report incidents over Twitter, he said staff monitor Twitter for any incidents. They also monitor all the train platforms and transit stations on a 24-hour basis.
He added staff maintain regular patrols to keep an eye out for incidents like the one Angel described.
"These are the cases we want to essentially reduce if not eliminate," Whitelaw said.

I'm starting to develop a mobile app, and have a first choice name I'd like to use. However the .com domain of the name has already been taken.
Is it actually worth it buying it, or would you tempted to go with CoolNameApp.com or CoolName.net instead?
If you couldn't afford the .com domain name, would you use a different name for the actual app?
Also just to let you know I'm a student with not much money.
Am fascinated to hear your ideas and opinions on the importance of .com domains for mobile apps :-)

- Summary
A good honing steel is essential for keeping knives sharp and at the ready. While most steels can only hone a knife blade, this tool can also gently sharpen it. The key to its impressive performance is the oval shape of the ceramic rod, which optimizes efficiency by exposing more surface area than typical cylindrical steels.
- Maintains the razor-sharp edge of most knife blades between sharpenings; do not use on serrated or scalloped blades.
- Stainless-steel handle is seamlessly constructed and textured for a good grip.
- Dimensions & More Info
- 14 1/2" long overall.
- Made in Japan.
- Use & Care
- Use with straight-edged knives only; not for use with serrated blades.
- Steel length should measure at least as long as the knife being honed.
- Hone knife before each use to maintain the sharpest edge.
- To properly hone the knife, hold it at a 20-degree angle and draw the blade across the steel. Never stroke the same side of blade more than once in succession.
- Should metal filings accumulate on the steel, remove them with a damp cloth.

Rated 1 out of 5 by XOT1 from do NOT BUY this I purchased this item and while using it to sharpen a knife it cracked and broke in half. This was the third time I used it. I contacted Williams Sonoma and they refused to exchange it because it was "outside the return policy." Do not waste your money on what is essentially a piece of stone that is defective.Date published: 2017-03-26Rated 5 out of 5 by GenghisFlan from Great honing steel for japanese knifes Since ceramic takes far less molecular steel particles off of the blade than regular steel honers do, this is a key investment to prolong the life of your treasured knifes. Additionally, this is cheaper than the Shun equivalent and does the same, if not better job. The ergonomic handle with rubber grip-dots is also an understated plus. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE: Because it is made of ceramic, dropping it will result in severe cracking.Date published: 2012-05-09

The objective of the activities under the theme/programme institution and capacity building is to have strong institutions at the community level. To achieve this objective a structured learning and capacity building system is sought to be put in place in the Project. This will broadly include the following activities.
- Preparing roster of resource persons at the state, district, block and village level for different areas of CB.
- Designing modules for the different training programs with the community operations manual (COM) being the base document.
- Organizing key workshops including an introduction to the project and its approach for stakeholders at the state/district/block/panchayat levels and sensitization workshop targeting bankers/financial institutions/public sector/civil society/NGOs.
- Developing key modules and materials including the following:
Training for self help groups (SHGs) and federations on:
i)concepts of SHGs, village organizations (VOs) and block level federations (BLFs),
ii)group processes and management,
iii)microfinance operations including fund management and book keeping,
iv)credit prioritization plan,
v)conflict resolution and
vi)social issues.
- Additional training for members and leaders of SHGs, VOs and BLFs, and Para-professionals.
- Induction module for project staff
- Specific training modules for Block Project Implementation Unit (BPIU), District Coordination Unit (DPCU) and State Project Management Unit (SPMU) staff
Other key activities that will be supported by the project falling under Component - 1 would include:
Panchayat Raj Institutions
The objective of this activity is the sensitization of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), especially at the village panchayat level, in the implementation of Government of Bihar (GoB) sponsored social protection programs like Public Distribution System (PDS), pensions, Integrated Child Development Schemes (ICDS), and National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) to effectively target and be made more inclusive of the poor.
Following the October 2006 PRI election in the state wherein nearly 60% of the positions in the Gram Panchayats had been won by women, many from the target communities, there arose a unique opportunity for the project to work with the PRIs. The project has undertaken activities that involve sensitizing and building capacities of the Panchayat Raj Institutions (PRIs) to enable them to respond positively and this is essential to improve access of the poor to the social protection programs of the GoB. The project will also build the capacity of the poor and poorest in the CBOs to understand the various social protection programs, eligibility criteria and access them. The activities include:
- Sensitization/ Training of "elected" PRI members: Develop a specialized training program including field visits to Other States were the PRI are working closely with CBOs resulting in better outcomes.
- Communication - with the SHG members and the elected officials in the PRI on the citizen rights and obligations.

Community invited to walk for awareness
Even though the challenge may seem insurmountable, awareness brings about change. It is to this cause that the Fifth Annual Suicide Awareness Memorial Walk will be held October 12 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Bethesda Evangelical Lutheran Church in Carlton.
The subject matter is heartbreaking. However, heartache is more bearable when shared.
"We are aware that Carlton County, and may other counties in Northern Minnesota, have some of the highest rates of suicide in the state," said Meghann Condit, Health Educator for Carlton County Public Health and Human Services. "This event allows family and friends who have been impacted by suicide to remember those they have lost, as well as connect with others who have had the same, or a similar, experience."
At present, there is no data for why suicide rates tend to be higher in northern Minnesota counties.
"Suicide is hard to study in that way," said Condit. "The leading causes for suicide attempts are a previous suicide attempt and undiagnosed or untreated mental health issues.
"In knowing we have a high rate, and knowing some of the leading causes, we are working to implement prevention systems to steer people toward help."
The walk is non-competitive. It is meant simply to raise public awareness.
The Suicide Awareness Memorial Walk was organized by members of the Carlton County Suicide Prevention Task Force. Jo Angell is a mother who experienced the loss of her son to suicide. She has been involved with the local Carlton County Suicide Prevention Task Force since its beginning.
"This walk has been an important focus and connection for me," said Angell. "It has been very helpful to have a special day where people come together, supporting each other and walking in remembrance of our loved ones; publicly stating the seriousness of suicide. We're all there for the same reason."
The event is not a fundraiser.
"We decided not to make this walk a fundraiser because we want people to feel like they can come honor the memory of their loved one without any strings attached," said Condit. "We want it to be an event where they can honor their loved ones, connect with others who have had similar experiences, and raise awareness for prevention. We have taken donations in the past, which we have put toward suicide prevention activities in the county and region, but do not ask for, or require, those donations."
The event is supported by a federal grant from the Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) called TXT4Life.
"TXT4Life has worked with the Minnesota affiliate of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL) to add texting capabilities to their call center," said Condit. "Text counselors answer texts from youth and young adults who are in a suicidal crisis by simply listening to their needs, providing counseling, and referring them to local resources.
"TXT4Life has become an extension of our mental health system; a bridge to services such as school linked mental health, crisis response teams, and/or services that otherwise may not have been accessed."
Additional information on suicide awareness, suicide education and TXT4Life will be available at the Memorial Walk on October 12. The walk (about 35 minutes) will be followed by refreshments and a short educational/remembrance presentation by Angie Cook, a local Parent Survivor.
According to Condit, participants of the Memorial Walk typically include people from the local area, as well as some from neighboring counties and around the state. They are family members, friends, human service and mental health workers, and many others whose lives have been affected by suicide or an attempt.
Participants may wear something with the name of picture of the person they are honoring. They will also have the opportunity to tie a ribbon on the banner that will be carried on the walk in memory of their loved one.
"In raising awareness to the public," said Condit, "we have more people who are educated in looking for the warning signs of suicide and becoming more ready, willing, and able to help someone who might be in crisis.
"We are working to reduce the stigma so that people who are in crisis feel like they can reach out for help without criticism. Suicide is the most preventable kind of death, so, by educating and training the community, we have more people knowing that they can help in the time of a crisis."
For more information, call Meghann Condit at (218) 879-4511.

I will cut to the chase: this post is on the engagement of a Christian with what passes for art in contemporary culture.
Much ink has been spilled, or pixels arranged, over the Harry Potter books, to begin with. I admit that I read all of them, and enjoyed them, although progressively less as the series continued to develop. By the end, it was merely a matter of reading to "find out what happens." Throughout their publication, aside from the general worldwide mania, the scores of translations, the betting on plot developments, the development into motion pictures, and all manner of merchandising, there have been consistent voices among Christians, either praising the books for their Christian subtext, or denouncing them for their superficial secularism and making witchcraft "cool" to kids. Both approaches were quite misguided, I believe.
To begin with the pro-Potter Christian perspective, one can only say that the efforts seemed rather desparate. Though Ms Rowling may be a Christian–quite the progressive one, it seems–her books are certainly not Christian. No one really argues with that. It is in the manner of certain thematic or narrative devices that the pro-Potter Christians center their praise for the books. Yet, I will be blunt. The appropriation of Christian themes of sacrifice and redemption, very, very real things to a Christian, are appropriated by an author as devices to be utilized in a plot narrative in an entirely fictional world. This in itself is a cheapening, a gutter-slumming of the great work of God for the world, which appropriates rather blatantly those themes. Yet there is a greater wretchedness at work in this.
What happens when your children no longer are able to recognize that sacrifice, redemption, and selfless love belong outside the pages of fiction? When they open their Bibles, and read of the work of God throughout the ages in history, real work in the lives of many real people of real nations, will they not be subconsciously reading fiction? "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." It works both ways, you know, that training. If you train up your child to think that redemption is a fictional plot device, well, then, there you go–time to be fitted for a necktie in the pattern "millstone." In that sense, the anti-Potter side wasn't attentive enough, as it only decried the superficial inanities, while leaving the misappropriations of salvation history alone.
Now we are confronted with the motion picture serialization of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials series of books, a motion picture which appears to be beautifully well-done, with some very well-known actors and fantastic special effects. This is a man who bears a visceral hatred for Christianity, and kills God in the third of his books. Granted, so as to ensure the movie will be viewed by more than Pullman's fellow-travellers on the militant atheistic road, the name of the big, bad organization is changed from "The Church" to "The Magisterium." Hollywood, clueless as ever in matters of fact, thought that would make things more palatable to the American public, ignorant (or are they?) of the fact that "magisterium" is the name given to the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. They are completely within their rights to boycott. As would Jews be had they chosen "Rabbinate" or Muslims had they chosen "Ummah." Of course, Roman Catholics calling for a boycott of the movie have earned the label "nitwits" from Pullman for their efforts. How progressive of him! How concerned for the welfare of the world, roughly 1/3 of which is Christian, and the vast majority of those Roman Catholic!
WIth these books, and this move, the mask is off. Hatred for God, for Christ, for the Christian Way, live with a burning passion in the author's heart. There is no good that can come from any Christian poisoning their heart and mind with such things. Oh, you may think you're immune to the dangers, and can discuss the misappropriation of Christian themes with the kids after they've seen the flying witches and the talking bears. But you fail in your Christian responsibility as a citizen of the Kingdom of God by allowing yourself and your children to partake of the ideas of and simultaneously enrich and encourage an antichrist, which this Pullman creature self-admittedly is.
Yes, yes, many will say, "Well, that's a bit over the top. It's just a book, just a movie." No. It's a symptom. It's a symptom of a culture's abandonment of its Christian roots, bit by bit, piece by piece, book by book, movie by movie, "art"work by "art"work. It is apostasy by half-turns and half-steps, a shy shuffle off the narrow and difficult Way onto the wide and well-paved road leading not to the Kingdom of God, but…elsewhere. "It's easier walking, you know, and look how beautiful it is. Really well done. Everyone's doing it…walking on this road…reading this book…seeing this movie."
These things are not just whited sepulchres filled with putrefaction, but beatifully painted many-colored sepulchres, using the highest quality artistic talent the world has ever seen, and filled not just with putrefaction, but annihilation. And so the world slips inch by inch into an ever more chic darkness, with the cold and clear hatred and satisfaction of the prince thereof as its only company.

there are so many of us
i watched a show on bbc last night about a nomadic turkish family
raising goats on a mountain plateau. the women bake bread all day.
they have dreams. they have broken hearts. and they sometimes laugh.
there are so many of us here on earth... too many of us for anyone to know us all... and there is a little eye on each of us... there is a little eye on every thing... we all have cares and worries... and every worry matters the same... i am trying to remember that worries are just thoughts... they can be changed into bunnies.
there will always be a little bit of mud on your new shoes. freckles appear out of thin air. how will i observe them? i will change them into bunnies. mud can become bunnies with the blink of an eye.
there are so many of us... too many of us to count... we are stuffed into white buildings one on top of the other. we sit by the water or fire... and we wander in the woods... and we are woven into the fabric of everything living and everything that has ever lived... we are one big quilt... we are grounded... i am a square sewn to many other squares. today i will decorate my own quilt square with candles and incense. strawberries, lavender and wool. its the only thing i can do ♥
stay tiny & turn mud into bunnies.

lamby is sleeping on my vintage quilt.
he gets excited because it is feather-stuffed.
it makes him act all hopped up.
the bias tape on my basket is a liberty fabric.
i just went to liberty in london for the first time
and my mind got blown right out my head ♥

'... but there is a little eye on each of us. there is a little eye on everything. it is our own eye.'
sometimes other eyes too... it's too lonely otherwise! though i don't want to negate the next bit... all worries mattering just as much. but community, community is important, even as people seem to grow further and further apart.
- 9 June 2010 at 08:40
- stephanie dosen said...
ah yes! of course the BIG EYE.. is our own eye too... our own eye is every eye...
we just see a little part of it...
i didnt get to the point did i?
i think ill edit it.
yes editing is BRAVE ♥

I watched that, though found the woman they sent over from england to experiance their way of living unbareable. I think sometimes I would be very happy just to bake bread all day and have real worries vanish into thoughts of bunnies.

A lovely post! I saw that programme, the english girl did so well didn't she? The family were so sad when she had to leave. Those fabrics in your photos are so pretty.xx

that program really hit me!
when the mother said she had a broken heart and that "it hurts every day" (that her husband chose a 2nd wife) i really felt for her...
there she is on a dirt floor
making bread.
raising goats
sleeping 9 to a tent.
with a broken heart.
the look in her eyes when the english girl left was unbearable... she really loved her... she pinned so much hope on her... i think i cried for a half an hour when she left...

I don't know the program, but the sadness seeps into me from your words. In a crowded room you can feel lonely and alone on a mountain you can feel peace.
Hugs to you and the kitties :)

i watched a documentary today, about a man who lived in the mountains and made moonshine. he was arrested (at the age of 70) and died in jail. i cried for a while. and then i made dinner.
- 9 June 2010 at 22:54
I wish I could have all the time back I have spent suffering from a broken heart. I wouldn't care if I had to spend that time raising goats and baking bread. At the end of their lives, women realize the time spent with other women and friends and their children is what counts most. Even if it is nine to a tent.

ah! i forgot to show you my super-nerd glasses!!!!
i got them at topshop i couldnt resist
they are perfect because when i put

i do so love the thought of us all, squares sewn to many others. when we were tiny our grandmother would wrap us up in her big beautiful multi coloured, patchwork blanket for comfort & we would fall off to sleep with the sound of her gentle voice singing in our ears. would that we could wrap this blanket of humanity about us, each & every one of us and all feel loved & blessed & safe. x beautiful post x

Just fall in love with all your knitting patterns and tidy little beauties all over. (Unfortunatly I don't have yet the level skill to do them...)
To look around on your blog is like to take a visit in a fairy country.

One of Mertens' theorems gives that
$$\sum_{ p \text{ prime,} p \leq k } 1/p - \log{\log{k}} = B + E(k)$$
where $B$ is a constant near $0.26$ in value and $E(k)$ is an error term whose size is dominated by something close to $4/\log{k}$, when $k$ is large enough to make the sum meaningful.
I want to work with partial sums of the above with $j \lt p \leq k$, so that I can say the partial sum of the reciprocals of primes greater than $j$ and at most $k$ is $\log{(\log{k}/\log{j})} + E(j,k)$ where $j$ is not too small (perhaps $j \gt 3$ or $5$), $k$ not too large, say $j^\alpha \lt k \lt j^\beta$ where often $1 \lt \alpha \lt \beta \lt e$, and $E(j,k)$ is comfortably small. Unfortunately $4[1/\log{k} + 1/\log{j}]$ looks too big for me; I am hoping to have (for large enough $j$) $E(j,k)$ bounded by something that is $O(1/j)$ or better.
I have access to Mark Villarino's treatment of Mertens' theorem. As of 2005, it seems $E(k)$ is no better than $O(1/\log{k}^2)$ I also hope to obtain recent work of Pintz and Diamond on oscillations ia related formula which is Mertens product formula, but I do not see yet how it will me help me with this formula.
As I am still a tyro at number theory, I don't even know how realistic my hopes are for $E(j,k)$ to be $O(1/j)$. Can someone who is familiar with the recent literature give me a guide post? Either references or heuristics showing what sort of bounds to expect for $E(j,k)$ or even $E(k)$ would be welcome.
UPDATE 2012.07.24 I want to acknowledge the contributions of joro, Christian Elsholtz, and Eric Naslund. joro and Eric helped me realize that expecting $O(x^{-1/2})$ error even conditionally is expecting a bit much, and Christian helped me realize that Dusart still has some nice unconditional refinements. I will likely accept Christian's answer, but not before I do some computations of my own. In particular, Rosser and Schoenfeld have in Theorem 20 of their 1962 paper on functions relating to primes a nice difference of $2/(x^{1/2}\log x)$ which is valid for $1 \lt x \lt 10^8$ between lower and upper estimates for the sum of interest, and I may end up using or refining that estimate in combination with Dusart's results for larger $x$ for my own nefarious purposes. I am hoping in particular that the oscillations will be slow enough that my desired partial sums from $j$ to $j^\alpha$ will have very small error. END UPDATE 2012.07.24

A&E Center Opens with a Splash
Competition in the new Athletics and Events Center kicked off with meets for both the men's and women's swimming and diving teams. Both Bomber teams won in a tri-meet against the State University of New York at New Paltz and Fredonia.
In January, the men's and women's track teams both saw success at the Empire 8 Indoor Track & Field Championships. Both teams won their fifth straight conference title in the new Glazer Arena in the A&E Center.
