We received this letter recently from Mary B, who recieves hot meals from Meals on Wheels People 7 days a week:
"Thank you so much for your meal deliveries. Up until six months ago, I was getting around fine -- driving, shopping, cooking -- until I came down with vertigo and was reduced to nothing! My friends came to my rescue and insisted I sign up for Meals on Wheels and now everything is getting better. I like your meals and, since I cannot get out to go grocery shopping, they make a big difference. I never thought I would live to be age 92! Thank you for everything."
Mary is typical of many of those we serve. She is widowed, lives on her own and has little access to fresh food. Our hot, weekday and weekend meals allow her to remain independent and living in her own home. The volunteer driver is often the only person Mary will see on an average day. The Meals on Wheels driver not only delivers a hot, nutritious meal, but provides a wellness check to ensure that Mary is okay every day. The cost of providing a daily hot meal to a homebound senior is just $1,320 annually, while the cost of institutional care can be $60,000 or more for a year.
Between Feb. 15 and May 15, 2015, Meals on Wheels People served and delivered more than 317,500 meals to older adults in the greater Portland-Vancouver metro area. We are very grateful to the donors through Global Giving who help make that possible.
"Sam" is widowed and lives alone. After her husband died suddenly, she found herself lonely and depressed. She began to attend the the senior meal site in Gresham, Oregon where she was soon engaged as a daily volunteer.
"There is no question that the people at the Ambleside Center were a lifeline for me and helped me through my depression," Sam said. "Before I knew it, I was volunteering! I can't do the whole job – I know I have limitations – but I do what I can and they welcome what skills I do have."
Sam recently fell at home and broke a couple of ribs and is now receiving Meals on Wheels. "I'm seeing the program from an entirely different angle now," she said with a laugh. "Some of the volunteers I saw at the center every day are now delivering my meals. It's interesting to see the different personalities of the drivers. I can see how a little friendly visit can make a world of difference to a homebound senior."
Sam is one of thousands of seniors we serve daily -- and who depend on Meals on Wheels for both daily sustenance and a friendly visit. This service is even more vital for those, like Sam, who receive meals on the weekends as well. They typically have no access to fresh food other than what the Meals on Wheels People volunteer brings them. For many, the only whole fruit they see is what comes in their lunch. The cost of providing a year of meals to a homebound senior is $1,320 while the cost of institutional care is upwards of $60,000 annually. Meals on Wheels allows seniors to age in place, enriching our neighborhoods and allowing them to maintain their dignity. We are very appreciative of the many donations that have come in from Global Giving to help us maintain this program.
Our participant surveys indicate that 20% of the seniors who receive Weekend Meals are eating only one meal a day - the one we bring them. These seniors would go hungry on the weekends if not for the Weekend Meal Program. We received this note from a senior who receives weekend meals: "Thank you so much for coming to my rescue. You do a good deed and I hope people see the good you do."
More than 25% of those we serve live at or below poverty and most do not have access to fresh food. Our hot,nutritious meals not only provide them with 1/3 of the RDA for an older adult, but include fresh, whole fruit like oranges and pears. Hot weekend meals allow frail, homebound seniors to remain independent and living in their own homes. Many chronic conditions can be aided by a nutritious diet.The cost to provide a year of meals to a homebound senior is $1,320 while the cost of a year in a nursing home is upwards of $60,000.
The number of seniors requesting Meals on Wheels has increased bynearly 8% in the last year. An interesting trend is that a large part of this increase is among "younger" seniors age 60 to 69. Most have not prepared financially for retirement and they are sicker than those the same age a decade ago. As baby boomers continue to age, we have the capacity to expand our program to meet the growing need. This is due, in part, to the generous donations like those that come from Global Giving. We are grateful for your support of seniors in our community.
A weekend meal client recently sent us this note: "It is so comforting to know that I will be getting a good hot meal every day, especially since cooking for myself is more of a challenge. What I look froward to the most is seeing the people who deliver my meals. They are so friendly and helpful and I am so lonely."
Hot weekend meals for homebound seniors is more than just a meal. It is a connection to the outside world, a friendly smile, a hug, a lifeline for those that are isolated and living in poverty. For the seniors we serve in this program, the meal we bring is often their only food of the day and the volunteer driver is their only visit of the day. Hot weekend meals allow frail, homebound seniors to remain independent and living in their own homes. The cost of Meals on Wheels for a year is $1,320 while the cost of a year in institutional care is upwards of $60,000.
We continue to deliver hot weekend meals to homebound seniors as well as provide chilled, take-home weekend meals for seniors at our 34 neighborhood dining centers who request them. As baby boomers continue to age and enter the ranks of retirement, we are adapting our program to meet their needs. More than 50% of those who eat in our dining rooms are requesting take-home meals for the weekends. This is due partly to the rising rate of poverty among those 60 and older (upwards of 25%) and the fact that many have no source of fresh food for a variety of reasons (food deserts, poverty, living alone, etc.).
We are extremely grateful to Global Giving and its donors for helping us continue to provide this very basic service to vulnerable seniors in our community.
Meals on Wheels People continues to provide hot, nutritious meals to homebound seniors throughout the greater Portland-Vancouver metro area. Our recent client surveys have shown that a large number of homebound seniors rely on the meals we provide for the bulk of their nutrition each day. While our core service is hot meal delivery Monday through Friday, most of our 3,000 daily clients now receive two frozen meals each Friday. Those who are the most frail or have no ability to prepare a hot meal receive hot weekend meals.
We are expanding our weekend meal program to include the 2,000 seniors who dine each weekday at our 34 neigborhood centers. For the first time in our 44 years of service, client surveys indicate that seniors are motivated to come into the centers for the meal rather than the fellowship. This is a major shift. And, more than 50% of the diners are requesting take-home meals for the weekend. We are ramping up our production and seeking additional funding from foundations and corporations to cover the additional cost of weekend meals.
Since 2002, Meals on Wheels People has been preparing for the onslaught of baby boomers. That day has come. Each day we add more seniors to our rolls and the majority of the new diners are between the ages of 60 and 69. This group of seniors is poorer and sicker than those we serve who are much older. Many baby boomers were unprepared financially for retirement and have chronic illnesses that prevent them from leaving their homes. We anticipate that these numbers will continue to grow as baby boomers retire in the coming decade.
We received this letter just last week from a senior:
We wish to thank you for the beautiful Easter card and more so for the generosity of the good people who deliver the tasty and wonderful meals we enjoy. Thank you and God bless you!
We are very grateful to the Global Giving donors who allow us to continue to deliver hot meals and companionship to frail, homebound seniors in our community.

The Komodo National Park is a national park in Indonesia. It is on several islands in the Lesser Sunda Islands. The park is in the area between the East Nusa Tenggara and West Nusa Tenggara provinces. The park includes three larger islands: Komodo, Padar and Rincah. It also includes 26 smaller ones[1] for a total area of 1,733 km² (603 km² of it land). The national park was founded in 1980 to protect the Komodo dragon. This animal is the world's largest lizard.[3] Later it began protecting other species, including some in the ocean. In 1991 the national park was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Geography and climate[change | change source]
The park is spread over several islands. It includes part of western coast of Flores, the three larger islands of Komodo, Padar, Rincah, and 26 smaller islands. It also includes ocean areas such as the Sape Straights. The islands of the national park are volcanic. The land is generally rugged, with some rounded hills[3] to 735m.[1] The climate is one of the driest of Indonesia. Each year between 800mm and 1000mm of rain falls in the park area. Temperatures in the dry season from May to October are around 40 °C.[3]
Plants and animals[change | change source]
The Park is hot and dry. There are many savannah plants that make it a good place for the Komodo dragon.[1]
Cloud forests are in only a few areas above 500 metres. These forests are good places for some local plants. There are mangrove forests in some of the quiet bays of the three larger islands.[3]
Large and complex coral reefs are along the north-east coast of Komodo.[3] The park has many animals that live in the ocean, including whale sharks, ocean sunfish, manta rays, eagle rays, pygmy seahorse, false pipefish, clown frogfish, nudibranchs, blue-ringed octopus, sponges, tunicates, and coral.
Conservation[change | change source]
The island of Padar and part of Rinca were made nature reserves in 1938. Komodo Island became a nature reserve in 1965. UNESCO also began to protect the island in 1977. The three islands were named a national park in 1980,. The park was extended to include the nearby parts of the ocean and a part of Flores in 1984.[3] In 1991 the national park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since 1995, the national park authority has been supported by an American environmental organization called The Nature Conservancy (TNC).
Komodo National Park has been selected as one of 28 finalists to become one of the New7Wonders of Nature.[4]
People living in the park and tourism[change | change source]
About 4,000 people live within the park. Scuba diving is popular because of the many different kinds of life living in the water. Ecotourism in the ocean is the main way to get money to support the park
However, several fishermen died since the 1980s. People disagree about what happened to them. Park patrol and military said they needed to protect themselves. Fishermen living in the area say the park management killed the fishermen on purpose.[5]

There's no such thing as priority, and neither precedence nor associativity define the order in which stuff is evaluated. They determine what is an operand of what operator. Operand evaluation order is what controls the order in which stuff is evaluated. In order to provide short-circuiting, && evaluates its LHS operand before its RHS. Same goes for ||. Given apple must be evaluated before banana || cherry
So we get:

DaphneMystery teasers are little stories where you need to figure out what happened based on the given clues.
Carol Greenthumb had spent many years growing her prized and beloved Daphne odoras. They are beautiful flowered shrubs. These wonderful plants are perfect for the dry, hot area that Mrs. Greenthumb lives in, as they need little water, and they are her favorite plants.
Carol had to go on a month-long vacation and she had a dilemma. She needs someone to watch her garden to make sure that all the plants were taken care of. She decided to let her coworker, Maybelle Flower, watch the garden. Mrs. Greenthumb gave Maybelle very specific instructions on the care of the yard and told her to be very careful with the expensive Daphne odoras. When Mrs. Greenthumb returned from her vacation, Maybelle was in the yard with the police detectives and the prized shrubs were missing. Maybelle was telling the detective that someone must have stolen the expensive plants because they had just been there the night before. Mrs. Greenthumb overheard her co-worker saying that she had taken care of the plants all month. Maybelle said that she had watered them every day and they were more beautiful then ever. At that moment, Carol Greenthumb interrupted and told the detective to arrest Maybelle. How did Mrs. Greenthumb know it was Maybelle that took the plants? What Next?

Where did you find this photo and is that a canal directly in front of the Capitol? I am interested in the details – what do you think was happening in that tent?

Here's an interesting observation: approx/ where the Library of Congress is today was the Old Capitol Prison.

I think this is the Washington City Canal which is related to the Lock Keepers cottage that is on Constitution.
David Fielding
I didn't see this post last week. Interesting photo of the Washington City Canal, which essentially connected with the C&O although barges ran along the Potomac from the incline plane near Georgetown to where the lockhouse is at 17th. It ran the length of what became Constitution ave (B street). Two lotteries around 1795 authorized construction, but didn't raise adequate funds (I have two original signed lottery tickets). A groundbreaking ceremony was held on Nov. 21, 1815. Excavation continued for 3 decades with only modest traffic by the 1850's. Politics continued to plague the canal and it was a safety and health hazard. It was mostly filled in by 1880. For more details, check the Columbia Historical Society.

Jewish World Review August 31, 2005 / 26 Av, 5765 Booking ahead to year 2015 By Lenore Skenazy
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
By now, summer is winding down and so, probably, is that John Grisham book you started in June. But what will you be reading the summer of 2015?
"Harry Potter and the Half-Crazed Cubicle Partner" Now in his eighth year at the Ministry of Magic, an increasingly pudgy Potter struggles with a Dementor-infested copying machine, ministry-wide restrictions on personal E-owl and, most vexingly, his office mate, Parvati Patil, who calls him "Hotty Potty," and is constantly climbing into his (ample) lap only to giggle, slap him and fly back to her desk. Recommended only for those who loved "Harry Potter and the Help Desk Cabal."
"The Da Spirito Code" Having lost all interest in what he calls "stupid conspiracy theories" and "old Christian hooey," author Dan Brown turns from writing to cooking in '08. In this, his first novel since the hiatus, Brown roars back with a white-knuckle search for an ancient herb used by maverick monks in medieval France to perk up parsnip stews.
"The 5 Trillion People You Meet in Purgatory" They're all here and all inspiring . . . more or less. The inner city violin teacher who failed to report her tutoring income to the IRS. The baker who always gave bread to the homeless but once told his mother to "Can it!" when she started gushing about his brother's new Lexus again. The lovable old lady who stole a roll of toilet paper from the senior center. Lots of stories, lots of regret and, all told, a rather sobering read.
"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Authors" Sit down. Start typing. Simplify. Everything you need to know to become a best-selling business guru PLUS another 26 madeup anecdotes and a couple of bar graphs. Highly recommended for office bookshelves.
"Who Moved My Leg?" Coping with change and ambush amputation in the increasingly cutthroat world of office politics.
"French Men Don't Get Bald" And did we mention French children don't get cavities? And French dogs don't get meatball breath? More nyah-nyahs from across the sea.
"Rich Dad, Rich Granddad" The real story of how to get ahead.
"The World is Fat" Thomas Friedman's other big revelation.
"The South Bronx Diet" No more mesclun!
"Leakonomics" Tips from Karl Rove.
"Geekonomics" Tips from Bill Gates.
"Peekomonics" Tips from Hugh Hefner.
"Sheikonomics" Tips from the Saudi royal family.
"Batikonomics" Tips from fabric makers in Indonesia.
"Battlecreekonomics" Tips from Snap, Crackle and Pop.
"Meekonomics" Tips for inheriting the Earth (eventually, but first the Rich Dad, Rich Granddad folks are going to win for awhile).

Tabular form calculated summary row
CJ Bell
Jan 7, 2013 2:52 PM
Hopefully this may be a quick question with either a yes or a no
I have a tabular form with columns
Project Name , Wk1 , Wk2 , Wk3 etc ,
basically so PM's can track the hours against a project
I have used the sum checkboxes to create a summary row
but they also want a row that calculates how many hours remaining for each week under the week no cols , obviously subtracted ffrom the hours budget for each week assigned to the project and person
I've done the summary and calculation in a view but this isn't acceptable as a UNION query in a tabular form
I've also tried another region under the Tabular form but as the project name is a variable length its not easy keeping the Wk cols aligned
thanks in advance
I have the same question

You can't beat STALKER. I've tried pretty much every game out there but, I've found none that put me where this game does. I start playing and get lost in a world that can be both beautiful and terrifying. I remember my first visit to the Yantar lab in SHOC. It was in the early hours of the morning, I was using headphones while sneaking around the lab. The atmosphere had me on the edge of my seat. Ten seconds later something totally unexpected happened and put my heart in my mouth. I paused the game, shaking like a little child and from that moment on for me it has been the stick by which all games are measured. And sadly they just don't measure up. STALKER is a thousand games in one. Set in a constantly changing, evolving world. The only time any two playthroughs are the same is when you hit that ENTER THE ZONE button at the start of the game.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Tests or Guidelines
At this time there are no screening tests or screening guidelines for peptic ulcers, though because of the relationship between peptic ulcers and the bacteria "H. pylori," screening for the latter might prove possible. Some data supports screening for bacterial infection, but not specifically for peptic ulcer disease.

(1), the American "Declaration of Independence" (1776)(2), The US Constitution (1787)(3) and the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights" (1948)(4). As Stefan Gosepath (2007) explained, "This fundamental idea of equal respect for all persons and of the equal worth or equal dignity of all human beings ... is accepted as a minimal standard by all leading schools of modern Western political and moral culture." It has not always been so.
The history of equality from antiquity onward reveals that the notion of equality has been considered a constitutive feature of justice whether in its formal, proportional or moral sense. Until the 18th century, human beings were considered unequal by nature, an idea that collapsed with the introduction of the notion of natural right first developed by the Stoics and later in the New Testament Bible and both the Hebraic and Islamic traditions. The principle of natural equality only became recognized in the modern period beginning in the 17th century in the tradition of natural law as defined by Hobbes and Locke and in social contract theory first postulated by Rousseau. Kant's categorical imperative formulates the equality postulate of universal human worth and the idea is taken up formally in declarations and modern constitutions, notably the French "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen" (1789) ("Déclaration des droits de l'Homme et du Citoyen")The landmark US Supreme Court decision of May 17, 1954, Brown v. the Board of Education, was a turning point for the US. The case initiated the modern civil rights movement. Chief Justice Warren delivered the opinion of the court: "We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other 'tangible' factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does ... We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." And he prefaced his opinion with the following statement:
Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments. Compulsory school attendance laws and the great expenditures for education both demonstrate our recognition of the importance of education to our democratic society. It is required in the performance of our most basic public responsibilities, even service in the armed forces. It is the very foundation of good citizenship. Today it is a principal instrument in awakening the child to cultural values, in preparing him for later professional training and in helping him to adjust normally to his environment. In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.[5]
As the Brown Foundation web site summary makes clear: "From the earliest times in American history, the US educational system mandated separate schools for children based solely on race. In many instances, the schools for African American children were substandard facilities with out-of-date textbooks and insufficient supplies." The first documented school desegregation case goes back to 1849 (Roberts v. City of Boston).(6) Yet, as James D. Anderson (2004) said, "A half century after the US Supreme Court found that segregated schools are inherently unequal, there is growing evidence that the nation's public schools are becoming more segregated and that academic achievement is becoming more unequal." He concluded with the comment: "The promises of Brown are unfulfilled and the nation has to face up to this reality. Let us not evade the problems by making African Americans the scapegoats for the nation's failure and giving them yet another cross to bear" (p. 371). His early work examined the ideological and institutional nature of schooling in the black South detailing the fact that "former slaves were the first among native southerners to depart from the planters' ideology of education and society and to campaign for universal, state-supported public education" (Anderson, 1988: 4).
The dream of educational equality was incorporated into early prototypes of the "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen." Bergström (2010) indicates the right to education is seen as a second-generation right developing when social rights became prominent in the second half of the 19th century ... first in national normative instruments and later, in the second half of the 20th century, in international declarations and conventions.
The contemporary debate about equality goes back to Bernard Williams' (1962) paper, which was taken up by Robert Nozick who criticized Williams and attacked equalitarian ideals. John Rawls' (1971) "A Theory of Justice" as an egalitarian theory of justice is clearly the central work in political philosophy even if debate has focused more around the work of Ronald Dworkin (1981 a, b) and increasingly also Amartya Sen (1973; 1980; 1982; 1992). As Jonathan Wolff (2005) reminded us, much of the philosophical work over the last couple of decades has been done in response to Nozick, noting that responses have paid "too much attention to issues of individual responsibility, choice and fairness and neglecting the traditional egalitarian concerns of respect for individuality social division, oppression and domination and, indeed, how to bring about improvements to the world we actually live in."
In "The Spirit Level," Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett (2009), two epidemiologists, argued, "Why More Equal Societies Almost Always Do Better."(7) It is a book that took the UK by storm and gained admirers from both sides of the House. The publication of their book followed on the heels of the worst financial crisis since the Second World War, after a ruinous spate of neoliberal policies that aggrandized the market as the main instrument for allocation of scarce public resources and embarked on wholesale privatization strategy. They have discovered that epidemiological research on the common roots of deprivation suggest that the problems are "all more common in more unequal countries":
Among the rich market economies of the world, there are stark differences in income inequality. Among the more equal societies are the Nordic countries and Japan, where the incomes of the top 20% are 3-4 times as big as the incomes of the poorest 20%. Among the more unequal societies are countries like the US, Portugal and the UK, where the richest 20% are 8 or 9 times as rich as the poorest 20%. It looks then as if the problems associated with deprivation within a country all become more frequent as material differences increase (Wilkinson and Pickett, 2010 a:5).
They showed "no fewer than five sets of data illustrating that, whether you classify people by education, social class or income, people in each category are healthier (or have higher literacy scores) if they are in a more equal society than people in the same category of income, education or class in a less equal society" (2010b). They go on to argue that "inequality damages social relationships. Measures of trust and social cohesion are higher and violence is lower in more equal societies. And similarly, studies show the reason that rates of imprisonment have increased in more unequal countries" (2010a:8). In the same article they posted the following data from David DeGraw:
- The US has the highest inequality rate in the industrialized world.
- The top 1% now owns over 70% of all financial assets.
- From 1980 to 2006 the richest 1% of Americans tripled their after-tax income while the bottom 90% lost 20%.
- CEOs in 1970 earned $25 to 1 for the average worker. Today it is $500 to 1. [cited, p. 8]
Their conclusion is that what matters is not absolute standards of living, but the differences between us. Paraphrasing them further: "Greater inequality increases the need for big government" and for expensive services that are only partially effective. "The assumption that greater equality can only be achieved through higher taxes and benefits.... is also a mistake." "There are few things more corrosive of a properly functioning democracy and of the market than corruption and unbridled greed" (2000 b). For national welfare, the choice is clear: either a more unequal society based on the market society of the US with its growing social and health problems or the model of the Nordic countries where the incomes of the top 20 percent are only three to four times as big as the incomes of the poorest 20 percent, rather than eight to nine times higher as in the US. New Zealand and Australia in the last thirty years has tended to follow the example of Anglo-American neoliberal policies that have had the effect of increasing inequalities rather than diminishing them.(8)
One of the strongest implications is that, when it comes to rewriting policies, governments need to focus on the "ecology of equality," on the network of relationships between poverty and deprivation and its generational consequences.

Real incomes for lower and middle income families fell while rich households saw their incomes soar. Working for Families and an increase in the top tax rate to 39% reversed 15 years of rising inequality. The effect was short-lived, however and we now seem to be caught in a period of rising inequality once again." On neoliberalism with special reference to New Zealand see Peters (2011).

So, remember my last post saying I was so proud of myself for keeping up with my December Daily? Well, that was then and this is now. LOL. I've fallen by the wayside. This week started a new chapter in my life. I've gone back to work full time. I'll be teaching 4 year olds until the end of the school year. It's a great opportunity and I'm really enjoying it so far. (Except for the fact that I've gotten sick - that sucks!) But, my scrapping time has been impacted. So, I haven't gotten any more DD pages done. I am bound and determined to catch up, though.
In scrappy news, this week for the Crate blog, we are sharing Christmas ornaments. I love making Tussy Mussys for the holidays and came up with this one.
I used CP Sleigh Ride on here and wanted to use lots of pink and aqua.
I fan folded some paper to make the cuff along the top of the cone then I added some chipboard to the front.
Some floral picks and chipboard were placed inside the cone. You can hang these on your tree. Or you can do what I did and hang it on a closet door and have your cat come along and rip it down. LOL.
Here's another project I did recently. I made this little tag set for Emma's using a lot of Carta Bella goodies.
I added a Crate vellum pocket to this one along with an Elle's Studio pennant.
I wrapped all of the tags in this glassine bag and added some BG Aspen Frost goodies to it.
That's it for today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Survivor: One World
Sabrina Thompson: 'Survivor: One World's jury voted like they should
By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski, 05/16/2012
Sabrina Thompson made it to
: One World's Final 3 but finished as the runner-up and just missed out on the $1 million grand prize during the live portion of Sunday night's finale broadcast on CBS.
Sabrina, a 33-year-old high school teacher from Brooklyn, NY, was beaten out by
: One World champion Kim Spradlin, a 29-year-old bridal shop owner from San Antonio, TX, but won out over Chelsea Meissner, a 26-year-old in medical sales from Charleston, SC, in the season's final jury voting results, which
Jeff Probst
revealed live during the episode.
Sabrina received two votes from Troy "Troyzan" Robertson and Leif Manson, while Kim received the rest. Chelsea unfortunately got herself zero votes from the jury.
During a Monday conference call with reporters, Sabrina talked to Reality TV World about her
: One World experience -- including whether she's bitter about Kim's victory, how much of a role she believed Kim's immunity wins played in getting seven of the nine jury votes, why she thought Troyzan ultimately voted for her, what the reasoning was behind her getting rid of her hidden Immunity Idol so soon in the game, and how she surprisingly and unintentionally ended up on
Above is the first portion of Sabrina's call. Check back with Reality TV World in the coming days for the concluding portion. To begin reading Kim's interview,

Reality TV World: I know you said you never considered voting Kim out, but how big a role do you think Kim's four Immunity Challenge wins in a row played in her victory as far as the jury voting went and the fact you ended up with only a couple jury votes instead of the five you needed.
Sabrina Thompson:
You know, every Tribal Council, we came back and she's sporting this big-ass necklace. The jury, they're alpha males, and a lot of them are just like, "Wow, another win?!" And you can just see it in their eyes, and honestly, I think she could've literally walked in the finals because they were a bitterless jury.
She could've walked in, not said a word and still won. I really do. Her actions solely spoke for herself, and you know, whereas I had to take the other route. I had to talk my head off just to get a few votes. And so, everybody plays the game differently. Everybody has a different GPS of how they get to the final destination.
You have to applaud her, and so -- but you know, the final Tribal Council, that's your time to get your shine on and talk about your strategy, and you just hope you get some votes -- enough to win. But yeah, I think the guys at the end of the day, they voted how
should be played.
You get sometimes in past seasons bitter juries. You see like an assh-le win, you know, because they're just so bitter. And at the end of the day, it is a game. And I think they did the honorable and the right thing, so I'm not bitter at all. I'm so glad that that girl won and she's going down in
Reality TV World: So do you think Kim misread the jury? Because she seemed to expect that they were going to be bitter going into it. That seemed to be her biggest concern.
Sabrina Thompson:
Right, because there's a lot of stuff that you guys don't see -- a lot of comments that you don't hear -- and you know, you never know, especially Troy, Troy didn't vote for her.
And so. you never know. Once someone gets voted off, what the heck they're going back to Ponderosa and saying. Are they being very persuasive and God knows I was hoping that Troy would go back and just, "Oh my God, please, say a couple of words in favor of me."
And so, after the show last night, he gave me this big hug and said, "I tried, I tried." I said, "No, that wasn't your responsibility," so yeah. It really all boils down to, aside from her great play, how they feel -- how are they going to vote? Are they going to be emotional or are they going to be rational and look at the facts?
Reality TV World: Leif and Troyzan were the two jury members who voted for you. Did either vote surprise you, and did they ever explain why they voted for you and what they based their votes on?
Sabrina Thompson:
There's a lot of editing going on, but I knew that those two voted for me. There's a big question mark on a couple of them and Kim and I would talk after the season, and literally, we could not sleep. We were like, "I don't know, I don't know."
And it just got to the point where we were like, "Let's stop counting; Let's stop counting." And so, yeah. It ended up how it was supposed to, and I learned never to question things. Everything is in God's water and it's how it's supposed to be.
Reality TV World: So do you think Troyzan voted for you because he really wanted to vote for you or do you think he just voted for you because Kim didn't give him the answer he was looking for during the jury questioning and he was kind of punishing her for it?
Sabrina Thompson:
I think it was maybe 60/40. Sixty percent she didn't give him the answer that he wanted and he was looking for a particular answer. The other 40% percent -- Troy and I had a very good relationship, just talking about life in general and our experiences. I'm sorry you don't get to see all of that obviously on TV, but yeah.
Reality TV World: Do you think the game would have played out significantly differently -- especially with regard to the women's dominance and ability to take out all the men -- if Colton Cumbie had not been medically evacuated right before the merge?
Sabrina Thompson:
It's funny. Colton obviously was backstage talking about that. He would have obviously made the merge, but it's funny. He duped people that were able to be duped. I don't think he could've pulled that on 90% percent of the new Salani at all. We just had a different personality and presence than some of the Manono people, but he might have gone one more round.
But I think it still would've ended up women, because at the end of the day, when he first came over, we genuinely loved him. He's a crazy wild guy, whatever. But then he's tricky. He's a wildcard. Is he really a girl's vote or is he with the guys? And we quickly were just like, "No, he's with the guys and he's playing us," so he may have lasted one more round. I sincerely, in my heart, think it still would've been girls.
Reality TV World: Did you know Kim had a hidden Immunity Idol, and what do you think your reaction would have been if she had given it to Chelsea to play at the final Tribal Council? Would you have been insulted or offended?
Sabrina Thompson:
No, I know out of the three of us, they were obviously much closer. That's undeniable. I didn't know she particularly had it. I knew that it was found and I knew someone that was still in the game and was pretty close to me had it. I just didn't know who.
Because I found a wrapper and when I found the very first idol out there, I knew that it was really a wrapper and how it looked and everything.
And I said, "Wow, who would leave the wrapper?" And so, yeah. But I felt like they didn't know that if that's your right arm out there, why not save her when you guys are going [to the end together]? But you know, I was just going in on every decision.
Reality TV World: During the final Tribal Council session, Jonas Otsuji asked Chelsea what the boldest game-changing move was that she had made in the game without Kim's guidance or initiation, and she said it was taking Kat Edorsson out. So had Jonas asked you the same question, what would you have said? What was your biggest strategic move in the game that you could take full responsibility for?
Sabrina Thompson:
Well, actually that question was asked to me from [Christina Cha] but it was edited out. I think some of my stronger moves were at the very beginning of the game when you saw a lot more of me before I went under the radar.
I really found that [hidden Immunity Idol] without a clue and, on like Day 2 -- something crazy like that -- I was just like, "Who in the hell do I give this to?" Because I couldn't keep it for myself. And so at that point in the game, I was either thinking, "Colton's the only person that I really talk to since Day 2."
I barely knew his name, you know? And so I was like, "Well God, do I give it to him?" I could have given it easily to someone else that could not have broken up the guys. Colton did his job and he did it well.
He broke up the guys. He was the one that was totally irrational and was like, "Oh my God. Let's give up our immunity." So, if I were to have given it to someone like Jonas, which I considered, he's a lot more rational than Colton.
And he would've never duped the guys, and the game would have totally been different. So, that was my biggest play. But it was so early on in the game, people obviously forgot about that, but it is what it is, and that was a game-changer -- giving it to Colton.
And our conversation was much longer and much deeper between Colton and I, and some of the things that we would do after the merge -- I knew I didn't want to go too far into the merge with this guy. But yeah.
Reality TV World: The one criticism that people seem to have was why you felt the need to unload that hidden Immunity Idol so quickly on Day 2...
Sabrina Thompson:
You had to. It was in the rules. I had to give it to him pretty much by sundown, and I'm like, "Crap!" And the sun was going down.
Reality TV World: So that wasn't your decision then?
Sabrina Thompson:
No. It was part of the stipulations in the -- I had to give it [out] before the next Tribal Council. It was actually the third day I found it. It was going into that night.
Reality TV World: So if you had the choice, do you think you would've held onto it longer and tried to play it more strategically maybe at some point later on?
Sabrina Thompson:
Yeah, but it was so like, "Man, I'm going to have to give this up!" And so I was kind of weighing some options and I decided on Colton. And because he was so impressionable at the time, he went along with what we had talked about, and then boy! I want to say he abused the power! Yeah.
Reality TV World: Normally when you get to the end of a
season, the final Immunity Challenge is an endurance challenge. Were you surprised that wasn't the case?
Sabrina Thompson:
For me, I was shocked. I feel like the Immunity Challenge before last, the one with the huge maze and you had to climb up, I said, "Oh man, if this is that big, I know the last Immunity Challenge has to be super epic." And then we walked on the field and I was like, "What is this?" And then when Jeff explained the game, I said, "Okay."
It was much harder than I think what the audience thought it looked like. It has a lot of depth perception. The stick is very long and you can only hold it at the very end, and then it would shake. It was sort of like the game "Operation" -- the game when you were a young child, and touching the sides was horrible.
So for me, I said, "You know what? Let me take my time. I'd rather take my time and not drop any of them than fly through it," but you had to be very poised to do it, and obviously I absolutely sucked. But yeah, kind of surprising, yeah.
Reality TV World: Unless I'm mistaken, I never saw you tell your fellow castaways that you had been laid off from your teaching job prior to competing on
. So just to clarify, is that accurate?
Sabrina Thompson:
Yeah! Some of the players knew. What happened was this, a week before, I got this random email. I got a letter saying new budget cuts were going to lay off 6,000 teachers and 4,000 cops and that my name was on the list and that I would get further information later on. And literally, I was expecting when I came back to not have a job.
I said, "Let me just go." And when I came back, they had found some money in the budget to re-hire me, which I thought was amazing. But I didn't want to go back to teaching the next day after I came off the plane. So I went into teaching a month later and then finished out the semester. And because I teach in such a horrendous environment.
It is really, really bad -- a lot of gangs and stuff. So there's no way I can teach this semester and be part of the show, and because I would literally probably wouldn't be able to make the finale because I would be injured. It's that crazy around here, so I took a leave of absence for this spring semester and just watched the game in peace, so they found money in the budget to re-hire me. But it was totally accurate.
Reality TV World: So you shared that news at the end. Was there any strategy involved in that? Was it the case where you thought you might be too sympathetic a figure and then have a target on your back if you revealed that too early on?
Sabrina Thompson:
You know like, Troy is a different story. A lot of people have been applying for this show for years. Yeah, I was thrust into it. I've watched a couple of seasons, but I'm not a super fan at all, you know? So for me to pick up on the subtleties of the game and make it this far, I thought would win some points.
Hell, I didn't know how to swim. I learned how to swim in three weeks. So certain things, I had to be thrust into this game -- it may have worked to get some votes.
And so, I just wanted them to see the frame of reference I was coming from coming into this game and how I was just surprised I even made it as far as I did. And if it got me some jury votes, oh well. However you can get to the end with integrity and with truth, and everything I said was the truth.
Reality TV World: So how were you cast on
: One World
? How did you end up on the show?
Sabrina Thompson:
Oh it's so wild! In a 30-second recap, basically after I got the letter saying that I was going to be laid off, a week after that, I got a random email. I used to be a TV producer prior to being a teacher, and it was called "TV inquiry," so I'm thinking it's just my buddies from TV emailing me about something.
And pretty much, it was a producer saying, "Hey, we have two more spots left in the next season of
and we're interested in casting a black or Hispanic woman." And for the most part, they had already pretty much picked who they wanted and they were just doing some more research on these women to create an electronic profile.
And one of the ladies, a black lady, had my exact identical name Sabrina Thompson. So every time they Googled her, my picture and my bio would come up and they were a little confused like, "What? Who is this?" And they read my bio and said, "We like this Sabrina way better."
They didn't have my number, so they emailed me from the site. Obviously I thought it was somebody like Ashton Kutcher Punk'ing me. I emailed them back, we had a conversation and the next week, I was out talking to Mark Burnett. Three weeks later, I was on the island.

HistoryInterviews with History and Conversations with PowerWritten by Oriana Fallaci
About This BookA posthumous compilation of this award-winning and best-selling writer and journalist's seminal, historic interviews. Oriana Fallaci was granted access to countless world leaders and politicians throughout her remarkable career. Considering herself a writer rather than a journalist, she was never shy about sharing her opinions of her interview subjects. Her most memorable interviews—some translated into English for the first time—appear in this collection, including those with Ariel Sharon, Yassir Arafat, the former Shah of Iran, Lech Walesa, the Dalai Lama, Robert Kennedy, and many others. Also featured is the famous 1972 interview in which she succeeded in getting Henry Kissinger to call Vietnam a "useless war" and to describe himself as "a cowboy." To this day he calls the Fallaci interview "the most disastrous conversation I ever had with the press." About the AuthorOriana Fallaci (1929–2006) is the author of numerous acclaimed books, including Letter to a Child Never Born (1975), A Man (1979), Inshallah (1990), and the trilogy consisting of The Rage and The Pride (2001), The Force of Reason (2004), and Fallaci Interviews Herself (2004). |

Stateside snowpack slightly above normal
January 8, 2014
Snowpack levels throughout Colorado remain "normal" despite a dry second half of December, thanks to significant early-season snow, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The Jan. 1 snowpack readings are 103 percent of median statewide, according to Phyllis Ann Philipps, state conservationist with the federal agency. This is the best start to the winter since 2011.
The Roaring Fork River basin was at 101 percent of average Wednesday. The Independence measuring station showed a snowpack at 101 percent. The three sites in the Fryingpan Valley were below average Wednesday. The three sites in the Crystal Valley were at or above average. Schofield Pass is at 111 percent of average.
All major river basins in Colorado are near normal. The Colorado River basin has a snowpack that is 102 percent of average and 141 percent of last year's level, the agency reported. Reservoir storage in the basin is 98 percent of average in the basin.
The Yampa, Arkansas and Gunnison river basins are all slightly above average for snowpack. The San Miguel is at average. The Rio Grande and South Platte are at 99 percent of average.
Statewide, the reservoir storage is at 87 percent of average.
"All in all, these early season conditions are favorable leading into the bulk of the snow accumulation season," the Natural Resources Conservation Service said in a statement. "If weather patterns persist and continue to provide moisture to our state this could be a good year for water supply and recreation in Colorado."

Off the Wall
At a time when the AFL is preparing to mount a well funded challenge to rugby league in South East Queensland and Western Sydney the AFL code has lost arguably the most formidable advocate it has ever had, certainly in South East Queensland.
Leigh Matthews, who resigned yesterday as Brisbane Lions coach after a decade at the helm, managed to lift the popularity of the Brisbane Lions at a time when the Brisbane Broncos were at the zenith of their success and popularity.
And while Matthews, to his considerable credit, never publicly rubbished our code, his departure from the coaching ranks is going to make the AFL

Less than a month until my three person studio show. Lots to do to get ready.
The zippy ties have yet to be trimmed in this picture. We plan to make 3 more and hook them all together in a zig-zag pattern which should be self-supporting.
I like the clean lines (and of course Bill likes the black and white motif). ;- ]
