New CDs from New Orleans Musicians Raise Hell and Hope
Musicians remind us why New Orleans matters
By Mel Minter
Thanatos and Eros, that timeless couple, never dance closer than when in New Orleans, where every breeze carries scents of mortality and carnality. So maybe it shouldn't come as a surprise that despite the devastation of Katrina, the indifference of the Bush administration, and the incompetence of the Army Corps of Engineers, the city is showing small signs of a resurgence.
The most encouraging sign yet: an efflorescence of new CDs from New Orleans musicians young and old. Uptown funk, the trad jazz of the Quarter, the Treme's second line—you can hear it all and more on these CDs, and you can help keep the music, its musicians, the city and hope afloat by plunking down your cash.
You may have trouble finding some of these at your favorite local record store. Try the Louisiana Music Factory, a New Orleans record store that specializes in the local fare (www.louisianamusicfactory.com, 504-586-1094).
Matt Perrine Sunflower City (self-released)
"This is the place, y'all, where the music never dies," they chant in the title track, a Perrine original that captures the joyful near-chaos of a New Orleans' second line. That irresistible rhythm under that brassy street music makes you believe it, too. Sousaphonist Perrine has put together an eclectic, exuberant, spirit-lifting collection of traditional and original tunes that communicate the city's musical variety while underscoring its position as the capital city of the Caribbean. In Perrine's grasp, the sousaphone seems nearly as pliant as a clarinet, and his arrangements turn even creaky old warhorses like "Muskrat Ramble" into party tunes that just won't stop. (Lordy, when will I ever get to sleep?) He gets assistance from a who's who of current New Orleans players, including James Andrews, Big Chief Alfred Doucet, Tim Laughlin, Tom McDermott, Larry Sieberth, Michael Skinkus, Rick Trolsen, Don Vappie and many more.
Tom McDermott Live in Paris (STR Digital Records)
Pianist Tom McDermott, originally from St. Louis and a resident of New Orleans since 1984, spent some time in Paris post-Katrina as an artist in residence at the invitation of the French-American Cultural Exchange. This lively recording from March 2006 shows McDermott in fine form, roaming at will over the diverse territory he has staked out over the years, mixing James Booker riffs into a Jelly Roll Morton tune, deconstructing the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood," extemporizing on Joplin's "The Entertainer," taking Handy, Gottschalk, Waller, J.P. Johnson and Booker in hand, if you will, and throwing in a boogie and a choro of his own. The adventurous McDermott will go haring off down paths that look to mere mortals like sure dead ends, but he inevitably finds illuminating connections that take you somewhere you couldn't get to from here. His fingers sound like they must be double-jointed to do what they do—and by golly, they are.
Evan Christopher Live at the Meridien (Jazz Traditions Project) and Delta Bound (Arbors Records)
Evan Christopher, the world's finest proponent of the Creole clarinet tradition, has been pretty much living out of a suitcase since Katrina. He did, however, set up shop in Paris for a time as an artist in residence for the French-American Cultural Exchange. The nine tracks on the live disc, recorded there in August 2006, capture Christopher, with David Blenkhorn (guitar), Sebastien Girardot (bass) and Guillaume Nouaux (drums), in a breathtaking tour of material that ranges from Duke Ellington to Ornette Coleman, Howard Arlen to Scott Joplin, and a fine original, "G'wine Home." The Arbors studio recording, dating from January 2006, finds him with pianist Dick Hyman and two stellar New Orleans stalwarts, bassist Bill Huntington and drummer Shannon Powell. (Dr. Bruce Boyd Raeburn, curator of the Hogan Jazz Archive at Tulane, provides fine liner notes.) The four of them light up historic New Orleans tunes (Tony Parenti's "Vieux Carré"), compositions about the city (Hoagy Carmichael's "New Orleans") and Christopher originals that celebrate master Creole clarinetist Lorenzo Tio, Jr. On both discs, Christopher brings to the music a well-informed sense of tradition, incomparable lyricism, tasteful energy and a dangerously seductive tone. Damn, that man can play.
Dumpstaphunk Listen Hear (DP Records)
This funk—ooh, whatta smell—could come from only one place on the planet: uptown New Orleans. Ivan Neville, son of Aaron, is the front man on the B-3 organ, and cousin Ian Neville, son of Art, joins in on flaming Hendrix-influenced guitar. The fruit don't fall far from the tree, y'all. But this is hard-core, driven by two bassists (Nick Daniels and Tony Hall) and a snapping drummer (Raymond Weber), all with impeccable funk credentials of their own. "Meanwhile" offers political advice in the wake of Katrina: "Vote for me. I'm running for my life." "Turn This Thing Around" tells us, "We got to help them people, too." Party music with a message. "Yeah, you right," as they say down in Louisiana.
Help Rebuild New Orleans
From 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Aug. 29, the anniversary of the Katrina disaster, the First Unitarian Church at Comanche and Carlisle will hold a fundraising dinner catered by the Cajun Kitchen, with music by the Route 66 Revelers. Proceeds will help defray the costs of sending up to 12 volunteers to work on rebuilding New Orleans under the auspices of the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.
Tickets are $15. For more information or to donate, call the church at 884-1801.

Protect Children's Human Rights
On November 20, 1989, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a landmark for human rights. Here for the first time was a treaty that sought to address the particular needs of children and to set minimum standards for the protection of their rights. It is the first international treaty to guarantee civil and political rights as well as economic, social, and cultural rights.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is the most widely accepted human rights treaty - of all the United Nations member states, only the United States and Somalia have not ratified it.
One of the Convention's key strengths is that it recognizes that rights must be actively promoted if they are going to be enforced -- awareness isn't enough. Children's rights activists have a powerful tool for campaigning for the protection of children's human rights in the almost worldwide acceptance of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

I hate Netscape Navigator. I hate Netscape Navigator. I have Netscape Navigator.
When I got to the office today, I discovered that I had only about 500 emails by my count. I can tell that this will be a fun day.
Yesterday was a busy day here at the office. The DSL was finally installed, only three months late. Our "provider" (who shall remain nameless) finally got their routing under control. The main upshot of this is that the 10 or so of us are no longer on a modem and thus I now have a telephone.
It was also Michael Zucchi's birthday, so we cut out early and headed back to the Lucky Cave for a party with some movies and beer. Lets just say that a few beers later, I had all the Americans doing jumping jacks.
My landlord claims that he never received my rent. However, my bank informs me that it was cashed on the 15th. He had better not be dicking me over.
Lastly, in honor of my email, today's soup of the day.
Why can't we edit our diaries? Anyway, like I said, I've been caffeine and get some sleep.
A fortnight between diary entries isn't too bad. I've uh... been busy.
A lot has happened in the last two weeks: I found out I was going to Paris for GUADEC, a GNOME conference. I went to New York for that LinuxWorld thingy, I chilled with my homey phil and I worked like a dog.
Phil's assertion that garlic bread and pants are the same led me to thinking... If this Helix Code thing doesn't take off, that there is a completely untouched market for garlic pants. Google comes up almost empty in that department, as does a quick patent search. I'm going to be so rich.
Speaking of travelling abroad, apparently due to some legislation, all government forms must now have state the "Estimated burden" of filling it out. My passport application has an estimated burden of 20 minutes, so I'll just chalk that up in my time wasted column. At least they know what a pain in the ass this is.
On the work front: Yes, we did ship GNOME packages to LinuxPPC for their new
release. We built the packages because of our expertise in
the area, since we have several maintainers of the
As for spidermonkey, your wait will be over at GUADEC in mid-March if not sooner. And no, I won't tell you what it is quite yet.
Today's soup: corn
Today's haiku:
Sickener early

phychograph prescript
Went to sleep at 7am, got up at 2pm. Took the day off; after all it is Super Bowl Sunday. Sat around and watched the game and had a good time. I then watched some DVDs that we rented for about 8 or so hours and came into the office.
Spidermonkey, dude. That's all I have to say.
Did get my web page finished, it sucks as you might expect, but I've noticed that most other hackers don't care much about their web pages either.
Ruler support is in Achtung and working flawlessly. I also wrote the notes view (the simplest view) and started the slide sorter view. It somewhat existed in the old version but it's proving to me much more difficult to do in the new one.
I also got a copy of PowerPoint 2000 and noticed that they don't have any grid support from what I could find at close glance, although they do have a bunch of other really cool stuff.
More spidermonkey and Helix administrative stuff while the big boys are out of the office. I'd like to talk about it, but you know how it is...
Well, I'm a big fat liar. I didn't sleep last night except for a little nap around 6pm, so I will no longer be making predictions about my sleep schedule here. "Not a long night" my ass.
After I woke up, ate, and did some administrative stuff, I did a little more work on spidermonkey, but spent most of my time hacking rulers into Achtung. It works fully except for a little problem with zooming out a lot. This is a limitation in GtkRuler, and I'll probably end up subclassing it to fix the problem. By and large, though, it's looking nice. Oh, thanks to Chris Lahey for some convenient insight.
Next up for me and Achtung is hacking in grid support. I'd like to take a look at PowerPoint 2000 to see how/if they do it, but alas, I don't have a copy. If anyone has a screenshot they could send, please mail me.
Lastly, I spent most of the morning putting together a web page for myself and one for Achtung. I'll try to get the latter up with screenshots and whatnot later this afternoon.
Finally got my advogato account set up...
My first half of the day consisted of hacking on spidermonkey, which is nearing completion. Since I had to wake up as early as I did today, I don't think I'll be pulling a long night tonight

I'm looking for the origin of an idea. The idea is that all proprietary software should a have a "free" (RMS definition) equivalent.
This idea is very pervasive within the free software community. My thought is that it originates with Stallman. He says the only aspect of software that matters is whether it is free or not. Therefore the problem with Microsoft Windows is not that its purpose is to extract maximum profit in the market place, but that its users cannot freely make changes to it and share those changes. It is small leap to say a proprietary software with large user base should have a free equivelant.
On the other it might be purely a strategy of a certain kind. If you create free equivalents, you bleed the company producing the proprietary software of its revenue source. In the process, according to a certain line of thinking, you promote free software and expand its application base.
A third possibility is that people are so ingrained with the ideas and concepts proprietary software, creating something original is beyond their capacity.
A forth possibility is that knock offs are created for the same reason proprietary software companies create knock offs. Similar software can ride the popularity of existing popular software.
Even if no one has explictly sugested this idea, there may be sufficient reason for it to be implicitly accepted. The obvious problem is that at the end of the day proprietary software companies have defined the adgenda for free software. The fundemental purpose of proprietary software is extracting profit in the market place. This is not deny there may be interesting and original ideas in proprietary software nor that the developers of the proprietary software have talent. However, I don't see free software reaching a fraction of its potential until it can succesfully break free of the proprietary software establishment.

Q: Where did you find your original inspiration for Simply Style?
A: You will see in my collections (past and future to come!) flowers, and simple geometric designs, with a splash of vintage feel. These have been pretty consistent in my years of decorating, and go to fabrics for quilting, so naturally when I design fabric lines, these concepts are pretty dominant. I design what I find pleasing to my eye. :)
Q: What was your "aha" moment in designing this collection?
A: We finished designing and okaying colors and strike offs for this collection last year sometime during the summer. It was when I saw it all together, when I had my aha moment of how I was going to use the line.
|Kaleidoscope Quilt Kit featuring Simply Style by V & Co.
A: I have a Bernina 185 and I just recently upgraded to a Bernina 580. My kids use and are learning on both. Although I have to admit, it's super easy to teach them on the 580 where I can easily have them change the speed to super slow and have them do more on their own this way. It's been a very good teaching tool. My 6 year old just sewed her own borders on a block we made into a pillow. She was so proud. And so was I.
Q: What is your favorite part of the fabric industry?
A: Favorite part of the fabric industry would be the ever changing style of a love that humans have had for textiles for centuries. I love to watch the trends of colors and size in prints, to create a different look of something that's been around for a long time. It's fascinating.
|Confetti Quilt Pattern by V & Co.
A: Well, first off, color. There are certain colors that I'm drawn to. Second, ads. I know it sounds weird, but hear me out: in ads you are drawn to things that catch your eye, whether it be color schemes, or design. I pay attention to what catches my eye in each ad and then I let my imagination take over and go from there.
Q: What is your design process?
A: I first draw then, it gets placed in the computer using Illustrator.
Q: What is your favorite print in the collection?
A: Yikes. That is a hard one! Okay i can pick one: I'm pretty drawn to the simple rectangle prints, because they are great basics to add to any quilt design. Available in Graphite Gray, Lime Green, Aquatic Blue and Navy Blue.
|Bubbles Quilt Pattern by V & Co.
A: Not repeating the same design over and over (especially the ones I love the most). I know I love chevrons, so instead of creating the same chevrons from collections in the past (that I have fallen in love with), I have to change it a little, to create a new look. Perfect case in point would be the chevrons from the Simply Color, and the ombré chevrons from Simply Style.
Q: What are your favorite and least favorite colors and why?
A: Favorite colors are green, and blue. Always have been, I think it's because it reminds me of the beach. I grew up near the beach and I love anything that reminds me of being close to the beach. :) Least favorite color: purple, (but I like eggplant!), I don't know why. I've tried to figure out what purple has done to me in the past, where it all went wrong between us and I can't figure it out. When I do, I'm sure it will relieve years of therapy.

Our child sponsors are an amazing group of globally focused citizens who make a huge difference in the lives of children they support through ChildFund. They are making positive things happen in families and communities every day by supporting children's health, nutrition, education and well being.
The truth is that we need more sponsors just like them.
Right now, more than 100,000 children live in areas where ChildFund works but lack a one-to-one relationship with a sponsor who writes to them and paves the way for a brighter future through financial and emotional support.
So starting this month, ChildFund is committing to working even harder to tell these children's stories to people like you who want to take meaningful action. There is no better way to have a lasting impact on the future than to help a child escape the grip of poverty.
For the next several weeks, we're going to take the ChildFund story to places like Chico and Redding, Calif.; Gainesville, Ft. Myers and Naples, Fla.; Providence, R.I.; New Bedford, Mass.; Rochester and Austin, Minn.; Mason City, Iowa; Albany, Schenectady and Troy, N.Y.; and Milwaukee, Wis.
If you live in these cities, or know someone who does, you'll be discovering more about ChildFund through TV, radio and newspaper promotions. We're also inviting a little friendly social media competition among people tweeting and posting on Facebook and blogs from these cities.
Wouldn't it be terrific if your metropolitan area gained the highest number of new ChildFund sponsors by the time this campaign wraps up in September? Wouldn't it be incredible to play a vital role in greatly reducing the number of children awaiting sponsors?
You can help make it happen by spreading the word about ChildFund's One Child a Day campaign through Twitter, Facebook and blog posts and inviting members of your social networks to consider sponsoring a child at just $28 a month.
When tweeting, please be sure to use the Twitter hashtags we've developed to track the campaign in each metropolitan market:
Throughout the campaign, we'll use this blog, Facebook and Twitter to provide fun facts about these great cities, answer frequently asked questions about child sponsorship and issue updates on our goal to welcome at least one new ChildFund sponsor a day from each of these metropolitan areas.
Will you help us get started? We need to spread the word that anyone can change the world — simply by helping one child at a time.

Reviews of this property
We spend 5 beautiful days in Budapest and enjoyed every minute of it. The Little Whistle Appartment was a perfect base to explore (down)town and the available bicycles brought us everywhere we wanted.
Thank you Bali!
Robin & Mette
Great place. Nice, clean, original decor. In the middle of Budapest. We liked it very much. Good beds also !
This very fine small classic Hungarian apartment suited us fine. Everything is nicely renovated and the shower was a njutnig in the heatwave. I would recommend this apartment for most young people when there is no lift in the building and the apartment is on the 3rd floor (Europeans say 2nd floor). Moreover, the fine dining area of the kitchen nicely decorated but with high tables and high stools .... we "ladies" had a little difficulty with it. The apartment is kanonbra and near downtown. One can walk to all the spry young one! We got great suggestions for restaurants of our host, which we appreciated since we are not interested in "tourist traps". It became very successful visit! Thank you for this time Bali!
Denna väldigt fina lilla klassiska ungerska lägenhet passade oss utmärkt.
Allting är fint renoverat och duschen var en njutnig i värmeböljan.
Jag rekommenderar denna lägenhet mest för ungdomar då hiss saknas i huset och lägenheten är på 3:e vån (europeér säger 2:a vån).
Dessutom är den fina matplatsen i köket snyggt inrett men med högt bord och höga pallar....vi "tanter" hade lite svårt med det.
Lägenheten ligger kanonbra och nära centrum. Man kan gå till allt med raska unga steg ! Vi fick fina förslag på restauranger av vår värd, vilket vi uppskattade då vi inte är intresserade av "turistfällor". Det blev mycket lyckosamma besök !
Tack för denna gången Bali !
This apartment is a JEWEL, situated at the best location i can imagin for a short trip in Budapest. Anita, your work is GREAT! And Bali, your work too!
You created a lovely, peacefull place with so many splendid details! ! !
I can give a TRUE and STRONG RECOMMENDATION for the LITTLE WHISTLE, and i hope, i am able to come back one day, which is hopefully not so far away....
Greetings from the heart! *franziska
Little Whistle Apartment is a very fine, soulfull and personal crip in a beautiful atrium-spot, placed perfectly in the jewish neighbourhood. Our host made sure that we were well settled with drinks in the fridge and all our informations straight, when we arrived, and was sweet and helpful in everyway. Fx gave us recommandations for what to explore in the city, booked our taxi to the airport and made it clear, that he was always available, in which we trusted. So if you choose to visit Budapest, don't cheat yourself for the experience of living at the Little Whistle.

Picked up the trash compactor sets at Eldersburg Walmart this morning. They only had one of each. Big Sloppy, thanks for the Star Tours info. And for the record, I'm beginning to think Ephant Mon is a figment of everyone's imagination as I've yet to see one in person.
Ephont Mon is/was out and about. TRU had tons of him for the Black Friday specials. He'll be out and about again. The Walmart in Catonsville had 2 Trash Compactor sets thismorning. Walmart in Ellicot City had the Xmas 2 pack yesterday morning.
"The Negotiator, General Kenobi."
Target Accessory Sets were found in the Hagerstown, MD store. I picked up Hoth & Endor to complete my set. They had plenty more as of Saturday 12/7. Pretty much nothing else was in stock. Your best bet is to call ahead then go right over. They won't hold these for you! Good luck.
Saw Target Accs. sets at Columbia Target. Several Hoth, 1 Endor and 1 Arena. Several Deluxe Geonosian Pods, too.
today i found yoda: jedi high council, and the destoyer droid: geonosis battle at the kb toyworks in bowie/crofton, they had two of each left, i didnt even know they were out yet, are these the last figs of 2002?
That's funny, I almost went into that KB today. I went into Walmart(nothing new), but passed on KB. I didn't know there were any more figures coming out this year.
Anyway, I also stopped by the Arundel Mills Walmart. They had 12" Bounty Hunters (Dengar, Zuckuss...)
Yo momma. That's right, I said "yo momma".
I got the Trash compactor scenes at Wal-mart in Frederick last night. They had 1 of each left after I bought mine. Still no sign of the Holiday two-pack here though.
Thanks Sparky! I nailed the new(or is it?) Yoda Jedi Council & Battle Droid Geo. Battle at Bowie Toyworks. Corners on both were hammered...I'll exchange at a later date. Still haven't found trash compactor 2-packs at local WalMarts.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
Toys R us price matched the KB online sale price for the interactive R2 unit for me. The manager said he was in a good mood but ordinarally doesn't match online prices. If you want one and want to save $20 ($30 if you take out shipping from KB) then give it a try. The worst they can say is no. I can't wait till Christmas so I can open it.

Since a "ceasefire" has come into effect between Israel and Hamas, media coverage of the conflict has also declined.
In the past, the media has failed to properly report on Palestinian terror and provocations against Israel, instead waiting to report on Israeli responses and counter-terror measures, thus portraying Israel as the sole aggressor. Will the same thing happen this time?
The answer may very well be in the affirmative if the international media has failed to cover these serious violations of the ceasefire over the past few days:
- June 24: Three Qassam rockets land in Sderot; one home damaged, two people treated for shock.
- June 26: Qassam explodes in an open area in Sderot's industrial zone.
- June 27: Two mortar shells fired from Gaza; one shell hits near Kibbutz Kfar Aza, another lands in an uninhabited area.
- June 28: Several mortar shells fired at the Karni Crossing area.
Despite this, the BBC's report on June 27, "Gaza truce 'violated repeatedly'", led with alleged Israeli violations, waiting until the third paragraph to mention Palestinian rockets and mortars:
A fragile eight-day-old truce between Israel and Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip appears to have been violated repeatedly by both sides.
A UN source says Israeli troops have opened fire on Palestinian farmers several times, causing injuries. Israel says its forces fired warning shots.
Palestinian militants have also broken the ceasefire, firing rockets and mortars into Israeli territory.
Irrespective of the veracity of an unnamed "UN source" (many Palestinians are employed by the UN in Gaza, including Hamas members), why will the BBC not recognize that there is no moral equivalence between rocket and mortar attacks on the western Negev and the firing of warning shots by an IDF wary of potential terrorist activities near the border fence?

Despite the rocket and mortar attacks, Israel has decided to reopen the Gaza crossings after initially closing them in response. The Associated Press, however, in a fit of chronological inversion, employed the headline: "Israel closes Gaza, Palestinians fire mortars".
Thus, Israel's border closure is falsely portrayed as the reason behind the Palestinian mortars instead of the other way around.
Comments to Associated Press – firstname.lastname@example.com
Please also be on the lookout for the omission of important context – the ceasefire agreement applies to Gaza and not to the West Bank, where Israeli forces are still free to operate against Palestinian terrorists.
For example, The Guardian reported that Palestinian "rockets were fired by the militant group Islamic Jihad, which said it was acting in response to the killing of one of its commanders in the occupied West Bank earlier that day."
While Islamic Jihad needs little excuse to fire rockets into Israel, The Guardian failed to make it clear that Israeli operations in the West Bank are not in violation of the ceasefire.
Comments to The Guardian – email@example.com
Keep an eye on your local media to see how it is covering the "ceasefire" and continuing Palestinian rocket and mortar attacks.
Google Earth is an online satellite mapping service that allows people to view images of virtually any place in the world. It also allows people to add comments about specific places. In a new report published by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, Andre Oboler found significant anti-Israel propaganda on the site:
Virtual Israel, as represented by Google Earth, is littered with orange dots, many of which claim to represent "Palestinian localities evacuated and destroyed after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war." Thus, Israel is depicted as a state born out of colonial conquest rather than the return of a people from exile. Each dot links to the "Palestine Remembered" site, where further information advancing this narrative can be obtained.
Many of the claims staked out in Google Earth present misinformation, and sites known to be ruins in 1946 are claimed to be villages destroyed in 1948. Arab villages which still exist today are listed as sites of destruction. The Google Earth initiative is not only creating a virtual Palestine, it is creating a falsification of history.
The concept of "replacement geography" replaces the historical connection of one people to the land with a connection between another people and the land. The inclusion of virtual Palestine, superimposed on Israel in the core layer of Google Earth, is an example of replacement geography advanced by technology.
Those wishing to explore Israel in Google Earth are immediately taken to a politically motivated narrative unrelated to their quest. Google should remove the narrative and treat Israel as it treats every other country on the globe. The core layer of Google Earth should be ideology free and not serve as a platform for indoctrination or a campaign to wipe Israel off the virtual map.

Welcome to Volunteer Services
Volunteer News
The Power of One: Nevine Fateen
Nevine Fateen is the manager of Volunteer Services at the Royal Victoria Hospital

Volunteering is at the core of what makes the MUHC special. With over 2,00 volunteers currently devoting their time to the six hospitals of our health centre, they continue a tradition that has persisted for many years.
Both a rewarding and enlightening experience, volunteering provides the highest level of care to our patients and their families. The many services our volunteers provide are an invaluable support to the work of our staff. Their compassion and commitment are an inspiration.
We hope to be able to share the experience with you as a member of our caring and dedicated team. Your gift of time is priceless.
We Are Looking for Volunteers who are ready to make a commitment of 3 to 4 hours a week (morning, afternoon or evening) for a minimum of 5 months. For the summer "Volunteen" Program (July and August) we are looking for volunteers who can commit 2 days a weeks over the summer.
Please explore the Volunteer Services website and should you still have questions that you do not see addressed here, we welcome you to read our Frequently Asked Questions section.
Meet some of our volunteers
At the Royal Victoria Hospital, The Neuro and the Montreal Chest Institute over 700 volunteers, of all ages and from all walks of life, give their time to over 40 different programs. One such program is "STEP" – the Student Training and Education Program – a three-part program for students that has been generously supported by Pfizer Canada for the past eight years. During the summer months, students come to volunteer, attend life skills workshops and exploration sessions given by MUHC healthcare professionals. Many STEP students go on to choose careers in the healthcare.
Lachine Campus' 80 volunteers generously help in many ways. On a day-to-day basis, volunteers deliver special meals and make friendly visits to patient rooms as well as greet arrivals in the Emergency Department and the blood taking centre. Lachine Campus volunteers also help out with a wide variety of creative activities like crafts, painting, gardening and running a small café called "La Cafetière" everyday of the week. They also help organize recreational activities such as bingo, bowling and scrabble and outings to the horse races and to shows at the Casino.
The Montreal General Hospital Volunteer Service counts on approximately 925 volunteers who dedicate their time to various programs. The updated Pet Therapy Program is managed by a retired veterinarian who brings five dogs to visit patients. The Montreal General Hospital Volunteer Service also has a growing Patient Visiting Program that schedules visits with patients three times a day. In 2010-11, 20 pre-med students from l'Université de Montreal (UdeM) spent 90 hours visiting with patients. It has now become a course offered for credits at U de M, with the objective of teaching students what it is like to being a patient.
At The Montreal Children's Hospital, 250 volunteers help maintain the regular volunteer services to patients and families. In 2010-11, The Children's increased the number of volunteers at the ED entrance and, in collaboration with Child Life Services, introduced volunteers to the new Surgical Day Centre to help children and families manage the stress related to the pre- and post- operative process. In return, thanks to a grant from The Children's Auxiliary Foundation, The Montreal Children's Hospital was able to offer its volunteers two skill-building sessions on active listening. In addition, volunteers were given an opportunity to learn about the integration of children with special needs within a "regular" classroom, thanks to a new program made possible by the collaboration of The Children's employee daycare centre.

Looking at the New England Patriots Salary Cap Tweet
Each week I am going around the AFC East with a look at the teams roster and salary cap situation. This week Ill touch on the New England Patriots. I actually see this as a very big decision making year for the Patriots. The team will have two big cap decisions to make in regards to starting QB Tom Brady and WR Wes Welker. I think one of the underlying themes of the Patriots decisions in 2013 will actually be the effect in 2014 where New England already has almost $106.4 million of committed cap dollars for just 37 players and $62.6 million tied up in their top 6 players. As always all figures and details are presented based on media reports and details that I have been given from various sources, so if there are any big errors please let me know and I will correct them accordingly.
As New England enters the 2013 season I have them estimated around $16.1 million in cap room which ties in with the John Clayton cap report of $18.6 million from a few weeks ago. Claytons numbers did not include futures contracts or the salary escalators earned by certain players that are just now being accrued by the league. I like to translate these figures into real numbers so there are some adjustments to take into account. Every team is charged $504,000 at the beginning of free agency for workout payments expected to be earned. Teams also need to set aside money for rookie payments. The Patriots hold the 29th slotted pick in rounds 1-3 as well round 7. They also have the Buccaneers 7th round draft pick. Those 5 selections should cost the team a total of $3,311,620 in cap dollars in 2013 with a high of $1,312,918 for their first round pick all the way down to $416,898 assuming no dramatic changes in the calculations. In terms of net cap space that amounts to about $1.69 million as the draft picks replace the bottom of the current roster. For 2014 the total cost should be $4,065,685, which is also the net figure. So realistically before tenders for RFAs or franchise players the Patriots as of today are looking at a real cap figure of $14 million with $110.5 million for ¾ of a roster in 2014.
The Patriots have 18 free agents going into the 2013 season of which three are probably of the key variety and maybe three others are potential retains. The biggest name is Welker, who the Patriots seemed to try to phase out of the game early before realizing he was the best option they had. Welker played last season on the franchise tag. Because Welker played last season on the franchise tag his tag number this year is $11.418 million. That essentially means tagging Welker eliminates the entire real cap pool that the Patriots have this season. Last year I pegged his value on a long term deal at about $8.25 million a year with a chance to earn a bit more in incentives and I dont think I would change that number much. Realistically if the Patriots are to keep him and keep a healthy cap they need to do a three year contract to fit him comfortably under the salary cap.
The other two big names would be CB Aqib Talib and RT Sebastian Vollmer. Talib has all kinds of off the field issues but is certainly talented. New England needs talent on their defense but they have always been reluctant to give big dollars to players in the secondary. The secondary market has gone haywire with Jason McCourty getting a deal worth $8.6 million a year from the Titans which I think will make Talib too expensive for the Patriots tastes. Vollmer is a terrific talent and should be in the Patriots long term plans. Even with an injury history he makes sense to keep and can play both tackle positions. While some may consider tagging him, which would cost about $9.8 million, I would think extending him makes much more sense. Right now you can pay him as a right tackle where the top market price for pure right tackles is $6-$6.5 million a year. You can protect the players rights by including base salary escalators if the player switches positions, which allows them the cap room they need now and then pay him his market worth if they make the switch to the left side. To me this is a no brainer.
The contributors who may stick around are CB Kyle Arrington, RB Danny Woodhead, and WR Julian Edelman. I would not expect any of them to cost much money though because of the position Arrington could be lost to a team with more cap room or more desire to spend at the position. The Patriots dont have any restricted free agents that they would likely tender. A tender would immediately count for $1.323 million on the cap.
The million dollar question is what do the Patriots do with Tom Brady. Last year they restructured his contract to gain operating cap room, but it is now time to pay the bill as his cap has risen from about $18 million to $21.8 million in both 2013 and 2014. The team has two options. They could approach Brady again about a restructure, but with just one year remaining on his contract past 2013 could they really gain much? Brady is set to earn $15 million in cash payments in 2013, of which they could turn $14 million or so into a prorated bonus if they desired. That would save the team $7 million in cap room but blow his 2014 figure up to an astronomical $28.5 million. They could convert his $5 million dollar roster bonus into a signing bonus and free up $2.5 million which is more reasonable, but does little to the overall cap in 2013. What makes things even more risky with such a move is that Bradys 2014 salary fully guarantees if he is on the roster for the final regular season game of the 2013 season so there is no out at all from the $28.5 million number the next year. With Brady approaching 36 years of age he may not want to restructure and instead look for a new contract to give the team cap relief.
A new contract gives New England more breathing room, but by doing that they will commit to Brady until he is probably 42 years old adding 5 years onto his current contract. With Drew Brees earning $100 million over 5 years thats the market he has to earn. With 2 years and $30 million remaining you are looking at a deal that will measure 7 years and $130+ million with over $40 million in firm guarantees. I think its a decision the Patriots need to make this year because the longer they delay it the more difficult it becomes to justify with the age and the cap hits. Waiting until 38 just doesnt seem like an option unless they feel that they can shortchange him by waiting the two years. If not they have until mid June to try to reduce his cap charges, but his 2014 salary guarantees after the final game of the 2013 season. I cant picture Brady in another uniform, but it just feels like this is the year they have to really extend an elite player if they plan on doing it. If they dont they are probably banking on Brady not going out in free agency in 2 years and just signing with the highest bidder.
The Patriots are extremely cap heavy in their top 3 players, which are Brady, G Logan Mankins, and NT Vince Wilfork, who take up $42.4 million in cap space. Mankins has 4 years remaining on his contract and is probably a candidate to restructure to gain cap room. By reducing his salary to $825,000 this year and guaranteeing his workout bonus they gain $3.675 million in cap space while only adding $1.5 million to the 2014 cap number. That would seem like a no-brainer type move. Wilfork is another interesting case. Wilfork only has two years left on his current contract and trading him saves the team $3.4 million dollars in cap room and removes $11.6 million from the books in 2014. While on its face it sounds like a crazy idea, and Wilfork has never been a problem about his contract the way others have been, the Patriots way has always been to sell high when everyone least expects it. To me this fits the bill and if not this year then next. If they would consider trading him next year the Patriots would be wise to guarantee a portion of his 2014 base salary and shift a corresponding amount of salary from 2013 into 2014. The could probably save $3 million in cap room by doing that and force that $3 million dollar bill onto another team next season.
Beyond that group the Patriots have limited options for cap relief. Brandon Lloyd is due a $3 million dollar option bonus which the Patriots should be able to decline by releasing him. That would save the team $2 million in cap room. Jerod Mayo has one of the higher cap hits on the team both minimal pay in 2013, meaning he cant do much to help the team with its cap. Releasing K Stephen Gostkowki saves $1.8 million on cap while the release of LB Rob Ninkovich saves $1.5 million. In general Im not sure these moves would be productive at all.
The Patriots are in a bit of a strange position. Their contractual decisions the last few years have really had a negative impact on the team. On one hand they are very progressive with their planning by locking up players like Aaron Hernandez, Rob Gronkowski, and Jerod Mayo where they get them in their prime years at reasonable costs with low walk away costs later on and they have always sold high on players like Richard Seymour, but the bad decisions have been out of hand. The Patriots went into last seasons opening game with around $18 million in dead money and already have $4.5 million in dead money in 2013, assuming no recovery was made on the Jonathan Fanene contract, before the season even begins. Numbers like this dont even include the completely wasted costs on past players like Shaun Ellis, given a $4 million dollar deal when his next best offer seemed to be a qualifying contract from the Jets, Chad Ochocinco, $2.583 million in 2011 and still counting all the way in 2013, and Fanene who never played even a preseason down for the team. Sometimes we turn a blind eye because of the results every year, which are 12-14 wins, but the underlying numbers show a team that would have likely had more playoff success had that money been spent in a better manner. To clear out that kind of dead money last year and still only be within $15 million of the cap with big free agents waiting to be tagged is not what should happen. The cap room should be double that figure.
In fairness I think you have to view the Patriots as a win now team with a window only open as long as Brady can keep playing at this level. It puts a team in a position where they may have to make some moves that are not in the best long term interests of the franchise to try to get one last championship in the Brady era. But that bill is coming due very soon. In hindsight not extending Welker proved to be a mistake. He wasnt asking for obscene money and the Patriots refused to give in. That decision has probably cost them at least $5 million in cap room this year. Maybe restructuring Brady last year to bring in a handful of mid level guys was not the best decision either.
I think whatever you see them do with Brady will tell you a lot about what they think of the long term prospects for the team. If Brady does in fact restructure to create some cap room I have to think that they view this as a two year window where they will deal with Bradys enormous cap hit in 2014 when they get there. If they do give him that payday they will probably build to make a run over the next 4 years and do whatever they can to start getting pieces in place on the defense and maybe even make a few changes on offense removing Lloyd and Welker from the equation and getting a bigger name player in free agency. If everything remains status quo I would not expect a big spending year out of the Patriots and they will most likely go into next year relying on the continued growth from their 2012 draft picks and contributions from the 2013 class to be the additional help that Brady needs to win a Super Bowl in 2013.

A member of the Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council is under fire for tweeting that America is an Islamic country.
After a Twitter user asked Mohamed Elibiary on Thursday to show me just ONE example of an Islamic country where non Muslims are treated with equality, he responded with the controversial tweet, which was first reported by the Washington Free Beacon: America and yes I do consider the United States of America an Islamic country with an Islamically compliant constitution. Move On!The back-and-forth between Mr. Elibiary and the Twitter user, who identified himself as Tim Lee, started when Mr. Elibiary said the conservative perception of Islam needed to evolve.
According to the Free Beacon, Mr. Elibiary has served on the departments Countering Violent Extremist Working Group, as well as its Faith-based Security and Communications Advisory Committee. He is also a strong supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Neither the department nor Mr. Elibiary responded to the Beacons request for comment.Read more: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...#ixzz2jSVZtQkU
This might explain the way some things are handled by the administration?

Creeping things
This is actually the most recent hymn text I've written, but it may not be entirely serious.
As we see in your creation
creeping things upon the earth,
show us, with the caterpillar,
how to reach a second birth.
As the spider spins her cobweb
patiently to catch a fly,
grant us means to share your message
in the lives of passers-by.
As you granted limbs aplenty
to the peaceful millipede,
make our feet upon the mountains
swift to reach a world of need.
As the beetle digs the dunghill
seeking where its food is stored,
teach us that this world is refuse
set against our loving Lord.

Jerome Le Banner Successful Against Roman Kleibl
- Published in Europe
- Written by Dave Walsh
- 0
Former French K-1 fighter Jerome Le Banner continues to fight past the age of 40 and continues to have success by carefully choosing his opponents, which for a fighter of his level and age is no shame, really. I don't want to see Jerome Le Banner fight against Daniel Ghita or Gokhan Saki at this point, I want to see Jerome Le Banner go out and put on a good show, which most people seem to agree with.
That isn't to say that his opponent yesterday, Roman Kleibl, is a "can" by any stretch of the imagination, but he's simply not experienced or big enough to really stand much of a chance against a fighter like Le Banner. It was a rough start for JLB in the first round, but some of his signature kicks were able to turn the tide during the second round, possibly breaking Roman Kleibl's arm and leading to a stoppage, giving JLB yet another victory.
The rest of the card saw Kharim Ghajji and Yury Bessmeryny go to a three round war with Ghajji taking the decision victory.

However, there was a downside like with most things in life and that was the..." --mcook1970

" Straight out of SANSA Clip+ Bass is accurate, punchy and deep, the mids are slightly recessed and the treble is very crisp. Clarity is up to Fischer standards, no veiled sound here. Overall they sound very similar to the ATH M50, but with less recession and greater clarity (though less inviting imaging) These are one of the best IEM's I'ver ever heard, and for the price..." --1eye1derweasil

" So I owned a pair of CX300II's for over 4 years and finally decided to get a new pair. Of course, I was looking to upgrade from the sennheiser in terms of Bass and overall quality. After reading Jokers 131 IEM thread, I decided to get these. I am extremely pleased with my purchase.

Fruit: large, deep-blue berry in tight clusters above the foliage.
Warning The berries, roots and leaves of this plant may cause skin irritation if touched, and the raw berries may be poisonous to children if ingested. Sensitivity to a toxin varies with a persons age, weight, physical condition, and individual susceptibility. Children are most vulnerable because of their curiosity and small size. Toxicity can vary in a plant according to season, the plants different parts, and its stage of growth; and plants can absorb toxic substances, such as herbicides, pesticides, and pollutants from the water, air, and soil.

Range Eastern North America, from Quebec south to Georgia, west to Oklahoma, north to Manitoba; not reported in Alabama.
Discussion Also known as squaw-root, papoose-root. Threatened in Rhode Island. The six stamens and central pistil of this early spring flower mature at different times, assuring cross-pollination. The petals bear fleshy nectar glands that are visited by early solitary bees.

Ladies' edged out in hard-fought contest
Stoke City Ladies 3
Wolves Women 1
Wolves Women failed in their bid to record back-to-back league victories as they were defeated away at Stoke.
Wolves made a superb start and should have taken the lead inside 30 seconds, as the ball ricocheted around inside the Stoke box, before going agonisingly wide of the post as Amber Quick tried in vain to convert a chance at full stretch.
Minutes later Dani Selmes was through on goal, only to be thwarted by the alert Stoke keeper. The home side then forced a wonder save from Wolves' Natalie Hall as the game quickly settled at a high tempo.
Jamilla Palmer sliced an effort wide before Stoke took the lead against the run of play. A fierce effort from 15 yards had too much power for Hall, who was unable to keep the ball out as Wolves fell behind.
Wolves continued to press and take the game to Stoke. Anna Perks slid Palmer in with a neat through ball, but she could only fire wide. Stoke then hit the post in a rare first half attack.
Palmer saw another effort narrowly wide after the half-hour mark, before Selmes twice went close as half time approached.
Wolves ended up being the better side in the first half, but frustratingly found themselves behind at the break.
The second half started in the same vein, as Palmer cannoned a free-kick off the post, before equalising after a good team move. Palmer crossed into the box after a strong run, before the ball came back to her 12 yards out and she made no mistake with a firm strike to give Wolves a deserved equaliser.
Stoke refused to crumble as the game became a tighter affair, but Palmer was then forced off with an injury.
Wolves came under more pressure as the game wore on, with Perks making a stunning last-ditch slide tackle to deny the home side.
Stoke's introduction of Chantelle Gallagher ultimately proved the difference, as the forward scored two quick goals in the last ten minutes to cruelly deny Wolves at least a point.
Wolves' battle-weary players were disappointed at the final whistle, having worked incredibly hard to pull level against a physical Stoke side, only to see the game snatched away from them late on. Perhaps the difference between the two sides was clinical finishing, as Wolves could have been ahead at half time.
A crumb of comfort will be the performance of the players with Perks and Dominique Luke in particular putting in heroic performances in midfield.
Manager Trevor Mullings gave his thoughts after the match, saying: "I'm disappointed that we didn't get at least a point from this match. We created chances, but we need to be more clinical in front of goal. After greater periods of domination, it is frustrating to come away with nothing to show for our hard work. However we can take positives from this - we carried on a lot of our good work from last week's performance and now just need to build on this."
Team: N. Hall, Large, Widdal, Palin, McQuilkin, Perks, Luke (Rimmer), Quick, Palmer (Timmins-Ray), Holmes (Williams), Selmes. Unused Sub: Waltho.

Finding Healthy, Local Food
On Saturday mornings, families all over the state gather at community farmers markets. During warm months, shoppers find berries, collards, peaches and squash lining producers' stalls. Throughout fall and winter, they purchase apples, carrots and persimmons.
To help link farmers with these consumers, the Georgia Grown website makes it even simpler for families to buy local foods.
When you visit the site, you can check out a listing of seasonal produce, find grocers who sell antibiotic-free meat and review listings of healthy recipes. If you like to travel and try new foods along the way, you can also explore farmers markets outside your community, plan a visit to a pick-your-own farm or check out restaurants that spotlight local ingredients.
Georgia Grown is a program from the Georgia Department of Agriculture. To get routine updates, sign up for the Georgia Grown newsletter, or read the latest news on agribusiness in the state.

konq and lj - bad interactions: I use LiveJournal a fair bit, mainly as an aggregator for various friends'
journals. So, 90% of what I do with the LJ site is going to the
aforementioned URL and reading. The other 10% is adding friends.
Konq chooses to always show the top JavaScript menu, taking up the top
three rows. And display most of the text from half a line above the
first menu. This means I have to guess whether I did what I wanted to
right or not, and have to spend about a minute playing around with
moving my mouse around the menus until the button I want to click
becomes visible, and not hidden behind all the menus. Grr.
nanasawa is coming into work very soon for a dist-upgrade (no more
Gentoo), and a new KDE snapshot. Hopefully this one plays nicely with

It has been a while since I last posted. I have gotten Mozilla running on Mac OS X. I have recently written a new file picker for Mozilla to use on Unix and have been working on getting Mozilla running on my new NetWinder I picked up. Blizzard has been kicking ass latley getting things like drag and drop working.
In my never ending quest to make Mozilla faster, I finally got a Sparc Ultra60 to run Quantify on, simply to find out that Quantify does not run on Solaris 8. (Why doesn't Linux have any development tools that don't suck?) arrrgggh!
I think my next goal is to get Mozilla running on my PalmVx. This should be interesting...
I have been playing Crazy Taxi latley. This game is one of those games that really sucks but you keep coming back to play it. I am at the end of both Jet Force Gemini and Final Fantasy VIII. I should really finish those two games and get some new ones. I suppose I should reinstall Windows98 on my NT box here so that I can play some of the cool new games.

FRIDAY'S FAB FINDS™ | JUNE 25 | I Need These Dresses, Perfect Wedding Heels, Free Printable Save the Daves, Lingerie, Badgley Mischka, a Mod Wedding, Music, & Next Week!
↑ Love, right? Deets to follow ↑
Happy Friday, my good friends! I hope you're havin' a good one so far. Me? Well, this week was three parts hella-busy and one part I-had-no-free-time, but also one part I-fell-in-love-with-a-new-site called "Stereomood." If you loooove music but you haaaaate a) having to arrange mixes that'll fit your mood and b) having to wade through the muck only to hit your skip limit on Pandora too soon, then you're gonna love this find. (It's that favorite one I mentioned yesterday. This thing is on like all the time for me. I lovingly refer to it as my life soundtrack. Btw, currently obsessing over the "it's raining" playlist.)
In other news, I'm just psyched beyond all recognition to show you the Finds I have for you today. But first, quick recap: as most of you know, I'm going to be away for the better part of next week (if you have no idea what I'm talking about, click here). {Continue reading…}
