text: There are things that I know and can prove about L's dad R that would get him disbarred. I could ruin the reputation of his late ex-wife J, who was also an attorney and whose attorney father still poops golden tidbits on a daily basis. Things that I wouldn't even have trouble proving, because he was foolish enough to file false documents in two different jurisdictions in this state that disprove each other. The only reason I never did anything about it before is because I was trying to maintain the peace with L. To wit - When L was about 8, R left J and left L with her. They didn't tell me. I found out on President's Day weekend when L told me that her dad wasn't living with them anymore and hadn't been for a long time. I filed for custody of her in response, stating that he had essentially abandoned L to J, who had no legal or parental rights. R filed a sworn response in M county, where we lived, that he had in fact only left the home the Friday before President's Day, and was only making arrangements for a place to live with L, and that L would be with him soon. Three months went by before the hearing, and the judge gave a delayed verdict waiting for R to make up his mind. In the end, the Judge ruled that he would not decide because there was no final divorce. (What a drunken ****.) In the meantime, R filed for divorce from J in C County, where none of us lived, one county over saying that he had been legally separated from J since the October before the President's Day weekend in question and was eligible for a final divorce decree. J signed the same divorce papers that R had left in October, and swore in court that R hadn't left until nearly March. The state bar rules of conduct says that they can't lie, they can't lie in court, and that as soon as they realize that they may have made a misrepresentation to the court they must correct it. To be honest, the only thing I am waffling on is whether to sick an attorney on him and force him to sweat, maybe even ask for a settlement from his malpractice insurance on him, or just make the complaint and let the chips fall where they may. I hate to sound this way, but the more he would squirm, the better I would feel. He's gotten away with this for 29 years, and I've never played anything but fair with him because poor under-represented people don't get to lie, and I'm just not that good at it. I have no doubt that I have already burned my bridges with L - I no longer serve a purpose for her - so, what is the downside to either of these propositions?

SATB and SAB semi-chorus
Chanticleer at the American Choral Directors Association convention, 2011
Symphony Hall, Chicago
American Choral Directors Association - Raymond W. Brock commission, 2011
ECS No. 7715, SATB and SAB semi-chorus
Program Notes
Me to tere paas me (I Am Within You) is the third of the Three Mystical Choruses. The Indian mystic and poet Kabir (1440 -1518) provides the text for the final piece in the trilogy. Kabir was born in Varanasi (Benares), India of Muslim parents, but later became a disciple of the Hindu bkahti saint Ramananda. He referred to himself as "a child of Allah and Ram," and his poetry is honored in Islamic, Hindu, and Sikh traditions. Although a Muslim, Kabir's personal beliefs incorporated Hindu thought and philosophy. He spoke of the inherent unity of humanity and espoused the view that God could not be constrained by sectarian and religious divides. Much of his poetry reflects a universal view of spirituality and a rejection of religious dogma, both in Hinduism and Islam. In Mein to tere paas me (I Am Within You), Kabir states numerous spiritual practices, pathways and edifices that humankind employ in the search for God; but he insists that God cannot be found in these practices, pathways or edifices. Rather, we must come to the realization that the divine is within each of us. If we seek in earnest, we may come to this realization through a single moment of faith.

Where do you search for me, my devotee? I am within you
Not in pilgrimage, not in signs, not in solitudes
Not in temples, not in mosques, neither in Kaba nor in Kailash*
Devotee, I am within you.
I am not in prayers, nor in meditation, nor in resolutions of fasting,
I am not in rituals of Karma; I do not dwell in yogic exercises, nor renunciation
Not in vital force nor in the body, nor in the universal sky,
Not in Nature, Not in the breath of the breath
Seek in earnest; in one moment of the search
Quickly, you shall find me out.
Says Kabir, Listen well: I can be founding a single moment of faith.

Congrats, Washington: Your drivers show more honesty than those from down south.
A new poll from Seattle-based PEMCO Insurance found that Washington drivers are more likely to leave a note with contact information after hitting an unattended car than motorists from Oregon.
The numbers speak for themselves: 67 percent of Washington state drivers leave their information, while only 53 percent of those in Oregon would do the same.
"We don't know what to make of the difference between answers from Portland and Washington drivers. Maybe that's best left to psychologists," said Jon Osterberg, PEMCO spokesperson.
The poll also found that "men are involved in significantly more car accidents than women, regardless of who's at fault." Also, Washington drivers tend to call 911 following their most recent accident more often (56 percent), compared to 39 percent of those from Oregon who did the same. But Oregonians (69 percent) file a non-emergency accident report within a day of an accident more often than Washington drivers (52 percent).
Speaking of the whole Washington vs. Oregon debate in the startup world, this slick video just released today shows off 11 of Portland's top tech startups as part of a new endeavor to attract more talent to the Rose City.

I'm not sure that this list is the best place to discuss egregious operating habits on the satellites. It's my impression that most of these are due to newcomers experimenting with setups that have poor reception or who are very occasional users of the satellites. But this list isn't, in my experience, well subscribed by those two audiences. Recently, someone on the list made a longish document regarding satellite etiquette, and it was picked up by the RSS services. Perhaps a web or wiki page on these matters would be most effective. Another thought: people who are failing to receive their own signals or who are making long CQs to tune their setup (which I suspect is going on in the situation described above) are, in fact, doing that which the satellites are meant to support: experimentation with space communication. If this is so, then they represent the future of our branch of the hobby, not merely an annoyance. Our advice should be geared toward improving their experiments and helping them build satellite communication skills; if their tentative steps disrupt our regular communication is, to my mind, secondary. It always concerns me that newcomers reading a thread like this will be frightened away. It might seem that there are too many ways to be branded a lid in satellite operations, and if people on email are this judgemental, it must be brutal on the birds. I'm sure everyone will agree that this is not the case: a new callsign, however deaf :-), is greeted with great enthusiasm and everyone tries to support everyone else with technical advice and a kind word. We want you to succeed and to learn about the amazing mix of planetary physics and RF that makes satellite operations so engaging. > That's all. As somewhere someone told those who had not been experienced in RTTY contests, it is a general habit on that mode! > > Than there is no rule to tell QSP-partners even your name every time! Beside this, some tells everything about his equipment, the wx, etc. > > THERE IS NO TIME TO DO THAT ON SATELLITES! > > Learn the only sensible radioamateur QSO protocol what OH8MBN Mika or UA9CS Igor uses -not to mention K3SZH and some other regulars on AO7. > > > > > Blame those that encouraged and built AO51... > > That was one of the gratest mistake of the history of Amateur Radio. > > > Why was it built?? > > ...that is the question. > Again, for the benefit of the larger audience, it should be noted that this is of historical interest only. The current AMSAT-NA mission statement involves the production of HEO satellites while supporting others in LEO work, FM or not. There may be those of us, like me, who find AO-51 provided a fine stepping-stone to linear work, but we are happy to have our membership fees and donations support the HEO mission. Moreover, the dichotomy between FM and linear LEO is a somewhat false one. VO-52 has shown that a linear transponder can be used in FM over part of the world and linear usage over others. Kiwi sat and others intend to provide both services in their upcoming birds. I'm grateful to be able to use an FM bird in portable circumstances, since I don't have a full-duplex SSB radio that I can carry around in the forest (now that would be a great homebrew project :-) 73, Bruce VE9QRP

Alastair Cook's decision to not enforce the follow-on was well and truly vindicated, after his side wrapped-up the second Test with more than a day to spare.
The England skipper took criticism for his decision to bat again despite having a 391-run lead on first innings, but quick batting in their second innings allowed the hosts to bowl Pakistan out on day four and confirm a 330-run win.
The victory came at a cost for England, with Ben Stokes injuring a calf whilst bowling, yet they have levelled the series and move on to Edgbaston with plenty of momentum having outplayed the tourists for the entirety of the Old Trafford fixture.
Root and Cook make hay to set mammoth target before Anderson makes early inroads with the ball
Joe Root and Cook picked-up where they left off on Sunday evening, adding quick runs to set up a would-be world record chase for Pakistan.
Returning on 98/1, the pair added 75 runs in nine overs to set a ludicrous target of 565, while giving their bowlers more than 160 overs to pick up the ten wickets needed for victory.
Cook was unbeaten on 76 to back-up his first innings ton, while Root took his match total to 325 runs, with 71 not out from 48 deliveries, and was later named man-of-the-match.
With the bowlers refreshed having had their feet up while Cook batted, England's leader of the attack Jimmy Anderson backed-up his skipper's decision by knocking over two wickets early in Pakistan's second innings.
After removing his bunny Shan Masood for the sixth time in three Test matches for just one, the Lancashire seamer then trapped Azhar Ali LBW just before the lunch break, to leave the visitors in a perilous position at 47/2.
Woakes and Moeen take three apiece as England level series
The afternoon session saw England continue to go in search of wickets, and it was the underappreciated Moeen Ali who came up with two important breakthroughs.
After having opener Mohammad Hafeez caught by Gary Ballance for 42, the Worcestershire all-rounder then claimed the wicket of Younis Khan for 28, saving Cook some embarrassment after he had shelled a chance when Younis was in the early stages of his knock.
The third and most important wicket to fall before tea, saw Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq removed for 35 by England's man-of-the-moment Chris Woakes. Playing at a delivery he could have left alone, Misbah diverted the ball onto his own stumps, giving Woakes the prized wicket his efforts had deserved.
After the tea interval, it took England just 21 overs to claim the final five wickets needed for victory. Sarfraz Ahmed's poor series continued as he fell for seven to Woakes, before the win was all-but confirmed when the last recognised batsman Asad Shafiq was given out LBW off Anderson for 39.
Yasir Shah was LBW to Ali for 10, before Joe Root's second delivery of the match bought England their ninth wicket after he had Wahab Riaz caught by Cook for 19.
It was then left to Woakes to claim the final wicket, with the 26-run partnership finally broken when Mohammad Amir slapped the ball straight to Stuart Broad as England levelled the series at 1-1 with two to play.

art selection and commentary by Heidi J. Hornik and Mikeal C. ParsonsAugust 4, 2016
People assume that silence and peace can be simply harnessed together, silence as Xanax for the soul. But that's not how deserts work.
The people at Friendship Church make creative use of art. They have also learned to be creative as they form their community and shape their narratives.
First church members reclaimed the corner as a peaceful space. Then, as it got colder, they began talking about expanding their ministry.

I posted pics of my turkey wings on Instagram (follow me) this past sunday and promised a recipe post here on the blog...so, here it is...
It is soooo easy to make and sooo good!
First, I bought just two whole turkey wings...just enough for me and Mini...we hate leftovers.
Now, I find turkey wings to be a little gamey...so I soak them in a little vinegar and water...I cover them with this mixture and place them in the fridge for about an hour.
Remove them from the fridge, drain of all liquid and dry them well with a paper towel.
Next, cover the wings with olive oil...salt...& pepper...use your hand...rub it in.
Put them in an oven proof dish...
I like to add sliced red onions (1 whole) (I'll tell you why later ) and chopped garlic (4 clove)...and spread it over the meat.
...Now, pour a 1/2 cup of water into the bottom of the pan...and cover with foil.
This will create a nice steam environment for your meat...making it extra tender.
Turn your oven up to 425 degrees and cook the meat covered for about 30 minutes...
Next, turn the oven down to 350 degrees...uncover your meat...and cook for another 30 minutes.
Next, get your favorite bottle of bar-b-que sauce and pour the entire bottle over the meat...
Place it back in the oven for another 15 minutes or so...until the sauce is heated.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for at least 15 minutes...Meat so tender, it falls off the bone.
...and chow down...I roasted some green beans since the oven was already on and made a couple of biscuits...
Oh yeah, remember when I told you I love to use sliced red onions...that's because they make the best sauce when baked in bar-b-que sauce...perfect for dipping my biscuits in...YUM!

How to Know if a Church Visitor Will Last
April 11, 2016 - Current Events, Leadership, Ministry Briefing, Start Here, Uncategorized
Pastor Carey Nieuwhof writes that a church shopper starts out with the same questions that any typical church visitor has, but shoppers quickly turn to their own needs and priorities, criticizing churches that don't serve them. However, those seeking a church home will be more interested in learning, growing, and serving, getting involved rather than focusing on what they can get.Go here to read the full story. Get stories like this and more each week with Ministry Briefing! Order now and receive your first four issues for just $1! Why this story matters for church leaders: Carey Nieuwhof helps leaders sort through the two kinds of visitors your church can expect. One can revitalize your church and the other can wear it out.
- Visitors start with the same questions: Initially you can't tell the difference between a demanding church shopper and a visitor seeking to become part of your church.
- Who ministers to who? The goal for churches is to empower their members to serve each other and the community. Those who come only to receive will drain your church.
- Who wants to change? The unchurched will most likely seek ways to change and grow, while church shoppers will evaluate your church and demand that your church change.
Save Time. Lead Better. Ministry Briefing finds only the top news items, cultural trends, and resources that you need to know about each week… stories that will help you save time and lead better.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for California State Parks Foundation, San Francisco, CA, USA
I've volunteered with the California State Parks Foundation for Earth Day, and attended 3 of their Park Advocacy Days in Sacramento. The Foundation really knows how to get citizens active in and advocating for parks. Every event has been extremely well-organized. I left feeling like I was having a real impact in really important work and learned quite a bit along the way. Not only are these guys efficient and knowledgable, but they are just fantastic people to work along side of. I really believe that it is their work that has kept our parks as great as they are. I look forward to being a part of these activities next year.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
their grassroots organizing to get people out in support of parks.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I wouldn't.


text: The "kinda" respite is coming to an end. difficult child and GFGmom insisted that he move to her house for this school year. I agreed on the condition that his grades stayed up etc. etc. NOT! This weekend I have to go get him and bring him home. He will probably insist that he is staying with his Mom. Meanwhile, easy child/difficult child is being "good" most of the time but the brain damage really has taken away his capability of focusing and it is stressful. He is proud of himself because he is only getting drunk once or twice a week now. He gets his drivers license back in less than a month. More stress. Anyway if some of you are riding the crest of the wave I could use some spare strength of character. It's getting harder every year to do what needs to be done! Whine. DDD

I wonder if these old time pumps would have fared well in today's self-serve world. I think they were much more complicated back when they were actually in use. At least that's what I remember as a kid, driving into the Shell station across from my dads work. We'd drive over the trip bell which would clang in the shop where Rolf would be working on an oil change or repair. He'd come out and greet us with a smile, put in a key and turn the crank, place the hose in the tank and then proceed to check the oil and wash the windows. Now that was service! This gas station from the past is in the ghost town of Bodie, California. Wouldn't you just love to drive that shiny blue pickup?!

Zimmerman's lawyers want the jury to believe that Trayvon became overly aggressive because he has a trace amount of marijuana in his system and justifies Zimmerman's claim of self-defense.
But so what if a trace amount of marijuana was found in Trayvon Martin's system before George Zimmerman shot and killed him?
The facts of the case remain the same: Zimmerman followed Trayvon when police told Zimmerman to stand down; he profiled Trayvon for no legitimate reason, he told the police dispatcher that "these assholes always get away," and then he shot Trayvon – who was unarmed– on a rainy street in Sanford, Florida last year.
This much we know.
And when has marijuana ever been known to cause rage and aggression? Some experts argue that marijuana could be used successfully to treat anger management because it makes many people more mellow, relaxed and low-key.
And here's a key question: Who was Zimmerman talking about when he told police that "f-kin' punks" and "these assholes always get away?" WHO always get away? Black men wearing hoodies? Teenagers carrying Skittles? Unarmed black men walking through gated communities? And what did he mean?
We may never get the answers to these questions even though his statements to police go to the heart of perceived malicious intent before he stalked and shot Trayvon Martin.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and says he shot Martin in self-defense during a scuffle in the townhome complex where he lived. The fight took place on a dark, rainy night in February 2012, and there were no eyewitnesses who saw the entire fight. Several witnesses saw and heard parts of the struggle that left Martin dead with a bullet in his heart.
The judge will likely send the case to the jury in a few days.
And then we'll wait.

Not Guilty…
Grill sportin'
Pot smokin'
All up in a gated community…
When confronted, behaved typically
Beggin' for it
Following suit while lookin for loot.
Foo got the boot and chose the hard way.
What a mess.
We need to stop and take a deep breath on this case.It's o.k. for the prosecution to show evidence, witnesses and bring up G.Z.'s past, but when the defense brings up the same most blacks don't see it as revelant.Now I see why there are no blacks on the jury, they are already biased against this man for murder regardless of the evidence & witnesses to bolster his story.There is no way this should be a murder conviction. Even though this man may have provoked the confrontation between him and TM, this man was fearful for his life and used any means necessary to save his life. Something anyone of us would have done the same.
Well if he feared for his life why did he exit his vehicle after being told not to and wait for the police…
And if Zimmerman is so "soft", why do he carry a gun and hunted Trayvon when he was told to do not follow Trayvon? I also will say this, "I do not know no one who carries a gun who scream for help from an unarmed person even if the unarmed person is trying to fight".
According to GZ's statemnts he got out to get a street location to give to 911 it was then he was
aprouched by Tray. I carry a gun and would try any means first (including screeming out) to avoid using it.
Trayvon Martin: Prudent To Suspect The Worst
The Trayvon Martin case, I believe, is really about the effects so-called Black Culture has had on the rest of society. In pretty much every city across this country in which there is a population of poor Blacks, violence and theft is rampant. And in those cities, the uneducated — pants falling off their behinds — teenagers have proven time after time to be the most dangerous beings walking the streets. In this day and age, it is not racist to suspect a Black teen in the wrong neighborhood of plotting to commit an act of violence or theft; it is prudent.
Black people have trained the rest of society to look upon them as individuals not to be trusted. I was in the grocery store the other day, when in comes two Black teens. The store manager (White) immediately took notice, circling around to keep an eye on them. But before he could do anything about it, they had stolen several items from the shelf, and then proceeded to flee the scene with the stolen booty in hand, laughing all the way. What do you think that store manager do the next time similarly dressed Back teens enter his domain?
In another situation, I had a conversation with a young man who had recently moved from Brooklyn, NY, to Baltimore. He told me that before he left Brooklyn, his friends in Baltimore warned; "If you move to this city, you will be a racist within a month after arriving here." He argued against the notion telling his friends that he was used to living among ethnic people in Brooklyn, and that maybe they were over-reacting. He said it took less than a month to despise the Black teens that roam the streets of Baltimore at night, without so much as the slightest respect for others, and that they were rude, crude, loud and made no bones about being socially unacceptable. Oh, and his bike was stolen by a group of Black teens who surrounded him, threatening, and in another incident, he was mugged.
Did George Zimmerman over-react, or was he just following the script taught to the rest of society by Blacks, which says you can't trust a Black teen walking in neighborhoods where they don't belong?
You are truly an ignorant, bigoted, racist, uneducated and hateful creature. I work with poor white teens who perpetrate the exact behaviors as you have addresses. They are addicted to all kinds of drugs and alcohol, have babies out of wedlock, murder, rape, steal, wear their "pants falling off their behinds" truant, drop outs, dirty, smelly, etc. The entire Viking behavior. So don't try to portray Blacks as the only group of offenders because Whites act in the same despicable manner but the media fails to deliver reportage because it gives the world the false perception that Whites are superior. You should be ashamed to spread vitriol as you have so poorly done. I hope GZ rots in Hell along with you. He's a murderer and has a malady of the heart. Despicable commentary.
Razil4u… Please! There is no comparison on the face of this earth that you can make to the destruction and ignorance displayed by Black people in the wonton destruction of each other. No other race of people in History, have committed more violent against each other than so-called Black people. In the last 3 weeks alone, in just two major cities, 90 Blacks shot, scores murdered and injured by Blacks. July 1st, 400 Black teens in the streets of North carolina, beating, stabbing, and trying to murdered each other. In the time it takes me to reply to your simple-minded attempt to insult me, 3 Blacks were just murdered by Blacks somewhere in this country. In the early 1900s, 95% 0f all Negroes murdered were killed by Whites, today 98 percent of Blacks murdered are killed by Blacks. This is the reality of the scary, violent, hateful, ignorance associated with Black Culture, which is simply the sympathetic embracement of White racist Ideology!
Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that GZ already has Trayvons Hoody framed for his wall???
It better be for the wall in his prison cell — just sayin
And the relevance? GZ STARTED/INSTIGATED/PROVOKED a fight with TM. TM was kicking GZs ass after which GZ pulled out a gun to tip the odds in his favor….This is clearly NOT self defense. Guilty of manslaugher, but GZ will be cleared of 2nd degree murder charges and set free.

The iPad is Apple's latest hit, lets owners enjoy all of the games and apps developed for the iPhone on a larger format that's just as powerful and portable. With access to thousands of apps (and more added each and every week), iPad owners have a ton of choices when it comes to games to play, including a wide range of poker games.
iPad poker apps include single player games that pit you against computer opponents in tournaments and cash games as well as multi-player apps that let you sling chips with friends or compete against thousands of poker players from around the world. Top poker tournament series such as the World Series of Poker and World Poker Tour have each released poker games for the iPad that put players right in the poker tournament action they've previously only been able to watch on television or play in the Real world.
As far as multi-player poker games are concerned, the popular game developer "Zynga" offers a poker app for the iPad that's very similar to the experience when you play poker online at sites such as Full Tilt or PokerStars. While you can't play for real money, Zynga's network lets thousands of poker fans play together at cash games and tournaments, making it quick and easy to find a seat in a game whenever you fire up your iPad to play.
If you're a big online poker fan, it'd seem to be a natural fit but Apple's strict policy on not approving gambling apps for distribution or sale in the App Store, Apple has left online poker fans out in the cold, so far.
The only real option to play online poker for real money on your iPad is to use a remote desktop service; this lets you use your iPad to access and control poker software installed on your desktop. It's not a perfect solution and can be laggy, but it's the only way at the moment to play online poker with your iPad. Use any of the RDP app that you get on the App store.
If you are desperate enough, try installing Frash on iPad to enable few flash games online.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dad has lived alone since our mother passed away. He is increasingly lonely, forgetful and gets lost easily. How would he fit in?
These are issues families commonly face. Sunshine Care's small home model easily allows residents to connect with others who share similar memories. Way-finding issues are practically nonexistent at Sunshine Care as the single-level homes are designed around a central living, activity area with short hallways leading to the bedrooms. Each resident's photo is framed at his or her bedroom door as a reminder to where he lives.
Do you have both private and shared rooms?
We offer private as well as shared rooms.
Can we bring dad's own furnishings and hang pictures on the walls?
Residents are encouraged to bring their own furnishings and personal effects. Pictures are great for memory enhancement and lend a lovely personal touch to each resident's room.
What should we bring?
Besides bringing the usual hygiene items and clothing, look around their living environment and identify those things that are meaningful. Personal items that can be touched, looked at and reminisced about are great. Don't forget those favorite slippers and warm sweater.
Team Members
What kind of dementia training does your staff have?
Management provides the Sunshine Care staff with ongoing dementia and other training relating to the special needs of seniors with dementia and/or other physical limitations beyond that which is required by the state of California.
Mealtime is important to my mother and she likes good food. What are your meals like?
Think comfort foods. Our menu rotates regularly and includes familiar foods that are both nutritious and tasty, using freshly home grown organic vegetables, fruits and herbs.
Am I correct in my understanding that you are serving more natural, organically grown and raised foods?
Sunshine Care is on the leading edge in the field of senior care. We believe that eliminating pesticides and antibiotics from the processing of foods inherently improves the overall quality of meals. Things just taste better! The fruits and vegetables used in our menu are grown on our property and used seasonally.
Can residents have pets?
Yes. Sunshine Care welcomes approved pets, as they provide love and companionship.
Who pays for medications?
The cost of medications is not covered in the monthly rent. Medication costs are governed by the resident's insurance and medicare. The responsible party then pays for any deductible. All medications are then centrally stored and dispensed according to the resident's written physician's orders.
Can my mother continue to see her own physician?
It's hard to get dad out to the doctor's office. Do you know a doctor who makes house calls?
The choice of doctors is guided by a resident's medical insurance. If the insurance is an HMO plan, then the choices are made within a policy driven group. Example: If you have Kaiser insurance then you must use the Kaiser doctors. If the insurance is a PPO plan, or straight Medicare, then the resident can continue to use his or her previous physician. There is a service available that provides physicians and psychiatrists who make house calls.
Mom likes to be pampered and do "lady" type activities.
Sunshine Care's personal assistants treat residents to such luxuries as makeup and manicures, lotion hand rubs, and bubble baths. Everyone enjoys teatime with homemade cookies.
Some days dad likes to join in with the group and other days he prefers to watch. Does your program accommodate both watchers and joiners? What do you have for residents who like to participate in more physical activities?
Sunshine Care's Activity Director plans and implements a full program with activities for all levels of interest and ability, including field trips, movies, shopping, and sightseeing. Resident's rooms open to peaceful gardens that encourage walks or sitting by the fountains and bird watching. Our wheelchair-accessible state-of-the-art greenhouse is designed for resident participation. Sunshine Care residents enjoy weekly water color classes facilitated by a local artist in partnership with the San Diego Alzheimer's Association. This program is a big hit with residents and families alike.
Do you have a van with a wheelchair lift?
Sunshine Care residents enjoy the pleasure of frequently scheduled trips in the wheelchair-accessible facility van. The outings include sightseeing trips, shopping, movies, and field trips. Monthly field trips have included the Oceanside Harbor, Coronado Island, Carlsbad Flower Fields, Oceanside Pier, Vista Village Mural, Wild Animal Park, and Bates Nut Farm.

Under the direction of David Chipperfield Felger, David Chipperfield Architects Berlin has won the competition for the design of the Nobel Center- "Nobelhust" in Stockholm.
Project Description
The new Nobel Center is situated as a "Solitaire" in a porminent water-egde position on Blasieholmen next to the Swedish National Museum in the centre of Stockholm. "Nobelhuset" gives the Nobel prize a home for the first time in its history, strenghtening Blasieholmen as an even more prominent cultural destination and celebrating human endeavour in the centre of the city. It unites under one roof an auditorium, a museum, conference facilities, offices, a library, a restaurant, a cafe with bar and a shop Read more.
"According to the statement of the jury, the proposed building has an elegant, timeless and attractive external appearance with a clear identity of its own. The revised façade design, with its shimmering vertical brass elements and glass, has a lofty elegance and quality that can be associated with the Nobel Prize.
The transparent ground floor helps create a pleasant setting in the immediate vicinity of the building, thereby also enriching the urban public space. Meanwhile the building's moderate footprint creates good opportunities for a public city park in a sunny south-east position.
The jury is of the opinion that after additional refinement in collaboration with the client and with public authorities, the proposal can lead to a dignified, exciting and inviting Nobel Center building while helping create a better, more engaging and beautiful urban setting on the Blasieholmen peninsula in central Stockholm.
The Nobel Center will build up its activities around the Nobel Prize's unique combination of disciplines – sciences, literature and peace. The ambition is to make the Nobel Center one of Stockholm's most attractive destinations, including public spaces for exhibitions, programme and school activities, events and interdisciplinary meetings of various kinds."

I still can't believe so many have come out for Santorum though, it is just jaw-dropping how easily the people are controlled by the media. All it took was one week of brainwashing, less than a week considering the holidays...

So if Santorum takes away do you think the media will still be harping on about how Iowa doesn't mean anything? I bet not. I always heard that third place was the place to be in Iowa actually.
