Seventies: If this is the case, I'll be really focused more so on genealogy. I will have to keep busy.
vkn: so furlough days will be tax write off seventies

Seventies: lol I already have a plan in place alt.
alt: Oops, you DON'T get the time
Seventies: I've never been furloughed.. If the Furlough goes through... which it will... I will see if I can get unemployment if its an extended period of time.
vkn: well lets pray it is short lived
alt: I think we came close once or twice during my civil service career (32 years), but it never happened.
Seventies: The last furlough was in 1995.
alt: oh okay, I've been gone since '87.
vkn: we called it flextime
Seventies: Also we've had close calls several times in the last few years. Three times.
vkn: it gets to be scary
alt: it's a shame that Congress can hold gov't empoyees hostage with thie foolishness, but it not affect them.
Seventies: I expect that we will get hit hard, but the legistlative body will sitll get paid 6 and 7 figure salaries... :{
vkn: double shame
Seventies: exactly alt. Most gov't employees are not GS 14-18 or SES employees.
alt: the usual victims are Unions, Gov't emplyoees and the Postal workers.
Seventies: Right. Just what the Conservative Tea Partiers wanted. A broke gov't.
alt: andI forgot they always threaten Teachers and the Educational system
Seventies: Don't get me started with schools. They have become a money making venture. Charter schools bring in big, BIG money! Are the children being educated?
alt: do you have Charter or Voucher schools in your area Seventies ?
Seventies: No. NYS won't allow it legally.
alt: is that right?
Seventies: Yes, there can be only 10 in the entire state. By-law One of the things I looked into a while back.
alt: They're BIG time here in Ohio and the thing is that Public money follows the kids in the support of "for profit" Charter schools... like you say .. there are BIG bucks involved
Seventies: We are headed towards a dumber generation of people where only the wealthy can have a decent education. Scary
alt: yep, these are not good times... except for genealogy researchers LOL LOL
Seventies: lol lol and those over the age of 65... LOL the song "Good Times" just popped in my head...
alt: watch it Seventies ..... over 65 .....it's for those who have PAID their dues LOL and are still paying ain't that right vkn?
Seventies: Who says you have to be 65 to have paid dues... ??? People of all ages make sacrifices everyday. But y'all at least get SS... lol We aren't even going to get that! lol Yet I pay a good chunk of my check into it.
alt: I don't get SS
Seventies: Unfortunate. Well folks, I gotta get going and make my dollar until this furlough comes through... smh
alt: what are you under? PERS? I retired under the CSR system.
Seventies: FERS... we 'invest' in our own retirement.. smh It almost makes me really want to get out of gov't work... seriously. Except my children need health insurance and braces.
alt: okay, I meant FERS.. that's what replaced CSR.... a 'terrible' system FERS IMHO
Seventies: Yes FERS is awful. Do you know how much money gets taken out of your check to include health insurance, taxes and FERS... its like what the h3ll am I working for again? Ridiculous.
alt: yes I know.... I had CSR, taxes, insurance (life & health)
Seventies: salary is not a great motivator, I tell you that much.. lol
alt: Well, that may be true, but you do have a good solid job and that's not to be overlooked.
Seventies: People who work for the gov't look for job security and because they love it and in some cases they wouldn't have the chance to do it outside of the gov't. Not every gov't job is a high faluting job... sad to say. I just had to say faluting.. lol
alt: so true, it is doubtful that I could of had the position I had in the private sector during the early years of my career.
Seventies: Exactly. I really gotta go... So I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Be well Mr. Thomas.
alt: you too Ms Seventies
Seventies: :} Take care.

Like all of America — and the world, for that matter — I mourn those killed in Friday's tragic school shooting in Connecticut and share the grief felt by those who survived.
The heartbreak of such an event is unimaginable. And yet, as a parent, it is actually a heartbreak that I must confess to imagining on all too many occasions.
It is a confession that I hate to make, but I am willing to bet that I am not the only parent who has experienced such horrific thoughts.
The last time it happened for me was only last Tuesday. I had been reading and studying and was disconnected from the outside world. My wife came home to tell me about the shooting at a suburban mall outside Portland, Ore. My youngest daughter, who was supposed to come home the next day, goes to school at Portland State University and has been known to frequent an occasional food court at a suburban mall or two.
I tried to be reasonable about the whole thing. This mall was southeast of downtown Portland where she lives and she doesn't have a car and she was probably in class or maybe working, but still ….
Yes, but still …
My heart leapt into my throat and I did what any worried modern father would do to get in touch with his 20-year-old daughter — I hurriedly sent a text message. It read: "Are you OK? Heard about shooting. Was worried." It was only 13 minutes later that I received a glorious reply, which read: "I'm totally okay. Clackamas is pretty far away from me and it was at their mall."
That response allowed me to exhale and offer a little prayer of gratitude. She later told me that one of her friends was actually in the food court when the shooting began and she had to bolt out of there so quickly that she left her cellphone on one of the tables.
The same thing had happened a few months earlier with my oldest daughter, who goes to college at the Art Institute of Seattle and works downtown.
A gunman had gone on a killing rampage in the Emerald City and areas of downtown had been closed and a search for the shooter was under way. Details about it were sketchy, but there were dead people and there was chaos. The same dynamic occurred inside me in that case: sudden gut-swirling concern (OK, fright), a frantic search for details, a mental calculation as to the odds, an inner voice telling me to remain calm, a text from worried modern dad, a rapid response from loving daughter assuring modern dad of her safety and a gigantic sigh of relief and prayer of gratitude from modern dad.
About 18 months ago, I experienced a similar event with my son, who goes to college at the University of Nevada in Reno.
News flashed across the screen on the day that there had been a devastating crash into the grandstands at the Reno Air Races, many killed, many more injured.
As I sat there, I found myself imagining those "unimaginable" thoughts: This was an event that my son would like and might attend; classes had not yet begun so he would have free time; he might be at work; but wait, oh no, he works at the airport!
That realization caused me to skip right over the calming inner voice step, but the rest of them were taken: concern, detail search, calculations of odds, text from modern dad, a somewhat delayed response from modern son, an immense sigh of relief, a drop in blood pressure and a prayer of gratitude.
I would venture that there are plenty of parents who identify with those feelings of relief. They might chuckle about it afterward or feel a little foolish or even narcissistic.
But I think the truth is that it is what most parents do. It's right there in the job description: "must be worried at all times about safety of children." It was not until I became a father that I understood why my parents had been so unreasonably and ridiculously concerned about the safety of their only child.
While I am incredibly grateful for those sighs of relief that I have been blessed to enjoy, Friday's tragedy in Connecticut reminds me that such concerns are not necessarily silly or unfounded.
There are many, many parents and family members in Connecticut and around the country who do not get to receive that reassuring text or breathe that sign of relief. They now must endure the unbelievable pain of tragic and senseless loss.
It is a pain that will never leave them. How could it?
Unfortunately, I have nothing to give them that will ease their pain or help them cope. I don't think anyone can. All we can do is offer them our deepest condolences and sympathies. Today, I say prayers for them.

Salad Recipes
Mushroom Tofu Stir Fry Recipe
My husband Lulu's niece and nephew spent the afternoon with us. It was so nice having so many children in the house. Of course, our daughter Aria was the center of attention and she loved it! While they were playing with the baby, I prepared dinner. I cooked some brown rice (Lulu's request since the beginning of the new year) and made mushroom tofu stir fry.
The stir fry is composed of combined shiitake mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and enoki mushrooms, Japanese eggplant, sugar snap peas and tofu, of course!

Mushroom Manicotti Pasta Recipe
I hope your long President's Day weekend was a lovely as ours. We had some company on Saturday and had a relaxing Sunday and Monday. Yesterday, we made a few appetizers and mostly snacked on these bite-size finger foods and a few sweets throughout the day. By the evening, I still felt pretty full and assumed everyone else was too, but I was so wrong. I ran into the kitchen and improvised a meal with one Portobello mushroom, ricotta cheese, manicotti pasta shells, tomato sauce and a jar of peach jalapeno preserves from our friend Martha at San Saba River Pecan Company.
I completed a salad and mushroom manicotti dish in less than 40 minutes. The challenge was to turn a handful of key ingredients into a dish as fast as possible before baby Aria woke up from her afternoon nap. Come to think of it, that sounds like a fun Food Network Challenge! At any rate, I'm proud to report my husband Lulu and family absolutely loved the dishes. I'll share the salad with you soon.

Granola, Berry & Yogurt Parfait Recipe
With the long weekend and an extra week off of school, the big girls have been staing up late and lazing it up in bed until 11am-ish the last few days. I decided they weren't spoiled enough, so I brought them breakfast in bed. Baby Aria and I prepared the parfaits mixing fresh berries, kiwi, granola and honey-flavored yogurt. Simple, sweet, healthy and filling.
If you feel the urge to make freshly baked granola at home, my friend Sarah at Nuts About Granola offers a "bake-it-yourself" granola kit (it costs only $3.99). It has been widely available in supermarkets on the East Coast and is also available online. I'm a huge fan of their product, and you'll actually find my recipe on the back of the box! Give it a try and you'll be as Nuts about Granola as I am.

Homemade Focaccia Recipe
Writing my second cookbook, Banh Mi, which comes out this summer, reminded me how much I love baking bread (in the cookbook I show how to make an authentic Vietnamese baguette). Nothing beats the smell of freshly baked bread right out of your own oven.
Today, I made focaccia, which is an Italian flatbread that I topped with Mediterranean ingredients. I kept this version very simple by limiting the toppings to only olives and cheddar cheese. It tasted amazing!

Max Steiner
... was one of the pioneers of Hollywood film scoring, and also one of the most prolific, writing music for more than 250 movies over nearly four decades.
His landmark 1933 music for KING KONG marked the first time that a dramatic underscore played a vital role in the filmmaking process, helping to define characters and create atmosphere in ways that only music can. He also pioneered the use of the click-track, a device that enable precise synchronization of music to film during recording and one that is still in use to this day.
Steiner spent the early part of his career at RKO, serving as music director on such classic Fred Astaire musicals as FLYING DOWN TO RIO and TOP HAT. But his magnum opus was his sweeping, multi-faceted score for MGM's 1939 classic GONE WITH THE WIND, whose "Tara" theme has become one of the most-recognized melodies ever written for film.
He won Oscars for THE INFORMER, NOW VOYAGER and SINCE YOU WENT AWAY and did much of his best work during a 30-year association with Warner Bros., including such Humphrey Bogart classics as CASABLANCA, THE BIG SLEEP and THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE. He surprised everyone by writing a pop hit at the age of 71: the theme for A SUMMER PLACE spent nine weeks at number 1 in 1960 and won a Grammy as Record of the Year. Steiner died in 1971.

The Ford Mustang, originally introduced in the 1965 model year, was the first car to be labeled as a "pony car," a sport coupe with a long hood and short rear deck. The Ford Mustang has been a consistent offering for Ford since the model's inception and is Ford's oldest nameplate in the U.S.
Known for its unique silhouette, the Ford Mustang perpetuated its sports car allure by offering performance and engineering to match its iconic look. Mustangs gradually grew longer and heavier until 1974, when the model returned to its original size and concept.

The base V-6 model is equipped with a 3.7-liter V-6 engine that produces 305 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, and is paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic transmission is optional on some models.
The 2012 Ford Mustang offers the following models in their lineup: V-6, V-6 Premium, GT, GT Premium, Boss 302, and Shelby GT500.

Standard safety and security features include dual-stage front airbags, front seat side airbags, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, battery saver, MyKey, remote keyless entry with keyhead transmitters, and tire pressure monitoring system.
At every trim level, the 2012 Ford Mustang offers muscle car performance, safety, and convenience.
The 2012 Ford Mustang V-6 is equipped with a 3.7-liter V-6 engine that produces 305 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, and is paired with a standard six-speed manual transmission.

Seating features include a four-way manually adjustable driver's seat, a two-way manually adjustable front passenger seat and a 50/50 split-fold-down rear seat (in the coupe only).

It includes all GT Premium features plus Brembo 14" vented front rotors with four-piston calipers, forged-steel crankshaft and upgraded suspension.

SAN JOSE — A 27-year-old woman was arrested Monday morning for allegedly driving into a female acquaintance in a residential neighborhood, killing her.
Police say the collision happened at 2:33 a.m. in the 1200 block of Weibel Way, located near Leigh and Hamilton avenues. The driver, identified as 27 year old Campbell resident Monica Johnson, was booked into the Santa Clara County Jail for vehicular manslaughter and felony drunk driving. She allegedly backed an SUV into a 26-year-old woman, denting a garage door in the process.
The Santa Clara County Medical Examiner-Coroner's Office identified the victim as Los Angeles resident Cassandra Rose Buck.
It is San Jose's 34th traffic fatality of the year, and the 21st involving a pedestrian.
Police believe the driver and victim knew each other, and at one point in the evening both women were in the same sport-utility vehicle. There were beer cans near the scene of the crash.

Lindenwood University has announced a plan for its newest site -- Our Lady of Fatima in Florissant. The University has purchased the site from Johnny Londoff Chevrolet with the intent of turning it into a major satellite facility serving all of North St. Louis County.
"The success we have had in the City of Florissant over the last year has proven to us that Lindenwood University needs to have a major presence in North County," said Lindenwood President Dennis Spellmann. "This is the perfect location and will serve as a great base of operations for our north county focus."
"We see a multitude of opportunities at this location," said John Guffey, dean of admissions. "We plan to offer coursework leading to undergraduate degree completion, graduate education classes, professional and school counseling, and graduate management classes."
Florissant Mayor Robert Lowery brokered the deal in which Lindenwood purchased the church property, consisting of a rectory, a school, a church and a convent on about 15 acres at 4450 Washington Street. The Londoff dealership will use part of the site to park vehicles.
For more information about enrollment at Lindenwood, please contact the office of Adult, Corporate and Graduate Admissions at 636.949.4933 or email email@example.com.

Potato Mash with Wild Garlic
The wild garlic - also known as bear's garlic - is in season here in Estonia. The season is short, so I'm trying to eat as much as possible of this delicious and health-boosting spring green. Here's a simple way to incorporate wild garlic into your regular mash. Looks bright and pretty, doesn't it?
More wild garlic recipes @ Nami-Nami:
Wild garlic butter
Wild garlic pesto
Tomatoes stuffed with wild garlic
Potato Mash with Wild Garlic
(Kartulipuder karulauguga)
Serves 6
1 kg floury potatoes
200 ml (just under a cup) of milk, heated
50 g (2 Tbsp) butter
100 g fresh wild garlic, rinsed and finely chopped
1 tsp salt
0.25 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Peel the potatoes and cut into large chunks. Cover with fresh water, season with salt and bring to a boil. Boil for 15-20 minutes, until soft, then drain.
Return the saucepan to the hob and mash using whatever way you usually do it (I love to use my 'Spudnik' for that, which results in a rather coarse mash). Pour over the hot milk, add the butter and finely chopped wild garlic, and continue mashing and stirring, until you've got a bright green and fluffy potato mash.
Season with salt and pepper, stir thoroughly and serve.

I have been put off mash with garlic in it by having it in a restaurant about 3 years ago and it was so over powering and revolting. I said I would never eat garlic mash again but I might give this a go with the wild garlic though as it sounds delicious

Did I miss the season? I'd love to try this. Thing is, Stefano does almost all of the grocery shopping, so I never know what's in season. I really must check your blog every day!
By the way, any idea where I can buy raw milk in Tallinn? Does NOP have it?

Rachel - you've almost missed the season, BUT I saw bunches of wild garlic at Keskturg yesterday (5.- a bunch), so if you hurry, you may still be lucky.
Re: raw milk - try NOP or MAA organic shop at Kaubamaja (the "old" building, first floor).

Nice article. u know these days i am in love with garlic, both for the taste and for its health benefits. Garlic is considered one of the oldest medicines in the world and is used in making remedies for various ailments and physiological disorders. Garlic is one of the most effective antimicrobial herbs, as it has anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, anthelmintic and antiseptic properties.Consuming large amounts of garlic can cause heartburn, especially during pregnancy. If left in contact with skin of mucous membranes, fresh garlic can also cause local irritation and ulceration.

The soon-to-be two-person NCUA Board plans to name a successor to retiring Executive Director David Marquis in November, Chairman Debbie Matz told Credit Union Times late Tuesday.
The new executive director will probably be promoted from within the agency, she said. The NCUA Board can, but is not required to place an advertisement to recruit outside candidates, she added.
"I suspect we will make a decision from the candidates we have internally," Matz said, adding that the board already has some candidates in mind. However, Matz would not reveal who is included in the group.
All NCUA executives participate in succession planning, and receive training as part of the selection process, Matz said.
"Even though we have not made a decision as to who will succeed Dave, we have confidence we will select someone who will do a good job," Matz said.
The NCUA announced Marquis' retirement on Monday. He has put in 34 years with the regulator, rising up from the ranks after joining the agency as an examiner in Baltimore in 1978.
Matz said Marquis will be difficult to replace not only because of his experience and tenure, but because "he's a wonderful person to work with."
The executive director, who replaced the retired Leonard Skiles in 2009 after serving as Director of the Office of Examination and Insurance, has earned a well-deserved retirement, Matz said, but there is also opportunity ahead in bringing in a "fresh set of eyes" with new experiences and ideas.
"Ultimately, change is usually good," she said.

Anyone Have Any Spare Receivers?
Good morning Cowboy fans,
The Cowboys got out of Texas Stadium with another pre-season win (and thank goodness the last one) or should I say they limped out? That's right if you happen to be to busy to attend the game or watch on television because you knew it would be a "roster cut" game then you missed Sam Hurd go out with a sprained ankle. Hurd was expected to be the third receiver when Terry Glenn was cut 30 minutes after camp started. Is this an omen? Does Terry Glenn have some kind of spell over the Dallas receivers? Well this writer has never been superstitious, but I have been known to change my Cowboys jerseys 2 or 3 times during a game if things are not going well! Hurd was the third casualty at the receiver position in the pre-season after losing Miles Austin and Isaiah Stanback in earlier pre-season games. None of the injuries are season ending ones but all will require a few weeks to get back and none of the three will be ready for the Cleveland opener.
Seriously we are just experiencing a series of bad luck in the receiver core and it will get better. We were fortunate the last couple of years that we were virtually injury free. I guess it is just our turn, or maybe it is the Terry Glenn hoax. Either way we are left with actually two experienced receivers in Terrell "T.O." Owens and Patrick Crayton. I guess they will have to be our "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" when the Cowboys ride into the "Dog Pound" this Sunday. The most interesting thing about the receiver injury situation though is that "cut down" day to the magic 53 is Saturday. Who would have ever thought Danny Amendola or Mike Jefferson would now look so valuable to the Cowboys roster?
Now the rumors still continue to fly that the Cowboys are talking to Atlanta about veteran Joe Horn and Anquan Boldin still wants out of Arizona. The only problem with those two prospects is that Horn is almost as old as "Crazy Ray" and earlier in the year when Jerry Jones talked to Arizona about Boldin, the price was way to steep. Well Jerry if you still have any ideas about acquiring Boldin now, after the rash of injuries we have had, I would only venture to guess the price just went up!
I will close with good news that most of you already know. Adam "Pacman" Jones is now officially a Cowboy after receiving word from the Commissioner's office he has been reinstated. Now "Pacman" spend your evenings with quality friends and prove to me what I have been preaching to the nay-sayers and the haters ever since I got word you would be wearing the sacred star. You truly are a superstar on and off the field. Good luck Adam, I am rooting for you as all true Cowboy fans are.

But there are more than 18 million reasons to consider adoption. That's a conservative estimate of how many children, worldwide, need a home to grow up in and parents to love them.
This November, as America celebrates National Adoption Awareness Month, Our Sunday Visitor spoke with five families about their adoption journeys: why they adopted, how they overcame their fears and what the process taught them.
Here's what we learned.
At the beginning of every adoption journey, most couples have seemingly endless questions about the "who," "what" and "how" of adoption. The only way to answer those questions, said Jenny Galiani, an adoptive mother of four, is "Research, research, research."
In 2004, Galiani founded a support group for adoptive parents through her Philadelphia-area parish, Mary, Mother of the Redeemer Catholic Church. She tells all the couples who come the same thing: "It's essential to talk to people and hear their stories. There is so much information and so many routes you can take. It's important to gather all the information you need until you're comfortable going forward."
That's doubly important, said Lisa Koslosky, when adopting older children or children from different cultural backgrounds.
Koslosky and her husband, Randy, brought two sisters, then ages 3 and 7, home to Pittsburgh from Poland in 2005.
"The best advice I got beforehand, was 'Know what you're getting yourself into,'" Lisa Koslosky told Our Sunday Visitor. "Adoption brings so many joys, but like with all families there are challenges as well. The more prepared you are for those challenges, the easier it is to deal with them when they come."
It also helps, she added, to continue meeting with other adoptive moms and dads.
"At times, you feel like you're facing unique challenges all by yourself. Talking with other parents in similar situations reminds you that you're not alone."
Although adoption can be expensive, it doesn't have to be. A lot depends on the agency.
"We were lucky to work with a wonderful organization in our area that helps connect expectant moms with health-care services and potential adoptive families," said Natalie Thomasmeyer of her family's experience adopting two newborn children in Memphis, Tenn. "They're a nonprofit so they set the cost based on the family's income. It couldn't be more than 10 percent of what you earn in a year."
With the help of the federal adoption tax credit — currently $13,190 for families making under $197,880 — adoption can end up costing substantially less than some fertility treatments or even childbirth. There's also foster care, which allows families to adopt for free.
Likewise, as Maria Malone, an adoptive mother of three who helps facilitate the support group at Mary, Mother of the Redeemer, noted, there are almost always people willing to help prospective parents out.
"Many banks now give adoption loans, which have low interest rates," she said. "Some large companies also have funds to help their employees adopt. And there are some grants out there, not to mention friends and family who can be so generous when they know the need."
In all her years of meeting with prospective adoptive parents, Galiani said the most common fears she encounters are fears about the birthparents: what they'll be like or what role they'll want to play in the child's life.
She tells couples she understands those fears because she had them herself. But she then tells them, "Once you meet the birthparents, all that changes. You realize they're giving you this incredible gift, and all you feel is gratitude."
"Their decision is selfless," added Malone. "They want more for their child than they can give. You love them for that, and you love them for the precious child they hand you. You need them, and they need you. That love conquers fear."
That truth, Thomasmeyer said, is something the culture also needs to recognize.
"When you adopt, people treat it like it's some badge of honor," she said. "But we didn't do anything great. We wanted a baby, and we got one. The nobility belongs to the woman who chose adoption. If more praise went to them, more might make that choice."
Adoption is not God's "Plan B" for couples. That's true when infertility is what opens a couple up to adopting.
"Looking back, there were so many signs from God confirming for us that it was his plan for us to adopt our girls," Koslosky told OSV. "It was how things were always meant to be."
It's also true when infertility isn't a struggle at all.
Before Bob Rice and his wife, Jenny, were married, they talked about adoption.
"We felt like it was an important thing for Christians to do," he said.
After they lost their first child through miscarriage, the couple talked about it more. But then five healthy pregnancies came in quick succession, putting adoption on the back burner.
In 2009, the Rice family decided it was time to pursue adoption. Bob and Jenny felt called to adopt a boy from Haiti, and a year later, Bob brought their son Joey home to Ohio.
In the years since, Rice said he's been asked more than once if all his children are adopted.
"They see six cute Irish kids and one beautiful little black boy and just can't get their heads around why we would adopt if we could have kids of our own," he said. "But as we see it, if we're going to be pro-life, we should open up our families as best as we can to others. It shouldn't just be left to those without kids. Adoption isn't a back-up plan."
When Rice stood waiting for the plane that would bring him his son, one fear kept running through his mind: What if he couldn't love him as much as he loved his other children?
"I felt guilty even thinking the question," he recalled. "But then he came off that plane, and my heart leapt. I knew he was my son. That was grace. Now when I look at him, I don't see him as 'adopted.' It's not a category in my mind. "
"The whole process has brought me closer to the heart of the Father and taught me so much about how he loves us, his adopted children," Rice continued. "What we think is biological is actually quite spiritual. We think we love a child because they look like us or came from the woman we love. But the reality is, it makes no difference whatsoever. We love a child because God lets us share in his heart for that child."
"It's a trap to think you couldn't love a child because they don't come from your body," Thomasmeyer said. "Never underestimate your capacity to love. God made us to love and however he gives you a child, he'll also give you the grace to love that child."

Renaissance Village

First there was Katrina. Then there was the Renaissance. Take an intimate look at FEMA's largest post-Katrina trailer park and meet the residents left forgotten.
SYNOPSIS (Short)
Renaissance Village is the untold story of the largest FEMA trailer park set up after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast. In the wake of the storms, with more than 120,000 families left homeless, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) built emergency group trailer sites throughout the Gulf Coast. Their largest site, Renaissance Village, lay in shadows of the rural city of Baker, Louisiana, 91 miles north of New Orleans. Eighteen months after the storms, with federal assistance set to expire, 1700 of the original 3000 evacuees still lived in Renaissance Village with nowhere to go. After one resident died and many others began to get sick, allegations of formaldehyde poisoning in the FEMA travel trailers spread through the park like wildfire and drew national attention. With mounting pressure from Congress and the media, FEMA began closing its parks, including Renaissance Village, though many of the residents had nowhere else to go. Poetic and un-romanticized, this film follows the personal struggle of five characters to reclaim their lives after nearly three years in the park. Produced by a small crew from Chicago, IL, Renaissance Village takes a gritty and uncompromising look at the delicate relationship between government and citizen in the wake of disaster. Acclaimed New Orleans native Wendell Pierce narrates the documentary with an original score from low country blues musicians throughout the Gulf Coast.
SYNOPSIS (Extended)
Exiled from their homes in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, three thousand gulf coast residents take refuge in a FEMA trailer park and must summon the courage to move on. In Renaissance Village, acclaimed New Orleans native Wendell Pierce narrates the frank, un-romanticized story of five displaced individuals whose struggle to find a home after a formaldehyde scare brings to light the delicate relationship between government and citizen in the wake of disaster.
Shortly after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast in August of 2005, FEMA established more than 200 group trailer sites throughout Louisiana and Mississippi to house storm victims with nowhere else to go. The largest site, known as Renaissance Village, was built in the rural city of Baker, Louisiana, just outside of Baton Rouge and 91 miles from New Orleans. Federal guidelines outlined in the Stafford Act mandate that these group sites must close after 18 months. Yet by the summer of 2007, with housing assistance set to expire, 1700 of the original 3000 people still lived in Renaissance Village. The large majority of these residents are African American and come from the poorest parts of New Orleans.
Early on, the film follows these residents as they go about the course of their daily lives. Some fix cars or sell candy out of their trailers to make ends meet. Others spend their time searching for employment or housing in the Baker area. Though each individual or family is responsible for him or herself, the residents all share an evident sense of frustration, as they wait for FEMA and Catholic Charities to come through with financial assistance and opportunities for more permanent sources of housing. Invoking a common legacy of racism and disenfranchisement, many of the residents express feeling wronged by the government, wronged by FEMA, and captive victims of a government deaf to their plight.
Yet unlike some films, which sanctify the state of victimhood in America, Renaissance Village strikes a decidedly different chord in refusing to cast judgment on governmental indifference. Instead, the film adopts a highly-personalized and intimate approach, letting the characters reveal themselves as individuals. When Paul, an auto-mechanic from New Orleans who lost everything in the storm, directs his grievances toward the camera, Why do we put this all on the government? and answers quickly, Because theres no one else to put it on, we are left feeling somewhat skeptical. Are the easy ideological lines drawn between villain and victim, powerless individual and tyrannical state, as clear-cut and superficial as they are often portrayed in discussions of race and class? Rather than providing easy answers, the film remains organically objective, avoiding moral intrusion, while letting the viewer come to their own conclusions.
Residents like Thelma, a woman charming in her indelible convictions and pride, insists that she is ready to leave and move on, yet time and again balks in the face of obstacles. To be fair, some of these obstacles are pragmatic: the very real challenges of navigating a governmental bureaucracy and locating low income housing in New Orleans, much of which has been demolished in the name of urban renewal. Yet even more interesting, from a cinematic perspective, are the psychological barriers associated with leaving a place, which has become like a home for many residents of Renaissance Village. Intimate scenes of Thelma and her friend Gwendolyn cooking soul food, while recalling a shared culinary history of smoked sausage, ham hocks, pig tails, chitlins, and hog maws, accentuate the compassionate bonds of friendship that make leaving a supportive community difficult.
And while exchanges such as these communicate genuine tenderness, they also evoke a chilling vision of Civil Rights era violence and racial condescension in the deep south. For residents like Gwendolyn, injustices of the past are indissolubly linked to present racial consciousness. Today we can talk white and black, she says in a moment of raw sincerity. Back then you had to say, yes sir, yes maam. Moments later, when Thelma recollects the lynching of her uncle, a traumatic subject she politely refrains from talking about before the camera, the films historical gravity becomes clear.
Many residents of Renaissance Village have grown up in a climate of deeply entrenched racism, where codified prejudices, barbaric injustice, and humiliating obligations of courtesy, present legitimate obstacles in the path to self-sufficiency. When considered together with long camera shots of the sixty-two acre cow pasture, where swaying grasses and solitary cows compose a strangely serene picture of the countryside, this uncomfortable truth casts doubt on many residents expressed desire to leave the village. When Thelma says, It [leaving] might sound simple to you but its not, she speaks of escape not only from Renaissance Village, but also from mental persecution in the broader historical sense of racial- and class-consciousness.
Ultimately, leaving Renaissance Village becomes as much a matter of necessity as a mater of choice. When allegations of formaldehyde poisoning in government-issued trailers sweep through the park, residents grow scared for their health. One woman, whose cervical cancer has been in remission, now has difficulty breathing and dies. FEMA becomes harder to reach and misses scheduled appointments at the village. It is in this period of uncertainty that Wilbert Ross, president of Renaissance Village, rises to an almost mythical role in the film and in the lives of other residents. Wilbert speaks with prophetic urgency and conviction, bearing the cross for a people in search of a home. We are a people forgotten simply because we are not loud enough to be heardblack or poor - either one means the same to your government; you cant help them and theyre not interested in helping you.
But what will become of Wilbert and the four other characters, Thelma, Paul, Herbert, and Tyrone, when FEMA closes the gates on Renaissance Village? Who is responsible for rebuilding the lives of disaster victims? How does history determine who shall prosper and who shall perish?
Renaissance Village was shot over the course of thirteen months beginning in May of 2007. The film is the result of many hours waiting, watching, and listening while on location in the park. Until the break of the formaldehyde story, life inside Renaissance Village was anything but eventful. In the 115-degree heat, it was hard for many residents and those of us on the film crew to muster the strength to go outside. Even now, looking back on those hot summer days, I still cannot comprehend how the residents of the park were able to survive in those tiny, tin, box-like trailers. Most people do not know that FEMAs recommendation to residents for ventilating their trailers of formaldehyde fumes was to open all of the doors and windows. Though this may sound like a plausible solution for venting poisonous air, it also means that people were unable to keep the cold air from the air conditioning inside their trailers. Walking around the park that summer, I noticed many closed doors. I guess the residents were willing to take their chances with formal dehyde poisoning rather than compete with the stifling heat and humidity.
Eighteen months after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast, producer Lou Karsen and I traveled to Louisiana to shoot a documentary on the state of the post-Katrina healthcare situation. We had heard that the coastal region was in dire straits before the storm and now, post-Katrina, it was in shambles.
Coming from the Midwest we had no idea what to expect. Our knowledge about the storm and its aftermath was based upon what we had seen on the news and read in the papers. But even the best news footage could not convey what we experienced upon our arrival: the stench of rotting sewage, the over-powering humidity, the absolute desperation that seemed to exist in everyone we met. We couldn't believe that after nearly a year and a half, parts of New Orleans had still not been cleared of debris and repaired so that people could return to their homes.
Our production schedule began in Baton Rouge, ninety-one miles north of New Orleans. Upon arrival we linked up with the Childrens Health Fund based out of New York. They had established and funded a mobile medical unit through Louisiana State University, fondly known by the locals as the Blue Bus. We traveled with the Blue Bus team of doctors and social workers, documenting their work in what felt like a war zone. It wasnt until we happened to visit Renaissance Village that I knew our story had to change for here lived 1700 storm victims crammed together in the largest FEMA trailer park established after the storm.
After scouting the grounds and speaking with some of the residents, most notably Wilbert Ross, president of Renaissance Village, we returned to Chicago to make preparations for an extended stay in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Two weeks later, we were hunkered down just fifteen-minutes outside of the trailer park, ready to spend the remainder of the summer in Renaissance Village. It would be the hottest summer of my life.
I wanted this film to be as objective as possible. The news media had already chosen its heroes and villains in this on-going saga. It was not my job, as I saw it, to perpetuate these characterizations. In fact FEMA was not all-bad and the residents of Renaissance Village were not all-good. The politics of disasters are rife with people trying to exploitthe situation on both sides of the coin. From the onset of the making of the film, I wanted the viewer to be an active participant and independent judge. I, to the best of my ability, would simply present the facts. The events that take place in Renaissance Village are tragic by any standards. In addition to the news of excessive levels of formaldehyde in the trailers and the revelation of the attempted federal cover-up, the characters in the film are flawed. They are all, in their own way, unable to take the initiative to leave the park, despite FEMAs assistance. Their lack of faith in the government, compounded by a history of neglect and mistrust, creates a paralyzing lethargy, which prevents these residents from taking control of their lives, thus rendering them powerless. It was truly a joy to make this film. The residents of Renaissance Village welcomed us with open arms and an unbridled enthusiasm to share their stories. They reminded us that Hurricane Katrina, FEMA trailer parks, and formaldehyde poisoning, are more than just catch-phrases on the ten oclock news. They are stories that involve the lives of ordinary people who are struggling to reclaim some semblance of a normal life.
Gabe Chasnoff (Director/producer/writer/editor) spent the entire summer and good portions of the fall and winter of 2007 and the Spring of 2008 in Baker, Louisiana filming Renaissance Village. He and his team were the only crew to ever spend such a vast amount of time with the residents of Renaissance Village. Chasnoff has written, produced, and directed numerous independent productions for the healthcare industry on subjects ranging from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to Public Service Announcements geared towards the prevention of substance abuse during pregnancy. For his next documentary project,Chasnoff is adapting the memoirs of a pediatric surgeon who served two tours in Iraq during the second Gulf War. Chasnoff is the Vice President of NTI Upstream, an educational multimedia production and publishing company. He is a graduate of the University of Southern California School of Cinema/Television. He currently lives in Chicago.
Lou Karsen (Producer/writer/editor) studied filmmaking at Boston University, where he graduated with a B.S. in Communications. During his time abroad in London, Karsen gained invaluable experience working under pioneer producer Norma Heyman on her film Mrs. Henderson Presents. On returning to Boston, Karsen joined Yellow Jersey Films, an independent producer of PBSs American Experience television series. In 2006 Karsen returned home to Chicago to work as a freelance camera operator and editor on several local productions including celebrity chef Rick Baylesss TV show Mexico: One Plate at a Time. Karsen joined NTI Upstream at the onset of Renaissance Village, which is his first feature length film.
Ira J. Chasnoff, Md (Executive Producer) is President of the Childrens Research Triangle and a Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Chicago. He is one of the nation's leading researchers in the field of maternal drug use during pregnancy and the effects such drug use has on the newborn infant and child. His research projects include a study of the long-term cognitive, behavioral and educational developmental effects of prenatal exposure to alcohol, cocaine, and other drugs; the effects on birth outcome of prenatal treatment and counseling for pregnant drug abusers; and the effectiveness of both outpatient and residential treatment programs for pregnant drug abusers.
Dr. Chasnoff and the team at CRT opened and operated a laboratory preschool classroom to develop specific interventions for children prenatally exposed to alcohol and other drugs. As part of this outreach program, the team developed a model Head Start Family Service Center for children and their families at risk from drugs and the drug seeking environment. In addition, Dr. Chasnoff and the CRT research team was one of five national medical organizations conducting research into the integration of behavioral health interventions into primary health care services for highrisk children and their families. The project studied the impact of concurrent planning on permanency placement for children in the foster care system. In 2002, Children's Research Triangle under Dr. Chasnoffs leadership was selected by the Centers for Disease Control as one of five national centers for research into innovative treatment for children with Fetal Alcohol syndrome. Dr. Chasnoffs current work focuses on community approaches to the integration of behavioral health services into primary health care for women and children. Dr. Chasnoff received his medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and served a pediatric residency at Children's Memorial Hospital, Chicago. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a member of the Society for Pediatric Research and the Society for Research in Child Development. He is the author of five books and numerous articles on the effects of drug use on pregnancy and on the long-term cognitive, behavioral, and learning outcomes of prenatally exposed children. Dr. Chasnoff's first book, Drug Use in Pregnancy: Mother and Child, was published in 1986 by MTP Press. His second book, Drugs, Alcohol, Pregnancy, and Parenting received the Book of the Year Award from the American Journal of Nursing. His fourth book, Understanding the Drug-Exposed Child: Approaches to Behavior and Learning, has been cited as an important addition to the literature on helping children at risk of educational failure. Dr. Chasnoffs most recent book, The Nature of Nurture: Biology, Environment, and the Drug-Exposed Child, explores the biological and environmental factors that impact the development of alcohol- and drug-exposed children, while presenting practical strategies for helping children reach their full potential at home and in the classroom.
The recipient of several awards for his work with high risk women, children, and families, Dr. Chasnoff for several years has been selected by a poll of physicians across the nation for listing in Americas Best Doctors based on his ability to translate complex medical and psychosocial issues into relevant policy that guides the delivery of quality services. Dr. Chasnoff has been active in establishing comprehensive family intervention programs for children in Australia, Denmark, Portugal, and the former Soviet Union and across the United States and has lectured on this topic around the world.
Jerry Lousteau (Associate Producer) has worked in radio broadcasting for 30 years as a radio personality, operations manager, and director of music and promotions for leading broadcast networks.

Selective citation
From Conservapedia
Selective citation is the practice by which holocaust deniers distort the work of historians by quoting them out of context in order to use their words in the opposite manner they were intended.
An excellent example of this can be found in the writings of Germar Rudolf, who wrote
The tendency in recent historiography seems to be more and more to abandon the gas chambers, for which the sources are "at once rare and unreliable", as Prof. Arno J. Mayer put it.
When what Arno J. Mayer actually wrote was
Sources for the study of the gas chambers are at once rare and unreliable.. .there is no denying the many contradictions, and ambiguities in the existing sources. These cannot be ignored, although it must be emphasized strongly that such defects are altogether insufficient to put in question the use of gas chambers in the mass murder of Jews at Auschwitz.
While the exact words that Mayer wrote were used by Rudolf, the meaning was completely reversed.[1]
Another example can be seen in the attempts by deniers to discredit the testimony of Abraham Bomba, a barber at Treblinka.[2]
The entire trend is recognized in Samuel Moyn's book A Holocaust Controversy.[3]
Occasionally the term quote mining has been used to refer to this practice.

Consumers will sell the least used gold in five years after prices tumbled into a bear market, curbing a source of metal that typically accounts for about one in every three ounces of global supply.
Refiners will handle about 1,550 metric tons of old jewelry and other discarded metal this year, 4% less than in 2012 and the least since 2008, Toronto-based TD Securities Inc. estimates. The amount is valued now at $71.4 billion, from $84.5 billion at this year's peak. Recycling more than doubled in the decade through 2011 as prices rose to a record. A majority of the 38 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg last month said gold's streak of 12 consecutive annual gains is over.
"April was the worst month in memory," said Arthur Abramov, the owner of Manhattan Buyers Inc., a cash-for-gold operator in New York that saw volumes drop to 300 ounces a month from 500 ounces. "A lot of people were shocked, and a lot of people were standoffish about selling."
Gold had its biggest drop in 33 years on April 15 as some investors lost faith in bullion as a store of value, hurting everyone from miners to investors including billionaire John Paulson. While declining supply in commodities usually signals higher costs, the impact in gold may be more muted because most of the 171,300 tons ever mined are still circulating. Societe Generale, Credit Suisse Group AG and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. are among those predicting the price slump has further to go.
Metal Purchased
Futures tumbled 15% to $1,426.60 an ounce this year on the Comex. Prices are now 26% below the record $1,923.70 reached in 2011. The Standard & Poor's GSCI gauge of 24 commodities fell 3.2% since the start of January and the MSCI All-Country World Index of equities rose 10%. A Bank of America Corp. index shows Treasuries lost 0.2%.
The 30-member Philadelphia Stock Exchange Gold and Silver Index, led by Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., fell 36% this year and more than $39 billion was wiped off the combined value of gold held through exchange-traded products, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The prospect of losses has made retailers who buy used gold and the middlemen who sell to refiners unwilling to part with metal purchased at higher costs. Volumes of recycled metal, known as scrap by the industry, dropped 2.6% last year as prices retreated from the record in 2011, according to data from the World Gold Council in London.
"Nobody is selling right now, and it's survival of the fittest," said Dan Nektal of 46th Street Buyers in New York, which has been in the jewelry business for three decades. "If you bought at $1,700, how can you sell at the moment? Everybody's presuming it's going to go back up."

Place Matters: Metropolitics for the Twenty-first Century
University Press of Kansas, 2004 - Political Science - 428 pages
How can the United States create the political will to address our major urban problems—poverty, unemployment, crime, traffic congestion, toxic pollution, education, energy consumption, and housing, among others? That's the basic question addressed by the new edition of this award-winning book. Thoroughly revised and updated for its third edition, Place Matters examines the major trends and problems shaping our cities and suburbs, explores a range of policy solutions to address them, and looks closely at the potential political coalitions needed to put the country's "urban crisis" back on the public agenda.
The problem of rising inequality is at the center of Place Matters. During the past several decades, the standard of living for the American middle class has stagnated, the number of poor people has reached its highest level since the 1960s, and the super-rich have dramatically increased their share of the nation's wealth and income. At the same time, Americans have grown further apart in terms of where they live, work, and play. This trend—economic segregation—no longer simply reflects the racial segregation between white suburbs and minority cities. In cities and suburbs alike, poor, middle class, and wealthy Americans now live in separate geographic spaces.
The authors have updated the case studies and examples used to illustrate the book's key themes, incorporated the latest Census data, and drawn on exit polls and other data to examine the voting patterns and outcomes of the 2012 elections. They have expanded their discussion of how American cities are influenced by and influence global economic and social forces and how American cities compare with their counterparts in other parts of the world. And they draw upon the latest research and case studies not only to examine the negative impacts of income inequality and economic segregation but also assess the efforts that civic and community groups, unions, business, and government are making to tackle them.
Fully up to date and far richer and more provocative, this new version surpasses its previous editions and will continue to be an essential volume for all who study urban politics and care about our cities.
