Vickie and I don't exactly work a normal Mon-Fri week, but we have a kid in school, which means we feel the same way about Mondays as pretty much everybody else does. So we figured we'd lighten Mondays up a bit with our new series starting today, called Peter & Vickie's Laws of Life. LOL for short 🙂 Why, you ask, does Peter get top Billing for this series when Vickie has it for the posts? Well I'm writing the first one in the series, so I get to name it.
Last week I mentioned one of my heroes, Richard Feynman, in this post about Will Hunt's Cape Ann Rocks for the Rockaways benefit, which raised over $300 for victims of Superstorm Sandy.
Feynman was one of the world's greatest theoretical physicists, so I thought we'd start the series off with an LOL loosely based on a law of nature, namely Antoine Lavoisier's Law of Conservation of Mass, which, simply put, states that mass in never created or destroyed; it just gets rearranged or converted into energy. So here's the LOL corollary:
You're more likely to gain weight if someone you know is losing weight. According to Lavoisier, all that weight people lose HAS to go SOMEWHERE, right? So if your wife complains that you're getting fat this holiday season, ask your her to STOP LOSING WEIGHT. It only makes it harder for you.
Next Monday, we'll have another LOL. Until then enjoy a week of good food, good music and good friends — and encourage everybody to eat as much as they like.

Following are quotables from "Real Time with Bill Maher" for Friday, June 19th, 2009. "Real Time with Bill Maher" airs Fridays at 10:00PM ET (10:00PM PT, tape delayed) on HBO, with additional replays throughout the week on HBO and HBO 2.
It's sad about Iran. What do you expect about a country? It's a government propped up by oil money that's led by a religious wacko. Kind of like Alaska.
- Bill Maher in his opening monologue
This could be the first revolution brought to you by Twitter because that's how people are communicating to go to the rallies and so forth and show the pictures of what's going on. Authorities of course in Iran shut down cell phone networks. They shut down the Internet. Calls are absolutely not getting through or they are dropped immediately. Or, as T-Mobile calls it, "normal service."
- Bill Maher in his opening monologue
I love this guy. He is a piece of work. John Ensign was a Promise Keeper; he was a big proponent of the Defense of Marriage Act, and a loud voice calling for Clinton to resign during the Lewinsky scandal. He has hit the Hypocrisy Trifecta.
- Bill Maher in his opening monologue
This is the week that the gay people in America finally really had it up to here with Barack Obama. Because, you know, he won't come out for gay marriage. He threw them a bone with federal benefits. They didn't like that. They said, "We are not satisfied and we are feeling neglected." And he said, "Well that's like being married."
- Bill Maher in his opening monologue
There's a tendency here in America, when it comes to foreign policy, to say these are the good guys and these are the bad guys. A couple of weeks ago nobody had heard of Mir-Hossein Mousavi. Now suddenly, he's the good guy. Well, I have questions about that, whether he's a real reformer, and there's sort of oversimplification that happens here.
- Katty Kay
It does seem like we're choosing between like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson. They're not even the real leader of this country, right. It's like they're having a revolution about the Governor of Nebraska.
- Joel Stein regarding Iran
You're either this pious, holier than thou person or you're a skank and all these things. And I came out with my article when I wrote an article and I said that I wasn't a virgin on national television, and I got all these emails and it was like, Meghan McCain, perverted sex addict. And it's like you're either a holy virgin or you have to stay at the point of saying "I'm abstinent. But I meant to be abstinent," or you're a perverted sex addict. And I think it's this really crazy thing in politics, and especially Republican politics. And I think it's unhealthy, especially for young women.
- Meghan McCain
I'm going to be consistent. It's none of my business who Senator Ensign sleeps with. I'm much more interested in who the oil companies are screwing than who John Ensign is screwing.
- Paul Begala
I'm a Catholic. We're taught that sex is a dirty, vile, disgusting, act that you save for the one you truly love.
- Paul Begala
If these were two blonde women, of course there'd be much more of a fuss made about it in the press here.
- Katty Kay regarding Laura Ling and Euna Lee
New Rule: Let's not all act shocked that the new Miss California is also against gay marriage. Of course they're conservative. They're beauty pageant contestants. If they were liberals they'd be in college.
- Bill Maher in his "New Rules" segment
New Rule: Twitter didn't save Iran. Iran saved Twitter. I'm happy that information is getting out there, but admit it, Twitter users, if anyone had asked you two weeks ago what "Iran" was, you would've said it was the new treadmill from Apple.
- Bill Maher in his "New Rules" segment
New Rule: Now that the Olive Garden has pulled its ads from Letterman's show because they say his Palin joke was "not consistent with our standards and values" someone has to figure out a way for me to boycott a restaurant I would never eat at in the first place.
- Bill Maher in his "New Rules" segment
This week's guests were Katty Kay, Paul Begala, Joel Stein, Meghan McCain and Hooman Majd.

Wonderful fucking place!
Last time I went there, it was one of the rare occasions I picked up the check, and several of my dining companions later complained of explosive diarrhea after managing, with great effort to make it home before shitting their pants...
Oh, but when I called and spoke with the manager of this particular Olive oil blowing out your ass Garden, he made it sound like this was MY problem.
OK, so if the Mafia owns this piece of shit...
...no wait a minute, *I* know the Mafia, and there's no way they would be associated with such a piece of shit in your pants, what's your fucking problem, shove an endless god damned bread stick up your motherfucking ass!
NO! The Mafia would have offered me a salad or something.
Fuck the Olive Garden up the ass! They're as bad as Black Angus passing off shitty ass beef as fillet Mignon, then when you complain they get all sympathetic, and you say, "Yeah, that's the same shit you gave me the last time you motherfucker" Then they give you a fucking card good for $20 that you give to a not so good friend, who likes shit horse meat.

Bill, I wish I could watch your show. I fell in love with you watching Religulous. We need more people standing up and pointing out the insanity of religion. These people are scary, I know because I once was one of them. I know how they think.
I just came across an insane video on youtube of a guy claiming Obama is the Anti-Christ and that he met the requirements of the Anti-Christ. His claims were bogus, I use to study the prophecies and not one of his claims were legit. However, it was amazing as he had a following of people that would rather listen to him than study scripture for themselves. These people are dangerous!
I am currently writing a novel about a fundamentalist woman who discovers her religion is the worlds biggest hoax. It is similar to my own story with all the research that led me out of the cult. I am doing this because of California's ban on gay marriage that was brought on by religious fundamentalist. I am not gay myself but I believe equal rights should be shared by everyone and not just the Christian majority.
Our laws should not be based upon the morals of the Bible. If they were you could offer your daughter up to be raped by homosexuals, sacrifice your child to god and consider all women who braid their hair and wear gold to be prostitutes. Yep, if you read the book it's in there!

The one that pisses me off is the insurance commercial recommending people maintain a "2 second travelling distance".
While this is reasonable it turns out most people can't count to 2 and also accurately gage time without a chronometer. The result is a bunch of clueless assholes maintaining 12 second distances in 20mph gridlock.
As more instructions are obviously required than can be fit into a 30s commercial slot, this one has to go: these people are causing accidents.
Perhaps former member of the bar Silman can raise funds for his legal dfens by suing a class action against these insurance maggots on behalf of motorists in the USA.

The California Whistleblower Hotline -1 (800) 952-5665 - gives you the opportunity to report the improper activities of state agencies or employees.
The Bureau of State Audits (BSA), operator of the Hotline, investigates:
• Illegal acts like theft, fraud, or conflicts of interest by state employees
• Misuse or abuse of state property or time by state employees
• Gross misconduct, incompetence, or inefficiency by state employees
Remember! The BSA can only follow up on state government improprieties. They do not investigate misconduct by federal or local governments or by private businesses or organizations.
You have three ways to share information with the BSA:
• Call the Whistleblower Hotline at 1 (800) 952-5665
• Mail it to
Bureau of State Audits
555 Capitol Mall, Suite 300
Sacramento, CA 95814
• Submit it online at https://www.bsa.ca.gov/contactus/complaint.php
The BSA cannot accept complaints via e-mail.
The BSA reviews all tips and investigates whenever possible. Although they have no enforcement power, they keep the ball rolling by reporting investigations that substantiate improprieties to:
• The head of the agency involved
• The attorney general or other enforcement agencies, legislative committees, and any other authority with jurisdiction
• The general public, keeping your identity confidential
The California Whistleblower Protection Act goes to bat for you.
• It requires the BSA to protect your identity (except from law enforcement).
• It helps guard against intimidation, threats, or coercion by state employees that could interfere with your right to disclose improper government activities.
• It shields you from reprisal, retaliation, threats, or coercion for reporting such information.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE RETALIATION (and aren't kilt), SPEAK UP!

He pricked his fingers very much which made poor Simon whistle.
He prayed for someone else to save him but it all fell through;
And now poor Cephas Simon bids you all "Adieu".

I must say I never watch you because you are old and I thought you were like that other old moron Bill something but then I watched Religulous and I have to say I fell in love with you!
I have never read the bible and I have about 15 diffrent copies of it but I cannot get past the first page with out laughing.
I thank you for Religulous as it has shown me I am not the only one wondering why the preachers are rich as their followers are poor, and most of all thank you for asking the questions I always wanted to ask but was always treated as a freak for doing so.
I am in Detroit when you are there but for some reason I cannot buy tickets to your show because the music hall site will not let me so I guess that is a sign from god that I will have to sneak in and watch it for free.
Or maybe you can come to Arizona and I can watch you here :)

The martyr Sarah Palin? No way! Maybe she's just abandoning her post in favor of more lucrative offers from tinsel town or Larry Flynt. Or maybe she knows how xpresident Hilly broke her arm - if thats all they broke - and the terrorist elements of her party have convinced her to just go away... or maybe, just maybe, she is sincerely trying to repair the irreparable damage her political career did to her family.
Most likely, she's squirreled away enough tax loot to clear out of the igloo and move on up, To the east side. To a deluxe apartment in the sky.

What A Beautiful Fairy
A beautiful fairy appeared one day to a destitute refugee outside a Maryland immigration office.
'Good man,' the fairy said, 'I've been sent here by President Obama and told to grant you three wishes, since you just arrived in the United States with your wife and three children.'
The man told the fairy. 'Well, where I come from we don't have good teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.'
The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and -- PING ! -- he had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth!
'What else?' asked the fairy, 'two more to go.'
The refugee claimant now got bolder. 'I need a big house with a three car garage in Annapolis on the water with eight bedrooms for my family and the rest of my relatives who still live in my country. I want to bring them all over here and PING ! in the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three car garage, a long driveway, a walkout patio with a BBQ in an upscale neighborhood overlooking the bay.
'One more wish', said the fairy, waving her wand.
'Yes, one more wish. I want to be like an American with American clothes instead of these torn clothes, and a baseball cap instead of this turban. And I want to have white skin like Americans . ... ... and -- PING ! -- The man was transformed, wearing worn out jeans, a Baltimore Orioles T-shirt and a baseball cap. He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had disappeared from the horizon.
'What happened to my new teeth?' he wailed. 'Where is my new house?'
The fairy said 'Tough Shit, Mac, Now that you are a White American, you have to fend for yourself.'
And she disappeared.

I have no dispute about gay marriages.. in canada the first signs of acceptance was benefits, and incometax consideration.. same with common law.. I'm not big on marriage any way if you read the tax law right.. you can have your cake and eat it too..

In light of 'Senator' Ensign's recent missapropriations - to pay his whore, her pimp and their love child - I really hope there are mandatory minimums for federal felonies of this nature.
Like the ones for pot.
So, why isn't 'Congresswoman' Jane Harman in prison for her crimes against Americans? Read this. Why isn't AG Gonzales in prison with her for blackmailing an elected official? Why aren't W and *wad Cheney in prison with them for blackmailing an elected official? W, Cheney and Gonzales are also guilty of RICO for this.
What is supposed to make America special is that we the people are supposed to be able to make our own laws and run our own government. Since the JFK coup this hasn't been happening. rest assured the schools aren't teaching it either. There is just one problem. If you look you'll see that laws are being made, discarded and ammended all the time. We are supposed to be the ones doing this, not some overpaid fools on the pay of multinational corporations.

God hates he world and all it's children...
it all depends on how you look at it... when we are spiritually inspired by nature it always comes out like a fairy tale.. subconscious to sub conscious and the human mind record it as dreams, fairy tales, music and movies have streams of it. That is why it is not clearly understood. So God is meant to be a prophecy.. the word was guide and trough the cycle of nature it came out in the fairy tale of Mother Nature..it ends there.. a long story short. if you take the words and add it to the right fairy tale.. The only sin in mother nature is religion.. So i heard the song and now I laugh..
In mother nature ... a record of a natural movement, an evolution,
it is easier to remember fairy tales.

$338.3 Billions A year for Welfare & Social Services, which you can thank Al Gore for approving.
-$230.0 Billions for 5 years to deport Illegal Immigrants
$108.3 Billions saved to do the mass deportation, and the faster our Government does it, the more we save.
They justify the immigration policies, they claim to prop up Social Security. Fuck SS, it faild. Pay out to all those who paid in what is due to them – there's your stimulus –shut it down, then rewrite the immigration code accordingly. Then chop off the federal appropriations of income and make the fuckers balance their budget out of necessity – just like the rest of us.

Thank you for pointing out we don't have a liberal party in this country. It is a sad day indeed when a Democrat from Indiana who opposes gun control and supports the death penalty is considered liberal simply because he supports the first ammendmant, a woman's right to control her body, thinks Corporate America is way overpowered, thinks the rick should pay more taxes and people should have a safety net for health care.
Funny thing, I like Kucinich (the only Anti-NAFTA dem left) but spaceships...he knows better...lol. He's certainly got a pair though. I'll give him that. It's time for us to have fun now beacause I think we both know the lunatics will be back in charge of the insane asylum soon enough. Well too soon for me. Anyway, best of luck and take care.

Social security - slush fund for the military, absolutely worthless. the payout isn't a living wage.
Minimum wage - despite the noble intent the actual result is inflation, the loss of blue collar jobs and private apprenticeship training programs and combined with social security the 'atomic family' - as old people chose not to invest in their children because the state would support them in their old age and relegated responsibility to raise them to the busted ass skool system, a haven for freeloaders and child molesters.
Free trade agreements with dictatorships - can't compete with slaves, nor should we trade with their masters.
CIA - shutdown this obsolete appendage of imperialist European monarchies. In fact you can tell how free a nation 's people are by whether they have an unregulated police arm. 'Communists' aren't communists, 'Democracies' aren't democracies, 'Republics' aren't republics if they have one, they are all fascist police states.
Forbid MNCs, religious groups, foriegn owned companies and foriegn governments from lobbying American politicians.
Export liberty and self sufficiency through capitalism, not imperialism!
No more government sponsored discrimination through affirmative action. Provide the same benefits for all poor citizens.
Check the self agrandizing government clerks and reign in their unchecked spending. Civilian oversight of all government - especially the military and domestic police agencies - is of paramount concern.
Noone is above the law: convict political criminals and make sure the punishment reflects the damage they do to everyone, to our faith in government and that it deters those who would consider these crimes. Let there be no ambiguity regarding the consequences: no more cutting deals, prosecute everyone involved to the letter of the law.
Prosecute bribing lobbyist fucks too. Buy or blackmail a politician, death by hanging, televised executions on CSPAN.

In 1997 NORAD said they insure, "Aircraft flying over our air space are monitored seven days a week, 24 hours a day."
In 2004 the Air Force contradictorily said, "Before 2001, 1st Air Force was charged with keeping an eye on the nation's borders, usually looking for threats in the form of Russian aircraft skirting too close for comfort to the mainland. In those few hours, the command's mission went from looking outward to looking inward."

If you like your skin sheen-free (and who doesn't?), the idea of face oil may be a bit off-putting. But this quick-absorbing, 100% botanical blend won't leave behind any residue. A host of super ingredients nourish, hydrate, and repair—kind of like a wheat grass shot for your face.
I'm that guy that hates the feeling of oily, wet, or grimmy skin esp. on my face. It leaves my face feeling soft but not oily while also leaving a great scent that doesn't overpower my cologne or make me smell like 900 scents. It's only noticable if someone gets kissably close. I'd def. recomend.5
I was very skeptical about using a face oil due to my naturally oily face but was pleasantly surprised to find this absorbed quickly and left my skin baby soft without any oily residue!! Best for nighttime - a bit greasy for daytime personally but I loved and will buy the full size!4
I got this in my box twice already and have been hesitant to use it. It has not scent and like most reviews have already noted looks like olive oil.
Upon using it twice at night in both hands and face I can notice the difference. it absorbs fast and leaves a long lasting feeling. the fact that is has no distinctive odor makes it practical.
Like most of the reviews, I was a bit hesitant to use this product on my face. I tried it a few times and I have to say, I am unimpressed. The oil did not leave my face oily or greasy which is great. Unfortunately though it didn't leave my skin supple or smooth either. It was meh. I will not buy.1
The product description is pretty much right. I was aprehensive to put oil on my face. Feels like defeats the purpose of using face scrub. But the right amount just left my face feeling moist and still clean, not like how I might feel right before I get a shower. I like it. Not certain I'll buy a full size, but hey, the point is to expand right?4

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
This first teaser for the short movie called 2088 is pretty brief — but you may find yourself rewatching the scene of mechanistic rampage a few times, because it looks that cool. This film is directed by Steven Ilous from the VFX house SMI Entertainment, and you can kind of tell it's the work of a VFX professional. The future cityscape looks really nice, and the robot gone berzerk is sweet as well. Witness a typical day on the beat, for the LAPD's Non Human Division. [via First Showing]

This one brought back some happy memories. My first real best friend as an adolescent was named Allison. I was the oldest in my family with lots of really young siblings. Allison only had one older brother, so we were each kind of enamored with each other's lives. (Although I was probably much more enamored with hers.) The other great thing was she and her mom were real quilters. Which I loved because I was still kind of afraid of that crafty "stigma" at the tender age of 14, and they were people who 'got it.' And did it amazingly. (Like hand-pieced, hand quilted works of art.)
So one Christmas, almost 20 years ago, Allison gave me this. And I always forget about it until I pull it out each year. And I love it just as much each time I do. So I post it here as a suggestion of something cute YOU crafty people (who also 'get it') could do.
Don't you think it stands the test of time really well?
And here is something new. I actually started this one last year and vow to finish it this year.
It comes from a pattern I'd been eyeing for sometime. So, when I still liked it a few years in a row, I finally bought it. I love every thing in it! I love that table runner, although I probably won't use it as a table runner as it would just end up with mashed potatoes and peanut butter on it at our house. And the stuffed santas? Cute. (Sorry about the bad picture. You can see it better here.)I love the red plaid wool. And his wee little boots.
(Said in Shrek's Scottish accent.)In other, probably more exciting news, two blogs that I have begun to frequent are both celebrating their one year blogiversary with giveaways!
The first is Freda's Hive. With seven different prizes!! (I covet so much on her blog already. It's all got to be really great stuff!!!)
Remember when I met Nanette? As soon as Christmas is over I am making her bag! I've got the supplies and fabric all ready. I can't wait!
The second blogiversary is at V and Co.
This is another talented girl! She is a full-time mom in small-town Utah who has a great flair for design and a talent for making amazing cute stuff. All at the same time her husband is deployed. Go be inspired

Alumna combines two loves in her dream job at bike company
Amanda Nauman loves to push herself. While at the School of Systems & Enterprises(SSE) at Stevens, earning her undergraduate degree in engineering management and systems engineering, she was an honor student, All-American swimmer and champion triathlete before graduating in 2011. She completed her master's in systems engineering a year later while simultaneously helping coach the Hoboken Masters swim team, working as a teaching assistant for the Engineering Management Department, managing a systems engineering Senior Design project, and serving as president of the Stevens student chapter of the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE).
So it should come as no surprise that Nauman continues to push herself, both mentally and physically, in her self-described "dream job'' as project manager in the engineering department at Felt Racing, which designs, develops and delivers premium bicycles that are used in the Olympics and in triathlons worldwide. She not only works for the premier bike company, but also loves to represent Felt while competing in several triathlons, which combine cycling, swimming and running, throughout the year.
This engineer is especially happy that she gets to work at a job that helps people just like her, ultimate athletes. "I love what I do,'' she says. "I care about it and it really is my passion." Nauman's job at Felt Racing allows her to be creative, but also taps heavily into her engineering side. She relishes the idea of seeing the projects she manages evolve during the project life cycle and gets a kick when she sees the bike eventually end up in the marketplace and out on the street.
This dream job came about because Nauman took a chance. She grew up in Mission Viejo, California, and knew of the Felt Racing Company, which is based 15 minutes from her home, because her father had always been a fan of Felt bikes and made sure the bikes in his garage were from the local SoCal bike company. She became more familiar with the company's competition bikes because of the triathlons and cycling races she competed in while racing for Stevens' club teams. In the summer of 2011, she saw the company had an opening for a position that she easily admits she was not qualified for. "I knew I had no chance of getting that job,'' she says, "but I wanted to work so badly for Felt that I took a chance'' and sent in her resume. Her resume ended up with the Director of Engineering and he was so impressed with her education and her interest and knowledge of the industry, they created an internship position for her. Everything after that sort of fell into place, she says.
She says she knew her engineering management education was a true plus for Felt's engineering department, teaching them how to manage their work more efficiently, meet all deadlines and work within a budget. "(Felt and I) are a perfect fit. I know how to work within a budget and be on time because of my Stevens education.''
Felt was so impressed with Nauman that, after she returned to Castle Point to pursue her master's degree, the company kept her on in a part-time capacity for 10 hours a week, allowing her to work 3,000 miles away while earning her degree in Hoboken. After graduation in May 2012, she returned full-time to the company.
So where does this engineer/triathlete see herself in five years? "I would like to be at Felt, helping them grow. I hope to be better and stronger in all my races. And I hope to be better at balancing my work and training because right now that's a huge challenge for me.''
Given her history, there's little doubt she'll do anything but exceed this challenge.

of the said Geoffrey Chaucer, first author and maker of this book. And also that all we that shall see and read therein may so take and understand the good and virtuous tales, that it may so profit unto the health of our souls that after this short and transitory life we may come to everlasting life in Heaven. Amen.
PROLOGUE AFTER that I had accomplished and finished divers histories, as well of contemplation as of other historical and worldly acts of great conquerors and princes, and also certain books of ensamples and doctrine, many noble and divers gentlemen of this realm of England came and demanded me many and oft times wherefore that I have not done made and printed the noble history of the Saint Graal, and of the most renowned Christian King, first and chief of the three best Christian and worthy, Arthur, which ought most to be remembered among us Englishmen before all other Christian Kings. For it is notoyrly known through the universal world that there be nine worthy and the best that ever were; that is to wit three Paynims, three Jews, and three Christian men. As for the Paynims, they were to-fore the Incarnation of Christ, which were named—the first, Hector of Troy, of whom the history is come both in ballad and in prose—the second, Alexander the Great; and the third, Julius Caesar, Emperor of Rome, of whom the histories be well known and had. And as for the three Jews, which also were before the Incarnation of our Lord of whom the first was Duke Joshua, which brought the children of Israel into the land of behest; the second, David, King of Jerusalem; and the third Judas Maccabæus; of these three the Bible rehearseth all their noble histories and acts. And since the said Incarnation have been three noble Christian men, installed and admitted through the universal world into the number of the nine best and worthy, of whom was first the noble Arthur, whose
noble acts I purpose to write in this present book here following. The second was Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, of whom the history is had in many places both in French and English; and the third and last was Godfrey of Boulogne, of whose acts and life I made a book unto the excellent prince and king of noble memory, King Edward the Fourth. The said noble gentlemen instantly required me to print the history of the said noble king and conqueror, King Arthur, and of his knights, with the history of the Saint Graal, and of the death and ending of the said Arthur, affirming that I ought rather to print his acts and noble feats than of Godfrey of Boulogne or any of the other eight, considering that he was a man born within this realm, and king and emperor of the same; and that there be in French divers and many noble volumes of his acts, and also of his knights. To whom I answered that divers men hold opinion that there was no such Arthur, and that all such books as be made of him be but feigned and fables, because that some chronicles make of him no mention, ne remember him nothing ne of his knights; whereto they answered, and one in special said, that in him that should say or think that there was never such a king called Arthur, might well be aretted great folly and blindness; for he said that there were many evidences of the contrary. First ye may see his sepulchre in the monastery of Glastonbury; and also in 'Polychronicon,' in the fifth book, the sixth chapter, and in the seventh book, the twenty-third chapter, where his body was buried, and after found and translated into the said monastery. Ye shall see also in the history of Boccaccio, in his book 'De casu principum, part of his noble acts and also of his fall. Also Galfridus in his British book recounteth his life, and in divers places of England many remembrances be yet of him, and shall remain perpetually, and also of his knights. First in the Abbey of Westminster at Saint Edward's shrine remaineth the print of his seal in red wax closed in beryl, in which is written • Patricius Arthurus, Britanniae Galliae Germaniae Daciae Imperator.' Item, in the castle of Dover ye may see Gawain's skull and Caradoc's mantle; at Winchester the round table; in other places Lancelot's sword, and many other things. Then all these things considered, there can no man reasonably gainsay but here was a king of this land named Arthur; for in all places, Christian and heathen, he is reputed and taken for one of the nine worthy, and the first of the three Christian men. And also he is more spoken of beyond the sea; more books made of his noble acts than there be in England, as well in Dutch, Italian, Spanish, and Greek as in French; and yet of record remain in witness of him in Wales in the town of Camelot the great stones and marvellous works of iron lying under the ground, and royal vaults, which divers now living hath seen. Wherefore it is a marvel why he is no more renowned in his own country, save only it accordeth to the word of God, which saith that no man is accepted for a prophet in his own country. Then all these things aforesaid alleged, I could not well deny but that there was such a noble king named Arthur, and reputed one of the nine worthy, and first and chief of the Christian men; and many noble volumes be made of him and of his noble knights in French, which I have seen and read beyond the sea, which be not had in our maternal tongue, but in Welsh be many, and also in French, and some in English, but nowhere nigh all. Wherefore such as have lately been drawn out briefly into English, I have, after the simple cunning that God hath sent to me, under the favour and correction of all noble lords and gentlemen, emprised to imprint a book of the noble histories of the said King Arthur and of certain of his knights, after a copy unto me delivered, which copy Sir Thomas Mallory did take out of certain books of French and reduced it into English. And I according to my copy have down set it in print, to the intent that noble men may see and learn the noblc acts of chivalry, the gentle and virtuous deeds that some knights used in those days, by which they came to honour, and how they that were vicious were punished and oft put to shame and rebuke; humbly beseeching all noble lords and ladies and all other estates, of what estate or degree they be of, that shall see and read in this said book and work, that they take the good and honest acts in their remembrance and to follow the same, wherein they shall find many joyous and pleasant histories and noble and renowned acts of humanity, gentleness, and chivalry. For herein may be seen noble chivalry, courtesy, humanity, friendliness, hardyhood, love, friendship, cowardice, murder, hate, virtue and sin. Do after the good and leave the evil, and it shall bring you to good' fame and renown. And for to pass the time this book shall be pleasant to read in; but for to give faith and believe that all is true that is contained herein, ye be at your liberty. But all is written for our doctrine, and for to beware that we fall not to vice ne sin, but to exercise and follow virtue, by which we may come and attain to good fame and renown in this life, and after this short and transitory life to come unto everlasting bliss in heaven; the which Hc grant us that reigneth in Heaven, the Blessed Trinity. Amen.
Then to proceed forth in this said book which I direct unto all noble princes, lords and ladies, gentlemen or gentlewomen, that desire to read or hear read of the noble and joyous history of the great conqueror and excellent king, King Arthur, sometime King of this noble realm then called Britain, I, William Caxton, simple person, present this book following which I have emprised to imprint. And treateth of the noble acts, feats of arms, of chivalry, prowess, hardihood, humanity, love, courtesy, and very gentleness, with many wonderful histories and adventures. And for to understand briefly the contents of this volume, I have divided it into 21 books, and every book chaptered, as hereafter shall by God's grace follow. The first book shall treat how Uther Pendragon begat the noble conqueror, King Arthur, and containeth 28 chapters. The second book treateth of Balyn the noble knight, and containeth 19 chapters. The third book treateth of the marriage of King Arthur to Queen Guinevere, with other matters, and containeth 15 chapters.

I co-produced the album with Joe and will also be playing with the Pisapia band every Thursday evening this month at the Pisapia Love-In. Beginning March 19th, CDs will be available at the Love-In through joepisapia.bandcamp.com, where you can also stream, download, and pay what you want for the album. There you will also find three singles Joe has released from Nightvision.
Nashvillians know Joe as the bandleader of Joe, Marc's Brother; others know him as the producer and collaborator for Guster, k.d. lang and the Siss Boom Bang, and Ben Folds Five. Joe's music has always meant so much to me, and it was an honor to collaborate on this project which I believe is the culmination of his musical life and work thus far. Have a listen to the singles and please enjoy Nightvision from this March 19th!

I have gathered a lot of information about my grandfather's sister Lillie Lagasse since 2007, but I still don't have pictures of Lillie or her husband Eugene Dubé who was a witness at my grandfather's wedding in 1912.
This is Lillie's file on Ancestry.
I have no pictures of Lillie or Eugene, but I am working on it using Facebook. I have found three grandchildren on Facebook and I hope they won't be scared away with my passion for pictures of their ancestors.
Imagine the surprise of three people getting this message on Facebook…
I have been working on my family tree since 2007. I found your name in your mother's obituary yesterday as I was searching for Dubé relatives.
The Dubés are related to my Lagacé lineage. Your father George was the son of Lillie Lagasse who was my grandfather's sister.
I have all the Lagacé lineage as well as the Dubé lineage. You can contact me if you want. I also have pictures of Lillie's siblings and her father Stanislas Lagacé (Dennis Lagasse) who emigrated to the U.S. in 1889.
You can pass this message along to relatives who might be interested.
Pierre Lagacé
To add to their surprise I have added this picture of their great-grandfather…!

Chametz-Free NYC, Day 6: Passover-Friendly Brunch
Editor's note: For eight days I'll be keeping a diary on eating well in New York while staying kosher for Passover. The goal: never feel hungry or desperate enough to touch matzo unless I want to. For the rules I'll be keeping, see here. All remarks and recommendations are personal and not intended as religious/cultural commentary.
It seems like the only thing more fashionable than enduring a long wait for brunch in New York is hating on going to brunch in New York. I'll admit: as someone who's not crazy about breakfast meats and sweet pancakes and fourteen variations on breakfast eggs, I have little love for most renditions of the meal. But Passover always hits a weekend, so if we have to eat brunch, it might as well be good.
Except that come Passover, brunch gets hard. No pancakes or English muffins. No Bloody Marys. No toast, oatmeal, grits, fried chicken, or bagels. Your traditional brunch place may not cut it.
That's why I paid a visit to one of the least kosher and most delicious places in New York: Shopsins. With a couple hundred or so items on the menu there—bowl sandwiches, three-part breakfast trays, and all—at least a couple are Passover-friendly.
What's New On Serious Eats
That doesn't mean ordering is easy. Do I just want fries for brunch? I asked. No, that's cheating. How about a turkey lunch tray? Can't: gravy. What about the soups? You don't know what goes in them, Max, and Shopsins isn't the kind of place where you ask.
I thought I was on to something with a grilled plantain dish, but nope: peanut mole.
But don't give up. The menu takes a good fifteen minutes to study, and it's all too easy to miss the Motulenos (plantains, peppers, feta, and Hatch chilies in an omelet, $18) or the Shopsins take on shakshuka ($18).
It's also easy to Passover-fy dishes with toast, like the Rope-A-Dope ($19), two legs of duck confit with scrambled eggs and thick-cut toast. It sounds almost boring by Shopsins standards, but those duck legs are meaty and bursting with juice, and the accompanying folds of eggs are tender and creamy. The price is more than reasonable for the amount of food you get.
And with duck and eggs this good, you won't miss the toast.

Restaurant Review
Casa de Benavidez
A taste of "old" Placitas in the North Valley
I first learned about Casa de Benavidez from an old hippie in Placitas. His eyes glazed dreamily as he described a North Valley restaurant that serves "Placitas-style" New Mexican food. Rita Benavidez, the owner, grew up near the old hippie's commune. When I asked him if he'd join me for dinner, he said, "Just give me enough advance notice. I'll need to shave."
We're nearing the end of the stone fruit season (apricots, peaches, nectarines and the like), and tomatoes are really rocking, so why not throw them together? Just like throwing a little salt on your dessert, these two fruits offer flavors and textures that complement and contrast each other; both are acidic, both are (or should be) sweet and both have a lusty, oozy nature that prompts slurping and licking. It was only a matter of time before they ended up on the cutting board together. Are peach soups and tomato cobblers in the not-so-distant future?

Readers of The Free Press write
Environmentalists growing government
I agree with the Free Press� editorial on "green" fuels (Nov. 16).
This is part of the larger hoax perpetrated on the American people.
Predicated on the global warming myth, the Green Movement is just another way for Big Government to confiscate wealth and control the populace. Ethanol as fuel has never been cost-efficient. It costs more to produce than it returns in real benefits. It is just another shell-game used to promote the political flim-flam that oozes out of the Washington, D.C., slime pit.
Back when I was an impressionable college student, I was required to take a "business ecology" course(whatever that means). It was a course that attempted to connect the dots between business and environment and social structure. I don�t remember much about it, except the professor was adamant about the impending maelstrom of the emerging environmental challenges and the effects on business and culture.
About the same time, I read "The Population Bomb" by Paul Erlich. The prophetic 1968 tome warned that, since the food supply increased arithmetically and population increased geometrically, we were surely doomed and the human race would eventually experience mass starvation. I think the cataclysmic year was predicted to be in the late 1970�s or early 1980�s. At the time, I became a disciple and was preaching the coming doom unless we made serious efforts to curb population growth. My father pooh-poohed the whole idea, which gave me serious doubts about the veracity of the theory.
Well, sure enough, the �70�s and �80�s came and went, as did the �90�s and 2000�s, and guess what? My dad was right. The world did not come to an end. Technology enabled the agriculture industry to continue to feed the world. Erlich�s theory was debunked. But the environmental movement had been encouraged and continues to gather momentum among the idealistic, impressionable aging hippies and their spawn.
The whole debate over global warming, carbon footprints, etc. has proven to be an effective means to transfer money and control to a large centralized government, resulting in new taxes, new regulations and more bureaucracy. It is a created crisis, pure and simple. Climate change is as real today as it was when the tectonic plates shifted and broke pangaea into various smaller land-masses. Our climate has experienced warming spells and ice ages over countless years and will continue to do so until the earth exists no longer. The real tragedy is that government has engineered a scheme to profit from it at the expense of the populace.

Nation continues down wrong path
I was wrong! I really thought that Mitt Romney would unseat President Obama!
I was wrong in thinking that a majority of voters would see the fallacy of the many failed policies of the present administration and that four more years of the same is not good for our country.
I was wrong in believing that the majority of voters would see the "handwriting on the wall" and know that the direction in which we are heading is exactly opposite of what our founding fathers had in mind when our country was founded.
I was wrong in thinking that the general electorate would be informed enough to realize that Obamacare, same-sex marriage and abortion on demand are bad for our country.
I was wrong in thinking that at least the majority of voters would realized that bigger government, higher taxes and leveling the playing field through redistribution of wealth are all liberal policies that lead to socialism, communism, and eventual anarchy.
I was wrong in thinking that at least a majority of voters would understand that we were founded on godly principles, but that our present record strongly indicates we have forgotten God and are headed in the wrong direction.
I hope I am wrong in believing that our rising national debt and sluggish economy are teetering on the brink of disaster.
I hope I am wrong in believing that our culture is becoming so utterly depraved that we face the strong possibility of the same destruction the early Romans faced as outlined in Chapter 1 of Paul�s letter to the Romans. See if you see in America what I think I�m seeing as was in the Roman culture of its day.
"�.Professing to be wise, they become fools, �Therefore God gave them up to uncleanness in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the creator,�For this reason God gave them up to vile passions�. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature�. Likewise men� committing what is shameful�. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, unkindness, courteousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit evil mindedness;� haters of God, violence, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents�." (Romans 1:18-31, NLT)�And list goes on and on.
I hope I�m wrong! But, whether I�m right or wrong on any or all these the matters, all of God�s people are called upon to "humble themselves, and pray and seek (God�s) face, and turn from their wicked ways." If we do, He promises He "will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14). I was wrong about a lot of things, but I believe I�m right about that! At least that�s what God�s Word says.
The best thing we can do at this point is to pray for our country!
Dan E. Perry
Silent witnesses share in the guilt
When do we break the silence?
I can�t believe that someone can go through abuse both physical and mental and no one is responsible for their actions. There are so many questions that have come to my mind about the type of abuse my uncle had to endure in an environment such as the O�Berry Center and the deeds seem to go unpunished.
How long has this been going on and with how many patient�s that have been entrusted in the care of the staff? Why hasn�t any of the staff spoken out about what actually goes on at the center? Do they think that since it�s not one of their family members that it�s none of my business and they look the other way? There are so many unanswered questions and when will it stop.
No patient should receive the type of abuse and treatment that my uncle endured and what long-term effect will this have on him. He is 72 years old with the mind of a 4 year old and even he knows when he was mistreated. The pain he endured was unbearable and I can�t imagine that no one tried to stop what was happening to him. What I feel in my heart, words could never begin to express my true feelings.
My uncle was a happy, loving, caring and bubbly person before the abuse was inflicted on him and I can�t take that pain away. No one can. Only time will heal wounds and he is now a person who is afraid, very distant, and he has recurring nightmares that may never stop and doesn�t trust anyone now after what he has gone through. My heart hurts to see him this way. How can anyone have a clear conscious and sleep knowing they saw the abuse and yet did nothing to stop it?
It has been a long journey and I quit a job that I truly loved because I don�t trust anyone to leave my uncle with for fear of the same thing happening to him again. I know that someone had to see the bruises and yet nothing was said or questions asked as to how he got them. It was unbelievable to see the wounds they gave him free of charge or the midnight visits that were done to inflict the unthinkable and words will never express the pain it has caused me to know that this has happened to someone that can�t take care of themselves without help.
Who is going to speak out for the little boy that�s within him? How can anyone live with themselves after not reporting what they saw? God saw and he knows all of the guilty parties and he has the last say. "Vengeance is mine, said the Lord, I will repay."
Gwendolyn Woods
The allegations of abuse referred to by Ms. Woods have been investigated by O�Berry and the Wayne County Department of Social Services and information forwarded to the district attorney�s office, according to documents that were the basis for a story in The Free Press of Nov. 10. No agency involved in the case has commented publicly on the allegations, however, citing rules governing patient privacy. � Editor

Crozet's choking out here
The news article, "ARB outrage: Tree angst at White Gables" in the November 17 edition, caught my eye. I have always enjoyed the view of the white mansions while driving back and forth to Câville and was concerned about that view when the construction started.
Thus, I am in full agreement with ARB's concerns about the trees. However, I couldn't help thinking about the recent radical change of scenery brought about by the new Crozet development adjacent to Highlands. What had been a beautiful view of the mountains has been all but obliterated by crammed-together houses.
To use Candace Smith's words describing her issues with the trees at White Gables, the Crozet development has "completely changed the landscape." To top it off, those houses are so close to the road that one has to wonder about the safety of the occupants if a car should lose control.
Out here in Crozet, one of the County Growth Areas, we have many concerns about what the planning board and ARB are approving. Can they see beyond the white mansions close to Charlottesville? I would ask that they take a drive all the way to Crozet before making any more decisions regarding developments out here.
Currently, the farm(s) along Route 240 between Highlands and Western Ridge are in the development process. Please, planners, monitor the site plans more carefully. How about preserving a belt of trees between the new houses and Western Ridge?

The Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival from the interns' point of view
Monday, April 15, 2013
Blog posting written by Andrew Ronald, Film, Photography & Visual Arts '15, Mahopac NY, Social Media Manager
This 16th annual Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival has come and gone, and let me just say it was such a powerful experience.
Being a blogger has allowed me to develop my own voice, communicate my own thoughts, and fully immerse in the festival's program.
And what a program it was.
The events were transcending. The flash mobs were interactive and well-received. The festival was educational.
I explored different cultures, met high-profile artists and professionals, and collaborated with a refreshingly positive team of enthusiastic individuals.
To say the least, mobilities was the perfect theme for the festival, because the experience was truly moving.
