'Alice in Westerland' a sheer delight
The Village
My husband and I attended a play called "Alice in Westerland" at the Shelby School on Thursday, May 15.
Last chance to see Shelby School play this evening

When is the wind going to stop? The weather is just going crazy. Isn't it said somewhere that the winds are supposed to be in March? There have been objects flying around our yard for about three weeks now.
Week sees computer bugs and bears – Oh my!
The Village
It happened again! My computer crashed — this time because of Internet Explorer.
Wild weather this past weekend
The Village
We had rain! We had snow! We had wind! In fact tremendous gusts of wind hit Tonto Village on Saturday. I have at least four hummingbird feeders hanging and the wind was so strong they rocked back and forth. The poor hummers were flying every which way in total confusion as to where to go. One hummer stayed on our back porch until the wind subsided a bit.

Perfect weather, but rain needed for dry forest
The Village
The weather has been just perfect in the Village — the fruit trees are just about to pop their blossoms as well as the lilacs and the bulb flowers are starting to appear. But there is one big problem — we have had no rain and the forest is very dry.

The Village
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone, especially to my hubby, Bill. We have been together for 56 years and he is the love of my life. My life with Bill has been better than I ever imagined it could be. Thank you, Bill, for your love.
Chance of snow – keep your fingers crossed
The Village
Tonto Village had a dusting of snow on Monday afternoon. In anticipation of a significant amount, my hubby broke out his snow shovel and he watched the snowflakes as they became bigger and bigger, then smaller and smaller, then stopped.
Lack of moisture a growing concern
The Village
What? The last day of January? Are we sure we didn't warp into spring and left winter behind? The drought situation is not funny, if we don't get some kind of precipitation; we are in for a very scary spring and summer.

Seems winter has passed by Rim Country
The Village
Has winter passed us by and gone on to the middle of the country? The Rim Country has had just a few inches of snow and very mild temperatures compared to most of the United States. How fortunate we are to be living in Arizona.

Holiday happenings and more in the Village
The Village

Wood-stove weather is on the way

Fall looks fabulous in Tonto Village
I can't help marveling over the fall colors of the aspen and maple trees. The apple trees are bending over with their bountiful harvest of golden and red apples. It is almost sad to watch the falling leaves and realize that winter will be here before you know it.
Hellsgate Fire Department stays busy
This past week has been a busy one for the Hellsgate Fire Department and the Fireflies Auxiliary and I don't mean call outs either, although the firefighters had many of them including one on the same day as their open house Oct. 10.
Learn to drive fire engines and more
Last Thursday evening, my husband and I attended a Tea Party meeting that featured a discussion regarding the re-introduction of the Mexican gray wolf into the Rim Country.There were ranchers there from northern Arizona who spoke of the destruction of their cattle by the wolf.

Seven Shelby students cast in Missoula play
The summer is moving along too fast. There are only nine days left to the month of August. The monsoons are now hit and miss, teasing us with sprinkles almost every afternoon, so I guess that season is just about over.

What happened to the monsoon rains? I am wondering whether the season is already over.

Naomi Ruden has a degree in sculpture from the University of Washington. She's been unemployed since being laid off as office manager for University Baptist Church in Seattle five months ago.
Daniel McKee studied printmaking and photography at Western Washington University. He has not earned a full-time paycheck since losing his job as a manager and custom framer at Aaron Brothers in Issaquah in July.
Now Ruden and McKee are training for a blue-collar dream — jobs as ship welders they hope would offer a secure living and annual pay of $40,000 or more.
The two Seattle residents are among 19 students enrolled in a maritime welding class for dislocated workers. The program was created jointly last year by Vigor Shipyards and South Seattle Community College.

- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more
Most Read Stories
Ruden's and McKee's midcareer switch — borne out of hope, desperation and a dose of faith — was driven by an economy still sputtering to recover. The Great Recession officially ended in June 2009. Washington state has gained back all the jobs lost during the recession.
Yet 10.2 million Americans remain out of work. More than 8 million others have resigned themselves to part-time jobs or given up job hunting altogether. Nearly 36 percent of the jobless have been unemployed more than six months, according to the Economic Policy Institute, levels unseen before the recent downturn.
The welding program is part of a public investment to return idled workers to payrolls. Vigor spent $500,000 to convert a warehouse at its Seattle shipyard on Harbor Island into a training center. But federal money, managed by the Workforce Development Council of Seattle — King County, covers the cost of tuition, books, fees, masks and other supplies, totaling an average of $4,440 per student.
President Obama called for more such spending, including jobs training through community colleges, in his 2015 budget outline released this week. U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, who chairs the Senate budget committee, has long pushed for greater investment in worker training, noting that the United States lags far behind other industrial nations.
On Wednesday, Gov. Jay Inslee ordered the state to redirect $4 million in federal money normally earmarked to help workers during mass layoffs at single companies to instead fund "new strategies to return the long-term unemployed to work as fast as possible."
Many Republicans in Congress, in contrast, are focused foremost on cutting the deficit, not boosting agency funding. And since January, Senate Republicans three times blocked efforts to renew 37 weeks of emergency-unemployment benefits, which expired at the end of December. Washington residents still can collect up to 26 weeks of benefits covered by unemployment-insurance tax on employers.
Elusive job openings
For Ruden and McKee, learning to weld has given them more than just a shot at a new livelihood. It also has meant deliverance from a disheartening hunt for elusive job openings.
Ruden, who turns 40 this month, had a single interview since she lost her job in October. She knows it could be worse.
"I know people who went two years without ever having an interview," said Ruden, who is single and lives on Capitol Hill. Still, "I think if I weren't in the (welding) class, I would be more downbeat."
Ruden isn't receiving unemployment benefits because churches are allowed to opt out of the insurance program, as University Baptist did.
For McKee, the training program is a chance to break away from low-paying retail jobs he's held since graduating in 2000. He believes his fine-arts background — along with brushing up on math — has given him an aptitude for welding.
McKee said he's thrilled with the opportunity to "hopefully make a real career change doing something lucrative that I enjoy."
Of the 19 people who graduated from the inaugural six-month welding class in December, 14 had landed jobs by the end of February. Vigor hired six of them; Nucor Steel, Foss shipyard and other employers claimed the rest, said Brian Mannion, a Vigor spokesman.
Mannion said welding jobs at Vigor start at about $14 an hour and rise to $20 an hour. With overtime, he said, annual pay can top $70,000.
The maritime industry in the Puget Sound area is enjoying a resurgence. Vigor is building two Washington State Ferries, repairing the Navy destroyer USS Momsen and recently completed a major overhaul of a Coast Guard ice breaker.
Yet it's not uncommon, Mannion said, for Vigor to get job applicants who've never picked up a welding torch. The training program with South Seattle Community College was the company's way of ensuring a pipeline of qualified workers.
Path to employment
The pool of unemployed workers who need help training for new careers dwarfs the dollars available. The 2014 budget for the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration — the main federal purse for the welding class at Vigor and other worker-training programs — is $3.15 billion. By contrast, 2013 federal spending on food stamps was $76 billion.
The two-year budget agreement Murray struck in December with Rep. Paul Ryan, her counterpart as chairman of the House Budget Committee, helped restore about $200 million in training funding that had been targeted for cuts under sequestration.
Marléna Sessions, chief executive officer for Workforce Development Council of Seattle — King County, said acquiring skills in targeted industries is a proven path to employment. The council acts as a matchmaker between job seekers and industries, and distributes federal grants to training programs at community and technical colleges, as well as helping operate 24 free WorkSource centers in King County for job hunters.
Tens of thousands of people in Washington are enrolled in job-training programs, paid for with a combination of state and federal dollars and offered through nonprofit agencies, as well as the state's 34 community and technical colleges.
Sessions said her agency's federal funding fell to $15.4 million last year, down from $19.3 million in 2009, when it benefited from an infusion of federal stimulus money. Adjusted for inflation, Sessions said, her budget is smaller than it had been in the 1970s.
Meanwhile, some 40,000 Washington residents were kicked off or have run out of unemployment benefits since Congress let the extended benefits expire Dec. 28. An estimated 5,000 people continue to exhaust their benefits each month, said Sheryl Hutchison, spokeswoman for the Washington State Employment Security Department.
One of them was McKee, who received his final check this week. McKee stretched his 26 weeks of benefits by a couple of months by taking less than the $342 he qualified for. He offset the reduced amount with earnings from a weekend gig as a courier for Postmates, which delivers food and merchandise ordered via smartphones.
In a job market flooded with unemployed workers, McKee said he's grateful for the time and help to prepare for a serious career change. His wife, Sierra Wahlke, also lost her manager's position at Aaron Brothers, an art and framing chain store, last summer. Within a month, she jumped at a job offer from Starbucks as shift supervisor. But that paid less than what she would have collected in unemployment.
In hindsight, McKee believes, his wife would have been better off to have been pickier. Wahlke, 32, since has switched to a full-time cashier's job at Trader Joe's on Capitol Hill.
"I think it's to the nation's benefit to have more skilled workers employed in better-paying industries," he said.

Marilyn Entrikin got her flu shot this week. Safe from the flu now.
We don't have any black cats for Halloween to be spooky. We do have enough cats of other colors to work just as well. They have their Halloween basket out for cat treats. We wanted to have Tommy, our tomcat, to climb his ladder to entertain everyone, but he's smart enough not to do the trick when you want him to. And wish enough to make you mad that he would. I can get him to climb three steps when I stand by the ladder if Tex is near so he can give him a dirty look before he climbs.
Danny Hogan from Horton stopped by to visit with Tex McKinley and Dora Jean Saturday afternoon. As always, Danny is busy dong a little bit of everything.

Best thing about this place is the ban on smoking, that, and dipped cones. The Royal is average at best, but will be described by locals as the best hamburger around. These will be the same people who describe CB's have have the best hamburger around usually 3 to 4 breaths later. In actuality, those people just never ventured outside of the city limits of Greenville. Still, dipped cones are worth at least 3 stars.

CLEVELAND (AP) — The former head of an agency that oversaw Head Start and certain Cleveland-area anti-poverty programs has been charged in federal court with accepting $24,000 in illegal goods and services.
Sixty-nine-year-old Jacqueline Middleton of the Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights resigned in April from the Council of Economic Opportunities of Greater Cleveland after it became known she was under investigation. She is accused of accepting work on her home and other things of value from two contractors who worked for the agency.
An information filed Tuesday in Cleveland charged her with two counts of fraud, one count of bribery and one count of conspiracy. A charge by information generally means a person has agreed to plead guilty and to cooperate with prosecutors.
Her attorney could not be immediately reached for comment.

We know him as Pauly D, but in the DJ circuit, which the "Jersey Shore" star has been dominating ever since he snagged his career-boosting residency at the Palms Hotel, his David Guetta-meets-DJ Khaled style has helped earn him a proper nickname that's unrelated to his Seaside shenanigans. "They actually call me 'The Bridge' because I bridge the gap between house and hip-hop," he tells MTV News' Sway in the latest issue of YRB magazine.
As devout MTV show bloggers, we know enough about the kid to say that Pauly's much more than a human melanin factory with a set of turntables at his fingertips. He's successful because he's actually got talent (and as devout bloggers, we can't say that about everyone), which is what got him that opening spot on Britney Spears' successful "Femme Fatale" arena tour (you remember, the one where she gave him a lap dance?), a deal with 50 Cent (whom he refers to as a "beast") and even his own show, "The Pauly D Project."
And while many celebrities tend to lose their s*** when cameras are glued to them like the rhinestones on an Ed Hardy tee, the Rhode Island native enjoys every second of it it. "I'm addicted to the cameras now. It's almost as if I expect them to be outside now," he says when Sway asks him if he's tired of having a producer watch his every move. "There are times you wish you had a certain amount of anonymity, but in the end, the good outweighs the bad." We're assuming that the "bad" he's referring to has something to do with being stalked.

Wilkes-Barre infant's death ruled homicide
The death of a two-month old child in Wilkes-Barre has been ruled a homicide, police said.
The child's identity has not yet been released and police have identified the suspect or suspects as "unknown" as of Tuesday night.
Drew McLaughlin, the city's municipal services manager, confirmed the report initially posted on the police department's Facebook page.
Investigators are still conducting interviews and trying to piece together the circumstances surrounding the boy's death, McLaughlin said.
"It is an open investigation," McLaughlin said. "Investigators are working to determine the circumstances of the incident in coordination with Luzerne County District Attorney's Office."
According to police, Wilkes-Barre Emergency Medical Service units responded at about 8:20 a.m. Sunday to 351 N. Washington St. in reference to a two-month old male in "medical distress."
When paramedics arrived on-scene, the child was transported to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital for treatment, police said.
According to reports, upon arrival at the hospital, staff worked on the infant who had stopped breathing, but attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead.
An autopsy conducted Monday ruled the death a homicide.
Wilkes-Barre police referred questions regarding the case to Captain of Detectives Joseph Coffay. A voicemail left for Coffay on Tuesday night was not returned.

Chiang Dao:
In a misplaced attempt to be adventurous, I agreed to go caving with my roommates. Chiang Dao Cave is about 70 km north of Chiang Mai in a quaint provincial town. Sounds like a nice day trip, right? We thought so. Our first stop was The Nest 2, a deceptively swanky hotel/restaurant at the base of the Chiang Dao mountain. I think northern Thailand may actually be the Twilight Zone, because the afternoon could not have been weirder. Two of our French Presses exploded simultaneously in a geyser of boiling water and coffee grinds, the restaurant ran out of fruit and white rice (this one really baffles me), decorations fell off the walls as we ate, and our waitress spoke Thai but only responded to English. We bolted for the cave before the roof came down over our heads.
I've never seen anything quite like the cave. Every few meters, there was some kind of Buddha shrine or statue; the cave itself was a temple. Though there are hundreds of Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai and orange-robed monks on every corner, it's harder to see Buddhism in everyday life in a city context. It was fascinating to see how the cave had been appropriated and made into a place of worship and meditation. Though it was admittedly a little creepy when I realized what I thought was a shiny vein of stone was actually a gold-encrusted prostrate Buddha. And that the clicking, swooping shadows above were actually hundreds of bats.
Chiang Mai:
I was sitting inside Starbucks (don't worry, I've thoroughly contributed to the independent Thai coffee scene too! Viva la local business!) and the monsoon rain began. At first, I was unconcerned; I had a hot latte, a long research paper to write, and nowhere to be. And then I glanced out the window between articles and – HOLY SMOKES MY MOTORBIKE WAS DROWNING. The soi (small side road) where I parked had turned into a river in a matter of minutes. Water was rushing down the road in waves, murky with debris. I'm pretty sure I could have surfed on the wake from passing cars, but I only had eyes for my poor, battered, half-submerged motorbike.
I convinced the lovely Thai gentlemen behind the counter to watch my purse and computer while I moved the bike to higher grounds. The one barista who spoke English thrust the most unwieldy umbrella in Southeast Asia at me with a pleasant smile; he thought I was clinically insane for going outside. And perhaps I was. Before I could even clear the Starbucks patio, the umbrella got stuck in a decorative gingko tree and I broke one of the metal arms wrenching it free. I stood on the curb for a few seconds, contemplating the safety of stepping into two feet of brown, rushing water, then hopped in. At that precise moment, I was treated to a blinding flash of lightning. While I held the world's largest umbrella. Standing in two feet of water. It was high time to find a new parking spot.
I fumbled with the umbrella and ended up driving Mary Poppins style, clutching the umbrella with one hand and steering with the other. Even got a parking spot on a hill. I now feel sufficiently Thai.
(Sorry, no picture for this one – the rain would have fried my camera)
Mae Sot:
I spent a lot of time on the road in the past few days, first heading south for the weekend to spend some time with refugee kids. Mae Sot is a fascinating city. It's situated on the border opposite the Burmese town of Myawaddy, so it's populated by just about every ethnic minority in Burma. Walking through the streets of Mae Sot, you can hear Burmese, Karen, Thai, English, and Shan in the span of a block. For breakfast one morning, my friends and I went to the Lucky Tea Garden, a curry house owned by a Muslim family that's nestled across the street from the lively Thai/Burmese Sunday market. For 22 baht ($.70), we each got several pieces of brick oven naan bread, chickpea cilantro curry, and Burmese tea.
After breakfast, we hung out with refugee kids from Mae La Refugee Camp, getting a sense of the educational and resource needs on the ground. It always amazes me how much you can communicate without words (the only Karen phrases I know are gwala gay (good morning) and tee klah (hot water), really useful in the jungle. Not.) We walked until we reached a dam; the kids were ecstatic. I thought about how far they had come to reach this place, far above the city of Mae Sot with Burma and the mountains in the distance. Some of them had fled from the forests of Burma when they were young; some had grown up inside the refugee camp, knowing nothing beyond its barbed-wire walls. It was so powerful to stand on that hill over the city with them, confident that these dynamic, intelligent kids had a chance at the future they deserved, not one dictated by the Burma Army, statelessness, or apathy.
Final note:
I finished my opus of the summer. For the past few weeks, I have been watching, organizing, recording, and cataloguing my NGO's human rights video collection. My organization has amassed over a thousand hours of on-the-ground footage in Burma, capturing military clashes, limb amputations, births, deaths, the destruction of villages, and the rebuilding of lives. A lot of the footage was difficult to watch; it wasn't uncommon for teams to come across the corpses of ethnic villagers in the jungle, unburied, mangled bodies.
Yet ultimately, the project gave me an incredible sense of hope. There's peace in Burma – for now – but whether or not the peace process comes to fruition, Burma's ethnic people will continue to be an amazing example of resilience, humor, and hope. For every clip of hardship, there were hours of joy. Children laughing and playing, young men gathered around a fire with a guitar, beautiful meals prepared for strangers by villagers with nothing, teachers bringing up the next generation in a jungle classroom, medical care and recovery. The ethnic people of Burma deserve peace.
One year ago, I knew next to nothing about the struggle for freedom in Burma. Now, after a summer spent researching, listening, and learning, I can't think of a worthier cause.

Washington The Department of Veterans Affairs says it will allow more veterans to obtain health care at private hospitals and clinics.
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki announced the change Saturday.
He says VA facilities are enhancing their clinic capacity to help veterans get care sooner. In cases where officials cannot increase capacity at VA centers, Shinseki says the agency is "increasing the care we acquire in the community through non-VA care."
The VA is facing allegations that veterans have died while awaiting treatment at VA centers, and that employees have falsified appointment records to cover up delays in care.
Arizona Sen. John McCain and other lawmakers have called for the VA to allow more veterans to receive medical care at private hospitals.

16 U.S. Code § 824a - Interconnection and coordination of facilities; emergencies; transmission to foreign countries
For the purpose of assuring an abundant supply of electric energy throughout the United States with the greatest possible economy and with regard to the proper utilization and conservation of natural resources, the Commission is empowered and directed to divide the country into regional districts for the voluntary interconnection and coordination of facilities for the generation, transmission, and sale of electric energy, and it may at any time thereafter, upon its own motion or upon application, make such modifications thereof as in its judgment will promote the public interest. Each such district shall embrace an area which, in the judgment of the Commission, can economically be served by such interconnection and coordinated electric facilities. It shall be the duty of the Commission to promote and encourage such interconnection and coordination within each such district and between such districts. Before establishing any such district and fixing or modifying the boundaries thereof the Commission shall give notice to the State commission of each State situated wholly or in part within such district, and shall afford each such State commission reasonable opportunity to present its views and recommendations, and shall receive and consider such views and recommendations.
Whenever the Commission, upon application of any State commission or of any person engaged in the transmission or sale of electric energy, and after notice to each State commission and public utility affected and after opportunity for hearing, finds such action necessary or appropriate in the public interest it may by order direct a public utility (if the Commission finds that no undue burden will be placed upon such public utility thereby) to establish physical connection of its transmission facilities with the facilities of one or more other persons engaged in the transmission or sale of electric energy, to sell energy to or exchange energy with such persons:
During the continuance of any war in which the United States is engaged, or whenever the Commission determines that an emergency exists by reason of a sudden increase in the demand for electric energy, or a shortage of electric energy or of facilities for the generation or transmission of electric energy, or of fuel or water for generating facilities, or other causes, the Commission shall have authority, either upon its own motion or upon complaint, with or without notice, hearing, or report, to require by order such temporary connections of facilities and such generation, delivery, interchange, or transmission of electric energy as in its judgment will best meet the emergency and serve the public interest. If the parties affected by such order fail to agree upon the terms of any arrangement between them in carrying out such order, the Commission, after hearing held either before or after such order takes effect, may prescribe by supplemental order such terms as it finds to be just and reasonable, including the compensation or reimbursement which should be paid to or by any such party.
During the continuance of any emergency requiring immediate action, any person engaged in the transmission or sale of electric energy and not otherwise subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission may make such temporary connections with any public utility subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission or may construct such temporary facilities for the transmission of electric energy in interstate commerce as may be necessary or appropriate to meet such emergency, and shall not become subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission by reason of such temporary connection or temporary construction:
After six months from August 26, 1935, no person shall transmit any electric energy from the United States to a foreign country without first having secured an order of the Commission authorizing it to do so. The Commission shall issue such order upon application unless, after opportunity for hearing, it finds that the proposed transmission would impair the sufficiency of electric supply within the United States or would impede or tend to impede the coordination in the public interest of facilities subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission. The Commission may by its order grant such application in whole or in part, with such modifications and upon such terms and conditions as the Commission may find necessary or appropriate, and may from time to time, after opportunity for hearing and for good cause shown, make such supplemental orders in the premises as it may find necessary or appropriate.
The ownership or operation of facilities for the transmission or sale at wholesale of electric energy which is (a) generated within a State and transmitted from the State across an international boundary and not thereafter transmitted into any other State, or (b) generated in a foreign country and transmitted across an international boundary into a State and not thereafter transmitted into any other State, shall not make a person a public utility subject to regulation as such under other provisions of this subchapter. The State within which any such facilities are located may regulate any such transaction insofar as such State regulation does not conflict with the exercise of the Commission's powers under or relating to subsection (e).
1978—Subsec. (g). Pub. L. 95–617 added subsec. (g).
1953—Subsec. (f). Act Aug. 7, 1953, added subsec. (f).
Pub. L. 95–617, title II, § 206(b), Nov. 9, 1978, 92 Stat. 3142, provided that:
Functions of President respecting certain facilities constructed and maintained on United States borders delegated to Secretary of State, see Ex. Ord. No. 11423, Aug. 16, 1968. 33 F.R. 11741, set out as a note under section 301 of Title 3, The President.
For provisions relating to performance of functions by Secretary of Energy respecting electric power and natural gas facilities located on United States borders, see Ex. Ord. No. 10485, Sept. 8, 1953, 18 F.R. 5397, as amended by Ex. Ord. No. 12038, Feb. 3, 1978, 43 F.R. 4957, set out as a note under section 717b of Title 15, Commerce and Trade.

The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen L. Hill of Boerne. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard J. Wadle of Floresville. Prelude music began at 3:30 p.m. and was performed by the Myriad String Quartet of San Marcos.
The bride was given in marriage by her father, Stephen L. Hill, in a double-ring ceremony performed by Pastor Charles Flowers. She wore an ivory lace gown with a strapless, sweetheart bodice. The fit and flare silhouette was adorned with beading, and a side-split lace feature in the skirt revealed an inset of tulle. Romantic elegance was created with a lace-up back and traditional chapel train. She wore camel brown Western riding boots with a design of ivory embroidery.
She carried a bouquet of her favorite flowers wrapped in burlap and lace. Sunflowers and white daisies were the perfect accent for her bridal gown, and guests were surrounded with them in lovely floral designs along the walls of the chapel. Sconces were also decorated with branches and blue delphiniums for this country chic wedding.
The bride was attended by matron of honor Lisa Rose Krueger, a college friend from George West and maid of honor Carli Brown Carter, a friend since childhood who resides in Floresville.
The groom's attendants were best man, brother of the bride Lee Austin Hill, who resides in Boerne, and groomsman, David Alan Wright, a friend of the bride and groom who resides in Choate.
The reception was held on site in the Amazing Love Reception Hall.
The bride and groom are employed by Wright Ranches and make their home in Pawnee.

Cllimate Change Forum at Bridgeview
On Thursday, February 13 at 7:30 PM, local Democratic club Bay Ridge Democrats will host a forum on climate change at the Bridgeview Diner, 9011 3rd Avenue in Bay Ridge.
Guest speakers will include Climate Reality's Paul Reale, Lyna Hinkel of 350.org, and Eric Cesnik of Organize for Action.
Despite the broad consensus within the global scientific community that climate change is real, Brooklyn's climate change deniers continue to debate the point, frittering away precious time that could be spent confronting climate change head-on.
At the forum, you will learn the basics of climate change (what it is, how it matters, and where we are today in addressing its effects); how our borough and our city will be affected as sea level rise and extreme weather advance; and how political action can help us move past the deniers.
All are welcome.

coming up on Monday's show....poet Rita Ann Higgins whose latest collection is "Tongulish", film-director Whit Stillman chats about adapting Jane Austen for the big screen in "Love & Friendship" and rockers "Overhead The Albatross" in session
On tonights programme Declan Burke looks at a Crime Round Up, if you missed some information about the books you can listen back to the podcast here. The list of books reviewed tonight are listed below;
The Double by George Pelecanos (Orion)
The Double (Orion, €19.99) is the second novel from George Pelecanos to feature Spero Lucas, a veteran of the Iraq war now operating as a private investigator in Washington DC. Approached by a woman who has been scammed out of a valuable painting, Lucas takes the job, only to find himself quickly embroiled in a situation in which brutal violence offers the only exit strategy. An award-winning writer on the TV shows The Wire and Treme, among others, Pelecanos has been writing crime novels concerned with the effects of social and cultural conditioning since he debuted with A Firing Offence in 1992. As was the case with the first Spero Lucas novel, The Cut 2011.
Water Music by Margie Orford (Head of Zeus)
Margie Orford's Water Music (Head of Zeus, €18.75) is fascinated with the way in which cultural and political pressures impact on criminal behaviour. Here the setting is contemporary South Africa, as profiler Clare Hart, who specialises in cases relating to missing children, tries to discover who abandoned a young child to die on the side of a mountain above Cape Town. Operating on meagre resources, and harassed by politicians determined to maintain the fiction of a healthy democracy.
The Missing File by DA Mishani (Quercus)
Set in the small Israeli city of Holon on the outskirts of Tel Aviv, D.A. Mishani's debut The Missing File (Quercus, €11.50) begins with the mother of a young boy reporting his disappearance to Inspector Avraham Avraham. Perplexed but initially unconcerned children are never kidnapped or killed in Israel.
In the Morning I'll Be Gone by Adrian McKinty (Serpent's Tail)
A Catholic officer in the RUC during the 1980s, Sean Duffy is that classic staple of the crime novel, the insider with an outsider's perspective. Adrian McKinty's In the Morning I'll Be Gone (Serpent's Tail, €18.75) follows on from The Cold, Cold Ground (2012) and I Hear the Sirens in the Street (2013), both of which were set in Northern Ireland and had for their backdrops the hunger strikes and the DeLorean affair, respectively.
The Silent Wife by ASA Harrison (Headline)
The Silent Wife (Headline, €14.99) is a debut novel, although, sadly, ASA Harrison died shortly before her book was published. The story is told through the eyes of Jodi and Todd, a married couple living in Chicago who are experiencing a tumultuous period in their relationship, particularly as the womanising Todd, now a successful businessman who chases much younger women, appears to have forgotten all the sacrifices Jodi made as he struggled to establish himself. Jodi, who works part-time as a psychotherapist in their plush apartment home, seems to take it all in her stride.
Unravelling Oliver by Liz Nugent (Penguin Ireland)
Liz Nugent's Unravelling Oliver (Penguin Ireland, €14.99) opens with Dublin-based writer Oliver Ryan viciously beating his wife Alice. The assault is described in the first person by Oliver himself, but Oliver's is only one of a number of first-person accounts on offer here, each one a piece of the jigsaw that gradually assembles itself into portrait of a pathetic young boy who grew up to become a monster who writes best-selling children's books.

Treatment Report: Facsimile of the Black-Letter Prayer Book
by bookwyrmbound
Title: Facsimile of the Black-Letter Prayer Book
Author: N/A
Place of Publication: London
Date of Publication: 1871
Binding: Bound in vellum over boards, with yapp edges at the foredge. Both boards completely detached, spine missing and spine lining worn, leaving sewing visible. Boards are flat and in relatively good condition. Vellum is heavily soiled but not warped. At the corners, the vellum is torn, leaving the board exposed. Board at corners delaminating.
Sewing: Sewn all-along on sunken cords, first signature whip-stitched. The sewing is mostly intact, with some breakages at the attachment of the first signature, and one break of the kettle stitch and first cord toward the middle of the textblock.
Paper: Thin, discolored, and quite brittle. Described as between beige (1) and brown, thickness medium (1), texture smooth (Print Council of America Paper Sample Book, 1966). Some losses on early pages. There is a folded letter glued to the front board. The paper is described as beige (1), thickness medium (1), and very smooth (Print Council of America Paper Sample Book, 1966). It is quite creased and has some tears, and is soiled in places. The writing is in iron-gall ink.
Endpapers: Single bifolio, tipped on. Same paper as the text.
Forwarding: The spine is heavily rounded and sharply backed, and the boards fit tightly into the shoulders. No endbands. No decoration.
Remove letter from front board, flatten, mend tears with wheat paste and JT.
Spit-clean vellum.
Undo whip-stitch on first signature and repair with JT.
Resew first signature to text block; repair other breaks in sewing as needed.
Line spine and construct hollow tube.
Laminate airplane linen and JT to create vellum lookalike spine.
Reattach boards.
Spot Tests: Spot-tested the vellum to see if spit-cleaning would work, using a cotton swab. It removed much of the dirt and did not damage the surface texture of the vellum, so both boards were cleaned using the same technique.
Paper and Media: Removed letter from front board using lifting knife. Removed some of the excess glue from the leather using a poultice of 4% methylcellulose. Used a water pen filled with distilled water to moisten the creases and unfolded them until the paper lay flat. Let dry under weight. Mended tears as needed using Kizukishi tissue and wheat starch paste. Constructed Mylar folder for letter, which will remain with book.
Removed first signature and undid whip-stitch. Some of the leaves had been glued together, so they were guarded as one unit. Guarded the remaining leaves together, and then guarded the two sets together to create a hinge to sew through. In order to avoid creating a breaking edge, the two groups were guarded together with two layers of Kizukishi cut to different widths. When the guards were dry, the signature was folded so it fit into the shoulder of the book.
Forwarding: It became clear that the cords and sewing were quite fragile, since open the book to access the break in the sewing caused another cord to break. To stabilize the book, the spine was lined with Sekishu tissue using wheat starch paste. Sewed the first signature onto the book using 35/3 linen thread in a pamphlet stitch.
After applying three layers of Gutenburg paper to the spine with wheat paste, opened the book at the break in the sewing and inserted a hinge of Kizukishi tissue between the two signatures. Two more layers of Gutenburg were added to the spine. The spine was lined so as to be quite rigid, in order to prevent undue strain on the sewing.
Once the spine was dry, an extended spine lining of airplane linen was made, reaching about 1 inch onto each board. It was attached with PVA (since it was being glued only to new material). Then a one-on, two-off hollow tube was constructed out of 10pt board and adhered with PVA.
Binding: The delaminating board was consolidated at the corners using wheat paste. To reattach the vellum at the corners, very dry wheat paste was tried, but that proved too weak, so PVA was used instead.
The vellum at the spine was lifted to prepare for the reback. The book was placed in a press with the boards in position and the extended spine lining pasted down, using strips of mylar to prevent the moisture from reaching the vellum. The new spine was covered with another piece of airplane linen (cut so it would be staggered with the first), and then layers of Japanese tissue, first Sekishu and then Kizukishi, which had been toned using acrylics to match the vellum on the boards. The linen and the tissue were put down with wheat paste.
Pasted new hinges of Sekishu into the inner hinges of both boards.
Finally, the vellum that had been lifted was re-attached using Lascaux.
Photodocumentation: Before, two views of binding, open to front hinge with stuck-in letter. After, two views of binding, open to front hinge, detail of letter.

Hey all,
I've searched, but can't seem to come up with a useful answer to this question:
What, exactly, dictates the rear-derailleur's movement along a cassett or freewheel - spacing-wise?
I have a 6-speed freewheel with 5mm spacing (actually measured at 4.9, but I'll call it 5). I've got a Shimano STX rear derailleur (I'm pretty sure it's 7-speed, but could be 8 "RD-MC30").
I'd like to get a pair of 6-speed indexed clamp-on-stem shifters; I've seen some sunrace 6-speed shifters that claim to work with Shimano stuff.
My real question is which component actually translates to the 5mm spacing that I need? For example, if various-speed derailleurs all move the same distance laterally when the cable is pulled X inches, then the spacing is dictated by the shifters alone. That's what I've been led to believe, which means it doesn't matter which derailleur I use, as long as it's shimano and meets the max-teeth and chain capacity requirements.
So for the short answer, is my setup going to work? For the long answer, spill your guts!
Thanks guys/gals.


text: A handful of years ago, around the time that the economic downturn had reached its low point, Sir Galloway Cleaners owner and founder Mark Mills faced a tough decision with his Miami drycleaning business. In order to stay successful, he reasoned he should focus most of his time and energy on one of two strategies. He should either keep trying to bring in new customers to keep revenue from plummeting or make a concerted effort to go well above and beyond the expectations of existing customers in order to keep as many as possible. He opted for the latter option. "We went the route of taking care of our existing customers by rolling out a program called Beyond," he recalled. "We identified the top 20 percent of our customers by volume and we created a little personalized letter for them that said: 'We want to thank you for your loyalty. We are moving you up on our service level to our Beyond Program, with our compliments. That will entitle you to emergency delivery service. If you're running late and can't get to your drycleaning and need your clothes by tomorrow, call us up and we'll deliver what you need to your house — no charge for the delivery. It's like having a private drycleaner.'" The program, among other things, also implemented a new call ahead service where customers could call on their way to picking up their clothes and the customer service representative would charge them to the credit or debit card on file and have them all ready to go and waiting at the drive-thru for when they arrive. "So, we rolled out that program and that has helped us retain a higher percentage of our customers," Mark added. "We roll out a little appreciation gift every year. Last year was some flowering seeds for their gardens, just more of a 'thank you' for their loyalty. This year, we're rolling out a do-over will be delivered instead of having the customer come back. After all, they came in once to pick it up. They brought it back. We're not going to make them come in again for it." The customer service team also began closely tracking the volume of the Beyond Program clientele to make sure nobody has disappeared. "As soon as they fall out of pattern, we pick up the phone," he noted. "Just the call itself goes a long way in shoring up that relationship." In fact, Mark often uses the phone as a tool to go above and beyond what other cleaners might do and keep his company on the right path. "I make it a policy to reach out to two customers a day," he explained. "I look at a stack of paid invoices and I call two customers a day to thank them for the opportunity to serve them. Then I ask them: how's the customer service?" It's a good way to solicit feedback both positive and negative. He can then relay the information to his CSRs on the things they are doing right and the other things that might need improvement. "I just hung up with a lady this afternoon. She said: 'We used to go to somebody else and the difference is like going from Wal-Mart to Nordstrom's'," he added. "I think that summarizes everything we try to do and be." Not surprisingly, the company's motto is: "The difference is like Knight and Day!" The company has retained much of its original vision when Mark first started it in 1984. At the time, he was working with his father in a tuxedo delivery business that had more than its share of frustrations. "After year after year of trying different cleaners, it just became apparent to me that we better start doing our own drycleaning to control costs, the quality and turnaround time," he recalled. "I mean, after all, a tuxedo has no value if you tell a guy it's going to be ready Monday instead of on Friday or when it was promised for." At age 24, Mark found a business partner and started Sir Galloway Cleaners from scratch. The business was located on Galloway Road, but the "Sir" was added to the name to give the business a more upscale identity. "We were going to be the best drycleaners and, being that we were in Miami, there was a need for that," Mark recalled. "We were just really fortunate to be in an extremely affluent area." The business partnership proved to be short-lived. Within six weeks of opening, Mark bought out his partner. Every two years, he aggressively opened a drop store, careful not to grow faster than he could handle. "We didn't want to lose customers from a quality standpoint because we were growing too fast," he added. "Today, we have six stores, three routes and 75 employees." Catering to people who prefer high scale garments and foster great expectations for how they're cleaned, Mark knows the key to keeping them happy lies in proper employee training. Thus, he has an unusual hiring policy. "Everybody is home grown," he noted. "We will not take on anyone who has experience in our business, whether it is customer service, pressing, drycleaning, wetcleaning… no one. We're going to take it on the chin to get up to speed. We will not let you take on a store without having two months of customer service training. A presser is going to take probably three to six months to get up to par as far as being productive and profitable. But, we'd much rather do that… build a stronger foundation." Building a strong foundation is only the first step, however. The training process is perpetual. "On the customer service side, we have a meeting on Saturday every other month for an hour. We bring in a guest speaker to talk about customer service 101. Every week, we do a 'Thought of the Week' where we might learn from a mistake we made," Mark explained. "On the operations side, we meet every Tuesday with the operations crew and talk about operations 101. There's a lot of repetitive training, but it just never ends." Keeping the company running smoothly isn't the only thing that often occupies Mark's mind; he's also a big advocate of being a responsible cleaner who gives back to his community. Last year, Mark pledged to recycle 100,000 hangers as part of Drycleaning and Laundry Institute's Cleaners Care Hanger Recycling program. The company has also achieved four leaf status at five of its locations through the National Cleaners Association's Green Cleaners Council program since it first joined in May of 2011. More fulfilling, however, is when Sir Galloway teamed up years ago with direct competitors Sudsies Dry Cleaners, Rey's Cleaners and Spots Cleaners to jointly collect about 1,000 pieces of donated clothing each month for the Camillus House in Miami. It was a nice alternative to the typical "Coats for Kids" many cleaners take part in, and far more appropriate since Florida is not known for its frigid winter season. "Now, if you had a Bikini for Kids program, it might do well," he joked. "But, this is a very meaningful way to give back. The homeless need clothes and they get darn good clothing." Another very personal way of giving back has been through the Woody Foundation formed in 2011 after Mark's godson, James "Woody" Beckham, was paralyzed while making a tackle playing rugby for Florida Atlantic University. Mark's son, David, initiated the foundation and its fundraising programs and Mark is a board member. "What happens with the money is we're putting together a backpack for somebody who is newly paralyzed with anything from information about transportation that's provided by the government to devices that sit on their hands so that they can handle a fork or knife or a computer stylus and other things that a person who is newly paralyzed would need," he said. "We're still in the early stages, but it's coming along nicely." The public appreciates such efforts, but it doesn't help a business's bottom line if there is no consistency on the final product. For that, you need employee stability. Fortunately, Sir Galloway enjoys an average employee tenure of 8.5 years. "Our people are everything. You cannot grow a company with high turnover," he emphasized. "We have several employees who have celebrated 20 years with us. Our managers are good listeners and there's a lot of respect. It's like family." Such stability helps Mark back up a lot of bold promises that he first implemented about 15 years ago. It's quite simple, really. If the order is not ready on time, it's free. If customers are not satisfied with the final product, Sir Galloway will be happy to keep trying until they are. The guarantee is similar to many others offered by successful cleaners in the industry, but Mark believes it is more effective because of how it is communicated to customers. "We never use the word 'sorry.' We say, 'I apologize and take full responsibility,'" he emphasized. "We never point fingers at the guys in the back if the order isn't ready." Fortunately, mistakes don't happen often. The company promises "no missing, cracked or loose buttons" as part of a final ten-point inspection process. Sometimes even that final inspection is randomly reinspected. It's a lot of work, but Sir Galloway is willing to charge a commensurate price and the customers are willing to pay it. "There's a drycleaner on every corner and while we cannot compete on their prices, they certainly can't compete on our service," Mark said.

'Riddick' star Vin Diesel says he has been flooded with offers to star in musicals since his karaoke version of Rihanna's 'Stay' became a viral internet hit.
The 46-year-old actor is best known for playing tough guys, but movie executives are now eager to cast him in singing roles, reported Daily Star.
"That was an alternative to sending a Valentine's Day card. When my girlfriend saw it, she said, 'You have to give that to your fans.
"I'd made other videos of me signing on my page before. It was no big deal. When I was singing 'Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire' no one cared. Then a studio called me and said
they wanted me to do a musical," he said.
Diesel, who appears in the macho 'Fast & Furious' franchise, has long lobbied to star in a movie adaptation of Broadway musical 'Guys and Dolls' and hopes producers will cast him now they've heard his singing skills.
"You know how long I've been talking about 'Guys and Dolls'? It's got to happen. Isn't it funny? I do a silly little video and all of a sudden people are like, 'Vin, would you ever consider a musical?' I've been asking to do this for the last 10 years, man," the actor said.

Q: Do I Need a Trust?
A: If you want to have longer-term control over your assets-even after your death-you may want to consider a trust. This can be especially helpful if you have a child with special needs or whom you would not want to have a large sum of money all at once. With a trust, you can help ensure your legacy continues according to your wishes.
Q: Does my estate need to be a certain size for a Trust?
A: No. Trusts are not just for the wealthy. Legal mechanisms in a trust allow you to put conditions on how and when your assets will be distributed. This is especially useful to protect underage children, no matter how well off you may be. Trusts can prevent probate court delays and can protect loved ones from creditors or lawsuits.
Q: What are the Benefits of a Trust
Trusts can have many different uses-and there is no right or wrong type of trust. The one you choose depends on your circumstances and goals, how much control you seek, and your estate-tax strategy. When properly drafted and funded, trusts can:
- Protect your children and grandchildren
- Maintain control of assets long after your death
- Preserve funds for educational expenses
- Hold life insurance proceeds for children or the family business
• Manage income and estate taxes
Generally speaking, trusts give your beneficiaries financial support from your assets, while limiting the amount that can be withdrawn annually, and provide prudent investment management of the inheritance.
Q: What are the types of trusts?
A: The possibilities are nearly endless. The many types of trusts to choose from include:
- marital deduction trusts ("A/B" Trust)
- qualified terminable interest property trusts ("QTIP"),
- bypass or credit shelter trusts
- life insurance trusts ("ILIT")
• special needs trusts

More Information
About the Ticket Supplier: Strangeloop TheatreThough we officially incorporated as Strangeloop Theatre in October of 2008, it was in the early part of that year that a core group of us started meeting up to discuss creating a theatre company we could call home. In June of 2008, we did a one-night staging of __Welcome to the Moon__ (and other plays) by John Patrick Shanley as our first performance, because we could do a collection of short pieces using multiple directors and actors within the group. It was a wonderful first endeavor and helped to further strengthen a sense of community within the group.
That sense of community helped us to grow over the course of our first two years -- staging work that allows a number of voices to participate in the theatrical process. In addition to producing strong work by well-known playwrights, such as Brian Friel's __Living Quarters__, we have also shown a commitment to working with theatre artists of every discipline in the creation of new and original work, including our world-premiere adaptation of Ferdinand Raimund's __The Millionaire Farmer__, our holiday cabaret shows and our short play workshop series, __Loopshop__.
