I am so excited that I've been asked to do a guest post for Providence Ltd. Interior Design's Sunday Supper series. I've prepared a southern appetizer that's popular in shrimp country – Southern Pickled Shrimp for Providence Ltd's Sunday Supper that I know you'll enjoy. Click here. Or printable recipe here.
Just because we all love food on My Carolina Kitchen and that's what we talk about, it doesn't mean we don't care about how our kitchens function or how our dining rooms are designed. Of course we care – there's more to life than just food, right? Right.
Here's a beautiful example of one of Mona & Sister's design projects featured in At Home in Arkansas. Just look at all of the lovely stone and brick and beamed ceilings in this kitchen. My mind is whirling thinking of what delicious dishes that I could whip up here. Have a seat on one of the stools and we'll talk recipes.

A, Not so Dead Deer, Springs From car Trunk
This is a real happy ending story that has gone viral. It's the story of a supposed dead deer, who wasn't.
Our news partner, WZZM TV13, had this story that happened in Kalamazoo.
A Kalamazoo Public Safety Officer, David Miller, approached a suspicious vehicle in a parking lot behind a hotel at about 2 a.m. Tuesday. A Kalamazoo area man was sitting in the vehicle and the officer started talking with him. During the discussion, Miller's attention was drawn to the trunk and the man hit the trunk release and told the officer that he had hit a deer and that the officer would want to check it out.
The man stated he had hit the deer, the deer was deceased and he was going to use the meat from the deer to feed his family.
Officer Miller opened the trunk cautiously, but the "not-so-dead deer, sprung from the trunk and took off into the woods. Check out the video.
There's your happy ending! The deer has not been seen since.

1941 Homecoming
Source: East Carolina Teachers College, The Teco Echo, October 5, 1941.
Staff Person: Kacy Guill
Description: On October 18, 1941, East Carolina Teachers College held their first fall homecoming. Entertainment at the homecoming included a football game between the Pirates of East Carolina and the Catamounts of Western Carolina Teachers College. Plans were also made for "a colorful parade to precede the game, and several extra-curricular organizations are planning to enter floats." This would be the first annual homecoming parade held at ECTC. The following year ECTC made the decision to cancel all homecoming activities until the end of the war. The next homecoming was not held until 1947.

I've been trying to come up with a phrase for the blogging equivalent of shouting till you're blue in the face… typing till you're numb in the fingers? Posting till you're sore in the carpals? In any case, that's how I feel whenever I write about the use of antibiotics in animal agriculture. The issue (and I'm mustering extreme willpower to refrain from typing all in caps) is this: US industrial livestock producers administer huge quantities of antibiotics to farm animals for nontherapeutic purposes, which promotes the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, reducing the effectiveness of medicines used to treat human illness.
In short, the industrial livestock sector's use of antibiotics is completely irresponsible – and it's totally insane that regulations have not been created to prevent this public health threat.
Industrial livestock producers regularly administer subtherapeutic doses to healthy animals in order to promote growth and prevent disease (since factory farms confine so many animals in cramped, stressful, squalid conditions, disease spreads easily; antibiotics help mitigate the impact).
Last week, Center for Science in the Public Interest, the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future, Representative Louise Slaughter and Senator Dianne Feinstein hosted a congressional briefing to emphasize this point. Aptly titled The Science Is Clear: Inappropriate Antibiotic Use in Animal Agriculture Threatens Public Health, the event involved a series of presentations by Dr. James Johnson (University of Minnesota), Dr. Robert Lawrence (Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future), Dr. Stuart Levy (Tufts University, Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics), Dr. Lance Price (Translational Genomics Research Institute's Center for Microbiomics and Human Health) and Dr. Tara Smith (University of Iowa).
Clearly, the panel wasn't composed of a bunch of slippery lobbyists pitching self-serving policy or smarmy marketers covertly promoting soy burgers; the presenters were all Very Serious Scientists who, collectively, have spent more than half a century studying the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance. It was alarming therefore, that these experts stated unequivocally that the misuse of antibiotics by the livestock industry poses a significant threat to public health – and that the government has ignored (and continues to ignore) this threat despite consensus of the scientific community and the ever-growing body of peer-reviewed research that demonstrates the danger.
As underscored by the panelists, antibiotic resistance isn't a new problem; scientists have been cautioning against misuse of antibiotics for decades. Dr. Levy, for instance, has been sounding the alarm for more than 30 years (he founded Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics in 1981). In fact, as Dr. Lawrence pointed out, Alexander Fleming, who received the Nobel Prize for discovering the antibiotic penicillin, included this cautionary statement in his Nobel lecture:
The time may come when penicillin can be bought by anyone in the shops. Then there is the danger that the ignorant man may easily underdose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant.
That was back in 1945. So really, the risk of antibiotic-resistance isn't a newly discovered or poorly understood phenomenon, it's just a threat that the industrial livestock sector has chosen to ignore (though – as any parent whose child has recurring ear infections will tell you, family physicians take it quite seriously).
In keeping with its usual approach to public health issues, when it comes to antibiotics, Big Ag throws caution to the wind. Instead of reserving these drugs for the treatment of sick animals, industrial livestock producers regularly administer subtherapeutic doses to healthy animals in order to promote growth (antibiotics make the animals grow slightly faster, which allows them to be raised in less time with less feed, thereby reducing costs for the producer), and to prevent disease (since factory farms confine so many animals in cramped, stressful, squalid conditions, disease spreads easily; antibiotics help mitigate the impact).
We're not talking about small quantities of antibiotics either; as the FDA acknowledged last year, 80% of all antimicrobials sold in the US are administered to farm animals – about 23 million pounds annually. The results aren't surprising; this misuse of antibiotics has induced the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. As Dr. Smith noted in her presentation, factory farms serve as giant Petri dishes, allowing antibiotic-resistant bacteria to easily spread among animals and workers (and back and forth between these populations). Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are also found in animal manure, which, thanks to poor waste management practices, causes contamination of air, water and soil.
Since contaminated water and manure can be spread on crops, and since industrial slaughterhouses are notoriously ineffectual when it comes to keeping feces off of meat, antibiotic-resistant bacteria end up in our food supply as well. A CSPI white paper released in conjunction with the briefing identified three major outbreaks of antibiotic-resistant foodborne illness in 2011, which caused 167 illnesses, 47 hospitalizations and one death (note that these figures reflect only reported cases in which bacteria were tested for resistance).
It's important to understand though, that the misuse of antibiotics by industrial livestock producers affects our entire society – not only those who eat meat or fail to thoroughly wash their vegetables (vegetarians, take heed – we're talking to you, too). Once antibiotic-resistant bacteria develop, they can spread, causing humans to develop illnesses that are more difficult and more expensive to treat. In an increasingly frequent number of cases, these illnesses result in death.
It's foolish and irresponsible to use antibiotics improperly, and it's completely inexcusable to use these drugs in the reckless manner that has come to be standard procedure on factory farms. Of course, when it comes to industrial livestock production, there's never a dearth of public health or food safety concerns (pink slime, anyone?) – but somehow, the misuse of antibiotics is repeatedly overlooked.
Fortunately, scientists, health professionals and advocates continue to demand regulation. And while most congressional representatives ignore the threat of antibiotic resistance, a few recognize its significance. Representative Slaughter, for instance (who, incidentally, is the only microbiologist in Congress), tirelessly continues to introduce the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act (PAMTA), which would prohibit medically important antibiotics from being administered to farm animals for nontherapeutic purposes.
Before the panel presentation, Slaughter concluded her introductory remarks by declaring, "the media owes it to the world to put the spotlight on antibiotics." At Ecocentric, we couldn't agree more – rest assured that until a responsible antibiotics policy is enacted, we'll keep typing about this issue with blue faces, numb fingers and sore carpals.

Ford Motor Co.'s fourth quarter was better than Wall Street expected, powered by strength in North America and Asia while the company continued to make progress reining in losses in Europe.
Adjusted earnings of 31 cents a share came in 3 cents above forecasts, while Ford\'s full-year 2013 profit of $8.6 billion (up $603 million from 2012) put an exclamation point at the end of one of the company's most profitable years ever.
But the report also flags why it\'s unlikely to repeat that performance in 2014.
Here's Ford's summary of its automotive outlook:
"For Ford's financial metrics, which are now aligned to the key drivers of total shareholder return, Ford expects Automotive revenue in 2014 to be about the same as 2013, Automotive operating margin to be lower, and Automotive operating-related cash flow to be positive but substantially lower than 2013, including higher capital spending consistent with Ford's mid-decade outlook of about $7.5 billion."
Much of this is tied to Ford's ambitious plan to launch 16 new products this year.
The model under closest scrutiny is Ford's 2015 F-150 pickup, which despite overwhelmingly positive reviews from the automotive press, has some on Wall Street second-guessing Ford's decision to tamper with its best-selling vehicle. The main worry is the cost of retooling and retraining to make the aluminum-bodied F-150.
Ford is betting big on this one. According to the company, aluminum body panels reduce the truck\'s weight by 700 pounds, giving a boost to its performance in the process. And Ford sees this as the first step in the transition to aluminum-bodied cars across its product line. This would put Ford out in front of the competition, but that's only a good place to be if the public likes what they see.
Ford\'s convinced consumers will embrace the F-150's improved mileage, though just how much better that mileage is has yet to be independently confirmed. Meanwhile, investors are hoping the F-150 isn't so radically redesigned that it scares off loyal "Ford tough" pickup fans and that higher production costs don't cannibalize what for years has been one of the best margins on any Ford vehicle.
Pensions are another hurdle. Ford said it ended 2013 with its worldwide pension plans underfunded by $9 billion. That's down from $10 billion a year ago, thanks to higher discount rates and cash contributions. But the company still has a long way to go to get that monkey off its back, and it said it plans to make only $1.5 billion, mostly mandatory cash contributions to the plans in 2014, a big drop from $5 billion in 2013.
Another concern is Latin America, which saw a loss this past quarter of $126 million. Some of this stems from production downtime in Brazil as plants there gear up for the new 2014 models, and some stems from Venezuela's currency devaluation, which forced Ford to write down cash assets in the region. Ford said it expects to take a $350 million hit in the first quarter linked to Venezuela's devaluation.
Ford Motor Credit Co. also turned in a weaker fourth-quarter performance. Its pre-tax profit fell $46 million to $355 million from $419 million a year ago. The company pinned the decline on "unfavorable residual performance related to lower auction values and lower financing margin." It also left its Ford Motor Credit 2014 profit outlook essentially unchanged.
Ford is fully aware 2014 will be challenging. Model launches are expensive and competition for market share has intensified pricing pressure, hence the abundance of caution.
Broken down by region, Ford said its 2014 automotive results will be less than the $8.78 billion it earned this past year in North America while it expects to continue to narrow its $1.61 billion loss in Europe. It is looking to break even this year in the Middle East and Africa, match its $415 million 2013 earnings in Asia, and lose about $34 million again this year in South America.

A consultant is an experienced individual in a given field who provides expert advice for a fee. Consultants typically work as independent contractors and are hired on a short-term basisCasual 5 Thickening Size Size 3 Warm Snow Gray Boots Shoes Feifei UK6 Multiple Colors Men's EU39 Choice CN40 Keep Color Fashion wxHq1XwgY. A consultant may also be an employee at a consulting firm.
Consultants are often hired to help troubleshoot problems in complex systems, including the human body. Because a consultant performs in an advisory capacity and is not responsible for the end result, he or she has the freedom to identify problems and propose solutions that an internal source might be reluctant to advance.
Management and strategy consultants may be generalists, providing expert advice for a fairly wide range of business concerns. They may focus on business process reengineering, working with line-of-business and/or mid-level managers to implement a new process or revise a current process to get things running smoothly again. More typically, however, a consultant provides expertise in a highly targeted area, one in which it would it would be impractical or too costly to hire someone as a full-time employee.
Types of information technology (IT) consultants
IT consultants help individuals or businesses make technology purchase or strategy decisions and resolve technology challenges. A consultant may serve as a short-term virtual CIO, providing expert advice on IT strategy to a company that lacks high-level IT expertise in house.
Today, IT consultants often work for value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators and other service providers that offer consulting services within a broader portfolio of offerings. An enterprise deploying a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system may opt to hire a consultant recommended by their vendor, rather than train employees in-house or hire new employees who would become surplus to requirements once the system is installed.
VARs sometimes partner with consultants in a sales engineering capacity. Such a consultant examines the client's immediate business or technology needs and recommends products, services, or other IT solutions that can address those needs. Similarly, systems integrators may rely on IT consultants to assess a client's business and technology challenges, identify opportunities for process optimization and suggest ways technology can support the organization's business objectives.
Managed service providers (MSPs) may use consultants to work with customers who need to create an IT plan or manage technology refreshment projects. MSPs are often founded by technicians and engineers, so the consulting approach helps them bridge the gap between their technical services and their often non-technical customers. Many MSP clients are small businesses that lack an IT department.
Consultants focused on cloud computing help clients define their requirements, select public cloud services, build private clouds and manage data and application migration. They may also help create cloud governance strategies that aim to keep cloud costs in check and help organizations get the most value out of the cloud investments. With cloud consulting, specializations occur within the cloud specialization. A consulting firm may specialize in a particular cloud platform such as Salesforce, ServiceNow or Workday.
Other popular areas of expertise include IT Womens Boots MICROFIBR Lotus Dress GREY BLACK Ankle Cassia 5xwRw8Pg, information governance and e-discovery and compliance. Consultants in these areas of expertise may be hired to assess an organization's security risks, identify vulnerabilities and recommend remediation strategies, help clients comply with government regulations and mitigate risk.

Roasted chicken with curry rub
In order to make that salad, however, I needed half of a curry-roasted chicken. That's why we had roasted chicken with curry rub for dinner on Friday night. Easy-peasy..
Note that I didn't baste the chicken with any liquid during roasting, nor is there any fat as such (no oil, no butter) in the marinade - indeed, it's practically a fat-free marinade. Yet the resulting chicken was moist and succulent.
Roasted chicken with curry rub
Adapted from Woman's Day Magazine, April 2000
3-4 pound roasting chicken, giblets (if any) removed
Curry rub:
2 Tbsp curry powder
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp freshly ground cumin seeds
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 lemon, halved
4 Tbsp sour cream or plain yogurt
Rinse the chicken under the cold water (Delicious Days had recently an interesting post about the pros and cons of washing meat - check it out!). Dry thoroughly with a kitchen paper, as otherwise the rub won't stick. Place on a roasting tray.
Prepare the curry rub. Mix curry powder, salt, ginger and cumin seeds, add crushed garlic cloves, about 2 Tbsp of lemon juice and the sour cream or yogurt, so you'll get a thick paste.
Put lemon halves into the body cavity of the chicken.
'Massage' the curry paste all over the chicken, so it would be well covered.
Place the roasting tray into the lower part of a pre-heated oven and roast at 180C for about an hour.
To test if the chicken is cooked, insert a sharp knife into the thickest part of the thigh and check that the meat juice runs clear and not pink (if it's still pink, put into the oven for another 10 minutes and test again).
Take the chicken out of the oven, and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
Serve with rice and cooked green vegetables.

Terve broiler on ühele/kahele vast korraga liig, aga ma kindlasti proovin midagi analoogset koibade-kintsudega - see maitseainekombinatsioon tundub sümpaatne.
Aga liha pesemisest... ei pese ja ilmselt ei hakka ka pesema. Nii vana liha, et lõhna oleks vaja eemaldada, ei tarvita, lihamahlad kuivatan paberkäterätiga, ja seda tean ka raudpoltkindlalt, et vesi ei eemalda baktereid - aga kana korralik küpsetamine (72 kaadi need pahalased vist hävisid) saab Salmonellast jagu küll.

It's been a long time since I did a whole roast chicken. Your post has made me quite fancy one though - prepared in an original way such as this.

I've been thinking of doing something similar with a duck... are decent whole chickens as expensive with you as they are in the UK? (Talking Waitrose, organic or cornfed, free range etc)

I agree with Scott at Real Epicurean ...
"a long time since I did a whole roast chicken".
Buying a whole chicken is much cheaper than buying individual cuts. At least in Sweden. But chicken wings, legs and breasts are often offered at special price.

Thredahlia - mina ei pese ka üldiselt liha, aga kana lasen mõnikord külma vee alt läbi. Ei teagi miks.. Aga see DeliciousDays vestlus oli lahe lugeda - nii metsikult palju eri arvamusi!!
Anonüümne - tore, et meeldib! Ja nüüd on ka eestikeelne link lisatud.
Scott - same here. I had forgotten how effortless and satisfying a roasted chicken can be!
Andrew - I think the rub is potent enough to go with a duck. Re: decent whole organic/cornfed/free range chickens. We're light years behind Waitrose in that matter, I'm afraid. When I got back in October, the (supposedly best) supermarket had 10 types of eggs on sale, yet none of them were free range or even barn eggs!! The salesperson gave me a blank look when I asked after some! We managed to source some from a small organic shop. Now, 5 months later, you can buy those "Kikerikii" eggs (I love the name:) from the shop in question as well. I'd love to think it was my request that initiated it:)
Karin - another problem here is that supermarkets tend to sell ready-seasoned chicken bits and pieces (or seasoned whole chickens) more agressively, as that is more profitable than a plain whole chicken. We needed a plain whole chicken a few months ago, and had to look in several shops before we found one!!

Nothing like a good massage to make a wonderful roast chicken, your rub sounds really tasty.
Funny waht you say about whole chicken. In France they are usually cheaper than chicken pieces and very easy to find.

Sounds very fabulous. I love the idea that there's no added fat too, and curry with chicken is one of my favorite combinations. Saved!

Anonüümne - võta heaks:)
Gracianne - a whole chicken is cheaper per weight to buy than pieces here, too. But they're harder to find occasionally for some reason, whereas you can find plenty of pre-seasoned whole chickens!?

I'm making this tonight, thanks for the help. The whole chicken I bought cost me five Canadian dollars. I think this is good value as it will serve for lunch meat and soup next day too.

OMG! I just found this recipe and tried it out....what an awesome gastronomic experience! I actually rubbed the chicken in the morning and let it sit all day until I roasted it and I think it marinated nicely. I fed it to my extremely picky brother and he loved it....I will make this again and again and again!

I made this roast chicken last week and am making it again tonight. I followed the recipe exactly and it was amazing. I added sliced sweet potatoes and onions coated with some extra virgin olive oil and garam masala powder to the bottom of the pan. It was amazing. The leftover chicken was used to make curry chicken salad for lunches for the week. Thank you!

Jets running back Mike Goodson faces gun and drug charges that could, under the weapons portion of the case, put him behind bars for a mandatory minimum sentence of three years.
For the Jets, the challenge becomes what to do with Goodson while the court process plays itself out.
On Monday, owner Woody Johnson tiptoed around the crux of the problem. If they cut Goodson now, he walks away with a $1 million signing bonus that can't be recovered. They can get some of the money back, and in turn can obtain cap relief, only if they let the process play out.
The key date in the process comes on June 12, when Goodson will have a pre-trial hearing. As pointed out by Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, that falls in the middle of the team's mandatory minicamp. If Goodson misses practice to attend the hearing, the Jets could penalize Goodson, at a minimum with a fine.
The problem for the Jets would be the plain language of Article 4, Section 9 of the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement. While the revised terms expand the situations in which all or a portion of a player's signing bonus can be recovered, the provision makes no reference to partial reimbursement arising from a missed mandatory minicamp practice. Instead, the forfeiture process begins in training camp, and applies more forcefully in the regular season.
But the Jets can't recover money from Goodson unless he's still on the roster. That's why the Falcons never released Mike Vick after he was incarcerated for dogfighting in 2007; to recover bonus money paid to Vick (and to get the cap credit that goes along with it), the Falcons had to hold their nose and refrain from cutting Vick.
For the Jets, the far better approach to the Goodson conundrum would be to stop channeling Clark Kent and explain in blunt, candid terms that there's only one way to make a player answer financially for off-field misconduct — by keeping him on the roster while the legal process unfolds.
Of course, that kind of candor could open the Jets up to criticism that they're more concerned about money than doing the right thing. But if the plan will be to keep Goodson around in order to eventually recover money from him, why not remove the confusion regarding the reason for not cutting him loose?

This pic -- obtained by BigGovernment.com -- was allegedly sent on May 20 of this year to a woman from Weiner's Yahoo email address.
According to BigGov, Weiner apparently used the account to store many other personal photos of himself -- thus suggesting the shirtless photo is him.
Weinergate exploded last month after a Twitter pic was leaked, showing a man with a bulge in his underwear. Weiner has hedged, saying he can't say for sure it's him, but claims he never sent the pic to anyone and his account was hacked.

Read the Bronco volleyball players thoughts below ...
Click here for information on the Fourth Annual Walk 4 Pancreatic Cancer
Release on last year's Santa Clara Walk 4 Pancreatic Cancer and Photo Gallery
On May 12, TOMORROW, SATURDAY!, the Santa Clara volleyball team, along with the Bronco Athletic Department, will host the fourth annual Walk 4 Pancreatic Cancer on the beautiful Santa Clara University campus. Last year's event - which featured the Bronco volleyball, women's golf and men's and women's basketball teams - was bigger and better than ever and this year we need your participation even more.
You can register now! Register Today! The walk is tomorrow, Sat., May 12!
One note: For those who have registered and for those who are registering Saturday, W4PC will meet at the atrium of the University's Library. The Leavey parking for those who have parked there before is being used for an event in the Athletic Center.
**Please park in the main parking structure on Palm Drive.
** Parking is free. To get there, enter the Main SCU entrance located at 500 El Camino Real continue past the kiosk and enter the parking structure located just past Buck Shaw Stadium on the left. Walk to the south end where you will see stairs and an elevator. On the bottom floor signs will be directing you to the W4PC gathering site.
If you gps 500 El Camino Real and enlarge it you will see the University Library. It is directly across from the Multicultural/Benson Center.
For those of you needing directions to the University here is the link.
See you Saturday. Check in starts at 7:45a.m.
The event has raised more than $53,000 the last three years. All proceeds will benefit the Pancreas Cancer Program at UCSF - an organization which is doing great work fighting this very debilitating condition.
In addition to the walkers, Dr. Tempero of UCSF will be the special guest speaker at this year's walk. Please click here for her bio.
"We hope you make plans to walk with us alongside family and friends while supporting this extremely worthwhile cause," said Bronco volleyball coach Jon Wallace.
The Bronco volleyball team, through the Walk 4 Pancreatic Cancer and Dig Pink, has raised more than $71,500 for cancer research and support for cancer patients over the last five years.
"We are proud of the money we have been able to help raise. It is going to a very worthy cause, a very needed cause. The team really rallies around the Walk 4 Pancreatic Cancer, a lot of the parents come in town for it. It's one of our core values - it's about supporting things in the community that are bigger than volleyball," added Wallace. "The money raised is almost as important as the awareness we want to bring to the community. Please come out and walk on May 12. If you can't walk, then please make a donation on the website in kind." (click here to do so: Fourth Annual Walk 4 Pancreatic Cancer)
Nearly ever walker in the last three years has been impacted in some manner by pancreatic cancer, be it a friend, a relative or acquaintance. As you probably know, this cancer claimed two of Santa Clara's brightest lights - Abby Sobrato '83 and Father Paul Locatelli.
You may wish to walk in their memory or that of someone else close to you.
Whatever your motivation we hope that you will join us.

7:45 a.m., Registration, In Front of the Library on Campus
8:30 a.m., 10K Walk
Santa Clara's Volleyball Players Talk About the Pancreatic Cancer Walk
"The Pancreatic Cancer walk is extremely important to our team, because we are working for a great cause. We walk to make a difference and show our Bronco Spirit," said rising senior Kayla Lommori. "I get a sense of appreciation for all of the people who choose to take part in the walk and who are willing to give to others.
"I have lost a couple of close friends and my grandmother to cancer," continued Lommori. "Cancer is evil and does not discriminate against anyone. I am so grateful that there are people who are passionate about potentially saving a life. I will be walking for Josh Farler, Sean Kelly, and my Grandma."
"Cancer, whether its pancreatic or any other type, affects everyone in some way and unfortunately, there is no way to escape this reality. The walk shows our families, school, and community that we care about those who are affected by cancer and to show that we care, we are proactive towards increasing awareness and raising money to help those who suffer from cancer," said rising senior Lexi Williamson. "The past two years of participating in the walk has increased my awareness towards those who suffer from pancreatic cancer. The participants of the walk most likely are walking for someone they know who has passed or is suffering due to this cancer. To see the love, support, and energy these people bring to the walk is truly inspiring."
"I have never been personally affected by cancer and I thank God everyday for my good health," said Williamson. "I am proud to say that my grandmother (Lisa Carniello) defeated breast cancer, but sadly her sister (Jenny Cerisara) just recently passed due to breast cancer. My grandfather (Richard Carniello) has also defeated cancer. My other grandfather (Fred Williamson) passed due to a blood disease. These are all the people I will be walking for!!"
"The walk is very important to our team because pancreatic cancer is one to the leading death among cancer diseases today. Not only is the walk enjoyable for ourselves, family, and friends, but it also allows us to participate, and come together to give back to the community in supporting a great cause," said rising junior Katherine Douglas. "As a team, we get the satisfaction and pride in being a part of the process to help end pancreatic cancer. We also become more educated about the severity of pancreatic cancer and how it has affected so many lives. "
"Although I personally don't know of many people who have been affected by pancreatic cancer, this walk is particularly special to our team because our coach's relative (I believe Nancy's grandfather) died of the cancer many years ago," added Douglas.

Well, what do you know? The Mets found something wrong with Oliver Perez. A MRI revealed patella tendonitis of his right knee.
So, Perez was placed on the disabled list which conveniently allows the Mets room to recall Jon Niese to make this afternoon's start against the Florida Marlins.
Niese strained his surgically-repaired hamstring, May 16, in a loss at Florida. Niese (1-2, 4.79) is 0-2 a 5.63 ERA in two starts lifetime against the Marlins.

Good morning.
The U.S. government's move on Tuesday to unload its remaining stake in insurer AIG takes center stage, while Google's suspect tax maneuverings is pushing the company into the spotlight.
Elsewhere, Europe looks to have moved past Italy's political circus to post some gains. A surprising swing in sentiment in Germany isn't hurting.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., the Fed kicks off its closely-watched, two-day meeting, just as one gauge (see below) shows the financial blogosphere turning less bullish on the market's prospects in the final weeks of the year.
Investors also seem to be keying on the potential for gold miners, while those in the Philippines could have reacted to the Pacquiao beatdown by selling off an ETF. One fallen hero may have hurt his local market, but another just might have helped his. Check out this gem on StockTwits, making the case for the impact "Gangnam Style" has had on the South Korea Index fund /quotes/zigman/22227 /quotes/nls/ewy EWY .
Key market gauges: German investor sentiment notched an unexpected jump in December, blowing past analyst expectations by rising to a 6.9 reading vs. a negative 15.7 reading in the prior month. Germany's DAX /quotes/zigman/2380246 DX:DAX is up almost 1% to pace broad gains in Europe /quotes/zigman/2380150 XX:SXXP . Check out more on Europe markets.
Futures on the Dow /quotes/zigman/8750714 DJZ2 and the S&P /quotes/zigman/3102232 SPZ2 are both up fractionally. Read: Stock futures edge higher as traders eye Fed.
Also, Exxon Mobil's /quotes/zigman/203975 /quotes/nls/xom XOM long-term energy outlook is set to be released today, and the oil giant, echoing a similar call by the EIA, is predicting North America will become a net energy exporter by 2025.
The economy: In addition to the Fed meeting, we get a look at October trade deficit and wholesale inventories numbers. The NFIB November Small Business Optimism reading plunged 5.6 points to 87.5. "Between the looming 'fiscal cliff,' the promise of higher health-care costs and the endless onslaught of new regulation, owners have found themselves in a state of pessimism," NFIB chief economist Bill Dunkelberg said. See: Fed to do what it can to ease cliff uncertainty.
The buzz: Bloggers turned more bearish on the markets this week, though a weekly survey still shows bullish sentiment at 46% compared with bearish sentiment of 29%, according to the TickerSense blog. The rest is neutral. Last week, the survey was 57% bullish and 21% bearish.
Today's top-trending tickers: Google /quotes/zigman/93888 /quotes/nls/goog GOOG , catching flack for its tax antics. AIG /quotes/zigman/557836 /quotes/nls/aig AIG , gaining in the premarket on word of the government sale. And the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF /quotes/zigman/420125 /quotes/nls/gdx GDX , pointed out by MarketWatch contributor Michael Gayed on Monday as a vehicle worth watching.
Also, keep an eye on CombiMatrix /quotes/zigman/13057100 /quotes/nls/cbmx CBMX , which saw its stock soar 20% yesterday and follow up in the after-hours session with a 1.5% gain. Message volume on StockTwits has exploded by 19,000% in the past week. The stock, however, is off 4% in premarket trading.
The chart of the day: An illustration of how "Marissa Mayer is beating Google," borrowed from Business Insider. "In the grand scheme of things, Google is crushing Yahoo /quotes/zigman/59898 /quotes/nls/yhoo YHOO with bigger revenues and profits," writes Jay Yarow. "But like we said, it's a small victory and when you're trying to turn around a web company you'll take all the victories you can get."
The call of the day: Nvidia /quotes/zigman/80597 /quotes/nls/nvda NVDA is ripe for a takeover. According to this post from Helix Investment Management, the stock has been mispriced for too long and it's "too tempting to pass up." Wall Street remains skeptical, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. Potential suitors pointed out in the post include private equity, Intel /quotes/zigman/20392 /quotes/nls/intc INTC , Qualcomm /quotes/zigman/77257 /quotes/nls/qcom QCOM and even Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL .
Random reads: Google is holding about $10 billion in revenue — double the total from three years ago — in a Bermuda shell company, avoiding some $2 billion in worldwide income taxes last year. One accountant in England told Bloomberg the company's tax strategy is a "deep embarrassment."
The iShares MSCI Philippines Investable Market Index Fund /quotes/zigman/1554532 /quotes/nls/ephe EPHE took a hit on Monday. Maybe because it's letting off steam after a big rally. Or perhaps the typhoon is to blame. Or is it because Manny Pacquiao nearly had his moustache knocked off? Read: Pacquiao loss could be hampering Philippines ETF.
CEOs of smaller, fast-growth companies are 13 times more likely to be active on Twitter than their Fortune 500 CEO peers and 5.3 times more likely to be on Facebook /quotes/zigman/9962609 /quotes/nls/fb FB . The gap is "quite shocking," and its handicapping the big guys "when it comes to agility and growth," according to Domo's Josh James.

The Energy Star Solid-State Lighting program is now effective. On September 23, New York-based Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) formally adopted LM-80-2008, "Approved Method for Measuring Lumen Depreciation of LED Light Sources." With the approval of LM-80, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has in place all of the industry-recognized test procedures needed for qualifying products as Energy Star rated.
The next step for DOE is to help manufacturers get Energy Star qualified products to market, according to Richard H. Karney, P.E., DOE Energy Star Products Manager. To help manufacturers navigate the qualification process, DOE has created the "Manufacturer's Guide for Qualifying Solid-State Lighting Luminaires." This document outlines the performance benchmarks that Energy Star-qualified products must meet, identifies testing facilities approved to conduct Energy Star testing, and establishes the protocols manufacturers must follow to submit this information for approval. This document is designed to complement the Energy Star SSL Criteria version 1.0. In the future, the manufacturer's guide will be updated to reflect the expansion and evolution of the Energy Star SSL program.

Mycobacterium ulcerans is a bacterium, which causes an ulcerative skin disease, known as Buruli ulcer. The mode of transmission of the infection to humans is unknown, although there is some evidence that it may be transmitted through the bites of infected aquatic insects. Buruli ulcer often starts as painless nodules, usually on the arms or legs. These then develop into large ulcers, with a whitish-yellowish base. Although most ulcers eventually heal, poorly managed patients may develop severe scars and local deformities, including disabling contractures. The disease occurs most frequently in children living in rural tropical environments, near wetlands. It can be treated with antibiotics and surgery.

I normally don't like doing this, but i am going to quote a weblog article by someone else. This was a comment on Martin Beek' s blog article about a Canon Picture Style that i found specially interesting:
I personally have stopped using it (HTP) because it produces vertical banding noise (pattern noise) with almost any ISO number, under some specific conditions. Philip Bloom also reports that he stopped using it. Probably because it produces unpredictable results that are not easy to detect on-set.
HTP further limits your ISO range and gives you an extra amount of noise. Remember than Highlight Tone Priority (HTP) is essentially underexposing all your photos by 1 stop. ISO 200 with HTP is essentially an underexposed ISO 100 RAW data pushed up to look like ISO 200. That's how it preserve highlights. You're essentially pushing an underexposed ISO 100 RAW to look like ISO 250 in that image (since you raised exposure in ACR another +1/3 stop).
I personally don't use HTP as said, but i follow another rule of thumb as an alternative, specially for commercial work that doesn't allow for experimenting:
1 – use ISO 160, 320, 640, 1250 and 2500 for low contrast / low light shots
2 – use ISO 200, 250, 400, 500, etc. (ISO 100 and 125 are on their own) for well lit / high contrast shots
1, because the broken ISOs have considerably less noise, but also have less latitude (highlights clip at raw 12650)
2, because the whole ISOs have more noise, but retain highlights much better (highlights clip at raw 15300)
Together with Marvels Cine 3.3 this will make your day…
I think that Martin is mostly right, although i have to look up and compare the numbers he quotes. I must add one important remark: this is typically targeted towards shooting video, not RAW photography.

BlizzCon 2013 to End with Blink-182 Concert
After you hear all of the big news at BlizzCon 2013, you can celebrate all the small things with a closing ceremony concert by Blink-182.
Blizzard Entertainment's BlizzCon 2013 will be two days of celebration centered around the Warcraft, StarCraft and Diablo game universes. To end the weekend of geeky revelry, Blizzard has snagged SoCal punk trio Blink-182. What better way to end a game show than with a rock show?
Mike Morhaime, CEO and co-founder of Blizzard Entertainment, said, "After two days of hard work watching games and playing games and talking about games, we can't think of a better way to kick back and relax than to have your face melted by Blink-182. We're thrilled to have such an awesome band helping us bring BlizzCon to an epic conclusion."
Tom DeLonge, Blink-182 guitarist and vocalist, said, "Our roots are in Southern California, so playing at BlizzCon will be like having a show in our own backyard—only with a couple thousand more orcs and elves in loincloths and bikini armor."
Though folk will be in costume (or various states of undress because of their costumes), and having fun, I think it's safe to say that Mark, Tom and Travis won't be running through the streets naked. Well, we'll see.
Even if you weren't lucky enough to grab a ticket for the convention, you can still catch all of the action with a BlizzCon Virtual Ticket. BlizzCon will take place Nov. 8-9.

JUST DENNIS: Those who changed things and made the Creole/Kweyol differenceDennis Joseph - Thursday, October 24th, 2013 at 11:45 AM
One of my favourite songs from the group Kassav is Tim Tim Bwa Sek which speaks of a lost tradition of days gone when older people would relate stories of things that happened and the moral of those stories to their children, grandchildren and younger folk and the song urges a need to restart this great tradition.
If older Labourites had passed on the ideals of the Labour Party and its sufferings to their children then Savarin could never have been appointed president of Waitikubuli by the Labour Party. They would cringe to know that he is awarded the Medal of Honour to place in his record. But then that is just me an old Labourite remembering the time of the pain and struggle and I am sure you will say it is the pain speaking. In Waitikubuli we the people are not big on our history. Commonly you hear, "Oh that is past tense let's forget that." We should learn from the great nations of the world who never forget their history. The two sets of words used repeated by the Jews are, "Never again," and "Lest we forget," referring to the holocaust when Hitler slaughtered millions of them. In the cities and towns of the great nations you observe their history in their monuments, museums, artistry, architecture, TV programs and in their commemorations going back centuries. There is even a dedicated expensive History Channel on cable TV.
We still do not understand that it is the past that creates the present and the future. If we did we certainly would not accept that excuse for an Edward Leblanc monument with a nearly invisible teeny- weenie photo of the man stuck on hurriedly plunked down in front of the Mahaut toilet restroom the day before the opening of the rehabilitated road renamed the Edward Leblanc Highway and then about turn to lift up Charles Savarin who did his best to destroy Leblanc's work and his Labour Party. But then who cares? Certainly not those who struggled with him and benefitted from his struggle as they mostly remain mute and some even support what is happening.
In writing this column I try to take the opportunity as often as I can to take you back even way back because if you believe in Waitikubuli then you must know her as a wife knows her husband and he knows her the same. How did she come to be what she is? That is why whenever the Creole season comes around I try to take you back to the time when it was not like it is today, when creole was simply called 'patwa' a bad word to some yet the means of communication to so many of the rural folk and this is the past which has led to the music we celebrate in the present. If you can bear to read something twice the length of my usual presentations read on but if not stop here for it is folly to just taste the water because, 'A little learning is a dangerous thing drink deep or taste not the Pierian Spring."(Alexander Pope) After that then it is your turn to comment for or against, nicely or fiercely as you will for we live in changing times.
Some say Kweyol music others say daintily Creole music but however your tongue rolls it is our music. Music which is part of mass culture has been divided into two main spheres-popular music (Pop) and standard music. In Waitikubuli we have added creole music in which we are able to fuse all West Indian music into one, in other words the 'Creolisation" of various types of indigenous music. Such was the case with Cadence-lypso a product of the band Exile One.
French creole or 'patwa' as it was first called was for many years the language of the farming community who were called then, "country bookie," and was severely rejected by mainstream society. There were some who worked to keep the language alive in song and dance. In that regard the work of the late Mabel 'Cissie' Caudieron in the 40's and 50's is well documented though hardly ever remembered during the creole activities. The struggle of Edward Leblanc whose attempts were ridiculed by the Roseau crew when he introduced the national cultural gala during the National celebrations was a huge stride forward in keeping the creole alive. Edward Leblanc therefore began the movement that started the change of the negative thinking of our people toward our cultural heritage yet it was not remotely easy as ridicule and derision was heaped on his efforts by those who saw 'patwa' as the language of the uneducated and illiterate to be banned forever.
However the contemporary Creole movement possibly truly began in late 1975 when amid much protest the Creole tongue was introduced as part of the regular programming at DBS.
It happened this way:
In August of 1975 I was asked to take over the management of the station. I had the name changed from Radio Dominica to Dominica Broadcasting Service –DBS Radio and decided that if we would change the name we should also change the programming so I had the station off the air for reorganization for a full week when only news was broadcast at noon. I was amazed when going through the old logs that I could not find any reference to anything creole or 'patwa' as it was then called. I felt that was a huge omission especially as I had just come in from managing the Gaylords Power Union, a band which promoted and recorded 'patwa' songs around the world and also
I enjoyed the music of the Siffleur Montagne a singing group led by Jean Lawrence who also promoted 'patwa' songs. I discussed this with my assistant the great broadcaster Alvin Knight who had been there for years before I became Manager and he vigorously supported the effort but we both knew what would be coming at us from the 'patwa' haters. I decided to do some piloting on a Friday evening with Tim Durand who had volunteered. He was later assisted by Ferdinand Frampton who surprised us all as we did not know that he was such a 'patwa man' with a great style and so with Tim's consent he eventually took over the program. There was a firestorm as the 'patwa' haters ranted and raved. I recall one particular caller who many years later apologized to me suggesting that I should be hanged in the market square for, "Spoiling the minds of the youth with 'patwa and Cadence on radio."
DBS pressed on nonetheless and over the years has brought forward such stars as one of my best finds Felix Henderson, and Leroy Wadico Charles now also the female voice is added –Kaywana Fontaine who has more possibilities than even she knows. Today when suddenly everybody loves creole it should stand as one of the triumphs of DBS radio, for in this regard the station changed the thinking of the whole nation making a once unaccepted part of our ……………………………………………culture to be so infused that we even have a Journee' Creole(Creole Day).
With that background of the work of others it was easier for the modern technology Creole music to take root though not conceived in Dominica but in Guadeloupe by a band of Dominican musicians called Exile One. When they began their musical journey they could not have known that their efforts would result in moving Creole expressions from a minority culture to a pop culture starting a musical adventure that eventually would become the signature event of their homeland. Their efforts changed the way we regard the power of local musicians as did the Gaylords Power Union.
There are many theories as to how the idea came about and some have been boasted of as having visions and all of that. The truth is that this evolved from the thoughts and ideas of a number of people before it then came to seed. There was consultation with Mark Marie, Gordon Henderson, Michael Fagan, and a committee was set up by Sheridan Gregoire the then NDC general Manager to come up with ideas for special events. I headed that committee which included Ronald Lander, Kelly Williams, Eddie Toulon and Sherita Gregoire and we came up with the suggestion of a Dominica Cadence Music Festival to coincide with the Independence celebrations but in my phone conversation with Gordon Henderson to which he refers in his book Zoukland he suggested that 'Cadence' should be changed to 'Creole' and 'Dominica' to 'World' so as to encompass all creole music.
We then had a name- World Creole Music Festival. I have been told that this was also a suggestion from friends of Gordon including Mark Marie, husband and Manager of Ophelia Marie whose voice is a national resource, but I do not know enough to set it down here. It is also a fact and I should know it is a fact that we suggested the WCMF should be modeled along the lines of the previous Harlem all night Festival held years before on the Newtown Savannah. So as you can see it took many minds and ideas to come up finally with the WCMF and not any one person's vision. However none of this would have happened but for the decision by the UWP government to adopt and sponsor the idea amid much criticism and accusations of money wastage on 'sewo' and even ridicule by their political opponents who were having a good Ha-Ha- Ha including Charles Savarin. It is that United Workers Party government decision that changed the face of our musical culture and took what was essentially hometown music into the world of music and international entertainment that even those very political opponents of the past now hail it as the greatest musical cultural adventure of our time.
It would not be fitting if I did not add a word about the late Eddie Toulon. When his name came up only Sheridan Gregoire and me on the newly formed Festival Commission strongly supported his application for the job of Executive Director. It was suggested that perhaps another person with experience from overseas could be found for the task. By the by he was accepted and he must be commended for his splendid work in leading this mammoth undertaking out for its debut international exposure in 1996 and his surprising death just before the fifth anniversary of the WCMF was a great loss to Dominica. I find it totally unbecoming that very little is said of him during the WCMF season. By and through his work he changed the thinking that only a foreign person could do big things in Dominica. R.I.P Eddie.
But there are more changes I would like to see.
A change in the thinking of the management that the WCMF is nothing more than three all night shows and recycled musical band performances year after year. That was not the original intention. It was intended to make Dominica the home of creole music and be promoted worldwide that way just like Jamaica for reggae and TNT for calypso. That each year there should be a theme competition and a special WCMF song. It was intended to allow our music to be on international platforms and to reach out to the Francophone territories and to be made into a brand that could invade the other territories in the region and the vast possibilities on the African continent. It was intended to go beyond nightly rhythms to exhibitions using other venues, exposures, discussions, and important visitations. It was intended to find a permanent home for the event. I was a member of the original Festival Commission so I know that though we have the signature creole event we have not yet written that signature on the world as it was first intended and envisaged and it is about time.

Great article Dennis our history should be taught to the youth but you know what there is a God above who is not a policeman as we say looking out for one set of people. Your sins are following you, sit back for a moment and think of the evil that you bestowed on people in the 70s with Patrick John. You were ridding a very high horse you walked around Roseau pompous as ever thinking after you there would be no more. Your eyes were set on being Prime Minster and Patrick would be President. The grudge you carry today for Savarin…. is because he cut off the legs of your high horse which stop you in your tracks. I do hope you have acquire some empathy from your experience of the 80s and treat people with dignity.I enjoy reading your articles keep writing.
I agree with allot of things you said, Mr. Joseph. Notably, the things we did in the past affects us in the present. We should never forget that,all of us.
My father and the former honorable prime minister; Mr. Ronan Patrick John were good, good friends and he once confided things he new to my father, and there is more to the story than his excellency,yes "his excellency",Mr.Charles Savrin being the sole responsible person for the 47 day sting; operation remove P.J. Ask Mr. Edison Chenfil James. Isn't it interesting, that it was not Savrin who become prime minister, not even in the interim? That he was even sent away,huh. No surprise there.People like you need to be more forth coming. If you going to tell the whole story and you have the truth, why not tell the whole truth, write a book. I want to read it. Or are you bias as they all are and only want to keep us( the reds, the blues and the greens) all in the dark. Maybe you are afraid of reprisals. If Richard Nixon could be exposed, remember the water gate saga. Why can't the truth be told about the 47 day strike. Stop pointing fingers at only Savrin. Why doesn't anybody ever say what the positives of the boycott were. I know and allot of you out there know that the outcome was not all negatives.The benefits to so many that remain unexposed to this day.
Mr. Joseph I await that book. And just so you know cadence music had already left the island and had hit Martinique, Guadeloupe and even France. I was at a show well before the inception of the WCMF in the neighboring of Guadeloupe and was quite happy to hear the sweet sounds of cadence, were cadence was already celebrated as a class by itself. It just was not recognized by its' own countrys' new generation. Calypso and the "Swinging Stars". Not forgetting, king Solo, lord Tokyo, the NC, Tronada, Musician, etc, was the new craze.Then there was "Bouyon". So like some, sometimish or cherished things it faded. Why, you yourself gave some of the answers, that i know to be true.
Clearly, the music was lost because of the beliefs about "patwa" and the ideals of the petty bourgeoisie. That when i think about how well the youths of today just embrace the American and Jamaican culture and look down on their own, it is painful. I fully support you on that and i believe it. As a matter of fact i use to be listening in as a young man, when you started the "patwa" sessions with Tim on DBS. I actually had no choice because I had a father who, though was raised in Roseau, spoke allot of "patwa". So did my mother, though she was in town from the age of 14, still to this day talks allot of "patwa". She coming from Bioche'. That it was the parental influence that has me speaking it fluently. I mean must people who don't know me speaking "patwa" are surprised when i speak it.I even bought the first English to creole book, so i could learn to write it.
Mr. Joseph you should be recognized for you efforts because i believe it is your legacy. Eddy Toulon as well, for his role as directing such an uncertain and mammoth venture that bears the fruits of his labor to this day. Mr. Joe write that book, even if you write it as a novel. I need to read it. Because you and I both know that there are parts missing.
Mr Joseph
This was a very good piece and I share your concern that we innocently or deliberately ignore our people of history. We should get away from that petty partisan, uncaring and unloving mentality.
It would commendable if we have that history documented and on film to show in all our schools during Independence Celebration – bring back civics. Get the faces and voices of those who started the process in the story.
In addition, the documentary could be aired and viewed on all radio & television stations simultaneously so parents/guardians and children could spend family time together – and what a great discussion families would have thereafter.
He who ignores history always lives to regret it.
I was born in the 80's and remember clearly when i started attending high school and all the kids from town would call us "country bookie", now they are grown and wish they could speak "patwa". I am now residing overseas and pround to speak it especially when i meet other people from the caribbean who speaks it. I must say it comes in very handy when you don't want others to know what you are saying LOL.
Dennis, I respect your past contribution to music & broadcasting in Dominica. However your attempt to distort historical facts will only hurt your legacy. Charles Saverin was back by the civil service association, the church, parents of innocent children who were outlawed, incarcerated & shot dead for their hairstyle. I think its time that you come clean & ask forgiveness from Dominica & Domincians for being a puppet & propagandist for the Patrick John regime which disrespected the South African struggle by hiring South white supremacist South African mercenaries along with the Klu Klux Clan thereby disrespecting the African American struggle & also working with Zionist mercenaries & agents as well to invade Dominica & turn natives into second class citizens. Your support for the inhumane & gross human rights violations is a disservice & dishonor to our country. No hate for Charles Saverin can wash away the blood & pain of the regime Saverin helped overthrow. Please don't distort facts & misinterpret history because that will comeback to haunt you. I speak for Rastafari!
antedote for fools you are a fake for I know as a kid the suffering we went through growing up in the country side, as a child of a farmer. My mother could not leave me in the care of anyone I got sick, I was terrified with fear, my sister was held by Rasta man in my fathers field. So were we hurting rastamen, it was the government duty to protect us, You better know that part of the history antedote for fools

Thanks for some new knowledge Mr. Joseph. Marcel Jamala Fontaine is distinctly missing in such an an article. I remember him as one of the first to have a Patwa book published.
Mr. Joseph I look forward to a piece from you about the Gaylords experiences recording Reggae music in Jamaica back in the 60's and why has Dominica not produce more reggae artists from that influence. I would just like to note that with all the other musical genres that have been played and promoted on the various radio stations in Dominica from way back when, our biggest musical artist and product is of the Reggae genre. I think Dominica can do much more to promote it's reggae artists.
I agree with you Jacko Descendant in regards to Djamala -a former classmate and the Gaylords (Power Union.) However your idea that Gaylords were this big pusher of Reggae is erroneous. Have you listened to their music? Bingo, Breaker were calypsonians and rendered colourful and well written pieces of Dominican culture.While I agree we have a large number of Reggae artist at home and abroad, Reggae is "foreign" to us. Our emphasis should be to promote our own. And by the way I am a Ras, love my Reggae will be seeing Black Uhuru perform in a couple weeks and have friends in the business. Promote Local.
Denis has aright to his opinion. I love reading his pieces even though I do not always agree with evrything he says. If he, Denis, is bitter with Charles Savarin, he knows why. His world, standing aloof as "the man with the master plan' for broadcasting in Dominica came crashing after the popular "people's uprising". So I understand his never, ever forgiving attitude towards Charles Savarin.
What I am at pains with is the sielnce of the Public Service Union, then CSA over the criminal, mostly partisan attempt of some among us to rewrite history. Charles Savarin much to the union. The union in turn benefitted much from Charles Savarin's leadership. More than its membership, the union knows and ought to appreciate the successes it had under Charles Savarin's leadership. Yet the union bosses have remained disturbingly quiet amidst unfair reporting of the events of 1977 an again of 1999. Why can't the union make a statement to seek to correct the misinformation, calculated at best for partisan reasons. The union has a membership which transcends parties. If the present crop of union bosses are ashamed of their past achievements under Charles savarin, then they must say so. No wonder people like DJ can seek to ridicule Charles Savarin at every turn. Unless the union as an institution speaks, then the cricisms of its successes even by people who were part and parcel of the leadership and escorting Charles Savarin to secret hideaways from PJ and his never forgiving polical thugs then people like DJ will only continue to make 1977 and 1979 a Charlo thing. DJ keep writing anyway.
As always I salute you, a great teacher.Roseau Boy's School Standard V. A beautiful piece. You touched on very pertinent information regarding WCF.;in particular the Francophonic aspect . It appears that the festival has lost direction, subsequently I have taken the initiative not to attend the last five years. I have lamented the lost of our ROOTS in that entire debacle. As a boy I remembered enjoying the TimTim, la vwey, Conte etc. of the cutural elders during the preliminaries at the Roseau Boys' School.(Old Grammar School), an initiative of E.O. Leblanc. Honoring him next to a toilet? Disrespectful.
We do recognize your contribution Dennis and I'm sure you have a lot of good ideas for the advancement of kweyol language and culture in Dominica however, we have to put hate and politics aside in order to develop the nature isle. We need to look at things for what they are.
Charles Savarin did what he had to do and it was the right thing at the time. I know you were on the wrong side of the equation but we need to move forward. Remember Savarin had the support of people like Eddison James and Bernard Wiltshire just to name a few. He was considered a hero then.
It is unfortunate what happened to Patrick John because at one point I, too, thought he was one the best things that ever happened to Dominica. You know how long I waited to hear Patrick at least deny these charges that were brought against him publicly. But alas, it never happen.
Mr. Joseph, do you think that these things were good for Dominica- the Freeport, the overthrowing of government by arms and the alleged dealing with shady characters of racist South Africa, just to name a few. There was also the issue of the " Dread " act. Do you honestly think that Patrick handled these issues properly as a leader that was well respected and well loved.
All is not lost, Mr. Joseph, seven times to rise seven times to fall. I believe you can still make a very meaningful contribution to this country. It is a big man that admits when he has made a mistake. It will not be held against him. Pray for the blackman. There is always a time to heal.
you acknowledged a few good thing of the MAN with the MASTER PLAN,and giving the chance,would have taken DOMINICA much futher;but you fail to acknowledge that charles savrin,like a petty bouge,hated Patrick because he wanted to rub shoulders with the gros bougs of roseau.The haters, of THE RIGHT E O LeBLANCE,the father of Dominica"s politics,used charlo and a so called friend of PATRICK JOHN,zaboka or "judas"to bring him down,using the offices they headed.WE know now all the talk of plot and 'sunday island' was a intellectual coup,feeding lies to the masses,and today all you want the sufferers to forget and bow to the KILLER of the COMMONWEALTH OF DOMINICA? MAN You people not easy.
DENNIS man i belive everything you write there,and it's the TRUTH .MAN I always know you were a man with the MASTER PLAN who was given a bad rap.GOD will give you the strengh to see them get there just reward.
Welll said Denis, but we are at a standstill with a visually impaired, vision zero, resentful administration in power, that can't do anything to get us to where we should be. Every one of them is celebrating mediocrity and challenging truth.
Continue to bring back the milk and honey.
You might have been one of the best morning deejays in the caribbean, 'Top of the Morning to you' alongside El-Coq 'in the morning' from Trinidad and Julian Rogers of Barbados but, there is no sense of being so hateful of Charles Savarin.Charles Savarin has done enormous service to Dominica and its people. Stop being too political, Mr. DJ..
You guys got to be kidding me. Then ask Lennox what role did he play in '79'. There is nobody who is alive today and was a witness to that era, who thought the actions of all Dominicans was not justified. I think you guys have really mis-fired with your narrative.
Minus the first three paragraphs, which do nothing to introduce the topic, a telling and forthright backdrop to the founding and uplifting of the Kweyol culture – some would say, "from soup to nuts." Great article. You tell it just like Osborne "Science" Thomas related it to me about two years ago.
If we dare advise you, Mr. Joseph, Dominica needs your vision and skills in making the dream discussed in your last paragraph a reality. We concur that the potential of our Kweyol culture – manifest, as it is, in our pop culture – is longing to take the world by storm.
Does anybody else see what Mr. Joseph is saying. Must we continue to limit ourselves in Dominica to short-timers like fete for its sake alone? When, like Dennis Joseph and those who with him, "created" all that defines our Kweyol culture (the sights, sounds, folklore, dress, foods, etc.) will the decision makers do what is necessary to give Kweyol wings?
When Denis will stop seing Dominica's development in colours – this tiem "blue, then he will coem to his senses and coem forward to make a real contribution. After the 2000 election, didn't Rosie Douglas, Priem Minister admonish Denis to return to his job as manager of DBS Radio? What was his response? We all know. He saw his work at DBS Radio in true blue party colours and left. So much for wanting to serve under a government that elected Charles Savarin to be President of the Republic.
Lets agree to disagree without being disagreeable" President U.S.A". MR Joseph you`re right on point, and I agree with you on many fronts. Where there`s no vision our people perish. Clearly those who do not allow our past to shape our future are living on their own insecurity and cannot give credit to our great minds DEAD" OR ALIVE" but lets be careful who we seek to give credit to and those who we seek not to give credit too. or else we would just be giving mere lip service. You are deserving of your flowers as well as those who still maintaining the culture and the pride of Dominica. One for all and each for all". I like the brand new people`s house of assembly, I like the link Road, I like the New Bridge by the market, I like the Stadium, and I am looking forward to our International AirPort going forward, ect, ect.I also like that I am a proud Dominican.
To: Dennis. Thank u for such am article i am of age and is awear of some of the imformation but had no idea of the story written by you thanks for that. some person have no need for truths because of where it comes from but I pray that one day that mentality will stop u got life and I pray u more from the Heavenly father so u will continue the truth to educate me and mines never mind the lossers living in hate.thanks
DJ, Its funny that those who read all what you have said about the culture and the negatives that the elites of ROSEAU had to say about it are the ones who seem to take it over playing like everything creole and culture comes from them. Those who live the longest see the most and am one of those
Excellent piece. We need more like you to educate our young people on our history. Particularly that of Charles Savarin our new President. These Labourites sadly are not concern about our history and what is right or wrong. They are only concern with party politics, very unfortunate, we are lost as a people. We hear talk like we should not get children involve in the matter of boycotting the youth parade. The kids are the future, they must know the past and we must raise them to be principled.

On one of the many snow days in the past month, I brought out some of my art books for the kids–at first, mainly my six-year-old–to look at. (Click pictures to embiggen and see titles.)
(Appropriately, my art history book from college is anchoring this pile!) We started by flipping through The Art Book for Children. I was curious what would interest my son. Right away he wanted to know what was going on in this picture:
How exciting it must be to see that for the first time–an adult, flinging paint around like that. (That, of course, is Jackson Pollock.)
He was also struck by the Op Art pieces by Bridget Riley. The other kids were drawn in, and we spent some time flipping through the books, talking about what we saw. My six-year-old also gravitated right to a small black-and-white reproduction of Van Gogh's Cypresses, which was in the Georgia O'Keeffe book.
The next time I was at the library, I picked out some more books to bring home
and requested a few more through inter-library loan.
(The Op Art book that is open in the picture above is Optic Nerve by Joe Houston and Dave Hickey, and the large Pollock book is Jackson Pollock by Ellen Landau.)
A few days after I read Linnea in Monet's Garden to my six-year-old, he gave a succinct and correct explanation of Impressionism to his brother. Meanwhile, we've learned that Cypresses is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and we are making Someday Plans to see it in person.
As with anything else, when you start looking at one thing–an artist, a movement, a picture–you begin to pull on threads that lead to other things. We are meandering through some art history right now, seeing what we like and finding connections. And it is so exciting to me both to share artists I like, and why, and to hear what my children like and are responding to. I'm thinking we'll be trying some different styles in our own studio, too.
The other night, N asked, "What do you think it would look like if the Impressionists tried to do a close-up flower like Georgia O'Keeffe?" I don't know! How exciting to wonder about it, though.

CMIP5 - Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 - Overview
At a September 2008 meeting involving 20 climate modeling groups from around the world, the WCRP's Working Group on Coupled Modelling (WGCM), with input from the IGBP AIMES project, agreed to promote a new set of coordinated climate model experiments. These experiments comprise the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). CMIP5 will notably provide a multi-model context for 1) assessing the mechanisms responsible for model differences in poorly understood feedbacks associated with the carbon cycle and with clouds, 2) examining climate predictability and exploring the ability of models to predict climate on decadal time scales, and, more generally, 3) determining why similarly forced models produce a range of responses.
It is expected that some of the scientific questions that arose during preparation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) will through CMIP5 be addressed in time for evaluation in the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5, scheduled for publication in late 2013). The IPCC/CMIP5 schedule (pdf ) is now available and the three key dates are as follows:
- Februrary 2011: First model output is expected to be available for analysis,
- July 31, 2012: By this date papers must be submitted for publication to be eligible for assesment by WG1,
- March 15, 2013: By this date papers cited by WG1 must be published or accepted.
The IPCC's AR5 is scheduled to be published in September 2013. Future timeline information can be found on IPCC WG1 website.
CMIP5 is meant to provide a framework for coordinated climate change experiments for the next five years and thus includes simulations for assessment in the AR5 as well as others that extend beyond the AR5. CMIP5 is not, however, meant to be comprehensive; it cannot possibly include all the different model intercomparison activities that might be of value, and it is expected that various groups and interested parties will develop additional experiments that might build on and augment the experiments described here.
CMIP5 promotes a standard set of model simulations in order to:
- evaluate how realistic the models are in simulating the recent past,
- provide projections of future climate change on two time scales, near term (out to about 2035) and long term (out to 2100 and beyond), and
- understand some of the factors responsible for differences in model projections, including quantifying some key feedbacks such as those involving clouds and the carbon cycle
The CMIP5 (CMIP Phase 5) experiment design has been finalized with the following suites of experiments:
I Decadal Hindcasts and Predictions simulations,
II "long-term" simulations,
III "atmosphere-only" (prescribed SST) simulations for especially computationally-demanding models.
