Cappadocia ATTRACTIONS See all
Goreme Tours
The earliest settlers were Christian exiles in Roman times and they carved churches into the rock, along with houses and tombs. In the Middle Ages Göreme became an important religious center with monasteries, churches and chapels; many of which have impressive Byzantine religious wall paintings. Some of the most important are Basil Kilise (St Basil's Church), Elmali Kilise (Apple Church), and the richly decorated Tokali Kilise (Buckle Church), which is the oldest. The best-preserved and recently restored frescoes can be found in the Karanlık Kilise (Dark Church).
The town of Göreme itself is the center of this UNESCO World Heritage site and only a 15 minute walk from the Göreme Open Air Museum (1 mile/1.5 km), which is open every day but it's wise to go early during summer months, before the heat hits. Some people in Göreme still live in cave houses and many have been turned into hotels.

Where to find winter art ideas
Rate This Article:
Thank You For Voting
Winter art ideas can mean fun for everyone
I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for winter art ideas for my kids, especially when they have been playing outside in the snow and are ready to plop in front of the TV. The next time you want to keep them from numbing their minds with yet another TV movie or mindless cartoon (though TV has its place) try an art project.
Needlecrafts of various difficulty levels are perfect projects for winter. Both beginners and advanced stitchers enjoy needlecrafts, and there are projects for all ages. For many people addicted to needlecrafts, browsing a needlework store or online is the best place to go for counted cross stitch, needlepoint and knitting ideas.
By learning to cross stitch, for example, children learn patience and project planning in addition to the obvious coordination skills. If you are an adult, it is never too late to learn. I put knitting on my bucket list and after getting the opportunity to learn from a wise lifelong knitter, I have created wearable products and cozy blankets that are well loved and were wonderful to create. This is one of those winter art ideas that not only keeps you warm and toasty as you work on it, but also leaves you with a project that will be loved for years.
Snow Painting
A fun way to use that white stuff that often accumulates in the colder winter climates is to color it. That's right! One of the top winter art projects is painting snow. We get food coloring, put it into a spray bottle and spray out "Welcome Home" to our loved ones when they return home and the snow is piled high. Try painting cheeks or a face on your snowman instead of using carrots or coal for the face. And you don't have to paint words. Paint pictures of the sunny sky you wish you were looking at.
Bring the outdoors inside
Warm your house with decorations from outside. This may involve a brisk hike in the woods or simply a walk in your backyard or down the street.
Gather branches and sticks and bring them inside, making sure they are clean with no little critters clinging to them. Arrange them in a simple criss-cross pattern to make a kind of arch using floral wire to secure them. To further secure them, dot a heavy amount of flue in the middle so they stay nice and secure. This is best done one at a time since the sticks and branches tend to roll around while you're working with them. Add dried flowers, plastic fruits and whatever accessories you prefer, even buttons work. When you are finished, use the floral wire to fashion a simple hook and hang above a fireplace, a window or just on the wall where you can admire your handiwork.
Arts and Crafts Stores
Hit your local arts and crafts store for winter art ideas. The dead of winter is one of their busiest times. As a result, they are full of ideas for those of us stuck indoors in fear of sliding on the icy sidewalk and right on our bums! Make and take projects, or projects you can make at the store and take away with you when you leave, are often available at the store. This gives the store the opportunity to demonstrate their products and gives you a chance to see if you might like the craft or product they are selling.
It is said that art is in the eye of the beholder, so try out different winter art ideas and see what strikes your fancy.
I once attended an ornament-making party that changed each year. One year we covered wooden shapes with seeds and beans. Another year, we painted glass ornaments for our trees. Stitch, paint, even cooking can be a form of art if you take the time to be creative. You may find a new hobby as you explore different winter art ideas as you wait for beach weather to return.

Everyone made us feel extremely welcome and it was exciting to see so much interest and receive so much support from the school. The head teacher, librarians and teaching staff in general were all really enthusiastic and engaged.
To start our patronage, we sent the school a class set of Louis - Red Letter Day graphic novels and some signed posters, along with an activity sheet for the classroom.
We're looking forward to returning for a follow up session with S1 pupils and for sessions with Primary pupils too!

We are so excited to announce Kathy and Amelia's debut in Threads Magazine! Check out page 74 of the April/May 2010 issue to see their Master Class article on Mirror-Image Appliqué. As soon as our copy arrived the other day, we started looking over the issue page-by-page; here is a picture of Kathy and me, Shannon, reading over the cover (please ignore my messy desk)…
…but let's be honest, this picture is more like it! Can you hear the squeals of excitement?!
The article itself was a true joint effort between Kathy Barnard (SB Editor) and Amelia Johanson (SB Associate Editor). Judith Neukam, Threads Sr. Technical Editor, called Kathy last year and said she was watching Martha's Sewing Room one night when the Mirror Image Madeira method with the wash-away thread was demonstrated. Judith wanted to know if someone from Sew Beautiful would be willing to write for their Master Class segment in Threads using this technique, but based on a non-heirloom, styled design. Amelia and Kathy love fashion sewing so much that they decided to assign themselves the project! Kathy designed the featured dress and prepared the instructional step-out photography, while Amelia stitched it up; they both wrote the instructions together.
Kathy says, "We hope we get to do another article for Threads sometime. Now I know what it is like to be excited about having an article in another magazine. It's easy for me to publish a design or an article in SB because I am the editor, but when someone else chooses you, it becomes a real honor!"
If you don't already have a subscription to Threads, please run out and pick up a copy to see Kathy and Amelia's article! We hope you enjoy it, as well of the rest of their great April/May issue, and thanks again to Threads for the opportunity – we are honored.

As it struggles to rejigger and streamline its disparate Internet ventures, Microsoft Corp. is reviewing the estimated $20 million to $25 million ad account of online travel site Expedia.
The review adds further to speculation that the company may spin off some, or all, of its Web and media properties. They include MSNBC, CarPoint and HomeAdvisor.
Microsoft in July sold its Sidewalk city guides to Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch.
Suzi Levine, product manager for Expedia, confirmed that the travel site, currently at McCann-Erickson Worldwide, Seattle, was in the second round of a "closed" review.
McCann has been handling Expedia separately from the $300 million Microsoft U.S. account, consolidated this summer at McCann-Erickson/A&L, San Francisco.
Ms. Levine said McCann's Seattle office is participating in the review, but she declined to cite other participants.
Insiders close to the Microsoft business said agency contenders include the San Francisco offices of McCann and Y&R Advertising, and Deutsch, Marina del Rey, Calif.
"We're building our own brand and we want our own agency," Ms. Levine said. "Our brand-building is something we've been doing for months."
Seattle-based Avenue A performs online media purchasing duties for Expedia. An Avenue A executive declined to confirm the size of the account or whether its own responsibilities will grow.
Ms. Levine declined to specify the timetable for completing the review.
Last week, Microsoft appointed Richard Belluzzo group VP of its Consumer & Commerce Division, the newly renamed Internet division, to help it become a supplier of software technology to Web sites.
The former chairman-CEO of ailing Silicon Graphics Inc. and 22-year Hewlett-Packard veteran is charged with resetting Microsoft's online strategy. As part of his overall duties, he is responsible for Expedia and TransPoint, an online bill-paying service.

If it seems like Congress just can't get the farm bill done, well… that's because it can't. All year long, Washington lawmakers have been saying they want to pass a full five-year farm bill. But even though leaders of the House-Senate conference committee say they are close, they have acknowledged it just won't get done this year. They're pushing it off until January.
The inability to settle on a farm bill illustrates the deep divisions that have become the norm on Capitol Hill. The massive food and agriculture package used to be relatively easy thanks to bipartisan and urban-rural alliances. But this year, progress was a slow slog. A nine-month extension passed in January bought some time. This summer, the Senate passed its bill, but the House didn't. Then it sent two bills to the conference committee, one for agriculture and the other for food stamps. Just before Thanksgiving, Iowa Republican Steve King, a conference committee member, remained optimistic a deal could be reached by Christmas.
"It's more than 50/50 in my mind right now, the momentum of this," King said. "There really was a sincere effort to get it done by Thanksgiving, but we didn't get there."
Now Christmas and New Year's are out, too. There are three fundamental reasons today's lawmakers have such a hard time getting the job done. Iowa State University political scientist David Peterson says one is the striking chasm separating today's Washington politicians.
"We've seen an increasing polarization within Congress, in particular we've seen the modern Republican party move further to the right," Peterson said. "The Democrats have moved some to the left, but really what is driving it is the Republicans have moved further to the right."
That leaves fewer players drawn toward the middle, where compromises are forged. And it takes a majority of both bodies, plus the president ,to enact laws.
"The problem we've got right now is that the amount of things that a majority of the House, and in particular a majority of the Republicans—a majority of the majority party in the House—the Democratic Senate, and the Democratic president can agree on is vanishingly small," Peterson said.
On top of polarization and gridlock, add the lack of earmarks. Peterson says in times past, Congressional leaders could use those small, very specific addendums to sway neutral lawmakers to their side of a bill. But in the last decade, he says, Congress got rid of earmarks. Now deadlines are a main driver pushing Congress to act, though they haven't been very effective. To be sure, it's not just the farm bill suffering from this. Everything in Congress is, but the farm bill's history of wending its way through relatively easily makes the delay more striking.
"This is a very, very visible policy that has really dramatic effects on a lot of people, particularly a lot of people in this area," Peterson said. "And so it's more visible. But it's the same all around."
Now the word is: a new, five-year farm bill could come in January. How likely is that? Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), a member of the agriculture committee, says he'd be worried if another one-year extension were on the table. But that's not what the House leadership is calling for.
"It must mean that the Speaker has confidence that we're getting close to an agreement," Grassley said.
But we're poised to enter 2014 just as we did 2013… waiting for a new farm bill.

Day 11
This migration uses 3 ultralights, with Bill Lishman, co-founder (with Joe Duff) of Operation Migration, flying "scout." Today Bill's plane had troubles so only the lead and the chase ultralights flew. Without the third plane to help in case #4 dropped out again, the crew decided that #4 should make today's trip in the truck. But do you expect that to last? Stay tuned.
Here's something you may not have thought about: It's a cold trip for the pilots! The warmest temperature they felt while airborne was 34 degrees F (1.4 degrees C). They have to wear the white crane costume to conceal their human-ness from the cranes. So how do they stay warm in an open cockpit? Before the migration, Deke Clark told Journey North how they deal with the cold. Hear Deke's comments:

Russian nuclear physicist got 7 days of arrest in Belarus for criticizing plans on construction of NPP there
Russian nuclear physicist Andrey Ozharovsky was detained in the town of Astravets where he arrived to take part in public consultations.
The public consultations on 9 October focused on a preliminary report on environmental impact assessment of the Belarusian nuclear plant.
The coordinator of Ecodefense ecological group based in Moscow was guarded to a local police department before beginning of the consultations. He was seized 94 copies of printed materials titled Critical Opinions on the Preliminary Report on Environmental Impact Assessment of the Belarusian Nuclear Plant.
According to Ozharovsky, he wasn't spreading the printed materials during the detention. 'I have them in a package, I planned to hand them out during the consultation', the ecological activist told in an interview to BelaPAN. 'Police officers in mufti and a man Svirid, who introduced himself as an officer of the board of directors of the nuclear plant, came up to me and told he banned me to bring critical reviews of the nuclear plant construction in the room'.
As a result the court of the Astravets district of the Hrodna region accused Andrei Ozharovsky of hooliganism and sentenced him to 7 days of arrest on 9 October.
There were seven witnesses for prosecution, among them five officers of the law-enforcement agencies and two volunteers, and three witnesses for defense at the trial.
According to the court decision, the witnesses for prosecution said that during the consolation on environmental impact assessment in the concert hall in the center of Astravets, Ozharovsky 'demonstrated provoking behavior towards the people nearby and officials. He threw a package with printed materials and tried to burst into the hall, but his disruptive behavior was stopped.' The court thinks 'the public order was violated, the offender behaved in a rude manner for a long time – about 15–20 minutes'. The court didn't doubt in 'fairness and reliability' of the witnesses for prosecution.
'The intentional actions of the offender could hinder the environmental impact assessment consultation in Astravets and demonstrated disrespect for the society', the court verdict says.
The court decided that 'this person must get administrative arrest with the aim of correcting the individual and preventing him and other persons of committing new offences in the nearest time'.
As www.charter97.org reported, many independent ecological and human rights organizations weren't allowed to visit the so called public consultations, held yesterday in Astravets. The hall was filled with workers of local plants. They got flags and posters agitating for the construction of the nuclear power plant. The hall, where the consultation took place, was cordoned off by riot police.The Russian MFA passed a protest note to the Belarusian authorities only on 12 October. The nuclear power station will have a Russian reactor.

Posted on 09/17/2013 11:32:29 AM PDT by TFine80
Tourists visiting the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City can read its brochures in 10 different languages but Arabic is not one of them. Nor will it be any time soon.
Nine languages are spoken by over 97 percent of our visitors: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Mandarin, Italian, Japanese and Russian, a representative from the memorial told the New York Post.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, claiming Arabic is the worlds fourth-most-spoken language, is sending letters to memorial coordinators demanding answers on why the language is not included.
But it appears that the Arabic community is looking for more than just brochures printed in its language. An August AlJazeera.com report describes Manhattan as the area once known as Little Syria:
(Excerpt) Read more at bizpacreview.com ...
There are two great big gaping MF'n holes in the ground...what more do they need to say other than "sorry."
The Koran is written in Arabic, and it's loaded with discrimination. I suggest these morons start there.
"Nine languages are spoken by over 97 percent of our visitors: English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Mandarin, Italian, Japanese and Russian, a representative from the memorial told the New York Post.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, claiming Arabic is the worlds fourth-most-spoken language..."
One can conclude from those two facts that Arab-speakers just aren't very interested in visiting the memorial.
These ragheads are just itchin for it
and we`uns jus` don gonna scratch it for`em
Which stage of The Project are they in now? I forget...Oh yeah, Stage 2
If they have to ask then they have a very short memory on what happened there 12 years ago.
Seeing as arabic (the language of islam) is what the people who attacked us spoke, that language should only be spoken in hell
..... Well then ..... I accuse Arab-Americans of discrimination against the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
And that's how that eternal, never ending game of political correctness is played. Well, with the exception that nobody ever responds with a counter accusation because of fears of political incorrectness.
The reason there are no Arabic signs at the World Trade Center site may be because the management knows something about the future of Arabs, just as did the writers of Star Trek (there are no Arabs in Star Trek because it is set in the future).
Hey Arabs, do the letters GFY mean anything to ya?
Of course, if we are talking about what came before the World Trade Center, the section that was razed was known as "Radio Row" and was mostly the Jewish-owned electronics stores. Interesting juxtaposition, right?
Arab-Americans accuse....
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
If an Arab-American marries an African-American would their children be Arab-American-African-American?
And if one of their children marry an Irish/Italian their children would be.....
Whew....I am glad I am just an American. Simpler that way.
Unless you are first generation American, DROP THE HYPHEN.
And if African-Americans realized what African-Africans REALLY think about them, they would drop the African in a heartbeat.
HOWEVER, BO is a TRUE African-American..... of course the real curve ball would be if *Gary Player were to obtain citizenship he would also be an African-American - that should make the race monger heads explode.
*Gary Player — interesting, as he is known as "The Black Knight".
Fk Islame and the horse you rode in on.
Islamic imperialism on the march.
Meanwhile there is no love of Christianity much of the holy land. Long conquered and suppressed.
Aren't most Arab speakers in the world illiterate?
How many other countries are these people going to sue for not including arabic in their literature? How many other foreigners can sue because something isn't printed in their language? Is this the epitome of insanity? (no, that would be mooselimbs calling for "peace"....)

France foreign minister decries illegal use of child soldiers as global conference opens
[JURIST] French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy [official profile] Monday cautioned countries against the illegal and unacceptable use of child soldiers in armed conflicts at the opening of Free Children from War [conference materials], a two-day global conference in Paris drawing together representatives from about 60 nations. Hosted by the French Foreign Ministry [official website] and UNICEF [official website], the conference is directed at formal adoption of the so-called Paris Commitments and provide political support for the dissemination and acceptance of the more extensive Paris Principles [text, PDF], which propose to update the 1997 Cape Town Principles recommending actions to be taken by governments and communities in affected countries to end that violation of children's rights. According to UNICEF Executive Director Ann Veneman, the estimated 250,000 children [press release] recruited by armed forces and armed groups are "used as combatants, messengers, spies, porters, cooks, and girls in particular are forced to perform sexual services, depriving them of their rights and their childhood." Experts say that girls comprise up to 40 percent of child recruits and that twelve countries have used child soldiers on a massive scale. Over 95,000 child soldiers who have taken part in armed conflicts in Afghanistan, Colombia, Uganda, Somalia, Sri Lanka and Liberia have participated in reintegration programs since 2001.
In 2005, the UN Security Council [official website] adopted Resoluton 1612 [text] authorizing the UN to closely scrutinize and keep track [JURIST report] of all countries and rebel organizations that abuse children in any way or recruit children as soldiers [UN press release]. BBC News has more. AP has additional coverage.

This free printable birthday banner is bright and cheerful and easy to print off. Perfect for either a child or adult. Each letter is approximately 3 1/2 inches by 4 3/4 inches.
I made this free printable birthday banner in a multitude of colors so it can fit many color schemes or you can take your color scheme from it.
Red, pink, blue, yellow, green and purple all pop up here, either in the lettering or the multicolored edging.
Simple to print of on paper there are cutting lines for easy trimming. Four letters to a sheet plus I added an extra empty frame if you needed to fill in a number.
It doesn't take much to decorate for a birthday and using this banner can be your jumping off point. Balloons are always great at birthdays as are streamers.
If you just don't have anything else available then try using your brightly colored dishes and table cloths to add some color to the festivities.
Simply print off the 4 pdfs.
I prefer to use card stock as it is much stronger and you will be able to re-use your banner at a later date. If you don't have any card stock then you can print this on regular paper, it will be OK but the card stock would be better.
Punch holes in the corners of the letters. Don't punch the holes too close to the edge as you don't want them to tear.
It is better to punch the first one and then use that as a template for the others.
Using curling ribbon string them together as shown.
If you don't have any curling ribbon you could use yarn, string or even thread if you don't have anything else.
Make sure that you string enough ribbon through that you will have plenty to actually hang up the banner.
While you could put the words on one ribbon it would make it rather long. I put the banner on two ribbons so when I hung them up one was on top of the other.
The birthday boy or girl will be delighted with this cheerful printable Happy Birthday Banner. When you are finished with your banner you can take it down and carefully store it by folding the letters accordion style over top each other. That way it will be easy to un-fold when you use it again.
The printable birthday banner is a fast, easy and cheap way to decorate for a birthday.

At the New York Times Room for Debate Blog, a bunch of commentators were asked to weigh in with easy-to-make changes Americans might adopt to reduce their environmental impact. One of those commentators, Juliet Schor, recommends eating less meat:
Rosamond Naylor, a researcher at Stanford, estimates that U.S. meat production is especially grain intensive, requiring 10 times the grain required to produce an equivalent amount of calories than grain, Livestock production, which now covers 30 percent of the world's non-ice surface area, is also highly damaging to soil and water resources.
Compared to producing vegetables or rice, beef uses 16 times as much energy and produces 25 times the CO2. A study on U.S. consumption from the University of Chicago estimates that if the average American were to reduce meat consumption by just 20 percent, that would be the equivalent of switching from driving a Camry to a Prius.
Americans currently rank second in world in meat consumption, weighing in at 271 pounds a year, up from 196 pounds 40 years ago. And that doesn't include dairy. We get an estimated 75 grams of protein a day from animals, and 110 grams total; the government recommends only 50 grams a day.
The idea of eating lower on the food chain to save the planet isn't a new one. However, this isn't a suggestion that helps the Free-Ride household reduce its environmental impact, since we are already meatless.
What's more, figuring out how to tweak our dietary choices to further reduce our impact is made difficult by the lack of transparency about the real environmental costs of our options. The labels in the supermarket don't list how much water, land, or petroleum-based fertilizer went into producing your pound of potatoes or peas. Nor do they reflect the amount of energy used to process your tofu, nor the natural resources to can you chickpeas, nor the fuel to ship your bananas.
All of which makes it very hard to know how to make better choices about the foods we eat.
For example, so far this year we've been eating significantly more legumes each week. Nutritionally, they're a slam-dunk, high in fiber and protein. And, since legumes tend to enrich the soil they're grown in, I'm hopeful that we're expending less fertilizer than we would be otherwise. So far, so good. But now, in our quest to be environmentally responsible, should we be buying beans in cans or bags of dried beans?
The dried beans need to be soaked in water, then boiled in water (and it's generally recommended that you don't boil them in the water you soaked them in). So, here you're consuming water (which we're very short on in California) plus whatever source of power you use for cooking — just to get your legumes ready for your recipe.
Canned beans, on the other hand, don't need to be soaked or boiled … at least not at home. I'm unclear on what state the beans are in when they enter the processing plant — maybe they're freshly picked, but maybe they're dried beans that need to be soaked and boiled at the factory before being canned. (The latter option strikes me as a silly one, but as a consumer, I can't rule it out.) The beans are packed in steel cans — it takes both metal and energy to make those cans and to put the beans in them. And while steel cans are recyclable, recycling requires energy inputs, too.
Indeed, there's packaging for the dried beans, too — plastic bags — which requires petroleum and energy to make. And unless the legumes are sun-dried, there's likely an energy input required to dry the beans.
So, dry or canned? Which choice is more responsible? How on earth is a consumer supposed to evaluate this choice?
The cooking method introduces another decision point where I don't have as much information as I'd like. Lately, I've been rocking the slow-cooker. It tends to use less water than cooking stuff in a pot on the electric range, but over a much longer cooking time. Am I saving water only to use more electricity? Is there a good way to evaluate this?
If any of y'all know a good source for this kind of information, can you point me toward it? I have a feeling that there are other people who would like to take account of the environmental costs associated with their food choices, if only they knew what those costs really were.

Do I not fill heaven and earth? said the Lord.' — Jer. xiii.24.
O LORD JEHOVAH, Your power and wisdom know no bounds ; You are present everywhere and at all times; You sustain the universe. And as Your glorious perfections have been ever the same before time and space were assigned their limits, so when time itself shall cease, they will remain imperishable throughout eternity.
When I reflect on Your infinite, incomprehensible nature, and the constant changes in myself, in others, and in all things surrounding me ; and that since the world was created, day has followed day, distinguished only by the endless variety of those events which marked its progress, while You alone have been unmoved, unaltered, and immutable; I am unable to express the wonders of Your glorious Majesty and might. Earth, air, and sea, are Your unmeasured repositories of refreshment and joy; and every season speaks to us, in varied language of Your unexhausted bounties. How incomprehensible is Your mercy, how amazing Your condescension, when You regard the smallest wants of the means of Your people, and are never weary of hearing-their supplications, and of pouring Your abundant benefits on them.
On Your mercies in Christ Jesus, O eternal God, I trust for grace to serve You acceptably this day. May the Spirit of Truth guide me into all truth, and keep my thoughts pure and holy. May Your sustaining care be my confidence and safeguard. And may I be watchful in following our blessed Savior, as He has given us his own perfect example.
Lord, mercifully preserve me from being more occupied with the enjoyment of Your good things, than with the abiding remembrance of Your bounty in bestowing them; and enable me to derive new lessons of divine instruction from all I behold, which may render me more humble and more holy, more contented and more thankful. O guide my steps under all circumstances ; keep me from falling; and suffer me neither to abuse Your gifts nor to forget the giver. Instruct me in a truer sense of my unfaithfulness, that I may grieve over the eagerness wherewith I have sought my chief pleasure in the vanities of a changing world. Turn my designs to nobler purposes, and my desires to more satisfying joys; and send strength and courage equal to every day of trial.
Holy Father, never leave me nor forsake me ; but bring me to Your eternal kingdom, for Jesus sake. Amen.

One Person's Trash is Another's Treasure: Reusing Heat Energy in the Data Center
The expression "there's gold in them hills" can be applied to data centers in an unexpected area: the heat energy the infrastructure produces. Excessive heat is generally considered a bad thing for a data center's hardware, so it's typical to build server racks with comprehensive cooling functionality. In most cases, the heat gets released outside in one way or another, but that heat could be used to provide energy for other purposes and reduce the overhead cost of operation. According to Data Center Knowledge, data centers end up releasing upwards of 98 percent of utilized electricity as low-grade heat energy. Read More

Nadler reintroduces act for partner immigration; G.O.P. stands in way
On Tuesday, Congressmember Jerrold Nadler proposed an amendment to the Immigration and Nationality Act, The Uniting American Families Act, to allow for U.S citizens to sponsor their permanent partners residence in the U.S. The modification of the immigration act would also extend the current immigration laws definition of a family to not only include legal spouses of U.S citizens but also introduce the term permanent partner. Currently the Defense of Marriage Act limits the term spouse to heterosexual married partners. Vermont Democrat Senator Pat Leahy will introduce the Senate version of the bill.
The bill, formerly known as the Permanent Partnership Immigration Act, is coming up before a conservative Republican Congress.
Keeping loving families separated is gratuitous cruelty that serves no constructive purpose, Nadler said. This bill only demands that those people in same-sex permanent partnerships receive equal treatment as everyone else not an iota more.
Nadler has sponsored similar legislation twice before, in 2000 and 2004. Each time, the bill has achieved more support but has failed to win a majority of Congress. Nadler has 53 co-sponsors while Leahy had nine co-sponsors at the time of the introduction of the bill. So far, one Republican has offered to sponsor the bill.
According to Immigration Equality, a same-sex immigration rights advocacy group, in the 2000 census, 6 percent or 36,000 of the nearly 600,000 people counted as same-sex unmarried partners in the U.S included one citizen and one noncitizen. Currently 16 countries, including several in Northern Europe, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada, allow residents to sponsor same-sex unmarried partners for legal immigration.

Okay, Enough Is Enough — What Is Drake Possibly Doing In Anchorman 2?
Can someone please explain to me just exactly how many cameo parts there are in Anchorman 2? Are there gonna be main characters in this movie as well, or is it just gonna be famous faces popping in for three or four lines and then handing it off to the next celebrity? The list of cameos was already incredibly long, but today pictures got released of Drake on-set filming something, and I'm like — what are we doing here, guys? Are we just throwing money at this project and seeing what sticks? Is this all a cruel ruse to get me to buy music like the schemes that took place in Josie And The Pussycats? I remember that movie, and I will NOT be the consumer who puts on my happy cat ears and buys Drake's new album just because Anchorman 2 told me to!
Okay maybe I'm overreacting, but there are already a ton of people in this movie! Most of them are people I'm peeing-my-pants-excited about, like Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who apparently have a knock-down drag-out fight with Sacha Baron Cohen, or people I'm just regular excited about, like Harrison Ford and Jim Carrey, and Liam Neeson, but that's a lot of people! Oh and don't forget Kanye West! He's making a cameo in there as well, presumably just so the producers could get him into a funny outfit, which I can respect, frankly, because oh my god, Drake and that afro. Totally worth it.
The Anchorman sequel will be released on December 20th of this year, which should be plenty of time for the rest of Hollywood to shoot their cameos.

Dramatic weather preceded us, but the intrepid members of the Donald Ross Society were not dissuaded. We brought our rain gear and an extra supply of golf balls, and we were rewarded with frequent blue skies and superlative golf courses throughout. Not all of the participants played every single day, but some did; not all of us ate every meal or attended every cocktail opportunity, but some did; and the consensus is that the effort was worth the sore feet, stiff backs and extra calories.
Not only is Massachusetts where Donald Ross first worked in the United States, but more recently, an interest in the restoration of his Boston area golf courses led to the establishment of the Donald Ross Society. We began our journey at the Worcester Country Club, where we were taught to pronounce the name "Wooster", and Outings Chairman Derek Dobbs attempted to explain to our hosts why the name of their State should be spelled "Massochusetts."
Designed by Ross and opened in 1914, Worcester boasts 5 par threes, each with its own challenges. In 1927 the very first Ryder Cup matches were played here and subsequently both men's and women's US Opens as well. With a shotgun start, our own Past President began his round on the par three 4th hole with a precise drive to birdie range, certainly an improvement over America's Past President, William Howard Taft, who opened the course with an ugly duck hook of 125 yards. The course was damp but playable with many memorable holes. It was here that we first saw the substantial rocky outcroppings that characterize the Christalline Appalachians, and must have made golf course construction incredibly difficult using only mules and shovels.
° ° °
Friday morning took us to Salem Country Club that boasts a glorious golf course and magnificent clubhouse, surmounted with a weathervane that displays one of golf's most evocative logos.
Salem Country Club may also be one of Donald Ross's finest creations, and few have managed to remain so unchanged. Built in 1925, Salem has hosted a US Women's Amateur, two Women's Opens and the US Senior's Open as well. With only a small number of bunkers, many of which are directional guides rather than true hazards, the complexity of the course is in its greens that slope alarmingly to left, right and the rear creating nasty paths for slightly errant approaches, yet promoting good drainage thus enabling us to play despite the week's heavy rains. Remarkably, just two days after our visit, torrential rains in the Peabody (pronounced "Peeb-iddy") area severely damaged a bunker on the par three 12th.
At dinner, Golf Week Magazine's Bradley Klein spoke to us about the significant role that restoration work is now playing in the fight for survival among golf clubs that are threatened by a difficult economy. He has just published an updated version of his biography of Donald Ross that includes a chapter on the recent renovation work at Pinehurst #2, and graciously signed copies for our members.

Saturday took us to Essex County Club, 153 School Street, Manchester, MA 01944
The Essex County Club was home for Donald Ross from 1909 until 1913 and he worked on it constantly. Hired by one of his golf students at Oakley to expand the original 9 hole layout, Ross spent almost ten years on the project, which was not completed until 1917.
The Ross home still exists adjacent to the 15th tee and one can think of no better place to pause and take a wee nip from a discreetly carried flask. After the sparse bunkering at Salem, here some of his most dramatic bunker work makes even the shortest holes frighteningly difficult. Not all are short however; the 623 yard third hole (once listed as a par 6) plays to what may be the oldest continuously maintained green in the United States. The Curtis Cup was held here in 2010 and the world had an opportunity to see what a well-conceived restoration project can accomplish. Renaissance Golf opened up the course, brought back the full sized greens and their challenging collection areas and proved that a golf course need not be narrow to be tough.
Many of us felt that this was the finest Ross course we had ever played!
Saturday's dinner was followed by a delightful reminiscence from Alex Shapiro and his sister Victoria. Alex is the great-grandson of Donald Ross and he shared with us some of the diary notes and stories that his family remembers of their special ancestor. Some of their grandfather's comments about the political events of his time seemed especially appropriate to our own day as well.
° ° °
Sunday brought us to the Kernwood Country Club, 1 Kernwood Street, Salem, MA
Driving through a gate that resembled an old castle's stone wall we found a delightful track laid out on the banks of the Danvers River. Kernwood was opened in 1914 with a star-studded exhibition match featuring Walter Hagan and Francis Ouimet. Home of several Massachusetts Opens, the course does not pre-occupy itself with the nearby water and has many striking dry-land holes, nevertheless the 195 yard creek-fronted 12th hole was Ross's favorite here, and the views of boats and riverside homes are splendid from several of the holes. The clubhouse is built around the remains of a stately home, and despite its 1950-esque modern lines, some remnants of the original stonework had been preserved.
° ° °
Monday was our day at Oak Hill Country Club, 840 Oak Hill Road, Fitchburg, MA 01420. Our contingent had shrunk to just 12 golfers and we shared the golf course with participants in a fundraiser for a local Catholic School, but things moved along smartly, and some of our members were even tempted by the School's silent auction that offered interesting photographic memorabilia such as Ted Williams' first at bat, and a cigarette smoking Arnold Palmer.
Oak Hill Country Club had its beginning in 1917, and the golf course was laid out in the spring of 1919 by Wayne E. Stiles. Fortunately, DRS member Kevin Mendik is an authority on Stiles work and provided fascinating commentary. Additional land was secured in 1926, and a second nine holes were added, under the direction of Donald Ross. The new nine holes were formally opened when Tommy Armour and Johnny Farrell gave an exhibition. Farrell, who was the head professional at Quaker Ridge in New York, would win the US Open by one stroke the following year, in a 36 hole playoff against Bobby Jones. It was interesting to compare and contrast the two nines. Stiles clearly had the more interesting land to work with, and his holes are quite dramatic in their presentation, but the more modest and unassuming holes that Ross added on the flatter land on the other side of the entry road proved far more difficult to play with challenging greens that defy simple reads.
The hill, from which the Club takes its name, is a Monadnock (Native American for isolated hill) the solid granite base of a mountain, weathered down through countless ages to its present elevation of 900 feet. The sand hills and the plain on the east slope are probably glacial deposits, and might even trace the course of a glacial river along their ridge.
° ° °
Tuesday took us to Charles River Country Club, 483 Dedham Street, Newton Center, MA 02459.
The Charles River Country Club sits on rolling and wooded land spotted with rock outcroppings that Ross simply grassed over creating some imposing mounds. The 409-yard 8th hole has it all, the mounds to be carried, the elevated green and a reminiscent Ross false front. Two of its par 5 holes (7 & 10) are short enough that they might truly be viewed as par 4s and if so, the course might be rated the most difficult of this rota. It is not surprising that when the 1972 US Amateur was played here, the medal scores at Charles River were higher than the scores posted at the Country Club at Brookline.
This is a course that is fun to play and friendly to the average amateur, but deceptively difficult for the player attempting to post an ambitious score.
° ° °
On Wednesday, our journey would come to its end at the very place where Donald Ross's journey began, the Oakley Country Club, 410 Belmont Street, Watertown.
Eleven of the holes here are much as he designed them 1-5 and 10-15 along with the greens on 6, 8 and 17 represent his modifications to the course he found in 1899. Certainly, trees have intruded, and his ground would have played much firmer and faster without the modern irrigation system of today, but just as Dornoch is the Mother Church, Oakley is the First Mission.
All in all, one of our Society's most extensive outings proved to be one of the best. Such success, while certainly made possible by wonderful venues, would never have been achieved without the tireless work of Outings Chairman Derek Dobbs and the behind the scenes record keeping of Society Treasurer, John Stiles. In addition, several local DRS members, fortunate enough to have close connections to the Clubs that we visited, opened doors for us that would otherwise have been locked tight. Steve MacQuarrie, Ed Frackiewicz, Dave Osborne and Jack McGeorge made us feel at home in Massochusetts. Every single one of these courses is well worth repeat visits, and we were left quite envious of those who live within driving distance of Boston common.

McLEAN, Va. – The New Jersey City University women's soccer team enjoyed a historical season on the field during the 2011 campaign, and two prominent members of the starting lineup have earned accolades for their accomplishments on the pitch and in the classroom. Senior striker Julia Caseres (Union) and senior defender Nicole Sarica (Linden) have been voted to the 2011 Capital One Academic All-District® II Division III Women's Soccer First Team, in results released on November 4.
The dual selections mark the first time in the history of NJCU athletics that two student-athletes from the same sport have ever been voted to the First-Team Academic All-District team in the same season.
Caseres, a criminal justice major with a 3.58 grade point average entering the season, and Sarica, a biology major with a 3.62 GPA, each advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® National Team ballot, where first, second and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
To be eligible to be on the All-District ballot, student-athletes must be a starter and significant contributor of at least sophomore academic status, with a minimum GPA of 3.30.
"It is always an honor to receive academic awards through athletics," said Sarica about her latest accolade. "The fact that two of us have been selected shows that the women's soccer program at NJCU is progressing, on and off the field. And that to me is the importance of sports. It's not always about statistics, and scoring goals. It's about facing challenges, learning through experience, and being able to balance it all with our everyday lives."
Caseres, a four-time All-NJAC selection in her career, earned Honorable Mention status this season after collecting Second-Team All-NJAC and Third-Team D3soccer.com All-America last season. Currently, she has notched 20 goals and 10 assists for 50 points in 20 games. She has 92 shots (45 SOG) and five game-winning goals in 1,578 minutes. A two-time NJAC Offensive Player of the Week in week one and seven (September 5 and October 17), she was also a one-time ECAC Metro/Upstate Player of the Week. Caseres earned Second-Team Academic All-NJAC honors during the 2010-11 season.
The all-time leading scorer in NJAC and New Jersey collegiate soccer history among Division I, II or III players—men or women— Caseres currently has 98 goals and 41 assists for 237 points in 84 career games between Rutgers-Newark (2008) and NJCU (2009-11). She has 468 career shots (236 SOG) and 22 game-winning goals, while making 7-of-10 penalty kicks. She ranks 15th in Division III history in points and 16th in goals, with more potential games next week in the ECAC Tournament.
In three seasons at NJCU, Caseres, who was also named Second-Team All-NJAC as a sophomore in 2009, has 76 goals and 33 assists for 185 points on 360 shots (172 shots on goal), netting 18 game-winners in 64 games. She is NJCU's all-time leader in points per game (2.89), goals per game (1.19), game-winners, assists, assists per game (0.52), shots per game (5.62), shots on goal per game (2.69), penalty kicks made (4), and penalty kicks attempted (7), while listing second in points, goals, shots and shots on goal.
As of November 2, she is tied for the conference lead in assists and assists per game (0.50) and tied for first in game-winning goals (5) and game-winners per game (0.25). She currently ranks second overall in the NJAC in goals, points and points per game (2.50), third in shots, fourth in goals per game (1.00), and fifth in shots per game (4.60). Nationally, Caseres is currently among the NCAA Division III leaders in total points (ninth), total goals (12th), points per game (25th), total assists (25th), game-winning goals (25th), goals per game (28th), and assists per game (56th).
Sarica, a three-year co-captain, was named First-Team Academic All-NJAC in 2010 and Honorable Mention Academic All-NJAC in 2011. She was the 2010 NJCU Thomas M. Gerrity Scholar-Athlete of the Year winner—presented to the top all-around athlete at NJCU annually. In 2010, she was an NSCAA College Women Scholar All-East Region Honorable Mention selection.
The NJAC Defensive Player of the Week in week two (September 12), Sarica earned All-NJAC honors for the second time in her career this season and the first time since 2009, when she made the switch from midfield to defender. She missed much of the 2010 season with an injury. She played in 18 games this season and saw 1,636 minutes of action, contributing to four shutouts, including three straight when NJCU achieved a school record for longest scoreless minutes streak at 450:49—nearly 200 minutes longer than the previous record. Sarica scored one goal for two points and both of her shots during the season were on target.
In 72 career games she has 11 goals and 15 assists for 37 points on 66 shots (41 on goal) and two game-winners over 6,073 minutes. She is fourth in school history in games started (72) and minutes played, fifth in games, sixth in assists, ninth in shots on goal, 10 in points, 11th in game-winning goals, 13th in shots and 15th in assists per game (0.21).
Brittany McGinley of Cranford, who played for the University of New Jersey, was also recognized as part of the Capital One Academic All-District® II Division III Women's Soccer First Team. She is a senior business management major with a 3.40 GPA.
McGinley was previously voted as 2011 NJAC Offensive Player of the Year and was selected to the All-NJAC First Team. McGinley led the Lions with 11 goals and 22 points, with two of her goals being game winners.

High blood sugar while sick.
Has anyone found a good coping method for when you're ill, particularly with a stomach bug or discomfort? I take Metformin, which is hard on the stomach to begin with. Well, when I'm out of sorts, I don't feel like taking it at all, because it only seems to add to the discomfort. So I end up with a pounding headache and nausea, because my sugar is high; I don't feel like eating, and won't take the Metformin on an empty stomach. Feels like such a bad catch 22, anyone find a work around?
3 replies
crackers and milk help me a lot but if I am sick just plain old chicken brouth will work .
I had to get off met for the things it did to me .
Best wishes
I spoke to my Dr. about the effects Metformin has on me, but I'm only 43 and he doesn't want to put me on insulin. My A1C is only 6.1-6.3 most times, but it's the spikes when I'm sick that put me over the top. I'll mention the discomfort again, and hope we can work something out. The medication is only supposed to be temporary until I quit working (I sit in front of a computer most days). Thanks, Harlen.

We use our PCs and laptops for so many different tasks these days, it's a wonder there's a point in the day when we aren't using technology in one form or another. Whether we're getting all we can from this technology is, however, a very different matter.
Over the following pages, we present some of our favourite tips for getting your PC out of a fix, repairing a wonky installation, recovering from malware and avoiding social-networking pitfalls. Drunken tweets? Check!
There are a lot of tips here: some are satisfyingly techie; others are more about enhancing your PC and tablet-based entertainment. In other words: there is something for everyone.
Photos, music, video; PC Setup
Organise and edit photos for free
Picasa is a great free photo editor and manager. Get it from picasa.google.com and let it manage your images and display them in groups automatically organised by date. It supports tagging and face recognition, and offers some simple non-destructive edits.
Create a custom screensaver ?with Google Picasa
Google Photos Screensaver (get it free from tinyurl.com/2vrwuz) is another freebie based on Picasa. Launch Picasa, click the Tools, Configure Screensaver option and select a source from those listed in the Settings menu. RSS feeds, Flickr photostreams and your own photo library are all options. Pan, zoom and panorama are all supported.
Use Windows' photo-printing tools
Windows may offer little more than Paint in terms of photo-editing tools, but its Fax and Photo print driver is rather clever. It can auto-arrange photos on a page, stretch or resize them, and help you choose the most appropriate paper type and resolution.
Create a musical slideshow ?in Windows Media Center
Windows Media Center usually offers up some exploding fractal graphics to accompany your choice of music. Head to the Tasks, Settings menu and add some photos to your Favourites menu – tagging any you wish with star ratings. Click Save, then go to the Music Library, select an album and press Play. Choose Play pictures from the far left to start the slideshow.
Sound advice
Windows audio can sometimes cause music playback to stop. If this happens go to Control Panel, Sound. Select the Playback tab and check your preferred sound output is selected as the default device. If it isn't, highlight the preferred option and click Set Default.
Volume issues
Updating the drivers for the internal sound card or for any external speakers often clears a playback issue. Check the Sound, Properties, Advanced tab, and try adjusting the playback quality settings and clicking on Test to see if something else is interfering.
Play more video formats than just Mpeg4
QuickTime and Mpeg4 movies are actually a collection of video codecs, but they are fairly widely supported. If your tablet, PC or laptop won't play a clip that you want to watch, try either VLC Media Player (videolan.org), which can handle most video files without additional software, or download the Combined Community Codec Pack for Windows Media Player (cccp-project.net).
Safari's iTunes safe browser
Whenever we plug an iPhone into a Windows laptop, iTunes seems to spend ages thinking about synching our music, and so on. We've noticed it's checking with Safari about safe browsing. There's no real need, so just click cancel to go straight to your iTunes library.
Add album art
Missing album artwork in Windows can be tracked down by right-clicking on the album cover and choosing 'Update Album Art'. In iTunes you need to choose 'Enable Automatic Downloading' for your cover art. To track down any that iTunes has missed, try the collection maintained by Amazon, which is also available as a widget from Apple's downloads site at tinyurl.com/6etn85.
PC makeover
You can instantly change the look of your Windows PC by changing the desktop background to something other than the images that came with Windows. Right-click anywhere on the desktop, choose Personalize and then select a new wallpaper.
Warm to your Windows Theme
A theme is a combination of pictures, colours and sounds that give Windows PCs a particular look and feel. You can change the default one by right-clicking the desktop and choosing Theme, then selecting from those on offer. Alternatively, download one from tinyurl.com/273hutd.
High-resolution hell
Just because your display is capable of supporting HD resolutions, it doesn't mean you should set it to do so all the time. Cramming more pixels into a smaller space results in a smaller onscreen image – so you're more likely to squint. Right-click on the desktop, choose Screen resolution and select a slightly lower setting.
Beware screen fatigue
Of course, we all love our PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones, but you can have too much of a good thing. Give your eyes a break from that backlit screen. If you're forgetful, use a pop-up reminder app. The likes of AntiRSI can also be useful to stop you ending up with aching limbs.
Get a second screen
If you mainly use your laptop at the same desk or table, consider using an external LCD. You'll enjoy a larger screen and will be sitting further back from the screen itself, making for a more comfortable viewing experience.

DENVER, Pa. – A circa-1880 Halopeau "H" (Halopeau) bébé, 24 inches tall and dressed in period clothing of pink silk and lace, was the opening-session star of Morphy Auctions' May 17-18 Fine Doll debut. The doll had been estimated at $50,000-$70,000, but Becky Ourant, co-director of Morphy's Fine Doll & Teddy Bear department, had noted prior to the sale that an "H" bébé had previously achieved a price of $100,000, and that anything was possible in an auction environment.
The blond, bisque-head doll with deep-blue paperweight eyes led a lineup of antique dolls, dollhouses, miniatures, doll and dollhouse furnishings, and candy containers from several private collections. The opening session took in more than $1 million, well exceeding the total high estimate for the day. Internet purchases accounted for $257,298 of the gross.
A Teddy Bear with blank button, circa 1910, white mohair with shoe button eyes, tan stitched nose, mouth, and claws, felt pads, and original blank button was wearing a patriotic button and ribbon. He was 14 inches high and sold for $1,840.
A Kämmer & Reinhardt 101 Marie Character Child, Germany, circa 1910 sold just over her high estimate. She had a bisque socket head, incised K R 101/30, painted side-glancing blue eyes with molded lids, a closed pouty mouth, original light brown braided wig, and fully jointed composition body. Wearing original chemise with straw hat and tan leather shoes, she was 12 inches high and in excellent condition. The presale estimate was $1,500- $2,000; she sold for $2,070.
