The Good Old Days in Darien / Ed Chrostowski
Teens were on a roll when the band rocked
Published 1:11 am, Friday, July 9, 2010
When Darien teenagers first jumped and gyrated into the raucous world of rock and roll a generation ago, a band of their schoolmates was there to lead them.
They were the Belvederes, a bunch of talented young guys who loved the "new" music and knew what to do with it. Launched during what has been termed the "golden age of rock and roll" (1954-63), they played and sang the tunes first made popular by the Beach Boys, Beatles, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holley and some of the other early sensations of the musical craze that was taking young America by storm.
But while the music was wildly popular with Darien teens and the Belvederes enjoyed some renown because of the way they performed it, many adults here and elsewhere were less enthusiastic. Some called it "evil" and many, wary of long-haired musicians and weird sartorial styles, the "strange" dancing and the insistent, pulsating beat, regarded it as a "teenage rebellion."
When Wee Burn was urged to book the Belvederes for one of its dances, the buttoned-down country clubbers were reluctant. They doubted that "ol' time rock `n' roll soothes the soul" and they were apparently fearful of the effect the band and its music would have on their kids. Lester Lanin and the society orchestras of the era fit country club decorum much more comfortably, said the committee members, publisher Dick Robertson, Judge William Kelly and bankers Don Blodget and Col. Howard Stout Neilsen.
Hesitation began to fade, however, when the Belvederes showed up for a long-awaited audition not as "wild mopheads" but as young gentlemen attired in jackets and ties and with their hair neatly trimmed and combed. And the early skepticism disappeared entirely when they played the Kingston Trio's "Scotch and Soda" to the merry accompaniment of feet tapping in the adult audience and ice cubes tinkling in highball glasses.
The Belvederes had been put together by Willy Demms of Noroton Avenue, rhythm guitarist and vocalist, who recruited Johnny Lombardo, a Darien High classmate, as lead guitarist and singer. Then Neal Lombardo, Johnny's brother, came aboard to play bass, followed in rapid order by Bobby Lupinacci, Sandy Fletcher, Billy Pegler and Tom Haskell on the drums.
Some of those names added to the Belvederes' luster. Haskell was the son of Jack Haskell, who lived in Tokeneke and was the singer on the "Lucky Strike Hit Parade," a weekly musical show on network television. Pegler was the nephew of famed columnist Westbrook Pegler and the Lombardo brothers were the sons of Nick Lombardo, who owned a popular night spot in New Canaan and appeared often in the community theatre productions there.
As the rock and roll mania mounted and the reputation of the Belvederes grew, their respectability boosted perhaps by their acceptance at prestigious Wee Burn, the group was booked for gigs at teen canteen dances and parties throughout the area. And when some of the music world's famous groups came to area towns to perform, the Belvederes often were booked to back them up. In addition to filling that role with such bands as the Belmonts, the Crystals and Ruby and the Romantics, the Belvederes won some area talent contests and even put their show on the road, going so far as State College in Pennsylvania.
The Belvederes also had the distinction of being the first band to perform in what became weekly concerts at Weed Beach, a summer highlight that continues even now, decades later. Weed Beach, a 20-acre privately owned tract that lived up to its name until it was acquired by the Town of Darien in the late '50s, is now being "revitalized," but the major attractions still include the concert series initiated by the Belvederes at a "block party" on the old tennis courts there.
Darien's popular young musicians also had a peripheral role in an incident that stunned the town and indeed had national ramifications.
On a night in 1964, the Belvederes played for the dancing teens at a debutante party in a private home on Nickerson Lane. After leaving the celebration, a teenage Darien girl was fatally injured when the car in which she was riding slammed into a tree off Mansfield Avenue at 3 a.m. and the boy who was driving was arrested and convicted of negligent homicide.
Police said they had been drinking and the incident set off a widespread clamor for tougher laws holding adult hosts liable if they make alcoholic beverages available to minors even in their own homes.
The host parents were charged with serving alcohol to minors and the case was splashed across the front pages of New York tabloids for months. Headlines screamed about "high society booze for kids in suburbia" and network television news carried film clips showing parents being led into the police station.
The Belvederes' gigs multiplied, though, and their beat went on for another year before the popular young musicians began to go their separate ways, some to colleges and others to jobs and military service. But the part they played in Darien history lingers. Their music had bridged gaps between generations.

February 2013 - Liberty of the Seas to Caribbean - Western
Overall was very nice, but when comparing to other ships, such as the independent of the sea (which I have been 2 month ago), the food at the dining room and the shows were much better. The ice show was a bit boaring, and shows on stage were -ok... but not "wow". But overall, the ship is beautiful, and the service was amazing.

PHILADELPHIA – The Cowboys were terrific on third down Sunday night, converting 47 percent of their opportunities (7 of 15) and limiting the Eagles to 33 percent (4 of 12).
The biggest third down conversion for Dallas, of course, was Tony Romo's 49-yard touchdown pass to Miles Austin on third and 14 from the Philadelphia 49. The score gave Dallas a 20-13 cushion with 8:04 left.
But another big one came on the Cowboys' final possession. Facing third and 3 at the Dallas 46, Romo threw a pass to Jason Witten for 5 yards. With the Eagles out of timeouts, the Cowboys were able to run out the clock after the play with Romo kneeling down three straight times.
The Eagles blitzed on the play and blew a coverage assignment, allowing Witten to get open.
"We messed that one up again," Eagles SS Quintin Mikell said. "I mean, we had some mess ups out there on coverages. They had a good play call on and, obviously, they were reading our blitzes."

fWo Wrestling Home > News Directory > News Article: Enforcer-Xias: Twilight?
December 20, 2003
Scott Powell
Earlier today on this wonderful Saturday, I had the chance to speak with one of the more controversial new entrants into the fWo- Enforcer. Enforcer apparently had a message he wanted to get out to all of the fWo fans- and one certain fWo wrestler- and it was a pretty simple on.
"I'm laying down a challenge to Xias to return and face me in two days at Unleashed: Twilight." Enforcer said matter-of-factly.
I pointed out to Enforcer that we have no idea what Xias' condition is- he hasn't been seen or heard from since Enforcer brought a lead pipe down upon his skull a few weeks back on Uprising- and he seemed to blow this off.
"Please. Keep year ear to the ground, Scott- what the hell kind of internet reporter are you, anyway? I didn't hurt Xias all that bad- he's been purpously staying home so I don't have the chance to finish the job. Well, I'm calling him out now, and if he DOESN'T show up at Twilight on Monday night, the whole world will know what a fucking coward Matthew Vorankias is. I already know it, but I want the entire world to know it."
I probed further, asking Enforcer when we'll find out just what the hell made him come to the fWo in search of revenge, and I got a confident reply:
"When I'm done grinding Xias into a bloody nothing, I'll grab a microphone and reveal just what kind of guy Matthew Vorankias is to the entire world." he said with a chuckle. "And once they all know what kind of guy their little anti-hero is, once they all know it, that's when my revenge will be complete. So tune in, that's this Monday night LIVE on Fox, you won't want to miss it!"
He hung up the phone before I could ask anything else, but I think the message has gotten through loud and clear. The question now is, will Xias ignore it, or will he be at Twilight in less than two days to answer Enforcer's challenge? You'll all have to wait and see, because this is Powell, signing off.

Shahabuddin sent to AIIMS for treatment
August 05, 2006 15:26 IST
Imprisoned Rashtriya Janata Dal MP Mohammed Shahabuddin was on Saturday sent to New Delhi for specialised treatment of his spinal problem at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences following directive of the Patna high court.
Shahabuddin was sent in an ambulance to Patna from where he would board a service flight for Delhi, District Magistrate S K Mal said.
"All necessary arrangements have been made for his treatment," he said.
Mal said Shahabuddin would be staying in judicial custody in AIIMS and an assistant jailor from Siwan and a posse of policemen would accompany him.
Justice V N Sinha had, on the basis of a confidential report of the state medical board submitted to the court by Advocate General P K Sinha on July 31, directed the state government to send Shahabuddin, who was lodged in Siwan divisional jail, to AIIMS and ordered the AIIMS to submit a report to the court on his condition within two weeks.
In his petition, Shahabuddin had prayed for mercy killing.

Thomas Paul has been described as a style star for his colorful prints, whimsical patterns and ability to design contemporary products that bring a fresh outlook on life. Its hard to put a finger on the genre that Paul likes best. His designs span from the Victorian era to the present. Many of his product designs echo vintage print and fabric patterns, but are reinvented to fit into modern spaces.
Perhaps, Thomas Paul is simply reflecting the collective consciousness of New York. As a city that honors the past as much as it strives into the future, his hometown must have had a hand at developing Pauls unique perspective. In the mid-nineties, Paul earned a degree in textile design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. He went on to create ties and scarves for Calvin Klein, Bill Blass and DKNY. In fact, Paul started his own neckware collection right before jumping into the world of bedding. Bedding seemed to be the gateway for more product design. Soon he was designing lighting, graphic dishes, stationary and bath accessories.
Thomas Paul has created his own unusual world. In his world, bandana patterns make good pillows, horse prints create eye catching shower curtains, colorful birds grace plastic dishes and leopard print comes in fun colors from the 60s. While his bedding collection has won him many mentions in magazines such as Elle, Marie Claire, and Harpers Bazaar to name a few, he remains just as vigilant at creating the best products possible as he did when he first started. Its a good thing for the home accessories world that he is as dedicated as he is. Where else could someone buy an octopus duvet cover?

Peter McKenna welcomes sponsorship recognition for GAA's commercial partners
Association's commercial manager and Croke Park stadium director believes signs of improvement in market
Croke Park stadium and commercial director Peter McKenna: "Certain companies don't suit our organisation such as betting firms and if we have one partner who is strong in a particular area, we obviously can't take another one." Photograph: Inpho
GAA commercial manager and Croke Park stadium director Peter McKenna welcomed the results of a sponsorship survey indicating
the association's commercial partners Centra and Super Valu have achieved the highest recognition amongst industry professionals for their sponsorships, which prominently feature respectively the All-Ireland hurling and football championships.
The Onside Irish Sponsorship Industry Survey is in its 10th year and Musgrave Retail Group, who operate Centra and SuperValu, displaces last year's top sponsor O2.
"It's hugely positive recognition for our sponsors," said McKenna, "and follows on from last year's European sponsorship (ESA) award for Kelloggs and their sponsorship of the Cúl Camps and Liberty (sponsors of the hurling and camogie championships) have also been nominated this year."
Multi-sponsor model
The GAA has been successfully operating a multi-sponsor model – like the Uefa Champions League – for the past six years but in a small environment there are pressures. "Certain companies don't suit our organisation," said McKenna, "such as betting firms and if we have one partner who is strong in a particular area, we obviously can't take another one."
He believes whereas the market isn't close to bouncing back to its pre-depression height, there has been a "stabilising" recently. "There are signs of some improvement but we've still a way to go to get back to where we were."
Elsewhere, on the commercial front, the GAA have announced reductions in prices for those buying tickets in advance of matches in the top divisions of the national leagues. According to a GAA press release: "Tickets purchased before the day of the games will now cost only €10 whereas the cost of entry on the day of the game will be €15. The €10 ticket price represents a 23 per cent decrease on last year's admission for top level games . . ."
Tickets will be available from normal outlets including SuperValu and Centra stores nationwide and at gaa.ie/tickets.

Buffalo Nation (Bison bison)is a piece of theatrical music created by composer & Milwaukee native, Jerome Kitzke and librettist, Kathleen Masterson. Through music and text the work will illuminate the huge, varied, and largely unsung story of the American Bison from pre-history to present time, including the herd's late 19thcentury decimation. This story, which is simultaneously tragic and redemptive, ecological and social,was inspired fromhistorical records, contemporary ecological writings, contemporary fiction, aural histories of the Great Plains Indian Nations, and from imagination.
A solo singer, actors, sound effects chorus, and instrumentalists will bring their voices to bear in representing not only the human characters, but the bison as well. According to Kitzke and Masterson, "As American creative artists, we have always been acutely aware of the non-static quality of history, and that the way we now live on this land is directly connected to the way we historically came to live on it. This piece will reflect that belief, and though the story it tells is an emotionally difficult one, it will, we believe, be one of redemption as well."

The recession has hit professional sports.
Last Wednesday the Giants "announced" crowd was just over 26,000—the first time a crowd count of under 30,000 was recorded at their waterfront ballpark.
Keep in mind in good times, the cost of attending a Giants game is monumental. Just consider a couple of decent seats, two beers, hot dogs, and you're talking well over a hundred bucks and I'm being conservative.
To their credit, the Giants have installed a ticketing plan where eight bucks can get you into the yard in the upper deck against a less attractive opponent–say, the Washington Nationals or Pittsburgh on a Tuesday night, but weekend games and Dodgers, Mets, forget about it.
Which brings to mind the state of pro sports. It's not just the Giants suffering at the gate–in fact, attendance overall in MLB is down 5% from a year ago. Look at all the empty seats in Cleveland, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, and Detroit.
More ominous for baseball is the situation in NY affecting both the Yankees and Mets, playing in brand-new stadiums with prices off the chart.
The Yankees have played to crowds over 40,000 in all of their home games, but their infamously obscene $2500 tickets around home plate and between the baselines are mostly empty and look positively bizarre and hideous on TV.
I know a lot of very rich people in NY and even they wouldn't dare pay 5 grand for a pair of choice seats to watch the Yankees. Talk about excess. The only 'schlums seen in those sections appear to be obscure folks who don't look like baseball fans–more, "am I being seen"? New Yorkers' that skipped the theatre. Hell, even Donald Trump has avoided this Yankee ripoff.
SATURDAY SALVOS: news headline: "Swine flu outbreak in Mexico–W.H.O. officials warn possible pandemic". Lovely. There goes the pork chops for dinner…Craigslist is 95% helpful and cool; a couple of wack-jobs murder two women and now everyone wants to dump on the popular bulletin board, and no, Craig Newmark didn't pay me a dime to say so…Like I said a few days back, the 'Susan Boyle story was cute and reeked of something genuine. Now, she's getting makeovers, Facebook pages, Larry King and Dianne Sawyer interviews and the cute little story is now just another overblown case of wretched excess…Great mention from Huffington Post media writer supreme Bill Mann: Perez Hilton was on Larry King the other night debating gay marriage. "I've been through seven marriages," said Larry, "and I tell ya', kid, ain't no such thing as a gay marriage". Rim shot!

The Art Institute of Chicago
Last weekend I was in Chicago and after hitting the show floor at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS) and visiting Mies van der Rohe's 880-860 Lake Shore Drive Apartments, I traveled along Michigan Avenue to the Art Institue of Chicago. Home to Georges Seraut's famous A Sunday on La Grande Jatte pointalism piecea and Grant Wood's iconic--and much impersonated--American Gothic, the museum also boasts the Renzo Piano-designed Modern Wing (which opened in May 2009), an impressive mid-century modern collection, and artifacts from the city's--and world's--early skyscrapers. I swung by on Sunday to check out the goods.

Natural Factors PhosphatidylCholine 90sgels
The beneficial effects are likely due primarily to the essential fatty acid components of phosphatidylcholine and lecithin preparations. Many find it calming and relaxing for the nerves. As essential nutrient choline is a building block in cell membranes and is involved in many processes including the transport of fat from the liver to the blood stream and overall liver function. It takes part in a variety of biochemical reactions that generate single carbon units called methyl groups that in turn are important in the synthesis and repair of DNA and the use of vitamin B12 folic acid the amino acid methionine and the antioxidant "protector" glutathione.
Therefore a deficiency of choline can affect many body functions. Phosphatidyl choline is the nutrient precursor to acetylcholine an important brain chemical (neurotransmitter) involved in both memory and thought. In healthy people phosphatidyl choline can enhance mental function and is needed to build cell membranes improve nerve cell efficiency and repair neurons. Phosphatidylcholine is also a superb daily addition to the diet of anyone seeking safe nutritional support for healthy liver function. Benefits Supports healthy liver function Aids in the digestion of fats Supports memory and concentration Cellular support throughout your body.
Each softgel contains:
1200 mg of phospholipid complex provides: Phosphatidylcholine (PC) ................................420 mg
Dosage 2-4 softgels daily at mealtime or as directed by a health care practitioner. Keep out of the reach of children.
Contraindications Phosphatidylcholine is very safe well tolerated and does not have any adverse reaction with any drugs such as anti-hypertensives anti-inflammatory anti-ulcer cardiovascular chemotherapy diuretic or hypoglycemic drugs. Phosphatidylcholine is not indicated in patients with depression (unipolar or clinical depression) unless under the supervision of a health care practitioner as high dosage phosphatidylcholine supplementation has been shown to worsen depression in some cases. Phosphatidylcholine is generally well-tolerated. At higher dosages (i.e. greater than 10 grams) lecithin preparations may cause a reduced appetite nausea abdominal bloating gastrointestinal pain and diarrhea.
Additional Information:
Children: Suitable for children at one-half the adult dosage.
Pregnancy and Nursing: Considered safe during pregnancy and lactation.

Every day, CISR works around the world with post-conflict communities to promote recovery, rebuilding and resilience.
For more than a decade, CISR's staff and network of experts have served practitioners and those affected by conflict and trauma through countless personal exchanges, publications, conferences and trainings, including landmine/UXO management and peer support programs. Since 2010, CISR has expanded its areas of activity to bring innovative and reliable programs and information to more people in more ways. This website is central to all of that growth. Here, you can access our internationally regarded publications, management training workshops, disability rights resources, and peer-support programming. We work with faculty, staff, and students at James Madison University to bring best practices and research to the field.
But more importantly, you can hear the stories of the survivors whom CISR has served. Our staff works closely with partners in Burundi, Colombia, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Rwanda, South Sudan, Uganda, Vietnam and elsewhere to bring integrative approaches and innovative solutions to survivors and their communities. We are proud to call these survivors our colleagues and friends.
As a landmine survivor myself, I understand how challenging recovery is. Whether it's through victim assistance training like our Pathways to Resilience workshop for survivors from Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan and Yemen, our training programs for trauma counselors in Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda and Vietnam, or The Journal of ERW and Mine Action, the long-running source of news from the mine-action field, CISR is committed to standing with communities until peace is achieved.
I could go on, and gladly. But for now, explore our site to learn more about our projects and programs, and see how you can help us improve lives.

History of CISR
CISR was founded in 1996 as the Humanitarian Demining Information Center, and shortly thereafter became the Mine Action Information Center. Our mission was to conduct post-conflict research, education and training on landmine remediation.
The name was changed to the Center for International Stabilization and Recovery (CISR) in 2008 to more effectively implement activities for victims of conflict and trauma.
CISR is located on the campus of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA. JMU is a nationally recognized state university with a student population of about 18,000. CISR is able to access JMU's academic resources and capitalize on its trusted, neutral university status.
The Center develops and executes projects concerning post-conflict recovery efforts around the world through innovative and reliable research, training, information exchange, and direct services. For more information about our specific programs please select PROGRAMS from the navigation to the left.
In 2008, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations recognized JMU as one of 10 U.S. universities uniquely qualified to support State Department and USAID tasks.

SAN ANTONIO -- Cubs fans around the nation are on cloud nine.
San Antonio has its fair share of fanatics, many of which flooded the Wrigleyville Grill on the city's north side looking to grab a Chicago-style hot dog to celebrate both the team and National Sandwich Day.
Since the doors to the restaurant opened, Cubs fans filled the place. As of 3:30 p.m. Thursday, the restaurant posted a sign telling the public they ran out of food because of the rush.
Wednesday night for Game 7, it was standing room only inside Wrigleyville Grill. Fans said the food trays had to crowd surf to get to the owners.
"Whether you win or lose, you're a Cubs fan. Harry Caray up there, he would be so happy. He's celebrating right now with his Cub friends," said Cubs fan, Paul Cubeta from Skokie, IL.
Chicago natives said they're still soaking in the "miracle win."
"The curse is over. It's over, done with, buried eight feet under," Cubeta said.
108 years later, the curse is over.
"I couldn't believe it. I was stunned, I was tearing up. I just wish my dad could have been around," said Cubs fan, Art Perez, who grew up in Chicago.
"I wish my great grandmother was here. I dreamed my entire life for this. 41 years and the Cubs did it," said Cubs fan, Tiffany Smith who also grew up in Chicago.
Smith said she used to work at the McDonald's across from Wrigley Field and would frequently attend games with her grandmother.
Cubs fans also brought signed memorabilia to Wrigleyville. Ken Zielinski brought a signed Ernie Banks picture and baseball along with Cubs trading cards.
"All through high school, I skipped school I don't know how many times to go to the ballpark," Zielinski said.
Others brought in the work-family to celebrate for lunch.
Jeff Frigstab, a Chicago native, paid for lunch for his co-workers in honor of his Cubbies.
"When that game was over and you're just sitting back watching the Cubs celebrate, what goes through your mind?" we asked.
"Wow. Just wow. We won. It's awesome," said Frigstab. "Been a die-hard Cubs fan since I was a little boy. Went to spring training every year."
Even if the home team is 1,200 miles away, one song brings San Antonio Cubs fans back to Wrigley field.
"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" filled the air inside Wrigleyville.
The popular choice off the menu Thursday was the Italian Beef Sandwich.

More than a month after Hurricane Isaac left the Gulf of Mexico Apache Corp. said today it had finally brought all of its production facilities there back online.
Isaac had forced shut downs of nearly all Gulf oil operations and prompted oil companies into a rush to restart facilities after the storm passed at the end of August.
With all of its facilities back online, Houston-based Apache said its worldwide production of fossil fuels is now at an all-time high of almost 800,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
Last year, the company averaged about 737,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
"We remain focused on drilling our extensive inventory of oil and liquids-rich locations as we put the temporary disruptions from August and September behind us," Rodney J. Eichler, Apache's president and chief operating officer, said in a statement.
Although Isaac cut into Apache's production figures for the third quarter of the year by about 12,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, the return of those totals, along with a restart of interrupted operations in the North Sea will boost the company's production in the remainder of the year, according to a company statement.
Maintenance activities in the North Sea had interrupted production there, Apache said.

Treat potentially violent employees with respect during a termination.
Emotions run high. Feelings get hurt. Misunderstandings and anger are common. But a termination shouldn't be dangerous. That's where psychologist and mediator Marc McElhaney comes in: 200 or 300 times a year, he helps HR professionals deal with difficult and potentially violent employees. Some cases involve suicidal, psychopathic or brain-damaged employees; substance abusers; and even those with prison records for murder. The author of Aggression in the Workplace: Preventing and Managing High-Risk Behavior (AuthorHouse, 2004) is president of Critical Response Associates LLC in Atlanta.
How do you define a successful termination?
A successful termination is a safe termination, one where the employer and employees feel safe during and after termination of a high-risk individual. Most workplace violence incidents occur long after the termination, even years later. Before you terminate a high-risk individual, stop and assess the situation.
What is the most common mistake HR professionals make when conducting involuntary terminations?
Acting too quickly, moving forward with the termination of a perceived high-risk employee without stopping and getting some help. It's a team effort. If you have a high-risk individual and you're going toward a high-risk event, you need to slow it down.
What is the procedure for assessing and managing risks?
Gather a team, including representatives from HR, legal and security. You may want to have a third-party consultant meet with the subject employee to stress early on that company officials want to review any concerns the employee may have about not being treated fairly. Throughout the process, actively identify and assess the risks and the needs of the individual. What is driving that person? If we assess well on the front end and address some of the employee's concerns, the employee will leave feeling that he or she was respectfully treated and, therefore, will be less likely to be a risk in the future.
How can HR professionals identify potential high-risk employees?
A high-risk employee makes people feel uncomfortable. Most people have pretty good internal alarm systems and intuitively understand when a person is a risk. But they generally don't report it because it's ambiguous. Compare notes with other people. If you get that uneasy feeling, you need to stop before terminating or disciplining this person. Don't set into motion events you cannot control.
What can an organization do to prevent workplace violence?
Have a policy on workplace violence. Establish a culture that addresses it early. Have a trained threat assessment team within your organization, with individuals capable of handling situations and finding resources. Train HR, security, legal and other personnel to address threats early. Train employees and supervisors to recognize threats and report them. If your employees aren't reporting threats early enough, you can't address them. Finally, any way that you can further the soon-to-be-terminated employee's sense of dignity and control, the better. Act in a respectful way so that when that employee walks out the door, the HR person isn't looking over his or her shoulder every morning.
The interviewer, a former HR generalist and trainer, is a freelance writer in Wixom, Mich.

In 1941, four-time Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Robert Frost, wrote "I had a lover's quarrel with the world." It was from one of his more esoteric poems, "The Lesson for today". The full poem can be found here. The proceeding line, was "I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world." In so many ways, it became the summation of Frost's distinguished life. He was the voice of the American Yankee in the 20th century. Documentary film-maker, Shirley Clarke used the line to entitle her 1962 Academy award winning documentary about Frost, "A Lover's Quarrel with the World" which only enhanced the association of the poetic line to him.
It occurs to me that another transmedia platform never really discussed is the gravestone itself. It's unclear whether Frost truly planned for that last line of "The Lesson of Today" to be his real epitaph when he wrote it; but when Frost died at the age of 88 in 1963, his family had it inscribed on his grave in Bennington, Vermont. It was just above his wife's epitaph, "Wing to wing, Oar to oar". The top of the stone can be seen below:
In musing over that line, I wonder if it isn't the summation of so many of our lives. We fall in love with the world, it becomes our sustenance, our addiction, our endless well of dreams. It disappoints us, he gives us praise, it disgraces us, and makes us victorious, and we look for it , as if a lover, for validation. I had a great love affair with the world; and I put my trust in the world over all things, including God; and then, I had a great quarrel!
I, David Kirkpatrick, was sued four years ago by a Brazilian billionaire. The billionaire went through four years of paperwork…. he buried me and others in paper. He hired and fired 3 different law firms, and poured over 4 million dollars into a suit that had a claim that was half that. He humiliated and punished me and others associated with the suit in the press, even before it ever went to trial. Through the fruit of his endeavor, he brought disgrace, divorce, bankruptcy and a nervous breakdown to us. While I admit there was some culpability in his claims, we lost the case. Part of the reason is we could not possibly match his un-ending guns and money. He put $4 million dollars worth of work on the case; we put up $80,000. In the dark night of the soul, I realized that the world as lover is cold and calculated. We are taught that the fruit of the Spirit is love, gentleness and self control; it doesn't bring punishment, and cruelty. And only God's amazing grace truly sustains.
When I was nine years old, I met Robert Frost for the first time at the 1961 Presidential Inaugural of John Kennedy. I was watching it on "TV". He was the first poet ever to recite a poem at the Presidential inaugural. It has continued ever since as a tradition with Maya Angelou delivering the last one at President Obama's Inaugural. It was a cold and sunny day in 1961 and the 87 year old Frost could not read his poem," Dedication", that he wrote in honor of this special day for he was blinded by the bright sun. He fumpered on the podium because he could not see it and did not know it well. Instead, he recited from memory an oft requested poem, "The Gift Outright."
So as a kid I started to read his poetry. One of his first poem's God's Garden, speaks to the struggle that became prophetic in Frost's life : his struggle between the world and God. And of course, one of his most famous poems, The Road Not Taken includes the legendary conclusion, "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Of course Jesus references that the only way to God is on the narrow, less traveled road.
In the poem that he wrote for the inaugural that was never delivered, he brings up the dawn of a new time in the ages where God looked upon the proceedings and saw that "It was good." (A copy of the poem in its entirety is attached below)
In the end, we lost the trial and have been found guilty. It is a sad and painful time. I am struck but the insanity of it all: the justice can be about the show in the courtroom and money buys a very good show. We can seek the justice from men in the cities that they build in the world and we can often be disappointed. God does promise a different kingdom, and a different resolve.
I took the road less traveled but it has not kept me completely from wrestling with the world.
Like frost, I, David Kirkpatrick " had a lover's quarrel with the World."

I have always found it funny that everyone in central Pennsylvania runs to the grocery store to stockpile bread, milk, and eggs before a snow storm. It's somewhat ridiculous, because it's very rare that we get snowed in for more than a day or two… I'm pretty sure a gallon of milk and one carton of eggs would do it. But, I've seen grocery carts loaded up with three times that.
I always wonder what everyone is making with their stockpile of bread, milk, and eggs… I figure they must really love French toast. After all, what else do you make with bread, milk, and eggs? So, it's become somewhat of a tradition at my house to make French toast for breakfast when it snows. It's our little way of poking fun at all of the over-preparedness for a pending snowpocalypse.
A week or two ago, there was snow in the forecast over night. So, I told my hubby I'd make French toast for breakfast the next morning… Naturally, the next morning, when we woke up, and there wasn't a flake in sight. That is also pretty typical for this area. The local news gets all hyped up about a blizzard, and we are lucky to get an inch or two. Perhaps some of their advertising money comes from the producers of bread, milk, and eggs?
Despite the lack of snow, I decided that we would still have French toast for breakfast. After all, I didn't want to disapoint my hubby! (If I am being completely honest, I have to admit that I, too, wanted French toast for breakfast.) Of course, as it turns out, I hadn't been to the grocery store in a few days, and we were running a bit low on milk (go figure!). I did have some eggnog hanging out in the fridge, though, (I have recently become obsessed with eggnog lattes), so I decided to just go with it.
The resulting eggnog French toast was delightfully festive, but not so different that my eggnog-hating husband realized what secret ingredient I had added. It was easy to make and a nice treat on a cold (albeit snow-free) morning. It's a great way to get rid of some extra eggnog, if you have it hanging around after your Christmas get together… Or, I think it'd be a fantastic addition to your Christmas brunch. I think I'll be making it again soon, snow or no snow!
Eggnog French Toast
(Makes approximately 10-12 slices)
- 1/2 cup eggnog
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 10 – 12 thick slices of crusty bread
(will depend on the size of your slices)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Cinnamon sugar for sprinkling (optional)
- Maple syrup (optional)
Whisk together the eggnog, milk, eggs, and cinnamon. Dredge the slices of bread in the mixture, giving bread time to soak up the liquid.
Meanwhile, preheat a skillet to medium heat and melt the butter in the skillet. Transfer the soaked bread slices to the skillet. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired, and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Flip the slices of bread, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Serve warm, topped with maple syrup, or your favorite French toast toppings.

It's hard to believe that it was two years ago when I first talked about calabacitas and introduced you to my Calabacitas Enchiladas. As much as I make calabacitas in one form or another, I'm surprised I don't have this website full of squash, corn and green chile recipes. Well, let's fix that shall we. The other day on my weekly visit to the Nob Hill Growers' Market I picked up some beautiful young leeks, a few yellow squash and some sweet corn (the first I've seen this season). All I needed now was green chile. July is still a little early for fresh green chile, but I did have some in the freezer. Therefore, because the cooler weather and rain (finally!), it just felt right to turn such a beautiful bounty into a fresh Calabacitas Chowder.
For this calabacitas chowder, the squash is used as the base by cooking it the way my mother use to cook it, until it is pretty much mush. Once cooked, the squash is pureed with a little water. The leeks are sauteed in olive oil and added to the pureed squash along with corn and green chile. A little milk (or milk substitute) and some herbs and spices are added for a delicious sweet and spicy calabacitas chowder. Top with crumbled bacon or chopped avocado (whichever you prefer), and serve a few tortilla chips on the side.
Calabacitas Chowder
White Sweet Corn from Wagner Farms, Corrales, NM
A late summer, early fall chowder made with leeks, summer squash, corn and roasted green chile.
"*" See Kitchen Notes for more information or links to special ingredients.
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 medium summer squash (yellow or zucchini), coarsely chopped
- 4 large cloves garlic, chopped
- ¼ tsp. cumin-coriander spice mix
- 2 cups water and more as needed
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 3 young leeks or 1 medium leek, about 1 cup chopped, whites chopped
- 2 ears sweet corn, shucked and cleaned
- ¼ to ½ cup roasted, green chile, finely chopped
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 1 cup half and half or dairy substitute
- 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
- Chopped scallions
- Chopped cilantro or parsley
- Crispy bacon, crumbled
- Chopped Avocado
- Grated cheddar or Monterey Jack Cheese
Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, add the squash and saute' for about 5 minutes. If squash starts to brown on the edges, reduce heat.
After 5 minutes, add the garlic, reduced heat to medium low and saute' another 5 minutes.
Add 2 cups water and the spice mix. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the squash is translucent, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Transfer to a large bowl (for immersion blender) or to a blender. Blend the squash to a puree'. It should be pretty thick.
While the squash is cooking, chopped the leeks and set aside.
Prepare the corn by cutting the kernels off the cobs, then using the back of a knife or a flat edged spoon, scape the cob to extract as much corn and corn milk as possible. Set aside.
Dice the roasted green chile. Set aside.
Once the squash is done and has been transferred into another dish, add 1 Tbsp. oil to the soup pot. When the oil is hot, add the leeks and saute' over a low heat for about 10 minutes or until soft.
Add the corn and saute' 2 minutes.
Add the pureed squash to the leeks and corn. Add another ½ cup liquid. Soup should still be rather thick. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes or until the corn is cooked.
Removed from the heat and add the green chile, half and half, and fresh herbs. Stir to combine. If chowder is still too thick, add more liquid ¼ cup at a time, until a desired thickness.
Taste. Add more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate overnight.
Calabacitas – Calabacitas is a traditional New Mexico early fall dish of summer squashes, corn, and green chile. Some versions add tomatoes and others add cheese.
The Squash – Any summer squash or combination of summer squash can be used. I prefer yellow squash or one yellow squash and one zucchini. When cooking the squash, be sure to cook it until it is translucent and soft, and blend it long enough for a nice puree'. It makes a great base for this soup because it is extremely flavorful and yields a wonderful texture. If you don't like squash, I can guarantee that you'll still love this dish. It's not the least bit "squashy".
Corn -Use fresh corn (cut right off the cob), frozen or canned, whatever you have on hand. Fresh white sweet corn is absolutely delicious!
Green Chile – There is no substitute for New Mexico's roasted, chopped green chile; however, if you can't stand the heat or you don't have green chile, then just roast up a couple of poblanos, or red or green bell pepper. You won't get the heat with the bell pepper, but the flavor will still be quite good.
Leeks – If you don't have leeks, you can substitute onion or a combination of leeks, onions, shallots, scallions – any of it works.
Cream – Half and half or a milk substitute like almond or soy milk are best. Anything thicker, like cream or evaporated milk yields too heavy of a chowder.
Toppings – You really don't need much. I usually go for color and texture like some chopped parsley, bacon, and / or chopped avocado. A drizzle of chile infused oil works quite well.
Tortilla chips on the side makes a great complement and like most chowders, can be crumbled on top like crackers. They add a crunchy texture to this creamy calabacitas chowder.

The Austrian has 17 months remaining on his current deal and recent speculation has suggested the conversations have hit a wall.
But the former Norwich manager played down the validity of the rumours, assuring fans that everything is normal and pointing out there are more important things to be worrying about with the Midlands club stuck in a relegation battle.
|Villa are 6/1 with Bet365 to finish bottom of the Premier League this season
"Have contract talks stalled? No, we are still talking. I've spoken to him and everything is fine. Talks are ongoing but that's normal when you are trying to negotiate.
"Andi loves it here. I've spoken to him. I think there are more important things at this moment in time than worrying about contracts.
"He's still under contract so at the minute it's fine. I don't think he'll walk away. I don't. I think everyone knows agents can inflate people's salaries."
The 21-year-old, who has played for his country from Under-17s upwards, moved to Villa Park from Rapid Vienna as a youth player in 2007 and has netted 10 goals across all competitions this season.
The attacker faces a tough test if he is to add to that tally in the club's next league match on Monday night, though, with Lambert's men playing host to second-placed Manchester City.

Students who currently reside in the residence halls are sent
information in mid-March about the hall sign-up process. This is a time
where you will be able to select the room you will live in for the
following fall. You will be given priority in retaining your current
room and opportunities to choose other rooms across campus.
You will need to make a $125 housing prepayment for the next year
before you select a room for the upcoming fall, so budget accordingly.
(The $125 prepayment you made for this year is applied to your spring
housing costs for this year.)
If you do not apply for housing during the timeframe set for
returning students, you are still welcome to apply. However, in
fairness to all, you will then be assigned by the computer to a room.
If you are a student who is living off-campus (either as a commuter
or an older student) and would like to move onto campus either during
the semester or for the next semester, please contact us
for specific information on the application process. There are
opportunities during each of our sign-up timelines when you may choose a
room for the next semester.
Individuals interested in residing in the Suites@201 must
have graduated from high school two or more years prior to the fall
they plan to live in the building. Sign-up begins in February.
Students interested in Hyer Hall register for housing beginning in mid-February.
Room changes are made during weeks 2 and 7 of each semester. There is also the opportunity to make a room change at the end of the fall semester for the spring semester.
Single rooms are available each semester on a space-available basis. This determination is made during week 3 of every semester.

Experimental Investigations Regarding the Use of Sand as an Inhibitor of Air Convection in Deep Seismic Boreholes
Open-File Report 98-362
- By:
- L. Gary Holcomb , Leo Sandoval , and Bob Hutt
- Documents:
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
AbstractINTRODUCTION Tilt has been the nemesis of horizontal long period seismology since its inception. Modern horizontal long period seismometers with their long natural periods are incredibly sensitive to tilt. They can sense tilts smaller than 10 -11 radians. To most readers, this is just a very very small number, so we will begin with an example, which should help to illustrate just how small 10 -11 radians is. Suppose we have an absolutely rigid rod which is approximately 4170 kilometers long; this just happens to be the Rand McNally map scaled crow flight distance between Los Angeles and Boston. Tilting this rod 10 -11 radians corresponds to raising one end of the rod 0.0000417 meters. Alas, this is just another very very small number! However, this corresponds to slipping a little less than one third a sheet of ordinary copying paper under one end of this perfectly rigid rod. To clarify, we mean, take a sheet of paper just like the paper this report is printed on and split it a little less than one third in the thickness direction, then put it under the end of the 4170 kilometer long rod! This will tilt the rod 10 -11 radians. Real world seismometers are nowhere near the length of this rod. A KS-54000 is about two meters long. Tilting a rod only two meters long 10 -11 radians corresponds to moving one end of this rod a mere 0.00000000002 meters or 0.02 millimicrons. As one of the authors old math teachers used to say, 'That's PDS' (PDS = Pretty Damn Small). Unfortunately, the long period seismologist does not have the luxury of ignoring PDS numbers when it suits him as the mathematician frequently does. He must live in the real world in which tilts this small create severe contamination of long period seismic data. At periods longer than 20 seconds, tilt noise contaminates the long period data from all instruments installed on or near the earth's surface. Many years of experimentation revealed that installing the sensors at depth in deep mines drastically reduced the level of tilt noise in long period data. However, low levels of tilt noise persisted even at great depth; this noise was caused by air convection in the vault in which the sensors were installed. Over the years, methods were developed to control the air motion with mechanical barriers (boxes) around the sensors and by stratifying (creating a situation in which the air temperature increases with height) the air in the vault near the seismometer. These methods decreased tilt noise in deep mines to very low levels. However, deep mines, that are economically and environmentally suitable and accessible to seismology, are not plentiful and are not evenly distributed over the earth's surface. Therefore, the borehole deployable Teledyne Geotech KS-36000 and later the KS-54000 sensor systems were developed to fulfill the need for instruments that could be installed at depth wherever high quality long period data was desired. Early in the development program, it became evident to the Teledyne Geotech personnel that air convection within the borehole was going to be a significant problem in KS deployments. Experimental and theoretical investigations conducted by Teledyne Geotech (see Douze and Sherwin, 1975, and Sherwin and Cook, 1976) produced a list of recommended installation procedures for reducing the effects of air convection. These procedures consisted of wrapping the sensor in a relatively thin layer of foam insulation, filling the free space volume in the vicinity of the centralizer-bail assembly with foam insulation, and the installation of styrofoam hole plugs immediately above the cable strain relief assembly at the top of the sensor package and at the top of the borehole. This technology has performed quite satisfactorily for over 20 years but evidence of tilt noise in the system output has persisted throughout the KS deployment program (the evidence was that the horizontal components were usually noisier than the vertical components) even in deep b

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=19267 --- Comment #1 from Michael Kay <email@example.com> 2012-10-04 14:55:52 UTC --- A follow-up question. Suppose a library module has declare context item external; and the main module has declare context item := 23; Now if no external context item is supplied, it is clear that the context item in both modules should take the value 23. But what if an external context item is supplied, say 87? The rules for "declare context item external" suggest that the value should be 87, but the rules for "declare context item := 23" suggest it should be 23. But it must (I hope) be the same everywhere. Logic dictates, I think, that the value 23 wins; this reflects the interpretation that when we say the value is "supplied by the external environment" we include the case where it is supplied by the main module. -- Configure bugmail: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.Received on Thursday, 4 October 2012 14:55:59 UTC

Re: Is it time to revisit the hair/beard policy
I appreciate the Yankees keeping this tradition going. We are losing touch with what made the game what it is today and what teams like the Yankees have done.
Clean shaven and short hair. How terrible! There are no negatives to the Yankees having this policy and enforcing it. I say "Thank You" to the Yankees.
It ties into pride and tradition. I guarantee that the overwhelming majority of Yankee players past and present appreciate this policy.
I cringe when I watch an NBA game and see the tattoos and hair styles. There is a player (name unknown) who has a hair style that looks like the brim of a cap! NHL playoffs is like "cavemen on ice". Football may come up with a rule preventing the "Predator" type hair styles as one grab of hair by a pursuing player may break the runner's neck.
I wish someone on the Yankees would tell Pineda to wear his hat properly..............

Re: Is it time to revisit the hair/beard policy
Long hair and facial hair is also a part of some cultures or religions. I know it would probably never happen, but theoretically, what if there was a Sikh player who was considering going to the Yankees. Sikh believe in never cutting their hair, including facial hair, because it goes against their religious belief that it would alter the perfection of what God had created. Even Judaism and Islam have some beliefs regarding the importance of facial hair.
And I haven't seen it mentioned, but I feel like baseball players are the most superstitious of any professional athlete. Why force them to change something that they might feel like is bringing them success?
It's probably also affected the Yankees with some free agents. David Price had famously stated he would never play for the organization because of this dumb policy. What if Bryce Harper feels the same way? He's gonna be offered a boatload of money by more teams than just the Yankees, so what if this is what puts him over the top and decide on another team instead?

We've been talking a lot about policy semantics, but we haven't talked much about syntax. It seems like the two main things we'd like to get out of the syntax are: 1) Compactness. Policies should be short. 2) Legibility. It should be easy for humans to read and author policies. 3) Extensibility. We'd like a flexible syntax that we can extend for many years to come. The current syntax seems to be something like the following: policy = directive *( ";" directive ) directive = *LWS directive-name 1*LWS directive-value directive-name = <CHAR, except LWS and ";"> directive-value = <CHAR, except ";"> Is that right? Another alternative is something like JSON, which is compact and extensible, but might not be sufficiently legible: Content-Security-Policy: {"script-src": ["example.com", "*.paypalobjects.com"]} The main benefit of JSON is that its familiar to web developers and extends nicely to more complex directives: Content-Security-Policy: {"script-src": ["example.com", "*.paypalobjects.com"], "object-type": {"application/java": ["*.sun.com"], "application/pdf: ["*.amazonaws.com", "assets.example.com"]}} AdamReceived on Tuesday, 1 February 2011 19:00:32 UTC

1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980
Plays staged between 1971 and 1980
One of the theatre adaptations of The Master and Margarita which is still getting sold out today, dates back to the 70s. It's the renowned adaptation created by Yuri Lyubimov (1917-2014) for the Taganka theatre in Moscow.
This was, however, not the first time the novel by Bulgakov was staged. Long before Yuri Lyubimov premiered his theatrical adaptation on April 1, 1977, the story of The Master and Margarita had already been on scene four times, each time in Poland. The first creation dates from 1971, five years after the first publication of the novel.
Remarkably, the first versions avoided to use The Master and Margarita as a title for the representation. The first theatrical version was called Czarna magia oraz jak ją zdemaskowano (Black magic and its unmasking), followed by Czarna magia (Black Magic), Czy pan widział Poncjusza Piłata? (Have you seen Pontius Pilate?) And Pacjenci (Patients). In the early '80s, the title Poncjusz Piłat piąty procurator Judei (Pontius Pilate, the fifth procurator of Judea) was used.
In the '70s, The Master and Margarita could almost exclusively be seen on stages in the Soviet Union and Poland. Exception to this rule was the series of 24 performances in the New York Public Theater from November 15 to December 3, 1978, directed by the Romanian Andrei Şerban. The American organizers were not so well informed about what had happened before on the other side of the Iron Curtain though, since they announced their representation as «a world premiere of an original adaptation of a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov». Besides, six months before, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1977, the University of Bradford Drama Group had already performed Satan's Ball, an adaptation written by Richard Crane and directed by his wife Faynia Williams. It won the Scotsman Fringe First Award that year.

Toxin Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Source Many analgesics, fever medications, and anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, Nuprin, Vick's DayQuil), indomethacin, piroxicam (Feldene), phenylbutazone (Bute and Butazolidin), and naproxen (Naprosyn and Aleve). Veterinary NSAIDs include products such as aspirin, carprofen (Rimadyl), ketoprofen, deracoxib (Deramaxx), meloxicam (Metacam), tepoxalin (Zubrin), and etodolac (EtoGesic).
General Information Always check with your veterinarian before giving any medication to your pet. Many medications available for human use are dangerous to pets. The NSAIDs are an example of this, especially in cats. NSAIDs decrease production of substances that protect the stomach and GI tract from the acid and reduce blood flow to the area. This can cause ulceration and perforation of the stomach or intestines. NSAIDs also decrease the blood flow to the kidneys causing damage and renal failure. Phenylbutazone may also cause liver damage.
Toxic Dose Varies with each medication and species. Example: Ibuprofen is toxic at 22-50 mg per pound of body weight.
Signs Abdominal pain, anemia, blood in the stool (blood may be digested so the stool appears black and tarry), vomiting with or without blood, lethargy, ataxia, stupor, and shock if perforation has occurred.
Immediate Action Induce vomiting. Seek veterinary attention.
Veterinary Care General treatment: The induction of vomiting may be continued, gastric lavage is performed, and activated charcoal is administered.
Supportive treatment: IV fluids are administered to try to protect the kidneys and treat for shock. Medications such as Sucralfate and misoprostol are administered in an effort to try to prevent formation of gastric ulcers. Repeated blood tests will be performed to monitor the function of kidneys and liver.
Specific treatment: Unavailable.
Prognosis Guarded to poor.
Keep this and all other medications out of the reach of children and pets.
If you think your pet has been poisoned...
Contact your veterinarian or one of the Animal Poison Hotlines (listed below) if you think your pet may have accidentally received or been given an overdose of the medication.

Wednesday was a fairly atypical day for me, I was interviewed by the Argentine journalist Sebastian Hacher (google the dude to see some of his works) about the life of an online poker professional. I gave the interview in my finest Spang-lish, so wasn't able to express myself as fully as I'd liked.
I think Sebastian was more interested in the travelling aspect of my chosen career, but I'm keen to see the final version of our discussion (should be YouTubed initially) and if any of it makes it to the press (Clarin are interested...if I understood him correctly).
Anyway, Sebastian was a great guy....if you read this, it was a pleasure to meet you and good luck with this project and with future works.

Labels are Just not Brands, But Much More Than We Can Think About
There are different types of name labels for kids, starting form school labels to personal labels. Name labels for kids are very necessary for it helps them to track their misplaced items, and helps replace them accordingly. If one is creative enough can make gorgeous name labels for kids too. They can be made bright and big, easy to read, and with lots of fun icons attached around. There are many innovative labels available for kids, if they are to be used on kids items, like their rock shoes, geometry box, or even around their pencils and pens.
Madagascar can be very much highlighted in this case, since there is an animated film named Madagascar, and the cartoon characters are quite in a go there. There are some little girls who love having labels of kitchen appliances all around their belongings. You readers will not believe, me being a lecturer, still love stickers of dolls and cartoon characters around my belongings, like the college files and registers, along with my name. But what ever the fact may be, having innovative name labels for kids is something joyous. It brings colors and smile to your face on seeing it.
The next is the kids clothing labels, which learns us about the brand, and the name of the brands reveals the quality of the clothes. One should note the kids clothing labels very minutely, for their clothes are not actually meant for fashion with vibrant colours, but to keep then dry, warm and safe, according to the climatic conditions. The kids clothing labels talks about the basic difference in the standard of the clothes, and which lies in the manufacturer's usage of the textiles and the fabrics.
Any known branded house, is very particular regarding the clothing labels for kids. The branded clothes are normally all around the international market, yes but agreed that according to the grade the garment gets its market. For example, for me. Ginny Johnny is the best amongst many kids garments, but I know, the grade that USA avails, is much higher than India does, but never the less clothing labels for kids matters.
By now cloth labels and it's importance is very well understood, but what I was hunting for quite few days is what does custom clothing labels really mean. I hunted through the net; I visited garment stores to get the correct meaning of the same, but landed up, with no satisfactory answer. It was in the library I got the answer, a quick one though. In few brands (the top brands specially), there are more than couple of tags, which goes as bunch of labels, namely the Levis, Denims, Neomerino, and in kids clothing like mom and me, first cry, mother care, many such has couple of tags, known as custom name labels. There is the manufacturing house tag, then the fabric details tag, followed by the washing detail tags, and a hard paper tag, which prints the statistics review of customer's preferences.

Wow— just another of so many conspiracy twists to the JFK assassination. I used to think some were valid but now it seems that Oswald the Castro supporter and marxist just had an evil thought and opportunity to do the dirty deed himself on JFK.
. The 'now it seems' is first clue to this 'smoke/mirrors' portrayal of Oswald. Closer to 'truth' as a conspiratorial effort, on behalf of rogue CIA; meshed with Castro and Texas politics. (And yes, the anti -communist radical right who at that time, per their geography; were Democrats.
. Stay with your first instincts...As to 'foreign influences' - another interesting twist, perhaps.
Wish those investigating Obama, would get as much attention...

Inventory Control, Order or Sales Problems
If you are having problems with inventory quantities not decrementing, or if orders are not showing up in the site builder orders area, please check the following:
Mals: Check your setup at Mals:
HTTP Call: The HTTP call must be set up in Mals for the inventory control and order tracking to work.
- URL: In the URL field, add website/go/finish.php (note: no http://). You can also use the direct IP address to the site (ie. 123.456.789.012/~client/go/finish.php)
- Method: Select POST for the method.
- Debug: In the HTTP call area of Mals, check the 'debug' box only if you have problems with the inventory control and want to track whether Mals is processing the call. Do not keep the debug checked permanently.
PayPal Setup: Make sure that you enter the PayPal email and then:
- Under 'Website Standard', select the second option: 'return the customer back to the cart. See the notes below...'.
- Select the IPN box. (If you do not, a customer can close the window and it won't post back.)
Email Settings: If you are still having problems with inventory and are not getting debugs, try changing your email address in Mals, especially if you are using an AOL email or a free email like Hotmail. If you are using a domain email or another email that resides on the same server that the site is on, it may be that the server is not processing calls. Try using a gmail email, at least temporarily, which seems to work very reliably.
After changing your email, if you receive debug messages from Mals that read 'Connection failed: Couldn't resolve host' there may be an issue on your web host's server that is not allowing remote processes. Ask them to check to see if remote scripts can be processed; they may need to tweak settings in the exim server settings.
Payment: If the client with issues is only using PayPal as a payment type, we strongly suggest temporarily adding a payment type like Money Orders to see if the process goes through. If that test goes through but the PayPal process does not, you can focus on the PayPal connection pieces only.
PayPal: Please note that if you want to use PayPal as a payment type, you must use a business account if you want to automate inventory control or log orders and sales. Personal accounts can be used with the cart, but the inventory control and order tracking will not work!
Auto Return: If you are using PayPal as a payment type, you must turn the 'Auto Return' setting on. This automates the return back to Mals after a customer pays via PayPal. (If this setting is turned off, the cart will require the customer to push a button to go back to the cart, and not all customers will do this.)
Thank You Page: The Auto Return setting requires a thank you page to return to after the payment is made. Mals creates a page automatically and submits it without any effort on your part. However, if you plan to use PayPal for any other reason, you will need to make a thank you page on your site. Create the page, following PayPal's thank you page rules (shown on the auto return setting page) and enter the URL in the space provided in PayPal.
Limitations: Please note that the Little Fish eCart system's inventory control system decreases inventory automatically, if set up properly. It will also discourage a customer from ordering more than is available. However, it is not designed as a method to limit quantities for one of a kind items. Because the system uses a third party cart in Mals, we cannot guarantee that a customer will not try to change the quantity within Mals or otherwise try to order more than is available.
In addition, Mals does not support every payment processor, so it is possible that the http call system may not work properly with your payment processor. Please check the processor list at Mals to make sure inventory control will work on your site - if your processor does not have a check under 'HTTP Call', the inventory system will not work with that processor.

Not Your Average Saint
I can't claim to know a lot about religion. My time spent in Sunday school and in various pews is far in the past. But I'm relatively certain about one thing when it comes to Catholicism: There are saints for everything. You can pray to the saint of travelers, the saint of sailors, the saint of animals, and yes, even the saint of dental diseases (it's St. Apollonia, in case you're curious and/or in need). But Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's PREACHER has a different sort of saint, one you won't discover in your Patron Saints 101 class—The Saint of Killers.
