Each September, The Chestnut Hill Local showcases new programs, people and projects area schools awaiting their students each school year. This is the third article featuring local schools.
The Waldorf School of Philadelphia
Yes, it is true, The Waldorf School of Philadelphia (WSP), currently residing on the New Covenant Campus in Mt. Airy, is moving to 6000 Wayne Avenue in Germantown in September 2014. This is the former location of St. Peter's Episcopal Church. The groundbreaking ceremony is at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19. All are welcome.
"The renovation of our new home shows what can be achieved when communities pull together," said Alexandra Borders, director of admissions. "The project has been years in the making and has taken many conversations, chiefly between the Episcopal diocese, [developer] Ken Weinstein and WSP leadership," she said.
This is a story of reuse, repurposing and the development of a disused urban building. The property contains a Gothic stone church, chapel, rectory and parish house designed and built between 1873 and 1883 by Frank Furness and George Hewitt. The beauty of the property aligns with the aesthetics of Waldorf Education.
The Wayne Avenue location is surrounded by wooded outdoor spaces, steps from Fairmount Park, and is geographically located at the center of where WSP current and prospective families reside. The structures and the grounds, once walked upon by Walt Whitman, will give WSP the space to grow physically and programmatically.
The only Waldorf school in the city, WSP is in its 16th year and currently has 200 students from nursery through 8th grade. Like many local schools, WSP will be expanding its early childhood program by adding one classroom in 2014.
Community members are invited to participate in the Ode to Joy Ride on Sunday, Oct. 13 at 9 a.m., honoring the late Lewis Smith, a beloved WSP parent. Funds raised will help to support the sustainability of WSP. On Nov. 8 through Nov. 10 WSP hosts its third annual pop-up store – the venue for this year's store is Pageant: Soloveev on Bainbridge Street in Center City.

St. Genevieve's School
Very happy and eager kindergartners are greeted each morning by Sister Theresa Maugle, SSJ, principal at St. Gen's. This warm greeting is a routine that Maugle has been following for years, but this school year there are twice as many five-year-olds to greet.
St. Gen's expanded its kindergarten program to two classes. The new kindergarten teacher is Allison Razzano. Her students enjoy a full-day program (7:45 a.m.-2:30 p.m.),which follows the 21st century learning based on Common Core Standards. Kindergarteners, as well as every student (K-8) at St Gen's, learns in a classroom equipped with SmartBoards and other technology.
Other new faculty members at St. Gen's include Joseph Crane, science teacher for grades 6-7-8 and Christie Schmidt, grade 5 teacher.
Students are busy with academic coursework but also participate in extracurricular activities such as CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) sports, student council, robotics, Techmates, band, choral, Junior Science Club, and SGS Buzz. These are beginning to get organized and underway for the 2013-14 year.
The children aren't the only busy ones. Parent committees are underway and working hard to support the school. These include the Home and School Association, Marketing Committee, Grant Writing, Finance Council, and the Development and Advisory Council.

In the past couple of weeks, we have witnessed an unprecedented amount of media coverage on Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT). Over time, the American people have come to understand the ramifications of the military ban and its devastating impact on our armed forces, through stories from the service members affected by it. I had the distinct privilege of assisting one of those soldiers, helping to share her story. Today, with her permission, I'm exclusively sharing her final words on the matter before her discharge under the DADT policy next Tuesday. A little bit of background - On January 28, I received a touching email from a woman by the name of Sandy Tsao. She identified herself as a Chinese American Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, based in Missouri, who had made the brave decision to come out as a gay woman. She had met with her commanding officer to share the news, even though she was aware that the conversation would cause an end to her service. In her first email to me, she wrote:
Besides God, being able to serve and being myself are the most important things to me... I am all sincerely yours just let me know what I need to do.She also wrote a letter to President Obama, pleading for him to repeal the military ban so she continue to serve her country. On January 29, she had emailed me that the White House received her letter and it was under review. She also wrote:
"I sincerely appreciate your help and your team's hard work. I have signed my paperwork today for the charges and will be beginning my case shortly. Thank you for keeping my personal information confidential, I only want myself to be solely responsible in anything that may happen should the outcome be negative."With Sandy's approval, we began pitching her personal story to national media outlets with strong records of coverage on Don't Ask, Don't Tell. But we didn't receive a single reply. So we took her story to Asian Pacific Islander media outlets, leading to major hits in The World Journal, a Chinese language daily newspaper and Audrey, a magazine for Asian American women. In her Audrey op-ed, she explained the reasons for coming out and why she wanted to continue serving her country. Sandy also shared her story with The Windy City Times that resulted in their reporting here. On April 30, Quinnipiac conducted a national poll, with 60% of participants agreeing that not allowing openly gay men and women to serve in the military is discrimination. Public opinion over DADT was on Sandy's side.
"I received this on Cinco de Mayo. Cried when I got it. Anyway, please do as you please with it. Just wanted to give you the heads up."In January, Obama spokesperson Robert Gibbs reiterated that then President-elect Obama would end Don't Ask, Don't Tell. President Obama's personal reply to Sandy served as another strong piece of evidence that he planned to keep his previous campaign promise to repeal the ban. With Sandy's permission, I wrote a blog post last week about her story and the letter from President Obama. The post sparked nationwide coverage of Sandy's story and the military ban. Top television news shows including MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show and ABC's This Week With George Stephanopoulos featured the topic of GLAAD's post as the lead story. The Windy City Times also continued with their great coverage. The blog post was featured and linked to by a host of influential print and digital outlets including Reuters, The Huffington Post, Politico, St. Louis Dispatch, Atlanta Journal Constitution and Mother Jones. The post was also reported on Memeorandum.com as one of the most popular news memes on the Internet. A flurry of media requests poured in from news shows, newspapers and magazines interested in interviewing Sandy. I called her to discuss the possibility of her participation, but she politely declined and promised that she would mail a letter explaining her reasons why.
"Gift for Andy. I hope this will help you in the mission."While Sandy has declined future media appearances, she has offered up one last piece of commentary through her letter to me. She has given GLAAD exclusive permission to share her thoughts.
"I will need a couple month's time to get my affairs together after I am officially discharged from the army. In addition, an engineering curriculum requires extensive preparation in order to build a good foundation in math and physics if one hopes to succeed in it. This is my #2 dream job so I want to give it my all."She also wrote:
"I have strong feelings to contribute to society by being a part of a profession that will welcome my services without hindering my ability to love someone openly. Thank you again for keeping me abreast with all the voicemail messages and emails. You are truly a Godsend."Sandy closed her letter with the simple sentence (emphasis mine):
"To equality for all."Any rational person can understand why Sandy has decided to take time for herself. Next Tuesday, May 19, she will officially be discharged from the US Army, for simply wanting to uphold the military values of integrity and honesty by serving as an openly gay woman. It is on that day the United States government will take away her #1 dream job. Instead of honoring Sandy for her service, she has been forced to let go of a dream that defined her very character. It is only natural that Sandy would need time to mourn this loss and try to plan for her future. With this blog post, I hope I am able to share another side of Don't Ask, Don't Tell that people often forget - the lives that must be rebuilt and the dreams that must be forgotten. Similarly, I hope Sandy's story, and other like it, will resonate and continue to be shared. The brave men and women of our armed forces deserve nothing less. First Lieutenant Dan Choi who has been an outspoken advocate on repealing DADT. If Dan is discharged, he will become the first Arabic linguist to be fired as a result of coming out as a gay man. Keep in mind, Dan's specialty in Arabic has been noted as a language priority for our national security alongside Farsi, Korean and Mandarin. Dan will join the 12,500 other men and women who have been discharged under Don't Ask, Don't Tell. A Blue Ribbon Commission Report found that discharging openly lesbian, gay or bisexual people in the military cost $363.8 million dollars spread over ten years. On Tuesday, May 12, the now White House spokesperson Robert Gibbs at the press briefing repeated President Obama's commitment to repealing the ban but through legislative means. Connecting the dots for people on the personal nature of Don't Ask, Don't Tell remains a top priority for GLAAD. We will continue to encourage media outlets to examine and scrutinize the debate around the reasons for delaying a repeal of the military ban. Further, we will make a concerted effort to work alongside our partners, introduce new voices into the conversation and ensure media are equipped with the resources to report on this critical issue. On a personal note, Sandy and I remain in touch even though she has stepped away from the public eye to focus on her rebuilding her life. I am honored that she has given me her handwritten letter from President Obama, but I only consider it to be on loan. It is my hope that in the very near future, I'll be getting a phone call from Sandy. I'm hoping on that call she'll be asking me to send this gift back. I'm hoping to hear her say how proud she is that her commander in chief has fulfilled his commitment to her, like she had bravely fulfilled her committment to our counrty. And I'll know that it was stories like Sandy's and Dan's that helped moved a country, to move a President, to move the most powerful military in the world "to equality for all."

New Tamari Lite 50% Less Sodium Gluten Free Soy Sauce is a product for gluten-free consumers concerned about sodium content. This variety is naturally brewed for up to six months with non-genetically modified soybeans and no wheat.

This new better-for-you version functions as a marinade for poultry, meat, seafood, vegetables and tofu, and can be used in stir-fry, rice or noodle dishes, as a flavor enhancer in soups and sauces, and as a condiment.
The company is also rolling out gluten-free Mongolian Beef Stir-Fry and Marinade Sauce. This is the seventh flavor to a line-up that already includes Teriyaki, Szechuan, Asian BBQ, Thai Peanut, Sweet and Tangy, and Orange Sauce. Since March 2011, after some reformulating, all of the company's soy sauces and cooking sauces have been certified gluten free and have received countless awards in gluten-free product competitions.

University Life - Part 2
10 comments:

I genuinely can relate to the dislike of "group work." I hated it too. I generally took it upon myself to do the whole thing and then let the other group members sign on to it. This tack, unfortunately, made me a very popular person to be assigned to a group.
I can also relate to the perfection angle. I wrote my 90+ page Master's thesis on a typewriter. If I made a mistake on the last line of a page, I would rip the page out, wad it up and start from the top again. Since I'm not a perfect typist, I ripped up many a page.

Hey, I've been lurking your blog for quite some time, I'm only coming out of the shadows because what you've said about university has totally hit a chord within me.
I had a much similar experience with university, in fact I'm still having it, as I haven't graduated yet. (I'm studying psychology by the way).
I started with computer science and failed miserably, dropped out after only two months, then spent the rest of that year and the next trying to get my life in order, or as close as possible, the only thing that finally gave me enough confidence to go back to Uni, was that I enrolled in French classes at the Maison de France and was placed with adults only. Which was brilliant.
The only two exceptions were these two guys, friends to each other, that picked on me really badly over my eccentricities, until one day another classmate told them to cut it off. As it turned out my saviour was my uncle's old classmate at junior school and recognised my name, so he decided to step in and take me under his wing.
I already got rambly, sorry, I just wanted to tell you that so far I've really liked your series on University life, they sound pretty familiar to me.
At first the worse was getting organised and talking to others, group work is still hard, but I now have a somewhat close group of people I work very well with. What really kills me, though, is picking up a book and reading for my class, as in, when I'm obligated to do so, unless I really like the subject, I don't do that much studying out of going to class. Papers and reports are a different story, though, I love doing those.

I can relate to most of this, but saying that Sociology isn't for aspies is a pretty blanket statement.
I excelled at Sociology. Even if I don't tend to understand most people in a face-to-face sort of way, I have always been fascinated by human interaction, which I have always credited for my ability to blend when I am forced to be in groups, even though group situations take a lot of of me and I need days to recover from them.
Maybe this is a gender difference thing. I don't claim to know.

- Gavin Bollard said...
Good point Serena and thank you for picking me up on generalization. Sociology was definitely not for THIS aspie but individual difference mean that it could be perfect for another.
- June 8, 2011 at 2:15 PM
Absolutely hilarious - the video girl was hitting on you! Haha! She was probably thinking you were a challenge!! Anyhoo...'live and learn'. By the way, Im NT but find group work as loathesome as you do, for exactly the same reasons. One question I have - why do people with Aspergers find it so hard to organise themselves? I ask this, looking for strategies to help my daughters with. Is organisation a skill they will never learn?
- June 8, 2011 at 7:24 PM
I definitely disliked group work - still do. I am the solo programmer who has to do the whole task myself. Fortunately that's possible in my job.
Like another poster I really liked sociology. While I did not do brilliantly at the subject at uni, I did learn the difference between individual and social facts, and I have worked in applied social research positions in the public sector for most of my life.
I actually had to withdraw from uni after failing most of my subjects in second year - even though I had passed the HSC (I'm in NSW too) with a score that would have got me into medicine. I was anxious and depressed, and definitely not coping with the unstructured world of university, after the smaller, more tightly knit world of high school.
I did better when I went part time and studied at night. Like you, I found mature-aged students easier to relate to. I eventually attempted a PhD, but spent six years trying to write the first page of my thesis. I really cannot organise myself for a big project like that. But I thorooughly enjoyed burying myself in the uni library and reading lots of books about subjects that I wasn't studying formally.

Have to say, as an Aspie my degree is psychology (I enjoy it) and I have done (and enjoyed) sociology and philosophy. I am capable of getting passionate about the topics without needed to have any direct "feel" or "Association" with the groups I am talking about. They are all variables in a complicated big picture.
I don't think the logical answer is always "what is best for the state" I like sociology because there is no simple answer - there are too many variables. So I don't think that this makes sociology lesser than a science subject (or that 'science' is always the best mode of thought[or rather I just think science is broader than chem/bio/physcis]).
Sociology and philosophy are undervalued, they facilitate critical thinking skills. Which is right up the ally of many Aspies - you just have to see the puzzle of it.

After my 1st 3 years, I too had to whittle it down to one or two subjects per semester. All in all it took me 10 years to graduate with s bachelors. It was well worth it and the secret is to make sure I was always enrolled, even if it is I only took in the very least one subject at a time. Because logically, eventually, I simoly graduate, which I did. Soon thereafter I got a promotion and was treated with more dignity and respect at work. The usual bulky even stopped bullying me and a couple of years later he asked me to be his mentor. Today he doesn't bulky people anymore! He even asked for forgiveness. I think he originally regarded me as "retarded" and highly underestimated me.

lol The first Windows system I used was 2.5. It seemed experimental. I still preferred GEOS much more. But windows 2.5 was better than DOS-SHELL, when it didn't crash. lol
My first puter was a TI-99-4A. That's how I leant Basic. I would load it on cassette. This is before I could afford to have a floppy drive. lol
My modem was a 300 BAUD one with an acoustic coupler for the phone. It was a snails pace but it was exciting to connect to Many a BBS and also connect to FidoNet, which is where I got my first eMail addy that wasn't some long number like CompuServe. Woohoo!!
Years later, my 1st email address was email@example.com I had it for many years. Too bad I couldn't keep it.

I hear you on the group work thing.
In my electronic design class I designed, built and demonstrated a radio station made up of used parts from salvaged radios, the receiving kind. I even designed the printed circuit boards and did the soldering. Basically I did everything. Everyone in the group was happy to go for the ride. We all got an A+ and one of the guys kept my radio station! Bummer. It only worked for 12 to 13 minutes before you had to stop and restart it. At which point in our demonstration we ( I ) would switch to displaying it's schematics while someone restarted it. lol

Introducing New York's own Web 2.0 "playboys"
The golden boys of New York's start-up scene are just as flashbulb-driven as the women who dote on them, a new Details mag feature reveals. Mostly they followed Tumblr's enfant terrible, David Karp, and his heterosexual beard Charles Forman, who pimps "social gaming" at iminlikewithyou but is still better known as last season's Mr. Julia Allison. There's a guest appearance by Kevin Rose, which you can just tell is going to get messy. He's inserted towards the end as the wise old sage, warning these new guys away from male Internet fameballing:
Kevin Rose—"an old, old man," to quote Cashmore—never planned on going to the Mashable party. "I'm all partied out," he says. People magazine readers probably wouldn't know who Rose is, but among the Internet-savvy he's Brad Pitt. Rose, who dated Julia Allison a few years ago, is remarkably low-key compared with his younger counterparts. Drinking tea out of a mug covered with skulls and crossbones, he perks up when the talk turns to rock climbing (he's in a group called Geeks Love Climbing). He says he doesn't know what the term fameballer means. He also says he doesn't do things like wedge himself into nightclubs to have his picture taken with founder fetishists.
Those would be the women who this sort of scorn is usually reserved for: Julia Allison and her heiress apparents. The Details profile is predictably overblown, but its core message is clear: There's a new generation of men in tech who no longer feel it's enough to just launch a product people want — unless that product is themselves.

Camp set to face Serbia
Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Lee Camp looks certain to make his Northern Ireland debut against Serbia on Friday after veteran Maik Taylor was ruled out of the trip to Belgrade.
Long-term number one Taylor has been primarily used on the bench for Birmingham this season but was still in the frame to retain the national jersey before a shoulder problem struck. He has now been replaced in the squad by Linfield's Alan Blayney for the Euro 2012 qualifiers in Serbia and four days later at home to Slovenia.
But it is former England Under-21 international Camp, who was named in his first Northern Ireland squad by boss Nigel Worthington last week after receiving FIFA clearance to be selected in February, who will be heavy favourite to start.
Inverness keeper Jonathan Tuffey, who started in the Carling Nations Cup defeat to Scotland, is the other goalkeeper in Worthington's 23-man squad.
Camp qualifies for Northern Ireland through his grandfather but initially opted to represent England, earning five Under-21 caps - including one against Italy in the first professional match at the revamped Wembley.
Taylor is the second player to pull out of the squad, with Rangers midfielder Steven Davis also missing out due to a knee complaint.
Friday's qualifier is due to take place in a near empty Crvena Zvezda Stadium after home fans were banned from the ground following riots when Serbia played in Italy in October.
Serbia were forced to forfeit the game due to the trouble and now only around 250 visiting fans who had pre-bought tickets will be in attendance for the Northern Ireland clash.

(CNN) -- If the last two years are anything to go by, 2012 will once again see every other team and driver in Formula One desperately trying to keep pace with Red Bull.
The Austrian-owned marque have clinched back-to-back drivers' and constructors' titles, and in German superstar Sebastian Vettel they boast the sport's youngest double world champion.
Alongside Vettel will be experienced Australian driver Mark Webber, in addition to the genius of technical chief Adrian Newey -- the brains behind the all-conquering RB7 car.
Out of 19 grands prix last season, Red Bull started 18 on pole and took the checkered flag in 12.
After finishing 153 points ahead of second-placed McLaren in the constructors' standings, it is clear the 11 other teams have a huge gap to bridge if 2012 is going to be any different -- despite both Vettel and Webber claiming that this year the title race will be a lot closer.
Sebastian Vettel
The former Toro Rosso driver enters his fourth season with Red Bull seeking to become only the eighth driver to win three world championships. Only Michael Schumacher and 1950s legend Juan Manuel Fangio have won three in a row.
Vettel secured his first title after a nailbiting five-driver shootout at the final grand prix of 2010, but his triumph last year was far more comprehensive.
He was a huge 122 points ahead of McLaren's second-placed Jenson Button in last year's drivers' standings after claiming 11 grands prix victories.
The 24-year-old has already racked up 22 race wins in his career, all but one of which have come in the last three seasons.
Mark Webber
The 35-year-old spent last season in Vettel's shadow, having to wait until the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix for his first and only win of the year.
Webber did qualify fastest on three occasions, but that figure compares poorly to Vettel's imperious record of 15 pole positions.
The former Williams driver signed a contract extension with Red Bull in August 2011, but the deal expires at the end of the forthcoming season.
Closing the 134-point gap which existed between him and Vettel in 2011 would help Webber earn a new contract with the Britain-based team.
Australia: Vettel 2nd, Webber 4th
Malaysia: Webber 4th, Vettel 11th
China: Webber 4th, Vettel 5th
Bahrain: Vettel 1st, Webber 4th
Spain: Vettel 6th, Webber 11th
Monaco: Webber 1st, Vettel 4th
Canada: Vettel 4th, Webber 7th
Europe: Webber 4th, Vettel DNF
Britain: Webber 1st, Vettel 3rd
Germany: Vettel 5th, Webber 8th
Hungary: Vettel 4th, Webber 8th
Belgium: Vettel 2nd, Webber 6th
Italy: Vettel 5th, Webber 20th
Singapore: Vettel 1st, Webber 11th
Japan: Vettel 1st, Webber 9th
Korea: Vettel 1st, Webber 2nd
India: Vettel 1st, Webber 3rd
Abu Dhabi: Vettel 3rd, Webber DNF
Brazil: Webber 4th, Vettel 6th

Calling all amateur recruiters
Some employers in search of engineering talent are offering referral bonuses to anyone who recommends a candidate who then gets hired. That's right—anyone.
Companies have long used bonuses and other rewards to get employees to recommend their friends for jobs. About 25% of all new hires come from referrals and 90% of those are from current employees, according to HR consulting firm CareerXroads. Now, thanks to a labor market where the demand for people with hot technology skills outstrips supply, some firms are expanding beyond their employee base.
Squarespace, a Manhattan start-up that helps users build websites, last week began offering a free plane ticket to New York City to "anyone off the street" who refers an engineer or product designer who's eventually hired, said head of HR Joris Luijke. The company aims to hire 30 such professionals by March 15.
Unlike Google Inc. or FacebookFB -0.65%, he said, "we don't have a massive recruiting team or an army of sourcers. We have to think of interesting ideas to get people telling their friends about us."
The campaign has brought in more than 567 applications since it was launched February 4. At least 65 of those have come from non-employee referrals, according to a spokeswoman.
Even if Squarespace ends up buying several plane tickets, it will be a savings, Luijke said, since professional recruiters can "easily cost $20,000" for a hire.
Other reward programs give cash to off-the-street referrers. In 2012, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles sought IT professionals who were certified in a healthcare application called Epic and offered a bounty of $5,000 to be shared by the person hired and the non-employee who referred him or her.
Of course, as in all referral programs, such rewards are contingent on your friend being hired and, in most cases, staying on for at least a few months. Unless you know armies of talented application developers and Ruby on Rails programmers, don't expect to make a living at this.

SAN JOSE – Allen Crabbe had 19 points and nine rebounds, reserve Robert Thurman scored all 12 of his points on dunks and 12th-seeded California held off fifth-seeded UNLV 64-61 in the second round of the NCAA tournament Thursday.
Buoyed by the crowd support of a strong contingent so close to Berkeley, the Golden Bears (21-11) held the Runnin' Rebels (25-10) without a basket for more than 11 minutes in the second half. Cal turned a tie game into a nine-point lead during that stretch and withstood a late UNLV push for its first tournament win since 2009.
The Rebels rallied to within a point in the final seconds before missed free throws and a costly inbounds pass sealed the loss.
Bryce Dejean-Jones scored 15 points and Anthony Bennett shook off a poor start to finish with 15 points and 11 rebounds for UNLV, which beat Cal 76-75 in Berkeley on Dec. 9.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — One year away from the game was apparently all Hall of Famer Larry Bird could take. The former Boston Celtics star and Indiana Pacers coach and executive is returning to his Indiana roots once again and rejoining the Pacers' front office.
The Pacers announced Wednesday afternoon that Bird is rejoining the franchise as president, giving the Pacers a front office "Big 3" of sorts with Donnie Walsh , who will move into his role as a consultant, and general manager Kevin Pritchard already in place.
"We are all very happy to have Larry back," Pacers owner Herb Simon said in statement released by the team. "When he left last July, Donnie and I both told him the door would be open for him to come back when he's ready. Larry had a huge impact on this team and where it is now so it's fitting that he comes back at this time. Donnie has been a friend and a valuable contributor to the franchise and will continue to be both. I wanted him to agree to stay in some capacity as I believe with Larry and Kevin, it gives us three of the best basketball minds in the business."
The Pacers that Bird built during his previous stint as president, which culminated in NBA Executive of the Year honors in 2012, pushed the Miami Heat to seven games in the Eastern Conference finals this season. Bird is responsible for youngsters like All-Star Paul George and Lance Stephenson being in the Pacers' fold alongside veterans like David West, George Hill and All-Star Roy Hibbert, not to mention coach Frank Vogel.
Bird took the Pacers to The Finals during his stint as coach, from 1997-2000. He left after that Finals trip in 2000 but returned in 2003 to work alongside Walsh in the front office as president. Walsh returned to replace Bird this past season and now they will team up again with Pritchard in a significant role as well.
Bird cited health reasons for his departure at the end of last year. He had been the Pacers' president of basketball operations from 2003-12. The year off, however, served him well.
"The year off gave me a chance to reflect, to rest, to take care of some health issues and it re-charged me," Bird said in that statement. "Donnie and Kevin did a great job and I will lean on both heavily as we move forward toward the goal of competing for a championship."

Edwin Arlington Robinson
On December 22, 1869, Edwin Arlington Robinson was born in Head Tide, Maine (the same year as W. B. Yeats). His family moved to Gardiner, Maine, in 1870, which renamed "Tilbury Town," became the backdrop for many of Robinson's poems. Robinson described his childhood as stark and unhappy; he once wrote in a letter to Amy Lowell that he remembered wondering why he had been born at the age of six. After high school, Robinson spent two years studying at Harvard University as a special student and his first poems were published in the Harvard Advocate.
Robinson privately printed and released his first volume of poetry, The Torrent and the Night Before, in 1896 at his own expense; this collection was extensively revised and published in 1897 as The Children of the Night. Unable to make a living by writing, he got a job as an inspector for the New York City subway system. In 1902 he published Captain Craig and Other Poems. This work received little attention until President Theodore Roosevelt wrote a magazine article praising it and Robinson. Roosevelt also offered Robinson a sinecure in a U.S. Customs House, a job he held from 1905 to 1910. Robinson dedicated his next work, The Town Down the River (1910), to Roosevelt.
Robinson's first major success was The Man Against the Sky (1916). He also composed a trilogy based on Arthurian legends: Merlin (1917), Lancelot (1920), and Tristram (1927), which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1928. Robinson was also awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his Collected Poems (1921) in 1922 and The Man Who Died Twice (1924) in 1925. For the last twenty-five years of his life, Robinson spent his summers at the MacDowell Colony of artists and musicians in Peterborough, New Hampshire. Robinson never married and led a notoriously solitary lifestyle. He died in New York City on April 6, 1935.

Last month's post about Cyrillic and Glagolitic Alphabet Day prompted some great responses from our Croatian colleagues, where the Glagolitic alphabet, a national treasure, lives on. Vjeran Andrašić wrote from the island of Krk, home to some of Croatia's most significant Glagolitic inscriptions, and this morning I learned of this marvelous Glagolitic font, made by designer Nikola Djurek during his time at the Type & Media program at KABK in Den Haag.
Many of the world's less common alphabets have been rendered digitally by enthusiastic philologists, but it's refreshing to see one that's been so expertly made by a trained professional. And kudos to Nikola not only for presenting his work in an intellectually substantial context, but for offering to share the font with interested scholars! —JH

Employ Powerful Internet Browsing Controls with Free Website Filter
The idea of making the internet safe and clean from unwanted pornographic content is no more a dream with free website filter. Adult content is a disease in the business organization because it diverts employees mind from work and has a very negative impact on the healthy work environment. Similarly kids can also, while browsing the internet, willingly or unwillingly induce into accessing pornographic content. This is because internet is full of adult material. Even on the websites we believe are totally safe, an ad for adult website can ruin the entire family experience. So it's very important to create a healthy internet for our kids at home and employees at office as the internet is mostly totally free and unregulated in our country.
Aobo Porn Filter is a powerful internet filter that will allow you to employ internet browsing controls with free website filter. It gives you the ability to block unwanted websites in two ways. You can either block specific websites by adding their URL in the filter list so that they are black listen and prevented from being accessed. Or alternatively you can use a more general way of blocking unwanted websites by entering certain general terms in the filter such as "sex", "porn" etc. In this any website containing these specific keywords will be prevented from being accessed.
Free website filter is a necessary tool these days as most of the internet users have accessed porn and adult content over the internet directly or indirectly. People are well aware of the websites and resources that offer adult services. As a result a lot of people resort to internet for satisfying their sexual urges. As a result the overall productivity of the good usage form the internet may be adversely affected due to free access to these unwanted websites. Also, besides porn, there are a lot of other websites that are considered to be unethical such as websites spreading hatred, religious extremism and violence, all of which have a very negative impact on the life and minds of people. All these websites can be continently and automatically blocked with the help of free website filter.
Another reason why Aobo Porn Filter is the most powerful porn filter is due to its ability to remain 100% hidden. It cannot be detected by the users, so its process cannot be killed through the windows task manager as well. As a result your employees and children will not even know that certain controls are being implemented in order to prevent their access to certain websites.
Besides filtering unwanted websites, Aobo Porn Filter also gives you the ability to monitor the websites that are visited by the employees and your children. You can check what websites are being frequently visited and add them to the black list if they contain any inappropriate material. Another great feature that comes in really handy is the blocking of certain application from running. Like free website filter, you can also filter what applications or games you do not want you children or employees to access. This is really helpful in order to prevent the game addiction at home and workplace. All you need to do in order to block an application is add its name to the black list of the software and it cannot be accessed by the users. Aobo Porn Filter is very easy to use and has never disappointed its users. In case you are looking for an effective internet browsing filter, I would definitely recommend using it.

There has been a bit of a brouhaha, to say the least, over the National Park Service's press release distributed on 10th March saying they were going to phase out all ammo and tackle containing lead by 2010.
First off, let's have a look at what a ban on lead ammo and tackle would actually mean. What it applies to is the use of bullets and shots (the little lead spheres that go inside cartridges), and sinkers (attached to the end of a fishing line to get a better cast distance and to weigh down the lure) in National Parks. This ban certainly doesn't equate to a ban on hunting (the NRA is not a force to be taken lightly) and, as mentioned in the press release, non-toxic alternatives (tungsten, copper, and steel) are pretty freely available throughout the USA. The California Department of Fish and Game has produced this list of approved non-lead ammo manufacturers, and there's a similar list of approved non-lead shots for wildfowl hunting by the Fish and Wildlife Service.
So why ban lead, anyway? Well, you probably already know that lead is bad for people, which is why you won't see any new lead plumbing (including solder), lead paint, or leaded petrol in the UK and elsewhere. Here is a really good list of things that lead has been shown to do to people (by mimicking calcium in the body's chemical reactions), from lowering our IQ, turning us into criminals, and causing schizophrenia to killing us. Lead was used for so long in plumbing because it is so non-corrosive (i.e. non-biodegradable), so over time it can build up to toxic levels (bioaccumulate). Although absorption of lead via skin contact is very low, absorption of ingested lead is much higher and can build up, especially if you're a carnivore and therefore eating lots of things with low levels of lead them. It all adds up.
For instance, lead poisoning is of particular concern for birds of prey, which eat the carcasses of animals that may have been shot with lead ammo. Lead poisoning is a primary cause of death in the critically endangered California Condor, and it's already illegal to shoot deer, bear, wild pig, elk, pronghorn antelope as well as coyotes, ground squirrels, and other non-game wildlife in areas designated as California condor range. Just a few days ago a California Condor was taken in by the Los Angeles Zoo suffering not only from lead poisoning but also from having been shot. The Peregrine Fund (a birds of prey charity) hosted a conference last May called "Ingestion of Lead from Spent Ammunition: Implications for Wildlife and Humans", in which several papers were presented with evidence that eating game shot with lead ammo substantially increases lead concentrations in the blood (pdf here). As in humans, lead is stored in bone and soft tissues, especially kidneys and brain, impairing reproduction and causing cognitive and behavioural defects as well as tissue damage and death.
The use of lead shot when hunting waterfowl is already banned by the Fish and Wildlife Service since 1991, but is still permitted for shooting game birds in neighbouring fields (e.g. pheasants) and even to hunt snakes in the same water body. Waterfowl may be particularly susceptible to inadvertent ingestion of lead shot due to their feeding habits. For example, swans swallow grit to help with digestion, but shots are the same sort of size and shape that they can be easily confused and inadvertently ingested. According to the Swan Society, it only takes three or four shots to kill a swan, but in the major swan die-off of winter 2000/2001 up to 30 shots were found in each bird. The use of lead sinkers was made illegal in the UK over 20 years ago, and in some US states it's illegal to sell certain lead sinkers or jigs, but nationwide the Environmental Protection Agency estimates:
approximately 2,500 metric tons of lead, zinc, and brass sinkers (over 98 percent of the volume represented by lead), an estimated 480 million sinkers, are manufactured each year in the United States.
This phenomenal number is so high because lines break not too infrequently, leaving the sinkers in the water, so they have to be replaced. You can imagine for yourself what this means for the number of lead sinkers that get lost in the US's water bodies every year, and how much lead this constitutes. Straight Dope estimates up to 3000 tons of lead entering Canadian and US waterways annually.
So why are people still up in arms (so to speak) about switching to lead-free? I have seen a lot of people claiming that there is no evidence that lead ammo/tackle damages wildlife in any way, but there is so much evidence out there to suggest lead has dangerous implications for the health of both wildlife and humans (see the AEWA's list of papers regarding waterbirds, the proceedings of the Peregrine Fund's conference on spent lead ammo, and Needleman's book "Human Lead Exposure") that I find it hard to believe that people still believe hunting with lead can continue without repercussions. I think it's partly about tradition and self-reliance: for a lot of people hunting can be a way to distance oneself from bureaucracy and regulation, and return to tradition. It's also not necessarily immediately obvious that lead ammo and tackle have a detrimental effect on wildlife, because the fact that hunting is still such a popular and historic activity and there's still wildlife to be had seems to suggest that its practice is sustainable. Consider, though, that lead sticks around in the environment and that for example in California the number of Lifetime Hunting licenses issued has tripled since 2000 to 4,159 – there is more lead in the environment now than there ever has been. Furthermore, birds of prey are already pretty rare (some more than others, after suffering hugely from other persistent toxins, e.g. DDT), so it's not like you're going to see them falling out of the sky en masse, but the fact that California Condors are showing up pretty regularly with lead poisoning has got to mean something, right?
Also, I've seen people on forums saying if they were going to get lead poisoning (and by implication if lead poisoning were an issue for serious consideration) they would have done so by now, because they used to carry lead pellets around in their mouth, and regulating lead comes under the same category as constantly using anti-bacterial hand wash. One problem with that is that and that although absorption of lead through the skin may be minimal, absorption of ingested lead is considerably higher, especially in children (40%). The effects of low levels of lead may also not be immediately obvious or expected – behavioural changes, problems with hand-eye co-ordination, hyperactivity, lowered IQ and cognitive function, higher incidence of miscarriage, impotence, abdominal pain, etc. But the thing you have to bear in mind is that lead may build up in the body's soft tissues and over time more serious effects can be seen, in some cases leading to death. See Herbert Needleman's book "Human Lead Exposure" and LEAD Action News' list of referenced effects of human lead exposure for papers on lead toxicity in humans. When it comes to equivalent effects in wildlife, it's also important to consider that feeding habits (whether it's birds of prey feeding on big game killed with lead ammo or swans inadvertently swallowing shot along with grit) and animal size are factors.
To cut a long story short, this is a very complex issue, and although there is an awful lot of support for the ban, there is also an awful lot of opposition. As a result of this, on the 18th of March NPS issued a new press release, effectively backtracking:
1. Nothing has changed for the public. We are simply announcing the NPS goal of eliminating lead from NPS activities to protect human and wildlife health.
2. We will work to clean our own house by altering NPS resource management activities. In 2009, we will transition to non-lead ammunition in culling operations and dispatching sick or wounded animals.
3. In the future, we will look at the potential for transitioning to non-lead ammunition and non-lead fishing tackle for recreational use by working with our policy office and appropriate stakeholders/groups. This will require public involvement, comment, and review.
I was quite saddened and frustrated by this, but I am ever-hopeful that by effective provision of information and public involvement by the NPS and other environmentally-minded people, those that opposed this ban this round will consider the effect that lead-containing hunting tools are having on wildlife and come to understand that the benefits of a lead ban are worth the minimal hassle of using non-toxic alternatives.

Last February, in the marble lobby of a midtown Manhattan hotel, there was a moment that seemed to sum up the whole concept of celebrity fashion designers. As photographers shoved each other with their oversized lenses, and gossip journalists shouted out questions, the designer Todd Smith, better known as LL Cool J, stood in the center of the throng, diamond stud in ear. Bored-looking models lounged around the room, the boys in crocodile jackets, the girls in tiny dresses, ignored by everyone.
What made LL Cool J think he could be a fashion designer? "I have the sensibility -- I am sensitive to pop culture," came the answer. So he designed his collection all by himself? A momentary beat. "I didn't have total input, but I was the one inspiring it." And off he was swept by his fearsome battalion of PRs and security men.
All in all, an experience pretty much on a par with the shows held in New York by P Diddy (brown suede hotpants) and Jennifer Lopez (fur-trimmed ponchos) in previous seasons. Such is the world of celebrity fashion shows: pushy PRs, perfunctory involvement by the celebrities and very poor clothes.
But across town, a smaller, quieter show suggested this trend was being bucked. In the house of actress/model Milla Jovovich, models strolled around cheerfully wearing clothes that were -- goodness! -- really, really good.
For the second full collection of her label Jovovich-Hawk, which she designs with fellow former model Carmen Hawk, the inspiration was "strong women," meaning that it was almost certainly the only show of the season that featured the words "Gertie Stein" on its press release and cited Katharine (as opposed to the more usual, and far less interesting, Audrey) Hepburn as inspiration. There were elegant patterned blouses, vintage-style tunics and impressively well-cut trousers -- all very cool but grown-up, pretty but modest, and with nary a crocodile jacket to be seen.
Sitting in a London hotel, laughing at one another's jokes and chattering away in their endearing Bill and Ted accents ("Totally dude"), Jovovich and Hawk are still shocked that what started as an afternoon hobby in each other's bedrooms four years ago is now about to be stocked in Harvey Nichols, "which is, like, insane," Jovovich practically yelps.
But despite the girlish breathiness, both women clearly take the job very seriously, and are in charge of everything from manufacturing to distribution, and only realized that they could hire others to help them last year. For one of their first collections, they sewed the clothes themselves in their bedrooms.
Jovovich and Hawk met more than 13 years ago and are now best friends, finishing each other's sentences and stealing Marlboro Lights off each other. With two models as designers and the frequent references to "vintage inspiration," one might assume that these are clothes for a small (in both number and physical shape) coterie. But both women, who are in their early 30s, are adamant that they are for all ages and sizes, even using Jovovich's mother as a size model.
"For us, it's about strong women or making women feel strong," says Jovovich, who is very pretty with a warm face. "When I first met Carmen, what I liked about her was that she was a strong but still feminine woman, and that she didn't have to show she was strong by wearing baggy jeans or whatever, like I was doing. But also, I look around America and there are so many girls who feel they have to walk around half-naked to attract men and we're just trying to say: Do you really have to do that? And would you really want to attract those kinds of men anyway?"

A urinary tract infection or UTI refers to an infection in any part of the urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, ureters and urethra. Doctors and urologists may further subdivide UTIs into upper and lower urinary tract infections. Upper infections are located in the kidneys while lower UTIs are located in the bladder and urethra. Most people suffer from lower UTIs.
Women are far more prone to getting urinary tract infections simply because their urethras are smaller but wider than a man's. Germs or bacteria have more chance of entering the woman's body and then traveling to the bladder and kidneys. In contrast, germs and bacteria tend to stay in a man's urethra.
Normally, the urinary tract can successfully kill off any invading bacteria or other microorganisms but sometimes the defenses fail. But how do bacteria get into the urethra in the first place? By a variety of methods, including:
Sexual contact with a partner suffering from a UTI
Using catheters - even one-use-only catheters
Using a diaphragm, intra-uterine device (IUD) or another contraceptive that needs to be inserted into the woman in order to work
Being born with a defect of the urinary tract
Any disease that reduces the body's natural immune system, such as AIDS
Any medication that reduces the body's natural immune system, such as corticosteroids
Infrequent washing of the genitals
Accidentally getting fecal material onto the vagina or penis. This is thought to be the most common way of contracting a urinary tract infection.
Common symptoms include:
Severe, sudden, burning pain in the genitals when urinating. This pain can be so bad that it can bring tears to the eyes or make a patient break out into a sweat.
Increased need to urinate
Trouble urinating more than a little bit at a time
Foul-smelling or very strong-smelling urine - even a few drops can stink
Cloudy-colored urine
Aching pain under the ribs towards the spine, where the kidneys are
Abdominal pain or tenderness, which makes wearing skirts, pants or underpants painful.
Fever which may or may not include sweating and chills
Nausea with or without vomiting.
The good news about urinary tract infections is that they usually respond well to treatment, as long as they are caught early. Lower UTIs in particular can degenerate into dangerous kidney infections if there is a delay in treatment.
Patients are urged to drink more water and cranberry juice to make urinating less painful and to prevent future infections.
Menopausal or post-menopausal women prone to chronic urinary tract infections may be placed on estrogen replacement hormones.
Any patient suffering from a UTI should refrain from having sex until the infection goes away.

2009-10 Conference Primers: #19 – MACPosted by nvr1983 on October 18th, 2009
Rush the Court currently does not have a correspondent from the MAC so if you would like to represent the conference and educate the rest of us, please e-mail us at email@example.com.
Predicted Order of Finish:
- Akron (12-4)
- Buffalo (11-5)
- Kent State (10-6)
- Bowling Green (9-7)
- Miami (OH) (8-8)
- Ohio (7-9)
- Ball State (8-8)
- Northern Illinois (7-9)
- Eastern Michigan (7-9)
- Central Michigan (6-10)
- Toledo (6-10)
- Western Michigan (5-11)
All-Conference Team:
- David Kool (G), Sr, Western Michigan
- Darion Anderson (G), Jr, Northern Illinois
- Jarrod Jones (F), So, Ball State
- Brandon Bowdry (F), Jr, Eastern Michigan
- Zeke Marshall (C), Fr, Akron
6th Man. Brett McKnight (F), Jr, Akron
Impact Newcomer. Zeke Marshall (C), Fr, Akron
What You Need to Know. To begin with this is the MAC not the MAAC. Sienadoesn't play in this conference so if you came here expecting to see a preview for them you are in the wrong place (at least for a few days). This conference, the MAC, is ridiculously unbalanced. While none of the the teams in the MAC would be considered contenders for a national title there are four good teams in the East that might actually pique some interest when they played a decent BCS school as an "Upset Alert." There isn't a single team in the West you could say that about even if they were playing a cellar-dweller in any of the BCS conferences. In fact, last year the last-place team in the East (Ohio) would have been tied for first in the West. The winner of the automatic bid will almost definitely come from the East with Akron and Buffalo being the top contenders. The edge may go to the Zips who lose less of their championship team from last year (only Nate Linhart) and add a 7'0″ center in the middle with Zeke Marshall while the Bulls will not have Greg Gamble and Andy Robinson this year.
Predicted Champion. Akron Zips (NCAA Seed: #13). Coming off a 20-win season and the MAC title/NCAA bid the Zips are loaded by MAC standards. The only significant player they lose is Linhart (the MAC tournament MVP), but the Zips should have more than enough to stay up at the top of the MAC with the McKnight brothers (Chris and Brett) leading the way. Even though Brett came off the bench last year, he still led the team in scoring and figures to do so again although I'm not sure if he will stay on the bench with Linhart's departure. With the McKnights and Marshall controlling the inside, Daryl Roberts and his 39.6% from beyond the arc should get his fair share of quality looks. With so much returning talent, the key for the Zips will be how quickly Marshall adapts to the college game. Marshall, who FoxSports.com rated as the #13 impact freshman this upcoming season, could give the Zips something the MAC hasn't seen in a long-time–a legitimate seven-foot center. His presence, even if tips the scales at a relatively svelte 218 lbs, could be just the boost that the Zips need to repeat in the MAC and scare some big-name school in the 1st round.

This is an installment of the 2013 edition of My Farm Roots, Harvest Public Media's series chronicling Americans' connection to the land. Click here to explore more My Farm Roots stories and to share your own.
Kelly Hagler, 25, is among the millions of young people who have left rural communities for the bright lights of the city, in this case Chicago.
But Hagler has not left completely.
Here's what she told us last year when we asked people to share their "My Farm Roots" stories through the Harvest Network:
"The drought and fear of not making contract yields, mixed with the pressure of new house expenses, is aging my already Old Man," she wrote. "It's also so strange to be detached from them. It's something that few other non-farming families have to deal with: The guilt of leaving behind older parents to work the farm, all because you're trying to make your own living where more opportunities exist."
Hagler is from Bethany, Mo., a small town in northwest Missouri. The 1,000 acres her parents Rex and Jan Hagler farm are not far from the center of my own rural roots (though I am two generations removed from the farm). Hagler moved to Chicago right after she graduated from the University of Missouri in 2010.
I wanted to know more about her mixed emotions about her city path. So on a trip this spring to Chicago, I visited with Hagler at her office in midtown Chicago, where she works as program and community manager for Chicago Ideas Week.
"Growing up in Bethany was a really, really good time," Hagler told us.
She talked about high school life in a small community — "a lot of driving around, and a lot of partying" — and the bane of farm chores — "castrating calves; that's never fun."
And then there is the 100-year-old home she and her sister Sara grew up in.
"It didn't have air-conditioning. It was just an old terrible farmhouse," Hagler said. "I hated it because the bathroom was off the kitchen because they had to build it on after the house was built."
Not only did she have to share a single bathroom with her sister and parents, but the windows were always open, which was a problem because of her severe allergies, and there wasn't much privacy. Her parent's room was off the living room.
"So the stairs going upstairs were right by their bedroom, and the stairs of course made so much noise. So if you're late, I'd be tiptoeing up the stairs and I'd hear 'Kelly Lynn,'" she said. "You never got away with anything."
A year ago, her parents built a new house – just 10 or 20 feet from the old house.
"It's this beautiful home that they've always wanted," she said, and it has three bathrooms. But she misses the old house, which was pushed into a hole, burned and covered up.
While Hagler lamented the loss of her childhood home, it was when she hit on family that she really conveyed the underlying (and constant) tug on her heart.
"My dad is a character. He is straight out of a movie. He's this rugged dude with the cutoff plaid shirt, his belt buckle and his Wranglers and his cowboy boots, and his Winston Light hanging out of his mouth," she said.
And her mom, a city administrator? Hagler says she helps bind them all together.
"Mom is a carpenter, and is sensitive and a cook," Hagler said. "She is like the ultimate lady to me. "
The longer she is away from them, it seems, the more she questions where she belongs.
"There's nothing worse than sitting at a desk and looking outside and it's awesome out there," she said. "And you know this time of year is the best time to be there because (Dad)'s getting in the field, the nights are late and you're outside all the time. And you need to go check the cows and you're planting gardens. And things are growing. It's just the best time to be there and it's the hardest time to be away."
The older she gets, she said, the more she realizes maybe there is a possibility of going back.
"It's still something I'm kind of wrestling with, and trying to figure out if it's like father guilt-induced or if it's I actually want to."
She wonders about starting a nonprofit program to help kids in rural communities develop creative skills, a resource she wishes she had.
"People forget that rural communities exist, and I feel like kids are kind of forgotten about there," she said. "I think that the notion of teaching kids to do what they love and that they can come back and bring it into their community is something that's powerful."
Hagler painted such a vivid picture of her early years in Bethany that I sent Harvest intern Payne Roberts to visit the Hagler farm and family. Roberts' work is included in the My Farm Roots story we share this week.
Kelly Hagler's father Rex brought home the view from the farm left behind: "You've got to let loose the reins sometimes, let the reins drop and see where the horse takes you. That's what Kelly did. She pretty well did it on her own."
And Sara Hagler, Kelly's sister, explained the pull to and from those deep farm roots: "We both want to have roots and wings."
We learned about Kelly's story when she joined the Harvest Network. Share your story here.

Pet Madness
And the winner is... Schweini! Give this little "piggy" a couple of high paws as he gets the nod in this year's Pet Madness contest! Congratulations to all the "Final Four" winners below, who got certificates to some great local restaurants. And as always, a big thank you to everyone who submitted their adorable pics along with all the heart-warming testimonials about why your pet is the best: scroll to the bottom of this page to see all of this year's entries (and CLICK HERE to check out last year's winners).
Winner: Schweini
Thanks to Sonia Lamel from Lafayette!
"Schweini or "piglet" found me just as I made my way into adulthood. He has been the constant in my "mature" life and I know he will be there through many of my life-defining moments. We instantly developed camaraderie. He lays awake with me as I work late into the night, and he takes me out during the day to explore the natural wonders of the bay area. Not a day gone by that he hasn't brought me to tears with laughter -nor one when I was on the verge of tears that he hasn't licked my face until that little tongue induced uncontrollable giggles. His natural propensity to be a companion and clown in a dog suit has reminded me what the important things are in life: laughter, love, family, and bringing those elements to others :)"
Runner up: Sophie
Thanks to Jennifer Saake from Danville!
"Sophie, my English Bulldog, is the best because anyone who looks at her will smile."
Third place: Molly and Buster
Fourth Place: Tanner
Thanks to Ronni Maestas from Walnut Creek for submitting Molly and Buster!
"My Havanese littermates are the definition of pure joy. They are best buddies and love each other and their human family with equal enthusiasm. Miss Molly (L) is the brains of the operation—brilliant, funny and confident with personality to spare. Buster (R) is a sweet, gentle soul who just loves to love you. The world is simply a better and more joyful place with my babies in it."
Thanks to Beverly Sanchez from Walnut Creek for submitting Tanner!
"Tanner loves to play, loves to sleep with me and is the best friend a person could have."

Indian Food History
The cuisine of India is characterised by its use of various spices, herbs and other vegetables grown in India and also for the widespread practice of vegetarianism across some sections of its society. reastaurants have moved awat from classic dishes and Each family of Indian cuisine is characterized by a wide assortment of dishes and cooking techniques. As a consequence, it varies from region to region, reflecting the varied demographics of the ethnically diverse Indian subcontinent.
India's religious beliefs and culture have played an influential role in the evolution of its cuisine. However, India's cuisine also evolved with the subcontinent's cross-cultural interactions with the neighboring Middle East and Central Asia as well as the Mediterranean, making it a unique blend of various cuisines from across Asia.
The spice trade between India and Europe is often cited as the main catalyst for Europe's Age of Discovery. The colonial period introduced European cooking styles to India adding to the flexibility and diversity of Indian cuisine. Indian cuisine has had a remarkable influence on cuisines across the world, especially those from Southeast Asia.
In particular, curry, which originated in India, is used to flavor food across Asia.
As a land that has experienced extensive immigration and intermingling through many millennia, India's cuisine has benefited from numerous food influences. The diverse climate in the region, ranging from deep tropical to alpine, has also helped considerably broaden the set of ingredients readily available to the many schools of cookery in India. In many cases, food has become a marker of religious and social identity, with varying taboos and preferences (for instance, a segment of the Jain population will not consume any roots or subterranean vegetables; see Jain vegetarianism). One strong influence over Indian foods is the longstanding vegetarianism within sections of India's Hindu, Buddhist and Jain communities. People who follow a strict vegetarian diet make up 20–42% of the population in India, while less than 30% are regular meat-eaters.
Masala dosa served in a restaurant in southern India. Indian cuisine is characterized by the widespread practice of vegetarianism across India's populace.Around 7000 BC, sesame, eggplant, and humped cattle had been domesticated in the Indus Valley.[15] By 3000 BC, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper and mustard were harvested in India.[16] Many recipes first emerged during the initial Vedic period, when India was still heavily forested and agriculture was complemented with game hunting and forest produce. In Vedic times, a normal diet consisted of fruit, vegetables, meat, grain, dairy products and honey.[17] Over time, some segments of the population embraced vegetarianism, due to ancient Hindu philosophy of ahimsa.[18] This practice gained more popularity following the advent of Buddhism and a cooperative climate where variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains could easily be grown throughout the year. A food classification system that categorised any item as saatvic, raajsic or taamsic developed in Ayurveda. Each was deemed to have a powerful effect on the body and the mind
Later, invasions from Central Asia, Arabia, the Mughal empire, and Persia, and others had a deep and fundamental effect on Indian cooking. Influence from traders such as the Arab and Portuguese diversified subcontinental tastes and meals. As with other cuisines, Indian cuisine has absorbed New World vegetables such as tomato, chilli, and potato, as staples. These are actually relatively recent additions.
Islamic rule introduced rich gravies, pilafs and non-vegetarian fare such as kebabs, resulting in Mughlai cuisine (Mughal in origin), as well as such fruits as apricots, melons, peaches, and plums. The Mughals were great patrons of cooking. Lavish dishes were prepared during the reigns of Jahangir and Shah Jahan. The Nizams of Hyderabad state meanwhile developed and perfected their own style of cooking with the most notable dish being the Biryani.
During this period the Portuguese and British introduced foods from the New World such as potatoes, tomatoes, squash, and chilies as well as cooking techniques like baking.
