But in this workshop, we'll challenge most of what we learned about this imaginative, persuasive genre. For "essay" is also a verb meaning to try, to endeavor, to venture. With our essays, then, we will essay to move people -- to tears, to laughter, perhaps even to action.SIT, STAY: THE DOG AS A METAPHOR IN POETRY with Leslie McGrathThe dog's role in American life has evolved a great deal over the last fifty years, moving from pet to intimate companion.

Come and find out whether Vivian Shipley really trekked the Inca Trail to get to Machu Picchu, hiked up Av. Du-Lachaise to visit Jim Morrison's grave, was a surfer chick, a dominatrix or hammer thrower. If she wasn't, learn how she wrote poems about the subjects for her forthcoming ninth book, The Poet. (Louisiana Literature Press, SLU, 2015)CLICHE IN WORD, THOUGHT, AND CHARACTER with Mark Ferguson"A cliché is dead matter. It causes gangrene in the prose around it, and sooner or later it eats your brain." - Verlyn Klinkenborg, Several Short Sentences About Writing. Clichéd phrases are easy enough to spot, and with a little self control easy enough to get rid of. But what of cliché in thought, character, or story? What of cliché in phrasing, clichéd ideas? This session will focus on the concept of cliché and why it's so difficult to avoid. The group will discuss strategies for spotting and eliminating cliché in their writing.FICTIONAL VOICES with Mary SharnickVoice is what we hear and tone is how we feel. Workshop participants will bring our protagonists to life through exercises in interior monologue and dialogue with other characters.Session 4: 2:05 pm - 3:00 pm - Concurrent WorkshopsSELF-PUBLISHING with Patrice FitzgeraldTired of waiting to see yourself in print? Maybe you have a killer novel manuscript tucked into a drawer, wisdom to share with the world in a non-fiction book, or simply a family story you want preserved for the ages... but you haven't found an agent or a publisher. Or maybe you don't want to waste time going through all that, knowing the odds are long.

Many writers don't promote. There are amazing opportunities out there to receive free publicity for your book. Because Mike is a media host AND an author, he knows both sides of the publicity dynamic. He'll share insider tips on getting your book exposed plus teach you how to be an engaging guest and effective speaker.Mike is a 44-year Radio/TV personality including stays in Detroit, New York City, Boston and New Hampshire. His career includes 11,000 shows, playing 400,000 songs and being buried alive three time as publicity stunts. He's a columnist, feature writer and author of FIFTY SHADES OF RADIO. In 2013, he was given the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award from the National Society of Newspaper Columnists for community fundraising efforts.MEMOIR: THE REMEMBERED LIFE with Mary-Ann Tirone SmithAutobiography skirts the surface of a life without allowing the reader access to the messy, conflicted and unapologetically subjective material of a memoir. Let us come to understand the requirement that the memoirist be willing to expose that subjective mess in order to create an irresistible, compelling and publishable memoir.ALL TOGETHER IN A SUDDEN STRANGENESS: BREAKING OUR WRITING PATTERNS with Edwina TrenthamIn "Keeping Quiet," Pablo Neruda suggests that "we all keep still" and see what will happen when we find ourselves "all / together in a sudden strangeness." This workshop is not about keeping still, but it is about taking chances, about breaking out of our familiar writing patterns. We will both read and write poetry, using writing exercises to nudge ourselves out of our safe path as poets and encourage us to explore new voices.WRITING A DRAMATIC SCENE with Lucy FerrissThe scene is at the heart of the story -- at the heart, one might say, of all imaginative writing, be it drama or prose or even poetry. Some stories consist of only one scene, whereas others seem to "layer" their scenes with exposition, description, and dialogue, so that the story moves through time and reaches its climax in a final or penultimate scene rather than in a single line of dialogue or exposition.Session 6: 11:00 am - 12:00 pm - Concurrent WorkshopsBIRTH OF A BOOK: FROM THE AUTHOR'S MIND TO THE SHELF with Matthew DicksThis workshop will pull back the curtains on the complex and confusing world of publishing. We will discuss how authors find agents, how books are pitched and sold to publishing houses, how authors earn advances and royalties, how books are sold to foreign markets, and how books are made into films. The oftentimes opaque machinery of the publishing process exposed at last!FIVE POETRY PROMPTS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE with Christine BeckIf you are stuck in a rut or worse yet, are staring at an empty page, let me show you five poetry prompts that will help you get moving. You can use these prompts both as a teacher and as a writer. They are designed to help edit your poetry to its essential, write with compassion about the "other," explore sonic appeal, use lists in new ways, and mimic lines or forms that will alter your standard syntax.MYSTERIOUS STRANGERS AND AMATEUR SLEUTHS: WRITING THE COZY MYSTERY with Susannah HardyFrom Miss Marple to Nancy Drew to Jessica Fletcher to the modern cozy mystery, traditional mysteries never go out of style. This workshop will introduce you to the cozy mystery (you already know what it is--you just may not know what it's called), as well as give you tips and techniques on how to write your own while working within genre expectations. We'll cover setting, characters, and the construction of a twisting, turning plot that will keep readers guessing. A reading list will be provided.12:00 pm - 1:00 pm: Lunch breakSession 7: 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm - Concurrent WorkshopsFINDING AN AGENT with Susan SchoenbergerWhat does it take to find an agent in this uber-competitive marketplace? Do you even need an agent with all of the non-traditional publishing options available? We'll talk about how to research agents, how to query them, why you might or might not need one, and what they actually do for writers. Bring your questions!TAKING THE ORAL HISTORY OF A FAMILY MEMBER with Hunter LiguoreAre you an amateur historian? Have you always wanted to preserve your family history? Have a story of your own that you need to write? Here is your chance. Through oral history, we preserve not only the past, but the voices of those we care about. In this workshop, we'll learn the logistics of conducting an oral history. We'll create a list of interview questions, and complete sample exercises to get you started. Participants have opportunity to be included in One Bookshelf oral history project through American Athenaeum literary journal.WRITING AND PROMOTING YOUR CONTENT with Wayne EnglishWriting for the web and social media is a necessity for every writer and author. Today we discuss writing headlines, media releases, your blog, InfoGraphics, white papers, and e-books. And, if we have time, how to use tools like HootSuite and Klout to promote all that hard work.PUBLISHING PANELResearching and choosing the best publishing method for one's book is a huge decision made complicated by the ever-changing landscape of traditional publishing and self-publishing. Vanity presses, independent publishing and now partnership publishing all offer methods for getting an author's work out there, but is the purpose or end result always the production of a quality product? The goal of this panel is to clarify the options and provide resources for those writers and authors interested in exploring their publishing alternatives.2:00 pm - 3:00 pm: Open Mic with Syllable Series!We close out our weekend of inspiration and information with an open mic to read your work. Curated by Syllable, the Reading Series, this is a chance to show off your best work or put new work in front of friendly listeners for the first time.
The Mark Twain House & Museum has restored the author's Hartford, Connecticut, home, where the author and his family lived from 1874 to 1891. Twain wrote his most important works there, including Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. In addition to providing tours of Twain's restored home, a National Historic Landmark, the institution offers activities and educational programs that illuminate Twain's literary legacy and provide information about his life and times.The house and museum at 351 Farmington Ave. are open daily, 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. (Closed Tuesdays in March.) For more information, call 860-247-0998 or visit www.marktwainhouse.org.Programs at the Mark Twain House & Museum are made possible in part by support from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of the Arts, and the Greater Hartford Arts Council's United Arts Campaign..

A. An indentured servant entered into a contract for a specific number of years, in exchange for his or her passage to America. This custom persisted into the 19th century, providing newcomers with food, shelter and clothing, in exchange for work and training in new trades. If the immigrant didn't meet the terms of the agreement, though (often it was more like slave labor with minimal freedom), he risked fines, imprisonment, physical punishment or additional years of indenture. Indenture contracts generally give the name of the servant, his or her parents and the master; the location and length of indenture; and, in some cases, immigration information.
Records of indenture can be hard to locate because they're held in a variety of places: Some, such as the ones you found, are part of court records; others are in collections of the master's personal papers. Published indexes of indenture papers, such as these books and those on the Virtual Jamestown website (which covers late 17th- and early 18th-century indenture contracts from English registers in London, Middlesex and Bristol), can help researchers find these records. Genealogical firm Price and Associates also has an indentured servant database. Additionally, old newspapers may carry wanted notices for runaway servants.
I would start by checking local and state archives, such as the Library of Virginia, for John Oldham's papers, then searching court records in hope that the documentation exists. It may not, though, so be prepared for disappointment.

Après l'Ondée
Eau de Toilette
Perfume of a landscape
Spray 100 ML
Indisponible -
Created by Jacques Guerlain in 1906, Après L'Ondée is a celebration of the fine weather that follows the rain.
In this bouquet of powdery flowers, Jacques Guerlain orchestrated its floral note around violet, iris and vanilla nuances.
This discreet fragrance of absolute romance is presented in a spray bottle inspired by the original Bee Bottle of the Eau de Cologne Impériale, covered in 69 iconic bees of the Empire.
Powdery Floral.
Tender, delicate, subtle.
Composed in nuances and half-shades, Après l'Ondée opens on aniseed notes and continues with a powdery-spicy floral bouquet whose scent evokes a stroll through the dewy underbrush.
Guerlain creations each have their own story and sometimes strong similarities. This is the case of Après l'Ondée and L'Heure Bleue, two countryside fragrances inspired by the beauty of a moment and a photograph of nature. Created six years earlier, Après l'Ondée has a more watercolour and pastel aspect than L'Heure Bleue.

Fall Reruns
Oh, yes, Fall is supposed to be about new shows and new shoes, but a couple of folks have asked to see pictures of the house before we move. While I feel like it is all out there already, it is not all in one place. In fact, just putting this together required hunting and pecking through files and blog posts.
Here is my hand-drawn-not-to-scale and likely-inaccurate floor plan. I can't really visualize houses based on floor plans, but I know some people can (like my husband) so I am including it to provide a little perspective for those who think that way. (What? You were expecting 1/4" = 1' and that super-cool architect's handwriting? Honestly, I wish I worked like that.)
Front hall - Dash and Albert runner, do-it-yourself color blocks and the rug that Rosie wrecks every single day.
Coat closet - channeling Dorothy Draper. A tiny, little bit.
Powder room - this was a last minute spif.
Living room - I did a little shifting in the last few weeks. We purchased a new TV and the chest that was formerly here seemed like a better fit than what we had in the kitchen. Then the dominos began to fall. Dining room tables and mirrors moved here and the dining room was once again (always) barren and sad.
South view - and my favorite of the three configurations over ten years. Also, the briefest.
Office - Sorry, Toad, the rug is coming with.
The National Disaster that is my Dining Room.
Sitting area in the kitchen. That armoire is now upstairs holding books in the boys' room. Was. The books are all packed. Mr. Blandings, in a move that rivals his rants about how many apples the boys eat, had groused a bit about the number of boxes of books that have been loaded into the container.
Kitchen eating area - with beloved Cherner chairs. They swivel. They are a bevy of gals with the nipped waists and the full skirts doing the twist. I adore them.
Kitchen bath - behind the door is a make-shift mudroom with cubbies and hooks. (Margaret Russell said once, somewhere, in relation to Steven Gambrel's powder room in the last Sag Harbor house, that it is tricky to photograph bathrooms without showcasing the toilet. Clearly, I didn't manage it; I've done it twice in one post.)
Our bedroom is sort of where furniture goes to die. It was always the step-child of the house.
These pictures were taken once we readied it for the buyers to see, so, per all how-to-sell-your-house tips, we had removed all personal pictures and items. It looks incredibly spare to me.
The sitting room - these chairs are basically staging. There were other, shabbier, more comfortable chairs in here to facilitate TV viewing that are now in the basement. I inherited these from a friend and this is the original upholstery. They will be recovered, someday, when we land in a new spot.
Master bath
with one sink. This was the only drawback that Mr. Blandings could find the first time he saw the house. Just this week, ten years later, he said, "It really wasn't that big of a deal."
This room has changed, as you may know, from nursery to teen-ager room. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of the new set up before tear down.
Play room - I may live to stamp again. I loved this project.
The littler boys' room,
dressing area
and bath.
Normally this is where we would start, out back, for drinks and snacks. The whole lot is a jumbly mess right now, so it is nice to see each room when it was at its best. We have not confirmed where we are going. Through the power of the universe and the internet we will be held at a friend's who is on an adventure of her own. No better place to be on-hold than a spot where she coaxed me through the first stages of my oldest putting his toe outside the nest.
From there we will see what comes next.

Rhea's Deli and Market in S.F.
Rhea's Deli and Market should sport another name - sandwich specialist, perhaps, or spice specialist.
The deli is known for its popular Korean steak sandwich ($8.99), rib-eye marinated in soy sauce, garlic and ginger, then slathered with chile garlic sauce, house pickled onions and jalapenos, all on an Acme Bread Co. roll. With cheese, if you want.
Other options pay homage to the surrounding streets of San Francisco, including the 18th Street ($7.95) with Buffalo sauced chicken, Muenster cheese, chipotle aioli, bacon and arugula, with house pickles and toppings. That chicken gets a slightly different treatment in the Judah Street ($7.45), with pesto, mozzarella, tomatoes, spinach and garlic aioli.
The sandwiches hold up well, so despite the fact that the place closes on the early side, it's fine to grab one for dinner. Note that seating is minimal and that this is in a liquor store. For many, that would mean full service: chips, drink and a great sandwich to boot.
Rhea's Deli and Market: 800 Valencia St., S.F. (415) 282-5255. 11:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday, until 6 p.m. Friday-Sunday. $10 minimum for delivery.

« Should Teachers Resist the Common Core? | Main | Will Digital 'Textbooks' Change Teaching? »
Principal's Value-Added Score Oops
A Florida middle school principal accidentally emailed her teachers' evaluation scores to the entire school staffvalue-added measures and all, according to the Florida Times-Union.
Principal Katrina McCray said she meant to attach a different file to the schoolwide email. (Ouch. Been there.) Upon realizing her mistake, she brought the faculty together and apologized.
The Duval County teachers' union president is consulting attorneys on how to handle the situation, which she told the paper was upsetting to teachers. The superintendent responded to the union's complaint quickly. "But upon my preliminary review the principal made an honest mistake and has thoroughly apologized for it," he said.
It's an unfortunate situationand one someone will inevitably invoke as an argument (though a specious one) against using test scores to evaluate teachers. But to be fair, the mistake itself could have been made by a boss in any profession that evaluates employees.
Actually there is one big difference: According to the article, the teachers' data would have become public record one year after the evaluation. So, in a sense, the principal's only mistake made was releasing the scores early. Whether or not publicly releasing teachers' scores is the wisest policy is another question ...

Tiger Band, Golden Girls brace for heat on gamedays

Evolving the Internet: Princeton to help develop PlanetLab network
Princeton University is helping to develop an experimental global network of computers that is expected to become a testing ground for a future generation of the Internet.
The network, called PlanetLab, is designed to allow researchers to develop and test powerful new types of software that are not confined to a single computer but run on many computers at once, treating the global network, in a sense, as one large, widely distributed computer.
Once fully developed, such a network could yield many benefits, from faster downloads to more powerful search engines. A person watching an online video, for example, might receive it from many computers that work together to avoid congested parts of the Internet. Software that scans the entire Internet for malicious behavior could catch problems before they could be detected by a single computer at one particular site.
"If I can observe the behavior of the Internet from multiple vantage points, I can see what the traffic looks like, where the losses are and where the congestion is," said Larry Peterson, chair of Princeton's computer science department and one of the founders of PlanetLab.
The PlanetLab project began in March 2002 when researchers from several institutions met to discuss the idea. The founding group included David Culler of Intel and the University of California-Berkeley, Tom Anderson of the University of Washington and Peterson. Intel, the world's largest computer chip maker and a manufacturer of networking products, provided seed grants of equipment to set up an initial network of 100 computers, which are hosted by 60 international institutions that quickly joined the project. The technology firms HP and Google also are joining the project and will commit resources to it.

"You're giving them stories to tell," my host and guide, Wako Napasu, told me as I shook the hands of village kids who had followed our Land Cruiser down a dirt road.
"They'll run home and say, 'Mommy, I touched a white man.' "
My girlfriend, Bianca, and I had just been spectators at a sing-sing, a tribal ceremony in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. We ended up there by serendipity, an impromptu stop as I took 14 months off my reporting job to travel the world. We would have gone straight from Australia to Indonesia, but two friendly PNG ladies we met in Fiji - and the foolish hope of a cannibal encounter - convinced us to make the extra hop.
At the sing-sing we watched men painted yellow, red and white dance in circles to thank a neighbouring tribe for repaying a pig loan. We saw an elder dressed only in a straw skirt and a fern crown start a fire with dried vine and some tree fibres.
It was all staged for our entertainment, of course. Such traditions only survive as tourist attractions and for the yearly cultural festival.
But something unusual happened in this cultural tour that we had paid for: the entire village of Tambul, a few hundred people living mostly in kerosene-lit huts, huddled around the performance green, not to watch the dancers, but to watch us: the white people they see mostly on TV.
PNG is truly the last frontier of independent travel. There is no infrastructure for budget backpackers like us. There are no roads from the coastal capital, Port Moresby, to take you up to the highlands. You have to fly with one of two domestic airlines, or if you're lucky enough, hitch a flight with a cargo turboprop or a missionary supply plane. Most visitors to the country are moneyed surfers, fishers, hikers or divers who stay at the handful of posh resorts and rarely venture out into public to avoid the savagery they've been taught to fear by reading their newspapers.
Result: wherever we went, we were quickly surrounded by an entourage of children that would make Brangelina envious. They would stare with the kind of awe that I, at their age, would reserve for man-eating zoo creatures.
Those scores of eyeballs filled me with an intense pressure to portray my ethnic difference in a favourable light, and most of all, to not say anything embarrassingly stupid.
The Melanesian culture quickly shows you how silly this is. Whatever I did, the locals smiled. Anything I muttered in Pidgin, the lingua franca of this nation of 800 languages, would send the kids into hysterical guffaws. What amuses these friendly people, who 60 years ago were hunting with spears, is so disarmingly simple that it made me wonder if maybe my life has got a touch too complicated.
The folks from PNG have such little contact with Westerners that they have plenty of time to idealize them. Most of them are subsistence farmers, and a century of missionary work hasn't erased millennia of warrior-based societies. Educated adults speak English, but that doesn't mean communication is any easier with such a broad chasm of experience between us.
"Why do you admire white people so much?" I asked Joyce Napasu, my guide Wako's wife, who took care of our every need in the highlands.
"You live in nice houses, use good toilets, are very clean. We black people are always poor," she said. It little matters that it was whites who came uninvited to their land and told them that their millennial traditions would damn them to an eternity of suffering. Or that whites were reaping big profits from newly discovered liquid natural gas reserves.
I could have said lots of things that might have undone some of the harmful programming her people had endured, acting as a kind of anti-colonizer. But then I would only be following past follies, playing the civilized squatter who tells the locals how they should live.
Wako's family makes a decent living entertaining a few tourists each year, and lives in one of the biggest houses in Mount Hagen. They have a fridge, but it's never plugged in, as highlanders eat whatever they harvest that day. They have a dining table, but it's always covered with a protective canvas with the chairs resting on top.
At dinnertime one night, Joyce placed plates on the table for us, while the rest of her family ate on the kitchen floor, as they do at every meal. We promptly joined them and hoped that this would, even if just a little bit, contract the skin-pigment gap that they have grown up with.

Love it or hate it, 3D is here to stay. It's a natural progression of visual displays, and I'm kind of bored of hearing it's a fad.

- Playa Negra is one of the best spots in Costa Rica. Surf is great. If you get sick of going right off the point just paddle 100 yards over to Stone Fish Reef or Lefty Left's and go left. Post card setting easy on the bugs. Fun easy wave, shallow rock bottom.

Give it up - You might as well pick the punk out that you want to give your $$$, sunglasses, trunks, camera and whatever else you leave in your car.
Every spot in Costa Rica will drain you if you're gullible.
By Barranqueño , 13-06-2007
Good wave - I surfed Negra back in late nineties, early millenium. Probably one of my favorite waves in the world. IT can get crowded these days but if you hang out for a while you can always find a time to slip in for a few drainers. I never had a problem with anyone there. There was one dude who was a loud mouth from somewhere in the States. He owned land and was jaded but he would only come down for a couple weeks at a time. We used to camp on the beach and surf for a couple weeks at a time. Does Manou still hold it down? He is the man, he rips and his woman is really hot. The wave is great but it is not as heavy as some people here say. It get's power and you can get a barrel but the take off is not to critical. In fact, if you get one off the boil, dry hair tube rides with a mellow take-off.

|System: Xbox 360*, PC
|Dev: Red Fly Studio
|Pub: Activision
|Release: August 28, 2013
|Players: 1-2 (campaign), 1-4 (arcade)
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
There are also a variety of extra modes. The most captivating is an arcade game that blends the side-scrolling of the classic TMNT games with the combat system and graphics of the campaign--and this game allows couch co-op for up to four players. It's brutally difficult and fun with friends. There's also a Challenge mode in which you can face down wave after wave of enemies, and a dojo where you can practice your moves.
All of this makes Out of the Shadows a blast to play, but unfortunately, some technical mistakes can detract from the experience. I experienced a crash in my first five minutes with the game; though luckily, it was the only one. The camera can be terrible, some of the textures are bland, graphical glitching is common, and the default audio settings make the dialogue hard to hear over the grating techno music. Then again, maybe that last part is for the best, considering how bad the voice acting is (especially in the comic-book-style cutscenes) and the way the turtles and their enemies blurt out the same dialogue snippets over and over again.
One gets the impression that the developers didn't quite hit their deadline. Just a little more work could have cleaned a lot of this up.
But in the grand scheme of things, these problems don't make this title unworthy. Out of the Shadows is no Game of the Year nominee, but it's a lot of fun to smack your way through the five-hour campaign and play the Arcade mode with friends. And for those of us old enough to remember the Turtles' original incarnation, it's a trip down memory lane, too.

Terror in Chile I: The Chicago Commission Report
What follows are excerpts from the report of the Chicago Commission of Inquiry into the Status of Human Rights in Chile, which visited Santiago in February, 1974. Large sections of the report are omitted, as is the separate volume of documents and other supporting evidence referred to in the text by roman numerals. The full report can be obtained by writing to Joanne Fox Przeworski, 1320 East Madison Park, Chicago, Illinois 60615, or Doris Strieter, 1600 South 14th Avenue, Maywood, Illinois 60153, or other members of the Commission. The report and documents cost $1.50, plus fifty cents for mailing costs.
The Chicago Commission of Inquiry
The Chicago Commission of Inquiry Into the Status of Human Rights in Chile (henceforth referred to as "the Commission") was constituted as an ad hoc group of Chicago citizens concerned about the conditions of human rights in Chile after the military takeover of September 11, 1973. The Commission was formed upon the initiative and with the assistance of the Chicago Citizens' Committee to Save Lives in Chile, a loose coalition of groups and individuals. Members of the Commission hold differing political views and religious beliefs. They also vary in their attitudes toward the policies of the Popular Unity government headed by the late President Salvador Allende.
The members of the Commission are:
Ernest DeMaio, General Vice President, United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE)
Abraham Feinglass, International Vice President, Amalgamated Meatcutters and Butcher Workmen
Geoffrey Fox, Instructor of Sociology, University of Illinois, Chicago; Vice President, Chicago Circle Federation of Teachers
Father Gerard Grant, S. J., Professor of Philosophy, Loyola University
George Gutierrez, Counselor, Chance Program, Northern Illinois University; Member, Human Relations Committee, Dekalb
Anna Langford, Lawyer and Alderwoman, Chicago City Council
Dean Peerman, Managing Editor, Christian Century
Joanne Fox Przeworski, Pre-Doctoral Fellow, Committee for the Comparative Study of New Nations, University of Chicago
Jane Reed, Associate General Secretary, Board of Church and Society, United Methodist Church
James Reed, Pastor, Parish of the Holy Covenant, United Methodist Church
Doris Strieter, Village Trustee, Maywood, Illinois
Frank Teruggi, Sr., father of Frank Teruggi, Jr., murdered in Chile
The members unanimously endorse the full contents of this Report.
Summary of the Findings
Given the limitations of time and resources, the Commission cannot estimate the frequency of detentions, torture, and executions in Chile. Moreover, because of the necessity to protect several of its sources, no documentation can be made public with regard to several cases of searches, seizures, detentions, and torture. [These limitations are discussed in detail in the full report of the Commission.]
The principle findings of the Commission are the following:
(1) The campaign of terror developed by the Junta seems to have assumed a systematic and organized character;
(2) Cases of politically motivated detentions are numerous: (a) the estimate of the number of persons detained as of January 20, 1974, exceeds 18,000; (b) an estimated total of 80,000 have been detained in the past six months; (c) a single list, made available to…

Cakes and Cards
Cake Number 1 was for Dean, Glenda's son who turned 11 years old. Dean wanted a guitar cake.
And this is the card I gave him
Cake Number 2 was for my (former day care) Kelly who turned 14. OOPS! forgot to get a picture of the cake before they picked it up - and they forgot to get a picture of Kelly with it. It was just a basic 9x13 with roses and words - a very last minute cake.
Cake Number 3 was for Kaela who turned 9 years old. She wanted a Gymnastics/Olympic theme.
For this one I made a card to match too...
Cake Number 4 was for a neighbor (thanks to my daughter for spreading my name around and getting me the business) - Not sure how old Elly turned, but she wanted a Raggedy Ann cake.
I made a card to match, but - here I go again - I forgot to take a picture of it.

This is the card I made for them this year. I couldn't resist this cute idea from Theresa Romani, using all the great punches to create a singing reindeer.

With the Christmas season here I wanted to share this BEAUTIFUL SONG sung by Michael Card.
I have many favorites, but this one is like number 2 on my favorite Christmas songs.
Stay tuned to Christmas morning to hear my number 1 favorite Christmas song.
I had a special treat - besides seeing Michael Card, that is... my very Special and Dear Friend, Becky and her husband came up from Fort Wayne, Indiana to come to the concert with us. Becky and I have been Pen Pals since I was 12 and she was 11 - so you do the math: (we have been Pen Pals for 41 years.)
And this is the beautiful purse/bag that she made for me for me!! She is a very gifted seamstress and I have been the recipient of many of her beautiful creations. Added as a bonus inside the purse was a 21 day devotional that I am excited about diving into.
Thank you, Becky, for a most memorable evening! I love you!!

I love this technique - I call it Faux Silk. First you stamp on tissue paper then crumple it all up, then after carefully opening it up attach it to your card stock using All Purpose Glue Stick.

Click HERE to hear a favorite song chosen especially for my out of state family and friends who don't get to enjoy the beauty of snow covering your lawn on a bright, crisp, Christmas morning. Oh how I wish we could all be together again to enjoy the day together. You know who you are...and I miss you!!
And a fun card to share... This is the card that I made for our grandson, Tyler. I kind of miss the days when my own kids were little and would go outside to play in the snow. We have a small hill going to our backyard and the kids enjoy sliding down it in the winter.

Another item I made for craft sales were these 3x3 note cards with a coordinating tote all with a cute bee theme. Well, for whatever reason, these did not sell either so earlier I revamped them - sold the tote seperately with some Bit O Honey (one of my favorites!!) candy
then I attached the 3x3 cards to a bear shaped honey container - and guess what? they ALL SOLD!! guess it is all in the packaging!!

I am simply amazed at all the cute cards I have seen by Lynda Lee using the XL Two Step Owl Punch.

Coloring with Bleach
This Technique was fun and it is so very versatile. The ladies were saying how cute it would look and what they could do with different colored card stock. I so enjoy my techniques class with these ladies. This is the card we made...
We embossed our rose image from Fifth Avenue Floral by using Versa Mark ink and black Embossing Powder then we filled up an aqua painter with liquid bleach and wherever we wanted our rose to be bleached out is where we would apply the bleach. Then by adding 2 Way Glue and Dazzling Diamonds it really makes it sparkle. One thing we did learn is that you don't leave bleach in the aqua painter because bleach will loose it's potency, and not react they way you want it to.

LAS VEGAS — Jurors who have been told to refrain from judging O.J. Simpson on his past heard a recording Thursday of a police employee exulting: "This is great. ... California can't get him. ... Now we'll be able to."
Police detective Andy Caldwell conceded the statement was made as a team of officers examined a casino hotel room where Simpson is accused of having led a kidnapping and armed robbery. Caldwell said the comment came from a civilian employee of the police department, not a sworn officer.
The comments were picked up on a digital recorder that had been secretly placed by Thomas Riccio, who had arranged a meeting in the hotel room between Simpson and two sports memorabilia dealers that escalated into a confrontation last year.
Riccio testified later Thursday that a plan to recover the former football star's personal property worked perfectly "until the gun came out."
"They were giving it back," Riccio said of the dealers. "There was no reason for the gun to come out."
Simpson and co-defendant Clarence "C.J." Stewart have pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping, armed robbery, coercion and assault with a deadly weapon. Four former co-defendants have agreed to testify.
Simpson has said he didn't ask anyone to bring guns and that he didn't know anyone in the room was armed. Stewart maintains he relied on Simpson's assurances that he was only going to recover some personal property.
Officer says investigation unbiased
Simpson's lawyer, Yale Galanter, pressed Caldwell on the recorded statement that referred to getting Simpson. He asked if police were conducting "what's supposed to be an unbiased investigation."
Caldwell said they were.
"And they're prejudging him; they want to get Mr. Simpson?" Galanter asked.
"I can't say what someone else is thinking," Caldwell said.
When prosecutor Chris Owens took over questioning Caldwell, he asked how the detective researched ownership of the items taken from the room. Caldwell tried to say he contacted a lawyer for Fred Goldman, the father of Ronald Goldman, who was slain along with Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994. Galanter quickly objected, and Caldwell was barred from continuing.
Riccio, a California collectibles dealer, testified that he hoped to make some money brokering a deal between Simpson and two memorabilia dealers offering a cache of Simpson mementos for sale, Arthur Beardsley and Bruce Fromong.
Riccio acknowledged he set up a meeting after Beardsley asked him to become involved. He said Beardsley told him not to tell Simpson, but he immediately did.
"O.J. said, 'This is personal stuff that was stolen from my house years ago. I want to get it back,'" Riccio said.
Riccio said the plan to confront Beardsley and Fromong and retrieve the items went according to plan, until a weapon was displayed.
"Everything was perfect until the gun came out," he said.
Riccio's testimony was interrupted several times while attorneys argued about whether recordings he made that day, including one in which he met Simpson at a hotel-casino pool, were complete and transcripts of the conversations were accurate.
"There were many of them where the transcripts were wrong," Riccio said.
After morning testimony ended, a 49-year-old woman was detained when she approached Stewart, apparently seeking an autograph. Authorities said the woman was not arrested. The jury had already left the room.

It seems when summer is having its last hurrah before fall, a real party stopper comes into bloom — ragweed.
It seems when summer is having its last hurrah before fall, a real party stopper comes into bloom — ragweed.
Its yellow blooms are so potent, one plant can produce up to 1 billion pollen grains.
When the wind carries those grains, as many as 10 to 20 percent of Americans are overcome with late-season allergies, causing them to erupt in sneezing fits, along with all the other discomforting symptoms of "hayfever" or allergic rhinitis.
For allergy sufferers, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. are the witching hours, so Dr. Terry Baksh, a primary care physician at Health Call Primary Care in Norwich, recommends taking antihistamines in the morning.
"They are your first line of defense," said Baksh of antihistamines such as Benadryl.
"If they don't work, you can try for symptomatic relief by adding decongestants and a non-steroid inhaler."
However, some people may need to get relief from steroid inhalers, known by names such as Nasonex, Flonase and Nasocort. Baksh also mentioned a second generation of antihistamines — Claritin and Allegra. Fortunately, they cause less symptoms of drowsiness, and Claritin can now be bought over the counter.
"It's best for folks to take these medications regularly during the allergy season," said Dr. Jennifer Bellino, an internal medicine specialist at the William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich. "If they find one of the newer antihistamines makes them a little drowsy, they can take it at night — it's still effective for the morning."
Bellino recommends people prone to allergies see their doctor in late July or early August, just before ragweed pollen erupts, to make sure they have nasal steroids on hand a few weeks before they need it.
Like many doctors, Baksh and Bellino recommend people stay away from the allergens that bother them.
With something such as ragweed, turning on the air conditioner won't be the cure, but it will keep people indoors, away from the pollen, Baksh said.
Bellino said other tactics for allergy sufferers include thoroughly cleaning the main room where you stay, eliminating carpeting and draperies or cleaning them regularly, washing bedding frequently and in high temperatures to eliminate dust mites, encasing the mattress and box spring in a zippered cover, banning pets from the bedroom, keeping stuffed toys to a minimum and purchasing an air filter and making sure air conditioner filters are kept clean. Also, keeping windows closed will keep pollen outside, she advised.
Ragweed, named for its ragged leaves, grows only for one season, but its seeds can sprout even years later if conditions are right. The plants will release their pollen from late August until frost.
Most people develop seasonal allergies — allergies that get kicked up by, for instance, tree pollen in late March and early April, and grass by mid May and late June — in childhood.
Perennial allergies happen year-round, with reactions often to dust mites, mold and certain foods and pets.
To keep allergy symptoms under control, Baksh said people should become aware of their triggers and use dehumidifiers to keep mold under control, replace feather pillows with polyester ones and use non-allergenic down. He also recommends sensitive people avoid wool and cotton clothing, and instead choose synthetic fabrics for clothing.
And if you start sneezing uncontrollably one day, you may have developed an allergy.
"If you've never had an allergy as a child, that doesn't mean you can't get them as an adult," said Baksh.

Straight story: Keswick goes the tapas route
Misconceptions die hard. For years, Dish thought an exposed belly was called a mid-drift and that the chorus of Glen Campbell's song from Rhinestone Cowboy was "Country boy, you've got your feet in a lake."
Now it's time to confess yet another misconception: only club members or rich people eat at Keswick Hall. Maybe it's that imposing iron gate. Maybe its Keswick's own fault for marketing itself as such an exclusive club.
"Yeah, there's definitely a misconception about Keswick," says Dean Maupin, Keswick's chef de cusine, "...but it's wide open."
Maupin is talking about "The Bar" which opened about a year ago and now offers a tapas menu to accompany its impressive wine selection.
"We just have a lot of fun with it," Maupin says. "Nothing is planned, we just kind of 'cook off the cuff' with the ingredients we have available that week." Some of the off-the-cuff offerings include grilled shrimp in garlic aioli, lamb loin in a roasted red-pepper sauce, dates wrapped in bacon, bocadillas and other Spanish-themed treats.
While The Bar can't compete with the traffic at the hip late-night scene at Mas, an in-town tapas bar, Maupin's menu sure can. Dish was impressed with the fresh ingredients and Maupin's presentation. According to Keswick's wine man, Richard Hewitt, The Bar also boasts an extensive selection of sherries that are traditionally served with tapas.
Of course, Dish still wondered if Keswick Hall's highbrow sensibilities might be a little off-putting, despite Maupin's everyman approach. So Dish put the place to a test in the form of four-year-old Cole.
While Hewitt talked wine, and dining room supervisor Scott Meynig served as host, Cole blew bubbles in his Sprite and did a kind of monkey dance on the bar floor. When a delicious and architecturally impressive chocolate gateau arrived, complete with gold-leaf topping, Cole took a few bites and then smashed the dessert creation into a pudding with his spoon.
"Aren't children wonderful," Meynig declared with a tired smile.
All in all, Dish thinks that Keswick passed the Cole test, and therefore cured our misconceptions, thanks in large part to Romanian bartender Daniel Borteanu, who treated the little man just like everyone else.
Notch'd update
Last week, Dish tried to get hold of Cathy & Haden Berry at Three Notch'd Grill, with no luck. Finally, we managed to catch Haden Berry for a quick update.
"It was pretty crazy the first couple of weeks," says Berry. That fast start is a testament to the couple's reputation as Duner's long-time kitchen aces. In fact, the Three-Notch'd got off to such a fast start that the restaurant didn't even have a proper sign, just a banner nailed to the side of the building that the wind had twisted backwards.
"We got a sign yesterday," says Berry. "We just put it up." So how is the Three-Notch'd different from Duner's?
"Well, it's more moderately priced," says Berry, "and we have a larger variety of sandwiches..." Suddenly, Berry says he's too busy to talk and asks us to call back later. Obviously, Berry cares more about making dishes than talking about them– a good sign.
Cam's corner
Back in Charlottesville, word on the street has it that Cam McNair, the burley former Mas cook (but no relation to Dish) is planning to open a Cajun-style restaurant on Second Street called Bayou. According to Mas's Tomas Rahul, McNair's Creole food is the real deal. If you like authentic Cajun cooking– gumbo, jambalaya and the rest– then Dish suggests you tune in next week for an update on this little taste of New Orleans in Virginia.
The Bar at Keswick, surprisingly affordable
