LOS ANGELES, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- The doctor behind bars for the death of Michael Jackson says he cried when he heard the U.S. pop star's family lost a wrongful-death lawsuit against AEG Live.
A jury announced Wednesday it found the concert promoters were not liable for Jackson's death in 2009 and cardiologist Dr. Conrad Murray was not unfit for the work for which he was hired.
The Hollywood Reporter said Murray watched the verdict as it was being delivered on television.
"My immediate reaction was one of tears; certainly, I cried," Murray told the "Today" show by phone from a Los Angeles prison Thursday. "I cried because for once the world was allowed to hear some of the facts that pertained to this matter. A lot of facts that had been suppressed, much of which I was denied and my attorneys could not present during my criminal trial. I was not given a fair chance to defend myself, nor were they given an opportunity to defend me. Based on the ruling of the court, I was very relieved that at least the world had a chance of hearing some of the facts."
Murray is a few weeks away from finishing his four-year prison sentence after he was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death at the age of 50.
The surviving members of Jackson's family, including his mother and three children, sued AEG for $290 million in personal damages and unspecified damages based on what the singer could have earned by performing had he not died when he did.
The Jackson family is suing the promoters for allegedly failing to properly supervise Murray, the personal physician hired to care for Jackson as he prepared for a string of comeback shows in London.
Prosecutors in Murray's criminal case said the doctor administered lethal amounts of sedatives and anesthesia to Jackson in an effort to help him sleep.
AEG Live has argued in the civil lawsuit Jackson demanded it hire Murray to look after him, then kept his insomnia and controversial medical treatments a secret from his financial backers.

Once upon a time, a male perpetrator wearing combat gear and armed with x semiautomatic pistols and x assault rifles entered a xxxxxxxx and shot xx people, xx of them children, before turning one of the guns on himself. Xx people died at the scene and xx at a local hospital.
No motive is known, which hasn't stopped myriad pundits and mothers of disturbed youth and other self-proclaimed experts from cherry-picking as-yet-unconfirmed details to fill the vacuum created by a lack of information that commonly follows in the wake of massacres. Joining the speculation bandwagon, I'm guessing that most people are motivated by a fear of the unknown that makes them desperate to organize the chaos of what has happened. This attempt at sense-making happens every time a killer bloodies a public space.
Dave Cullen, who published a ten-year investigation on the Columbine massacre, wrote after the Aurora, Colorado, shooting last July, "Do not look for a unified theory of mass murder, a single coherent drive. It doesn't exist. Examining all the mass murderers together yields a hopeless mass of contradictions." He does identify a few common traits and three categories of mass murderers, but he emphasizes that these traits have not helped to predict future incidents.
Most troubling, in my opinion, is the tendency to enshrine victims and perpetrators in a binary set of good and evil. The perpetrator is labeled a "monster," while the victims are "saints" or "heroes." And both epithets are true, but such language is incredibly powerful in that it shuts down discussion about the complexities of the individuals involved.
There's a well-intentioned desire to honor the fallen and a fear of sympathizing in any way with the perpetrator. Such responses are designed to prevent us from imagining ourselves as victims or realizing we may know a potential perpetrator and, thus, bear some responsibility to help prevent future massacres. The last thing we want to do is relate to these characters, which is what they are to us. Psychic distance serves as a valve that helps us feel connected to some degree while managing the flow of the horrible truth.
Which makes it possible to push the horror away. For most, violence remains intermittent and, hey, the homicide rate has actually been going down. Between spirited if short-lived public outcries to each massacre of mostly middle-class white people, gun violence typically occurs to people of color and/or the poor. Thinking about any of that would be too painful. Speaking up about gun control might be politicizing the situation.
Furthermore, without crime, what would we have for entertainment in our culture? Not that the crime fictions we enjoy are based on fact. I mean, they are, but fictional fact. Those aren't real characters in the morgue. They just die for the sake of the story. Their grisly ends are just imagined. We're not a violent culture. We're simply entertained by fictional violence. And we get off on the catharsis. And we get off on getting off.
We're just filling the vacuum of the unknown. We can close the book whenever the terror becomes too much for us. Or at least some of us can.

Accommodating Mounce's Parsing Order
As I mentioned yesterday, I'm teaching my family Greek using Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek grammar. We're now at the point where they're learning to parse first and second declension nouns, and Mounce suggests that we do so by naming the case first, followed by the number, and then the gender. That is different from the default order in Accordance. If you hover over a noun and look at the Instant Details, you'll see the parsing listed by gender, then number, then case.
In order to avoid the confusion that might be caused by these different parsing orders, I decided to have Accordance follow Mounce's suggested order. It will require a bit of adjustment on my part, since I'm used to Accordance's default order, but I figure that's better than making my wife and kids switch between two slightly different methods of parsing.
Thankfully, customizing the parsing in Accordance is easy. Just open the Preferences and choose Arrange Tags in the list of settings. You'll see a list of tags for Greek and for Hebrew.
To rearrange the order in which any given tag is listed, just drag it up or down the list. I want case to appear before gender and number, so I'll drag it up in the list above gender. I also want gender to appear after number, so I'll make that change as well. Since the gender, number, and case of participles is handled separately, I'll rearrange those tags as well. When I'm finished, my new tag order looks like this:
Now I just need to click OK to save my changes, and the new parsing order will be used in the Instant Details.

It's a detail, but this is one of my favorite things in Accordance--I believe it's alone in major Bible softwares in offering this option. It's a good option to have!

I first came across David Hockney's work through the lithographs of Celia Birtwell, wy back in the 70s when I was an art student studying printmaking. I loved these images, the simplicity of the line work with its subtle wash – stylised but capturing a moment.
On exploring Hockney's work further I saw an exhibition of his LA Swimming Pool series and again I was struck, not just by the naturalness of the image/subject matter but at the complexity of the structure and composition that made these images so alluring; they were so quintessentially modern.
Many decades later I was fortunate to see a wonderful exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia which showcased the work of Dale Chihuly as well as featuring Hockney's A Bigger Grand Canyon. For me it was one of those 'wow' moments. Coming out of the wonderfully curated Chihuly show – which was akin to walking through Aladdin's Cave – to see this incredibly strange painting consisting of many small canvas boards in the strangest colours was one of the highlights of my art viewing.
What made it so special was a short film that accompanied the work: David Hockney talking about his process in constructing this amazing piece. Not just the footage of him driving his convertible along mountain rides listening to Bach, but also his using photographs of multiple viewpoints and then the process of colour selection. I finally sat down right in front of that painting and it took my breath away. I was able to experience it from so many different point of views (perspectives) that it wasn't a static image, it was an alive and deeply moving colourful experience. Sadly, the NGA has now hung this masterpiece on a wall over the escalators so that it's impossible for anyone to really see/view/experience it, or indeed understand what all the fuss is about. I don't understand why this decision was made as I think it remains of the true great works in the collection.
One of Hockney's 'tricks' is to eschew traditional perspective – a fifteenth century construct which is fixed – and opt for a more subjective view. He sees his objects from multiple perspectives, from many views and many sides and angles and manages to capture the visual experience of being in the presence of the depicted image. Masterful.
So it was with great anticipation that I wanted to see the NGV's exhibition of Hockney's new works: Current. And yet, when I expressed my interest and asked if people wanted to go see it with me, the response was lukewarm: 'nah', not really interested.
I had talked to a friend who had seen it and she related how impressive the digital/iPhone images were and Hockney's discussion of his art making on video. I definitely wanted to see this. I had also seen a very short interview with Hockney on SBS about this show and the glimpse of the images impressed me with their bright colour and sheer joyfulness. I was going to see this show.
And so I did. I managed to convince a friend to see it with me – he and I went to uni together to study Art History and although he was sceptical about the show, he was gracious enough to come. I'm extremely pleased to say that he was blown away and thought it one of the best shows he'd seen. Hockney is not just a master of colour he is a master of invention.
Hockney's use of the iPhone (and then the iPad) to create 'pictures' is mesmerising. His use of colour is breathtaking and his skill, well, I think he is one of the greats. And at age 90 he is making inroads and creating works that not only astound but delight. If 'joy' was something I had expected to experience, I found it to be so much more than I could ever have contemplated. There were so many 'wow' moments in viewing those works; so many mouth-gaping 'how is that possible?' that I came away convinced that I had seen one of the greatest shows of the 21st century (second only to an exhibition of Anselm Kieffer that I saw at the Royal Academy of Arts in London).

Private investigator claims Whitney Houston was murdered
WHITNEY Houston was murdered by drug dealers and a new surveillance video proves it, a Hollywood private investigator is claiming.
Paul Huebl says he has turned over evidence to the FBI that shows the 48-year-old singer was killed over a drug debt in February.
The medical examiner ruled that she drowned in her bathtub at the Beverley Hilton hotel after taking a cocktail of cocaine, marijuana and several legal drugs.
The National Enquirer is reporting that Huebl discovered the plot to kill the troubled star by several 'high powered drug dealers who sent thugs to collect a huge debt she owed for drugs.'
She owed $1.5million to dealers, according to some reports.

Scottish Water International has just announced that they are going into a partnership with Polish engineering firm ECM Group Polska.
The partneship agreement is going to be announced today, 30 March, during a conference of polish water companies in Brzeg. Scottish Water and ECM Group Polska will be combining their expertise in water industry asset management allowing them to offer valauble services to Polish water companies. In a statement released by Scottish Water, Nigel Ayton Managing Director of Scottish Water International, said: "This is an exciting oppurtunity for Scottish Water International and ECM Group Polska. Our combined expertise and experience complement each other well and the service we can offer to water companies in Poland is extremely valuable."
Poland has about 700 water utility companies. They are owned by the municipalities after a restructuring in the 1990's resulted in the state relinquishing its control over water and wastewater facilities.
Piotr Pazdan, Director of International Business Development for ECM Group Polska, said: "There has been significant investment in the infrastructure in Poland since its accession to the EU. By co-operating with Scottish Water International, we can provide exactly the expertise that is needed to help utilities assess how to ensure the best service within the funding that is available to them. We have chosen Scottish Water International as our partners because we have seen the improvements that they have made in Scotland to service and efficiency."

While I have never been hospitalized as a direct result of my multiple sclerosis, I read that many of you have. Maybe it's time to talk about hospital stays and MS.
To say that I haven't been admitted to a hospital because of MS may be akin to saying that people don't die from a fall from a bridge; "…it's the landing that kills ya." I have been "admitted" on every occasion I was dosed with Novantorone — albeit for three or four hours. I have also undergone two surgeries on my hip (one being a full replacement) due to bone death caused by corticosteroids. Unlike some, however, I've never stayed in a hospital because of an MS exacerbation.
When I look back on it I likely would have been a candidate for a stay on the ward during my diagnosing attack. A caring wife, attentive friends and Irish stubbornness allowed me to recover from that episode in my own bed (and on my own floor, and in my own bathroom…).
In a purely and utterly un-scientific review of comments over the years (ok, I'm just trying to recall them) it seems that about 10-20 percent of people have spent some time in the hospital during a/or because of an MS attack. Knowing the cost of those beds, rising deductibles and difficulties with health insurance companies, I thought we'd see if we could get a little more specific on the topic.
Have you spent time in a hospital (or nursing home, or respite care facility, etc) because of an MS attack? If not for an attack, what were you hospitalized for? How long was your stay? How about multiple stays in the land of squeaky, white shoes?
I'm not the expert on this topic. I look forward to learning from those who have gone before.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

I put together 4 Remotely Triggered Underwater Strobe outfits. I've been using one quite often, two less often. I've used three a few times, and I think I've used all four maybe three or 4 times. Probably less. Just today I tested the cables, strobes and triggers I'm offering for sale here - all working perfectly. The prices below are what I'm asking for each of the individual components. Of course, I can build out a complete remotely triggered strobe unit (with clamp, arms and other cables I have in inventory for the Gorilla pods, etc.) and give you the bundled good-guy discount of the decade. All prices include shipping to any non-FPO address in the US. Please send any questions to me. Thanks! Ken ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two Ikelite DS-125 Strobes. These two strobes are my number 5 and 6 - they saw very, very little use and are in excellent condition. Serial numbers are 3634 and 6973. Both with NiMH batts. Never flooded, never dropped - both work perfectly. I have the diffusers for them and the Manual, as well (not pictured, but will be shipped with the strobes.) I have two chargers. One is a little flakey at the tip - just needs to be wiggled a bit and it works fine. The other is perfect. Offering the pair for $775, delivered Ikelite Sync Cords (Cables) I have several sync cords available. These are my three best - one has never been in the water, and the other two have been used a time or two and are in near-mint condition. These sync cords have the Nikonos connection on one end, and an Ikelite connection on the other end. These are not the beaters you bought last time. The connections are perfect, clean and un-damaged. $80 for the New Cord, $60 ea. for the gently used ones. New cord Gently Used Sync Cords TriggerFish Remote Triggers These things are brilliant. Machined from aluminum, filled and virtually bulletproof. Initial Tfish review on WetPixel is here: Linky. I have two of these available. I think I paid about $190 each for them, delivered to SoCal. The two I'm selling here are units #3 and #4 - very, very little use. I have two available. I'm offering them here for $140 each. Gorilla Pods After some research, I decided the Gorilla Pod "Focus" was the answer got these remotely triggered strobes. Aluminum, Negatively Buoyant, tough, flexible, strong and stealthy... it would make the perfect platform. I added a ULCS ball mount so I'd have some flexibility in mounting options and articulation. Wrap the base of the ball mount in electrical tape before you wrench it down tight! This thing is solid and ready to work with. I have two available. I'm offering these Gorilla Pods with the UCLS ball mount for $75 each.

The XML Mystique
What Is XML?
Reading and Showing XML Data with JavaScript
The XML Mystique
The eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is one of those languages that you hear a lot about, and generally in the superlative, but not too many people are exactly sure what it is. At this point in time, both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer are on the verge of fully connecting JavaScript and XML using the W3C Document Object Model (DOM). Because the HTML, JavaScript, and XML DOMs are beginning to form around the same object model, you can better understand where JavaScript and HTML are headed by understanding XML.
If you have ever seen stockbrokers at work on Wall Street, you might have noticed that they have several computers and monitors. What you are seeing is actually different databases being sent over different proprietary systems. Instead of needing different systems for each database, XML can put any database into a format that can be read by any computer with the right browser. At this point in time, XML is ahead of the browsers.
Because this single chapter is a scratch on the surface of XML, I highly recommend a more thorough treatment of the topic. Inside XML, by Steven Holzner (New Riders, 2001), is an excellent source of XML and has a great chapter on using JavaScript with XML. Mr. Holzner's book has more than 1000 pages that look into just about every nook and cranny of XML, and it is well worth taking a look at.

I'm sneaking this post in just in time! It's my last day at work before a four-day long Labor Day weekend, and I've been wearing white clothes all week. I hate when it's time to relegate my white pants and dresses to the back of my closet (er, shoved under my bed since closet too small), not only because it indicates the dismissal of summer, but I just love happy, bright colors.
But, if I wanted to bring back the memories of summer – the sunshine, swimming pools, green grass, wine, cocktails enjoyed while watching sunsets from the patio <swoon>, all I would need to do is re-read Danielle Ganek's latest novel, THE SUMMER WE READ GATSBY.
I read the iconic GREAT GATSBY post college, when I was in a selfish haze enjoying my first summer as an "adult" in Chicago. I enjoyed the story and the fanciful clothing and setting, but think I missed some of the finer points of this "Great American Novel." Reading the importance (er, "influence on the character) of the novel in Ganek's latest made me want to rush out and find a copy to read again (also, to discover that elusive first edition with dust jacket supposedly worth more than $100k!).
This is a fun read, starting off with highlighting the differences between two half- sisters, thrown together for a month in Southampton in the home of a now-deceased beloved aunt. Pecksland (yes, that's her name), better known as "Peck" is a 32 year old NYC society gal who's a wannabe actress (I think we all know a few of these), while Stella Blue Cassandra Olivia Moriarty (who goes by Stella or Cassie) is a shy 28-year old brought up in with conservative European ways, with no living relatives other than the eccentric Peck.
The two sisters are both adrift in their lives, as Peck's dreams have yet to be realized, while Stella recently went through a divorce and is still reeling from the death of her aunt. The ramshackle bungalow in Southampton brings these two characters, along with a couple other "Fools" (their aunt was very supportive of struggling artists and allowed non-paying "fools" to live in the garage) and takes a fun romp through the bustling community that's the Hamptons in the summer. Obviously, their sharp edges towards each other become more like sea glass (how's that analogy?!) as they warm up and end up actually liking each other.
Now I feel all nostalgia for my summer that's over. Ganek does a great job showing the dichotomy and place of the Hamptons – new money vs. old, and the huge new mansions though large in size may be small in taste. There were fewer pool parties and wine tours than I would have expected – since really, what were these people doing all day!? But she did share friendships, love interests, family drama and a little bit of mystery. This is truly a summer read (or a firelight read when you're trying to bring back summer thoughts), best enjoyed on the Long Island Railroad, when you have a patio, pool and beach bonfire in your imminent future.
Oh yes, and the aunt's name is Lydia so I think I see a Southampton bungalow in my future (dad, you reading this? It'd be a great 26th b-day gift/investment!). I've already had quite the Southampton summer, thanks to my bf's share house as well as Ganek's sumptuous novel.
Good-Bye Hamptons, hello September.
"Sunbathing dress" may seem like an oxymoron, until now! Seen during Milan Fashion Week on Monday, Agatha Ruiz De La Prada debuted:
Ok, I realize this directly relates not at all to books, but I was less than enamored with my own previous post on "The Last Lecture" and was determined to find something more interesting, and I think this dress may be it! Especially in this recession, this saves you money from buying two dresses, since it can be worn as a "sexy" pyramid dress when closed, or for a totally new look open one, or both, flaps!
I can just picture myself reading in the park or walking down Michigan Ave. and when the sun makes an appearance, I can just open my dress to soak up the rays! What fun, the possibilities are endless…

You are probably aware that Cooper's Beach in Southampton was rated the #1 beach in America in 2010 and that Main Beach in East Hampton was rated #4. There is a group that rates the top 10 beaches, in order, every year.
What you probably don't know is that there is another group that rates beaches, but only beaches in America that have been in trouble due to some unexpected calamity but have been restored by the Army Corps of Engineers. This rating competition is to the regular competition what the Handicapped Olympics is to the regular Olympics. Only the disabled can enter. And as far as beaches go, where there are several thousand that compete in the regular competition, only a few dozen beaches are in the restored competition.
It turns out, here in the Hamptons, there is among our many sparkling beaches one that meets the criteria to enter the Restored Beach Competition. It is the four-mile long ocean beach in front of the Village of Westhampton Beach. It existed for several hundred thousand years as a real, God-given beach, but then for a 10-year period during the 1980s and 1990s, it was gone, the victim of a calamity. Now it's back and being replenished periodically by the Federal government at a total cost of $80 million.
Last week, this beach finished first in the competition for the best restored beach in America, beating out 25 other restored beaches, among them the beach at Panama City, Florida, which finished a close second.
The general public, including this writer because I am on his mailing list, was egged on to make this happen by Gary Vegliante, the esteemed Mayor of the Village of Westhampton Beach. He found out that unlike the regular beach selection process which includes test tubes, sand in laboratories and all sorts of scientific studies, this competition was by popular vote online.
"You know our beach is the best," Vegilante wrote. "You can vote once a day. Vote often. We've got to win this!" There was a link to click. There you could see all the named beaches – Isle of Palms, S.C.; Ocean City, Md.; Pacifica State Beach, Calif.; and of course the hated Panama City Beach, Fla. which, for the entire time of this competition ran neck and neck with West Hampton Dunes right down to the wire, which was April 27, where, finally, uh, West Hampton Dunes put them away.
There was much comment about the competition online where the voting was taking place.
Here are some of the things I read:
"Panama Beach will harass you there if you aren't of the majority race (White,)" somebody wrote.
"I was treated just fine there," someone else wrote. "I just came home from that beach. I go there every day."
The history of the Village of West Hampton Dunes, founded in 1993 and centered around its roughly four mile long beach, has been the subject of several documentaries. Legends have grown up around it. It is arguably the only beach in America that was destroyed by the activities of Hippies in the late 1960s.
In 1969, hippies on Long Island were demonstrating by the thousands against the possibility of a nuclear power plant the Long Island Lighting Company wanted to build in Shoreham. The plant, which was scheduled to cost $800 million, was beginning its construction. There were soon stories about malfunctions, bad concrete, the possibility of a meltdown when it opened. In the end, Shoreham never happened. The hippies and much of the regular population on the island were victorious after the cost of construction passed $6 billion.
A second and lesser known series of demonstrations was also being held against the construction of a proposed 21 stone jetty field that were to be built every quarter of a mile on the ocean beach from the Moriches Inlet going east and ending in Quogue. The construction approved had come about because of the devastating March 1962 Ash Wednesday Storm.
A common sight at that time was of flatbed trucks bringing in enormous boulders from Maine crossing the bridges to Dune Road. But there was talk of the damage being done to the beaches rather than the saving of them. Astonishingly, Suffolk County, which was paying for 9% of this construction (the state way paying 21% and the federal government was paying for 70%), voted to put a stop to it in the middle of it being put in. No one had quite expected that. But what a victory it was for the environment, for the naturalists, the beaches and those gutsy enough to join the marches to end it.
At the point of the stoppage, a little more than half of the jetties were already in place. There was no talk of taking them out. They are there today. And if Herman Bishop Construction had put them in beginning at the Moriches Inlet and headed east with them for every quarter of a mile, none of the subsequent catastrophe that befell Dune Road would ever have happened.
Herman Bishop Construction however, had put the jetties in from east to west. Because this was half the job, they placed the first jetty in what was supposed to be about in the middle of the jetty field when it was finished. This jetty is in front of Westhampton Beach. Then Bishop built the ones that followed to the west.
The disaster came slowly, but could not be stopped. Beginning about 1970, people noticed that just to the west of the most westerly jetty, the sand was beginning to thin and the waves of the ocean were able to crash much closer to the small oceanfront houses that had been built there.
Soon it was determined by scientists what was happening. The drifting of sand along the ocean shore goes from east to west. The 15 jetties to the east of this community were like the teeth of a comb. As the sand came along with the waves, it got caught up in the jetties. This sand, as it was supposed to, was creating millions of pounds of new beach adjacent to the jetties to protect the shoreline. But this was sand that, without the jetties, would have replenished the beaches going out to the west toward the inlet. Since there was now none coming, the beaches were vanishing in front of these houses beginning immediately at the last jetty built.
As the years went by, the ocean came closer and closer until the waves were now under some of the 260 oceanfront homes built along that stretch between Westhampton Beach and the Moriches Inlet. Soon people were beginning to abandon their homes and soon after that, some of them began falling into the sea from the pounding they were taking by the waves. Ultimately nearly 190 homes were washed out. The people who owned them lost everything. They even lost the ground they were sitting on. By 1992, the sea, for lack of a sand barrier to keep it at bay, had washed right through to Moriches Bay. At its worst, this inlet was nearly half a mile wide and all the land was now underwater with the houses gone, and also Dune Road itself, the telephone poles, the sewer lines the telephone lines, the electric lines and everything else. It was a new and very horrendous inlet, with the ocean now threatening the last mile of homes, now isolated on an island that ended, to the west at the Moriches Inlet. These homes also had been abandoned. Without the road, there was no government able to get out there, no police, no ambulances no nothing. Who was getting out there, by boat, and mostly at night, were the vandals. Soon, the 200 homes there were stripped of valuables. Also stripped and mostly demolished was a well known and beloved nightspot on the ocean there called Morgan's White Cap.
This story just sounds impossible, doesn't it? An entire community of summer homes, suffering this sort of catastrophe in the Hamptons. But it happened.
Of course, the lawyers had a field day, at least at first. Representing the homeowners whose homes were swept away, the each filed lawsuits against every entity they could think of that had caused this catastrophe. That would include the County of Suffolk, the State of New York, the Federal Government, Herm Bishop Construction and the Town of Southampton. The Village of Westhampton Beach was not sued. The damage done began just to the west of the village line on Dune Road. That portion of Dune Road out to the end was prior to that time under the jurisdiction of Southampton Town.
Within a year, there had been so many lawsuits filed by these poor homeowners, that it was estimated it might take ten years just to untangle them. And legal guesses were that these lawsuits would be going nowhere. At that time, you could buy an underwater, oceanfront former building lot from one of these former homeowners for $5,000.
In 1993, some of the former residents of this now inundated catastrophe got together on dry land to try to think of a new way of tackling this problem. You could ask Mayor Vegliante who the others were, but he was one of them. At the time, he was just the owner of a couple of restaurants in the Bay Shore area who had one of these summer homes there on Dune Road he visited.
As it happened, Vegliante's home was one of the few that was untouched by the disaster. It stood facing the bay, not the ocean, and it was just adjacent to the last jetty. It was possible to go there, sit out on the deck and look out at everything wiped out to the west.
The idea that created the miracle came from that meeting on Vegliante's deck. The idea was—what happens if we form an Incorporated Village? There had not been one before. There had been about 230 homes on that peninsula, but now there were maybe five, Vegliante and a few others. That was it.
It was one thing for individuals to petition the federal government about the sea swallowing up your home, a lawyer at this meeting said. It was another entirely if a whole village was wiped out.
The plan was, and this plan succeeded, to create a legal entity on this catastrophe called the Village of West Hampton Dunes, find all the residents up-island who owned the underwater land, have them vote such a village into existence, and then petition the Federal Government. They could write this on official village stationery.
Dear Mr. President: Help! Our village has been wiped out by a natural disaster. We need to be called a disaster area. We need to have our peninsula restored. We need to have our land bolstered up against the sea. Then we can rebuild.
And so the letter went out. Do you think they made this happen? Does a bear pee in the woods? The Federal Government swung into action. There was no FEMA then, but whatever there was it was mobilized and sent in to survey the damage. The feds would prop things up, treat those who were injured and then fix this poor destroyed village. We can't allow an American village to go down like this!! How old was this village did you say?
Today, the Incorporated Village of West Hampton Dunes is wall to wall million dollar summer homes. They sit behind a dune. The Army Corps also came in with steel sheeting and essentially created a 60-foot deep underpinning so that the island will never come completely apart again. I visited these waters when the Army Corps of Engineers was building this. The bulkheads were being pounded into the sea, giant corrugated steel panels of the sort you might see creating a dryblock inside of which you would repair destroyers or battleships.
Thus did the government re-create everything that got destroyed, and made formerly middle class people with little homes on the beach into formidable millionaires with oceanfront homes on their property.
These homes are also guaranteed never to fall into the sea again. The promise of the Army Corps of Engineers is that every couple of years, for a total of 30 years until 2027 they would be back with millions of tons of sand for this four-mile stretch to replace any that got washed away during the interval.
It's a compliment from the Village to the Army Corps of Engineers for the Village to win the First Prize in the restored beach competition. There are other restored beaches around the country. Twenty-four of them. But ours is the best.

This isnt buttermilk its khaara lassi, but it sounds good
May 27, 2012
Hi close friends. I observed this awesome web site from google. I was seeking absolutely a unique expression but bing suggested me this website a couple of occasions. I entered to here and read lots of items here.
June 20, 2013
I apologise, but, in my opinion, you commit an error. I suggest it to discuss. Write to me in PM, we will talk.
Neer Mor is a refreshing summer drink made with all the goodness of buttermilk, spices and herbs to beat the summer heat. Amma whisked some buttermilk flavored with all fresh ingredients she had in hand, poured them in the mud/ clay pots. She then served them chilled ~ it is true bliss to have the chilled Neer Mor with all the fresh flavors from the herbs and the mud/ clay pot. The mercury has been soaring in Seattle and its neighboring cities over the past few days with temperatures already in the 90s... During these hot summer days I make Neer Mor / spiced buttermilk quite often~Amma`s recipe to cool the body.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recently weighed in with a report on how to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes.
As you no doubt have heard by now, Great Lakes states are edgy about the prospect of an invasion of the leaping silverfin.
The Corps report, released last week, lists eight different approaches to the problem of keeping the fish at bay.
While some options use nominal measures, more elaborate plans carry an $18-billion cost for work that would span 25 years.
Initial reaction to the report was underwhelming.
The Illinois Chamber of Commerce released a lengthy retort that concluded, "Based on the work completed to date, the Illinois chamber does not support a program that would necessitate closing access to the Great Lakes from the Chicago area waterways. We are not persuaded by this report that separation unique to Illinois access is the best, most cost-effective or most appropriate defense against the Asian carp entry into the Great Lakes."
But the chamber reiterated that it's all for keep the carp out of the Great Lakes.
Columnist Greg Hinz of Crain's Chicago Business was straightforward in his view of the Corps report.
"Can we get real here? The odds of Congress and Midwest states springing for $18.4 billion in this fiscal environment are beyond minimal. If local environmentalists really want to save the lake, something a lot, lot more pragmatic is going to be needed," noted Hinz.
Brian Watt, a consultant with Select Logistics Network, a company that's helped send Asian carp to China, thinks a pragmatic approach is to get on with fishing the carp out of the river.
"We have been working directly with the Asian carp issue for the last four years as a supplier to Big River Fish in Griggsville, along with cooperative efforts with the state of Illinois and the federal government via President Obama's Council on Environmental Quality," stated Watt.
Rather than talk about barriers and dams to control the fish, Watt suggests an organized fishing effort would reduce the Illinois River carp population, create jobs and prove profitable.
There's a large dose of political panic when it comes to this fish story, he added.
"The well-heeled set of economic and political stakeholders in Michigan stare at their counterparts across Lake Michigan in Chicago with suits and countersuits, getting nothing done other than feeding attorneys and politicians. Legal fees from claims and counterclaims have become a cottage industry. All the while, the fish population continues to thrive," stated Watt.
Peoria is the place where we need to gather these fish no matter where the market is. The point is spending money on boats, nets and flash freezers makes more sense than billion-dollar blockades.

Tarter: Well-organized fishing effort could deplete Asian carp

The friends of "Jackass" star Ryan Dunn — who died in a car crash earlier this week — considered him such a terrible driver after a series of wrecks in cars he owned or borrowed that they joked about expecting him to die in a car crash.
The sound in this clip comes from the DVD commentary of "Viva La Bam," the "Jackass" spinoff on MTV that followed Bam Margera and his friends, including Dunn. In this clip, Bam, his mother April and pal Tim Glomb talk about how Dunn had wrecked six cars of his own and three that belonged to other people. "I have him in the death pool for death by vehicle," Glomb says at one point.
Police said Dunn was driving his Porsche 911 GT3 at least 130 mph before the crash early Monday, and that his blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit.
Hat tip to I can be Stig.

Serious Eats Gift Guide: Sweets
You can never go wrong giving someone something sweet for the holidays. Sweet things make people happy. Not just chocolate or cookies or cake either. Perfectly ripe fruit brings a smile to my face as well. Here's our guide to sweet things to give and get for the holidays. Prices don't include shipping unless otherwise specified.
Caramel Almond Sticks
Charles Chocolates owner and chocolatier Chuck Siegel has taken the salted caramel to new heights with his caramel almond sticks. He takes his fleur de sel caramels, enrobes them in 65 percent bittersweet chocolate, and coats them in toasted almonds. $11 for 4.5 ounces
Cherry Pie
A few years ago I had the privilege of working in the kitchen of the Grand Traverse Pie Company. I got to watch some talented pie bakers make pie after pie by hand. Unfortunately I still cannot make a good crust on my own. The double-crusted pies that come out of the Grand Traverse ovens have a flaky, tender exterior and firm, nongoopy fillings. The local Michigan Montmorency cherries (either fresh or quick-frozen) make a particularly fine pie. Grand Traverse's crumb pies aren't too shabby, either. $24.99 for one pie
Conserves and Fruit Butters
There are so many mediocre imported and domestic jams, jellies, and preserves it's almost a relief to come across June Taylor's beautifully crafted conserves and fruit butters made from ripe local northern California produce. The traditional method used in producing these conserves results in a soft set texture. These conserves have a very low sugar content and no commercial pectin. Her Damson plum conserves are a perfectly balanced blend of sweetness and acidity. $12 to $13 for 8 ounces
Everyone seems to have a favorite buttercrunch maker, and I'm no different. Roni-Sue's buttercrunch is made from handmade caramelized butter toffee made from pure European cultured sweet cream butter and sugar. Roni then hand-dips it in milk chocolate and hand-rolls it in toasted walnuts. $25 for 12 ounces; call 212-260-0421 (online ordering not available)
Valencia Oranges, Red Star Ruby Grapefruits, Mandarin Oranges
There's a lot of citrus fruit flying all over the country this time of year, but I've yet to taste to equal the juicy sweetness of Polito Family Farms' varied citrus crops. The Valencias are great, and so are the Red Star Ruby grapefruits, but the Satsuma Mandarins will make you forget all the awful clementines shipped in from Morocco and Spain. $27 for ten oranges including shipping; call 760-749-1636 (online ordering not available)
Frozen Custard
Having done quasiscientific taste tests with frozen custards shipped in from all over the country, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Kopp's from Milwaukee, the epicenter of frozen custard activity in the country, is terrific frozen custard. What's truly amazing is how well it comes back to life after being deep frozen and shipped. Just leave it out of the freezer for 20 minutes, and it's as creamy and delicious as you would like it to be. $75 for 10 pints
Peanut Butter Cups
The Peanut Butter Company's Ultimate Peanut Butter Cup Collection features dark, milk, white, and inside-out peanut butter cups. They're all good, but I'm partial to the dark chocolate and the inside-out varieties. The inside-out features a fudge interior and a soft peanut butter exterior. $15 for 16 peanut butter cups
Cream-Nut Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Clusters
I love peanut butter cups (see above) but these peanut butter clusters are even better. They feature a rich, silky peanut butter and white chocolate center on a bed of fresh pecans, coated in fine dark chocolate. Koeze, a family-run peanut butter, nuts, and candy company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, makes these dark chocolate peanut butter clusters, which are crazy good. $16.25 for 8 ounces
Ultimate Nougat Bar
Garrison Confections' Ultimate Nougat Bar is, to my way of thinking, the ultimate adult candy bar. What's in it? Rich chocolate nougat with roasted pistachios and hazelnuts, topped with a creamy and soft caramel, enrobed in dark chocolate. $ from Garrison Confections.
Hot Chocolate
Mariebelle Lieberman fell in love with the hot chocolate she drank at Cafe Angelina in Paris, and that devilishly rich concoction inspired her to start her own hot chocolate company. MarieBelle Aztec Hot Chocolate is made with rich, single-origin Colombian cacao. I like the Aztec Dark flavor, which, when mixed with water, makes a smoky, perfectly smooth hot chocolate. $18 for 10 ounces

These days, news doesn't travel a mile a minute—it travels thousands of miles per second. Pretty tough to keep up with.
And while anybody who reads this blog is likely a smart, thoughtful and inquisitive person (ahem) who knows they should be staying up-to-date with what's going on the world, I'm guessing there are a few of you who aren't as in touch as you'd like to be. Hey, we aren't all born news junkies.
And I'll be perfectly honest—neither was I until I got into journalism school. I read a lot, but I was more interested in magazine journalism than hard news. So when I realized I needed to be making more of an effort to read the news, I wanted to find publications that broke it down in easy-to-understand chunks. The last thing anyone who's trying to educate themselves wants is to feel like an idiot.
So here's a list of 7 apps and websites that make the news easy & fun to digest:
theSkimm – A daily newsletter that sums up today's most important news in the simplest of terms with a side of sass. If you're intimidated or overwhelmed by world news, this is a great place to start, because you'll get all the important updates with the basic background you'll need on a story and you'll actually enjoy reading it.
Circa News app (iOS/Android) – Short, to-the-point articles that read well on your phone. Beautifully designed and easy to navigate. The most unique feature in this free app is the ability to follow stories you want to keep up with. Tap the follow icon while you're reading, and you'll get push notifications for any future updates, which is great for developing stories.
Vox.com – This brand-spanking-new website is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Vox aims to make all those news stories you know you should be reading (but aren't) more palatable. It uses what are called card stacks, which you can scroll through like a slideshow, to give you the background information you need. Important terms are also highlighted and clickable to launch the card stacks. Just see for yourself—it's fun to explore.
PolicyMic – You've probably noticed I link to this one a lot in my Interweb Finds posts and on Twitter. That's because it has become one of my top go-to sites not just for news, but for commentary as well. It's also written by millennials for millennials—a perspective I can of course relate to. Some of the headlines remind me a bit too much of Upworthy's hyperbolic headlines, but overall, I think it's a great resource.
Yahoo News Digest app (iOS) – This is another brand-new app that collects the best news from around the web and delivers it to you twice daily. The articles are suited for small-screen reading and break up the text with pull-quotes, tweets, images and more. You're also rewarded for reading through each of the stories with a little animation and a fun fact.
Pulse News app (iOS/Android) – This LinkedIn app lets you customize and personalize your feed by selecting from popular LinkedIn influencers like Mashable and National Geographic. It's also a social news app you can use to comment on and share articles. Great app to try out if your LinkedIn profile is collecting cobwebs.
Daily Beast Cheat Sheet – The Daily Beast is a great news resource for lengthier news reading, but the Cheat Sheet is exactly what it sounds like—a guide to the day's most important stories, stripped to the bare essentials. It features 10 news stories in the morning and 10 more at night. You can sign up for the Cheat Sheet news blast to be delivered to your inbox twice a day five days a week.

And Sometimes It is Hard Being the New Girl
In general, Grace is adjusting really well to her new school. She seems to love it. I am, overall, pretty impressed with the school. The teachers really seem to care about the kids. They put a lot of responsibility on the kids, but don't just push them over the cliff, if you know what I mean.
The week after Thanksgiving break, they are taking all 180 sixth graders to camp. For a week. As one who has been in the trenches of teaching middle school, I can say it takes a special kind of crazy to teach there. They are going to Camp Michindoh. Silly me, I thought that must be an Indian name. Nope. Mich=Michigan. Ind=Indiana. Oh=Ohio. Duh.....
Anyway I went to the parent info meeting last night and they said that each child chooses a bunk mate. Someone they know who be in their cabin so they feel like they have a friend. Then the teachers mix up the rest of the kids so they have opportunity to meet and get to know other kids. Sounded good. Except Grace hasn't been able to find a bunk mate. Everyone she asks has already found theirs.
Oregon is very much like Norwood was. There are not a lot of new students. So, in the case, the new girl is left feeling left out.
Yesterday, I also went to pick up the four younger kids up from Bible Club after school (Yes, a Bible Club held in the public school!!!!) And as we were all standing around waiting for the kids to get out, all of the parents chatted. Except with me.
Being the new girl can be hard whether you are 11 or 43.

Can You Keep A Secret?
I just went to the bathroom, with the door open, and no one walked in, or called my name, or anything! I love school!

Ayvalik and around
Thanks to its charming old quarter of picturesque Greek houses, Ayvalık, 56km south of Edremit, has long been popular with Turkish and European visitors. The closest good beaches are at the mainstream resort of Sarımsaklı, with some remoter, rockier ones on Cunda island, both easily reached from town. Ayvalık is also convenient for day-trips to ancient Pergamon, and the Greek island of Lésvos opposite, served by regular ferry.
Brief history
Due to its excellent anchorages, the area has been inhabited since ancient times, but today's Ayvalık began as the Ottoman Greek settlement of Kydoníes during the early eighteenth century. Both Turkish and Greek names refer to the local quince orchards, now vanished.
In the 1790s, the town was effectively granted autonomy by Grand Vizier Cezayırlı Hasan Paşa, who, as an Ottoman admiral, had been rescued in 1771 by the Greeks of Ayvalık following a disastrous defeat by the Russian navy. This soon became the most prosperous and imposing town on the Aegean coast after İzmir, boasting an academy, a publishing house and around twenty Orthodox churches, many of which still remain, albeit converted into mosques after 1923. Ironically, most of the people resettled here were Greek-speaking Muslims from Crete and Mytilini (Lésvos), and many of Ayvalık's older inhabitants still speak Greek.
Unlike resorts to the south that are dominated by the holiday trade, AYVALІK is relatively free of touts, and has retained a fishing fleet and olive-based commerce (including oil and green soap), as well as a prestigious classical music academy and some lively markets – Thursday is the special market day for produce from the surrounding villages, with its epicentre at two meydans either side of Annette's House pansiyon.
Almost uniquely for the Aegean, central Ayvalık is pretty much a perfectly preserved Ottoman market town, though few of the traditional trades are left. Riotously painted horse-carts still clatter through the cobbled bazaar (home to a colourful, regional produce market every Sunday), emanating from a meydan to the south where the animals and their drivers wait for commissions.
While few specific sights other than converted nineteenth-century churches punctuate the warren of inland streets, use the minarets as landmarks and surrender to the pleasure of wandering under numerous wrought-iron window grilles and past ornately carved doorways.
A few soaring brick chimneys are all that survive of the factories that once churned out olive oil by the vat-load. Nowadays the work has moved into modern factories on the outskirts.

COLD PURSUIT (Hans Petter Moland 2019)
Cold Pursuit is a remake of Fupz Aakeson's In Order of Disappearance, the Norwegian tale of a vengeful father at a wintry outpost, moved to Colorado and with Native Americans as the outcast rivals instead of Serbians. It's been rewritten, with Hans Petter MOlland back as director aiming only, he says, at "a second chance at making scenes even better." Many little details are copied and very little besides the settings changed. I can't complain; I loved the original. Liam Neeson (who else?) replaces Stellan Skarsgard as the snow-plow operator dad who sets out to kill off a whole drug gang to avenge the wrongful death of his son and touches off a gang war that leads to a massacre. Probably in the foreign setting and with a bigger budget Moland has lost some of the lightheartedness and briskness of the original. Going by Metascores (74 vs. 59) the critics liked the first version quite a lot better. The two aren't all that different. It must just be that violence seems more elegant and less crude displaced to another language, I guess. This is good Winter Movie Doldrums relief. It's wintry to an extreme, and nasty fun. But the astonishment of the original is hard to repeat. Watched 8 Feb. 2019 at Hilltop Century.

This morning, Mondo and Olly Moss revealed a set of posters that we've all been waiting a long, long time to see here at Limited Paper: Moss' take on Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings. This particular print has been rumored for months now—and was heavily rumored to be dropping at a previous Mondo-related event—but should anyone be surprised that we're seeing it drop on the eve of the release of Peter Jackson's latest trip to Middle Earth (The Hobbit, if you've been living under a rock)?
Wanna see Olly Moss' take on The Lord of The Rings? Find out where you can pick one of these up tomorrow? Meet me after the jump, folks.
Let's just cut through the bullshit and get straight to the money shot(s). Tomorrow, Mondo News will let you know when the following posters are available via the Mondo website:
- Lord of The Rings by Olly Moss
- 15×36"
- $50 regular edition of 580
- Lord of The Rings by Olly Moss
- 15×36"
- $90 variant edition of 285
At some point tomorrow morning/early afternoon/mid-day/who knows Mondo will send out a Tweet (via @MondoNews) to let us know when these are up for purchase on their site. At that point, it'll be up to you to get through the checkout process without losing your sanity. We humbly suggest that everyone just pretend that they're Frodo (or Sam, if that's your thing) attempting to get through the last leg of their trip to Mordor. Perhaps that'll give you the strength to make it through this alive.
Good luck everyone! As always, if you're an artist or gallery with artwork you'd like to see featured on Limited Paper (or if you're just some lucky bastard who happened to overhear a bit of poster-related gossip while standing in the bushes outside Martin Ansin's house) we wanna hear from you! Email Limited Paper directly at email@example.com, and be sure that you're following us on Twitter via @LimitedPaper for ongoing commentary, news updates, giveaways, and more!

Nature's Workshop Plus!

Spring! What a wonderful time of the year. The sunshine becomes warmer, dormant grass awakens from its necessary winter nap, trees seem to wake up and wave hello to all who take notice, and life springs from nearly every place we look. We also get to experience the spring rains which boost the season into its new identity. Your students might like to start a nature journal during this season. There is so much to record! Here are a few ideas.
- Begin by noting the daily weather patterns and discuss how it relates to the greening of the grass. Make a grid in the journal and record the daily temperature, rainfall quantities, amount of sunshine, types of clouds, etc. Reinforce the journal concept with a study of cloud formations.
- Sketch a tree and the growth of its leaves. Look up the scientific name of the species and record it in the journal along with its common name. Leave space in the journal for revisiting that section during the season and resketch the leaves as they grow. Once the leaf is full grown, leave enough space for a sketch of the colorful Fall leaf. You could even begin a leaf collection of several species beginning with the smallest leaves in the Spring and ending with a colorful Fall collection.
- Record beautiful poetry about the spring season in your journal. Perhaps adding appropriate Scripture, personal thoughts, and beautiful artwork could complete each entry.
- Plant seeds and record their growth. Small children love to plant bean seeds. Plant the bean seeds in a glass jar so that the growth is visible. They grow quickly, and the seeds are so large that the shoot, growing up, and the root, growing down, are very easy to see. Draw the growth stages in your journal. Label all parts of the plant. Older students might like to plant flower and vegetable plants. Record the growth data in your journal using Metric measure. Keeping careful records now allows the children to gain experience in recording data. Once they enter into the upper level sciences, lab reports will be required.
- Have an insect section in the journal. It wouldn't be Spring and Summer without our little "friends". Again, look up and record their scientific and common names, draw the species, label its parts, record where the insect lives, and what it eats. Study the metamorphosis of the insect. Does this species experience complete or incomplete metamorphosis? Draw its life cycle. Start an ant farm and observe the diligent activity of the ant. Observe in nature or via video a butterfly leaving its chrysalis. The video "City of the Bees" examines the life of the honey bee. This video shows the inside of the hive, how the bees gathers nectar, how the bees communicate, and more. It is fascinating to watch. Don't forget to serve toast and honey! Using colorful photographs as your guide, sketch the bees and their hive into the journal. Label as mentioned before.
- Begin a rock collection. Draw what you see. Hand magnifiers or stereo microscopes allow for more detailed viewing. I haven't met a child yet who didn't have a touch of "rock hound" him or her! This activity just about requires a field guide for proper identification. A beginner guide works better for children than an overwhelming larger volume which might be harder to use.
- Go on a nature hike and record what you do and see. Take a pair of binoculars for bird watching. Make sure to begin a bird section in your journal. They are so beautiful. Set up a bird feeding area in your yard and keep a field guide handy for quick identification. Learn the common birds of your area.
These are just a few ideas for you nature journal. Allow your imagination to help you plan. Your children might enjoy this activity better if they can decide which area in their journal to develop first. Always include art and poetry in the journal. Supply your students with a set of colored pencils, drawing pencils and a good eraser. One thing we have found is that children don't want to "mess-up" a page in their journal, so we recommend that each page be completed in a loose leaf format then placed in a binder when the child is satisfied with the page. If you use a binder with a clear plastic cover, the students can decorate a page and insert it into the cover for a custom look! For upper elementary and middle school students, look up the taxonomy of the species being studied and note it in the journal. The more you do toward preparation for high school biology the better.
Nature journaling will also require nature studying. The "Handbook of Nature Study", by Anna Botsford Comstock, http://www.workshopplus.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=734&idcategory=0 is an excellent resource for a teacher or parent who needs to know more about topics in nature. The book was originally published in 1911 and contains 887 pages. It is divided into 4 major sections: The Teaching of Nature Study, Animals, Plants,and Earth and Sky. It is a store house of information to help you teach you children/students about nature. Please see.http://www.workshopplus.com for information about both this book.
Below are some additional resources that you can use for your spring lesson planning. You may have to copy and paste these links into your browser.
Garden Pirate
Make the world a little greener by depositing seed "bombs" in forgotten outdoor spaces. Using fun shape molds, you can cast seed bombs from fast-growing flower seeds, growing medium, plaster gypsum, sand, and water. Once the seed bomb shapes have dried and hardened, they can be distributed in appropriate outdoor places. After a while, a beautiful cluster of flowers will explode in those spots. Learn about botany, flowering plants, seeds, nature conservation, tree planting, and more.
Nature Kaleidoscope- http://www.workshopplus.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=3127&idcategory=0
A make-your-own kaleidoscope kit.
Hanging Bird Feeder Kit- http://www.workshopplus.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=3893&idcategory=0
Adults and children will enjoy building this old fashion, hanging bird feeder.
Deluxe Insect Collecting Kit- http://www.workshopplus.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=4166&idcategory=0
This Deluxe Insect Collecting Kit includes a 12 x 18 inch insect display case, professional grade 10 inch Safety Glo insect net, foam spreading board, 100
Love Plant (Great for Mother's Day! http://www.workshopplus.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=4176&idcategory=
These carefree plants are easy and fun to grow and will thrive in any terrarium.
With so much to see and do this Spring, don't forget to take time for simple, peaceful, observation. Children need quiet time in their lives to reflect, think and form opinions about life. They can learn form observing nature, listening to nature, studying nature, drawing nature, planting, being outside, getting dirty, splashing in a creek, and chasing butterflies! If we can teach them to enjoy these lovely God-given gifts, we are giving them an enormous gift that no mass media gimmick can ever match.
Blessings to you,

Warners Bay High School
My artwork is about the introduction of the European rabbit into Australia and its destructive effect it has had our environment. I have examined the issue of preserving, preventing or exterminating introduced species. This is important to me because I sympathise with the rabbits. My work relates to personal choices I have made, such as becoming a vegetarian in support of animal rights; yet, I do also understand the value of preserving the natural landscape and indigenous species. Therefore I am left in conflict, just as the audience is left puzzled by the opinions I have expressed.

FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) Marc Sonnen connected on seven 3-pointers and had 21 points to lead Northern Iowa to an 82-77 overtime victory over George Mason, snapping Patriots' 14-game home winning streak.
Anthony James scored five of his 19 points in overtime and Seth Tuttle hit six straight free throws in the game's final 22 seconds to seal the victory for the Panthers (6-3).
Tuttle finished with 18 points, going 12-for-14 from the foul line.
George Mason (6-4) got 20 points from Sherrod Wright, but was undone by some costly miscues and inconsistent play from point guards Bryon Allen and Corey Edwards. They combined for 21 points but also had eight turnovers between them.
George Mason trailed 80-77 before Allen committed a turnover with three seconds remaining in overtime. The Patriots' Johnny Williams was forced to immediately foul Tuttle, who hit his final two free throws to provide the final margin.

Since I've gotten my Keurig beverage maker, tea-making is super easy and a matter of mere moments away from enjoyment. Despite its reputation for brewing coffee, I primarily use it for making my tea.
I'm ever so happy every time I see some of my favorite tea companies come out with a new flavor of tea in K-cups.
Just in time for National Hot Tea Month – January – Red Rose Tea & Salada Tea have come out with some fun new flavors to ward off the Polar Vortex chill!
Salada ACTIVE BLEND Green Tea – Energy Boost (single serve cups)
This was a fun flavor to try. The green tea isn't overwhelming, and the blueberry flavor is present but subtle. It leaves a genuinely fruity, lightly sweet aftertaste and is just the thing to keep me awake while I sort through my income tax papers.
Salada ACTIVE BLEND Green Tea – Fiber Boost (single serve cups)
This is a lively blend flavored with lemon. The green tea is not overwhelming, is lightly sweetened, and in addition to hydrating me, the added fiber helps smooth things along, if you know what I mean 😉
Red Rose Simply Indulgent Cinnamon Bun (single serve cups)
This flavor really is indulgent! Lightly sweet, it's chock-full of cinnamon flavor, but not spicy or overwhelming. Who needs to over-pay for fancy-schmancy java-house beverages when this delicious, cost-effective option is so simple to make and so readily available?
(Sometimes I don't even brew this one as tea, but blend it with some milk and ice to make my own "teap-accino" 🙂 )
Red Rose Simply Indulgent Crème Caramel
I love caramel. I'd bathe in the stuff if I could (and if it wouldn't clog the drain so badly 🙂 ) So I was a happy camper indeed with this delicious flavor! It has a nice caramel flavor, but not cloying, with a lovely finish. This flavor is available with traditional tea bags (but my Keurig makes short work of hotting up the water, so I'm still sipping away in no time at all 🙂 )
(Another thing I really like about these two brands is that you can recycle the little plastic single-serve containers!)
So when that arctic chill gets to be too much for you, and you don't want to load on calories to treat yourself, try out any of the new Salada or Red Rose flavors in your cuppa.
Check your local supermarket to see which of the new flavors they have available, then kick back and enjoy! You can either buy these delicious blends online, or you can find a listing of store locations where you can purchase these teas at:
To help you celebrate National Hot Tea Month, Salada & Red Rose Tea have TEAmed up to generously offer a prize-pack of full-size boxes of the 4 teas mentioned in my review to one of my readers!* (ARV $30)
*Product may be substituted for other flavors.
***Red Rose Tea and Salada Tea provided me with sample product to facilitate this review, and also provided a similar sampling set as a giveaway prize for my readers. All opinions in this review are my own and were not influenced by compensation.

Collecting can be expensive and there are a lot of folks who are entry level collectors and modern quarters are interesting and don't break the bank. With that in mind why not provide folks with the opportunity to compete in many different ways in this realm. I'm not being clear--i need to get my coffee before I muddle my response any worse..
