Some of my favorite cemeteries (other than where my own people are buried, of course) are the eerie, yet somehow romantic, above-ground crypts in New Orleans, the old, urban graveyards that now house many of our country's founders and patriots in Boston and the small, hidden-away burial grounds along narrow paths in the English and Welsh countryside.
My favorite local cemetery, however, is the 226-acre Mountain View Cemetery nestled in lower hills of Oakland, California. It's just up the hill from me, and I can walk to it from my apartment. It is truly one of the most splendid cemeteries I've ever visited, and it has its own unique history that is just as fascinating as the histories of some of its illustrious inhabitants.
Mountain View Cemetery was established in 1863 and designed by famous landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed Manhattan's Central Park, both UC Berkeley and Stanford Universities and the Midway Plaisance at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, among many other notable parks and projects around the United States.

The cemetery is a feast for the eyes when it comes to grandiose crypts and headstones that pay tribute to some of California's important historical figures, including Domingo Ghirardelli (of the famous Ghirardelli Chocolate Company), J.A. Folger (founder of Folgers Coffee), noted California architect Julia Morgan and several former California governors, senators and other notable politicians.
However, Mountain View is also the burial place of nearly 200,000 regular souls who now rest among the beautiful scenery and dozens of winding pathways that attract walkers, bicyclists and picnickers along with those who come to pay tribute to their loved ones. I love meandering along the paths that curve along the gentle hills of this park-like cemetery. According to the cemetery website, "Mountain View is distinguished from other cemeteries by its architect's vision of man and nature and their relationship to each other." And, it's true. It's one of those rare places where you know that you're in the middle of an urban geography, however you're free to shrug off the stress and confines of the city and bask in the nature -- and, on a sunny day, the incredible views -- that Mountain View offers.

I'm still learning more about John Milton Eddy and his family who were early pioneers in California. I want to know what drew him to California? How did he die? What kind of man was this distant cousin of mine? Are there any portraits of them??? As I discover more tidbits about John and his family, I'll be sure to report them here. Meanwhile, I now have a reason, other than the brisk exercise and stunning views, to walk around Mountain View Cemetery: I have family to visit!

NBA: Pistons' Andre Drummond focused on teamwork before NBA debut tonight
AUBURN HILLS -- Pistons rookie Andre Drummond will be 19 years old when the Pistons open the regular season tonight against the Houston Rockets, but he speaks like a player wise beyond his years.
Drummond, a Middletown native, speaks of team goals. He talks about being a great teammate and working hard. Drummond doesn't complain about things like minutes, he's just ready to contributed in any way he can.
"When I'm on the floor I play my hardest every single possession," Drummond said. "No matter how long I play, two minutes, four minutes, 30 minutes -- it doesn't really matter. I'm going to give my all every play."
The No. 9 overall pick averaged nine points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in eight preseason games.
LOCAL BOY: Remember when Andre stopped by the Middletown YMCA before the draft? Relive some lasting images from Press photographer Catherine Avalone
Drummond led the team in blocks, was fourth in scoring and second in rebounds despite being ninth in minutes at 16.5 per game.
"As far as minutes, I've got no issues about minutes," Drummond said. "I'm excited to be here. I'm excited about playing. I'm excited about winning games as well. It's not all about me, it's about the team.
Drummond doesn't have any individual goals for the season. He has just one goal and it's quite simple: "Win a lot of games," Drummond said. "That's it. Win a lot of games."
Drummond's first NBA training camp was a learning experience, but he is walking away from it confident he made strides in his game.
"I think I got better as a player and as a person," Drummond said. "Definitely a better teammate as well. Just being around a lot of these guys that have done numerous training camps already. I'm real excited to be here and be a part of this organization."
Drummond got an early jump on training camp by spending the summer at the Pistons practice facility working on his game along with a bunch of his teammates.
"We've been here throughout the summer so we were already prepared before training camp started," Drummond said. "Training camp got a lot lighter for us because we already had been working hard in the summer. I'm really excited we had a very successful training camp and I'm looking forward to the season."
The time during the summer also allowed Drummond time to get to know some of his teammates. Drummond has developed relationships with several teammates, but speaks most fondly of his bond with veteran Corey Maggette.
"Corey just knows everything about me," Drummond said. "For some reason, I don't know how he did it, but he figured me out. He can tell when I'm not focused. He can tell when I'm not really engaged.
"He'll come up and be like, 'Alright, get it going.' Today in practice, I had a slow start and he pulled me over, he told me to get out of the scrimmage. He said, 'Alright, you're not running hard enough. You got to run the floor more.' I got back out there and just played harder. He knows my game. He's been here for a while so he can read rookies. He's probably the biggest guy I've been around."
Drummond grew up in Middletown before attending Capital Prep in Hartford and St. Thomas More in Oakville. He played one season at the University of Connecticut, then entered the NBA Draft.
Quick hits
-- Maggette remains day to day with a calf strain. Maggette missed the Pistons' final four preseason games.
-- The NBA's schedule-makers didn't do the Pistons any favors early on.
Detroit opens the season with a home game against Houston then hits the road for a 10-day road trip that includes stops in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver, Sacramento, Oklahoma City and Houston.
"It's the NBA," Drummond said when asked about the schedule. "We got 82 games ahead of us. I'm real excited and I think we're prepared to play these games. We are going to make a big run this year."

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, about 15-20 mins. Meanwhile, coarsely mash the sardines in a bowl (there's no need to remove the calcium-rich bones as they are soft enough to eat). Mix in 3 tbsp chopped parsley and half the lemon zest and juice. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise and yogurt with the remaining parsley, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning.
Drain the potatoes, then mash until smooth. Gently mix into the sardine mixture and season. Shape into 8 fat fish cakes using floured hands, then dust lightly with the seasoned flour.
Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry half the fish cakes for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Keep warm; repeat with remaining oil and fish cakes. Serve with the lemony mayonnaise, salad and lemon wedges.
Recipe Tip
Superhealthy sardinesCanned fish is often seen as the poor relative of fresh, but canned sardines are high in nutrients. The canning process makes the bones easier to eat and digest, increasing the calcium content of your meal. Choose fish in spring water or in a healthier oil such as olive, rather than in salty brine, as fish already has a high sodium content.

So, is the question will there ever be a BB 12, or will BB12 be in the winter? I'm certain there will be a BB12, or else I'll boycott tv (Well, CBS anyways). Winter season? I doubt it. I, personally, enjoyed it, but it does seem a bit like overkill.That's ok for me, though.....I'm looking ahead to Survivor!
OK, I'm iffy on BB12, but I SURE hope no winter BB12. How's that?

...and aren't you glad it doesn't involve getting to the East Coast! By now, you've packed--or at least considered what to pack. Are you taking physical business cards? Some library folks have given those up for virtual ones, but if you fumble over keyboards as much as I do, you can appreciate being able to type in the relevant info from physical cards you collect when nobody's watching the fingers fumble.
You've made your list of must see's and must meet's--the latter being the networking part and the former being the specific programs you feel the most magnetic attraction pulling on you. This year has a particularly well honed field representing best practices and innovative ideas for academic and public libraries, from Eureka! folks and old timers, and about LSTA funded efforts that have touched library communities working with ZIP Books, a Staff Innovation Fun(d), and much more. This is a schedule that has been tightened up but includes a whole lot of valuable programming to explore.
And then there are the exhibitors, the folks who make a conference of this caliber possible while still keeping registration pricing modest. This year, as you've probably heard, the Eureka! folks have conceived and will be staffing the Infopeople booth. First person to tweet the theme that set up shows (after the exhibit hall opens to conference attendees!) gets a prize. Be sure to use the conference Twitter hashtag (#cla2012, as it stands now).
So start humming and get ready for a busy, fulfilling weekend!

The Sandpit from Sam O'Hare on Vimeo.
This is a stunning piece of film, shot by Sam O'Hare in NYC, in miniature and using a shallow depth of field. Worth noting right at the outset that the tilt-shift effect was faked in post (but the overall effect is far from lessened because of this).
For best results hit HD and watch in full screen. And turn it up.
There's a really great interview with O'Hare here, on the Aero Film site. Here's a sample, in which O'Hare talks about the equipment he used in putting this together. It involved over 35,000 stills.
The music is perfectly matched. It was specially written by Rosi Golan and Alex Wong, and composed by Human.
If you watch carefully there are some priceless moments, usually involving tiny characters doing things that look other-worldly when viewed in this way (I particularly like the scene in which someone sneaks out on their roof – this is shot in the height of the hottest part of the summer of 09 – to have a quick cigarette). One of the slightly odder things about the film is that despite seeing hundreds of people across the five minute piece, we don't see a single face. This adds to the surreal, almost fake quality of the film.
Thanks to @finnbarrw for the heads-up.

We're on a break.
The Minty Fresh Blanket and I are on a break. It's nothing to worry about. We're still in love. We just need some time apart.
To fill the gap in my heart, I have begun a torrid affair with something new:
I'd like to introduce you to the At First Blush Blanket. The counting on Minty Fresh was making me nutty, so I decided a simple feather and fan pattern was just what I needed.
I've been cruising the Internet for blanket patterns lately and have a huge pet peeve.
Why do folks use tiny pictures of the finished blanket or only a tiny snippet of the entire blanket on their pattern page? In order to use a pattern, I want to see what the entire blanket looks like and I want to see what the stitch pattern looks like. A horrible picture is not going to do it for me.

David Wright has a stress fracture in his lower back. It's the new Mets, same as the old Mess! I find it hard to believe this is still The Curse of the Shirtless Bernazard, but who else is evil eyeing them? George Foster? (BTW, If George Foster ever evil eyed you for longer than 5 seconds, you'd turn to stone. Fact!) The Mets are downplaying Wright's injury, but what else is new with the Mets? Let's look at their truthiness in some recent reports: In 2009, "Reyes will be out for a few days." In reality, he's only fully recovered two years later. In 2009, "Beltran will be out for three to five days." In reality, he missed two seasons. "K-Rod and his stepfather, an up and coming videographer, were remaking the "Beat It" video." In reality, K-Rod blew Kabuki white powder into his stepfather's face and hit him over the head with a metal chair. So the Mets are saying Wright might miss only a week and a half to two weeks. Um, okay. Even if he returns quickly, a stress fracture in his lower back isn't going to hurt his power? Yeah, that's rhetorical. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Jose Reyes – 2-for-5, 2 steals. Now has 16 steals on the year. How do you motivate overpaid athletes? With the allure of being vastly overpaid.
Mike Pelfrey – 7 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 1 Ks. That's nice, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him and I throw like a girl. My apologies to our three girl readers, I'm sure you are all bulldykes with strong arms.
Hanley Ramirez – Moved to the two hole, which is where you find crap, and he went 0-for-6. Voila!
Josh Johnson – 5 IP, 1 ER, 9 baserunners, 3 Ks. Left the game with a forearm contusion. No word yet on how long he'll be out, but once someone reads it somewhere else they will update us in the comments.
Justin Turner – Overdrive! 2-for-5 with a double and a RBI. Know why I mentioned the double when I don't usually? Cause I'm trying to find nice things to say. Go with it.
Cliff Lee – 6 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 12 baserunners (6 BBs), 4 Ks. Six walks for The Adverb? Did he throw that many all of last year? Hopeful Lee, it's just a mechanics thing-a-ma-whosie.
Chase Utley – Could be back within the next two weeks. So this is either a great time to sell or hold. I don't think I'd buy unless I really needed to shake things up on my team and I could get him for cheap. If your entire league is tentative because of Utley's recent health track record is rivaling that of the "It's merely a flesh wound" guy, then you hold. If someone wants to take the risk for a decent price, you sell. Deal? Yeah, deal.
Dustin Ackley – Guess what ya'll we're gonna talk about the Mariners! Snooze. But we're talking about the top Mariners prospect! Yawn. But it's Dustin Ackley and he hit 5 homers and stole 2 bases in Triple-A last year over 237 plate appearances! Burp. So far this year, he's been better with power and speed — 5 homers and 6 steals through 38 games. His average has been yawnstipating at best. Speaking of yawnstipating, Ackley's projected for the kind of numbers I don't like in fantasy. He's potentially a 12/12 guy this year if called up within the next two weeks, as it's being reported he will be. Assuming he has 2nd base eligibility (which he does not yet have in Yahoo for some godforsaken reason), he's a MILF (Middle Infielder I'd take a Flyer on).
Michael Pineda – 7 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners, 7 Ks with his 5th win and a 2.45 ERA on the year. He's great, I like him a lot, so don't take this the wrong way, but the Twins' hitting is offensive in all the wrong ways.
Colby Rasmus – Strained muscle in his stomach. He's saying he'll be fine. You know, Colby's a survivor.
Albert Pujols – 0-for-4 as he started at third base. Tony La Russa said, "I feel bad about what I've been doing to people's fantasy teams with my indecision regarding a closer, so I thought I'd throw the nerds a bone."
John Lackey – Sent to the DL. The Red Sox said his elbow strain might have something to do with his 8.01 ERA. So, does that mean he's been hurt for the last two years?
A.J. Burnett – 5 2/3 IP, 6 ER, 9 baserunners, 3 Ks. Hey, 2010 A.J. Burnett good to see you. Say hello to your mother for me.
David Price – 5 IP, 5 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks. Was a tough matchup against Curtis Granderson, who hit his 14th homer. Who are you, Curtis Granderson? Why are you trying to steal Jose Bautista's thunder? He is Joey Bats. Who are you, Courtesy Gratin? What's that, free cheesy tater tots? That doesn't even make any sense, and neither does your insane power. Now go to your room.
Johnny Damon – Hit his 7th homer. Has 6 more homers than Morneau. Of course he does, the world makes perfect sense!
Derrek Lee – Strained oblique. That's sad for Lee and his family. No one else should care.
Max Scherzer – 7 IP, 0 ER, 9 baserunners, 2 Ks. I blame his lack of run support on his searching-for-Golem sounding name. Chabon would've gave him the win.
Andy Dirks – 1-for-2. Member when I said I was half-joking about Leyland batting Dirks 3rd? Yeah, he batted him 2nd instead. Theory! With the rise of cigarette prices, Leyland has been forced to use his extra lineup cards for tobacco rolling paper. So he only has one lineup card and he just puts players in the same lineup spot as the player they are replacing.
Jhonny Peralta – 1-for-4 with his 6th home run. The Silent H has 4 homers in his last 5 games. He too is hotter than a habanero's ass. Still don't know what that means but if I say it enough times it'll catch on.
Aroldis Chapman – To the Disgraceful List. It's always amazing to me how clubs can get away with DL'ing someone who isn't injured but is simply sucking. And, perhaps, that's neither funny or interesting.
Jonny Gomes – Hit a home run and that usually means five more will follow. Though, to be honest, I didn't realize how poorly he's been. He's down to .188 on the year. Yo, Gomes, you need an oddly-placed H in your first name.
Shaun Marcum – 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 4 Ks. You're welcome.
Paul Maholm – 6 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks vs. the Nats. Sorta glass half full: Sure, it was an easy match-up, but he's now pitched well in six of his last 8 starts. Sorta glass half empty: His strikeouts to walks isn't pretty. Sorta who cares: It's Paul Maholm.
Danny Espinosa – 1-for-3 with his 5th homer. All he does is hit home runs! Kinda true with his abysmal average (.196 on the year).
Cole Kimball – 1 IP, o ER with the win. That Cole Kimball sure plays a mean baseball!
Colby Lewis – 9 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks. Really pulled his shizz together in May. April ERA 5.70; May ERA 2.35. Also, worth noting is his batting average against lefties is .273; vs. righties it's .224.
Vin Mazzaro – 2 1/3 IP, 14 ER. He comes from my birthplace, Hackensack, NJ. Yesterday, the Indians treated him like a hacky sack.
Matt LaPorta – 4-for-4, 4 RBIs as the Indians moved to 25-13 on the year. Somebody wake up the Comatose Indians Fan, your team is more than just a racist mascot!
Dexter Fowler – Caught stealing twice. Now has 5 caught stealings in 7 attempts. Good thing he didn't choose a life of crime.
Jacoby Ellsbury – Hit in the leadoff spot, 2-for-5, batting .302 and stole his 13th base. Member in the preseason everyone was like don't draft Ellsbury, Crawford's gonna steal his mojo? Um, Crawford's hitting .208 and batting between Lowrie and Varitek.
Mark Reynolds – Hit his 2nd homer in three games as Mini Donkey finally draws some brays.
Kyle Drabek – 7 IP, 1 ER, 9 baserunners (6 BBs), 2 Ks. Too many BBs, he's gonna shoot his eye out doing that.
Adam Lind – Placed on the 15-day DL with back soreness. Just so we're clear how ridiculous it is what the Mets said about Wright possibly being back in 10 days. Lind has back soreness and is going on the DL; Wright has a stress fracture in his lower back. Oh-kay.
Frank Francisco – 1 IP, 1 ER and the save. He doesn't seem remotely capable of handling the closing job, yet I think he probably does stay the closer all year, if that makes sense, and I think it does but I've had nine beers tonight and something a guy named Phil called a lavash.
Tommy Hanson – 7 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 10 Ks. First name, Hommy. Second name, Tanson.
Grady Sizemore – To the DL. I wonder if he has one of those punch cards so he gets a free sandwich with this DL trip.

It's a dark day in Springfield. Margaret Groening, the inspiration behind The Simpsons' Marge Simpson has passed away, The Oregonian reports. She was 94.
Groening, a former high school English teacher and the mother of series creator Matt Groening, died April 22 in her sleep. Groening hasn't commented publicly about her passing.
Remember other celebrities we lost this year
Groening's maiden name was Wiggum — a nomenclature that belonged to The Simpsons' beloved police commissioner Clancy Wiggum and his thick-headed son Ralph Wiggum.
Groening's family — including his father, Homer, and his sisters, Lisa and Maggie — was a clear influence for the show. Groening's father, Homer, passed away in 1996. Another sister, Patty — who inspired the name of the character Aunt Patty — died this past January.

Previous reservations no longer honored as Bilderberg hotel vacated in alarm over mounting protests.
May 30, 2012
RELATED: Alex Jones Banned From Bilderberg Hotel, Calls For Press Mob
Hours after the Westfields Marriott called Alex Jones to cancel his reservation and inform him that he would not be allowed to stay in the hotel two days prior to the Bilderberg conference starting on May 31, Infowars confirmed that ALL guests had been kicked out of the hotel and/or refused for booked stays, instead offering one night's accommodation at the Residence Inn in Chantilly (also Marriott owned).
Infowars crew member Aaron Dykes, who booked separately, was also refused after attempting to check into his room at the Westfields Marriott, but was told the location was "overbooked" at the front desk (despite the fact that the hotel was notably vacant, as was the parking lot). This link shows the voucher letter issued by management: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/318253_4216715... Unlike, Alex Jones, no courtesy call was offered to Aaron Dykes, or presumably other guests, who instead faced an unexpected disruption to their travel plans.
The only residents at Westfields allowed to stay for the night of May 29 belonged to a conference unrelated to Bilderberg ending the same day. Staff members seemed on edge, and offered different explanations for the unavailability of the hotel– some claiming it was overbooked, while others claimed 'reconstruction' was underway. Both explanations were phony, as Bilderberg obviously panicked at mounting protests and cleared all remaining guests from the rosters.
This was a marked contrast to four years ago during the Bilderberg conference of 2008 at the same hotel, during which ordinary guests were allowed to stay until the morning that the conference began (including Alex Jones & crew). This time around was quite different indeed.

Flu to 8K
A brand-new take on Couch to 5K……
My flu-like symptoms continued Tuesday…..Wednesday…..Thursday…..
I actually ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill Thursday morning and thought I was going to die. Or puke (I didn't….until after I ate breakfast). Or pass out. Bad idea. But good idea. Because when I did the 2 miles this morning I felt much better.
Why bother? Because I'm running an 8K Saturday afternoon. The Shamrock Run in Buffalo. In 38 degree weather that's supposed to feel like 19 because the winds are going to be between 40-60 miles per hour. Lovely. Good thing I got a free winter hat for signing up! I'll be wearing that I'm sure.
So it'll be more like Bed to 8K. Because after spending most of the week in bed I'm still going to try and run this darn thing. Wish me Luck! I don't have any luck of the Irish in my blood, so I'll need all of the good wishes I can get!
Oh and P.S. – of course the kids were up and about like they had never thrown up (even though I can still smell it in the rug)……but yesterday my dear Father called and said he had come down with it so my Brother in Law is at my house today watching Thing 1 and Thing 2. And Tim came home from work early last night….laid on the couch all evening, and threw up before coming to bed (but felt better after that – better enough to venture to work today). What a lovely little stomach bug this was! I guess it makes up for not being sick all winter.

This Gram-stained photomicrograph depicts numbers of Bordetella pertussis bacteria, the etiologic pathogen for pertussis.
Outbreaks of pertussis are again hitting multiple parts of the country, with Montana(www.dphhs.mt.gov), Washington and Wisconsin(www.dhs.wisconsin.gov) all reporting significant increases in the number of cases of whooping cough.
As of May 19, for example, the Washington State Department of Health had reported(www.doh.wa.gov) a total of 1,738 cases throughout the state. By the same date in 2011, Washington had reported only 148 cases. The current figures put the state on track to have the highest number of reported cases in decades.
In April, Washington Secretary of Health Mary Selecky stated that pertussis had reached epidemic levels in the state, and she called for all eligible children and adults to be vaccinated against the disease. Specifically, she said that children ages 7-10 years who are not fully vaccinated should complete the diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine series, and those age 11 or older should receive a tetanus and diphtheria toxoids and acellular pertussis (Tdap) booster.
AAFP Signs On To Letter Denouncing Vaccine 'Myths,' 'Untruths'
The AAFP, in conjunction with the American Academy of Pediatrics, the AMA and other stakeholder organizations, recently sent a sharply worded letter of protest(www.aapa.org) to the group president of Discovery Communications' two leading networks: Discovery Channel and TLC (formerly, The Learning Channel). In the letter, the organizations denounce an article titled "5 Things to Consider When Deciding to Vaccinate Your Child" that was published on the website of the Discovery Communications' wholly owned subsidiary, "How Stuff Works(www.howstuffworks.com)."
The article raised a number of inaccurate concerns, such as claiming that people can "catch" the disease a vaccine is meant to prevent from the vaccine itself. The article's author also resurrected the long-debunked issue of a potential link between vaccines and autism and supported the idea of parents delaying their child's immunizations.
"Parents need accurate, complete information about immunizations -- which they often look for online," the letter said. "So we were astounded when we found an article on a Discovery Company website that perpetuates dangerous myths and untruths about vaccines. We cannot understand how a company that celebrates the latest in scientific achievements would feature an article so inaccurate and wholly biased against science."
The article was taken down soon after the letter was received.
Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire also got into the act, announcing on May 3(usatoday30.usatoday.com) that the state had received CDC approval to use federal funds designated for other immunizations to buy more than 27,000 doses of pertussis vaccine for uninsured and underinsured adults. In addition, she announced that the state would use $210,000 in existing health department funds, plus another $90,000 in emergency funds, "to strengthen public awareness efforts about the need for vaccination."
According to Michele Roberts, health promotion and communications section manager for the Washington State Department of Health Immunization and Child Profile Office, the state has one of the highest percentages of parents in the nation who choose to opt out of having their children immunized. In 2011, she said, roughly 6 percent of kindergartners in the state missed one of the required immunizations because a parent chose not to vaccinate.
Long an outspoken advocate of immunization, the AAFP partnered with the CDC and American Academy of Pediatrics in 2010 to offer Provider Resources for Vaccine Conversations with Parents(www.cdc.gov) and, more recently, first-person parental accounts(www.cdc.gov) that detail the toll pertussis can take on infants. All are intended to help physicians reassure parents who have concerns about their child's vaccines.
In addition, the AAFP has adopted provisional recommendations for the use of Tdap vaccine that are consistent with those developed by the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and that are intended to stop the spread of disease to young patients who cannot yet receive the vaccine. Among those provisional recommendations are the following:
- adults ages 19 and older who have not received a dose of Tdap vaccine should receive a single dose of the vaccine;
- Tdap vaccine should be administered regardless of the interval since administration of the last tetanus or diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine; and
- adults should receive a Tdap dose if the dose is recommended and no record of previous administration exists.
The ACIP's provisional recommendations(www.cdc.gov) also account for the fact that two Tdap products are available in the U.S. market. They are GlaxoSmithKline's Boostrix, which is approved for use in people ages 10 years and older, and Sanofi Pasteur's Adacel, which is approved for use in patients, ages 11-64. Specifically, the recommendations state that
- vaccine providers should not miss an opportunity to vaccinate eligible patients ages 65 and older and may administer whatever vaccine they have available; and
- when feasible, Boostrix should be used for adults ages 65 and older, although either vaccine product administered to a person in this age group provides protection and is considered valid.

When the '10 Camaro hit the market earlier this year, one of the more interesting options was the new 6L80E auto transmission. Featuring six forward gears, the new transmission helped the Camaro earn top marks for fuel economy and drivability, but for the performance enthusiast has a few shortcomings that limit its potential, including the maniacal and sometimes frustrating torque management system that protects the transmission from abuse.
With enthusiasts already looking at retrofitting the 6L80E into their classic Bow Ties, the transmission gurus at TCI decided there was a better way to put a six speed automatic in a classic Chevy. After looking at everything in the automatic stable, the decision was made to take the existing TCI 4L80E transmission and turn it into the new 6x six-speed automatic. Since the 4L80E uses some of the same robust parts that the rock-solid Turbo 400 transmission employs, it was already up to the high horsepower applications TCI had in mind for the new six-speed automatic. An added bonus of using the 4L80 case is that it would fit in almost any transmission tunnel with no tunnel modifications necessary, so retrofitting one into an older Chevy would be no problem.
The 6x uses a 2.97 first gear, 2.23 second, 1.57 third, 1.18 fourth, 1.00 fifth, and .75 overdrive/sixth gear ratios, compared to the 6L80E's 4.02/2.36/1.53/1.15/.85/.66 gear ratio spread. The 6x also uses strengthened and improved internal gear sets, increased friction material, and other improvements that allow it to take high horsepower loads of over 850 hp. And because the 6x is fully electronic, it can use TCI's electronic steering wheel mounted paddle shift system for full manual shifting capability. In a test drive of a vehicle with a 6x, we were impressed by its smooth but firm shifting. The 6x can be electronically adjusted to personal shifting preferences.
To test out the TCI 6x on the street, I went for a spin in TCI's test mule, a 502 big-block-powered G-body Regal. Driving normally, the 6x shifted smoothly through all six gears, firmly but with no clunks or hard shifts normally associated with a performance transmission. Dropping the hammer, the 6x quickly upshifted, again smooth but firm without a neck snapping abruptness. Thanks to TCI's transmission control unit, shift firmness, shift points, and other factors can be fully programmed to the driver's own desire. The optional TCI paddle shifter worked great when driving the car in "manual" mode, with no hesitation or lag when manually upshifting or downshifting the 6x. Going back and forth between manual and full auto mode on the 6x was also easy.

William, I work at a Toyota store and would like to know what you mean by 'botched" I am learning and would love to be taught, what I should avoid doing, that your mystery shops did. People do buy cars this way and I dont want to miss an opportunity. I will tell you though Im not an idiot so dont paint with a broad brush , be specific and give details. I am very interested in what you have to say.
This is an excellent video from Toyota's Social Media Knowledge Center that graphically illustrates what more and more customers are doing as they come into market for a new or used vehicle...
To William Phillips - You are certainly correct about botched customer interactions ruining all the efforts that brought the consumer to the point of communicating directly with the dealership... However, I will, and strongly disagree with you on painting all Toyota dealers with the same broad brush of incompetence. What I see, and I see a lot, is a continuum of range in the skills and capabilities of the people who interact with consumers, as well as the systems and processes used to facilitate, monitor and manage those interactions. Yes, there are many incompetent people being assigned to interact with customers... Plenty that certainly need a lot of training... But, I find there are plenty of people who do it well, some could be improved with training... And, just as many people who are very good at communicating with customers that would certainly benefit from tools and apps to enable them to be more productive and efficient. Anytime you allude to "All Toyota Dealers are..." or "Everyone working in a Toyota dealership is incompetent..." it is patently a false statement because there are over 1,400 dealership locations with over a quarter of a million people working in them... The range and variance of their skill sets, along with length of experience is huge... Some are good at what they do, and plenty are not.
However, if you are in the business of selling training services, which I myself have been in for quite awhile, it can be tempting to say that EVERY employee is incompetent until they receive more training... Easy enough to say, but simply NOT TRUE.
Everybody benefits from training... All of us do. But, not everyone needs training because they are totally incompetent, some of us benefit from training like a saw benefits from being sharpened.
Great Video Ralph!
This is exactly how people shop for cars. Whether we earn their business or not is up to us.
Great video, right to the point, lt's of info in 3 minutes!
One small problem that was completely left out. My mystery shops prove that at least 8 out of 10 Toyota stores would botch the contact activity completely, even with a picture of Hot Natalie on the incoming email. Social media efforts, lying CRM companies with their snake oil, and of course all the "my websites rock SEO" companies wont fix a botched interaction, or a lack of any interaction with the prospect. This video acts like they just go on face book, chat, read reviews and march down to the store. ANYONE that works in a store knows that isn't so. The manufactures again dont get it, but think they do. If they really want to help dealers, invest in training them to manage the connections and processes that cause the break down. Put the shinny objects down Toyota, and maybe your dealers will quit playing with them too, and focus on the real issues. CUSTOMERS HATE THE WAY WE INTERACT WITH THEM BEFORE THEY EVER GET TO THE STORE. Nothing fixes that but process corrections. Rebuild the motor thats broke before you buy better fuel to fix the problem.
This is a great clip from the fine folks at Toyota Motor Sales in Torrance and makes a great point about automotive social media marketing becoming an integral skill set associated with being an effective car dealer...

GOSHEN — Gotta get more room for the cupcakes.
GOSHEN — Gotta get more room for the cupcakes.
That sentiment inspired Sweet Fillings Cafe, a bakery and juice bar whose doors opened Thursday at West Main and North Church streets.
Proprietor Sarah Harrington has also owned Howell's Cafe, opposite the new shop, for nine years. The bakery end of the business, including cupcakes, began consuming more time and space, she said, prompting the move across the street.
Goshen Gourmet and Cafe, which had occupied that space, moved farther up West Main Street.
Harrington and business partner Jennifer Brody exude confidence, despite setbacks such as the closure of the county Government Center nearly two years ago.
"It's confidence in our product," Harrington said, "and confidence in Jen and my ability. Jen and I enjoy people. When you come in here, we'll get to know your first name."
Not that she sports starry eyes.
"I know about it personally, because I've operated a business through this dilemma," she said of the loss of foot traffic in the village. That's led lunch business to decline as much as 25 percent for some establishments. Another West Main street eatery reinvented itself three times before its most recent closure.
Besides the closure of the Government Center in September 2011, the village has been buffeted by the departure of several major employers.
"It's the Government Center, it's the hospital (Arden Hill), it's Healey Brothers, it's Mediacom," Harrington said. "We've lost all four, and that's difficult to absorb."
There was no doom and gloom on Friday morning, though, as she and Brody readied their luncheon dishes.
Harrington and daughter, Kiersten, 20, a junior at SUNY Albany, got there at 5 a.m. to bake breakfast items and get the coffee brewing. The cakes, including ones for weddings, birthdays and other special occasions, are made in-house by Ashley Torres of Cake Beautiful.
A luncheon menu of soups, salads, wraps, chili, smoothies and fresh-fruit cocktails was listed on a wall board with brightly colored markers.
Harrington, 42, grew up in the Lake Champlain Islands of Vermont.
"I grew up as a farmer's daughter, and I knew that farming wasn't my calling," she recalled with a laugh. "It's really hard work, not that running a restaurant isn't!"
She started working in restaurants at 15. She cooked, waitressed, managed and oversaw catering operations. She's proud to say that she's the fifth owner in Howell's' 53-year history, and doesn't expect she'll be running across the street often to the mother ship.
"My staff has been with me for a long time," she said of the Howell's workers, "so I feel comfortable pursuing another business venture."
Harrington already sees Goshen as a destination for visitors to the Historic Track, the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame, the Heritage Trail and the farmers market.
"The key for us is to be fresh, and bring new things to the table," she said. "That's what will make this a destination stop."

The club industry in the spotlight.
* Orchard Hills Athletic Club, Lancaster, Mass., is expanding its fitness, cardio, parking and children's areas. The cost of the improvements will exceed $2.2 million. The club has also budgeted $300,000 for new equipment. The expansion should be complete by the summer.
* In March, Inlet Fitness - a 15,000-square-foot club - will open for business in Long Bay Pointe Marina in Virginia Beach, Va. The facility will feature a private women-only gym, a main gym, group fitness programs, an entertainment system and kayak classes.
* Australian Body Works continues to fuel its expansion in the metropolitan Atlanta area with plans to open five new coed health clubs in Duluth, Lawrenceville, West Cobb, Roswell West and Alpharetta, Ga. Upon completion, Australian Body Works will have 27 fitness facilities in the local market.
* The Topeka City Council (Kansas) has approved a new building for the city's YMCA. According to the Y, the new facility will allow the organization to serve more Topekans. However, local commercial fitness centers have come forward to oppose the building, arguing that it creates unfair competition. At press time, the YMCA was moving ahead with the expansion.
* Harborside Athletic Club (Portsmouth, N.H.) now offers the Harborside Rock Gym. The new gym features 3,000 square feet of realistic rock interface, supported by steel framing. The rock wall reaches a uniform height of 42 feet, overlooking the scenic Portsmouth Harbor.

Moldova is Europe's poorest country. The modest economic growth of recent years has largely bypassed rural areas. Poverty and lack of prospects are driving the young and educated in particular to migrate to the capital or abroad. Those remaining behind are older people living in somewhat precarious circumstances. Because the State is unable to provide them with medical care, HEKS/EPER is supporting the expansion of the home care service run by its partner organization CASMED. And in an attempt to stem the rural-urban drift, HEKS/EPER is helping farmers to improve the quality and marketing of their products. Rural communities are also being encouraged to take local development into their own hands.
The «CASMED» home care service provided medical attention for 3150 elderly and sick people in 2019. With the help of HEKS/EPER, 600 producers of grapes, berries and milk were able to improve their market access.

For a third survey in a row, Sarah Palin tops the Hot Air charts, garnering 34% of the readership's vote. Palin leads a pack consisting of Chris Christie (who for a third survey came in second) at 14%, Herman Cain at 9%, Tim Pawlenty at 7%, and Mitt Romney. Notably, Romney has finished fifth in every survey, and in every survey regardless of sample size, has received 6% of the vote.
Here's the chart of all the Primary votes so far, starting from the first one we did in November, by percentage of the vote.
For Vice President, Rep. Allen West leads the pack at 22%, followed by Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Herman Cain, and Michele Bachmann. West's positioning is strongly correlated to Sarah Palin-related votes as her most favored running mate; as Palin voters go up, so too do VP West votes. The VP chart over time:
Top second choice for President? Chris Christie.
Top vote loser? For a second survey, Sarah Palin.
Nearly 700 people indicated that they did not comment at Hot Air, but "would like to!" For those that have provided email addresses, I'll try to give you the heads up if I have forewarning as to when registration opens. Regardless, I've passed along your interest to the guys upstairs.
Two quick, final points.
It's important to start winnowing down the candidate pool we've got presently. Chris Christie and Paul Ryan will be removed from the topline survey question next month if they don't indicate a reasonable interest to run; there's no sense in keeping candidates in the first-choice President question who've said they absolutely won't do it. Gotta move on, as disappointing as it might be. DeMint may also go.
Once the pool is winnowed, the next step is working out when and how candidates will exit the field. Like I indicated when I was predicting House outcomes, predicting nationwide outcomes can be a lot trickier if we just gloss over local circumstances. With the surveys we've been doing at Hot Air, we're gathering lots of valuable knowledge as to these local circumstances; I'm looking forward to matching those circumstances up with the primary calendar, once it crystallizes.
I'll toss out the first few months of last cycle's calendar, per About.com, for your perusal as a rough sketch of what next year's calendar might look like. I look forward to your thoughts in the comments, and at my Twitter.

Grave of the Fireflies is an anime masterpiece, one of the greatest anti-war movies ever made, and a chilling look at two children trying to survive amidst the 1945 bombing of Kobe during World War II. It is also, as you might imagine, incredibly fucking depressing. It has also just been optioned in England as an upcoming live-action movie. Fun!
U.K. production company Dresden Pictures has the rights to produce a live-action version of the acclaimed Ghibli movie in 2014, which would lead one to suspect that the new movie will be set in London, during the German's constant bombardment of the city, instead of Japan. I have no idea if the new version will keep the original's incredible bleakness - the 1988 anime actually starts with the two children dying of starvation and then proceeds to show viewers how they ended up there - but I still wouldn't recommend buying popcorn if you go see it, just in case.

Fourth ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, meat product of unidentifiable origin, undisclosed preservative
This is a german product, and although the English translation of the ingredient listing is provided on the manufacturer website, it does not conform to standard English terminology. Our review thus assumes 'flour' in this listing to equate to 'meal'.
The first ingredient, poultry meal, is a meat meal product but is not one named by species. This is a concern as it makes it impossible to identify the source, quality or consistency of the ingredient. Ingredients of unidentifiable source are usually very low quality, cheap ingredients and are not found in higher quality products. Venison meal is the fourth ingredient (we are unsure of what 'paunch' refers to), whilst venison bone meal is 6th. Despite being named by species, we have some doubt about the quality of this ingredient. A further meat ingredient is fish meal, 10th on the ingredient list. This is too far down to make any substantial contribution to the overall meat content of the food. We are unable to locate any guarantee by the manufacturer that this ingredient is free of ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients destined for pet foods and which is banned from use in human foods because it is believed to be carcinogenic.
The main grains in the food are corn and rice. We assume 'whole-grain-cornflour' in this ingredient listing to mean corn meal, rather than cornflour. In either case, corn is a difficult to digest grain that is of limited value in dog food, and commonly associated with food allergies. Fermented rice may refer to brewers rice (which is a low quality rice byproduct), but as this claims to be a whole grain we assume this to be a decent quality grain. Rice and corn (maize) germ are grain fragments, but still containing decent nutrition. Topinambur is a root vegetable, more commonly known as jerusalem artichoke. This and turnip meal provide additional carbohydrates. The fat content of the food is a range of vegetable oils, not all of which are identified by source. The food also contains a range of fruits, and has added vitamins though these are not identified.
Overall, the product does not appear to have a high meat content, even if it may be higher than some others in this category, and the primary meat product is not identified by species. Remaining ingredients are of mixed quality. No information is given about preservatives, which may include chemicals such as Ethoxyquin, BHA or BHT all of which are allowed in dog food products but are banned or heavily regulated in human food production due to the belief that they are carcinogenic.
