A Delightful, Rainy Weekend
April 27, 2006
A Delightful, Rainy Weekend
The weekend of April 21st to 23rd started out magnificently. At the breakfast table, I read the lead article on page one of The New York Sun. It bore the title, "Fossella Sets Bill for U.S. Tax Credit on School Tuition"; and under that title was another in smaller type, which announced "Nary Ôa Nickel' Would Be Steered From Public Schools, He Insists."
The article explained that the United States Congressman from Staten Island, the Honorable Vito Fossella, is preparing to introduce a bill for an annual tax credit of $4,500 per family to defray the cost of private and parochial schooling. The congressman noted that non-public schools are closing throughout the state and across the nation as well and pointedly observed that a tax credit would in no way affect the funds that are made available to public schools.
The New York State Catholic Conference issued a statement immediately, thanking Congressman Fossella for his leadership and assuring him of the support of dioceses of the State of New York. Those who fear comparison and competition with public schools reacted negatively and no less immediately. It is interesting to note, however, that none of this second group made any mention of church-state problems on the federal level, probably because they know that the public has become aware of the facts in this regard and might feel insulted if a patently invalid complaint were issued. Rather, the second group suggested that the congressman's proposal would take money away from public schools, even though what he proposed is a tax credit that would have nothing to do with public school funding.
On the way to my office at the Catholic Center, two radio newscasters observed that Governor George Pataki was continuing to press for a $500 tax credit for parents of students in private and parochial schools, despite fierce opposition from those in the State of New York who fear comparison and competition among schools. Curiously, not a word was said about Congressman Fossella's proposal. Nor did any New York newspaper apart from The New York Sun mention it on Saturday, Sunday or even Monday-an interesting commentary on how news is shared in our community.
Whatever of this, the weekend continued to be a joy. Each day the rain fell from morning to night. Nonetheless, for me everything seemed bright and promising, partly because of the proposal of the congressman and the persistence of the governor, but also because of what was on my schedule for Saturday and Sunday.
On Saturday, I celebrated Mass at St. Ignatius Loyola parish church on Park Avenue at 84th Street in Manhattan. The occasion was the 450th anniversary of the death of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, and the 500th anniversary of the birth of St. Francis Xavier and Blessed Peter Faber, two of St. Ignatius' first companions. The Superior General of the Society had asked that such Masses be celebrated throughout the world. Pope Benedict XVI celebrated one in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, and I was delighted and honored to be invited to be the principal celebrant at St. Ignatius.
The Mass was most inspiring. His Eminence, Avery Cardinal Dulles, and a host of Jesuit priests joined me at the altar; and the church was filled with friends of the Jesuit community in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I took the occasion in my homily to tell the story of Reverend Anthony Kohlmann, S.J., the first vicar general of the Diocese of New York, who led the diocese during the first six years of its existence inasmuch as the bishop who had been assigned to the diocese was unable to travel to New York from Italy where he lived because of embargoes by the British and French.
What made the Mass particularly moving for me, however, was a ceremony inserted into the liturgy before the final prayer. Three young Jesuit priests knelt in the sanctuary of the church in front of the Provincial of the New York Province of the Society of Jesus, Reverend Gerald J. Chojnacki, S.J., to pronounce their final vows as members of the Society. The formula they used was essentially the formula St. Ignatius himself had devised. It was a statement of total self-giving to the Lord and his Church. No one who heard it could fail to be deeply touched.
The names of the three priests were Reverend Matthew Cassidy, S.J.; Reverend Thomas Benz, S.J.; and Reverend Thierry Meynard, S.J. Father Chojacki read the assignment of each aloud. Father Meynard's caught my attention in a very special way. He was going to Beijing in China to teach philosophy in a state university. Reflecting on the news that had come to my attention on Friday, I was at first amused and, then, saddened. Evidently, comparison and competition are not feared in educational circles in all parts of the world.
On Sunday I found myself celebrating the 9:30 a.m. Mass at St. Thomas Aquinas parish church on Crotona Parkway in the Bronx as part of a pastoral visit. The community the parish serves is almost totally Hispanic. Hence, I celebrated the Mass in Spanish and gave the homily first in Spanish and then in English. The church was packed, and the participation of the faithful was something I shall not soon forget. They knew all the responses to the prayers of the Mass by heart, and they sang their praises of the Lord with enthusiasm and true devotion.
Afterwards, I joined Reverend Jose Giunta, I.V.E., the pastor; Reverend Luis Calderon, I.V.E., the parochial vicar, and their parishioners for a reception in the school hall. I blessed dozens of men, women and children, tasted all sorts of cookies and cakes, and chatted with the principal of the parish school. Her name is Mrs. Teresa Sopot, and she presides over a sterling example of what an elementary school can be when in the hands of devoted professionals. She could take another 120 students, she told me, even though she is doing quite well with the 380 who are now enrolled. From recent reports I knew the condition of the public schools in the neighborhood but said nothing about them to the principal or anyone else. All the same, the encouraging news that I had received on Friday stirred in the back of my mind. Maybe another 120 youngsters here in the Bronx will be given the kind of education their parents want for them, I told myself. Maybe another 120 youngsters will be able to dream dreams and have them come true.
At two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, with the rain still falling, I processed up the aisle of St. Patrick's Cathedral for the annual Mass to celebrate the anniversaries of couples married at least 50 years. Every pew was filled, as were the aisles. Cameras were flashing, and on all sides faces were covered with smiles from ear to ear.
"This is the happiest Mass of the year," I told the congregation before beginning the liturgy. "It is a source of genuine joy to welcome these wonderful Ôyoung' couples to the cathedral. I congratulate them and thank them for the marvelous example of married life they have given us over the past half century and more. We
The sanctuary of the cathedral was bedecked with Easter flowers. The hymns we sang were familiar and beautiful. When we came to the renewal of the wedding vows, there were tears in many eyes. The rain was still falling outside. Inside everything was bright and glowing.
At the end of the Mass, I processed to the back of the cathedral and up the aisle on the left. Midway, a couple stopped me to introduce their grandson. In the fall he would be entering an archdiocesan high school that his father had attended, his grandfather informed me. "We're so happy," his grandmother announced. "We know you are working hard for our Catholic schools, Cardinal," she continued, "and we are with you all the way." The grandfather stepped forward. "Yes, all the way," he declared, while shaking my hand firmly and repeatedly. I thanked them and moved on to the sacristy. It had been a splendid weekend, a weekend of prayer, joy, promise and hope.

Are you dealing with a pair of embarrassingly flabby chesticles that invite ridicule from your buddies, coworkers, and girlfriend? Do you resemble Clyde the Orangutan from Every Which Way but Loose when your shirt's off? Well, not only should you stay clothed at all times—you've gotta shed those he-humps, pronto! You're prone to man-boobs if you used to be a pec-bursting gym rat who's hitched a ride on the tubby train. While you want to restart chest and shoulder exercises, you don't want to take lots of mirror-gazing time between sets, says Craig Ballantyne of turbulencetraining.com. "If you take little or no rest, you'll torch the fat," he says. Follow this workout twice a week and you'll be burning your bras in no time!
SUPERSET 1: Three sets of eight reps each
1a. Dumbbell Chest Press
Lie down on a bench with a dumbbell in each hand at the sides of your chest. Press the dumbbells up until your arms are fully extended over your chest, then slowly lower them back down. And as tempting as it may be, try not to ogle your jiggly figure in the mirror.
1b. Upright Dumbbell Row
Using light DBs—so you avoid injuring your shoulders—stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Pull the dumbbells up toward your collarbone, keeping your elbows pointed out to the sides, then slowly lower them back down. Pray that no one realizes you're doing the Maxim Man-Boob Workout.
SUPERSET 2: Three sets of eight reps each
2a. Chin-ups
Hang from a pull-up bar with your palms facing you. Pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar, focusing on using the muscles in your upper back, not your arms. Slowly lower yourself down to the start position. We doubt you'll be able to do 24 of these, but the rest of the gym will enjoy watching you try.
2b. Dumbbell Shoulder Press
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, holding a dumbbell at each shoulder with your palms facing for-ward. Press the dumbbells above your head until your arms are completely extended, then lower them back down to the starting position. Hey, you're getting pretty good at this!
SUPERSET 3: Three sets of 10 reps each
3a. Dumbbell Incline Chest Press
Lie back on an incline bench, holding a dumbbell on each side of your chest. Press the dumbbells straight up until your arms are completely extended, then lower to the starting position. And don't worry about adjusting your headband—it's your rack that's drawing stares.
3b. Seated Row
Sit on the platform and grab a wide-grip cable attachment with both hands. While keeping your back straight and your elbows pointed back, pull the attachment toward the center of your chest. Pause, then return to the starting position. Don't give up now—your flat-chested dreams are almost realized!
CARDIO CLOSE-OUT: Stationary Bike
Warm up for five minutes. Then do this: Sprint all-out for 30 seconds, followed by 90 seconds of easy pedaling. Repeat five times and finish with five minutes of slow pedaling. Congratulations: Those unsightly guy-gourds should be gone in no time!

Jeff Tweedy currently on the Fort Stage.
First shot in the @squarespace tintype studio at @newportfolkfest Andrew of @hozier all the way from Ireland, can't wait to catch their set on Sunday. #tintype #newportfolkfest (at Newport Folk Festival)
Phox is the artist of the weekend
Folk: It's that time of year again; the one week countdown is upon us. So here's our annual reminder of what we can all do to prepare and ensure it's one for the ages.
BE PREPARED FOR ALL WEATHER: Believe us it'll change drastically throughout the weekend. No matter what happens, remember it's an adventure
BE KIND: to each other, to the artists, to the staff, and mostly to the large number of volunteers who make the festival happen.
BE PRESENT: We're all coming to a speck of land in the sea to commune around music. Everything else is secondary.
NO EXPECTATIONS: We're all nervous & excited, but the only certainty is that what we expect will happen, probably won't. That's why it's fun.
SAFTEY IS SACROSANCT: We take this part VERY seriously. In case of weather/ emergency we may make hard decisions, but safety is paramount. ALWAYS.
LIVE MUSIC: Let's face it, it's what it's all about. It's our therapy, our inspiration, our coffee, our muse, our passion. And we are incredibly fortunate for the chance to share in it, together, for 3 full days.
We are counting the days, hours, minutes, seconds until we see you, our extended Folk Family, until then…

19 Truly Charming Places To See Before You Die.
6. With it's barely-touched architecture and stunning harbor, Newport is the quintessential New England town. Come for the pristine colonial homes and Gilded-Age mansions, stay for one of the many anticipated events, like July's Newport Folk Festival.
We approve of this message.
Rhode Island is often associated with the small stuff. Locals (proudly) call it the "biggest little state in the union"; I've even heard creative math that lil' Rhody is 3% bigger at low tide. But what Rhode Island lacks in square miles, it makes up for in talent and artistry. This year, we're proud to bring Death Vessel to the stages of Newport Folk. The layers of sound and the scales that Joel Thibodeau can cover is what first caught my attention. Knowing that he represents Rhode Island only makes his artistry more special.
There are 161 days until Death Vessel steps onto the stage at Newport. In that time, explore his music. His new album Island Intervals – produced by Jonsi of Sigur Rós will be released on February 25. That should give you ample time to get to know yet another reason why lil' Rhody is so great.

Organic Produce: Price vs. Ethics
Published on - June 2nd, 2006 (by J.D. Roth)
I was discussing Michael Pollan's new book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, with some friends over dinner the other night. It was a conversation filled with frugal themes — we had just been talking about our vegetable gardens.
"I wanted to borrow the book from the library," said Rhonda, "but there were 76 holds on eighteen copies. Mike and I bought a community copy instead. We shared the cost with some friends, and we'll all read it in turn."
My wife got her copy for free. "The last time I donated to public radio, they gave me the audio download as a thank-you gift."
All four of us know about the book, though none of us has actually read it yet. We're fascinated by what Pollan has to say about organic foods. The four of us agreed that the idea of organic food appeals to us, and that we're drawn to it for health reasons, as well as for personal values.
"But it's so much more expensive," Kris said. "I bought a bag of grapes last weekend at New Seasons without looking at the price. When I got home I was shocked to see that the bag cost more than ten dollars!"
"When does it become too expensive?" I asked. "When does the cost outweigh the benefits, outweigh our principles?"
"Isn't it interesting that some people don't have the option to follow their principles?" said Mike. "If you're poor, you can't afford to spend ten dollars on grapes. You can't afford to buy organic. You need to feed your family, and principles like nutrition and the environment take a back seat. Sometimes principles are a luxury for the wealthy."
It is difficult for me to grasp all of the implications involved in the complex web of food production: price vs. organic. vs. healthfulness vs. locally-produced vs. sustainable farming vs. economy of scale. I'm fortunate to live in Oregon's Willamette Valley, which is a richly productive region. During the summer I can buy cheap local produce from roadside stands, produce that tastes better than anything I can buy in a store. (And, of course, we grow many of our own favorites.)
The poor need to buy what is cheapest. The wealthy can buy whatever they please. But how do the rest of us balance sound financial choices with our personal principles? Is there a middle ground?
For more on this subject, check out the following articles:
- Grist Magazine: Assessing the trade-offs of organic food
- Sustainable Table: Measuring organic-ness and Choosing sustainable does not always mean choosing organic
- Cooking with Amy: Eating only local?
- Slate: The dark secrets of the organic-food movement
- Disease Proof: Is organic food safer?
I drew many of these links from Megnut, who recently discussed what's not wrong with eating organic.
(Note: Many of these questions are applicable not just to organic foods, but to other economic transactions as well. Many Christians face choices like this every day. So do vegetarians. I once had a history teacher who refused to eat bananas due to some obscure personal belief.)
I don't buy organic, I can see why some may, but I feel there are simply better things to spend money on than expensive organic products which don't even taste any better.
I have started eating organic some, when it's not ridiculously more expensive.
I was just reading about genetically altered foods some and found an article I feel makes some good points on the other side of the argument:
[...] I love reading the posts that catch my eye each week. This week there are a number that get me thinking that I really enjoyed like "Organic Price vs. Ethics" and "Whatever Happened to Manners?" . If you want to get your panties in a twist with someone who doesn't "get it" when it comes to marriage, you can read the ultra conservative "What is Marriage?" post. At least it is a thoughtful and decently written post, even if I don't agree with the author. [...]
Organic food is a scam. It is a marketing tool. I live on an apple orchard where we also grow a wide variety of vegetables. We use no pesticides or herbicides or fungicides on the veggies, only fertalizer. We use mainly extaordinairily safe fungicides on the apples. The "weekend farmers" at the local farmer's markets can charge twice as much for exactly the same stuff we have because they are certified organic. Pure foolishness.
Wake up people. There is no evidence that organic is better in any way. It uses more labor and more land. We had organic farming many years ago. Do the words "peasant", "slave", and "famine" ring any bells?
Gee, I wonder why all the PhD's at all the major agriculture programs at all the major universities in the country don't promote organic??? Oh wait, I know, because it's a bunch of BS.
[...] Discussion questions for Michael Pollan's recent The Omnivore's Dilemma. (Which I mentioned previously.) [...]

EL PASO-- The budgets of local and area school districts are getting cuts everywhere they can.
Every school district is looking to save money somewhere, and yet tens of thousands of dollars are disappearing every year.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - About half of Wisconsin's able-bodied childless adults would stop getting food stamps, under a proposal in the new state budget.
Republican Governor Scott Walker wants to make almost 63,000 adults spend at least 20 hours a week training or searching for new jobs, in order to keep their Food-Share benefits.
The non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau said about half of those affected would drop out of the food stamp program, including 14,000 in Milwaukee alone.
The rest would get tax-funded job training worth up to $100-dollars a month.
The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee is scheduled to take up the idea Tuesday.
The Fiscal Bureau says the total cost of the budget measure would be $36-million over the next two years.
The federal government would pay about that.
Walker says he wants to reform entitlements by making those getting government help try to find jobs.
Democrats say it would create jobs for bureaucrats and social workers – but not the Food-Share recipients themselves.

Packaging Your Business for Sale
The ultimate goal of most small-service business owners is to build up their business, sell it and retire on the proceeds. In many cases this is the only "retirement plan" small-business owners have in place.
This may sound like a very simple concept, but in order for it to be successful, the business must be structured and packaged correctly or there will be problems selling it for anything more than the sum of the value of the hard assets (equipment). This is especially true in owner/operator "Mom & Pop" businesses where much of the company's reputation, production quality and history are built around the direct involvement of the current owner/operator.
There are generally three primary areas that a prospective buyer will be interested in and willing to pay money for: hard assets, infrastructure and guaranteed continuing business. In order to get the most out of the sale of a business, these three aspects must be packaged correctly.
Hard Assets
The first piece of the package is pretty straightforward. The value of hard assets such as vehicles, equipment, buildings, inventory and the like can be calculated using various formulas that take into account depreciation, wear and tear, appreciation (in the case of real estate), re-sale values and more. With the help of a good accountant and a little research it is relatively easy to arrive at a value for this part of the package. Obviously, if all the equipment is old, well used, and approaching time for replacement and the buyer will soon need to purchase a lot of new equipment, it will make the purchase of your business less attractive. This is therefore a good argument for keeping your equipment well maintained and up to date.
The second part of the package is the infrastructure of the business itself. This includes the presence of a detailed business plan that includes projected sales goals with historical basis; organizational charts; company policy manuals; written job descriptions; written procedures for every function in the company; supply ordering procedures; forms and paperwork; necessary licenses and insurances; accounting and record keeping systems; scheduling systems; equipment maintenance plans and records; continuing education and training programs; appropriate memberships and subscriptions; and a comprehensive marketing plan. Along with a well-known name, a solid infrastructure is what people pay for when purchasing a franchise package.
By having written documentation of the complete infrastructure, you open up the pool of potential buyers to include those investors who do not possess any knowledge of your specific trade or service. Along with being a part of packaging the business for future sale, establishing a complete infrastructure will help your business operate as efficiently as possible right now. Don't wait until you are approaching retirement to create a detailed, documented infrastructure for your company.
Guaranteed Continuing Business
The third piece of the package can be less tangible, and is where many businesses fall down in their planning. In many business valuations this is referred to as "good will" or "blue sky." The reality is that unless properly documented and tracked, this part of the package has very little real value when establishing a selling price for the company. For example, 25 file cabinets full of carpet cleaning customer records have little or no value beyond that of a mailing list that can be purchased for marketing purposes. This is especially true if the satisfaction of those customers was dependent upon exceptional work performed by the owner/operator, who will no longer be with the company after the sale.
What the potential buyer is looking for is assurances that, barring an unforeseen catastrophe or gross mismanagement, the business will likely continue at or above its current volume after the sale. One of the ways of creating real value for on-going business is to demonstrate consistent repeat business that would be expected to continue after the sale. The best way to do this is through contracts for services, especially in the case of commercial cleaning.
Another way to establish the expectation of continued business is through special alliance agreements, such as preferred vendor agreements with insurance companies, government agencies and the like, or with referral agreements with retail outlets. In the case of a primarily residential service business where contracts are less common, records that show repeated services for customers, the typical repeat cycle and the average job size can be used to mathematically calculate a reasonable expectation of future business.
It is important, when possible, to demonstrate that repeat business is not dependent upon a specific individual personally providing the service. The number of years the business has been in operation also helps establish the expectation of continuation after the sale. Many times, to minimize the purchaser's concerns about business continuing beyond the sale, the seller agrees to remain in the capacity of consultant for a period of time. This helps insure a smooth transition and provides the new owner the opportunity to be properly introduced to major clients.
The dream of someday selling a business and retiring on the proceeds will only come true if the business is packaged for sale so that the selling price is an accurate reflection of the years of hard work that have gone into establishing it. Package the business based on assets, infrastructure and the prospect of continued business and good will, and you will get maximum value and return on your investment.

On Thursday morning, August 12, students in the Hartnell Center for Sustainable Design and Construction's inaugural class of the Clean Energy/Green Construction Training Program will present their building performance audits for area businesses in a culminating presentation and awards ceremony in the new CALL building on Hartnell's main campus in Salinas.
The awards ceremony will take place at noon, following a morning of building audit presentations.
The Clean Energy/Green Construction Training Program is an eight-month program consisting of more than 330 hours of classroom training and 300 hours of paid internships. The uniquely designed program is a public-private partnership jointly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the California Employee Development Department, the Monterey Workforce Investment Board, and the Hartnell Center for Sustainable Design & Construction.
Sixty students completed the program with courses in Green Construction Methods and Materials, Green Plumbing USA, Principles of PV/Solar, Greywater Installation, and Building Retrofit Analysis.
From June through August, teams of interns completed building performance assessments of 11 facilities in the Salinas Valley area, under the guidance of Moss Landing-based contractor BuildingWise. Nine of those reports will be presented on Thursday, with presentations beginning at 9, 10, and 11 a.m.
While some students are moving on to employment, slightly more than half of the class will be returning to the Hartnell campus this fall to attend classes, as well as participating as interns on several projects on campus and in the community while pursuing a certificate or degree in Sustainable Construction.
Speakers for the awards ceremony include the Director of the Center for Sustainable Construction, Mike Thomas. A buffet lunch will follow the awards ceremony. The students and program leaders will be available for interviews by the media.
For more information, please contact Mike Thomas at (831) 594-6203.
# # #
The CALL building is opposite the new library at the corner of Central Avenue and Homestead Avenue. The presentation will be in the training room on the second floor. Please contact Mike Thomas for questions and directions.

SPOKANE COUNTY--The Spokane County Sheriff's Office K9 was back on duty in May after a pit bull attacked him in April. K9 Laslo had to get six staples in his leg to heal the bite wound. Laslo's handler said the dog returned to duty in full force.
"Every time I give him a break he always runs to the patrol car and puts his nose to his door," said Laslo's handler, deputy Jeff Thurman.
Thurman said it seemed as if Laslo was never injured.
READ: Deputy's K9 recovers after Spokane Valley pit bull attack
"We've been back to work for a few weeks now and he's already got three captures since we've been back and he's just busy and a great dog," said Thurman.
Laslo was attacked by a pit bull while chasing after a suspect. His staples were removed in May and all that was left of his injury was a scar.
"You get used to having a partner there and it was great having him back," said Thurman.
Thurman said Laslo takes his job seriously. Thurman was looking forward to new additions to K9 unit. The Sheriff's Office added two new handlers and their dogs to the team.

Please note: the Rosette award for this establishment has been suspended due to a change of chef. Reassessment will take place in due course under the new chef. Red-brick Lainston House, a charming and cosseting country-house hotel, dates from the 17th century when it was a hunting lodge, and stands in 63 acres of parkland; the ruins of a 12th-century chapel are a short stroll away. It's a stunningly beautiful building in a lovely rural setting, though only a few miles from historic Winchester. A dining area has been added to the kitchen garden, with a wood-fired oven for summer barbecues, and alfresco eating on the terrace is on the cards in warm weather. When the weather isn't being kind, the Avenue Restaurant offers an equally pleasant environment in which to dine. It takes its name from the mile-long stretch of limes glimpsed through its windows, and diners are in safe hands from a kitchen with a solid foundation of culinary skills based on years of experience, with local produce - including many fruits and vegetables from the garden and meat from the resident pigs - forming the bedrock of its output. Venison carpaccio with lemon curd, a crisp quail's egg and truffled mayonnaise, and seared scallops with salted curry sauce, cauliflower pur�e, bacon crisps and apple are the sort of well-executed bright ideas among starters. Main course might bring on pink slices of lamb saddle on a bed of artichoke along with braised shoulder, minted apple jelly, black garlic and spiced wine gravy, with a fish option among the handful of choices of perhaps accurately timed halibut fillet fashionably partnered by oxtail, served with parsnips, pickled walnut and pearl barley. British cheeses are an alternative to such innovative puddings as rich salted chocolate and peanut millefeuille with creamy burned butter ice cream, or pears poached in orange blossom. The excellent breads are all baked in-house, and the extensive wine list is well worth a moment of your time.

User Reviews
The community thinks...
Great car for the money by Brian K on 03/17/2012. Trim: 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Excellent gas mileage, low engine noise, superb handling, Very comfortable even for me at 6'3". Plenty of room.
Cons: Bluetooth could be better and really would be nice to have power seats on passengers side also.
Overall review: I researched a lot of vehicles prior to purchasing this one. I went with the subaru simply because I have previously owned them and well they last forever. I don't feel hybrids are the way to go especially if you are on the road a lot like I am. This car offered more room, better MPG, and overall more useful features then most of its competition for the price. So far I am getting around 26MPG combined. Have been very comfortable in the vehicle when driving. I usually get leg cramps very easy. Has not happened yet. Vehicle handles great on the highway. It does tend to go a little faster then you think. Smooth shifts and excellent acceleration. I have the bluetooth feature and that is the only feature I have a complaint with. The handsfree is very nice to have. But you can not use the phone book feature unless you have a blackberry. In other words your phones contact list will not snych up to the bluetooth. You can add them manually, but it is time consuming beyond belief.

FAYETTEVILLE, NC (WECT) – A third Republican has filed paperwork to run in the race to claim the District 7 House seat held by Rep. Mike McIntyre.
Chris Andrade of Fayetteville filed a "Statement of Candidacy" with the Federal Elections Commission to be a candidate in the race. The 56-year old first-time candidate is a retired Veteran, serving four years in the Marines and 26 years in the U.S. Army, stationed twice at Fort Bragg.
Andrade calls himself a different kind of Republican. "I believe the Republican Party is on the wrong track," Andrade said in a phone interview. "We are missing solutions. We don't work the problem, we work the political agenda. I believe in the Constitution, and the more we walk away from the Constitution, the more problems we will have."
Andrade admits that he is getting into the race later than the other candidates. Andrade says his campaign website "Chris Andrade for Congress" is scheduled to be up and running in the next few weeks.
Former state senators David Rouzer and Woody White have already declared their intentions to seek the Republican nomination. Rouzer lost to McIntyre in the 2012 General Election by less than 700 votes in the closest Congressional race in the country. White is the current Chairman of the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners.
Another New Hanover County Commissioner, Jonathan Barfield, is the only Democrat to declare intentions to run in the District 7 race. McIntyre announced earlier this month he would not be running for a tenth term in the House.

Isaac Stern, Alexander Schneider, Milton Katims, Paul Tortelier, Pablo Casals
Schubert String Quintet, second movement
The Schubert String Quintet is the whole reason I wanted to become a musician. After studying the cello for about two years, I was allowed to play through the piece with my father and some of his colleagues in 1980 – it was one of the most wonderful experiences I've ever had. Afterwards, my father gave me an LP of Casals and Tortelier playing it, and I've been in awe of them ever since.
Vladimir Horowitz, NBC Symphony Orchestra/Arturo Toscanini
Brahms Piano Concerto no.2, second movement
Until the age of 16, I was actually a better pianist than cellist, and Vladimir Horowitz was one of my heroes. I also loved Brahms's music, and the cello solo in the slow movement of the Second Piano Concerto is based on one of his songs, which my mother used to sing when I was child, with me accompanying her.
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra/Karl Böhm
Mahler Kindertotenlieder
When I was 17 or 18, I was alone in the house and received a phone call saying that my little brother had been hit by a car. My mother saw the whole thing. He survived, but it was a terrible experience. Two weeks later, she had to sing Mahler's Kindertotenlieder in a concert, and she completely fell apart. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is not only a wonderful singer but also a fantastic actor, but I can't listen to his performance too often, otherwise I get very distressed.
Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Christa Ludwig, Philharmonia Orchestra/Herbert von Karajan
Strauss Der Rosenkavalier
I used to sing the ending of Der Rosenkavalier with my mother when I was about 12 or 13, accompanying us both on the piano – I knew it by heart. I can't sing at all any more – well, I do sing, but my wife tells me to stop immediately.
Esperanza Spalding
Radio Song
My wife introduced me to Esperanza Spalding's music, and we listen to her a lot. Spalding is a complete musician – she sings and plays, improvises and composes. I often feel like classical musicians can learn a lot from jazz – we're really just little recreators.

Of course I'll update it. Just waiting for the jailbreak, then I'll update it.
hah 90% of that went over my head, but I'm glad we're taking steps to make AT&T faster (since they rarely do).
I wonder how 4.2.1 impacts battery life?
Why is Nokia testing iOS 4.2.1? I know they're a member of 3GPP and have contributed to NCFD and are using with their own devices network stacks but why test another manufactures software? Just seems a little odd to me I guess! We should all be praying that AT&T is using NCFD-enabled cell base stations... I just moved(only about 3 miles away from where I was) and I used to get anywhere from 3-4Mbps down/ 1-2Mbps up and now I'm LUCKY to get 1Mbps down, normally I get half of that or less at this point even with 3 bars of reception. I've never ever had a problem with AT&T's network in Connecticut, or else where for that matter, but I frequently tether my connection and I must say that the results have been less than disappointing... So I guess all I can do is pray that AT&T will implement or has implemented NCFD and that an untethered JB will soon be available for the iPhone 4!
I really have no interest in any Apple news unless it concerns the iPhone 4 unlock lol
If the networks faster than hell yea
if it makes it faster then yea, go right ahead and do it...as long as its jailbreakable(what am i saying its always jailbreakable)
Just returned IPhone 4 with 4.21 Att network can not handle this new software. 8 dropped calls in 2 days after loading the new software. Downloaders beware Apple store found phone with 4.1 loaded on it. They said they had 145 complaints about dropped calls in 2 days
coolio, but holding out for an untethered JB
Battery life and network signal still bad so i dont now how this people test there equipment.
Well i have ios 4.2.1 and it really helps gain better battery life it is like 40% more time to play on the iphone
I suppose its really futile of me to hope that this network stack update would be any help for WiFi users.
As near as I can tell, when the WiFi radio is idle long enough, it powers down and refuses any incoming data.
Might be that it stops listening for data as soon as its received (as with the old 3G behavior),
but what I've seen is that- for at least a few seconds after packets get sent via WiFi its actively listening for replies, and sometime after that dies.
Its not a problem (or much of one) for people using their iP* as a network client,
but when trying to connect to a locally hosted service (like sshd, or VNC, or anything else) it gets annoying, really quick.
I'm not sure if there's a metastate between "active" and "sleep" for the WiFi radio, where it can conserve power but still see incoming packets. :/

The Diocesan Choir
The Cathedral Choirs
The Cathedral Choir history can be traced back 150 years through rich detailed accounts, including royal baptisms, coronations, and rich Cathedral liturgy. Composed of eight paid Choral Scholars and 16 volunteer singers, the choir provides a strong, living tradition of choral music, central to the Cathedral's liturgy, and is dedicated to the highest standards of performance of choral literature from Gregorian Chant and Renaissance polyphony, through works by contemporary composers. The choir sings weekly at the 10:30 am Sunday Eucharist, on the first Sunday of the month at 5:30 pm for Evensong, and for many other feasts and concerts throughout the year. The Hawaiian Choir sings at the 8 am Holy Eucharist every Sunday. They support the congregation in the singing of Hawaiian hymns and service music as well as offering an anthem in Hawaiian. The choirs come together to sing for major feasts throughout the year.
Evensongs and Sacred Concerts
As in all the great cathedrals of the world, Evensong or a Sacred Concert is offered every Sunday. Evensong is the crowning jewel in a cathedral's busy Sunday. The Cathedral Choir sings on the first Sunday of every month. Other Sundays feature the Priory School Chamber Choir or Colla Voce, a women's ensemble at UH founded by one of the Cathedral's Choral Scholars. On Sundays when there is no choir, Evensong is sung by the congregation to simple chants.
Fridays at Saint Andrew's Noontime Concerts
Noontime Concerts at Saint Andrew's features guest artists and the Cathedral's own musicians in performances of chamber and choral music, and recitals, on the acclaimed Aeolian-Skinner organ – Hawai`i's largest pipe organ! Concerts begin at 12.15 pm; all are welcome to bring lunch and dine in the pews to the sounds of beautiful music in a beautiful space, and to come and go as time permits. The concert is free with donations welcome, and free parking is available on the Cathedral's front lawn, weather permitting.

In a brick row house in Brooklyn, a builder applies advanced coatings and membranes in a quest to meet the stringent Passive House standard for air-tightness.
Cold snaps and power failures have triggered a moment of truth for advanced energy-efficient homes in the Northeast. JLC talked with some homeowners to find out the facts.
In my quest to build ever tighter houses I've decided that my goal is for every house I build to get as close to 1ACH50 as possible. To reach that goal, I've decided to take a page from the PassiveHouse playbook and tape my exterior sheathing seams.
Chris Corson is working on another Passive House — this time, with a more ample budget, and a more complex design.
Belfast's Ecovillage isn't your typical development — it's an "intentional community" patterned after the cohousing projects of northern Europe.
The new builder has lofty growth ambitions, made possible by its panelized construction process.
Coastal Connection followed along as Belfast, Maine, builder Chris Corson built his first custom home designed to the strict Passive House standard for new construction.
As the market for parking lot design grows relentlessly higher, architects search for attractive, multipurpose solutions.
Sealing the air barrier and eliminating thermal conduction minimizes heating loads.
This airtight, superinsulated home was built using familiar methods and materials.

Most Expensive Song In Bollywood! Dhoom:3 Malang costs Rs 5 crore
Dhoom:3 will have the most expensive song in Bollywood! The filmmakers have approximately spent a whopping Rs 5 crore for the song titled Malang, which stars Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif.
The song was shot at Reliance Studios on a set, which took almost two months to be created! Not only the dancers, but also the costumes for the Malang song were imported from USA. Well, with so much of importing, ain't it obvious that the song's budget shot up to almost Rs 5 crore?

LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 8: Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman with her husband Griffith Harsh (R) waves to supporters at her primary night party at the Universal Hilton Hotel June 8, 2010 in Los Angeles, California. Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay, won the Republican gubernatorial primary with a wide lead over her nearest competitor Steve Poizner. (Photo by Michal Czerwonka/Getty Images)
Does Meg Whitman, one of the richest people in the world, really need charity?
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Whitman's charitable foundation spent the bulk of its funds to protect land adjacent to the family's sprawling compound in Colorado.
Whitman's Telluride condo and ranch sound like a lovely place to kick back and relax, thanks in part to over a $1 million that her charity spent on preserving the area. The donation was part of a $50 million campaign to keep out new condo development.
The Whitman estate is estimated at around $5 million for the condo, $18 million for the ranch, and $16 million for property around a mountain lake. And the family will continue to enjoy the view, now that they've successfully kept out any encroaching developers.
In contrast, Whitman and her billionaire husband gave just $5,000 to her Presbytarian church here in California. Whitman has often cited her religion as her motivation for fighting against civil rights.
The family also donated $30 million to Princeton, but they've got a horse in that race as well. Whitman's son Will currently attends the school. Recently, Will caused a bit of a kerfuffle when he stormed into the middle of a Princeton softball game and claimed that the field belonged to him.
