PLAYERS: Sergei Gonchar

TEAMS: Ottawa Senators
I try to monitor what time in a player's career he becomes a clear Hall of Famer. At what point is he a Hall of Fame player regardless of what happens in the rest of his career? I think Sergei Gonchar has passed that point. Gonchar has been one of the better defencemen in the league for well over a decade. He has never been the best defenceman in the league but he was good enough to make the NHL Second Team All Star twice. Had he been stronger defensively he probably would have been a Norris Trophy winner at some point. His defensive play has improved over his career but it was a weakness fifteen years ago. His career numbers have reached the point that they are clear Hall of Fame numbers and this is remarkable given the fact that he played in a relatively low scoring era with the loss of 1.5 seasons due to lockouts (and possibly the 1994 lockout as that shortened his rookie season). In a different higher scoring era, a player of Gonchar's ability would have even mo...

For Bill on Disabled Access to Online Teaching Materials, the Devil's in the Details – Wired Campus - Blogs - The Chronicle of Higher Education
From chronicle
As smart classrooms become the norm on more campuses and online courses proliferate, some observers worry that the digital revolution will leave students with disabilities behind. But a bill under consideration in the U.S. Congress, the Technology, Equality, and Accessibility in College and Higher Education Act (HR 3505), would deal with that concern by creating accessibility guidelines for electronic materials used or assigned by college professors and administrators.
While the bill, known as the Teach Act, has bipartisan support in Congress, several higher-education organizations have raised concerns about what they consider the legislation's broad language, inflexibility, and misplaced oversight. For example, the American Council on Education objects to the bill in part because it grants authority to create guidelines to the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board, which the council says lacks higher-education expertise.

This article presents a qualitative study conducted at a Historically Hispanic Serving Institution (HHSI) to further the understanding of its internationalization decision-making process. The study uses the Internationalization Cube model to review the institution's internal processes and policies toward internationalization and assess how its international activities align with its internationalization efforts. The Internationalization Cube, an eight-cell model, permits the positioning of Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) based on the analysis of its three dimensions and respective subcategories: policy, support, and implementation. The International Dimension Index (IDI) and the Item Relevancy Index (IRI) were also used to determine the level of alignment between the HHSI position on the Internationalization Cube and its international activities. The study finds that the HHSI is on Position 6 on the Internationalization Cube (priority policy, one-sided support, and systematic/structure implementation), and exhibits all the international activities considered indicators of internationalization but attention is needed to foreign language, international students, study abroad, faculty movement and involvement in international projects. The study concludes that an association exists between the institution's position on the Internationalization Cube and its international activities, and adjustments in the institution's policy, support, and implementation dimensions will be required to advance its position on the Internationalization Cube making its internationalization process more sustainable. This study makes a contribution to addressing the need to assess an IHE by presenting a holistic organizational framework instead of a fragmented international activities organizational analysis.

"It is not about the technology but about the higher order thinking skills ..." Kathy Schrock has been supporting educators with pedagogically-sound practices
More than 7.1 million students are currently taking at least one online course. Despite the apparent popularity, however, educators have given the trend low marks.
The federal government's long-awaited data on the students enrolled in distance education courses nationwide provide a dubious baseline, a new study suggests, as confusing instructions, inflexible design and a lack of coordination have led colleges and universities to under- or overreport thousands of students.
The study, conducted by the WICHE Cooperative for Educational Technologies and the higher education consultantPhil Hill, raises serious questions about the integrity of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, or IPEDS, the higher education data collection program operated by the Education Department's National Center for Education Statistics.
Flipping an EFL classroom makes a lot of sense since it allows the teacher to focus on helping students develop their communication skills.

Media and information literacy: policy and strategy guidelines | United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
This comprehensive MIL Policy and Strategy Guidelines resource is the first of its kind to treat MIL as a composite concept, unifying information literacy and media literacy as well as considering the right to freedom of expression and access to information through ICTs. These guidelines offer a harmonized approach, which in turn enables all actors to articulate more sustained national MIL policies and strategies, describing both the process and content to be considered.
In the evolving knowledge societies of today, some people are overloaded with information, others are starved for information. Everywhere, people are yearning to freely express themselves, to actively participate in governance processes and cultural exchanges. Media and information literacy (MIL) provides all citizens with critical competencies to survive in the 21st Century.
The lesson seems irresistible: technology yields rich possibilities, but also unforeseen complications.
MOOCs have become one of the United States' major educational exports. In the first year of MOOCs offered by Harvard and MIT through the online education site edX, two-thirds of the enrollees hailed from outside North America.
Now, some online education advocates argue that MOOCs can lure international students to colleges and universities in the U.S. The University of Pennsylvania has developed a MOOC precisely for this purpose: a course titled "Applying to U.S. Universities." And the State Department has woven online courses into its international education agenda, with the hope that MOOC-driven outreach programs will entice foreign students to study in the U.S.

I am currently trying to integrate Seroquel into my medication cocktail for the second time, ( for the insomnia and agitation aspects of BP II ) - but it seems to have both pros and cons, as per any medication.
I feel it would be useful if I was only required to take about 100mg at night, but I am being recommended by my G.P. and Consultant that it works better if split AM/PM - and at higher doses. If I do this I sleep almost round the clock !
If I do take even 25mg in the mornings, I cannot engage in theraputic activities like weightlifting, due to muscle weakness, or music - because I keep falling asleep again !
Therefore my questions are :
1) Anybody else take it just at night and still feel some benefit(s) ?
2) Did the overall tiredness eventually wear off after several weeks for you ?
3) What dose do you take ?
4) Do you feel it has had any anti-depressant benefits ?
5) Have any of you actually got more anxious on higher doses of this stuff ?
Thanks for considering these questions : - )

DIY Project Idea to Try: Make a Brass Swing Light
Hello Lidy
We've shown you how to make lamps before, but this project caught my eye and I'm in love with it. This brass swing arm light, from Hello Lidy, is so polished, modern, and pretty — I want two for each side of my bed.
Lidy and her husband share the parts lists and instructions for making this light over at Hello Lidy, so head there if you're interested in building a similar brass lamp yourself. The only trouble spot I see is the need to bend the tube, but if you already own the right tool, or can borrow one, you're ahead of the game. Otherwise, the parts add up to about $50 (plus shipping if needed), which makes for a pretty affordable lamp.
Many thanks to Lidy for sharing this great tutorial with us!

When I saw this come up on her blog a couple weeks ago I almost died. I've been drooling over similar lamps that were out of my budget for quite a while. This is high on my list of projects.
Bonus is her source list website ships to Canada so any of us Canadians wont have an issue building it! Thanks again Hello Lidy!
This is a very nice diy. For anyone not having the time to do it yourself, onefortythree has many awesome brass lamps, some similar to this and I think at a very good price (I have no connection to them, just loved them for a long time and think it's nice to support a small business as theirs).
This is great! I've been needing a swing arm lamp with a 3' arm for a few years but the only ones I can find are over $1000.
While I know lots.of places to geet wood stuff, I'm usually at a loss for lamp parts. Thanks to this DIY, I now have a source.
*this* is the kind of AT post I like to see
Major drool. Love this lamp.
Brass is one of my favorite mediums for lighting.
This has to be one of my most favorite lamps of all.

David's Updated Vintage Store Find
Apartment Therapy reader David was kind enough to send in an update related to a recent reader question he sent in:
A couple of week ago I wrote in asking for some advice on stripping and re-doing a chair I had found at a vintage store for $25. After some good Apartment Therapy community tips and some additional research I embarked on my little job and can happily report that while I made several mistakes I had a lot more fun than I thought I would and I'm eager to find the next item that requires a little love and attention.
Check out the slideshow above for all the details included in the captions detailing David's chair rehab project.

You give hope to all the sad little chairs out there that need a bit of TLC. Great job!
great job! care to share where you got the amazing media cabinet? i love it!
Looks good! I'm actually surprised that it turned out so nicely. The original picture didn't look so great to me, but you proved that it was worth restoring, and it looks perfect in your beautiful home! :) When do we get the house tour?
Nice job! Nice wall!
You should be proud of your hard work, it really paid off! Fabulous job restoring this chair!
It's very satisfying, isn't it? I did the same with a maple dresser pulled off the curb in sad shape. The chair looks so nice-- great job!
Thanks so much to everyone for the compliments on it. It was a lot more fun that I thought my first time and look forward to doing again. The media cabinet is n English Walnut cabinet made by Mash Studios (http://www.mashstudios.com/) which is based in LA and NYC. If you're in LA they're on Venice in Mar Vista and worth visiting. Their website is good but not great and it's better to see in person. Their media cabinet is simple, clean and has wire management built in (without plastic plugs) and fits with so many things.
P.S. I should mention the media cabinet is actually two pushed together. Each piece is only half as long as in the picture.
Looks great. Did you only use a stain or did you also use a lacquer to finish? It looks really shiny and nice. I'm glad you went back and fixed the putty...it would have bugged you every time you looked at it.
Hi Hannamades, I used a stain all in one Polyurethene which gave it that nice sheen. I was going to go stain and wax, but took a running leap of faith on it. I'm glad I made the putty mistake because I really learned my lesson the hard way - that way I'll never forget!
Great job, you should be proud! :)

Dimension Data South Africa and Internet Solutions (IS) today announced the launch of Enterprise Wi-Fi, a fully managed solution that integrates a secure, enterprise WLAN deployment with the advantages of the AlwaysOn Hotspot service.
"The need to cater for smartphone and tablet usage constitutes a significant, unplanned requirement for most enterprise LANs," explains Brett Steingo, Innovation and Technology Manager for Connectivity at IS. "Employees and clients expect to be able to connect via multiple devices on business premises or while on the move. As a result, wireless office environments have become pervasive through necessity."
This growing demand poses a number of challenges. "Most importantly, allowing visitors to access the corporate WLAN, or giving employees unrestricted access over the corporate network, creates multiple and serious security risks," says Dimension Data SA's GM for Network Integration and Converged Communications, Michael Abendanon. "When companies block certain online content, users often work around these restrictions, which open unsecured back doors into the network. Corporations also need to recognise end-user computing trends, such as the consumerisation of IT and bring your own device (BYOD). Organisations need to start implementing solutions that enable these trends, without compromising the secure environment."
To find a suitable solution, IS and Dimension Data invested in researching and developing Enterprise Wi-Fi. "With Dimension Data's experience, expertise and capabilities in corporate WLAN infrastructure, and the skill and understanding IS has gained through provisioning AlwaysOn Hotspots in the hospitality and retail sectors, we created a comprehensive solution that solves these challenges," says Abendanon.
The result is a fully integrated solution that provides an efficient, versatile and secure wireless business environment, which supports a fully connected, mobile workforce. "Enterprise Wi-Fi is currently the only offering that provides employees with secure, seamless connectivity on multiple devices at the office, and WiFi access at any of the 1 200 IS AlwaysOn Hotspots around South Africa, all through a single profile. It also gives our customers the ability to manage users on a single interface," says Steingo.
In addition, through AlwaysOn's partnership with iPass, clients are granted access to the iPass international WiFi network, comprising over a million hotspots in 110 countries. This ensures business travellers have quality, affordable Internet access, without having to rely on costly 3G.
Secure access to the LAN is enabled through encrypted authentication to the organisation's directory service, which allows employees to access the same online resources they would have at their desks.
Enterprise Wi-Fi also makes catering to visitor connectivity requirements, as well as additional and 'unwanted' traffic on the corporate WLAN, easier and more secure by moving non-work-related traffic to public infrastructure. "By providing different layers of connectivity, a company's guests don't access the private network, which ensures greater security. The areas and amount of access that guests can connect with can also be customised and easily managed."
As Enterprise Wi-Fi is a managed service, the burden of monitoring and managing this wireless access no longer falls to the internal IT department. "This helps to reduce operating costs, while also maintaining a secure WLAN environment with guaranteed levels of performance," explains Abendanon.
"Enterprise Wi-Fi accounts have a fixed monthly cost per employee, which makes budgeting easier and mitigates unexpected usage bills," he concludes. For more information, visit www.is.co.za or www.dimensiondata.com.

Internet Solutions (IS) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dimension Data. The company is southern Africa's most established and experienced Internet service provider. Since 1993, IS has been providing innovative, end-to-end connectivity solutions and related services across the African continent.

Delivering the future of business analytics, Pentaho Corporation today announced that Shareable Ink®, an enterprise cloud computing provider that transforms paper documentation to structured data, has incorporated Pentaho Business Analytics to help create an innovative big data analytics platform for healthcare. Shareable Ink Analytics extracts clinical and operational data that originates from natural input tools such as iPads and digital pens, and visualizes it into dashboards and drill-down analyses and reports.
|This press release has been written by a vendor and published as a news item on this website. It does not necessarily reflect the results of our 100% vendor independent research.
Shareable Ink enables healthcare organizations to distill valuable clinical data that has never-before been digitized and to incorporate analysis into daily operations and workflows.A common use case for Shareable Ink Analytics is the need to instantlyreview, report, and manage real-time performance, compliance, and efficiency metrics, such as SCIP (Surgical Care Improvement Project) measures, anesthesia turnover times, and on-time case starts. Instead of customizing data management and analytics for every hospital or healthcare organization, Shareable Ink lowers IT infrastructure costs by creating a common data store, analytics and reporting platform for all its end customers – regardless of the type, shape, and format of data they use.
"We wanted to spend time creating an innovative platform that was distinctly valuable to our audience and not spend time re-inventing in-house big data analytics functionality," said Gerry Andrady, vice president of product management, Shareable Ink. "Pentaho Business Analytics provides a cloud-based analytical platform to extract, prepare and analyze loosely structured data, helping Shareable Ink to provide visualizations and sharing of this free-form healthcare information to a large population of healthcare users such as doctors, nurses, and administrative staff."
"By pairing Shareable Ink with Pentaho BI, information can automatically be recorded, accessed, analyzed and visualized in reports and dashboards in as little as five minutes," said Richard Daley, founder and chief strategy officer, Pentaho. "Built for the future of analytics, Pentaho's easily embeddable platform allows companies such as Shareable Ink to cost-effectively deploy a big data solution that is efficient, fast and scalable."

Obregón, who trains under the tutelage of Roberto Quesada and Mario Santamaría at Miami Fight gym, emphatically stated last Saturday that Im ready for anything, while castigating the punching bag with a straight right hand. The 29-year-old Nicaraguan, who lost to Sergio García last August 24 via majority decision, is willing to show to the public what he learned from that defeat. I just want to get into the ring and fight, Im ready, Im ready.
David can punch hard and were working on his speed right now. Hes a little bit slower than Joel, but hes in great condition right now, said co-trainer Mario Santamaría while supervising the intense sparring session that the Nicaragua-born had with boxing sensation Joel Julio on Saturday, April 5, at 12:00 PM.

Security firm Qualys launches free service that crawls Web pages and notifies Web site owners when malware is found.
Hackers infiltrated the US government's healthcare portal, but did not steal any data uploaded by customers.
The tech giant confirms that its mobile, desktop, and Web services haven't fallen prey to the vulnerability that has sent thousands of Web sites and services scrambling.
The social network finds a new way to annoy the world: force users to download a second app for private messages. CNET's Bridget Carey explains the latest Facebook headache. Also: how you can check if a site is safe from the dangerous Heartbleed bug.
Password manager LastPass adds a Heartbleed bug vulnerability scan to its site security check.
One of the critical flaws addressed allows IE 10 to be exploited by attack code placed on compromised Web sites.
We compiled a list of the top 100 sites across the Web, and checked to see if the Heartbleed bug was patched.
One of Patch Tuesday's security updates has been removed after Microsoft found that it can cause errors when paired with certain third-party software.
Chrome extension Chromebleed runs in the background and warns you when you open a site that has yet to be patched for the Heartbleed bug.
Next week's Patch Tuesday will see seven security fixes rolled out to fix holes in Internet Explorer, Office 2010, and Microsoft's Silverlight platform.

"Tutor's Success Surprises Elementary Teacher" IDRA Classnotes Podcast Episode 145
(September 29, 2014) Karen Leahy knew that having a Coca-Cola Valued Youth Program tutor work with students in her elementary classroom would help the tutors strengthen self-esteem. And she welcomed that opportunity. But she was surprised to see how they genuinely helped her first grade tutees get up to grade level in reading. Ms. Leahy is first grade teacher at the NOW Academy in the Los Angeles Unified School District and describes how she selected the students the Coca-Cola Valued Youth Program tutors would be assigned to and how the tutors were embraced by not just her two charges, but by the whole class. The IDRA Coca-Cola Valued Youth Program is a research-based, internationally-recognized dropout prevention program that has kept 98 percent of its tutors in school. It works by identifying junior high and high school students who are in at-risk situations and enlisting them as tutors for elementary school youngsters who are also struggling in school. Valued Youth tutors learn self-discipline and develop self-esteem; schools shift to the philosophy and practices of valuing students considered at-risk. Results show that tutors stay in school, have increased academic performance, improved school attendance and advanced to higher education. Ms. Leahy is interviewed by Dr. Sulema Carreón-Sánchez, a senior education associate. Send comments to

National PTA Visits Comunitario PTAs in the Rio Grande Valley
National PTA President, Otha Thornton, visited the lower Rio Grande Valley in May to see first-hand IDRA's Comunitario PTA effort that is spreading all over the lower Rio Grande Valley. He was invited by Lourdes Flores, co-founder of the first Comunitario PTA at ARISE. A Comunitario PTA is a community organization-based-PTA that gathers family leaders in Texas' poorest communities to engage them on education policies and educational opportunities for their children. Also, the Comunitario PTAs were awarded by the National PTA President.
How the Common Core Must Ensure Equity by Fully Preparing Every Student for Postsecondary Success
The national network of equity assistance centers is urging educators and other stakeholders to examine how implementation of the Common Core impacts all diverse leaners. Of particular concern are those students who traditionally have been underserved by our education systems and underrepresented in positive outcomes, including students of color, ELL students, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students. This brief outlines recommendations to help educators meet the Six Goals of Educational Equity to ensure that every student is equally well served by the Common Core.

Hot or Not? Beehouse Lamps by Yar Rassadin
This lighting concept from designer Yar Rassadin is based on the hexagonal shapes of the bee's natural building process and crystal technology &mdash inspiring the use of Swarovski crystals in a honey yellow color...

Maybe it's just my monitor, but they're unfortunately the exact color of Dramamine - am having an intense flashback to waves of childhood carsickness....
Not in my home, but in a retail, restaurant, or boutique space these would be stunning.
love 'em.
Gorgeous, but the lamps have that sickly yellow of those awful streetlights -- is it *sulfur* lights? I forget the chemical. Maybe it's just my monitor, but I wish it were in a honeyish amber gold rather than the brighter, lighter yellow.
Lovely!! But I agree with LJBMonkey that a more amber-ish or paler color would be better.
I like them, but can't help thinking about how hard they will be to dust
Wonderful -- a mid-century feel but totally fresh!
Very pretty...I agree with ljbmonkey though, it would be much better if it was a honey colored. I imagine the yellow light to be too intense/unnatural.
Yellow is my least favorite color too...
...but I can certainly appreciate the 70's vibe.
They're cute, but are awfully literal. They make me think of a themed restaurant.
I'd love these in warmer, more subdued tones of honey. Perhaps even a multicolor.
Guh, can't stand all this Swarovski crystal stuff. Bad bad bad.
they'd be very cool as color spectrum access (cerulean & robins egg blue), esp in other shapes/sizes...

so i reserved bob morley for caelan bc lol as much as i sorta h8 the 100 i love his dumb face so. here we are. anyway. his sister is still very much needed and i'm gonna be boring and say that it'd be awesome if her pb was marie avgeropoulos (if she isn't rserved of course) bc, well, reasons
ok some low rent character blurb for you guise
caelan priestly. twenty-six to eight. grifter. stray.
- caelan more or less lives by the motto "adapt or die". he's been on his own, raising himself and his sister, since he was, like, fifteen years old or some shit. he knows how to take care of himself and he'll do whatever it takes to keep his sister safe.
- seriously his sister is all that matters to him. he'd do anything, hurt anyone, for her. she's the only thing that's important in this world and he'd burn the whole damn planet down just to prove it.
- since losing their mom cae and his sister have been slumming it, tramping across the country, settling down for a little bit before moving on when they gather too much heat, and then picking up again. they've probs been in ny for only a month or so and caelan's thinking of putting down some kind of roots so his sister will know some stability in her lifetime. plus she's sort of getting restless and trying to break away more and more from him and the thought of his sister leaving him scares caelan more than anything.
- cae is a scrapper. he's violent and volatile and extremely paranoid and distrusting. he tries to avoid people as much as possible outside of grifting because they put him on edge and he seriously loathes most of them, even people he hasn't formally met. growing up poor and vulnerable as a kid has made him intensely obsessed with being anything but as an adult. he's gone about fighting back the whole entire wrong way, but it works for him and his sister so cae has a hard time feeling bad about it.
ok ok i'll post my character idea thing whatever now before i nap. look at me being all productive and shit.
so basically i rly rly rly want like an orphaned brother and sister duo. they're strays who just kind of go from one place to the next, grifting and whatever to make ends meet. they're super codependent and possessive of one another (brother maybe more so than sister??) and like idk their relationship is volatile and they love and hate each other in equal measure and like maybe there's some dramz with how their mom died or something?? idk idk. if anyone is interested def send me an ask!!
all right ok i guess we're doing this
name: bea
age: twenty-two
timezone: pacific
top 3 otps: would u believe me if i said i don't rly have any??
song-based plot you've always wanted: sdfdkngdg omg srsly too many to name
favorite place you've ever been: it's a tie between mount rainier and long beach, washington. i love nature apparently
rp craving: yeeugh omg this is a lot of pressure how do you words???

I spend a significant portion of my day working with companies to identify how they can levergage social technology to achieve return on this investment ("ROI"). Clearly the ultimate goal, regardless of the industry, is to make the most money as efficiently as possible. With this logic, ROI is ultimately cut and dry - will this technology/media make me more money per dollar I spend on it than other technologies/media? What I have discovered over the course of the past couple of years is that it's not a linear path to this most efficient added value. There are stepping stones. This is where defining ROI in social becomes an art over a science.
I know that investment in social media will yield more money per dollar spent that traditional media. Why is this? Because social data allows for greater relevance to the end customer than any other media. Not only can the subject matter by more relevant but the time and place that that message is delivered can be more appropriate. What does this mean now as the tie to the more efficient return is abstract - just what this post is titled - "Remember it's Our Investment."
Every company is at a different stage in it's social marketing evolution (take a look at Nike's #makeitcount campaign for the Nike+ Fuel Band - this would likely intimidate any company just getting their head around social). For some companies social investment is about audience growth, others have a huge audience already and it's time to engage and drive that audience to act, and others are at point where they can more greatly leverage their most valuable audience assets. What's important to remember when working with these companies, is to take a step back and ask them "What are your goals with social rightnow?" You can't run before you walk - similarly in social, you can't achieve the final goal without first achieving success in the intermediate steps.
Identify a few things to do right, invest in them with clear success metrics established, and achieve them. Trying to accomplish too many things spreads your resources thin and makes success less tangible. Proven success also leads to greater investment in future initiatives and provides a solid foundation for growth.

By GENE PATTERSON 6 News Anchor/Reporter
MARSABIT, Kenya (WATE) - In sub-Saharan Africa, millions of people have died from AIDS, and many millions more will die.
The problems are lack of diagnosis and lack of treatment with antiretroviral medicines (ARVs.) The ARVs can keep a person who is HIV positive from developing a full-blown case of AIDS.
The faith-based group Blood Water Mission, headquartered in Nashville, works with partners in Africa to bring clean water to African communities and to help in the battle against the AIDS pandemic.
University of Tennessee Athletic Director Mike Hamilton is a board member for Blood Water Mission. He and other board members traveled to Africa in late January and early February to see how their funding is making an impact.
One of the places they see that impact first hand is on a visit to a small clinic in Marsabit, Kenya.
The Tumaini Clinic, funded in part by Knoxville dollars raised last year, is fighting desperately to save lives.
During its time of operation, a little more than a year, the clinic has tested 6,000 patients and found 235 with AIDS, working to put them in programs.
The Blood Water Mission team and 6 News traveled from the desert town of Torbi, near the Ethiopian border, across the desert on a surface that barely qualifies as a road to reach the area where the clinic is.
The next morning, we walked the short distance from our guest house to the Tumaini Clinic.
Hamilton organized last year's fundraiser for the clinic. He came to Africa to make sure those dollars were well spent.
The clinic staff explained what they do and the sometimes difficult task of dealing with patients who are struggling to live.
"You just feel like crying, you know," said one of the staff doctors, Dr. Ivy Ongoro. "It's really, you feel it."
The AIDS epidemic in Africa is responsible for millions of deaths, leaving in its wake an orphan crisis of staggering proportions.
Blood Water's mission is to help in the battle against AIDS. It may be a surprise, but access to clean water is part of that strategy.
"People who are HIV positive, their systems are so weak that access to clean water is a lifesaver," said Jena Nardella, executive director of Blood Water Mission. "If they drink bad water, it compromises their ability to survive."
Our group was introduced to women and children living with HIV who have been helped by the Tumaini Clinic.
They included: Wa-ray, an eight-year old orphan whose parents both died of AIDS; Amino Dibo Hufu, 31, an AIDS widow; and her five-year old daughter.
Both Hufu and her daughter are shunned by family members because they have HIV.
Their testimonials were powerful, bringing tears to the eyes of some in the group. Afterwards we talked with the driving force behind the clinic, Aida Samir.
We asked what would've happened to the eight-year-old if the clinic had never been built? "Dying, after a short while without ARVs, without care, she would've died," Samir said.
The visit was eye opening and sobering. Houston resident W.T. Cutts offered a prayer afterward. "Thank you for blessing this group and keeping their strength up," he said. "Amen."
The group was taken next to Camp Caribou, which means "welcome" in Swahili. It's a camp for refugees. Thanks to some music, the group's mood began to lighten.
Group members were encouraged to dance. Knoxvillian Chris Kittrell did a spin move that drew smiles. Mike Hamilton also joined in.
Everyone was having a good time, but around them it was hard to ignore the poverty, or at least what many of us imagine poverty looks like, especially the housing.
The structures people live in there are little more than sticks and grass pieced together with cardboard and tarps. Around 280 people in 54 households call them home.
Wako Godana, 33, is among the residents. He says he doesn't see himself as poor. Before coming to the camp, he says he and his family had nothing.
Now he has a home and a small plot of land where he and his wife raise 10 children, several of them nieces and nephews.
"Right now, if I die, I know my child will inherit this piece of land, very important," Godana said, smiling.
The pride of ownership beamed across his face and it wasn't lost on board member Michelle Conn from Nashville.
"You look around and you realize this is very different from what we know and yet I'm so impressed with the dignity and the hope of the people we've met," Conn said. "The courage and the strength of these people. And the fact that he's (Godana) is caring for his family and so proud of his own plot of land and what that means for him and his future. It's amazing."
The team left the camp with a greater appreciation for the people who live there.

These Imagination Epic poems are examples of Epic poems about Imagination. These are the best examples of Imagination Epic poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
~ATLANTIS~ Featuring:) Kelly Deschler
Can't be re-written by the Gods
The land and sands of time'
Destroyed by the fire of Poseidon's curse
Atlantis swallowed by: Earth
In one day and one night
Peaceful existence met its end
Built on a volcano, now surrounded by ancient rippled tears
Lava stripped apart the rich and glorious empire
Enriched by Engineers and Architects whom loved power more than the Gods
Forgotten souls, sheltered by a watery grave
History withheld from shallow sunken memories,
Western sky's hide the truth, a vision from the Pillars of Hercules
"An island situated in front of The Strait of Gibraltar"
Ghostly ruins wait to rise above the Mediterranean and Atlantic Waves
A magical island held down by the hands of death,
Atlantis lost city walls ---a secret hidden by mermaids
Partially buried, beneath the ocean floor it lies
The largest sunken treasure never to be found
Magnificent pillars of an imperial palace still stand
Somewhere hidden under ancient sand
Some are leaning against turrets, that toppled after the impact
Nothing human will ever inhabit these walls
No feet will ever touch these staircases, again
Only an eerie silence now resides here, with the blue-green waters
Seaweed grows along it's outer walls, like ivy on a trellis.
Obscuring it even further from the human eye.
Other ocean tides will never compare
Tantalizing blend of fantasy and mystery
Stone walls covered with precious gems
-Listen to PLATO'S voice-
"Look close, Look close, into the sea!"
Through the light and Pillars of Hercules
Some where out there buried in the vast
~A Poet Destroyer Collaboration~
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Bones slowly desert distorted resting homes
Ascension of the dead -Longing to live again
Sands of desert flip the hour glass back
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Bones slowly desert distorted resting homes
Taking light from where evil strays
Feeding away leaving behind a death valley zone
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Moonlight vanishes to complete despair
Dead souls forsake the common land
Shadowing like Equinox light
Walking corpse covered in rotten barren sand
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Upright, forward broken taboo
Searching for the perfect breath of fresh air
Sounds of symbols march the ground
Searching to find their missing heartbeat
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Ascension of the dead -Long to live again
Bones slowly desert distorted resting home
Moonlight vanishing in complete despair
Echoes of the dead roam the air
Rugged ruins crumble silent through the night
Alien life form--- ---Far from human toucH
Living among it self--- ---In the heavens like a gurU
Intelligence kept from civilization------Scientist call it a phantoM
Earth remains alone--- ---Like a secret ninjA
NASA's top secret--- ---You are not humanN
I see the fire in your eyes!
This Red Angel, who's not human, intriguing with lies.
Pointing to the path that leads to paradise.
Ending Revelations with violence, breaking every inch of ice.
Blazing wings like the sunset over a field of corn.
A row of roses with rubies sharper than a thorn.
A devious smile covering up a set of horns.
Diluting me with images, since the day I was born.
Goose bumps when your essence is near.
I linger and shiver my lips with fear.
A slithery hypnotic tongue, the Red Angel wipes away my tear.
Holding the reddish key, whispering the word. "FREEDOM!"Into my ear.
Like the crimson tide lifting me from drowning at his request.
I find my heart pondering deeper and deeper within my chest.
Blessed with the curse of 'death' when my demons are depressed.
I'm still smiling to the sweet surrender of your breath.
A halo exploding like the fur of a volcano filled with lava.
Allowing the angel's advocate around~like a tree of strawberry guava.
Swallowing my own drops of red blood from my own saliva.
Living like the dead after a full bottle of vodka.
I beg for mercy at the Red Angels cow like feet.
Collapsing with sweat in his sweet eternal heat.
Gasping for the fresh air to avoid the smell of rotten meat.
I see the aura of an angel with his fangs ready to feast and eat.
Falling into a daze towards the red picket fence.
My Red House engraved with flames, after my feeling where condense.
My soul tormented by goodness at evils expense.
Flowing with every feeling including God's given sixth sense...

"LADY DEATH" ------Chaos!!!
Craving life was all of 'HOPE' desire.
Torturing her into the odyssey of Hells fire.
Ending her in heartbreak by her own insane,
cruel father Matthais.
A demon so obsessed with dark power.
Head demon to all hells devour.
Matthais allowing his beloved 'HOPE' to be burned.
In a hellish death as a witch.
Pleading for her life.
All 'HOPE' is lost,
in a pit of endless broken bones.
The supernatural appeared in front of 'HOPE'.
'HOPE' complied and renounce to give up humanity.
Tricked by demons who lied.
Manipulated that this would save her sanity.
A power bestowed with a creation so rare.
A Demi Goddess of destruction.
Chaos soon will inflict every hour.
With death in her place, she turns in to,
a cold blooded Diva of Death.
Reliving in the plague of dark ages.
Angels and Demons flow through her blood.
With contradiction of many stages.
Many evil forces out to end her existence.
Betrayed by all she knew.
Now she is locked in a demonic resistance.
Defeating Lucifer herself.
Blading the neck of the prince
Death lusting for power in an epic battle.
Lost forever in the era of judgment.
Revenge she claims on her throne.
Making Lucifer's power her own.
A forever endless graveyard.
Restoring into the blood of her new home.
Making hell tremble, many slay to death's assault.
Death arising to all her faults.
Declaring the lost of 'HOPE'
A mans worst nightmare in the sweetest form.
Over throwing her one time dream.
Obsessed with his Lady'''
Evil Earnie.
Rides by her side.
A domino of all killers.
In a blood bath stream.
Killing everyone in his & her path.
Killing for her love, his Lady Death love.
Pondering about her lifeless soul.
"All HOPE is gone!"
all that is left is death.
"Lady Death"
Lord of hell
On a mission of Mega Death.
To conquer all of earth.
Men killing for her demonic way.
Evil Earnie matching to the depth of her Odyssey.
With the belief .
That behind every good man, (EVIL EARNIE)
is a good women.. (LADY DEATH)
((Lady Death is a character in her own CHAOS ))
Split apart your ribcage,
Open up the corridor, and let me come in
Uneasiness instantly strikes through me
Let me sway away...
Let me flutter away...
Like a butterfly out of its cocoon
I'm trapped!Let me depart
Split apart your ribcage,
Unwrap me, let me go!
Believe me...reflect on me
Let me sway away...flutter away
Let us both seek the sun,
So we can grow together once more
I saw a fair young maiden, abandoned in her bed,
Tearful for the one she loved ,the one she chose to wed.
Who in a weakened moment tread, out to the mountain ledge,
Enticed by the knight in black, who brought him to the edge.
Come fly with me, the black knight said, " to a land of pure euphoria,
And let me show you wondrous things, that I can lay before you.
No more pain and no more strife, just endless days and endless nights
of wine and song and dance.
Come my prince ,come fly with me ,why not take a chance,
Forget your wife, come live your life ,it's time for new romance.
A tiny pill, is all it takes, a sniff of fine white powder,
Will keep you high, so you can fly up to the magic tower".
So ,the prince he ate the tiny pills and sniffed the fine white powder,
And soon he was addicted, to the magic of their powers.
Away he flew ,up to the moon, beyond the Milky Way,
Where stars came out and winked at him and beckoned him to play.
Everyday he ate the pills and sniffed the fine white powder,
But everyday...he needed more as they slowly lost their power,
And now he couldn't fly as high and that was terrible thing,
for there were more a more feathers missing from his wings.
Then one day ,while he flying, reaching for his dreams,
He felt the power leaving him ,and he began to scream.
Down and down and down he fell, crashing to the ground;;
Lost dreams and broken promises, lying all around.
And like a wounded bird with broken wings, that cease to flutter,
The truth rained down upon his head ,as he floundered in the gutter
Oh what a crazy fool he'd been, blinded by the knight,
Could he ever win her back ,and make the wrongs all right?
He cried and cried, into the night, regrets were his companions,
Until he heard the sound of hooves ,rumbling through the canyon.
Through tear-filled eyes, he saw a herd, of royal beauty stallions,
And perched upon ,their royal backs ,were knights in white so gallant.
Carefully ,they scooped him up ,and carried him away,
Into the East ,they rode from hell, for three long nights and days.
When long at last, with horses spent ,they reached their destination,
They placed him in the hands of God ,for this was His creation.
Great warmth began to fill his heart ,and light shone from his eyes,
He felt the gentle hand of God, and he began to cry.
Such happiness. he had never known. it lifted him so high,
He spread his wings, up to the sky ,and he began to fly.
Up to the sky, on mended wings, with angels all around him,
He heard the voice of God ring out, and totally surround him.
"I've done my part ,my fallen prince ,but the rest is up to you,
Fly straight and true, and don't look back ,no matter what you do.
Lead not thee to temptation son .for if you do, you'll die,
Fly straight and true, my fallen prince, or forever, cease to fly".
Will the prince ,journey home again ,to his fair and lovely maiden
Or, will temptation ,lead him back, to the evil Black Knight Satan?
When I am Colder,Older and then alone...
I will collect the sky on my own...
When the art has faded and the days then fade-
when everyone has gone away...
I may finally see what never was saw
.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhh............... the quiet sky
The unlit room which bares my end...shows the flashes of my pains my joys and sins.
This life has been a strange one since the curtains were drawn
These paper and plastic figures have clouded the dawn
I was once younger,foolish,and obsessed with truth
Now I am bitter,sour,dour faced with my heart under shoe
The children were all searching or lost in a crowd
All weeds in a garden...growing vile and foul
Though beauty was sold it never came true
Obsessions and vanity have traveled safe through
Materials and poison and everything lost
have been burned in the fires or lost in the frost
I stand face to mirror tearing my being apart
Winding thoughts of love,pain,god,and art
As the sun sets and the darkness grows
I too shall follow this pattern in tow
Death has a friendly hand and a pretty face
She has given me comfort as I leave this place
The wars have occurred,humanity's lost
Souls have been burnt in the fire or lost in the frost
Day was Life,Night is Death
And the latter has given counsel on my final steps
Connecting with nature
Walking along I find peace…
Autumn leaves surround me
Crunching rhythms at my feet
I Step inside harmony ~
Brown leaves start swirling
A Tiny tornado forming
Admiringly…I stand glowing…
A mighty wind blows off my hat
Quickly…I wonder …what was that?
As I hold onto my head
It blows away end over end
Nature playing games instead
My gracious hat…ahead it blew
I ran after it fast and true~
Blown up against a Willow
Floppy hat blocked indeed
Tiny raindrops starting to fall
Cool drops kiss my cheek
Nature's spirits forever speak ~
deal with it
i will not let my emotions
be monitored
this is me
if you do not like the
stay away
i am me
so why not enjoy
if it were left up to me
society would be ignored
i would fly to you in my
widows' weeds with hand-
fulls of forget me nots
i would wear a purple veil
to obscure the depth of
my sorrow
or not
i would hook you
in the eyes and say
hi. why me flatly
with nuance
i would move myself
into your space
and waste us both
without dignity
i would use your arms
around me to grieve
if , only if, it were
left up to me

Most of us are hoping to live long and healthy lives.
Right now there are 55-thousand people in the U.S. who are 100 years old, or older.
In fact, people older than 100 are the fastest growing age group in the country..
So what are their secrets to longevity?
Frank Di Paolo, Jr. is 100 years old.
"I am honestly, 100, and a half years old."
And he doesn't miss a beat! He drives to work every day, working in the office of a state senator.
"I honestly believe that if you get enough rest, exercise some, you eat well, you're going to live."
One secret he believes to living a long life is wine.
"I think this has a lot to do with getting old," he says.
In fact, red wine contains polyphenols, chemicals that some research has shown can ward off heart disease.
Dr. Thomas Perls has studied centenarians for more than a decade.
"We like to study people like you and their families to and figure out," he said. "Why they live so long?"
Want to know how long you'll live? Take a look at your relatives. Dr. Perls believes 30% of how well you'll age is in your genes.
"Our studies show that exceptional longevity, that is living to 100 or older, runs very strongly in families," Dr. Perls said.
Centenarians also tend to have certain personality traits.
"Many of them had very, very stressful lives, but what seems to be the key to them is that they seem to manage it so very well. They don't hold on to stuff, they don't dwell on it."
They are rarely depressed.
"I just be me," says Ellen Doble.
Genetic variations also slow down the aging process. In fact, 20% of centenarians, like Ellen, had children after the age of 40, their fertility a marker for the rest of their body.
"The older you get, the healthier you've been," added Dr. Perls.
Studies show centenarians have 60-percent lower rates of heard disease, stroke and high blood pressure
"One of the reasons centenarians are rare is because not of a rare one factor, but rather, it's the combination of factors that makes them rare. It's a bit like winning the lottery," Dr. Perls commented. "If you have one or two numbers, it's pretty easy, but getting seven numbers, that makes you rare."
That combination of luck, lifestyle and genes can add up to a very long live.
"You know, I got it in here that I'm going to live about ten more years," Di Paolo says.
Dr. Perls' study shows Seventh Day Adventists have the longest lifespan out of any group in the country.
They are vegetarians, they don't drink—don't smoke.
They exercise and set aside time for spiritual activities.

Why billboards? Because, in addition to owning Sherman Hills, Mr. Morgan also owns an outdoor advertising company known Morgan Outdoors.

Cranial Dystonia - Oromandibular Dystonia
Cranial dystonia is a term used to describe a neurological disorder that affects the
muscles of the head, face and neck. Oromandibular dystonia affects the muscles of the
jaw, lips and tongue. The jaw may be pulled either open or shut and speech or
swallowing can be difficult. Spasmodic Dysphonia involves the muscles of the throat
that controls speech. Also called Spastic Dysphonia or Laryngeal Dystonia, it causes
strained and difficult speaking or breathy speech. Meige Syndrome is the combination
of focal eyelid dystonia (Blepharospasm) and Oromandibular dystonia and sometimes
spasmodic dysphonia. Spasmodic Torticollis can be classified as a type of cranial
Originating from a part of the brain called the Basal Ganglia; dystonia itself is a
neurological condition affecting various muscles in the body. It causes an undesirable
muscular contraction or twisting. In dealing with this disorder, and trying to obtain relief,
many try Botox. It is Botulinum toxin, but the "treatment of choice." As a sufferer of
Blepharospasm, the dystonia that affects the eyes, I tried it twice. The treatments were
six weeks apart and affected my eyes and the side of my face and thereby changed my
smile. The idea of putting a toxin into my body no longer appealed to me and I stopped
it. Later I found a natural whole food that supported my body nutritionally. Within six
weeks, my symptoms had improved and so had my quality of life . It made sense
because it was nutrition and not a toxin. Now it is 16 years later and I am still near
symptom-free, I have a passion to help others find the same relief. It is safe, proven by
the study I had at Johns Hopkins. Hundreds of people over the last twenty five years
have found this food to be effective.

You know what people say about heroes? Our heroes of today had heroes of their own back in the day. That's how the current crop of athletes have become the best at what they do; they had role models to look up to when they were young. If you're one of the current crop of Formula One drivers, there's one name that comes to mind: the late, great Ayrton Senna.
Jenson Button andLewis Hamilton are arguably two of the biggest names in F1 these days. But at one point, they too were racing fans – and Senna fans at that. So when they were able to take a look inside the historic McLaren garage – home to the team's historic racecars from yesteryear - you kind of expected that they would gravitate towards one that belonged to a certain former World Champion.
Ayrton Senna.
And for two of the most charismatic drivers in the F1 grid today, it was a rare moment of silent contemplation given the rich tradition and long history that they were surrounded in. And to be honest, it was a side of both Button and Hamilton that we actually enjoyed.
For a moment, they were just like us: race fans who had the opportunity to sit in the same seat that they're beloved hero once occupied.

Hey everyone, I'm in a little situation.
So, I'm making this shoutbox with ruby, and I want a way to easily display the time of the post by the users.. so I used timestamp.
Heres the table I used:
sqlite> create table shouts
...> (id INT NOT NULL ,
...> postdate timestamp(14) ,
...> name VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL ,
...> description VARCHAR( 200 ) NOT NULL ,
...> PRIMARY KEY ( id )
...> );
In my application controller, I have the scaffold method. When I try to create new entries, I get this error:
shouts.id may not be NULL: INSERT INTO shouts ('name', 'postdate', 'description') VALUES('adf', NULL, 'adf')
Is there a simple way to fix this? Thank you for your time.

How do you find these book covers?! I like the top one better, maybe because it looks more sinister. Have you read either? And where are the editors who are supposed to check out these kinds of things?

Jobs shock as talent makes a bolt for it
Posted February 23, 2010 by Peoplebank Australia
- February 23, 2010
- Peoplebank In The Media
Appeared in: The Australian
Author: Jennifer Foreshew
Date: February 23rd, 2010
Information technology recruiters are predicting a round of musical chairs this year after employees sat tight during the financial crisis. Dissatisfaction over job losses, salary freezes and slashed or axed bonuses has eroded loyalty, according to employment experts.
Employers will have their work cut out keeping talent this year.
As major projects such as the national broadband network gain traction, there are fears also of a skills shortage in some specialties.
According to executive search specialist Debra Kwasnicki, retention will be a critical issue.
"I have never known a time in my 15 years in recruiting where there have been so many unhappy people in jobs," Ms Kwasnicki said.
"The music hasn't been playing, so the chairs haven't been moving around and an awful lot of people are saying as soon as the market picks up I'm out of here. It will get back to how good an employer you are."
Peoplebank chief operating officer Peter Acheson also expects turbulence.
"When you start to see a pick-up in employment demand, employees have long memories and those who don't feel they were treated well, or have stayed with their current employer because the market was a bit tough, will start to shop around," Mr Acheson said.
Dominos Pizza Enterprises chief information officer Barry Wiech is seeing the supply of good developers starting to dry up.
"I think that is going to put pressure on budgets and so on for projects with higher salaries," he said. "Projects that get funded now may actually get put on hold to . . . until resources become available to fill those projects."
Department of Immigration and Citizenship chief information officer Bob Correll is expecting the tight overall resourcing environment to be a challenge.
DIAC will hire at least 10 graduates this year and five APS apprenticeships, and beyond that will be influenced by the scale of the work program.
"We still have key areas where we see recruitment needs and skill shortage needs," Mr Correll said.
DIAC is tracking towards its final release in June of the $600 million Systems for People program that has been running for more than four years.
"We have got 1100 to 1200-odd people and that will come down to in the order of 800," he said.
The department will be looking to hire a host of technical specialists.

Modupe Adunni Martin pleaded no contest to felony workers compensation fraud after being videotaped performing a sex act in a park that doctors said she shouldn't have been able to perform.
SAN MATEO, Calif. — A sex romp at a public park helped prosecutors convict a California woman of faking an ankle injury to collect workers' compensation payments, authorities said.
Modupe Adunni Martin, 29, was sentenced to nine months in jail on Thursday in San Mateo County after pleading no contest in October to felony workers compensation fraud.
Martin was caught on videotape in August 2009 throwing her crutches into a car and running in high heels to meet her boyfriend at a public park, where she took part in a sex act that doctors concluded she couldn't have done with an injured ankle, District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
She was arrested and charged with 10 counts of insurance fraud.
"I guess love just helps one get over injuries," Wagstaffe said in a phone interview on Friday.
Martin reported the injury in February 2009 while working as a janitor for the Sequoia Union High School District.
Claiming the injury left her unable to walk, Martin made 10 visits to doctors over a three-month span. A co-worker suspected she was exaggerating and alerted the district, which advised investigators.
Martin was taken into custody after sentencing. A call to her attorney, Emily Andrews, by The Associated Press was not immediately returned.
Martin was also sentenced to 3 years of supervised probation and ordered to pay more than $79,000 in restitution.

Tis the gaming season, and some of the biggest titles are set for release over the next 45 days. This include AC3 (otherwise know as Assassin's Creed 3), Call of Duty, and of course Halo 4. Commercials for the 4th installment of the game, which ships November 6th, began airing this week, and they're epic, if not almost movie worthy.
To celebrate the game's release, Halo 4 developer, 343 Industries and Microsoft teamed up to build this exclusive Halo 4 Xbox 360. Much like the Star Wars version, it includes a custom skinned Xbox 360 that has been finished in a Halo facade. The two included wireless controllers feature blue LED lights (not green), where as the console emits in game sound effects when the console is turned on and when the eject button is pushed. You'll also score a 320GB hard drive, Xbox's biggest, along with a black headset and the Halo 4 game.
If you want the limited edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 bundle, you'll need to drop $350. For those that preorder now, you'll receive a $10 credit good towards any Amazon Instant video, and an exclusive customizable "Web" armor skin that will be downloaded via a code two days after the game ships.

PLINY, W.Va. (AP) — While there is something magical about choosing the perfect Christmas tree, growing a superb holiday decoration takes dedication.
The owners of Hidden Acres Christmas Tree Farm work throughout the year. Running a tree farm requires planting, trimming, shaping, and protecting the crop from culprits ranging from deer to disease.
It also means mowing between the rows and tidying up in preparation for families soon to arrive at the choose-your-own Christmas tree farm.
"I work all the time," said David Osborne, who runs a paint and body shop during the week and tends the farm as a hobby on weekends.
While the farm requires lots of attention, he can't imagine not continuing the business his parents started in 1968.
Families begin arriving the day after Thanksgiving to harvest the results of his hard work.
"It's nice to hear the kids running through the fields," he said. "You hear them laughing. That's pretty neat."
His parents, Edna and Carl "Sonny" Osborne, started the farm more than four decades ago by planting more than 5,000 Scotch and White Pine trees purchased through the West Virginia Department of Agriculture. They had been married 59 years when Carl died in 2010.
Carl "Sonny" Osborne ran a service station for many years and ran the tree farm as a sideline in order to build a retirement nest egg. Once the initial crop was big enough to cut, the couple sold Christmas trees on a lot in St. Albans near the service station.
When David Osborne was growing up, he helped tend the farm and tree lot.
The tree lot closed in 2010 when his father died and the business now focuses on the families who come to Pliny every year to choose and cut. Some bring along their own saws, but Osborne generally does the cutting with his equipment for customers.
While Osborne, 50, does the outdoor work, his 82-year-old mother takes care of the bookkeeping.
She owns about 48 acres and he has nearly 30 of rolling Mason County land where several fields hold about 15,000 trees, including White Pine, Blue Spruce, Scotch Pine and Norway Spruce. David uses a power trimmer to shape them and his friend, Mary Hill, prunes the tops by hand. Most of the trimming is done in June and July.
It takes six to 10 years for a tree to grow to Christmas decoration potential. New trees are planted every year in late March and early April.
Mowing is an ongoing task and issues with the Gravely tractor have made mowing difficult for a few weeks. Osborne is eager to get the machine back from the repair shop so he can get the farm in shape before Christmas tree seekers begin arriving after Thanksgiving.
"I love mowing," he said. "It's relaxing."
As he works in the solitude of nature, Osborne often sees wildlife including groundhogs, snakes, bears, deer, mice, rabbits, foxes or coyotes. The only critters that annoy him are the ones that munch on his trees.
Artificial trees can't hold a candle to the magic of live ones, he said.
"We get more people every year," he said. "We had 50 to 60 families last year."
Picking a tree is a family tradition for many. But growing them is a hobby for the Osbornes.
"There's not that much money in it," Edna Osborne said.
Trees range in price from $20 to $40 and the farm is open to visitors each Saturday and Sunday beginning the weekend after Thanksgiving and continuing until Christmas. Hours are 10 a.m. to dark.
Hidden Acres Christmas Tree Farm is located at 2102 Mount Union Road in Pliny. For more information, email osbornex...@aol.com or call 304-419-5571 or 304-727-4848.
