John D. Skrentny
John Skrentny is Professor of Sociology and Co-Director of the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies (CCIS) at UC-San Diego. He is also Co-Director of the San Diego regional node of the Scholars Strategy Network. His research focuses on public policy, law and inequality, especially as they relate to the science and engineering workforce, immigration, and civil rights.
Current Projects
Supported by a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation, Skrentny has finished a book to assess the Civil Rights Act of 1964 at its 50th anniversary--to bring the civil rights story up to date and examine how its employment protections work for nonwhites in the current era of mass immigration and the post-industrial economy. Available from Princeton University Press in the Fall of 2013, After Civil Rights: Racial Realism in the New American Workplace focus on "racial realism," or the perceptions of employers that race is real, and that strategically managing the perceived racial abilities of different groups, or the effects of racial symbolism on particular audiences, will help organizations achieve their goals. The book examines different contexts of employment and discrimination law, including business and the professions; government employment; media and entertainment; and low-skilled employment. Racial realism is a significant departure from both the Civil Rights Act and also affirmative action, and despite the widespread and elite advocacy of racial realism, it has found very little support in the courts.
With support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the National Science Foundation, Skrentny has teamed with Kevin Lewis to understand the dynamics of demand for workers , and in particular, how they manage to keep their skills current in the face of continual scientific and technological change. This is part of a larger project that seeks to explain several puzzles regarding science and engineering (sometimes called "STEM" for science, technology, engineering, math) workers. This workforce has been the subject of much policy and scholarly attention due to its links to innovation, jobs, and economic growth, and the widespread concerns that America is not producing enough homegrown talent and must compete with other nations for foreign talent. The goal is to use National Science Foundation data to show in unprecedented detail which fields are shedding workers and what the characteristics are of those who leave science and engineering occupations--as well as those who move into these jobs from other degree fields. In doing so, we hope to generate valuable knowledge for policy development, direct students to the most promising STEM fields, and better understand the dynamics of demand for highly-skilled immigrants.
Skrentny also has been working on the comparative study of immigration law and policy. The project seeks to understand regional variation in immigration policy--and asks a basic question: why is it that knowing whether an advanced, industrialized country is in North America, Europe or East Asia helps us to predict what its immigration policy will look like? That there is so much variation is somewhat surprising, given that these societies are facing similar problems of aging populations and more educated populations in the context of still-robust demand for both low- and high-skilled labor.
Bio and Past Projects
Skrentny's books have included The Minority Rights Revolution (Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2002), which won the Distinguished Book Award from the Political Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association and was a finalist for the Liberty Legacy Foundation Award of the Organization of American Historians. The book was featured in author-meets-critics panels at meetings of the American Sociological Association, the Midwest Political Science Association, and the Western Political Science Association. This work was also widely reviewed in academic journals, as well as The Washington Post Book World, The Boston Globe, and The Nation. His first book, The Ironies of Affirmative Action: Politics, Culture and Justice in America (University of Chicago Press, 1996), is a study of the development and politics of affirmative action in employment for African Americans. This book was featured in a author-meets-critics panel at the conference of the Social Science History Association, was reviewed in a wide variety of academic journals, as well as The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist.
Skrentny's scholarly articles have also appeared in a variety of leading academic journals in sociology, political science and law. These include American Journal of Sociology, Annual Review of Sociology, Studies in American Political Development, Georgetown Law Journal and International Migration Review. He has also written for non-academic audiences in the US and abroad in such outlets as Chronicle of Higher Education, Le Monde diplomatique, San Diego Union-Tribune, New York Newsday, Jewish Daily Forward, The Hill, Talking Points Memo and CNN.com.
He has received grants and fellowships from a variety of sources including the Guggenheim Foundation, the Japan Foundation's Center for Global Partnership, the Social Science Research Council, the National Science Foundation and the Princeton University Center for Human Values. He has been active in professional societies for several disciplines including sociology, political science, history and law, reviews work and advises students in all of these fields and serves on the editorial board for the Oxford University Press book series on Contemporary American Political Development.
Skrentny has been invited to present his research to departments of sociology, political science, and history; at schools of law and public policy; and at leading research universities in the US and abroad. He has also presented work at the German Marshall Fund's Brussels Forum and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, and spoken to audiences in the U.S., Austria, Belgium, France, Hungary, South Korea and the United Kingdom. He has also been a visiting professor at Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea.
Along with staff from the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, Skrentny recently edited a multidisciplinary collection of articles for a special issue of American Behavioral Scientist (August 2012) entitled "Is Immigration Necessary? Work, Growth and the Future in the U.S. and Japan." His earlier guest editor stint with that journal was later expanded and published as an edited book, Color Lines: Affirmative Action, Immigration and Civil Rights Options for America (University of Chicago Press, 2001).
Funded by the Russell Sage Foundation, Skrentny was part of a team of political scientists, led by Theda Skocpol and Larry Jacobs, who joined forces to analyze the politics of reform during the first two years of the presidency of Barack Obama. Skrentny's chapter on the politics of immigration reform, as well as the other chapters by the other team members, can be found at the Russell Sage Foundation's website devoted to the project, "Reaching for a New Deal."

The 2008 Monte Bello is striking. It is a decidedly muscular Monte Bello endowed with layers of dark fruit. Tobacco, mint, asphalt and crushed rocks develop in the glass, adding tons of complexity and finesse. A long, saline finish rounds things out beautifully. In 2008 the cold growing season stretched into October and the wine definitely has the feel of a cool vintage. The spring frost and the second year of drought conditions lowered yields significantly. Yields were just 1.25 tons per acre on average, but some of the older vineyards came in at less than 1 ton per acre. The balance of fruit, tannin and structure is simply extraordinary, but the wine needs time, most likely lots of it. In 2008 the blend is 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2038.
(8/ 2011)
Glass-staining ruby. Powerful, pungent aromas of cherry-vanilla, cassis, candied licorice and graphite, along with a suave floral oil quality that gains strength with air. Deeply pitched dark berry flavors show a liqueur-like intensity, as well as notes of smoky Indian spices, violet and vanilla. Ripe but quite vibrant, wih superb finishing clarity and persistence. This extremely young wine makes the case that high alcohol isn't a prerequisite for intensity or power in California cabernet.
(10/ 2011)
Very tight, dense, tense and firm, with aromas of road tar, dried currant and dried tobacco leaf offering plenty of enticement, picking up gamy earth and black licorice notes. Retains its trim, narrow band of flavors and focus..
(11/ 2011)
Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance Merlot, this is a delicious wine for drinking now. Its rich and succulent in berries, cherries, currants, dark chocolate and cedar, and the tannins are soft and refined. Given Monte Bellos history of extreme ageworthiness, you might want to cellar it for an extended period of time.
(12/ 2011)
Very correct and with lots of lift. Dry finish and wonderfully complex though embryonic.

European police arrested 92 people allegedly involved in a child pornography operation that sold videos to 2,500 customers in 19 countries "including teachers, doctors and lawyers," the Associated Press reports.

Get Your P90x DVDs And Start Training Now
Making a decision regarding the best training program for you needs to be done with so much care and caution. Never rush to make such decisions when the P90x program is there to give you all the relief you need. It is true that, not all positive stuff should be believed. However; with so much positive stuff being said about the P90x program, it comes as no surprise that many people are buying their DVDs and trying as much to learn all they can in order to make their life better. No matter how much money you have, there is no way you can benefit from the program is you are not dedicated to it.
Going through all the DVDs for the P90x program you buy will be great. This way, you will have a feel or some ideas on what you are really about to do. Also, you can select which workout routine you would prefer to do before the others. When you preview all workout routines and you know what they all have, you can start your workouts peacefully with nothing to worry about. Make sure all videos are made available to your doctor to tell you which ones will be best for you and which ones will not be, if you have some health disorders.
There are some diets or even exercises it will have that might not go well with you even though the program is good. So, a professional needs to be brought into the picture soon. If you are healthy enough to go all the way through with the workouts of the P90x, it will be better if you purchased only the very best equipment. In order to prevent any confusion, the inventors of the P90x program have the name of the various equipments that will be needed for all routines. Never try to buy equipments that are cheap and are very old if you treasure your safety. Take time to read some of these treadmill reviews before starting your P90x training program.
The nutritional plan comes with the program set and is also extremely important. Going through the exercises alone without the right eating habits will not give you the fast results you need in due time. The P90x program has a well organized and detailed nutrition guide which includes various unique recipes for the period of 3 months. Some of the recipes will need to be eaten before the workout begins every single day which is great. There is no way you will not love the recipes as well as meals offered for every single day and process.

You can find the first one here, or you can just read this one.
I never planned on writing another page on this topic because length really isn't that important to me, but after being asked to write another page several times by several different people, I gave in.
I hope this new page helps to answer any natural hair growth questions that you may have!
I wanna point out that more hair is MORE WORK.
Yes, long hair is beautiful, but it also comes with commitment and is harder than shorter hair when it comes to detangling, stretching, conditioning, washing, etc.
TIP ONE – Moisture
Leave-in, conditioner, moisturizer; remember that these things are critical in retaining length. Brittle, dry hair breaks and looks a lot less pretty than moisturized hair.
Don't even bother working with your hair when you're upset or you will quickly become frustrated. Take your time and start when you're calm, well feed, well rested, etc. Whatever it takes.
If your ends are breaking as fast as they're growing, you will never see a difference in your hair length.
Using the best products for your hair, patience, getting exercise, natural hair treatments; all of this will only add to the healthiness of your hair and should be supplemented into your schedule as needed.
Well, there are my African American hair growth tips for you. Please comment below if you have any to add or any that I may have missed. Thanks for reading!

Elementary 1 Classes
This state approved classroom provides opportunities for children 6-9 years of age to explore concepts in a variety of ways: concrete, abstract, and through real-life experiences.
The curriculum follows a definite order beginning with hands-on materials and gradually moves toward abstract thinking. Children are submerged in Reading, through a phonetic-based program, and Math on a daily basis through independent study as well as group settings. The children receive lessons in mathematical operations and basic facts of addition, multiplication, subtraction and division, fractions, time, money, and measurement, as well as many other areas that challenge each child to reach their full potential. Cultural lessons are presented throughout the year in the areas of Zoology, Botany, Geography and History. Each lesson is aimed to encourage higher-level thinking skills and spark the child's inner desire to research and discover. These concepts are explored in a tangible, hands-on approach through different experiments and activities.

UN draft stresses risk of global warming, from economy to health
OSLO (Reuters) - Global warming poses a mounting threat to health, economic growth, crops and water supplies, according to a draft report by top scientists that puts unprecedented emphasis on the risks of a changing climate.
A leaked 29-page draft by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), about the impacts of rising temperatures and due for release in March 2014, mentions "risk" 139 times against just 41 in its last assessment in 2007.
The increased stress on risk may make the case for cutting greenhouse gas emissions clearer both to policymakers and the public by making it sound like an insurance policy for the planet, analysts say.
Many governments, meeting in Warsaw from November 11-22 for U.N. talks on climate change, have long pleaded for greater scientific certainty before making billion-dollar investments in everything from flood barriers to renewable energies.
But certainty is elusive in climate science, as it is in predicting anything from the weather to Wall Street.
"The IPCC has transitioned to what I consider to be a full and rich recognition that the climate change problem is about managing risk," Christopher Field, co-chair of the IPCC group preparing the report, told Reuters.
The report, posted on a climate sceptical website "nofrakkingconsensus" on November 1, resembles a previous draft that warns that parts of society and nature are more vulnerable than expected to climate change.
Field, a professor at Stanford University, also said there was more certainty about many aspects of climate change than in 2007. He cautioned the draft was subject to change in editing.
It says, for instance, that a rise of temperatures of more than 2.5 degrees Celsius (4.5 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times could lead to economic losses of between 0.2 and 2.0 percent of global income.
It also says that warming will exacerbate threats to health, damage yields of major crops in many areas and lead to more floods. It could also exacerbate poverty and economic shocks that are root causes of violent conflicts.
"Responding to climate-related risks involves making decisions and taking actions in the face of continuing uncertainty about the extent of climate change and the severity of impacts in a changing world," the draft says.
The panel's credibility is under extra scrutiny, for its last report in 2007 wrongly exaggerated the melt of Himalayan glaciers. Several reviews said that this error, however, did not undermine the key findings in 2007.
James Painter, of the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University, said that the focus on risk may make the panel's message clearer.
"More risk language helps to shift the public debate away from the idea that decisions should be delayed until absolute certainty is obtained - something that may never be achieved."
He said politicians and businesses were used to making decisions based on risks. And many people insure their homes against fire even though the risks of a blaze are small.
Field said the report tries to capture a wide range of risks, including highly unlikely events that might have a major impact. "That's the way risk is generally formulated if you are an insurance company or figuring out an anti-terrorism policy."
The report is the second in a four-part IPCC assessment meant to guide governments that have promised to agree a pact in 2015 to slow climate change. The first, in September, raised the probability that most global warming is man-made to at least 95 percent from 90 in 2007. (Editing by Mark Heinrich)

The warming has happened mostly in the northern latitudes, Alaska, the Canadian Arctic and parts of Siberia, but with the exception of Greenland, and Antarctica, which have not warmed. So far, the warming and increased carbon dioxide have resulted in longer growing seasons and increased crop yields.
There is no doubt that global warming is occurring, the question is what's causing it: mankind, natural cycles or both.
Global warmists believe that the climate is warming due to the greenhouse effect of CO2 emissions from the burning of fossil fuels. Following are certain statistics about CO2, which might throw this conclusion into question:
1. CO2 is a trace gas in the atmosphere comprising only four parts per ten thousand.
2. CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, composing only 4% of all greenhouse gases, as compared to 95% for water vapor and 1% for other trace gasses.
3. Perhaps most importantly, CO2 is a weak greenhouse gas, roughly one-fifth as effective as water vapor at retaining heat.
Given the above, it is unlikely that CO2 has played as large a role in the warming of the earth as believed by most global warmists.
Many deniers of anthropogenic global warming believe that the current warming trend is part of a larger historical cycle of warming and cooling. We know historically that there was a Roman Warming Period that lasted from 200BC to 400AD and a Medieval Warming Period from 950AD to 1250AD, both of which had temperatures that were arguably as warm or warmer than those of today. We also had little ice ages, the last of which ended in 1850.
In conclusion, global warming is caused by both mankind and nature, but probably more by nature than mankind.

McAfee's third annual State of the Mal Web report finds that more than 5 percent of Web sites could cause security risks, reports V3.co.uk.
The report not only looked at 27 million Web sites, but also 104 top-level domains. The world's most popular domain, ".com," jumped from ninth to second most dangerous. Cameroon's ".cm" domain took the top spot as the most dangerous. Mike Gallagher, chief technology officer for McAfee Labs, explains:
Cyber criminals target regions where registering sites is cheap and convenient, and poses the least risk of being caught.
Another reason the ".cm" domain is popular among cyber criminals is that unsuspecting users often mistype ".com."

Welcome to the final installment of "Bear with us" this season. I'll be on vacation next week and fortunately will miss the final game of the season against Tampa Bay. Let's get to it.
First quarter
The Bears will start at their own 20 after the kickoff went through the end zone. On first down Chris chandler dumps it up the middle to Leon Johnson for a few yards. ... Chandler then unloads to a wide-open Dez White way down field for a 76-yard touchdown pass and that barely woke Pat Summerall up. Nice play-action by Chandler.
Bears 7, Panthers 0
The Panthers feature Dee Brown heavily on their first possession and don't really get anywhere. A "head slap" penalty on tight end Wesley Walls moves them back 15 yards and basically puts an end to the drive. Here comes former Bear headache Todd Sauerbrun. Wonder if he's still going with the "Hang Time" license plates.
The Bears start just inside their own 20. Leon Johnson picks up about 5 yards on a straight ahead dive. And then is bottled up after a yard trying to go the outside. ... On third and 6, the Bears throw 3 yards to Johnson. That's more like the Bears we know. And out comes current punter Brad Maynard.
Rosevelt Colvin drags Brown down for no gain. ... Rodney Peete connects with Walls for a few and then Nick Goings breaks through the line for the first down. But the Bears defense stops them on as Summerall rambles on about his chiropractor. "Hang Time" comes on for another punt.
A friend writes in to ask if droning Pat Summerall could be any enthusiastic. No. Any less would be comatose. You get the feeling he's calling this game sitting down, leaning on an elbow.
Johnson runs for a few up the middle and Booker catches a short pass. Chandler then sails one to tight end John Gilmore for about 20 yards across midfield. ... A reverse to Ahmad Merritt backfires as the exchange is botched and Carolina falls on the ball.
Brown gets nothing on first down and then Peete twice throws incomplete and the Panthers will punt again.
After the touchback the Bears start at the 20 and rookie back Adrian Peterson picks up a yard. ... Chandler finds Gilmore over the middle for a short gain. ... Chandler tries to force it in to Johnson over the middle but it's broken up and the Bears will punt.
Second quarter
Carolina is getting nowhere by running Brown and a couple of short sideline patterns. ... But then Peete hits Steve Smith on a crossing pattern and he's gone in the open field. Jerry Azumah catches up to and slows Smith at the 10 and Mike Green takes him down inside the 5. Rookie Ro Williams was covering Smith on that play and really got burned. ... On first and goal, Brown scores.
Bears 7, Panthers 7
Merritt breaks a nice return out to the 40. But Chandler is sacked on first down by Al Wallace for a loss of 17. ... Chandler is hit as he throws and the ball goes straight up in the air and finally caught near the slideline by Peterson. The Bears are called for holding on the play but the Panthers decline. ... Now Carolina blitzes and Chandler is sacked near the goal line. The Bears went backwards 40 yards on that possession. Maynard punts and the Panthers will take over around midfield.
The Panthers go three and out but Merritt mishandles the punt and Carolina recovers at the 10. ... Peete finds Muhsin Muhammad, who fights his way to the 1. ... Peete fakes to Brown, rolls right and then has to throw it away. ... Brown scores his second touchdown of the day.
Panthers 14, Bears 7
Picking up where they left off the Bears can't move the ball. ... Johnson runs for nothing and then Chandler is pressured and nailed again. He's flagged for intentional grounding and has trouble getting up. Henry Burris is up and talking to John Shoop. Chandler is coming out with a bad shoulder and here's Burris. Burris rolls right and then throws left to no one. The Bears will punt.
Carolina can't go anywhere either. Alex Brown got close to Peete on third down and Ro Wiliams made a nice play breaking up the pass. Yet another punt.

Renovations Begin On Historic West Tennessee School
BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Renovations are beginning on a historic schoolhouse in West Tennessee that was once attended by singer Tina Turner.
The Jackson Sun reported the Delta Heritage Center is overseeing the restoration process for Flag Grove School.
The group says it will use $150,000 in donations to restore the school, which was built in 1889 and was originally an African-American subscription school. It closed in the 1960s.
The school building was moved in 2012 from Nutbush, which is Turner's hometown, to the West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center in Brownsville.
When the restoration is completed, the school will house memorabilia from Turner's career as well as historical information about the education provided by the school.

Nobody with even a grade-school education would fall for Romney's shameless Etch-a-Sketch routine. A Good Cartoon.
And yet he creamed Obama.
I love Michael Ramirez. He's living proof that the pen is mightier a than the sword.
Yes he did, it was unbelievable, not only does Obama have to bring his game up he will need to bury Romney in the next two debates.
Come on 65 to 27 and 18 percent undecided. With Obama having over 4 more minutes. That means Obama had more then 10% more time then Romney's 38 minutes. Or should I say %10 more time to dig a whole for himself.
See Gary Varvel Oct 04
Obama realy does need a teleprompter.No wonder he won't release his grades from any school.
The puppet can't think for himself. No teleprompter – No puppet master.
@ Gore Bane. A very good post,thanks.
Tell me about if they are not making him out to walk on water they are making excuses for him or going extreme in the other direction when he did poorly on the debate like Chris Matthews.
Either way it is childish. Did anyone see Rachel Maddow's comments on the history of Televised debates when an incumbent is defending his office?
It was in that same junior high school voice she uses when she tries to make the right look stupid. Talking like the mean girl in the class saying all this stuff she does not prove while trying to make it look half funny, it is not informative nor entertaining.
MSNBC can't even figure out that they have more opinion hours then Fox and Fox is the bad news channel.
"Nobody with even a grade-school education would fall for Romney's shameless Etch-a-Sketch routine. A Good Cartoon".
Sorry chasches you will never rub warm body oil over Barrack or scratch Obama's eyes out.
Obama's problem was that he actually believed in the image of Romney that he is campaigning about all over the country. He believed that he was the personification of the strawman that he creates when he talks about "those who want to make our schools worse, and want to make our environment dirty, and give more billions of dollars to the rich." He actually thought that he could defeat Romney the same way he knocks down his strawmen when he's campaigning. He's delusional, and it's not going to get better for him, because he's got nothing. All he can do from now on is tell everyone what he says will happen if Romney is elected.
The messiah is behind the curtain watching BIG BIRD on PBS…
When you listen to one side long enough and believeeverything the media says, you will always think the other side lies. If you would do your own investigating away from the media and go to the actual stories you will find the truth. It is amazing how those who don't fact check on either side continue to spew the same falsehoods. Remember what Romney alluded to, "if you repeat a lie long enough some may begin to think it is true".
How about a listing of your old names, Ima ??
obama…ONE AND DAMN WELL DONE.

our two Key Innovators in healthcare:
These organizations are using the power of information and technology in bold new ways to save and improve lives.
Both winners will receive a $10,000 technology grant, a trip to HIMSS 2013 for two representatives, and a featured article on ClinicalKey's blog.
Sandra Kendall, Director of Library Services at Mount Sinai Hospital, has continuously demonstrated how the power of information can improve clinicians' work, thus improving patient care. The Evidence-Based Medicine Algorithm she created groups different databases into tiers, assisting practitioners in choosing the best evidence-based resources available. Sandra recently created a Library Value Study designed to show how the library has contributed to better medical education and clinical research, and to seek input in how the library can continue to contribute to better patient care by supporting clinical research in innovative ways.
Psychiatrists treating patients with mood disorders typically ask the patient to keep a record of their mood over time, but patients often forget to maintain the written record between office visits. Dr. Adam Kaplin, an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurology at Johns Hopkins University, is the inventor of Mood 24/7 (mood247.com), a web-based program that utilizes cell phones and texting technology that that sends automatic daily texts to a patient at a specified time, asking him or her to record their mood.

|My dear Mother
|London March 30 1796
The opportunities for writing occur so frequently at this time, and there is so little to say that I am apprehensive some of them will escape without carrying any letters to you; for one is ashamed to write a short letter, when it is to go so far, and like most correspondents I do not always remember that to write little is better than not to write at all.
I send you by the present opportunity Miss Williams's last Letters from France, and an Answer to Paine's theology by Bishop Watson. The first you have perhaps already seen, but as they concern the same subject with the other publications which I have lately sent to you and my father, you will perhaps be pleased to add them to the collection—The Bishop's "Apology for the Bible" has just been published and it is to be hoped will operate as oil upon Paine's arsenic.
The Newspapers contain but little intelligence. There is much talk of Peace, but I think very little prospect of it. The military campaign has not yet been opened but the most formidable apparatus for the work of destruction has been collected on both sides, and will probably soon be brought into action.
The scarcity of subsistence has much diminished in France and here. Grain and flour have fallen considerably in their prices. The present complaint is of a scarcity of money.
I have no letters from my father later than December 13. The last from you is of January 23. The vessels from Boston & Philadelphia are constantly arriving and I wait for further letters with all the Patience that my philosophy can command. I find my health much improved by the relaxation (not to call it by an hard name,) that I have had for the last two months. I hope therefore that the Time has not been wholly lost.—My intelligence from my brother at the Hague is not later than the last of February; he had suffered a severe attack from his old rheumatic complaint, but he says he had in a great measure recovered from it. I am afraid he must have had a hard time of it, deprived of all the alleviations to his pain which he had in former instances; alone, in a strange country; though not altogether without friends; for he will find them wherever he goes. His last Letter however is written in apparent good spirits: he was preparing to attend at the ceremony of opening the National Convention, which took place on the day after the date of his letter.
Please to remember me in duty and affection to my Grandmother and to all our friends at Quincy, Weymouth and Boston. I am very happy to hear that my cousin W. Cranch has a son, though I cannot help considering it as a sort of reflection upon me; for a good example always contains a censure upon a bad practice.—I begin to think very seriously of the duty incumbent upon all good citizens to have a family.—If you think this the language of a convert, perhaps you will enquire how he became so?—I am not yet prepared to answer that.
I remain your ever affectionate Son
John Q. Adams.

Mayhem #306115
The blog of my alter ego: Mr. Joatmon
Photography is both a business, and a fantastic creative outlet. I've had images published in books, papers as well as in The New York Times. I approach each shoot with a positive attitude as each shoot is an opportunity to fine tune my craft and grow as photographer and artist. I'm open to almost anything, so if you can bring something exciting, new and creative to the table then lets talk it over.
On lighting: I only shoot with available light.
I feel that diversification brings knowledge, wisdom and patience.
Firefighter, cook, maintenance engineer, tech support specialist, construction contractor and even more. Yep, I've been around the block and returned to one of my first and oldest loves - the love of photography that started back in the early 80's. If you embrace your past you can use it in whatever you do.
The knowledge of how things and people work.
The wisdom to know how to apply that knowledge ...
... and the patience to get it done right.
As a retouch artist, I have spent 1000's of hours honing my craft and skill set. I find one of my greatest rewards to be taking a photo that was good and making it great and something beyond expectation. Why settle for ordinary when you can have extraordinary?
My Photoshop-Fu is strong!
I do not pay for models but am often looking for people who fit in to a specific shoot or theme, so contact me and we can see if we can find that fit that works for both of us.
⢠⢠⢠ESCORTS: No boyfriends, no brothers, no fiances, no significant others - only a fully supportive female friend, not lover, who is there to assist you if needed. After all, I'm taking your picture not your virginity. ⢠⢠â¢
My motto ... of sorts?
⢠Don't be afraid to take artistic risks ... sometimes the results are fantastic and unexpected.
⢠Take your camera with you everywhere.
⢠Shoot your passions.
⢠Understand your subject.
⢠... and most importantly, have fun!
Thank you for your time ...

Once upon a time, the United States was fighting a war half way around the world from home. Actually, despite the content of your nightly newscast, the United States is still fighting a war half way around the world from home – just ask any of the 68,000 troops still in Afghanistan. Military families know that there's still a war going on, to say nothing of individual members of the armed forces. You may have a friend or friend-of-a-friend who has a family member either who is either fighting nor or was one of the many tours of duty in either Iraq or Afghanistan, now finally home. The evening news – well, most news in its entirety – has moved on from this reality onto much more pressing issues, like honeys that boo boo and new phone gadgetry.
After being a mainstay in political rallies and conventions – whether or not their ultimate value to the party platform was more negligible than a uniformed prop – the presidential election campaign this year has produced a rather remarkable occurrence: one of the top two contenders for the White House accepted his party's nomination with a speech that went on to not mention our fighting men and women even once. What is even more remarkable is that the nominee to notch this dubious acheivement was from the Republican party. Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, the Republican party standard-bearer, did not give so much as a wink or nod to the military – even a fake one for optics.
Far from being a slip-up from the Romney campaign, the diminished care for the military carried straight over to the U.S. Senate, where in a remarkable vote on September 19, a bill to provide for a jobs program for returning troops was killed with a procedural vote after winning 58 – 40. In not-wonky-politic speak, that means that the bill was defeated, despite having more than enough votes to pass. All forty Senators voting against the bill were Republicans, including a handful of Republicans who had authored the language of the bill.

Linen Sheer Drapes: Damn Good Window Dressing
Email from 5.6.08
I generally don't like Pottery Barn. Even though taking a tour through the store at Christmas Time HAS to be done, just for the over-the-top festive spirit that their retailing elves are so good at creating, I generally don't buy anything there. Why? For the simple reason that most of their stuff is cheaply made and often disappoints after you get it home.
That said, I like their curtains. I have bought curtains from PB for myself and clients for years, and I have sometimes cut the tags off so that no one would know...
For the price, the simplicity of style and the ease of purchase, I like them as an option, and my favorite style of late is their sheer linen curtain. I bought these in white for our new apartment (see pics) and love the way they filter - but do not block - the light. And I'm a sucker for linen. I find the rawness and openess of the weave sexy and natural. I think it livens up a room AND it's cheap (linen, that is)!
So these are my tips:
1. always cover your windows in some way to soften the frame
2. for "filtering," but no "blocking," go SHEER
3. always use natural fibers
4. let your curtains be TOO LONG
5. linen rocks (naturally)

My experience with Pottery Barn is much different than what you describe.
For example, my coffee table came from PB over 13 years ago.
The sheer curtains look good, except they're too long. They'd be in the way and get dirty and icky too fast in most homes with children and pets.
I love all things Maxwell, but I don't like the puddle. It just looks dusty to me. Maybe it's okay with the embroidered velvet zillion dollar draperies hung in Park Ave mansions with a staff vacuuming and dusting every 20 minutes -- but, no, even then I don't love the puddle.
I also like curtains hung much higher than this. And something with a little more weight to it too. AND on rings, not rod pocket.
We are not on the same curtain wave length!
(but what does it matter when your daughter is that cute?)
I'm not a fan of the puddle look either, but I do love that pink carpet. What a fantastic splash of color.
And regarding Pottery Barn, I don't have a problem with the general quality, but I do find their aesthetic to be cloying and dated. I'm never surprised (in a good way anyway).
When design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.
Somehow I just can't get into the idea of someplace called "Pottery Barn" being anything but suburban-generic. I admit I've never been to one, so maybe it's time I took a look.
I agree with patrick (too)--I think PB has decently durable furniture. Perhaps it's dependent on what you buy, but I've never had a problem. I bought my bedroom set (which I LOVE) from PB 5 years ago and it still looks and works great.
how have you never been into a pottery barn????
i find PB to fit into the same category of plenty of stores (from shoes to home furnishings)... where a lot of the stuff i've brought home has turned to crap in a week or a month and so on... but plenty of other things are very well made and add a special something... or at least serve their purpose with charm. that said, i don't frequent PB, but if i see something i like, i base my decision on the product, not the store.
which it sounds like Maxwell has done here :) I love the sheer look... and i'm glad i'm not the only one who hasn't "upgraded" to curtain rings! :-p
can somebody tell me what a puddle is?
the drapes. they 'puddle' on the floor under the window.
thank you cblls. never heard that before. then i have to agree, those curtains in the living room have too much puddle. i see dust bunnies and nyc black dirt collecting quickly.
i'm also wondering what happens in that living room when there are more than two or three guests. do you pull up the dining room chairs to sit on? it doesn't look like a room where several people can relax comfortably together.
maxwell is right about PB--we bought some of their overpriced and badly made furniture out of expediency. I don't want to inflict the hideous sofa fold-out bed on anyone but our worst enemies, so that one especially was a waste of money. AVOID.
What do you do when the sun turns your sheer linen drapes yellow? I've never been able to properly clean them.
How about if you want sun light just open your curtains. I like walking around in my birthday suit way too much to have sheers alone.
You really can't see anything through sheers, Sara. Believe me, my mother harped on the same issue in my own room (when I got rid of roller drapes underneath), until I made her stand outside with me one night, while my light was on and my brother was painting the room. You can't see anything at all!
Re: "which it sounds like Maxwell has done here :)"
Yeah, well if the intro hadn't been such a slam, I'd agree with you more.
i am not crazy about pottery barn furniture either, but i have linen drapes from pb also. mine are are not sheer and are hung with rings to just graze the floor. love the softness and texture of linen.
I've never bought anything from PB, mostly because I find it too expensive for the quality (the "wood" does look cheap, sorry) and with ebay and CL, it's easy to get a solid wood piece and often have it refinished or upholstered at a similar or lesser price, in my experience. That being said, I've been on their website recently and some of their outdoor tables and chairs look quite nice, but again too expensive for me. Back to CL...
I bought a floor lamp from PB over 10 years ago, and it's still in good shape.
I share the general concensus that their aesthetic is clutterd, cloying, and somewhat dated. However, some pieces seem decent.
I absolutely agree with Maxwell on the quality and selection of their curtains and fabrics in general. They also have fantastic towels -- soft and thick and durable. I think their fabrics and linens are better quality than Crate & Barrel.
BTW, love the bedside lights in Maxwell's bedroom.
There more than two categoreis of purchases at PB: "Drapes" and "Furniture". They have great lamps. Great vases. Great tableware. Great bedding. A great new selection of affordable artwork. And there are tiers of quality even among their own lines, same as Crate & Barrel and even (now) Ikea.
I think some people make up their mind about a vendor and then never change it, even if the vendor has improved quality over the years (which PB has), and/or has tried to stay current (not to be confused with "contemporary").
And no, I do not work for PB. And no, I do not espouse filling a home solely with their furniture. But to be so automatically dismissive of it is to walk away from, and miss out on, a great resource.
Not feeling the hung two low and puddle look either. JMO
Patrick - Sorry, I didn't intend to slam anyone... I just explained that I don't judge PB by it's cover, and if I see something I like there, I get it regardless of worrying about where it's from. And I did say that I find some of their stuff to be hit or miss... but I'd say so of almost anywhere... from big box shop to the smallest of South End selective Boutiques... I'm never going to love everything, and not all of it will always be well made. Really, I'm agreeing with you in my intro... I generally don't find PB to be poorly made or disappointing. Sorry if you took it as a slam, that wasn't my intention!
Thanks, closer... but I was talking about the intro to the post! :)
gotcha! :)
I've loved several things I've helped other folks select at Pottery Barn, including some really great storage box things for a really casual place in Queens; and some really nice curtains and some silk flowers, and a whole slew of things that are slipping my mind at the moment. Oh, and I selected my own gift that a friend got me which was one of their antique-looking phones.
The only fairly major disappointents were a suspension shelf thing that really probably wasn't made to handle such heavy books as we tried to store on it, and a bronze pharmacy lamp, whose "head" kept wanting to fall off repeatedly, but which has been staying on for a while now (knock wood).
I think that what DOES work about Pottery Barn, is that people who have a fairly average amount of money to spend can get stuff that generally looks pretty good together without having to necessarily be all that clever or arty, themselves. I really like looking around in there, even when I'm not in the market for anything.
Where is the rug from in the top living room pic? I love the color.

U.S., U.K. scientists draw up list of world's plants
Scientists hope the 300,000-species list will boost conservation of plants and help regulate trade and medicine.
Wed, Dec 29, 2010 at 09:59 AM
CATALOGED: People walk amongst trees shedding their leaves and changing to seasonal autumnal colors at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in London. U.S. and British scientists have drawn up a list of all the world's known land plants - a 300,000-species str
British and U.S. scientists say they've compiled the most comprehensive list of land plant species ever published — a 300,000-species strong compendium that they hope will boost conservation, trade and medicine.
The list, drawn up by researchers at Kew Gardens in London and the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis, is intended to help resolve one of botany's most basic problems: Figuring out which plants go by what name.
Some plants have been labeled differently by researchers operating in different countries over the past century, while in other cases the different variants of the same plant have been erroneously identified as belonging to different species. There are also cases in which plants names' have been applied mistakenly, or just misspelled.
Although a rose by any other name may still smell as sweet, scientists say that attaching different labels to the same plant can rob researchers of the chance to get the information they need.
"If you only know it by one of its many names you only get part of the story," said Eimear Nic Lughadha, the senior scientist at Kew responsible for the list.
It's a problem that frustrates everyone from agricultural regulators to pharmaceutical researchers.
"Imagine trying to find everything that's ever been published about a plant: Which chemicals are in it, whether it's poisonous or not, where is it found," said Alan Paton, one of Nic Lughadha's colleagues at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. "To find that information, you need to know all of the different scientific names that have been used for it."
The plant compendium aims to clear up that confusion by putting all the various names in one place — and sorting out which ones apply to which plant. To that end researchers in the U.S. and Britain have been scooping up existing databases — with names such as GrassBase and iPlants — and combining them with checklists from organizations such as the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families and The International Legume Database and Information Service.
Kew's final list carries more than 1 million scientific names, of which 300,000 are accepted names for plant species. Another 480,000 are additional names, or synonyms, for those species. The rest are unresolved — they could apply to a previously identified plant, or they could describe a different organism altogether.
Botanists are still working their way through the backlog of unassigned names.
"Finishing that list will be a long task," Nic Lughadha said. "And, of course, new species are being described all the time."

|Dig into the celebrated fourth season of The Jeffersons, one of the most beloved and critically acclaimed comedy series ever on TV. Watch all of your favorite characters get mixed up again in some of the wackiest situations, silliest gags, and most hilarious hijinx this side of Harlem: George and Louise Jefferson (Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford) laugh their way through a thrilling hostage ordeal, housekeeper Florence (Marla Gibbs) treats the Jeffersons to a rowdy visit from her parents, and son Lionel (Mike Evans) gets a little crazy with his plans for the family business. Created by television legend Norman Lear, The Jeffersons remains one of the most successful, influential, and long-lived (1975-1985) TV comedy series in history. This digitally remastered three-disc collector's set includes all 26 hilarious episodes from season four, now on DVD for the first time ever. So, don't be no jive turkey, and keep movin' on up with The Jeffersons!
Editor's NoteThe Jeffersons are "movin' on up" into the fourth season, which saw short-tempered dry-cleaning businessman George (Sherman Hemsley), and his sassy wife Louise "Wheezy" Jefferson (Isabel Sanford) continuing to adjust to life in their fancy new high-rise. The maid, Florence Johnston, has moved in to provide full-time service--and twice the laughs--while next-door neighbors Tom and Helen Willis, who were quite possibly TV's first interracial couple, add to the fun. In season four, Louise is kidnapped and held for ransom, George pursues some questionable methods of improving his business, and Harry spills his ant farm in the living room right before a visit from the landlord. The series, a spin-off of ALL IN THE FAMILY, maintained its popularity until its abrupt cancellation after 11 years.

I think the original price of a new set was around $80, just to give you a ballpark for what prices to expect. I just posted a query for any used NKK sets and got a response.

I adore cheesecake....with so many different toppings you can put on top, it makes it such a versatile dessert! Today we are making caramel cheesecake to take to a friend's Christmas party. Here's how to make a cheesecake that's so delicious and baked in a water bath. Since water evaporates at the boiling point, the water bath will never get hotter than 212 degrees F , no matter what the oven temperature. This means that the outer edge of your cheesecake won't bake faster than the center, which can cause it to soufflé, sink, and crack.
Start by preheating your oven to 475 degrees. Place a large pan or oven safe skillet (that the cheesecake pan will fit into) that's filled with about 1/2 inch of water into the oven while it preheats. This will be your water bath!
Next combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon into a bowl.
Here's a great way to crush those graham crackers! A good old fashioned rolling pin!
Melt a stick of butter and pour into crumbs, mix well.
MMMM! Butter and graham crackers! That's so yummy! Press the crumbs into a springform pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Just use a pencil and trace around the bottom of the pan for your pattern. Then long strips to go along the sides of the pan. This will make sure your cheesecake doesn't stick and will look beautiful!
here's the strips of parchment paper that go around the edge...it's a little tricky getting them to stay put, but you can do it!! I just know it!
Use the bottom of a drinking glass to press the crumb mixture flat into the bottom of the pan and about 2/3 the way up the side. By the way, that's my husband Henry's hand. He is an aspiring hand model.
Wrap a large piece of foil around the bottom of the pan to keep the cheesecake dry when placed in the water bath in the oven. Put the crust in your freezer until the filling is done. Now for the filling! Use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese with the sugar and sour cream. Blend mixture for a couple minutes or until the ingredients are smooth and creamy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Next, whisk the eggs and vanilla in a small bowl and add them to the cream cheese mixture.
Blend the mixture just enough to integrate the eggs.
now, grab your crust from the freezer, and pour the filling into it. Oh this is going to be so good!!!!
Mr. Cheesecake is ready for his hot steaming bath now! Carefully place the cheesecake into the preheated water bath. Bake for 12 minutes at 475 degrees, then turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the top of the cheesecake turns a light brown or tan color.
When the cheesecake has cooled, combine 1 can of evaporated milk and 14 oz. of caramels in a double broiler. (You might want to enlist the help of your kids or grandkids, or hey make your husband or significant other help peel the wrappers off the caramels!) It takes forever if you do it alone! Cook over medium heat until caramels have melted.
THEY'RE MEEEEEELLLLTING!!!!!!!!!!! (reminds me of the witch from Wizard of Oz!)
After the caramels melt, pour over cooled cheesecake!
I love the taste of the caramel sauce and how it drips down the sides of the cheesecake!!!
Pure Ecstasy, darling!!
Here's the recipe:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 t. cinnamon
1 stick melted butter
4 8oz packages of cream cheese
1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 t. vanilla extract
5 eggs
Caramel sauce
1 12oz. can evaporated milk
14 oz. caramels
follow the instructions above!! I hope you enjoy making it AND eating it as much as we do!
Merry Christmas!!!!

amg review
Nassau, the Sea and Cake's sophomore album, is even more ambitious and eclectic than its predecessor: Opening with the bracing "Nature Boy" and the group's most kinetically charged effort to date, the record quickly shifts gears to grow dark and subdued. The two instrumentals, "Earth Star" and the enigmatically titled "A Man Who Never Sees a Pretty Girl That He Doesn't Love Her a Little," spotlight the group's burgeoning jazz inclinations, while "The Cantina" is an abstract pop curveball; Sam Prekop's melodic gifts continue to blossom on the loping "Lamonts Lament" and the melancholy "Parasol," and the increased involvement of drummer/producer John McEntire pushes the group into new rhythmic and textural territory. Another winner. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
