Last year, Gerard Way, front man for Belleville-bred band My Chemical Romance, predicted that their next album would be a back-to-basics record: no big concept, no crazy costumes, no make-up. In an interview with NME magazine, Way said, "I think (the next album) will definitely be stripped down. I think the band misses being a rock band."
Last month, My Chem released its latest album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys. If you couldn't tell by its title, Danger Days, an outrageous rock record epic set in a futuristic post-apocalypse California, is anything but stripped down. So what happened in the interim?
Initially, the band hit the recording studio with the purest of intentions – a return to their punk roots, creating something raw, edgy and minimally produced. But straining under the pressure of too many self-imposed restrictions, the band felt the music was dead. They recorded an entire album before bravely deciding to scrap the project.
It wasn't until they regrouped at the home studio of Rob Cavallo, the producer of their previous album, The Black Parade, that they began to find the life in their music again. It all started with the amusingly titled single, "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)", an explosive anthem about art as a weapon, which refueled the band's energy and propelled them to complete Danger Days.
The new album is a huge departure from The Black Parade, a rock opera on the cheery subject of death and cancer. At each performance, My Chem donned black uniforms and Gerard portrayed the sickly "Patient". After two years of touring the morbid show, they were exhausted. As rhythm guitarist Frank Iero explained in an interview, "The one thing we kept saying is: we've got to bring the color back."
And that's just what they did. Danger Days is so colorfully exuberant, you might well mistake it for a Cirque du Soleil performer, if it weren't for the modicum of angst thrown in for good measure. Conceptually, the storyline follows the adventures of The Fabulous Killjoys (AKA My Chem) as they battle the bloodthirsty draculoids of Better Living Industries and their evil leader, Korse. The highly imaginative premise has the odd logic of a dream and is accompanied by pirate radio DJ, Dr. Death Defying, whose poetry is so confounding and odd it's as if he's speaking a foreign language in English.
The album is musically eclectic, featuring the pop-infused "Bulletproof Heart" alongside dance mix "Planetary (GO)". Perhaps their most poignant song, "The Kids of Yesterday", deals with the band's maturation. The sense of lost youth is captured in lyrics like "When we were young we used to say/ That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break/ Now we are the kids from yesterday." The band members are acknowledging their adulthood, fittingly, as most of them have recently gotten married and/or made babies.
Danger Days is reminiscent of Green Day's rock musical American Idiot, especially when they play the national anthem, and also incorporate Muse-like theatrics – two bands they have toured with in the past. But of course, My Chemical Romance brings something all their very own to the table too.
They kick off "The World Contamination Tour" April 2011 in Portland, OR.

American Idol has certainly created not just fans around the globe, but because of its success, more and more contests of the same concept are also popping up. You have the Voice. You also have the British Idol, and should you have cable, you would even see shows like Pinoy Idol and even Japan Idol. Simply put, all these big networks are making and creating opportunities for musicians and music artists like yourself. In the past, it certainly is quite difficult getting in. In fact, even getting these big recording companies to just listen to a sample of your work is already quite complicated. If you check out european music contest, you would find that joining may sound easy, but in reality, you are not alone. Expect to have a stiff competition, whether you are hoping to join hip hop music contests, or even into country music contest, joining any contest is not easy.
It is probably a good idea to continue reading this article to see which steps you may have to pursue to get in and at least, be included in those that have been tried and tested. First of all, it is not enough that you have a good entry. Rest assured that everyone else has the same thought in mind. To make sure that you have what it takes to be considered, you need to have an entry that would give these judges an idea of what you are not only capable of doing but that you have the 'X Factor'. Being tall and attractive is not the only features that make a model. She needs to have that X Factor that would make heads turn and stare. Make sure you create this phenomenon with the music video that you would be presenting.

JG Ballard spares no detail of the human fascination with sex, violence, and death in his novel Crash. Navigating the crowded technological highway of civilization, Ballard graphically implores the emphasis of technology and it's replacing of human interaction. Desperate for emotional and physical connections, Ballard's characters neurotically obsess over the pain and scars that car collisions leave on their flesh, as well as the sexual symmetry of the event itself.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Planning for Georgia Council for the Arts
With new leadership and a new place in the state government structure, the Georgia Council for the Arts will launch a strategic planning process with a event led by Gov. Nathan Deal on Oct. 31. The 1:30 p.m. public session at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia in Buckhead is the first in a series of statewide community forums beginning the development of a five-year plan for the GCA, which moved under the umbrella of Georgia's Department of Economic Development earlier this year. 75 Bennett St., Atlanta.
"The governor not only understands and champions the value of arts education and the role of the arts in tourism, business development and community development but also recognizes the industry's contribution to Georgia's economy," GCA Director, Karen L. Paty said. "His presence and participation at the kick-off underscores the state's commitment to the creative industries." http://gca.georgia.gov. HOWARD POUSNER
A 'Wicked' box office record
"Wicked" broke the North American record for the highest-grossing week of a touring Broadway show with a box office total of $2,438,947 at the Fox Theatre for the week ending Oct. 9.
The previous record of $2,400,489 was also held by a week of "Wicked" performances in St. Louis in 2010. On its third visit to Atlanta, "Wicked" played the Fox from Sept. 14 to Oct. 9.
"Not only is 'Wicked' the highest grossing theatrical production that Broadway in Atlanta has presented, but it also continues to break its own sales records which speaks to the phenomenon of the show" Russ Belin, vice president of Fifth Third Bank Broadway in Atlanta, said in a statement. "Audiences embraced 'Wicked' with as much enthusiasm during this engagement … as during its first stop in the city in 2006."
Next in the Broadway Across America series is "Mamma Mia!" Nov. 2-6 at the Fox. www.foxtheatre.org. HOWARD POUSNER

Summer is around the corner and that means lots of fun in the sun, chilling by the pool while you drink lots of cold beverages. This also translates to increased chances of accidentally getting your phone wet and damaging it. Don't let a ruined phone or MP3 player mess up your summer plans by having a pair of Stash Incorporated Stash Shorts at your disposable. These unique shorts are currently a Kickstarter campaign and are supposed to keep your cell phone and other valuables high and dry.
The shorts features a patented waterproof pocket that incorporates into clothing and gear, such as swimwear, life vests, waders, backpacks and jackets. The special Stash Pocket is attached into the interior of the shorts via their lock-down fitment and its securely sewn into the material, too. And to prevent any unwanted chaffing, they've also added a soft layer of fabric around the bag on the interior of the pant leg.
And to prevent you from losing the cap, there's a durable lanyard string attached to the cap to the underside of the fitment rings. Everything is kept to be as lightweight as possible so that you on't get that bulky look or feel. If you pledge $69 or more, you can get a pair of Stash Shorts in Khaki or Olive.

Make paper scraps sparkle with our easy star folding technique. When you have a handful, construct one of these no-cut boxes to contain your heavenly bounty (the boxes are great for gifts too).
For the Boxes Start with a facedown square or rectangular piece of card stock or scrapbook paper. With a plastic knife, score four lines that are equidistant from the edges of the paper, as shown (A). Score four diagonal lines at the corners, as shown (B).
Fold up the sides of the box along the four straight lines, pushing in each corner along its diagonal score line. Punch a hole through each corner flap and the sides of the box, then use paper fasteners to secure these flaps to the box.
For each Star Tie a knot at one end of a 1/2-by 11-inch strip of copy paper or other lightweight paper.
Flatten the know into a pentagonal shape, then trim any excess paper from the short end of the strip.
Tightly fold the remaining length of paper around the knot.
Secure the end by tucking it under a previous fold.
Using your thumb and index finger, gently pinch each point of the star to give it dimension.

Should we begin teaching children letter sounds first with lowercase letters instead of letter names with uppercase letters?
What do you see more of when you open a book, capital letters or lowercase letters?
What is more important for reading, letter sounds or letter names?
Shouldn't we teach children the more germane information pertaining to the letter first, its sound, as Montessori schools do? Aa is for apple and it says /a/ is too much information for a child to take in, process and then apply to a complex language code. Why don't we start with lowercase letters and sounds, saving letter names for once a child can read a three-letter consonant-vowel-consonant word?

May 13 2013: I started this conversation to see if anyone can help me understand why preschoolers and kindergartners are taught the ABC's first with letter names.
-Everything I read points me to the conclusion letter sounds should be taught first with lowercase letters.
-Logical reasoning brings be to the conclusion letter sounds should be taught first with lowercase letters.
-Every child I work with leads me to the conclusion letter sounds should be (or should have been) taught first with lowercase letters.
"…what can psychology and neuroscience recommend to teachers and parents who wish to optimize reading instruction? …we know that conversion of letters into sounds is the key stage in reading acquisition. All teaching efforts should be initially focused on a single goal, the grasp of the alphabetic principle whereby each letter or grapheme represents a phoneme." p. 228 Reading in the Brain: The New Science of How We Read by Stanislas Dehaene (Don't let the name alphabetic principle fool you. It is all about the sound-symbol relationship. It has nothing to do with letter names.)
Stay tuned, world. Brenda Erickson is a long-time Montessori practitioner who developed Souns®, a literacy outreach program of Counterpane Montessori, a 501c3. I am a traditionally trained educator and consider myself her apprentice. Together, we are on a mission to see to it children read!

The Enterprise Ready iPhonePosted: April 9th, 2010 | Author: Andrew Gleave | Filed under: iphone, mobile, mobile app | No Comments »
Yesterday Apple announced the fourth release of the iPhone OS. There are a lot of changes to the platform but some of the less-discussed improvements are ones which bring 'enterprise-ready' features to the iPhone. These features really open up the potential for using iPhone and iPad devices securely in a business context.
With iPhone OS 4, iPhone and iPad now support:
- SSL VPN Support
- Multiple MS Exchange Accounts
- Mobile Device Management – Remotely configure, update and wipe devices
- Data Encryption
- In-House App Distribution – Distribute and update your enterprise apps to company devices wirelessly
All of these are important features for most medium and large businesses, but being able to remotely update and sync your company iPhones and iPads is a real clincher. The ability for an enterprise to write and deploy its own apps (not distributed with the App Store) to staff devices wirelessly over WiFi or 3G, is the only reliable way of making sure all your devices are up to date: waiting for users to sync with iTunes mean it could takes weeks for all devices to get an update.
Add the ability to encrypt user data, access your network securely though a VPN and remotely manage and wipe devices, and you've got a pretty good case for building mobile apps which help you to do business, and that don't give the Sys Admins a security and management headache.
I've only had a cursory look over the new SDK but the thing which stands out is that it really feels like a mature platform: there aren't as many missing or restricted APIs and many of them have been massively expanded. This release will give rise to a whole host of apps just not possible before.
I can't wait to take a closer look at the SDK in the next couple of days!

Beyonce Yells At Fan Mid-Concert: "Put That Damn Camera Down"
- Entertainment
Beyonce wants her fans to live in the moment. Or at least, to stop taping her with their damn phones. The notoriously controlling star paused at a show to yell at a front row fan who was recording the show.
She was leading a sing along to her song "Irreplaceable" (the one that goes "To the left, to the left") when someone got scolded:
"See, you can't even sing because you're too busy taping! I'm right in your face baby. You gotta seize this moment baby! Put that damn camera down!"
Beyonce was performing in Atlanta, a stop on her Mrs. Carter worldwide tour.

I called that the egg of disappointment, well actually I heard a guildie call it that and I liked it therefore it became a running joke. I had the green proto on my, now "JC spec, working out of her shop in Org" Paladin, after just 3 eggs.. I wanted it for my priest, my main, the one I've been achievement-whoring since she's capable of doing far more things than any toon that came before her. I forget how long I kept going out to buy an egg, even with the 3 day timer, and selling tickbird after tickbird, cobras and proto-pets.. I finally got the drake last week. And its soo weird to not go visit the Oracles for an egg of disappointment.

House Republicans on Thursday used a procedural motion to block a vote on whether to add an exception for incest to an abortion coverage ban in its criminal justice appropriations bill.
Spending time at the Bogotá women's clinic helped to reinforce how important it is for women to have access to safe and friendly reproductive care, including abortion services. I saw first-hand how this saves lives.
A senate bill could target doctors for anti-choice protests, while a house bill would ban private insurance coverage of abortion.
Beginning November 1, most teens who seek abortion in Oklahoma will not be able to do so without notifying a parent.
Any law that allows abortion only in certain cases also helps create two classes of women: those who "deserve" abortions, and those who do not. This is a complete fallacy; all women deserve access to safe abortion care, along with the entire range of reproductive health care.
Amendment 6 is an attack on reproductive rights. It would change the Florida Constitution to outlaw public funding for abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or where the life of the mother is affected.
The attempts to pass the restriction has failed the legislature, but now the lawmakers are attempting an emergency petition.
Silencing the voices of victims and restricting our access to abortion are both ways of maintaining a status quo in which our bodies are not our own.
FDA may allow generic form of preterm labor drug despite exclusivity agreement, Rick Santorum blames abortion for Social Security problems, and Iowa wants to ban Medicaid funding for abortions in cases of rape and incest – even though they don't pay for any.
Texas House passes mandatory ultrasound bill without a rape or incest exception, 40 Days of Harassment starts tomorrow, Minnesota introduces fetal pain bill, and will internet-procured medication be the new back alley abortion?

Education Profiteering: Wall Street's Next Big Thing?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Editor's note: Jeff Faux's new book is The Servant Economy: Where America's Elite is Sending the Middle Class (Wiley, 2012).
The end of the Chicago teachers' strike was but a temporary regional truce in the civil war that plagues the nation's public schools. There is no end in sight, in part because -- as often happens in wartime -- the conflict is increasingly being driven by profiteers.
The familiar media narrative tells us that this is a fight over how to improve our schools. On the one side are the self-styled reformers, who argue that the central problem with American K-12 education is low-quality teachers protected by their unions. Their solution is privatization, with its most common form being the privately run but publicly financed charter school. Because charter schools are mostly unregulated, nonunion and compete for students, their promoters claim they will, ipso facto, perform better than public schools.
On the other side are teachers and their unions who are cast as villains. The conventional plot line is that they resist change, blame poverty for their schools' failings and protect their jobs and turf.
It is well known, although rarely acknowledged in the press, that the reform movement has been financed and led by the corporate class. For over twenty years large business oriented foundations, such as Gates (Microsoft), Walton (Wal-Mart) and Broad (Sun Life) have poured billions into charter school start-ups, sympathetic academics and pundits, media campaigns (including Hollywood movies) and sophisticated nurturing of the careers of privatization promoters who now dominate the education policy debate from local school boards to the US Department of Education.
In recent years, hedge fund operators, leverage-buy-out artists and investment bankers have joined the crusade. They finance schools, sit on the boards of their associations and the management companies that run them, and -- most important -- have made support of charter schools one of the criteria for campaign giving in the post-Citizens United era. Since most Republicans are already on board for privatization, the political pressure has been mostly directed at Democrats.
Thus, for example, when Andrew Cuomo wanted to get the support of hedge fund managers for his run for governor of New York, he was told to talk to Joe Williams, director of Democrats for Education Reform, a group set up to lobby liberals on privatization. Cuomo is now a champion of charter schools. As Joanne Barkan noted in a Dissent Magazine report, privatizers are even targeting school board elections, in one case spending over $630,000 to elect two members in a local school board race last year in Colorado.
Wall Street's involvement in the charter school movement -- when the media acknowledges it -- is presented as an act of philanthropy. Perhaps, as critics claim, hedge funders are meddling in an area they know nothing about. But their motives are worthy. Indeed, since they send their own children to the best private schools, their concern for other people's children seems remarkably altruistic. "Wall Street has always put its money where its interests of beliefs lie," observed this New York Times article, "But it is far less common that so many financial heavyweights would adopt a social cause like charter schools and advance it with a laser like focus in the political realm."
Yet, with the wide variety of social causes and charitable needs -- poverty, health, housing, global warming, the arts, etc. -- why would so many Wall Streeters focus laser-like on this particular issue? The Times suggest two answers. One is that the money managers are hard-nosed, data-driven investors "drawn to the business-like way in which many charter schools are run; their focus on results primarily measured by test scores."

By Todd Cunningham
LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - A woman who worked a summer as an unpaid intern has filed a class-action lawsuit against Sony Corporation of America, Sony Music Holdings and Columbia Recording Corp. over wages she says she should have been paid.
The lawsuit was filed in state Supreme Court in New York on Tuesday, and is similar to ones filed by unpaid interns against other entertainment and media companies.
Britt'ni Fields says she worked as an unpaid intern from May 2008 to August 2008 but should have been paid under state labor law.
Unpaid interns across the country this summer have filed suits against prominent media companies such as Fox Searchlight, Conde Nast and Warner Music Group.

Colleen's Sunny DC Studio
House Tour
Name: Colleen Kelly
Location: Capitol Hill, Washington DC
Size: 400 square feet
Years lived in: 1 year; renting
One quick glance at Colleen's stylish studio in Capitol Hill and you'll rethink the possibilities of a small space. The amazing thing is that in this hyper visual culture where photos are ubiquitous and often crucial to selling/buying a place, Colleen picked this studio almost entirely sight unseen. She answered a brief Craigslist ad that didn't include photos but did mention those magical words, "French doors," and the rest is history.
Enter House Tour
Enter House Tour
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: My style is eclectic and evolving. I find inspiration everywhere (for example, Google-imaging phrases like 'Cool Studio Apartment'), but having my own space is my main source — I grew up with five siblings and shared a room for 18 years. A place that is all mine is something I consider a luxury, and it motivates me to make it a reflection of me, a place where I love to be and where others love to come.
Favorite element: The balcony and French doors! It reminds me of a Parisian apartment, and I love sitting out there with a glass of wine or my coffee in the morning.
Biggest Challenge: It goes without saying that living in a small space comes with some challenges! I love to cook and have people over for dinner and drinks, and it was really important to me to have a space where people could relax. The furniture in this studio has probably been rearranged 20 different times before I got it to feel right.
What Friends Say: "It's so you!" or "Where can I plug in my hair dryer?" (See 'Biggest Embarrassment.')
Biggest Embarrassment: The bathroom has no outlets! Luckily, my beauty routine is pretty minimal (nonexistent?) so this is really only a problem for my Panasonic toothbrush that loses power at inconvenient times (say, when I've just finished a glass of Shiraz and am running late to meet someone).
Proudest DIY: Does putting together the IKEA DACKE kitchen island count? It was a lucky Craigslist find and even if it counted as DIY, it technically doesn't qualify in my case because it wouldn't have made it up the three flights of stairs to my apartment without the help of an extremely kind DC Yellow Cab driver and his Toyota Sienna. I put it together with hope, ambition and (a lot) of blood, sweat and tears. And I actually mean blood.
Biggest Indulgence: Probably the calfskin rug. And the loveseat – I bought it secondhand from an interior designer and probably paid more than most would for a used couch, but it was so classic and the perfect size for my space!
Best advice: Don't be afraid to make holes in the walls. This wasn't actually advice, but knowledge gleaned from years of observing my father's paralyzing fear of messing up the drywall. As a result, he has an amazing, dusty collection of photographs and art leaning against the wall in his office.
Also, I was once told not to be snobby about my sources – that style can't be bought and you can find it anywhere. This was fashion advice from a friend, but it also inspired my apartment décor philosophy.
Finally, my mom told me not to invest in expensive furniture until I own a place. She meant so that I wouldn't ruin it by U-Hauling it across the country, but its most valuable application is that it makes you free to change your mind, experiment, and play with your space, which ultimately ends up refining your style.
Dream Source(s): Flea markets in Saint-Ouen and furniture showrooms in High Point, NC.

Interesting to put a hanging pot rack beneath the table.
Lovely, my dear, but where are the kitchen pictures??
And, Apartment Therapy, the people who share their amazingly creative homes can surely draw a simple floor plan - Please please make a floorplan a part of every tour!
Just wondering....
Colleen mentions a fiance in the sources list....is this a part-time residence? The perspective of a small space changes a bit if it turns out that most of their stuff is stored at a second home.
I, too, would love to see some kitchen photos!
Ahhh what it is to live in DC. X) Do we all live in tiny third floor walkups? Someone owns all those townhomes I know, but I can't imagine who affords them.
I was wondering about the lack of kitchen photos too! A little on the messy side? Or maybe she lives in a group home. Those aren't as super common in the Capitol Hill area as they are in say Mount Pleasant/Columbia Heights, but they happen.
Maybe they don't live together.
I love the metal mesh coat rack/cubbie wall storage in the 'front hall'. Could you let me know where you got it, or where to get something similar?
Have to agree with justjude, I'd love to see the kitchen and a floor plan in the house tours please!
I'm glad to see an old-school AT tour with someone in my 'hood!
This is really cute! I love the blue wall and the low hooks next to your bed. Got some ideas from this tour for sure, thanks for sharing!
Nice home, lots of light, but 2 things I dislike are fake LV bag and antlers.
Fiance? Oh well...
Yes, floor plans!!! Please! I'm sure it's not the submitter's fault for not supplying one, so it must be . . .
My apartment is of a very similar layout and size to this one and it was lovely to see how other use the space. I really love the french doors opening onto such a bright space, it brings a really lovely feel to the room.
In my apartment I've slowly learned a few tips for decorating in small spaces that you can read here - http://emeraldandmay.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/six-tips-for-studio-spaces.html
I'm interested in her bed. I wish the pictures showed a bit more about it. Is it a storage bed? If so, where did she get it? It looks like a storage bed...
It's cute. I am fascinate by the plant stands turned into night tables (and the teeny tiny night stand on the other side of the bed) - I keep PILES of books on mine and no matter how big it is there is never enough space.
I love the light fixture between the loveseat and the bed - there was a similar one featured in an AT tour recently, more Chinoserie style, and the gal mentioned she got it on eBay - I spent hours searching eBay trying to find something similar (and failed, of course).
Hey Colleen, enjoy the loveseat and the fact that it is such a perfect fit for your space , and forget that it was pricy.
I, too, wish the kitchen was shown!!!
Your painting nook is really cool.
okay ! okay!1 I'm so excited- this place really energized me! This place feel so darn REAL!! I could actually see myself in this space! I don't typically make suggestions, but if it was my space I would really want to see a privacy screen - between the couch and bed-just at the head area-even if it was a fabric one with a beautiful print that would still let the light in. Secondly - this isn't a recommendation-I Love the idea of the closet/book case/desk. I live in a smaller apartment with my husband, step son and bulldog. my office and creative space-although in a separate space are still open to living and dining area. I would love your work area that looks lie you could just pack it in for the day! thanks for sharing!
Jaclyn, the palms that are prominently displayed in the first image strongly indicate that the fiance maintains his own residence.
I really like the use of art groupings to define spaces.
So many photos of a LV, randomly left on the chair....really sad...
I love, love, love the blue picture - is it of cherry blossom? - above the bed. Where can I get one?!
Ah, google reveals its a van gogh print.:-) I sorta feel I should have known that...
Hi! The rack was a lucky Goodwill find but I've seen similar ones at Pier 1 and at Homegoods.
Thanks so much for your comments! I love the idea of a privacy screen or a sheer canopy - never thought of that!
I do, in fact, have a kitchen! It's a small galley kitchen and I actually wrote a post about it on my blog awhile ago - you can see pictures here: http://thestyleheist.blogspot.com/2013/03/solutions-for-small-kitchen.html
It's challenging for me because I love to cook and bake and have supplies to fill a big cooks kitchen but have to fit it into a few cabinets. I have kitchen scales, cooling racks, rolling pins and cookbooks as part of the landscape.
I noticed that as well. I have to wonder WHY..
So fun to see my old apartment on here! Colleen, you've done a great job with the space – and I see you've kept the paint color the same, and still have my desk! Looks great!

Global Goods Partners' educational mission is to raise awareness of the economic, social, and political challenges that face the global artisans with whom we work. This part of our website offers you the chance to dive deeper into the topics that relate to expanding economic opportunities for women in low-income communities around the world.
A Definition
Fair trade is both a market-based approach and a social movement committed to improving conditions for the working poor around the world and promoting responsible stewardship of the environment throughout the production process.
In Practice
Fair trade has gained greater prominence in the U.S. for commodities like coffee, chocolate, and tea. For these goods, fair trade focuses on eliminating middlemen in order to guarantee a price floor for producers in the marginalized communities and in allocating subsidies for community development.
The fair trade crafts market is growing steadily yet remains smaller than the market for commodities. This is because uniform fair trade standards are not feasible as the production process for crafts can vary significantly. Fair trade products–including GGP products–are characterized by being produced by artisan groups that offer fair wages, are committed to fostering open and democratic workplaces, and respect the environment and health of their communities.
Our Commitment
Global Goods Partners has long-standing, established relationships with its community-based partners. We personally vet each organization to ensure that artisans receive a fair living wage and work in safe conditions. Our partners offer not only sustainable jobs and income, but they also provide services ranging from health, education, human rights, and vocational training programs to improve the long-term prospects of the women with whom they work. For us, fair trade is about empowering woman artisans and their families to determine their own futures and make a positive impact in their communities.
Purchase Fair Trade Products to support artisans around the globe.

This recipe is really easy and quite tasty, too. I often overcook pork in a pan, but not with this one ... no problem getting juicy chops.

I am not the most experienced cook, but I thought this dish was a little bland! The thyme gives some kick, but the 0 taste of fish and dryness of potatoes definitely stood out.
Roasted Cod and Potatoes with Thyme
- 1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes (about 3), cut lengthwise into 8 wedges, wedges cut crosswise in half
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 15 thyme sprigs plus 2 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme, or 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 1/2 pounds cod fillets or steaks, about 1 inch thick
- 1. Heat the oven to 450°. In a large roasting pan, toss the potatoes with 3 tablespoons of the oil, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Scatter the thyme sprigs or 1 1/2 teaspoons of the dried thyme on top. Roast the potatoes for 10 minutes. Stir and continue cooking for 10 minutes longer.
- 2. Meanwhile, coat the fish with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 1/2 teaspoons of the chopped fresh thyme on the fish.
- 3. Remove the pan from the oven. Stir the potatoes and push them to one side of the pan. Put the fish on the other side of the pan and return the pan to the oven. Roast the fish and potatoes until just done, about 10 minutes longer.
- 4. Remove the fish. Toss the potatoes with the remaining 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme, if using. Serve the fish with the potatoes alongside.
- Variations: You can use other firm white fish fillets, such as scrod, halibut, or haddock, in place of the cod in this recipe.
- Wine Recommendation: These earthy flavors beg for a vibrant white wine to provide contrast. Any white based on the sauvignon blanc grape--especially an unoaked type, such as a French Sancerre or Pouilly-Fumé, a sauvignon from northeast Italy, or a New Zealand sauvignon blanc--will be terrific.

The IECE and the Office of International Education/Study Abroad Program have developed a new Service-Learning Abroad Program which integrates Study Abroad and service to local communities (Service Learning). This is an exciting addition to Study Abroad Programs which addresses the ever increasing desire of CU students to combine study abroad and community engagement.
Service-learning incorporates community work into the curriculum, giving students real-world learning experiences that enhance their academic learning while providing a tangible benefit for the community. Service learning is a type of civic engagement which offers students coursework that engages students in activities that address human needs. It weaves course content and service together so that each complements the other, involves reciprocity with the community (both the community and student/university are equal partners) and each gains from the other and reflection – having significant opportunities to reflect on one's service and experiences and engage theory and knowledge reflexively with experience.
For a description of program options go to http://studyabroad.colorado.edu/ and click on Service Learning Guide. For more information, contact the Study Abroad Office, 303-492-7741, firstname.lastname@example.com.

Do you go out of your way to shelter your kids?
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 03-21-2013 - 6:50pm
Last night, dd14 sat next to me at the kitchen table while I scrolled through some news. We watched a video about a gay rights activist who purchased a home across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church and painted it in a gay pride rainbow. (Story here.) Dd and I snickered about the story, talked about how awesome the activist was, and dsd18, who was sitting across the table from us, asked what we were talking about.
My dsd had never heard of the Westboro Baptist Church. Never. I brought up the funeral picketing, the long chains of people who protected the mourning families from them--nothing. Never heard of a bit of it. She seemed surprised that her younger sister had.
Do you go out of your way to shield your children from the realities of the world? Current events? Social issues? Politics?
I understand sanitizing things for young children, but not completely blocking the world out. For those of you who do shield your children from the uglier parts of the world, is there a point where your role of parenting shifts from protector to informer? Surely few people would have an aim to keep a child as sheltered as my dsd. But I know some parents do attempt to keep their child as innocent as possible, and while I do respect that, is there a limit?
I realize there's no real magic age. It's not like you'd just sit your child down upon his tenth birthday and say, "William, now that you're older, we have something to tell you: the Easter Bunny isn't real, your aunt Thelma is gay, and also there are war lords in Africa who chop limbs off to terrorize small villages. Happy Birthday!" But there must be some kind of transition, even if unconscious.
My dsd is going through a bit of culture shock in our home. My dh and I are on the extreme opposite end of shielding. We sanitized when the kids were young, but never shielded and neither of us believes in censorship.

I don't go out of my way to shelter my kids but I don't go out of my way to expose them to everything either, I don't read a lot of news but we watch morning tv together and they do ask about some headline things. My kids are more likely to hear something at school, bring it home and want to talk about it than be surprised by what we listen to/watch/read at home and that creates some pretty cool conversation.

There were things I went out of my way to shelter my kids from. They we little when the 9-11 attacks occurred and we made sure they didn't see a lot of footage. We didn't listen to the nightly news when they were around. They learned about a lot of the world's evil in church settings, when we could say, yes, there are hungry people, yes earthquakes and hurricanes happen, yes, there is this think called human trafficking -- and here's what we are doing to try to help. They were upset by dead kittens in the side of the road, a childhood friend who became paralyzed after a fall from a horse, a friends' parents' ugly divorce. We could not, and did not try, to shelter them from such things.
This. I have the complication of a five and a half year age gap, which means DS is ready for some things his sister isn't. The night of Sandy Hook, he was staying at friend's house. The friend's mother's cousin was killed at Sandy Hook. So I told DS what had happened. I would have told him anyway, I don't shield him from much. He's precocious. He's that kid who is playing in another room and knows exactly what adult conversation took place two rooms over. He doesn't miss anything. So, I learned early on how to deal. I do shield DD. Nothing good could come from telling a five year old about Sandy Hook. So I didn't. I figure when the kids are old enough to register WHAT is being said on the news, that's when you start explaining.

"We sanitized when the kids were young, but never shielded and neither of us believes in censorship. " ----------------- I think this pretty much sums it up for us.
This. We don't *shield* them from anything. But we set age appropriate limits (no R movies for a 5yo, etc).
|Thu, 03-21-2013 - 11:04pm
To expand a bit further ... we've alwasy been very open about homosexuality in our home. We have family members and close fmaily friends that are gay, so we've talked about that since the children were very young. My parents were (are) hippies, so we've been open about that type of lifestyle. Dh and I (and xh and his wife) drink openly and have always been open about alcohol use/abuse with the kids. Xh was peripherally involved in 9/11, so that's an even we didn't shelter the kids from at all - it had a potential direct effect on us. We talk openly about bills and money and income, etc. We've talked factually about sex since they were little rather than waiting to have "the talk" when they were older. etc, etc.
|Thu, 03-21-2013 - 11:40pm
The only time we consciencely sheltered our children was during the first Gulf War. Our kids were 7, 5 and a toddler. We were living in Turkey. The only American channel we got on our TV was CNN, We did not have the TV on at all when the kids were awake and did not talk about the war in front on them.
|Fri, 03-22-2013 - 4:29am
Good question. I think we were like you, as in "sanitizing" certain things, but trying to explain most things honestly. Euphemizing things or outright avoiding unpleasant things never made sense to me, since the kids have to find out sometime, if they are to function in the world. I would rather be the one to teach them than leave it up to chance. I also consider it my parental responsibility to teach them about the world, and I am actually a bit stumped trying to think of any other parental responsibility that is more important (assuming the basic food/shelter/love thing is covered).
We have some kids in the family who were brought up very sheltered. They have not had an easy or comfortable transition to adulthood, and one gets the sense that the world is quite a scary and confusing place for them.
I did, however, shelter dd from certain things when she was little, mostly because she would get stuck on things and insist on understanding them in detail, except she was too little and then she would get frustrated. TV news, for example. The TV news block broke down on 9/11 (dd was 9), as we all sat mouths agape in front of the box. It was a good thing too, because the kids did talk about it at school, and a lot of crazy stuff was going around the school yard.

Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday. Yesterday I was met with a blustery wind, and snow showers as I hurried to the bus stop. Bah Humbug!, I say. We need spring :) This semester is also one of the busiest I've had in a while, with over 100 students. When I finally started thinking about Travel Photo Thursday last night I opened up Flickr to see what I could share. Today I have only one shot, and it's one of my favorites from this past winter in Chiang Mai.
To join in the Travel Photo Thursday fun simply post a photo on your blog. Return here and place your link in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post.
Please post a link to a post featuring a travel photo, not simply a link to your blog.
The Twitter hash tag for Travel Photo Thursday is #TPThursday.
As a courtesy please post a link to Budget Travelers Sandbox.
Most visitors to Chiang Mai's Wat Sri Suphan, myself included, go to admire and photograph the temple's beautiful silver Ubosot. Here's one of my recent shots. However, if you take the time to explore the temple grounds you'll be pleasantly surprised to find an active silver smithing community. I had no trouble wiling away a pleasant hour watching both layman and monks producing silver products, mostly pictures depicting Buddhism scenes. This shot is my favorite from that day. Doesn't this young monk look focused and intent on his task?
Travelers Tip
You will find Wat Sri Suphan in Chiang Mai's silver district on Wualai Road; also home to the city's popular Saturday night walking market. The temple is open from sunset to dusk everyday. The silver smithing shop was bustling on the day I was there at around 3pm. Entrance to the temple is always free of charge. There is a small outdoor cafe, where you can purchase water and other beverages.
Please take a moment, and follow BTS on FACEBOOK.

That's a beautiful shot, Nancie! I can imagine the amount of concentration and skill they need to produce those silver products. This is the first I've heard of the silversmiths in Chiang Mai. What a great keepsakes those would make. Wishing you better weather soon and a trouble-free semester.

That's certainly different weather than what you enjoyed during your Chiang Mai winter. And it sounds like a busy semester, too. I didn't make it down to Wat Sri Suphan on our Chiang Mai visit. That artisan certainly looks like he's concentrating. Nice photo.

Hi Nancie, what a beautiful image; nice depth of field. And what an interesting subject. I can feel the intensity of his concentration. i'm curious to see the finish product of his work. It must be exquisite.
I hope a nice spring weather is upon you soon. We finally got a decent spring day in NYC yesterday! Thanks for putting this TPT up despite you busy semester.

I love the shot – not only the subject but your composition is fantastic and I love how the background is blurry so we focus on the fellow.
I'm not feeling too sorry for you with regards to weather as we have had a yucky spring so far. I shoveled again a few days ago. but it does sound like you've got a heavy load with students. When's the next break scheduled?

I must admit that this is the type of travel photo I love. It really tells the story and is intimate. I myself find this hard to do – taking photos of people – but occasionally I pull it off. This one where he is just going about his craft oblivious to the camera (or appearing to be) is wonderful.

It's fascinating to see the intensity and concentration he is displaying. The skills required are incredible..it's often a shame the pieces they make sell for so little. Chiang Mai is a busy town!
Summer's lingering in Western Australia…the change of seasons are certainly getting later. I hope you manage to get a mid term break Nancie.
jenny recently posted…Our Summer Hideaway: Rottnest Island on Instagram
A beautiful travel photo Nancie, that really captures a moment in time. I think it's the sort of photo that stands the test of time too, and will always have meaning because the energy and concentration on show just jump off the screen and grab you. Thanks for sharing a pertinent and interesting short post today.

That is a beautiful shot, Nancie. You've really captured his concentration. It's as if he's meditating.
Thanks for sharing this post. I never even thought about how they make all those wonderful silver products. Beautiful!

The Advantages Of Electric Cigarettes In Canada
Smokers are now enjoying an alternative to tobacco products by smoking electric cigarettes in Canada. These e cigarettes have become increasingly popular because they cost less, have no odor and can be smoked everywhere.
The price of electric cigarettes in Canada is about half the price of regular tobacco cigarettes. This advantage alone is a good enough reason to make the switch to e cigarettes. With so many smokers struggling financially, it just makes good economic sense to switch over to this cheaper alternative if you are not planning to quit smoking.
Electronic Cigarettes have virtually no odor, too. Some people say they have a slight smell, but the odor is not offensive and does not smell like tobacco cigarettes. This is a huge benefit because smokers do not have to worry about smelly clothes or a smoke-filled home.
Another major advantage of e cigarettes is the fact that they can be discreetly smoked anywhere. Anytime the urge for a smoke arises, you can just take a few quick puffs and be satisfied. The vapor that is exhaled into the air quickly dissipates so it is unnoticeable in most situations. If you do not want everyone to know you smoke, e cigarettes are an easy way to keep it to yourself.

Year End Special: 7 Times Rahul Gandhi Made Us Laugh in 2013He didn't mean to. Here's a look at purely unintentional and hilarious outcomes of Rahul Gandhi's year in the 2013 sun.
This head scratching definition of our motherland came during a rally at his parliamentary constituency Amethi. Well, atleast this was better than his "politics is your pants" corollary he gave last year.
The mother of all outbursts happened when Congress's angry young(?) man gate crashed Ajay Maken press conference and declared that the ordinance to protect convicted law makers, that had been cleared by the Union cabinet was "complete nonsense and should be torn up and thrown away". Rahul baba tried to channel his inner Rajnikanthness to come out looking like the saviour of truth, honesty and integrity and in the end seemed to achieve the desired result, when the Congress ministers put the ordinance in the dumpster, days after publicly singing songs in its praise. But what his act did, was to make PM Manmohan Singh look like a headless chicken and provide hilarious meme generating opportunities to the over-active Twitter junta.
Rahul Gandhi's speeches, off late, have started having an overdose of melodrama-70's Bollywood style. At a rally in Madhya Pradesh, an emotional Rahul revealed that mom Sonia was unable to breath when she reached the hospital in August, when he Food Security Bill was up for voting in the Parliament. Then at a rally in poll bound Rajasthan, he dropped this killer 'Amitabh vs Shashi Kapoor Deewarish dialogue' -."They killed my grandmother, my father, maybe they'll kill me. I don't care." Ofcourse , he then proceeded to describe how he used to play badminton with Indira Gandhi's guards who later assassinated her. EMOTIONAL CONNECT is all he wanted, that too in caps lock, but we aren't sure that materialized.
And we are waiting for it to load.

A big emergency response in South Burlington Thursday due to a propane leak.
Crews were called to the Georgetown Apartments on Kennedy Drive after authorities say a backhoe operator clearing snow accidentally severed the nozzle of a recently-refilled propane tank.
"In the process of doing a snow clearing operation, we had a bucket loader sheared off the top of a propane tank, a 500-gallon propane tank. He sheared off the fill areas which allowed the gas to escape out the cylinder," South Burlington Deputy Fire Chief Terry Francis said.
Residents were evacuated and firefighters vented the building until the propane company off-loaded the tank. No one was hurt.

Areas of Interest
Organizational and institutional cultures as related to:
Strategic human resource development
Employee turnover
Organizational learning
Student persistence
Faculty satisfaction
My current research is on the topic of strategic HRD. I developed a model (published in 2006) and have recently collaborated with an international colleague with whom I co-authored a paper that was presented at the 2010 AHRD conference in Shanghai. The paper was based on the survey I developed to determine the organizational factors that may lead to HRD being at the Strategic Planning Table, which my colleague and I recently pilot-tested in corporate settings. In Fall, 2011, I also will be resuming research on organizational cultures that are conducive to lowering employee turnover as well as cultures that foster organizational learning.
I have a BA degree in business administration from Drake University, after which I spent over a decade in the corporate world in marketing and management. Both my Master's and Ph.D. are in education from the University of Minnesota.
My overarching mission is to foster and contribute to the intellectual development of adult learners. To that end, I would be delighted to work with M.A. and Ph.D. students who share an interest in any of the topics noted above and who would be willing to engage in research with me on those topics.
