Parent involvement
My kids go to papago and I think it's a wonderful school. The principal and teachers are very caring. Everybody complains it's a bad neighborhood where the school is located. That is untrue. The kids are very safe being in the new school. I moved my family from gilbert,az to phoenix,az 3 years ago. I have been very happy with papago. Go Pantthersss!!!!!!!
If you are in the district and looking for a preschool, this is the place. Mrs. Headley and her staff provide a TOP NOTCH learning environment for educating the preschool and prekindergarten child. My son qualified for developmental preschool because of an expressive speech delay and I was skeptical going into the neighborhood and school. Much to my surprise and delight, he has learned more at this preschool in 3 months than he learned at a close by EXPENsIVE private preschool. Teachers are well educated in dealing with all the developmental areas of the child and Mrs Headley is such a blessing on reiterating that information. I wish all preschool programs followed this guideline and was able to reinforce these educational and developmental skills. I do not know too much about the K-8 program but I can tell you that I am not impressed with the PE program and its coaches. The children have been playing a modification of "flag football" for the past 3 months. Are there no other sports to learn? One staff member blamed it on lack of an indoor gym. BLAH! St Thomas the APostle does not have a gym and neither does Veritas Prep and they have made do. That needs work!
My children grew up in this difficult area and have attended this great school, remembering their teachers and the best faculty members, who are kind and caring! I have had the pleasure of having parent/teacher conferences where the teachers took their turn visiting the students' homes. We have a student counselor who has been with the school for many years and stayed on to volunteer and continue helping the students. But, our school is an open campus rearing to get ready for a huge remodeling. Outdated and with various add-ons, it is finally being updated to a closed campus school for security reasons. I like most parents am very excited and proud of the exemplary service the directors,teacher, and faculty members have given to our community. I hope we continue to receive your votes as we trust and encourage our school to continue educating our children to the best of their abilities!
There is a new principal at Papago and he is great. He seems to honestly care about the students. He is trying to change the school into a better learning community. Because of this, there is more structure. Literacy is important at any school but because of the high number of non English speakers, it is very important to concentrate on helping them pass AIMS so that the school will be a higher performing school. Good job, teachers!
There is a very strong push for literacy in this school and very little else. The school is primarily Hispanic with a large ELL population. Kindergarten program is outstanding with teacher who are very talented and caring. For older students there is limited exposure to physical education, music, art and other extra curriculuar activites. The principal is very good and enthusiastic about ensuring childrens success, especially in literacy.
Need to focus on more than just literacy and create a more well rounded program. The focus is on spanish speaking children and literacy.
Papago school is heading in the right direction, but there is not enough parent involvement. Theres also not much extracurricular activities for the younger kids, just upper class.
This school has changed over the years as the neighborhood has changed. I think too much time is spent on spanish speaking students.

The mats remained in place over the winter and were removed last month during the second week of June. Prior to mat removal, the LGA contracted with DFWI to conduct surveys of the sediments that had built up on top of the mats as well as the sediment outside the perimeter of the matted area to see if there were any Asian clams present (indicating that they had escaped treatment). Sediment surveys were conducted in late May by DFWI. No live Asian clams were found during these surveys.
The LGA then contracted with AIM for mat removal at the site. Divers removed just over a half acre of benthic barriers from the Glenburnie Asian Clam site from June 9-12. Following the removal of the mats, an intensive survey using 2 mm sieves was completed by DFWI. A total of 487 sieve samples were taken and no live Asian clams were found in the survey.
Plans call for a follow up survey this September to confirm these results. Any small clams that might have been missed due to their size would have had a chance to grow to a size that would be found by that point.
These initial results are very promising! We have developed a good method for treating the clams. The problem is that they reproduce and spread so quickly, that we didn't get them all treated in time at some of the larger sites that were first found in the Lake. So our initial treatment results were good, but they had escaped detection and it turns out they had already reproduced and spread. So we have had to take a step back and are unfortunately no longer in 'rapid response' mode. We are now trying to better understand how the clams are reproducing and moving in Lake George, so that we can be as strategic as possible with our limited resources. The Darrin Fresh Water Institute has a number or research questions that they are working on this year so that we can better understand how the clams are behaving in the lake. And we will continue with our lake-wide survey at the end of this summer to look for new sites.

SURRY COUNTY -- An animal rescue group says it's raised the down payment to buy the Surry County home once used by Michael Vick for dog fighting.
The group Dogs Deserve Better announced on its Website it had received an approval for a loan on Friday, April 29 and hopes to close on the property mid-May.
It will be called Good Newz Rehab Center for Chained and Penned Dogs, a play on Vick's Bad Newz Kennels.
The 15-acre property, including house and sheds, is selling for $595,000.
The group is still raising money to pay the remainder, build a fence around the property to keep the dogs inside and safe, and install temporary housing for dogs while they fundraise to build the facility.
Members have previously said say they'd need an estimated $3 million to create the dog center. The house would become an office, fundraising center and store.

I'd like to see more add-ons that help you deal with problem players.
Two I would suggest are Blacklist and ASSFilter. Blacklist is like an unlimited ignore list that you can tack notes onto, so you can remember why you blocked them in the first place.
ASSFilter is one I consider essential for raid pigging. Ever been in Trade when the idiots start up with the "Anal [Whatever]"? This add-on blocks all those posts, helping make Trade almost bearable.

Check out a add on called Event Horizon. It will help you determine casting priorities and also tracks uptime of your most crucial spells. It was designed originally for Locks but has since been expanded to other classes. I use it to manage my Rogue's Mutilate rotations and has been a life saver. I think it will be very beneficial for you especially having to learn a new rotation and all.

Dec. 19 (Bloomberg) -- The average price for regular gasoline at U.S. filling stations fell 5.25 cents to $3.2393 a gallon, according to Lundberg Survey Inc.
The price decline covers the two-week period ended Dec. 16 and is based on the company's survey of about 2,500 stations.
"Unknowns about the European debt crisis seem to have made oil prices skittish, and it is the cause of continued declines at the pump," Trilby Lundberg, president of Lundberg Survey in Camarillo, California, said yesterday in a telephone interview. "The U.S. gasoline market continues to receive down pressure from falling gasoline demand."
Gasoline for January delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 12.92 cents, or 4.9 percent, to $2.487 a gallon in the two weeks ended Dec. 16.
U.S. gasoline stockpiles jumped 3.82 million barrels to 218.8 million in the week ended Dec. 9, the highest level since March, the Energy Department reported Dec. 14. Inventories have risen 14.7 million barrels, or 7.2 percent, in five weeks of gains.
Measured on a four-week average, demand, or deliveries to wholesalers, was 4.5 percent below a year earlier, compared with a 3.5 percent deficit the prior week. The four-week average of total fuel supplied was 5.6 percent below 2010.
Declining Demand
Gasoline demand at the pump in the week ended Dec. 9 was 8.76 million barrels a day, down 4.6 percent from a year earlier, according to MasterCard Inc.'s SpendingPulse report on Dec. 13. Year-to-date demand is down 1.6 percent from a year earlier.
The front-month crude oil contract declined $7.43, or 7.4 percent, in the two weeks ended Dec. 16 to settle at $93.53.
Crude prices may fall this week on expectation that the European debt crisis will worsen and reduce fuel demand.
Nine of 17 analysts, or 53 percent, forecast oil will slide through Dec. 23. Six respondents, or 35 percent, predicted a gain and two estimated there will be little change. Last week, 41 percent of surveyed analysts projected a drop.
Crude oil supplies fell 1.93 million barrels to 334.2 million in the week ended Dec. 9, according to the Energy Department. Inventories at Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for New York-traded West Texas Intermediate oil, rose 83,000 barrels to 31.2 million.
On Long Island, regular gasoline averaged $3.55 a gallon in the latest survey, Lundberg said. Los Angeles-area retail stations averaged $3.52 a gallon.
The highest price in the lower 48 U.S. states among the cities surveyed was in San Francisco, where customers paid an average of $3.57 a gallon. The lowest price was in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where a gallon averaged $2.83, Lundberg said.

Doug Gottlieb tried to make a joke during CBS' broadcast of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday night, and he ended up hearing nothing but crickets and Twitter outrage. If he could do it over, I'm sure Gottlieb would take back his comment about bringing the "white man's perspective" to CBS' panel of tournament analysts. He later apologized.
"It was not a smart thing to say and I apologize," Gottlieb said according to the Associated Press.
However, Charles Barkley was not offended. After catching wind of the way Gottlieb was being torn apart on Twitter and other social media sites, Barkley decided to take a few moments to defend his colleague later in the broadcast.

Photo Tips for Busy Parents
Photo Tips for Busy Parents was a class set up and conducted by Jenn Bartell, on September 25, at her studio on 2418 K Street. Eleven parents (all moms or expected moms except for 1) attended the workshop. This was a free workshop held by Jenn Bartell at a studio she shares with Catrina Maria Arcularius who specializes in Event Planning and Design and Suzanne "Weedon" O'Brien a floral designer-owner of Garden of Weedon. This is a good business location and the usage of space is greatly utilized by having three small businesses under one roof.
The class started off by going over the technical aspects of the camera. Most parents in the class had entry to intermediate level digital single-lens (DSLR) cameras making this a more challenging class for these parents but at the same time more rewarding once they learn how to use the functions of their cameras. Jenn tried to quickly cover aperture and shutter settings on the cameras. She recommended these two settings as a foundation for taking good pictures. She also covered ISO settings and looking at the parents it may have been a little bit more overwhelming than they anticipated.
She did pass on that she sets her camera on manual setting saying, "I like to use all the settings myself, this gives me more control. I try to stay away from flash as this tends to wash out skin tones and leaves harsh shadows." This basically separates the "pros" from the rest of us.
The worried look on some parents seemed to disappear as she moved on to discuss an actual shoot. Jenn was very patient and reminded me of a second grade teacher reading a story to her kids. She was very attentive and thoroughly answered questions. Students patiently and eagerly took written and mental notes.
Jenn recommended looking for interesting places to photograph children. Take notice of these interesting places and more important observe natural light and the time of day. She also recommended candid shots. Have the child do something they enjoy such as playing with legos, drawing anything that grabs their attention and they enjoy doing. While the child is doing this the parent should move around them and photograph from different sides and angles. Once in a while ask them to show you their project this way you'll capture moments when they're not "posing" for the camera or saying "cheese" something that many of us do. Older children can be told how to pose and tend to follow directions better than younger children. Jenn indicated that one of the most important things you can do is to "stay patient and wait for the look you want."
It's almost unusual to hear of a photographer who went to school to learn the trade but Jenn has been interested in photography since she was a young child and this carried on to High School at Sacramento High. She chose to attend Sacramento High School because of their photography program. She mentioned her photography teacher from who she learned a lot Mr. Tafoya. Jenn noted that Mr. Tafoya moved to McClatchy High School where he still teaches. Jenn attended Brooks Institute of Photography graduating in 2005. She spent some time in New York and San Diego before deciding to come back to her home town. Back in Sacramento she decided to concentrate in portrait photography, children, and weddings. Her demeanor and patience, I believe, make her well suited to specialize in children's photography.
Jenn's studio will be hosting Sacramento Rocks! A Kids Photo Show on Saturday October 9 as part of the Second Saturday art walk. The studio will be open from 5-9 for this exhibit. This showing will be open for photographs taken by kids 12 or younger of their favorite person, place or thing in Sacramento. Photographs taken and submitted by Sacramento-area kids will be displayed along with the child's name, age and title of their photo. Each child may submit one photo for the show and all photos will be printed and displayed. September 15 is the deadline for submission. Email submissions to email@example.com.
Jenn had many tips and tricks for parents to use when photographing their children, she also had 5 most important things that should be noted:
• Try to stay away from using flash
• Stay patient and wait for a shot you want
• Concentrate on the features of the face
• Keep eyes in sharp focus
• Clean up any distractions in your background
Children are very active and in order for them not to lose interest keep a shooting session somewhere between 30 to 45 minutes. Event with all the tips and tricks Jenn provided you have to know when to stop. Keep checking Jenn's web page for future updates and if you're in need of a photographer, a florist or even an event planner you can get all three by visiting The Studio at 2418 K Street.

Keynote Speech: Harry Belafonte
Envision: Addressing Global Issues Through Documentaries
A Joint Program of IFP and the United Nations' Department of Public Information
New York, NY
July 10, 2010
By Brian Geldin
Photo by Erin Essemmacher.
The Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP) and the United Nations Department of Public Information (UN DPI) presented its second annual "Envision: Addressing Global Issues through Documentaries" forum yesterday at TheTimesCenter in New York City. The event combined film presentations with substantive, live-audience discussions on pressing global issues. The U.N.'s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) served as the focal point. The Spotlight Focus for was exploring creative solutions to our global education crisis, specifically focusing on the U.N.'s Millennium Development Goal of achieving universal primary education. World-renowned actor, musician and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Harry Belafonte (who my generation might best remember his song "Day-O, The Banana Boat Song" in the famous dinner table dance scene of Tim Burton's 1988 classic, Beetlejuice,") presented the keynote address. More of my notes (and fellow contributor Erin Essenmacher) from further panels and discussions at Envision will be posted soon here on The Film Panel Notetaker.
Belafonte began by saying he came to Envision wearing several hats that are filled with passion: for children, for the United Nations Children's Fund, for people, for the arts and for filmmaking. Belafonte's Goodwill Ambassadorship for the past quarter-century for UNICEF was based upon him putting together a campaign called "We Are the World," which had a lot to do with conditions of children in Africa. "I am particularly happy to be engaged in the mission of Envision," Belafonte said. "I don't think there's any one thing more important and certainly no greater cause to which the entire human family can commit itself to the welfare of the children of our planet."
Belafonte said he's had the pleasure of working on many campaigns that have tried to do remarkable things in places that need remarkable solutions, most of which are complicated. In Jennifer Arnold's documentary, A Small Act (which screened immediately after Belafonte's remarks and premiers Monday on HBO) deals with the country (Kenya) that he said he has had great history with. He said he was deeply moved by the film, not only for the magnificence of its content (about a Harvard graduate and human rights lawyer for the U.N. who creates a scholarship program in the name of the generous Swedish woman who once sponsored him when he was a student in Kenya, for impoverished Kenyan primary school students today), but with the clear use of language and vision to impart a simple idea that no act is too small to make a difference.
In 2004, Belafonte said he went to Kenya when its President at the time made a declaration that all of the public schools would be free for children to attend, but no one understood how that might translate to a population. Over a million children signed up on the say the schools were open, and the facilities were way too minimal to meet the urgency. UNICEF evaluated the conditions and initially contributed $25 million to open up facilities and find teachers, but much of that vision has since eroded. He said A Small Act does much to describe how despite the difficulties in Kenya, there's so much that the world at large can do to make a difference for children.
Belafonte said he first came to know Kenya through the U.N. One of his closest friends was Eleanor Roosevelt, who was a great force in the creation of this institution, particularly in the writing of the declaration of human rights. Along with Roosevelt, Jackie Robinson and others, they put together an airlift for 143 Kenyan students that was in violation of an agreement with Great Britain and America, but they did it anyway, to place them in universities across America. One of the men in these groups of Kenyans was someone who gave life to the current President of the United States of America, Barack Obama.

Hjelmeland (help·info) is a municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. Hjelmeland was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt). Two other municipalities were later separated from it: Årdal (in 1849) and Fister (in 1884), but these were both again merged with Hjelmeland on 1 January 1965.
Hjelmeland is known for their fruit (apples, pears, plums, cherries and strawberries) and fish production. Salmon has been important for the fish industry in Hjelmeland for a couple of decades, but white fish such as cod and halibut has increased its value in the latter years.

Good Questions: Bookshelf Headboard Options?
Hello, This headboard/bookshelf is something I've been looking for, do you know where I can get either this particular bookshelf or something like it that would fit well behind a bed? Thanks!
The image above is from Dwell Studio — anyone have ideas?
14 Comments
I have one for twin bed if you want it.
Prepac makes some that I considered for a while in a number of colors, and they're pretty affordable. I've heard they're study (for particleboard) as well.
If you go Ebay and search for book case headboards, they have a variety of styles, materials and prices. Some of them are from prepac, some are laminate or engineered wood, one fo the more expensive ones is cherry..
Hit up the thrift!
Go right to your local thrift shop. That way you can see the goods in person and measure it for the right proportions. Large furniture items like this show up in thrift stores every day, so be persistent and you'll find a bookcase that suits your needs. Just make sure that the shelves will be secure when you tip it on its side. Avoid ones with bracketed shelves.
Thrift is best. That way you can measure the piece and make sure the proportions are correct. Make sure, though, that the shelves are sturdy and will hold up when you tip the piece. Stay away from bracketed shelves for this purpose.
I got a bed very similar to this for $16 from my local thrift shop.
Also try Craigslist -- I can't speak for your area, but down here in Virginia, a lot of bookcase headboards (usually from waterbeds) show up.
Hit up craigslist.
That doesn't look like an actual headboard to me---I think it's a bookcase with the bed pushed up against it.
You could do something like an Expedit unit (from IKEA) and then put the bed in front of it for a similar look. The taller one (here) placed on its side might be most similar to this look, but you could use the taller one for a more dramatic headboard. You'd lose easy access to the cubbies behind the bed, but you could use that space for long term storage of small stuff or off-season clothes.
march 3rd, spammer much?
I've had a bookshelf headboard for years - good place to store things you want in bed. We keep a small clock stereo (that also plays cds) on ours along with some of our favorite books and cds...plus two small lamps on top on either side since only one side of the bed has a nightstand and it's small.
I like the idea of using the Ikea Expedit bookcase. But I have a higher than normal queen size bed so I'm thinking of setting the bookshelf on bricks so it will rise above the top of the bed. Any one have any thoughts if this might work?
Am I the only one who likes to read in bed. How does one prop the pillow on a bookcase?

Ex-Mayor Fred Eaton reached the city at noon today coming down from San Francisco on the Coast Line. . . . he has lost none of the enthusiasm for the Owens River project on which he has been at work for months . . . .
No sooner had he reached his room at the California Club than he was beset by many persons connected with the Water Department of the city . . . . throughout the afternoon he held an informal reception which made it difficult for any individual to secure connected talk with him.
He took time, however, to briefly outline his work on the projected water system, and said:
Thirteen years ago I went to Owens Valley to study the water situation with a view to colonizing the valley, having heard having heard a great deal about the magnificent water supply of that region.
After studying the situation carefully, I was convinced that a colonization project was not practicable . . . and I abandoned the idea. . . .
Then the idea came to me that here was the source of water supply that I knew Los Angeles would need in the course of years . . . . I caused a preliminary survey to be made then at my own expense. . . .
I allowed the matter to lie dormant until the middle of last year. . . . Finally I made up my mind that the time had come for action.
My idea . . . was to organize a strong company which should develop the great water power of the streams which pour down from the high Sierras [sic] and then combine with the electric feature . . . bringing the water to the San Fernando Valley . . . and from the sale of the electricity and water I was satisfied the project would be an inviting one.
. . . I knew the government was planning to put in irrigation works, relying on the waters of the Owen River for the supply . . . . If I had waited until after the government was at work, it would have required $1 million to $2 million more to get the water for the city, and
Later . . . I met Mr. Mathews [the city attorney], and he urged me to . . . let the water be developed by the municipality. This I disliked to do, for it would deprive me of what I believed to be a splendid opportunity to make money . . . . I finally consented . . . .
The result was an agreement that I would turn over to the city all the water rights I had acquired at the price I had paid for them, except that I retained the cattle which I had been compelled to take in making the deals . . . and mountain pasture land of no value except for grazing purposes. . . .
. . . the matter has cost me about $15,000 . . . . Should I desire to continue in the cattle business . . . it will be necessary for me to invest about $150,000 additional in the purchase of suitable farming land. . . .

When William Randolph Hearst brought his brand of journalism to Los Angeles in December 1903, he carried with it a talented crew of reporters, editors and courtroom sketch artists. Here is an example of the kind of exciting courtroom drama Angelinos could buy for a nickel on August 12, 1905.
Walter Scott, the Death Valley prospector, returned to Los Angeles this afternoon over the Santa Fe after a record-breaking trip to Chicago and a triumphal tour of the East.
[Scott, known as Death Valley Scotty, had chartered a special train to break the speed record between L.A. and Chicago. For more, click here.]
He was accompanied by Mrs. Scott.
A large crowd welcomed them at the depot. Both received the vociferous welcome with smiles of delight.
Im glad to be back home, said Scott. Ive had enough of the effete East and especially of New York. Oh, theres a bunch of cheap guys around that Waldorf-Astoria. They make me tired.
A dozen persons fired questions at the miner in the same breath, and Scott made no attempt to reply, except to say:
Sure, all right, boys! Im going back to the desert
Rol King and others accompanied Scott to the Hollenbeck Hotel, where he registered. A suite of rooms had been prepared in advance.
Scott seemed embarrassed by his dudish apparel. He wore a slazy black suit several numbers too large, patent leather shoes, black cowboy hat, neglige shirt and a flaring red tie. Evidently he had carefully groomed himself for the Los Angeles reception.
He still wears the smile that wont come off. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Scott appeared the least weary after their exciting adventures.
Telephone messages were sent to the various hotels when Scott stepped off the train, but the Hollenbeck was the fortunate bidder. The saloon next door was crowded with local sports ready to welcome the generous miner when he made his appearance.
Mrs. Scott was fashionably dressed. She is a handsome woman and is plainly proud of and much in love with her picturesque husband.
They were escorted to a big white automobile, and Scott sat serenely on the front seat and
Miss Violet Sutton won the title of woman tennis champion of Southern California for the second time by defeating her sister, Florence, at Ocean Park this afternoon after a hard battle. The score: 86, 61, 86

In point of crowd bringing and value giving, our Semi-Annual $5.00 Suit Sale is one of the banner events scheduled by the Broadway.

Grand Falls-Windsor native Joanna Barker will release her debut album 'February' this weekend
Joanna Barker, a native of Grand Falls-Windsor, will release her first CD this weekend. — Photo by Justin Brake/Special to The Telegram
"There it is!" Joanna Barker is excited as she points to the old apple tree she was talking about on the ferry, the one that marks the grown-over plot of land in Wabana where her mother's childhood home once stood.
It's Sunday evening just before dusk and we've made the trek to Bell Island because it seemed an appropriate place for the 23-year-old Grand Falls-Windsor native to share some thoughts on her debut album, "February," which she celebrates the release of this weekend with a pair of performances in central and St. John's.
At 12, her mother, Dianne, became the woman of the household when Barker's grandmother, mother of nine children, passed away.
The story is recounted in the folk songstress's tune "Dianne," a solemn number that seeps into the subconscious with candor, like most of the songs on "February."
"It was overnight that she became a lady," Barker explains. "It floors me to think how that would affect my entire life. For my mom to turn around and have nine children of her own, like her mother — she's something else."
Growing up in a large family was a humbling experience, she says, as we return to the car and continue our drive around the island.
Influenced by her five older siblings' diverse musical preferences and her parents' encouragement, in retrospect Barker realizes she was on a path to songwriting all along.
But it wasn't until she left home for university that the creative drive to make her own music began.
A series of experiences with relationships, losing a close friend and learning of her Innu heritage sparked in her a compulsion to turn her bricolage of "feelings" into song.
Barker reunited with high school friend and rising Newfoundland star Matthew Hornell in the spring of 2010 when he and his band The Diamond Minds spent five days with her on their tour through Nova Scotia.
The visit came just two months after her first public performance, and the encouragement she received from the band, she says, stirred a new level of confidence in her.
"We'd stay up late jamming cover tunes every night," she recalls. "Matthew was so instrumental in encouraging me to pursue songwriting."
It seems fitting that when she returned to Newfoundland and settled in St. John's, Barker eventually moved into Hornell's old bedroom and took over the basement jam space of his Cabot Street apartment as he packed his bags for Halifax.
Her first notable St. John's performance came that fall when she opened for Hornell, Dead Language and The Dardanelles at The Ship for the Diamond Minds' national tour kickoff show.
"I played a packed Ship of people listening attentively, and they had no idea who I was," she recalls.
The ensuing year precipitated a period of songwriting, but with no intention of making a record, she says, although in the summer of 2010 she had read a book that inspired the eventual concept for her album. It was Lisa Moore's novel "February."
"I read that book in a day, on my birthday, and spent two days crying and walking around St. John's thinking, 'I felt all of that?'
"Even though the actual story isn't at all what I went through, a lot of the themes and parallels of what that character was feeling is what I was feeling. So I realized (my album) was my February, and it was kind of a shout out to Lisa Moore and the incredible novel she wrote, and what I got out of it."
In February 2011 she revisited one of her first songs, which alludes to "a list of stuff I need to do before I'm able to accept (adult) life decisions," she explains.
"And that's where the song 'Closer' comes from," she continues, citing the album's closing track, a retrospective song written a year after the opening number.
"It's me revisiting, verse by verse, with the same chord progression and a similar melody — I'm not there yet, but I'm closer than I was," she says.
"I'm not who I'm supposed to be, or who I have the potential to be, but I'm closer. And then I started thinking about the album — here's track No. 1, track No. 10, and the other eight, which were already written, go in between."
The album is a timeline of events and experiences Barker wrote between February 2010 and February 2011, so she called that first track "February" and subtitled the closer "February Reprise."
Poignant and sombre, the songs in between introduce us to Barker's distinct thick, folky contralto voice and might resonate with listeners as one of the strongest recent efforts by a Newfoundland female songwriter.
We pull into Lance Cove on the island's south shore at dark and, continuing our conversation, stare across at Topsail's illuminated shoreline.
"Empty Boat At Shore" is one of the album's more stunning tracks.
Conjuring sentiments from a past relationship, it both epitomizes the talent of her string section, which includes Ilia Nicoll (Hunter Gatherers) on violin, Billy Nicoll (All The Wiles, Hunter Gatherers) on cello and Dave Bridger (formerly of Pilot to Bombardier and Duane Andrews' band) on standup bass, and demonstrates the young songwriter's personal courage and maturity.
Banjo player Ben Rigby (Dead Language, All The Wiles) and drummer Jake Nicoll (The Burning Hell, All The Wiles, The Hunter Gatherers) round out the band, and Lawn native Shona Stacey (The Drows) contributes backing vocals on a number of tracks.
The majority of the album's songs were given life in that basement jam space, as was a band dynamic that Barker, an inexperienced collaborator at the time, values to no end.
"It was definitely a great big creative process (and) a lot of the songs changed in the rehearsing process," she recalls.
"I tried to establish a creative space. We'd just meet on Cabot Street, people would show up at staggered times, everyone had a cup of wine, and it was so hot in the basement we'd just open the door and play."
Longtime friend and "February" producer Michael Dalton also plays guitar on the album.
At summer's end, Barker and her band went into the studio to work with sound engineer and "February" co-producer Leo Bruce of Henge Productions.
When Bruce discovered Barker had 10 years of piano lessons under her belt, he suggested she play around with a few of the songs so they might encompass a taste of her other musical talent — and she did.
"Blackfoot," "So Good So Easy" and "Once Was A Tree," among the record's standout tracks, are sure to substantiate her spot on The Newfoundland Herald's Artists to Watch in 2012 list, published in January.
With its bold lyrics relating Canada's colonial past to the circumstances aboriginal people around the country face today, "So Good So Easy" marks a brave effort to address an important but often neglected piece of our shared history.
"I've been carrying around the lyrics for that a long time," she explains. "In university I was taking some anthropology courses on Mi'kmaq people and indigenous studies.
"I could never find the music for that song to get the feeling across, I think because I felt like it wasn't completely my story to tell," she continues.
"I was nervous about voice appropriation, about offending, about breaking a vow of silence that, yeah OK, I have Innu heritage but in that class I had women come into our lectures who (talked about) surviving residential schools, (about) having their children taken away from them.
"At the same time, I had to get it out there."
Whatever her future in music holds, Barker is off to a promising start. Like one of her biggest songwriting inspirations, Joni Mitchell, she has opened herself up to the world with at times aching, but always heartfelt, honesty.
And, following in Amelia Curran's footsteps, she might just be the next in line to inspire other young female songwriters in the province to step the lyrical bravery up a notch and catalyze the exciting new wave of young folk musicians into the realm of intrepid artistry.
Barker and Hornell perform at the Grand Falls-Windsor Arts and Culture Centre Friday evening and, accompanied by Nova Scotia songwriter Kim Wempe, at The Ship Pub in St. John's Saturday.

Chapter 21 ? Part 1 AE21-1 On January 1, 2007, Burke Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for a machine. The terms of the lease called for Burke to make annual payments of $8,728 at the beginning of each year, starting January 1, 2007. The machine has an estimated useful life of 6 years and a $5,100 unguaranteed residual value. The machine reverts back to the lessor at the end of the lease term. Burke uses the straight-line method of depreciation for all of its plant assets. Burke's incremental borrowing rate is 9%, and the Lessor's implicit rate is unknown. Instructions (a) What type of lease is this? Capital Lease (b) Compute the present value of the minimum lease payments. (Hint: Use present value tables in chapter 6 and round your answer to the nearest dollar. Use rounded amounts for future calculations. If you use a calculator instead of the tables, compute present value factors for $1.00 with five decimals). $ 37004 (c) Prepare all necessary journal entries for Burke for this lease through January 1, 2008. (List multiple debit/credit entries in order of magnitude.) E21-3 Assume that on January 1, 2008, Kimberly-Clark Corp. signs a 10-year noncancelable lease agreement to lease a storage building from Sheffield Storage Company. The following information pertains to this lease agreement. The agreement requires equal rental payments of $72,000 beginning on January 1, 2008. The fair value of the building on January 1, 2008 is $440,000. The building has an estimated economic life of 12 years, with an unguaranteed residual value of $10,000. Kimberly-Clark depreciates similar buildings on the straight-line method. The lease is nonrenewable. At the termination of the lease, the building reverts to the lessor. Kimberly-Clark's incremental borrowing rate is 12% per year. The lessor's implicit rate is not known by Kimberly-Clark. The yearly rental payment includes $2,470.51 of Executory Costs-Property Taxes related to taxes on the property. Instructions Prepare the journal entries on the lessee's books to reflect the signing of the lease agreement and to record the payments and expenses related to this lease for the years 2008 and 2009.

Wake Up Get Ready6 Reviews
Torture for Gerard waiting for Monica to awaken. Time to get ready for the tour.
Monica stirred and her leg rubbed up his body even further. She came fully awake when her knee felt his rock hard erection. Opening her eyes she smiled to herself. Gee was trying to inch away a bit. She closed her eyes again and pretended to still be asleep. She dropped her arm down off his chest and placed it by her knee. Now, her hand and her leg surrounded his erection. She felt his whole body stiffen and he tried to stifle a moan. She leaned her head back and stretched which moved her leg up and down. His sharp intake of breath let her know just how much she was affecting him. Her other arm which was around his neck lightly brushed his ear.
"Monica honey please wake up" his breathing was rapid. He was trying so hard to think of dead puppies or anything else bad just to get his mind off what was happening to his body.
Suddenly her hand moved to enclose his member. Ever so slowly she ran the length of him when she reached the silken tip her fingers danced over it then continued the trip back to the base.
He moaned and closed his eyes. "What are you doing to me?' he asked roughly.
Monica opened her eyes and looked up at him. "Saying good morning," she said in a sexy sleep voice.
"You are evil woman. How long have you been awake?" He moaned.
"Oh I don't know." She continued to glide her hand up and down. He was getting even harder. "Why? Was there something you wanted?" she fringed innocence.
"Yea, you got something I want" he ground out in a rough voice.
"Well, then why don't you just take whatever it is you want?" she challenged.
"Just go for it?"
With one swift move he rolled over and pinned her beneath his body. "Sure I should just take what I want?" he reached down and felt her warm moistness. She was ready causing him to smile.
She ran her finger over his bottom lip, "Go for it" she purred.
He plunged into her without further invitation. She moaned and arched her back to meet his thrusts. "Wrap you legs around me," he commanded.
She did as he said and the thrusts became quicker and harder. He leaned down to kiss her open mouth. His tongue took advantage of the open invitation. The coupling was quick, hard but very satisfying. Soon they lay in each other's arms breathing heavily.
Monica began to giggle. Gerard rolled his head over and looked at her, "What is so funny?"
"I was just trying to imagine your face when I was pretending to be sleeping. You were so hard."
"Man, I woke up with you in my arms and damn I keep thinking please let her wake up. It was so hard not to touch you."
She touched his cheek, "Please touch me whenever you want. I always want you, Gee."
He glanced at the clock on the bedside table. "We have a big day ahead of us. Lots of stuff to get ready for the tour. You've got to pack. Mom is expecting us home for dinner then Mikey's party is tonight."
"I'm really happy I'm going with you on the tour" She told him honestly, "I just hope the girls don't drive you mom crazy."
"Mom handled me and Mikey, she can handle them. It's gonna be so excellent having you with me. Shit, if you were with me anyplace would be good."
They got up, took turns in the shower, packed and checked out. Mikey was driving back with Alicica and Bob and Kara would be traveling with them. The trip home was nice. It gave them time to talk about movies, books and of course comics. Gerard was still surprised she had read and enjoyed almost all his favorites.
When they got back to Belleville the rest of the day was spent making plans for the tour. Gerard went to Ray's where the rest of the guys were meeting up. Monica, with the help of Kelly and Kara, packed. The girls were excited and happy for their mom.
"I wish I was going" Kara said folding a pair of jeans and putting them in the suitcase. "I'm going to miss Bob so much."
Monica looked at her "I know you will but remember what you promised me. Finish school then you will have your whole life ahead of you to plan."
Kara sighed, "I know momma. No wedding thoughts until after graduation."
Across the room Kelly looked up, "Wedding plans? What are you talking about?"
Kara smiled at her sister, "Bob asked me to marry him." She saw her mother frown and quickly added "But I promised mom that I won't even think of wedding plans until after I graduate."
Kelly rolled her eyes, "Whatever." She thought a moment then said, "Hey mom how weird would it be if you marry Gerard and Kara is married to Bob. Man, that's kind of strange."
Kara grinned "Yea, think of it. Mother and daughter married to guys in the same band."
Monica placed another pair of jeans in the suitcase, "Gee and I don't have any plans to marry." She told them. Marriage was something she didn't want to contemplate. Besides she reasoned with herself Gee had never mentioned it. They were happy the way they were, weren't they?"
Kelly was still giving the idea thought "But you both will eventually won't you? I mean you won't just date him forever."
Monica sighed "Honey, I don't know what will happen in the future. I love Gee and he loves me but I don't know if we will ever marry."
Kara was watching her mother closely, "Gerard is a good guy, mom." She waited until Kelly turned away to add in a low tone "and nothing like daddy."
Monica looked at her and knew what her daughter was saying "I know honey, he's nothing like your father."

Lovely! Unfortunately, my cats would see it as a giant scratching post ;)
Love the organic modernism trend. This table is a little too ornate to qualify for modernism, imho. More of a mix between a hollywood regency shape and organic modernism materials.
Hah, definitely not something I could ever see our cat around. She'd think I'd given her the most wonderful new scratching post in the world!
PegsterC, StayAtHomeSci The first thing that came to my mind when I saw this was, "Wow! Cats would think that they'd died and gone to kitty heaven, if their owners brought that home!" I'd want to sharpen my claws on it and I'm human...
i have always equated organic materials with modern design to the Eames'. Pictures of their case study home in California seemed to exude organic materials and foreign designs as well as modern lines to the furniture and architecture. So, I guess organic modernism is considered trendy, but, to me it's just a realization of the genius of the modern masters.
we're not a big fan of glass-topped tables, but, this seems natural since it allows the design underneath to show. oh, how i love a good 70s vibe.

Ned Young's art is filled with straightforward, truthful images that are blended with both memories and a roaming, childlike imagination. Ned says, "I have to be emotionally connected to a circumstance before the creative process can begin, and then, and only then, will a painting really sing. Without that very personal connection, the reason for painting doesn't exist and without the reason it would just become a task and not an extension or a sharing of myself."

It's fascinating looking at representations of Africans in Chinese CCP propaganda from the 60s and early 70s. During this time period, China saw itself standing in solidarity in a class struggle with POC in Africa, Asia and Latin America against white-led American and European imperialism. The CCP also saw itself as having led a revolution which could be modeled by the peoples of these nations. Representations of Africa in the propaganda of this era therefore show tremendous camaraderie and brotherhood, presenting a united front against Western imperialism and colonization.
At the same time, though, these images are also steeped in a deep sense of racialized paternalism, which the last image, "Saviour" speaks tremendously to as well. This was due in part to the fact that the CCP's revolution came earlier and was therefore the model revolution which they were "teaching" to Africans, but it also played directly upon antiblack stereotypes of African people as explicitly primitive (see the poster in which the "silver needle of friendship" is passed) and requiring the stewardship of the Chinese CCP in their march toward freedom in their own countries. The paternalism evident in the "friendship" is clear and plays into these racist, demeaning tropes, raising up a Chinese (rather than white) savior for African peoples in the face of Mao ZeDong.
These images are therefore interesting in the ways they evoke a sense of global POC solidarity against white-led imperialist forces from America and Europe, portray African leaders in a positive and noble light, generally work to show brotherhood between Chinese and African peoples, but then also plays to racist tropes like the "noble savage" trope and positions Africans and other POC in the developing world in solidarity but ultimately under Chinese CCP stewardship with a Chinese savior (Mao ZeDong) who "gets" their struggle, rather than a white one— but still a demeaning, paternalistic savior nonetheless.
Very interesting images to examine, especially for those interested in the history of relationships between Africans and Chinese people, and all of this come courtesy of chineseposters.net's amazing article "Foreign Friends: African Friends."

This has been a pretty good 50th Anniversary for fans of Doctor Who. We didn't just get a slam-bang 50th Anniversary Special just this past weekend that was the best episode the series has seen in a couple years. We didn't just get, finally, a fitting farewell to 8th Doctor Paul McGann. We didn't just get the introduction of a brand new Doctor. Perhaps most importantly, on top of all that, we got a handful of the series' infamous 'lost' episodes were found. And according to a new rumor from Blastr, we might be in for even more.
A scream melded into a horrific synthesized screech which resolved itself into ooooweeeoooo. The Doctor was dead for sure this time, maybe he was going to regenerate?! How exciting! That's pretty much what I thought at the end of every episode when I was a child, because one of my very first memories of Doctor Who was of Tom Baker lying down to die, only to have a mysterious figure in white appear and merge with him…his features melted and then became those of Peter Davison. As much as the original format of the show would be unlikely to work for a 21st Century audience, I do miss those weekly cliffhanger endings. Looking back now some of them seem horribly forced, but as a kid you see none of that, you're just filled with excitement and fear. How will The Doctor escape this time? Will The Doctor escape this time? Of course, that's one of the wonderful bonuses of the concept of regeneration. While it essentially exists to let the show continue after the lead actor has departed, it also serves to create a wonderful amount of dramatic tension. What other form of serial entertainment can you think of where the main character can not only die, but does die, and has already done so eleven times. Maybe. Assuming the War Doctor regenerates into the Ninth Doctor.
It's a big year for Doctor Who fans. As the series celebrates its 50th Anniversary, fans have been treated to a whole host of neat little extras (to make up, presumably, for the inexplicable half-season we were cursed with this year). Episodes long thought lost were found, allowing fans to see early masterpieces like "The Web of Fear" for the first time in decades. The current Doctor, Matt Smith, announced that he would be leaving the show (as Time Lords are wont to do); fans promptly freaked out. It was confirmed, time and again, that there just might be a female Doctor on the horizon. And now, with only a couple weeks before the "The Day of the Doctor" finally airs, Steven Moffat has a little treat for fans with prequel mini-episode "The Night of the Doctor."
Big, scary teeth in a crazy man's wide smile; enormous, round bulging eyes; a wide brimmed hat and a multi-coloured scarf that trailed after him as he ran down the corridors of an alien spaceship or through subterranean, mist filled tunnels on an alien world. These are my first memories of a character who was, by then, already a British institution. He was, quite frankly, terrifying to a five year old…but thankfully, in my earliest memories, The Doctor turned into a charming blond man who wore a stick of celery on his lapel and had a fondness for cricket. My dad had a fondness for cricket, this Doctor seemed entirely less alien to me. The show had changed.
For a very short period of time in the weeks before the identity of the 12th Doctor was revealed, Doctor Who fans thought that a woman might ascend the Tardis for the first time in the show's 50 year history. As we all know now, that didn't happen. Instead the very talented and equally male Peter Capaldi attained the position. However, Steven Moffat says that gender has absolutely nothing to do with choosing the right Doctor and when the right woman takes the role, it will be because she is the right person for the job.
As all cosplayers know, putting together an authentic costume isn't easy, and it only gets more difficult if you plan on cosplaying as a gender-swapped version of a character. ThinkGeek has made the process a little easier for fem-fans of Doctor Who, specifically for those who'd like to step into the threads of the 10th Doctor.
Mashup tees are amazing. They possess the very necessary ability to express your love of two separate fandoms at once without you having to say word. Mashups are at their most magical when the two fandoms represented are seemingly so different that they could never go together, but somehow do on the even playing field of your tee.
Below I've collected ten mashup tees that represent a variety of fandoms – from Skyrim to Akira to Peanuts – in unique combinations the should satisfy the multiple fangirls and boys that are in each of us.
This week we're taking a break from tee shirts to spotlight cool housewares and back-to-school accessories (and okay, one dress. We couldn't resist.) These excellent goodies feature licensed properties like Adventure Time, Mass Effect, Doctor Who and more.
So, in case you hadn't heard, the BBC and showrunner Steven Moffat revealed yesterday the identity of the new star of Doctor Who in a 30-minute live special this past weekend. Peter Capaldi, a star of the fantastically hilarious The Thick of It and In the Loop and a villain in the upcoming The Musketeers, has been tapped to play the 12th Doctor, a not-miniscule change of pace from the recent trend of handsome, manic younger stars. While he wouldn't have been my first choice for the role, I do think he's very solid, pretty darn interesting casting who will bring a brand new energy to the character. I'm excited to see what his season looks like. That said, his casting announcement brought an ugly side of Who fandom even closer to the fore – but not the one most people thought it would.
In a new development with the Doctor Who comic license, IDW has announced it's ending its six year partnership with the BBC publishing comics for them in December. While sad news that IDW is ending their partnership with the BBC on Doctor Who, they're going out in style with a special one shot written by Paul Cornell and drawn by Jimmy Broxton, due to be released in the last week of December.
This September, IDW will be publishing special variant covers in the style of classic cartoons. IDW asks, "Ever wondered what The X-Files' Mulder and Scully would look like as colorful, hijinks-having monster chasers? Ever wanted to see the mighty Judge dredd as a rubber-jointed 70s warrior? Of course you have!"
Late Saturday evening, the BBC dropped something of a bomb on their most passionate fandom: Matt Smith, star of much-loved science fiction show Doctor Who, is leaving the series at the end of 2013, departing during the show's yearly Christmas Special. Smith joined at the end of 2010, taking over from David Tennant, who himself replaced Christopher Eccleston as the perpetually-regenerating Time Lord. No replacement has yet been announced for Smith, who now has only two episodes left: the 50th Anniversary Special and the Christmas Special.
Writer Neil Gaiman garnered huge success in the world of Doctor Who when he gave a personality and voice to the TARDIS in the award-winning episode "The Doctor's Wife". Now, he's breathing new life into another of the series' most famous characters, the Cybermen, in "Nightmare in Silver", the twelfth and final episode before the season finale.
Doctor Who fans have been excited for over a year, ever since it was announced that Neil Gaiman (American Gods, The Sandman) would be returning to pen a second episode for the series. Initially titled "The Last Cyberman," it was later changed to "Nightmare in Silver," but little else was known about the contents of the episode. The BBC finally released a synopsis for the upcoming episode, and it sounds like Who fans should start getting excited.
Fans of Doctor Who, did you realize that an animated series was in the works at one point? Dan Norton recently revealed concept art for the Doctor Who animated series that never was.

It's Thursday, which means it's time for another Proud Mommy Moments!
For more info on what PMM is all about, see this post. Please make sure that if you're linking up, you're actually linking a Proud or Not-So-Proud Mommy moment (using the permalink. Not sure what a permalink is? Just ask me). Links not related to PMM will be deleted and deleting links makes me feel bad. Please don't make me feel bad.
Buddy's birthday brought out both the best behavior in him, but also the worst.
The worst arrived when it was time to share his gifts with his friends. At one point, I scooped him up, threw him over my shoulder, and carried him up to his bedroom, kicking and screaming. After a few threats of sending everyone home and giving away all of his new toys, he finally calmed down enough to play with his friends again.
Thankfully, that bad behavior was short-lived.
Buddy's best behavior was evidenced by him saying "thank you" more times in that single day than I think I've ever heard him say. At the end of the very long day (our last guests left just before midnight), he crawled into my lap, told me thank you, and said that he loved me very much. That's huge for my normally very reserved child.
Hearing heartfelt thank you's and I love you's makes all the hard work and a little bit of bad behavior worthwhile.
Okay! Now it's your turn. Type out your Proud, or maybe not-so-Proud Mommy Moment and link it up! Don't forget to check out Emmy's Proud Mommy Moment as well! One last thing, PMM isn't just for mom's…anyone can link up!

Pune: In a bid to strengthen the understanding of issues related to law and public life in contemporary South Asia, the Centre for South Asia at the Foundation for Liberal and Management Education (FLAME) hosted the LASSnet conference from December 27 to 30, 2010 at the FLAME campus. LASSnet (Law and Social Sciences Network) began in 2007 and is a unique network that unites academics, lawyers and activists. Since the first conference in Delhi in 2009, LASSnet has focused on creating a common forum between activists and academic work. Along with FLAME, the 2010 conference is co-organised by the Alternative Law Forum (Bangalore), the Centre for the Study of Society and Culture (Bangalore) and the Centre for the Study of Law and Governance (JNU).
The four days in Pune saw 49 panels along with three plenary sessions and two keynote addresses taking place at the FLAME campus. Leading names from different fields, including Flavia Agnes (lawyer), Pratap Bhanu Mehta (Director-Centre for Policy Research, Delhi), Ashwini Sukthankar (International Commission for Labour Rights), Sally Merry (Head of Anthropology, New York University), Upendra Baxi (Warwick University), Niraja Jayal (Jawaharlal Nehru University) and Marc Galenter (University of Wisconsin) lead plenary panels at this conference. Papers were presented by delegates from Columbia University, Harvard University, Yale University, Princeton University, Johns Hopkins University, Oxford University and attendees from Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka were present on the occassion.
The event also saw two book launches –
1. Dec 28, 2010 - Oxford University Press – Flavia Agnes, Family Law Volume I: Family Laws and Constitutional Claims
2. Dec 29, 2010 - Yoda Press – Arvind Narrain, Alok Gupta, Akshay Khanna, Mayur Suresh, Ponni Arasu and Siddharth Narrain, eds., Law Like Love: Queer Perspectives on Law
Speaking on the occasion Dr Maya Dodd, Director of FLAME Centre for South Asia said, "It is our endeavor to generate a historic intellectual meeting by hosting the LASSnet conference this year. FLAME will definitely prove to be the right institution to hold the LASSnet conference as our focus has always been on organizing symposiums, conferences, lectures, and screenings for educational purposes."
The Law and Social Science Research Network (LASSnet) was established to bring together scholars, lawyers and doctoral researchers engaged in the research and analysis of issues connected with the law and social sciences in contemporary South Asia. The idea was to create a common forum for the exchange of ideas, work, materials, pedagogies and aspirations from a range of different institutional locations and theoretical frameworks. The Centre for the Study of Law and Governance (Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi) anchors the Law and Social Sciences Research Network.

Hi, I'm Michelle & this is my Tumblr!
I'm Michelle MacPhearson. I do internet marketing.
Back in the day Tumblr was released and because I'm a bad ass, I got in early and got the coolest username ever - Michelle.
That's helpful because when I have to use my last name, my usernames get stupid long.
Anyway, this was way back when, and I was developing a system around using social media properties - like Tumblr - for link building. I know, it sounds like common sense now, (unless you're not in internet marketing, then it sounds like gobbeldygook) but back then it was a pretty new and fresh idea. So used used this michelle.tumblr.com account to build links to my other web properties and social media profiles by having it republish their RSS feeds automatically. I then promptly forgot it existed.
But now, years later, I really like what Tumblr has done with itself in terms of creating a flexible, simple platform with some really innovative social features built in (kinda like a Livejournal or Diaryland of 2001, but for geeks and with less cutting) - so I stopped the link building posts and am deciding what to do with this site - and it's bitchin' username.
There are quite a few projects that I've always wanted to work on - and make a bit o cash from - that I've never had the time or patience to put together. I'm super inspired by what my cousin Chelsea is doing at All Dressed Up With Nowhere To Go.
Unfortunately, my sense of fashion pales next to hers (right now I'm wearing grey yoga capris that I call my "Seal Pants" as they make my thighs look like 2 nursling seal pups). So I'm the last person you should be taking fashion advice from.
So while I'm not certain the direction (if any) we'll take here, I'm as interested as you in seeing where it ends up.
