This berry patch belongs to a neighbor. I plan to grow some at my house on rebar trellises, for easier maintenance and harvesting. See my trellis instructable when you are done with this one: http://www.instructables.com/id/A-REBAR-TRELLIS-for-Home-and-Garden/
Also, for further PVC working inspiration, see my instructable: http://www.instructables.com/id/PVC-Its-Great-for-Inventions/
Step 1: Safety
Vinyl Chloride, one of the components of PVC, is carcinogenic. When it is locked up in the polymer, however, it is much safer to be around. In my years of experience working with PVC, I have not noticed any adverse effects on my health from being around it.
Always work in areas with good ventilation. If you do get caught in a cloud of smoke, hold your breath and move to clean air.
When heating PVC with a gas stove or propane torch, try not to let it burn. Smoke from burning PVC is bad. With experience one burns it less and less. Don't panic the first time you do burn some. It scorches, but doesn't immediately burst into flame. Move the material away from the flame and try again. Don't breathe the smoke. Smoke avoidance comes naturally for most people.
While heating PVC over a gas flame, keep the plastic an appropriate distance from the flame. Avoid scorching the surface before the inside can warm up. It takes time for heat to travel to the center of the material being heated.
Keep the plastic moving, and keep an eye on the state of the plastic. When heated, the PVC material is flexible, like leather. Beyond this stage, you risk scorching it.
A word from James, the plastic engineer -- "Just a word of warning, PVC can handle some high heats but if it catches fire, you wont be able to put it out, it does not need oxygen to burn so don't do this inside".
I do work inside, but my house is made of cement and has good ventilation. MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE GOOD VENTILATION. IF YOU PLAY WITH FIRE, DO SO CAREFULLY.
mmh... interesting idea, could be useful for picking cherries also.
brilliant! Now I can reach into those brambles
oooooooooooooooh this is awesome
Instead of heating PVC on an open flame using a hot air gun is better as you get a better control of the process. However you still should be cautious of fumes and gazes.
Thanks for posting !…
HOW did I miss this great idea? No more standing on a step ladder trying to reach the cherries!
Thanks for sharing!
This is such a great tool. We used it to pick the good looking berries out of reach, and also to pull branches towards us and push nettles out of the way to pull the berries within reach by hand quickly and safely. Thank you so much Thinkenstein!!
At least the picker is ready for next year.
Do you have a web site for your farm or products? Is there a way to PM on this site so I don't have to post my email on this comments page?
Please tell me how you superimposed that image of the picker onto your other photo.
Keep inspiring and thinking creatively!!
My web site is www.angelfire.com/in2/manythings . Hope you enjoy it.
I think if you click on my icon it will take you to my profile, and from there you can send a private message.
I use a photo editing program called PhotoImpression that lets one work with layers and make collage images. It's a lot more user friendly than Photoshop is.
I like to use hot water to soften plastics though.
However, how many people have even this? I have yet to see it in my generation, for all they care about is what they look like.

While reading a text in Japanese, I came up with the phrase "何も言わなくなったから" I don't understand what the ~くない stands for. As far as know is used as the negative for of an adjective... but 言う is a verb! Is like 言わない (the negative form of 言う) was used as an i-adjective.. any thoughts? Thanks!

Theoretical adding of ない:
Therefore 言わなくなった does not come from another ない.
The adverb 言わなく modifies the verb なる in past tense.

August 21, 2013 - I love this little bag for change or small personal effects. It's cute and sturdy and the zipper is smooth.
Artisan: Motif
For women that have been marginalized by society in Bangladesh, Motif is a safe place they can call home while earning a living to provide for their families. Most of the women employed have experienced some form of discrimination or other scarring incident that has given them a social stigma, making it hard to find decent employment. Some of the women are former prostitutes, others have been affected by leprosy or other diseases, others still have been divorced or abandoned. At Motif the women find a safe place where they can earn a living, as well as share with the other women in a family-type atmosphere.
Motif prides itself on making unique lifestyle fabrics and accessories, and considers the quality and production of their designs, their good prices, timely deliveries, and strong relationships with customers stronger selling points than the fact that all their goods are fair trade -- something they think should be the norm rather than an exception.
Artisan Shireen
Several years ago Shireen's husband left her for another woman -- leaving her with no choice other than to move herself and her two children into her sister's already crowded home. Relationships were strained with this stressful living situation, and made worse by the fact that Shireen's nephews were very strict and did not allow her daughters to freely leave the house or pursue an education.
Luckily, Shireen learned from friends about Motif, and went to see if her skills would be useful to the company. They are -- and she has since become a major source of financial support for her family. She moved herself and daughters out of her sister's home, was able to give her sister a number of loans to support herself, and her daughters are now pursuing their educations. As a senior seamstress at Motif, she is great at training and encouraging the younger and newer women.
Artisan Nasma
Nasma became acquainted with Motif in 2003, when she was one of the manual laborers who was helping to complete the building. She had been fired from her job as a garment worker when she became pregnant, and laboring was the only job she could find that would let her keep her newborn son, Raju, with her on the job. As the staff came and went from the building they got to know her, and suggested she join the team.
She has been very successful -- within three months she was able to save enough money to help her husband, who is disabled due to leprosy, buy a rickshaw to cycle to help support the family, and within a year they had saved enough money that he was able to find work that was easier for him to perform. She also helped out her mother, who was then able to stop doing manual labor and take care of Raju full-time. And finally, in 2008, Nasma's son began attending school, becoming the first child in their family to become educated.

Main St., Lenox. Interment will be in North Fairview Cemetery in Lenox. Memorials may be given in Paul's name. Online condolences may be left at www.ritchiefuneralhome.com.
Paul Luverne Parkhurst, son of May (Hunsicker) and Orville Parkhurst, was born Jan. 19, 1936, at the family home southeast of Hatfield, Mo.
Paul attended grade school at Arrington country school. He started his high school years at Hatfield and attended Eagleville for his senior year, graduating in the spring of 1953.
Paul was a member of the Missouri National Guard from 1953-1959.
Paul graduated from Northwest Missouri State College in Maryville, Mo., in May 1957 with a Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture and physical education.
In the fall of 1957, Paul took jobs as acting principal, boys and girls basketball coach, teacher and school bus driver at Martinsville High School in Missouri.
On June 1, 1958, Paul married Phyllis Jean Martin at the Silver City Methodist Church in Iowa. They started up housekeeping in a country home west of Eagleville.
Paul taught at Martinsville through the spring of 1960. During the summer and the next two years, he worked at gas stations. During one of those years, he helped his father run the state line station south of Lamoni.
After accepting a teaching job at Corwith-Wesley School for the fall of 1962, Paul and his family moved to northern Iowa. He taught junior high science classes, coached junior high girls basketball and driver's education. He also drove a school bus route.
They moved to Corwith. Paul officiated basketball and football.
Paul received a stipend for a science class at the University of Omaha during the summer of 1963, so the family moved to Phyllis' parents and spent the summer on the farm.
In 1964, he started working toward a master's degree in elementary education administration from the University of Omaha. He received his master's degree in the fall of 1967.
In 1968, Paul became elementary school principal in Lenox. The family moved June 8, 1968, to Lenox. He served as elementary principal for the next 27 years, retiring in the spring of 1995.
Paul was a member of the Iowa State Education Association and lifetime member of the National Education Association.
Paul was a member of the United Methodist Church and Lenox Rotary, where he held several offices.
Paul spent summers from 1969-1995 painting with his friend Vernal.
Paul is survived by his wife Phyllis Parkhurst; children, Kirk (Candee) Parkhurst of Fremont, Mich., Kent Parkhurst of Lenox, Kristine (Bill) Herkelman of Cedar Rapids, Kreg (Morgan) Parkhurst of Waukee, Kimberly (Larry) Herring of Lone Tree and Kara (Mike) Larson of Corning; grandchildren, Kristin Boswell, Trisha Herring and Brett, Katie and Rachael Parkhurst; great-grandchildren, Trinity and Tristin Herring; brothers, Loren (Myra) Parkhurst and Carl (Gladys) Parkhurst; sister Viola Buckley; brother-in-law Marvin Richter; sisters-in-law, Beverly Parkhurst and Veva Jane Parkhurst; nieces, nephews and many friends.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents; in-laws, Garland and Edna Martin; brothers, Alvin and Rollan Parkhurst; half sister Melva Jean Ramsey; brothers-in-law, Lee Buckley and Dale Ramsey; sister-in-law Lois Richter; niece Leanna Buckley; great-niece Marlena Parkhurst; and special family member Karen McKee.

Are you miserable from Heartburn?
Silver Cross Hospital offers free lecture on relief from Heartburn & Preventing Esophagical Cancer
New Lenox, IL (September 25, 2013) — For people with sensitive digestive systems eating spicy hot sauce or greasy pepperoni pizza, can be a sure way to flare up a nasty case of heartburn. Millions of Americans experience heartburn symptoms at least once a week. There are many causes that can activate heartburn, including medications, specific foods, obesity, and even stress. Being aware of what ignites your heartburn will help you create a plan to avoid the uncomfortable condition. Silver Cross Hospital is offering a lecture on why it's important to find relief from heartburn to prevent the acid reflux from escalating.
Dr. Kamran Ayub, Medical Director of the Advanced Endoscopy Center at Silver Cross, will present a free program on Is it Only Heartburn? on Wednesday, Oct. 16 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Silver Cross Hospital, Pavilion A, Conference Center, 1890 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox. This program is aimed for people who suffer from chronic or severe heartburn. Dr. Ayub will discuss the risks and latest treatment options for heartburn, acid reflux or GERD, Barrett's esophagus and esophageal cancer. To register to attend visit www.silvercross.org or call 1-888-660-HEAL.
What is heartburn?
Heartburn typically is a painful, burning sensation in the chest after a heavy meal, or while bending over, lying on your back or lifting and occurs when the sphincter doesn't close completely. Acid from the stomach comes back up into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation. Other symptoms may include, chronic cough, chronic sore throat, persistent hiccups, sensation of having lump in the throat and trouble swallowing. Pregnant women often experience heartburn as the growing fetus increases intra-abdominal pressure.
Heartburn that won't go away needs medical attention because it may be a symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), pill or medication induced esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, cancer of the esophagus, ulcers or other gastrointestinal problems. Chest pain, for instance, can be a symptom of GERD, espphageal spasm, angina and heart attack. Pain from any of these can happen following a large meal.
"So, if you suffer severe or chronic heartburn or chest pain, it's vital you find out if your problem is digestive or cardiac," says said Kamran Ayub, M.D., Medical Director of the Advanced Endoscopy Center at Silver Cross.
For a person with Barrett's esophagus, Dr. Ayub says the risk of developing esophageal cancer is similar to the risk of developing colon cancer for patients who have a colon polyp. "It usually starts with GERD, which can cause Barrett' esophagus, which can lead to esophageal cancer," says Dr. Ayub. "That's why it's important to seek medical treatment for symptoms of GERD, the most common being heartburn."
There are a few simple tips to avoid heartburn which include:
- Eating slowly can help prevent bloating. There are also over-the-counter medications you can take before or up to 30 minutes after a meal that will reduce intestinal gas.
- Reduce portions of sugar. When sugar or fruit juice mixes with starch in the stomach, they cause bloating.
- Limit alcohol consumption, which can inflame the lining of the stomach and intestines.
- Avoid caffeine, which can cause you to overeat.
About Kamran Ayub, M.D.
Kamran Ayub, M.D.,is aboard certified gastroenterology physician at Silver Cross Hospital. Dr. Ayub completed a gastroenterology fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX and is considered an expert in endoscopic ultrasound, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and Barrett's Esophagus. He has published numerous papers and abstracts on this topic and has spoken extensively at national and international meetings. He has described new techniques of endoscopic ultrasound guided nerve blocks. His office is located with Southwest Gastroenterology, S.C. at 1890 Silver Cross Blvd Suite 455, New Lenox.

A massive tree floated into the Huron Boat Basin and Amphitheater sometime sometime early Tuesday — a direct result from area damage suffered from Superstorm Sandy. The city of Huron's workers will likely hire a crew — for less than $1,000, according to estimates — to remove the tree and clear the water of all other debris.
The debris didn't affect the minnow fishing for Carl Stillwell and Jeff Pfeiffer Thursday morning at the basin.

He drives with the best of them...his short game is second to none...but what usually separates Tiger Woods from the pack is his legendary aura. Tiger Woods is the sporting world's ultimate intimidator! He doesn't do it with bluster, anger, or brute force. He does it with an icy stare, intense concentration, and a will to win like few have had before. The best golfers in the world have melted under the pressure of Tiger Woods on a Sunday mission!

Starting on Sunday July 10th, CP doubles will change. In an effort to entice more casual players to come up and try CP dubs, we are reducing the cost back down to original levels. The cost will be :
Total Action $12 BASIC Action: $7 (It was $20 for total and $12 for basic)
$1 for the Park,
$1 for the Club,
$1 for Ace Fund,
3 Cash CTP's... (The shortest CTP will be a DOUBLE – meaning 2 bucks from every player goes in for that CTP)
$5 for the payout
Random Draw - all skill levels welcome
If you have not played Central Park in a while, come out to dubs and play the new layout. The fairways back in the new wooded holes have been recently mowed and a lot of work has been done. The course has as much variety as any in the metro area and the flow is much improved (much less walking green to tee).
The format for July 10th will be 27 holes from the red tee pads, with a shot gun start format, so you will be home in plenty of time for dinner.
We draw for doubles partners at 4 PM, get there at 3:30 and shop Wes Campbell's mobile boutique. Wes has all the latest discs in all weights, plastics, colors; bags, caps, towels, gadgets etc. You get to see and feel the discs before you buy and you won't have to pay shipping costs. You can even replace that old Whippet that you shattered last winter on #6 at ERP.
Hope to see you out here!!!

6 degrees F in Pittsburgh this morning. Brrrr.

it has been around -15C to -20C the last few days, toss in the wind chill factor and easy -30C
Today a bit warmer at -11C with wind chill -18C. There are snow banks here taller then I am and for us its only early winter yet. Another 15cm on the way tonight on our side, east coast of newfoundland tonight is getting another 30cm
On the 11th of Jan there was a big storm on the island. For the first time in the near 40 years I have been here we lost power for 12 hours. Thats a big problem when its cold like this. Most newer home are all electric heat so we get in trouble with no power. I think the east coast got 50cm with 110kph winds that night.
For us here, its common to get 5 to 10cm of snow per day, and 100kph winds are very common these days for some reason. Our winter start usually last week of October but nothing really stays on the ground until December. Late Dec to early March its just constant snow everyday. Around here you need a Honda snowblower if your in the higher area's and expect to use it 2-3 times per snowy day

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; email@example.com
PACT and Medication
Do all PACT members take medications?
When NAMI folks refer to PACT, we mean the program of assertive community treatment described in the PACT Model of Community-Based Treatment for Persons with Severe and Persistent Mental Illnesses: A Manual for PACT Start-Up, ("the PACT manual," for short) and in the National PACT Standards.
PACT teams are made up of a psychiatrist, social workers, peer specialists (people who are receiving or have received services for severe and persistent mental illness who are paid PACT staff), nurses, paraprofessional mental health workers, employment specialists, and substance abuse specialists. A qualified person who is recovering from a severe mental illness can hold any staff position on a PACT team. Many consumers find employment on an assertive community treatment team satisfying work.
Many people have questions about the role of medication in assertive community treatment. Two questions they ask most frequently-and the answers-are:
In PACT, do consumers have to take meds?
No. PACT consumers have choices, including a choice about taking medications. If a consumer does not want to take medication, he or she is not discharged or abandoned. PACT continues to work with consumers who do not want medications in other ways, such as with finding housing or a job or managing symptoms without medications.
Courts sometimes do order people to take medications, so some PACT members are legally required to follow that treatment. These people would have that requirement no matter where they got services, in a PACT program or in any other community mental health program.
Remember that people in the PACT program have supportive, give-and-take relationships with staff, including staff who are themselves recovering from a severe mental illness and know first-hand the benefits of and problems with taking meds. And staff can help people avoid involuntary hospitalization, homelessness, or returning to jail or prison.
If consumers do choose to take medication, do PACT staff come to their house every day to bring the meds and make sure they take them?
PACT teams do not deliver medications to most PACT consumers' homes. Rather, consumers develop their own individual strategies with staff help. When both agree medication would be helpful, they work out a strategy and schedule that make the best use of the medication's benefits, that works well with the consumer's daily routine.
Some strategies consumers use include things like putting medications in special containers so they're sorted by days or weeks to make it easier to remember to take them correctly. Sometimes staff just give reminders or arrange for the consumer pick up meds at the PACT team's office, if he or she wants to do that. And, yes, sometimes staff will deliver medications to a consumer's residence daily if that's what the consumer and staff think will work best.
The goal in PACT is for people who take medication to learn manage it on their own as part of their recovery.
Medication, when it's needed, is just one tool staff and consumers may use when they're working together for a better life for the consumer. Staff and consumers know it's just a single tool among many--like getting and keeping a place to live, or finding and staying in a job or in school, or learning to be comfortable with friendships and social activities. Like medication that helps with symptoms, all are ways to get better. When consumers and staff learn to use many tools well and make changes when individuals need a change, they are on their way to better managing their health and their lives.

Posted in Adopt-A-Star
Frequently Asked Questions
Why adopt a star from Orlando Science Center?
Orlando Science Center strives to provide science for everyone by creating opportunities for experiential science learning and promoting science literacy. Although there are many ways for you, your family or your company to support Orlando Science Center, the Adopt-A-Star program helps you celebrate an important event or honor someone special while becoming a friend to Orlando Science Center. Your charitable gift supports our mission, making a difference in the lives of Central Florida students, teachers and families for years to come.
Will I be able to see the star I have adopted?
Yes. Some stars may require telescopes for viewing depending on your location and the time of year. Most are visible using just your eyes. Orlando Science Center Astronomers can assist with any questions you may have locating and viewing your adopted star.
What does the Adopt-A-Star Certificate say?
Each Adopt-A-Star Certificate is personalized and includes; your name (or a recognition name), your star's official International Astronomical Union (IAU) designation, proper and common names, distance from Earth, constellation, magnitude and spectral type. You will also receive educational information and a star map to help locate your star.
How long is the adoption period?
The adoption date is for a period of one year. You may renew as often as you like. Many people choose to participate in the Adopt-A-Star program to commemorate a birth date, marriage date, anniversary, special holiday - you name it!
How are stars chosen for adoption?
Stars seen at night appear to have a wide range of brightness and were first put on a quantitative scale by the Greek astronomer Hipparchus around 130 BC. He arranged the visible stars in order of apparent brightness on a scale which ran from 1 to 6, with the brightest stars ranked "1". The ranks were called magnitudes; a star was said to be of the first magnitude, third magnitude, and so forth.
Astronomers today continue to rate the magnitude of a star with a scale that gives brighter stars a low number and dim stars a higher number. All of the stars available for adoption from Orlando Science Center have a magnitude of 1, 2 or 3. Generally speaking, from a populated urban area, stars of magnitude 3 are usually visible to the eye without the aid of a telescope.
After I place my order, how long until I receive my Adopt-A-Star packet?
Packets are shipped in the order they are received. Depending on your location, you should receive your Adopt-A-Star packet in approximately one to two weeks. You can authorize an additional charge for United States Postal Service (USPS) priority delivery or FedEx to ensure quicker delivery.
Can certificates say "in memory of" or "in honor of"?
Absolutely. You may also wish to include a personal message.

Should we aim for mediocrity?
As children in modern day society we are all told to reach for the stars. The idea that you can be or do anything you want to...but more often than not if those dreams are at odds with convention they are branded as 'silly' or 'impracticable'.
What to do? Dream or aim for mediocrity?
edward long
Nov 27 2012: You need not aim for mediocrity. Rather, you must flee from it. Just ignore all your ideas and dreams for improving the way things are and mediocrity will overtake you and claim you as its own. Take one of your ideas, one of your dreams, no matter how simple, and do all that you are willing to do to see it realized. Trying is both meaningful and satisfying. Refusing to try is both meaningless and detrimental. Judging success or failure is extremely subjective and difficult to assess. Trying is very easy to assess. . . either you try, or you don't. Try, try again.

Dec 11 2012: And that is the embodiment of TED.
Marlon Jones
Nov 28 2012: As a father of two daughters I'm not in the doubting business. It is vitally important that they dream and not just wish. I was listening to an NPR interview with Dolly Parton and she identified the distinction between wishing and dreaming. Wishing is more imaginative but not necessarily to the point of action. Dreaming on the other hand carries with it the element of potential to acheive. While her distinction may not me definitive, I can subscribe to it. Poetry is uplifting and I stress to my daughters the following poem a portion of which follows:

It Couldn't Be Done By Edgar Albert Guest
Somebody said that it couldn't be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't," but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it!Nov 27 2012: Aim low and you will shoot low; aim high and you will shoot high!Nov 27 2012: Neither amiming for the stars nor mediocrity. How I see it is that everyone's aim should be located inside not outside. Then the outcome should not be a subject of any kind of objective comparison, as it would be unique.
Lejan .
Nov 29 2012: Who is scared by mediocrity may just work on its self-esteem. Sure we should go for what we wish for, as this is usually the most stronges motivation within us, yet we should also learn to fail and to find good compromise to avoid frustration and to loose all our faith.
- +1
This is why we have 'falling stars', so we can stay 'down to earth' while collecting them... ;o)
Kareem Fahim
Nov 28 2012: I think everybody dreams to get higher. The problem is how people cope with failure, great people try harder until they reach what they initially wished for whilst other just adopt mediocrity
- +1
I recommend this amazing Ted talk: TEDxKarachi 2011 - Imran Khan - Never Give up on Your Dreams
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmbs8ihPrlgNov 27 2012: The only thing thats 'silly and impractical'' is mediocrity itself.
Nothing is more silly than having one life to live and to live it solely in the style of a cog in a machine
and nothing is more financially and creatively more impractical than living in the way of the status quo.
Always keep dreaming and reaching for better things and to hell with those who ridicule you for it.
If their opinions don't matter when you're at the top, then they don't matter when you're on your way.Dec 5 2012: Just do and try. If it turns out to be mediocre, fine. At least you can say that you tried to do something that is meaningful to you.Nov 30 2012: I'm sure that we all remember what Samuel Beckett said that encourages trying and not giving up.
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." If the "thing" that one is trying to do is logically possible I wholeheartedly support the pursuit because success is not really fully realized unless one has experienced failure by which to contrast itNov 29 2012: Two adages:
"Some men are born to greatness; others have greatness thrust upon them."
"Most people will not do great things, but they can do small things in a great way."
I find that, in terms of our lives, society has penned so many fantastic stories hitherto that it is difficult to become a part of history oneself. But that is because of a fervent desire of the world to take things out of context. Behind every great event or person there were others who helped to achieve that goal. While history might not remember them verbatim, they contributed to something bigger than themselves. A great man once said something like this: "It is amazing what people can get done if they don't care who gets the credit."
We should strive to place ourselves in positions that, when a certain door is opened, we can do all the good we can for all the people we can in all the ways we can wherever we can. And maybe take pretty good care of ourselves and family along the way...

Everybody should aim at a star-through-mediocrity.
It is because one can not be a star without thinking to be a star. And one has to be a mediocrity if the objective conditions do not permit one to be a star.
This is determined by one's brain ability and the situation in which he or she is in.
(For details, see the 1st article, point 15, at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents.)Nov 28 2012: Somehow this seems relevant too... http://youtu.be/8nif01WZ9aINov 28 2012: So many things that we do during the day are not important. Somethings are get-it-done others are more important. This is obvious. Always keep the obvious in mind too.Nov 27 2012: You write that children today are all advised to reach for the stars. It is wonderful, I think, that you get that message to try for things that are challenging. This advice is only good. Many people do not realize that kids today are given that message.
Then you say that if dreams are at odds with convention, they are branded silly or impractical. For this claim, I would love to see an example, because I have a feeling that that might be a bit of exaggeration.
Here is why I am asking. I noticed a few months ago on TED a few cases of young people, maybe fifteen years old, distraught because they felt they would never be another Isaac Newton or Einstein in physics. Because of this thought- that they might not become figures of that stature in the area that interested them, they felt they needed to quit physics and become something ordinary, "like an engineer."
This is where that advice to reach for the stars starts sometimes to seem a bit oversimplified to be helpful. There is nothing wrong with studying hard to try to be one in a billion in terms of attainment in your field but it is a problem if ones dreams are so narrowly defined.
I spent a chunk of my professional life working with, and doing programming for, highly gifted adolescents and teens. I have seen too many young people veer away from the subject they were most passionate about because some other kid or four at school was better at it and also working hard at it.
This was a loss to the kid and also potentially for the world.
There is a big difference between mediocrity and Isaac Newton. Aiming to be outstanding in something or things you care about is a gratifying version of reaching for the stars. It is good to have some challenging intermediate steps as well that you can work hard toward and feel great about when you attain them.Nov 27 2012: The collective would have you believe in mediocrity.
The very substance of life is made of dreams.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc7oZ9yWqO4Nov 27 2012: i always felt that "aim for the stars" or even "aim high" a little oversimplified. one might think naturally that aiming the right height is good, any higher or lower is not. the question is, how much would you sacrifice? everything? hope not. your life? other's life? your youth? your health? friends? other goals? what if you are wrong? what if the desired goal turns out to be fool's gold? and why would you set goals that far ahead? why don't just leave the possibility open? why not "go with the flow"?Nov 27 2012: I found in history true innovation is branded foolish or crazy for many years and is only branded differently when leaders take up the idea and carry it forward. Henry David Thoreau was just a man who denied to pay taxes and was punished until Gandhi used his methods and added his own spice to make true innovation and change in how individuals deal with hardships. I think if you aim for mediocrity you are fully obliged to reach averageness, but I do not think we are faulted with aiming too high in life it is that we are not aiming high enough. I do not remember where I heard that last part, but it has proven true time and time again. Change and innovation only wait for people who are not willing to settle to convention.Nov 27 2012: "What to do? Dream or aim for mediocrity?"
Dream, but make your dreams about something other than your career. Put the effort in your private life. That's not going to be enough for some people, but they can put all their efforts into their careers, while most people wouldn't really miss being a vice president if they had a better private life. A higher than average corporate position (which is the only claim to fame of most "successful" people) does not really mean you have a successful life. On the other hand it's important for young people to know that if they are smart and work hard enough they can, in principle, become an astronaut or prime minister, even if they weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouths, that requires affordable education and meritocratic institutions.

Elizabeth Newark first published this novel in 1999. Now Sourcebooks republishes it with both a beautiful new cover and very nice artwork - not illustrations - in the inside, before each chapter, as well as an appropriately chosen quotation from one of the novels by Charlotte Brontë.Jane Eyre's Daughter
By: Elizabeth Newark
Product ISBN: 9781402212376
Price: $12.95
Publication Date: September 2008
The book opens with Jane Eyre's daughter recalling a moment of her mother's life: Jane Rochester (née Eyre) is in church with her two children but, as the Reverend Pimlico-Smythe insists on expounding on the necessity of women bringing 'forth [their] children in pain', she takes them by the hand and leads them calmly out of the church. This episode acts as a prologue, it introduces us to this new, mother-of-two Jane, whom we left writing her memoirs after her marriage and - to our knowledge - with only one child who looked like his father.
But Jane Rochester has left the spotlight in this new novel, and save for this episode and a few others, it is her daughter, Janet Rochester, who is at the forefront of the narrative. When we meet her, and she tells us her story firsthand, just like her mother did before her, she's on the cusp of womanhood, takes after both her parents, and is about to go to a finishing school in London. When Janet speaks of her mother, it is quite remotely. She says her mother has always been a distant figure to her, more preoccupied with her brother Oliver than with her daughter. It is this and other small things that make us think that Elizabeth Newark either didn't like the character of Jane Eyre originally or she has portrayed her erroneously - at least as far as our perception of this heroine goes. But that isn't of much importance as this is her daughter's tale.
Despite the title, Jane is, as we say, barely there. The book would have been more appropriately called - and equally marketable - Rochester's Daughter. For it is Edward Rochester who is closer to his daughter and certainly it is his daughter who truly idolises him, to the point sometimes of nursing a certain degree of Electra complex. We all like Mr Rochester, even if he's maimed and blinded, but there are things we would rather not hear his daughter say! This middle-aged Agamemnon is now an enthusiast of landscape gardening, which falls in nicely with the fact that he was an avid botanist in Jane Eyre 2006.
Janet struggles to find her role in her tightly knit family and thus - although she goes reluctantly - will derive much benefit from attending a finishing school and developing her true character. It is when she's free from her parents and brother and - on another level - when Elizabeth Newark lets go ever so slightly of the well-known characters when the narrative gets better. Janet's story is not without its intrigues and adventures and, though certainly not similar in style to its parent book, these chapters of Jane Eyre's Daughter make for some quick, entertaining, grabbing reading.
In a similar vein, it is our opinion that the book would have actually benefited from a further detachment from the original novel. Sometimes the amount of characters (or characters related to characters), places, parallels and sentences lifted from the original is a little too overwhelming. And there are also a few nearly subliminal references to other Brontë works. But, as before, it is the episodes which are freer from the influence of Jane Eyre which are, in our humble opinion, best of all.
Jane Eyre's Daughter can be read from several perspectives. We suppose it's being sold as a sequel, given the characters and sequence of events, but a large part of it also reads like a retelling. Lovers of Jane Eyre will be able to amuse themselves by tracing parallels with the original novel. But it doesn't stop there. The book can also be read as fan fiction, of course. Up until now, and with a few - very few - exceptions, Emma Tennant has reigned supreme in the field of Jane Eyre romance-oriented sequels. And both these writers - Emma Tennant and now Elizabeth Newark - have opted for following an almost exclusive romantic approach in their books, with just a few lazy stabs at something a little deeper in their novels. And, less unexpectedly, as a 'sequel' to Charlotte Brontë's juvenilia. We are unaware whether Elizabeth Newark had this in mind when she put pen to paper, but many instances of Jane Eyre's Daughter - some of the characters and their relations to each other, some of the settings, some of the actions, some of the personalities and trains of thought - are highly reminiscent of Brontë's juvenilia. And this, strange as it sounds, is the most interesting, as well as our favourite, viewpoint to approach the novel.
It all boils down to this: if you like Jane Eyre and don't need your reads to be all highbrow all the time, if you're looking for the kind of book which you can read in one sitting accompanied by an endless supply of hot tea, then this is it.

INDIANAPOLIS—Thanksgiving is a time when many Hoosiers will gather with friends and family to give thanks and enjoy a meal together. While enjoying this food-centric holiday, follow a few simple steps to prevent foodborne illnesses from ruining the festivities.
"The single best way to prepare and consume food safely is to wash your hands before cooking, serving or eating," said State Health Commissioner Gregory Larkin, M.D. "That's especially important if you've been handling raw meat."
Food temperature is also important. If food will be served hot, make sure to cook it fully before serving it. On the other hand, if a food is intended to be served cold, keep it cold. For example, if a cold pasta salad is being served, store it in a refrigerator or a cooler (at or below 40° F) and put it out on the table right before dinner. Do not let food that should stay cold sit out for longer than two hours.
Another effective technique to avoid foodborne illness is to buy a meat thermometer and use it to make sure that meat is cooked to its appropriate temperature. When preparing a turkey, the minimum internal temperature must reach 165° F for safety. If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the turkey until the juices run clear.
Dr. Larkin recommends the following additional tips for a safe and happy Thanksgiving meal:
· Wash all produce thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting or cooking. Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fresh fruits and vegetables.
· Check the refrigerator prior to food preparation for space and temperature. Use an appliance thermometer to ensure the temperature is at or below 40° F.
· Plan for thawing time. The safest way to thaw a whole turkey is in the refrigerator, so allow 24 hours thawing for each four to five pounds of turkey.
· Have one or more food thermometers on hand to measure the temperature of turkey, other meats, seafood, side dishes and casseroles. A conventional thermometer should be used in addition to any pop-up indicator that may be on a turkey.
· Have plenty of paper towels or clean cloth towels on hand for cleaning of surfaces, drying hands and for blotting dry fresh fruits and vegetables after rinsing. When using cloth towels, wash them often in the hot cycle of your washer.
· Have shallow storage containers with lids on hand for safely storing leftovers within two hours of dinner.
· If guests offer to contribute a dish to the festivities, ask them to bring items that don't require refrigeration, such as bread, rolls, beverages or cookies and cakes without cream or egg fillings.
· Plan to have a cooler of ice on hand to store beverages, freeing up refrigerator space and helping to avoid having guests going in and out of the refrigerator during meal preparation.
· Anyone experiencing illness such as diarrhea, vomiting, cramps and/or sore throat with fever should not prepare or serve food to others.
Have questions about thawing or cooking a turkey? Experts are just a phone call away at the USDA meat and poultry hotline, 1-888-MPHOTLINE (1-888-674-6854). The hotline operates Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET and will operate on Thanksgiving Day from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET.
