Buying shoes can be a really daunting task depending on what kind of shoes you looking for. Of course many people (ladies AND men included) do enjoy shopping for shoes. This would be evident if you see their closets that hold nothing but shoes, and their clothes have to be relocated to an add on section in their room aside from the walk in closet. Bring your focus onto mountaineering, alpine, tech and hiking approach shoes. We all want a great approach shoe that isn going to leave you with sore feet and blisters that will cause you grief for days after you go on that mountaineering trip or climbing on the Via Ferrata. So where do you start? There are so many different approach shoes out there to choose from, and you surely have to get the shoes at least a week before going on the trip to break them in right? Think again. How does footwear sound? How about wearing shoes right out of the box, going on a hike, climbing on vie ferrate all day and hiking back down a mountain without getting any blisters and still feeling comfort as if the shoes have been broken in for weeks? This is what you find in Salewa footwear. Everybody feet are different. When you factor in the characteristics of a foot, there is a wide range of things that many footwear companies may not consider or take the time to think about. Salewa not only acknowledged foot diversity, but they also recognized that limiting the freedom of movement in a mountaineer foot is one of the greatest mistakes you could make. There are a few things that contribute to the comfort of Salewa footwear. The foot bed of their shoes consists of three layers. The top layer is the Salewa anatomic foot bed. The second layer is a custom fit layer, and the third is a Salewa multi fit foot bed. This allows for an individual height customization. On the outer part of the shoe, there is something called the Salewa that is anatomically positioned around the malleolar pads (the two rounded protuberances on each side of the ankle) that connects to a 3D locking system through power wires. This supports the heel without impact on the Achilles tendon. It allows you to customize the shoe into three individual lacing zones which contributes to the blister free experience. With Salewa 3F system, you will have flexibility and freedom of movement where you need it in addition to providing hold where it is needed as well. The extended technical climbing lacing towards the front of the shoe allows for adjustment to your personal needs for more support and performance. The grip on these approach shoes is pleasantly sticky while climbing due to the rubber rands and Vibram outsole. It not only gripped the rocks while climbing but also made for a more stable hike back down the canyon. Salewa footwear division definitely knows what they doing when it comes to approach shoes. These are highly recommended if you want comfort, flexibility, great support and a blister free foot before, during and after your mountaineering experience. When she's not writing or doing her coordinating work in administration, she loves to attack the next challenging climbing route on her to do list, adventure with canyoneering through the beautiful canyons of Utah, rappel off high cliffs with her son, and cook up some mean Dutch oven meals after a full day of outdoor ventures. The outdoors also gives her inspiration for her writing and composing of music to experiment with on her piano. There doesn't seem to be enough time in the day to conquer all the climbs or outdoor activities that she'd like, but she takes advantage of as many opportunities that she can to enjoy what she loves with her son, family and friends. For young ladies, a popular choice throughout the years has been a cheerleader. But what do cheerleaders dress as?

Many fail because of somethng as simple as having too many or too few plays in their playbooks. A two year study of the best and worst youth teams in the country showed that on average the teams at the top of their respective leagues had "playbooks" that consisted of between just 8 and 18 football plays. Even teams in the 13 14 age group that consistently won, executed just a handful of football plays perfectly, no matter the offense they were running. On the flipside the teams that consistently were at the bottom of the standings had playbooks of 30,40 even 60 plays. The play number and mix matrix is dependent on the age and experience levels of your players, but rarely goes above the players age plus 2. So if you have a team of 9 10 year olds, the number of plays should not be more than 11 12. Here are a few quick coaching tips on number of plays to have in your playbook: For the first game even with 3 weeks or less practice time, most youth coaches can get in a series of 6 football plays. By get in, we mean they are running these plays 19 out of 20 times perfectly on air against no defense. For many youth football teams at the younger age of the spectrum, these 6 plays are often all the team needs for the entire season. In 2002, the first year I ran the Single Wing Offense, this was all we ran and went 11 0. As the age and experience levels of your teams change along with your coaching expertise, the play numbers change as well. In 2006 we had about 18 plays we could run 19 out of 20 times perfectly on air and qualify to be part of our game day playbook. For most teams after the "Perfect Six" are perfected, it is time to look at your teams strengths and add in other series. The speed which you put the offense in depends on how fast your kids perfect each play in the sequence. My more experienced teams have often had 16 plays in before the first game, bu that is very rare; I've also had teams that just had the 6 in also. Remember you have the entire season to put in the offense, don't get too far ahead of yourself. This article was brought to you by Dave Cisar. Dave is a nationally known expert in the area of youth football coaching. His teams have compiled an amazing 97% wins in fall football using this system.

Women Nike Free Run 3 Wolf Grey Prism Blue Volt,Oh January the month my Facebook feed fills up with postsof sick children and frustrated parents. Sick babies are the worst because you are SO limited in what you can do for them. When they can breathe, your best option is to get out the humidifier. It moistens the air, allowing them a wee bit of comfort when they are so miserable. Parents can choose from both cool mist and warm mist humidifiers. I prefer warm mist, but with little ones, most people use cool mist to make sure no one gets burned. Don have one? You in luck. I got six that should fit any style or design either in your nursery or other rooms of your home. When you are done using it, make sure you clean it. If you don it can harbor bacteria and you definitely don want that being emitted into the air. A few tips courtesy of Crane and Wikipedia: 1) Empty your water tank and/or basin every morning and make sure it dries. 2) Depending on the type of humidifier you have, you may need to demineralize it every now and then. (We had to do this with our old Vicks one.) Simply soak the area in white vinegar for a few hours and then rinse. 3) If you are using it often (especially in the winter months), do a simple vinegar rinse every three days.

Cheap Authentic Mens Women Nike Free Run 3 Wolf Grey Prism Blue Volt,Men Nike Free Run 3.0 V4 Gym Red Reflective Silver Pro Platinum My metro area is fairly big, so I have a lot of options. I am not one of them. Some spray disinfectant and a sunny day and I'm good to go. Check for stains, runs, rips etc. I use curtains and sheets for sewing projects, tins and boxes for decoupage. In my area, most stores offer a discount on certain items each day (for example, all red tags 50% off). That's wonder. Some people absolutely refuse to buy used shoes. I am not one of them. Some spray disinfectant and a sunny day and I'm good to go. I do have a few rules for shoes, though: 1 Condition is everything. Are the soles worn out, stitching coming apart, buckles missing, anything that would cause you to take them to the repair shop? 99% of the time, I wouldn't buy that pair. 2 What do I want the shoes for? To match a certain outfit, or simply because they're too cool to resist? Yes, I'm guilty of that see the boots in the picture! Thrift store shoes are best when not worn daily, unless they're in perfect condition when purchased.

This is a story about what home can mean to those fortunate enough to have spent their early lives in a place with a family history. It opens when the three Adams children face the fateful summer when Maiden Run seems besieged. The echoes of that summer sound in each of their lives thereafter. The theme of what is so often lost to "progress" runs through the story the way Maiden Run flows through the farm. Finally, the Adams children must deal each in his or her own way with how to continue without that place, and we are reminded of how deep some roots grow.

Maiden Run based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
4.0 out of 5 stars A Battle With Progress!, July 1, 2009 By Viviane Crystal (New York, USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) This review is from: Maiden Run (Kindle Edition) Julia and her sister, Stella, are returning to their childhood home, Maiden Run, where their elder brother, Tom, and his wife have called them to make a final decision about possibly losing the farm they love. It's a tough decision as the farm just isn't running enough of a profit to live. The plot involves some tender memories and love of the land that seem to be rapidly disappearing in the newest generation's yearning for malls, expressways and even the wealth stemming from the discovery of gas and/or oil Julia's sister, Stella, represents the bohemian generation of the 60s, yearning for artistic fulfillment and rebelling against anything slightly suggestive of tradition and less than modern way of living. The plot pivots back and forth between the pre-WWII years, the war and the decades following up to the late 1960s. Central Ohio may not be as fast and focused as New York City and other well-known metropolitan areas but it's ripe for development. The vision of those who desire Maiden Run knows no limit beyond its self-absorbed, greedy plans. As we learn about the Adams siblings, the reader also meets Stella's friend who has tendencies way beyond those acceptable in this bucolic village and whose behavior provokes threats of revenge for momentous choices made by the siblings. A lovely sub-plot looms below the surface of the land's value as a former Native American tribal ground, and this inclusion adds potency to the natural love of the land that Julia, her father, Tom and his bride-to-be strongly sense and defend when the vultures descend. Maiden Run is a finely-written, poignant story that develops slowly, interlaced with artistic depictions of the landscape that one can appreciate with all five senses through vicarious imaginings. It's a story of a bygone era, where family connections rule the day and immersion into one's environment is an all-powerful, symbolic part of one's maturation process. It's more about character and evolution than it is for empty, fast-paced action loaded with sex. It reminded this reviewer of the novels of Debbie Macomber and Linda Lael Miller, meriting praise for sure! A charming, read, Ms. Cannon! Reviewed by Viviane Crystal on July 1, 2009

Patient Comments: Acute Bronchitis - Experience
Please describe your experience with acute bronchitis.
Comment from: Angela, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: March 30
I have had this hacking cough for 4 weeks now. I felt too ill to go to surgery, so doctor came to me. I had fevers and ached all over, and headache and sore eyes. He gave me penicillin and steroids. It damped things down a bit but the wheezy cough was still bad. I rang out-of-hours doctor, told him doxycycline had worked for bronchitis in the past. I have been taking it for 3 days now and still have thick mucus on chest, sometimes white sometimes yellow! I still feel really tired all the time and unwell. Life feels like it is going by without me, I can't wait to feel well again!
Comment from: Kim, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: February 10
I thought it was a cold. I was coughing with very bad of phlegm. After 2 weeks I went to my doctor. She gave me antibiotic and prescription cough medicine. Well, the cough medicines didn't stop cough, but made me get up the phlegm. Well, it is worse in the night. Every night I cough for about 1 hour before I fall asleep. I get up to go to the bathroom and then am coughing again for about half hour till I fall asleep. It has been 5 weeks today, I just wish it would stop. I had this last year and it is awful. My conclusion is it is bronchitis. Doctor said my lungs are filled with phlegm. I don't wish this on any one, it drains you.
Comment from: glamirand, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: October 08
I had an upper respiratory episode (with persistent cough) in April, which was treated and went away. The 3rd week of July I developed bronchitis problems again. This time, coughing (severe at times) producing mucus, upper respiratory and chest congestion; no fever. The mucus and cough have continued and this is October 7. I have seen my primary, ENT, and pulmonology specialist. I have had x-ray, mucus infection test (negative), nebulizer treatment, and inhalers. The symptoms seem to improve some, but will not go away. I have a breathing test this week. I am on Singulair, Mucinex, nasal spray, Equate, Delsym, and other medicines. My dermatologist took me off Otezla (for psoriasis) as it sometimes causes these side effects. I have seen a small change in symptoms but still going on. Honestly, I do not know what is wrong with me and apparently neither do my doctors. I will have to see how the breathing test and absence of Otezla goes.
Comment from: Colimixin, Female (Patient) Published: May 27
I get acute bronchitis when the flu is going around or whatever is going around. I always end up with bronchitis. This time it was brought on with inhaling (not on purpose) propane in a warehouse. My chest felt heavy like I needed an inhaler. The next couple of days I wasn't feeling well. I felt tired and was coughing. No temperature, a slight sore throat.
Comment from: Karen, 65-74 Female (Patient) Published: January 08
I started out with a sore throat, then the dry coughing. I saw my doctor first week, and went on antibiotics. Second week I went to see my doctor as I had a lot of fluid behind my ears. Third week I was feeling a little better, then I started going downhill again. I went to a walk in clinic found out I had bronchitis and an ear infection. He gave me 2 different type of puffers, and eardrops. Fourth week I was feeling worse. I made another trip to my doctor, where she said I had acute bronchitis and put me on prednisone. But I cannot seem to get rid of this cough and it is very nerve wracking to say the least. I am tired all the time because I can't sleep, and I have missed 2 weeks plus of work. I just want my life back. I drink lots of water and tea. I have found actually that nothing over the counter has helped me and neither does it seem, have the prescriptions from the doctor. Thanks for listening, no I am not much help to anyone, but this is what I have gone through.
Comment from: Elina M., 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: February 03
Acute bronchitis is contagious. The next question arises as to how long bronchitis is contagious. The answer to this is it can last for as little as a few days to three weeks, and will often follow a viral infection like the flu or cold. Acute bronchitis is more severe than an average cold, but not as serious as pneumonia.

This was shot near Shandon Bells after we braved the heights of the tower to shoot the City of Cork. Now take your minds out of the gutter. 🙂
I really must upload some of that day's shoots to Pixie!

nice….in a soft focus 1970's kind of way. It doesn't look like a February shot………which is good.
great shot. superbly glowy 🙂
I only got the title now!!! I think it is the desensitisation of my mother calling cats 'lovely little pussies' for the last 30 years.

Eric Church Joins Kenny Chesney's Big Revival Tour for Five Stadium Shows
As if Kenny Chesney's Big Revival Tour could get any bigger, Eric Church has announced he'll be joining the superstar for five stadium shows!
As if Kenny Chesney's Big Revival Tour could get any bigger, Eric Church has announced he'll be joining the superstar for five stadium shows!
Modern edge met classic style as Eric Church joined George Strait on stage at the 2014 CMA Awards to perform Strait's hit 'Cowboys Like Us' from his 2003 album 'Honkytonkville.'
Eric Church struggled after signing his current record deal, but did you know it wasn't his first offer? Nope -- Church could barely drive when Nashville suits came calling, but he turned them down. Find out why in this episode of 'You Think You Know Country?'
His Outsiders World Tour has been exceptionally successful, so Eric Church is adding a second leg. The run includes stops in Nashville, Las Vegas, San Jose and many more cities.
Eric Church is offering fans attending his "Outsiders" tour a special treat. He's selling an exclusive line of Lucchese boots at each show, but you can only get them if you buy a VIP ticket, or purchase a VIP upgrade...
Eric Church and wife Katherine are putting their good hearts together for a great cause. The couple are launching their very own charity, Chief Cares.
Country's biggest stars have taken the challenge -- the Ice Bucket Challenge! It turns out, dumping a bucket (or many buckets) of freezing cold water on your noggin brings in lots of money for ALS, as millions of dollars have been raised since Blake Shelton and company started taking the plunge.
One more week to go. If Maddie & Tae are victorious this week, 'Girl in a Country Song' will make its way into the Video Shootout Hall of Fame. But they've got some stiff competition.
On stage, Eric Church plays with fire -- literally. He shouts and cusses, and gestures to band mates to get them riled up. He'll pump a fist and point at the crowd like an angry football coach. The 'The Outsiders' singer forever seems one wrong word away from raging, and his fans love him for it. Off stage ... it's a different story.
Sometimes a country boy (or girl) chooses comfort over classy. With temps pushing 90 across much of the country, this was the week to stay cool in country music with fitted T-shirts! Between scoop necks, graphic tees, plain and chest-hugging tees -- there was a lot to look at.
Some of the biggest stars in Country Music joined George Strait for his final stop on 'The Cowboy Rides Away' Tour.
The 2014 CMT Music Awards will be full of country music stars on the red carpet and on stage. Luke Bryan and Eric Church are among the superstars that will light up the stage with their hits, making for an entertaining evening.

At the Colleges of Law, we offer a flexible, part-time evening J.D. program tailored to meet the needs of busy, working adults who place a high value on academic excellence and reasonable cost.
Upon graduation, a student is awarded a Juris Doctor degree and is academically eligible to sit for the California Bar Examination.
J.D. students complete 84 credits in 3-1/2 to 4 years and attend most classes on campus. Required courses emphasize traditional subjects—including all subjects on the California Bar Exam—and skills such as legal research. During summer, students take elective courses highlighting specialty areas of law practice. For details, visit our J.D. Curriculum page.
Using the "case study" method, professors help students learn to "think like lawyers." Before class, students read and prepare brief summaries of historical court opinions—to build understanding of how courts use legal principles to decide cases. During class, professors lead follow-up discussions about those cases—often exploring hypothetical variations of the facts—to deepen understanding and help students develop skill in resolving new legal problems.

Netflix's new docu-series tackles a fascinating story of a community college that serves as the final stop for dozens of potential superstars.
A Comic-Con 2016 report from the "Creating Universes" panel, featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, Len Wein, Bill Prady and Peter S. Beagle.
Here is a French movie about a family that is unhappy in so manydifferent ways that death is not a defeat but an escape. It is about theway a hurt in childhood can bend and shape an adult life years later,and about the way guilt may make us regret being selfish, but isunlikely to make us generous. It is a sad film, but not a depressingone; to some degree it is a comedy.
Andre Techine's "My Favorite Season" is one of those intriguing films that functions without a plot, and uses instead an intensecuriosity about its characters. As it opens, an old woman (MartheVillalonga) has reached the point where she should no longer live alone.
Her daughter (Catherine Deneuve) brings her home to live with herfamily, which includes a daughter (Chiara Mastroianni), an adopted son(Anthony Prada) and the son's uninhibited Moroccan girlfriend (CarmenChaplin). There is also a husband (Jean-Pierre Bouvier), who is remotefrom the others.
The mother is not happy in the family's bourgeois home inToulouse. She sits by the swimming pool in the middle of the night,talking fretfully under her breath ("Sometimes I talk to myself--it'sless exhausting than talking to someone else"). Deneuve goes to pay avisit on her unmarried younger brother (Daniel Auteuil), whom she hasnot seen for three years, since they quarreled at their father'sfuneral. He is invited to a Christmas dinner for the entire family. Soonwe will find that Christmas is probably not anyone's favoriteseason.
Techine, the former critic who directed this film from ascreenplay by Claudine Taulere, doesn't set up the story in terms ofgoals and setbacks. He is content to sit on the sidelines and watch,bemused. For a time we watch the behavior of the children. Auteuil walksin on Prada and Chaplin as they are making love, and later Prada andMastroianni repair to his bedroom with Chaplin and convince her to do astriptease. She is in the middle of it when their father walks in,distractedly, and leaves again. This family has so much on its mind thatstrange adolescent sexual behavior hardly registers.
There is, we gather, a lot of bad blood in the past. The husbandis not pleased to see his brother-in-law. The brother-in-law lockshimself in the toilet and makes resolutions ("Be nice, express aninterest, don't get carried away"). The evening ends in a fistfight,and blood is shed--not much, but enough to convince the old mother thatshe should return to her home and no longer test her daughter'shospitality.
Now what about Deneuve and Auteuil? What happened in theirchildhood that has made them so skittish today? It becomes clear thatAuteuil passionately loves Deneuve, probably not in an incestuous way,but more in a possessive way. She was like a mother and a heroine tohim, and when she got married and left home, a wound opened up in hissoul that has never healed. He prays for an end to Deneuve's marriage,and he nurses hopes that perhaps they can set up a household together.
The fate of the mother seems forgotten at times.
We watch this movie with interest because it watches itscharacters with interest. They behave with the unpredictability of realpeople. At one point, angry and disturbed, Deneuve deliberately slidesan expensive china clock off a mantel, allowing it to crash into pieces.
Why? Because it's what she felt like doing. The movie feels no need toexplain every action.
There are perfect little moments in the film. A woman in a cafe,singing, "One day, he will die." Deneuve's memory of how her mothercould find mushrooms in the woods "like an animal." Auteuil droppingfrom the balcony of his room deliberately to break his leg (we are leftto decide if he is acting out of self-loathing, or from a desire toinspire his sister's pity). You leave this movie in the same way youleave family gatherings, aware that years of old aches, torments andresentments are simmering under the surface, and that it is probablywise to leave them there.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

When I send out my twice-monthly-ish emails to subscribers, I usually close with the question, What's saving your life lately? (Thanks for the question, Barbara Brown Taylor.)
And I love when people reply with their answers… everything from "finally feeling more human after my son's death" to "working at a rescue shelter for cats."
Here's my current list, at varying levels of grandiosity. (Small things can save your life, right?)
The West Wing Weekly podcast. Nerd comfort food.
The book Challenger Deep, an excruciating but gratifying read about a young man with mental illness. Such reverence. Such
Last weekend's run at Great Falls:
Loved ones who forgive me readily when I screw up. Bonus when those loved ones are my children.
MyFitnessPal, my constant companion to help me make better nutritional choices.
Getting the summer camp schedule mostly locked down for the kids.
The Hamilton soundtrack–the multi-layered gift that keeps giving.
A week in which the writing flowed, aka lots of sh***y first drafts.
Kitties who jump five feet in the air when birds visit our patio bird feeder. I'd say they jump in vain, but it entertains us, so they're earning their keep around here.
Swimming, then biking, then running, for the first time in rapid succession, in anticipation of a triathlon in two weeks.
What's saving your life?

Great location on the excellent, private estate of Roche Residencial, near Conil. The area is considered the best vacation area in the region, alongside the wonderful sandy beach of La Barossa, voted Spain's best beach in 2014, close to Cadiz, Jerez, Conil, Arcos, Sevilla, Tarifa, Sanlucar, San Fernando, El Puerto de Santa Maria and Vejer de la Fontera.
The villa has 4 good sized bedrooms (two double, two twin) with two bathrooms. Brand new fitted kitchen with washing machine, freezer, microwave, wine-cooler, dishwasher, tumble dryer, Dolce Gusto coffee machine and all the usual cooking facilities and equipment. Lounge/diner is very light and airy and benefits from outside terrace being covered which keeps the room cool. Bedrooms and kitchen are air-conditioned with heating available for cooler times of the year. UK and Spanish TV available. Travel cot is also available for babies or very small children.
The outside terrace was completely rebuilt in early 2015. The pool is wonderful, 12m x 4m, one of the largest in the area, and up to 2.2m deep. Gardens surround the house, mostly lawned, with fencing to secure the pool area from small children. Outside terrace is beautiful and there is a stone barbecue and outside furniture for dining and relaxing.
The award-winning La Barossa beach is 5-10 mins walk away, or you could drive to Conil or Novo Sancti Petri in just a few minutes. There is a small shop in Roche but plenty of bigger stores within a short drive, or shopping malls in Cadiz, San Fernando or Jerez.
The food markets in Chiclana and Conil are wonderful places to buy fresh produce, especially locally sourced fish.
Many golf courses nearby, including Montenmedio, and tennis at Roche and Novo Sancti Petri.
Watersports are available in several nearby centres and other activities include whale and dolphin watching trips, the famous white Andalucian villages, horseriding, go-karts, trips to Morocco, tennis, nearby spas for some vacation pampering, trips to the wonderful Coto de Donana National Park, Gibraltar, many beautiful beaches in the area, ten pin bowling nearby, the famous sherry bodegas in Jerez, great jogging/running routes, cycling (bikes are at the house), and many, many wonderful ventas and restaurants with some of the best fish and seafood you'll ever taste! Sunset boat trips around Sancti Petri island - famous from the James Bond movie -'Die Another Day'! BRAND NEW CHILDREN'S TREE CLIMB ADVENTURE PARK ('Entre Ramas') OPENED IN ROCHE!
Roche Residencial has private security and is a very safe environment. It is well-kept by the management and homeowners alike. The Costa de la Luz is a beautiful, unspoiled area with the best beaches & temperatures in Spain.

Despite the poor reviews, I actually quite liked the play. It isn't the deepest play you will ever see (it IS Kurt Vonnegut after all), but it is amusing and well set and acted. I especially liked the set design. My partner, on the other hand, did not enjoy it so much.

Great play! Dark comedy. Superb acting! Very funny and very thought provoking at the same time. Vonnegut's twisted brilliance is on full display.

It fell under the category, "things that make you go hmmmm?" And not really in a good way. Full disclosure, I am not a huge Vonnegut fan, which perhaps is a prerequisite?

I don't know why the reviewers were so hard on this play. It is funny and light, and full of vonnegut-isms. For those of us who have loved his writing, it is even more fun. It's also well acted, not too long at all. The night we went, the...continued

Previous studies on oral culture have traditionally emphasized the contradictions between oral and literate culture, and focussed on individual countries or regions. The essays in this fascinating collection depart from these approaches in several ways. By examining not only English, but also Scottish and Welsh oral culture, they provide the first pan-British study of the ...more

If You're Thinking of Living In/Little Falls, N.J.; A Town Propelled by Its Waterways
By JERRY CHESLOW
Published: December 20, 1998
THE 2.8-square-mile Township of Little Falls, which was developed around a 150-foot-wide bend in the Passaic River, has always drawn strength from its waterways.
Its 20-foot-high waterfall, three miles southwest of the Great Falls in Paterson, was harnessed as early as 1763 to power an iron forge owned by Capt. James Gray, who later served under Gen. Henry Clinton in the Revolutionary War.
In 1829, when work began on the Morris Canal that eventually linked the Delaware and Hudson Rivers, brownstone used in the construction was quarried in Little Falls. The two giant cornerstones of the aqueduct that carried the canal over the Passaic River at Little Falls now adorn the township's Memorial Park, a triangle formed by Main Street, Willmore Road and First Street.
Some stores on Main Street, much of which follows the winding canal route, were built in the early 19th century with loading docks along the waterway.
Today, much of the canal (drained in 1924) is being converted into a park. With the help of a $270,000 grant from the state, a staircase is to be built from Main Street down to the canal, lighting and benches are to be installed and the now-overgrown towpath is to be paved for a bicycle path.
''We will be converting an eyesore into a feature,'' said Deputy Mayor Mathew S. Witecki.
The largest of the township's five condominium complexes, the 330-unit Mill at Little Falls, is on the Passaic River. The units are in the sprawling brick-and-brownstone former Robert Beattie & Sons Carpet Mill, begun in 1844.
The mill, which was closed in 1980, was sold in 1986 for $8.5 million to the Manhattan-based Affirmative Development Company, which began converting the complex to apartments in 1988. Prices there range from $75,000 for some studios without river views, up to $195,000 for two-bedroom units that overlook the river from the upper floors of a nine-story tower, according to Raymond J. Damiano, broker-owner of Prudential Damiano Realty on Main Street.
Single-family housing prices range from about $100,000 to about $700,000. The least expensive homes are two-bedroom converted bungalows in the flood zone along the Passaic, which forms the township's northwestern border.
Many of those homes, on Woodcliff and East Woodcliff Avenues, were flooded when the river overflowed its banks in 1984. Under a new program called Blue Acres, the state is offering to pay market value for 130 Little Falls houses along the river and hand them over to the town. So far, according to Mr. Witecki, seven homeowners have registered for Blue Acres. He added that he did not know what the town would do with the properties, nor how many people would take advantage of the offer.
A block from the river, on Riker and Zeloff Avenues, prices rise sharply. Small, two- or three-bedroom older colonials or postwar Cape Cods go for $150,000 to $175,000. Most of the Cape Cods lack basements because of the high water table. Toward the center of town, near the Union Avenue N.J. Transit train station, older colonials fetch $175,000 to $300,000.
THE one development under construction is Greenbriar Estates off Francisco Avenue near the center of town. All but one of the 12 custom homes have been sold, going for $435,000 to $525,000, according to Mr. Damiano.
The town's one co-op apartment complex is the 280-unit Inwood at Great Notch, which backs up to the township's second train station on Notch Road. Prices start at about $80,000 for a studio and rise to $180,000 for some two-bedroom units.
There are roughly 400 rental apartments in the township, most in three garden apartment complexes at the intersection of Main Street and Union Avenue -- the 80-unit Brownstone Apartments, the 52-unit Main Union Apartments and the 80-unit Park Lane Apartments. One-bedroom units in the three complexes go for approximately $800 and two-bedrooms for about $1200 monthly.
Among the newer residents are Bernadette J. and Peter A. DiMaio, their two children and Mrs. DiMaio's sister, Charlene A. Ward. The DiMaios and Ms. Ward bought a Victorian-style duplex house on Prospect Street and moved in from nearby Haledon last December.
Mrs. DiMaio and her sister grew up in Little Falls and wanted to move back. Mr. and Mrs. DiMaio both have 20-minute commutes to work. He is a computer consultant in Rutherford, she is a secretary in Kinnelon.
''It's a community town, where there are plenty of places to walk and where people sit out on their front steps and talk,'' said Mrs. DiMaio. ''And the school system is excellent, allowing children to progress at their own pace.''
The 825-student Little Falls Public School system is comprised of School 1, for grades 4 to 8, and School 2, which starts with a 15-student pre-k class of disabled children and runs through grade 3.
Superintendent of Schools James F. Bender says the system has three major priorities: providing a nurturing environment by keeping the class size below the state average of 22; mainstreaming as many special education students as possible, often by putting a second teacher in the classroom, and bolstering technology education.

This paper presents a new method for realizing the control system of a legged rover for planetary exploration. The controller is realized using a class of dynamical recurrent artificial neural networks called CTRNN, and evolutionary algorithms. The proposed approach allows realizing the design of the controller in a modular way, decomposing the global problem into a collection of low-level tasks to be reached. The embodied dynamical neural network realized has been tested on a virtual legged hexapod called N.E.Me.Sys. The neural-controller has a high degree of robustness facing sensors noises and errors, tolerates a certain amount of degradation, but above all it allows the robot performing complex reactive behaviors, as overcoming hills and narrow valleys

A Meditation on Arendt, Rilke, & Guns
By Samantha Hill
"Because there is no true transcendence in this ordered world, one also cannot exceed the world, but only succeed to higher ranks."
-- Hannah Arendt, "Rilke's 'Duino Elegies'"*
Arendt and Stern's essay on Rilke's Duino Elegies is a sumptuous meditation that weaves together questions of worldliness, being-in-hearing, alienation, the lover, time, and solitude. The despair expressed in the Elegies is an expression of our human world. It is a longing spoken in the space between making a home in this world and the acknowledgement that both God and the World have abandoned us. This "belonging-nowhere," as Arendt calls it, constitutes both the nihilistic and religious quality of the poems. Arendt reads the Elegies as a "conscious renunciation of the demand to be heard." In this conscious renunciation, there is despair at not being heard, along with despair in the desire to speak, knowing that there will be no answer. Despair, in these terms, is the only residuum of religiousness, and the elegy is the only form that can give expression not to what has been lost but the condition of loss itself.
What do guns have to do with Rilke and with loss?
Should We Be Humble?
By Martin Wagner
"We are reminded of Socrates' great insight that no man can be wise, out of which love for wisdom, or philosophy, was born; the whole life story of Jesus seems to testify how love for goodness arises out of the insight that no man can be good."
-- Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition
At the core of Christian ethics stands a radical demand for the primacy of humility over all other virtues. The true Christian does not presume to judge anyone's behavior, not even his or her own. Today, in the age of tolerance, the Christian virtue of humility enjoys unprecedented authority. What we overlook in the shadow of humility's dominance, however, are the ways in which humility might threaten our most fundamental notions of justice.
Bibi's Victory: Understanding the Israeli Elections
By Shmuel Lederman, a visiting scholar at the Hannah Arendt Center
Why did Benjamin Netanyahu win Israel's recent elections? Various explanations are currently being put forward, most of which reveal more about those who suggest them than they do the political realities in Israel. To truly understand why Bibi won, we need to listen to what those who voted for him are saying.
A Student's Personal Arendt Library
Julia Frakes, a student of political science and peace & justice studies, recently sent us this image of her personal Arendt library.
Here is what she has to say about the image:
I posted this photo on Instagram a few months ago, knee-deep in research and awestricken with how much our contemporary scholarship owes to Arendtian moral and action theories articulated in Eichmann in Jerusalem. Judith Butler's conceptualization of terrorism and the movements that sweep up youthful sympathies owes much to Arendt's most striking and novel insight—that there is an intrinsic link between our ability (or inability) to think and evil itself—especially as our society contends with pressing questions about civil rights, the normative value of capitalism, state-sponsored violence, crimes against humanity, the spectacle of the 27/7 media cycle, global revolutions, violent swings toward nationalism, an eerie "unthaw" of the Cold War, exercises of totalitarian power structures and surveillance, and racial and ethnic crises in inner-cities and the Middle East which challenge easy and en vogue applications of Arendt's totalitarianism thesis and demand that we veer from disastrous impassivity. To properly honor Hannah Arendt's genius and wisdom, we must honestly tackle the ties between (not) thinking and evil (Villa 2000: 279).

Privacy and Politics
In the most recent NY Review of Books, David Cole wonders if we've reached the point of no return on the issue of privacy:
"Reviewing seven years of the NSA amassing comprehensive records on every American's every phone call, the board identified only one case in which the program actually identified an unknown terrorist suspect. And that case involved not an act or even an attempted act of terrorism, but merely a young man who was trying to send money to Al-Shabaab, an organization in Somalia. If that's all the NSA can show for a program that requires all of us to turn over to the government the records of our every phone call, is it really worth it?"
Cole is beyond convincing in listing the dangers to privacy in the new national security state. Like many others in the media, he speaks the language of necessary trade-offs involved in living in a dangerous world, but suggests we are trading away too much and getting back too little in return. He warns that if we are not careful, privacy will disappear. He is right.
What is often forgotten and is absent in Cole's narrative is that most people—at least in practice—simply don't care that much about privacy. Whether snoopers promise security or better-targeted advertisements, we are willing to open up our inner worlds for the price of convenience. If we are to save privacy, the first step is articulating what it is about privacy that makes it worth saving.
Cole simply assumes the value of privacy and doesn't address the benefits of privacy until his final paragraph. When he does come to explaining why privacy is important, he invokes popular culture dystopias to suggest the horror of a world without privacy:
More broadly, all three branches of government—and the American public—need to take up the challenge of how to preserve privacy in the information age. George Orwell's 1984, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, and Philip K. Dick's The Minority Report all vividly portrayed worlds without privacy. They are not worlds in which any of us would want to live. The threat is no longer a matter of science fiction. It's here. And as both reports eloquently attest, unless we adapt our laws to address the ever-advancing technology that increasingly consumes us, it will consume our privacy, too.
There are two problems with such fear mongering in defense of privacy. The first is that these dystopias seem too distant. Most of us don't experience the violations of our privacy by the government or by Facebook as intrusions. The second is that on a daily basis the fact that my phone knows where I am and that in a pinch the government could locate me is pretty convenient. These dystopian visions can appear not so dystopian.
Most writing about privacy simply assume that privacy is important. We are treated to myriad descriptions of the way privacy is violated. The intent is to shock us. But rarely are people shocked enough to actually respond in ways that protect the privacy they often say that they cherish. We have collectively come to see privacy as a romantic notion, a long-forgotten idle, exotic and even titillating in its possibilities, but ultimately irrelevant in our lives.
There is, of course, a reason why so many advocates of privacy don't articulate a meaningful defense of privacy: It is because to defend privacy means to defend a rich and varied sphere of difference and plurality, the right and importance of people actually holding opinions divergent from one's own. In an age of political correctness and ideological conformism, privacy sounds good in principle but is less welcome in practice when those we disagree with assert privacy rights. Thus many who defend privacy do so only in the abstract.
When it comes to actually allowing individuals to raise their children according to their religious or racial beliefs or when the question is whether people can marry whomever they want, defenders of privacy often turn tail and insist that some opinions and some practices must be prohibited. Over and over today, advocates of privacy show that they value an orderly, safe, and respectful public realm and that they are willing to abandon privacy in the name of security and a broad conception of civility according to which no one should have to encounter opinions and acts that give them offense.
The only major thinker of the last 100 years who insisted fully and consistently on the crucial importance of a rich and vibrant private realm is Hannah Arendt. Privacy, Arendt argues, is essential because it is what allows individuals to emerge as unique persons in the world. The private realm is the realm of "exclusiveness," it is that realm in which we "choose those with whom we wish to spend our lives, personal friends and those we love." The private choices we make are guided by nothing objective or knowable, "but strikes, inexplicably and unerringly, at one person in his uniqueness, his unlikeness to all other people we know." Privacy is controversial because the "rules of uniqueness and exclusiveness are, and always will be, in conflict with the standards of society." Arendt's defense of mixed marriages (and by extension gay marriages) proceeds—no less than her defense of the right of parents to educate their children in single-sex or segregated schools—from her conviction that the uniqueness and distinction of private lives need to be respected and protected.
Privacy, for Arendt, is connected to the "sanctity of the hearth" and thus to the idea of private property. Indeed, property itself is respected not on economic grounds, but because "without owning a house a man could not participate in the affairs of the world because he had no location in it which was properly his own." Property guarantees privacy because it enforces a boundary line, " kind of no man's land between the private and the public, sheltering and protecting both." In private, behind the four walls of house and heath, the "sacredness of the hidden" protects men from the conformist expectations of the social and political worlds.
In private, shaded from the conformity of societal opinions as well from the demands of the public world, we can grow in our own way and develop our own idiosyncratic character. Because we are hidden, "man does not know where he comes from when he is born and where he goes when he dies." This essential darkness of privacy gives flight to our uniqueness, our freedom to be different. It is privacy, in other words, that we become who we are. What this means is that without privacy there can be no meaningful difference. The political importance of privacy is that privacy is what guarantees difference and thus plurality in the public world.
Arendt develops her thinking on privacy most explicitly in her essays on education. Education must perform two seemingly contradictory functions. First, education leads a young person into the public world, introducing them and acclimating them to the traditions, public language, and common sense that precede him. Second, education must also guard the child against the world, care for the child so that "nothing destructive may happen to him from the world." The child, to be protected against the destructive onslaught of the world, needs the privacy that has its "traditional place" in the family.
Because the child must be protected against the world, his traditional place is in the family, whose adult members return back from the outside world and withdraw into the security of private life within four walls. These four walls, within which people's private family life is lived, constitute a shield against the world and specifically against the public aspect of the world. This holds good not only for the life of childhood but for human life in general…Everything that lives, not vegetative life alone, emerges from darkness and, however, strong its natural tendency to thrust itself into the light, it nevertheless needs the security of darkness to grow at all.
The public world is unforgiving. It can be cold and hard. All persons count equally in public, and little if any allowance is made for individual hardships or the bonds of friendship and love. Only in privacy, Arendt argues, can individuals emerge as unique individuals who can then leave the private realm to engage the political sphere as confident, self-thinking, and independent citizens.
The political import of Arendt's defense of privacy is that privacy is what allows for meaningful plurality and differences that prevent one mass movement, one idea, or one opinion from imposing itself throughout society. Just as Arendt valued the constitutional federalism in the American Constitution because it multiplied power sources through the many state and local governments in the United States, so did she too value privacy because it nurtures meaningfully different and even opposed opinions, customs, and faiths. She defends the regional differences in the United States as important and even necessary to preserve the constitutional structure of dispersed power that she saw as the great bulwark of freedom against the tyranny of the majority. In other words, Arendt saw privacy as the foundation not only of private eccentricity, but also of political freedom.
Cole offers a clear-sighted account of the ways that government is impinging on privacy. It is essential reading and it is your weekend read.
The Irony of the Elite
Peggy Noonan is worried about the decadence of elite American culture. While the folks over at DailyKos are foaming about the irony of Ronald Reagan's speechwriter complaining about the excesses of the power elites, Noonan makes an important point about the corrosive effects that irony has on elites and on culture more generally.
The two targets of Noonan's scorn are a "Now This News" video compilation of real congressmen quoting their favorite lines from the Netflix series "House of Cards," and the recent publication of an excerpt from Kevin Roose's new book Young Money. The "House of Cards" is about the scheming, power hungry, and luxurious life of our political elite in Washington. Roose's excerpt provides audios, videos, and a description of a recent Kappa Beta Phi meeting, in which Wall Street titans binge on alcohol and engage in skits and speeches making fun of anyone who would question their inalienable right to easy money at the expense of rubes in government and on main street.
Noonan's response to these sets of recordings is bafflement and disappointment. Why is it, she asks, that elites would join in on the jokes made at their expense?
"I don't understand why members of Congress, the White House and the media become cooperators in videos that sort of show that deep down they all see themselves as ... actors. And good ones! In a phony drama. Meant I suppose to fool the rubes. It's all supposed to be amusing, supposed to show you're an insider who sees right through this town."
Why do elites join in the laughter of a popular TV serial that grills them and shows them to be callow, avaricious, and without public spirit? Why do they delight in demonstrating their ability to view their failings with irony?
""House of Cards" very famously does nothing to enhance Washington's reputation. It reinforces the idea that the capital has no room for clean people. The earnest, the diligent, the idealistic, they have no place there. Why would powerful members of Congress align themselves with this message? Why do they become part of it? I guess they think they're showing they're in on the joke and hip to the culture. I guess they think they're impressing people with their surprising groovelocity."
Noonan is right to see this elite reaction of wanting to be in on the joke as meaningful and worrisome. She finds it decadent:
"They are America's putative great business leaders. They are laughing, singing, drinking, posing in drag and acting out skits. The skits make fun of their greed and cynicism. In doing this they declare and make clear, just in case you had any doubts, that they are greedy and cynical. All of this is supposed to be merry, high-jinksy, unpretentious, wickedly self-spoofing. But it seems more self-exposing, doesn't it? And all of it feels so decadent."
It is insufficient, however, to watch the videos on both these sites and conclude the obvious that they offer damning evidence of corruption and decadence.
What is more important than the decadence on display is the self-satisfied irony. The elites in Washington and Wall Street seem not to care about their decadence and even take joy in the revealing of their decadence. It is as if a burden has been lifted, that we all in the outside world can now know what they have borne in secret. With the secret out, they can enjoy themselves without guilt.
This embrace of the revelation of decadence recalls the cultural milieu of Weimar Germany, and especially the reception of Berthold Brecht's classic satire the "Threepenny Opera." Here is how Hannah Arendt describes the arrival and reception of Brecht's play:
"The play presented gangsters as respectable businessmen and respectable businessmen as gangsters. The irony was somewhat lost when respectable businessmen in the audience considered this a deep insight into the ways of the world and when the mob welcomed it as an artistic sanction of gangsterism. The theme song in the play, "Erst kommt das Fressen, dann kommt die Moral" [First comes the animal-like satisfaction of one's hungers, then comes morality], was greeted with frantic applause by exactly everybody, though for different reasons. The mob applauded because it took the statement literally; the bourgeoisie applauded because it had been fooled by its own hypocrisy for so long that it had grown tired of the tension and found deep wisdom in the expression of the banality by which it lived; the elite applauded because the unveiling of hypocrisy was such superior, wonderful fun."
Brecht hoped to shock not only with his portrayal of corruption and the breakdown of morality, but by his gleeful presentation of Weimar decadence; but the effect of "Threepenny Opera" was exactly the opposite, since all groups in society reacted to Brecht's satire with joy instead of repulsion.
Arendt has little hope for the mob or the bourgeoisie, but she is clearly cut to the quick by the ease with which the elite felt "genuine delight" in watching the bourgeoisie and the mob "destroy respectability." As Arendt explained, the "members of the elite did not object at all to paying a price, the destruction of civilization, for the fun of seeing how those who had been excluded unjustly in the past forced their way into it." Because the elite had largely rejected their belief in the justice and meaningfulness of the moral and common values that had supported the edifice of civilization, they found more joy in the ironic skewering of those values than they felt fear at what the loss of common values might come to mean.
There is no greater thinker of decadence than Friedrich Nietzsche. This is how Nietzsche defines decadence in The Case of Wagner as a "question of style":
"I dwell this time only on the question of style–What is the sign of every literary decadence? That life no longer dwells in the whole. Word becomes sovereign and leaps out of the sentence, the sentence reaches out and obscures the meaning of the page, the page gains life at the expense of the whole–the whole is no longer a whole. But this is the simile of every style of decadence: every time, the anarchy of atoms, the disgregation of the will, "freedom of the individual," to use moral terms–expanded into a political theory, "equal rights for all." Life, equal vitality, the vibration and exuberance of life pushed back into the smallest forms; the rest, poor in life. Everywhere paralysis, hardship, torpidity, or hostility, and chaos: both more and more obvious the higher one ascends in forms of organization. The whole no longer lives at all: it is composite, calculated, artificial, and artifact."
As Andrew Huddleston has recently written, Nietzsche understands that "decadence is literally a kind of disorder – that is, a lack of cohesive order – within the individual or the culture." It is a sickness by which individuals and groups think only of themselves and lose sight of their belonging to a common world or a meaningful order.
The disordering forces of decadence are not always disadvantageous. Throughout American history centripetal forces have allowed an understanding of power that permits different states and plural groups that pursue their own interests to, nevertheless, hold fast to the common idea of constitutional republican democracy and government by the people. What we see in the irony of the elites—let alone the decadence of the bourgeoisie and the power brokers—is the superior feeling of freedom that proceeds from the belief in the comic dissolution of the moral, political and economic values that have for two centuries animated the American imagination of itself as a exceptional experiment in free and democratic self-government.
Noonan is right to call out this ironic pose of the elite. She is right to worry that "No one wants to be the earnest outsider now, no one wants to play the sober steward, no one wants to be the grind, the guy carrying around a cross of dignity. No one wants to be accused of being staid. No one wants to say, "This isn't good for the country, and it isn't good for our profession."" Her essay is your weekend read. Don't forget to watch the videos. See if you catch yourself smiling.
