Two days after Hurricane Gustav passed, the inpatient kidney dialysis unit at Ochsner Medical Center was open and treating patients. The Fresenius Medical Care outpatient dialysis unit nearby was also up and running.
These are facts of which Dr. Will Gabbard, the medical director for both units, is proud.
His colleague Dr. Catherine Staffeld-Coit shares his pride, but offers a cautious caveat. Even though the two dialysis centers are well-prepared in the event of a storm, the only sensible thing for dialysis patients to do when a hurricane warning is sounded is to evacuate.
The recent experiences of these physicians exemplify the conflicted messages residents get in a storm-prone region. While citizens are strongly urged to leave town, local facilities also make preparations with the full knowledge that some won't leave.
Clean water, electricity
Dialysis is unique among medical treatments. The procedure cleanses the blood, much as kidneys would do, in the event that a patient's kidneys are not functioning properly.
"If someone's kidneys are not working at all, and they don't get dialyzed, we usually expect that they are not going to live two weeks, " Staffeld-Coit said.
Two things are necessary for dialysis, in addition to the equipment itself: clean water and electricity. In anticipation of Gustav, Ochsner increased its capacity to filter its own water and generate its own electricity.
The Sunday before Gustav hit New Orleans, Ochsner dialyzed all of the dialysis patients in the hospital. That way, if other patients needed dialysis in the wake of the storm, Ochsner's patients wouldn't be competing with them to use the equipment for the three or four hours required for each session.
Gabbard also contacted Joe Desselle, clinic manager for the 15 Fresenius units in the New Orleans area. Desselle cobbled together a staff with employees from various Fresenius units around town.
Gabbard then sent the word out to medical facilities in the area that the two clinics were open.
Dietary considerations
For patients who stay behind, the heat, lack of food and lack of water may actually help them survive longer without dialysis. Since the patients aren't ingesting much, there are fewer toxins to be removed.
But the meals provided at shelters are apt to be dangerously high in the very toxins that dialysis patients are told to avoid. Thus, the only sensible option for these patients is evacuation.
"Every storm is a different animal, and it is not necessarily going to present itself in the same way, " Staffeld-Coit said. "The damage from this one may be worse than the one before."

|Teen girl runs from Colorado City
By Angie Parkinson
ST. GEORGE Ś A Colorado City teen-age girl left her home, in part, to avoid an arranged marriage. The 15-year-old said she decided at age of 14 that she did not want to stay in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). She said she was being groomed to become a wife to Warren Jeffs, high-ranking FLDS official and son of FLDS prophet Rulon Jeffs.
The teen was on vacation in Salt Lake City last week when her father called to say her brother would be picking her up. She did not want to return to Colorado City and decided to stay with a cousin in Salt Lake City, beginning Saturday.
Her cousin contacted Hurricane resident Jay Beswick, an advocate with the child abuse prevention organization For Kids Sake, and St. George resident Les Zitting, who is trying to start a support group for those who want to leave the FLDS church. Zitting Ś who is also the girlĺs great uncle Ś and Beswick met the teen and her cousin in Fillmore. The teen stayed at Beswickĺs and then Zittingĺs home from Monday until Wednesday.
Zitting contacted the police Wednesday after he received a threatening phone call. In the phone call a male voice tells a number of jokes and makes some bizarre statements.
ôThey show you how detergent can take blood stains out,ö said the caller at one point. ôI think youĺve got a T-shirt with blood stains all over it. Maybe your laundry isnĺt the biggest problem.ö
Zitting recorded the phone call and plans to press charges.
Zitting believes the call is a response to his efforts to aid people leaving the FLDS church. Washington County Deputy Sheriff Kurt Wright took the report on the threatening call Wednesday afternoon. Zitting also told him the girl was staying in his home.
Wright arranged a meeting with Zitting, the teen, the teenĺs parents, and Washington County Sheriff Kirk Smith to discuss the teenĺs best interests. The parents agreed to let the girl stay out of Colorado City, but prefer not to have her live in St. George. The girl will live with an uncle in another state who has also left the FLDS church.
The teen said she was called out of class from her second to sixth grade years on weekly basis to meet with Jeffs. They discussed issues unrelated to marriage, but she said she felt she was being singled out as a wife for Jeffs. None of the other girls were asked to similar conferences, she said. She stopped going to school after sixth grade and said the meetings stopped for a time but started again this year. Their last meeting was four months ago.
The teen also said her living conditions were unsatisfactory in Colorado City. More than 20 people live in her familyĺs home. The home has three bedrooms.
Beswick said he is unhappy with the decision to send the girl to her relative in another state, saying she will inevitably end up back in Colorado City. Beswick believes the Colorado City community is unsafe for children because it allows underage marriages.
But Smith and Wright said because the girl is a minor, the parents have the right to decide where their daughter lives.

US risks miscalculation on Iran
By Safa Haeri
Part of a calculated policy or a game, the decision by the US State Department to outlaw the National Council of the Resistance of Iran (NCRI), the political front of the outlawed Mujahideen-e-Khalq Organization (MKO), has been cold-shouldered by many Iranian political analysts, as well as by opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran, both inside and outside the country.
"For the first time in their tortuous relationship with Iran, the Americans have a real capital of sympathy with the Iranian people, mostly with the young generation, the only one in the whole of the Arab and the Muslim worlds to really like and appreciate the Americans. They should not deceive the Iranian people by comforting a regime that has no future," Ali Keshtgar, a seasoned political analyst and editor of the Paris-based monthly Mihan (Homeland) told Asia Times Online.
In his view, Washington would make a "terrible mistake" if it really was looking to appease the Iranian mullahs by banning the NCRI. The State Department said on Friday that it had placed the NCRI on its list of terrorist organizations.
The closure, under terms of a 2001 anti-terrorism executive order by President George W Bush, came after an inter-agency debate within the administration and strongly supported by Secretary of State Colin Powell, "determining" that the NCRI is an alias for the MKO and therefore all its banking accounts would be closed and its members in the US would be informed that their activities would be regarded as harmful to the interests of the US.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation immediately proceeded to close down the council's offices in Washington DC and other major American cities, including New York and Los Angeles. The MKO had already been declared a terrorist organization by both the US and the European Union, but the NCRI was allowed to operate, arousing bitter criticism from Tehran, accusing the Bush administration of "duplicity".
However, and as expected, Iran, proclaimed by Bush as an "evil" state, has now welcomed the move. Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said on Saturday that the US action in closing down the office of the "terrorist" NCRI "is a positive step that conforms to its international responsibilities. To root out terrorism, all countries, including the US, should confront the menace in all its forms decisively, and uniformly," he stated, adding that the US should have acted sooner in shutting down the NCRI's activities, according to the Iranian official news agency IRNA.
Also, one should not forget that the head of the terrorist group is in Iraq, under US control, Kharrazi said, referring to Mas'oud Rajavi, the leader of both the MKO and the NCRI and whose whereabouts have not been known since the occupation of Baghdad by the Americans.
A semi-military organization, the MKO obeys a strict Marxist-Islamist ideology and is the only armed group fighting Iran. When the allies occupied Iraq some 100 days ago, they also attacked and occupied the military bases the deposed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein had placed at the disposal of the MKO for their operations against Iran.
But American officers on the field, faced with the menace from the thousands of Iranian agents and Iraqi soldiers of the Badr Corps, the military wing of the Tehran-backed Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Revolution of Iraq (SAIRI) who had been infiltrated into Iraq in the early days of the allied occupation of Iraq, decided to use the MKO's potential for the identification of the infiltrators and allowed its members to keep their light weapons.
But the idea, though blessed by the Pentagon, was abandoned after the State Department opposed it, arguing that due to Iran's huge influence over the Iraqi Shi'ites Muslims who make the majority of the Iraqi population, it would create more trouble for the allied forces in a country ravaged by chaos.
On June 17, more than 1,000 French crack policemen and gendarmerie forces raided the MKO's international headquarters in the small town of Auvers Sur Oise near Paris, arrested 13 leaders of the group, including Maryam Rajavi, wife of Rajavi and co-leader of the NCRI, and seized "very sophisticated" communications and computer equipment, as well as more than US$9 million and 200,000 euros, all in cash.
Though it is difficult to find any Iranians sympathetic to the cause defended by the MKO outside of the organization, yet, for the first time, few political observers welcomed the American decision to ban the NCRI, fearing that not only would it encourage the ruling Iranian ayatollahs to increase their crackdown on dissidents in the country, but further isolate the powerless President Mohammad Khatami and his reformist allies in the Iranian leadership.
"I hope the decision to ban the Council of Mujahideen [NCRI] does not mean that Washington wants normalize relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, a regime that is the mother of all terrorists, but that it wants to enter into a bargain over the suspected al-Qaeda people believed to be in the custody of the Iranians," Keshtgar added.
Though the State Department offered no reason for its somehow surprise decision, some Iranian and Western sources said that it might be part of the ongoing Tehran-Washington secret negotiations aimed at encouraging Tehran to hand over to the US some of the high-ranking al-Qaeda officials believed to be in Iranian custody.
According to the Americans, one of Osama Bin Laden's sons, Sa'd, his second man in command, the Egyptian Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri , al-Qaeda's spokesman, Soleyman Abou Qaith, the network's present coordinator, Seyf al-Adl, as well as Imad Muqniyeh, the head of the Iran-backed and supported Lebanese Hezbollah intelligence, are also hiding in Iran.
But the Saudi-owned pan-Arab daily al-Sharq al-Awsat said last week that all of them had left Iran, probably for safer places along the Iranian-Afghanistan-Pakistan borders. As usual, Tehran immediately denied the information, reiterating that none of the men had ever been in Iran.
But since Iranian official spokesmen have insisted forcefully that Iran has not been able to identify all of the 500 al-Qaeda and Taliban operatives it detains, the denial lacks credibility.
Confirming the al-Sharq al-Awsat story, some informed Iranian sources explained that the Iranian authorities, fearing that some of the men had been officially pinpointed by the Americans, had ordered them to leave their sanctuaries in Iran.
This has happened before. Months after the American intervention in Afghanistan, American media, tipped by the Central Intelligence Agency, reported the presence in Iran of several high-ranking al-Qaeda and Taliban members. At first, Tehran vehemently denied the reports, but two weeks later an unidentified intelligence source told the state-run, leader-controlled television that some 250 al-Qaeda operatives had been arrested while entering Iran from Pakistan.
"The Americans are well aware of the activities of the MKO. At the same time, they have also branded the Islamic Republic as an evil and terrorist state. It is therefore possible that Washington, by placing the NCRI on their list of terrorist organizations, wants to encourage Iran in handing over leading al-Qaeda members it detains," Keshtgar said.
Hooshang Amir Ahmadi, a professor at New Jersey's Rutgers University and chairman of the Iranian-American Council, agrees, but at the same time he says that the idea of exchanging top al-Qaeda officials against MKO leaders will not work.
In his view, on the one hand the ruling Iranian ayatollahs are no more interested in the exchange for the simple reason that they consider the group as already finished, while on the other, Washington has abandoned the idea of coalescing the MKO and the monarchists into a powerful pressure force against Tehran.
"However, the ruling conservatives, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , the leader of the Islamic Republic, have reached the conclusion that it is better and safer to calm the Americans by continuing the ongoing secret negotiations rather than reconcile with the reformists at home," he told the Persian service of Radio France International on Saturday.
In a recent statement, officials at the State Department indicated that they were ready to go to Iran and interrogate the suspected al-Qaeda terrorists, a proposal immediately rejected by the Iranian president.
According to Amir Ahmadi, the State Department, at odds with the Defense Department over Iran, has decided that the presence and activities of the NCRI in the US is a serious obstacle in the secret talks it started with Iran early this year in Geneva and at the United Nations in New York.
It is interesting to note that Powell strongly criticized his defense counterpart for having authorized secret meetings a year ago, and more recently between mid-level defense officials with Manichur Ghorbanifar, an Iranian arms dealer-wheeler involved in the notorious Iran-Contra deal better known as the Irangate scandal of the Ronald Reagan administration.
(In order to free American hostages held in Lebanon by pro-Iranian militias, senior members of the Reagan government secretly sold weapons to Iran in 1985 and traded the profits to supply right-wing Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua with arms).
Keshtgar says that it would make a "terrible mistake" if Washington was really looking to appease the Iranian mullahs in the "chimerical" hope of getting al-Qaeda leaders. Asked by Asia Times Online if, anyhow, Iran is in a position to reciprocate the American decision by handing over to them some of the senior al-Qaeda people, Keshtgar ruled this out, observing that not only Iran would be discredited in Arab and Islamic worlds, it would also face rebellion from its own base, the
volunteers, the revolutionary guards, the judiciary, the lumpen religious and the masses of uneducated people that still support Khamenei and the conservatives.

Until Sunday and his shot-of-a-lifetime on the second playoff hole at the Wyndham Championship, Patrick Reed was on the less glamorous side of golf you rarely see. The 23-year-old who graduated from University High in Baton Rouge has grinded through the game the last couple of years with his wife/caddie Justine right by his side.
There were the near-sleepless nights of 2012 when the two would drive – not fly, mind you – countless miles to play in PGA Tour Monday qualifiers just to get a chance to get into the field. He drove from the Valero Open in San Antonio on Sunday night all the way to New Orleans to play in the 2012 Zurich Classic Monday qualifier. Six times Reed played his way into a 2012 PGA Tour event in a Monday qualifier, an incredible accomplishment.
Then there was Q-School last year when, after the first two days, Reed's chances of securing his PGA Tour card seemed remote at best. But Reed played excellent golf the final four days and hit the number in the last round to earn his way into golf's biggest stage.
While Tiger and Phil and Rory jet around the globe with endorsements galore, the Patrick Reeds of golf are living on burgers and hoping this will be the week they make it big.
Sunday was Patrick Reed's turn.
He defeated young phenom Jordan Spieth on the second hole of sudden death in Greensboro, N.C., with what he called the best shot of his life. It was pretty incredible.
That shot and subsequent 7-foot birdie putt for the victory has elevated Reed now. He has a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour. He's in the Masters next year. The victory netted him $954,000 and he is now at about $1.9 million for the 2013 season.
In the short term, it vaulted him to 22nd in the FedEx Cup standings, meaning he's automatically qualified for the first three legs of the FedEx Playoffs, which begin this week.
It took that circus-like shot to win all the above.
Reed hit his tee shot on the second playoff hole – the par-4 10th at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro – to the right. Initially, someone on the course signaled he was out of bounds.
"When they signaled out of bounds my heart sank,'' Reed said. "I was about to burst out right there. I pulled the hat down and I was just – I was so frustrated.''
A few people, however, in the same vicinity gave Reed and Justine the safe sign saying that he was, in fact, in play. He hit a provisional shot just in case then made his way down the fairway to his shot.
He said all he wanted to do was make par and hopefully survive to play a third playoff hole.
"I was like 'Let's try to get on the green,' because I knew the trees overhung (where his ball was),'' Reed said. "It happened that he (Spieth) got a roar and I knew he got up to the top level (of the green). I knew it was close because the top level (of the green) isn't big at all and so I knew I had to do it.''
Patrick and Justine discussed the shot. He pulled a 7-iron then hit the shot that came to within seven feet of the pin, on the top level. "How about that?'' said CBS analyst Ian Baker-Finch.
"I had to step up and hit the shot that I've been fighting all year, you know, the dead straight golf shot,'' Reed said. "I don't see straight lines. I see curves. To set-up and try to hit a dead straight golf shot from a baseball lie was going to be do or die. I don't know how I pulled it off.''
But pull it off he did. He sank the birdie putt to win after Spieth pared it.
All of a sudden, he went from being the Monday qualifying guy to a golfer with a lot of momentum headed into the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Reed isn't some guy who just lucked out and won a tournament. He has had a solid rookie year with four top 10 finishes before the Wyndham. He helped lead Augusta State to the NCAA national championship in 2010 and 2011 and advanced to the U.S. Amateur semifinals in 2008.
He looks like one of the bright new players of the future, like Spieth or Billy Horschel, the winner of the 2013 Zurich Classic.
He credited his wife with not only her help on the course but in helping to get him through 2012 when he was living on the golfing edge.
"I don't know how we did it,'' Reed said. "It was so tough. Between that (qualifiers) and Q-School, I don't know how I'm still here.''
But here he is. And if he continues to play like he has in the last month, Reed should make his mark.**************

A former New Orleans Police officer on trial for his involvement in the videotaped 2005 beating of a retired teacher in the French Quarter, died over the weekend in an apparent suicide, authorities said.
Lance Schilling, 30, was indicted along with another officer last year on charges of second-degree battery for their actions in a confrontation with a 64-year-old man.
Schilling and Robert Evangelist were fired from the New Orleans Police Department following the Oct. 8, 2005 incident. Prior to his dismissal from the department, Schilling, an eight-year NOPD veteran, worked in the 8th District.
Schilling died around 9:45 p.m. Sunday from a gunshot wound to the head, according to the Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office. The incident, which took place at his Metairie home, was ruled a suicide.
Mike Glasser, president of the Police Association of New Orleans, called Schilling's death tragic.
"He was a good, conscientious policeman," Glasser said. "He was a good cop and a good guy. He was always responsive to the needs of the district."
Schilling's case was scheduled for trial later this month.
Franz Zibilich, Schilling's attorney who spoke with him as recently as last week, said Schilling was eager for the trial to start.
"He believed he had done nothing wrong, and I agreed," Zibilich said.
Schilling had previously undergone psychiatric treatment following an apparent suicide attempt in the mid 1990's, a year before the NOPD hired him, his attorney and former colleagues have said.
The 2005 French Quarter confrontation was captured by at least two people with video cameras, providing graphic footage of Davis bleeding profusely from the face as Evangelist and Schilling forcefully subdued him and tried to place him in handcuffs. The officers said they stopped Davis on suspicion of being drunk and he became confrontational. Davis said he had not been drinking.
The videotape was seized upon by the national media and repeatedly replayed as a symbol of the NOPD's post-Katrina difficulties.
A third officer, Stuart Smith was charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor, for allegedly cursing and jabbing his finger in the chest of an Associated Press news producer whose crew was among those taping the incident. Those charges were dropped earlier this month, said Smith's attorney Eric Hessler.

Apparently God the Father loves us so much that he will torture us with fire forever…over and over again. What bullshit!! This Fischer guy knows NOTHING about Scripture and I would be happy to debate him on the subject any time. I can demonstrate through Scripture that he is full of shit.
Christian Republicans do NOT want others to know what the Bible actually states and they will twist the words of the Bible so they can fool the dumb sheep through fear and lies. Just like they do in politics. However, the Bible is full of Scripture that supports the title of this post. Yes, God apparently plans to save all men. If you don't believe me, just read God's "word".
"God our Saviour who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth" (I Tim. 2:3-4).
The word all is all inclusive and we can see that the Scripture didn't say "will have almost all men saved". Christian will often argue that the word "will" is mistranslated (while they ignore actual mistranslations) and they will claim that the word will should be replaced with the word "desires". God desires that all men will be saved? Really, does that change anything if it were true? Do they think that if the most powerful being every created desired that something happened, that it wouldn't happen? If God desires anything then that which he desires will happen. In fact, Scripture spells it out that he WILL have all his desires and his pleasures. Christians basically tell their God that he can not have his desires or his pleasures or his will to be done. I guess they need to throw out that "my will be done" Scripture as well?
And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world" (I John 2:2)!
Again, Christians ignore the clear meaning of this Scripture and claim that God is only the propitiation for the sins of those that believe. You know, only a few. And in the Christian mind the "few" apparently means several million. I guess we need to redefine the word few as well? haha.
"For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who IS the Saviour of ALL MEN, specially of those that believe" (I Tim. 4:10).
Notice it doesn't say only those that believe but instead states "specially of those that believe" which doesn't mean exclusively those that believe. Again, notice the ALL MEN…that means everyone.
"…I came not to judge the world, but to SAVE the world" (John 12:47).
Apparently Christians think Jesus will fail to do what he stated he would do. Again, it doesn't appear they have much faith in their God to do what he states. Jesus never said anything against gays and yet Christians seem accept that gays are an abomination….odd they would pick some Scriptures that allow them to hate and call them true. But Scriptures that would mean good news for everyone, Christians are ready to call their God a liar and a failure.
What idiots!!!!
"…we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD" (John 4:42).
Apparently Christ isn't the savior of the world. He must be the savior of only part of the world. But why wouldn't he just stated he is savior of part of the world? That is a pretty big mistake from the word of God but apparently Christians know what Jesus will do, better than what Jesus himself knows. Do they think they are Gods? Seems so.
"And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD" (I John 4:14)!
Hey God, apparently you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Check with your Christian followers because they seem to think Jesus is going to fail to save the world and even though you sent him to save the world, you are going to fail to accomplish that which set out to do. I wonder which one we should believe….God the Father or Christians?
"This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to SAVE sinners; of whom I am chief" (I Tim. 1:15)!
I am sorry God but your word must be wrong and you are clearly going to fail to do what you came into this world to do. Just ask your Christian followers if you want to know the truth. They wouldn't lie…haha.
"For the Son of man is come to seek and to SAVE that which was lost" (Luke 19:10)!
Yes, that would be everyone. That which was lost would include EVERYONE….do you get it Christians? Doesn't matter what anyone does, they will ALL be saved and that is according to the word of God and not according to the Christian distortion of Scripture.
"The next day John sees Jesus coming unto Him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29).
"God our Saviour, Who will have all men to be saved" (I Tim. 2:4).
Jesus said: "And I, if I be lifted up ( You know, on the Cross/up to Heaven) from the earth, will draw ALL MEN UNTO ME" (John 12:32).
It is perfectly clear that Scripture supports the statement I have made in the title of this post. Why is it that Christians want to claim Jesus will not do what his Father sent him to do? Why is it they need to lie? Is it a big business that they use to drag money out of the dumb sheep?
Christians think it is impossible for all men to be saved because they don't understand the full context of the Scriptures. Again, God doesn't agree with them on what can and can not be done.
"Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God ALL THINGS are possible" (Matt. 19:25-26).
As you can see, I have destroyed the claims of Christians all around the world. And it was rather simple to do….one only needs to read with an open mind and not buy the bull shit that their christian leaders use to threaten them with eternal torture by fire. If they read the Bible they would see that this Fire is symbolic and is actually the all consuming fire of God himself. Used to purify man. Yeah, it is that simple.
Any Christian that attempts to dispute what I've stated here, I can and will expose their lies using Scripture. According to their God's word, he WILL save everyone and "EVERY tongue shall confess Jesus Christ is Lord" and we all know that if you confess Jesus Christ is lord, than you are saved.
Peace to all

All thoughts turned to the 96 fans who lost their lives in the 1989 Hillsborough stadium disaster on Saturday, as English football reflected on its darkest day.
Kick-offs were moved back seven minutes by the FA in recognition of the fact play was stopped six minutes into the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest 25 years ago.
Here are selection of Twitter tributes.

Mountain Heritage Festival approaching
HARPERS FERRY-The Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival, scheduled for Sept. 27-29, will continue celebrating culture for its 41st year.
The festival features the work of local artisans and craftspeople, live bluegrass music and wine tastings from West Virginia wineries.
According to the festival's website, the approximately 200 artisans will be joined by bluegrass bands The Hillbilly Gypsies, Patent Pending, The Stevens Family Bluegrass Band and JR Sisk and Rambler's Choice at the event. The festival is sponsored by the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce.
Festival planners want to encourage residents of Jefferson County to attend the festival, with a focus on reaching out to younger people and families with children. A children's activity tent has been added to the event.
"We give out more than 3,000 free passes through Chamber members and exhibitors to encourage county residents to come to the festival," executive director Heather McIntyre said.
The festival usually runs for three days in June in addition to the Sept. dates. At a recent meeting of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, a decision was reached unanimously to discontinue the June festival, starting with June of next year. According to board members, the June festival has been unprofitable for the last three years.
"There is a lot of competition now that did not exist when the festival first got its start in June of 1972," McIntyre said.
The September festivals were not started until September 1975, but quickly became the more popular of the two festival dates.
Board members wanted to focus on having one large festival instead of two smaller, separate festivals.
"The board recognizes the challenges in mounting two major festivals each year and has made the decision to put all its energy into the success of the fall festival," Board President Patricia Hubbard said.
A committee is being formed to explore the possibility of having another event take place during the June 2014 festival time slot.
This year's festival will take place Sept. 27-29 at Sam Michael's Park from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day. For more information about the Mountain Heritage Arts and Crafts Festival, and to purchase tickets in advance, visit www.jeffersoncountywvchamber.org/festival or visit the festival's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/pages/Mountain-Heritage-Arts-Crafts-Festivals.

Put the esthetics aside, however, and the East Lansing community should be overjoyed "the spaceship" — students' name for it — has landed in their laps.
The $45 million brainchild of MSU alumnus Eli Broad represents a world-class statement for the university that should benefit the community in many ways. This looks to be a world-class institution that can only draw positive attention and tourism dollars to the area.
The opening of this museum has drawn attention far beyond Michigan's borders, from the worlds of art and architecture. Critics have savored architect Zaha Hadid's design and look forward to the caliber of contemporary art, including works by Andy Warhol and Salvador Dali, that are housed inside its walls.
Related story: Broad Art Museum draws thousands to Michigan State during opening weekend; $40 million fundraising goal met
The Broad stands to become a destination for those who appreciate what it offers — even if, like Spartan football, it's not for all tastes. The museum will add to the prestige and reputation of the East Lansing community. Perhaps as important, Michigan State officials estimate it will generate $5.75 million in economic activity for the area, from hotel stays to meals at local restaurants.
A bet on an art museum has its risks, but Michigan State's leadership — with considerable financial help from the Broads — is making clear it is not content to approach the future by using an old playbook. This museum adds another way in which the world can view MSU, which already is home to impressive academics, research and athletics.
Folks will be noticing and talking about the Broad Art Museum. That should please anyone with an interest in East Lansing or the university.

Can businesses today really create sustainable revenue and long-term profit around regularly publishing professional-quality online video, and keep their production costs well below the standards of broadcast-quality? Yes, if they're willing to be what I call "videoratis" - a video professional and publicist skilled at more than one job that relates to their business and their online community.
In my recent interview with Shelly Palmer, he expressed his opinion that for most businesses today, building revenue model around regular online video publishing is still too much of a challenge to overcome, both from a cost and logistics perspective. Shelly joked that sure anyone can do it on a one-time basis if you have friends over and pay them in pizza and beer, but he stressed that broadcast-quality video had a fixed price to do on a day-in-day-out basis of $3K per 3 minutes of video content. That's per day, per 3-minute piece. By Shelly's broadcast-standards and figures, that would be well outside the budgets of most companies looking to do video publishing as their business model, or chief part of it.
Quality Video vs. Broadcast Quality Video
Now Shelly's roots are deeply entrenched in broadcast television, so he's used to seeing big budgets for Internet television (typically lots of broadcast television shows, like on Hulu, with money generated from substantial advertising.) When I interviewed Shelly Palmer at the adtech San Francisco conference, he expressed to me that despite the wider access to online video, its regular business application for day-in-day-out content may be best reserved for broadcast-level agencies - i.e., those that have deep pockets and resources, and an established audience.
I disagree. I think there is a great opportunity for businesses that don't have a broadcast-level budget for regular, quality video production. The web is very friendly to the smaller business, and smarts will win out over budget, including with professional quality video. Now I'm not talking amateur quality; I do believe its essential to put out "business-quality" video.
What is "Business-Quality" Video?
Here is my definition of what I mean by "business quality"...
Business-quality video -content that achieves a proper scale of good production AND content for its intended audience, with an expected result from that audience related to whatever your business goals may be. (Note: these should be directly measureable business goals, and fortunately video publishing platforms are including better and better analytics to show that to us now.)
What's fantastic about online video today for business objectives is that there's enough tools and venues today (at an increasing low pricing scale and increasingly high platform quality) that allows you to be a hybrid-professional, or what I call a "videorati."
What is a "Videorati?"
I made up this term based on "digerati," a term used to refer to the elite of online communities. To me a videorati can have these qualities:
- A hybrid-professional - can do more than one skillset, be it in planning, production, talent, publishing, marketing (including search marketing and SEO), and performance testing (including usability and analytics) of online video.
- Is community-minded, and a leader â€" this is important for video publishers, since they require a large audience to build advertising and subscriptions around must be public with sharing their expertise and opinions, and be able to reach those people through search engines, video sharing sites, and social networking sites related to their industry or skillset. (This is where Video SEO comes in very handy, plus the gift of gab.)
I consider myself a hybrid professional when it comes to online video. I am the script writer, interviewer, co-producer, on-air talent, web developer and SEO guy. Sometimes I will have someone as a backup, but I can still do most if not all of the things on the fly needed to produce and promote business-quality video.
I remember what my business partner and co-producer of our ReelSEO podcast show, Bob Sandidage, mentioned during our interview with Shelly Palmer...
"Shelly is talking about how we're really in a period of a big transition right now, and nobody knows where its going to fall." Said Bob. "Nobody knows where we're going to come out on this. So, we're still looking at the old standards, and he does have a very definitive sustainability model on what it costs to regularly make [professional] video; and that's something that's fairly immovable. So the question then becomes, what internal resources do you have, how effectively can they be used to produce videos, and what's your criteria for what's an effective video once you make something? And then, when you look at where you're going with this video, what quality level do you need to have to meet the market that you're after? So there's a lot of really complex things at play here. I don't really have any simple analysis of the situation other than to say, learn learn learn!"
Strategies for Producing Quality Video on a Smart Budget
So I'll do my best to offer a simple-but-sound solution for how to be a videorati and produce and promote business-quality video for online consumption:
- Capture what's online- take video content that's already out there, repackage and repurpose it. Do professional video screen capture of clips on the web. (SnapZ Pro, Camtasia Studio or SnagIt are all good inexpensive tools.)
- Build a brand around it -always give your own quality brand, at the beginning and ending. Meaning, have a professionally-produced video intro and outtro, which you can reuse for most or all of your individual clips. Keep the pieces short, like video snacks. If you're going to do regular segues, then have those professionally produced as well. Pick a show format, and provide regularity with your audience. You don't need to produce an entire clip all of high-production value. When you show initially what you can do on a high-end level, audiences will be much more forgiving if you're shooting on a lower level for the body of your video.
- Beef the audio -don't skimp on professional-quality audio! Audio has a considerably lower pricing point than video. Poor audio can ruin any video no matter what the image quality. Its recommended to do professional audio voice-overs with most of your clips, with a decent microphone that records right into your computer while the screen capture or movie is playing.
- Grab television shows to your computer - get a television capture program like Elegato, and take those pieces and make your own news reporting and commentary from them.
- Go to the library - by that, I mean professional stock footage agencies. Check out professional-quality multimedia libraries available for either royalty-free purchase or rights-based licensing. I personally use iStockPhoto or Getty Images for most of my work.
- Get on a platform -a video publishing platform, where you can host, manage, and organize all of your video content for public consumption. The best free platform I've found is BlipTV. For just $59, Vimeo has a professional player (and hosting space) that will be a good entry point for new publishers. For a big step up, Brightcove has a Basic version of its platform that goes for $6K a year.
Television Re-Purposes Web Video all the time
Now, what about television borrowing from the Internet? We see CNN and Fox News (and yes especially Viacom's TV properties) doing it all the time with taking clips off YouTube and other video sharing sites or video publisher sites, and putting them on broadcast television shows. And hey, you know what happened recently to me: a television network in Japan has paid me twice already to feature one of my own YouTube videos on television. So I guess you can make money! (Ok, not sustainable, but good enough for several months of pizza and beer. ;)

"As many people in town have heard and have read hopefully, Elm Street is scheduled for a full reconstruction, consisting of what is known as a reclamation process, where Palmer Paving will come in and they will essentially rototill or pulverize the surface material down to a depth of 16 inches to improve the quality of the gravel that's underneath the existing road base, which is a big part of the problem," said Perient. "They will then place two layers of pavement on top of that reclaimed or pulverized surface.
"There will be time intervals between each one of those steps. They won't happen day-after-day. So I expect step one is lowering the structures – that will take probably upwards of a week," he said. "The reclaiming process will probably take several days, it won't take weeks to do. And at that point, the residents will be driving on the gravel surface. It will be a gravel surface that's flatter and smoother than the existing surface on Elm Street, but it will be a gravel surface.
"Then Palmer will come in and put the binder course down, and that could stay for a week or two, while they then have to bring the structures back up again to where the final grade of the roadway is going to be. And then the final course will be put on, and the street will be striped, and it will be better at that point – certainly much, much better than it is today," Perient said.
He explained the upcoming schedule of work, which begins next week.
"The schedule for the project is that we have been adamant with Palmer, and they've been very agreeable, that we do not do any work south of Mapleshade before July 7th, that we get through the 4th of July parade with no impacts other than the paintings of utilities on the street and things like that," said Perient. "We expect ... that very shortly after the 4th, probably as soon as the week of July 7th, that (Palmer Paving) may start some of the heavy duty activity, where they start bringing in the equipment."
He said he expects the work to take about a month, start to finish.
"There will be significant disruption to residents in town for most of a month. The worst disruption will be over a couple of weeks where the structures will be lowered, the road is reclaimed," said Perient. "Once the binder course gets put in place, the road is flat at that point – there may be raised structures that you're probably fairly familiar with driving over – and then finally the final course of paving will be placed."

What's it like spending two years doing thankless work that, in the end, is going to be ignored by the very people who asked for your services? The members of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission have just found out. Their 662 page report is sinking rapidly into oblivion in official Washington, and is now destined to be of interest only to historians. This was fully predictable. The Commission was given a charter by Congress to tell us who, what, when, and where about the financial crisis, but they were not allowed to explain why. To understand why this crisis occurred would be stepping on way too many powerful toes in Washington, and for this reason the Commission was told not to make any policy recommendations to Congress that would help prevent such a crisis from occurring again.
Though toothless and hobbled by Congress, the Commission has issued a remarkable report, at least by Washington standards. The report reads like the work of an investigative reporter, filled with interesting anecdotes selected from hundreds of hours of interviews with financial experts and market participants. The chapters are organized chronologically from the start of the housing boom to its collapse. Hardly anybody comes out of this report looking good, but of the many people who have reason to hang their head in shame, none appear quite as damaged as Alan Greenspan. He and the Federal Reserve are fingered by the Commission for failure to regulate the banks and other players in the housing market.
The central bank operated a regulatory regime called "œFed Lite", providing little regulatory oversight for the banks, and no oversight for the shadow banking system that blew up under the weight of excessive debt and sparse capital. Fed Lite was founded on Alan Greenspan's near-religious belief that the markets always weed out inefficient players and excesses, and the Fed's job therefore is to stay out of the way of the banks they are supposed to regulate. Greenspan later admitted to the Commission that he might have been a bit wrong about the wonderful self-correcting mechanism of the markets. He also admitted that he was out of his depth whenever the staff came to talk to him about technical matters like mortgages, the housing markets, derivatives such as CDOs, and so on.
This was the man who was dubbed "œThe Maestro" by Bob Woodward, but apparently nearly twenty years of hands-on experience running the central bank was not enough to educate him sufficiently to understand the housing market, much less detect a bubble in the making. Why was someone like him given such a position of power? The Commission is unable to explain this to us, and to do so would require going much further back in time than the housing bubble "" in fact back to the 1950s, when Alan Greenspan sat at the side of Ayn Rand, as an Apostle of Selfishness and a prized member of her cult of Objectivists.
In his professional life Alan Greenspan has never talked about his days with Ayn Rand, and curiously no one in Washington has bothered to ask him publicly about how much of her philosophy he believes. As Fed Chairman, if Greenspan was a maestro of anything, it was playing Washington politics, and he was always wise enough never to tip his hand on policy matters until he had to. By the time the Fed was ready to implement Fed Lite, the mood in Washington had already shifted in favor of the Republican campaign to reduce government regulation wherever possible. This meant not only allowing market operators to function unfettered, it meant giving the wolves access to the henhouse. Insurance and oil industry executives were allowed in to Congressional staff meetings to help write laws governing their industries. Bankers were appointed to top positions at the Treasury and the Fed. As far as Wall Street was concerned, the traditional balance between Greed and Fear was upended: Fear was banished and Greed was allowed to run rampant once bankers were given access to unlimited taxpayer money in the form of bailouts.
All of this was quite congenial to Alan Greenspan, the inventor of the "œGreenspan put" "" which was a phrase created by the market to characterize the promise by the Fed that any serious losses in the market could always be "œput back" to the government. Time and again Greenspan oversaw one bank bailout after another, and then expanded the franchise to the hedge fund industry when he bailed out LTCM in 1998. By the time he retired from the Fed, the financial industry had become so large that the Greenspan put had become institutionalized, and is now referred to as the Bernanke put. The job of Chairman of the Federal Reserve apparently carries with it the promise to forever protect the markets from their mistakes.
This must be quite satisfying to Ayn Rand followers. In their mythology, only Worthy Individuals are allowed to succeed in life, by taking what they want from others, and fighting off the little people and bothersome bureaucrats who obstruct them because they are envious of anyone who succeeds. Alan Greenspan must view himself and the eminent people he associates with as the Worthy few, entitled to their wealth and position of power. As a Republican, Greenspan has had no problems with the evolution of his party into the protector of the privileged few "" the Lucky Duckies who control nearly 90% of the wealth in America, and feel entitled to raid the Treasury whenever they need to cover up for their mistakes.
This is the problem the Commission has had in doing its work. It is operating in a political and social environment in Washington that for decades has glorified greed and selfishness, and so accepted are these qualities that an alternative universe where government helps the average person rather than just the wealthy person is simply too hard for people in Washington to imagine. The best the Commission can do is say "œAlan Greenspan should have done this, and he shouldn't have done that." It cannot say that there is something deeply corrupting in the way politicians of both parties think and act in Washington.
That is also why this Commission is so very different from the Pecora Commission of the 1930s, which took as its job the exposure of corruption and fraud at the very highest levels of business and government. The evidence of corruption and fraud in the housing bubble and during the credit crisis is mounting every day, but no one of responsibility or power has been called to account. The Commission has apparently identified a few low level functionaries for the attention of the Justice Department, but it is unlikely that someone like Angelo Mozilo of Countrywide is ever going to wind up in court on fraud charges. There is no moral outrage in Washington anymore, because there is simply no telling whose head would not fall under the guillotine if the true extent of fraud and corruption were revealed.
The American people don't have much moral outrage either. For the longest time they bought into the Greed is Good philosophy as long as the stock market was going up, and the housing bubble was in the ascendant. Once both of these financial props collapsed, misery spread everywhere, but it wasn't the misery experienced by our grandfathers, who lost all their wealth in the 1930s when the banks collapsed completely. Most Americans are holding on to some of their wealth, and 80% of them have full time jobs, even if the work is stressful and the benefits are disappearing. Unemployment checks are being extended for another year, payroll taxes are scheduled to be cut in 2011, and Ben Bernanke has spent over half a trillion dollars generating another stock market bubble. The wealthy are spending money, which helps the retail sales numbers look good, and the Fed assures us that inflation is not a problem, because the Fed excludes the price of food and energy in its calculations of inflation.
Of what use, then, is a Commission that explains why things really happen the way they do? No one wants to hear it "" not the Congress, not the White House, not Republicans, Democrats, nor independents. No one wants to hear that the American Dream "" which use to say that anyone could succeed in America with hard work "" has been polluted by a wholly different American Dream, which now says you can succeed with the right connections and you can take what you want without any consequences. We have brought the philosophy of Selfishness to its logical conclusion, which has left us with a society of individuals who are isolated from each other, who have been stripped of any sense of community, and who have been taught to expect that government will be of no help to you unless your are in a position of privilege and power.
What America really needs is a Commission of Truth, that would outline how Selfishness became triumphant, how it has devastated our country, and what we as a community and as a nation must do about this. A Commission of Truth, however, needs to have an audience willing to listen to the truth, and such an audience does not exist in America. At least not yet "" not until Americans have experienced the full, bitter fruits that a lifetime of Selfishness can produce.

This recipe is a stew of beef jerky, tomatoes, potatoes, and other vegetables and is completely comprised of dehydrated ingredients (except for the choice of fresh carrots.) The stew can be served over rice or noodles. Dried foods are easily stored, which makes this the perfect meal for campers, hikers and those without an indoor cooking space.
Preparation time: About ten minutes
Cooking time: 1.5 hours – 2 hours
- 4 cups water
- 1 cup dried tomato pieces (about 20 slices)
- 1 cup beef jerky pieces (in 1/2-inch chunks)
- 1 cup dried peeled potato slices
- 1 Tablespoon dried bell pepper pieces
- 1 Tablespoon dried onion pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried garlic
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 fresh carrot, sliced (optional)
- 1 Can of corn (optional)
- 1 cup cooked and dried short-grain rice
In a large saucepan, combine 3 cups of the water, tomatoes, beef jerky, potatoes, bell pepper, onion, basil, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes to hydrate… you know, because it's all dried out.
Place pan over medium heat (if using a campfire, just raise the pan from the flame) and bring to a boil. Add carrot and corn (if you are using them.). Simmer for about 30 minutes to an hour, until jerky is tender.
Meanwhile, combine rice (or noodles) with remaining water and bring to a boil.
With rice, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes to hydrate. Return to boil, partially cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 15 to 30 minutes. (C'mon, you know how to make rice don't you?)
If using noodles… follow the directions on the noodle box. We will not be held responsible for your destroyed noodles.
Now, just take that hot stewy goodness and pour it over rice, or your destroyed noodles.
This recipe serves about three to four people. Enjoy!

Extension Educator, Horticulture
If you need a reason to get your overstuffed body out of your overstuffed chair, why not venture outside to appreciate the native trees of Illinois. Prairies and farm fields are the common images of Illinois landscapes; however, trees are also an integral part of our Illinois heritage.
Just a few facts about Illinois trees:
This is a great time to get outside. Once trees have shed their leaves each bony branch and twisted trunk in the forest tells a story. To make the journey even more fun consider getting involved in the Illinois Big Tree Register to locate and nominate champion trees native to Illinois. Initiated in 1962 The Illinois Big Tree Register fosters appreciation of Illinois trees and provides a format to discover and record the largest native tree species in the state. The Illinois Big Tree Register is part of a cooperative effort between the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, and the National Register of Big Trees.
A few of the state champions are nearby. The largest yellow buckeye (Aesculus flava) is in Danville. State champions white ash (Fraxinus americana), chestnut oak (Quercus prinus) and Kentucky coffeetree (Gymnocladus dioicus) are in Springfield. State champion green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica) is in Clinton and Charleston is home to the state champion hackberry (Celtis occidentalis).
I'm sure there are plenty of undocumented champion trees just waiting for someone to notice their grandeur and nominate them. Everyone is encouraged to submit their nominations to the Illinois Big Tree Register. For a complete list of champion native trees and their locations and how to get involved in The Illinois Big Tree Register http://web.extension.illinois.edu/forestry
If trees as lumber is more your thing, join us for the workshop "Recovering and Utilizing Hardwood Trees" on Thursday, December 1 from 8am-4pm at the Rantoul Recreation Center 100 East Flessner Avenue in Rantoul, IL. The workshop instructs municipal forest managers and arborists on how to obtain the highest possible use for the wood from their urban and suburban trees. This program deals with management issues such as markets, contracts and other removal considerations. A morning of classroom instruction is followed by hands-on outdoor sessions concerning log and standing tree grading, whole log removals, sawmill demonstrations, and insight into the lumber produced by urban trees.
The program is offered thanks to: Illinois Emerald Ash Borer Wood Utilization Team, Purdue University, USDA APHIS and PPQ, IDNR, Illinois Arborist Association, University of Illinois Extension and The Village of Rantoul. 6.75 CEUs available for arborists. Cost is $35 including lunch and materials.
For more information: Carrie Tauscher, Illinois EAB Wood Utilization Team Administrator, firstname.lastname@example.com, 630-719-5646 or register online.

CHARLOTTETOWN – The toughest pacing mares east of Toronto will battle for top honours at Red Shores Racetrack and Casino at the Charlottetown Driving Park on Thursday.
First-race post time for the 12-dash program is 7 p.m.
The Race 11 Fillies and Mares Open has Bunny Mach and General Luckpercy fresh off victories in the Atlantic Aged Pacing Mares Series in Summerside on Saturday, with an invader from the United States added into the mix.
Bunny Mach is riding a two-race win streak from Post 7 for trainer-driver Jason Hughes and owners Donald and Steven MacRae of Vernon Bridge. She will face off with Andro Madi (Dale Spence) from Post 3, and General Luckypercy (Brian MacPhee) has Post 4.
A newcomer to Charlottetown, For All We Know, holds Post 1 for driver Ron Matheson, trainer Jackie Matheson and owner Bruce Wood of Marshfield. The seven-year-old Rocknroll Hanover mare boasts $154,703 in lifetime earnings, and a mark of 1:53.1 at The Meadows in Pennsylvania. She was racing a $12,500 claimer at Yonkers Raceway in New York.
Also in the field of mares are JK Special (Walter Cheverie), Stayoutofmyaffair (Kenny Arsenault), Brodys Leona (Corey MacPherson) and Veronicavermillion (Brodie MacPhee).
A compact field of six open trotters will compete in Race 4 for a purse of $1,850. Four of the entrants have been winners in this class in the past few weeks, and classifier Gerard Smith has selected Zip The Lip as the morning-line favourite from Post 2.
Brian MacPhee will drive the Ken Warkentin trotter for co-owner and trainer Donald Sweet and co-owner Orville Willis, both of O'Leary.
He will get all he can handle from his competition, which includes Pleasure Girls (Cheverie), Caliban Hanover (Ron Gass), Lyrical Lindy (Jason Hughes), Saulsbrook Balance (Willie Murphy) and Abundaspin (Harold Shepherd).
The back-up pace has a very tough field of six competing for a $2,000 purse. Carnivore (Marc Campbell) is favoured fresh off a 1:55.1 victory in Summerside on Saturday night. His main challenges will come from Judge Jon (Mike Stevenson) and Perfect Escape (Ron Matheson).

A quintessentially classic Spanish shellfish-based recipe
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 2 green peppers
- saffron
- saffron powder (or mild paprika)
- grilled or roasted red peppers (cut into strips)
- spanish paella rice
- 400 g squid (cut into pieces)
- 500 g shrimp or other shellfish
- 1 dozen large prawns
- 1 l fish stock
- 1 kilo of clams or other shellfish
- 2 dozen mussels (cooked and on the half shell)
- 250 g peas, shelled (or tinned petits pois)
- olive oil
- salt
- glass of white wine
- little tomato puree
- 6 lemons
- Begin by cooking the mussels in a little water or wine - allow to cool and strain and reserve the liquid.
- Peel and crush the garlic; de-seed the green pepper and dice finely.
- In a paella pan, saute the garlic in some olive oil and stir constantly. After two minutes, add the green pepper and allow this to cook for 5 minutes. Keep stirring and do not allow the garlic to burn.
- Next, add the clams and allow them to open. This will release their juices adding to the flavour.
- Then add the saffron and stir in followed by a small pinch of saffron powder, to colour. Allow to cook for another minute and add all the peas.
- When this has been done, add the rice (one cup per person) and stir in together with the shrimp. Stir constantly and add no more than a teaspoon of tomato puree.
- Continue to stir the rice for a few minutes, adding fish stock a little at a time. Allow to settle in the pan, and then reduce the heat.
- Allow this to continue to cook over a low heat adding more fish stock if necessary for around another 8 to ten minutes or until the rice is 'just so'.
- In the meantime garnish on top with the whole prawns and strips of red pepper.
- Serve immediately (after leaving to rest for 5 minutes) and garnish with wedges of lemon.

|Tis the Season. . .to Do Thomas More. . .Fa la la la la, la, la, la
|Written by Sherry
|Saturday, 23 June 2007 07:31
As part of our St. Thomas More weekend (ok, we missed the feast day itself but we know Thomas is the reason for the season!)take a look at this:
It is a very cool multi-media exploration of the beautiful 1593 painting (based upon Hans Holbein's 1520's sketch) of St. Thomas More and his extended family.
You can zoom in to see every detail, read bios of each family member and learn about the clothing, architecture, furniture, garden, and books that are portrayed in the painting. Thomas More fans like myself and history buffs in general will love it.
