Cultural entrepreneurship and the Banff Television Festival
Cultural entrepreneurship involves a conception, an initial launch, and a transition to an established event. Each stage generates "wicked" coordination and financial challenges. We explore this important process by examining the history of the Banff Television Festival, an annual event featuring a competition, workshops, and providing a forum for developing projects. The documentation indicates that the anticipated problems of nonprofit activities — inefficient administration, crude management systems, slow adaptation and little innovation — were not characteristic of the Banff experience. Well informed industry "customers" and patrons have established an environment which generally encouraged managerial competence and creativity. This benign result may not generalize to other cultural initiatives, in particular to those that serve the public directly and draw patronage from diverse sources.

Fox aired game two of the World Series on Thursday night, another victory for the San Francisco Giants, and fast affiliate ratings have the network on par for another strong performance with adults 18-49 -- though CBS topped the demo.
An even episode of The Big Bang Theory (4.8 rating with adults 18-49) topped the night. The comedy led into Two and a Half Men, which was down eight percent from last week's season high to a 3.0 adults rating. Person of Interest was up two tenths of a point to a 3.0 adults rating, while Elementary lost a tenth of a point for a 2.2 in the demo.

ABC's Last Resort took a big hit against baseball. The freshman drama dropped 24 percent to a 1.3 rating with adults 18-49. Grey's Anatomy also saw a season low, dropping 15 percent to a 2.9 adults rating, though Scandal (2.0 adults rating) did manage to grow a tenth of a point from last week.
Though nearly all NBC series saw boosts on Thursday night, some of those increases may change after a NFL preemption in Minneapolis is considered for fast national returns. As it stands, 30 Rock was up a tenth of a point for a 1.3 rating with adults 18-49. Up All Night jumped three tenths of a point to a 1.6 adults rating. The Office was steady with a 2.1 in the demo, and Parks & Recreation was up three tenths of a point to a 1.9 adults rating. Rock Center With Brian Williams, up 44 percent, posted a 1.3 adults rating.

WA Lege Day 38: Flights of fancy for the N Spokane corridor
OLYMPIA -- Getting $35 million for the North Spokane corridor was a big deal, even over on the other side of the state.
Gov. Chris Gregoire, Senate Majority Leader Lisa Brown and Sen. Chris Marr all made the trip over for the ceremony. Rep. John Driscoll, who has a chunk of the road in his 6th Legislative District was interested in coming along, but the governor's staff said the plane was already full.
Driscoll booked a commercial flight out of Sea-Tac and made it to Spokane in time for the 10 a.m. ceremony, hs staff said. Unfortunately for the governor and her group, the fog kept them in Olympia for a while longer. The media event was rescheduled for 11 a.m., to give the fog time to lift and let them make the flight.
"They got there eventually, the ceremonial check changed hands, ceremonial words were spoken, and Driscoll headed back to Olympia," legislative aide Dan Frizzell noted in a press release. "Flying coach."Which begs the question: Why didn't the governor and everyone else fly coach, too?

Let the Adventure begin - First stop.
... really early here - 4:30 a.m. and goes down at 6:30 p.m. They do not do daylight savings time here. The sun is very bright and beautiful. Haven't gone to a Starbucks or McDonalds yet even though I saw 2 of them. The weather here in Sendai area has been sunny, warm at plus 22 - 24 degrees Celsius. Humidity has been 65 - 85 ...
The perils of walking alone in the dark
... down and touch it. There was no light here, and the moon had hidden behind the forests in the distance up above. Besides that, there was a white car parked very close to it. Why would a car be parked here, at this time of night? It made me incredibly uncomfortable. Consider, if you will, how you would feel walking through a dark forest, and you saw a car parked by the road. Granted, it wasn't actually the middle of the night or anything, but the lack of daylight and the crushing ...
Made a short stop in Bebai just outside of Saporro so Thom could have a few private moments with the plane, but not before the gaggle of reporters and photographers waiting for us to land got their interviews. They were the quietest, politest reporters I've ever seen, almost reluctant to ask questions. And some never uttered a word. But the next morning we saw one of the articles and the picture looked good. Can't tell you what it ...
Samurai Houses and a paradise bay
We left the Onsen in the morning and went back to Kakunodate to visit the Samurai houses. At the station you can always leave the baggage in coin lockers, so we could make the walk through the town in a more relaxed way.
Unfortunately it was pouring rain that we became wet - even with the umbrellas and were happy to get inside these samurai houses. They are very big, some of them even free of charge to visit
Later we travelled ...
Closing shows in Sendai
Had our las two shows of Sendai today, the audience was great in both of them, maintaining the energy towards the pre show that all of the previous shows had. Tonight, Lennea, Chris, Brittany and myself went for dinner and to buy some last minute supplies for our trip to Mount Fuji tomorrow ...

Chris McGarry
Chris McGarry was born on the Mississippi, raised on hymns and ballads and is currently living in the Internet age on Capitol Hill — that much we know. And sure enough, his debut full-length reflects this: It's rootsy, full of banjo and lap steel and twang, but there's also some Saddle Creek and other miscellaneous indie rock in there. So the cover image of stark rootsiness, with McGarry eating straight from a can of black beans, really only tells part of the story. Half the album's content deals with city life, including "Brooklyn Bound," which is something no one seeking anything down-home would be. There are a couple clever lyrical turns here, but many more vague stanzas that don't quite amount to poetry. What happens from here is anyone's guess: Concrete cowboys have turned into everything from frauds to geniuses. Smart money here leans toward somewhere in between.

Charming cottage - In a quiet hamlet,with lovely views in Najac, one of the most beautiful villages in France.
Maison Jasmin in a 18th century stone cottage lovingly restored to modern comforts recently. It is located just three kilometres away from the medieval hilltop village of Najac, officially listed as "l'un des plus beaux villages de France" (one of the most beautiful villages of France). Close to the Aveyron Gorges, with vistas of rolling countryside, this property has recently been renovated to a very high standard and affords comfort and charm with a spacious garden and a 6m x 4m " plunge " swimming pool. This tastefully restored sunny cottage sleeps four in two double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. One of the bedrooms can be converted into a twin (two single beds) upon request.This property is owned and managed by the same team as the well known Maison Safran which has been a delight to our guests for the past ten years.
Top Traveller Review
Lovely property but sadly property manager unreasonably withheld £25 from damages deposit.
You are expected to do a lot of cleaning on departure, we left the property very clean and tidy but were still charged £25 after much negotiation.
About the Owner
About Karen King
I am a retired senior bank executive and my wife is a social worker. This property is a labor of love for us and we are delighted with the way the renovations and upgrades to the property have created a tranquil and relaxing setting. Our Property is managed by Karen and David King, an English couple, who have lived in the area for twenty years. We are in a position to provide you with excellent advice on places of interest, restaurants and outdoor activities to make your holiday truly enjoyable.
Karen King purchased this cottage in 2005
Why Karen King chose Aveyron
We have been visiting France for the past twenty five years and fell in love with Southern France a long time ago. Najac has history, unspoilt countryside, excellent restaurants, modern conveniences and generally no crowds.
What makes this cottage unique
All our rooms rooms are bright and airy and the views from our porch are truly memorable. Great to blend tradition with comfort inside the cottage by preserving it's stone walls and exposed beams.
Guestbook comments from the owner

A well appointed kitchen, excellent amenities, a serene setting and a great spot for day trips. We loved our stay in September 2012. We will be back. G.S. 2012

Lovely property but sadly property manager unreasonably withheld £25 from damages deposit.
We had a very pleasant stay at Jasmine and made great use of the lovely garden and pool. The sink is in a different room to the rest of the kitchen which is unusual and when carrying hot pans rather dangerous.
You are expected to do a lot of cleaning on departure, we left the property very clean and tidy but were still charged £25 after much negotiation.
Great property with everything you need for a wonderful time in the Najac area
The exterior photos of the property & grounds don't do it justice, it's even nicer in reality.
It has all mod-cons, everything is in a very good condition. The beds are super comfortable.
It's a decent leisurely 40 minute walk into Najac (or 5 min drive) which is a brilliant large village with superb night markets on Wednesdays.
There are some fantastic vineyards in Gaillac, about 30 mins' drive south.
We had some niggles: the property is not as secluded as we'd have liked - only about 30% of the grounds are not overlooked in some way. The kitchen sink is strangely in a separate galley - not the end of the world. Either the dishwasher isn't great or French dishwasher tabs aren't great. Some of our questions to the owner/manager remained unanswered. All in all though we really enjoyed spending 2 weeks here.
Excellent rural chill-out zone
This pretty little gite is well set up for a relaxing French-style holiday....no microwave meals here! There is a little raised pool to cool off and relax by, pretty gardens with extensive views, birds by day and bats by night (along with a friendly owl or two). The lovely neighbour is currently refurbishing a house/gite opposite, but they work very slowly and quietly. The Campsite along the lane has a bar and also serves food.
It is a 20 min walk into Najac for bread and basic provisions, and a 10 min drive in the opposite direction for the Intermarche. The only comment we could make is that a welcome pack would have avoided that initial strain of finding and doing the shop immediately...but perhaps we are novices (or have been previously spoiled)!
The one small problem (with the tv) was quickly resolved...at least to our satisfaction.
We would go again, if only to do more stargazing and to enjoy the pastoral peace.

Activity and Interests
Special interest holidays:
Just three kilometres away from Maison Jasmin is the beautifully preserved, fairytale-like, fortified bastide of Najac. The old town occupies a long and narrow rocky ridge overlooking a bend in the Aveyron river dominated by an impregnable castle. Laid out in the Middle Ages, the main square accommodated large markets and fairs and continues to do so today. Sunday market in Najac is very popular with the local residents as well as tourists.
There are several excellent restaurants ranging from 2 Michelin recommended restaurants to an artisanal bakery to several family-friendly establishments in Najac. (All have outdoor dining areas and many have stunning views of the surrounding valleys). For the more active, there is kayaking, rock climbing, horse back riding, tennis and fishing. Najac is a place you will never forget.
Maison Jasmin is situated in Sourbins, Najac with vistas of rolling hills in the lush countryside.
A20 motorway affords easy access to channel ports and the rest of France
Fly Ryanair to Rodez (1 hour from Rodez airport)
Fly Easyjet, BA or Flybe to Toulouse (80 minutes from Toulouse airport)
By road from channel ports is about 8 hrs via toll-free A20 motorway
Nearest Travel Links
Airport: Rodez: 70 km
Railway: Najac: 5 km
Further Details:
Convenient air links and the new A20 motorway have recently enabled access to the department of Aveyron, one of the few unspoiled areas of France where traditional French country lifestyle still remains. It is an area of hidden valleys, stunning river gorges (the Aveyron, Lot and Tarn rivers are all nearby), rolling wooded hills and superb cuisine.
Villefranche de Rouergue, a famous bastide town with the highly popular Thursday market and three superstores, is a 15 minute drive away. Also easily accessed are World Heritage Site Conques, the amazing Cathedral and Toulouse Lautrec Museum at Albi, Cordes Sur Ciel (an ancient, well-preserved hilltop village), Belcastel, Saint Antonin de Noble Val, and many other ancient villages set on the Aveyron and Lot rivers. A visit to the Roquefort cheese caves, the vineyards of Marcillac, Gaillac and Cahors or Norman Foster's breathtaking new bridge at Millau all make for an interesting day out.

Grave Destinations
By Lori Sjoberg

Jack Deverell leaned against the starboard rail, watching the ship's slow departure from Port Canaveral. He felt a faint shudder as the boat picked up speed, cruising between two tiny tugboats on its way out to sea. On the top deck, the pulsing beat of samba music blared from the speakers as passengers celebrated the beginning of a seven-day Caribbean adventure. A few minutes later the deep bellow of the ship's horn cut through the air, eliciting a chorus of raucous cheers from the crowd.
He could have booked a flight to his destination, could have been there and back in the time it would take the ship to reach the tiny island of St. Angelique. But part of him was in no hurry, preferring to extend the trip and delay his inevitable disappointment.
He hoped this time would prove different from all the others, he really did. But continual failure made it difficult to fight his growing cynicism. For years he'd traveled the globe, consulting with every mystic, psychic, seer, and shaman he could locate. All promised. None delivered. With that kind of batting record, it was getting harder to remain optimistic.
So, no, he was in no hurry to hammer another nail in the coffin of his hopes and dreams.
He pulled his wallet from the back pocket of his jeans, thumbing through the billfold until he found the small scrap of paper, the crease folded and unfolded so many times it had almost worn a hole. In spite of his doubts, he prayed Madam Cassandra was right about the abilities of Jolie Duquette. He'd give Ms. Duquette damn near anything to break the curse that had plagued him for more years than he cared to count.
For better or for worse, he'd have his answer in three days' time.
In the meantime, he had nothing to do but relax and enjoy the scenery. With more than four thousand passengers and crew on board, the Sunshine of the Caribbean was a floating city devoted to the fine art of decadence. Alcohol flowed like water, while inhibitions were nonexistent, a Sodom and Gomorrah of the high seas.
A stunning young blonde in a pair of short shorts and a purple bikini top sauntered past, a drink in one hand and a cell phone pressed against her ear. She was pretty, in a drunken party girl kind of way, young and brazen with an air of self-assurance that couldn't be faked. She eyed Jack with open interest as she sipped her mai tai, giving him an inviting smile as she headed toward the shallow end of the pool.
He sensed her attraction, could feel the warm blast of sensuality from twenty feet away, curling around him like a lover's embrace.
His darker nature noticed it too. Jack felt it stir inside, urging him to take advantage of the situation, to seize the opportunity and feed its insatiable hunger for raw, unbridled lust.
"No," he murmured through clenched teeth, pushing back against the powerful rush of desire pulsing through his body. Gripping the rail, he closed his eyes and took deep breaths until the craving cooled from a boil to a simmer, under control but still lurking beneath the surface.
Watching. Waiting.
A little over a week had passed since he'd last given in to the curse. He needed to feed it soon or risk losing control. Again. That simply wasn't an option. The last time it happened he'd gone on an all-night bender, slaking his lust like a junkie on a binge. He'd been powerless to stop it, watching himself behave like an animal but unable to curb his own actions. In the end he'd felt cheap, and dirty, and somewhere lower than human.
Over the years, he'd gotten much better at controlling the cravings. It was a difficult juggling act, maintaining the proper balance to keep the beast at bay. Too little and it became ravenous and unpredictable. Too much and it grew stronger than he could handle. It was a fine line to tread, a narrowly defined path offering little margin for error.
On deck, the music changed to a bass-heavy techno beat. The blonde gave him one final lingering look before turning her attention to a tall, lanky guy dressed in neon orange board shorts and a tank top with "Official Bikini Inspector" scrawled across the chest.
Easy come, easy go.
"She was too young for you anyway."
Jack's gaze cut to the right, to the gorgeous redhead standing a few feet away. Slender yet curvy, she was leaning against the rail with her back to the ocean, holding one of those frozen girly drinks with a chunk of pineapple jammed against the rim. Her face held an expression of amusement, about what, he didn't know.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me," she said, a sly smile curving lush crimson lips. There was a distinct Southern drawl to her voice, a sultry purr that fired his imagination. "I'd be surprised if that girl's old enough to drive. You should be ashamed of yourself, robbing the cradle like that."
"I didn't—" Jack paused to give the redhead a long appraising look. She was tall for a woman, loose-limbed and long-legged with the kind of soft, feminine features that made a man want to settle in for a good, long while. Her pale skin led him to believe that red was indeed her natural hair color. Throw in the high cheekbones and vibrant green eyes, and she made one hell of a package.
"Settle down, I was only kidding." The redhead chuckled, a rich throaty sound that warmed his blood and stirred the curse. She held her hand out to him. "The name's Ruby. Pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Her skin felt warm and soft, her grip firm and confident.
"Pleasure's all mine. I'm Jack." He held her hand a little longer than necessary and sensed an undeniable flare of attraction on Ruby's behalf. Attraction, and something else he couldn't quite identify.
"Is this your first cruise?" she asked, her fingers absently toying with the delicate pink choker fastened around her neck.
"No, but it's been a while. You?"
"First time for me." And she didn't look exactly thrilled about it, which might explain why her back faced the water. She sipped her drink, her lipstick leaving a dark red ring around the straw. "I'm not real big on boats."
Definitely not the response he expected. Curious, he asked, "Then why did you go on a cruise?"
"Boss booked it for me," she said by way of explanation, her Southern accent laced with irritation. She took a long pull from her drink, leaving the glass close to empty. Then the smile returned, brilliant and with a dash of sensuality he damn near felt in his gut. "You know how it is. It's not wise to say no to the boss."
"Understandable." He paused while a trio of older women walked by, huddled close and giggling like teenagers. "So what kind of work do you do?"
"Oh, this and that," she said with a casual wave of her hand. The ocean breeze kicked up, wreaking havoc on her long, red hair. She reached up, tucking the loose strands behind her ears. "Mainly, I'm a collector."
"Collector of what?"
Ruby chuckled again, another one of those rich, throaty laughs that made his imagination run wild and had the curse chomping at the bit. It was both fascinating and disturbing, how easily she managed to shake his equilibrium. He inhaled deeply, forcing his darker half to play nice.
"Let's save that subject for another day." Finished with her drink, she set the empty glass on a nearby table. Then her eyes locked with his, bright with the kind of mischief that got a man into serious trouble. "A girl's got to keep some secrets, doesn't she?" She pushed away from the rail. "I'll let you go back to checking out all the pretty girls. See you around, Jack."
He watched while she took a leisurely stroll across the deck, appreciating the rear view almost as much as he'd enjoyed the front. Hips swinging, she drew the attention of every red-blooded heterosexual man she passed, a fact that left him unexpectedly annoyed. She stopped at the poolside bar for another drink, then glanced over her shoulder and gave him a smile and a finger wave before disappearing through the sliding glass doors leading to the lower decks.
It took him a few minutes to get his brain back in proper working order, to calm his baser urges so he could function like a civilized human being. Only then did he realize something strange and unsettling.
Ruby wasn't human.
God, how she hated boats.
Granted, the fishing trawlers she'd grown up around were nothing compared to this behemoth, but it still sparked unpleasant memories from years long past. The ones she preferred to keep buried deep for the sake of all parties involved.
Too impatient to wait for the next available elevator, Ruby took the stairs down to deck three. Most of the passengers were still partying it up on the top decks, giving the lower levels the abandoned feel of that hotel in The Shining. As she walked down the long corridor, she kept track of the room numbers, counting down until she reached 318. She slid the key card into the slot, waiting for the little green light to blink before trying the door.
"Son of a bitch," she muttered as she entered the cabin and flicked on the light.
Leave it to Samuel to book her a cabin the size of her walk-in closet back home. Two narrow beds flanked opposite sides of the room, with a miniature vanity wedged in between. The bathroom was located near the door, complete with a shower stall so small there was barely enough room to turn around without getting up close and personal with the shower curtain. On the bright side, interior cabins lacked a view of the ocean.
Thank goodness for small favors.
The porters had already delivered her suitcases, so she took the time to unpack her belongings, hanging everything that would fit in the narrow closet by the bathroom. The rest she jammed in the top two drawers of the vanity. She arranged her toiletry items along the bathroom countertop and lined up her extra pairs of shoes by the side of the bed.
Now what?
Restless and annoyed, Ruby plopped down on one of the beds, the springs squeaking lightly under her weight. She was on board to complete one solitary assignment, one that wouldn't come to pass for another fifty-three hours. One unfortunate soul, scheduled to break from its mortality at approximately nine forty-eight Tuesday evening.
As a reaper, it was her responsibility to harvest the soul and guide it to its final destination. Until then she was free to pass the time as she pleased, a concept she was no longer accustomed to. Normally, her days revolved around her scheduled assignments: where to go, how to get there, and how to collect the souls without mortal detection or intervention.
How to cope with the constant exposure to death. Bar none, that was the most difficult aspect of the job, the one she still struggled with after nearly half a century.
Odd, in all the time she'd served as a reaper, she'd never gotten a job outside her jurisdiction. Deaths in exotic locations were typically considered plum assignments. And since she'd never played enough politics to land one, she had no idea why she'd drawn the lucky straw this time.
Maybe her former boss had pulled a few strings as some sort of farewell present. He'd transferred to Miami just a few months before, so it certainly wasn't beyond the realm of possibility. But if that were the case, why this job? He knew how Ruby felt about boats. Next time they spoke, she'd have to ask.
She smiled when her thoughts strayed to Jack. He was probably still on the top deck, enjoying the party as it kicked into high gear across international waters. She'd been drawn to him the moment she spotted him standing by the rail. Without a doubt, he provided a testament to the wonders of masculinity—broad shoulders and toned muscles coupled with short dark hair, a square jaw, and the most striking brown eyes she'd ever seen. His vitality ran amazingly strong—a deep, steady rumble like a Harley on the highway. But there was something else about him, an intangible allure that drew her to him like metal to a magnet.
Maybe it was because he'd looked so serious, as if the weight of the world rested on those big, strong shoulders. She'd always been a sucker for the type, drawn to the challenge of loosening the tightly bound, just to see what could happen when they finally lost control and threw caution to the wind.
No matter the reason, she'd make a point of seeking him out later. He intrigued and attracted, a combination that piqued her interest and had her determined to sample the benefits he had to offer.
After all, she owed it to herself. A couple months had passed since she'd ended things with Adam. She hadn't taken another lover in that time, and the stretch of celibacy was starting to make her twitchy.
"All settled in, I see."
Ruby froze, her heart in her throat. She hadn't heard his voice in over twenty years, the distinguished British accent that bordered on the edge of snooty. Samuel rarely mingled with the little people, preferring to delegate through an impenetrable layer of middle management.
She turned her head toward the sound of his voice and found Samuel perched on the chair beside the vanity. He looked just as prim and proper as the last time she'd seen him, a refined English gentleman with an edge sharper than steel. No one knew how long he'd lorded over Death, and no one dared to ask. He ruled with an iron fist and absolute power, executing Fate's directives with ruthless efficiency.
Still, she didn't take kindly to folks popping into her room uninvited. What if she hadn't been decent? "You got it, boss man. Thanks so much for the luxurious accommodations." She made no effort to mask her sarcasm.
If Samuel noticed, he didn't let it show. Instead he smiled, and the sharp, angular lines of his face reminded her of a crocodile. "My pleasure." He crossed one leg over the other, his posture so rigid he barely made any creases in his finely tailored suit. "You should be pleased. Fate personally chose you for this assignment. It's a rare honor."
Honor? Was he kidding? "Do you have any idea how much I hate boats?"
"Of course I do. But this is more than just a boat, Ms. Dawson. This is a city at sea, a shrine to hedonism." He met her gaze, his dark eyes devoid of emotion. "I assumed you'd feel right at home."
Bastard. How dare he judge her? She considered saying something about assumptions but had enough sense to bite back the comment. Samuel wasn't known for his gentle demeanor, which meant it was in her best interest to maintain some semblance of diplomacy. So instead she asked, "Why did Fate pick me for this?"
The question had lingered in her mind since receiving news of the assignment. Why her? Why now? Why did it have to be on the flipping Titanic?
In the grand scheme of things, reapers worked for Death, and Death fell under the direct authority of Fate. Ruby knew of no one who had ever met Fate. She was an elusive figure, and if a reaper popped up on her radar it usually wasn't good.
Samuel rose from the chair in one fluid movement. "Fate has her reasons. It's unwise to question her judgment." His focus tracked across the room before shifting back to Ruby. A sense of foreboding emanated from him, a silent warning that spoke far more than words. "You're about to be tested, my dear. Being on board is the least of your concerns."
Now that didn't sound good. The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. "Tested how?"
Samuel gave her a dispassionate shake of the head. "That is something I am not at liberty to disclose. All I can say is the boundaries of your comfort zone are about to be broken. Prepare yourself."
Prepare for what? What boundaries? Why the cryptic messages instead of a straight answer?
Someone knocked on the door before Ruby had the chance to press Samuel for more information. She crossed the tiny room in three long strides, checking the peephole before opening the door.
"Welcome aboard," said a young Hispanic man in ship's uniform. With his wide eyes and cherubic face, he reminded her of a little kid playing dress up. He held out a plate covered by a shiny silver dome. "Complimentary fruit plate," he said as he removed the cover, revealing a small platter of apples, oranges, and grapes.
"Well, bless your heart." Ruby smiled as she accepted the plate. She had no idea what she was going to do with so much fruit, but she still appreciated the gesture. "Isn't that sweet of him?" she asked as she turned back toward Samuel.
The room was empty.
Two hours later, Jack found himself searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Deep in a rustic canyon, tucked away in the bedroom of his beautiful glass home, wrapped tightly in a hospice hospital bed, buried behind the damage of another stroke, my father is dying.
His muted dark eyes stare out at me full of undelivered communications and I am overwhelmed with loss. He'll never tell me what he thinks I should do again. He's 93 and for all of those years minus the last three months, he's run his life pretty much the way he's wanted to. My brother and I, both in our 60s, still think an event hasn't completely happened to us unless he knows about it too--unless he's given us his thoroughly mulled over feedback. In fact, it's only been since he started to have small strokes and TIAs that all of us, including his granddaughters, have begun keeping things from him. If the news included a family member, he couldn't take it; his reactions invariably sent his blood pressure off the charts.
He didn't miss knowing. But we missed telling.
When do you stop needing a father? Never, if you were lucky enough to get a father like mine. Someone to watch over you, be there no matter what, be critical but supportive, a teacher of just about anything in the world, firm but kind, stubborn but flexible about his family, and a real cheerleader. An intellectual and a manager, a technical engineer and an English lit scholar, my father pushed me to reach past the mundane on the chance of glimpsing the exceptional. His demanding voice still drives me through songwriting, editing, and prose. And lucky me, the few things he didn't drum in, my mother modeled scorchingly well: Tell the truth whether they like it or not.
After her death in 1989, my father became "my parents." He emerged so vividly, so ready to make sure the continuity of the family was maintained, we all just fell in line. When I came all the way out and took a job as an editor at a gay publication, he was pleased. As long as the work I produced was good and teaching me something, he was a proud father. When my partner and I got legally married in California in 2008 after being together 20 years, he managed to pull his failing health together and be there. He loved both his daughter-in-laws in that total, fair-and-square way he insisted on. And one afternoon recently, while I worked on his bookkeeping, I got to overhear him tell my wife how good she was and how she always made things a little better for everyone including him. "Judy is a lucky girl." I wonder how many LGBTs in this world like me long for and finally get such total acceptance from their parents?
Dad was never a great socializer. Going to parties or hanging out with friends pretty much died for him when my mother passed away. She was his main transportation to other worlds outside his home. For him it was all about "the family." If he did let himself go, he had plenty to share. He loved to talk about movies, the theater, finance, science, politics, and, of course, what life was like when he was young. His values are the values of a smaller, less jaded world. The grey areas of the second millennium troubled him deeply, and he worried about how his granddaughters would navigate them. He also worried about if they had gotten their flu shots.
So where do we go when we're finally gone? Everybody has a theory, but nobody really knows. Whether you believe we go to Heaven or we go to Hell or we go nowhere or we go everywhere, no matter what your personal belief systems are, there's one thing that's certain: we carry each other on. So if in no other way, my father will be eternal because I am alive and I carry on his genes, his opinions, his values, his ideas, his arguments, his love and support for so many things, even me. (Learning that last one is big.) And after me, my wife, my brother, and his wife, will come his granddaughters who already have his voice so firmly in their heads, they rework anything they're about to do if they find themselves thinking: We'll never tell Grandpa about this!
So now I can only lean across the bed and into his frightened face, smooth his long, curly white hair, and tell him over and over what a great job he's done and that he can finally rest and let it go. His work here is done. We will never stop loving and needing him, but we've got him deep inside us forever. In addition to being ourselves for the rest of our lives, we are all Jack Wieder now.

State tax inspectors target O.C. cityDecember 30th, 2009, 11:30 am by Jan Norman, small-business columnist
Stanton retailers will soon receive visits from state inspectors searching for unpaid sales taxes.
The California State Board of Equalization has sent letters to businesses in Stanton's 90680 ZIP code and 20 other cities that its inspectors will visit their shops and neighboring businesses.
Owners will have to show that their businesses have appropriate sales permits or licenses and are paying taxes, the board said.
The visits are part of an ongoing program to maximize tax collections at a time when the state budget has been in deficit. The board says more than $2 billion in sales taxes have not been paid.
Inspectors have already visited about 100,000 businesses statewide including in Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Westminster and Garden Grove.Read the rest of this entry »

I think it's awesome. I am very surprized how much clarity it has . especially for the price. I am excited to explor its potencal and courious finding and seeing things in the dark that not having this you wouldn't even know something was even there.........
I am a professional wildlife rescuer and exclusion tech. This product is amazing for the price. If you follow the simple instructions, focus the eye piece for your eye with the cap on, then focus the object lens as instructed per view you will have excellent results. If you realize that only the center portion of the image is the highest resolution, (just like our own eye is, we only see in detail in the center and our eyes scan with that portion to gain detailed data for the brain to process) do the same and you will find it does a great job. That is the way this technology is designed. Some light scanning of the tree line is fine but that is not the best way to use such a device. For constant scanning use your eyes and avoid looking towards any lighting switching to and from good pair of binoculars, then grab your Night Owl to take a 'real look' at that questionable sound or object, or for a slow once over scan around if you are hunting hogs or some other legal night game. Do not expect to use it to walk through a dark woods or to sit and scan for hours unless you want to fall over something or get a head ache. That is not what this technology is for.
I just got this product a few hours ago, but the picture is great, nice and bright. I was amazed at how well they worked for the price. I will make room for them on my next hiking trip.
I am an avid outdoors person and this works great! You can see very far away and the its clear. Love this product.

Forming questions is often very difficult for English language learners. If you have a die (or a pair of dice), you can make a game of asking questions. Assign each number a question word; for example, one is who, two is what, three is where, four is when, five is why, and six is how. Roll the die, and your learner (and/or you) should ask a question using that word. The question and answer may also spark a very interesting conversation.
"Gentle" is a description used by librarians for books that contain little objectionable material and are generally light, hopeful, and uplifting in tone. Staples of this genre include Jan Karon's Mitford Years series, Ann B.

The last execution by electrocution took place in 1966. The first execution by lethal injection in Oklahoma occurred in 1990.
According to R. Michael Wilson, thirty-one men were hanged and thirty-six men were executed by firing squad in Indian Territory between 1840 and 1899.

On recovery trail after a poor start to the tournament, King XI Punjab would be keen to keep up the momentum when they take on the floundering Rajasthan Royals in an IPL match on Saturday.
On Wednesday, Kings XI pulled off a stunning victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore in the latter's backyard, a win that catapulted them to the top four teams leaving behind even defending champions Chennai Super Kings who have also suffered defeat at their hands in their own den.
It has been a great feat for the franchise, which started with two successive defeats and hamstring injury to their captain Adam Gilchrist even before the tournament had reached the midway stage.

Some of My Best Friends Are Black: The Strange Story of Integration in Americaby Tanner Colby
An incisive and candid look at how America got lost on the way to Dr. King's Promised Land

An incisive and candid look at how America got lost on the way to Dr. King's Promised Land
Almost fifty years after Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, equality is the law of the land, but actual integration is still hard to find. Mammoth battles over forced busing, unfair housing practices, and affirmative action have hardly helped. The bleak fact is that black people and white people in the United States don't spend much time together—at work, school, church, or anywhere. Tanner Colby, himself a child of a white-flight Southern suburb, set out to discover why.
Some of My Best Friends Are Black chronicles America's troubling relationship with race through four interrelated stories: the transformation of a once-racist Birmingham school system; a Kansas City neighborhood's fight against housing discrimination; the curious racial divide of the Madison Avenue ad world; and a Louisiana Catholic parish's forty-year effort to build an integrated church. Writing with a reporter's nose and a stylist's flair, Colby uncovers the deep emotional fault lines set trembling by race and takes an unflinching look at an America still struggling to reach the mountaintop.

As a KC Realtor and as a JoCo kid who grew up in the 1970's (SM West Class of '83) I found the book enlightening to a history I didn't even know existed in our local market. Disturbing to say the least. But also obvious that author grew up in a culture at least 15 years behind mine. I never really knew discrimination until I left KC and went to DC for 15 years. There I got a crash course in an "integrated" neighbothood. As a white guy I saw it from both blacks and whites and was sad for everyone involved. Book is a great read. Author says he puts aside politics but never misses a chance to bust on a Republican administration all the while forgetting it was the Dems calling for easier access to mortgages in the late 90's and early 2000s. But this conservative finds this a must read for everyone.
When I purchased this book it was not quite what I expected by the title but extremely interesting. Having grown up during the time in history in the 50's and 60's when changes were starting to take place, my information about many of the changes was from the perspective of my parents in a white north. They talked about the issues, such as block busting, in a negative way blaming the black community for the things that happened, rather than white greed and exploitation. The author, provided alot of insite into what was and is really behind these issues. In each of the areas he noted the pros and cons of integration that I was not aware of, and the struggles, on both sides of the issue, to resolve some of the problems that lingered throughout the years.
