I'm not old, honest...
The thread you linked above shows that folks on the other forums have the same problem with you that we see here. You ramble on and on with accusations. If a person on that web site said that they wouldn't reveal names, it does not reflect a charter of bylaw of the group as a whole. I don't read there where he is speaking as the voice of the entire group. Your link means nothing to me.

pg. 3 under "new business"/MMRC/first sentance describing the goup's first and last public appearance ever after years operating in the shadows previously....including right on up to this date).
Again, if you guys are willing to allow folks like the above to continually insult your intelligence on matters affecting this community...more power to you.

Yes, the MMRC supported the proposal.
It addresses all 3 types of trail.
Is there any other proposal out there to support?
I don't think so, or at least, I've never seen one.
So now the only folks willing to do the WORK and actually MAKE a proposal are the bad guys?
Non-participation and lack of effort aren't going to get anything done.
Looks to me like they're the good guys.
The ONLY group who's DONE anything.
Where's YOUR proposal? . . . or ANYONE else's?
Like I said before:
The world is run by those who show up.
If you don't like it, SHOW UP!
. . .and be WORTH working WITH!
If you don't present yourself appropriately, you'll end up getting ignored (as people naturally tend to do to those who do not -- It's human nature)

Michigan Motorized Recreation Council (MMRC) Proposal -- R.J. Witte said the MMRC is
comprised of various ORV user groups in Michigan, and does not have officers, directors, constitution,
bylaws or dues. The MMRC acts as a communications network and meets on an as needed basis to
discuss ORV issues. He presented a power point presentation proposing a 725 mile expansion of the
designated ORV trail system. The proposal includes: 1) Parallel the heavily used trail systems with 24
inch trail; 2) Increase the size of selected 24 inch trail to 50 inches; 3) Connect and add to the 72 inch
routes and create new 72 inch routes; and 4) Connect trail systems close to each other with a linear
Mr. Kubisiak reviewed the Departments trail proposal process and the need for sponsor advocates
to take a lead role in the process.
Discussion ensued regarding MMRCs proposal.
Mr. Ranney made a motion, supported by Mr. Dinsmore, to embrace the concept as presented
by the Michigan Motorized Recreation Council. Motion unanimously carried.
I guess I'm an idiot but nowhere in this do I see anything about refusing to name names. AND......... it points out that there are no bylaws.
If this is the one and only time it has been brought up at an ORV meeting, with so little said about it, why is it such a big deal. I don't get it.

"...If you don't like it, SHOW UP!

I made it a point to "show up" at every meeting that was availiable for years.
My last appearance involved outright lies by the very people you defend today; lies propagated so that my simple right to speak out as a citizen of this state was taken away immediately, rudely and without apology.
Please don't preach to me about how the citizens of this state must be "WORTH" listening to or how we will be 'ignored' if you, or any of these people you defend, choose to loudly slam the gavel down right in the middle of our public presentations at these meetings.
We have the right to speak out while demanding that our questions be answered..and we will do so whether you sit on this MMRC council comfortably insulated from the realities of public opinion....or not.
Again, don't throw these buzzwords about 'getting involved' at me, my young friend...and especially if you're a little wet around the ears, yourself.

I really hate to bring up something similiar to what you guys chose to ignore earlier (actually paying to upkeep the side of our roads) ...but without reading any of the above letters...would I be safe to say that none of them included a segment concerning exactly how each individual felt that this new system should be funded?
We just got through pushing through 750 miles of orv trail without commentary from even our all-powerful and super-secret MMRC council regarding (again) the exact same funding-based subject....so who's the 'guru' now crunching these numbers so that the public can make these decisions on a cost analysis basis?
Don't get me wrong, I'll join many on here and pay whatever it takes....yet didn't this arrogantly anonymous council claim just recently that it was MUCH to expensive to allow "over 50 inch" (or under for that matter) machines a mere 5 more inches on trails that were already cut out in most places to that width or wider?
Again, you guys are so interested in splitting this community into as many segments as you can and each with their own agenda (the above is being proposed by what umbrella group that we should all be organized under?)....that even the most basic tenants of project management (namely FUNDING and future sustainable MAINTENANCE) are merely an 'afterthought' that inconveniently gets in the way of folks unconcerned with this seemingly small detail....just about as much as they are with writing the damn letter for themselves in the first place.
You know, it's pretty sad that not two years ago; everybody was praising the CCC/AMA and all these other guys who lead you boys around by the nose...as to how it was such a good idea to start "resting portions of the nasty old system for "[I]the purpose of studying it" while re-routing these trails right around these 'raped' 4x4 areas that were "beyond repair".
Now do a little fast forward regarding this community's "concern" for this HUGE problem...How much do you hear TODAY simply fixing what we have now or the money needed TODAY to both fund this ambitious project and all the others you guys constantly dream up on a daily basis? (including what would also be a big city riding area...if you could downplay the money issue once again...and get away with it?).
TF comes on here claiming that the MMRC hasn't talked funding since he's been there.
The advisory board waits until JUST LAST MONTH to send up some kind of inept smokescreen to the general public about "gee, uhhhh...maybe we'd better form a "funding sub-committee" to make up for the "task force" on funding we formed LAST YEAR...that never met or gave a report on the exact same subject..."
This isn't leadership or anything resembling the appearance of this community actually CARING about the resource or even FIXING what we've broke in it...it's about "business as usual" with nothing but a bunch of clubs now salivating over not only these new trails...but the UNKNOWN price we will pay them to maintain them (and gosh, isn't it funny fow the CCC and all you other guys absolutely HATE the department's recommendation that we might privitize some of this activity to possibly achieve cost-saving economies of scale...with for profit-privitization being a conservative concept that bugs you southeastern big-city/suburbanite liberals...to no end?).
Put your money where your mouths are, guys....while explaining to us what the rest of these grandiose projects are going to cost me AFTER you fix my old system in shameful disrepair...and I'll write that letter.
(and by the way, explain to me how much House Bill 5343 was going to cost or how the "environmental damage" cited there was so much more than this project...and why we just don't throw that true MULTI-USE project on what is fast becomming 'the big project pile' also).
I've had enough...it's not environmentally responsible...and I won't allow myself as an enthusiast to be portrayed in this manner with absolutely no assurances of properly funded resource stewardship.

I guess since you refuse to be polite or remotely PC, I can drop it too?
If you have a question that's one thing, but to make an accusation without doing your research first is quite another.
Actually, funding this IS in my letter, and IS a major portion of the process. Designing the system so that minimum maintenance will be required to begin with will be a primary goal. It MUST be both financially and environmentally sustainable.
The NFS has funding sources available and so do enthusiasts.
The NFS has FAR fewer trails/routes than the Forest Plan states as it's maximum density.
So, there's funding and room for more.
If there wasn't, it wouldn't be happening.
This isn't a State Route program, it's an entirely Federal initiative.
Get the facts before you assume and accuse, it makes you look a bit silly.
Instead of arm-chair quarter-backing, why don't you put your money where your mouth is? Don't post it here. Post it in a letter to the NFS.
Prehaps, because you're so poor with your communication skills that no one will listen to you? For heaven's sake, go down to your local Community College and take a Communications course!
I've stated before that I'm willing to answer any question asked in a polite tone. Have some manners. Ask in a polite tone and I'll answer in a polite tone. Ask with added accusation, innuendo, and attacks, and I too will ignore you. Complain all you want, it won't do you any good until you figure out how to work with others and the systems.
I'm done trying to answer anything for you until you start.
Good bye OMB, good luck figuring things out. I doubt it will be easy for you with that chip on your shoulder.
I ask you:
How many possible allies have turned away from you as a result of your poor behavior?
You can add one more to that count . . . me.
I've made a month long effort to inform and calm you, and don't have any more time or patience to waste on it.
If you are uninformed, it's because you won't hear the answers given.

You claim that funding of any kind hasn't even been discuused by your super-secret and anonymous MMRC to date...yet you want to take Ironman's advice in not providing the simple document that proves this. (if you haven't noticed, Ironman has been long on insults; yet short on tackling even 'one' of the scores of issues brought forth here that both he and you should certainly be up on as our representative members of that same council).
I'm sick and tired of everybody from southeast Michigan looking to the Federal and State government to fund both their social programs and their fun on the weekends.
Please give us the details on how this new system will be funded and why you feel that funding shouldn't/hasn't nbeen discussed at your un-published MMRC meetings....and we'll all quit wondering why this information isn't availiable without bugging you... in the first place.

OMB I am convinced after reading your numerous posts over the last month (which all say the same thing over and over and over and over again) that you really have nothing to contribute to a meaningful conversation about our public lands. You continually attack the handful of people who put forth the time and effort to get involved. You fail to engage people in manner that promotes an exchange of ideas; instead you constantly bash everyone over the head with your opinion and your views, as though your way of thinking is the only correct way to look at a problem. If you don't like the way we do things, if you don't think the efforts we make are useful or if you don't see any value in our opinions, then please go find somewhere else to make your case. You are not winning any converts here, unless they are lurking and not participating in the conversation. Ironman and others have just quit responding to you because there is nothing to be gained by it. You make some valid points every once in a while, but it gets drowned out by the rhetoric and constant accusations, allegations, and innuendos.
Do you have a plan, a proposal, a course of action? Lay it out for us, tell us why you think it will work better than something that has been tried in the past, or maybe it is something that has been overlooked, or a new idea that needs to be fleshed out through an exchange of ideas. Until then, quit clogging up this forum and potentially scaring away someone new to the sport that may be interested in helping, or an experienced user of our public lands that is looking for a way to get more involved.

The citizens of this state have been barred from offering up not one, but two applicants to this board representing orv users for over two years now; not to mention the long time period these same people were allowed to act atonommously when the search was delayed for several other sitting members for almost as long. No fresh public commentary has been allowed during that time period and to date; no new orv representive member has offered anything of substance to the meeting minutes.(an absence that actually began long before; as I can find no record of them attending before they were installed).
We cannot, for years, after repeated requests, get these people to simply publish their contact info as the snowmobilers proudly do.
We cannot force them to bring back the stenographer we had perviously to properly record who said what and when for the public record.
We cannot force them to hold meetings nor promise to publish the meeting minutes in any given time period.
We cannot force them to provide simple ground rules for public speaking at the meetings....presently forcing the public to wait 3 months before they reveal just "how it will be different" after literally years demanding that they do just that with nothing but arrogant and rude insistence that they couldn't.
There is absolutely no mechanism which forces the DNR to publish the information presented to them representing the orv community's current views on the critical matters which affect us...or do so in a timely manner. (see the MMRC document that nobody was going to by gosh publish until they were literally shamed into it).
The DNR 'gatekeeps' all requests for information regarding our representative board members; effectively allowing them to assess and quantify all interest the public may or may not have in the program itself...and pull the unannounced multi-year term extensions above off with measured risk.
This is one subject outlining exactly what you ask for.
You may not want me to continue with parts 2 through "10"...yet I think there's enough here to get you started or breed yet even more crass insults...you take your pick.
|March 21st, 2007, 08:37 PM
Update....well, it looks like I've been asked to leave the board permanently or be banned.
Good luck with getting your computer to work in publishing that MMRC document.
Thanks for letting me have my say.
|March 21st, 2007, 08:51 PM
I'm not old, honest...
For the very first time I can say that I read and understood what onemanbanned is saying.
You spelled out that there is no form of requirement for the DNR to post meeting minutes. I agree that we should have that.
John, please, please, stop making accusations to TF. He is making progress at the NFS level and has the guidance of two different lawyers, one being the UFWDA attorney. HE IS GOING ABOUT IT THE RIGHT AND LEGAL WAY.
I really don't care if you do or don't like Dick Rany. But it irritates the S$%t out of me that you make snide remarks about him and others. You are not part of the MMRC and it pisses you off. Guess what? Neither am I. I don't know who they are and don't care. Why? Because at the end of the day I don't believe they have any voice with any clout. By making long winded posts that are 90% pissed off, it drives away others that may get involved.
I too was shut down at an ORV advisory board meeting where they refused to answer my questions. But making enemies will not get me any further.
I have a good relationship with Pete Lumborg who is the head honcho at Silver Lake. Why? Because I politely approached him after a meeting and he has continued to have dialog with me. We haven't accomplished anything but he takes the time to reply to me.
Keep in mind that this is a full size 4x4 site. Yes, there are those that use other types of ORV's for recreation but you will not get much response when discussing the 50" issues.

"...You are not part of the MMRC...I don't know who they are and don't care. Why? Because at the end of the day I don't believe they have any voice with any clout....."
Announcement by the DNR's Chairman of (quote/unquote) "our" Michigan Orv Advisory Board (AMA Legislative Director District 14):
"..Let me assure anyone reading (that)...any decisions that are major, [COLOR="yellow"]WE MAKE THEM[/COLOR] together through MMRC.
I WILL NEVER REVEAL "who" all the allies are in MMRC, some things in politics, you just don't share"
Since I've been accused of not being 'nice' to many who never deserved it....please answer me why some of you don't have the guts to loudly correct WhiteRhino on his original naieve statement....when he is obviously mis-informed?
When MMRC council members Trail Fanatic and Ironman read blatant untruths like this...and then CHOOSE to keep their mouths shut instead of simply correcting him on this council's obviously powerful and autonomous role...you can see why many of us out here have no more respect for the two of them than the blatantly arrogant author of the quote above.
Again, there are a lot of good folks out here who don't play these childish little games...and who certainly aren't shy about calling out those who DO when it affects OUR trail resource.(and before I go...where is this MMRC document expressing MY views on Michigan orv issues that TF suddenly developed this case of 'cold feet' on...or was he possibly TOLD otherwise?).

Well, I have officially been driven away from this forum. I refuse to respond to any thread that onemanbanned posts on. Being told that I am "misinformed" is totally wrong. I have drawn my own conclusions from my own observations. And I guess I am "naieve" also. No one is influencing me or needs to defend me.
I am done.

This past Friday night, instead of closing its doors, the Hirshhorn museum held its three-times-a-year After Hours party, transforming into a sophisticated dance party, with gallery tours, food and drink, and live music from the nine-piece psychedelic orchestra the Crystal Ark. Throngs of partygoers filled the museum and outdoor plaza, dancing to the music and enjoying the night.
The party was themed around one of the Hirshhorn's newest installations, Andy Warhol's Shadows. Warhol created the 102-panel work in his later years, and the museum's unique sweeping architecture allows it to be viewed in its 450-foot entirety for the first time.
"What's so unique about the marriage of the space and the artwork is that we occupy this wonderful round building, so we are able to have a continuous wall, with no corners and nothing obstructing your view," said curator Melissa Ho, who gave a gallery tour during the event. "So for the first time, we're able to show all 102 panels of Shadows, and it's a continuous panorama. You really get a sense of the monumentality of the work."
Ho feels there couldn't be a more appropriate exhibition to theme an After Hours party on than Shadows. "One of the things that's really lovely about After Hours happening during this exhibition is that the first time shadows was shown, there was a huge party," she said. "Andy Warhol, in his usual flippant way, said 'this is disco decor.'"
At the start of the night, multimedia projections by Bec Stupak and Honeygun Labs played around the central fountain, set to music by Nancy Whang, a former keyboardist for LCD Soundsystem and vocalist for The Juan MacLean. At ten, the Crystal Ark came on and performed a set of their distinctive blend of Funk Carioca, atabaque drumming, Tropicália and South American-style rave, driving the crowd into a frenzy.
Partygoers loved the unusual blend of Smithsonian-quality modern art and live dance music. "You get the art culture and you get the nightlife culture together," said Jeanna Lo. "Just looking around, it's beautiful here: the lights, the music, it's not what you expect from a museum. Everything's kind of unexpected."
"This gives people access to have an enlivened, very social, very hip, very now, very cool scene," said Danny Chapman. "And then they can go inside and have access to some of the most beautiful things that man has ever created."
Looking around the party, once can't help but imagine Warhol appreciating the setting in which one of his most significant works would appear in its entirety for the first time. When he debuted Shadows to the public, in the midst of his own colossal party, he told his admirers, "The review will be bad—my reviews always are. But the reviews of the party will be terrific."

Jan. 23, 2013
Toyota Texas Bass Classic Announces 2013 Date; Future Changes
Contest to return to Lake Fork in 2014
ATHENS—Toyota Texas Bass Classic (TTBC) officials have announced that this year's World Championship of Bass Fishing is scheduled for Oct. 4-6, 2013 at Lake Conroe.
After five years at Conroe, the 2014 TTBC will return to Lake Fork, the inaugural host site, on May 9-11, 2014.
In another major change, anglers will qualify for both the 2013 and 2014 TTBC during the 2013 Angler of the Year races in the Bassmaster Elite Series, Walmart FLW Tour and Bass Pro Shops PAA Tournament Series. Four sponsor exemptions and the prior year champion will complete the field.
Failing to qualify for the 2013 TTBC would eliminate an angler from the tournament until 2015.
"With having double event qualification, it makes each and every point available on each respective Tour that much more valuable," Tournament Director Lenny Francoeur said. "Anglers who compete at TTBC are the best of the best, and to come here and win is truly something special. Earning the chance to compete in the event twice in one season is something we know will give the anglers extra motivation for this year."
TTBC officials are also pleased to announce the return of the TTBC BBQ Cook-Off. The BBQ Cook-Off, daily tournament weigh-ins, outdoor expo and concerts will take place at the Lone Star Convention and Expo Center, making the Toyota Texas Bass Classic a destination for families, fishing enthusiasts and country music fans to enjoy. The 2013 concert lineup will be released later in the year. Tickets to TTBC will be free and available at www.toyotatexasbassclassic.com later this year.
Anglers will compete on Lake Conroe over three days, October 4-6, 2013, with the field being reduced to the top 10 for the final round on Sunday, October 6. The tournament will remain a non-entry-fee event, and all 50 competing anglers will receive guaranteed prize money. Through a continued partnership with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), TTBC will continue to focus on conservation efforts and adhere to a strict catch, weigh and immediate release format. Over the last six years, the Toyota Texas Bass Classic has donated over $1.5 million to the TPWD, an effort that will continue again this year.
"The City of Conroe has been an incredible host over the past four years," Tournament Director Lenny Francoeur said. "We have an amazing partnership and we're excited to return to Conroe again in October. We are also excited to return to Lake Fork, an historic Texas bass fishery where the community was so welcoming the first time around.
The Lone Star Convention & Expo Center is a state-of-the-art facility conveniently located minutes from Lake Conroe and The Woodlands and only 40 minutes north of Houston. The location offers easy access to event activities, local shops and restaurants. For more information visit http://www.thelonestar.org.
The Toyota Texas Bass Classic tournament functions are operated by the Professional Anglers Association with technical assistance and support from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Inland Fisheries Division. Title sponsor for the event is Toyota. For additional information, visit http://toyotatexasbassclassic.com or call (866) 907-0143.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > University Endowments and Universal Owners: The Sustainability Challenge
This session puts the controversies of some university endowments into the larger context of existing and emerging U.S. and global corporate governance standards. These standards, while in flux and varying somewhat from country to country, include transparency, accountability and accounting not only for financial performance, but also for the not as yet fully financial factors. These factors are often referred to as ESG (environmental, social and governance), and increasingly a focus on financial and economic sustainability. The idea of the universal owner as a large institution with a diversified portfolio which owns a cross section of assets classes that are more or less representative of the economy, and thereby internalized some proportion of externalities generated by the assets it owns, making it a reasonably proxy for the 'public interest'. http://hausercenter.harvard.edu/?p=2222

• After starting the season with a 1-8 mark, Canisius has won two of its last three games to improve to 3-9 on the year. The Griffs are 2-3 in the MAAC, including a 2-0 mark on the road.
• Sophomore Tim Edwards leads the team with 38 points, 19 goals and 19 assists this season. Freshman Vince Gravino ranks second with 25 points (18g, 7a), while senior Joe Rautenstrauch is right behind with 23 points (16g, 7a).
• Sophomore netminder Alex Govenettio has started 10-of-12 games in goal for Canisius, posting an 11.63 goals against average and .444 save percentage.
• Senior Mike Moran leads the Griffs in faceoffs, winning 61.8 percent of restarts (136-of-220).
• Sophomore Tim Edwards has led the Griffs throughout the 2013 season and now leads the team in points (38), goals (19) and assists (19).
• Edwards is just one goal and one assist shy of reaching 20 in both categories.
• If he reaches the mark, Edwards would become just the fourth Griff since the team joined the MAAC in 1996 to record 20 goals and 20 assists in the same season. Mark Miyashita was the last Griff to accomplish the feat, posting 23 goals and 26 assists in 2003.
• Edwards currently ranks third in the MAAC with 3.17 points per game, 10th with 1.58 goals per game and second with 1.58 assists per game.

Al and his lovely wife Martha Helen dropped by the studio for a special appearance on our fundraising campaign to talk about his new book, "Kentucky Cured: Fifty Years in Kentucky Journalism."
Al, the host of Comment on Kentucky on KET for more than 30 years, has written two books in the last year and a half. "Wordsmith: My Life in Journalism" was Al's memoir and was published last year.
Part of our fund drive this year will be to give all of Al's fans and supporters an opportunity to attend a reception and book signing on January 8th, 2013.
Thursday night on KET, Al visited with my colleague Renee Shaw, who produced Al's show for more than 12 years. They discussed his new book, among other things. As always, Al was in rare form:

Near shore artificial reefs build fish habitat, coastal economy
Reefing operations began in Port Mansfield last week in a joint project between the Coastal Conservation Association, Habitat Today for Fish Tomorrow and Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Over 4,000 concrete culverts will be deployed about seven nautical miles offshore from Port Mansfield. These artificial forms will join 800 other culverts and an old tug boat on the Gulf floor. The concrete tubes are sunk to provide habitat for fish and marine life. The project is expected to increase marine wildlife numbers and create a recreational diving destination.
TPWD contracted Cajun Maritime LLC to reef the culverts. The Louisiana based company moved two-thirds of the culverts before the project was delayed due to Tropical Storm Don. The remaining 1,000 culverts are expected to be reefed in mid-August.
"This is the largest reefing effort TPWD has conducted at a nearshore reef," said Dale Shively, TPWD Artificial Reef Program Leader. "Our contractor, Cajun Maritime LLC, has done an outstanding job so far in moving the culverts to the reef site. This project represents another effort through the partnership of TPWD and CCA to enhance marine habitat in the Gulf of Mexico, making better fishing opportunities available to all. It also provides increased revenue to the local economy through fishing and diving opportunities."
In transporting the culverts to the reef site, a 200-foot barge loaded with tons of concrete made several trips through the Port Mansfield harbor and channel. Water depths in many places were less than five feet, causing the tugboat to push itself and the barge through mud.
Shively said the arrival of Cajun Maritime in the sleepy fishing town of Port Mansfield generated lots of public interest. The contractor came into town with a large ocean-going tug, 200-foot barge, 330-ton crane, 100-ton crane, four simis, two front-end-loaders, one bucket tractor and 18 personnel in addition to other supervisory personnel from around the state. Most of the rooms at the town's one hotel were booked for the project, with every open restaurant full at the end of the day, Shively said.
The Texas Artificial Reef Program's near shore and public reefing effort began in 2006 and aims to establish a 160-acre reef site at each major port in Texas. The program has 63 reef sites in the Gulf of Mexico including other near shore reef sites at Port Isabel, Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Matagorda and Freeport.
Other reefing projects in the Gulf include over 130 oil and gas platforms and the Texas Clipper Reef Project. In the Ships-to-Reefs segment of the program, 12 Liberty ships which ironically survived combat sinking attempts during World War II were sunk in the 1970s to create the nexus of the reefing project along the coast.

Arsène Wenger says Arsenal will not be satisfied with a third-place finish in the Premier League next season.
But the Frenchman would take that this year with the Manchester clubs practically out of reach and Tottenham, Newcastle and Chelsea all challenging for a top-three finish.
"We want more," he said ahead of Saturday's London derby with Chelsea. "But where we are at the moment we will be happy with third place because there are great teams who would be very happy if they got there.
"You always want more but you see that the competition in England is difficult. Chelsea are now in the Champions League [semi-final] against Barcelona but they are sixth at the moment. That means it is not easy."
Arsenal have hit top form in the league since the 7-1 humbling of Blackburn Rovers in February and Wenger believes his side have made healthy progress after their difficult start.
"Diaby has played two games, Wilshere zero and we bought players late in August to gel a team together," said the Frenchman.
"We feel that as a team we have improved during the season and it is important now to finish in a strong way. That gives us confidence to do well at the start of next season.
"We played the first seven games and lost four. It is difficult after that to win the championship."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Pelavin: "On this anniversary, we recommit ourselves to continuing to strive for a world in which people with mental illness are supported and treated with the care they deserve."
Contact: Eric Harris or Deborah Swerdlow
202.387.2800 | email@example.com
Washington, DC, October 4, 2010 -- As the 20th annual Mental Illness Awareness Week begins, Mark Pelavin, Associate Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
On the occasion of the 20th annual Mental Illness Awareness Week, we are reminded that mental illness knows no borders and does not discriminate in age or gender. In the U.S., one in four adults struggles with a mental health disorder each year, and the prevalence of mental illness is similar in Canada, where 20 percent of Canadians will experience a mental illness at some point in their lives. Though the past two decades have seen great strides in overcoming the stigma of mental illness, we know that more must be done to raise awareness about mental health, support those struggling with mental illness and their loved ones, and eradicate ongoing instances of discrimination.
Every day, our synagogues strive to meet the needs of congregants in need, as well as their families. Yet we also recognize the need for federal legislation that can impact lives in every community nationwide and help meet the needs of Americans struggling with mental health issues. The Paul Wellstone Mental Health Parity law enacted in 2008 and this year's landmark health insurance reform law will continue to positively affect the ability of Americans struggling with mental illness to obtain affordable care. But we know that more must be done.
Our tradition teaches that a healthy body and a healthy mind are equally important to living a full and satisfying life. In the Jewish prayer for healing, we ask for refuah sheleimah, a complete recovery of both body and soul. On this anniversary, we recommit ourselves to continuing to strive for a world in which people with mental illness are supported and treated with the care they deserve.

Hello to all the Fett's. I am brand new to these boards and have seen alot of people having problems with shaping there chest armor as Boba's has a curved appearance, and the flat look just doesnt look right.
I stumbled on something by accident when I went bowling with my Dad and had an idea of heating my sintra armor and pressing it over the round part of the ball.
I used to 12 pound bowling ball and heated the plastic just enough so i could roll it over and form it slowly as the ball is still to small to form it exactly around the shape of the ball, but it is a hard round surface to work with.
I wish I had the means to post the results, but I think it came out ok.

Arsène Wenger believes his side's defeat to Manchester City is all part of their learning curve.
First-half substitute Sergio Aguero hit a late winner from an incisive City breakaway to end Arsenal's Carling Cup hopes for another season.
Wenger included five players under the age of 21 for the visit of Roberto Mancini's star-studded team and says the experience will help their development.
"I told them it was naive to concede a goal from a corner of your own," he told Arsenal Player. "That's just a learning process and I feel sorry we lost a game like that which we shouldn't have.
"We dominated and in the second half I think we were on top. Even going to extra time I feel we would have won the game.
"We want to continue our unbeaten run in the Premier League now, that's where it is important," he added. "Overall it's a shame to lose a game like that at home, especially when you feel you do not deserve to lose it.
"But the spirit has been excellent again and that will take us far."

text: I know I've started a number of threads like this before. Sorry (really) if it's getting annoying. But I was hung-over all day. I busted out a lot of the old basketball SportsCentury's. Basketball history is probably my favorite past-time. I love (love!) talking about hypothetical all-time teams. And this board is always where I get the most intelligent conversation about it (and learn the most about it). Important note. I'm not talking about just picking the best five players of all-time here. I'm talking about putting together the best TEAM here. Incredible talent is obviously the most important prerequisite. But we're also talking about 'fit' on and off the court together.. the desire to win.. team-first attitude.. character.. chemistry.. etc. Here's mine, in the order I put it together: SG: Michael Jordan. I respect the hell out of a lot of aspects of MJ's life. But I still hate him. I hate how the league did everything it could to ensure his success on the court. I hate how the media did everything it could to portray him as perfect. I hate how phony he was in the public eye. I hate how (I presume..) he treated his teammates, coaches and opponents - and how selfish he was - early in his career. But, with all that being said. Was he the best player of all-time? Probably. Did he want to win as much as anyone - before, during and after his career - in the game? Probably. Did he mature into being enough of a team player? Yeah. Every team needs an alpha-dog. MJ's mine. (*Jerry West was my not-so-tough cut). PF: Bill Russell. The best post-defender and rebounder of all-time. More importantly, the best team leader of all-time. And as some have said, the best winner of all-time. As a guy who doesn't need the ball in his hands, he's perfect for a team like this. As an incredible athlete for a big man who can run up and down the court with the athletes I intend to surround him with, he's also perfect. As intelligent as anyone who's ever taken the court. And possibly the best fast-beak igniter of all-time as well. He's a no-brainer for me. I did put him at his unnatural PF position, however, because I do need a dominant low-post scorer. PG: Magic Johnson. Was he the most talented point guard of all-time? No. Oscar Robertson was. Was his desire to win the greatest? No. Isiah Thomas' was. But really, Magic is a no-brainer pick here. Clearly the best distributor of all-time, which is perfect for a team like this. A true pass-first star. Big O was really just a Michael Jordan at the point, which this team doesn't really need IMO. And Zeke too was most definitely a score-first point (it also doesn't help that MJ hated him). Magic to me just seemed like a guy who brought a priceless positive energy to the table. He didn't care about his stats. He just wanted to win. He made everyone happy. Everyone liked him. And everyone he played with just seemed to be rejuvenated and enthused by his positive energy. In short, I just think that he's a guy who makes things work. Puts it all together. Stirs the drink. And his unprecedented size gives him such an enormous advantage. SF: LeBron James. This was a tougher pick. Larry Bird was so prolific, and as intense a competitor as the world has ever seen. But he was definitely a score-first guy himself. And his athleticism would really hurt him in a lot of matchups. I would've liked Bird to spread the court out here, because Magic and Michael really aren't great outside shooters, but I couldn't do it. LeBron is the most talented player of all-time IMO. It's hard to blame him for "not giving max effort" when the effort he gives is more than enough to dominate and win championship after championship. And, best of all, in his natural element--he is most definitely a pass-first player. Which a team like this desperately needs. C: Hakeem Olajuwon. This was, by far, the toughest pick. Wilt's clearly the most talented center of all-time. But he really strikes me as a me-guy. A guy who didn't give great effort. And a guy who flat-out cowered on the biggest stage. Shaq too, to me, is definitely a me-guy who caused a lot of locker room problems with his immature BS, throughout his entire career. Kareem was the guy I really had a hard time leaving off. A consummate competitor and team-first player. Arguably the greatest scorer of all-time. A very fine defender. But man. Hakeem. His low-post offense was second to none. His low-post defense was second to none. He never caused a single locker room problem in his entire career. On a team like this, I think he'd be happy to be a secondary scorer. He won championships--on his own; something I've never seen a big man do. Really, really, really tough call. But I'm going with the Dream. C: H. Olajuwon PF: B. Russell SF: L. James SG: M. Jordan PG: M. Johnson


text: Considering Jeremy Abbott and Adam Rippon's worse-than-expected showing at Worlds, are Johnny Weir and Evan Lysacek automatically the top 2 in the US with their comebacks? They both have experience and world medals. Do you think they still can compete with the best in the world? Even if Johnny and Evan go back to worlds next year, I honestly both of them are done in terms of winning medals at the World or Olympic level.

Kids are attractive as is their furniture. Everybody try to dress their children at their best possible ways, whether it is a poor or rich. One of the important member who has given utmost care and love is kid.
While discussing kids designer furniture, it is important to note that it is all about the color. Kids world is full of colour. Wherever you go, you can see the children equipment will be with full of bright colors. That is why, while selecting the furniture for your child, it is not important how many drawers are there, what is size of the table, what type of cushion you use, what kind of wood you used, etc. It is important how you have made it and how attractive it is.
If there are more kids in the house, it is always better to get them closer to each other. It will give them opportunity to play and comfort. Multi-level bedding, round crib bedding, bassinet and cradle bedding, etc are some of the kid bed furniture. There are many famous brands in the market and depends on your spending capacity you can select the best one for your kid. Italian and Chinese furniture makers competing in this segment . Lot of bunk bed systems available world over without any extra charges for shipping. Other than the beds, there are small and very attractive tables in the market such as twin craft tables. Bunk beds have a starting sale price of 1000 dollars and above. Twin over twin bunk beds will cost little more than that.
It is advisable to have the furniture made with a fine finishing without protruding parts or peeled paint. Children are prone to many allergic reactions hence it is to be considered that the wood used for the products are good for their health. Painted furniture should be avoided and to give colors mica is the best option. Some kind of furniture are trapping furniture, since children have the tendency to play with whatever they get, they may try to hide inside the all possible places. It will be disastrous that furniture such as toy baskets, tables with larger drawer rooms, etc kept carelessly in kids room. Height of the furniture also should be considered while designing it. Children may fall down from their bed and reduced height of the bed can reduce the impact.
No doubt that the kid furniture should be attractive so that they like them. Color is one of the major criteria in the selection. Also, the craftsmanship should be considered to ensure it get maximum finishing touches to the interior. Cupboards with special art and designs can be another attraction in the kid bedroom.

Scarecrows celebrate history of New Boston
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent | October 20. 2013 9:09PM
Standing proudly before the historical marker that tells the history of the Molly Stark Cannon are scarecrows representing New Boston Historical Society founder Rena Davis, and one of the town's most important historical figures, J.R. Whipple.
"She lived in New Boston most of her life," said Rothman. "There's not a lot of famous women in town, but we knew we wanted her."
Next to Davis is a scarecrow representing J.R. Whipple, a man who was born and raised in New Boston and went away to the city of Boston to make his fortune in the hotel business, but never forgot his roots, Dan Rothman said.
The trains would come into town to pick up pork, chicken and beef destined for the city, and would drop off the slop from the leftovers to feed the pigs.
"These are two people who did so much for the heritage of the town," said Betsy Whitman, vice-chair of the historical society. "This was the first time we ever put an exhibit at Scarecrow Alley, but I don't expect it will be the last."
Lisa Rothman said that the society's scarecrows were the brainchild of Betty Poltrack, 92, a longtime member of the society who was persistent in her efforts to create a display on behalf of the organization.
"They really put a lot of thought into it," said Lisa Rothman. "And they're taking it very seriously. They expect to win."

Hi my name is David and this is my first post here. I am interested in taking TEFL training but there are many options online to choose from and I really can't discern the difference in quality. I was hoping someone could answer some questions I have.
Just a quick bio, I have no formal teaching experience. However, while I served as a combat medic in the U.S. Army, I did teach classes to other soldiers having to do with CPR, IV's, and combat related injuries. I also have three years public speaking experience from being in Toastmasters International. I also have performed as a close up magician for eight years, and I have my BA in Theatre. I mention all of that because these skills have made me very comfortable around all types of people and crowds which I think will be of great benefit to me in this area. Anyway, that's enough of my background. Here are my questions:
1. What accreditation should I be looking for in regards to training?
2. It's my understanding that most schools around the world require 6-20 hours of live practicum. How do online courses deal with this?
3. Where in the world will I be able to teach with certain certificates gained from a given program?
4. Is it true that one can get the best jobs if trained by TESL Canada, CELTA, Trinity CertTESOL or equivalent certification programs?
Thanks a lot!

Columbus Dispatch reported DeWine has new ad "assail[ing] Brown on taxes" -- didn't mention state of Ohio says ad is false
In reporting that the re-election campaign of Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) had agreed -- in return for "millions of dollars" from the Republican National Committee -- to air "much tougher" ads against DeWine's opponent, Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), including "a brand-new commercial" that "assail[s] Brown on taxes," The Columbus Dispatch made no mention of the fact that the ad's attack on Brown for not paying "an outstanding tax bill for 12 years" is "false," according to a state official.
An article [1] in the October 19 edition of The Columbus Dispatch reported that, in return for "millions of dollars" from the Republican National Committee (RNC), the re-election campaign of Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) had agreed to air "much tougher" ads against DeWine's opponent, Rep. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), including "a brand-new commercial" that "assail[s] Brown on taxes." But the Dispatch did not report that the ad's attack on Brown for not paying "an outstanding tax bill for 12 years" is "false," according to the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services -- the agency that succeeded the employment bureau that issued Brown a tax lien in 1993. In contrast, the Cleveland Plain Dealer [2] reported that Brown paid the outstanding tax bill within four months of receiving the lien. According to The Plain Dealer, state records show Brown paid the bill and the lien was released in 1994, but because of a paperwork error, county records showed the lien outstanding until 2005. The Toledo Blade reported [3] that before the candidates' October 18 debate, a DeWine campaign spokesman said that "the campaign will revise the ad"; however, the spokesman said the ad would still assert that Brown "failed to pay a delinquent tax bill." The Plain Dealer noted that the RNC had produced a similar ad attacking Brown for what the ad falsely claims is a 13-year overdue tax bill but said it "had no plans" to change it.* [4]
As The Plain Dealer reported, ads run in Ohio by DeWine's campaign and the RNC attacked Brown for failing to pay until 2005 a tax lien issued by the state in 1993. The Plain Dealer reported that Jon Allen, "spokesman of the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services" said the "claims [in the DeWine ad] are false." The lien was issued in Lorain County for unpaid unemployment taxes on Brown's 1992 congressional campaign organization. Despite the fact that the state received payment in 1994, the Brown campaign did not file notice of that payment in Lorain County until 2005. The Plain Dealer noted that "Republicans looking for avenues of attack seized on the dates of the lien and the 2005 release," and both DeWine's campaign and the RNC began airing ads attacking Brown for failing to pay an "outstanding tax bill for 12 years," according to DeWine's ad, and failing to "pay his unemployment taxes for 13 years," according to the RNC ad. After Brown's campaign complained about the ads, providing documents authenticated by the state of Ohio establishing that Brown paid the bill in 1994, DeWine's campaign said the ad would be changed as soon as possible but "still would reflect the fact that Brown 'failed to pay a delinquent tax bill.' " The RNC said it would not change its ad.
As the Dayton Daily News noted [5] on October 11, two earlier DeWine ads have been criticized, one for including a doctored image of the World Trade Center following the September 11 attacks, and one for showing the image of an active-duty U.S. service member in uniform, in apparent violation of Defense Department regulations. Following the criticism, DeWine's campaign removed the World Trade Center image from the first ad. The campaign defended the use of the image featuring the soldier in the other ad [6], however, and did not remove it.
From the October 19 edition of The Columbus Dispatch [1]:
National Republicans promised to pour millions of dollars into the faltering campaign of Sen. Mike DeWine only after he agreed to air much-tougher TV commercials against Democratic challenger Sherrod Brown. The new Republican strategy, which includes a less prominent role for longtime DeWine adviser Mike Dawson, was unveiled yesterday with a brand-new commercial in which three older women assail Brown on taxes and his voting record, with one woman concluding, "Sherrod Brown, I just don't trust you."
Republican sources in Washington say that even though DeWine is trailing in the polls, GOP leaders think he still can win his race by sharpening the differences between himself and Brown, a six-term congressman from Avon.
The GOP sources, who spoke with The Dispatch on condition of anonymity, said they repeatedly urged DeWine to adopt a tougher approach to throw Brown on the defensive. But they said Dawson, who has played a major supporting role in the Republican dominance of Ohio during the past decade, has opposed a more aggressive advertising campaign.
"A lot of us believe that Sherrod Brown has some fundamental flaws (in his voting record)," said one prominent Republican in Washington. "Instead of going after those flaws and standing up in a forceful way, this has been a campaign curled in a ball and sucking its thumb."
The same source said that Republican National Chairman Ken Mehlman, who met with DeWine last week in Columbus, and other senior party officials told the senator that he needed to "listen to your own people who are harder and stop listening to people who are softer. If you don't do that, the money is going to go away."
From the October 19 edition of the Cleveland Plain Dealer [7]:
The Republican Party last night refused to cancel commercials that claim Sherrod Brown was a longtime tax scofflaw - even though the state of Ohio says the ad's claim is untrue.
Brown, the Democrat running against incumbent Mike DeWine, paid the tax bill years ago, soon after receiving a tax lien, according to newly released records from the Brown campaign and authenticated by the state.
But the Republican National Committee, supporting DeWine's reelection bid, is running commercials saying that Brown "didn't pay his unemployment taxes for 13 years."
DeWine ran his own commercial all day Wednesday with a DeWine family friend saying that Brown didn't pay "an outstanding tax bill for 12 years."
Hours after Brown campaign lawyers complained, DeWine spokesman Brian Seitchik said last night that the campaign would change its ad "as soon as possible," but that it still would reflect the fact that Brown "failed to pay a delinquent tax bill."
The RNC, however, said last night that it had no plans to change its ad.
The tax bill in question, for $1,776, was for unemployment taxes on the Brown campaign organization for the 1992 tax year. After the taxes weren't paid on time, the state filed a lien in Lorain County, where the campaign was based, on Dec. 2, 1993. The Brown campaign then paid the bill within four months, according to the state.
The lien should have been released then, and the state in fact issued a lien release on April 20, 1994. But because of a mixup, no one actually filed the necessary papers with the Lorain County recorder until 2005.
Republicans looking for avenues of attack seized on the dates of the lien and the 2005 release. The RNC bought $700,000 worth of television time in Ohio, starting on Tuesday, for its ad. The DeWine campaign on Wednesday spent an undisclosed sum for its own ad on the theme.
Brown's campaign demanded throughout the afternoon and evening Wednesday that the RNC and DeWine cancel their commercials.
Jon Allen, spokesman for the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, the successor agency to the employment bureau, said the claims suggesting Brown didn't pay the tax bill for 12 or 13 years are false. His department researched the matter last year, when the Brown campaign asked about the lien.
The Brown campaign's own actions added to the confusion, although it was cleared up by Wednesday afternoon. When taxes are unpaid, the state issues a lien, and when it receives full payment, it sends a lien release. But it was up to the Brown campaign, not the state, to file the release with the county recorder. That didn't happen.
Brown aides surmise the mixup occurred because the Brown for Congress Committee changed its name to Friends of Sherrod Brown and got a new address after Brown's successful 1992 campaign. Correspondence may have been missent or lost. The campaign had the cash to pay the bill and had no reason to shirk it, Brown's former treasurer, now a judge, said.
The unreleased lien apparently was caught by a title searcher in 2005 when Brown was buying a new house, aides say. Friends of Sherrod Brown contacted the state and got the matter cleared up, Allen said.
From the October 19 edition of the Toledo Blade [3]: :
On the eve of a Toledo debate with his Democratic challenger, Republican U.S. Sen. Mike DeWine was forced yesterday to correct another attack ad for accuracy.
Mr. DeWine (R., Cedarville) and U.S. Rep. Sherrod Brown (D., Avon) will meet at 7 tonight at the Stranahan Theater, in an event sponsored by The Blade and WTVG-TV, Channel 13. WTVG will broadcast it live locally, and C-SPAN will carry it nationwide on tape delay.
State officials said yesterday that Mr. Brown's congressional campaign settled a delinquent unemployment tax bill in 1994, four months after it was filed. The revelation contradicted an ad Mr. DeWine launched hours earlier, in which an elderly woman tells Mr. Brown "I just don't trust you" because "you didn't pay your outstanding tax bill for 12 years."
The Republican National Committee aired a similar spot this week, which accused Mr. Brown of not paying unemployment taxes for 13 years.
Democrats accused Mr. DeWine and the RNC of lying and threatened lawsuits to boot the ad off television.
"The DeWine campaign and the Republican Party must immediately pull down yet another advertisement that deceived voters with an attack we proved to be false," Brown spokesman Joanna Kuebler said. "Senator DeWine should apologize for deceiving Ohioans in a last-ditch attempt to save his career."
Yesterday, the senator [DeWine] said he did not know whether he would recall the tax bill ad. "We'll have to find out what the facts are," he said. Later, a spokesman admitted the campaign will revise the ad to reflect "the facts."
An RNC spokesman, Aaron McLear, said the committee would continue to air its ad. He said in a statement that Mr. Brown's "fondness for tax increases and inability to pay his taxes on time provide further proof that he is wrong for Ohio." :

Posted by Brian Lambert on May 13, 2011
A week doesn't go by when I haven't talked to someone who is in sales or marketing about the work they're doing to help the sales team change how they communicate value. It seems that many marketing and sales leaders are working hard to "help salespeople sell higher" or "help salespeople differentiate the messages they deliver." A couple of patterns are emerging; like moving the sales conversations from being transaction-focused to a more consultative one, or moving a consultative conversation to a more outcome-focused conversation.
There is no doubt that changing the sales conversation means changing the behavior of the sales team -- many sales leaders believe that change can't happen fast enough. When it comes to making the shift, you have a short list of choices:
1) develop or expand the existing skill set of the current salespeople you have, or
2) work with the sales leadership team and HR team to hire the right salespeople who have the right skills and connections to have the right conversations you need to be successful
3) a combination of both 1 and 2
More and more technology vendors are deciding to invest in the salespeople they have. For most technology vendors, hiring for skill just isn't working. One sales leader said, "We are realizing that the talent shortage in the profession overall is working against us. Many salespeople just haven't been trained like they used to, and they have picked up some bad habits along the way."
We are at a sales "skills cross-road."

Revision as of 21:26, 27 November 2008
Reactive is a simple foundation for programming reactive systems functionally. Like Fran/FRP, Reactive has a notions of (reactive) behaviors and events. Some unusual features:
- Much of the original interface is replaced by instances of standard type classes. In most cases, the denotational semantics of these instances is simple and inevitable, following from the principle of type class morphisms.
- The original idea of reactive behaviors is composed out of two simple notions:
- Reactive values are temporally discrete and reactive. They have a purely data representation, and so cache for free.
- Time functions are temporally continuous and non-reactive.
- Reactive provides and builds on functional futures, which are time/value pairs with several handy type class instances. Futures allow one to conveniently compute with values before they can be known, with a simple, purely functional semantics (no IO). Futures are polymorphic over both values and time, requiring only that time is ordered.
- A particularly useful type of time, based on Warren Burton's improving values, reveals partial information in the form of lower bounds and minima, before the times can be known precisely. (Semantically non-flat.)
- Improving values are implemented on top of a semantically simple unambiguous choice operator, unamb. Although unamb is built on Concurrent Haskell threads, the scheduler nondeterminism does not leak through (assuming the argument-compatibility precondition holds).
- Reactive manages (I hope) to get the efficiency of data-driven computation with a (sort-of) demand-driven architecture. For that reason, Reactive is garbage-collector-friendly. (GC favors demand-driven computation.)
The inspiration for Reactive was Mike Sperber's Lula implementation of FRP. Mike used blocking threads, which I had never considered for FRP before a conversation with him at ICFP 2007. While playing with the idea, I realized that I could give a very elegant and efficient solution to caching.
Besides this wiki page, here are more ways to find out about and get involved with Reactive:

Can I just say how much I love summer? I mean, really. Isn't it just the best time of year?
But, then again, I do really enjoy winter too…with the change in the weather (well, the California "weather changes") and the holidays. I guess life is pretty much good all year-round. Hard to complain these days. **Somewhere, Dustin is scoffing at me right now for saying that.**
This watermelon sorbet is just lovely. Vibrant flavor. Beautiful color. Easy to make. Simple and delicious. Perfect for summer! Hopefully your freezer won't cut out on you and take all day to actually freeze it like mine did. See, there I go again with the complaining. Guess Dustin's right. Darn it!
Seriously, though, the sorbet was everything I could have hoped for when I added it to my Summer List of food to make and, well, eat. 'Cuz that's what I do.
I usually am not a sorbet kind of person. I tend to prefer ice cream. But this sorbet was so flavorful, so light and refreshing that it may persuade me otherwise.
I hope you try this watermelon sorbet recipe and that you enjoy it on a hot summer day. Oh — and watch this video of me showing you how easy it is to make!
For more tasty sorbet recipes, check out my Cantaloupe Sorbet and Lemon Blueberry Sorbet.
Watermelon Sorbet
- 1¼ cups sugar
- 1¼ cups water
- 6-7 cups fresh seedless watermelon chunks about half a watermelon
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice approximately 3 1/2 medium-sized limes
- In a mediumsauce pan, bring the sugar and water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved. Turn off the heat and allow to cool.
- Put the watermelon chunks and the lime juice into a blender. Process the mixture until the watermelon is completely pureed. Using a fine mesh strainer or sieve, pour and press the blended mixture through to remove the seeds and any extra pulp.
- Combine with the cooled simple syrup and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Pour the watermelon mixture into the freezer bowl of your ice cream maker. Mix until the sorbet has thickened, approximately 25-35 minutes. The sorbet will have soft serve texture. You can enjoy right away or put the sorbet into an airtight container and place in the freezer until firm, about 2 hours.
