All undergraduate students at Michigan State University are required to have a computer that can connect to the Internet using a high speed connection.
All students should check with their prospective major college and department to determine if their program has specific computer requirements for their academic programs. Some programs require all of their students to have a laptop computer. Others strongly recommend using particular computer operating systems.
If there are no specific computer requirements for the student's program of study, then the computer may be either a desktop or a laptop. The student's computer may be any brand running any operating system. Students will want to be sure the computer will run the applications software, e.g., office applications, they will use for their courses. The computer must be able to connect directly to Michigan State University's campus network and the Internet using a high-speed Ethernet connection. MSU does not recommend students rely on tablet devices, mobile phones, or netbook computers as their primary computer due to software limitations.
If a laptop computer is chosen, students should consider having a machine that is equipped to access both the wored and wireless MSU networks. The Michigan State University wireless network supports all current wireless communication protocols (i.e., 802.11a, g, and n. The 802.11n standard operates in both the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies.)
It is crucially important that all computers be equipped with virus protection and firewall software, and that the software be installed and running prior to connecting a computer to the Michigan State University network. All students that utilize mSU resources such as network, campus labs, etc., are expected to abide by the MSU Acceptable Use Policy, found at https://tech.msu.edu/about/guidelines-policies/aup/.
Some course sections may be taught with the expectation that students use laptop computers in class. For each section, this is noted in the Schedule of Courses. Therefore, a laptop may provide expanded instructional opportunities for students.
Costs related to this requirement will be included in the calculation of financial aid eligibility for need-based aid or federal or private loans.

Yes, you should be able to get into the Charlottesville Albemarle Convention & Visitors Bureau through the doors on the east end of downtown mall whenever it is open. I am delighted that the city took my concern (see previous blog entry) expressed to city council about these doors being blocked by the Charlottesville Pavilion fencing on Saturday afternoon July 5 when we had lots of visitors in town - even though the Visitors Bureau was still open for another hour and the Pavilion concert wasn't to begin until later that evening.
I presented my concerns on Monday, July 7 during 'Matters from the Public' and got an email from Aubrey Watts, Charlottesville's Director of Economic Development on Friday, June 11 stating that he met with Pavilion staff, Convention & Visitors Bureau leadership, and Transit Center staff to discuss the matter. The email stated that the door to the Convention & Visitors Bureau "must be accessible whenever they have the CVB office open." In addition, the policy is that "they must open the area anytime a person with the need to use the elevator request it."
I thank Aubrey Watts for addressing this concern so promptly and ensuring that all of the groups involved had a clear understanding of the access policy for the future. I wasn't aware of the elevator access policy, so I even learned something new from this conversation.
Many people still believe that "you can't fight City Hall," but I find that you can bring a concern to the city leadership and if you present a clear argument for action on their part you can get a prompt and positive response. With interaction like this, there is really no need to even consider needing to fight City Hall."

Aliens almost definitely exist.At least, that's what two astronomers told Congress this week, as they appealed for continued funding to research life beyond Earth.
According to ABC News, Dan Werthimer, director of the SETI [search for extraterrestrial intelligence] Research Center at the University of California, Berkeley, told the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology Wednesday that the possibility of extraterrestrial microbial life is "close to 100 percent."
"In the last 50 years, evidence has steadily mounted that the components and conditions we believe necessary for life are common and perhaps ubiquitous in our galaxy," said Werthimer in his written testimony, adding: "The possibility that life has arisen elsewhere, and perhaps evolved intelligence, is plausible and warrants scientific inquiry."
Werthimer's colleague Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, also told Congress that he believes our chances of finding extraterrestrial life are high.
The chances of finding it I think are good and if that happens it will happen in the next 20 years depending on the financing, Shostak told the committee. (Watch the full hearing here.)
Read more @: Aliens Are Almost Definitely Out There, SETI Astronomers Tell Congress
I think this is all really common sense. Our conception of the universe is only minute to what really exists out there. I think its only a matter of time until we find life out there. We have found a lot of evidence of life, but to my knowledge we havent found "actual life". I do believe that there are other intelligent beings out there. But hey, I think we still should continue funding to these programs.

October 4, 1989MINUTES VPI&SU COMMISSION ON GRADUATE STUDIES 4 OCTOBER 1989, 4:00 P.M. PRESIDENT'S BOARD ROOM Present: Drs. Bates, Boyle, Burger, Campbell, Eaton, J. Johnson R. Johnson, La Berge, Lutze, Moore, O'Brien, Snoke, Stephenson, Stout, Teekell, F. Ventre (for D. Conn), Mr. Daniel Adams Visitors: Dr. Jack Cranford, Mr. John Ashby 1. ANNOUNCEMENTS - Dean Teekell announced the new brochure produced by Dean Martha Johnson describing fellowship programs. These brochures were distributed across campus and should anyone need additional copies our office will provide them. A printout of Fall census data was distributed to members. The infor- mation detailed headcount and full-time enrollment facts. At the final meeting of the CGS last year, Andy Cohill, a member of the GSA, presented a resolution that was passed by the GSA regarding GTAs teaching additional courses including the Honors Colloquia. Dr. Snoke wrote a letter to Dr. Carlisle regarding this issue and Dr. Teekell provided the membership with Dr. Carlisle's response. Dr. Carlisle stated, "While I believe we should help graduate students become skill- ful undergraduate teachers, I believe that GTAs should not be assigned to Honors Colloquia. I agree with several points made by Ron Nurse. The Honors Program should provide more involvement with senior faculty than our normal undergraduate program typically does. Those doctoral students interested in college teaching should have opportunities for instruction or guidance. Although it would normally be the department or the college which identifies the appropriate classes for them to teach, I would, nevertheless, like to develop a University-level GTA preparation program. With the aid of the Graduate School, I believe we can devise a plan." At a later date, action should be taken to plan to implement a plan of action. On October 5, 1989, Dean Teekell will present the Commonwealth Fellow- ship Awards of $5,000.00 each to Brett Bennington of the Geology De- partment, Barbara Kuzmak of the Statistics Department and Deborah Weissenborn of the Biochemistry and Nutrition Department. Dr. Snoke raised the question of CGS involvement with the previous an- nouncement on GTA teaching. Dean Teekell said that this issue would be a future agenda item for discussion and referral to committee should that be appropriate. Dr. Francis Ventre was proxy for Dr. David Conn. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1989 - The minutes were approved with the addition of items of referral to individual committees under "Other Business". 3. GRADUATE STUDENT ASSEMBLY - Daniel Adams distributed copies of APEX for perusal. The Graduate Research Symposium will begin with a speaker on Thursday night October 12 and poster session on Friday, October 13, 1989. Members were invited to encourage participation from individuals in the poster session. 4. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE COURSE AND PROGRAM CRITERIA COMMITTEE - Dr. Janet Johnson submitted the report and it was approved. Dr. Johnson announced that policy memorandums from the President's office will be updated to reflect the semester conversion. The next meeting of the Course and Program Criteria Committee will be cancelled and an an- nouncement will be sent regarding the next meeting time and location. Dr. Ventre asked that the "Truth in Packaging" issue not be closed for discussion and that Dr. Conn would like to be present at a future meet- ing of this committee for discussion. 5. ROLE AND NATURE OF THE DOCTORAL DISSERTATION - after discussion, Dean Teekell asked that the membership discuss this issue within the indi- vidual colleges and this item will be a future agenda item. ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT - Dr. Jack Cranford led a discussion, carried over from last year, regarding the role of the University in academic mis- conduct cases. After discussion and suggestions by Commission members and it was decided to refer this issue to the Degree Requirements, Standards, Criteria and Academic Policies Committee for deliberation. Dr. Janet Johnson suggested the addition of a committee member from the GSA for this issue. Daniel Adams was added to this committee. 6. OTHER BUSINESS - none 7. ADJOURNMENT - 5:08 p.m. Respectfully submitted, John L. Eaton Secretary

There were two problems with that suggestion:
- I rarely enjoy a store-bought frozen pizza (especially not the cheap ones which are usually all we can afford anyway).
- Well... you know what happens when you send your husband on a quick grocery store run. One item turns into twenty. You get my drift.
So I bucked up and made whatever I had planned for that night. But it got me thinking, "Can I make a more delicious freezer-ready pizza than a high quality store-bought one?". I have learned that the answer is undoubtably yes! I am so excited to share this knowledge with you. It is going to save your wallet and your taste-buds from buying something less wonderful than you should.
A-hem. Well I suppose we should just get right down to business. That is why your visiting this blog, right? Here is what you will need:
- 2 (12-inch) disposable aluminum pizza pans
- 1 recipe fail-proof pizza dough
- non-stick cooking spray
- yellow cornmeal
- 1 pizza stone*
- your favorite pizza toppings
- plastic wrap
- aluminum foil
First, prepare your pizza dough. It takes 1-2 hours to rise so plan ahead. When dough is ready, pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees, placing the pizza stone in the oven before you even turn it on (the stone will heat up as the oven does). *Tip: If you do not have a pizza stone you can use an upside down cookie sheet instead.
Spray your pizza tins with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle with cornmeal.
Divide your dough in half. On a floured surface roll each dough half out into a 12-inch circle. Transfer dough to prepared baking pans.
Now here is the most important step. Place the dough in the pan on your pizza stone and bake for 3-5 minutes, or until the dough just barely pulls away from the edge of the pan. Poke any bubbles with a knife.
Want to know why this step is so dang important? It is going to ensure that the dough can no longer continue to rise while it freezes in your non-commercial freezer that technically cannot really "flash" freeze. Understand? Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
While the crust is cooling, prepare your toppings. Here are some topping tips and guidelines:
- Some vegetables need to be blanched before they are frozen. To do this bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Clean and cut veggies. Drop into boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Remove immediately with a slotted spoon and put in a bowl filled ice water (this will stop the cooking process). After veggies have cooled remove from water and pat with paper towel to dry. Blanching vegetables ensures that they will keep their color in the freezer and will not be damaged by freezer burn. You do not need to blanch bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, or zucchini. Tip: For a quicker cook time, use store-bought frozen vegetables.
- Meats must be fully cooked.
- Not all cheeses are freezer friendly. For example delicate, crumbly cheese like bleu cheese or feta do not freeze well and can actually lose flavor while in the freezer. Stick to cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, monterey jack, and colby jack.
- You want all of your toppings to have cooled so that when you wrap the pizza for the freezer there is no steam trapped in the packaging. Steam will make freezer burn more likely.
For the first layer of toppings on our taco pizza, I spread some cold canned refried beans.
Next comes a mixture of cooked ground turkey and enchilada sauce (also cooled). Last time I made this taco pizza I also put taco seasoning in the ground turkey mixture, and it made the pizza taste way better. I forgot to add it this time. So do add taco seasoning if you are making this version of taco pizza.
Lastly we topped the pizza with fat-free cheddar cheese, olives, and green onions.
Now all that is left to do is prep the pizza to go in the freezer. To prevent freezer burn you will need to double seal it, first with plastic wrap...
and then with aluminum foil.
This delicious little sucker can stay in the freezer for up to 6 months.
When you are ready to finish cooking your pizza: Place pizza stone (or upside down cookie sheet) back in oven and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Unwrap frozen pizza, but leave in disposable aluminum pan. When oven is heated, cook pizza in pan on stone for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is a dark golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and hot. Remove from oven. Brush crust with melted butter.
The crust tastes better that DiGiorno, I can promise that much. Plus these are far more cost effective than buying frozen pizza. They are perfect for those nights when you are tempted to order pizza and they are sooooo convenient. Have I changed your life forever? Have I, have I? I hope so.
Another plus + Make a cute printable tag and tie this with some ribbon and you have an awesome meal for a new mom or a sick friend. If no one has brought them dinner already when you bring it to them it only takes a quarter of an hour to reheat from frozen. If they already have dinner that night just slip it in they're freezer. They'll be grateful.
Fail-Proof Pizza DoughIngredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 Tablespoons oil
- 3 cups bread flour (give or take half a cup depending on heat and humidity)
- In a large mixing bowl, preferably that of a stand mixer, stir yeast and sugar into warm water. Sit for 5-10 minutes. Pour in salt, oil and half the flour and mix.
- Once that flour is incorporated, start adding in remaining flour bit by bit until you get the pizza dough to the consistency you want: slightly tacky, but when you touch it it doesn't stick to your hands.
- Once you reach this stage, turn the mixer on high to knead for 6 minutes. Turn a timer on and walk away. Resist the temptation to stop earlier than 6 minutes!
- Remove finished dough from mixer and shape into a ball. Lightly grease a bowl & the dough (so it doesn't dry out). Put dough in prepared bowl and cover with plastic wrap and let it rise 1-2 hours.
Taco PizzaIngredients
- 1 recipe fail-proof pizza dough
- 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- shredded cheddar cheese
- sliced green onions
- sliced black olives
- Prepare pizza dough according to recipe directions. Split dough in half and roll into two twelve-inch pizzas.
- Brown ground turkey with taco seasoning until fully cooked. Add enchilada sauce.
- Spread half of the can of refried beans on each pizza. Top with half of the meat mixture.
- Sprinkle with cheese, onions, and olives.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes if fresh and 15-18 minutes if frozen.

|Agricultural Trade and Development Act
(10 July 1954) To reduce the cost of US storage programs for surplus farm crops, this law gave the president authority for three years to exchange $1 billion in surplus food stocks for foreign currency, and use the money to promote US trade, buy strategic materials, or assist friendly nations. The law also allowed up to $300 million in surplus food to be donated as emergency famine relief overseas. It was renewed several times until replaced by the Food for Peace Act.

"Democracy," according to Winston Churchill, "is the worst form of government, except for all the others." Lately, democracy seems to be taking a few hits.
An article in the Times last week talked about the fact that democratic governments around the world are under siege from their own constituents. Citizens of Greece, India, Israel, the United Kingdom--not to mention those here in the US--are extremely frustrated. Democracies all--solid, indisputable democracies--these nations empower their people to select their own representatives and ostensibly to rule themselves. They also provide an unfolding answer to a troubling question: If democratic rule fails to improve the condition of a large number--or a majority--of the citizenry, what then?
We romanticize elections. American newscasters especially extol the virtues of the democratic republic, especially when an election results in the defeat of the governing party. The "peaceful transfer of power" from one regime to the next is the hallmark of the mature democracy, and I don't minimize its significance. As complacent as Americans have become about such a spectacle, we should recognize how rare--historically and even in the modern world--such a shift in power is. But while we've mastered voting, even in the United States we still struggle with the concept of governance afterwards.
Part of the problem arises from a fundamental misunderstanding--a belief that, because we vote, we live in a democracy and that, therefore, the wishes of the people are the primary mover of society.
We've gotten to the point, however, where our governmental representatives seem more concerned with serving corporate masters who finance their election campaigns than they do with meeting the needs of the average citizens they supposedly serve--at least insofar as these two interests are in opposition. This makes people question their representatives and, more frighteningly, of democracy itself.
People shouldn't lose faith in democracy, though, at least not until they try it. Because despite the liberal Western faith in democracy, we really have seen very little of the phenomenon. The US, of course, is not a democracy, but a republic: we elect other people to represent us. Ideally, these representatives respond to the will of their constituents, but as mentioned above, they don't. And if they don't. . . well there's always the next election--but that just perpetuates the cycle of electing the people who can serve the moneyed interests who finance them.
Now, of course, with the advent of social media, people theoretically have more power than ever before to make their wishes known. Democracy--direct democracy--is plausible on a scale larger than any seen before. Of course, this poses dangers, too: The will of the majority may be in direct conflict with the rights of the minority. But with the structural framework laid down and, generally, accepted in this country at least--with things like judicial review a solid part of our civic enterprise--minority rights can still be protected while affording the people an unprecedented opportunity to make their wishes known.
I am neither a politician nor a political scientist, and I know that the structure I propose has and number of pitfalls and dangers. But the current system isn't working so great either. And with people repudiating the results of elections and rioting in the streets, the time has come to start tweaking the system in a thoughtful way before the tweaking is taken out of our hands in a way that makes the dark side of democracy all too clear.

Veery (Catharus
fuscescens) Note: Record Rejected by California
Bird Records Committee
Fish Docks, Point Reyes National Seashore, Marin County, California
1 October 2004
Joseph Morlan

This morning Robbie Fischer and I drove out to Point Reyes hoping to find vagrant rarities. The combination of high overcast skies and light southerly winds at this time of year has proven to be highly favorable for finding rare birds at Point Reyes and today did not disappoint. By late morning we had been fortunate to see two Black-and-white Warblers, 2 Indigo Buntings, a Black-throated Blue Warbler and a Tennessee Warbler. When we arrived at the Fish Docks I decided to take the main trail to the right along the upper row of trees. As I approached the trees a large number of sparrows (Zonotrichia) flushed as well as a few Fox Sparrows. However I noticed one bird fly from the trail down towards the trees that had an unusual rusty coloration on its back and a thrush-like flight. It occurred to me that the bird might be a Veery but it quickly disappeared and I more-or-less forgot about it. Later as we were leaving, we met Ellen Blustein and David Herlocker by the water tanks. They were studying a Myiarchus flycatcher. I was quite interested in getting a look at this bird, because this is the peak time-period for Great Crested Flycatchers in California. We quickly got good views of the flycatcher working in a downed cypress tree near where I had seen the mysterious reddish thrush. The flycatcher turned out to be an Ash-throated Flycatcher. But when Ellen mentioned that they had also seen a very reddish colored thrush in the area I became quite interested. I suggested that it might have been a Veery, a possibility they had considered, but they were not familiar with the species and were unsure and hesitant about it. Then Jim Holmes arrived to look at the Ash-throated Flycatcher. He was at the bottom of the hill and suddenly started shouting "Oh my God! There's a VEERY!" He tried to point out where the bird was; I ran down the hill but the bird disappeared by some rocks under a small cypress near where I had seen my mystery reddish-colored thrush earlier. We decided to try patience and we were rewarded as the Veery appeared several times, hopping on large limbs of the big downed cypress, overgrown with a large nightshade shrub with purple flowers and large green fruits. It also was seen on the ground under the tree, but the best views were when the Veery was on top of the main limbs in full light.
Jim snapped a few distant photos with his 10X optical zoom digital camera . I borrowed David's cell phone and called the Northern California BirdBox to get the word out, as it was not yet Noon, and the bird was being reasonably cooperative. Jim decided to walk over to the upper trail to try to get better photos, but a Cooper's Hawk flew into nearby trees and the birds stopped moving for quite a while. Ted and Scott Cooper arrived and waited with us for the bird to appear again, which it did eventually. This time it came out onto an open limb and stayed still for several minutes while closing its right eye. We were wondering if it was going to sleep. At this point Jim got additional photos of the bird, two of which you can see here, while we all watched it and confirmed all field marks.
We spent about an hour studying the bird, but total viewing time was probably about five minutes of good clear views through 8x40 binoculars. The following description is based on notes made while watching the bird and reference to the photos.
A rather small compact thrush about the size of a Hermit Thrush which was also seen in the area, but the two were never together for direct size comparison. The upperparts struck me as a rather dark brown with a strong reddish cast becoming tawny-orange on the face and throat. The colors varied depending on the light and the bird seemed brighter when in the open than in deep shade. The dark eye showed no obvious eyering under most lighting conditions, but under good light, a narrow grayish-buff eyering was visible. There was no evident pale area in the lores. Instead the rich tawny coloration suffused the entire head (the photos do not do justice to this coloration). The throat was a paler color, but was still suffused with a rich tawny that overwhelmed the smallish light brown spots on the upper chest. This strongly colored chest formed a very distinct bib contrasting with the grayish wash on the rest of the breast and underparts. The breast was marked with diffuse grayish spots. The flanks were grayish with a slight brownish cast, but contrasted strongly with the reddish-brown coloration of the folded wings. The undertail coverts were pale grayish and there was a distinct dark-reddish wedge-shaped mark on the sides of the vent separated from the grayish flanks and sides by pale grayish-white.
The bill was dark and the legs were pink. In the field I was unable to detect a pale base to the mandible.
The wings and tail appeared quite short giving the bird a very compact appearance, and it seemed to assume a more horizontal stance when at rest than the more upright posture of the Hermit Thrush. I looked for dark malar markings and could not see any such marks.
The most obvious difference between this bird and the Hermit and Swainson's thrushes in the area is that the spots on the upper chest were very indistinct compared to the spotting on those species. In fact the chest appeared hardly spotted at all. The strong contrast between the tawny-buff bib and the grayish lower chest was also quite different from the more blended coloration of the ground-color on the other two common species. When the bird was in view, there was never any question about what it was or whether we were on the right bird. It was very obvious.
This is a species which should be identified with extreme caution. In the past I have been skeptical of claims of this species in which the observers were not aware of how bright rufous the upperparts of the West Coast subspecies of Swainson's Thrush (C. ustulatus ustulatus) can be. However this individual showed all the characters of Veery and we were fortunate to be able to study the bird over a prolonged period of time and had the luxury of checking and rechecking the critical field marks.
This is the second Veery I have seen in California. My first was at the Point Reyes Lighthouse on June 20, 1982. I believe that all California records, including this one, are consistent with the western subspecies (C. f. salicicola).
A number of interested birders arrived later in the afternoon and some reported seeing the Veery in a different spot towards the far corner. I checked there and found a Swainson's Thrush and at least one person decided that was the bird he had seen earlier which he had taken to be the Veery. However other observers were sure they had seen the Veery there and reported that they had heard the calls of both Swainson's Thrush and Veery from this clump. During our observations, the Veery was silent.
The photos on this page have subsequently been identified as being of a Hermit Thrush, by one of California's premier birders. In the interest in resolving this issue, I have posted the entire series of photos by Jim Holmes at a temporary site. These are photos of the bird I saw. All photos have been cropped, but not been digitally enhanced in any other way. As always, all opinions are welcome.
Further comments
I continue to be completely convinced that the bird we saw was a Veery and I stand by my description. The concern apparently stems from an artifact of some of the photos which show the eyering more prominant than it was in life. The contention that we studied a Hermit Thrush for the better part of an hour is bizarre. I am unaware of any plumage of Hermit Thrush which remotely approaches the chest pattern of the bird we saw. It was essentially unspotted as shown in the photos. Also the claim that "unusual molt" could have resulted in the Veery chest pattern on a Hermit Thrush is quite far-fetched in my view.
Final notes (25 August 2006)
Despite rejection by the California Bird Records Committee, I continue to believe this bird was a Veery. Most committee members felt that this bird was actually a Swainson's Thrush, an opinion with which I disagree.

I would be honored to help out Rich. Fabricating is my passion. The rest is work.
I think Sunday I will assemble the bike so you will get to see it finished. Maybe some cool sticker for the front cowl to top it off but it will be assembled.
I hope it looks like I envisioned it... They never do tho!
On a side note.. When it was all black I bought all sorts of orange anodized parts. ie: mirrors, grips,bolts,kickstart... Now I have to paint it all.

One would think that the more pleasant weather might help spur dog adoption inquiries, but, so far, that is not happening. -- Or, at least not quality calls for adoption.
I did get a couple of inquiries yesterday.
But, while seemingly on a mission to adopt a dog, one woman mostly called to rail against another rescue organization.
"I just had a very bad experience with another rescue!" the young woman complained.
"Oh? What was the problem?" I asked.
"Well, I went to see a small poodle they had in a foster home. I told the foster person that I was interested in seeing the dog again and in potentially adopting, but that I could not adopt until after the 15th of the month. But, I just found out yesterday that they adopted to the dog to someone else! The foster person never told me they were showing the dog to other people! Shouldn't he have told me that?"
"Well, not necessarily. I am sure he assumed that you already knew that. If the dog is advertised for adoption, then obviously that notice goes out to everyone."
"But, I could have provided such a wonderful home for the dog! Why would they give the dog to someone else?"
"Well, assuming the other person had the same qualifications as you, the goal of any rescue group or shelter is to move animals as quickly as possible in order to save other animals. Most shelters and rescues are not going to 'hold' animals until someone is ready to adopt. We have animals dying every day of the week in shelters and on streets. We are under a lot of pressure to rescue. In order to do that, we need to place adoptable animals we already have in order to create the room to take in others."
"But, the foster person didn't tell me any of that! I think there was an obligation to tell me the dog could be adopted by someone else."
"Look, Ma'am, if you walked into Bide-a-Wee or any other shelter to look at animals for adoption, THEY presume you are ready to adopt AT THE TIME. No shelter or rescue is going to say, 'Yes, we will hold the animal until you are ready to take home!' They have no guarantee you will ever come back to adopt. Meanwhile, small, friendly dogs are very much in demand. Of course they will adopt out immediately if they have opportunity to do so. This isn't a tea party, you know. It's serious business!"
"Well, I think they were wrong not to tell me these things," the woman further lamented.
"No, Ma'am, you were in error to be looking at dogs now when you are not in position to adopt until later. From that standpoint, you are wasting your time as well as the shelter's or rescue's. No shelter or rescue is in position to guarantee what animals they will have two or ten weeks from now! The best time to look at animals for adoption is when you are actually READY to bring one home!"
I don't think the woman was truly convinced of the error of her ways as opposed to the rescue group she was dealing with. While I agree that every shelter and rescue should ideally inform those hesitant to adopt immediately (for whatever reason) of the animal's potential to be adopted by someone else and that animals are not usually "held" for someone, this reality should be already be known and presumed by potential adopters.
As said, animal rescue and adoptions is not a tea party.
But, if I thought that particular call was a bit silly and time wasting, I was not at all prepared for the one that came a short time later:
"I am looking for a female Chow to adopt," the woman told me.
Now, normally I am very eager to hear from potential Chow adopters, as this is the breed we most frequently deal with in our rescue. But, something about the caller struck me as just a bit "off." For some reason, I was not to eager to tell her of the Chows and Chow mixes we have. Instead, I asked her some questions.
"Why specifically do you want a female Chow as opposed to a male?" I asked. "Male dogs can be very devoted and loving, certainly every bit as much as a female."
"Because I don't like the way the genitals hang down in the males!" the woman replied.
For a moment, I was stunned. But, I proceeded in the conversation anyway.
"But, surely you know, Ma'am that we neuter any dogs before adoption!" (And then, trying to make light of the issue) "You know most guys don't like to neuter male dogs because the dogs don't have balls anymore," I joked. "But, of course the dogs still have a penis."
"Well, that's what I meant!" the woman moaned. "They still have a penis!"
What could one say at this point? I was either dealing with a total moron or a woman who hated the entire male population whether on two legs or four.
"You know, Ma'am I don't think we have anything further to discuss."
The woman then hung up on me.
Maybe I am wrong to "judge" people like this.
Perhaps the second woman might actually provide a decent home for a female Chow one day.
Then again, one would have to wonder what this person would do should the female dog's tummy ever "hang" or sag one day.
Sometimes I think, its a really sad pool of "potential adopters" we have to try and work with. -- PCA

Wow, what a day!
Check in valet at the Emory Winship Cancer Center, down the elevator to the tunnel to Radiology.
At 7:45 a.m. we get to Radiology to sign in for my CT scans. The first thing they ask is whether I've had any food. Well, yes my doctor told me I could and I knew it was going to be a long day so I ate about half of a Chic-fil-A biscuit (which I normally never do). They tell us that they will need to delay testing. Steve expresses concern that we've had this appt. for over 2 months and that we were told everything would be accessed through my port. There wasn't anything special that I would need to do . I remember being so excited about that....well.....
The Radiology Tech asks about my other tests and takes my information to go and make calls to see if we can get the other tests scheduled earlier. He is able to re-arrange my schedule so I can get all my tests in and allow enough time before having my CT scans. They then set up an IV port.
Back on the elevator to the Emory Breast Center.
I sign in and go through all the necessary paperwork and have another breast exam. They make you wait until they check the x-rays to make sure they are okay. After waiting quite a while, they come back out and realize that they should have taken more x-rays. I then wait again. They finally tell me it is okay to go but I'm not really sure it means everything is okay. Just that they will call if they need me. I'm told I will need tests every 6 months vs. yearly.
Back on the Elevator to the Ambulatory Floor.
We then head down to the lab for blood work. I've never seen so many people in my life. The waiting area set up for lab and chemo infusion is overflowing with people. People are standing against the walls because there is no seating. It looks like a bunch of people gathering for some type of large event. I go to the counter and ask them if this is where I need to be for my lab work. They tell me, "yes" and I look over to the line of people that are signing in and realize, we are going to be here for quite a long time.
Once I finally make it back to the lab, I asked the nurse if they are running specials today because of the number of people. They laughed and said, "2 for 1" today. They went onto say, that it has been like this because more and more people are being diagnosed with cancer. Very sad, I think to myself. Unbelievable, as I note that I'm probably the youngest one in the room again. No age and no background is exempt from this terrible disease.
By the way, as I have journeyed through these other appts., I have been given the "yukky" stuff to drink as I go so I'm ready for my CT scans. Mind you, my doctor told me that I would not have to do this....it would all be put in through my port. As the person in Radiology explains it, they cannot do anything through my port unless it is a power port, otherwise the force of the dye going through will blow out my port. I do not drink all the "stuff" as I'm feeling nauseous and I'm afraid that I will get sick before I make it back down to Radiology.
Back on the elevator to the tunnel to the Radiology Dept.
We finally arrive back in Radiology, sign in and take me right back. The guy who helps hook me up to the IV, looks just like one of the Winans. He sees how messed up my skin is from the tape from the lab and an earlier IV injection so he takes his time and uses an alcohol adhesive. He works to get the IV in and then after all the tests, to take the IV out. I realize that I'm not as anxious or as claustrophic as I was the last time I go through the scanner. I've been through too many tests and therefore, I feel calmer. I even notice that the radioactive dye just sets my body on fire as it courses through my body....when before, the side effects were worse.
Back on the elevator, back to the main floor, out to valet (parking is terrible at Emory, especially when school is in session) and finally leaving Emory....
I was so happy to get out of there today. I felt incredibly tired and all I could think about was going to sleep. I fell asleep on the way home and Steve tells me that I was snoring. I am not a snorer so I'm not sure if I believe him or not but I was really out of it. It is a real emotional drain. I'm not even sure if I had all the tests that I'm supposed to, as it wasn't very well coordinated but I'm sure they'll tell me if not.......
Tonight seems like another lazy couch night to re-energize...praying tomorrow that I will have energy again. I know this is alot of rambling but sometimes I hear others say, "oh, you only have to go through testing, that won't be a big deal"....well, it shouldn't be a big deal but.... it always seems to wipe me out.
Hope everyone had a beautiful day. Although it seemed like we were on the elevator going up and down, floor to floor....all I kept thinking is....this is just a small step to get great reports!!
Love to all,
Good night,

Hi Leah. What a day you had! I'm exhausted just reading about it. I hope you had a good night's sleep and you feel better today just knowing you have those tests behind you for now.
It's pretty bad when you say "I even notice that the radioactive dye just sets my body on fire as it courses through my body....when before, the side effects were worse". Good grief! How could it get any worse than fire coursing through your body! But, I know it can and that's why I'm so sorry for what you are going through. You are one tough cookie. All of us will continue to pray for you to heal and to maintain the strength you need to get through this.

Oh Leah, what a wild and crazy day you've had. Makes me feel terrible for complaining about how the traffic had me all stressed out! Your journey has a way of slapping me back into what is important and what is not.
I sure hope all the test results are good and we can celebrate with another party!
Get your rest now and blog when you can, always good to read your writings! Love ya kiddo! Vernie

Hey Leah, I am so sorry you had such and exhausting day. I am thankful this is nearing to an end for you and praying that God gives you strength during this testing process. It will all be behind you soon! You will never know how much you have touched all our lives through this journey. Your an awesome friend and I love you!

Makes you think…
Into The Fold, Brooklyn Borough Hall from Derick Melander on Vimeo.
On September 24th, 2009, Derek Melander created a monumental sculpture from 3,615 pounds of second hand clothing. The resulting piece was a 5 x 7 foot cube made in 4 sections.
Why 3,615 pounds? That's the amount of textile waste created by New Yorkers every 5 minutes.
This event, hosted by the Office of Recycling Outreach and Education, was part of the 5th Annual Green Brooklyn...Green City Fair and Symposium at Brooklyn Borough Hall and Columbus Park. Clothing for the event was loaned by the textile recycling company, Wearable Collections.

One of the sloppiest bird-treat projects, the pine cone bird feeder, is also one of the most successful.
It combines two foods that wild birds love, peanut butter and pinecones.
Wild birds are attracted to the tiny seeds that are hidden deep inside pinecones. You have probably seen the large, pale yellow seed of the pinyon pine, commonly known as a pine nut.
Birds love these but they are a little expensive for feeding birds.
The tiny, lightweight seeds of many other pinecones are also popular with foraging birds. The tiny cones produced by hemlocks will attract small birds like chickadees and titmice, while larger pinecones will attract grosbeaks, crossbills and jays.
Peanut butter could be considered the perfect bird food. It is high in fat and full of protein. These are food qualities that are important to wild birds any time of the year. This is especially true in the winter when birds really need a boost.
One drawback to feeding birds peanut butter on a regular basis is the cost. I usually buy the generic brands in those giant jars and I prefer chunky to smooth. I think the little pieces of peanuts give the birds a little extra to chew on, keeping them close to my bird feeders longer.
To stretch your peanut butter, mix it with corn meal. This is a low-cost product that is readily eaten by the same birds that enjoy peanut butter. Add cornmeal to your peanut butter over a period of days until you find a ratio that is accepted by the birds.
The pine cone bird feeder was the first of many bird feeder crafts that I have made with my kids. It is also one of their favorites. I like it for several reasons. It is cheap, easy to make, attracts many birds and the most important reason - it keeps my kids interested in backyard bird watching.
If you are looking for more ideas for bird watching with kids, click here.
To make a pine cone bird feeder, you will need pinecones, peanut butter, birdseed and string or wire. Tie the wire at the top before adding the peanut butter, it is less messy this way. Use a knife or spoon to push the peanut butter into all of the openings. Then roll the pinecone in your birdseed. Try to press the seed in to help it stick.
Now select a location, hang it and watch the birds flock to your new pine cone bird feeder.
I hope you enjoy making this pine cone bird feeder. For more bird feeder crafts, click here.

These birds were about the size of a Robin, either perching songbirds or something like a wood pecker, with longer pointed beaks. They had reddish heads

IN THE schools, your kids are playing stock market games.
I don't mean video games. These are simulations - virtual investing - conducted in class to teach students basic investment and economic concepts. Or they might be the centerpiece of an after-school investment club.
Naturally, the games are pretty upbeat about stocks. Lately, the kids might not be quite as enthusiastic as they were last year!

27 inch Atlantic Nabbed in Oneida Lake…and other Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club News
Reminder: August Meeting is this Thursday, August 22nd, 7 PM at the Camden Rod & Gun Clubhouse.
This has been a very successful year for our club:
The Vermont Hatchery gave us 15,000 Atlantic fry, which we stocked into the East Branch of Fish Creek in April;
We raised and stocked about 30,000 more Atlantic fry into the East Branch of Fish Creek in June;
We participated in Spey Nation and received a substantial amount of money for continuing efforts to improve our capabilities;
We have requested assistance from Syracuse University ESF to initiate a study of survival success of our stocked fish;
We are continuing contact with Oneida Lake Association and Cornel Research facilities on Oneida Lake; and,
We continue efforts to get our message out by setting up our display at several sport shows.
When we received the Atlantic fry from Vermont in April, we discovered that the eggs could be hatched early by warming the incubator water temperature during the winter when water temperature is normally about 32 degrees. This would be a desirable improvement for our hatchery if it can be accomplished, so it is on our to do list for this fall.
Paul Miller, would like to hear from anyone who has paid this year's membership, but has not received their membership card, in case he has missed anyone.
Upcoming events;
Beaver Lake Open House, First Saturday in September;
Fall Migration (Great Swamp), October.
The link below is to an article from the Outdoors Section of Syracuse.com written by Dave Figura. Dave was at the Oneida Lake Association BBQ Monday night. Jerry Lougnot caught the 27" Atlantic Salmon and was giving the Fish Creek Atlantic Salmon Club kudos for their salmon restoration work. Dave followed up with the story and asked for more input.
The picture shows what a healthy fish this is.
Spey Nation Goes Bi-Coastal
Spey Nation Members Joe and Gary visited Blackwell's Lodge on the Dean River in British Columbia for Steelhead recently. In fact they left the Thursday after the event. Their mission was to deliver a hat to April.
Mission Accomplished. River Keepers April, Brendan and Ben posing along the Dean River with April Sporting her Spey Nation Beanie.

It was first thing in the morning and I met Steven out in the kitchen. "You know what today is, don't you?" I asked him as I got my tea cup out of the cabinet.
"Hmm...the day after Thanksgiving?" he asked as he handed me a tea bag.
"You know what we always do on the day after Thanksgiving?" I said as put the kettle on and turned around to see him trying to quietly leave the kitchen. "Oh, no you don't!" I cried.
"Oh, come on! The boys aren't even up yet!" he complained as he stopped and turned around to face me. "Can't we just enjoy one more day of Thanksgiving and start tomorrow?"
I shook my head. "Nope. It's tradition."
Steven shook his head. "Fine, we'll get all the Christmas decorations down from the attic as soon as they're all up."
I smiled, then went over to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Thank you." I said before I went over to the front window. "I can't wait to throw out all our dead mums and deflated pumpkins."
Steven stood next to me as we both looked at the house across the street from us. "How come their mums are still alive?" he asked. "Even their pumpkins look better then ours."
"They must have some special power when it comes to mums." I reasoned.
Steven looked over at me. "Or they water theirs." he suggested.
The kettle began to whistle and I turned around to go back to the kitchen. "I watered ours." I said. "They're just really needy plants."
Steven followed me to the kitchen. "How often did you water them?"
"It doesn't matter now." I poured the water into my cup, then tried to change the subject. "That's what's so great about today. It's a whole new holiday to decorate for!"
"Yeah..." Steven didn't sound thrilled.
"I don't know what your complaining about." I said. "I'm the one who does all the work. You guys just bring the containers down from the attic. I'm the one who spends the entire day transforming the house for the holidays!"
"And we appreciate that." Steven said. "But why can't we just do it over the weekend?"
"And break our tradition?"
"It's not our tradition, it's yours."
I thought about it for a moment. "I guess I could spend today just putting away all the Thanksgiving decorations." I looked around the house. "As long as you promise to help me over the weekend."
"Promise." he held one hand in the air while the other was on his heart.
I wasn't happy but I finally agreed. "Okay, fine."
Steven smiled. "Great! So now that you don't have all of that work ahead of you today, maybe you could get some grocery shopping done." he suggested. "Were out of everything."
"Are you kidding?" I opened the refrigerator. "It's still packed with leftovers from yesterday!" I cried.
"I know, but we already had that dinner three times yesterday." he complained as he moved the storage containers around on the shelves to make room for grocery shopping. "Can't we have something different for dinner tonight?"
I smiled as I slowly closed the refrigerator door. "Hey." I reminded him. "It was your idea to extend Thanksgiving for one more day."

I would like to be advise what kind of winter cover a should use: Mesh or Solid. Are the distance between the straps stander or they depend of the size of the pull.
I would like to be advise what kind of winter cover a should use: Mesh or Solid. Are the distance between the straps stander or they depend of the size of the pull.
The choice for type/kind depends on your preference/need.
New pool owner as well so my knowledge is only based on reading. We have a mesh safety cover to keep the dogs and leaves out. We get alot of snow and rain so we went with mesh.
Freeform covers have straps 30-36inches apart( mine are 34 and neighbors are 36) standard cover straps are up to 5 feet apart. I believe it depends on if it's a safety cover or just winter cover.
Mesh cover allows ice, rain and snow to drain into the pool (plus some fine debris depending on weave tightness)
Solid cover with mesh panel allows water, snow a place to drain into the pool but most debris is held out of pool.
Solid cover without mesh keeps all liquid and debris out of pool but requires some form of pump to sit on the cover to drain away the liquid.
First winter with the pool so not sure what it will look like this spring, have read that solid covers (properly balanced before closing) will require less work in the spring for opening.

Baked Corn Dogs
Who doesn't love a corn dog? Crispy, carb-y and decadent, corn dogs bring to mind summer, carnivals and simple pleasures but they come with a lot of baggage: corn dogs are crispy because they're deep-fried – mmm, fried deliciousness – and that's something many of us try to avoid, both because of the messy kitchen and the empty calorie gut bomb. These corn dogs take the rich, flavorful batter – the taste boosted with actual corn – and, with a fraction of the oil, result in a satisfying, comfort food with a much-improved nutritional profile.
I developed this as a gluten-free recipe but generally whatever all-purpose flour you prefer would do the trick, though you may have to fiddle around a little with the dry-to-wet ratio. Last, when baking gluten-free, I typically add xanthan gum, which can add structure and binding to batters; it is NOT necessary, though, and should be omitted with products with gluten.
Baked Corn Dogs
6 corn dog sticks or wooden skewers
6 jumbo vegan hot dogs,
cooked and cooled
1/2 cup plain, unsweetened plant-based milk
¼ cup
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4 teaspoons maple syrup
3/4 cup frozen corn,
1 ½ cups gluten-free, all-purpose flour
(I used Bob's Red Mill)
1 cup fine cornmeal
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne powder
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum*
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons refined coconut oil or vegan butter, solid
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the milk, aquafaba, lemon juice, maple syrup and corn in a blender and blend until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, onion powder, cayenne powder, xanthan gum, salt and pepper. Cut in the oil or vegan butter and mix into the flour with a fork. Stir in the milk and mix with a spoon until it comes together. It should stick between your fingers. If it is too dry, add more milk or oil; if it is too wet, add more flour. It needs to coat and stick to your veggie dogs. Mix until combined. It should be thick but smooth.
Take a handful of better and shape around the veggie dogs. It is very forgiving dough. Keep molding until the entire veggie dog is covered and in the shape of a corn dog. Prepare all the dogs and then push in your sticks. Place on your baking sheet.
Bake for ten minutes, flip and bake for ten minutes more, so 20 minutes total, until golden on both sides. Serve with mustard, ketchup, cashew cheese or whatever you like!

United States District Court, E.D. Pennsylvania
May 15, 2017
JOANNE REHMEYERv.PEAKE PLASTICS CORPORATION,
In this
products liability action, Plaintiff, Joanne Rehmeyer
("Plaintiff"), asserts claims of negligence,
strict liability, and breach of warranty against Model
Pattern Company, Inc. ("MP"), Parker-Hannifin
Corporation ("Parker"), and Sidener Engineering
Company ("Sidener") (collectively,
"Defendants"), arising from personal injuries
sustained at her workplace in Felton, Pennsylvania. Doc.
Presently before the court is Defendant Parker's motion
to transfer venue pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), and
Plaintiff's opposition thereto. Docs. 46 & 47. For
the reasons stated herein, the motion will be denied.
Complaint alleges that on November 7, 2014, Plaintiff was
injured while working on a trim press in the course of her
employment with automotive parts maker Key Plastics, when a
portion of the trim press disconnected from its cylinder and
descended, causing hand injuries. Complaint, Doc. 1-2
("Complaint") ¶ 47.[2] Plaintiff is a resident of
Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, and her workplace injury occurred
in Felton, Pennsylvania -- both in York County -- and she
received post-injury medical care from a variety of emergency
personnel and medical providers located in York County.
Id. ¶¶ 1, 7; Plaintiff's Initial
Disclosures, Doc. 46-8 ("Pl.'s Initial
Disclosures"). York County is located in the Middle
District of Pennsylvania. 28 U.S.C. § 118(b).
October 21, 2016, Plaintiff initiated this products liability
lawsuit in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.
Philadelphia is located in this district, the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania. 28 U.S.C. § 118(a). On October
25, 2016, Defendant Parker filed a notice of removal to the
United States District Court for the Middle District of
Pennsylvania, where it was docketed at Case No. 1:16-CV-2155,
and assigned to the Honorable William W.
Caldwell.[3] Doc. 1-1; Doc. 47 Exh. A. Shortly
thereafter Parker notified Judge Caldwell that the matter was
improperly removed to the Middle District, and by Order dated
October 31, 2016, Judge Caldwell determined that the matter
should have been removed to this district pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1441(a), and therefore transferred it here.
Rehmeyer v. Peake Plastics Corp., Case No.
1:16-CV-2155, Order (M.D. Pa. Oct. 31, 2016).[4] The matter was
assigned to the Honorable Harvey Bartle, III. Judge Bartle
denied Plaintiff's motion to remand, concluding that
Judge Caldwell had properly transferred rather than remanded
the matter following the improper removal. Docs. 21 & 22.
The parties subsequently consented to my jurisdiction on
March 3, 2017. Doc. 39.
April 12, 2017, Defendant Parker filed the present motion to
transfer venue pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), arguing
that the convenience of the parties and witnesses, and the
interest of justice, weigh in favor of transferring the case
back to the Middle District. Doc. 46. In response, Plaintiff
argues that none of the relevant factors used in determining
whether transfer is warranted under section 1404(a) favor
transfer to the Middle District. Doc. 47. The other
defendants have neither sought to join, nor opposed,
Parker's motion.
purposes of the present motion, and given the nature of this
case, the primary pertinent facts are the location of
potential trial witnesses and exhibits. Most of these facts
may be gleaned from the pleadings and the parties'
initial disclosures, and they are not disputed unless
otherwise noted.
stated above, Plaintiff is a resident of Shrewsbury in York
County, Pennsylvania, and both her place of employment where
the injury occurred and the medical facilities where she
received treatment are located in York County. Complaint
¶¶ 1, 7; Pl.'s Initial Disclosures at 2-3.
Defendant MP's principal place of business in Michigan,
Defendant Parker's principal place of business is in
Ohio, and Defendant Sidener's principal place of business
is in Indiana. Complaint ¶¶ 4-6.[5]According to the
Complaint, MP is in the business of designing, manufacturing
and supplying and/or selling trim dies, including the trim
die issued in the trim press at issue ("subject trim
press"); Parker is in the business of designing,
manufacturing, and selling hydraulic cylinders, including the
cylinder at issue ("subject cylinder"); and
Sidener designed, manufactured, and sold the subject cylinder
to Plaintiff's employer, Key Plastics. Id.
¶¶ 9-12.
to an incident report prepared by Key Plastics, their
personnel made changes to the subject trim press during the
summer of 2014, to change the mold/die being used,
see Incident Report, Doc. 46 Exh. G ("Incident
Report"), and this may have altered the height of the
safety stops on the subject trim press. According to
Plaintiff's Initial Disclosures, individuals with
relevant knowledge include Plaintiff's co-workers at Key
Plastics, all of whom live in York County, Pennsylvania.
See Incident Report; Pl.'s Initial Disclosures.
The subject trim press is stored at a facility in Loganville,
Pennsylvania, which is also located in York County, where on
March 28, 2017, it was inspected by counsel, expert witnesses
and company representatives. See Inspection Sign-in
Sheet, Doc. 46 Exh. K. A further inspection of the subject
trim press is anticipated. Doc. 46 at 5 n.19 (ECF
to Sidener's Initial Disclosures, individuals with
relevant information about the subject cylinder include its
own employees who work in the state of Indiana, and other
individuals located at Key Plastics' headquarters located
in Michigan. See Sidener Initial Disclosures, Doc.
47 Exh. D.[6] Similarly, MP employees identified as
having relevant information work in Michigan, Oregon,
Indiana, and/or Ohio. See Doc. 47 Exhs. E-G; MP
Initial Disclosures, Doc. 47 Exh. I.[7] Parker did not identify any
individuals in its initial disclosures, but notes that Atlas
Cylinders of Des Plaines, Illinois, is a potential
third-party source of relevant and discoverable information.
See Doc. 47 Exh. J.
parties have not provided any affidavits or statements
indicating that any potential witnesses would be unable to
attend trial in either Harrisburg in the Middle District, or
Philadelphia in the Eastern District.[8]

Like with most holidays and birthdays this year, when Veterans Day came, Navy reservist Leonard Viggiani's two sons figured they'd talk to their dad on Skype.
But when they arrived at a school ceremony honoring soldiers on Thursday, they found their dad, who's spent the last eight months in Africa, at the center of the room.
Viggiani surprised his children, Miles, 7, and Mikey, 10, when he returned home to Connecticut and showed up at Colchester Elementary School, which his younger son attends.
"It was absolutely awesome, and a little overwhelming," Viggiani told TODAY about his children's reaction to seeing him…. [read more]

Let's switch gears and review a comic from a less popular comic book house this week. I'll be reviewing issue #1 of "Resident Alien" by Peter Hogan (script) and Steve Parkhouse (art) from Dark Horse Comics. In this series, an alien accidently crashes his ship in rural America, and decides to take refuge among the people of Patience. The alien disguises himself as a semi-retired doctor, using his alien powers to keep the townspeople from seeing his true appearance. The town's doctor has been murdered, and "Harry Vanderspeigle" is tasked with helping the police find the real killer–while keeping his cover!
The cover of the comic led me to expect more of a slice-of-life series than the murder-mystery that the book actually is. However, I enjoy murder-mysteries, so I was completely fine with what I got. The story is well written and paced well, so even though the comic was dialogue heavy I was still intrigued. I was a fan of how expertly Peter Hogan wove multiple plotlines together. I hardly see this done well, so Resident Alien was a real treat in that regard.
The art leans towards minimalistic, but is crisp, clean and expressive. The style works well with the story that's being told. I love love LOVE the design of "Harry Vanderspeigle", who is distinct from other portrayals of alien life that I've seen while being interesting and humanoid.
The characterization, much like the art style, is crisp and clean. The characters are distinct from each other, and though not fully realized, are round enough that they're still interesting. As this is issue one, a bit of under-development is expected, and I'm willing to let the author have some room to develop the characters.
However, this isn't the first issue of the comic as I initially expected. The book opens with a note to read "issue 0" of the series before reading issue 1. Since when do comics have an "issue 0"? When did this become a thing? Luckily, Hogan is a good enough writer that issue 1 makes sense on it's own. My main issue, though, was that the first time I read the comic I skipped the blurb on the inside cover (because I thought this was the first issue) so I didn't know that "Harry Vanderspeigle" was in disguise. The audience never sees him from the perspective of the human characters. Since the other characters react to him as a human, I simply assumed that this was a world where alien contact was a normal thing. This isn't a deal breaker, don't get me wrong. It just changed the flavor of the book.
All in all, I enjoyed this comic. I was invested in the murder-mystery and the characters right away, and I'm planning to look for more of this series so that I can find out who killed the town's doctor–and if "Harry" is ever discovered.
God bless,
Kelsey J.
P.S: Please like and comment!

total rice exports reached 42,669 tonnes worth US$24,437,959 from
January to April 2011, compared to 21,322 tonnes worth $12,178,797 in
the same period last year.
"Demand is picking up throughout
European countries because we now export directly, whereas before we
just sold crops to neighbouring countries which processed for export,"
said the ministry's Director of Statistics Kong Putheara yesterday.
countries, such as China experienced droughts recently, but we have
not, and that's why we need to supply more," he said. "I think China
will require more rice from us this year."
He also highlighted growing opportunity in Europe from Cambodia's status as a Least Developed Country.
exports to the European Union do not pay tax, which provides its rice
shipments with savings of about $150 per tonne, Kong Putheara added.
"You can export freely without limitation on quota," he said.
However, many local producers still do not meet international standards of quality required by European buyers.
"We have not met our clients' needs yet, but if we achieve this, we can sell at much higher prices."
the first quarter of the year, Prey Veng province rice miller Khmer
Foods transported 7,180 tonnes to Europe, Managing Director Kim Savuth
told The Post.
"The increase was due to a surge in demand on the
global market, caused by natural disaster which affected many other
agricultural producing countries," he said.
He attributed the
growth to the duty-free export of agricultural products within the
European market, stating: "The EU [regulations] helps us export our
Khmer Foods plan to export an estimated 20,000 tonnes of rice to the EU this year.
significance of Cambodia's access to a global duty free market was also
highlighted by Lim Bun Heng, Director General of Loran Import-Export
Company, whose exports have also increased in the first quarter.
exports on the global market are a main factor for export growth, along
with encouragement from the government and relevant institutions."
added that the company planned to export 40,000 tonnes in 2011,
highlighting the EU as the major market, as well as considering China,
USA and the Philippines.
Cambodian government officials have targeted 1 million tonnes of rice exports by 2015.

With that set done all I have to say is that I am glad that I decided to give this season a chance. After disappointment for the past 4 years for me I can say that this is no disappointment. Here is what I thought of each performer.
Reed Grimm: Reed opened the set up this week. "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 was the song. I actually thought it was a bit too predictable a choice of song, but he made it his own by slowing it down (finally learned some of the words to this song). His musical strengths show in more then just instruments but down to his muting of his voice at parts (just like adam levine) and "scatting" which was not overdone as it has been on American Idol in the past. It pulled together for a great performance.
Adam Brock: Adam sang the first of many songs that were originally sung by women. Which was always a big piece of advice that simon cowell continuously said. He was solid vocally, reached a very moving emotional performance while keeping his soulful signature.
Colton Dixon: "Decode" by Paramore is one of my favorite songs, and I was scared that would hurt my vision of what he'd do with it. It didn't he performed well, moved well, and sang well. In these first three I don't think they missed a single beat at all. He has a very Jason Wade type of voice (lead singer of lifehouse) but with a bit more energy really then Jason has ever shown in a song.
Deandre Brackensick: The guy is the best vocal since Adam Lambert, and probably the second best ever in idol. However, his overuse of falsetto (which I like in small doses) I think hurt him irreparably. He reminds me of another idol contestant a few years ago by the name of Jason Castro, but he takes it to another level entirely.
Creighton Fraker: Sang beautifly, but the song was incredibly safe and when you compared his reaction to those in front of him it really was quite flat. He will more then likely suffer a less then optimal vote split with Reed Grimm.
Aaron Marcellus: Did a good rendition of the jackson 5 song he picked. It must have sounded better there then on tv because I thought it was good not great.
Heejun Han: The guy oozes likability, and he really can sing, but the song choice will hurt him.
Eben Frankewicz: Great singer, but really looked shaken up there..maybe just in comparison. Sang great.
Jeremy Rosado: I've never fully understood his vocal appeal. He did better then I expected, but lacked eneergy & emotion throughout.
Chase Likens: Sang a great song choice very well. Was not overly impressed but vote splits favor him quite a bit.
Phillip Phillips: I disagree completely with randy jackson. I thought the changes to the melody made his song better by miles. The performance of the night looking at what the point of this night is. He defined himself very well & sounded awesome.
Joshua Ledet: Awesome arrangement and delivery had even my 2 month old son raising his hands. He sounded alot better then he did in vegas/hollywood.
Jermaine Jones: I was so glad they invited him out of the four and he did absolutely great. The sad thing is it still might not be enough and now he can't come back if he leaves now.

A story published on the WRIC web site indicates the impact was in a downward motion, which, unless the shot was taken from a nearby rooftop, would indicate either a random, or extremely lucky shot from far away.

Shot Fired Into Cantor's Richmond Office
Richmond Police are investigating what they are calling an "act of vandalism" after U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor's local campaign office was struck with gunfire earlier this week.
Richmond Police officials said their investigating revealed the bullet was fired into the air, then struck the window in a downward direction, with enough force to shatter the glass.
No one was inside the building at the time of the shooting, approximately 1 a.m. Tuesday. The office is located in the Reagan Building, 25 East Main Street.
Richmond Police officials said the department is sharing information about their investigation with other law enforcement agencies, including Homeland Security.
No suspects have been named. Stay with 8news for updates.
