At Santa Ana garden, you can hang out or harvest
SANTA ANA – It's a lush patch of greenery in a dense city neighborhood. A ready supply of peppers, strawberries and cabbage. Maybe even the foundation of a miniature farmers market.
A quarter-acre of Jerome Park for the past four years has served as a free community garden that's as much a source of nutrition as tranquility.
The Jerome CommUnity Learning Garden is operated by The Grain Project, a nonprofit that aims to promote healthy, sustainable communities through community gardens, public art and farmers markets.
Rather than the regimented beds that are popular at other community gardens, the garden in Jerome Park is a potpourri of meandering pathways and patches of fruits and vegetables that pop up around every turn. Participants have counted some 180 species of plant life.
"It's a mish-mash," said Lara Montagne, executive director of The Grain Project. "Some people love it, and some don't. Food production is important, but equally important is making it a place where people will want to hang out. If they want to plant, they can plant. If they want to harvest, they can harvest."
Chayote squash hang from a pergola. Patches of naturally sweet stevia dot the ground, along with peanuts. A navel orange stands dotted with fruit just beginning to ripen, a gift from Richard Chavez, brother of United Farm Worker founder César Chavez.
Marcko Espinoza, 54, who has owned and run nurseries in the past, began working for The Grain Project as a volunteer, and is becoming a member of the staff, helping to oversee the garden. An immigrant from Guanajuato, Mexico, he knows the names of just about every plant in the garden – in English and in Spanish, along with their scientific names.
The flowers in the garden aren't just ornamental, but help to lure bees that pollinate the plants. Some, like Arnica montana, have medicinal qualities.
He likes to show children where their food comes from.
"When we have corn," he said, "I like to show kids where tortillas are from."
There's cotton, too.
The garden, launched in 2008 with a $5,000 grant from the KaBoom!, a nonprofit that develops play space, is a cornerstone of a community gardening effort that The Grain Project oversees. Other elements include the CommUnity Harvest and CommUnity Roots programs. With four part-time staff members, The Grain Project runs on a $200,000 annual budget, with $75,000 coming from a California Endowment grant.
Each Saturday at 10 a.m., families bring in fruits and vegetables from their home gardens to exchange with other residents. There you might find a bounty of what's growing in the heavily immigrant neighborhood, from loquats to pomegranates to grapefruit. Volunteers will also harvest what's available in the Jerome garden.
The garden, with up to 35 visitors a day, operates on a kind of honor system.
"Nothing is considered anybody's," said Montagne, 34, who studied art at UC Santa Cruz. "Whoever is here on a given day; if you want something, usually you check in with one of the leaders. We try to save most of harvest for Saturday at 10 a.m. Whoever is here harvests together. But during the week, if someone wants something, they can see if it's okay to pick by just checking in with one of the leaders."
Through CommUnity Roots, a pilot project that started last year, The Grain Project builds raised beds for free in the yards of low-income residents. It has developed seven of those, including two at Carr Intermediate and Valley High schools.
"It's been great, because families are giving back," Montagne said. "When they have a surplus, they bring it to the CommUnity Harvest."
As a result of The Grain Project's efforts, some 15,000 pounds of fruits, vegetables and herbs have been harvested and distributed since 2010, benefiting more than 270 families, with some donated in the past by Trader Joe's.
"Everything that's here goes to the community," said Luna Perez, 63, a volunteer. "Depending on the season, you'll find carrots, beets, lettuce, cauliflower. Everything that a family needs to eat better. It's really important for one's health."
Montagne is looking ahead to see how the program can grow and develop, like the Mexicola avocado tree and chilacayote squash in the garden.
From 2005 to 2008, she ran the Santa Ana Certified Farmers Market for The Grain Project. While popular, it was closed because it became expensive to run. Talks have begun among community organizations in the city to see if a farmers market could be revived. Montagne thinks that Santa Ana is big enough to sustain a main market, and satellites at places like Jerome Park.
Someday, Montagne hopes, the garden could expand, while vacant city-owned parcels could be used to develop family gardening plots. Someday, a commercial kitchen could be installed at the park's old concession stand so that aspiring chefs and entrepreneurs in the neighborhood could can their produce or create food items to sale in myriad local farmers markets. Someday, neighborhood gardeners could supplement their incomes by selling fruits and vegetables.
"Since the farmers market closed, we've taken this time to not only get good with growing our own stuff, but also with creating a whole network," Montagne said. "No other farmers market could be so locally based."

It shows the coil 3 has problem, rest of coil and plug looks ok now.

text: If he were constantly hitting at the front of the order, you might be able to make that case. But since he's often hitting 9th, it may very well hurt him. Derek "Ground into a Double Play" Jeter has helped hinder his base running somewhat useless as he doesn't seem to want to take pitches like he used to. Without looking too deeply into it, Jeter is probably the most common player to hit behind Gardner, and I don't really see that helping him all that much.

Loathesome politicians.
I stopped listening To PLP fairy tales years ago. I've got something better to do today. Going to Punkin Chunkin in DE. Google it.insane people doing insane things but they are smarter than the majority of our politicians.
Why did they pray?
Does she TRY to look for the most ridiculous looking hats?? or does she really think they look nice?? #FAIL
Obviously there are no mirrors in her house.
Anyone know where I can get a OBA/UBP pin that craig has on?
Get your own name.
Now it is open and everyone now knows the PLP vision, Paula can now call an election, closing Parliment before the OBA can respond to the speech... Awesome election tactic
Zane looks like he in a fighting stance ready for the "mob" that got him last time..............
That will be puppet Craig's face after the election results. Then he can go back to pumping my gas.
It just doesn't add up!So embarrassed for you Paula "Cog in de wheel" Cox. It is one thing to be thought of as a muppet but to wear that hat and remove all doubt is another....
OK... I am all for being unique BUT come on Madam Premier really!!!!!?????
I'll give it to you though no matter what you make sure you step out in something different!
All these promises with no money! Just wait for those 5 little words after the election......"we had to deceive you"
another statue of a black man... to add to the theatre boycott, slave trade memorial, renaming of every major school and Bermuda international... Not to mention the Sally basset statue which is the most heinous of all while this government marches around the island attempting to rid all images of white history (Dockyard Ship Insignia)
Can anyone see whats going on here???? and they preach racism Bermuda is going down the plughole...
all orders from Ewart - wondering when his statue will be commissioned. People start paying attention or we will be seeing the doom just as New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut... PAY ATTENTION!! Take God out, do as you see thngs without seeking Him first - passing Bills of things that are considered abominations in the Word of God. Fix it or we will feel the wrath of God. Remember when the Prophetess came to Bermuda to speak to the then Premier Smith - better pull out your old Bermuda Sun's and re-read... TSUNAMI because of their thoughtlessnes and greed!!!
We have how many people out of work, how many companies closing down, how many people struggling to make ends meet, how many people being shot and what is one of their main points for today - building a statue!?
She is really testing everyone's patience by not calling an election today. Everyone knows it is coming and no policy decisions will be taken anyway and no budget amount will be allocated for anything.
So, the administration will be lame duck and aimlessly drifting until the elections.
Apparently the government is going to bail out the BIU.
Hey Paula, my business isn't doing well. Can you put some of your tax revenue in my pocket so I don't sink?
Thats puppet Paulas face now how she looks at her master Zane !!!
DESPERATE...thats the word...DESPERATE...why doesn't she just admit that EWART BROWN either SPENT THE MONEY or _____ the money....oh I forgot...she was the cog that forked it over to him...STILL SHE NEEDS TO AUDIT THE RECORDS AND LET US KNOW HOW THE H>E>L>L we go this far in debt...where is the MONEY PAULA!
Good thing the lady has broad shoulders...
What in the name of Clarence Hill is that thing on her noggin? Is it a bird? Is it a nest?
It's an African pre war outfit. It will help to rally troops round Alaska hall

Many thought that improving the team after David Moyes wouldn't be a hard job at all.
However, experienced Dutch coach Louis van Gaal has made a right pig's ear of it at the moment. Nevertheless, van Gaal has a wealth of knowledge and has managed in some of the biggest and best clubs in the world, such as Bayern Munich, Barcelona and the Dutch national side.
The former Netherlands chief has always stuck to his own strict principles, and one of them that have caused a stir is his attack minded formation. Van Gaal has stuck to the 3-5-2 formation, with wing back's implemented to help the team in both attacking and defensive situations. But after the Red Devils dismal start – just two points from three games and humiliated in the Capital One cup against League One outfit MK Dons – why has the way he wants his team to play caused such a problem?
The wing backs that van Gaal has used is one issue. His ruthlessness with player recruitment is well documented, as well as who he chooses in his starting XI. It's fair to say Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia are not suited in that position. Both have the drive to go forward, but defensively they are non-existent. This is exactly why signing Ajax and Holland international Daley Blind is a shrewd move, and is as important as the signings of Angel Di Maria and Falcao.
With the arrivals of Blind from Ajax and Marcos Rojo from Sporting Lisbon, the question beckons, what now for Luke Shaw? Another England international who has the potential to be one of the best left backs in the country. Van Gaal has criticised the left back fitness levels, and as a result, this will be another promising English talent whose career has been blighted due to the fact Blind and Rojo are much more well equipped in that position.
With Rojo's defensive display's for Argentina in the World Cup being highly praised, and Blind having the freedom to counter attack at will, Shaw will no doubt return to his roots at Southampton in the not too distant future.
On the attacking front, Di Maria, Falcao and Ander Herrera are fantastic additions to the squad, and have made a statement to the English Premier League title contenders. After Mesut Ozil left Real Madrid for Arsenal, all eyes were on Di Maria at the Bernabeu to provide the assists for the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. The Argentinian winger will be providing exactly the same to the same calibre of players such as Rooney, Van Persie and Falcao, so why have Manchester United been written off for the title already?
Van Gaal played exactly the same formation with world class players at Bayern Munich in 2010, and didn't get off to the best of starts, winning just one of his first four matches in charge. That season ended with Van Gaal guiding Bayern Munich to the Bundesliga title, and getting them to the Champions League final.
An international break is in the pipeline for most of his squad, a perfect chance for his players to work on the 3-5-2 formation when they return. It could mean the likes of Young, Fellaini and Shaw will be left to rot in the reserves, but this formation has been proven to be effective on the opposition, and Van Gaal's philosophy will finally come good.

ATTALLA, Ala. - Savannah Hardin's life was in turmoil long before police say the 9-year-old was run to death by her grandmother and stepmother for allegedly lying about some candy she ate.
Divorce and custody documents filed in family court over a period of several years reflect a history of fractured family relationships, with Savannah's divorced parents fighting over her welfare; claims of mental instability and abuse between her father and his second wife; medical problems that required frequent doctor visits; and counseling for the girl who still somehow managed to remain among the top students in her third-grade class.
Authorities say Savannah's life ended in exhaustion earlier this month when she was forced by her paternal grandmother, Joyce Hardin Gerrard, to run for three hours, while her stepmother, Jessica Mae Hardin, did nothing to stop it.
Jessica Mae Hardin, Ala. stepmom accused of running 9-year-old girl to death, gives birth
Grandmother, stepmother charged in death of Ala. girl forced to run as punishment
The grandmother prodded her along cruelly, and the stepmother didn't intervene until Savannah collapsed in an unconscious heap, investigators say.
Now, Hardin Garrard is in jail and Savannah's stepmother is being held in police custody at a hospital after giving birth to another child. Both have been charged with murder.
Jessica Mae Hardin's attorneys, Morgan Cunningham and Vince Pentecost, said in a statement Friday that Hardin was "incredibly devastated over Savannah's death" and they would prove her innocence.
"Unfortunately, whenever a child passes away, our society wants to place blame, our media wants to sensationalize and our elected officials want to make grandiose statements that are not based in fact," they said.
A defense lawyer representing the grandmother said she will be cleared of any crime.
"Even then, Joyce Garrard and her family will continue to grieve over the loss of their beloved Savannah," Dani Bone said.
Neighbors and classmates created a small memorial for Savannah, depositing stuffed animals and flowers and attaching balloons to a wooden fence surrounding the trailer where she lived with her family off a dirt road. Included in the informal memorial was a white wooden cross hung with a ribbon and to which a poem had been attached. A neighbor of Savannah's family, Gail Denny, held back tears as she placed a candle and a stuffed animal at the site Wednesday. She noted that on Valentine's Day, her grandson had asked Savannah to be his girlfriend, and she said yes.
"I just can't believe it," she said of Savannah's death.
A few miles away at Carlisle Elementary School, students placed written letters and hand-drawn pictures on Savannah's desk, which was brought into a main hallway.
"Savannah was an excellent student, earning A's and B's in her school work," said a statement released by school Principal Linda Johnson. "Her favorite subject was math; she enjoyed reading books to earn points in the Accelerated Reader program, and was very proud of always meeting her reading goals. ... Savannah was a happy child at school. She always wore a smile, and often brightened the day of teachers and administrators with her kind comments."
Many who knew Savannah described her as normal and happy. She played and laughed with other kids at the bus stop, and sometimes rode a four-wheeler with her dad when he visited, they said. She loved horses and her favorite colors were lime green, hot pink and ocean blue, Johnson said in her statement.
Court documents filed by Savannah's father, Robert Hardin, last May show she attended counseling sessions every other week but seemed well adjusted.
But the records also tell a different story, that of a brief life rocked by tumult.
Robert and Savannah's biological mother, Heather Hardin, divorced in July 2006 when she was 3, the records show. The former couple shared custody of the girl, but the mother was her primary caregiver.
Each one of the parents later moved separately to Florida, according to a sworn statement by Robert Hardin. Hardin claimed that Heather Hardin was unfit to care for Savannah and that the child began living with him in October 2009. He said they moved northeast of Birmingham in January 2010. Hardin later married Jessica Mae, with whom he had a son, now 3.
Hardin works for the U.S. State Department and lived outside the country, so Jessica Mae and Joyce Hardin Garrard cared for Savannah and the boy, said a spokeswoman for the Etowah County Sheriff's office, Natalie Barton. Hardin and Jessica split in July 2010, court documents show, with him claiming she had bipolar disorder and alcoholic tendencies. She, in turn, accused him of mental and physical abuse, including pushing her against a wall and throwing her onto a sofa. She also accused him of transferring ownership of the mobile home to Hardin Gerrard to prevent Jessica from getting it in the divorce. Despite claiming they could no longer live together, the two reconciled by late 2010.
Court documents also show Savannah had an unspecified medical condition that required continuous medication and treatment, including monthly visits with her regular doctor and trips every few months to see a urologist in Birmingham, about 60 miles away.
Authorities say the grandmother became angry when Savannah allegedly ate chocolate, because it contains caffeine, and the girl was not supposed to ingest caffeine given her condition.
Sometime during the afternoon of Feb. 17, Joyce Hardin Gerrard allegedly forced Savannah to begin running in the yard outside their trailer. Barton said the grandmother was running the little girl "like a drill sergeant," pushing her to keep running by saying things like "Keep going!"
Barton said there is some evidence that the girl also was picking up sticks and other items in the yard and placing them in a burn pile. A large pile of unburned sticks and other items could be seen Friday behind the family's mobile home.
The stepmother, Jessica Mae Hardin, didn't intervene and call 911 until after the girl collapsed about three hours into her ordeal, Barton said. Savannah was taken to an area hospital and then later transferred to a hospital in Birmingham, where she was put on life support. Her father made the decision to disconnect her, and she died Monday.
While court documents show the girl's biological mother, Heather Hardin, hadn't been able to see her in months, an ex-husband said the woman rushed to Alabama from Florida in time to see Savannah in the hospital before she died. Authorities said an autopsy showed the child was severely dehydrated and had an extremely low level of sodium, which is necessary for the body to prevent seizures and dehydration.
With both Joyce Garrard and Jessica Hardin in police custody, state welfare officials said a relative is now caring for Savannah's younger half-brother. The same person will care for Jessica Mae Hardin's newborn, they said.
Friends and strangers alike have posted scores of messages on a remembrance site set up on Facebook, with many of them saying they wished something could have been done to save Savannah's life.

Sonam Kapoor cant stand Ranbir and Deepika together?
Now it can be told. The real reason why Sonam Kapoor refused debutant Vicky Singh's Mera Jahaan with Ranbir Kapoor was because of Deepika Padukone!
Ranbir's ladylove is also part of the cast. Obviously Sonam did not want to share screen space with Ranbir and Deepika together, especially with their excessive PDA! And moreover, the audience would look out for the chemistry between Ranbir-Deepika and not her.
Childhood pals Ranbir and Sonam had a special relationship. All was well between the two till Deepika walked into Ranbir's life.

Last year around the holidays, I developed a consuming obsession with solid perfumes, likely spurred on by the annual appearance of the limited edition Estee Lauder solid perfume compacts. Added to that list were a limited edition Coco Mademoiselle solid and one from Covet by Sarah Jessica Parker, which was prettier than the original bottle.
A few more solid offerings have appeared of late, so let's have a look:
Vera Wang Princess Sparkling Creme Perfume ($38) I know Princess is a best seller, so I'll probably get a lot of flak for saying it's vile, but honestly I just don't like it. Nor do I particularly like this little keyring, which looks like it belongs in a Sanrio store. However, Princess has legions of fans, so if you're one of them and have been on the hunt for a portable version, look no further.
Tocca Solid Fragrance in Stella, Florence, and Cleopatra ($30) Three of Tocca's scents are now available in solid form -- Stella (blood orange), Florence (rose) and Cleopatra (grapefruit and cucumber). Of the three, Cleopatra is my favorite, but I'm waiting for them to introduce solid versions of Touch and new Brigitte!
Marc Jacobs Daisy Solid Perfume Ring ($30) I saw Miley Cyrus wearing this, and now can't get that annoying image out of my head! It's super cute, although I'm not sure I'd ever actually wear it as a ring. Actually, I might just buy it for the adorable gold pouch it comes in.
L LAMB by Gwen Stefani Solid Perfume ($42) The most expensive of the bunch, the LAMB solid fragance comes in a gold compact that looks like Tetris pieces. I'm not the biggest fan of LAMB, but I'm really liking this solid compact.

*200X ~ WMD Roboto/Sorceress *Filmation ~ Teela' Na/Hawke *Play-Sets ~ Eternia/Crystal Castle *Vehicles ~ Land Shark/Roton *Beasts ~ Stridor/Dragoon
This one is tougher....
Masque is cool to be sure, but I love an Egyptian motif....
Huntara vs Masque was easy for me....Masque took that one....Masque is almost monochromatic, but with a cool mask....Nepthu is colorful and sports that Egyptian motif....and has an ankh....
I do really like Lord Masque, and hope he makes it....I have doubts Nepthu will (Unless Scott commands it, that is), so I'll vote Nepthu....just so he gets a little love....plus the main thing is the Egyptian motif wins out to me....Masque is dark....so he is already bad ass looking.
Recent.... HATMOTU Beast Man & Evil Seed
Wanted.... Filmation Mer-Man, Teela & Sorceress

Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....

Lord Masque without hesitation.

I voted Masque but Nepthu has the way better design.
But i have to confess i have never seen his episode. I think with all the talk about him, i need to look it up.
*Toy version Catra *Sagitar *Drissi *Lizorr *Zilora *Granita *Delora *Battle Armor Queen Marlena *Hawke *Pebb-Liss(Minicomic Comet Warrior) *Lady Slither
well, at least the results are conclusive
Lord Masque
Dead @ the amount of votes Nepthu has.
"My favorite Harry Potter movie is Troll."
I voted for Masque. I dig the Egyptian vibe but don't remember Nepthu like I do Masque....though only because of Shokoti. I wouldn't mind Nepthu as much though if he came with a sand demon.....

My Sales Thread: http://www.he-man.org/forums/boards/...-FT-WTB-Thread
Masque, for sure. He'd also be a nice addition to Shokoti.

MAsque all the way, Had no memory of who Nepthu was until all this started.

It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Definitely Masque.
I'd rather have figures of Nepthu's Sand Demons, than Nepthu himself.
I voted Nepthu since he's not feeling the love.
But honestly, either one will do the same for me. I want both!

Johnny Sample and Marty Wright kicked it off and the Site has had seen heaps of changes over the years. We have always been keen to report on whats happening in our town with Road trips and Jams and we always will ... despite social media sites slowing us a bit. Photos and Vids are what we love. Exciting times for Yass over the next couple of years with the strength in BMX making waves for a major upgrade of the Yass Skatepark. It's worth keeping an eye on the News section for all of that. A new addition to the Ridinbmx is the Shop. All the gear you need to keep rollin and looking good. The Shop is a real shop based in Yass with all the goodies available online or at Unit 2/234 Comur Street. As we speak we are still stocking the bits into these pages...... We are looking to pump it up this year with a Ridin Team to be set-up to shred.... This is a site all about having fun, hanging out and 99% BMX related which is just the way we like it. We are always searching for more bmx vids, more bmx pics and anything to do with making Ridin Bmx great so if you have the photo or video that you think people should see send it in... |

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Verisante Technology, Inc. (TSX-V: VRS, OTCQX: VRSEF, Frankfurt: V3T) (the "Company" or "Verisante"), a leader in cancer detection technology, announced today that the Company has accepted delivery of two initial pre-production units of the Verisante Aura™, an innovative skin cancer detection device, from StarFish Medical Inc.
The units will be used for final usability and safety testing before commercial production begins by the end of the year. The Company also continues to work closely with Clarion Medical Technologies Inc., the exclusive Canadian distributor of Aura™, in preparing for the product launch in Canada once production begins.
At an independent meeting of leading skin specialists earlier this year in Toronto, Dr. Andrei Metelitsa from Calgary made a brief presentation on Verisante Aura™ and this was followed up with an anonymous electronic survey of the participants. "Over half of the doctors indicated they would purchase a device," said Dan Webb, CEO of Clarion. "Clarion is ready to bring this life saving technology to medical professionals across the country, with our preliminary market research showing great interest in Aura™."
Thomas Braun, President and CEO of Verisante Technology, Inc. said the Company continues to meet expected milestones for this year as it moves closer towards full commercialization of Aura™. "In collaboration with our sales, marketing and manufacturing partners, we are committed to a steady and measured roll out of Aura™ into the markets where we have approval to sell," said Braun.
Aura™ has been approved for sale in Canada, Europe and Australia. Verisante is continuing regulatory efforts to obtain approval to sell Aura™ in Mexico, Brazil and the United States, while also continuing the product development of its Core™ series of products. The Core™ series utilizes the same platform technology as the Aura™ for the early detection of cancers of the lung, colon and cervix.
Verisante Aura™ is indicated for use for the evaluation of skin lesions that may be clinically suspicious for melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma and/or basal cell carcinoma when a medical professional chooses to obtain additional information to rule out one of the above conditions before making a final decision to biopsy. Aura™ is a non-invasive optical system that uses Raman spectroscopy to
biochemically analyze the skin, providing immediate and accurate results. The device will help to automate the current process of diagnosis, allowing rapid scanning of the 20 to 40 skin lesions on at-risk individuals, improving patient outcomes and comfort.
Early detection is key to saving the lives of melanoma patients and saving healthcare costs. When melanoma is diagnosed and treated in the earliest stages, the survival rate is 99 per cent and it costs about $1,800 to treat it. When detected and treated in late stages, the survival rate decreases to 15 per cent, while the cost to treat it increases to $170,000
To view current photos of the pre-production units, visit the Company's Facebook page at: www.facebook.com/verisante
About Verisante Technology, Inc.
Verisante is a medical device company committed to commercializing innovative systems for the early detection of cancer. The Verisante Aura™ for skin cancer detection and the Verisante Core™ series for lung, colon and cervical cancer detection utilize a proprietary cancer detection platform while the operating software and probe technology are unique to each device. The cancer detection platform was developed by the BC Cancer Agency and tested and refined at the Skin Care Centre at Vancouver General Hospital. This exclusive platform technology allows Verisante to develop and offer a range of
compact, non-invasive cancer detection devices that offer physicians immediate results for many of the most common cancers. The Aura™ has been approved for sale in Canada, Europe and Australia. The Core™ has not yet been approved for sale.
Verisante Aura™ was recently awarded Popular Science Magazine's "Best of What's New Award" for 2011, and Verisante Core™ was named one of the top 10 cancer breakthroughs of 2011 by the Canadian Cancer Society. In addition, the Company was named a finalist for the 2011 Regional Awards for New Technology by the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters and the National Research Council of Canada and named as the year's top ranking Technology and Life Sciences Company on the TSX Venture 50.

Think only of the book you are writing
From the very wonderful Brain Pickings:
In 1932-1933, while working on what would become his first published novel, Tropic of Cancer, Miller devised and adhered to a stringent daily routine to propel his writing. Among it was this list of eleven commandments, found in Henry Miller on Writing — a fine addition to these 9 essential books on reading and writing, part of this year's resolution to read more and write better.
Work on one thing at a time until finished.
Start no more new books, add no more new material to 'Black Spring.'
Don't be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.
Work according to Program and not according to mood. Stop at the appointed time!
When you can't create you can work.
Cement a little every day, rather than add new fertilizers.
Keep human! See people, go places, drink if you feel like it.
Don't be a draught-horse! Work with pleasure only.
Discard the Program when you feel like it—but go back to it next day. Concentrate. Narrow down. Exclude.
Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.
Write first and always. Painting, music, friends, cinema, all these come afterwards.Under a part titled Daily Program, his routine also featured the following wonderful blueprint for productivity, inspiration, and mental health:
If groggy, type notes and allocate, as stimulus.If in fine fettle, write.
Work of section in hand, following plan of section scrupulously. No intrusions, no diversions. Write to finish one section at a time, for good and all.
See friends. Read in cafés.
Explore unfamiliar sections — on foot if wet, on bicycle if dry.
Write, if in mood, but only on Minor program.
Paint if empty or tired.
Make Notes. Make Charts, Plans. Make corrections of MS.
Note: Allow sufficient time during daylight to make an occasional visit to museums or an occasional sketch or an occasional bike ride. Sketch in cafés and trains and streets. Cut the movies! Library for references once a week.
For more of Miller's obsessive recipes for creative rigor, dig into Henry Miller on Writing.

MORRIS — In December, the Morris Area School District received a $124,877 rebate check from from OtterTail Power Company as a result of an energy improvement project completed last year. The district began working with McKinstry, an engineering firm from Osseo, Minnesota, last year to make improvements across the two school buildings that would make them more efficient. Every light in both buildings and parking lots has been upgraded to LEDs, the building ventilation and automation systems were improved, and a digital control system was added.
The Stevens County Historical Society and Museum began the new year with two new staff members, ready to bring fresh energy and ideas to the organization. "We want to make (the museum) a place that people want to come and learn about and find out why history matters," said Executive Director Kate Sauers. "History affects our present and affects our future. We all have our own personal histories, and the history around us — whether it's local or national scale — affects all of us."
MORRIS — The city of Morris will scale back plans for a shelter improvement at Pomme de Terre Park after architect's estimates and bids from contractors came back higher than expected. "Leading into the bids, we knew that the costs were higher than what we thought they were going to be," City Manager Blaine Hill told the Morris City Council on Tuesday. "The bids came in fairly high. ... It really depends how hungry contractors are."
MORRIS - In 2015, the Morris Municipal Liquor Store topped $2 million in sales, making it one of the increasingly rare rural municipal liquor operations still making money. That's been...
The Morris Area School District is making progress as part of the state's World's Best Workforce program, but more work needs to be done to improve student literacy in all grades. Superintendent Rick Lahn gave a presentation on the district's World's Best Workforce initiatives at the School Board's reorganizational meeting on Monday, Jan. 4.
At their first meeting of 2016, the Stevens County Board of Commissioners reviewed a preliminary overview of how county revenue and expenses compared to the budget for 2015. A number of departments including the sheriff's office, recorder and assessor, received less revenue than anticipated. County Coordinator Becky Young said that was likely due to industry trends where more information is available online for free. On the whole, however, most county departments were very close to both their revenue and expenditure projects.
MORRIS – Stevens County didn't have to wait long to welcome the first baby of 2016. Joselyn Sophia Jimenez was born on Jan. 2, 2016 at Stevens Community Medical Center...
MORRIS — The second half of 2015 marked a major anniversary for the Morris Fire Department, construction for a new assisted living facility, and trips to state for the Tiger girls in cross country and volleyball. July
MORRIS — An international treaty on farming and agriculture may seem distant to those of us in rural Minnesota, but University of Minnesota Morris Associate Professor Sheri Breen believes decisions being made over the future of seeds will have impacts on food systems around the world. "It seems to me that we're at a historical period in which in understanding of seeds as property — what it means to own seeds and whether we can own seeds — is hugely significant," said Breen.
MORRIS — In their final meeting of the year, the Stevens County Board of Commissioners voted to give a 2 percent salary increased to all county employees. The only people who did not have their wages increased were the commissioners, who will continue to earn $16,787 per year, with an additional per diem of $60 or $75 for approved committee meetings. The negotiations committee had previously negotiated contracts with the county's three unions that all included a 2 percent salary increase.

As a new, austere city budget kicks in, Springfield residents will face a general decline in infrastructure maintenance.The city budget that went into effect on Sunday was hit by declining tax revenues and increasing fixed expenses. Lee Erdman says is one of the most austere budgets he's seen in his 42 years as a local government professional.
"We reduced the workforce by, you know, some 364 positions or so. That's about 24 percent in four years."
Erdman is Springfield's chief financial officer. He says a $3 million cut in the city's operating budget has forced the layoff of 12 workers and the elimination of another 96 vacant positions. 3 library branches were closed this week, and 10 city parks will not be maintained. Al Chwalek is director of public works, who's department budget has been cut by $900,000. He says his crews will no longer pick up trash at commercial properties or multi-unit residences of four or more units. Street sweeping will be seriously curtailed. And there will be no non-essential sidewalk repairs this year.
"A couple of years ago we eliminated sidewalk replacements, and now we had a crew that would just go around and try to fix these slabs where the tree roots would raise them. That program is completely eliminated and fifty percent of the street sweeping will no longer be conducted. The problem with that is it's also drivers that we utilize in the wintertime. So I am very, very short drivers now. I now have more trucks than I have drivers."
And Lee Erdman says he doesn't except the city's fiscal situation to improve for at least the next two years without increases in non-educational state aid and better tax revenues.

If he gets canned end of this season and you are Woody Johnson, would you go after Pioli for GM.
I would.
If he gets canned end of this season and you are Woody Johnson, would you go after Pioli for GM.
I would.
Bill Polian or bust!
He goes by the name "Carlton" now. He's irreplaceable.
Scott Pioli sucks.
Pioli built a solid team...unfortunately a GM is only as good as his QB
Sound familiar?
Let's not act like Belichick knows what he's doing totally and his disciples are amazing. The guy wasn't that impressive as a head coach until Tom Brady and there have been head coaching failures by Belichick disciples so it doesn't mean much to stick with him everywhere. How did Mangini, McDaniels, and Saban (in the NFL) do, for example? When I watched A Football Life on the 95 Browns, I actually thought it was hilarious. How many of them were successful in the NFL? Ozzie Newsome, that's it basically, and Belichick said he knew he wanted Newsome with him in some capacity because he already had a good football IQ. Meanwhile, look at Bill Walsh disciples (Holmgren, Gruden, etc.) and even Parcells (Peyton, Belichick, Coughlin, etc.). Pioli is Parcells son-in-law now so it made sense later in his career that he would try and carry Pioli with him more so, but Pioli was originally a Belichick guy to my knowledge and that isn't great pedigree based on the evidence so far.
Lets say above is true, then that indicates he is in fact a strong coach - if that in fact is his primary role in college.
Strong GM + Strong Coach = Superbowls
Have to be an exceptional coach to win without a strong GM.
Have no chance as a strong GM without a strong coach.
No thanks.
His record in KC is pretty suspect. He's probably better than Mike T, but A. that isn't saying much and B. he wouldn't be getting fired for outstanding performance.
I don't want anyone else's garbage.
Scott Pioli has romeo crennel and matt cassel leading his team. And u want this guy here?

I'm looking to buy a 17-20 cubic foot upright freezer. I'd like to know which models are good to great quality - i.e. built well, reliable. Not looking for many options - frost free may be the only option we'd consider. I won't buy another GE product - my microwave and dishwasher were my "lesson learned". Thanks. |

well personally i'm the frigidaire guy here but if you can handle the lil bit of extra work i recommend a manual defrost, not frost free from the size you want i have to assume you will have a large amount of food destined for long term storage, its the raise in temperature from the defrosting that causes freezer burn, this defeats the purpose of a large freezer in my opinion if done regularly defrosting an upright is not very time consuming if you use a blow dryer or steam gun always remember to dry the racks well with a towel before putting the unit back into service frigidaire manual uprights have a drain hole and tube you can place into a container for easy clean-up ____________________ The only stupid question is the one not asked hope i've been helpfull, if you wish to buy Brnt beer kick here http://brnttoast.googlepages.com/home feel free to prvt msg frigidaire questions my way (i dont log in every day) |

Students Track Health of Hibernating Bats After Introduction of Deadly White-Nose Syndrome
Associate Professor Karen Francl and her research students have been working with wildlife biologists from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation's Natural Heritage Program to study the impacts of White-Nose Syndrome (a fungal-borne disease) on bats hibernating in Virginia caves. They have tracked the declines of bat species in 15 caves over the past 4 years, with some species declining 90-100% in some caves. One positive note - the Virginia big-eared bat (in photograph) appears not to be affected by this deadly fungus.

Harris testifies about night of murders, Part 1
Harris admits he was drunk and high on cocaine the night of the murders. He admits he was out looking for sex, but said those were not the reasons he went to Beason.
He says he went there to buy marijuana from Rick Gee. He says Rick was like a father to him and it was common for them to hang out late at night.
Chris says he walked into the home and didn't see anything unusual until he found Rick and Ruth dead. He says he also saw 11-year old Austin barely alive, laying in a pool of blood.
That's when he says 14-year old Dillen came at him with a knife. Chris says he ducked out of the way and picked up the tire iron, which was laying at Rick and Ruth's feet. He hit Dillen several times with it. He says he then got scared and left.
Until now, Harris has been very quiet and emotionless in court. Friday, on the stand, he got extremely emotional, breaking down in tears.
The judge says the case should wrap up by the end of next week. Then it will be up to the jury to decide Harris' fate. They all have to agree on 38 counts against him, including murder, armed robbery and aggravated battery.

Gomez's almost total lack of image can be refreshing. Its members don't appear on the album covers (including "How We Operate," its recent release for Dave Matthew's ATO imprint) or at the latest nightclubs or on Page Six, which means you're forced to concentrate on the music -- rustic blues-rock of a very high order.
In an era when bands are massaged and shaped into easily grasped promotional personae (with more thought often given to the promo materials than to the music), Gomez's almost total lack of image can be refreshing. Its members don't appear on the album covers (including "How We Operate," its recent release for Dave Matthew's ATO imprint) or at the latest nightclubs or on Page Six, which means you're forced to concentrate on the music — rustic blues-rock of a very high order.
But what works on album doesn't come off as well onstage; being the least flashy band in the world makes for only an intermittently absorbing show. The band's three singers are Ben Ottewell, whose gruff high tenor has a soulfulness that approaches Van Morrison; moon-faced Harry Potter look-alike Tom Gray, with his light croon; and Ian Bell, the most conventional rock singer, although his nasal vowels make him the most English-sounding. They keep the music from ever sinking into a monochromatic rut, but none makes a real impression onstage. Similarly, they're all fine musicians, but no one is a stand-out soloist. The music leans toward the Band, but Gomez's songs lack the mythic Americana of "The Weight" or "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." A better analogue would be the early '70s edition of Fleetwood Mac, which made some memorable albums such as "Penguin" and "Bare Trees" but was so faceless that a shady manager was able to send out a second, faux version of the band on tour. During the early going at the Avalon on Tuesday, Gomez could have performed behind a curtain for all the personality they showed. But about halfway through the two-hour set, the band loosened up considerably. "Blue Moon Rising" and "How We Operate" built into exciting rave-ups, the rousing shuffle of "Hamoa Beach" scooted along like something from "Europe 72"-era Grateful Dead, and "Love Is Better Than a Warm Trombone" had an appealing, bluesy spaciness reminiscent of the early Dead. Expansive and bristling with energy, this songs offered rare moments of spontaneity from this often overly considered band. But they refused to sustain the moment, and whatever momentum they conjured was broken by the insertion of the more typically doleful "Free to Run." Opener David Ford is one of the many sensitive singer-songwriters that are showing up on KCRW with increasing frequency. His solo opening set showed him to be a singer with a fine, rough-grained pleading voice. He sounds like a guy who's been up all night having "that talk" with his spouse/lover. The songs on his Independiente debut, "I Sincerely Apologise for All the Trouble I've Caused" tend toward modern-day love-on-the-rocks melodrama. Even on "State of the Union," which he introduced as being inspired by the 2004 GOP convention, he sounded like a disappointed lover. Gomez plays Gotham's Webster Hall on June 21.Gomez; David Ford
