Guests react after the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Lake Dr. Logistics in Godfrey.

Tim Kuebrich, owner of Lake Dr. Logistics, stands in front of the Kansas City Southern train that delivered 112,000 bags of road salt to be warehoused before the bags are trucked to other cities.
GODFREY — The Metro East is uniquely positioned to move goods through the country.
Centrally located, the region has access to four interstates, two airports and a major waterway. So when Tim Kuebrich cut the ribbon Nov. 24 on his new business venture, Lake Dr. Logistics, he was tapping into that intermodal powerhouse.
Kuebrich, 51, started looking for a new place a couple years ago after his first business, AB Machine Shop, outgrew its space in Jerseyville. The 16-year-old business was a one-man operation repairing farm machinery. Gradually, Kuebrich took on more industrialized work and when he did, the business grew — and outgrew its space.
When he saw the 71,000-square-foot building at 6344 Lake Drive in Godfrey and the Kansas City Southern railroad spur that ran alongside it, he recognized its value. That's when he got the idea of getting into transloading, a method of shipping goods using more than one mode of transportation.
"We're changing the mode of how things are done," Kuebrich said. "Whatever a logistics company can do, we will. Short term or long term (warehousing), trucks to train, train to trucks, trucks to trucks."
He said it was a challenge to get the business up and running because the railroad company had to first give it the go-ahead, which took 18 months. The rail line and spur inside the fence also needed repairs. They hadn't been used since the Mead Corp. closed in 1997.
Tim Carr, a senior sales account executive with Kansas City Southern who worked with Kuebrich, said the railroad company was "elated to open service and expand the network in the region. The Kansas City Southern line ends in Jacksonville. This extends shipping out to Nashville, Indianapolis, Chicago."
"Now we've got the ball rolling," Kuebrich said.
And to demonstrate that to local dignitaries, employees, media and other interested parties, a KCS engine pulling four train cars made its first delivery — more than 100,000 bags of road salt destined for points well beyond Godfrey.
Once material — including salt, lumber, wood and paper products — is off-loaded into the warehouse, it can be shipped within a four-hour radius to Chicago, Indiana, Kentucky or St. Louis. Short-haul trucking allows truckers to make deliveries and be home at night.
Kuebrich's son, Andrew, will run the logistics company. If all goes as planned, Kuebrich said the warehouse will be filled to near capacity with a variety of products by mid-summer.

I love vegetables, especially if they are green. Sure, I have a warm relationship with carrots and yellow squash and parsnips; red, yellow and orange bell peppers tickle my taste buds, and of course cauliflower makes me smile. Lately I've even made peace with beets, but at the end of the day, it's the green stuff that I like to cook and eat. High up on that list is the cute little Brussel sprout. No, seriously. Brussel sprouts are cruciferous vegetables and those, my friends, are good for you and even if they weren't I would love 'em. If I prepared them, George Bush the Elder would have eaten his broccoli and he would have liked it. What is corned beef without cabbage? Choucroute garnie without sauerkraut? Cheese sauce without cauliflower?
Brussel sprouts are awesome. They look like tiny cabbages and they taste even better. I will often serve them with corned beef instead of cabbage, along with boiled new potatoes of roughly the same size as the sprouts. We always had them steamed or boiled, with a little salt and butter, but the new, better way to cook them, at least according to the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, is to roast them in the oven. Roasting vegetables enhances the natural flavors in a different way than boiling. Natural sugars are caramelized, and marry well with the salt that is usually added before cooking.
I decided to try combining roasted Brussel sprouts with a maple vinaigrette that was part of a recipe for boiled Brussel sprouts. Threw those random numbers in the air and came up with a winner, at least according to Robert, who did declare "don't lose that recipe!" As if I would:
1 pound fresh Brussel sprouts
2 tablespoons olive oil
kosher salt
ground black pepper
For the vinaigrette:
4 tablespoons sherry vinegar
4 tablespoons maple syrup (not top grade)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons walnut oil
freshly ground nutmeg
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Trim the root end of the sprouts, and pull off any yellowed leaves. Place the sprouts in an aluminum baking dish (or a rimmed baking sheet). Pour on the olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Shake the pan gently. back and forth, so that the sprouts are evenly coated with oil and seasoning. Place in the oven for 35 minutes, until the Brussel sprouts are light brown on the outside and tender on the inside. Shake the pan occasionally while roasting.
While the sprouts are roasting, whisk the vinaigrette ingredients together.
Carefully move the hot Brussel sprouts to a nice serving bowl, and pour all or most of the vinaigrette over. Serve immediately. Leftovers can be served chilled from the refrigerator, or at room temperature, or even gently reheated.
This is a cooking blog with a back story. It focuses on food, family, fiber arts, pets, friends, and fibromyalgia. It's about life at a certain age, the joys, the sorrows, the backaches, the mental confusion. There's a lot of kvetching, complaining, occasional profanity, righteous indignation, political incorrectness, knitting exhortations, and really good, original recipes.

Although, despite all of this, I couldn't help but feel slightly irresponsible. I mean, shouldn't I be encouraging hockey or football or someother socially acceptable male activity? And is it right to be answering questions about Rogue Trader, and talking about ebay, with an impressionable nine year old? Especially knowing of the potential joyful madness that awaits such a journey?
And what about the dangers of the collecting mania??

Low Tide: 0.0' @ 7:04 AM
The final day of Oregon's Spring break was windy and overcast once again. Staff and volunteers were on the beach just after sunrise to greet the early morning visitors to Haystack Rock. Our highest count was 12 people in the intertidal.
It was an exciting day for birding though! We saw our first returning Pigeon Guillemots (Cepphus columba) of the season. These small black birds with white wings bars are related to Tufted Puffins (Fratercula cirrhata) and Common Murres (Uria aalge), all members of the Auk family. They are a diving sea bird, foraging for small fish, crustaceans, and other invertebrates. They nest low on the cliffs of Haystack Rock and are therefore very susceptible to human disturbance. Listen for their low and quick, whittle-like call while you explore the intertidal!

Staff and volunteers also spotted our juvenile Black Oystercatcher (Haematopus bachmani) with it's parents and numerous Harlequin Ducks (Histrionicus histrionicus)

Event Highlights Importance of Watersheds to Community
By Todd Sattison, Programs Coordinator, WPC
The City of Auburn is proud to be part of the upcoming Watershed and Spread event on March 2 from 6:30-8 at Middaugh Hall at the DeKalb County Fairgrounds (708 S. Union Street Auburn, IN 46706). Hosted by the St. Joe River Watershed Initiative, Dekalb SWCD, Purdue Extension and the City of Auburn, this free educational event is relevant to every citizen.
Why You Should Care about Watersheds
Watersheds are more than just drainage areas in and around our communities. They are necessary to support habitat for plants and animals, and provide drinking water for people and wildlife. Water from rainfall or snowmelt that doesn't evaporate or soak into the soil runs into ditches, streams, wetlands or lakes. The land area where the water drains from is a watershed.
How Watersheds Become Polluted
Even if you don't live on Cedar Creek, you may be contributing to the pollution of creeks, lakes and streams. Cedar Creek is larger than its shoreline. It's part of a larger system—a watershed—and flows into St. Joseph River, Maumee River and eventually Lake Erie.
Attend the March 2nd event to hear Dr. Chad Penn, Research Soil Scientist with USDA-ARS, explain:
- Common activities, such as pet waste, lawn care, automotive maintenance and farming, that contribute excess nutrients, sediment and pollutants to Cedar Creek
- How pollutants carried from the watershed can harm fish and plant life in lakes and rivers—and, in some situations, contaminate well water and other drinking water sources
Let's do our part and keep Indiana's watersheds clean. We can start together on March 2. Hope to see you there!

It's 2:04 AM where I live. Just pulling out/coming around from the scary part of dealing with Dissociative Identity Disorder. When I first accepted this diagnosis, it came after several months of denial. I had lost time here and there, chalked it up to my body's response to trauma and physical ailments that would just "shut me down". I thought I would fall asleep at inopportune times and wake with little or no memory of what had happened. I was being treated at the time with antidepressants and some anti-anxiety meds and was aware of anecdotal tales of other people who had similar time lapses during their days. But then something happened that made me reevaluate all that….and scared me to death.
I live in a suburb outside of Philadelphia. One late afternoon I woke up/ came too in an unfamiliar place. I found myself sitting on a bench in Chicago O'Hare airport departure area. One problem…..three days of my life were missing, I dressed for Philly weather and not the October chill of Chicago, I had a ticket stub in my pocket, and I had NO IDEA how I had gotten there. Family members back home had no idea where I was, and I had no idea how I had gotten to Chicago….or why. Fear gripped my heart and soul. My thinking was still a bit muddled. I managed to make it back home and immediately started on a quest for answers. I won't bore you with all the details along the way, but then it happened again. This time, I had a witness who provided me and my health professional team with a first hand account of my bizarre behavior, physical transformation, personality change, and his impression as well as his fear. He at first thought I had been invaded by some "evil spirit" and my behavior from his point of view just defied logical explanation.
Well, this was my first confirmed and verified account of DID…..although in hindsight there had been others. Since then, I have transitioned/ dissociated many times. It took a good two years for me and my treatment team to find an approach that showed hope for recovery…..after much trial and error. I do not have many of these extended episodes of losing time anymore, but it still happens. The number one trigger that I am still trying to find ways to cope with in a healthy way is that of direct or perceived violence directed towards me.
It's not perfect. I am not cured. But I have made real strides toward recovery with the goal of integration or coöperation within the distinct and unique personalities residing in my physical body. Conventional psychology states that severe trauma from early childhood…..events so horrible that they produce emotions that are truly too overwhelming for the preschooler to handle, cause a split in the development of self…..allowing for alternate personalities to emerge as a protective mechanism for the one being abused.
It has been a humbling experience, dealing with this diagnosis. It also comes with a whole host of personal, medical, career, relationship issues that i never dreamed were possible before I actually lived them. And there is no ONE treatment plan that works for all people…..as is the case with most psychological issues, it is trial and error.
So, I have made real progress in my recovery. But I know I am not out of the woods yet. My recent surgery and interaction with the traditional medical system sent me into a brief relapse, And for anyone out there who has never experienced this emotional illness, the best analogy I have for it comes from Alice in Wonderland. It truly feels like I fall down a rabbit hole and enter an alternate world that cannot be rectified with my view of reality…..yet it happens.
Imagine waking in the morning, going about the routine of you day, and then somewhere along the way your entire memory just goes blank. You think this has lasted for few minutes, but everything else in the real world shows you that it has been days. Terro then sets in…..what did i do, where did I go, did i do something to hurt myself or others. In a word Terror.
So dear friends, I recently fell down that rabbit hole again. And I am trying to quickly resume my recovery and get back on track. But it takes time, and support. I do not have a history of drug abuse or alcoholism. I held a six figure salary job as a female home builder developing new home communities up and down the East coast of America, I raised my children, and gave much time, knowledge, and inspiration to the young women around the country competing in élite level gymnastics. But all that is all on hold now.
As scary as this sounds, and believe me it terrified me at first, I am determined to move forward and creating a second adulthood on my terms in a way that allows me to give back…..to contribute. Thanks for hanging in there, reading this post, and trying to understand. I am here as a source of support and information for all people dealing with mental illness of any kind. I appreciate all the support I have received along the way, and wish to pay it forward.

It's 12:45 AM and I'm not tired whatsoever. Last night I was up until 4 (although I actually settled down at 3 - but then Julia came in wet...) Anyways, I've always been a night person, but this is ridiculous. I could go into a good bit of psycho babble about why I think sleep is not forthcoming - but I'll spare us both. Instead, I'll just move right on to a few pictures.
We still head outside very regularly to wave at the school bus.
Here is Audrey relaxing one morning - cheerios in hand.
We're heading to the beach in a few days - and are now counting down.

Of all the problems that have held Africa back from development, nothing has been devastating like Corruption, Favoritism, Cronyism and Nepotism, which are all direct products of Africa's disdain for Virtue. This culture of crookedness, coupled with Africa's lack of CIVIC MORALITY or public Virtue has grounded our continent and has made Democracy vulnerable in Africa. A factor common to a whole range of Africa's socio-economic, political and financial failures is a striking absence of Character and Civic Virtue in Africa. The civic morality that underlies the social cohesion of many advanced democracies, is absent in Africa. A Culture of Crookedness has pervaded our society, which is undermining genuine Democracy and development efforts in Africa, making us a parochial, backward and underdeveloped people. We are talking about corporate deceit, corrupt elites and cynical masses in Africa. This is a character crisis. "Is there no virtue among us? If there be not, we are in a wretched situation. No theoretical checks – no form of government can render us secure. To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without virtue in the people is a chimerical idea." — James Madison
Africa's disregard for Virtue and Civic Morality has resonated for half a century with tragic consequences, especially in Nigeria. We have a character crisis here, and many people do not know that 'when nations esteem virtue, they flourish, and when they disdain virtue, they crumble'. Africans have disdained virtue. Africa is crumbling in corruption, disunity, mediocrity, disease and poverty. This is the threat we face now. Sadly, civic education in our schools is not teaching a civic virtue that reflects the wisdom that produced Western civilization, nor the tenets that make democracy flourish. The problem here is a total disregard for the virtues underpinning genuine democracy and progress of the West, which has mutated into what I Call Irresponsible Citizenship, manifesting in rampant corruption, amoral behaviors and general disorderliness. Ours has long become a culture of crookedness, deceit and apathy. Almost all African countries have proved that democracy cannot deliver progress in a culture of crookedness and , that no society can flourish without the practice of virtues.
Somehow Sub-Saharan Africa has missed the real issue in our development trajectory, and unfortunately the West has continued to deal with Africa as if we are on the right path to progress. How does West expect Africa flourish when the Virtues that underpin human and societal flourishing are ignored and disdained in our culture? No, Africa is going nowhere with this level of disdain for the Virtues responsible for Western development and prosperity. Democracy cannot flourish in a culture of corruption. "Public virtue cannot exist in a Nation without private Virtue, and public Virtue is the only Foundation of Republics." John Adams. In fact it was John Adams (one of the founding Father of American Democracy) who said Democracy is only for morality upright societies, and without morality Democracy will destroy America. This is my fear for USA. "Whenever we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary." Thomas Paine. A respectable section of today's America do seem to know that they greatness of USA was and is still tied to the practice of certain core virtues, which are fast disappearing in America. If the practice of virtue built the America into greatness, it is the practice of those virtue that can keep America great.
Back to my subject. If Democracy without Morality could destroy America, how can Democracy without Morality develop Africa? Sincerely, the Africa brand of Democracy (without morality) is destroying our continent. Democracy may never thrive in Africa because our culture will not allow us to build the institutions that strengthen democracy.
This is my case for RESPONSIBLE CITIZENSHIP in Africa. I am dreaming how to help Africans appreciate and imbibe the ideals of good character, Virtues and civic morality as a culture to underpin Democracy, Social Cohesion, Peaceful Co-existence, Political Stability, Creativity, Productivity and Economic Prosperity in Sub-Saharan Africa. Responsible Citizen s are morally intelligent residents of any society – good people who are committed doing good and actively caring about themselves, other citizens, their environment and their resources; good people who are habitually behaving with integrity in private and in public; good people are always standing up for what is right, and willingly accepting responsibility for serving public good.

It's Monday, What are You Reading is a meme hosted by Jen from Teach Mentor Texts and Kellee and Ricki from Unleashing Readers and Sheila at BookJourney
Andrea Davis Pinkney's novel in verse The Red Pencil was one of my NCTE purchases, made on the last morning when there was just one copy left on the bookshelf – lucky me!
Twelve year old Amira greets her birthday with high excitement – she is finally old enough to take on responsibilities, and to even dream of school. But, in the villages of South Darfur where Amira lives,the odds are against girls like her ever achieving much beyond early marriage and lives of back breaking work. It is also a time of great political upheaval, when the government has sent out the Janjaweed to storm and burn down villages in an effort to maintain power.
When death and destruction come to Amira's village, her life of pastoral peace and regularity is broken forever. What is left of Amira's family makes the long and arduous trek to a refugee camp, where life takes on a nightmarish rhythm of deprivation and hopelessness. Still, Amira clings to her dream of learning to read and write, even if it means setting off in search of it all by herself.
This is such a lyrically told story; it's a poignant window into the suffering and plight of the hundreds of thousands of refugees displaced from their homes in Darfur. But, it is also the story of refugees everywhere, ripped from their homes and lives due to events beyond their control, and caught in an endless cycle of uncertainty and want. I loved Shane Evans' beautifully spare drawings – perfect for this story.
Tom Clohosy Cole's Wall is a stunning picture book about the Berlin wall, which went up almost overnight and divided the city, as well as families, friends, parents and children. One little boy finds his father trapped on the other side, and is determined to find a way to cross. There is an unexpected ending to this deceptively simple story, the power of which lies in the way the text intersects with brilliant and striking illustrations.

When I first heard that our art activity involved no electricity or anything in that nature, I was super sad. I thought it was going to be super boring and i wouldn't be able to actually do it. At first, it was really hard, my friend and I just kept awkwardly staring at each other hoping something fun would happen… which nothing did at that time. An hour goes by and we find ourselves talking about everything. We got to know each other SOOOO well. I learned things about him that i didn't already know and i felt that made us so much closer. (which is really nice because i like him lol) We went outside for a little bit, laying on the grass (but we got really itchy so had to come inside). We even started drawing, which here is a pic of what i was able to start. !
Living without electricity was very liberating and i feel like my mind was more at ease. If i was by myself i feel like i would have been bored at some points but honestly i would do it again. Obviously it limits you on your activities but it still does not have to be boring. People back before electricity, i feel, could do it, because they had no reason to be doing so. They found other past time activities to do. Social Media, the television, did not effect their lives at that time. My ideal level of life activity would be about 60% whilst my connectivity i would like it to be 40%. I have a high percentage for connectivity because the world is evolving and the great internet is our main means of communication and opportunities. But of course, my life activity would have to be higher because i am a very interactive person.
my living room…
and my messy bedroom lol.

Filling: It is not a charismatic gift, second blessing, or life now free from the battles with indwelling sin, but a description of a believer's growth in progressive sanctification as he submits himself to the Sprit's influence through the Word of God. This filling is demonstrated by a life characterized by spiritual fruit. John 15; Galatians 5; Colossians 3:12-15; Ephesians 5:18
Gifting: The Sprit of God gave gifts to the church as a demonstration of His triumph over Satan, for the edification of the church, for the authentication of the Word of God, and as a sign to the unbelieving Jew that their generation was under Divine judgment and that the Gospel message was for the Gentiles as well as for the Jews. Ephesians 4; Romans 12; I Corinthians 12-14
Tongues: I believe that tongues was a temporary gift that ceased in AD 70. This gift allowed believers to speak in a known language unknown them as a sign to unbelieving Jews that they were a generation under the judgment of God and that the message of the Gospel was for the Gentiles as well as the Jews. I Corinthians 12-14; 14:21; Isaiah 28:9-19; progression of the Gospel message in the book of Acts

My Religious Communicators Council in Indianapolis last week was inspiring.
I have so many new ideas for this blog. I'm thinking of a rebranding strategy. I'm working on outlining it, planning it, and setting some goals. So all you readers out there, be looking for some major changes!
I want to hear from you! What would you like to see from this blog?

The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all it's forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked an upward surge for mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.
Interesting fact, when I go to acting auditions I use the Gordon Gekko address to Teldar Paper to show off my great delivery and passion for acting. I am excited more than most people then (apparently more than everyone as I've not even heard a new Wall Street was in the offering) at the prospect of another giant speech from recovering sex addict (and Welsh woman botherer) Michael Douglas to rant out at an unimpressed table of casting people who were looking for "someone less like you".
Let hope this movie can kick start the economy, and not only save Oliver Stones recent run of poor form, but also my acting career and that other malfunctioning corporation THE USA! (and scene).

Philippians 2:3-4 (HCSB) ~ Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
Monday, June 6, 2011
Multitude Monday
Philippians 4:6 ~ "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
It was not a good week in our household. There were so many things happening that just stirred up my anxieties. My middle son was diagnosed with Lyme's disease and pneumonia. My daughter was also tested for Lyme's after we found a tick in her and we are awaiting the results. We are really struggling financially. I'm in a quandry about a decision I need to make.
Everything that could go wrong, did. It was enough to send me sobbing to my room one day and to keep me lying awake at night and stressing. Yet, this verse in Philippians says we are to present our requests to God - with thanksgiving. Wow! That is hard to do. Yet when we do, our attitude turns around. We pray with expectation that God will work.
So even though this week was a struggle, I am striving to praise God in the midst of the trial. Today I'm thankful for Blessings #441-450
♫ Emily who got right in there with the boys to build the chicken coop.
♫ Talking with my sister on the phone.
♫ Watching my son show self-confidence as he worked with the fire company at the local community days.
♫ Listening to elementary children tell me their stories each day in the breakfast line.
♫ Good natured teasing from friends.
♫ A friend who loaned us their car for the day.
♫ Face painting at the park.
♫ Mint from the garden.
♫ Lots of helpers for a church event.
and finally...
♫ A beautiful sky in the evening.

text: As the lists only Cabrio owner, I guess I have to answer a this and give a bit of info on this model. The Cabrio was released on the European market in the fall of '91, as a 92 model. At the time of release it had only one engine, a 2.3 I-5 with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed Auto box. In 94 the I-5 was replaced with 3 other engines, a 2.0 I-4 and 2.6 & 2.8 V6, all with the two boxes. I am not sure, I believe the 2.8 was Auto only. In 96 the 2.0 was replaced with the 1.8 20V (125 hp) and the 2.6 was dropped. The Cabrio didn't gain the 5V heads of the A4, A6 and A8. The car got a little facelift in 1997, it received the RS2 headlights, and the bumper mounted turnsignal and foglight was rounded at the ends to look similar to the RS2. The production seized in June 2000. The new front end: http://www.kak.net/audi/audicabriolet05s.jpg Compare this with the old lights: http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/AudiJunk/CQ_B4_Euro.JPG and the RS2: http://members.tripod.lycos.nl/AudiJunk/RS2.JPG The look of the US spec is a bit different, it has the same front end as the 80/90 Sedan. The Cabrio never received the quattro drivetrain. If it had, I would've gotten one! Conversions are done though, this is an RS2 Cabrio: http://www.quattrosports.co.uk/casestudies2.asp and http://www.mtm-online.de/S2/pr_audis2.htm Suspension-wise the Cabrio is a bit of a crossbreed. The front end is purely identical to B4 specs, but the rear end is T89. Probably the same as the Coupe rear end. The B4 got a completely new rear axle to allow the rear seat to fold, and to allow an Avant model to be built (the RS2 is one of these) You can see my car at this URL: http://perlindgren.tripod.com/cabrio.html My car is a German spec 1992 2.3 with 5-speed and manual top. Hydraulic tops were available, as were AC systems and Hardtops. Don't know if these were standard equipment on the US market or not.

"Yet the most atypical obsession of those five decades may be that of veteran music publicist and longtime Velvets fan Mark Satlof, who collects original pressings of the album. He owns more than 800 of them – he's actually not sure exactly how many – which are neatly filed on shelves in his study. They account for an estimated 1 percent of all copies manufactured in the U.S. before March 1969. A first mono pressing, still in its shrink wrap? Check. Promo copies — both the version with the yellow label and the much rarer, white-label edition? Natch. The "Close Cut" 1972 edition with an alternate printing of the banana sticker, without the border? Over there. Original U.K., Canadian and New Zealand editions that don't that doesn't even have a banana on the cover? Yup."

It's silly, I know...
So I called her and asked her to watch David for me while I take Katy to meet her preschool teacher and see her classroom. Here's the silly part: it has occurred to me that I'm going to feel self-concious about my hair that morning. I mean, of course it never looks nearly as good as when they style it. And when you go back in for another haircut, it's like you're admitting: "Hey, I know this looks bad. That's why I'm here. Help me out, give me a cut." But when you see your hairdresser in between haircuts, you have no excuse. Supposedly I am satisfied with the way my hair looks today, because I'm not back at the salon, getting a new one. And I can tell you right now that on that Thursday morning at 9am, it's not even going to resemble the way she left it a few weeks ago.
And of course I hope she's good with the kids, too.

Hope the babysitting arrangement works out and OMG, I would probably spend an hour on my hair that day!

That's funny. If it makes you feel better one of the testers that works for me used to be a trainer at Gene Juarez before switching to software and ever since the wedding has been my hair dresser. She sees me every weekday and I guarantee you I almost never have time to do my hair in the morning. So, don't sweat it! ;-)

Seriously, don't worry about your hair any more than you usually do.
My best friend through Elementary School and beyond (we still keep in touch a little today) went to trade school our last two years of high school to be a beautician. She did that for a year, then decided she wanted to go to college to be a teacher. She ended up coming to my college, and we got to hang out a lot again. Anyway, she laughed at how often people were concerned about their hair in front of her. It honestly never bothered me, but we'd been friends since we were 6 years old and I didn't think anything of it even if she did cut/style my hair once a month. She said it never mattered to her that her family/friends/clients had their hair just so in front of her. She didn't focus on that at all.
I tell you this to try to set you at ease. Good luck.

So, a basic vinaigrette is 3 parts oil to 1 part acid (acid: vinegar or citrus), this recipe is 1:1 and also contains honey, otherwise I feel it's much too tart.
Salad: Use what you have on hand, I always seem to have these ingredients in my pantry/refrigerator: mixed greens, green apple, almonds. I also added strips of buffalo crispy chicken that I had baked in the oven.
Salad dressing Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 garlic clove, peeled and minced
Optional-1 tsp chopped jalapeño pepper (use canned for less heat)
Take a whisk and constantly mix as you drizzle the olive oil into the lime juice. Add your aromatics (cilantro and garlic). Can be used right away. This could also be used as a marinade. Dressing should keep for at least a week, store in refrigerator.
Note: Flavors will enhance over time, especially garlic!

Messing around time is over. This is the week that will separate the men from the boys. Am I talking about school? Hell no! I've got a kitchen to prepare for Passover…and if that's not stressful, I can't think of anything that is.
I really shouldn't complain though, because, as any Jewish woman out there will tell you, they are the ones who do the real work. What with all the cooking, keeping the kids out of the kitchen (ah yes, that's our job isn't it?) and well, basically getting on with it…they certainly have their work cut out for them.
We men do our minimal bit and then spend the rest of the time complaining, whereas our wives, mothers etc just do it. I guess it's lucky that men aren't left to prepare the Sedarim (Passover meals) or else there would be matza….along with tinned gefilte fish, and not much else.
So, I suppose I'd better stop writing this and get on with it (groan, moan, groan, moan).
All that you have is your soul (Tracy Chapman).

The deflection of a clamped thin shell spherical cap is evaluated by the finite element method. Elastic material properties are assumed. The ratio of the center height to the base radius of the cap is used to distinguish shallow from deep caps. Comparing the deflection of clamped shallow caps to deep ones resulted in a very interesting behavior which may contradict the intuition of some engineers. For example, the deflection of a shallow clamped cap is considerably larger than that of a sphere or hemisphere with the same radius of curvature. The causes for this behavior are discussed. Results are presented for a wide range of geometries, pressures, and material properties for design purposes.
The definition of cases
Relative displacement as function cap's angle, Cases (a), (b), and (c), p∕E=5×10−7, R∕t=100, and ν=0.3
The displaced shape of a 45deg sphere
Relative displacements of a clamped cap as a function of angle θ for some values of R∕t, p∕E=5×10−7, and ν=0.3
Relative displacements of a clamped cap as a function of angle θ for some values of R∕t, p∕E=5×10−5, and ν=0.3
Relative displacements of a clamped cap as a function of angle θ for some values of p∕E, R∕t=100, and ν=0.3

Light switch shorting
I called Emmons after a light switch had shorted multiple times. Brad was quick to return my call and book a time ASAP to come to our home. When he arrived he was professional and friendly and quickly diagnosed and repaired the issue. He also showed me an issue he found with another breaker and explained how to repair it, saying it was an easy job I could do myself. I appreciated the advice and recommendation to do it myself when he could have made it out to be a bigger issue that only a pro could address. Great service!

After a long day at work or school, we return home tired, but knowing that we have done our best for that day. We may have loved ones or friends waiting at home to encourage us and to bring new life into our spirits. Or perhaps you may even have plans to go out with friends or family to enjoy each other's company. But then something unexpected happens as we reflect on our day or drive to our respective locations. It's an overwhelming feeling that in your life, you are not where you want to be. Its an intoxicating feeling, something that creeps in when we least expect it and if we don't quench it immediately it will continue to spread throughout us. The feeling that says, " this is not my vision, I know that there is something more for me out there". When such sentiments set in, what is our typical response? To be sad? Cynical? To try and let it not have an effect on us? Anxiousness?
The prophet Habakkuk found himself in a similar predicament. He knew that God's vision for the Israelites was that they might live in peace and prosperity. Also, that they would be free from oppression, after years of injustice. But when Habakkuk looked at his reality and the reality of his people, he saw nothing that would enable him to be hopeful or have a positive outlook on things. Habakkuk cried out to God in what is commonly known as " Habakkuk's complaint". He cites examples of where his people are having wrongs committed against them, he cries to the Lord, " How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen?"
Habukkuk's tone and language sure struck a chord with me. So many nights I sat wondering, God how much longer until you show me how you are going to make this dream of mine happen? When will my door be opened so I can see the vision for my life unfold? Here is what God told Habakkuk:
" For the revelation awaits an appointed time…. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay"
Your dream and the vision that you know God has for you will come in his timing. Focus on being faithful and to keep persevering through whatever season you are in. Sometimes we lose site of our objective and began to become consumed with all of the little trials in life.
A wise man once told me to only concern myself with the "What" God wanted me to do, not the "How" it would get done. God also told Habakkuk to take his revelation and write it on stone tablets, so that it would be seen. Sometimes you do have to see it so you can believe it. Whatever your dream or vision is, write it down and put it in a visible space so you can see it everyday. This will condition your faith to believe that it is indeed possible, and that God will make it happen.
This week, remember that your vision does wait for an appointed time. Be hopeful, and take a small step of courage and commit to writing down exactly what you want to happen so that you will see it and remind yourself that it is possible, and its coming soon.
Things to think about:
-My vision will happen in God's timing
-Worry about the What, not the How
-Write down exactly what the vision is so you can see it, everyday.

Mourinho has urged Manchester United to spend £54m on Saul Niguez, Atletico Madrid's player, reports the Daily Star. The report indicates that the player's release clause increased from £34m to £54m, after agreeing to £80,000-a-week contract.
The player had a successful season with Atletico. If Manchester United is willing to splash the cash, then Mourinho stands a great chance of adding the 21-year old player to his squad. The United manager has in the past been criticized for not showing enough interest to the younger players.
However, his great interest in this player and the signing of a new contract by Rashford suggest he might be open to change after all.
It is prudent to assume that the Spanish midfielder is critical to the manager. The player is believed to be at the top of Portuguese manager's list. Time will tell whether the team will listen to the manager or not, and whether Manchester United will be willing to meet the exorbitant release clause.

After a long search the Namibia Training Authority (NTA) has now appointed Jerry Beukes as its new chief executive officer. Beukes is not new to NTA operations, as he has been acting in the capacity of CEO since February 2015.
Otto Shikongo, the chairperson of the NTA board of directors, said Beukes has demonstrated strong leadership and strategic management abilities while acting as CEO.
Beukes holds a Master of Arts Degree from the University of the Western Cape (UWC) and a Master of Business Administration degree from the Management College of Southern Africa (MANCOSA). He has held senior positions in the education and training sector for the past 18 years.
Shikongo said, before joining NTA in 2014 as its chief operations officer Beukes held the position of director for programme development and registration at the then Polytechnic of Namibia, which is now the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST), where his primary responsibilities included leading and managing all programme development activities, as well as registering resultant qualifications on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
The NTA board congratulated Beukes on his appointment and said it looks forward to the organisation and the broader vocational education and training sector benefiting from his proven leadership and management skills.

Vacation in Holland, Michigan
Heading North may seem a little strange at this time of year. After all, it's too early for tulips in bloom, flowering trees, swimming in the lakes, or a good chance of balmy climes. But those were not the deciding factors on this mini vacation. It was scheduled around our daughter's Saturday off work. I threw in a birthday celebration for the children as another good reason to go just now, as we are in between their February and April birthdays.
This is our first Airbnb experience, although we have used sites such as HomeAway or VRBO on previous trips. I found a lovely home in Holland, Michigan, and consider the lodgings excellent for location, price, and charm. The welcoming living room (above) greeted us upon arrival and the kitchen exuded a cheery aura the next morning. A sparkling French press created a strong and bold cup of coffee. We were off to a bright start on this first day of adventure.
One problem we did have (which I communicated to the hosts) was less-than-immaculate furnishings. Dusty cobwebs strung across the light fixtures, dirty mugs in the cupboard, a pile of soiled dishrags under the sink and not a clean one in sight, and rather grubby carpeting on the stairs. Given the fact that it was advertised as "Immaculate" and had reviews praising the cleanliness, I was rather surprised and disappointed.
It may seem that I'm too fussy on the tidiness part but the rest of the family actually took note of some of this as well. How am I to know whether there is any truth in the ads if this is what we get? It was relatively clean but left me feeling like I have to wash before use. Thankfully, we could throw dirty linens in the washer, scrub a few dishes, and try to ignore the twirling cobwebs overhead!
This is what we were searching for
The shores of Lake Michigan
The Big Red Lighthouse
And dazzling, warming rays of sunshine. Jacquelyn soaks it up while her brother Julian laughs at her!
This man makes these family excursions possible, enthusiastically endorsing my dreams and plans when it would be easier and cheaper to stay home. I am delighted to be married to a man who enjoys travel. We both recognize the benefits of these opportunities to shift our perspective for a few days.
The sea brings a sense of solace and serenity on a quiet morning. It never ceases to amaze me...
The guys brought their gear and purchased licenses for a few days of fishing.
Dale is gathering information on whether the fishing is any good on this particular morning.
Jacki and I have acres of ground to cover.
Beach. Sand dunes. Landscapes.
Architecture. Coffee shops. Streetscapes.
We are off on a jaunt of our own while the guys are thus occupied.
Downtown Holland has an attractive, vibrant, and tidy appearance. The city was founded by immigrants from the Netherlands and there is a sense of strength, endurance, and order. We loved it! Now to take a longer voyage across the wide seas and experience the original Holland...we dream on!
Holland is known for its sculptures throughout the downtown, which, in my opinion, add a spirited touch of animation to refresh the soul.
We drove to the Windmill Island Gardens, famous for tulips gardens and an original Dutch windmill, but knew it was too early for flowers in bloom. I did discover one little patch of crocuses, but that was it. What a difference a few weeks will make in this garden.
We had hoped to watch the mill in operation and see the process of flour-making with giant millstones, but it was closed up. We comforted ourselves with the fact that we got to walk the grounds free of charge, there was hardly a human in sight, and it was all a bit too commercialized for us anyway. How is that for making the best of it...when I really would have LOVED to see fields of tulips?
Take the barren with the bountiful and you will have a beautiful day! So much of life is about perspective. Am I living selfishly, trying to grasp all I can to please myself, or do I seek to live day by day in the plan of my Father? It makes all the difference between torment or joy, conflict or peace.

|Gluing the top
Actually, I'm sure it's true. My classmates, Ron and Bruce have made me feel welcome in their class and have done their very best to not laugh when I ask stupid questions. I admire them already.
So far, we've made a few important decisions and have already completed some very important steps in the building process. First, we had to decide what type of guitar we wanted to build, and what type of wood we wanted to use. I had already made the decision that I wanted to build a very traditional, standard flat top guitar, so I chose to build a Dreadnought made with spruce top (red spruce in this case) and East Indian rosewood for the back and sides of the instrument. Guitar players would know this combination as very standard - like a Martin D-28, for example. That's considered by many to be arguably the standard in steel string acoustic guitars over the past 75 years or so. You'll find many bluegrass, country, and even rock and roll guitar players playing a Martin D-28 made from spruce and rosewood.
So the first three classes have involved learning a few important concepts and actually beginning the process of construction. For me, I learned something completely new in the first class. In all the years I've been admiring flat top guitars, I never knew that a flat top is not, in fact, flat - at least not in many cases, the Martin D-28 among them. Instead, the guitar is constructed with the shape of a 25 foot spherical radius. (Man, I love that). What that means is that the top and the back of the instrument are actually arched so that if the plane of the top or back continued, it would create a sphere 25 feet in radius. (Think about that for a second and you'll be able to picture it). So building the internal structure requires not only the skills of a craftsman, but a mathematician, too.
And since the top and back are both constructed of two pieces, they need to be glued together. It sounds like a pretty simple process, but planing the edges so that they join together perfectly takes a sharp plane, a smooth stroke, and lots of patience. But with a little time and many adjustments, I managed to get it done, and both pieces are glued and ready for the next step.
The other step we completed was the building of the internal braces for the top and back. This is an enormously important step, since the bracing is one of the most important factors in building a guitar that will be strong on one hand, while still being light enough to allow the guitar to vibrate freely. And THAT is what makes a great guitar. So I won't bore you with the details of our discussions about the bracing, but suffice it to say we spent quite a bit of time discussing the options and finally settling on a system of bracing that's a bit more modern than a traditional Martin would use, but still based on that basic system.
So the idea is to create two pieces of wood for both the top and bottom that create an "x". (By the way, it's somewhat unusual to use an "x" bracing system for the back, but we decided there were enough advantages to use it). [Editor's Note: In the end, and after much discussion, we decided not to use "x" braces for the back, but the standard "ladder" braces instead. "X" bracing will be used for the top]. Each of the pieces of wood used to construct the "x" braces need to be strong, yet light, so we spent a lot of time shaving the pieces down to eliminate any unnecessary bulk. Each piece is a fairly narrow strip of spruce, so they're strong and light and easy to work with. After cutting them to size, we used a jig on the sander to sand them to the proper radius to allow for what will eventually be a guitar with a 25 foot spherical radius.
Who'd a guessed?

This is last night's sunset at Neck Point, the little tip of Shaw Island where we used to live when the girls were little. I was on the island this past weekend (and away from the internet, in case you were wondering) so that my daughter and I could attend the memorial service for my friend's son (and my daughter's schoolmate), the 20 year old boy who died three weeks ago of an aneurysm.
It was lovely to be back on the island, and lovely to see my daughter (however briefly; she had to leave right after the service to get ready to lead a canoe trip at the camp where she works). And lovely most of all, despite the circumstances, to spend an evening with Teddy's mom; to hear the story of his life and death; to hear how their lives have been going and what her plans are for the future: she's an amazing and admirable woman, now a minister in the Church of Religious Science, and is about to turn her home -- now that her girls are in college -- into a bed and breakfast for people who come to Seattle for treatment for chronic illnesses like Lyme Disease (of which she and her daughter are also sufferers).
I had a lot of alone time while I was away -- Shaw is like that -- and I spent much of it reading Echoing Silence, a compendium of Thomas Merton's thoughts on writing. I am still processing, but what he was writing was absolutely soul-stirring for me: I felt I'd found my soulmate, I received a ton of affirmation for what I've been encountering along the way, and I can see I still have a great deal to learn on this path. So I thought, rather than go into what sometimes feels like preacher mode, I'd just share this quote from Merton today: it explains better than I ever could why it is that writing here means so much to me. Thank you -- by the way -- for continuing to be willing readers.
"Writing is the one thing that gives me access to some real silence and solitude. Also I find that it helps me to pray because, when I pause at my work, I find that the mirror inside me is surprisingly clean and deep and serene and God shines there and is immediately found, without hunting, as if He had come close to me while I was writing, and I had not observed his coming."

It's Hard to Grow Up….Posted: January 20, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Family, ideas, Learning, life, Personal, Politics, random, trump 1 Comment
When I tell my daughter to do something she used to do it. No questions asked, just did it but now, she is a young adult who by her own right tells me, "No." At first, I was a little surprised, and yes, delighted in her new found independence but other times I was so afraid for her. Not afraid that she couldn't achieve the goals she was striving for but afraid that those obstacles and pit falls that had fallen upon me would blind side her in the worst possible way. She knows right from wrong, she knows there are consequences, she respects others and she was brought up well.
I could see vividly in my mind the crying, the tears and I could feel the pain that she would feel from decisions that somehow I felt were not the best. I didn't want her to go through such pain so, I would fight with her and fight till somehow the "new idea" would fade away and she would continue on her way. Another disaster totally missed. I was able to sleep a little better at night but, it never stayed that way for long.
It would happen again, but this time I was reminded that she had to make her own mistakes and she had to find a way if it failed. That no matter how much I wanted to protect her, she needed to go. To go and discover the path that would lead her on her own journey.
Here's the thing….How different is this growing up of a child any different from a new President who seems to fight at every turn? He fights businesses, celebrities, leaders, and well, everyone. Like my daughter, he gets on social media (which I can not stand) and makes comments that are misunderstood, rude, brash, you name it. Though each one has an image of what they want done there might be a point here to make.
The point being, let them grow up.
How Have You Been Changed?…Posted: August 29, 2012 Filed under: Living overseas | Tags: English language, Florida, freshly pressed, German, Germany, Learning, military installation, Military living, random, Recycling, United States 4 Comments
It sounded very exciting to hear that we would be leaving the United States and going to live in Europe. For us the closest we had been to a foreign land was Epcot in Florida. Now we have ventured across the pond to Germany. We were full of questions but one we never considered was, How would it change us?
Here are a few things that we will remember before going back to the States;
1) Never again tell someone in the States to only speak English.
I do not know German. I have only learned a few phrases that have gotten me through the day. I feel so much better when the person I am talking to speaks English. I should learn more German but I find it to be a hard language for me to learn.
2) There is a difference between 110 volts and 220 volts.
Plugging an item into the wrong voltage plug can cause you to spend a lot of money on replacing them. Paying attention to the volts is a lesson one learns very quickly. Especially when it is your computer that you plugged in wrong.
3) Recycling is extremely important.
I have learned the importance of recycling and how it influences the German economy. Everything is recycled and though it is difficult and frankly, a pain in the neck to do, the rewards for doing it outnumber the pain it takes to do it.
4) Learn your History, remember it and respect it.
To live where history has happened is an amazing and a wonderful gift. Everyone should learn the history of where they live. History good or bad keeps us all connected.
So, what do you think are the most important things you have learned by living somewhere else?

Casella Landfill
On my way to Bristol the other day I was following a couple of trucks up 5&20 on their way to Casella Landfill in Flint. I turned onto a side road that goes along the east side of the landfill. I had never driven down there and was curious to see the entire scope of the sprawling landfill. I was surprised to see how large the landfill actually is. I stopped on the side of the road along the back side of the landfill and grabbed a couple photos. This one shows the trucks that I was following up the highway get in line with a seemingly never ending caravan of semi trucks hauling garbage to the top of the growing pile of trash.

NXNE 2017: The Kents23 June 2017 / by Nicole Di Donato (author)
Hailing from Lindsay, Ont., four piece rock band The Kents will be playing at North by Northeast (NXNE) Port Lands music festival on June 25.
The band's debut EP Waking (released in June 2016) explores love, loss, family and the struggles one faces when growing up. A year after their first release, The Kents are already headed back to the studio to record their next EP that sees the band take more artistic risks.
Despite being a new band, The Kents have made their mark, sharing the stage for sold-out shows with The Trews, The Strumbellas, The Elwins and Hollerado.
The band is pumped to be performing at NXNE this year and say that they are most excited to be sharing the bill with Passion Pit and Twin Peaks as well as local bands Lost Cousins and Midday Swin.
"It's a cool range of people we know and bands that we know from afar," said lead singer Warren Frank.
Watch The Kents play live at NXNE this Sunday at 2:20 p.m. on the Canal stage. You can expect to hear some of their new stuff as well as one track off their previous EP.
The interview below aired on Arts & Culture on the Morning Mixtape, hosted by Nicole Di Donato. In the interview, they talked about the band's new sound, their forthcoming EP as well as their show at NXNE.

Overcome Weakness in Your LinkedIn Chain: Invest in Relationships When You Don't `Need To'
And when it comes to LinkedIn, the formula that some follow goes like this:
1. Accumulate as many contacts as possible by sending an impersonal, automated request to Link-In.
2. Proceed to ignore aforementioned contacts for weeks, months or even years. (If you're especially ambitious, write one or two recommendations.)
3. If and when you lose a job, or have a decline in business, send impersonal, mass notes to LinkedIn contacts announcing that you'd appreciate their steering leads your way.
4. When you come up dry on Step 3, complain that LinkedIn is useless.
Referring back to the introductory line--and boiling down these four steps in one word: weak.
If you've read any of my prior social media tips and observations, you know that Inside Edge PR has derived significant benefit from LinkedIn and other social media: new clients, stronger relationships, media coverage, and the development of social-media workshops that have led to more work.
And here's the biggest reason why: I've sought to help as many of my links as possible...without seeking anything in return.
That's not bragging, and that's not charity--it's straight-up common sense about human nature. Think of it this way: when is the best time to buy a car or sell a house?
When you don't need to.
That way, you're not desperate or otherwise painted into a corner. You can take the deal or leave it.
The same principle goes for LinkedIn, Facebook or any other personal or professional transaction, online or offline--the best time to nurture a relationship is when you don't "need to."
The truth be told, if you don't want to do this, for the sheer enjoyment of maintaining and strengthening connections with other human beings, you ought to consult the closest mirror.
Even failing that basic test, you should consider exercising some self-discipline, consistency and long-term thinking. Drop a note to five or 10 people at a time, simply saying "hello" or offering some words of encouragement or insight that will benefit them.
In "The Professional's Platform," one of Seth Godin's recent blog posts, he eloquently makes much the same point. An excerpt:
"We remember what you did when you didn't need us so urgently...It means investing, perhaps overinvesting, in relationships long before it's in your interest to do so."

Are you interested in attaining enlightenment and personal growth?
Try doing the following two yoga exercises daily:
Sodarshan Kriya Yoga
Sat Nam Kriya Yoga
Are you interested in preventing and curing cancer, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure, and many other common diseases using an inexpensive, natural indian spice called turmeric?
Take two teaspoons full of turmeric powder mixed with a cup of warm soy milk (or any kind of non-dairy milk that you'd like). Also eat 2 or 3 black peppercorns along with it, as the pepper helps your body absorb the turmeric better. You also need fat for the turmeric to be absorbed properly, which is why drinking turmeric mixed in water won't work. You have to drink it with milk or some fatty based liquid. Do this twice a day and you will start to feel amazing within a couple of weeks.
Lastly, please read the following two ancient indian scriptures which talk about the divine love of God:
Ananda Vrindavan Campu PDF
Govinda Lilamrta PDF

Herman's Hermits songs will help bring back '50s
Sun., May 9, 2010
It was 1986 when Carolyn Gleason first came up with the idea: A weekend filled with vintage cars and rock 'n' roll music, in celebration of a time when bobbysox, saddle shoes and poodle skirts were the style.
But when organizers first hosted Sandpoint's Lost in the '50s weekend way back when, they were skeptical whether they could attract enough people to make the celebration a success. Time has proven there was no need for concern.
Gleason said the idea stemmed from her desire to bring a bit of Motown and people like Bobby Vinton, Fabian and other music legends from the '50s to this corner of the world that does not typically have the opportunity to see the big names.
"I told people the '50s are not dead. As eras go, some die out and some don't," said Gleason, who vowed to bring in old-school rock 'n' roll. As years passed more and more events were added to the weekend lineup.
But Gleason knew she needed more than just musical entertainment to draw people in. She and a friend came up with the idea of vintage cars. And to make it happen, Gleason went door to door, asking those with vintage cars to bring them to the event.
"We had 26 cars in the first car show," Gleason said. By the third year there were more than 150.
As Lost in the '50s marks its 25th anniversary next weekend, it will host fans from North Idaho, Eastern Washington and across the country.
"We have people from all over including Florida, West Virginia and Manitoba," said Gleason.
The weekend kicks off on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Sandpoint's Panida Theater with the Best of Rock 'N' Roll Heaven starring several impersonators including Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis.
"The person who is the Jerry Lee Lewis impersonator is currently performing on Broadway," said Gleason.
The historic downtown Panida Theater seats 550 people and this kickoff event is always a sellout.
Other musical entertainment this year will feature Herman's Hermits, starring former teen idol Peter Noone, singing songs such as "There's a Kind of Hush," "Mrs. Brown, You've got a Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry the VIII, I Am."
Herman's Hermits will perform at 7:30 Friday evening at the Bonner County Fairgrounds along with Rocky and the Rollers.
"It is a concert and a dance," said Gleason.
But that won't be the only chance next weekend to kick up your heels.
There will be dance and show at the Bonner County Fairgrounds at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, featuring Rocky and the Rollers along with bands such as The Contours, Bowzer and the Stingrays. Tickets are $30 each night or $52 for both shows.
For those who love vintage cars, the traditional car parade will take over the downtown streets on Friday at 6 p.m. Organizers invite all owners of vintage and classic cars who wish to participate in the parade to meet at the Sandpoint High School parking lot no later than 5 p.m. Friday.
After the parade there is a street dance co-sponsored by local radio station 106.7 The Point downtown on Main Street.
And for those car enthusiasts who want a chance to enjoy a closer look at the cars and wander the streets of downtown, there is a car show Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.
The weekend will wrap up with the traditional Aspirin Rally 5K Run starting at Second Avenue Pizza on Sunday at 10 a.m. It will be followed by a car rally at 11:20 a.m. Co-sponsored by Sandpoint's running club the Cardio Junkies, registration is $18, which covers both the run and the rally.
By Sunday morning Gleason and her volunteer crew – most of whom have been with her for more than 20 years – are tired, but it doesn't take long for them to recover and start planning the next year's event.
"What keeps me going are the people and their stories," Gleason said. "They make it all worthwhile."
