Worn by the Presidents children and Hollywood stars alike, Native shoes are making a big splash on the shoe scene with their classic silhouettes, bold colors and environmentally friendly material. Native shoes are made from 100% EVA: this material molds to your feet, is antimicrobial, odor-resistant and extremely comfortable. Some people like to compare Native shoes to Crocs. Maybe we can see that, but Native shoes would be for people with style and taste.

The 2011 Nike MAG
The Nike MAG was perhaps one of the most wanted shoes the Nike fan club never got their chance to get their hands on. It first appeared to our delight in the 1989 movie Back to the Future II by the young actor Michael J. Fox as the character of Marty McFly. Now many years later Michael J. Fox, The Michael J. Fox Foundation and Nike have teamed up to introduce the 2011 Nike MAG shoes to help raise money to find a cure for Parkinson's disease.
The 2011 NIKE MAG shoe was designed to be a precise replica of the original from Back to the Future II. The aesthetic is an exact match, down to the contours of the upper, the glowing LED panel and the electroluminescent NIKE in the strap. The 2011 NIKE MAG illuminates with the pinch of the "ear" of the high top, glowing for five hours per charge. 1500 pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG will be auctioned on eBay with all net proceeds going directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Each day for the duration of the ten-day auction, one hundred and fifty pairs of the 2011 NIKE MAG shoes will be made available via eBay's Fashion Vault. The auction started on September 8 and will end on September 18. You can find more information, view the entertaining videos or just admire the shoes in more detail at the 2011 Nike MAG website.
You can try to win your pair of the 2011 Nike MAG from eBay. Good Luck!
Tommy Hilfiger Penny Loafers
I'll be honest - There isn't really too much coming out from Tommy Hilfiger that has gotten me even remotely interested lately. Maybe it's also do to the fact that it reminds me of middle school when everyone had to have the jean with the stupid Tommy loop on the leg. Remember that? Memories aside, I think these loafers in "Navy" or "Bordeaux" are going to spice up the winter wardrobe with just enough touch of creativity.
Purchase the Tommy Hilfiger Leather Penny Loafer directly from their website: $188.
Clarks Desert Boots
The Clarks Desert Boots is an absolute necessity in any wardrobe. Clarks Desert Boots were inspired by crepe-soled boots worn by British officers in World War II. Crafted from natural materials with supreme comfort, its timeless styling has remained unchanged for over 60 years. You can find the Clarks Desert Boots in an array of colors and patterns - so pick up a couple of pairs.
You can find the Clarks Desert boot from various retailers for $110 but I would suggest picking them up from Amazon for a mere $82.
Puma TT Super CC Sneaker
Are you looking for that competitive edge when it comes to your weekly ping pong tournament? Perhaps you need that extra boost of traction for that intense beer pong extravaganza? Well look no further than the Puma TT Super CC Sneaker. This stylish shoe was designed in Germany in the mid 80's for professional table tennis pros and other indoor gamers. The Puma TT Super CC (say that out loud) features a combination of leather, fabric and suede for totally awesome design that will be greeted warmly into your sneaker rotation.

Mr. Tot is colored with prisma pencils on Bella's Bestest paper (go figure!). I don't remember what manufacturer made the paper, but it was in one of those huge paper packs that I had torn apart last year. I had to make the sentiment on my computer because I had absolutely nothing that would go with this image.
I didn't add glitter, bling or buttons to the card b/c I wanted to keep it 'manly'.
Just a quick post today. I went to our local farmer's market yesterday and bought some yummy veggies and I'm making a Greek cucumber/feta salad tonight for dinner. YUMMY!!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!!

Soldering a SMD to a PC board is not as difficult as it might seem. Follow these steps, and you will have a neat, professional looking job when done.
First, you must identify pin 1. One or more of the following identifies pin 1:
♦ Dot lasered or stamped on the SMD in one corner
♦ Notch on the end
♦ Beveled edge or beveled edge with a groove at pin 1
NOTE: The photographs in this section of the manual are of the original X1W-2 board. While component locations are different and the new board has a more involved layout, the mounting procedure is the same.
Orient U5 (DS2438) on the board with pin 1 towards the end with the notch on the silkscreen.
The tool of choice to do this is a pair of tweezers. If your hands are not that steady (as mine are),
try using a jeweler's screwdriver or toothpick. Fingers are too big, and the chip may have a
tendency to stick to your finger, making placement difficult. The chips are very light and can
easily be moved or catapulted off to who-knows-where. Take your time and be patient.
If you find it difficult to position the chip because it keeps "falling off", you may find it necessary to take some solder-wick and clean the traces on which the SMD sits. During the manufacturing phase that tins the board, the solder may be thick enough that round edges have formed on the edge of the pattern. This is normal. By cleaning the pad with solder wick, it will become flat once again and placement of the part will be much easier.
Warning! - Do NOT use tape (cellophane or otherwise) to help secure the chip to the board during soldering. Many people are not aware of this, but the act of pulling a small piece of tape out of the dispenser generates around 400 to 500 volts of static electricity. Cellophane tape can and will damage the IC. Even though the chip may work, it becomes what is known as the "walking dead". In a year or so, it will mysteriously stop working. Don't take the chance!
|Identify pin 1 and position on the PC board
In the following, be careful NOT to touch the lead from the SMD with the tip of the iron.
With the tip of the iron, heat one of the corner traces where the SMD sits. Carefully feed a
small amount of 0.015 diameter solder to the tip of the iron. Capillary action should cause
the solder to flow along the trace and to the lead of the SMD. Use as little solder as possible.
Remove the iron and allow to cool.
|Solder one of the corner pins to the PC board
If all goes well, the SMD should not have moved and one of the corner leads should now be securely soldered to the board. Using a magnifier, carefully inspect the SMD chip for alignment. This will be your last chance to fix anything easily. If the chip is misaligned or improperly oriented, re-heat the trace (again, NOT the lead) with the iron and slide the chip off the pad. Clean the pad with some solder wick, and begin again.
|Alignment of chip looks good.
Assuming alignment and orientation is good, in like manner, solder the remaining leads of the SMD.
|Solder remaining pins using same capillary action as before.
Stop! If the EMP/rain gauge interface will not be installed on this board, skip to the Board Check section of this page.
Install U2 only if you will be using the EMP/rain gauge interface on THIS board. It is located in the bag with the other EMP/Rain Gauge parts.
|I will be connecting the rain gauge and EMP sensor to this board. If this is not correct, then skip the next step and go on to the Board Check.
|U3 - DS2423. This is a six pin device. U3 is almost in the dead center of the board. Install this SMD in exactly the same manner as U5.
Board Check
Check the soldering with a magnifier for solder-bridges, cold solder joints, and too much solder. If anything looks suspicious, use solder wick to clean the connection, and then re-solder.
When everything looks good, you're done. Congratulations!Next
If you discover that the chip has been installed with the wrong orientation or is the wrong chip altogether, Use some small solder-wick and remove as much solder as possible from both leaded sides of the chip. Avoid using excessive heat. After wicking away most of the solder, you should be able to lift one side of the SMD free from the board by applying heat to the leads and lifting gently. Be careful not to lift the solder pads from the PC board. Repeat for the remaining side.
If you are unable to remove the chip using solder-wick and gentle persuasion, the following procedure can be used. It works well and does not stress the PC board. Note: If the chip has not failed, and is in the wrong place, DO NOT use this procedure. You will have to make the prior procedure work.
|Using a sharp pair of small cutters or something similar, clip the SMD leads as close to the body of the chip as possible. The body of the chip can now be removed easily.
|Use solder-wick to remove the pins and solder from the PC board.

Expectations from the new BCB president
Our Current president has very little time before the board president election takes. But I think he will win the election and continue his tenure. We have seen a lot of big promises from the previous president, Lotus Kamal; most of which didn't see the light. Hopefully the new president will do something which are necessary for our cricket to move forward,
What do we expect from him? Please share your thoughts.
I am pointing out my expectations.
Decentralization of Cricket: Decentralization of cricket has been at the top of the list for ages. I hope Mr. Papon would establish a few localized cricket boards which would have the necessary funds. All these boards will have their own salaried coaches, grounds, ground staffs and salary system for the players. I know I am asking too much to be implemented now. But at least a good start needs to be there.
Bowling Academy: It's better if we can establish a national pace and a spin academy. If that's not possible right at the moment then we need to have at least a single academy for training all kinds of bowlers. The upcoming talents and the national team bowlers all can use this academy. I am sure big corporate names like the cell phone companies, the banks would be interested to sponsor this academy if approached properly by BCB.
A Proper Selection Policy: Right now there is no selection policy at all. The selection is done arbitrarily. This has to change.
Sporting Wickets: Sporting wickets has been the demand since ages. We need sporting wickets all over the country. It's better if we can deploy different kinds of wickets in different parts of the country. Some wickets to be bouncy and fast, some wickets to be slow and spin favored, some to be pure batting paradise. This would give our boys the chance to cope up with different conditions.
And Allah Knows the best

Oxygen ion conducting materials
United States Patent
|February 18, 2003
|View the Complete Patent at the US Patent & Trademark Office
|Argonne National Laboratory - Visit the Technology Development and Commercialization Website
|An oxygen ion conducting ceramic oxide that has applications in industry including fuel cells, oxygen pumps, oxygen sensors, and separation membranes. The material is based on the idea that substituting a dopant into the host perovskite lattice of (La,Sr)MnO.sub.3 that prefers a coordination number lower than 6 will induce oxygen ion vacancies to form in the lattice. Because the oxygen ion conductivity of (La,Sr)MnO.sub.3 is low over a very large temperature range, the material exhibits a high overpotential when used. The inclusion of oxygen vacancies into the lattice by doping the material has been found to maintain the desirable properties of (La,Sr)MnO.sub.3, while significantly decreasing the experimentally observed overpotential.

A dad sets the scene for 'killing' his son in a quad-bike accident which is actually a cruel windup for his unassuming girlfriend.
The video shows Roman Atwood and three-year-old Kane riding around in a red quad bike they want to buy.
But unknown to his mum who arrives to view the four-wheeler, Kane is swapped with a dummy before the bike is seen accelerating off into the distance then exploding into a fireball.
His mum screams in desperation as she takes in what has happened before the penny drops and she gives her partner a few choice words.
The three minute footage, which was uploaded to YouTube by Mr Atwood with the title 'Blowing Up My Kid PRANK!' got 2,863,098 views in just one day after it was uploaded to his YouTube site Roman Atwood pranks.
But some viewers were less than convinced his partner knew nothing about the set-up.
One wrote: "You let her get too close before pulling away. She clearly knew it was a dummy"
Another said: "If he didn't blow it up so soon it would've been more believable."

Mrs Lazarus
by Michael Woods
The wife of Lazarus, the man who was raised form the dead by Jesus, is shocked at the reality of his revival as she has since married someone else.
Mrs Lazarus tells of how she observed a decent period of mourning and followed all the protocols associated with widowhood. Through careful detail Duffy presents a convincing picture of a woman who 'howled, shrieked, clawed / at the burial stones' (lines 3-4) but gradually recovered from the initial shock following bereavement until his 'dwindling' (line14) presence is finally 'gone' (line 21). The repetition of 'going' in stanzas two and three leading to the word 'gone' almost recall an auctioneer's use of the terms where chances may be seized as long as he or she is uttering the word 'going'. Mrs Lazarus feels cheated as she thought the 'last hair on his head' had gone. Unwittingly and ironically she is echoing the promise of Christ as recorded in Luke 21:18 'But a hair of your head shall not perish', telling of the possibility of resurrection for everyone. In Catholic theology everyone who is in a state of grace will be given back their bodies on the last day. Lazarus will be returned to her in totality even though she thought all that remained of him was 'the small zero' of her gold wedding ring.
What makes it harder for Mrs Lazarus is the fact that she has just started to build a new life after her husband is 'legend, language' and 'memory' he is suddenly a concrete reality again. Her sense of being 'healed' (line 27) with time to watch 'the edge of the moon occur to the sky' (line 28) is starkly contrasted with the 'barking dogs' (line 31) and the hullabaloo surrounding her being dragged to see the resurrected Lazarus. He is a 'cuckold' because she has been rendered unfaithful be his coming to life; it would have been better if he had remained dead. This is not a selfish response but the reaction of a woman 'faithful / for as long as it took' (lines 24-5) but who found herself in an impossible predicament. The villagers seem to take delight in her situation as they simply see the event as sensational. The 'sly light /on the blacksmith's face' (lines 32-3) and the 'shrill eyes of the barmaid ' (lines 33-4) emphasises this and the fact that in a small community nothing can be kept secret.
The story of Lazarus occurs in the Gospel of Saint John (11:18, 30, 32, 38). He was raised from the dead after he had been entombed for four days. Duffy uses poetic licence to increase the length of time between his death and revivification in order to make his wife's remarriage more credible. His name, from the Hebrew 'Eleazar' meaning 'God has helped' is heavily ironic in this context since his wife is not helped at all.

I don't think so.
It would be perfect for sex. She would more than likely be in the mood. As for dating, I could get over it. Marriage? Maybe, but I would recommend her not doing it again.
I think it would be a funny date actually lol.

Pregame Notebook: Bruins Recovered and Readyby Caryn Switaj / Boston Bruins
CHICAGO, IL - It's almost game time at the United Center as Blackhawks fans (and the minority of Bruins faithful) filter in for Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final (8:00 p.m. EDT, NBC Sports Network, 98.5 The Sports Hub).
The Bruins are looking to even the series at 1-1 heading back to Boston. They held a 3-1 lead in the third period of Game One, but saw the Hawks tie it up 3-3 and eventually win, 4-3, in triple overtime.
With two days off in between Games One and Two, there should be no carryover effect from the game that spanned over five hours and ended just past midnight in Chicago.
Saturday morning, the Bruins were loose and calm, yet focused, as they were able to put the tough loss in the past.
The Black & Gold all have their varying ways to help relax and recover prior to Game Two.
Tyler Seguin, Brad Marchand and Adam McQuaid decided to unwind with a good, old-fashioned trip to the movies.
"It was nice. I went and saw a comedy movie," smiled Seguin. "I got back to smiling and it got my mind away from it, me and March and Quaider. I think it was those types of days where you really enjoy the rest and you get right back to business."
That business began yesterday with practice, but especially, Saturday morning with the pregame skate. The Bruins know what a difference an even series, versus a 2-0 hole, will make heading back to Boston.
"Of course, that's the goal," said Seguin. "Even before Game One, I think that's the plan when you are in even in the playoffs when you start on away ice. You want to sneak out with one so it is a nice night to do it and I am looking forward to it."
"I thought they played a good game. I think we could have played a better game. Obviously, the score could have went either way, especially when it got into overtime," said Seguin of the first match-up between the B's and Hawks.
"There was chances both sides and one lucky break it was going to be a hard game as well. But, that being said, we know we could be better so we are looking forward to showing it in Game Two."
Over in the Blackhawks' locker room, Seguin's former teammate on EHC Biel during the lockout, Patrick Kane, felt just as recovered as the Bruins.
"I think if it was only one day in between there would be some question to [being fresh], but two days there's really no excuse for that," said Kane. "I think even yesterday some of us were saying we can probably play tonight if need be. I think it's obviously tough playing that long, especially in a game like that, but it was huge win for us. Hopefully we can use that momentum from that game and take it into tonight."
Coach's Take
Bruins Head Coach Claude Julien knows his team,and he knows they've moved on from Game One.
"It was a disappointing loss and, to me, that's the biggest thing we keep coming up with. Our guys the next day were fine. They were fine yesterday. They were fine this morning. It's a new game. It's a series where you got to win four games and, again, I don't think we came in here saying we are going to sweep these guys."
"We knew it was going to be a tough series. We just have to focus on tonight and stop wasting our time worrying about what could have happened last game."
The Bruins will certainly be making adjustments heading into Game Two - but not major ones.
"Little details in games make a big difference. A lot of it is more about little details," said Julien. "It's nothing major and it's things that are easily correctable. We just have to have better focus tonight on those little details and hopefully swing the pendulum our way."
Resilient Bruins
The B's inherit the above trait - to be able to move on quickly from game to game - from their Coach. But they've also had enough experience over the past few years, both in the regular season and playoffs, to know how they have to approach every game as a new 60-minute effort.
"We've been through a lot," Coach Julien said, as he addressed media between Games One and Two. "Again, when you go back to the year we won, we were down 2-0 to Montréal losing our first two games at home. We bounced back from that. We were down 2-0 against Vancouver in the Final and we came back. I don't think much is going to rattle our team. We're a pretty resilient group of guys. We live in the moment."
"You can chalk that down to experience of having been through a lot, the ups and downs. So we don't get rattled anymore. We know what we can do."
"I think playoffs is you need to shake it off, win or lose," said Bruins' alternate captain Patrice Bergeron. "That's something we've always said, be in the moment and what's the task at hand. It's going to be no different in Game Two. Need to put the first game behind you and worry about only that Game Two. It's the most important thing in playoffs. I think we've done a good job of that in the first three rounds. It brought us here, so we've got to keep doing it."
Projected Boston LineupJaromir Jagr was the only Bruin to stay off the ice this morning for the B's pregame skate. It wasn't alarming, though, because it's become a routine for the veteran. He practiced Friday with the team, and likely stayed off to rest.
"He is 100-percent," smirked Julien, before adding after a pause, "He's 41."
With Nathan Horton ready to go and back in the lineup, the Bruins' lines should look the same as Game One.

INX Digital refines JVS Color Compatible Inks
Thursday, March 07, 2013
Press release from the issuing company
San Leandro, CA – Addressing a need for alternative inks in the wide format industry, INX Digital International has reformatted its flagship Triangle® brand JVS color compatible inks. Print operators no longer need to reprofile their printers when using these inks, which are both color and chemically compatible with OEM inks. Now available in the marketplace, they provide a cost-effective solution without sacrificing quality.
"We are very excited about the new JVS inks and so were the franchisees who attended the FASTSIGNS® convention a few weeks ago," said Ken Kisner, INX Digital's Vice President of Business Development and CTO for digital division ink technologies.
"When these inks were originally introduced, they were designed to help Mimaki users who were experiencing color issues with red and yellow. We had developed JVS with a concentration on very bold reds and clean yellows, and sold them in bulk containers. In talking with our customers, we later realized there was an opportunity in the U.S. market to support printers who don't have the capacity to handle bulk ink and reprofiling and want to keep their process as simple as possible."
With a newly formulated color compatible magenta and yellow, printers now have a pair of 440ml cartridges to choose from. They can select the regular CMYK, which uses the original magenta and requires profiling, or opt for the new color compatible magenta and yellow that simply requires an operator to insert the Triangle cartridge and print.
Fast drying with excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, these high quality JVS color compatible inks provide superior performance for vehicle wraps and other wide format work. Bryan Vielhauer, President of Decal Impressions in Cincinnati, was one of the first to use the new formulation and is impressed with the results.
"Since converting to JVS, we couldn't be happier. The transition was seamless and the performance and high color quality is just as good if not better than the OEM inks, and they are far more economical," Vielhauer said.
"My production manager had some initial concerns, mostly due to us running our Mimaki JV3 printer every day of the week. But we have confidence in Triangle brand products and this ink is meeting our expectations."
JVS color compatible inks are backed by the INX Digital worldwide outdoor durability and ink train warranty offered on all Triangle brand ink products. It will be featured at other tradeshow events this year.

If you're on Facebook, you probably know that I adopted a darling kitten on Friday. His name is Lynley for DCI Thomas Lynley in Elizabeth George's series. It's a favorite and I have read every book more than once. Cutie pie, huh?
But this is about what happened after I was on my way home with my new little friend. I went to Greenville in South Carolina, about a 70-90 minute ride from Greenwood where we live. The animal shelter there is wonderful. But I am very unfamiliar with Greenville. I go to the doctor there and that's about it. And I had a doctor's appointment that day and went to the shelter afterward.
The place is on the north side of town and when the mountains of paperwork to "foster to adopt" were done, the crying cat and I were on the way home. Or so I thought. I programmed the GPS for home. In my defense, the sun was very bright and my GPS screen was impossible to see for most of the trip. So I listened to the
So when the machine led me in a different direction (though still west, which was right) I trusted that darn thing. But when I saw a sign for Clemson University, I began to get nervous. Surely this new route didn't take me through the north part of South Carolina! Finally, I pulled over after traveling at least twenty miles, maybe more. I put on the sunglasses and took a good look at the road we were on and it was very unfamiliar. So I decided to reprogram the thing. Maybe there was a glitch--and I had NO IDEA where I was.
And that's when I learned that there are two streets with the same name that include my house number, but in different towns--towns very far apart. My heart sank. Somehow, when I'd tapped "previous destinations" the street in the OTHER town was programmed in and that's the one I chose. How did THAT happen? I have no idea. But the biggest shock was when the GPS "recalculated" and I learned I was 66 miles from home--farther away from home than when I'd started
Needless to say, I made it home with a very sleepy, sweet kitten. My next challenge is to figure out how to delete that wrong address from my GPS. Ever had anything like that happen to you? Or are you far smarter than me?

Do You Love Your Customers?
Seth Godin Asks 'Do You Love Your Customers'?
Seth Godin, best selling author and writer of one of the most popular marketing blogs in the world, has posted (3 February 2014) the following article that applies just as much to the church as to the business that you work for or the institution where you study or serve:
There are two ways people think about this:
- We love our customers because they pay us money. (Inherent here is customers = money = love.)
- We love our customers, and sometimes there's a transaction.
The second is very different indeed from the first.
In the first case, customers are the means to an end, profit. In the second, the organization exists to serve customers, and profit is both an enabler and a possible side effect.
It's easy to argue that without compensation, there can be no service. Taking that to an extreme, though, working to maximize the short-term value of each transaction rarely scales. If you hoard information, for example, today your prospects will simply click and find it somewhere else. If you seek to charge above average prices for below average products, your customers will discover this, and let the world know. In a free market with plenty of information, it's very hard to succeed merely by loving the money your customers pay you.
I think it's fascinating to note that some of the most successful organizations of our time got there by focusing obsessively on service, viewing compensation as an afterthought or a side effect. As marketing gets more and more expensive, it turns out that caring for people is a useful shortcut to trust, which leads to all the other things that a growing organization seeks.
Your customers can tell.

Redesigning Your Bathroom With a Professional Eye
The bathroom begins and ends most people's days. You brush your teeth, shower or take a bath, and make yourself attractive in front of the biggest mirrors in the house. The fact that bathrooms are one of the first things home buyers look at is no surprise. Bathroom design is an indication of how you live your life; not to mention the importance you place on comfort and style in a home. In a bathroom remodel or a new home construction, there are many things to consider when looking at how your bathrooms should look—whether you are designing half-baths in the front of the house, a child's bathroom, or master bathroom.
Whether you are updating a simple, small bathroom or looking to add comfort to the master suite, a bathroom designer is always a great thing to consider. A bathroom designer—also known as an interior decorator or interior designer—who has strong experience with bathroom design will be able to offer options you might not have thought of and will bring a trained eye to create a practical application to your vision.
Some of the Basics in Bathroom Design
Consider this. It's winter and you don't want to get out of bed. Then you start thinking about the radiant flooring in your bathroom warming up beautiful Spanish tile, the towel warming on the rack, the multiple-nozzle shower that'll keep you from squirming to find the hot water. Does it allow you to get out of bed more easily? Maybe. Or perhaps, imagine yourself after work or on that lazy Saturday as you sit in a claw-foot bathtub, surrounded by understated but elegant marble; recessed lighting providing the perfect soft, balanced light for you to read by. Your bathroom should be a palace in itself. Similarly, when talking about a small bathroom or a guest bathroom, the design, while not as elegant for reasons of bathroom remodel cost, should still portray the same image and grace.
Minor Bathroom Remodeling
You can always update that old bathroom design through cheaper methods than a full bathroom redesign. Tub liners and wall systems can do wonder in helping hide your old installations. Often, a simple paint job will make the room feel bigger and cozier. Consider putting some greenery in your bathroom to add oxygen, light, and the look of warmth to a room. If you're looking for a quick fix, perhaps even something you can do yourself, there are plenty of options. If you really want to change the feel of your bathroom, these will only feel like shortcuts and easy outs, whereas a bathroom designer can get you on your way to substantial change.
Major Bathroom Remodeling
An interior designer will help you choose the work you should set your contractor to. This bathroom designer can help you decide what appliances fit best into a room. Like furniture in a living room, bathroom appliances can fit in a room but be too big, making the room smaller than it is. The designer can also help you match fixtures to design and help you choose between paint and wallpaper as well as stone, tile, and other flooring options. Consider a tub with jets, a stereo system, and of course, a fog-free mirror either for your vanity or shower. The options are endless.
Whether you are remodeling or building from scratch, there are many options out there. For this reason, it is often best to hire a professional designer to help you sort through the changes and add that bit of comfort you are looking for. The choices can be overwhelming, but in the end, you will truly appreciate how this important part of your day is forever changed for the best.

We were happy to announce last week that our loans and deposits grew over 50% last year while net income grew almost 500%," Sidhu concluded.
This transaction is expected to close within the first quarter of 2013.

When I was a young girl; I was a tomboy, I loved playing street hockey with the boys. Left defense was my position of choice..but if right wasn't doing it like they should; I would make up for the other player. I was very competitive, I could take hits and give them.. I earned the nick name " Slasher " it still makes me laugh. Now that I am all grown up; I am a very athletic and fit woman; even being in my 40s, having had three children; I could still slash and check now. I love training and sports. But I hate the macho bullshit that goes with sports. All the money that gets funneled into a game; a game that is primarily owned and made into a monopoly by rich greedy men. I know from experience that it promotes a sense of entitlement and sexism to men, that trickles into homes and marriages.. this is the experience I had with my now ex husband.
I found that hockey could be used as an excuse by my husband as the reason not to have to be present with his family; my ex also used work and golf for the exact same reasons. Using work as an excuse not to parent or spend time with me, was a way to take the high road for as master manipulation; after all, how do you fault a man for wanting to supply for his family? Hockey, and or other organized sports were his reward for all of his hard work outside of the home; you see I was being taught in a very sexist way, that he was entitled to his entitlement; that my work in the home or outside of the home wasn't as important as his. I was being told by my husband and by society that if I was a good woman; I would be submissive, I should, we all should , just handle the kids, the home and our own feelings of loneliness.. to martyr our own happiness.. for the sake of his.
I wonder how many other women fake liking hockey to make their men happy? I wonder how many women fake being cool with it when they are seething inside because he puts a game ahead of his wife and kids..? I bet it's like faking an orgasm; because she cannot reach those peaks of pleasure; because he is there only physically but not emotionally. How many women are listening to the hockey game playing in the background having their man right next to them..but feeling a total disconnect; lack of companionship.. being not alone but feeling totally alone?
I cannot count the number of dinners I made for him that he didn't even taste; how many times our then young children did something cute, monumental or amazing.. when he was right there in the house, that he didn't even see. How many women have cooked the dinner; put the kids to bed, washed the dishes.. and fell asleep while he tuned out watching hockey? How many women self pleasured.. because he was downstairs .. in an entire different dimension ( hockey land ) while he should of been making love to her?
How many hockey pools could she gamble on better then him; just by knowing the names of the top players because the hockey announcers voices playing in the back ground drilled the into her subconscious so completely, that she can recite them in her sleep?
I wonder how many women I am writing this for? How many women want to yell this into their man's faces? How many women stuff this down every hockey season..or for every season his next favorite sport plays? How man women feel shut out; that are shut out for a stupid fucking game; a game that over pays players, and that promotes sexual inequality by the over pay and over promotion of male sports over female sports? How many fathers are teaching their sons to treat their wives like emotional baggage when the game comes on? How man fathers are teaching their daughters that a sport means more to them, then family ..then love? But at the same time ..it's up to us as women to speak up; to not stuff it down, to tell him our true feelings.
But to cover all bases ( pun intended ) some women really do love the game as much as their husbands.. if so this post isn't for you.. move on, carry on.
Now fast-forward to my life today; as a divorced, single mom.. the play-offs are playing at his place but not at mine. My weekend with the kids; we watched a movie, made old fashioned popcorn, on the stove, in a pot..and spent family time together.. there isn't any hockey here..and I am so grateful now that the marriage is over.. I will never be put behind a game; work, or any other interest when I meet another. I will speak up right away..and if my needs are not met for equality.. I will walk away..
Tonight my ex is watching hockey with the woman he had an affair with.. and that's just karma.. because now he is ignoring her.

Improvisations are punctuated, buttoned and launched by original compositions and songlike psychedelic episodes, with an emphasis on enviornmental participation. It has been called sonic spelunking – or an all improvised fun time.
Figeater is a time-based, performance process emphasized ensemble vehicle where audience and environment are recognized members of the conFIGuration performing. It is through the combination of these components that the performance takes place.
Figeater appears in a multitude of conFIGurations anchored by individual Performing Units, each featuring Fleenor on clarinet, bass clarinet, voice, electronics & toys.

"Led by clarinetist Beth Fleenor, Figeater make improvised music that ranges from insistently propulsive and buoyant – Fleenor can channel the spirit of Raymond Scott with aplomb – to aloof atmospheres, thugged-up backbeats, and loony, melismatic rants."
– The Stranger
"I don't know if Fleenor would point to chamber music as a direct influence or even a tertiary influence. But I heard Stockhausen, Cage and Reich in the Figeater set."
– City Arts Magazine
"Daringly, {Figeater} was down right pretty, not a term often associated with free improv…while later it was visceral, convulsive and more than a bit creepy…"
– Seattle Weekly
"Clarinetist/composer Beth Fleenor bases her cargo-cult band on the arrival of unhinged, uncorked, unkempt provocations from a small, raucous band of collaborators. Expect some wailin', some keening, and some siren-singing too."
– Earshot Jazz

Tyler Durden | ZeroHedge | March 9th 2014
While the US may be rejoicing its daily stock market all time highs day after day, it may come as a surprise to many that global equity capitalization has hardly performed as impressively compared to its previous records set in mid-2007. In fact, between the last bubble peak, and mid-2013, there has been a $3.86 trillion decline in the value of equities to $53.8 trillion over this six year time period, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Alas, in a world in which there is no longer even hope for growth without massive debt expansion, there is a cost to keeping global equities stable (and US stocks at record highs): that cost is $30 trillion, or nearly double the GDP of the United States, which is by how much global debt has risen over the same period. Specifically, total global debt has exploded by 40% in just 6 short years from 2007 to 2013, from "only" $70 trillion to over $100 trillion as of mid-2013, according to the BIS' just-released quarterly review.
It should come as no surprise to anyone by now, but the only reason why global stocks haven't plummeted since the Lehman collapse is simple: governments have become the final backstop for onboarding risk, with a Central Bank stamp of approval – in other words, the very framework of the fiat system is at stake should global equity levels collapse. The BIS admits as much: "Given the significant expansion in government spending in recent years, governments (including central, state and local governments) have been the largest debt issuers," according to Branimir Gruic, an analyst, and Andreas Schrimpf, an economist at the BIS.
It should also come as no surprise that courtesy of ZIRP and monetization of debt by every central bank, debt has itself become money regardless of duration or maturity (although recent taper tantrums have shown what will happen once rates start rising across the curve again), explaining the mindblowing tsunami of new debt issuance, which will certainly never be repaid, and whose rolling will become impossible once interest rates rise. But of course, under central planning that is not allowed. As Bloomberg reminds us, marketable U.S. government debt outstanding has surged to a record $12 trillion, up from $4.5 trillion at the end of 2007, according to U.S. Treasury data compiled by Bloomberg. Corporate bond sales globally jumped during the period, with issuance totaling more than $21 trillion, Bloomberg data show.
And as we won't tire of pointing out, China's credit expansion over this period is easily the most important, and overlooked one. Which is why with China out of the epic debt issuance picture, and with the Fed tapering, all bets are slowly coming off.
Bloomberg also comments, humorously, as follows: "concerned that high debt loads would cause international investors to avoid their markets, many nations resorted to austerity measures of reduced spending and increased taxes, reining in their economies in the process as they tried to restore the fiscal order they abandoned to fight the worldwide recession." Of course, once gross government corruption and incompetence made all attempts at austerity futile, and with even the austere nations' debt levelscontinuing to breach record highs confirming there was never any actual austerity to begin with, the push to pretend to reign debt in has finally faded, and the entire world is once again engaged – at breakneck speed – in doing what caused the great financial crisis in the first place: the issuance of record amounts of unsustainable debt.
All of the above is known. What may not be known is just who is issuing, and respectively, purchasing, this global debt-funded spending spree, especially in a world in which one's debt is another's asset. Here is the BIS's answer to that question:
Cross-border investments in global debt markets since the crisis
Branimir Grui? and Andreas Schrimpf
Global debt markets have grown to an estimated $100 trillion (in amounts outstanding) in mid-2013 (Graph C, left-hand panel), up from $70 trillion in mid-2007. Growth has been uneven across the main market segments.

Interpreting services under the CJA may be compensated: 1) according to the terms and conditions set forth in the court interpreters services contract, 2) on an hourly rate basis, or 3) on another appropriate basis. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 320.15.10(a)] Interpreters should be compensated consistently throughout the district or, if applicable, in individual court locations. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 320.15.10(b)]
In determining the reasonableness of the rate paid to interpreters under the CJA, courts should utilize either (1) the half- and full-day rates established by the Director for contract court interpreters performing in-court services, or (2) an hourly rate. The half- and full-day rates (prorated hourly) or the hourly overtime rate should be used as a guidepost for the reasonableness of the hourly rate. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 320.15.20(a)]
Justification should be submitted to the presiding judicial officer if compensation is sought for an interpreter by a method different from or in an amount in excess of presumptive or maximum rates adopted by a court. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 320.15.20(b)]
An interpreter being paid under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) may not bill appointed attorneys for services provided to them during the same time period (including the time period covered by a cancellation fee), except through proration of the claims. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 320.15.30(b) and § 320.15.30(d)] "Appointed attorneys" include a federal public or community defender, CJA panel attorney, other attorney or entity authorized to obtain services under the CJA or the Defender Services appropriation, or person proceeding pro se.
Thus, an interpreter billing on an hourly-rate basis may not submit duplicate bills for work performed on more than one CJA representation furnished by an appointed attorney during the same time period. For example, an interpreter traveling to provide services for more than one person under the CJA may not bill the entire travel time on each payment claim. The time may be prorated among the representations or billed entirely to one voucher.
Similarly, if an interpreter is billing based on the rates set forth in the court interpreters' services contract (half- and full-day) and furnishes services during the same half-day for more than one person represented by (an) appointed attorney(s), the entire half-day may not be billed on multiple vouchers. Proration of the claims is permissible but expenses must be invoiced to one representation, so if services were provided for two CJA defendants, the claim for a half-day of compensation could be apportioned on two vouchers (one for each defendant, with a cross-reference to the other case) or billed entirely to one voucher. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 320.15.30(d)]
Note: The Form CJA 21 and Form CJA 31 instructions (items 3-6) provide that time must be prorated if two or more cases are heard or tried together for the person represented.
Regardless of the billing method under the CJA (hourly or half- and full-day), contract court interpreters may not charge any other federal court unit or appointed attorney for any services rendered during the same half- or full-day for which the interpreter is being compensated under the court interpreters' services contract. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 320.15.30(a)]
Proration of time among representations must not result in a service provider billing more time than would have been billed had the service provider assigned all of the time to one voucher. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 310.65.30] Thus, proration could result in time not being billed for each representation for which time was spent in common.
The interpreter must disclose to the court when travel or other work is for a purpose in addition to a CJA representation, so that the court can determine whether the time or expenses should be apportioned and the interpreter compensated for the time or expenses reasonably attributed to the CJA. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 310.65.50] Note: There is no apportionment between a contract court interpreter's work for a court unit and the CJA.
The supporting materials to all vouchers representing time spent in common on more than one CJA representation (or overlap of the half- or full-day billing period, if applicable) must explain the method of billing and indicate the number of other CJA representations involved. The CJA representations should be identified by name or case number only if the work was performed for the appointed attorney who will be certifying the voucher.
When an interpreter is invoicing under the CJA on a half-day rate basis and works on half-day for a court unit and another half-day for a CJA representation, or is invoicing two separate half-days for different CJA representations, then the first half-day should be billed at the half-day rate and the second at the difference between the half-day and full-day rates, unless otherwise negotiated. [Guide, Vol. 7, § 320.15.30(c)]
Interpreters must submit the following information with each voucher: a) the times of day for which services are being billed, and b) the number of other vouchers or claims submitted, or to be submitted, for interpreting services provided on the same date for a CJA representation or for a federal court unit, and times of service applicable to the other vouchers or claims.

Hello again! ......Let's go straight to the main point shall we?
Hmm so a few weeks back while I'm still in Melbourne, my friends and I thought of giving NSHRY (pronounced as 'noshery') a try since that a lot of our friends have been posting good reviews about this place! Furthermore, it's to celebrate that we've finally completed our Year 1 in university! Hooray-yay-yay!
And just so you know, this post is gonna be about food, food, and more food!
'Don't mess with mama! I ain't no size 2!'
The wait was approximately 15 minutes to get everything on the table to be served. However, it's not time to take big, great, juicy bites yet!
One thing for sure is that those who spend time eating out with us will understand there's no such thing as 'let's now eat!' or 'let's start!' even when the food is already served. Without a doubt, all of us will be using our phones - instagram of course. Oh my, people nowadays.... (including me I must say).
Ok, no more bullshiting and let's start introducing these mouth-watering brunch meals!
#1 The Pork Belly Burger.
-The Pork Belly Burger-
I am the one who ordered this and I really, really love it! (Disclaimer: I'm truly sorry if any of you guys who are reading this are restricted to look/eat pork due to your religions, you may skip this part.)
It also comes with a side dish of coleslaw with big chunky fries. To those pork lovers out there, this is a must-ordered dish! Highly recommended.
Personal Ratings: 8.8/10
#2 The Soft Shell Crab Burger.
-The Soft Shell Crab Burger-
It also comes with fries with a side dish of Japanese Seaweed Salad.
Well, I've tried soft shell crab burgers from Hammer & Tong and Top Paddock (will blog about these two brunch places in the future) and I think this one from NSHRY fits perfectly in between. I would still prefer Top Paddock's soft shell mud crab burger - because their soft shell crab has more meat in it. B i a s. Hahahaha!
Overall, this taste good too!
Personal Ratings: 8.2/10
#3 The Umami Burger.
-The Umami Burger-
The patty is beef-based,medium rare, also topped with brown mushroom sauce, caramelised onions, tomato slices and tomato sauce. It also comes with fries, onion kinda coleslaw thingy, and a few little hairy looking pickled (it's cornichons and it's really really good!).
Although this seems to be the most popular dish but it didn't turn out as what we've been expecting.
Personal Ratings: 6.5/10 (this is rather low cause the beef patty was quite disappointing.)
#4 The Pork and Prawn Burger.
This pork and prawn burger comes with fries (as usual) and also a side dish of coleslaw.
It was on the special menu that day.
If any of you prefer something that's not too oily/fattening, then this pork and prawn burger will definitely be a wise choice.
Personal Ratings: 7.8/10
#5 Fish and Chips.
- Fish and Chips -
Last but not least, the fish and chips!
Golden crispy tempura battered flake that comes with mixed salad with sesame seeds, japanese seaweed salad and also tartar sauce with some sprinkles of chilli flakes to add a little flavour into it. Oh and not to forget, there's also a piece of lemon provided!
Personal Ratings: 7.6/10
And then, a group photo of our burgers...and uhm, fish. Haha! Love how our meals look so vibrant! Makes one hungry even just by looking at it.
Just a photo of me by the sea side.
Address: 129A Beaconsfield Parade, Albert Park VIC 3206, Australia (OR take tram 1 that's heading towards South Melbourne Beach and get off at the last stop.)

Hours: 8:00 am - 3:00pm // Tuesdays-Sundays

Oh so Giddy
Who'da thunk a pair of plain stockinette socks would end up being so much trouble?
Apparently this yarn had other ideas of what it wanted to be, because it resisted being knit into plain socks wholeheartedly.
Cider Moon Glacier is a lovely 100% merino sportweight...but the skeins are a little skimpy at 253 yards. I didn't think this was going to be a huge problem because of being able to knit them on US3s. I finished a sock...see happy finished sock:
2/3 of the way through the second sock, I ran out of yarn (seems to be my current theme, considering the Buffalo fiasco). Since getting more yarn wasn't an option (sold out and any new batch with this color, should it appear in the near future at all, wouldn't match), I had to do major surgery to be able to do the last 3" of the foot of the second sock. I cut off both completed ribbed cuffs about an inch into the stockinette leg, finished the foot of the second sock, then reknit shorter cuffs.
Oy vey. I love this yarn, but I'm hesitant to order more since, despite my tendency to like shorter legs, these are barely longer than anklets...and buying 2 skeins just makes it too pricey to justify. Maybe for gift socks for folks with smaller feet...

Since we will publish our annual Book of Lists December 26th, this issue is my last opportunity to write a column for 2005. With this week's edition, we take a look back at a few of the business headlines of 2005, as well as anticipate a few of the important stories likely to unfold in 2006.
Every year is unique and this one was certainly no exception.
Interest rates climbed steadily throughout the year. The economy also grew steadily and predictions are for a strong economy in 2006. Even with interest rates rising the stock market woke up from its long nap during the last half of the year and, again, predictions are for a good market next year.
The housing bubble has just about played out and the steady increases in house prices will likely tone down a bit for 2006.
We know that these good economic times can't last forever but we sure are enjoying them while they're here.
Undoubtedly, Hurricane Katrina won the prize for most significant event in 2005. Our state has been devastated and will require years and years to fully recover from the destruction. Thousands and thousands of our fellow Mississippians are struggling to regain their footing as the storm-ravaged Gulf Coast begins the slow process of regeneration. Our hearts and prayers go out to those who have lost so much.
The controversy over insurance coverage is making a bad situation worse. The hair-splitting over whether the damage was caused by wind or water and in what order the damage occurred has created a really sorry state of affairs. If we've learned anything from Katrina it is that insurance coverage should be comprehensive and pay benefits if the property is destroyed from any cause whatever. I think we're also coming to grips with the importance of adopting and enforcing building codes, particularly in storm-prone areas.
Gov. Haley Barbour easily wins the prize for leadership with his calm, reassuring presence following Katrina. Notwithstanding the age-old question of whether events or personalities produce greatness, Katrina gave Gov. Barbour a platform and he responded to the challenge. I can't think of anyone who could have handled the situation any better.
The unfortunate silver lining to the Katrina dark cloud will be the biggest construction boom since the casino building frenzy of the mid-1990s. It will take years of work to rebuild the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Learning the construction trade and participating in the work offers a ray of hope to many who have lost their jobs and need to begin a new career.
Our state budget was tight already and Katrina dealt our state's finances a crushing blow. Municipalities in the coastal area have continuing costs to maintain basic services during a time when their tax base has been wiped out. At the state level, gaming taxes brought in about $350-million a year and that industry is largely out of commission for some time to come. We'll get by, but times are going to be tough for awhile.
Ah, it's the Christmas season once again. In spite of the problems we're facing it's time to experience the magic of Christmas. Everywhere, houses and offices are decorated and everyone is in a festive mood. And that's as it should be. For even though tragedy has visited our state, God's plan for our salvation is steadily unfolding. It is only right that we pause amongst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
In the spirit of Christmas this year, the Mississippi Business Journal dispensed with the annual hams for employees program and adopted a needy family. Each department took a family member and we bought presents for them instead of spending money on ourselves. Though this is our first year to adopt a family I think it's safe to say that a tradition has been started that will likely continue for years to come.
Many of us will be winding down work in the next few days. Then it will be holiday traveling for some, staying close to home for others, and deer hunting for those of us who aren't happy unless we're wet and cold. Nonetheless, we'll back the first of the year and begin anew for another year.
To me, Christmas and Easter are the two most important dates on the calendar. Both remind us of what is really important in life and help us rise above the trivial problems that plague our everyday lives. To all of our readers, we hope for you and yours the happiest of holidays and, as politically incorrect as it might be, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Thought for the Moment

This blog actually pushed me out of my comfort zone and I made my first baked whole chicken. Pulling the guts out and all. It wasn't until I started shopping at Whole Foods that I discovered whole chickens with the dirty work already done. Granted, there is still the rinsing of the bird and a few stray feathers to pluck but I don't have to stick my hand up in the cavity of the bird.
Santa brought me a 6 qt Crock Pot for Christmas, my first!, and the first recipe I came across was for this Crock Pot Whole Baked Chicken. The stars had aligned. Whole chickens were on sale at Whole Foods, this Crock Pot came into my life, and then I stumble on this recipe. Let me tell you... This recipe is EASY! The meat was falling off the bone. As of now, this is my go to method for cooking a whole chicken. I'm not intimidated anymore and I get what I want... a house filled with the aroma of baked chicken and it tastes so much better homemade. I paired the chicken with broccoli and brown rice. Yummy!!!
- 1 whole chicken (2-4 lbs)
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder

When looking at the Tree of Life (TOL), one sees the 10 spheres, which represent the ten aspects of God as translated into human personality, and the 22 paths that connect the spheres. However, the idea of pathworking, or pathwalking, is not often talked about, except in books especially written on the subject (for example, books by Will Parfitt and – my personal favorite – Gareth Knight).
[An interesting graphic novel series, the Promethea series, has a couple of volumes that deal with the TOL and other, relevant magical topics. It's a vividly depicted, entertaining read if you're into that artform]
I prefer the term pathwalking to pathworking, since pathwork is often used to describe the work of John and Eve Pierrakos (which is also known as Core Energetics). Besides, pathwalking implies a pilgrimage of some sort, which is what this form of inner exploration is akin to. In this practice, we take a pilgrimage into our own personalities – and even reach out to that boundary between god and human.
Depending on the path to be walked, particular symbols, colors, and aspects of personality are used to awaken the relevant forces in the subconscious. Each path also has a Tarot card of the Major Arcana associated with it. This card provides the key that unlocks the path to be walked.
The journey begins in one of the two spheres connected by the path (the paths are two-way streets, so either sphere can be the starting point). By carefully envisioning the appropriate symbols, the pilgrim walks the path to the other sphere, gaining insight, wisdom, and sometimes surprising experiences.
It is important to remember that everything one experiences during this process is already within the psyche. There's nothing there that isn't ultimately under the pilgrim's control. I say that because, along the way, the pilgrim may experience the negative side of the path, as well as the positive. Remember, the TOL is made of polar opposites as well as complementary forces. Therefore, there can be the occasional Qliphothic encounter. It's nothing to be afraid of, but it can be challenging when it happens.
BTW, I intend to do a guided visualization series based on the paths. This format is a nice way to go when pathwalking, as the symbols can be laid out in the visualization. This makes memorization less of a chore. Stay tuned, though, because right now it's only one of many things bouncing around my tortured brain.
See you on the paths.

Blake Lively admits her dog is like her child.
The 'Gossip Girl' star – who is married to Ryan Reynolds – wishes she has kids of her own and in the mean time devotes herself to her beloved pooch Penny and her nephews and nieces.
She said: "My dog is half surrogate child and half the boss. Penny is so sassy and she's packing so much personality. She has the power to very quickly make my world revolve around her. But my nieces and nephews are also surrogate children. I'm just upset that they aren't my own."
Blake, 25, also revealed how she plays the protective auntie when she's out with children as she wants them to have a normal life as possible.
She said: "I want the kids in my family to experience normality so, when I'm out and about with them, I try to protect them from the attention I get. If someone comes up to me and asks for a picture, I'll tell the children that I make really great cupcakes and that's why they've heard about me."

In anticipation of Mother's Day, I was thinking back to the cards and crafts I made for my mom as a kid and was really excited about making her another one - a better one - because what mom doesn't love homemade gifts from their children... even if that child is 27! This card is really quite simple and was made with a bunch of scraps I had left over from the Close to My Heart Skylark Workshop on the Go Kit. I really love the use of teal colours that come in this kit.
Let me know what you think in the comments below, I would love to hear from you! Enjoy the rest of your (hopefully) beautiful day!!

This past weekend over 700 people gathered in Providence, Rhode Island for Better World by Design. In its ninth year, the conference held between adjacent college campuses Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University, brings creators, innovators and professionals of all types together for a three day long gathering to examine and promote the importance of critical design thinking. Based on the theme of Interplay, the conference was broken into three categories: Micro, Meso and Macro. Each day examined the social and physical scale at which interplay is occurring. Through thirty-five presentations, conference attendees critically analyzed design's interdisciplinary power and gained greater understanding of how to truly strive towards creating a better world.
While the official themes were Micro, Meso and Macro, presentations also seemed to fall into one of three categories: biological design, design's role in policy and envisioning technological futures. From learning about cybernetics in an inflatable pavilion to hearing a woman talk about how she grew cheese from foot bacteria, envisioning design applications to urban infrastructure and healthcare, the workshops and lectures were as entertaining and engaging as they were informative and thought provoking. Thanks for an amazing conference Better World, see you next year for conference number ten.

I was unusually lucky to get to spend many days of my childhood in a small-town beer joint. My maternal grandparents, Francis and Alma Petersen, were the owners and proprietors, the bartender and the cook, the rule enforcer and the wise comforter of Petersen's Cafe. If not the heart of Danish American life in Alden, MN, "the restaurant," as we relatives so grandly called it, served, at least, as its huffing lungs. The extended family gathered there on Sundays and holidays, and my family lived upstairs with Grandpa and Grandma and Uncle Kenny for several months while my dad was on strike from his packinghouse job. I learned by watching and listening how a community enfolds the people who huddle at its margins: the mentally ill, the alcoholic, the lonely, the no longer useful, the disowned, the displaced, the abused and their troubled abusers. I got to know enough eccentrics to welcome the spice they add to a life that may look dreary and dull to outsiders. I was only eight when Grandpa Frankie's weakening heart compelled them to sell the place and move into retirement in Albert Lea. (He lived another twenty years!) Yet I remember names and faces and incidents as vividly as only a curious child newly attentive to the world around can.
I have resolved to write some of these memories, first adhering to the limits of memory and including the misunderstandings and false assumptions created by childhood innocence and the long passage of time. Only after I have plumbed my memory will I turn to the historical record to see what I can find there to supplement, challenge, or affirm my memory. I don't expect this project to become a book, so I will, I think, be content to blog the bits of it here from time to time. I figure I don't have the life expectancy to undertake a lengthy research project like those my books have required.
Of course I have had to ask myself why I think my fragile recollections of the years 1945 to 1953 in a long since razed and forgotten beer joint/cafe are worthy of literary attention. Here are my answers:
–Because it was a treasured time of childhood, innocent but with an undercurrent of human suffering.
–Because people of little note deserve their dignity as much as the famous do.
–Because I was so fortunate to know eccentricity up close and to see how it is absorbed into a community.
–Because I have not done justice to my mom's family and my Danish heritage.
–Because so much has been lost and laid flat by commercialism and suburbanization.
–Because Petersen's Cafe is full of stories.
(P.S. There will be photos if I can get my scanner to work again. Here is one, of Christmas at the restaurant. I'm on the left, age 2.)
