Diane Ravitch, has a long history of working within various educational systems. She has a doctorate in history from Columbia University's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, along with an impressive curriculum vitae. She has been quite active since earning it in 1975. Her focus was on history and education history.
She started out championing charter schools, choice, and got behind NCLB. She's changed her mind. Her words: "In short, accountability turned into a nightmare for American schools, producing graduates who were drilled regularly on the basic skills but were often ignorant about almost everything else."
She can document all that she has done. It's there for anyone to look up and verify. That's as it should be.
She will be addressing teachers, hundreds according to an article in the Sacramento Bee written by Melody Gutierrez, on Jan. 20 at the Sacramento Convention Center. The host for the event is the Sacramento City Teachers Association. Her goal, according to the article, is "to give public school teachers some backup."
Ravitch is critical of the reform measures that Michelle Rhee and her StudentsFirst advocacy. The Eduskeptic has written a few times about Rhee and her lack of experience in the public school system, and the inability to find anything to substantiate her claims of being anything other than an average rookie teacher.
In short, she spent 3 years as a classroom teacher before quitting to go into the corporate world. Her claims of greatness in the classroom are not supported by any documentation the Eduskeptic has been able to find. There isn't any. Her tenure as the chancellor (superintendent) of the Washington D.C. school system was, by any standard, a disaster.
Ravitch is right to be skeptical of Rhee and her idea of reforms. To have someone like Ravitch land in Sacramento to address the actual, real, verifiable history of the entire testing mess, should prove to be a good counterpoint to those who take a slash and burn approach to teachers, teachers associations, and students.
If you can make it to Ravitch's presentation, do. It should be an interesting day.
It is important to look up and research all of this yourself. The Eduskeptic did, long ago. Nothing has come up since then to alter his opinion.
As always, assume nothing, verify everything.

The success of Milo and Ben Shapiro. Also, the inexplicable Twitter popularity of "Comfortably Smug."Ellie wrote: ↑11 Apr 2018, 09:48I do think, from where I'm standing, that a conservative can build "cred" by deliberately triggering liberals, and do that more successfully than a liberal triggering conservatives. And I think it boils down to the essential way both sides see each other. Conservatives think liberals are too sensitive and they want policies based on feeeeeeelings instead of cold hard facts. Liberals think conservatives are unfeeling monsters and they want policies based on greed rather than compassion. So a conservative can vindicate his team's view by deliberately triggering liberals and then saying, "See, look how oversensitive they are, they'll get upset about anything!" Whereas it doesn't reinforce anything on the liberal side to make conservatives feel hurt.
I do think there are plenty of examples where both liberals and conservatives use equally inflammatory language about each other or try to poke each other with sticks in equal amounts. But the sort of "make a name for yourself within your own team by pissing off the other side" fuels more conservative careers than liberal ones. Liberal careers built on pissing conservatives off are more about the whole "she bravely speaks truth to power and the machine doesn't like her honesty!" rather than anything "triggering."
I have absolutely no links to back this up and this is all just my gut feeling.
Also, there's something to be said about the continued support for Ben Domenech, despite multiple plagiarism scandals and the Malaysian government payment stuff, which would have taken down pretty much any respectable left of center writer of similar stature.

Uncover Food and Chemical Sensitivities With the Food Allergy and Food Sensitivity Testing
The Food Allergy and Food Sensitivity Testing may help uncover which foods and other substances trigger chronic inflammation and its related health issues such as gastrointestinal, metabolic disorders, and others.
The Food Allergy and Food Sensitivity Testing measures cellular reactions to over 450 substances.
Medical studies using the Food Allergy and Food Sensitivity Testing to guide diet have shown significant improvement of many common symptoms.
To date, the Food Allergy and Food Sensitivity Testing has helped over half a million people change their health.
Associated Conditions
Symptoms such as migraines, aching joints, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders, and others have been linked to food sensitivity and chronic inflammation. The Food Allergy and Food Sensitivity Testing is designed to assess sensitivities to over 450 food, chemical, and environmental substances. These sensitivities are shown to be associated with both acute and chronic conditions.
- Gastrointestinal disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), indigestion, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, bloating, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's Disease.
- Metabolic disorders such as obesity, Type II diabetes, and the inabilitiy to lose weight.
- Inflammatory conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, asthma, and autoimmune disorders.
- Others such as fatigue, headache, migraine, and cognitive impairment.
Sensitivity vs. Allergy
An allergy is a reaction that triggers the release of antibodies that results in immediate symptom onset. A true food allergy causes an immune response that can affect multiple organs and in some cases be severe or even life threatening. Food sensitivity symptoms are delayed and are typically limited to digestive problems, but can lead to chronic inflammatory health issues.

It's been quite a while since we started wondering what color this stork's little bundle would be. For those of you who wait until the end, how do you do it? There's a part of me that would love a delivery day surprise, but with a family comprised of one gender the suspense was just to great over whether we'd be getting another little boy or- could it be?- a girl.
As of yesterday, the wait is over!
Are you ready?!
Hold on…the blue needs a little sharpening…
Ok, blue, are you ready?
Oh. Um, I'm not sure how to break it to you this time, blue. But…
We may not be needing you after all.
It's a GIRL!

I've really enjoyed this course, I've been looking to do some character creation & this was a great introduction!
My mood board - created in Pinterest, I just searched for facial expressions & some pastel colours, as I was looking to create a soft palette.
I used the hearts/beads image from above to make my colour palette.
I didn't take an process shots during the creation of my character, I just built her along with the course! This is her on her own:
This is her on her background, with her quote. I got this by again searching through Pinterest & grabbing something I liked, & was small enough to go on the image.
I used a mockup I have in Illustrator to place my design on to an iphone case, I had to go back & shrink the text & cloud to make it fit in nicely.
I am quite pleased with her! Looking forward to making some more little guys :)

Welcome to the forum, Liam. Lot's of seasoned veterans here who can hep with your needs. Cheers.
Quote from: Baby Farts on May 27, 2012, 03:14:42 PMWelcome to the forum, Liam. Lot's of seasoned veterans here who can hep with your needs. Cheers. Uggg...."Lots not Lot's." I should have said, "There are a lot of seasoned veterans." Don't you hate it when you catch yourself at your own typos and it's too late to edit? Sigh....Perhaps admin might change it for me.
I'm not prissy about race, colour or creed and I have my own views. However, having looked at that website, I have to say that it is not something with which I would want to be associated
Hi Liam,I noticed that you are have a link in your profile to the Storm Front. Is that a joke or are you honestly member of such a white supremacist organization? Does Korat Fart really want links from its site to such websites? I am surprised that no one else noticed.
My membership to that particular internet forum in question may not be some thing people here can tolerate , and I respect that , every one should have the right to freedom of speech and I strongly feel I have the right to stand up and be counted . I have many times physically and verbally fought for this view. If I have in any way offended any one here , I humbly apologies and it was not my intent to do so.
I can tolerate it but history shows that racist organisations aren't as tolerant as I am. I'm sorry that you have felt the need to support your views physically.Some of these organisations promote a creed that seems acceptable but just below the surface is rank intolerance and hatred of people who are born different from the membership. 'White' is OK but 'supremacy' is not.I once studied the website of a political organisation in the UK that is labelled, by mild people, as 'right wing'. Some of the parliamentary reforms that were suggested were interesting and not at all racist. I called the local organiser to see what he might say and was treated to an unsolicited monologue of irrational hatred against blacks, Jews, Asians, East Europeans and Muslims. Everyone in those groups was classes by that person as inferior and goodness knows what he would have done with them if his party came to power.Rational views are worthy of discussion but the suggestion that someone is superior only because of the colour of his skin is utter nonsense. If some white people feel hard done by, then surely their issue is one of equality, not supremacy.I would add that there are some white foreigners here who regard themselves as better than the locals. Whatever one's personal views, I would suggest that it's not a good idea to treat Thai people as inferior, especially in their own country. Thailand is regarded by some as a racist country. If that is so, a white supremacist who comes to live here might soon learn how it feels to have the shoe on the other foot.
A very interesting image is being built up! You're wise not to dress like that in Korat!
Uggg...."Lots not Lot's." I should have said, "There are a lot of seasoned veterans." Don't you hate it when you catch yourself at your own typos and it's too late to edit? Sigh....Perhaps admin might change it for me. Sorry BF, couldn't spot anything that can be taken as a typo. Some people just have "lots to bear". And some name those lots, not that there were lots only, etc. And hep is defined by Wikipedia: "Head end power, a method for providing electricity to train carriages" or "High Explosive Plastic general purpose ammunition" or even refer to "The Hep-Hep riots - a series of antisemitic riots in Germany and neighbouring countries in 1819." See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot_in_popular_cultureand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_mask
Some times I just cannot resist the impulse to throw caution to the wind and let my inner urges take over
Thanks for the welcome , thaiga I spent most of my working life in Leicester ( H.M. Prison Service ) and managed to get early retirement on health grounds , I first came to Thailand on holiday 10 years ago and that changed things for ever .
Where were you living in Leicester? I lived there for a few years and loved the town. Perhaps it's changed in the last few years.
Where in Wigston? That's where I lived.Somewhere in the County is a prison that I recall was special in some way. Out in the sticks. You can see it from the road but it's out in the fields. I knew the lady Governor for a while. Lovely lady but I bet she was well on top of the job.

Effects of Gender Inequality in Education
Education is the key to success in one's lifetime. It is considered as the most valuable possession for mankind in the today's world. It is also the most important tool for human development. Regardless of where one comes from, education is a universal human right as it presents many opportunities in life. One issue that has made it had for many people to access education is gender inequality. Evidently, like in any other areas, gender discrimination is both formal and informal. In some cases, it does affect both men and women depending on place of origin.
Gender inequality in education exists in almost every underdeveloped country and among those languishing in poverty. From a report presented by the World Bank in 2001, there has been a considerable increase in gender disparity in education in the low income countries over the last three eras. Inequality in the education sector starts from the word "go" as some people fail to access even the least education services that can be offered in a learning institution. Hence, many people fighting for equality in the education have never left any stone unturned for better and educated societies in the future.
There are different ways through which gender inequality has been practiced. For instance, there have been disparities on how boys and girls have to access school or university. Primarily schooling became a universal right from 1877, but girls' secondary school opened 15 years later after boys' school. Women were allowed to attend university is they make it through secondary school, but there are areas that prohibit boys from attending universities. Educating girl child has been seen by many 19th century parents as waste time and money. Daughters were to marry, raise children and keep houses. Today, the number of girls graduating with degrees is high than that of men.
In the early 20th century, girls were limited to undertaking areas that include motherhood like sex education, health, hygiene and domestic skills. For boys, they had to pursue those areas that would help take care of their families socially and economically. The move a parent or government made on education had effect on the society and the nation in general. For instance, lack of education meant that there will be disparities in income among men and women. Those who were undertaking taxing jobs were to be paid more than the rest of the group and this led to discrimination of women as they were seen as the minority jobwise.
Uneducated women were discriminated in the society and at workplace as they were seen as passive, less assertive and quite due to the impact of hidden skills and curriculum. Education inequality also affected economic growth of a nation. Women are seen to be more productive than men in regard to the many chores that they undertake on daily basis. Hence, if this group is despised, it means that there will be less labor force and less output is expected.
By promoting equality in education, it means that a nation is encouraging economic growth and promoting important development goals that entail lower child mortality and low fertility. By giving every individual an opportunity to learn, inequality will be a long gone vice. Men are the promoters of inequality in the society, but if there educated or re-educated, both socially and professionally, it will be easy to improve productivity, economic and our living standards.

Through the 1970s, and with a couple of revivals in the 2000s, the BBC ran a series of annual programmes known by the umbrella title The Ghost Story for Christmas. These were mostly directed by Lawrence Gordon Clark, and mostly adapted from the work of M.R.James. These productions draw on aspects of season and identity in a number of ways, which will be explored in this talk, with a particular consideration being given to the role of landscape and nature in the productions.
Derek Johnston is Lecturer in Broadcast Literacy at Queen's University, Belfast. His research largely examines the history of broadcasting, particularly in the UK and particularly of science fiction and horror programming. Most recently he has been examining seasonal broadcasting, with his monograph Haunted Seasons: Television Ghost Stories for Christmas and Horror for Halloween (Palgrave, 2015) focuses on the ways that the timing of horror broadcasts connect to different cultural practices and expectations. He is currently editing a special issue of the Journal of Popular Television on seasonal television, as well as a follow-up dossier for the same journal.

It's not just fiscal deficit numbers this government is discredited on at the moment. Their treatment of the 2007 Chalk River shutdown versus their treatment of the present day shutdown is totally diametric, as editorialized on by the Star today: "Isotope scramble: tale of two crises." Their handling of the Chalk River challenge calls into stark question whether they know what they're doing and what we can believe from this government.
How can it be that a three week shutdown in December of 2007 was cause to fire the nuclear regulator, who simply wanted to ensure laws were followed and that the licence conditions would be adhered to as the shutdown was managed. How can that shutdown have been cause for the Prime Minister to rail on about the health and safety of thousands of Canadians being placed in jeopardy if the reactor weren't restarted, pronto ("...what we do know is that the continuing actions of the Liberal-appointed Nuclear Safety Commission will jeopardize the health and safety and lives of tens of thousands of Canadians.") Yet now, faced with a three month shutdown, there's not a problem in sight for the Conservative folk. It's blue skies all around. In fact, the Health Minister said this yesterday on the question of the supply of medical isotopes:
Meanwhile, federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq downplayed the seriousness of the looming shortage of medical isotopes sparked by the shutdown. "It's not a crisis. There are many tests that can be completed using other options."It's just mind boggling.
Why limit ourselves to the either/or proposition? It's probably both, isn't it?
The health minister can talk to hospitals about prioritizing tests, but that is no comfort to a patient with heart disease or a woman waiting to find out if her breast cancer has spread.
Stephen Harper's Conservative government is either dramatically underplaying the current medical isotope crisis or wildly overplayed the last one.
Here's the kicker in terms of accountability for the Harper gang:
It's not a debatable policy issue we're dealing with here where legitimate choices could be made out of a range of options and we're dissatisfied with what they did do. Here we're talking about a supply of needed medical isotopes that's at stake. That they had fair warning was a problem and yet did apparently nothing about post 2007 crisis.
After the 2007 crisis, the government also appointed a panel of health specialists to study the matter and recommend ways to avoid a reoccurrence. The so-called "lessons learned" panel advised the government a year ago that it should "diversify generator supply sources, preferably within Canada." Specifically, it said that research reactors on university campuses across the country could be adapted to produce medical isotopes.
No apparent action was taken on that recommendation until yesterday, when the government announced funding for McMaster University to upgrade its research reactor to produce medical isotopes.(emphasis added)
This is practical government competence 101 stuff that they're failing.
Update (Sunday 10:00 p.m.): CanPolitico points out that the McMaster facility that is now being funded as of Friday in order to boost production of medical isotopes presently creates 60,000 per year. Versus the Chalk River facility that produces 20 million isotope treatments per year. In case there's any doubt about the makeshift nature of the above referenced announcement.

So running a corporation is a lot of hard work that I just don't have the time for. I started a full-time job in February and it's difficult to choose playing a lot of EVE over taking a nap. That makes me a sleepy CEO :P so I quit the corp and found another one to join with a few friends. We've been doing level 3 and level 4 missions and there has been a lot of cash coming in just from the bounties. Not to mention that we have dedicated salvagers and miners as alt accounts and we can easily make 20mil per mission.
I tried to do an Incursion with my friend and we got wiped out in under 10 seconds. We lost our most expensive ships, and I lost my Myrmidon. I think I've spent 70-80 million ISKs replacing it. I forgot how pricey T2 drones are, I haven't had to replace them in a long time, they're just so heavy with with armor!
Today we're going to do some more missioning and mining and I'm going to get to Stacmon and sell whatever resources my planet operations are producing. That would be Oxygen and Mechanical Parts and both of those sell for a lot of money. Oxygen is being bought at around 175 ISK and I have over 16,000 units of it. That's over 2 million ISKs, I just have to launch it from the planet, grab it and then haul it to a station and sell it.

The real beauty of all inclusive is especially relevant if you are a group - just think no splitting bills and playing around with notes at meal tables. More to the point you don`t need to chase up kitty money and pin down that elusive group member that never seems to buy his round!
Just have a look here to see how the all inclusive model compares to the standard ski package:

In their toughest match of the season so far Vectis progressed to the Hampshire Cup semi-finals following a titanic struggle against Winchester.
Despite the importance of the fixture a rusty Vectis side struggled in the first half, standing off tackles and spilling what little ball they did manage to win. They allowed the Winchester half backs to control the game, which they did very well with clever kicks and sniping runs tying the Vectis defence down. On too many occasions Winchester were first to the breakdown to secure their ball or turn over Vectis possession.
Given the visitor's dominance it was a surprise that Vectis kept in touch on the scoreboard thanks to individual efforts from man of the match Rory Taylor, and Jesse Butchers. At half time Vectis were somehow only one score behind despite the amount of possession that Winchester had.
The half time team talk galvanised the Vectis forwards who were unrecognisable from the first half. They started winning a regular supply of ball and strong carrying from them put Winchester on the back foot and took control away from their half backs.Felix Methold and Emile Bleriot began to take control of the game. The pressure told and a try from Johnnie Graham after good work by the pack started the revival. Further tries from Jesse Butchers and Rory Taylor put Vectis in the lead.
To their credit Winchester did not give in and with very little time on the clock scored an equalising try to bring the scores to 30-30. The full time whistle blew with the teams deadlocked, meaning 5 minutes of extra time for two very tired teams. Vectis got on top in extra time and a try from short range by Emile Bleriot, after good approach work, put them ahead 35-30. With the final whistle imminent Vectis gave away several silly penalties allowing Winchester to get the ball deep into the Vectis half. Frantic attacking was met with committed defence and with Winchester inches away from the Vectis line the ball was stolen and booted into touch, ending a very intense and tight match and ensuring Vectis go into the semi-finals.
Both teams played very well and provided entertaining rugby for the excited crowd. In the end the game was won by the extra commitment of each and every player in the Vectis side and by the strike running of Rory and Jesse. Onto the semi finals!!
This was the last game for Will Howard who is on his way to the USA, and this was a fitting send off for him.

Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Chairman Issues Statement on His Defeat for NCAI Presidency
Published October 21, 2017
EAGLE BUTTE, SOUTH DAKOTA – Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Chairman Harold Frazier came in third of a three-person race for the presidency of the National Congress of American Indians. Frazier announced candidacy to to lead the nation's largest and oldest organization on September 22, 2017.
After the first round of voting at the NCAI's 74th Annual Convention and Marketplace in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Fraizer was knocked out the race because of he came in third. The first round votes were: Quaninalt Tribe President Fawn Sharp received 7,497 (36.49%); Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe Chairman Harold Frazier received 4,358 (21.21%); and Chickasaw Nation Lieutenant Governor Jefferson Keel received 8,689 (42.29%).
A run-off round was held between Keel and Sharp. In the end, Keel won and became the 22nd president of NCAI.
On Friday, Chairman Fraizer released the following statement:
Yesterday the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) held elections for executive officers to serve the next two years. NCAI is an organization that was started many years ago during the termination era to protect us and other Tribes from negative federal policies. The first year in 1944 Lakotas, Dakotas and Nakotas from the Oceti Phetage were in the majority. This meant that the Great Sioux Nation was well represented and our interests were presented to those that guided the federal government.
Today that is not the case. Ironically, our voice in Federal policies through NCAI has been terminated. The result of this is poor federal policies regarding my people. This has resulted in an unimproved situation regarding federal trust responsibilities causing situations such as oil pipelines across our treaty territories, loss of resources, poor policy implementation in government programs and budget formulas that prevent us from effectively providing for my Tribe. We will continue to fight for a better future for our children and grandchildren.
I was approached by leaders from other tribes on the Great Plains to run for executive office on NCAI and returned home to reflect on the that request. I conferred with elders, youth and spiritual leaders and was encouraged by the responses I had to pursue the request of my fellow tribal executives. After making the decision, there was an immediate flood of volunteers to assist the election process.
I would like to thank all of those who chose to support me in the opportunity to play a larger role in NCAI. I am grateful to the Tribal council, employees, the Great Plains tribal leaders and most importantly, the people of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. The show of support and number of volunteers was incredible and is a testament to what we can do when we all work together. We definitely showed up proud and left proud.
Unfortunately, the ballots favored tribes that had large revenues with smaller amounts of land. That is what indian country looks like today. I will continue to fight for the Federal government to recognize their trust responsibilities and influence NCAI to represent the tribes that constitute the majority of the native population.

Back in the Saddle?
I have my computer back up and operating which is a big relief after the ups and downs of the past month. Seems we've found a good, honest, fair, easy-to-deal-with computer guy whom we are now calling our new best friend. The first computer "guru" we dealt with charged us three times as much as this second one but didn't do anything to solve the problems I was having. So it goes. I just feel very happy to have found someone else we can rely upon when computer glitches pop up that can't be taken care of "in house."
Being without my computer has given me the time to get completely caught up on my whole list of summer tasks. Hahahohohoheeheehahaha! Summer time and the livin' is easy. Well, yes, but because of so many things we want to do, both work and recreation related, that simply can't be done in other times of the year up here in our neck o' the woods, it tends to make it all on the frantic side. Keeps us hoppin', that's for sure.
I want to give my garden some press time here on the blog. And I promise to gather some pictures to post soon. Yesterday, I made my first real harvest of strawberries.
The total haul was four and three-quarter pounds of sweet, juicy, lusciousness. We ate a few, shared a few and had strawberries and cream for breakfast this morning. Only two of our three varieties are producing so far with the heaviest yielding variety (Cavendish) of last year still to start. I can hardly wait for the first Strawberry Cream Pie, and I've promised to make a Strawberry-Rhubarb pie for Papa Pea this year.
Our regular rains continue with a couple of heavy thunderstorms rolling through last night. Our grass is so long we might have to bale it when it dries enough for chopping it down. Right now it's solidly covered with white clover which our bees are loving.
Our little tourist town is full, full, FULL of vacationers so I try to get in and out as early as possible when it's necessary.
I've missed you all (very much!) during this past month of periods without connection to the Internet and am trying to get caught back up. So now, into that saddle and . . . giddy-up!

Mama Pea,
Glad to see you're back in the saddle again!!! Strawberries....YUM!!! Love them directly out of the garden.
Having found a computer guru who knows what they're doing, and who doesn't change an arm and a leg is someone you need to keep on the payroll (teasing about payroll....just need to keep him in your Rolodex). We're glad to have you back, and can't wait to hear about your next garden harvest.

Welcome back into the proverbial saddle! I wish you were closer, I'd send my husband over to help with your computer troubles. Free of charge or at least a charge of perhaps some strawberries! :)
I find as I get older I get busier. I thought it was supposed to be the opposite?
We were under that storm watch last night but it side swiped the city as it tends to do these days. Apparently there was a fantastic roll cloud to be seen as well. Missed that too.

I too have a tech guy I have counted on for years. He charges a fair price and fixes problems, many times he can tell me over the phone what to do which is really great. You could share some of your rain with us as we are having a hot dry spell. Rain just goes around us, sigh.

Susan - After I picked yesterday and then went back to snip off all the runners, my back was screaming at me to find some other fun thing to do! Thanks for the welcome back.

Giddy Up Mama Pea! We've all missed you too! xx
Happy belated Independence Day! :) Your strawberries are enviable...I have ZERO. You know, with the rainy weather, everything stalled, but the last few days have felt like summer, fingers crossed it stays that way...I saw a few buds maybe. Not from last year's plant, but the two new ones I planted this year. Maybe I'll have September Strawberries!
I know what you mean about getting back into blogging. Just stopping my daily routine the last few months has got me trying to find my words and my oh so witty remarks again hee hee...

I wonder where you are located, because it brought back memories of living outside Perham, MN. Summertime filled all the lake cottages and easily quadrupled the population! The locals called it "Terrorist Season."

MrsDM - Wouldn't it be wonderful if all of us like-minded bloggers DID live within a short distance of each other? Think of the different talents we each have and how we could trade/barter with each other. I would so love that!
Summer is the time of year when I have to make a real effort to not get crazy because of all there is to do. But then, I think it's all to do with our chosen way of life and it's, ultimately, what we want. Yay for being able to make those choices!

An interesting article by David Conn in The Guardian yesterday highlighted steps being taken by the Football Conference to limit the boom and bust culture which has blighted the league over the last few seasons. They have lost Scarborough, Canvey Island, Halifax Town and Boston United in recent years, and drastic measures have been put in place by a league that is keen not to be seen in the wider press as the home of some financial basket cases. These moves are most welcome, as they seek to force a more responsible form of management upon its member clubs, yet the suspicion remains that life in the Blue Square Premier is still not as rosy as some might want us to believe.
The league is currently headed by Crawley Town, a club whose financial misdeeds have been much reported over the last two or three years, but it is the goings on at two other clubs, Oxford United and Grays Athletic, that are causing alarm bells to ring, with the possibility of one or both of these clubs being unable to continue in anything like the medium to long term being a very real one. Both are clubs that have spent heavily since entering the Conference from very different routes, and both provide distinct warnings to others that seek to take the "spend, spend, spend" route to what is perceived within the world of football as "success". Other clubs are also believed to be in a financially perilous position, but Oxford and Grays are both currently at the centre of news stories which threaten the clubs' very existence.
When Oxford United tumbled out of the Football League in 2006, many believed that their stay in non-league football would be a brief one. They spent heavily on the team and led the Conference for much of the first half of the 2006/07 season, before fading in the league and imploding in the play-offs. Last season, they could manage no better than a mid-table finish, and their start to this season has been little more disastrous, with the club currently sitting in nineteenth place in the table. The club was purchased by Ian Lenegan and Nick Merry just before relegation from League Two, but relations between them and OxVox, the Oxford United Supporters Trust, have deteriorated to such a point that the Trust recently met with the owners and voiced their concerns over the long-term stability of the club. The exact extent of the club's woes remain unknown – Lenegan and Brown refused to advise what they thought that losses would be for this season, citing "confidentiality clauses", but they did admit that losses for last season were even greater than losses were for the year before. The debt is rumoured to currently be in the region of £4m, with the club possiblt losing over £750,000 per year. To put this in perspective, a debt of under £2m was enough to force the closure of Halifax Town at the end of last season. Their stadium is still owned by the club's previous owner, Firoz Kassam, and rent there has just increased. Should the club go out of business, whether Oxford council would be able to resist the temptation to allow planning permission for Kassam to build houses on a piece of land in a city which, to put it simply, doesn't have enough housing, is open to question. The BBC's "Non-League Radio" show attempted to contact the owners to comment on the situation on Monday, but were unable to.
In Essex, Grays Athletic were briefly a very successful club. They won the first Conference South championship in 2005, and the FA Trophy in 2005 and 2006, but rumour and counter rumour and now encircling The New Recreation Ground. The club is owned by Mick Woodward, who was also the club's manager until last weekend, when they lost 3-1 to Woking in the league and he resigned. More worryingly for those concerned about the club's future, he also offered his resignation as chairman and benefactor in an interview with the local radio station, although this stance may have softened slightly since then, with a public meeting having been called this evening to discuss the club's future this evening. Setting aside the extraordinarily sycophantic nature of the interview for a moment, it's worth briefly look at the background behind the decision. Grays recently sold Danny Kedwell to AFC Wimbledon for £10,000, and it was rumoured that a couple of supporters contacted the non-league press to inform them that the proceeds for this sale had gone straight to Woodward rather than to the club. It seems enormously unlikely that this would have happened – Grays is, after all, a limited company that has to submit full accounts to Companies House every year – but the question remains as to whether this is the real reason for his sudden volte face. The club's ground appears to have been sold earlier this year to two property developers, Galliard Homes and Fairfield New Homes, who remain as main sponsors of the club, but plans to move the club five miles to a new stadium at Aveley fell through because it was felt to be too far from their current site and, while there has been talk of moving to a new stadium in the Blackshots area of Grays, there are no concrete plans for a new stadium and, in the current financial climate, it could take some time to find the funding or the council support required to build a new stadium. In the meantime, crowds at The New Recreation Ground have fallen from an average of almost 1,500 three years ago to an average of under 600 this season. This is, to put it simply, an unsustainable course for the club to chart should it wish to retain a full-time playing staff.
The Football Conference, ultimately, can put in place whatever rules it wishes to try and secure the long term viability of its member clubs, but the end repsonsibility for the running of those clubs ends with the people that sign the cheques. Through the smoke of rumour and counter-rumour, it is difficult to see what the exact truth behind the health of the likes of Oxford United and Grays Athletic is, but it is difficult to offer either of them a positive prognosis based on what we know, and the situation at neither club is helped by the apparent intransigence of the owners of either of them to communicate openly with their supporters. Oxford United may yet prove to be beyond help, but it is impossible to say when the owners stop taking calls from the press and allow relations with the Supporters Trust (who, it should be remembered, only really have the long term future of the club at heart). Grays Athletic's supporters, on the other hand, still have the time to mobilise and organise themselves into a Supporters Trust, which may ensure that football of some sort continues to be played in that particular corner of Essex. Their meeting this evening should prove to be an interesting one. There are many questions that need to be asked there, the most important of which is, "what are the plans for our new home?".

Best City to Retire in MainMaine's largest city, Portland, is an amazing place to retire. Although small by west coast standards, Portland's population is approximately 62,000 and growing at a rate of nearly 1.5% per year. Housing an incredible Arts District, Portland is also home to several other named neighborhoods, each with their own culture and entertainment. In 2009, Forbes rated Portland #1 on its list of "America's Most Livable Cities" and Bon Apatite Magazine called it "America's Foodiest Small Town". Portland is home to several food festivals which pay homage to food and drink from many different cultures. The city also has the largest shopping mall in Maine, as well as the largest hospital. A 30-mile network of biking and walking trails was recently renovated within the city, making it a great place for exercise enthusiasts. A relaxed city atmosphere, plenty to see and do and an active network of seniors with a variety of interests make Portland one of the best cities to retire in Main.
Cheapest Place to Retire in MainBangor Maine takes the top honors when considering the financial ramifications of Maine retirement. The small city of 32,000 offers a lot for retirees. With 33% of the population aged 55 or older, Bangor caters to the retirement community. An average three bedroom house costs $165,000, nearly $15,000 less than the national average. With a rich arts community, Bangor is home to several annual art festivals including the American Folk Festival. There are nearly thirty parks within the Bangor city limits, and Arcadia National Park is only a 90-minute drive away. Groceries are 3% lower than the national average and gasoline averages $3.65 per gallon. Healthcare costs are in line with national expenditures. With so much to see and do, it would be easy to mistake Bangor for a larger city; however, the entire area has a small-town feel. Bangor is also close to the beautiful Atlantic coast, allowing for day trips filled with beach combing.
Tax-Free Retirement Made Easy
You don't want to organize your new life overseas around tax code...but sometimes the two agendas can converge.
We've identified three countries that roll out the welcome mat, not only offering significant benefits for foreign residents, including seriously appealing tax advantages, but also making it easy for you to become a foreign resident in the first place.
That is, it can be possible to relocate to the Shangri-la of your fondest daydreams...while, at the same time, reducing your tax burden, maybe to zero.
It depends largely on how and from where your income is derived...
And the key is arranging legal foreign residency.
Here's the good news: While not every country welcomes foreign retirees or expats, we've identified three countries that roll out the welcome mat, not only offering significant benefits for foreign residents, including seriously appealing tax advantages, but also making it easy for you to become a foreign resident in the first place.
The state of Maine is a great retirement destination for those who wish to get away from the daily trappings of big city life. Arguably the northeast's best place to retire, Maine has something for everyone. For those looking for relaxation and beauty, Maine is the best place to live.

Where Is Longmont Colorado?
Longmont is located in the U.S. state of Colorado at the base of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Longmont is 15 miles northeast of of Boulder and 31 miles north-northwest of Denver. In the opposite direction of Denver, Longmont is 33 miles from Rocky Mountain National Park.
Directions To Longmont From Denver International Airport
From the airport, take Pena Boulevard towards Denver. Go west on I-70. Take a right on I-270. Go north on I-25 for 23 miles until exit 240 where you will go left on CO-119. This will lead you directly to Main street in Longmont.
Take the same route to return to the airport. Watch the signs carefully around I-25, I-76, and I-270. Continue straight to I-270, then I-70 (avoiding the I-225 exit), then Pena Blvd. to the airport.
The E-470 toll road connects Pena Blvd. with 96th Street, just north of US 36. It's not worth the bother most of the time. (It's only a few miles shorter and has three stops with $6.00 tolls.) But it can save a lot of time during rush hour, especially when heading to the airport.

May Day protests: Thousands to participate in rallies across L.A.
Thousands of protesters are expected to participate Tuesday in May Day rallies across Los Angeles to register their views on a variety of issues including fair labor practices, immigration and income inequality.
Street closures began Tuesday morning and will last throughout the day downtown, the epicenter for the protests. The reach of the demonstrations will extend across Los Angeles, however, as caravans drive in for an "Occupy May 1" protest. And at LAX, workers planned to walk off their jobs to protest what they call unfair labor practices.
KTLA-TV reported that airport workers began picketing at 3 a.m. and would continue all day, until midnight. Airport officials said about 1,200 members of United Service Workers West were expected to hold a demonstration and march starting at noon inside the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
Those traveling to and from the airport between noon and 4 p.m. were warned to expect traffic delays partly because of two detours, officials said.
"While flight operations are expected to be normal, passengers are advised to check with their airlines to ensure their flights are on time before coming to the airport," airport officials said in a statement.
Occupy Los Angeles will hold a special General Assembly at 7 p.m. at Pershing Square, according to information on its website.
In addition, members of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles will march and rally alongside the May 1 Unity Coalition, starting at 1 p.m. at Olympic Boulevard and South Broadway. Organizers say they are marching for "good jobs, immigration reform, voting and peace."
The protests Tuesday mark the five-year anniversary of the "May Day melee" in MacArthur Park, when more than 90 protesters, reporters and bystanders said their civil rights were violated by police who opened fire with 200 rounds of beanbag munitions, stingers and hard rubber bullets after ordering demonstrators to disperse.
LAPD Lt. Andy Nieman said there were "plenty of officers deployed" to handle this year's events. He said they have permits on file for four protests Tuesday.
"We do this every year," Nieman said. "We are well-informed. We've been working with the organizers for months now -– that's the best part of our plan."
May Day marches will jam L.A.'s morning commute

We are in the midst of harvest season. In Minnesota, it comes earlier than elsewhere. Hop cones are flourishing, grapes are ripening. For us homebrewers, it means one last big warm-weather brew day.
For the last few weeks, I've been watching my hop cones develop and mature. Almost two pounds of Centennial was harvested earlier, for use in some Dead Ringer IPA.
The Centennial matured earlier than the rest of my crop this year. It has given me time to plan out recipes, gather grain, and do yeast starters for the rest of my 5 varieties.
The rest of my hops were ripe, flowing with lupulin, the weather was beautiful, perfect for 4 different batches of beer. All wet-hopped with fresh home-grown leaf. All brewed all-grain. All in one day.
An ESB, a Northern English Brown Ale, a batch of NB's Extra Pale Ale, and the Twelfth Night Stout. All great batches to kick off the season, and last into winter.
Multitasking was critical for such a monumental brew day. It was not the biggest brew day I've had, but it was close. We harvested hops while mash water was heating for both of the first two batches was heating. Kept harvesting through the mash, checking periodically to make adjustments, but things were going well.
A stuck sparge threw off the schedule a slight bit during the first run off. No big deal, I had all day to handle small little hiccups like that. The second one ran off fine, and crystal clear.
The next two batches went off without a hitch. A quick decoction on one to bring it up to an alpha saccharification rest, and develop some melanoidins and additional malt character.
I've got a Horizon based IPA and Pale ale to brew next, then I have to decide what to do with all of the extra Goldings and Willamette, and use or dry the rest of the Cascade before it turns.
All in all, a great way to kick off the fall season. Next up, fresh grapes and wine. It's a great time of year to make room in the fermentors.

Rabbi David Walk
Wow, there have been so many times when I've opened my mouth and just wanted to take those words back, but I couldn't because my foot was blocking the opening. Just thinking about some of those occurrences makes me blush. And I'm not the only one who has experienced this mortification. Just think about some of our politicians. I know that we all would rather not think of that bunch, but they can be poster children for avoiding loose lips. Take Andrea Leadsom's example. She had a real chance to become England's next Prime Minister until she said, on camera, 'I feel that being a mum means you have a very real stake in the future of our country, a tangible stake.' All the denials in the world and all the claims of biased reporting couldn't put that comment to rest, when you're running against a woman who couldn't have children. Good bye, Andrea, from the world of political power; welcome, Andrea, to the world of historical footnotes. And even though for a certain American candidate, that might not even be the gaffe of the day, we can still learn from this incident how we should be thinking before speaking. Or, better yet, thinking more and talking less. And this is extremely important, because speech is a major issue in this week's Torah reading and throughout the entire book of Numbers.
There are those who say that the Hebrew name for this book of the Torah is a pun. We call this volume Bamidbar, which we translate: In the Desert (better would be Wilderness). However, we could pronounce those Hebrew letters: bimidaber or 'concerning talking'. In other words this is a book in which talking is very important. A lot of the talking is very negative, like the complaining (multiple instances), Miriam's lashon hara, the negative report of the spies, and the rebellious tirades of Korach, Datan and Aviram. By the way, the complaining covers about half a dozen incidents, and one is just worse than the next. We also have occasions when characters demand that others stop talking, like Calev with the spies, Yehoshua with Eldad and Meidad, and God with Miriam. Talking is a big deal in our text and in our faith. Jewish Law demands that we recite or declare certain things (Shema, Kiddush and the Pesach Seder), and in Jewish thought humans are described as the beings who talk, as opposed to walk (animals are holech), grow (vegetation is tzomeach) or just lay there (inanimate stuff is domem).
So, what is unique about the talking in our parsha? God tells Moshe: Zelophehad's daughters speak justly. You shall certainly give them a portion of inheritance along with their father's brothers, and you shall transfer their father's inheritance to them (Numbers 27:7). The Hebrew word for 'justly' is ken. Now, we know that word in Modern Hebrew as 'yes', but here it could mean right, justified, legitimate, valid or correct. God is saying that this was an appropriate use of our human power of speech.
My daughter, Rachel, has begun writing a weekly Torah article in Hebrew for women (I'm very proud!), and last week she quoted from her high school head master, Harav Avraham Hacohen Baharan, Z"L. He was a master educator, and one of his major points of emphasis was the dignity of the student. He pushed strongly the concept that words create realities, and that the young women should never say anything derogatory to each other. His suggestion was that in moments of anger they should use neutral terms in addressing each other. So, you could walk around their campus and hear upset students exclaiming, 'Why you spoon!' or 'You're such a pencil!' It was weird but effective. I think that the daughters of Zelophehad did the daughters of Rav Baharan one better.
They approached Moshe with a very specific claim. Many characters in Bamidbar had claims and complaints, but here's the difference: These women framed their specific request in a positive way. Here's their petition: You know that our father died in the desert. But it was for something he did wrong, not for joining with Korah in rebelling against the Lord. Our father left no sons to carry on his family name. But why should his name die out for that reason? Give us some land like the rest of his relatives in our clan, so our father's name can live on (Numbers 27:3-4). Their plea was a call for justice on behalf of their beloved father, not a selfish, self serving demand. In Jewish tradition we often say that prayers framed as a request for others are more readily accepted than requests for ourselves. We Jewish parents and educators are trying to engender attitudes which are generous and gracious rather than the 'me, me, me' way of behaving which sadly seems to be prevalent in our society.
The story of B'not Zelophehod is seminal to the episodes in the Book of Numbers. Towards the beginning of our volume, there were petitioners asking for redress over the fact that they couldn't bring the Paschal Lamb because they were ritually impure. They were granted Pesach Sheni, basically a make-up for those who failed the first time round. Then our book is filled with negative examples of speeches and complaints. Until we encounter the daughters of Zelophehad. Here we are given a tutorial in how to frame a petition. We have one last instance of a request in our volume: the tribes of Gad and Asher want the land of the trans-Jordan. They had to ask twice, because they had to learn how to express their position. And they learned from Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
This episode is informative and inspiring. We must learn how to present our requests. All too often we behave with an attitude of entitlement. We use the word 'please' as an aggressive challenge rather than a polite supplication. The daughters of Zelophehad planned carefully how to voice their legitimate claim. May we be inspired to emulate their example.

chops, sucks, blows
Such a dark little dismal image - this bookshelf measures a good eight feet across! But you cannot tell this from my decrepit photography!
I wanted you to see it sans finishing elements. The hardware arrived last week - oooh-la-la! Scott is an incredibly talented carpenter. This bookshelf is made of mahogany - in two pieces. The doors will feature small paned glass windows.
Scott can envision the projects that I throw at him, turn them around and around, allow them to percolate, and always take them to the next level... case in point, a new bird feeder. One to replace an old favorite which is coming apart at the seams.
Humble beginnings -
Some serious construction - 2x6 beam coming in ....
The beauty of this piece is in its design -
Scott wanted to create a feeding sanctuary where the birds could come and light in safety and peace. We have aggressive red-tailed hawks which pick off the bird population on any given day -
The inner works - a removable screen and shelter from the elements for our birds. We are filling the feeder with hulled sunflower kernels to combat the debris which leftover shells produce in the gardens and lawn. I really think that Scott nailed it on this one! Everything comes together to produce a thing of true beauty.
Since we are discussing Scott - here's a look at his newest 'toy'.
When asked what its functions entailed he replied, "it chops, sucks and blows." Hmmm. This is one 'toy' that may benefit the gardens, big time. It can suck up the leaves and chop them into nice tidy bits for compost. It can also gather grass clippings which I will use to mulch the walkways in the vegetable garden. I think that I LIKE the Cyclone!
After a few swipes about the yard it is positively FILLED to capacity! Who knew that grass clippings could be so exciting?
Here it is - the very first asparagus of the season! We may have a hearty crop this year. Oh - and speaking of good things - look what I found today at a yard sale -

OMG! That is the coolest yard sale find EVER! It has no boobs which means I could use it for ME.
FYI--when I read your post title, I thought you were going to talk about my week.

Wonderful post today Jody, I really enjoyed it! Your book case is going to be so beautiful. Your husband sounds a lot like mine, always wanting to design whatever he is making in a unique and functional way. The bird sanctuary will be a good protection.
We have large hawks as well and giant turkey buzzards. The turkey buzzards were quite a shock to me when I first moved here from California. Some of them are about three or four times the size of the biggest crow I ever saw back home. We have a catfish pond on the front acre of our property and once in awhile they will get a fish and there will be a dozen circling around in the air or crowding around on the ground. But at the same time they do a great service for us by taking care of the animal remains and keeping the rodent and snake population down.
Your asparagus looks lovely! I can only imagine how delicious it must taste. I love asparagus. Especially asparagus quiche. Great find on the dress form! It is so hard to find the real vintage ones anymore. I ended up buying a new one last year, and I really enjoy it. The dress form helps to give me a more complete perspective when I am crocheting or knitting garments and saves me from having to keep trying on things. I don't know what I would do without it now. I hope you have a lovely sunday! Delisa :)

Hi Jody,
What a great Saturday you had. I loved it all. Scott is so talented. That bookcase is a great storage idea for that spot--gorgeous and functional.
Fresh asparagus from your own garden. It's hard to beat that.
Great yard sale find. You don't see those too often.

Manchester United are fighting a losing battle in their bid to bring
Angel Di Maria to Old Trafford, according to Spanish reports.
The Red Devils are said to be keen on Real Madridâs highly-rated winger, and with Di Maria understood to be unhappy at the speed of new contract negotiations, Sir Alex Ferguson was thought to be readying a cheeky offer.
But Real boss Jose Mourinho has absolutely no intention of letting the 23-year-old leave the Bernabeu, and will rebuff any advance United make for the former Benfica man.
Di Maria was one of the Special Oneâs first signings for Madrid, and has been a hit in the Spanish capital ever since arriving for £22million in 2010.
Fergie was chasing the Argentinean before he joined Mourinho, but with Nani, Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia currently competing for a starting space on the flanks, the United boss will likely cool his search for another wide man if he canât land Di Maria on the cheap.
