I was so happy to find your new post in my email! What a perfect timing to receive it, as I was listening to the beautiful Concert Arias from your "countryman" (Mozart) sang by Natalie Dessay. Your pictures and people's reaction to them remind me that beauty does matter and people do appreciate it. Thank you.ReplyDelete

PPM News is no longer "under construction." While it might not be completely ready for "prime time" either, we've released it into the wild of the blogosphere. We invite you to join the discussion.
PPM News is a blog space that is intended as an ongoing discussion of information and issues that relate to the electronic measurement of radio. It is intended as a forum for industry professionals to keep up to date on information, rumor, ideas and opinion. But it is especially intended to be a learning tool.
PPM News was originally conceived as an internal site for R.O.I. Media Solutions in Los Angeles as we delved into this learning process and began trying to understand the methodology, the systems and the impact of electronic measurement on the radio industry, our clients and our own business.
This learning process is not a solitary pursuit. We soon found ourselves listening, questioning, comparing notes, sharing ideas, discussing and debating with Arbitron, Media Audit, other researchers, vendors and broadcasters.
We decided that we should create a forum and open the discussion to this relatively small group. We'll broaden the group as the discussion grows.
At this point, all topics that are related to electronic measurement of radio (directly or indirectly) are fair game.
There are only a couple of rules:
Anyone can comment.
You can use your name and email address or you can comment anonymously.
Posting privileges are extended by invitation.
Play nice. Dissenting opinion is invited and encouraged but let's keep it at a professional level.
We chose "PPM News" as the title because Arbitron seems to be closest to marketplace deployment with their Personal People Meter device. Electronic measurement of radio - in whatever form it takes in the future - will probably be referred to collectively as "PPM." We acknowledge that there are other options that warrant evaluation and exploration. We invite discussion of all of the opportunities and alternatives that present themselves.
Thank you,
Josh Rose, Doyle Rose and Mark Shannon O'Neill

While there still may be some snow on the ground, with a week or two of warm weather it should disappear rather quickly revealing the damages winter left to your lawn. By assessing what needs to be done early on, it will help alleviate some of the aches and pains of making your backyard ready for the beginning of another spring season. CREB®Now has compiled some tips to help you get your lawn looking normal again.
Grab A Rake
Come spring, fallen leaves, branches and other victims of the long winter months provide normal yard decorations for most Calgary homes. An important first step in making your lawn more lush than loathsome is to clear it of all that rubbish. Making sure to don work gloves (nobody likes blisters), take care of the obvious raking and waste removal around the yard. Even if you raked in the fall, it's important to repeat the step to cut down on thatch, which can impact the health of your lawn. Raking can also help eliminate turf disease, also known as snow mold, which can cause allergic and asthmatic reactions. If you're planning on composting, be careful to remove animal waste, pinecones and other materials not suitable for composting.
Grab Some Shears
Just as winter can have an adverse affect on your lawn, it can also be damaging to trees and shrubs. Having fallen victim to harsh winds and cold climes, dead limbs and branches on trees should be pruned come spring. Although Agriculture Canada recommends the "If you have no good reason to prune, don't" rule of thumb, there are times when pruning must be done and proper procedures should be followed. Pruning trees in early spring before growth starts reduces the number of leaves produced the coming year. Less water and nutrients will be required because there is reduced growth at the top of the tree. Exceptions to the dormant pruning rule are Maple, Birch and Elm, which should be pruned when actively growing mid-summer.
Grab The Aerator
Okay, so maybe you don't have an aerator. While not all yards need to be aerated, removing small soil plugs or cores out of the lawn can help your lawn absorb nutrients, improve rooting and help prevent fertilizer and pesticide runoff from overly compacted areas. If in doubt about aeration, take a core sample of your lawn and subsurface at least 15 centimetres deep. If grass roots extend only into the first few centimetres, your soil may be compacted and could benefit from core aeration. Aerators can be rented from many garden or rental centres, and some landscape companies will perform the service for you. In Alberta, the best time to aerate is May to June and again in mid-September.
Grab The Peat Moss
Now that your lawn has been aerated, it is time to do something called "top dressing". All it takes is spreading a thin layer of peat moss over the lawn with a rake. This will help to gradually condition your lawn by strengthening it to resist disease, weeds and thatch. Top dressing your lawn also reduces the amount of water and fertilizer it needs.

Comparing using adverbs (she wears it more elegantly) is different from comparing actions or things.
Look at these examples:
Elle marche plus lentement que moi.
She walks more slowly than I.
Il parle plus vite que toi.
He speaks faster than you.
He speaks more quickly than you.
Je chante aussi bien que ma tante.
I sing as well as my aunt.
Sandra s'habille moins élégamment que lui.
Sandra dresses less elegantly than he.
Germaine est allée se coucher plus tôt que Simon.
Germaine went to bed earlier than Simon.
Note that to compare adverbs (nicely, quickly, slowly ...), you use comparative words as follows:
|more [adverb] than
[adverb]-er than
|plus [adverbe] que
|less [adverb] than
|moins [adverbe] que
|as [adverb] as
|aussi [adverbe] que
You won't say ''Elle marche plus lentemente que moi.''
Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...), in French you will once again use the stress pronoun after que (... que moi, toi, lui/elle, nous, vous, eux/elles). You will also never repeat the verb with (do/am/have) afterwards.
I run faster than you do.
See also other Comparative structures:
Plus... plus..., moins... moins... = the more...the more..., the less...the less... (comparisons with phrases)
Better and better, worse and worse = de mieux en mieux, de pire en pire (comparisons)
De plus en plus and de moins en moins = more and more and less and less (comparisons with adjectives, adverbs, verbs)
De plus en plus de and de moins en moins de = more and more and less and less (comparisons of nouns)
Making comparisons with adjectives: plus... que, aussi... que, moins... que
Making comparisons with nouns: plus de... que, moins de... que, autant de... que
Making comparisons with verbs: plus que, autant que, moins que
And for Superlative forms, see:
Le, la, les plus and le, la, les moins = the most and the least (superlatives of adjectives)
Meilleur, mieux, pire / plus mauvais, plus mal = better, best, worse and worst (irregular comparatives and superlatives)
Le plus and le moins = the most and the least (superlative of adverbs)

You won't say ''Elle marche plus lentemente que moi.''
In the instructions, the letters "t" and "e" on "lentemente" are crossed out but only the "e" should be crossed out (to become "lentement"); "lentemen" is not a word.

Hi Natasha,
As this might be an error, can you point us to where these instructions come from?
Kwiziq community member
With adverbs, you NEVER agree.You won't say ''Elle marche plus lentemente que moi.'' "
Kwiziq community member
Obviously, the comment box removed all the formatting but if you look at the instructions on the page, the 'te' are crossed out. Only the 'e' should be crossed out.

In a quiz I was asked to translate "My aunt drives as carefully as my uncle" and I responsed with "Ma tante conduit aussi prudemment que mon oncle". Why did Kwiziq mark this wrong and want "document"? Aren't both of these equally valid translations?
And this lesson does not even use the word doucement, which might have indicated that Kwiziq perferred that word.
Searching on the web provides thousands of instances of "conduire prudemment" with the meaning of carefully.

I guess you missed the hint below the question:
HINT: doucement = carefully
Kwiziq community member
Ok. It is hard to get back to see it since that must be 100 quizzes ago but if it is there I must have missed it so I apologize.
It would be so nice if one could get the question and answer displayed on the same screen as one is composig the post to the discussion.

Can one say plus proche de quelqu'un as well as plus près?
Kwiziq language super star
Hi Ann,
It depends what you mean -
Normally 'près' expresses a physical proximity (in space) whereas 'proche' is used more to express an emotional, mental closeness.
"On peut être près de quelqu'un sans en être proche!" (You can be near to someone without being close!)
You can say 'plus près de' if you are comparing two things and it will be followed by 'que'. e.g.
Versailles est plus près de Paris que de Nantes.
or using 'plus proche de':
"Je suis plus proche de son frère que de lui" = "I am closer to his brother than to him."
Hope this helps!

Applying hair treatments on a regular basis is one of the easiest ways to obtain healthier stronger hair. What women does not want to have healthy hair, am I right?
There are many different hair treatment products available, but sometimes going "au-natural" is the best option - not only is it good for your hair, it's also cost effective.
What products do you need in order to make an all natural DIY hair treatment?
For today's DIY beauty recipe, you'll need unrefined coconut oil and fresh lavender. Yep. Only two ingredients and you'll be one step closer to achieving the hair of your dreams.
This super simple DIY beauty recipe for lavender infused coconut oil hair treatment was shared by Wendy Rose Gould, beauty expert at Latest-Hairstyles.com.
According to Wendy, "applied topically, coconut oil actually does a few things for your hair. First, it nourishes the hair shaft to create a vibrant sheen. It also conditions the hair to restore moisture and repair damage".
In addition to restoring the hair, she also mentioned that when coconut oil is "applied at the scalp, it can help reduce dandruff and soothe sensitive or itchy skin."
Now that we have a better idea of why coconut oil is used in this two-ingredient DIY beauty recipe, what about the lavender? What added benefits are there?
Wendy explains, "Lavender also has numerous benefits. It's no secret that it smells amazing, and many simply use aromatic lavender for its calming effects. Topically, lavender, like coconut oil, is antibacterial and therefore helps with dandruff. It also helps to soften the hair."
Ready to get your DIY on?
DIY Beauty Recipe: Lavender-Infused Coconut Oil Hair Treatment
- Small Bowl
- 2 Tablespoons of Unrefined, Virgin Coconut Oil
- Fresh or Dried Lavender Springs (or 2 drops essential oil)
- Measuring Spoons
Step 1: Place Oil Into Your Bowl
Measure out 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and add it to your bowl. Depending on your hair length, you may want to add more or less oil to the bowl.
For medium-to-long hair, two tablespoons should suffice. If your coconut oil has turned to liquid, just measure it out like normal.
Step 2: Add Lavender
Remove the greens and/or buds from your lavender and place it in the bowl with your coconut oil. If you want to add a little more for fragrance, that's okay. A few pinches is plenty.
Step 3: Infuse Your Lavender
Next, we're going to infuse the lavender into the coconut oil. To do this, create a bain-marie by placing your bowl over a sauce pan filled with water. Turn your heat to low-medium and allow the coconut oil to melt down, stirring periodically.
If your coconut oil is already liquid, you still want to do this, as the warmth from the water bath will expedite the lavender oil extraction.
Keep your bain-marie going for 45 minutes to one hour, then remove from the heat.
Step 4: Cool and Strain
Allow your infused coconut oil to set for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is slightly warm (not hot). Remove the lavender pieces if desired.
Step 5: Apply to Hair
Work the oil through your hair, focusing on the ends where hair gets dry. You can also focus on the scalp if you're dealing with itchy, dry skin or dandruff. Let the oil set for 15 to 45 minutes. The longer it sets, the better. Shampoo and style as normal.
A specials thank you goes out to Wendy Rose Gould and Latest-Hairstyles.com for
sharing this DIY beauty recipe.

Western Price Survey
Week's End Edition
Power prices went on spring break this week on the back of flat natural gas prices and moderate demand. Peak prices ended a few cents to $2/MWh lower on Friday. Nighttime prices, however, rose uniformly, adding from a few cents to $4/MWh, as colder weather moved in.
The California grid saw peak power demand slip from a Monday high of 31,300 MW to below 30,000 MW on Friday. Electricity use spiked on Thursday to 30,800 MW as a nuclear power plant went off line.
The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station had several scheduled maintenance outages this week. The plant, located south of Los Angeles, reduced power the previous weekend at its 1,070 MW second unit. By Thursday, the plant's third unit, rated at 1,110 MW, was shuttered for scheduled maintenance and won't return to full power until May 24.
The Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, operated by Pacific Gas & Electric, was back at full operating capacity on Thursday after a refueling outage. The plant's second unit has a power rating of 1,188 MW.
Wholesale electricity prices dropped fast on Wednesday, losing up to $7/MWh, but all the major Western power hubs staged rebounds between $1 and $6/MWh by Thursday. The Pacific Northwest saw the strongest gains as it was peppered with late-winter rain and snow. In Seattle and Portland, temperatures slipped Friday into the high 40s and are expected to remain cold through the weekend, according to AccuWeather. Cooler weather returns to California this weekend as well, with temperatures dipping into the 60s in Los Angeles and the 50s in San Francisco. Phoenix, however, will enjoy this weekend sunny skies and temperatures in the high 80s to low 90s.
At the California-Oregon border, average peak power prices fell from $94.71/MWh Monday to $93.27 on Friday. After sliding for much of the week, nighttime deliveries reversed on Thursday and ended the week at an average of $81.99/MWh, up 53 cents.
The Mid-Columbia hub saw peak values display the same pattern, inching down from Monday's $92.43 average to close Friday at around $92.40/MWh. Nighttime values ended the week about $6 higher to an average of $87.78/MWh.
Daytime values at North of Path 15 dropped a little over $1 to an average of $95.32/MWh. Nighttime trades rose $3 to $78.39/MWh.
South of Path 15 average peak prices gave back nearly $2 to close out the week at $95.65/MWh, while off-peak prices staged a $3 rise to $78.88 on Friday.
Palo Verde daytime power finished out the week at an average of $89.49/MWh, down 6 cents from Monday. Nighttime trades climbed from Monday's average of $67.92 to $71.54/MWh [Kristina Shevory].
Natural Gas Prices Buck Rise in Crude Oil, Remain Flat
A weak dollar teamed with intense investor speculation in the energy sector to prop up natural gas and oil prices in recent weeks. Lower liquefied natural gas imports and drilling in the Gulf of Mexico have also contributed to higher prices.
Meanwhile, according to Enerfax, drilling at the Independence Hub in the Gulf of Mexico has been curtailed until a leak in one of the pipelines is fixed, which should take one to four weeks. And LNG cargoes are being diverted to Europe and Asia, where customers are willing to pay more.
But even under such pressure -- and with crude oil reaching yet another record this week, exceeding $116 a barrel -- natural gas prices remained flat this week, finishing in the $9 to $10/MMBtu range.
Gas values are typically lower as temperatures rise and demand for heating cools. This "shoulder season" is when utilities and other industrial users start stockpiling supplies for the summer.
For the first time this winter, natural gas stockpiles increased even though the weather was colder than average. Supplies rose by 27 Bcf last week to 1.261 Tcf, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported. This leaves storage at about the same level as the five-year average and 19 percent below the same level last year.
In the West, supplies inched up by 3 Bcf to 176 Bcf last week, leaving stockpiles 29 percent below last year and 15 percent less than the five-year average [K. S.].
Archives of the Western Price Survey for the past year are also available online.

Court dismissed claim filed by Bedouin plaintiffs due to the lack of evidence of their land possession rights
The Kiryat Gat Magistrate's Court rejected the claim by Bedouin claimants, revoked the injunction filed due to the strike and ordered for the costs of 25,000 shekels to be charged to plaintiffs in the state's favor.
This unprecedented ruling by Hon. Judge Israel Pablo Axelrad came on May 22 in response to requests filed by Bedouins demanding to stop tree planting in the Arkiv 34 area on the territory that was not appropriated by the state. The cause of action was a claim memorandum allegedly filed by plaintiffs to a Settlement Ordinance official.
First the court ruled that plaintiffs did not succeed at all in proving that the claim they filed does not fall within the area that was appropriated and this alone is enough to dismiss the case.
Nevertheless, Hon. Judge Israel Pablo Axelrad went on to analyze the plaintiffs' claims. Regarding the absence of land rights despite the claim memo filed by claimants Hon. Judge noted that "previous court rulings were based mainly on the lack of claimants' rights in their specific cases and not on any recorded right of the state". In other words, it doesn't matter whether this land is properly registered or not – claim memorandum alone does not confer the plaintiffs any land possession rights, and this was the main reason for this case dismissal.
Regarding the right of the state on the land Hon. Judge Axelrad ruled out that although the land was not appropriated, by provisions of Section 22 of the Land Ordinance and by provisions of Section 3 of the State Property Law, the state has a residual right on the land which means that if the land was not appropriated and as long as there is no specific court ruling on the case, it belongs to the state.
With respect to the matter of the land use by the state the court has accepted the position of the Israeli Land Administration – land has to be inspected on a regular basis, it is acceptable to plant forests on it and carry out agricultural activity for a certain period of time, but what is most important – it is completely appropriate to evict trespassers trying to invade the state-owned land.
In the end of the court ruling text Hon. Judge Axelrad harshly criticized the plaintiffs for "the excessive use of cynical and sometimes blatant tongue" in their claim brief text and during the court sessions.

Importance and Ways to Select a Commercial Architect
The ideal approach to begin assembling a house or commercial building is by utilising the suitable draftsman. An architect is concerned with both the idea and organisation as well as planning of a building or any land improvement. An architect is prepared with the end goal that they change a client's needs and requests into plan and inevitably into a physical frame. This suggests that they ought to have a thorough education and skill background that will help in the creation of a sound development for individuals and the groups. Any architect interested in getting construction contracts must get accredited by the relevant regulatory authority so at to comply with all safety measure involved in designing a building.
A building designer is a very significant contributor to the eventual design of a building such as
McKinney Church Design
from its start to finish. It is the work of the architect to produce a visual representation of the structure to guide the construction workers on the desired building outlook according to the preferences of the investor. That is why experience is quite handy when it comes to architectural jobs mostly in the particular niche that you are interested in. A modeller who has been doing business for no less than 5-10 years probably has some solid experience. This discloses to you that before feeling free to marking the outlining contract, play out a foundation examination on the capacities of your coveted engineer. Always ensure that they have some considerable experience up to a minimum of five years in a specific niche not as an unspecialized architect.
An accomplished draftsman ought to have a partnership with a solid regulatory establishment. An architect that lacks in such records proofs they are unqualified and should get dismissed at once. However, an alliance is not by any means the only thought before picking a drafter. Other applicable variables and components ought to likewise be considered, so a definitive choice is made remembering all worries. The physical specialised topic is critical. It is a common practice to find that an architect such as from
is only qualified to perform jobs in only a specific field. Although they may be highly qualified in design and in the specific area, this does not guarantee that they will have the capacity to convey identical outcomes in the region of the venture's necessity. Hence, this perspective ought to likewise be remembered.
A decent modeller is a perfect route to any land advancement. Once a strong relationship and comprehension have been built up with the correct architects, the whole procedure of creativity, winds up easier and fulfilling. A decent designer knows about every single requirement of the job at hand and is loaded with great systems. It is imperative that you contract an qualified architect that will complete your design correctly.

Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash (1981)
Hootenanny (1983)
Let It Be (1984)
Pleased to Meet Me (1987)
Don't Tell a Soul (1989)

The Replacements were an American rock band formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1979. Initially a punk rock band, they are considered pioneers of alternative rock. The band was composed of the guitarist and vocalist Paul Westerberg, guitarist Bob Stinson, bass guitarist Tommy Stinson and drummer Chris Mars for most of its career. Following several acclaimed albums, including Let It Be and Tim, Bob Stinson left the band in 1986, and Slim Dunlap joined as lead guitarist. Steve Foley replaced Mars in 1990. Towards the end of the band's career, Westerberg exerted more control over the creative output. The group disbanded in 1991, with the members eventually pursuing various projects. A reunion was announced on October 3, 2012. The Replacements never had significant commercial success, except for "I'll Be You", which hit number 1 on the Billboard Alt Rock chart, but they influenced numerous alternative rock acts.
The Replacements' music was influenced by rock artists such as the Rolling Stones, Faces, Big Star, Slade, Badfinger, Lou Reed and the Beatles as well as punk rock bands such as the Ramones, the New York Dolls, Dead Boys and the Clash. Unlike many of their underground contemporaries, the Replacements played "heart-on-the-sleeve" rock songs that combined Westerberg's "raw-throated adolescent howl" with self-deprecating lyrics. The Replacements were a notoriously wayward live act, often performing under the influence of alcohol and playing fragments of covers instead of their own material.

The Ropey was one of the first pieces I created. It's so chic, functional and versatile that it has become a customer favorite.
So, what would I wear with the ropey? Just about anything...but right now I'm really feeling this look for end of summer/early fall.

The British Newspaper Archive is now available to view free at all Central Bedfordshire Libraries, where old editions of the Leighton Buzzard Observer and Linslade Gazette (1861-1904) can be found.
It is the latest e-resource from the service, which allows residents the chance to search for a local newspaper from virtually every county in the UK between the 1700s and the 1950s.
The British Newspaper Archive is a ground-breaking partnership between the British Library and findmypast to digitise up to 40 million newspaper pages from the British Library's vast collection over a 10-year period and make them available for the first time.
The bulk of newspapers cover the period from 1830 to 1950 because of the massive growth of the industry at that time.
Other Bedfordshire newspapers currently available are the Bedfordshire Times and Independent (1859-1954), the Biggleswade Chronicle (1898-1954), the Luton Times and Advertiser (1855-1916), and the Luton News and Bedfordshire Chronicle (1897-1954).
Where previously, story hunters had to endure hours of painstaking manual searching through hard copies or microfilm – which will still be available in libraries – they will now be able to search hundreds of millions of articles, family notices, letters, obituaries and advertisements by keyword, name, location, date or title and watch results appear in an instant.
Digital access to the British Newspaper Archive from anywhere outside a library is available through a subscription fee of either £9.95 (one month) and £79.95 (annual). Free access is only gained from a library computer or through a personal device that is connected to the internet via the library WiFi – a list of which can be found at: www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/libraries.
Brian Spurr, Executive Member for Community Services, said: "The scale of this huge undertaking is stunning and, while the hard work has and is being done by the British Library and findmypast, it is a privilege for Central Bedfordshire Libraries to offer residents this vast wealth of information for free.
"The British Newspaper Archive can provide an unrivalled picture of almost 100 years of Bedfordshire life and its accessibility is an example of how our modernisation programme is ensuring our libraries move with the times, while maintaining a connection with the past."

In the November issue of Land Line, Ray Kasicki's regular column "Trucker to Trucker" offered some criticism of the event known to the industry as Drivers Appreciation Week. Ray's viewpoint is that the sponsors of this week make a big deal of saying how much America's truckers mean to the nation, but all the words and proclamations that happen during this week do little to make drivers really feel appreciated.
Last week, I received a good letter from Rex Privette, an OOIDA member from Medaryville, IN. After reading Ray's column, Rex came to a couple of conclusions that he shared with me. Here's part of Rex's letter.
"First, Ray Kasicki is absolutely right. Every point he discusses presents a valid argument toward the cynical title of the piece. Indeed, there are many, many more examples to illustrate his position. It is, however, the second conclusion which disturbs me most.
There is, apparently, no way to solve the problem. Mr. Kasicki offers no solutions. Nor have I heard of anybody else who has a plan for dealing with the issues mentioned. He, like all the others, just perpetuate the whine. To be fair, that's really all that can be expected.
Our profession lacks the moral character we once had as evidenced by those who brag about cheating on their wives, tell tall tales about how they screwed somebody out of something or seek drugs and/or "commercial company" on the CB – all the vulgar language and threats notwithstanding. Too many drivers lack the professionalism we once had as demonstrated by the total lack of personal hygiene and dirty, grease-stained disheveled clothes I see drivers wearing at customers' docks – ratty looking, dirty trucks and spiteful driving practices notwithstanding. With the likes of these drivers, why should we expect any appreciation?
We've got to clean up our own house before we can go pointing fingers at somebody else's shortcomings. Oh, I hear all the talk about how we should do this, that, or the other – but words are cheap. Don't waste ink on "what is." I want to know what we're going to do about it. I want somebody to determine a goal and set forth a viable plan to accomplish the goal."
First of all, I want to thank Rex Privette for his very insightful comments. We at OOIDA, as well as the vast majority of our other members, share in your frustration over what is happening within the industry. There are solutions, but in order to begin addressing those solutions it's important to first focus on the real root cause of the problem.
How many times have you heard a frustrated driver complain about the demise of professionalism of truckers and conclude with "we must clean up our own house first." This is a plea often heard. But there's one thing wrong here. This is not our house. The House of Professional Truckers has become the house motor carriers built. The downhill slide in the quality and professionalism of drivers is not caused by drivers themselves. It's caused by the recruiting and hiring practices of many of the industry's motor carriers.
As motor carrier management – in their quest to find people willing to work for lower and lower wages – continually lower their hiring standards putting behind the wheel any warm body that comes along, can there really be any surprise about the quality of drivers filling those seats? Some carriers are now seeking permission to hire 18-year-olds and some are even recruiting parolees directly out of prison. Some of these people will be model citizens. Some won't. Is it reasonable to expect that if the worst among them become truckdrivers (or steering wheel holders) they will clean up their act? Or that there is anything at all other truckers can do to influence their behavior? I don't think so. Some at the fringe can be influenced by peer pressure, but the real "bottom rungers" won't be influenced at all.
The real problem is the compounding nature of this activity, as these companies succeed in locating more and more sources from which to find people willing or forced by personal circumstances to work for lower wages. As they dream up new and innovative ways (some legal and some illegal) to generate profits, not from the freight rates they charge, but through further victimizing the drivers, they force down rates and compensation throughout the industry. This has caused huge numbers of good professional drivers, including many new recruits who would have become professionals, to leave the industry leaving the door open to the continued escalation of this downhill spiral.
The best solution would be re-regulation of the industry to eliminate the abusive practices and prevent predatory ratemaking. Since that isn't likely to happen in the foreseeable future, the next best solution is to go after these companies (whose illegal activities victimize and degrade the entire industry) through the court systems and any other way possible. OOIDA is doing that through the lawsuits we have filed against some of the worst offenders. And we will be adding more as we continue to establish legal precedence.
Unfortunately, this is not a quick-fix solution. We didn't get into this condition overnight or through just one cause and it won't be easily fixed. The legal battles in some of these cases have been going on now for more than five years, but each new legal precedent we are able to establish moves the process into the next higher gear. (For more on our legal actions, a report on OOIDA's fall board meeting appears on page 18 in this issue.)
As we accumulate hard-won successes through our legal battles, the benefits will accrue not only to those who were directly affected through refund of money inappropriately or illegally taken from them, but to the entire industry including company drivers, owner-operators and legitimate motor carriers by helping to again raise the bar of ethical business conduct and fair competition.
As we move into a new year overflowing with challenges, I am optimistic we will begin seeing even more important victories in the courts as well as in other important initiatives we have underway. The increasing numbers of professional truckers seeing the value of joining together and becoming members of OOIDA adds to my optimism because those increasing numbers are giving us the resources to greatly expand and increase our effectiveness.
The vast majority of truckers are people I am extremely proud to represent. No matter what we do there will always be some among us that through their actions or appearance tend to give the rest of us a bad name. With the likes of these drivers, Rex Privette asks why should "we" expect any appreciation. In my opinion, these drivers are still the minority among professional truckers. They are "thorns." Their manners, their performance, their conduct or their attitude must not discredit the industry's true professionals. As Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "No one can make you feel inferior without your permission." The real professional drivers are entitled to not only appreciation, but more importantly the respect you so rightly deserve.
Best wishes to all of you for a Merry Christmas and a safe and more prosperous New Year.

PRO/CON VIEW: Should Texas amend its Castle Doctrine because of too many fatal shootings?
OUR VIEW: Castle Law is OK
The shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida and other high-profile cases have brought new attention to self-defense laws in Texas and other states. Some Texas lawmakers are even talking about plans to dial back the state's "Castle Doctrine" law in the next session.
They shouldn't. And if they try, other lawmakers should stand their ground and stand up for the rights of law-abiding people to protect themselves and their property from criminals who don't play by the rules.
The vast majority of shootings involving the Castle Doctrine in Texas have been found to be legal and justified. If every law had to produce a perfect outcome every time, the state wouldn't have any laws on the books.
Grand juries and prosecutors can examine any fatal shooting. Raul Rodriguez, a Houston-area retired firefighter, was recently convicted of murder despite claiming the Castle Doctrine in his defense. The oversight is already there, and this law doesn't need any further tinkering.
ANOTHER VIEW: Change is needed
The misleading "Castle Doctrine" law in Texas isn't an accident waiting to happen. It's an accident that has happened tragically, many times.
A study by the Houston Chronicle revealed that the Castle Doctrine has been cited in 48 fatal shootings since 2010. Any fair analysis of these deaths shows that many of them could have been avoided.
A petty thief was chased down and shot in the back for stealing a tip jar with $20 in it. Another man was shot and killed by a cab driver during a fight that began with an argument over change.
Incredibly, civilians can shoot and kill people under the protection of this law when a police officer would be fired and indicted for murder if he did the same thing.
Legislators should tighten up this law to allow self-defense shootings only when a victim's life is in imminent danger.
Lesser criminals should be punished, but they should not be gunned down like stray dogs.
FEEDBACK: What do you think? Should Texas amend its Castle Doctrine because of too many fatal shootings? Post your comment below now!

The plot thickens! Now Victorya from "Project Runway" has responded to Tim Gunn's allegations that she is a crabby sourpuss. Over at Blogging Project Runway, Victorya has lots to say, although none of it responds directly to his charges that she demanded he count out all the Mood money and was acting quite weirdly about Jack leaving due to his illness. Mainly she attacks Tim's qualifications and comes off as--you guessed it!--a crabby sourpuss:
It's no secret that it's been extremely hard for me to take any of Tim's advice to heart, chiefly because I don't think he is qualified to give it. Tim was, for many years, the dean of Parsons,which is a fancy word for administrator. Does that automatically give him the credentials to assume the role of an arbiter of fashion? I can see how he might be capable of teaching say, fashion history, but design?I was rather surprised that the comments on this post were not more negative about Victorya; apparently quite a few people are put off by Tim "going public" with his feelings about her. Personally, I think he should go off on contestants in the press more, not less!
I do not mean to assert that he's completely unqualified. He seems to be exploring now what he is good at doing. I think he's very suited to educating women on how they should dress based on body proportions--because it's an almost formulaic approach. This dress will flatter your body because of x, y, and z. But again, that doesn't speak to design.
I am the type of person who, professionally, would prefer to work with someone who may not be the most likable, but really knows their stuff. I'm sure everyone has had a horror story about having to work with someone who is extremely nice, but completely incompetent. It's the absolute worst!

The Subversive Librarian: Creating Lifelong Readers
Post by Beth Gerall
Posted June 26, 2013 in Kids & Book News, NoveList K-8 Plus
Summer is upon us and if you are in a public library you are knee-deep in summer reading programming. This is an important opportunity to help connect kids to great books – books they will read, love, come back to, and want more "just like." This is a chance for public librarians to instill in kids that reading can be for pleasure, for entertainment, for escape – and not necessarily because the book is assigned or fits a unit of study.
During the school year, assigned reading and the demands of Common Core don't leave much time (if any) in the school day for pleasure reading. Don't get me wrong, Common Core has a strong reading component, but the focus is on learning to read, understanding content, and applying information learned in texts; it is not about growing readers or encouraging voluntary reading. So whether it is summer break or during the school year, more and more public librarians are playing a major role in helping kids find books to read for leisure and recreation. Voluntary reading is falling more and more to time outside of school. Public librarians make a difference just by making reading suggestions and offering up some different options.
Recently, one of the NoveList staff, Cassi, told me about her childhood experience where a librarian regularly had a delicious stack of books waiting for her at the circulation desk. The book on top was something related to her current assigned reading, the books on the bottom for pure enjoyment of reading. It was the extra attention to books that she might like that "instilled a need to read everything I could get my hands on that persists to this day."
I know many of us are worried about kids not having enough time to read fiction, but really we need to be concerned with helping kids learn to love reading and encouraging them to become life-long readers. Whether we help them find nonfiction or fiction, we have to point them to interesting, engaging books that will keep them reading for their own enjoyment throughout their lives.

Why does religion use complicated language?
Page 1 of 1 • Share
Why does religion use complicated language?
If religion is defined as man's pursuit of the knowledge of God, then God is reduced to an academic outcome and, just like any other academic field, religion is fully capable of becoming encumbered with its own vernacular. Almost like ancient Gnosticism, which practiced and promoted the idea of a mystical, special imparted knowledge of God that only a few could know, religion as academic field becomes specialized, with its own words and phrases that quickly distinguish the learned from the not-so-much. The fact is, Jesus Christ did not come to earth to establish a religion. He came to point the way to a relationship between His Father and His creation. Jesus himself was very critical of those who practiced religion but totally missed the relationship—particularly to the Pharisees and other religious leaders of His day. In maybe the clearest statement that focused on the difference between the religious practices of the day and what He had in mind, Jesus said, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: 'THESE PEOPLE HONOR ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEARTS ARE FAR FROM ME. THEY WORSHIP ME IN VAIN; THEIR TEACHINGS ARE BUT RULES TAUGHT BY MEN.' You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men"—Jesus Christ, Mark 7:6-8 (quoting Isaiah 29:13). Later on, in Jerusalem, Jesus made one of His strongest denunciations of the religious establishment: Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cummin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. . . . You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness—Jesus Christ, Matthew 23:23, 27b-28. Certainly there are many appropriate, technical words for what Christianity means, and what Jesus in His death and resurrection has offered us; words like justification, sanctification, atonement, redemption and the like are appropriate to be studied and understood. But in the same way, psychologists and psychiatrists have doubtless written many books and theses on the dynamics of human relationships and friendships. But when you are in the middle of it, simply enjoying your relationship with your best friend, the technical terms are irrelevant, even while they are ongoing. You are just doing what best friends do: spending time together, getting to know each other, growing closer. That's what Jesus came to establish between us and the Father. His desire is not the academic pursuit of understanding. His desire is that we are placed in the middle of that relationship. That's all that matters.

Spring has Sprung!… we think
It's still a little chilly but at least come pretend it's spring with us at Generation Green!
We made our annual trip out to Sage Garden to pick up a fresh stock of their newly packaged non-gmo, organic seeds! We have beans, peas, peppers, carrots, tomato, kale, and more!
Why Sage Garden seeds? Sage Garden offers the largest selection of certified organic seeds in Manitoba, along with heirloom and open pollinated varieties. All seeds are germination and quality tested, and are well suited to a prairie garden. Everything is entirely GMO-free, and their suppliers are partners in the Safe Seeds Pledge.
Wait…. what? Heirloom? Open-pollinated? So heirloom plants rely on natural pollination from insects and wind. The best seeds from every crop are collected for the next one, and they rely on small-scale traditional farming methods. Genetically modified seeds create uniform crops at low cost and are sterile, which prevent them from being passed down. Growing heirloom plants allows the promotion of natural genetic diversity… which our planet ever does need.
The Safe Seed Pledge: Agriculture and seeds provide the basis upon which our lives depend. We must protect this foundation as a safe and genetically stable source for future generations.

I've always been inspired in my work for social justice by an energizing quote from the Unity School of Christianity. It goes like this:
"I fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm, and spring forth with a mighty faith to do the things that ought to be done by me."
Usually, in social justice work, finding people with zeal and enthusiasm is not the hard part; the challenge is in figuring out what the "things that ought to be done by me" might be.
For example, I recently attended a meeting of passionate idealists who had resolved to come together to make a change in their community. They spent the meeting discussing the problems at hand and then brainstormed next steps. The flipchart at the front of the room was full of ideas like "Build bridges," "Fight prejudice," "End corruption." These are all laudable goals, but I struggled to imagine precisely what this group might do to accomplish them. Without a plan of action for achieving specific, tangible goals, the energy around the issues will simply disperse.
To avoid that sort of fizzling, it's important to clearly define the issue you hope to work on. This post, the second installment in our Introduction to Community Organizing series, presents some tips from the Midwest Academy Manual for Activists on how to choose an issue that will engage the enthusiasm of your group and channel it toward concrete, successful action.
The first step in choosing an issue is to understand the difference between an issue and a problem. The people at that meeting were aware of the problems in their community – factionalism, prejudice, corruption – but hadn't yet articulated specific ways to solve them. As the Midwest Academy puts it, "A problem is a broad area of concern. An issue is a solution or partial solution to the problem." You don't organize people around homelessness; you organize them around a bill to allocate more funding to affordable housing programs, or around creating a coalition of churches willing to provide shelter to those who need a place to stay.
Most likely, if you are concerned with large, complex problems like homelessness or hunger, you will not be able to pick one issue that will solve the problem completely; you will need to target one specific facet of the problem. How do you choose that issue? The Midwest Academy suggests many criteria for this process. A good issue should:
Result in Real Improvement in People's Lives. There must be some measurable way to determine whether your work on the issue has succeeded. Are people better off than they were before? On a related note, the issue should be worthwhile. People who sign on to help must feel that their work is going toward something that is worth the effort.
Be Winnable. Don't choose an issue that is so huge and abstract that the end result is unimaginable. Those involved should be able to see, from the beginning, that there is a good chance of succeeding in their efforts.
Be Widely Felt. You need a large base of support, so pick an issue that will appeal to many different people.
Be Deeply Felt. People need to not only agree with your issue, they need to care enough to do something about it.
Be Easy to Understand. If people do not see that the problem you are targeting exists, or if they cannot understand how your solution will contribute to fixing the problem, they are unlikely to support your cause.
Have a Clear Decision Maker. A Decision Maker is a person, such as a Mayor or other elected official, who has the power to give you what you want.
Be Non-Divisive. This does not mean that you can never work on issues that are controversial. However, it's important to frame your issue so that your supporters will be united in working toward a common goal, rather than arguing with each other.
Be Consistent with Your Values and Vision. Does this issue fit with the personal values that guide how you want to live in community with those around you? If you are organizing in the context of your faith community, how does this issue help promote the kind of world that your faith tradition calls on you to help build?

On the note of values and vision, there are plenty of teachings from different faith traditions that encourage us to work on those tasks that are "ours to do" instead of spreading ourselves thin trying to take on everything at once.
For example, from my own Catholic tradition comes the voice of Archbishop Oscar Romero, praying, "We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work. Nothing we do is complete, which is a way of saying that the Kingdom always lies beyond us…We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing that. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord's grace to enter and do the rest."
Or, from the Jewish tradition, there is the concept of tikkun olam. This idea began with a myth about holy vessels that held God's light. These vessels, unable to contain the magnificent light, shattered, and the sparks of light were scattered across the world. Our task as humans is to seek out those sparks where we can find them and gather them up, doing our part to contribute to the repairing of the world. No individual will be able to gather all the sparks, but working together we can find them all eventually.
Whatever the inspiration that guides you to work for social justice, we hope you'll keep following our blog for more Introduction to Community Organizing tips on how to get started doing your part to make the world a better place!
In the meantime, take a look at JRLC's Legislative Goals for 2013. We've chosen the issues where we feel JRLC's work will be most effective; take a moment to brush up on them before Day on the Hill on February 21st!

Violent crimes
What does this measure?
This indicator shows the number of reported serious violent crimes per 10,000 residents. Murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault are included in the serious violent crimes measure.
Why is this important?
Crime affects the quality of life of those who directly experience and witness it, but it also impacts the lives of others within the community, housing stability, and a community's attractiveness as a place to live, work and do business.
How is Dutchess County performing?
In 2016, there were 19 violent crimes reported per 10,000 residents in Dutchess County, reflecting no change from the previous year. This was below the state rate of 24 (excluding NYC), and the regional rate of 21. Dutchess' overall rate has decreased 12% since 2000, compared to a decline of 10% statewide,17% regionally and 24% nationally. Among local areas in Dutchess, the rate was highest in Poughkeepsie at 77 per 10,000 residents in 2016.
Notes about the data
Crime reports are never complete because some crimes, such as rape and assault, are believed to be underreported.

What to expect at Ellon Parish Church
Sunday Worship and our Community
The first time ever (or after some time away) at a church can seem daunting. That's why we have put together some information so that you know what to expect at Ellon Parish Church, and what to do if you are thinking about joining us in some way.
Ellon Parish Church is a vibrant, active, and engaged Christian community. We come together to worship and to live in fellowship with our faith and the people around us. Our primary goal is to be disciples of Jesus Christ and as such we are called to create and develop Christian community so our journeys in faith and life are not undertaken alone.
While our worship services remain the primary focus of our community we recognize the potential barriers some people have to attending whether this is work, sports, or maybe you don't yet feel comfortable coming to a worship service and feel called to participate in a different way. There are many events running throughout the year for people of all ages within the church and community. So no matter your age, whether you are single, a couple, with or without kids, there is something for you at Ellon Parish Church.
Check out our calendar, or our social media accounts to keep up to date with everything that is going on. Pick up a the Bridge Magazine or our parish newsletter which has more information, we also have a mailing list which can keep you up to date and allow you to receive the magazine and newsletter by email!
As with everything else in Ellon Parish Church please get in touch if you have any questions or concerns, we will always try our best to help in whatever way we can.
At all of our worship services you will be greeted with a smile and a welcome from one of our welcome team. They are the first point of contact and can answer any questions you have.
They can help you find a seat, someone to sit with, someone to talk to, or any information you need about our service or our community.
If you would prefer to speak in a more private setting there is a welcome station at the back of the church dedicated to welcoming guests, they can also provide you with support, information, a buddy to sit with, and any help that you might need or want.
There is no such thing as a bad question so please feel free to ask for or about anything and we will try our best to help in whatever way we can.
There are no assigned seats, and nothing is reserved for members, you are welcome, and encouraged to participate in whatever way you feel comfortable.
There is no dress code; we always value comfort over style.
The doors of the church will be open 30 minutes before services begin. You can come any time.

John Idzik acknowledged that he and Darrelle Revis recently had "a nice talk." Other than that, the new New York Jets general manager divulged very little, particularly about the swirling trade rumours involving the star cornerback.
"We won't discuss any supposed talks or true talks or club-to-club talks or player-to-club talks," Idzik said Wednesday during the team's pre-draft news conference.
Revis is entering the last season of his four-year contract signed in 2010, but he is looking for a big payday that would make him one of the highest-paid defensive players in the league. A clause in that deal prevents the Jets from using the franchise or transition tag on him next year, so if he remains unsigned, he would become a free agent in 2014.
As the Jets weigh whether to try to sign him to a contract extension, lose him to free agency next off-season or deal him for high draft picks, Revis has been the subject of rampant trade rumours, with Tampa Bay appearing to be the most likely suitor.
"A trade is certainly a viable option," Idzik said, speaking in general terms. "We will definitely look at any trade possibilities and see if it benefits the Jets."
Revis reported to the team's facility Monday for the first day of the Jets' voluntary off-season conditioning program and has met with Idzik since.
"I've spoken to Darrelle, and we've had a nice talk," Idzik said. "In general, we like to keep these kinds of things among ourselves."
Revis' surgically repaired left knee was looked at by the Jets' doctors, a few hours after having an MRI exam Monday with Dr. Russell Warren, the Giants' team orthopedist, at a hospital in Manhattan. Revis was reportedly cleared by Warren to begin running without restrictions.
Idzik wouldn't go into specifics regarding the results of the exam by team doctors.
"Most of that stuff is going to stay internal, but we're pleased," Idzik said of Revis' progress. "We're pleased with what's going on so far."
Revis tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee last September against Miami and underwent surgery the next month. He has been rehabbing with Fischer Sports in Arizona since, and has indicated that he fully expects to be ready for the start of the regular season.
PACK SIGN CLAY: One big deal done for the Green Bay Packers, one to go.
The Packers locked up star linebacker Clay Matthews with a long-term extension Wednesday as the team took care of one of its top two stars in need of new deals. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is also in negotiations for an extension.
The Packers did not announce terms of the extension, reported to be for five years, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the deal is worth $66 million (U.S.). That would put Matthews on par with Dallas outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware, whose contract also averages $13 million per year.
GREGG ESCHEWS LAWSUIT: Hall of Famer Forrest Gregg says that while he and his neurologist blame concussions for his Parkinson's disease, he's not going to sue the NFL like thousands of other former players.
The 79-year-old says he doesn't begrudge those who have joined the lawsuits but he has his pensions from his playing and coaching days and "I don't need anything from anybody but what I earned."
He said he's an "independent type" and doesn't believe in holding others accountable for his well-being.
"And my experience in the National Football League was good," said Gregg, who is promoting UCB, Inc.'s "Parkinson's More Than Motion" campaign during Parkinson's Awareness Month.

My name is Tenesor. I am from Spain. I moved to Oxnard, CA, 7 months ago.
I would like to find a partner to play tennis during the week days, after 6pm. During the weekends I normally play with my wife, but she can not play during the week days.
I am a beginner, and I really do not know my level, but I think I have a nice level to enjoy a few hours playing tennis. T
I live in Oxnard, but I can also play in Ventura, Camarillo and Port Hueneme. The court where I normally play is Rio Lindo Park.
