Scarborough is a small town on the coast of England. The "Scarborough Fair" was a popular gathering in Medieval times, attracting traders and entertainers from all over the country. The fair lasted 45 days and started every August 15th. In the 1600s, mineral waters were found in Scarborough and it became a resort town. Today, Scarborough is a quiet town with a rich history.

In Medieval England, this became a popular folk song as Bards would sing it when they traveled from town to town. The author of the song is unknown, and many different versions exist. The traditional version has many more lyrics.
Paul Simon learned about this song when he was on tour in England, where he heard a version by a popular folk singer named Martin Carthy. When Carthy heard Simon & Garfunkel's rendition, he accused Simon of stealing his arrangement. Carthy and Simon did not speak until 2000, when Simon asked Carthy to perform this with him at a show in London. Carthy put his differences aside and did the show.
Martin Carthy learned the song from a Ewan MacColl songbook, and had recorded it on his first album, according to BBC's Patrick Hamphries.
Paul Simon admitted to the July 2011 edition of
magazine: "The version I was playing was definitely what I could remember of Martin's version, but he didn't teach it to me. Really, it was just naivety on my part that we didn't credit it as his arrangement of a traditional tune. I didn't know you had to do that. Then later on, Martin's publisher contacted me and we made a pretty substantial monetary settlement that he was supposed to split with Martin, But unbeknown to me, Martin got nothing."
The lyrics are about a man trying to attain his true love. In Medieval times, the herbs mentioned in the song represented virtues that were important to the lyrics. Parsley was comfort, sage was strength, rosemary was love, and thyme was courage.
This was not released as a single until 1968, when it was used in the Dustin Hoffman movie
The Graduate
. It is on the soundtrack.
Before Simon & Garfunkel got to it, Bob Dylan used the lines, "Remember me to one who lives there, she once was a true love of mine" in his 1963 song "
Girl From The North Country
"Scarborough Fair" and "Canticle" are two songs that are sung simultaneously to create this piece. The first and last verses are "Scarborough Fair," but lines from "Canticle" alternate after the first line of the other verses, so "On the side of a hill in a deep forest green" and "Tracing of sparrow on snow-crested ground" are from "Canticle."
This song is often listed as "Scarborough Fair/Canticle." On
The Paul Simon Songbook
, a little-known 1965 UK album of Simon-solo demos, there is a song called "The Side Of a Hill," which was reworked into the Canticle part of "Scarborough Fair."

With its implicit anti-Vietnam War message, this was used in
The Wonder Years
TV series in a scene where Kevin Arnold embraces Winnie Cooper while the song was played at the end of the episode. In the show, Winnie's brother had been killed in Vietnam.

Danny maybe you can find what you are looking for via the library system. quite often they have song books you can check out. also maybe someone who has played guitar and knows the song well knows the words. I have the same problem you have with one of my fav Judds songs, Rocking With The Rhythm Of The Rain.
Thomas from Arkansas
Between the original content text and all u commenters, I just learned a helluva lot about this song. Thanks to both. Has anybody mentioned that this can be sung as a round? My wife and I were doing it once (as a round) when we pulled in to get gas. The station attendant who came to our window (yes, they has such people in those days even outside of NJ) had to wait until we got to a good stopping place. Nice memory.
Mark from United States
Danny - Bronx, Ny, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BakWVXHSug has the full lyrics, and is quite understandable. Thought this might be of help.
Barry from Sauquoit, Ny
On February 24th 1968, "Scarborough/Canticle" by Simon and Garfunkel entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #61; and on April 14th it peaked at #11 (for 1 week) and also spent 11 weeks on the Top 100...
It spent four weeks at #13 before jumping to #11...
Though it just missed making the Top 10; the duo's next four releases did (starting with "Mrs. Robinson" (#1 for 3 weeks), "The Boxer" (#7), "Bridge Over Troubled Water (#1 for 6 weeks), and finally "Cecilia" (#4)...
Mr. Simon & Mr. Garfunkel will celebrate their 73rd birthdays in the fall, Mr. Simon on October 13th and Mr. Garfunkel one month later on November 5th.
Dawn from Orangevale, Ca, Ca
I have read the posts and know alot about his song as it has always been one of my favorites. This is a song about one who misses his lover and wants to be with her, however there are differences. Traditionally this was sung probably as a duet. The man inquires if his friend is going to the fair and if he sees his former lover, "remember me to her". He wants her to make him a shirt without seams or needle work, an impossible task. She wants an acre of land between the water and the sand, again an impossible task. She asks him to plant and reap it in a way that is once again impossible. Reference to the herbs is reference to the strength they were thought to posess at the time. The critical missing verse from the S and G version goes something like Love imposes impossible tasks (parsely sage rosemary and thyme) But not no more than any heart asks...And I know she's a true love of mine.
Danny from Bronx, Ny
Are the lyrics to the "Canticle" portion available anywhere? Some of the lines are from "The Side of a Hill", but some are not, like "in the deep forest green". Some of the words are hard to hear, since they are sung simultaneously with the main lyrics of "Scarborough Fair". As far as I know, they have never been published, and I am wondering why.
Dryattz from Atlanta, Ga
Jesse: Indeed, it IS harpsichord! Played by John Meszar, and exquisitely well, I believe. The interplay with the guitar is just gorgeous. . .
L from Yardley, Pa
SiriusXM is currently dedicating an S&G channel, and one of the bits of trivia they're reporting is that Artie wrote Canticle. I've also always thought it was from "The Side of a Hill".
Jesse from Madison, Wi
I wasn't in the studio when they recorded this fine hit, but I'm really thinking that the boys (or the producer, or SOMEONE) was playing a harpsichord to REALLY give it that haunting tone about it. That would be at the point when it builds to its mid-point crescendo. I speed-read all the comments and nobody seems to point out that fact. Mandolin? Maybe. But I'm much more thinking harpsichord. That is such a fine instrument! And the way it's played in this song just fascinates me to no end! The fast fingerwork has always been difficult for me, being a drummer. It should be easy, but maybe I'm double-jointed in a bad way or something. My wrists are conditioned to all get-out, but my fingers can't work independently. Any knowledge on that? I'm thinkin' harpsichord...
Eiko from Yokosuka, Japan
After reading your comments here, it just ocurred to me what if the singer himself is a dead soldier
singing from 'elsewhere' to us in this world.
This beautiful yet so sorrowful voice of Art and all those impossible tasks then all come together
to make sense to me. S & G may have taken this

Chuck from Oceanside, Ny
The only real relation this song has to the Vietnam War is when it was released (1966-7). The anti-war sentiment in the Canticle overlap uses imagery from a British military campaign, possibly of the American Revolutionary War (speculative). "Tracing a sparrow on snow crested ground" refers to foraging for food during mid-winter. The clarion call and the "blazing in scarlet battalions" clearly point to British military tradition of that time. As for the Scarborough Fair portion of the song it points to an era earlier still which points out a series of impossible tasks to his/her intended subject in exchange for love. Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme were used in embalming, purification, and to ward off evil spirits for sometime before that. The song has roots deeper still in the Scottish ballad of the Elfin Knight which may date back as far as the 1200's.
I think that the song/s, taken in context with the time it was released give us a look at the timelessness of loss and war extending into our own era. Genius and relevance sadly absent in most of the music today.
Jessy from Beirut, Lebanon
I personally feel that the narrator blames his lover for just leaving him unexpectedly. But the more I read up about this song's history and origins, the more I'm convinced she died at war, although the narrator keeps that a total mystery, intentionally choosing not to mention anything at all about the war to begin with. As a result, he feels blue without her, and misses her greatly, telling her that he'd forgive her and take her back, and everything would be okay again, if she could just do these impossible tasks. He even makes it sound as though he has blind faith in her, and that although the tasks seem difficult, he has confidence that her love for him is so strong and deep that she would keep diligently persevering and trying again and again and again for the sake of carrying out the tasks to prove she is worthy of his love. And the beauty about that fact is that the herbs that are constantly reiterated throughout the lyrics "parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" represent noble virtues such as courage, wisdom, purity, faithfulness and love: Virtues which he desperately reminds his lover of, primarily for the sake of reassuring her that he is certain she will complete the tasks and be his beloved again. However, these herbs have also been known to be used for burial rituals and ceremonies...so the narrator keeps that double meaning consistent throughout the entire song, on the one hand talking to his loved one, on the other mentioning the herbs associated with death until at the very end, he finally realizes, no matter how faithful his lover was, regretfully, she is now long gone. I guess I saw that in the last stanza, he finally gave up. He asks her one last time if she was going to Scarborough Fair, a place where they possibly first met (it was a famous fair that often lasted 45 days) and it's almost as if he finally becomes physically aware of her passing, so he speaks "parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme" for the last time, asking his beloved to come out of her grave, take him with her, and bury him with the herbs that formerly stood for all the virtues their love had once embodied.
Mike from Franklin County, Pa
The song "Scarborough Fair" was just as popular during the Medieval Period of England in the 16th and 17th Century (1500s and 1600s)as the other two popular songs "Greensleeves" and "Early One Morning" . Back then the four spices , "Parsley , Sage , Rosemary , Thyme" were widely known herbs commonly used in everyday cooking as a seasoning for meat and fish and poultry . This song was sang at the known fair in Scarborough , England possibly around the spring or summer season . A merchant of the village would sing this song not only to the crowd of tourists , but also to the fair maidens ( the young women in the village they had hearts set on ). The singer would charm her by playing this beautiful melody on the mandolin (as the guitar - like instrument was used during that time )and singing the words to her , in order to show his love and effection .
Steve Dotstar from Los Angeles, Ca
S&G make this song sound very wonderful!
TY, guys!
John from Kampala, Uganda
I first heard the song(s)in 1968 in Kampala-two years before entry into University in Dustin Hoffman's film 'The Graduate.' It haunted me for a long time. Listening to it again in 1977 when I was in Nairobi as a refugee cathartic.
Sean from Brockton, Ma
I believe the comment about Bob Dylan's lyrics is backwards - HE got the lyrics from the one of the "original" versions of the Scarborough fair song, not he other way around. He used lyrics from poems/literature for many of his songs (Jack Kerouac, etc..)
Fred from Laurel, Md
This song needs to be re-listed as Scarborough Fair/Canticle, because that's the way it appears on the original recording, and it is truly two songs sung with partially overlapping lines. *** Andy/Corning,NY -- actually, you've got 'em backwards--S.Fair is the love (or lost-love) song, while Canticle is anti-war. As for which war, the mood/style seems to me more evocative of the US Civil War. But since it came out when it did, it was taken as anti-VN War, and was no doubt intended that way.
Chris from Sault Ste Marie, Mi
I always felt this song was referring to a dead (soldier) who wishes his lover to prepare him for burial.
Christina from New York, Ny
Don't know if anyone said this, but I know some spoke of the parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme representing traits that one would want in a lover/spouse. Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme was also a popular love potion in the medeival period.
Sarah from Madison, Wi
this has to be the most beautiful song i have ever heard. love simon & garfunkel! i think he's talking about someone who he used to love, but his love for her died and he can basically never love her again. i agree with john from kansas. he says that if she does all these impossible tasks then they can be together again, so pretty much its not going to happen. anyways its a beautiful song about love
Daniel from Staten Island, Ny
There was only one time they performed Scarborough Fair live with Canticle and that was performed on the Andy Williams show. Simon and Garfunkel and Andy Willams peformed it.
Emilia from Gdańsk, Poland
you can hear a piece of this in lost in translation movie, its the second or third evening in the bar
John from Overland Park, Ks
I think this was the singer's way of saying, "If she's thinking of us getting back together, it'll happen after she does these tasks... in short, she can forget it."
Kent from Raleigh, Nc
Part of the "haunting" sound of this song comes from its use of a Dorian scale as opposed to a "regular" Major or Minor.
Joanie from Bowling Green, Ky
It seems to me all the tasks he sets for his lover to do are impossible, then she'll be a true love of mine. Such as making a shirt with no seams or needlework, reaping a land with a sickle made of leather!, and an acre of land between the salt water and the sea's strand, etc, all are impossible tasks.
John from Hickory, Nc
There seems to me to be two separate streams of thought throughout this song. One from the point of view of a observer of the war and another from the point of view of a dying soldier. Lines such as ?And to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten? appear to be general comments on the war itself, where lines like ?Tell her to make me a cambric shirt? would be more from a specific individual. This line in particular seems interesting in that immediately following it after the chorus is the line ?Without no seams nor needle work?, which kind of makes you wonder what exactly he is referring to (ignoring the double negative). Perhaps this could be alluding to a death shroud of some sort. I think the idea that a dying soldier is at least responsible for some of the words is easy enough to see when his love ?Washes the grave with silvery tears?. I am sure some of this is obvious to most, but I would be interested in other points of view.
Tony from Boston, Ma
Real meaning of Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme:
Parsley, is said to take away bitterness. Medieval doctors took this in a spiritual sense as well. Sage is a symbol strength for thousands of years. Rosemary represents faithfulness, love and remembrance, and the custom of a bride wearing twigs of rosemary in her hair is still practiced in England and several other European countries today. Thyme symbolizes courage, and at the time this song was written, knights would often wear images of thyme on their shields when they went to combat. The speaker in the song, by mentioning these four herbs, wishes his true love mildness to soothe the bitterness which is between them, strength to stand firm in the time of their being apart from each other, faithfulness to stay with him during this period of loneliness and paradoxically courage to fulfill her impossible tasks and to come back to him by the time she can.
I got this information from the encyclopedia.
Leya Qwest from Anchorage, Ak
Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 had a super hit in 1969 with their own interpretation of this great song. The small combo's touch of light jazz, bossa nova and rich vocal harmonies in SF continues to make for pleasant listening among New Millinnium worldbeat listeners as it did for those of pre-Age of Aquarius pop music enthusiasts. There is nothing finer than smooth, silk voices and a cool, gracious instrumental in the group's own construction. Instead of lulling you away like Paul and Art do, Sergio gently massages your soul with his cover tune. Suave is cool!
Dennis from Chicagoland Burrows, Il
Rosemary is the herb of rememberance
Jan from Berlin, Germany
The herbs mentioned in the chorus were commonly used as a contraceptive; an extract of them would be used for abortions, administered by midwives. The process was quite dangerous, menacing not only the unborn's life, but also the mother's. Therefore it may well be that the line in the song/ballad is a reference to this fact. However, I read (about the ballad) that this very line can only be traced back to the nineteenth century and may actually be a corruption of something like "every heart grows merry in time".
Eric from Teaneck, Nj
In 1971, an Israeli group called The Parvarim recorded an album of Hebrew cover versions of Simon and Garfunkel songs. The translations were mostly accurate, but for "Scarborough Fair," the Hebrew words for "parsley, sage, etc." didn't fit into the music, so the spices were changed to "cinnamon, jasmine and myrrh."
Eric from Teaneck, Nj
The "Canticle" part of the song, originally written alone as "The Side of a Hill" and later juxtaposed with "Scarborough Fair," is an anti-war ballad.
Tanja from Frankfurt, Germany
Cainticle partially is a later version of "On the Side of a Hill" (Songbook)
It was fun when a friend and I tried to write our own voices for the song and it sounded quite nice after a while, but I'm sure there will never be a version even half as great as the one of S&G!
Billy from Plymouth, Nh
A song of love, a song for love. I loved, we sang, S&G were our favourites. I enjoy faires nowadays, & I always engage a Bard to play this. For Emily, wherever she may be.
This song is an instant misty eyed nostalgia trip down memory lane. Emily, thank you always.
Nikki from Remington, Va
As previoulsy stated, this was based on ballad, the author and date written unknown.
Where are you going? To Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
Remember me to a bonny lass there,
For once she was a true lover of mine.
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
Without any needle or thread work'd in it,
And she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to wash it in yonder well,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
Where water ne'er sprung nor a drop of rain fell,
And she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to plough me an acre of land,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
Between the sea and the salt sea strand,
And she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to plough it with one ram's horn,
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme,
And sow it all over with one peppercorn,
And she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to reap it with a sickel of leather,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
And tie it up all with a tom tit's feather,
And she shall be a true lover of mine.
Tell her to gather it all in a sack,
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
And carry it home on a butterflies back,
And then she shall be a true lover of mine.
Jude from Thomasville, Ga
I have always enjoyed this song. It was really beautiful when Simon and Garfunkel performed it at the Concert in Central Park. I also remember Simon performing it on the Muppet Show just so Miss Piggy could bellow, "Getcher red hot parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme!!" at the end of it. When we use these herbs in cooking, we call the dish "a la Simon and Garfunkel".
Lance from Spring Hill, Fl
When I saw Art Garfunkel, he mentioned to the audience that this song was about loss.
Mark from Hereford, England
Paul Simon was living in England for a while, scratching a living round the folk circuit. He heard Scarborough fair from Martin Carthy. Dylan also heard the song from him, and turned it into 'Girl from the North Country'. As an extra fact, Paul Simon had played at a club in Widnes and was getting a train back to London from the next town, Runcorn. On this windswept station he wrote 'Homeward Bound'.
Stefanie Magura from Rock Hill, Sc
Beautiful song. I always thought it was a love song. Maybe about lost love.
Ashley from Magnolia , De
I always thought the song referred to death, only because it not only mentioned spices used for embalming but some other referrences too.
Andrew from Kingston, Canada
I too get teary at times when I hear this song. To me it brings images of soldiers and their loved ones being seperated by the evil of war, but even admist this evil, their love prevails. It's ultimately a song of hope, I think, or a prayer for comfort, strength, love and courage.
But it seems deeper than that, I don't know. On another note, I've been learning how to perfect this song on guitar for a while.
Joe from Scarborough, England
Scarborough fair was actually closed down cos of a riot (when a load of hardcores wouldny get off the rides after closin time) last year we don't know if it will be back...
Chloe from Hampshire, England
I feel like crying every time I hear this song. They played it at the funeral of my cousin who died in a rock climbing accident.
Thomas from St. Charles, Mo
I heard somewhere that Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme are also ward against the devil. Supposedly this song was some sort of riddle posed by the devil.
This song is the most peaceful song ive ever heard while smoking marijuana. It's not bad sober either.
Tiffany from Dover, Fl
I played this song with my school orchestra in eighth grade.
Rudi from Melbourne, Australia
parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme were/are actually spices used in a pagan love spell.
Chris from Hamilton, New Zealand
as they fight for a cause that was long ago forgotten. great line
Chris from Hamilton, New Zealand
one of my all time fave lines is in this song
Andy from Corning, Ny
One part of the song "Scarborough Fair", is a song about war (anti-vietnam). The other part of the song, "Canticle", is a love song. Basicly, Canticle is played "louder" then "scarborough Fair" is.
Randy from Beaumont, Tx
In the syncopation, the song underneath "Scarborough Fair" is an anti-war (Viet Nam) song... so the song is much in the same vein as their "7 o'closk news/silent Night".. and given this context was completely misused in the movie.
Noelene from Brisbane, Australia
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme were spices that were used in Europe during the Middle Ages when preparing a body for burial.
- Gemma, Brisbane, Australia.
Gerard from Sheffield, England
the stone roses use this tune for 'elizabeth my dear' on the album 'stone roses'

Throughout a fire company's history there are always a few calls which stand out. Calls that are never forgotten and are handed down from generation to generation.
A train wreck involving tank cars resulted in a BLEVE.
Two tank cars were of major concern to arriving units. A tank car of Chlorine gas and one filled with propane. Burning cars on the proximity of these tank cars were the focus of the incident. Firefighters had been cooling the propane tank car via sweeping hose streams and master streams. Upon arrival, county and state officials ordered all streams to be "Tied down" and the area evacuated .The resulting mushroom cloud could be seen for miles. Several firefighters received radiant burns; the county official was severely injured. Hundreds of feet of 2 1/2 hose and other equipment was left unusable. Pieces of the tank car which failed are said to still be in the mountain in the area of Indian Peg Road.
The Grantham Aircraft Engine Works – April 28-29, 1956 This building once stood in the area of what is now Messiah College. This fire went to seven alarms. Large amounts of burning magnesium and other exotic metals hampered suppression efforts. More information can be found at: http://upperallenfire.com/wp/wp-content/aircraft.pdf
Arch Street School July 29, 1972Fire broke out around noon. First arriving units found the bell tower and part of the roof well involved. Lower Allen Township's Ladder Truck is shown operating.
Thomas Printing January 12, 1903
Updegraf's Bowling Alley – March 31, 1956North Market Street and Railroad Crossing Three young lives were lost in this tradegy
Harry D Shearer Age 2
Michael Shearer Age 4
Joann Shearer Age 8
The resulting public outcry leads to the first purchase of breathing apparatus in the Borough
Rakestraw's Ice Cream August 21, 1991 One of Mechanicsburg's best known landmarks, Rakestraw's Ice Cream Factory was intentionally sent a blaze by a disgruntled employee. This was the last borough fire to reach 4th alarm status with units from just about every municipality in eastern Cumberland County lending assistance. The employee who started the fire was found guilty of arson and jailed for his crime. After a tremendous rebuilding effort the Ice Cream Shop reopened and is once again visited by thousands each year.

Bed bugs are some of the most tenacious pests that can infest a typical home or apartment building. Often times it takes several attempts to fully remove them, since they tend to burrow into every upholstered item in the home. Not only this, but they also lay their eggs in droves so even after all living bugs are killed, there may be a resurgence weeks later. Landlords and tenants often turn to professional pest control to effectively exterminate the pests.
Landlords and lawmakers are fighting over the responsibility of removing bed bugs from buildings. Members of the Chicago Housing Committee are pushing legislation that would cost landlords $1,000 per day that they do not seek professional pest control to rid their buildings of bed bugs. Landlords, however, are complaining that it takes the entire building's tenants' cooperation to remove the bed bugs. If even one tenant does not thoroughly clean his of her clothing and other personal items, the building may become infested again and the process will repeat. One landlord claimed he had tried several times to remove the pests but to no avail since the tenants did not follow instructions. He was forced to call the exterminator again.
Tenants in all manner of living arrangements are feeling the consequences of bed bug infestation. While the insects do not directly cause disease in their victims, they do drink their blood and can cause painful rashes for some who are allergic. In some cases, these allergic reactions can even weaken the immune system enough to allow potentially serious infections to develop.
Urban menace
Beg bugs have a particularly easy time traveling from home to home in the city since they are able to gain transportation with people unnoticed. Bed bugs will often hide in a person's clothes and can thus travel between places like apartments, offices, movie theaters and hotels. Infested furniture also tends to get thrown out and this discarded furniture is often picked up by people who are unaware of the risk, says a fact sheet from Chicago's Safer Pest Control Project. Any item discarded with bed bugs in it should be marked as such to avoid spreading the pest.
The sheet also recommends talking to a pest control professional before using any chemicals or throwing anything out. Certain chemicals may be harmful and many items can be salvaged from bed bugs.

Yes, I agree some days it`s a struggle to see the beauty in life (pipes bursting and all!). But it`s certainly there in the little things.ReplyDelete
And those sweet kids would definitely brighten anyone`s day - love the skirt!!
This blog post was like a gentle exhale for my soul. I can hear peaceful positivity in your voice and I love the photos that you chose to capture. The days are made up of moments, and we can only hang on to a moment for a short while. So whether it is fun, sad, lively, or dull, it is just that--a moment. You have become so strong with what you've had to handle. And remember, the rear view mirror is small, we need it to see, to stay safe, and to glance back from time to time, but the wind shield is large--there is so much more to see, to do, and to take in as we move forward. Enjoy that coffee!ReplyDelete
Lately it's been hard to get out of the darkness and see the light and beauty in my life. I know that I need to keep moving forward and make more of an effort to see all my blessings. Thank you for posting this. Thinking of you <3ReplyDelete
Yes! It all makes up the stuff of life; the good, the bad, the joy and the sorrow. Good for you in trying to see the beauty--ReplyDelete
I wish you the best of Valentine´s Days - take care!ReplyDelete
I often find that when things are down in the dumps and I think they can't get any worse, there's usually one more calamity that makes me throw up my hands and laugh that it's all so bad it's comical... and then suddenly life seems to start 'working' and going more smoothly.

A Negative Implication Concerning the Resurrection
In the past my reflections on the resurrection have been decidedly positive. In fact, I do not think I posted one blog entry that indicated anything negative about the resurrection or its implications. But I want to consider here something that at least I believe is a negative implication that the resurrection or, perhaps better, the disciples' belief in Jesus' resurrection birthed.
For this to make sense you must understand that for the past year I have been probing into the origins of anti-semitism/anti-judaism, especially in its relation to the event of the Holocaust (or Shoah as most Jews refer to it as). That thousands of years of Jewish hatred perpetuated by Christianity made the soil fertile for the rational, racial anti-semitism that led to the slaughter of nearly all of European Jewry (1/3 of the global Jewish population at the time) is not a difficult conclusion to arrive at. However, pinpointing the origins of Jew hatred is another matter altogether.
Some try to locate the origins of Jew hatred in the pre-Christian era, especially in Alexandrian Egypt. Ostensibly cited in support of pre-Christian anti-semitism/judaism are a handful of Greco-Roman writers who often speak derisively about the Jews, especially concerning their customs which tended to isolate them from the rest of society (this is why the charge of misanthrope was often leveled against them). But more often than not it seems to me that those who push for this option do so for apologetically motivated reasons such as the desire to exculpate any role that nascent Christianity, especially the writings of the NT, may have played in the fomenting of anti-semitic/anti-Judaic strains of thought. On the other hand there are others (cf. Rosemary Ruether's Faith and Fratricide for a good example of this) who wish to lay full blame on nascent Christianity and who further perceive the NT to be crawling with anti-Jewish rhetoric. The truth is, I believe, somewhere in between but I do not wish to deal with that in this post.
Nevertheless, without a doubt one of the greatest sources for the development of the immense Jew hatred which characterized Europe for roughly two thousand years was the supersessionistic attitude of the Church toward Judaism in its first few centuries. But from where did the notion of supersessionism arise? This belief followed quite naturally from the notion that Christianity constituted the fulfillment of the promises made to Israel of old. But then we must ask what gave rise to the conviction that God's promises had been fulfilled? I believe the principle motivation for this belief which colors the NT was the disciples' fervent belief that God had raised Jesus from the dead.
The resurrection of the dead in Second-Temple Judaic thought was understood as involving a general resurrection of the dead at the end of the present age. There is no evidence that Jews believed in isolated resurrections from the dead but rather viewed the resurrection as an a pan encompassing act which would take place in the new aeon. Thus when the disciples came to believe that Jesus had been raised from the dead and when this belief was combined with their experience of the apocalyptic tenor of Jesus' message, it is pretty clear that they would have come to believe that the promises were being fulfilled, especially since they would have thought that the resurrection of everybody else was just around the corner. (I have explicated this point elsewhere more fully: beginning with this post)
Thus, it was ultimately the resurrection (plus Jesus' apocalyptic message) or, rather, the disciples belief in the resurrection of Jesus which was the catalyst for the notion that the promises of old had been or were being fulfilled. However, much time eventually passed and the general resurrection of the dead was not forthcoming nor was the new age for that matter. Israel was not restored and evil still reigned throughout the world. But Christianity could not bring itself to give up the notion that it was the fulfillment of Israel of old. This then led to supersessionistic modes of thinking which contributed in a significant way to the overall Adversus Judeaus tradition of the Church which made the route towards Jew hatred and Jew demonization much smoother.
In conclusion then there is a real sense in which the resurrection of Jesus has contributed to anti-semitic and anti-Judaic modes of thought. For someone like myself who has prized the place of the resurrection in Christian thought this is certainly a disturbing thought but true nonetheless.

More than 20 people have applied for the top executive post of the Disciplinary Commission, and the commission now may allow others to apply while it begins a review process expected to take at least two months.
The nine-member attorney-discipline arm of the Indiana Supreme Court met Feb. 12 to review about 20 applications received by the Jan. 29 deadline, according to court public information officer Kathryn Dolan. Members are trying to determine how to proceed and "may opt" to allow others to apply, Dolan said. A meeting hasn't been set yet for March or April, she said. No reason was given for why more applications may be accepted.
Members are searching for someone to fill a vacancy created at the start of 2010 when Don Lundberg, longtime executive secretary, left that post after 18 years to become a partner and deputy general counsel at Indianapolis-based law firm Barnes & Thornburg. In mid-December, the commission appointed staff attorney Seth T. Pruden to serve as interim executive secretary until a permanent leader is named.
The last time this process happened was in the early 1990s, and neither the court nor commission was able to locate information about how many attorneys applied for the post that Lundberg ultimately received or how long the process took at that time.
North Vernon attorney and commission chair Corinne Finnerty earlier this week declined to speak about the current review process, saying she wasn't comfortable discussing even general information about timeline, logistics, or number of applicants because commission members want to respect applicants' confidentiality.
The commission conducts the review process and will ultimately recommend finalists to the Indiana Supreme Court for consideration. No timeline exists for this to happen, but Dolan expects the commission will be able to offer a more concrete timeline by mid-April on where the process stands.

Good afternoon. I had the pleasure of hiring your 1928 ford Limo on Saturday for my daughters ball. I would just like to say how impressed I was with the service we received on Saturday. I am sorry can't remember the drivers name but he was extremely professional and friendly.
My daughter Jessica commented when she got home from the ball that he was really great with them all. Jess was very impressed with they way he looked out for them all, especially after the ball he wasn't able to park right out the front of venue so he walked up to meet them then offered to go get the car but the kids just decided to walk with him back to to the car. Nothing seemed to be to much effort for him.
I will highly recommend your services to anyone. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that we were very happy with everything, the car as beautiful as well. Thanks again. Tracie Perth School Ball Limo Hire 27/2/2016

Nike+ FuelBand SE UK Launch
posted by Yin on 02/11/2013
For me it's always about encapsulating the product/service benefits into the experience so the user goes home understanding what it will do to enhance their life. The first one was ground-breaking with its slick design and functionality – a cut above the rest at the time. Now two years on, numerous competitor products have emerged so what have Nike done to improve it? Slightly tweaking the design but most of the huge changes take place behind the scenes with the app functionality and new features such as sessions and groups to keep users much more engaged.
Before I even start on the day's activities, it's only right that I share a bit about the new updated product. It's a massive step up from the original release and don't worry, it feels a lot more robust but only time will tell if that's the case.
Introduced by SkySports News presenter Charlie Webster, Stefan Olander, VP of Nike's Digital Sport category took to the stage to talk about the rich new experience. NikeFuel is very much at the heart of the entire experience and is a single, universal metric to measure all kinds of activities from a morning workout, crazy night out to cooking. There's over a billion points earned on a daily basis – the NikeFuel team analysed over a year's worth of data to fine-tune the algorithms to deliver a more accurate measurement of your movement.
Excuse the photography. Dimly lit room during the presentation, lack of flash means noise but we love noise – right? Back to the FuelBand, Stefan announced the several new additions that'll be coming to the firmware so original FuelBand users will be to update their software to get most of the new functionality except the Bluetooth LE which is only in the SE edition.
Here's some of the hardware upgrades that I won't bother breaking down for y'all:
Bluetooth 4.0 technology connects the Nike+ FuelBand SE automatically and seamlessly with the Nike+ FuelBand App. Improved water resistance and the iconic, easy-to-wear design allow the Nike+ FuelBand SE to go almost everywhere. A redesigned circuit board provides greater flexibility and an internally-enhanced, simple one-button design drives the super bright LED.
Now to break down the new features:
• Sessions
Easily the best new feature, especially for the gym junkies like myself. You know when you have leg day at the gym and earn next to nothing points? That'll be fixed with this new feature as it allows users to start and mark sessions which uses set algorithms to figure how much Fuel you earned from the activity. Easily my favourite addition!
• Win the Hour
An hourly reminder and your motivation partner to keep you moving throughout your day. The FuelBand SE tracks how much movement you've made in the past hour and it'll remind you to move more. Get off your lazy ass.
• Fuel Rate
Fuel Rate tracks the rate at which NikeFuel rate is being earned. It's one that the new Bluetooth technology enables for real time numeral readout on the Nike+ FuelBand app. Using the colours from red to green to indicate how well you're doing – know how intensely you move is key to optimising activities through out the day.
• Groups
This part reminds me of Path – a closed network of friends who you'll be able to communicate, workout and share milestones with each other. Essentially it's there to create competition with friends and create more of a socially active network. Like in Nike+ Running app: users will be able to cheer and work together towards a common goal.
• Double Tap for Time
WIN. Glad they've resolved this issue, having to click 3 times to get to time was a hassle. New userflow makes life a lot easier with a simple double tap.
• Milestones
Plenty more milestones have been added for users and you'll also get rewarded for sessions, streaks and hours won as well. There's also a new Games section to unlock new achievements at each milestone.
You can find out more on the new release here.
Lord knows I struggled with the one handed cycling/shoot technique.
The second location. Heading down into a crypt where a number of challenges await.
First challenge was skipping and man, I can't skip to save my life. Just looked rather special trying to skip, one jump at a time. So ended up doing just jumping around with the instructor without the skipping rope. Rather SPECIAL if you say so.
Antonin Fourneau's spectacular Water Light Graffiti was our next challenge. The combination of water and electricity is usually deadly but this artist has found a way to safely activate LEDs with water. All of us were given two minutes to come up with a creation of our choice and obviously I tried to be ambitious with my Anime styling drawing. It didn't quite work out as you can't get super intricate with the board. My second attempt was way more straight forward – just my name. So creative right?
I missed out on photographing two of the other challenges, boxing and drumming. Boxing with Sonja Moses was intense but fun – certainly broke out a sweat and easily the highest Fuel earning activity. We headed off on the tandem back to Ice Tank…
First challenge was awesome: cycling to make your smoothie with East London collective Look Mum No Hands! and I won. Well it wasn't really a competition but I definitely wanted to get the most points. Secret tactic, swing FuelBand arm while cycling. I ended up with 50 more points than the other 3 – not cheating. Legit multitasking. #winning
Up next: coffee grinding with Dunne Frankowski , the creative coffee consultancy. I'm a BIG coffee fan but in recent months I've slowly started cutting it out, think I've probably only had 4 coffees since July. I've never had the opportunity to grind it myself, it's all about technique and speed. Once you nail the former, the speed comes. Definitely an interesting challenge and high Fuel earning one as it's all about the wrist turning action.
The final lifestyle challenge was crepe-making with the good people from Shutterbug LDN which involved whisking all the ingredients together to create the perfect crepe mix. No bits. The guy standing next to me had 30 more points than the rest of us, why? He's a former chef which gave him an unfair advantage. His whisking game tekkers were on another level and my evidently lack of kitchen skills shone through. That was the end of all the challenges, a nice way to start your day right? From a little fitness to more quirky challenges to help us understand what the new FuelBand SE offers and how much more accurate it'll be for other activities that uses less hand movement. Before the end of the event, I had the opportunity to sit down with Stefan Olander. Slightly geeked out and also rather nervous seeing as my boss was sat a couple metres away. I can't be letting down the company in front of a client haha. Work/passion project overlap is always fun.
Right let's get to it. Since it was a one person interview, I was far too busy asking the questions to be taking the photographs!
Stefan, what's your Fuel score looking like today?
Stefan: Let's check, I think it'll be pretty good. I've won 5 hours and I've got 2369 so far.
That's pretty sweet, did you do any of the challenges?
Stefan: No but I've been up since early, walked over to the venue and have been moving around since.
So I had to ask the question that everyone wanted to know the answer to…
In terms of product design and stability – how is this version more robust than v1? I've had a few that have broken in the past.
Stefan: You learn a lot when you put out first generation products for everything; how do people bend it? what happens if they use the button 57 times a day, what happens if its in salt water and exposed to sun lotion – all that leads to learnings. You can't lab test all of that so we've taken all of those learnings and added them into the design of the new product. We've moved around the layers in the flexible printed circuit, changed out the way the flex plug work so it's not quite as rigid and puts pressure in certain parts of the construction. All that are things under the hood that makes the product way more robust and that's a natural evolution of coming out with a second generation product.
For me, I've started wearing it as a fashion product. It fits in well with my wrist accessories – what has changed to keep users more engaged after the initial honeymoon period? A whole bunch of my friends were hyped at first but slowly lost touch over the space of a few months.
Stefan: As you've seen today, a lot of learnings are around that. When you've started to know that the average day is around 3000/4000 points, you've reached a new level of enlightenment in terms of how active you are then you need something more. What's cool about Groups for instance is that you have motivation through your friends, what's good about sessions – you can get more credit for your workouts. Adding more of those things combined with a movement philosophy where you become aware it's not just about hitting your goal but it's how I hit my goal. It's those things combined create a different longevity in the experience thus far. Another thing is the fact that you don't have to manually sync any more and it's just there doing it all for you. You can now get push notifications that let you know you've started a session and it pulls you back into the app.
It seems a lot faster now. Has the app size changed at all? I asked this because the last one was a tiny bit clunky. I ended up syncing more with my desktop version.
Stefan: We can check that – I think it's around the same. The radio protocols get better all the time, like the way it works with wifi and the device (iPhone) has improved. We also tried to make sure that we don't pack it with heavy animations inside the app.
In future, will users be allowed to use Fuel to get offers/access into exclusives? I know it's something that's commonly asked, let's say I get a 2 million Fuel points in the space of a year. What can I do with them? aside from track how well I'm doing against my friends.
Stefan: So that's another thing we're working on back at campus. We're making sure that when you reach a milestone, we can give you something special. We're working on a couple different concepts from being able to a buy a unique product if you're a Fuel millionaire; Nike isn't about giving discounts or things like that but you can get limited access to Niketown NYC only for people with few million Fuel points. We're building up a platform for rewards but we want to make sure it's done right, as we don't want to create something like an airline rewards program. It should be about things that you care about which is motivation and access to the Nike brand.
With iPhone integration in the works, what's the future looking like for Nike and technology? All the FuelBand promo material comes across very Apple-esque.
Stefan: What we try to do is create experiences that feel premium, thought-through and easy to use. I think it's a philosophy that Apple share as well about keeping it simple but we're not just looking at that. We have our own philosophy and vision for what makes great design and usable experiences – that's what we're continuing to do. As a company, we're a focusing on editing, removing things that don't matter and we do this in our core products around footwear and apparel. We also do it when we think about experiences just making sure they're beautiful and user friendly. If we see things we love that inspires us.
As one of the first sports/lifestyle brands to venture into wearable computing, what do you feel about the quantified self/life logging trend/phenomenon that's taking place right now.
Stefan: Yeah, I think the buzz words are dangerous. It needs to be put in a bucket whether it's quantified self, wearable electronics or whatever you call it. We just don't think about it that way. What can we do to motivate and inspire people to do more, be more active and improve? then you look at what technologies do I have disposable to do that. We never started of saying let's go make a wearable electronic – we said let's go motivate people to go from red to green and then what we need to do that. Then you look at how that manifests itself from a product and experience standpoint. I think the idea of people wanting to know how they're doing to be able to motivated to do more is true whether you call it quantified self or not, I don't really care. You can't improve what you can't measure. We never started it by looking at the buzz words, we started it by looking at people. We saw it with runners, if you could credit for your run on the original Nike+ app that we created 7 years ago – some people were like 'if I don't bring my sensor, I'm not going for a run because it's a lost run'. That's a bigger thing than quantified self, it's an insight into the athlete. For us it's really about using that insight and develop/design experiences that deliver against that.
Right, our site Y&Y has always been about the people and their stories. How did your journey start at Nike? Were you always involved in digital?
Stefan: Fairly early. I started advertising at Nike back in 1996 and my first digital brand director was in 2000 when the digital era really kicked off.
Damn, I was still in primary school!
Stefan: Now you see how old I am haha.
Do you have any passion projects outside of work?
Stefan: Velocity. It's been amazing with Mr. Ahmed.
The book kind of transformed my life, I guess you could say it was the inspiration for me to want to work for Nike. Now I work at AKQA.
Stefan: That's fantastic so it worked. That was the whole purpose of the project. I'm also really passionate about music, I write music but that's for my family's ears only. Fortunately some would say.
How often do you step out of your comfort zone to be creative?
Stefan: I think I do that more in music. With regards to things we develop for Nike, it's been a journey where you have informed intuition that's been honed over the years. I try to take all new influences I get from talks, people or the books I read then I try to use that in the way I think about guiding and unlocking all the smart people within Nike and our agency partners. You've got to pretty open to hearing new things but at the same time putting things into perspective with experience. My uncomfortable creative zones are probably more in music.
As VP of all things digital, it must be a pretty intensive job. How do you switch off from work mode? Do you even switch off?
Stefan: It's really hard to switch off. The phone is always with us. I love working out, going to the gym or going for a run – it's usually the time where I can be in my zone. I also coach my youngest son's soccer team if you're not there with twelve 7 year old's, you're in trouble.
What's one piece of advice you could give someone who's just started their job in the industry?
Stefan: Be curious. Listen, read and build your instincts by listening to a lot of different people. Try and get a couple of mentors – people who are a good barometer and guide, stay close to them. For me it's been great to be close to people with really strong opinions and who are also able to express them in a meaningful way.
LASTLY! I've read Velocity twice, it's a brilliant book with lots of key quotables and one that helped me get my current job at AKQA. Will you be writing a follow up to it in a few years time?
Stefan: *looks over at Ajaz* I think he's the man to ask. We'll see.

Due to an imminent house move, I have been 'urged' to get rid of some of the radio gear I've been hoarding over the years.....
I did a lot of part-ex deals and trades back in the day and I took items which I then didn't need and often have never even used. This item is one of them....
I have been told that it could be a MyDel MegaTrap, or something similar. I have no idea and it has no identifiable markings to go on.
£25 will make it yours, which includes delivery to the UK mainland. PM with interest or for further info. Thanks

The Importance of Faculty Interactions with Students
What can faculty members do?
Connect with students:
- If you have not had a chance to learn your student's names, it's not too late.
- Conduct individual, in-person meetings with each student at some point in the semester.
- Ask students to pick up quizzes, tests, or assignments from your office instead of in class. This creates a chance to speak with students one-on-one and informally.
- Contact students if they miss class and see if you can help them get back on track.
Help students succeed:
- Provide feedback early and often, including mid-term grades.
- Make certain students know about help that is available for your course and for studying in general. (Tutoring Center, Open Labs, Study Zones, etc).
- Get to know campus resources both for extracurricular opportunities and for needed referrals.
- Seek feedback from your students about class.
Identify students in trouble and reach out to them:
- Reach out to students who are doing poorly.
- Contact Academic Success or Counseling for advice or assistance.
Encourage and acknowledge successful students:
- Add to student ideas instead of dismissing them out of hand.
- Give respectful answers to all questions and provide positive reinforcement whenever possible.
- Make time for students and let them know you care about their success.

Sister Mary Beth Lloyd
Posted by tara in Lisa's Posts
Sister Mary Elizabeth Lloyd, a Red Bank native, is on an international mission to help children orphaned by AIDS and living in households headed by children.
"Every 14 seconds a new child-headed household is formed," said Lloyd, a member of the Religious Teachers Filippini, at the Villa Walsh Academy in Morristown. "We have children as young as 6 years old as the head of the household with younger siblings. Our mission is to keep them together as a family, educate the children and try to provide a future for them."
Lloyd grew up in Little Silver, attended Red Bank Catholic High School for three years and spent her senior year at Villa Victoria Academy, Trenton, which was staffed by the Filippini nuns. At 18 years of age, she entered the convent and became a science and physics teacher.
"I really loved being at Red Bank Catholic," Lloyd said. "There was no money for college, but I got a scholarship to Villa Victoria that included my senior year and one year of nursing school."
Her path to helping AIDS orphans included a doctorate in nutrition and public health from Columbia University and work at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, both in New York City.
"I always wanted to be a missionary," she said. "I got my wish, but I didn't think it would be so many missions."
Since 1995, Lloyd, who is known as Sister Mary Beth, has been the worldwide mission director for the Filippini nuns who administer to the needs of women, girls at risk, and orphans, especially AIDS orphans in Albania, Brazil, Ethiopia, Eritrea and India.
"Ethiopia is the country with the greatest need right now," she said. "India has resistant TB and leprosy in addition to AIDS, but at least there is food and water. In Ethiopia, there is no food, no water, no medicine or hospitals, especially in the rural areas."
According to Lloyd, the work of the approximately 80 Filippini nuns and a number of volunteers who work in the foreign countries is to provide an elementary education to the AIDS orphans and to provide training in a micro-enterprise, such as sewing, teaching, nursing, or work at a café.
"We provided a young boy with six eggs, and today that man has a farm with 500 chickens and provides eggs to our mission, plus is providing education for his siblings," she said. "There are success stories with students going to universities, too."
In June 2008, her work among the AIDS orphans was recognized at the United Nations in New York when she received the Path to Peace Foundation's Servitor Pacis (Servant of Peace) award given by Archbishop Celestino Migliore, the Vatican's permanent observer to the U.N. The award honors unsung heroes in unknown places who work for peace on the national or international level.
Pasquale "Pat" Menna, the mayor of Red Bank, attended the award ceremony and called Lloyd "a remarkable, phenomenal woman."
"No one wanted these children [AIDS orphans], and the governments weren't able to help them," he said. "She empowered these children to care for themselves and their siblings with tremendous results that the U.N. can use as a model."
Menna said, "She achieved greatness on the world stage without striving for it. She is an ordinary person doing extraordinary things."
Lloyd said the needs of AIDS orphans are great and can be helped by governments and individuals. Governments, including the United States, support the Global Fund, an international financing institution dedicated to the prevention and treatment of AIDS, TB and malaria.
"Economic times are hard, but if the United States meets its contribution to the Global Fund next year, then the other countries may follow its example," she said.
To help individuals understand the story of AIDS orphans, Lloyd has written a book, "AIDS Orphans Rising," (amazon. com) that details the lives of these children and what individuals can do to help.
"The book's title doesn't refer to the growing number of AIDS orphans," the nun said, "but it signifies the rising of the children out of their tragedy. All the proceeds of the book go to the AIDS orphans."
Volunteers are welcome, Lloyd said, to come to the missions and help with the work in the various countries.
"We have a flutist who is coming with instruments and a computer to teach music in Ethiopia," she said. "Anyone who wants to share their talent, time or treasure is welcomed. As Mother Teresa said, 'Grab the opportunity to do something good.'"
When Lloyd, 62, has the opportunity, she enjoys running races.
"My father, Thomas, was a runner before the Nike days," she said. "Last summer I ran 50 miles in the Grand Tetons, and this summer I'm scheduled to run the Jersey Shore full marathon."
When asked how she does in the races, Lloyd replied," I'm always the first nun who finishes."
Sister Mary beth is on the run with RHTA for a great cause until the 19th of June.

It's gone from this:
On the 14th December
To this:
today the 17th Jan- only 1 month!
Even some baby courgettes without any AI as I thought they might need! I waited in vain for the male and female flowers to open together, then I found they'd done it by themselves; must have been some bees around after all!
We put in a decent sized red pepper plant, but it's still grown, it's just that the peppers aren't very big and are a bit heat prone, despite adding shade on days over 35 deg C. Still I'm not complaining mind you...
The lettuces are going to seed quickly, as Liz predicted, none then less we've enjoyed some leaves in a couple of salads. Alfred's corn is romping away, the beans need securing/guiding to the fence, the silver beet's ready and I'm wondering if I should've separated out the spring onions a bit?
But all in all I'm pleasantly surprised!

by Amy and Nancy Harrington, Pop Culture Passionistas
As 2010 comes to an end, we look back and pick our Ten Most Inspirational Pop Culture Moments of the Year. Here's the second half of our selections. To see numbers six through ten check out last week's post.
5. "True Blood" Stars Support a Local Family
"True Blood" co-stars and newlyweds, Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin, wanted to help out a family that was clearly going through a hard time. 47-year-old Kirk Darnell died suddenly, leaving behind a wife and five children — and no life insurance policy. Eight months later, mom Missi and her daughter Genevieve were hit by a car and killed as they walked to a local store. The remaining Darnell children tragically lost both parents and a sister in less than a year. Moyer and Paquin donated items for a silent auction that took place during The Darnell Family Fundraiser in Venice, California on October 10. And they showed up to offer their support in person as well.

4. America's Got Talent Star Tries to Help His Grandmother
"America's Got Talent" winner, the 30-year-old singer/songwriter Michael Grimm, plays what he calls "Mississippi River Music… New Orleans funk to Memphis soul." At the age of four, Michael was saved from a life living in the Mississippi welfare system by his grandmother. His grandparents home, the one he was raised in, was destroyed by Katrina in 2005. Michael's main reason for wanting to win "AGT" is to have the money to buy his grandmother a proper home. He declared, "I want to get her out of that situation. So no matter what happens here, I'm getting her out of there."
3. Fighting AIDS through Soccer with Ethan Zohn
After a grueling battle fighting cancer (now in remission) Ethan Zohn, the "Survivor: Africa" winner, is even more dedicated to combating HIV/AIDS in Africa. Seven years ago the reality show winner took part of his winnings to start Grassroot Soccer, a non-profit company dedicated to educating African youth about AIDS with the help of professional soccer players. In July his work came full-circle at the World Cup in South Africa. This summer Grassroot Soccer teamed up with (RED) to create a youth camp, the Grassroot Soccer (RED) Holiday Skillz Program, giving the children of Africa a safe, healthy, educational place to go while the schools were shut down for the tournament. During the week-long program kids learned about preventing and fighting AIDS, played some soccer, and watched the World Cup in a safe environment. Zohn said the philosophy taught to the kids at GRS "is to find a great support system, to have a positive attitude, to stay healthy, and you can extend your life," a message he adopted in his own recent brave battle with cancer.
2. Ellen DeGeneres Gives $30,000 Scholarship to Teen Banned from Prom
In March The U.S. District Court ruled that a Mississippi school violated the Constitutional rights of student, Constance McMillen, when they banned her from attending the prom wearing a tux and holding hands with her girlfriend. Sadly they were not required to reinstate the event, so the parents threw the kids a substitute dance where all are welcome and many supporters rallied around the teen. One big fan was Ellen DeGeneres, who invited the girl on her show. She told Constance she was an inspiration for standing up for her rights. Ellen said it was up to Constance and her generation to enlighten the world about the fallout of discrimination. DeGeneres gave the student (who has a 3.86 GPA) a $30,000 scholarship check from tonic.com.
1. Alison Arngrim Overcomes Her Own Abuse to Help Others
Most people know her as Nellie Oleson from "Little House on the Prairie," but there's a lot more to Alison Arngrim than meets the eye. In her memoir "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated" she talked about a childhood of being left at home in the hands of an abusive brother. As with many people in her situation, especially children, Arngrim suffered in silence. Alison learned how to deal with situation by being acting out her aggression and anger through the raging Nellie Olsen.
Now as an activist, Alison works for PROTECT, the National Association to Protect Children. In a recent exclusive interview she spoke to us about what's next on PROTECT's agenda, "We've got a bunch of legislation passed… but there is a petition saying to President Obama, to Congress, 'We support the immediate arrest of known predators–people who are known to be committing these crimes right now. And we request that you allocate appropriate funding to these agencies. Could you sling a few dollars towards the cops who are waiting to go arrest these people?' So that's our biggie right now." To lend your support to PROTECT go to their website and sign their Child Rescue Petition.

Community service opportunities seem to be everywhere at W&L. Students can be found tabling by the Commons any day of the week promoting various events and charities. My sorority ran two philanthropy events this semester. We delivered buffalo wings to students on a Friday night for one event. We hosted a "pie war" with a fraternity for our other event, where students got to pay to throw pies at each other. My sorority donated the proceeds from these two events to our national philanthropy which focuses on literacy. Even outside of Greek life, W&L gives students many options for community service activities, like working with local public schools as tutors and mentors or walking dogs at the Rockbridge SPCA. Helping out the local area is a fun and productive way for me to spend some of my free time in Lexington. I'm glad that W&L does such a good job of facilitating these chances to volunteer.

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, anonymous, one halfpenny token
By Library and Archives Canada | Monday, March 29, 2004
The copper halfpenny illustrated is perhaps one of the most intriguing Canadian tokens of the early 19th century. Although the piece appears to be of British manufacture, its exact origin remains a mystery. Tokens such as this were usually put into circulation by merchants in order to alleviate chronic shortages of small change. However, this token is not dated and neither an issuer nor a place of business is indicated. It is thought that the issuer was probably a politician who favoured the union of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, since the question of a union of the two maritime colonies did arise from time to time.
The obverse of the token features a sailing vessel with the legend NOVA SCOTIA AND NEW BRUNSWICK above and the word SUCCESS below. The side not illustrated shows an allegorical figure of Commerce seated on a bale and holding a scale in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left. The legend HALFPENNY TOKEN surrounds the seated figure. This token, which is slightly larger than a Canadian 25-cent coin, is part of the National Currency Collection, Bank of Canada.

Ex-NFL star Aaron Hernandez fired the shots that killed Odin Lloyd, a man who'd been with him told another of their friends, according to a court document cited Tuesday by a Florida police spokeswoman.
The conversations allegedly involved two people who were with Hernandez when he picked up Lloyd from his Boston apartment early on June 17, hours before a jogger found Lloyd's body in a North Attleborough, Massachusetts, industrial park. All three men are now in custody.
Prosecutors accuse Hernandez, a standout tight end whom the New England Patriots cut soon after his June 26 arrest, of orchestrating Lloyd's death. The 23-year-old is now in a Massachusetts jail; he has pleaded not guilty to murder charges.
The information in a document filed in Florida — as detailed by Miramar, Florida, police spokeswoman Tania Rues — may help authorities as they build their case against Hernandez as the triggerman.
Nearly 1,500 miles from the crime scene, Miramar is where Ernest Wallace turned himself into authorities on June 28 after seeing news reports that an arrest warrant had been issued for him. He was charged the next day with being an accessory after the fact of murder.
The other man arrested in the case — Carlos Ortiz, who hails from Hernandez's hometown of Bristol, Connecticut — told authorities that Wallace told him Hernandez fired the shots that killed Lloyd, the document cited by the Miramar police spokeswoman says. (CNN has not seen the court document filed in Florida, which Rues says was part of a search warrant executed at a Wallace family home.)
This detail comes out the same day that, following a judge's orders, Massachusetts authorities released a number of documents pertaining to the 27-year-old Lloyd's death.
Among other details, these documents explain authorities' account of an interaction with Hernandez at his southeast Massachusetts home after Lloyd's death but before the football player's arrest.
Hernandez at one point told police that he didn't remember specifically when he last saw Lloyd. Later in the conversation, he "became argumentative" with two police officers questioning him, then went in his home and got a business card for his lawyer to give to them.
"We informed Mr. Hernandez that this was a death investigation," the document states. "Mr. Hernandez slammed the door and relocked it behind him.
"Mr. Hernandez did not ask the officers whose death was being investigated. Mr. Hernandez's demeanor did not indicate any concern for the death of any person."
By contrast, when police first told Hernandez's fiancee about the death of Lloyd, who her sister was dating, "she immediately began to cry."
According to the same court document, the same woman told authorities that she and Hernandez went out to dinner for Father's Day, then she went to bed while her fiance was out all night.
Police say that, at one point, Hernandez called the woman and told her "his sports agent said she should not speak with us and that she should request to speak with her attorney," a document states.
Documents also reveal details, some of them previously disclosed, of Lloyd's texts on the day he was killed. One of them, sent at 12:22 a.m. on June 17 to Hernandez's cell phone, reads: "We still on."
About three hours later, a man who works at NeedleTech — a medical device manufacturer with a facility in North Attleborough, near where Lloyd's body was found — told police he was taking a break in his car when he heard "three gunshots and (a) car door slamming."
A different affidavit for a search warrant features three black-and-white photos from a home surveillance camera that show Hernandez and two other men.
The three men leave the garage of the North Attleborough home around 1 a.m., the document states. The video shows them returning to the same residence around 3:26 a.m., including Hernandez going to-and-from the basement on "several different occasions."

Between FY 1990 and FY 1991, HRSA spending on HIV/AIDS increased more than 13-fold, from $16.5 million for AIDS Service Demonstration Grants, to $220.6 million for the Ryan White CARE Act as a whole.
Between 1996, ADAP's first year, and reauthorization in 2000, program funding increased from $52 million to $528 million. Funding rose another 50 percent in 2006 in a continued commitment to reach all the underserved. In the 2009 reauthorization, funding levels hit an all-time high.
In 1991, the first year of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, the Federal budget appropriation was $220.6 million. In FY 2010, it had grown to $2.29 billion.
Since 1990, grants under the Ryan White CARE Act have been administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The HIV/AIDS Bureau was created under HRSA in 1997 to streamline the administration of all Ryan White funds.
Renewing the Commitment and Advancing Care
The Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act (now the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Treatment Extension Act of 2009) was passed in 1990, and the first grants were distributed in 1991. In the two decades since then, four reauthorizations of the Act have reflected the evolution of HIV/AIDS into a chronic disease that is generally manageable with appropriate treatment and high quality health care. The 1996 Act ensured access to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) through ADAP funding. The 2000 reauthorization continued this tradition and also targeted those not in care by providing funds for technical assistance and key points of entry into the medical system. The reauthorization in 2006 sought to mitigate the high impact of the disease on African-American and other minority communities by codifying the minority AIDS Initiative in the legislation; the reauthorization also placed increased emphasis on medical care treatment. The most recent reauthorization, in 2009, created new incentives to find HIV-infected persons and link them into care.
From the beginning, the Act (and the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program) has not been an entitlement program like Medicaid and Medicare. Instead, the program is a completely discretionary budget item that funds
- Part A grants to eligible metropolitan areas and transitional grant areas,
- Part B grants to U.S. States and territories, and
- Part C, D, and F grants directly to organizations.
See The HIV/AIDS Program: Legislation
Authorizing legislation, like the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, is done on a short timeline to allow for congressional oversight to change program components and review funding allocations. Therefore, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program sunsets thereby necessitating further legislative action to extend it. Since inception, four reauthorizations have taken place: In 1996, 2000, 2006, and 2009. The current legislation sunsets in 2013. Each reauthorization has presented the Nation with the opportunity to adopt and modify the law to reflect changes in the HIV/AIDS epidemic, changes in external conditions, drug treatment research, and shifts in the health care landscape in the United States.

The West wasn't won with six guns alone. Well-greased skillets helped, too, especially in the hands of Fred Harvey's cooks.
By journalist and pop historian Fried's account, 19th-century British immigrant Fred Harvey was "the founding father of the American service industry." That doesn't strictly translate into low-wage, go-nowhere jobs, however. Harvey arrived in America with practically nothing, built a small nest egg, was swindled by an early partner and worked diligently to build a fortune again. He was a close observer of the restaurant trade in New York, and he understood the value of paying cash and refusing to extend or receive credit, and, crucially, of buying the best-quality goods that one can afford. The result, after decades of Horatio Alger–like self-improvement, hard work and voracious book-learning, was a chain of restaurants that went West with the Army and the railroads. As Fried (Husbandry: Sex, Love & Dirty Laundry—Inside the Minds of Married Men, 2007, etc.) notes, it was through Harvey's labors that travelers beyond the Mississippi could get a decent, often excellent, meal. "He suspected there was money to be made if he could just figure out a way to dependably deliver palatable food at fair prices without any bait and switch," writes the author. And so Harvey did. He brought in fresh steaks, eggs and bread by the boxcar, hired vivacious "Harvey Girls" to wait tables, imported chefs from Europe, set in motion the international trade in Native-American crafts and made piles of money while retaining his fundamental decency. Fried's immensely readable narrative stretches from Harvey's time into the empire as run by his children and grandchildren, a slow decline that proves the rule that family-run enterprises seldom last more than three generations—and are almost certainly looted and left for dead by the time the great-grandchildren come along.
A sturdy, detailed work of history that will appeal to business readers as well as aficionados of railroading and the Old West.
