Abe Feldman (1905-1988) entered the United States at Boston as Abe Felgendler.[1] He traveled with his mother Feiga (Fannie) Barshak Felgendler and his siblings Leib (Louis) and Jankel (Sam) and his cousin Jankel (Jack) Feigenblatt. Moische Felgendler, Abe's father, immigrated in New York in 1904 and became Morris Feldman.[2] The Feldman family was actually from the larger community of Polonne, 10 miles northeast of Labun, today in Ukraine.
Abe became a glazier like his brothers Louis and Sam and their father. The 1940 census shows Abe, his wife Lillian and their son Norman living at 952 43rd Street in Brooklyn with Fannie, who had been widowed in 1938.[3] Abe and Lillian later had another son. I have not yet located a marriage record for Abe and Lillian. I suspect, based upon Norman's age, that they were married between 1934 and 1936. The 1940 census reveals that Lillian was also an immigrant from "Russia."
Abe, Lillian and several Feldman family members are buried in the Beth
Moses Cemetery's First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association plot, Pinelawn, NY.

Apart from the usual birds and butterflies and bees, an exceptional number of these. Lots of wonderful Welsh names for them: ceiliog rhedyn (fern cock), sioncyn y gwair (little man in the grass), Robin sbonciwr (jumping Robin).

Had the geese flying over in formation from Stanpit Marsh to Pennington Marsh for several weeks now. Started in fragmented groups but now coming back to Stanpit in the evening in a very large 'V' formation which is very impressive!

Re: UK Wildlife in Autumn
As well as the visit from the mole, the squirrels have done their usual trick of eating every nut on both the Kentisbury cob and the Butler's Filbert. Well, they left me one nut and several piles of shells and husks. There are still several hedgehogs visiting every night and we have pipistrelle bats and the tawny owl. The cat thinks he is doing his bit by bringing wood mice and shrews as presents.

Crash Nitro Kart Review
December 14, 2003, 08:17:26 AM »
Crash is back for another racing game. Or should we call it another racing clone?
Review by Steven Rodriguez
Crash Bandicoot, the once unofficial mascot for the PlayStation, is back for his second karting appearance in the form of Crash Nitro Kart. It's hard to not consider this game a clone of Mario Kart, which is what the original Crash Team Racing was regarded as, but as it turns out, CNK is actually more a kin to the N64's Diddy Kong Racing than Mario's game. After playing through it you'll see why it's called a clone, and an average one at that.
As the game opens, you'll see how Crash finds himself back in a racing situation. As sister Coco tunes up the Bandicoot kart fleet, an alien spaceship sucks up their house and transports them to an alien world. Dr. Cortex and his cronies get beamed up too. The premise of the game is to race around worlds to entertain the aliens, win races, get trophies and keys, and ultimately win back your freedom to return home. It's a pretty funny story, mostly because of how lame it is, and serves as a glue to link the various game modes together.
Nitro Kart's main feature is the Adventure mode. When you get into it, you'll be dropped into a central hub with gates leading off to various themed worlds, with only one accessible at first. Within each themed world, there are four tracks, and you'll need to beat the racing challenges in each. After you do so, you'll race the level boss one-on-one to get the key that will unlock the gate to the next world. Planets include the stereotypical ice, fire, and jungle worlds, among others, and the tracks are what you'd expect, with features such as the lava pits in the fire world. The tracks are somewhat creative, though it's nothing that will wow you when you first race on them.
The game's angle is that at the start of Adventure mode, you can pick a team of racers. Team Bandicoot and Team Cortex are the two you start with, and each team has three pilots: The all-around racer, the small, easy to control type, and the big clunky speed character. There are four teams in total, with two racers racing from each team. The idea is to have either you or your teammate place first. This format presents an interesting situation to the person playing: You don't need to win the race yourself in order to win that particular track's trophy. This means you can theoretically beat all of the tracks without winning a single race yourself, which sort of defeats the purpose of a racing game.
Compounding this is the actual racing. During the course of a race, a "Team Frenzy" meter fills. After about a lap or a lap and a half, it fills completely and upon activation, it gives you unlimited random items for about 10 seconds. This means you can unload on someone ahead of you, easily overtaking them, or drop items behind you at will, making it really hard to be passed. This makes the racing way too easy, since all you need to do to win is wait until the last half lap, use Team Frenzy, and take out the two guys in front of you and win the race. It cheapens the game somewhat, taking actual racing skill out of the equation, since items come so easily.
Crash Nitro Kart does a pretty good job with power sliding and boosting. When you press either L or R to hop into a power slide, a meter appears. When this meter fills up between halfway and full, pressing the other shoulder button will activate a boost, and the meter will start filling again. You can boost up to three times this way. You'll also get a boost for hopping off of ramps. The idea is to link together the sliding around the turns, hops off ramps and the various boost plates around the track to link these boosts together. Obviously, the more boosts you can get in a row, the faster you'll go. It can be a little hard to handle the speed with some of the faster characters, but it can be mastered with practice.
After you've gone through all the Trophy Races, you have the option to go back to each of the tracks for more racing action. CNK Challenges require you to collect the letters C, N, and K around a track and then win. The Relic Race is the game's version of a time trial, where you go around a track as fast as possible while breaking time crates that freeze the clock for a short period. Both of these modes offer an alternative to the flawed racing that the normal Trophy Races offer, but the racing in general is still average.
The game's multiplayer options are plentiful. You can either race or battle against three friends in a variety of modes. The battle modes include a Capture the Flag mode and Steal the Bacon (which is basically one-flag CTF), and both are pretty fun with four people. The racing is a bit slower with more people on the screen, however, making it a little harder to enjoy. Curiously, the team aspect of CNK's Adventure mode isn't available with two people, since Adventure is for one player only. It would have made a lot of sense if you could play through Adventure cooperatively.
Considering that Mario Kart is already out and about, it's would be impossible to recommend Crash Nitro Kart over Nintendo's own kart racer. However, some might be turned off by Mario Kart's relatively high difficulty, so something as easy to beat as CNK might be nice to play through if you've been frustrated by one too many turtle shells. There's only room for one kart racing title on the GameCube, and unfortunately for Crash Bandicoot, his game isn't it, even if you can get some enjoyment out of it.
Great multiplayer battle mode
Good, simple controls
Too easy to win with unlimited items
Don't need to place first to win a challenge race
No co-op Adventure
Graphics: 7.0
The Crash games do have their own style, and this style is easily seen throughout CNK. Of course, it's not the best looking one around, but it works. Basically, if you've played any of the other Crash Bandicoot games out there, then you have a pretty good idea what this one looks like.
Sound: 6.0
The music is rather generic, and you'll easily forget that it's playing while in the middle of race. The sound effects are rather plain too. The best part about the game's audio is that sexy talking mask that gives you advice between races, but even he gets rather annoying.
Control: 7.5
The karts control pretty nicely, but can be hard to handle consistently at top speed. Power sliding is pretty easy to do, as well as using items and generally jockeying for position. There are a few times during a race where your kart changes into hovercraft mode, which is a bit screwy to slide around corners with, but it's a minor quirk.
Gameplay: 6.0
Think Diddy Kong Racing with a lot of problems that make it way too easy. For one, you don't need to win a race to advance, as long as your teammate wins. The occasional use of unlimited items for a brief period is also a bit silly, since you can use it to cream anyone ahead of you or make it impossible for someone behind you to catch up. The variety of racing modes is a nice addition, but since the racing itself is ludicrously unbalanced, there's nothing other modes can do to save it.
Lastability: 7.0
Yeah, there's a lot to do, but the problem is that you'll be doing it over and over again. The number of tracks is comparative to Mario Kart, but for some reason, it seems much more repetitive. The four or five different tasks you'll need to do for every track start to get boring, considering how easy it is to win races. Multiplayer is only good for the battle mode, and there's a map editor for custom battle arenas.
Final Score (Not an average): 6.5
When you look at the entire game you have a pretty generic kart racer that is enjoyable, but flawed where it counts: the racing. It's a little too easy to win races, and once you beat it all, there's very little for you to keep coming back to. If you don't mind the ease of winning and the fact that you can beat the game handily (and you're tired of, or don't yet have Mario Kart), then Crash Nitro Kart can be a crate full of fun. Otherwise, dust off Diddy Kong Racing and beat Wizpig again.

Business Continuity Planning
Can your business survive a crisis?
Nobody wants to be a harbinger of doom. However, a pragmatic approach to Business Continuity Planning has to consider the impact of some worst case scenarios.
Here are some things to ponder about Continuity Planning:
- Having a plan demonstrates confidence to staff, customers, suppliers and other important stakeholders.
- It means you are in control of the time frame rather than being forced into extreme measures.
- Business Continuity Plans are not just for big organisations. They just need bigger plans.
- The survival rate of organisations that do not plan for catastrophic events is estimated to be less than 20%.
- Few firms that suffer a catastrophic IT failure survive beyond a year.
We can assist with the construction and maintenance of your Continuity Plan, in a efficient and cost effective way.
A stitch in time? We would be delighted to discuss Continuity Planning for your business. If you like what you hear, it could prove to be one of the soundest investments you make. You decide.

Clear your mind.
That was my run motto this morning. As I kept telling this to myself I could actually feel my breathing begin to relax; I could hear the music more clearly and with each foot fall, my body become one with my run. It was a completely different experience today resulting in faster miles and a clearer head at the end.
So much has been going on and so many thoughts have been going through my head that I needed to have a clear slate today. Traveling for work a lot doesn't give you much down time and every now and then you just need to put everything aside and hope for the best. Today was one of those days. I needed to just put it all aside and clear my mind of everything. No deadlines, no extra thoughts, no worries, no phone calls, texts, emails, meetings, nothing. I just needed to have my own time for me.
Clear your mind. The best advice I can give for a Wednesday.

You might have been itching for an image lately so here's one. From left to right are: my grandpa, his wife, his brother, my son, and me. We had a fun time together
You might have been itching for an image lately so here's one. From left to right are: my grandpa, his wife, his brother, my son, and me. We had a fun time together
OK, hopefully that's better….If not, let me know.
Did you notice how both of those sites look just like mine except for the colors? I'm working on fixing that little problem….
Also, you should really check out the web site for my cousin's band Driven 2 One.
Hey, my sister Amber has a site you should check out if you know her. It has some of her artwork… amber.the-patricks.org
For those who don't know yet, a bonus for visiting this site is on the way: We're having a baby! I guess we can start telling people now. [He?] should be ready to be born for the first time in late March or early April of 2002.
In other news, we went to the fair last night and got to see all the horses, cattle, swine, chickens, pheasants, goats, sheep, etc… Of course G enjoyed it and we did too. G got his hand slightly bitten by a horse, which he didn't like.
C, G, and I took a ride in an airplane last night. It was a helio-courier which is used for by Jungle Aviation And Radio Service (JAARS) for transporting missionaries around jungles and remote areas. Great fun! G enjoyed it a lot and we got plenty of pictures. The pilot's name was David and he has been in South America for 20 years and will be in the States starting this year. We'll post some pics when the time comes…
Wow has it been hot these last couple of weeks. In the 90s every day. Last night we went swimming with G. He enjoys the water so much. It was a great cool-down. The boy is so filled with energy. He rarely stops.
We walked to the pool and back and had a chance to enjoy the summer evening with the birds and the breeze and the summer evening noises. Life is good.
Tonight we're going to check out missions at the airport. Over near the prison there's an air strip so we're going to see the airplanes. G really loves that (I do to :). Stay tuned…
So far no information about the war from the guys at usswhitehurst.org, but one of the guys has been really helpful. We watched the movie The Enemy Below which was filmed using the USS Whitehurst and it was a good show. I also was talking to my dad and found out some more stuff that he knew from talking to my grandpa in his last few months here on earth.
I decided to search the web last week for the name of my grandpa's ship in World War 2 and interestingly enough found a whole web site about the USS Whitehurst. Very nice. I've been corresponding with a couple of the guys who write for the site and hope to find out more about my grandpa and the war.

Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez (photo right) told authorities it was no coincidence he looked like Jesus Christ. He was the modern day version he assured those who listened to him.
He really wanted to get on the Oprah show to spread his message(!) in a bad way, but never got the invite. Go figure.
So Oscar, aka Jesus Christ, went out with an assault rifle to gun down the Anti-Christ…none other than President Obama. Who knew?
But, as fate would have it, he was caught shortly after shooting at the side of the White House, which he reportedly wounded a couple of times. Obama and family weren't at home when he tried to bless them with his assault rifle.
We live in really strange days folks. It's not everyday the son of God goes on a rampage and tries to take out the leader of the free world with a semi-automatic weapon and doesn't even come close! Somewhere in the hinterlands of America some GOP wannabe presidents are destroying their contracts with the "Great Deceiver." God bless America!

10 Ways to Save on Business Travel
Commonsense approaches will keep you on the move without emptying your pockets.
As a business traveler for 25 years, mostly as a sole proprietor, I'm acutely aware of how much corporate travel costs and how those costs can be a nightmare to contain.
Business trips are rarely planned with the kind of notice you need to snag the deep discounts. Trips also change mid-itinerary, tacking penalties and fees onto already steep prices. Taxes and fees can add another 25 percent (or more) to your tab. (How about an 18 percent municipal parking tax?) Add luggage fees, Wi-Fi access, surcharges on rental cars, extra meals (think of those four-hour airport delays), new visa requirements for international travel. All these bills add up, so even if you think you know how much a trip will cost, the final tab can be a shocker.
So how can travelers maximize savings? Priyan Fernando, chief operating officer for American Express business travel, advises that corporate travel is a cost center that needs scrutiny, like any other business expense, and a calculable ROI.
With that in mind, American Express has released 10 tips for efficient travel spending, and we've added some of our own.
1. Plan twice, book once. American Express advises that changes mean fees. Airlines often charge $150 or more to rebook a ticket, and many hotels charge "no show" fees of $50 or more, even if you cancel ahead of time. Some hotels even charge the full rate for a room you booked but didn't stay in, especially during a convention. My advice: Confirm appointments before you book; check and double-check to make sure your bookings make sense—that flights and hotel reservations match up, flight or interline connections aren't too close, and that you'll most definitely stay that last day of a convention.
2. Pack light. Most airlines charge baggage fees and levy charges for overweight bags. American Express advises that the cost of dry cleaning may be cheaper than checking extra luggage on longer trips. My tip: Rethink the number of wardrobe changes you'd ordinarily make. At the very least, bring fewer pairs of shoes, leave the hair dryer at home (your hotel room likely has one), and use miniature bottles of toiletries and personal-care products.
3. Check your paperwork. Crossing borders? Ensure that your passport is current and that you have the necessary visas for your trip. Expired or missing paperwork not only can delay your trip but also increase the cost if you need to pay for expediting. My tip: Check with a travel management company or a travel agency for visa/passport support before you travel, and factor in the amount of time it takes to get the travel documents you need.

Children should have the opportunity to take risks when they are playing, experts said today. The Play Safety Forum (PSF) and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have agreed an approach to managing risk to give play providers the confidence to offer exciting and challenging play environments without unnecessary safety concerns and paperwork.
The Statement is a response to the fact that children have suffered a significant loss in their freedom to play over the past 40 years or so. Previous research has shown that a shocking half of children aged 7-12 are not allowed to climb a tree without an adult present and that one in five children aged 7-12 have been stopped from playing conkers because it's 'too dangerous.'1 The Government-commissioned report 'Common Sense Common Safety' has also recommended the adoption of more sensible and proportionate approaches to risk management particularly with respect to play activities. [1]
Health and safety laws and regulations are sometimes presented as a reason why certain play and leisure activities undertaken by children and young people should be discouraged. Such decisions are often based on misunderstandings about what the law requires. The HSE has worked with the Play Safety Forum to produce a joint high-level statement that gives clear messages tackling these misunderstandings. HSE fully endorses the principles in this Statement. [2]
Key message: 'Play is great for children's well-being and development. When planning and providing play opportunities, the goal is not to eliminate risk, but to weigh up the risks and benefits. No child will learn about risk if they are wrapped in cotton wool'. [3]
Key message: 'Those providing play opportunities should focus on controlling the real risks, while securing or increasing the benefits – not on the paperwork'. [3]
Key message: 'Accidents and mistakes happen during play – but fear of litigation and prosecution has been blown out of proportion.' [3]

Evaluation of Service Performed:
First, I'm not 100% sure of the service date. Anyway, I had torn the
moulding off when I clipped a private fence backing up my travel trailer. My
fault. I called Tom Schaeffers, where we purchased the travel trailer, and they
took it in almost right away. The work was performed that morning at
a reasonable price, and I picked up the travel trailer right after lunch. The
repair was professionally done, and I can't tell it was ever damaged I
would highly recommend them for purchase or repair.

By Lori Neuenfeldt, Programs Coordinator for the Visual Arts Center Gallery and Outreach Programs
The Mississippi State University College of Architecture, Art and Design and the Department of Art is proud to bring the work of artist Richard A. Lou to the MSU Visual Arts Center (VAC) Gallery on University Drive.
Stories on My Back is a three-dimensional, multi-media installation that combines photography, found object and sound. With his work, Lou questions and initiates discussions about race and celebrates the multicultural background that the world shares. To do this, Lou oftentimes references his own Chinese and Hispanic heritage as a visual way to introduce the viewer to ideas of cultural identity. Lou constructs spaces that are meant to evoke ceremonial places where familial stories of loss, migration, assimilation, power, and love are told and shared. The artist uses the power of storytelling as a means to connect with visitors. As audience members walk through the installations they hear recorded stories of tales passed down from the artist's own family, spanning four generations.
In an interview with Guisela Latorre for an article in the 2012 American Studies Journal, Border Consciousness and Artivist Aesthetics: Richard Lou's Performance and Multimedia Artwork, Lou said, "I always talk about stories. I come from that background. My father was a wonderful storyteller, and my mother is a wonderful storyteller. In actuality that is how I entered into the visual arts, it was from writing because I was interested in writing before I became interested in the visual arts."
Text and word are both important to Lou's work. Images of Lou's family are throughout the installation of Stories on My Back. One of the images, titled Magda, is Lou's daughter juggling small stones, each imprinted with a single word – "Chinese," "the," "grind," "would" and "Pebbles." These stones reference the story of Lou's father who practiced speaking English with pebbles in his mouth. Another visual reference to Lou's Chinese heritage that is significant to the installation is the color red. Red is the Chinese symbol for good fortune. Red also recalls bloodlines – the essence that ties generations of families together.
Versions of Stories on My Back have exhibited at the University of Mississippi and Georgia College & State University. What makes the installation of the piece unique is that it is site-specific, meaning it is different every time it is installed, having to fit in a new space with different dimensions. The VAC Gallery installation of Stories on My Back will be extremely unique because the piece will fit into four different gallery rooms.
Richard A. Lou is Professor of Photography and Chair of the Department of Art at the University of Memphis. Lou's career includes work as a curator and essayist and he has worked with groups as the Border Art Workshop and the Georgia Council for the Arts. Lou received his BA in Fine Art from California State University at Fullerton and his MFA in Fine Art from Clemson University.
Stories On My Back will be on display January 15 to March 23, 2013 at the Visual Arts Center (VAC) Gallery, 808 University Drive, Starkville, Mississippi.
The artist, Richard A. Lou will be speaking to the public about his work on March 7, at 3 p.m. in the Robert and Freda Harrison Auditorium in Giles Hall.
A gallery reception will also be held Thursday, March 7 from 6:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at the VAC Gallery. Both events are free and open to the public. For more information call 662-325-2973.

Not sure what career to choose? Contact us
You know the feeling… you've just spent 12 or more years studying and topped it all off with a month long cramming session that could only be matched by 20 clowns and a Volkswagen.
Your brain is begging for a break. Your head hankers for a holiday. Your cerebrum seeks a celebration.
But let's think about this for a minute (although I guess thinking is the last thing you want to do).
Gap years are great in theory, but you still need to make the most of them to ensure all those years of academic toil don't get wasted.
Augmenting your gap year with part-time and flexible study at TAFE is one way to take a breather without jeopardising your momentum and your motivation.
Studying part time gives you the space, while flexible study lets you learn on your own terms: while travelling, on the job, on campus, at home, or any combination of these.
Say for example you've planned a year-long trek through South America to indulge your love of wildlife. Well if you can just make it to the internet every now and again you can study too.
Then (aside from becoming an expert in treating the bite of a Brazilian Wandering Spider) you could return with a Certificate III in Companion Animal Services and be well on your way to becoming a vet.
Or maybe you want to stay a little closer to home, but your ATAR or QTAR didn't get you into that business degree. A year spent studying project management and working part-time could provide the extra qualifications you need to fix that – and put some cash in your pocket to fund your first venture.
On the other hand, you may already have access to your ideal career, but feel you need to dip the toe with some short courses before you take the big plunge.
If it doesn't work out, you can get on with another career path without losing too much time. However, if the shoe does fit, those short courses can count as credit towards your longer qualification.
Just the act of undertaking part time study can enhance your job prospects by strengthening your CV and demonstrating to potential employers that you have initiative, a strong work-ethic and a determination to succeed.
Everyone's circumstances are different, but part-time and flexible study are viable options if you want to avoid a gap year becoming a lost year.
Because the last thing you want to do is spend the year on the couch.
Not only will you stall your life and career, all that Oprah, Ellen and Dr Phil will leave you knowing far more about foot shavers than any person ever should.

Creative Wizard Oz joins We Are Social
Global communications agency We Are Social has hired award winning creative director Oz Dean to join its Sydney office.
With 17 years experience working for digital, design and advertising agencies in London, Manchester, Sydney and Singapore, Oz Dean's international resume includes work for clients including Singapore Airlines, Timberland, Heineken and Google.
Passionate about social, digital and creative technology, always with the big idea in mind, Oz strives to build collaborative relationships with people, departments, partner agencies and clients, making him a perfect fit for We Are Social. His worldview and creative talents will bring a unique perspective to the Sydney agency and benefit We Are Social's growing client roster.
He is a multiple award winner, including a Gold and Bronze Lion, several Effies, an AME and most recently three Bronze trophies at the New York Festivals 2014. He led the TBWA DAN team that won Silver at New York Festivals 2012 and the Digital Agency of the Year at the Campaign Asia Pacific Awards in 2012 (Gold) and 2013 (Bronze). He has also offered his expertise to numerous judging panels including the 2013 Digital Grand Jury for New York Festivals.
Prior to joining DAN, Oz began his career in Manchester (UK) and moved to Sydney in 2000 to join global digital powerhouse OVEN Digital. He then spent time at Singleton Ogilvy & Mather before freelancing for several years. During this time he worked at some of Sydney's best agencies, including Happy Soldiers, The Furnace, Pollen, Droga5, Deepend, Host and TBWA\ TEQUILA\ Sydney. In 2011 he joined TBWA\ TEQUILA\ Singapore from the Sydney office, where he was involved in driving campaigns for the agency's major clients.
His creativity extends beyond the world of marketing. His successful career in art, where he works under the moniker of 'forcefeed:swede' has been celebrated in many publications and he has exhibited several projects at group shows in Tokyo, New York, London and Paris. He held his first solo exhibition in 2008 at MTV's Sydney headquarters.

We are excited about Oz's addition to the team and the impact he will have for our clients going forward."

Per DNAinfo:
While the Brooklyn District Attorney's office said they are still investigating the deadly July 22 crash, no criminality is suspected, an NYPD spokesman said.
Detectives based their conclusion on the unidentified driver's behavior after the crash.
"He continued to pick up the garbage from his route," NYPD spokesman Ahmed Nasser said. The person, based on the speed of the vehicle, where the vehicle was the whole time, indicated that this person probably didn't realize he had hit the victim."
The driver worked for Action Carting. According to published reports, the private trash hauling company has been responsible for five (three pedestrians, two cyclists) deaths since 2008.
Per Streetsblog:
In the last 24 months, Action Carting drivers were involved in seven crashes involving pedestrians, resulting in eight injuries, according to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration records. In that same period, the FMCSA says 44 percent of Action vehicles were taken out of service due to safety violations — more than twice the national average.
The company has five standing contracts with city agencies — three with DOT adding up to about $2 million and two with the Department of Environmental Protection worth about $35 million apiece. All but one of those — an $800,000 contract with DOT — were signed during the de Blasio administration.
Paulie Gee's proprietor Paul Giannone told Gothamist yesterday: "I'm very upset right now ... Because nothing is going to happen to this guy [the driver]. The guy said he didn't know, I think he's full of it ... I think he's a liar, and I hope he rots in hell."


text: Dick Bavetta, the NBA's most famous (and consistently available) referee reached an amazing milestone in Orlando last night, as Peter Vecsey of the NY Post explains: "Because the NBA oddly avoids acknowledging anything affirmative regarding its referees, but takes the time at times to spotlight slip-ups, allow me to applaud Dick Bavetta for the following inconceivable achievement: Last night in Orlando, the 72-year-old (his birthday's Dec. 10) whistleblower worked his 2,500th consecutive regular-season game. Ruminate on that statistic for a second. And now consider this unimaginable appendage: Bavetta hasn't missed an assignment, excluding 300 in the playoffs (28 straight years) and another 300 exhibitions, since he joined the league in 1975 — and hasn't once gone postal. We're talking no sick days to mar his immaculate attendance record. No personal problems requiring a visit to the chaplain. No absence because of snowy flights or death-defying car rides. No 'Bob Barker's spayed and neutered dogs ate my homework.' Thirty-seven years, 27 Finals appearances. Yet, the association offers zero public praise of the man's work ethic. It's a win-win situation for commissioner David Stern; glorifying one means glorifying all."

Wanna See Something Icky?
This is neither a bowl of black beans nor a photo-shopped bloom. It is Japanese Beetle season here in southern Vermont and my, aren't they lovely? JB's are an invasive species who are celebrating about 90 years in our fair land. They celebrate by throwing wild orgies and all-you-can-eat smorgasbords on your precious green leafy material. First discovered in New Jersey, they have now spread to the entire eastern seaboard and are working their way through the country at a rate of about 5-10 miles per year. Not that I'm timing them. It's all I can do to keep the creepy little things off of my raspberry plants. Everyday I dump about 4 cups of beetles out of my traps. If you put them in a bucket of soapy water they die pretty quickly. This is a picture of yesterday's catch in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket. In a word - yuck.
Even worse, once dead they smell, well...dead. I made the mistake of tossing them into the field upwind of the house. Everytime somebody comes over these days I see their noses flare, then they'll issue one of the many charming and customary New England salutations, "Something die?"
Of course, killing beetles by the cupful is only satisfying for awhile and I am devising ways to hunt, trap and destroy these bugs at ever-alarming rates. It's a funny thing about gardening -- even the most soft-natured and loving people will viciously turn on their garden pests and kill with what can only be described as delight. And for people like me it's even better.

This may prove to be nothing…but I don't think so.
As Hillary's numbers continue to crater and the pressure increases for further criminal charges relating to a dozen different scandals involving the Clinton Crime Family, as well as the Wikileaks Sword of Damocles swinging precariously above her head, she may have already decided to throw in the towel!
A Tweet from a well-connected CBS reporter covering Clinton is fueling speculation!
Is this race already over? We'll let you decide…
Twitter users have captured what they say was a pretty interesting post from a CBS reporter that claims Hillary Clinton's staffers were resigning and that she might drop out of the race.
he alleged tweet was sent out Friday afternoon by CBS producer Hannah Chanpong
Several reporters and others have asked Chanpong repeatedly about her deleted tweet in the last 36 hours, but she has not responded.
Chapong isn't just random nobody either…
Chanpong is the real deal. She graduated from Northwestern in 2011 with a Journalism degree and quickly moved up the career ladder from a desk associate at CBS to an associate producer covering Clinton.
One of the problems in journalism today is that they take a lack of a denial as a confirmation. Since Chanpong hasn't denied sending this tweet (that she allegedly subsequently deleted), many are taking it as confirmation that she sent it and that it's valid.

Four Is
Bloom time, late April to early June, is an annual free spectacle that draws thousands of visitors to the modest grounds. But it's been a tough year for the gardens. Last summer, vandals hacked and uprooted over 150 plants in the display beds, some of them rare and historic specimens dating to the 1500s. The display beds were refurbished with other varieties and the damaged plants carefully replanted in nursery beds, only to be snacked on by hungry deer this winter (deer usually leave irises alone). As bloom time 2006 approaches, anxious eyes are on the gardens!
I is for impermanence. The paradox of constant change and the poignancy of fleeting beauty are often identified as Eastern or Buddhist concepts, illustrated by the familiar trope of cherry blossoms on the tree and petals on the ground.
Yet the "fathers" of Western thought, the ancient Greeks, believed the immortal gods envied the freshness of mortal beauty. The search for the Apples of Youth or the Fountain of Youth has occupied many Western scholars and explorers and continues to this day.
I is for initial. I had two friends, a married couple, who referred to each other by first initial ("M. read a good book" or "C. planted the flowers"). Somehow that doesn't work quite right when DH and I do that.
And I is for Ingeo, a synthetic fiber derived from corn. Spinners are just beginning to explore the possibilities of the fiber, so the chance to knit it can't be very far behind.
See the rest of my ABCs.

Nice! Iris Gardens totally appropriate for Exit 151. I believe it is the largest Iris collection in the nation. At the end of May in Montclair you can purchase some of the bulbs. For all the May in Montclair activities, I believe it is www.mayinmontclair.org (Can you tell I am from Montclair?)... ;)

Thank you Ina! I found a small article in my Southern Living mag that talked about a place in East Tx to get historic irises and I meant to do that this year. Thanks for the reminder. You can get them from the late 1800's! NICE pictures!

June 20, 2016
The Wealthy Biotech Trader (or "WBT"), an investment newsletter focused on showing everyday investors new opportunities in rapidly growing, little-known biotech, pharmaceutical and medical device stocks releasing impressive news and making market moves, would like to alert investors about a huge upcoming catalyst in the marijuana industry as well as stocks to watch out for once the news hits the press.
Companies included: 22nd Century Group (XXII); GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH); Insys Therapetics (INSY); Oxis International (OXIS)
Last year proved to be a pretty great year in terms of the progress made towards the legalization of marijuana with four states and the District of Columbia legalizing its recreational use. Moreover, a number of bills were introduced in the U.S. Congress seeking to allow states to legalize medical marijuana without federal interference as well as rescheduling marijuana to a schedule II drug. Some of the bills expected to be reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee include the CARERS Act sponsored by Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Dean Heller and Rand Paul and Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol Act (H.R. 1013). The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is also reaching out to numerous constituents regarding the DEA's consideration about rescheduling marijuana to a schedule II drug.
The passing of these bills will see a number of stocks such as 22nd Century Group (XXII) rise dramatically in valuation for important reasons. Two of the biggest causes of tension between federal prohibition and state legalization of marijuana either for medical or recreational use boil down to federal taxes and banking. Since the general consensus is that federal prohibition trumps state legalization, federal banking laws prohibit marijuana money transfers through credit card companies or debit networks and revenue generated by marijuana firms cannot be stored in FDIC insured banks and also these businesses cannot deduct their operating expenses for tax purposes.
22nd Century Group, a plant biotechnology company focused on technology that allows it to increase or decrease the level of nicotine and other nicotinic alkaloids in tobacco plants and levels of cannabinoids in cannabis plants through genetic engineering and plant breeding, is one stock that should be closely watched as federal marijuana legalization starts looking like more of a reality.
22nd Century holds exclusive rights in the U.S. to the genes required for cannabinoid production (the active "ingredient" in cannabis) in the cannabis plant. Although the company has not been conducting any marijuana related business in the U.S, it has been, through Anandia Laboratories – a Canadian based plant biotech company, researching and developing unique cannabis plant varieties for the medical marijuana industry. Through this innovative research, the company intends to cost-effectively produce commercial quantities of marijuana-based cannabinoids – including CBD and CBC – that show great promise in treating neurological disorders and other medical diseases. The group's research facilities for cannabis are located primarily in Canada, with its activities having been fully licensed by the Canadian government.
So far, 22nd Century Group is focused on unique marijuana plant varieties with low to no amounts of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for the legal hemp industry and plants with high levels of cannabidiol (CBD) and other non-THC cannabinoids for the legal medical marijuana markets. It is important to note: in addition to exclusive U.S. rights to the genes in the cannabis plant that are responsible for cannabinoid production, 22nd Century Group maintains co-exclusive rights (with Anandia) to this proprietary technology in ALL countries outside of the U.S. and Canada. This, coupled with its modest valuation of $59 million, makes 22nd Century Group primed to make investors above average returns once federal legalization comes into play.
Other stocks to watch out for
GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH) is a biopharmaceutical company that is engaged in discovering, developing, and commercializing cannabinoid prescription medicines. GW Pharmaceuticals was among the pioneers of cannabinoid based medications and has proven that the space holds plenty of potential for investors. One of the company's lead products is Sativex, a cannabinoid based medicine for the treatment of spasticity resulting from multiple sclerosis and cancer pain.
The company has clearly shown that there is demand for cannabis based medications judging by the reception of Sativex, which was launched in more than 10 countries including U.K, Spain and Germany. While a further 13 countries have already approved the treatment, the U.S has yet to do so, which creates a compelling opportunity based on the fact that GlobalData expects that the multiple sclerosis treatment market will reach about $20 billion by 2024.
Furthermore, it is important to note that Sativex isn't GW Pharma's only treatment to watch out for. The company has also developed Epidolex for the treatment of childhood epilepsy and other ailments, including glioma, schizophrenia and type 2 diabetes. Epidolex was granted orphan drug designation by the FDA and with more than half of its product pipeline currently in phase II testing, this stock definitely belongs on investors' watch list.
Insys Therapetics (INSY) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes innovative drugs and novel drug delivery systems for therapeutic molecules using proprietary sublingual spray technology and its capabilities to develop pharmaceutical cannabinoids. Insys currently specializes in producing synthetic forms of cannabidiol (CBD) that are over 99 percent pure with the intention of targeting a variety of conditions.
Back in 2014, the company received an orphan drug designation for its pharmaceutical cannabidiol for use in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), the most common and most aggressive malignant primary brain tumour in humans. In spite of decades of research into the treatment of GBM, the current therapies in use have failed to demonstrate adequate efficacy with the median overall survival rate of 12 to 14 months. As such, the need to identify new treatment options for the condition makes Insys well positioned to become a leader in the space based on the encouraging results so far.
In the United States, the company is the only one with capabilities of producing pharmaceutical CBDs in scalable quantities which along with its oral formulation give it a competitive advantage when compared to existing formulations.
Oxis International (OXIS) is a biotech company that develops and commercializes innovative drugs of therapeutic molecules including cannabinoids, which are focused on several cancer indications, and has exclusive worldwide patents for certain aspects for the treatment of multiple myeloma. Multiple myeloma is a type of cancer that forms in white blood cells, and affects about 26,850 people annually in the U.S. and causes about 11,240 deaths per year.
The company's lead product is OXS-1550, which is currently in phase I clinical trials for the treatment of non-Hodgkins lymphoma and leukemia. OXS-1550 is a bispecific scFv recombinant fusion protein-drug conjugate composed of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains of anti-CD19 and anti-CD22 antibodies and a modified form of diphtheria toxin as its cytotoxic drug payload. OXS-1550 targets cancer cells expressing the CD19 receptor or CD22 receptor or both receptors and when it binds to the cancer cells, the cancer cells internalize it and are killed due to the action of drug's cytotoxic payload.
According to the inventor of OXS-1550, Dr. Daniel Vallera, this treatment is a powerful alternative to existing chemotherapies due to the fact that many patients fail chemotherapy or reach the toxic limit of their therapy, which is what makes this potential new treatment so appealing.

The Founder is Dead... Long Live the Founder
Arthur Troop 1914 - 2000
Arthur Troop was born on December 15, 1914. He joined the Lincolnshire Constabulary on June 19, 1936. He married Marjorie. They had two sons, Barry and Kevin, and a daughter, Susan. He retired in 1966. Arthur died from cancer on November 30, 2000, aged 85 years. May he rest in peace.
That might have been his obituary, if he had been an ordinary policeman. But Arthur certainly was not ordinary. He had a dream. A dream born from the most destructive world war ever known; a dream spurred on by the chaotic aftermath of a world still reeking with suspicion and hostility, licking its wounds while preparing for another war. Friendship was a forgotten word in that sorry world. Arthur realised that the restoration of friendship would be the key that would unlock repressed brotherhood and understanding. So he wrote a few letters advocating the restoration lost art of pen-friendship and suggesting the exchange of holidays. Heartened by the response he set about putting a structure on his dream.
But then no man is a prophet in his own land especially if he is a lowly constable. Granted, his superintendent donated ten shillings but his chief constable ordered him to stand to attention in his office for 30 terrifying minutes. He was told "You are only a temporary sergeant, substantively a constable. You must hand over all papers to me so that what could be a great scheme would be handled properly". Arthur refused. Happily not all superior officers doubted Arthur's competence and the International Police Association was born on January 1, 1950. The only thing ordinary about Arthur was his description in his IPA membership card, which stated that Arthur Troop was granted ordinary membership of the British Section on the 1st day of January, 1950 and was allocated membership number A.1.
Fifty years later, the Founder died. Arthur Troop, BEM, Austrian Cross of Honour, Golden Sword of Hungary, IPA Gold Medal and various other honours, including a statue in Hungary and a doctorate from Canada, may have died but his dream lives on in the hearts of 295,000 members in 62 countries. Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, representing Queen Elizabeth II of England and mourners from all over the world, including Section Ireland, attended the funeral of a practical dreamer. Long Live the Founder.
(Written by the late John McCormack, Editor IPA Guide, Ireland.)

I've been told that i might be a good intermediary, although i've never done it. Also, since i'm basically "neutral" on the lunar Sabbath subject, i might be less likely to favor one person over the other.Luneee wrote:This brother and I have an issue that needs to be resolved in a forum that Tom does not control as judge, jury, and executioner.
If anyone has the courage to assist in this, I would appreciate it.
Based on ONLY the information given, i would say that the FIRST thing to do according to Mt.18:15, would be to write him/her and explain the point that they missed. THEN, if there still needs to be further resolution, according to v16, call for a hearing with 1 or 2 more (which is what you're asking for now). Have you done the 1st step, or did i miss something? "Missing the point" means that they didn't understand something, which in this case shouldn't be too hard to explain. Like you said, it's NOT about "lunar Sabbaths" - now that WOULD be difficult.Luneee wrote:Chuck, my reason for posting the respondee's message is to show that they missed the point entirely. This is not an argument about Lunar Sabbath. This is an issue of Tom falsely accusing me of trying to lead others to Lunar Sabbath, absent facts to support that accusation.
I am confused on why I would write the person back that missed the point? Is there a way I can convince them to see the real issue?
If it does come to that, i'm afraid the logistics might prove too difficult, getting 3-4 people to travel to some distant city to meet. The "meeting" would of necessity have to be via email.This would require an open hearing, in a public setting, with several (3 or more) men who would be willing to judge facts, and not opinions.
That makes sense, and he probably would ignore it.And, it would require an invitation to Tom to attend, which I believe would be ignored.
JMSchattke wrote:Well, Luneee/LunarModule/Jay Vincent, Answer these questions:
1) did you apologize for being disruptive last week?
2) did you actually tell anyone about lunar sabbaths in chat or PM?
Honestly, it's Tom's sandbox, he pays for it. If you want your own sandbox, pay for it yourself.
JMSchattke wrote:Honestly, it's Tom's sandbox, he pays for it. If you want your own sandbox, pay for it yourself.
If I have a place to meet, and someone comes in and is rude and obnoxious, I have the responsibility to eject them in order to keep things civil, polite and calm. If I ask someone to leave, and they do not, no matter what their reasons they are then trespassing.
Luneee, I still haven't received anything like a private request to explain my actions. When I do, I shall gladly explain, apologize, or whatever else I feel is appropriate. I shall not address your concerns in public as a first step.
Since right now, all we see is your side of the story about you being banned, well, of course you'll seem right.
First, WHO are the 2 parties involved, i.e. who is "this brother". Or are there 3 parties - it appears that JMSchattke is involved somehow. Or is JMS the "brother" you mentioned?This brother and I have an issue that needs to be resolved in a forum that Tom does not control as judge, jury, and executioner.

Were the perpetrators Roma?
by Michael Smith (Veshengro)
London, November 2009: On Tuesday, November 3, 2009, shortly before 5pm, muggers punched a two-year-old girl in the head as they demanded money from her mother, Scotland Yard revealed.
The 23-year-old victim was shopping with her daughter in Wembley, north-west London, when two young women tried to rob her.
The attackers, thought to be in their teens, became aggressive when the victim did not let go of her bag, and hit the mother on the arm before punching the toddler in the head.
None of the victim's belongings were taken, Metropolitan Police spokeswoman Detective Inspector Rebecca Reeves said. But DI Reeves also said that although the victim and her daughter did not have any visible injuries, this was a frightening experience for them.
A CCTV image of the two alleged attackers has been released after the attempted robbery in the hope that someone will recognize the perpetrators.
While both the women are described by the police from the CCTV images to be of Mediterranean appearance, with long dark brown curly hair and aged 14 to 18, I will say, despite the fact that I will be gather flack for sure with this, they do appear to be young Roma females from the Balkan region, probably, going by the way they are dressed and by looks. Alternatively they could be Albanians.
One was around 5ft and was wearing a white jacket, black mini-skirt, tiger stripe leggings, black flat shoes and was carrying a large black fake leather bag.
The second wore a black jacket, blue denim "skinny" jeans, black Ugg-style boots and had a large brown fake leather bag with gold details.
Those further description, as above, leads me further to believe that this crime has been committed by members of the Eastern European Roma community that are in London, often as "tourists", from the new member states of the EU, such as Romania, Bulgaria, and also those from the Balkans that are now in Italy, who, all three grous, unfortunately, have a way of life, and the Irish judge recently was right with this, that sees begging with menace and also robbery as something acceptable.
We, the Romani People from Britain and elsewhere in Europe who have a different way, must make it clear to those Roma that that is no way to behave and that crimes like that will not be permitted by the Romani community at large.
Police urged anyone with information on the attack to call the incident room on 07917 067 281 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Any of the community who knows anything about this please contact the police. Let us show the Gadje that we do not condone such activities. Also, maybe our own justice system needs to go into action here and do something about it.

[page v:]
ALTHOUGH the existence of aboriginal earthworks in the Western country has been known for almost a century, no mounds of imitative design intended to represent animal figures were observed, until a very recent period, when the territory now constituting the State of Wisconsin began to attract the attention of emigrants. This was in the year 1836, and I then made known through the newspapers of the day the fact of the existence of the turtle-mound at Prairie Village, now Waukesha, and of other animal effigies at various places. Since that time every opportunity has been embraced to make examinations and surveys of these highly interesting relics of the past, which have been thus not unfrequently saved from oblivion. In some instances, they were destroyed immediately or within a few days after my survey.
The American Antiquarian Society having placed at my disposal the means of paying the actual travelling and other expenses, these investigations were greatly extended; and the results are now presented, in the hope that they may have their use in the settlement of many archaeological and ethnological questions of great interest and importance.
But little effort has been made to construct hypotheses in explanation of the facts observed, or by an extended comparison with the results recorded by others, to arrive at general conclusions. The want of extensive collections of books and other facilities at the West may long prevent our inquirers, here, from entering upon such speculations.
My office has been faithfully to fulfil the duties of the surveyor: to examine and investigate the facts, and to report them as much in detail as may be necessary; leaving it to others with better opportunities, to compare them, and to establish, in connection with other means of information, such general principles as may be legitimately deduced.

Overview: Secret Fantasy by Carly Phillips
- Pub. Date: January 2009
- Publisher: Harlequin
- Format: Mass Market Paperback , 272pp
- Sales Rank: 104,009
Juliette Stanton is ten minutes away from vowing to love, honor and cherish a scheming mobster-connected liar.
For the rest of her life.
And so with the media watching her every move, the high-profile senator's daughter flees her own wedding. Dubbed "Chicago's Runaway Bride," Juliette needs somewhere to hide out, and heal her broken heart. So she heads to a "fantasy island" and pays big bucks for anonymity and the chance to meet an honest man who'll love her for who she really is. Total fantasy, right? Day one, she falls for tall, dark-haired, ocean-blue-eyed Doug Houston. He's everything she's ever wanted. Except he's not exactly who he says he is, either….
My Thoughts
Secret Fantasy by Carly Phillips is a typical light romance read. For me what made it a bit unique was the way that Juliette and Doug, who previously seemly ruined her life by outing her now ex-fiancee's mob links, meet. Juliette's sister sends her to the island where dreams are supposed to come true. This was about the only really interesting part of this book.
This book was super short and had very little plot. If you are looking for a simple sexy read this might be a good choice but we aware that this is reprint and is only 200 pages long.
My Rating
This book was okay.
*This book was purchased and all opinions are my own.

With Daring Prison-Reform Proposal, Sen. Jim Webb Tries to Make Each Word Count
Monday, July 6, 2009
RICHMOND "I'm a writer, I want to know where you're going with this," Jim Webb says suspiciously at the beginning of our chat. He has been so many things: tough guy, for sure; Ollie North's college boxing opponent, Vietnam War hero, Navy secretary, senator, Republican . . . Democrat.
But he seems most eager to define himself as a man of letters, or at least he does on this particular overcast day at his office, pausing to talk for a few minutes about what could be his greatest legislative legacy or a most uncharacteristic clunker. The Democratic senator -- er, writer -- is accustomed to controlling the narrative flow whether he's writing bestsellers or directing troops on the battlefield. Yet now, this commanding presence enters a less compliant arena, one in which he inevitably emerges as much as a protagonist as an author.
"I am, at bottom, a writer," he says, invoking his default response. "I start with a theme, rather than a plot." Webb wants to shape a plotline that, with each turn of the page, draws America closer to reinventing its criminal justice system. Questioning why the United States locks up so many of its youths, why its prisons swell with disease and atrocities while fundamental social problems persist in its streets, has earned Webb lavish praise as a politician unafraid to be smeared as soft on crime. And when a law-and-order type as rock-ribbed as Webb expresses willingness to consider legalizing or decriminalizing drugs, excitement follows.
Still, for all the attaboys, ceding control of how he or his ideas will be interpreted clearly makes Webb uncomfortable.
At 63, Jim Webb, is one year removed from withdrawing his name from a list of possible running mates for then-Sen. Barack Obama after much breathless speculation that he would be the fabled Southern Democrat who could boost the ticket. Webb looks much younger than his age, still every bit the picture of the fit warrior, with red hair and a ruddy Scotch-Irish complexion. Once he fixes that stare of his, sets that square jaw, there's little doubt that he is used to giving the orders. His voice starts somewhere deep in his throat, then emerges as a confident rumble, adding to the aura of unquestioned authority, which he asserts when the conversation turns to where his ideas about the criminal justice system could be headed. "I don't want you to perceive from an inverted syllogism where I'm going here," he says.
Even without Webb's reminders (or his casual use of syllogism, which Merriam-Webster helped us to understand as "a deductive scheme of a formal argument, consisting of a major and minor premise and a conclusion"), it would be tough to miss the fact that he is, indeed, a writer. A really good, really successful writer. His crisp, muscular prose regularly lands him on fiction bestseller lists and his stellar 1978 debut novel, "Fields of Fire," was described at the time, by no less a light than Tom Wolfe, as the "finest of the Vietnam novels."
Writing hasn't always burnished Webb's rep, though. The next year, he wrote an article in Washingtonian magazine titled "Women Can't Fight," arguing against women in combat leadership roles. The article lingers as an easy prop for Webb's detractors, even though he says he tripled the number of jobs open to women while naval secretary and cracked down on sexual harassment.
Webb's gifts as a wordsmith -- occasional kerfuffles aside -- afford him a platform unavailable to less literary senators. When he decided to propose a massive reexamination of U.S. prisons and criminal laws this past spring, he gave the usual floor speech. Whereas other senators may get confined to that usually empty chamber and its daytime C-SPAN audience, Webb went on from there to state his case by writing a Parade magazine cover story titled "Why We Must Fix Our Prisons," talking directly to its 30 million-plus Sunday readers.
"Our overcrowded, ill-managed prison systems are places of violence, physical abuse, and hate, making them breeding grounds that perpetuate and magnify the same types of behavior we purport to fear," the writer wrote.
Lawmakers who haven't been decorated for heroism on the battlefield -- and don't have that penetrating gaze -- might have less latitude to broach such themes. But Webb gets a pass.
"He's clearly not a liberal wimp," said Pat Nolan of Prison Fellowship Ministries, founded by Charles Colson. "That's what works about this politically. He's not doing this because he bleeds for prisoners."
On its face, Webb's proposal is bolder in rhetoric than in practice, to put it mildly. He wants to -- brace yourselves -- form a bipartisan commission! (The proposal is included in a bill that has attracted more than two dozen co-sponsors, but has yet to be voted on.) The commission is supposed to, among other things, come up with recommendations for reducing the overall incarceration rate, decreasing prison violence and improving treatment of mental illness inside and outside prisons.
