This pocket book is a contemporary attempt to update the original Communist Manifesto.
An odd crossbreed between academic treatise and popular political pamphlet, its regular references to the thought of philosophers like Lacan, Zizek and Ranciere will undoubtedly deter those looking for a straightforward argument. But it shouldn't, as there are gems of original thinking to be found among the esoteric philosophical discourse.
Dean lectures in political theory in New York and her book is surprisingly courageous. She argues forcefully for a communist party as a necessary focus for anti-capitalist protest and essential if a socialist/communist society is to have a chance of being built. Even so, she ignores the fact that there already is such a party in the US, albeit very small.
Dean also contends that the idea of a communist future is essential if we are to seriously consider alternatives to capitalism.
Unlike so many on the left, she advances a more differentiated and objective critique of the Soviet Union.
And she gives due attention to the many groups such as the Occupy movement and others in challenging the capitalist ethos but argues that without a party to draw the threads together, such challenges will remain impotent.
From a US perspective Dean demonstrates how anti-communism in its many forms and guises is used to confront any challenge, however innocuous, to the system - communism as a "spectre" needs to be maintained if only to scare the masses into permanent submission to the present system.
There has been a change, Dean contends, from an emphasis on class and to a view of work as personal choice and locus of meaning.
"An idea of individual work," she argues, "has replaced the sense of work as a common condition, thereby contributing to the liberation of capital from the constraints it encountered when it had to deal with the constraints of a collective force."
Any notions of class have been swept under the carpet: we only have a middle class now - however nebulous it may be - according to the main political parties.
The cover has an unfortunate similarity to the imperial Japanese flag that is somewhat off-putting but what is inside this small volume provides a very useful contribution to the debate about communism, the party and how to effectively challenge capitalism.

HOROSCOPES: Jan. 13
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — If you first lay a sturdy foundation, something in which you're presently involved will have excellent chances for success. Begin building now for your tomorrows.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Outward appearances tend to be more significant than you might like, currently. If you hope to inspire someone or get his or her support, you must first look like a leader.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Your intuitive perceptions could provide you with a great deal of valuable information. This is because your hunches are likely to reveal many things that your logic ignores.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Although you are naturally assertive, try to be a bit more laid back when dealing with friends. Sometimes you can gain more from letting others take the reins.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Certain meaningful objectives can be reached if you focus only on them and nothing else. You're likely to fall short if you lack the necessary concentration and fortitude.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Make an effort to try to broaden your perspective and widen your horizons. The larger your scope of observation, the more opportunities you're likely to find.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — You're not going to find a better day to investigate situations that have aroused your curiosity. By applying yourself, you should be able to ferret out useful information.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Take plenty of time to weigh both sides of an important issue. By doing so, you'll be more able to structurally apply what you learn.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Make sure you have plenty of backup if you're taking on something that could require assistance. Better to be safe instead of sorry.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Under no circumstances should you go along with something that you instinctively feel does not serve your best interests. Show commitment to your decision, and your independence will be respected. Continued...
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Being able to tie up any loose ends will clear the air and put you at peace, not to mention make this a very productive day for you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Although you are likely to be more mentally than physically restless, you can gratify your impulses by sharing your time with some stimulating companions who make you think.

Harlan Estate: When thinking of Harlan Estate, it's hard to not think about perfection. In the span of 9 years, the estate has produced 4 wines with perfect Robert Parker ratings. With a powerful punch, long finish, outstanding balance and complexity, these perfect gems are knockout wines that must be tasted to be believed!
Harlan Estate Wine Ratings (Perfection):
1994 Harlan Estate - RP 100 - What can I say about the 1994? I have tasted the wine for three consecutive years, and each time it satisfied all of my requirements for perfection. The opaque purple color is followed by spectacular aromatics that soar from the glass, offering up celestial levels of black currants, minerals, smoked herbs, cedar wood, coffee, and pain grille. In the mouth, this seamless legend reveals full body, and exquisite layers of phenomenally pure and rich fruit, followed by a 40+ second finish. While accessible, the 1994 begs for another 5-7 years of cellaring. It should easily last for 30+ years. Every possible jagged edge - acidity, alcohol, tannin, and wood - is brilliantly intertwined in what seems like a diaphanous format. What is so extraordinary about this large-scaled wine, with its dazzling display of aromatics and prodigious flavors and depth, is that it offers no hint of heaviness or coarseness. Harlan's 1994 comes close to immortality in the glass. Much of this wine will be sold to the winery's mailing list customers. If you miss out on the 1994, try and get on the waiting list for future vintages. While perfect wines are few and far between, history has taught me that wineries with such lofty aspirations as Harlan Estate will continue to push the envelop of quality.
1997 Harlan Estate - RP 100 - The 1997 Harlan Estate is one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines I have ever tasted. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this enormously-endowed, profoundly rich wine must be tasted to be believed. Opaque purple-colored, it boasts spectacular, soaring aromatics of vanilla, minerals, coffee, blackberries, licorice, and cassis. In the mouth, layer after layer unfold powerfully yet gently. Acidity, tannin, and alcohol are well-balanced by the wine's unreal richness and singular personality. The finish exceeds one minute.
2001 Harlan Estate - RP 100 - Rivaling the 1994 and 1997, the 2001 Harlan Estate is a perfect wine for my palate. Tasted on four separate occasions, this offering, which spent 28 months in oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered, is an extraordinary effort that comes across as a hypothetical blend of Mouton-Rothschild, La Mission-Haut-Brion, and Montrose. A synthesis in style between the more elegant, delineated, structured 1994, and the port-like, over-the-top, viscous 1997, this extraordinary 2001 was the �wine of my trip,� even though I had already had it from bottle several months earlier. An inky/purple color is accompanied by a stupendous bouquet of lead pencil shavings interwoven with coffee, new saddle leather, melted licorice, cedarwood, black currant liqueur, and violets. Explosive richness, a marvelous, full-bodied texture, and fabulous purity, concentration, complexity, and nobleness are the stuff of legends.
2002 Harlan Estate - RP 100 - I believe the 2001 Harlan Estate and 2002 Harlan Estate�s 100 point scores represent the first time I have given perfect ratings to two successive wines produced in the New World. However, the styles of the two wines couldn�t be more different as each reflects its particular vintage. The 2001 is a classic, long-lived, backward wine with most of its potential concealed at present. On the other hand, it is impossible to resist the flamboyant, extroverted 2002 Harlan Estate�s charm, richness, and overall seductive personality. This profoundly complex wine exhibits notes of cedar, black currant liqueur, scorched earth, smoke, and graphite. Incredibly broad, sweet, full-bodied, opulent, and voluptuous, it literally has everything one could ever want in a great Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine. Already drinkable, it promises to evolve effortlessly for 25-30 years. This prodigious offering is worth mortgaging the farm! Bill Harlan, winemaker Bob Levy and consulting oenologist Michel Rolland have achieved spectacular results in an amazingly short time at this estate in the western hills overlooking the Oakville corridor. The introduction of a second wine, The Maiden, has allowed this team to ratchet up the level of the grand cru. From over 40 acres of vineyard, only 1,500-1,600 cases of Harlan Estate and 800 cases of The Maiden are produced. In order to keep quality at such an extraordinary level, I suspect production will never go much higher.

The first two days from the series of storms moving through the Northstate have had quite an impact on many people from shoveling snow off walkways to chain requirements and highway closures greeting holiday travelers. The Shasta Skipark opened on Friday but it was next to impossible to get up there. Although there will still be plenty of chain requirements on Saturday for most of the mountain highways we may actually catch a break Saturday afternoon before the last in a series of storms moves through. Bottom line, if you plan on travelling in the mountains this weekend be sure to check the latest road conditions before heading out.
Redding and as far south as Cottonwood got to see some snowflakes Friday morning but most of the accumulation was on cars and grassy areas. Redding will most likely see a rain/snow mix Friday night into Saturday morning. Otherwise, we've got another round of heavy rain in parts of the valley and heavy snow in the mountains at least through early Saturday morning before it tapers off a bit through the afternoon.
The third and final storm will move through late Saturday night into Sunday morning giving us our last round of heavy rain and mountain snow.
We will see a break from the wet weather on Monday before we see another chance for showers on Christmas day.

In case any of you are still mad that I did not return your calls with questions about the alpaca fleece show at the Great Frederick Fair (see entry below) I was huddled up in a hotel room in the Yucatan with extra bottles of water, crackers and candles waiting to get pounded by Hurricane Dean. I hope you feel bad for being impatient with me now!
Above is the little chart that appeared in the "Diario de Yucatan" on my birthday this year. This chart was scanned as-is from the newspaper except the very little red dot, which was added by me to show the exact location of myself, my husband and our kids on August 17. In case you don't read spanish, that headline reads, "a menacing trajectory." This was a CATEGORY 5! The CNN guys were wetting themselves in excitement about our impending doom. In the end (after a few tense days) the storm passed just below us.
So, sorry if I called you back late but my flight was scheduled for the day the hurricane hit. However, we WILL be pushing back the deadline for alpaca fleece entries at the Great Frederick Fair due to me not being happy with the amount of entries so Please Enter Right Now! Just think of how good your chance to win is when other people are too lazy to enter! Did I mention the amazingly knowledgeable judge and the big, shiny ribbons?
Meanwhile, back at the farm, I have, of course, not finished my own two entries for the alpaca show and time is getting short......
Still trying to finish hand combing my little baby fleece mentioned in
this post
Here is me, "charging the comb" otherwise known as filling the little hand comb with pieces of alpaca but NOT TOO FULL! In case you don't know, fleeces that are combed and spun tightly are called "worsted" preparation and those that are carded and spun loosely are "woolen" preparation. That matters if you want a men's suit made out of alpaca (worsted) as opposed to a crew neck, fisherman's sweater (woolen.) We don't want our suits to be fluffy nor our sweaters to be shiny and flat.
Then I "comb" from one comb to the other holding them perpendicular to one another. Whatever is stuck on the original comb and won't comb off should be thrown out as these are shorter pieces. When you comb a fleece, you end up throwing out about half of it! But, what is left is really perfect and aligned with no pills, bumps or slubs.
After I comb back and forth from comb to comb, throwing out what is left behind the tines each time, I carefully draw off the "sliver." If you have never heard the word sliver, it is the equivalent of "roving" but rovings are "carded" with hand cards or a drum carder, not combed.
Now, if I wanted to be absolutely perfect in my worstedness, I would have draw the sliver off of the comb through a "diz." However, I am just too lazy to do that even though I do own a very cute little diz made of caribou horn or some such thing. Here is a photo of a diz:
Here is my "cheater's sliver."
If I finish enough of these little guys, I will be able to spin them up in time to make one of my two hand spun alpaca skein entries for the great Frederick Fair.
Speaking of which, we will be judging the fleeces there on Monday, September 17th after 10 am. Come and meet alpaca fleece expert Wini Labrecque and learn all about alpaca fleece judging by watching and hearing her comments. We'll be at the entrance to the sheep barns.
See you there!

Wini Labrecque judging alpaca fleeces at the Great Frederick Fair, 2006
IMPORTANT NOTICE!!! We will be judging the fleeces at the alpaca fleece show at the Great Frederick Fair, 2007 on Monday, September 17 and NOT Sunday September 16 as stated in the catalog. I will be receiving fleeces for the show on Saturday, September 15 from 9am until 3pm but you have to pre-enter so keep reading!
Alpacas and fleeces from ANY STATE may enter this regional fair!
OK, I have already tried to nag you into entering the Great Frederick Fair's alpaca fleece show (in my previous post) but I would be crazy not to gloat about the Super-Amazing fleece show judge whose services I have secured as judge of this year's fleece show at the Great Frederick Fair. She is, of course, Wini Labrecque!
I have had the pleasure of serving as alpaca fleece show superintendent for several alpaca shows with Wini as our judge and she has always gone way above and beyond when it came to spending time educating the alpaca fleece exhibitors about how they could have done better, in preparing their fleeces, what characteristics each fleece possessed; she even discusses the overall health of their alpacas based on what she sees in their fleeces. This woman is the real thing! To get the opinion of this person for only a $10. (hand spun skeins only $7!) is a pretty serious bargain. Don't miss out on it!
PS. We also give HUGE, pretty ribbons AND money if you win!
If you are not sure that you know how to prepare your alpaca fleeces, Enter the Show and get Wini's opinion of what you could have done better! This show caters to brand new alpaca exhibitors. No one will make you feel foolish. I am the superintendent and I guarantee it!
Wini is a teacher of spinning, felting and weaving. She also co-owns a business that provides custom fiber services from hand spinning to finished knit or woven clothing from the owner's own fleeces. She is currently involved in a project to develop a wash and wear alpaca fabric. She is working with the NC College of Textiles in Research & Development of this product. She also gives an excellent seminar in how to skirt your alpaca fleeces.
Her experience in judging alpaca fleece shows, spinning competitions and in lecturing on alpaca fleece topics is too extensive to list out here. You can find out more on her website:

my son, Nick - napping in the alpaca pen at the Great Frederick Fair
Once Again, I will be the alpaca fleece show superintendent for the
Great Frederick Fair's Alpaca Fleece Show.
This is NOT a county fair, but a large, regional, agricultural fair with huge crowds of people. This is a fair where I have sold alpacas & breedings and bought alpacas and breedings and so have many others. So there are many potential customers here. But, it is a fun, laid back show and very inexpensive to enter!
PLEASE ENTER both halter classes and the fleece show, especially the FLEECE SHOW! Here is a link to the fair catalog's entry info:
Fair Catalog - alpaca page
Want to know how fun this fair is?, what it's like to show there? What it looks like and what other things are going on there? Here is a link to some of my blog entries from last year's Great Frederick Fair along with MANY photos.
Great Frederick Fair 2006 Blog Entries
New to alpaca showing and scared to go in the ring? Want pointers? Here is a link to my blog entry on how to show alpacas:
Secrets of Alpaca Showing
Want to know how to enter your fleeces at Frederick? Just e-mail me from the link saying "Contact Me" above at right or call me, Kate Perez, at: (301) 607-9129.
Warning! I have a well-deserved reputation for bullying other alpaca people into using, showing and selling their fleeces! If enough of you alpaca people don't enter the fleece show, I'll have to hunt you down and that won't be pretty so
Don't Make Me Come Find You!

Yay, I finally got my brand new, Alpaca Heritage Events T-shirt from Yvette ( Wool and Gray Alpacas ) but, for some reason, they forgot to write "President Emerita of Alpaca Heritage Events" on the back like they were supposed to. I love it though - thanks Yvette and other "current" members of Alpaca Heritage Events.
Meanwhile, I continue to toil away at combing the rose-gray alpaca fleece of my doomed Galadriel (mentioned in the previous post) and, when my hands get too sore, I switch to knitting on my Crazy Alpaca Scarf. I decided to take some of my left over hand spun alpaca yarns and put them together in a crazy scarf and, when it is done, I will throw it in the washer and full it. For those of you who are not in-the-know about fleece related crafts, "Felting" is only the correct word if you are taking the raw alpaca fiber and felting it into something. If you knit first and then felt, it is called "fulling"or sometimes, even "cheating" because it's much easier than real felting. Okay - lecture over.
I happen to have a fondness for weird knitted items. If I were a Harry Potter character (3 days left and counting!!! and, I am going out on a limb here but I predict that Snape killed Dumbledore on Dumbledore's orders!) I would definitely be Mrs. Weasley with all her strange, half-ugly, knitted clothing, so this crazy alpaca scarf will either be weird-but-cool or just plain weird. We won't know until we see it. Here is it almost halfway done:
I feel like I spend a lot of time this summer answering the well-meaning question: "Don't you miss the alpacas?" Well, yeah. Wouldn't you? But, I have my ways of coping.
Aside from working on various alpaca fleece projects, I can also cheer myself up by reminding myself that I still have nice little animals around to enjoy. In fact, I have been stalking a Momma Deer and her twin fawns all summer on the pretext that I have to "practice" learning the controls of my new Digital SLR camera. (This camera IS pretty hard to learn though!)
So I have crawled around the edges of my cornfield, crouched behind a bunch of cat-o-nine tails on the edge of my pond and run through the woods looking through the lens of my camera trying to get that perfect deer or baby deer shot. I don't recommend the latter - a lot of facial scratches and poison ivy rashes later, I still didn't get the shot but I did manage to trip over a stump and slam into the ground hard. Of course I held the camera up in the air to protect it during the fall. I have health insurance but not camera insurance.
Turns out that photographing alpacas was hard but getting actual "WILDLIFE" is MUCH harder. Here are some of my early efforts:
Momma Deer jumping out of cornfield
Momma Deer and one of the twins running through cornfield - otherwise known as the "butt shot."
Blurry baby deer exiting the woods.
Baby deer now in focus - if only tree was not located right there!
This shot of the deer in front of my pond would have been so great - if only it had been in focus!
Whenever I did not have my camera with me, the deer seemed content to just stand and stare at me or even lie on the grass dozing as I walked by them - THE LITTLE BRATS!
I got this photo of Mama deer when she walked up to me and did that scary huffing noise and stamped her little hooves at me as if to say, "Stop following us!"
And, I had given up on getting the twins at all when I walked out in the middle of the day to let my dog out and found them dozing on my back lawn.
OK, they are not alpacas but the are sort of alpaca-ish. Same body size and type but without the fleece. Now that I do not have to worry about them giving Meningeal Worm to my alpacas, I feel very fond of them.
Meanwhile, back on the farm of my friend Amanda Little Wing Farm Alpacas , her girl, Goddess, had been refusing to drop that cria even though she was at least a month overdue. She finally had her on July 15 but at least she was smart enough to give birth by 8:30 a.m. before it got too hot. No word on the name of this pretty little girl:
And, lest I forget my own alpaca girls (OK, OK, my FORMER alpaca girls!) Sue Hammer Wildwood Alpacas sent this photo of the sons of Pinka (the pretty white boy on the left) and Gladdie . Their moms are immortalized on my website under the History of our Farm page.
And finally, for those of you who remember my old post about Tom Perez Alpaca Farmer vs. Tom Perez, politician, where I mocked the politician and then ran into him at our kids' summer camp, HERE , here is a photo of the two Toms - together at last.That should end the controversy about whether MY Tom Perez - former alpaca farmer and alpaca shearer extraordinaire (on right in photo) is the same Tom Perez who ran for attorney general of MD.

PROPOSALS to extend a Wisbech school which is expecting a 50 per cent increase in pupils have been announced.
The county council launched the expansion plan for The Orchards Primary School, in Cherry Road, this week.
A council spokesman said: "A rise in the birth rate in Wisbech and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire means extra school places will be needed from September 2013 and beyond."
It will mean the school being able to admit 90 reception aged children (four plus) from September and in subsequent years.
A spokesman said: "These plans will enable a sufficient number of reception places to be provided in Wisbech in the 2013 and 2014 academic years.
"Internal alterations are already being discussed with the school to enable it to take the additional children it will have on roll over the next two years."
Pupil numbers will have risen from 420 to 630 by the time a permanent extension is completed in time for September 2016.
A statutory notice detailing the proposals will be published next month, followed by a four-week period when residents and other interested parties can support, object to or comment on the plans.
Wisbech North county councillor Sam Hoy said: "Children born within its catchment area will naturally want to attend the school when they reach the age of four, and this proposal to expand the school will enable them to do that."
The school was officially opened in 2005 with a visit by the Princess Royal.

IAMCR news
Karol Jakubowicz
It is with deep sorrow that we report the death of Polish professor and journalist Karol Jakubowicz, who passed away April 28th.
Karol was an active IAMCR member for many years and contributed greatly to our meetings and discussions. He was a leading expert on European media and held many prominent positions. He led committees on media issues at the Council of Europe and UNESCO, and served as Director of the Polish Television. Karol was also an adviser on broadcast media laws to governments, NGOs and international organizations, including the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media.
We are currently discussing a memorial session commemorating Karol's work at the IAMCR Dublin conference.
IAMCR joins Women Make the News 2013

The new Executive Board and International Council held their first meetings on 20 July.
Mapping Communication Associations
ECREA, IAMCR and ICA have launched a joint online inventory of communication associations worldwide. All communication associations are invited to create an entry in the database.
As more associations make themselves known, the database will gradually grow into the first ever searchable database of communication associations. At this stage, the database is publicly accessible and can be navigated either by browsing or using keywords.
The "Mapping Communication Associations" website is hosted by Université Libre de Bruxelles and can be found here.
Every year IAMCR sponsors a panel at the conference of the International Communication Association (ICA).
This year ICA's conference was held in Phoenix, Arizona from 24 to 28 May and the IAMCR panel was held on Friday 25 May with the title "Critical approaches to Communication and Community".
Proposal to amend IAMCR's statutes and by-laws
The Legal Committee of IAMCR was requested by the International Council and the President to draft the changes in the statutes and the by-laws needed to enact Electronic Voting for the IAMCR Executive Board and the elected members of the International Council in the future. The President of IAMCR, Annabelle Sreberny, will bring these changes to the General Assembly in Durban.

Media and Conflict: Escalating Evil
Cees J. Hamelink
The world faces explosive conflicts about the distribution and scarcity of resources, about ethnicity and religion, and about the risks of urban life. These conflicts can easily spiral out of control toward mass slaughter—an evil of huge proportions that is often escalated by the media. What should be done to prevent this lethal trend? How do media create anxiety, provide space for agitation, and disconnect people?

I ordered my from JetMall 8 days ago and I did not get a verification email from their order verification server. When you register in the Cowon America support site the registration page mentions that several ISPs are filtering Cowon registration verification emails. Email them or if possible give them a call to verify your order. I received a UPS Tracking email two days later and I got my black D2 4GB yesterday.

Cowon D2, still the audio KING

I ordered my D2 the day they got the players back in stock, and my player hasn't shipped yet. But my order shows the player is "Ready To Ship".
I have a feeling that they have so many D2 orders to fill, that they're struggling to pack and ship them all. So they pack as many orders as they can, then ship them all at once - which may cause a longer delay in when our orders are shipped. The demand must be high on the D2, so I kind of expect them to be going crazy over at Jetmall

Two Americas
I don't think America has been this divided since the Civil War. A war between the makers and the takers has given Barack Obama his second term and the few are taking control over the many with nary a whimper of protest coming from those who are the many. We who are the majority are losing our Freedoms at a record pace to please the few who scream the loudest.
When will the Majority Stand Up and say Enough Already?

(amended April 2013)
All members of the faculty annually receive from the President, on or before April 15, an annual contract specifying salary and the amounts to be paid on behalf of the member for all fringe benefits for the coming fiscal year. Salaries are paid in twelve monthly installments, beginning July 31. Many members take advantage of the automatic deposit program available through local banks. Income taxes, social security taxes, TIAA/CREF Retirement Fund contributions, and insurance premiums are withheld by arrangement with the member. So also are occasional charges for services of the College.
The employment of new faculty members ordinarily begins with the start of the fiscal year, July 1. They are therefore eligible to receive their first salary checks on July 31, but may receive it only after taking up residence in Gambier. Questions about paychecks, deductions, and charges should be addressed to the Payroll Manager. Additional income accruing to a member from royalties, summer work, consultations, public appearances, and the like, of course, belongs to the member, but members should keep the Provost fully informed of their extramural activities that produce income in addition to their salaries.

Here's one way to infer that the kids at J.R. Masterman, known as Philadelphia's premier public high school, are your classic overachievers: When Steve Gilligan's two advanced-placement government classes were told to pick sides for the school's 14th mock debate, both classes chose Team Romney (a dispute resolved, in the end, by a coin toss). Everyone wanted the challenge of trying to sway a liberal student body, explains Johana Barxha, 17, treasurer for the Romney campaign. "And we got some really great results," she says. "Some of our polls have shown a 12 percent increase for the Romney campaign."
The goal, says Gilligan, "is to increase voter efficacy and fight apathy … so that when they do hit 18 they feel they can help direct what government does." The effort used to be supported by a program of the Annenberg Public Policy Center, but that funding has dried up.
Which leaves Gilligan and, of course, the students running the show. "I haven't slept much in the past couple weeks," admits Natashia De Lamo, 17, clutching a wireless headset. The campaign manager for the Obama effort describes her job as "going around with our candidate, being his mother and secretary," while pushing social media and marketing efforts. De Lamo says she's learned some vital lessons about the teenage constituency. Chief among them: "The way to get students to listen to you is to buy them food. So for every item of food you give out, you have to have facts attached to them." An event called Guac with Barack went over particularly well.
Before the surrogate nominees faced off, Mayor Michael Nutter took the stage to encourage civic engagement. He mentioned the likelihood of getting actual "information from this debate" (as opposed, apparently, to the ones involving the actual candidates). Republican Councilman David Oh also addressed students, rummaging through his wallet for the totem of his membership in American adult society — "it's not a tattoo, it's not a gun … it's a voter-registration card."
So does all this make an impact on how young people vote? "I've been brainwashed by the Romney campaign," admitted one student who had been working for the Republican camp and found the message, at least for the moment, compelling. The student, however, didn't want to be identified as a potential Romney voter, explaining, "I'd probably get pummeled."

Why does patch DELETE (or perhaps the right word is CENSOR) the Howard County Police Department's Daily Crime Bulletin? When I look at what the HoCo PD publishes I see you have removed some key information from the suspect descriptions:
"Suspect 1: Black male, early 20's, wearing a black jacket, white shoes and carrying a blue and black backpack."
"Suspect 2: Black male, early 20's, goatee, wearing a black jacket, a beanie knit hat and black shoes." Please explain Patch reporter person...
9:41 am on Friday, November 16, 2012
It would be politically incorrect to list the FULL description of the perps. Apparently The Patch feels no one needs to know the race but every other description is necessary. Just look for a "guy" in "a black jacket, white shoes and carrying a blue and black backpack." That narrows down who to be on the lookout for eh?
10:15 am on Friday, November 16, 2012
I completely agree with above comment. Why would you remove an identifying characteristic from the description?
10:55 am on Friday, November 16, 2012
Exactly!! Race of the suspect is important. If the suspect(s) were women, you wouldn't say "person", you would say "woman".
Too much PC is counter-productive. Give a description! White, Black, Asian, Latino...
11:33 am on Friday, November 16, 2012
I believe this comes from an old reporting principal that the race of suspects are considered irrelevant in crime reporting as long as it isn't pertinent to the article or crime. In this case however, with suspects on the loose I feel like it is pertinent.
Reporting post arrest stories is really what I think this rule was designed for as it doesn't matter the race of the person arrested.
1:24 pm on Friday, November 16, 2012
Yes, you are on target about the selective edits. Very unprofessional to make such a change.
Andrew Metcalf
2:40 pm on Friday, November 16, 2012
Hi, thanks for the comments. We've updated the article, with a correction, to include the full descriptions provided by police. It is Patch's policy to provide detailed descriptions of suspects if they're provided by police. Omitting the race in the original article was an oversight, which has been corrected. Thank you for your concern, we regret the error.

I think the question should not be about political correctness but about standards of journalistic professionalism and ethics. For a reporter who has an advanced degree in journalism to summarily censor the news just strikes me as irresponsible, among other things. I would like to know if Patch has an editorial policy on this matter, and if so what it is and who's in charge of ensuring adherence. How can we trust ANY information that we see on Patch if there is continual censorship of the information they present? Their actions are reminiscent of state run media in communist China, are they not?

One last thing. I love how the headline says:
"Robbery on Route 29 Footbridge: Crime Roundup
This information was supplied by the Howard County Police Department."
What it should really say is something like:
"...This information was supplied by the Howard County Police Department and censored by our reporter to remove pertinent information that would be of use to you."

Newspapers have given much thought to whether and when to publish race in descriptions. Listing "black" or "white" man or woman wearing certain clothing doesn't narrow the search much. Facial hair, height and weight, scars or tattoos add useful detail, but generally hundreds if not thousands of people fit a vague description that includes race, age and clothing. Only a detailed description or sketch might prompt a reader to identify a suspect as someone they know or have seen. Police can use this info to eliminate suspects and narrow a search, but vague descriptions are fairly useless in a crime story -- although they can confirm some people's preconceived notions of what a criminal looks like. Most newspapers don't publish every bit of information given out by police--that would be being a PR department.

TONKIN lives in Victoria, Australia.
You are correct in that Rheinhold and Reginald are the same person, the registrar seems to have had problems either with the name or the transcription as it seemed blotted. He was born 6th November 1889 but wasn't registered until 27th January 1890.
Thank you for your comment sandieC.
I expected something like this may have happened. I have come across this sort of thing many times over the years and I think people should keep things like this in mind when having trouble trying to locate a birth and death for someone. There are of course many other reasons. Hope your comment will help others.

A former Hartford Select Board member was sentenced yesterday at U.S. District Court in Burlington for distributing hydrocodone in Vermont. Reginald Tatro, 63, was credited for time served and received one year of supervised release. According to court records, Tatro received a package of prescription pills the Hartford Village Post Office on Nov. 24, 2010. Police obtained a federal warrant, discovered hydrocodone and arrested Tatro.
Tatro was addicted to prescription pain medication and supported his habit by selling the drug in the Hartford area, according to prosecutors. He pleaded guilty at his arraignment last year. The case was investigated by the Southern Vermont Drug Task Force.MORE IN This Just InState awarded security grants Full StoryFire marshals investigate blaze Full StoryBENNINGTON A developer has received state and federal permits to generate electricity at a...

Tristan & Iseult
Thu, 09/08/2011 - 23:48 | by Renmazuo
A millennium before Romeo and Juliet, another doomed love - that between the Breton Tristan and the Irish princess Iseult - passed into legend. Some of the stories have the pair running off to France to live out their days; in others, they're both murdered by a jealous husband. Sometimes Tristan is a knight at King Arthur's court, other times a wandering Pict. Against a backdrop of war between the Irish and the Celtic peoples of ancient Britain, the pair fall in love and play out their respective roles in the fate of the whole of the British Isles.

Education is important. And the team at Advanced Healing Therapies knows it. Anke Cacciola, the business's founder, graduated from the Florida School of Massage in 1992 and holds a total of seven professional licenses and certifications, making her seven times more qualified for her career than the degree-lacking Ben Franklin was for his. Her partner, John Neumann, has 15 years of massage therapy experience, and a master's degree in metaphysics. They leverage their wide and deep pool of knowledge to foster overall wellness via myriad traditional and alternative therapies.
Their medical massages focus on relieving pain, and the use of hot stones on the back relaxes bodies, unlike the use of hot stones on someone's touchscreen computer monitor. The team also augments the effectiveness of their treatments with reflexology sessions or reiki therapy, which uses healing energies to impart calm and balance.
With 30 years of experience, the staff at Ormond Beach Medical Center helps clients reduce pain and prevent future injuries with massage therapy, sports medicine, and chiropractic and acupuncture care. Board-certified Dr. Richard Branoff and family nurse-practitioner Ellen Branoff also take care of people of all ages through comprehensive family medicine. They focus on preventive care by giving routine checkups, immunizing patients, and swaddling patients in bubble wrap.
Dr. Marc Ott has learned much about the human body in his years of treating sore muscles and spinal conditions, but one lesson stands out. "It's rare that what has made one patient better will be the same for the next," he claims, and in keeping with this belief he and his staff strive to integrate traditional and alternative practices within their customized health-care plans.
More often than not, these plans involve some combination of chiropractic care and massage therapy. The former can relieve chronic pains with spinal adjustments, nutritional counseling, and holistic lifestyle advice, while the latter targets adhesions with Swedish, deep-tissue, and lymphatic-drainage techniques. These treatments—along with specialized procedures such as joint injections—can provide long-lasting relief from injuries sustained while playing sports or leveling parking meters with your monster truck.
Licensed massage therapist Marcy Lynne Allen understands clients face a daunting task in carving out free time, so she helps them out by scheduling most of her appointments for the evening and weekend. Working out of the Blakely House, she tailors each session with differing modalities, drawing largely upon Swedish and deep-tissue techniques. With the long, gliding strokes of Swedish massage, Marcy applies light to medium pressure, relieving tension while also stimulating circulation and lymphatic movement. She then targets areas of chronic pain with deep-tissue work, excavating tension and valuable rubies buried in muscles' deepest layers.
Licensed massage therapist Dorothy Mallett has been soothing sore backs for long enough to understand that no two are the same. In order to heal the wide range of ailments she confronts on a daily basis, she integrates several ancient massage techniques into her sessions. Though her targeted strokes are effective enough on their own, Dorothy often enhances them with warm oils and creams, hot stones, and moist heat to melt away tension and prevent friction. Massages aren't the only spa treatments she has mastered. Her organic facials tend to skin above the shoulders by removing oil from pores and embarrassing traces of mom's lipstick from cheeks.
Massage Therapy's licensed therapist, Michael Manning, convinces snarled muscles to let loose under the supervision of his dexterous digits, which are fluent in three main modalities. The slow strokes of Swedish massage soothe muscles into a state of relaxation normally experienced only by cooked pasta. Limbs that have been injured or overworked during athletic encounters unclench with sports massages, and therapeutic sessions return mobility to stiff appendages without surgically implanting extra elbows.

Braised lamb shank.
SINGAPORE - The east side of Singapore may be known for its relaxed vibe and balmy air, but it's surprisingly lacking when it comes to contemporary dining in a verdant setting. Aside from The Coastal Settlement in the far reaches of Changi, and the small stretch where Playground @ Big Splash sits, there are few others that offer a tranquil park setting for dining that is now common in other parts of Singapore like Punggol, Bukit Timah or Dempsey.
Enter Cafe Melba, a laidback Melbourne-inspired eatery hidden away in Goodman Arts Centre, and facing a pretty green field on which children and pets are free to run around. Since it opened in July, it's become a hit with residents in the area who pack the place, particularly on weekends.
Eggs Benedict.
Built on what was formerly a basketball court, the space is clad in glass walls, with an open kitchen on one end, and a bar on the other. Pops of colours on the soft furnishing give it a cheery vibe.
The kitchen - helmed by group executive chef New Zealander Kacey Whaitiri-Roberts - dishes out simple, comfort fare the likes of pizzas, pastas, braised lamb shanks and brunch classics such as eggs Benedict and smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on toast. There is even a beef rendang (served with chips), made from the managing director's Malay mother-in-law's family recipe.
On weekdays, the all-day breakfast menu offers just three items, but they are ample enough: A fruit salad (S$10), free range eggs Benedict (S$16) and a hearty "Full Melba" cooked breakfast (S$22) that includes eggs, bacon, roasted cherry tomatoes, beans, mushrooms and toast.
The serving of eggs Benedict was excellent - wobbly, runny and with a generous drizzle of hollandaise sauce. On weekends, the brunch menu is larger and includes, among other things, a stack of sturdy pancakes (S$14) that hungrily soak up the maple syrup and berry compote that they are served with.
Parma ham and rocket pizza.
At lunch, I tried a bowl of vongole (clams) with squid ink pasta (S$17 for 500g), which was unfortunately, bland. The supple handmade pasta also wasn't a good match for the chewy clams. In contrast, the braised lamb shank (S$30) was full of flavour and utterly comforting with its silky mashed potatoes and minted peas.
The beef rendang (S$18), in true Singaporean fashion, was full of spicy kick and redolent with the citrusy endnotes of lemongrass and lime leaves. As someone who doesn't need rice more than once a week, I was thrilled that it was served with crisp shoestring fries. A special gas pizza oven turns out the Italian pies in extremely high heat. And though our Parma ham and rocket pizza (starting from S$18 for a nine-inch pie) was quite satisfying, it didn't have the same blistered and charred crust that you get with a wood-fire oven.
Still, there's plenty on the menu to return for - along with a priceless setting.

A beautiful Fine Silver REAL Leaf Pendant w. Freshwater Pearl Necklace... Inspired by nature
Poem & Image by:
McGuffy Ann Morris
In honour of:
All of the women
who love & nurture
all living beings
She feathered the nest with hopes and dreams
love and security bound up at the seams.
As time flew by love grew stronger,
until it couldn't be held any longer.
As they grew older she emptied the nest,
knowing that she had done her best.
She watched the young ones making their own;
a heart full of love is never alone.
Life is a circle to which we are bound;
love we give out comes back around.

Click for Info! Click for Info! Legislative Day Form/Sign Up Hotel Information Friends of Fairs, The Washington State Fairs Association "Legislative Day" at the Capitol will be Thursday, February 21, 2013. Every member Fair has heard the story for the past several years… the plea to keep funding. There is still much work to be done in educating our legislators that the Fair fund is NOT an entitlement program. The Fair fund needs to be viewed as an economic investment to the State of Washington which has an immediate return to the communities that the Fairs serve. This year, the battle has become personal. Each individual Fair must make an impact on their legislators, citing their unique stories and history. Legislative day gives you that opportunity to meet with legislators in person and explain the importance of the Fair Fund. No one can communicate better with your Representatives and Senator than you, their constituent. Each year, we state that our goal is to have as many members of Washington State Fairs attend this event as possible to make the point that the Fair Fund must be saved or re-established. Each year, a few yet faithful make the trek to Olympia to do so. This year, that simply will not be enough. It is important that EVERY Fair in Washington State have a representative in Olympia. If an actual member is not available, perhaps a service member you have utilized may be able to make those contacts. Please make your appointments now to visit with your Legislators on February 21st, their schedules fill up very fast and it may be very difficult to get one if you wait too long. The link below will help you find your legislator. If your legislative district has more than one fair, please coordinate appointments with them. After making your appointment, please contact us so we can chart all the contacts. This will help us plan the day. Please send your legislative appointment schedule to email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com. Thursday, February 21: 7:30 AM Meet at the Irv Newhouse Building - Meeting Room Basement 2 for our Welcome, Orientation, material pick up and the strategy meeting. By 9:00 AM Depart for Meetings you have setup with your Legislators. How do you Participate? Complete the reservation form at the bottom of this page. Call all of your legislators (three per district) and setup appointments. The sooner the better, their schedules fill up fast. Let the WSFA Office know when you havean appointment so we know what legislators will be visited. This helps us plan and allows us to make sure we get all the Legislators contacted about our funding issues. More information will be sent as soon as your Fairs commitment is made. Important Information to Help you Plan your Day! How to find your legislator: http://app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder/ Capital Campus parking: http://www.leg.wa.gov/legislature/Pages/Parking.aspx Capital Campus map: http://www.leg.wa.gov/CodeReviser/Documents/Campus-Map.pdf The following statements provided in the WA Fairs Economic Impact Report completed in 2006 create the foundation for our reasons to continue receiving the full balance of the Fair Fund: · In 2005 7.8 million people attended events held at fairgrounds throughout Washington State, more than the state population of 6.3 million people (Washington State Office of Financial Management, 2006). By comparison, 4.6 million people visited Seattle Center and approximately 1.2 million attended events at Key Arena in 2005(Beyers, 2006). · Gross economic impacts from Washington State fairs and other fairground activities were between $350 million and $385 million in 2005. · Fairs and fairground activities supported between an estimated 5,630 to 5,807 temporary jobs in 2005 with numerous more volunteer opportunities. · Estimated labor income for all jobs related to the fairs is between $48 million and $51million in 2005. · Estimated tax revenues generated by fair and non-fair gross economic activity range between $22.7 million and $25.0 million in 2005. · Fairs and other fairground activities played a vital role in fund raising for many non-profit groups throughout the state. · In addition to the economic contribution that fairgrounds provide to the state, they can also provide a space for emergency services (The Daily Herald, 2006). |
Legislators are looking for the following information. Please have it ready when you contact them. 1) Fair Funds percentage to overall budget. What is it used for? 2) Economic impact on fair users/service groups. 3) Percentage of Youth as participants *especially important to county fairs 4) How will it effect jobs Anger is not winning over votes… good relationships are! |
