I promised you a good post! We've got an interview with an amazing individual, and an even more amazing illustrator Jordan Debney!
We hope you are going to be just as excited as we were when New Zealander Jordan Debney and his amazingly crazy illustrations crossed our paths! Join us as we discover more about this fantastic illustrator and just actually what a 'Quadricorn' actually is…
DL: Tell us about who you are Jordan and what you do?
JD: Well I am a male human being, (self proclaimed) artist from New Zealand (it's that tiny speck in the lower right hand of a generic map of the world). I have a great love for monsters and all things repulsive, horror movies and ice cream. I attempt to fuse all of those things into visually pleasing pieces of artwork.
DL: Do you remember the first time you felt that design was the career path you wanted to take?
JD: I have always enjoyed drawing as a child. I used to imitate drawings from comics and the collectable 'Dragon Ball Z' cards all through primary school and never actually knew I could make a career out of it. Although I always knew I wanted to work with art, I just never knew how. Enough drawing kind of made a career of itself. The more I drew, the better I got, the better I got, the more people started approaching me for artwork for their clothing line and album covers. Consider it a growing entity that can't stop feeding.A: How would you describe your design style to our readers - and how would you describe your creative process?
JD: I often find myself playing with mixtures of cornflour and water for hours, (you know, how it goes really fluid-like as well as a solid). I observe and concentrate on various parts the mixture as it flows down different shaped objects I find lying around. I do this for visual pleasure, as well as a creative study. I find it fascinating, as I try to share that fascination into my art work. It's just a matter of making it flow and work well. I like to focus on folds of the flesh and disfigurements of the visual appearance while incorporating things that are usually considered 'positive' and bright colors. I usually get mixed reactions from people when they see my art, they don't know whether to recoil in fright or give it a hug. Probably the only time a vomiting horned monster could ever be considered 'beautiful'. A screaming monster riding the back of an ice cream is so ironic that it's comical.DL: Has there been one person who has had a real influence on you, and your art work?
JD: There have been many people that have influenced my artwork, as well have experiences. I didn't want to be one of those alcohol driven people that don't end up doing anything with their life. I want to succeed and be able to say I haven't wasted my limited time on this earth. So I went with the one thing I knew I could do, and that was drawing. I look up to and admire the people I consider most creative. Trent Reznor for his music, Zack Snyder for his movies, James Jean and Alex Pardee for their art. I can always know that whatever happens, I will always have the things that these people do most creatively to keep me going. Seeing creativity fuels my creativity, and I have an unlimited source of it.
DL: What has been your favourite piece of art you have worked on so far, what makes it your favorite?
JD: That would have to be my 'Quadricorn' piece. (Shown at the top) What could be more awesome than a four horned horse with pincer hooves engulfed in gravity defying fluid?!
DL: If there was one person from the creative world you could sit down with and have a chat with who would it be?
JD: Firstly it would have to be Alex Pardee. Secondly, it would be more of a food fight, dressed as original gangsters, with marshmallow shoes and Chewbacca masks. During the violent toss of the pizza we would be telling a horror story that would make Rob Zombie's head explode.
DL: Have you ever been asked to do a piece of work that you turned down? If you did - how did you approach this to the prospective client?
JD: A few weeks ago I got asked to commission a shirt design that infuriated me. They asked for me to design them a shirt with a specific character from a specific artist. I responded suggesting that they ask the ACTUAL artist to design the shirt instead. Artists should be approached because they like their style and their art, not to imitate another artists style or characters.
DL: With the current climate in the world, how has this affected the art and illustration industry in New Zealand?
JD: The art industry in New Zealand is very small in comparison to other art industries, everyone seems to 'know of' everyone. Using the internet as a tool to get your art seen is very achievable, but that can only go so far when you live in such an isolated country as New Zealand. The 'word of mouth' usually doesn't even leave the shores of New Zealand, so being spotted for exhibitions in other countries best contemporary galleries and magazines is limited to 'accidentally' being stumbled across over the internet or books, and not to mention even more pressure to make a decent impression. Haha, I hope this answer is relative to what you were asking. (It was aha! .DL)
DL: What advice would you give to other art and design students about how to develop their own creative style?
JD: I'd suggest you first find your artistic medium and start from there. Each day just draw and draw and draw, you don't even have to show anybody. Surround yourself with your favorite inspirations and artists you admire most. A style will eventually develop and your instinct will take it from there.
DL: Finally, do you think that creative talent is being lost due to the lack of 'obvious' opportunities on offer to designers?
JD: Yes indeed, and have discovered that it is very difficult to get your name into the art world, it will often require you to do work for free. You have to physically shove it into people's faces and to do so making an impression that will be remembered. I've known of people with a huge amount of talent to just give up and do something that's "easier". So yes I do believe that talent is being lost and unseen. It's just a matter of not giving up before the opportunities are available for you.
I hope this was a great insight into the mind of a brilliant up and coming illustrator - and as an owner of a couple of fantastic pieces of work by Jordan I can honestly say that until you see his painted work or illustrations in the flesh you cannot honestly believe how fantastically detailed they are! (as i'm writing this i'm drawn to the huge Mars Attacks print framed and adorning my wall right now!)Hopefully we will have lots more up and coming designers being interviewed here to give you all a bit of a break from just my voice!!
…and i'm still banging through the questions so if I haven't answered yet I will!!Hope you enjoyed the show!

Printing Dinosaurs: the Mad Science of New Paleontology
"In February, Dr. Lacovara had announced that the Paleontology department at Drexel would team up with the Engineering department for what would largely be a novel new project: scanning all of the fossils in the University's collection (including some previously unidentified dinosaurs of Lacovara's own finds in other parts of the world) using a 3D scanner. The Engineering department would then take those scans and use a 3D printer to create 1/10 scale models of the most important bones. But, he reported, that wouldn't be the end of it: they intended, he said, to use those scale polymer "printouts" to model and then engineer fully working limbs, complete with musculature — to create, in effect, a fully accurate robotic dinosaur leg or arm, and eventually, a complete dinosaur.

Julia Litzky '12 doesn't sleep much, and that annoys her. "I used to be able to run off three hours a night freshman year," she said, "but now I have to get five or six." In between finalizing her acceptance to Dartmouth's M.D./Ph.D. program, volunteering at the Writing Center and crafting her own metal jewelry, it's surprising she had time to sleep at all as her time at Hamilton wound down.
More ...Assistant Professor of Psychology Jeremy I. Skipper gave an invited talk in a workshop sponsored by the Experimental Psychology Society (EPS) Jan. 7-8 at University College London. In "Hearing lips and… hands, smiles and print too: How listening to words in the wild is not all that auditory to the brain" he discussed the role of visual contextual cues in the processing of auditory information.
More ...Stone Professor of Psychology Douglas Weldon presented a poster titled "Visual Cortical Evoked Potentials During and After MK-801 Administration in Rats" at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience on Nov. 16 in Washington, D.C.
More ...Assistant Professor of Psychology Jeremy Skipper has been awarded a National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to be used for upgrading lab equipment. The equipment is needed for a project to develop a procedure capable of analyzing brain data resulting from naturalistic stimuli for application to 4-D EEG data.
More ...Dean of Faculty Patrick D. Reynolds announced the appointment of two of Hamilton's most outstanding teacher-scholars to endowed chairs. Professor of Biology David Gapp was appointed to the Silas D. Childs Chair, and Professor of Psychology Jonathan Vaughan was appointed to the James L. Ferguson Chair. Both appointments were effective July 1.
More ...Serotonin is a neurotransmitter linked to aggression, depression, and neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia. This summer, Anisha Bhanot '13, Marla Marquez '14 and Bridget Fitzpatrick '13 conducted research on two serotonin receptor subtypes in male rats with regard to how different drugs affect each type of receptor. They worked under Douglas Weldon, the Stone Professor of Psychology and director of the Neuroscience Program.
More ...Douglas Weldon, the Stone Professor of Psychology, presented a poster at the International Brain Research Organization's (IBRO) Eighth World Congress of Neuroscience on July 15, in Florence, Italy. "Effects of Anpirtoline Administration on Acoustic Startle Responses and Sensorimotor Gating in Rats" presented three experiments based on initial work by the poster's co-author Caroline Briggs '10 for her senior thesis in neuroscience.
More ...The formation of a synapse, the junction between nerve cells, is one of the most the most important and critical stages of nervous system development, and in many cases improper synapse formation is the underlying cause of neurological disease. The Lehman Lab has discovered a new gene that appears to encode an enzyme that is expressed as synapses develop in invertebrate and vertebrate nervous systems. This summer four students are working to synthesize four different enzymes to explore the function of this novel gene product.
More ...Language is undoubtedly a fundamental aspect of many human interactions. For this reason, the study of language serves a vital purpose in neuroscience, medicine, and even everyday life. Sarah Kane '12 and Amanda O'Brien '13 are spending their summer researching language and the brain under Assistant Professor of Psychology Jeremy Skipper. The group is working to disprove the classical model of language processing and to discover more about how language is processed in the human brain.
More ...The human brain reacts differently to emotional cues depending on which hemisphere is processing them. By exploring hemisphere reactions to varying stimuli, these two student researchers hope to unmask some of the brain's mysteries.

potterfreak11 on 2/27/2010 9:51:54 PM
This is my first SUPER LONG comment/blog on anywhere. Plus I can spill my life. I just spilled all of my life on my bed.LOL. So. Lots o people say they lost their Hogwarts letter in the mail but I, I typed one up and hung it on my wall! I refuse to be a muggle! Ok so to explain what is happenin that I need help with I must ask you to scroll down. OK. Now those of you who really care are reading. So my BFF since last summer let's call her R, thinks my new friend let's call her V, is trying to "steal" me away from R. V's not! Help me convince R I'm R's BFF?!?!?!?! I listened to a grammar podcast and it said girls/women are most likley to make words longer (eg:I'm soooo tired) and use text message abreviations (eg: LOL). That's cause we girls have a way of talking.
fashonista101 on 2/23/2010 3:33:53 PM
Saw you ♥ writing as well me too! (obviously LOL). I want to be the next J.K. Rowling! That would be the BEST career! Tho I'm more into the adventure sort of writing than fantasy, think Gordon Korman or Margret Peterson Haddix. Actually I usually HATE wizard/dragon type stuff but Harry Potter is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO believable it's incredible!
kclove on 2/22/2010 6:48:08 PM
LOL I'm writing my own HP book, the 8th, where Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all go back to Hogwarts (they are retaking last year because of the Death Eaters taking over the school not much learning took place). It's mostly about the grief they all feel about everyone dying. I'm also doing a movie with it-I'm Hermione and the neighbor girl is Ginny and the neighbor boy is Ron and my brother's Harry. They're all pretty good, actually!
kclove on 2/22/2010 6:44:44 PM

rupertgrint014 on 2/9/2010 3:46:46 PM
my song 2! (Verse 1) You stood there, And I just couldn't help myself. I thought I saw your face, And then I turned away. (Chorus) Saw you standing there, Wanted you to say everything I wanted to hear. But you, You didn't come, I wanted to run away, Cause I ain't got the guts to take the pain. (Verse 2) You're lucky I had been where I had been, And that I got that tiny spark of faith, Like I could take on anything. (Chorus) Saw you standing there, Wanted you to say everything I wanted to hear. But you, You didn't come, I wanted to run away, Cause I ain't got the guts to take the pain. (Ending) But that's changed now, I see you and I smile, knowing you know what I'm thinking, that you and I belong together. (Think Love Story meets Selena Gomez!)
fashonista101 on 2/9/2010 3:13:35 PM
my song 1! (Verse 1) I started small and I'm dreamin' big There's a place a place I wanna be. It's a hard time getting round in this world, An figuring what you ought to be. (Chorus) How do you go so far? How do you make it alone? How do you go out there? Face it on your own? How do you keep a dream? (Verse 2) Is there a place? Is there a place in your heart, That once you start, Is pushin' you to go on? (Chorus) How do you go so far? How do you make it alone? How do you go out there? Face it on your own? How do you keep a dream? (sung sort of slowly. Think Taylor Swift meets Selena Gomez)
fashonista101 on 2/9/2010 3:12:12 PM
oh and anything by rascal flatts especially what hurts the most. what hurts the most seems to fit everyone's voice from what i've seen...or heard hee hee
rupertgrint014 on 2/8/2010 5:52:48 PM
hey i saw your comment about your voice and that's the same with me! i can't sing any miley cyrus cuz it's either too low or high but sheryl crow has a song call soak up the sun and it's a really good song (appropriate and cool) it has...i guess vintage feel to it. and there's also all american girl, jesus take the wheel, and temparay home by carrie underwood (jesus take the wheel and temparary home are like christian songs so idk if you are christian if you're not then it's ur choice to sing them or not u know...) and that don't impress me much by shania twain is a great song. i think most country songs are appropriate compared to the majority of most pop songs. but if you don't like country songs then taylor swift songs in their pop version are appropriate and selena gomez songs are really good. i hope i helped. i help with most advice (anything but boy advice. i'm in some right now and probably suck at it )
rupertgrint014 on 2/8/2010 5:33:20 PM

Australia's Great Barrier Reef extinct within 30 years
Starfish-eating coral and coral bleaching are among the reasons as to why
A treasure trove of rare marine life and activity, Australia's Great Barrier Reef has gradually shrunk to half of its former size over the past 27 years. The world's largest coral reef ecosystem has been in steep decline due to various ecological factors, both natural and man-made.
A treasure trove of rare marine life and activity, Australia's Great Barrier Reef has gradually shrunk to half of its former size over the past 27 years.
"I hear of the changes anecdotally, but this is the first long-term look at the overall status of the reef. There are still a lot of fish, and you can see giant clams, but not the same color and diversity as in the past," she says.
Fabricius and her colleagues surveyed 214 different reefs around the Great Barrier Reef and compiled information from 2,258 surveys to determine the rate of decline between 1985 and 2012. With the overall 50 percent decline, the scientists estimate that the reef is losing about 3.4 percent of itself annually.
The relatively pristine northern region, however, has shown no decline over the past two decades.
The reef's decline is attributed to several factors. The biggest factors are smashing from tropical cyclones, crown-of-thorns starfish that eat coral and are boosted by nutrient runoff from agriculture and coral bleaching from high-temperatures, which are rising due to climate change.
Coral bleaching is the process in which ocean temperatures rise and cause the corals to expel their zooxanthellae - the tiny photosynthetic algae that live in the coral's tissues.
"This is a really grim wake-up call," John Bruno says a biologist at UNC Chapel Hill. "The GBR [Great Barrier Reef], which only 10 years ago was considered the world's most pristine and resilient coral reef is clearly not better off and no less threatened than any other reef. I am bullish on the long-term survival of reefs, but science like this is challenging that outlook."
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions are essential in order to maintain the reef. "International efforts to cap and reduce CO2 emissions are equally critical and must occur at the same time as cleaning up local impacts," Les Kaufman, a biologist at Boston University says.
Fabricius says not much can be done in the short term about the climate-change-driven frequency of cyclones - five category 5 storms in the past seven years have pounded the reefs - or high temperatures. There are efforts underway to stem the damage from starfish, which can grow up to 3 feet in diameter and sport long venomous spines and 21 arms. Young starfish feed on coral-making algae, leaving behind the coral's skeleton.
One project encourages farmers to adopt practices that limit the amount of nutrient-rich runoff draining into reef areas. Another would allow tour operators to manually remove starfish from tourist areas, which Fabricius admits isn't a solution, just a temporary fix.
Inaction is not an option at this point. "The problem is entirely soluble, and coral reefs can be saved through concerted effort over this and the following two or three generations," said Kaufman. "There is absolutely no excuse for failure to do this, and if we do fail our generation will forever be remembered for unimaginable, unforgivable stupidity and sloth."

Election years, for those that can take a slightly different view, can really be interesting. We can look and see odd occurrences just about everywhere.
Take, for example, HMB. Just the other day I received an eight-page, multi-colored (on great paper stock, by the way) glossy "2012 Summer Newsletter" from the City of Half Moon Bay.
Now I've only lived here for well over 30 years, so I most certainly don't know it all, but I can't remember the last time I received anything from the City of this nature. Taking it one step further, and by coincidence I'm sure, this is a City election year and there are two seats open that the two incumbents want to recapture.
The "newsletter," which happened to come out during the campaign for those two seats, sort of reminds me of the 2005 City election when we saw the no-growthers come out with their "Voice of the Coast" "newspapers," which by the way, got them in hot water with regulators.
We see our lovely City Manager on the front cover, with a message from her to us, and signed "Warm Regards" by her. Very nice.
Once inside, we get all sorts of stuff (important and helpful stuff) like:
* contact the City data
* City Staff Profile
* Council members named along with Council meeting days
* talk about the upcoming sales tax measure on the ballot (1/2 cent rise for 3 years)
* HMB featured in "National TV Show"
* the "Field of Dreams" event last April - the City acquired Smith Field(s)
* a handy guide from the City letting us know that they accept credit cards at the front counter for things like business licenses, alarm permits special event permits, Poplar parking permits, planning fees and so much more. From that same slice, we also learn that weekend enforcement of the two hour downtown parking is in effect.
We also learn that the City has mandatory solid waste collection and last, but not least, we are notified that parking on the street is for everyone; so to those that try to block off that space in front of your house...shame, and expect a ticket ("citation.")
And we're only 1/2 way through the eight pager.
* page 5 starts out with "HMB Named One of the Top 15 'Happiest Seaside Towns'" in the United States.
* Then answers to, "Do I Need To Pull A Permit," followed with the "Recreation Zone"
* page 6 brings us the "Sheriff's Spotlight" and "Public Works Notes"
* page 7 provides us with "2012-2013 Budget News," a plea to help fight graffiti and a little blip on the "New Logo for HMB"
* polishing this "newsletter" off, page 8 provides us with "Upcoming Dates in Half Moon Bay" that we might be interested in
Now don't get me wrong; this is a good thing and something that has been talked about as far back as the 2005 election campaign cycle. If we can afford it, we should be getting something from the City to keep us informed. I appreciate that.
What I don't appreciate, however, is our tax money being used in a shameless, transparent attempt to campaign for the benefit of the incumbents — as if we wouldn't notice. Nobody likes to be played.
But again, I'm sure it is merely a coincidence; just like Voice of the Coast was in 2005.

Rumor Mill: Could Dennis Dixon be reuniting with Chip Kelly in Philly?
Dennis Dixon starred for offensive mastermind Chip Kelly's Oregon Ducks from 2004 until he was drafted in the fifth round by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008.
Five years later, the two may be reunited in Philadelphia.
According to Chris Wesseling of NFL.com, Dixon could be be joining his former coach in his new digs as the head coach of the Eagles as early as next week.
Dixon spent most of that 2008 season deactivated as the third-stringer behind starter Ben Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich. He made his first career start in 2009 after both were injured, throwing a touchdown and an interception in a 20-17 overtime loss to the Ravens.
Unfortunately, Dixon tore his maniscus towards the end of the 2010 season, forcing him to miss the rest of the year and all of 2011.
He was signed to the Baltimore Ravens practice squad this season. For the last 10 days, he has been doing his best Colin Kaepernick impression as Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and the rest of the Ravens defense readies itself to take on San Francisco's rock star second-year man.
The reason Kaepernick is starting for the Niners is because starter Alex Smith went down with a concussion in Week 9. There are also rumors swirling that Kelly would like the organization to trade for Smith following the Super Bowl.
Because Dixon is preparing for the Super Bowl along with the rest of Baltimore, he and Kelly must wait until after the big game. However, the free agent will be expected to head to Philly soon after the Super Bowl, regardless of the outcome.
As a senior at Oregon, Dixon completed 67.7 percent of his passes for 2,136 yards, 20 touchdowns and only four interceptions. He also ran for 583 yards and nine more scores.

I love this set. It is definitely worth the money that I paid for it. The only thing to note is that this is solid wood and very heavy. The delivery guys called when it arrived in my state and delivered it when they said they would. They unpacked and set it up exactly where I wanted it and how I wanted it arranged in my room. A few days later I decided to shift the bed more to the left and no dice. This is a very heavy set, so I had my husband and his brother move it instead. The drawers are all lined with felt and the entire construction is wood, no pressboard. One thing to note is that the platform is lower than most platforms so if you have a boxspring and a pillow top mattress, your bed may be too high. If you remove the boxspring, it may be too low so measure the height of your mattress before buying it. Did I mention how much I love this set. It looks classy and very elegant.
We could not be more pleased with this purchase, other than I wish I'd done it sooner. It is beautiful, fine craftsmanship, and the delivery and set-up was first rate.
I know what you are thinking. I thought it too. This review must be a fake. Believe me, I bought this bedroom suit on Black Friday this year and saved some money off the asking price. I never made such a large sight-unseen purchase before. I became even more nervous when they didn't call right away to schedule a delivery. I read the other comments, and others had something similar to say about this. Bottom line, don't worry...it is totally worth the wait!! This set is more beautiful than any set I looked at in person. I went to all of the big stores and fine stores. This set looks RICH and feels like QUALITY. Plus, it is made out of OAK. Try finding that anywhere. If you are doubting this purchase, don't. It is beautiful. I am going to buy the tall dresser set right now!!
This bedroom set is absoutely gorgeous. I was totally blown away by the great quality of the wood and how well made it is. The drawers are lined with felt and slide in and out with ease. The delivery men were OUTSTANDING wearing protective wear over their shoes and placing the furniture exactly as i wanted it in a very timely manner. Overall i am totally pleased with this purchase and highly recommend it. I painted my bedroom benjamin moore buxton blue and i have a very light taupe carpet which complements the dark wood.
I looked at furniture stores and nothing can beat both the price and quality of this set. It is not only beautiful in appearance but also well made. I really debated about such a large $$ purchase, site unseen, but it was the best value for my money. I cannot express enough how much I love this set. One thing to note - the framework for the bed is slats and we had a previous issue with other furniture where the slats would break, so to avoid any damage this time around we went to a local hardware store and had them cut plywood to fit so we could lay it down on top of the slats. We then put the mattress down. The weight is more evenly distributed this way and the cost was only around $20. Also, if you are only using a mattress it does sit low on the frame, so if you prefer a higher bed I would suggest getting a boxspring and not worrying about the plywood. Up to you, I don't mind the lower sitting bed, although I will note, I do sink low enough to feel the wooden sides when i get out of bed in the morning, using a 12inch foam mattress.
We love this beautiful set. This furniture is well-made, heavy and beautiful. We also ordered the chest to go with this and could not be more pleased with the quality of the whole set. The white-glove delivery was very easy and we had no problems with it at all. The platform of the bed is lower than we expected - if we just use a mattress (13") with no box-spring, it's too low. But we added a box-spring and it looks great.
I was super skeptical about getting furniture online but I'm glad I did it! These pieces look great! I was impressed with how sturdy the wood is too- way better than anything furniture stores near me had in the same price range. Will have to see how they hold up but I'm very pleased with the set so far. Also the delivery guys were friendly and took care of all the setup. Highly recommend!
Very good furniture ... the bed sideboard does not align perfectly, but a gentle hammer down will do the job to fix minor misalignment ... not a big deal. Look beautiful and stylish. White Grove delivery was top-notch ... considering how heavy the furniture set is. Highly recommended ... we were looking at another high quality set from another vendor, but opted for this one due to style.
love this furniture. very classy and timeless. better than the pictures

Yeah. It's called The Science of Magic, and it's an Urban Fantasy. My main goal was mixing magic and technology and seeing what would happen. The plot centers around a spellcaster named Erik Weiss, who is nearly killed one day, and sets out to track down his attacker. This somehow leads to him being involved in a power struggle in the magical government.
It can be viewed here: http://www.booksie.com/fantasy/novel/seann_barbour/the-science-of-magic/chapter/1
New chapter every week, though I have yet to decide on a regular day. Currently, there are 11 chapters.
Constructive Criticism would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Not that bad. It looks like that it is going to turn out to have a "Rick Riordan" feel to it-in the "OK. Wrong spell." part. One thing I will say is that that was a small first chapter-possibly because it was a prolouge. It is a modern fantasy...yes. I would like to see more of it, hopefully you will release them soon?

In the small border town of Jendemah, Sierra Leone, Richelieu Allison is known as "the peace hut guy."
It's a title he's earned: Months of weather delays, poor road conditions, building material shortages, and even a snake bite haven't kept Allison from constructing a peace hut for this community of 10,000.
Now the focal point of a special park, the palaver hut was built with help from the Rotary Club of Freetown, Sierra Leone, and The Rotary Foundation. Allison, a 2006 Rotary World Peace Fellow, hopes it is only the first of several huts linked by a caravan that he envisions as a "cross-border, people-to-people movement for peace."
In West African culture, a palaver hut is where town chiefs and elders settle conflicts. "The construction of these huts will provide a permanent forum not only for the local people to settle disputes but also to discuss issues relating to development," Allison says.
Jendemah connects Sierra Leone and Liberia by way of the Mano River Union Bridge. Constructed along a major trade route in 1973, the bridge was meant to be a symbol of regional prosperity.
But people on both sides have endured decades of mutual fear and distrust. The civil war that broke out in Liberia in 1989 degenerated into a conflict that spread to Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. The war officially ended in 2003, but the bridge didn't reopen until 2007.
"There is still a need to ensure that the people continue to reconcile their differences," Allison says.
A native of Liberia, Allison knows the horrors of war. "I saw summary executions. I witnessed the recruitment of some of my friends who, as young as eight, were sent to the battlefront," he recalls.
Determined to restore peace to his country, in 2001 Allison helped found the West African Youth Network, which trains young West Africans in peace-building and other humanitarian endeavors.
In 2006, he became a member of the inaugural class of the Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies certificate program at Chulalongkorn University, in Bangkok, Thailand. Soon after, he began envisioning a peace caravan.
Once he secures funding and materials, Allison plans to construct seven more palaver huts along historically troubled borders in the region. Each hut, which costs US$5,200 to build, will have The Four-Way Test inscribed on it, he says.
Allison, along with local Rotarians and members of the West African Youth Network, will then travel to each palaver hut to conduct conflict resolution workshops and hold peace vigils.
The hut in Jendemah has already had an impact. "The construction process helped people to focus and think about the importance of peace," Allison says. "It has brought together chiefs and elders, immigration and law enforcement officers, young people and traders, on both sides of the border."

Tea time, a wonderful ritual, keeps the family from getting peckish before dinner and gives us an opportunity to chat. We find banana bread a wonderful accompaniment to the tea (always served with at least three lumps of sugar and whitened with milk). This recipe can easily be adapted for muffins.
Using a mixer, cream the butter in a medium-size bowl, and add the white and brown sugar, blending until it reaches a smooth consistency. Add the bananas, then beat in the egg and yogurt.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. Gradually add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir until moistened. (If you want to include nuts or chocolate chips, mix thoroughly into the batter.)
Butter a nine-inch loaf pan and dust it with wheat germ, coating the bottom and sides (for muffins, use muffin paper in a six-capacity tin for large muffins). Scoop the batter into the pan and bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the bread is golden brown (the muffins will only take about 20 minutes). Let the banana bread thoroughly cool in the pan before removing and slicing.

The President of the NRA has been making the rounds on various television stations and other programs, and they keep talking about the Second Amendment, that is, the right to bear arms. And I propose we take away the semiautomatic guns and give every member of the NRA, and especially the leadership of the NRA, the weapons the founding fathers were talking about.
Those weapons would be muzzleloaders, one-shot rifles, or muskets. They could have drills marching about with muskets on their shoulders. They could even have target practice, give awards for the best shots, dress up like the Continental soldiers of Washington's army and call themselves "Defenders of the Constitution."
The truth of the matter is the leadership of the NRA is not actually concerned about defending the Constitution. What they are concerned about is how they can brow-beat members of Congress and the Senate with their lobbying efforts and their right-wing money chest to make them a power in any election.
You don't need a semiautomatic gun to protect your home from intruders or robbers. And you don't need a 30-round magazine for your semiautomatic gun unless you intend to kill people.
In Newtown, Conn., there are 20, 6- or 7-year-olds who will never grow up to be nurses, teachers, artists, or firemen. Their futures were robbed from them and those who loved them by a crazy man who stole the guns after he killed his mother who owned a semiautomatic rifle. Why did she need all these weapons?
In all of the mass killings in recent memory … if the men who were holding the guns had been holding knives, baseball bats, or big rocks, they could have been stopped before all the people died.
No matter what the NRA says, no matter how many tired, old, white men from the conservative, political spectrum, no matter what Wayne LaPierre says, it's a simple, mathematical situation. Arithmetic, if you will. Take away the guns that are not necessary for hunting, sport, and your personal safety, and you will take away the killings.

More delay possible on hydrofracking
If the Department of Environmental Conservation Department doesn't complete its work by that date, the rule making process, possibly including public hearings, would have to start all over again. And a delay in a heath study, which could take months, means that could happen. It could possibly include more public hearings, and add several more months if not years to a review process that's been going on since 2008.
New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Nirav Shah was assigned the task back in September of compiling a panel of health experts to review data on the health effects of fracking. Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens had decided the additional review was necessary before any decisions on whether to allow fracking in New York State could proceed.
Now, with just over two weeks to go until the deadline, a State Department of Health spokesman confirms that the outside experts required for the health review have not yet been hired, and the agreement involving the scope of their work, and any fees they will be paid, has not yet been worked out.
Spokesman Bill Schwartz says he can't "speculate" on whether the health review will be completed or will even begin in the next two weeks.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Environmental Conservation could not immediately say whether the November 29th deadline would be met.
Members of a growing group of local government leaders who are opposed to fracking say they have a lot of unanswered questions about the new health review. Martha Robertson Chairs the Tompkins County Legislature, which includes the City of Ithaca.
"We'd very much like to know what it is actually that Commissioner Martens has asked the Health Department to review," Robertson said. "That has not been made public."
Neither the environmental or health agencies have said where the health impact data comes from. It was not part of the original environmental review that's still being finalized.
The local officials met privately for nearly two hours with Martens. They say Martens listened to their concerns, but no decisions were made.
Before the meeting, Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan said he doesn't believe, no matter how many reviews are conducted, that the gas drilling should ever happen in New York.
"Quite frankly I don't think we'll ever be ready for this industry and we should go in a different direction," said Ryan, who said clean, alternative energies should be pursued instead.
But before any of that can happen, the health review, as well as the environmental impact review on fracking, will need to be completed, and that may not happen until well after the new year.

The singer, who triumphed over Gareth Gates in the final of the show's first series, insisted that it took him over two years to accept that he had a record deal.
On watching tapes of his Idol win, he told Instinct magazine: "I'm not mortified, I love them. Weirdly, for like the two years after the show I actually watched them a lot because I couldn't believe that I'd got a record deal.
"I couldn't believe it was actually going on. I had to look at it and remind myself that it had actually happened."
Young recently expressed delight over his single 'Leave Right Now' being chosen as this year's American Idol exit song.

Other than perhaps Windsor High School, the Northern Conference in football has all of a sudden become completely wide open.
And Loveland is right in the mix of it, even with last week's seemed-devastating-at-the-time loss to Niwot.
A hard week of practice and a good grasp of the game plan for the Indians made Thursday's contest against Greeley West a lopsided affair, with Loveland jumping out a 29-0 lead and eventually winning 29-6 over the Spartans at Patterson Stadium.
The Indians were consistent and, for the most part, mistake-free in improving to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in the conference, even though some of the biggest games lay ahead.
Behind the three-headed monster of Kris Garcia, Mike Zweigle
That preparation began at the beginning of the week, Zweigle said.
"I think coming off last week's loss, that really fired us up, gave us an extra gear of motivation," said Zweigle, who had 104 yards rushing and scored three times. "We came out totally
"We have room for improvement, definitely, but there were a lot fewer mistakes than past weeks. We feel confident about things."
Added Garcia, who had the other TD for the Indians: "We just wanted to focus on finishing games and playing all four quarters. Focus on that consistency, and we did a pretty good job of that."
Loveland was facing a struggling West team, one that came into the contest at 1-4. But the Spartans did get senior David Eddy back in their lineup, and he showed some flashes of brilliance in cutting and powering his way for 67 yards on 18 carries. But he had just five carries in the second half -- and the Greeley West offense only managed to run 24 plays after halftime.
That's because Loveland continued to run the ball effectively. Though he didn't get in the end zone, Weinmaster added 95 yards on 22 carries, and the run game provided the stability that the defense needed.
Greeley West only managed 153 yards of offense.
"It was a pretty solid game, and our guys played well," said coach John Poovey. "We've had a tendency where, when we were up, we've let our guard down some. We've still got to improve on that part."
Much like last week against Niwot, Loveland came out with a roaring start against the Spartans. On their first drive, LHS went 66 yards on 11 plays, going for it on a fourth-and-1 from the GW 25 and getting a 23-yard run from Zweigle that led to a 1-yard TD score from Garcia with 3:20 left in the first.
The teams exchanged fumbles on second-quarter drives, while Greeley West failed on a fake punt on another. Loveland took advantage of field position for its second score, using a 34-yard catch from John Freismuth to set up another short TD run, this time by Zweigle.
The Indians made it 22-0 after forcing a punt, driving 83 yards on nine plays and overcoming a bad pitch on a second-down play that lost 12 yards. On third-and-22 from the LHS 29, Zweigle's keeper went for 57 yards on the right side of the field, taking them to the GW 14. Zweigle got in the end zone again from a yard out, giving the Indians the big lead.
This time, there was not going to be a collapse.
Zweigle added a 10-yard score to finish an 8-minute drive in the third.
"We wanted to come back out and smash them in the mouth again," Garcia said.
"We need to be able to have the confidence to get the things we need to get when we need them," said Poovey. "The big thing tonight is we finished all of our drives. We've left some touchdowns out on the field, left runners on base so to speak ... it's probably the first time we've started out a game and finished our drives consistently."
The road gets tougher for the Indians, as they face Windsor next week, with Thompson Valley, Longmont and Mountain View to finish the schedule.

Rally at the Reactor with Cape Downwinders
Sunday, May 19 | 1:00pm
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, 600 Rocky Hill Road, Plymouth, MA
Concerned citizens from New England will gather at State Road and Edison Access Road in Plymouth to call for the closing of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. Speakers include Senator Dan Wolf, poet Marge Piercy and former Fukushima area resident Chikako Nishiyama. Music will be provided by Tom Neilson, bard insurgent.
Scheduled between Mother's Day and Memorial Day, the rally will be an opportunity for all mothers to take a stand to protect their children, families, and community and to remember the tragedy of Fukushima and honor those in Japan and around the world who continue to suffer the consequences of a nuclear catastrophe. We have a responsibility to future generations to act responsibly today.
** Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station has the same GE Mark l Boiling Water Reactor design as at Fukushima, which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission had determined to have a 90% chance of containment failure in a severe accident. The catastrophe happened as predicted.
** At an NRC open house in Plymouth on April 2, 2013, NRC Project Engineer Tom Setzer confirmed that an accident like Fukushima could happen in Plymouth.
** Pilgrim was relicensed last May over the objections of Governor Patrick, Attorney General Coakley, Congressman Keating, Congressman Markey, State Senator Murray, State Senator Wolf, and State
Representative Peake.

First-hand Story of Nuclear Disaster from Fukushima Native, Chikako Nishiyama
Sunday, May 19 | 6:30 pm
First Parish Unitarian Church, 222 Main Street, Kingston, MA
Chikako Nishiyama, from the village of Kawauchi in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, is making a trip to New England to offer her eye-witness report on the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Kawauchi is about 15 miles southwest of the stricken Fukushima nuclear reactors. The 2,300 people who lived there were evacuated. A year later they were told it was safe to return, but most still stayed away, fearing radioactive contamination. Now two years later, there are still many who have not returned.
Chikako has been an outspoken and very courageous critic of TEPCO's and the Japanese government's whole handling of this disaster (not to mention their actions, or non-actions that allowed the disaster to happen in the first place). She most certainly has first-hand accounts, of her own travail as wells as of others of her village. Her son is a firefighter in his early twenties, assigned to go back to patrol the village before the evacuation order was lifted. He is still stationed in Kawauchi, and Chikako is quite concerned for his health.
Today, the official edict is that the village is now safe enough for people to return, but Chikako believes that this is a policy that sacrifices her village people's lives. She will explain how a lot of money is at stake, and that her local government is choosing to maintain their interests over well-beings of people and the natural world. Her house still sits in Kawauchi, but she doesn't intend to live there ever again. She is currently working to find locales in the western part of Japan where those who want to relocate can start new lives in a more sustainable and healthy environment.
Translating Chikako's story will be Chiho Kaneko. Born in Japan's Iwate Prefecture (about 150 miles north of the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors) and graduating from Hokkaido University with a degree in agronomy, Chiho moved to the U.S. in 1993 and became an interpreter/translator, visual artist, musician, and columnist for a Japanese daily newspaper. Her most recent trip to Japan was last fall, her fourth visit since the March 11, 2011 nuclear meltdowns.
Nishiyama will speak and answer questions starting at 6:30 pm. The event is free and open to all. Here is an event flyer to download and share: ChikakoTalk-May19.pdf

Most consumers believe "free-range" hens and cows live happily and peacefully until they are slaughtered. But no laws or standards regulate the use of terms like "free-range" and "free-roaming." Unfortunately, even these vague claims are rarely verified; the USDA relies "upon producer testimonials to support the accuracy of these claims," which are usually unsubstantiated. In fact, common cruel industry practices used in factory farms, such as debeaking, forced molting, and literally throwing away male chicks at birth, also take place at many "free-range" farms. Of course all the animals are slaughtered whenever it is deemed most profitable. According to The Washington Post Magazine, the term "free-range," especially in the case of birds, "doesn't really tell you anything about the [animal's] quality of life, nor does it even assure that the animal actually goes outdoors." From the "free-range" hen who smells fresh air for the first time on the way to the slaughterhouse to the "humanely raised" dairy cow whose male baby is taken away from her at birth and sold to veal farmers, all animals raised for food suffer and are exploited. Even small, family-run dairy farms often have no choice but to send their older cows to slaughter and their newborn males to veal farms. For these reasons, we believe the only humane option is to refrain from eating eggs, milk, and meat. It's better for your health, the environment, and the animals, and it's far easier to do than you may think!
