Post subject: Suggestions with a long (and boring) prologue
Now talking seriously....
I am a white heterosexual male-bodied person, in the bracket of age between 18 and 50. I am the pure essence of the privileged (not economically, I am mid-low class, but yes, I am socially privileged)
But I dont feel like a patriarch, the ones who decides, I feel more like the ones who obeys, victims too.
There is obvious difference between a servant and a slave, dont worry. I cant compare our pain with your pain (so Xanthë, close your gas gallon XD) but I want to explain ours, not asking for empathy but understanding, an understanding than can empower all of us.
I am trying to say Is not the pain of a privileged one (lol, as if that exist) is the pain of a awaken one, trying to change his ways. I think myself as an awaken... Not fully, I am new with this, but awaken. My life is changing in a slow pace and I am seeing things. I have a strange life because I am atheist and I work as secretary in a catholical church (Yup, is hipocrytal, if you can give me a better job with the crisis beating down my country I take it gladly). In this job, working for the blueprints of Patriarchy I have seen strange things. First, with the dichotomy of the woman role in life (be pure and obedient as Mary or be a sinner-man-corrupting as Eve) I cant understand how can it be that the entire baptism request (I am talking about all, not a 99% but ALL) comes from women. Women that want to raise her daughters in a faith that transfigure them in solid-rock-statues of pureness or shameful sinners.
I live in a country of VERY chauvinist males (as most of the countries under the catholic influence, btw) and in the last days Ive learned to keep my mouth closed about some themes. Not with the priest or their flanders (again, I am a hypocrite) but with old friends, atheists as me we cant talk with them about transgenderism or gender fluid persons without receiving looks of man, are you crazy? Or *gasp* trying to say me anything? Because I AM HETEROSEXUAAAAAAL!!!! (I remembered then the first patriarchal film and laughed). Damn, I cant talk about this with my girlfriend and we are marring next Thursday.
Marrying by the civil way, working in a church. I REALLY have a strange life xD
I am trying to say, I have a long way to walk to be fully awaken, to treat the others with the respect that I falsely supposed they had, and I have very few supports. Is NOT an easy fight, but is easy to fight when you are the Oppressed Is hard to fight when the sin runs within your mind, when half the time you are fighting against yourself. Again, I dont want empathy, I want understanding, you are the true oppressed, I dont forget it.
Now that Ive bored you to submission, suggestions to Mr. Ishida:
1) May you introduce a character of a woman that is not awaken and dont want to be? Not a devil girl, but a woman that wait, we have them now, the devil girls daaaamn But... I think more about a Seymour-female-thingy... @.@
2) Could Slick start to be awake? Develop himself as a less dick-ish man? We have seem glimpses of him in this way, but they were too ephemeral. And what is the matter with the devil slick? I really dont understand that @.@ Help here?
3) We have mentioned talked about Xanthe (the comic character, no the forum persona), how he needs more development, see other faces from her I suggest a thing Ive seen May Mr. Ishida portrait the exhaustion of her fight against the Big-D? How she, sometimes, is tired out, her sadness and feelings about an endless war, when sometimes weeks passes and not much or less changes And then, her sisters, or old Nana comforts her or a good book or
I say, what does Xanthe when the world is too heavy for her trike? Can knowing this help her to be rounder?
Again, sorry for the grammar.

Thanks for writing this, I appreciate the amount of thought you put into it. Your grammar isn't that bad, you're totally understandable.* I can only imagine living with questions or problems and not having anyone who understood, especially if it meant everyone around you acted in a way that might seem unethical at times.
Plus, sometimes non-native speakers make me think about the way we speak, like when you refer to helping Xanthe "to be rounder." We would call someone's character flat but not round, and I don't know why.

I've heard people call a character 'well-rounded'.

True. I visualize those differently, but they're definitely the same idea. I stand corrected.

Arkhron: First I will say you are full of good ideas and intentions and your mind seems open to accepting change and realizing many of the harsher truths of the world.
I can not give an exact amount, but I would guess around 60-80% of the atheist I know were raised Catholic. The more I have learned about that church over the years, the more I have come to understand why that is so.
Many, many, many of us have woken up one day and realized "Holy shit! A lot of my family and friends are actually bigots, racists, or some other type of small minded person." I do not think this is ever really a pleasant experience for anyone. I have learned that this is a reason why many people separate themselves form their friends and family, especially after university.
There is one thing that bothers me about your post: the fact that you can't talk about this stuff with the woman you are going to marry. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but I think it may cause you more problems later on in your relationship.

Well, I am spanish and she is mexican, so I can say that she was more chauvinist than me even before sinfest did this turn.
I dont worry about that, she is smarter than me (one of the things that I love) so I will send a link to the archives, maybe reading since 2011 or so and let the magic happen
I am more concerned about her parents, closed minded as hell about the role of the woman in society and the binary genderism. But meh... I often repeat my self "chill out, dont have to listen them all your life... only
And the thing that really bothers me is how are we going to raise our kids... But for that (I hope) we have five or six years still, so I try to keep calm and dont panic XD

Good attitude to have. As someone who comes from a conservative family, I can really relate. My father was raised Catholic and my mother Luthern (specifically
Missouri Synod
, a VERY conservative sect) and for a good portion of my childhood I was actively encouraged to pursue a career as a member of the clergy. If I've learned one thing, it's honestly better to avoid confrontation then trying to persuade your family to understand why you've adopted different views then their own. I remember trying to explain to my mother I was agnostic and not going to baptize my children, ever, I think I could visibly see the effects of something in her brain short circuiting.
Honestly, I don't know if the comic is the best place to start. They may see the name 'Sinfest' and immediately have a VERY sever and negative reaction to that alone, especially since Slick sells his soul in the first strip.

Weird, we used it all the time in highschool English classes, along with stock and dynamic characters.

I agree with a lot of what you've posted, Arkhron. Thank you for taking the time to vocalize these thoughts!
It would be really wonderful to start seeing a deeper view of the feminism issue in the strip, maybe going into more depth about how it affects both genders. That would help avoid some of the knee-jerk polarization that the "feminist" word brings up.

So you are telling me that I need to actually look and post at the comic subforum from time to time?

i seem to be in a weird mood today. my first thought on reading your initial post, Arkhron, is that you should use your position as church secretary to undermine the patriarchal power system (start by paying the nuns more). but then i realized that's a bit unfair.
i seemed to be a privileged woman from a feminist perspective (e.g., my mother had a career predating her marriage and it never seemed to bother my father in the least; he always made it clear that his aspirations for me were based on my intelligence; i never got pressure from either parent to get married and have kids) - so i don't really know how to advise you. i imagine that sinfest is one thing to give you a place to start a discussion. 18-50 is a pretty wide age range - does she have a job? is she career-minded? some women don't appreciate feminism until the need for it impacts them personally, but i don't know how much life experience she has.
but good for you, for being on the side of the angels! (metaphorically). and congratulations on your impending marriage!
what do you mean, they don't pay the nuns?

Thanks so much for writing this and sharing your story with us!
I really do appreciate how thoughtful it was, and how you're trying to become more aware of things. A good place to look might be Jim C. Hines's blog, where he writes about sexism from time to time.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
Edit: I agree completely and would love to see more depth to Xanthe and Slick. I liked him better when he wore a fuzzy sweater and tried to make romantic gestures.

Why do people make art? Where do you find art? What can art tell us about our world? Why does some art cost millions of dollars? Art history majors grapple with these questions by studying art across history and across cultures. Art history explores the world through images and objects, emphasizing visual learning. Art historians are trained in clear expository writing and critical thinking. They are good researchers and usually have a creative flair. With these qualities and skills, graduates pursue a variety of careers, including teaching, museum work, archeology, gallery direction, interior designer, art conservation, and supervision of visual resource collections. They are also welcome in most business settings and are prepared to enter graduate school in disciplines as diverse as environmental studies or law.
The Department of Art History teaches students to recognize, speak, and write, analytically and creatively, about art from cultures around the world. It is committed to forging links of knowledge and understanding within a diverse student body, with the greater Hartford community, and with parts of the international art world. The department fosters students' understanding of how art is produced and interpreted, how different cultures develop modes of understanding, and how knowledge of art history can be used in the real world settings of exhibitions, collections, and education.
The Department of Art History offers students a wide variety of courses that cover art from around the globe—Western, African, Mesoamerican, and Asian—and creative traditions in painting, sculpture, graphic arts, decorative arts, ritual objects, architecture, photography, design, performance, experimental media, and eco-art. Special courses are given in museum and exhibition practices, in writing and research, and in the effects of cultural contact, migrations, and globalization on artistic traditions. The faculty's professional projects bring students in contact with international artists and scholars and allow them access to local and regional art collections. Students are urged to study abroad and often take advantage of programs in Europe, Africa, Australia, and elsewhere around the globe. Images of world art are brought into class through the most recent technology. Classes are small and students receive individual attention.
Hartford has a vibrant arts community. It is the home of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, the oldest public art museum in the nation with a world-renowned collection. Close by is the rapidly expanding New Britain Museum of American Art. Both offer internships to art history students, as do the Connecticut Historical Society, the Hill-Stead Museum, Real Art Ways, and several college and university galleries and private collections. The University itself houses a regionally acclaimed art gallery, as well as the Hartford Art School, where students can take studio courses to supplement their historical studies.

Historical Note
Section 128.3 Source of names.
The sources of prospective jurors shall be: (a) the names contained on voter registration lists, lists of licensed motor vehicle operators and lists of persons to whom State income tax forms have been mailed; (b) the names of persons who have volunteered to serve in accordance with section 506 of the Judiciary Law; and (c) the names from such other sources as authorized by the Chief Administrator of the Courts.
Historical Note
For purposes of article 16 of the Judiciary Law and this Part, a resident of a county or municipality shall mean a person who maintains a fixed permanent and principal home within that county or municipality to which such person, wherever temporarily located, always intends to return. Among the factors that may be considered in determining the principal home is the relative proportion of time in the year that the person customarily resides in the county or municipality.
Historical Note
Section 128.5 Qualification of trial jurors and grand jurors.
(a) Prospective jurors shall be selected at random pursuant to a methodology approved by the Chief Administrator of the Courts.
(b) A juror qualification questionnaire shall be sent to prospective jurors by first class mail unless the commissioner of jurors determines that a personal interview is required, in which case the questionnaire shall be completed at the interview. Where a completed questionnaire is returned by mail, the commissioner may require a subsequent personal interview. The qualification questionnaire may be sent with the juror summons during the summoning process as set forth in section 128.6 of this Part.
(c) The commissioner of jurors may require prospective grand jurors to appear before the commissioner of jurors to be fingerprinted and interviewed as to their availability to serve as grand jurors.
(d) After the qualification questionnaire has been reviewed and the prospective juror is found otherwise qualified, the juror's name, and fingerprint record in the case of a prospective grand juror, may be forwarded by the commissioner of jurors to an appropriate agency for checking for conviction of a criminal offense.
(e) Upon the basis of the completed questionnaire, the personal interview, if any, and the check for a criminal conviction, where such check was requested, or after at least 30 days without receipt of any report concerning the check for a criminal conviction, the commissioner of jurors shall note upon each questionnaire whether the person has been found qualified or not qualified for jury service. If excluded from jury service, the reasons shall be noted on the questionnaire.
(f) The commissioner of jurors shall maintain a record of persons who are found not qualified for jury service, including the reasons therefor.
Historical Note
Section 128.6 Summoning of trial jurors and grand jurors.
(a) Trial jurors and grand jurors shall be selected for summoning at random from prospective jurors previously qualified for service. In the alternative, the Chief Administrator of the Courts may direct that in any county trial jurors and grand jurors be selected for summoning at random from the juror source lists and that their qualifications for service be determined during the summoning process in accordance with the procedures set forth in section 128.5 of this Part.
(b) The commissioner of jurors shall determine the number of jurors to be selected for summoning and shall summon such jurors, unless such number otherwise is specified by the Chief Administrator of the Courts. At any time during a term of court in a county, the court may direct an additional specified number of jurors to be drawn, set the time of the drawing, and require the commissioner to summon the additional jurors, giving such notice as the court shall direct. The drawing shall be conducted in the same manner as a regular drawing.
(c) Whenever practicable, the summons shall be served by first class mail at least 14 days before the day the juror is required to appear, unless a shorter period is necessary to satisfy court requirements for sufficient jurors. The commissioner of jurors shall maintain for one year a record of the date and reason when the mailing of the summons occurred less than 14 days before the return date of the summons. If service by first class mail cannot be made or is impracticable, the summons may be served personally upon the juror by personal delivery to the juror at the juror's residence or place of business.
(d) Jurors who appear for the sole purpose of requesting an excuse, deferment or postponement from jury service shall not be entitled to any per diem fee or mileage allowance.
Historical Note
Section 128.6-a Postponement and excusal from jury service.
(a) Postponement.
(1) A prospective juror who has received the initial jury summons is entitled, upon notifying the commissioner of jurors, to a postponement of jury service to a specific jury term date that is not more than six months after the date such service is to commence as set forth in the summons. The prospective juror may notify the commissioner by telephone that he or she is seeking such postponement and shall select an appropriate date to which service is to be postponed. A request for postponement shall be made at such time as the commissioner shall require. The commissioner, in his or her discretion, may grant a postponement of jury service for greater than six months, but only upon good cause shown.
(2) The commissioner may grant a prospective juror's subsequent request for a postponement of jury service, but only upon a written application, containing documentation acceptable to the commissioner, showing that an inability to obtain a postponement would result in a hardship that was unanticipated at the time of the prior postponement. Absent extraordinary circumstances, the commissioner shall not grant a prospective juror more than three postponements of jury service, nor shall the aggregate period of postponements granted to a prospective juror exceed 18 months.
(b) Excusal.
(1) A prospective juror who has received a jury summons may apply to be excused from jury service by submitting a written application for excusal to the commissioner, at such time as the commissioner shall require. Such application for excusal may be granted only if the prospective juror has demonstrated satisfactorily the
(i) he or she has a mental or physical condition that renders him or her incapable of performing jury service, or that jury service would cause undue hardship or extreme inconvenience to the prospective juror, a person under his or her care or supervision, or the public, and
(ii) he or she will be unable to serve as a juror on a date certain within the time restrictions applicable to postponements set forth in subdivision (a) of this section. The application shall contain documentation, satisfactory to the commissioner, supporting the ground for excusal. The commissioner may, in his or her discretion, consider an application for excusal by a prospective juror before the juror has received a jury summons if the juror has returned the juror qualification questionnaire.
(2) If the application for excusal is granted and the facts underlying the ground for the excusal are not of a permanent nature, the excusal shall be for a specific period of time not to exceed 24 months or, in extraordinary cases, beyond 24 months, after which the prospective juror shall become eligible for re-qualification as a juror. If the facts underlying the ground for excusal are of a permanent nature, the excusal shall be permanent.
(c) Recordkeeping. The commissioner of jurors shall maintain a list of the names of persons excused or postponed from service as a trial juror, with an indication of the reasons therefor insofar as practicable, and which shall include the time periods for which the persons have been postponed or excused. A judge hearing an application for postponement or excusal shall provide notice of his or her determination expeditiously to the commissioner of jurors for inclusion in such records.
(d) Guidelines. The commissioner or jurors shall conform to such guidelines as may be promulgated by the Chief Administrator of the Courts in determining whether to grant postponements and excusals from jury service.
Amended (b) on Nov. 18, 2008 (old version)
Section 128.7 Support of town and village courts.
(a)1 The commissioner of jurors shall qualify and maintain source lists or qualified lists of jurors for each town and village court outside the City of New York. The commissioner shall summon jurors to serve in these courts, or if not practicable for the commissioner so to summon jurors, the commissioner shall furnish to each such court a list of qualified jurors who reside within the geographical jurisdiction of such court, or within such geographical area from which the court is authorized by law to summon jurors, to be summoned at random by the court for service in that court. Such lists may be furnished to town courts, which then shall furnish lists to village courts within each town. The notification and summoning of jurors by each such court shall be in the same manner as prescribed for the commissioner in section 516 of the Judiciary Law and this Part. Within 30 days of the completion of service by a juror in a town or village court, the court shall notify the commissioner of the identity of a juror who has so served.
Historical Note
Section 128.8 Duration of service.
(a) Trial jurors. Unless otherwise specified in the manner provided by subdivision (d) of section 525 of the Judiciary Law, a trial juror shall serve in the court for no more than five consecutive court days, except that service shall continue beyond any time limit fixed pursuant to this section until the conclusion of any trial for which a juror may be empanelled. For the purposes of this section, the duration of a juror's service shall be computed by counting the first day on which the juror is required to appear and each consecutive court day thereafter, excluding days in which the court is not in session, until the juror is released from service. The commissioner of jurors may release a trial juror from service at any time, except that a trial juror who has been sworn or selected to sit on a panel in a proceeding may be released before the proceeding is terminated only by a judge or justice unless trial of the proceeding has not been commenced within five court days from the date the juror was sworn, in which case, subject to the discretion of the appropriate administrative judge, the juror shall be released. Service as set forth in this section shall constitute service for purposes of section 128.9(b).
(b) Telephone standby system. The Chief Administrator may direct the establishment in any county of a telephone standby system for the summoning or service of trial jurors. Service of a trial juror as provided by subdivision (a) of this section shall include service pursuant to a telephone standby system, and the computation of the duration of a trial juror's service as provided by subdivision (a) shall include any day on which the juror is on telephone standby service.
(c) Grand jurors. A grand juror shall serve for the duration of the term for which the grand juror has been selected and for any period during which the grand jury panel on which the grand juror has been serving is extended, unless sooner discharged.
Historical Note
Section 128.9 Frequency of service.
(a) When a juror completes service, the juror's name may be restored to the general list of qualified jurors. In the alternative, the Chief Administrator may direct that in any county, when a juror completes service, the commissioner of jurors may summon the juror only if he or she again is selected at random for qualification from the juror source lists and subsequently qualified.
(b) A person who has served on a trial jury or grand jury in any court of record within the State, including service as set forth in section 128.8 of this Part or service in a Federal court, is disqualified from further jury service, pursuant to section 524 of the Judiciary Law, for six years following the completion of jury service, and shall not be summoned for such service within that period, except that where, as provided in subdivision (c) of section 524, the commissioner of jurors has determined that compliance with the six-year period would be impracticable, such period of disqualification may be reduced to not less than two years for persons whose service consisted of fewer than three days, and such person shall not be summoned for jury service within such reduced period. Where a person serves on a trial jury or grand jury for more than 10 days, that person is disqualified from further jury service for eight years. For purposes of this subdivision, jury service shall include service in the court and telephone standby service.
(c) The commissioner of jurors may extend the period of disqualification for all jurors in excess of the time periods set forth in subdivision (b) of this section where the extension would not interfere with the commissioner's ability to comply with section 508 of the Judiciary Law.
Historical Note
Amended (b) on August 12, 2005.
Historical Note
Section 128.11 Judge to greet jurors.
Wherever a central juror assembly room is provided for the courts in a county, the administrative judge, where practicable, shall designate a judge in each county in the district to greet newly summoned jurors and generally explain their responsibilities while serving as jurors. In courts not using a central juror assembly room, a judge or justice of the court in which the jurors are serving, where practicable, shall greet newly summoned jurors. A filmed or videotaped greeting from a judge may be used.
Historical Note
Section 128.12 Failure to respond to questionnaire or summons; procedure for noncompliance.
(a) Inquiry. In exercising the powers set forth in section 502(d) of the Judiciary Law, the commissioner of jurors shall make inquiry of persons who do not respond to the juror qualification questionnaire or jury service summons to determine the reason for nonresponse and shall make reference to the power of a court to cite for contempt, or the power of the commissioner of jurors to bring a proceeding for noncompliance, pursuant to section 527 of the Judiciary Law.
(b) Commencement of noncompliance proceeding. The commissioner of jurors may bring a noncompliance proceeding against a person who fails to respond to the juror qualification questionnaire or summons to appear for jury service by serving upon such person, either personally or by first-class mail, a notice of noncompliance in a form prescribed by the Chief Administrator of the Courts. The form shall provide that a response to the commissioner of jurors shall be made within 20 days after the date of service of the notice of noncompliance and that the respondent must either admit noncompliance or request a hearing. After 20 days have elapsed from the date of service, the commissioner of jurors shall file with the Supreme Court a copy of the notice of noncompliance with proof of service and any response thereto. The court, or a judicial hearing officer designated pursuant to Part 122, shall review the material submitted and, where the person has failed to respond, or has admitted noncompliance, or has been found not in compliance after a hearing held pursuant to this section, may impose a penalty in accordance with section 527 of the Judiciary Law and shall issue an order fixing a date certain for jury service.
(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (b) of this section, where a person has failed to respond and a default judgment is sought, an affidavit shall be submitted that additional notice has been given, at least 20 days before the entry of judgment, to the person who has failed to respond, by mailing a copy of the notice of noncompliance by first class mail to such person at his or her place of residence in an envelope bearing the legend "personal and confidential" and not indicating on the outside of the envelope that the communication is from a court, the commissioner of jurors or any other public officer or official. In the event such mailing is returned as undeliverable by the post office before entry of the default judgment, a copy of the notice of noncompliance then shall be mailed in the same manner to the person who has failed to respond at his or her place of employment, if known.
(2) The additional notice shall be mailed not less than 20 days after service of the notice of noncompliance pursuant to subdivision (b) of this section. An affidavit of mailing pursuant to this paragraph shall be executed by a person mailing the notice and shall be filed with the judgment.
(d) Hearing. Whenever a respondent served with a notice of noncompliance requests a hearing, the court or judicial hearing officer shall schedule such hearing and shall notify the respondent by mail at least 30 days in advance of the hearing date. The hearing shall be held before the court or the judicial hearing officer assigned to conduct the hearing, and the respondent may be represented by counsel. A finding of noncompliance shall be based upon a preponderance of the credible evidence presented. The charge of noncompliance may not be sustained if there is a finding of undue hardship or extreme inconvenience as set forth in section 517(c) of the Judiciary Law or for any other excuse based upon a good and sufficient cause. Rules of evidence shall not apply except those relating to privileged communications. Oral testimony shall be presented under oath. The court or judicial hearing officer may issue subpoenas to require the attendance at the hearing of persons to give testimony or to produce books, papers or other things relevant to the hearing. The court or judicial hearing officer shall cause a verbatim record of the hearing to be made by stenographic or mechanical means. If the charge is not sustained, the court or judicial hearing officer shall issue an order dismissing the charge, and shall fix a date certain for jury service by the respondent unless the respondent files an affidavit with the commissioner requesting postponement of or excusal from jury service in which case capacity for service then shall be determined by the commissioner pursuant to section 128.6-a of this Part.
(e) Penalty. All penalties imposed pursuant to this section shall be payable to the appropriate commissioner of jurors, who shall transmit such payments to the county clerk for transmittal to the State Commissioner of Taxation and Finance on a monthly basis no later than ten days after the last day of each month.

APPENDIX A. Guidelines for Postponements and Excusals
Judges and Commissioners of Jurors shall utilize the following guidelines in determining whether to grant postponements and excusals from jury service pursuant to section 517 of the Judiciary Law.
I. Definitions
1. "Postponement" - A "postponement" of jury service is an adjournment of the date of jury service to a subsequent fixed date. These guidelines shall apply only to postponements of between six and 18 months from the date set forth in the initial juror summons. Postponements of up to six months from the initial summons are not covered by these guidelines, because those postponements must be granted at the request of the person summoned; postponements of greater than 18 months are not permitted by court rules.
2. "Excusal" - An "excusal" from jury service is the cancelling of a juror summons for a period not to exceed 24 months, after which the person so summoned again shall become eligible for requalification as a juror. An excusal may be granted only where jury service cannot be postponed. A person may receive a permanent excusal, and be excluded from selection from any list of prospective jurors, where the judge or Commissioner of Jurors determines that the underlying ground for the excusal is of a permanent nature.
II. Standards
Judges and Commissioners of Jurors shall be guided by the following standards in determining whether a person shall receive a postponement of or excusal from jury service. Nothing in these guidelines shall be deemed to limit the documentation that a judge or Commissioner of Jurors may require based upon the facts underlying any individual application for postponement or excusal. A judge or Commissioner of Jurors, in appropriate cases, also may require that any statement submitted be sworn to under oath.
A. Mental or Physical Capacity
An application for postponement or excusal may be granted if the applicant has a mental or physical condition that causes him or her to be incapable of performing jury service. The judge or Commissioner of Jurors may require the following documentation in support of the application:
1. A statement signed by an appropriately licensed health care provider, setting forth (i) a diagnosis of the mental or physical condition of the applicant, (ii) a prognosis of the length of time the mental or physical condition is expected to continue to exist, and (iii) a conclusion that the applicant is not capable of performing jury service.
2. A statement from the applicant describing the physical or mental condition and setting forth why the applicant believes the condition prevents his or her service as a juror and when the applicant believes that he or she will become capable to serve as a juror. The applicant may be required to provide documentation concerning his or her employment status. If the applicant describes a condition associated with advanced age, he or she may be required to provide documentation of his or her age.
B. Undue hardship or extreme inconvenience
An application for postponement or excusal may be granted if service as a juror would cause undue hardship or extreme inconvenience to the applicant, a person under his or her care or supervision, or the public. A determination of undue hardship or extreme inconvenience shall be based upon service as a juror for a period of five consecutive court days.
1. Caregivers
An applicant may obtain a postponement or excusal if the applicant (i) has a personal obligation to care for another, including a sick, aged, infirm or disabled dependent or a minor child, who requires the prospective juror's personal care and attention during the time the person will be required to serve as a juror, and (ii) no alternative care is available without severe financial hardship to the applicant or the person requiring care, or because special needs of the person receiving care foreclose the temporary substitution of another caregiver. In determining whether the applicant's personal care and attention are required, the judge or Commissioner of Jurors may require the following documentation in support of the application:
a. A copy of a birth certificate of a minor child;
b. A statement signed by an appropriately licensed health care provider describing the medical condition of an aged, sick, infirm or disabled person;
c. A statement by the applicant that he or she is the primary caregiver and setting forth (i) the circumstances necessitating the caregiving services of the applicant, (ii) the hours that the applicant provides such care and (iii) the reasons why the applicant cannot make arrrangements for care to be provided by another during the period of jury service; and
d. Documentation veryifying any employment of the applicant, including hours worked and salary earned.
2. Financial hardship
An applicant may obtain a postponement or excusal if the applicant will suffer a financial hardship that will significantly compromise the applicant's ability to support himself, herself or dependents. In determining whether the applicant's ability to provide such support is significantly compromised, the court or Commissioner of Jurors may require the following documentation:
a. A statement from the applicant setting forth (i) the applicant's sources of income, (ii) the applicant's hours of work, (iii) the amount of money that would be lost as a result of jury service, and (iv) the impact that this loss will have on (A) the applicant's ability to provide support to the applicant and his or her dependents and (B) where appropriate, the ability of the applicant to maintain his or her business.
b. Forms filed with governmental taxing authorities showing the financial status of the applicant and, where relevant, of his or her business.
3. Needs of the public
An applicant may obtain a postponement or excusal if his or her absence to serve as a juror would jeopardize to a significant degree the health, welfare or safety of the public. In determining whether the health, welfare or safety of the public would be significantly jeorpardized, the judge or Commissioner of Jurors may require a statement by the applicant setting forth (i) the nature and duties of his or her service to the public, (ii) the hours when such service is performed, and (iii) the availability of others to perform such service in his or her absence. The performance of duities that affect the public shall not by itself serve as a ground for postponement or excusal without a showing that the specific individual services performed by the applicant meet the criteria contianed in these guidelines.
4. Lack of transportation
An applicant may obtain a postponement or excusal if (i) the applicant does not have access to a private vehicle, (ii) there is no available public transportation that will permit the applicant to travel to the court in a reasonable time, and (iii) use of other alternate means of transportation to the court would create a severe financial burden. In determining whether an applicant lacks transportation to appear in court to serve as a juror, the judge or Comissioner of Jurors may require a statement by the applicant setting forth (i) the reasons the applicant cannot obtain transportation to the court, (ii) the applicant's current employment status and transportation arrangements to his or her place of employment, and (iii) the anticipated duration of the applicant's inability to obtain the necessary transportation.
C. Matters of conscience
Applications for excusal from jury service based upon matters of conscience should be handled during jury selection or determined by the trial judge.
Members of the clergy who request excusal for matters of conscience shall be excused by the Commissioner of Jurors, unless determined otherwise by the court, and removed from the current list of qualified jurors. In support of each request, the following documentation shall be submitted to he Commissioner of Jurors: (1) a written statement by the applicant identifying the religious beliefs on which the request is based; and (2) a written statement by the head of the religious organization or authorized designee supporting the request.

NEW YORK, Jan 16 (Reuters) - New Yorkers are overwhelmingly optimistic about new mayor Bill de Blasio though most disagree with his plan to ban horse-drawn carriages in Central Park, a poll shows.
"New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is having a honeymoon," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University poll released on Thursday.
Two thirds of New York City voters expect good things from de Blasio, who took over on Jan. 1 after the exit of three-term mayor Michael Bloomberg, and just over half approve of the job de Blasio has done so far.
But de Blasio's plan to do away with horse-and-buggy rides - a beloved and time-honored tourist tradition that has also drawn the ire of animal welfare groups - does not sit well with a majority of New Yorkers. While de Blasio has described the ban as a priority, six in 10 New York voters are against it.
De Blasio has long argued that hansom cab rides are inhumane, while some see it as bowing to the city's animal rights lobby, which launched a ferocious challenge to a mayoral candidate who opposed the ban.
Nevertheless, it is expected to be included in a City Council bill this month, with supporters saying they are confident it will pass, while representatives of the carriage industry are expecting the issue to end up in court.
Nearly seven in 10 New Yorkers back one of de Blasio's signature proposals: increasing income tax on the city's top earners to pay for pre-kindergarten and after-school programs.
The power to raise taxes lies with state lawmakers and Governor Andrew Cuomo, who favors tax cuts, and the proposal faces an uphill battle in Albany.
Opinions are divided over the role of de Blasio's wife, Chirlane McCray, whom he describes as his most important adviser. McCray was a frequent presence on the campaign trail and the couple's bi-racial children were featured in TV ads.
About a quarter of voters say the city's first lady should have a major role in shaping policy, while 36 percent believe she should play only a minor role and 30 percent say she should have no role.
The survey of 1,288 New York City voters was conducted from Jan. 9 to Jan. 15, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points. (Reporting By Edith Honan; editing by Gunna Dickson)

When I read Ready Player One it reminded me of a cross between the last Harry Potter book and Hunger Games with the same premise of a lone teen battling evil. The book is set in the United States in the year 2044 when things have gone bad due to climate change and poverty. Wade Watts is an impoverished 18-year-old orphan living in a vertical trailer park called the "stacks". He has rigged up a junked van as his sanctuary where he can log into his virtual school and spend all of his free time in the virtual world of OASIS.

I am a huge Lisa Scottoline fan. Her suspense novels are fabulous and keep me guessing to the very last page. Who knew she could also write humor? Scottoline and her daughter, Francesca Serritella, teamed up to put together one of the funniest books I have read in a long time. Titled Meet Me at Emotional Baggage Claim, the book caught my eye on the new nonfiction shelves the other day and I read it last night from cover to cover. It is hilarious!
It's raining bargains at the Fond du Lac Public Library's BookCellar. The city's only used book store is holding two great sales in April:
April 6 No Foolin' Sale: Free magazine with every purchase of an audio book.
April 15 and April 20 Sideshow Sale: Three paperbacks for $1 (some restrictions apply). This sale is being held to celebrate National Library Week (April 14-20). The library is holding a Big Top: The Greatest Library Event party from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 20.

St. Patrick's Day is coming, so here is a fun book to celebrate Irish storytelling. The Pig Did It by Joseph Caldwell is the first book in a humorous trilogy set in present day Ireland. The main character, Aaron McCloud, goes to Ireland from New York to see his Aunt Kitty and brood about his bad luck in love. Aunt Kitty is close to Aaron's age and writes "corrected' versions of classic novels. On the bus to Kitty's house, some loose pigs are blocking the road, and Aaron helps round them up only to find himself stranded with a pig no one claims.
Kids ages 6 and older who could benefit from practicing their reading are invited to participate in Paws to Read at the Fond du Lac Public Library.

@Quesi I suppose that you live in UK. I'm wrong ?
Within the South Asian community, (which is the one I know best) geopolitical disputes between Muslims and Hindus (and to a lesser degree Sikhs) colors their interpretations of the scriptures. Most South Asian Muslims I know, will say of Christians (and usually Jews) "But we all believe in the ONE GOD."
In their minds, "people of the Book" are all ok.
The problem is those damned Pagans. And that would be the Hindus.
I have Muslim friends who regularly give Christmas cards to Christian friends, because they are happy to help their friends celebrate the birth of Jesus, which is written about extensively in the Quran.
But when it comes to Hindus, they will whisper "but they are PAGANS." According to folks in the South Asian community, Mohammad was much more concerned about pagans than Christians and Jews. Again, these interpretations probably stem more from geopolitical issues than from the scriptures themselves, and adherents look to their holy book to find justification for their political stances.

Real Money. Real World. hits WMS students
Wapakoneta Middle School students got a glimpse of their "real world" future, where taxes, child care and credit debt lie in store for them.
"Real Money. Real World.," an Ohio State University Extension program, was created to give youth an opportunity to make budgeting decisions in a "real world" simulation.
"This helps teach kids how to man a household, keep a checkbook, learn about taxes and deductions, understand the importance of an education and how that can influence income," OSU Extension Educator Beth Miller said.
Miller said "Real Money. Real World." will visit every school in Auglaize County and is visiting Wapakoneta City Schools through the family and consumer science classes.
The program is geared toward eighth-graders and will be returning in April to reach the other half of the grade.
"It's a good opportunity for them to appreciate what they have and learn the value of an education," Miller said. "If you want those goals to come true, you're going to have to work to get there."
Students visited various booths offering important services they will be required to purchase once living as an independent person.
"We're learning about money management," Tyler Jenkins, 13, said.
Jenkins said he picked his "career" out of a jar, which turned out to be a paving equipment operator, making $40,818 a year.
Jenkins said he was fairly happy with his job, since most of the deductions and costs were not a struggle.
Students received various careers and salaries and were required to make decisions about their lifestyles in relation to their earnings.
Students chose to obtain credit, including taking out loans and credit cards, and chose whether they would earn a low wage or earn a college degree and go into debt.
They reviewed their communication options, including Internet, phone and cable, and they purchased utilities, including electric, natural gas, water, sewer and trash.
Students were required to make decisions that
See REAL, Page 5A
would affect their lifestyle, including what kind of car to buy, where to send children to childcare, whether to purchase new or used clothing, where to shop for groceries, whether to spend money on entertainment or to seek free activities, among others.
Wapakoneta police officer Jeff Eisert participated in the event, making sure students who purchased a car went straight to the insurance booth and paid for car insurance. If not, they received a $75 fine.
"Following rules is part of life," Eisert said. "Better here than to get a ticket in real life."
Ashley Robison, 14, received her first $75 fine after purchasing her car without insurance. After skipping the insurance booth a second time, Eisert stopped her again, giving her $150 worth of citations.
Visiting the insurance booth after two citations, Robison said she learned her lesson.
"After you get a ticket, you go get insurance," Robison said.
One of the bigger decisions, whether to purchase a house or rent an apartment, was difficult for Alyssa Adkins, 14.
"I decided to rent, and, if I have money, I'll come back and buy a house," Adkins said.
Adkins said she wanted to get through all the booths and then see what she had left over before making and serious choices. She said she did not want to run out of funds.
Adkins' chosen career was a personal financial adviser, making $91,000 a year.
"It's a little overwhelming at eighth grade," Adkins said. "I don't think we should have to worry about things like this just yet."

If you like the look of hand-cut dovetails, but don't have time (or patience) for all the meticulous work it takes to create them, then try this table saw method which uses a sliding dovetail sled to cut 90 percent of each joint. The jig cuts dovetails far faster than you can cut them by hand, and you can size the pins and tails and customize their spacing to suit just about any project — join drawer sides, build a box or small chest, etc.
For the Dovetail Sled's Diagram and Materials List, click here to download the PDF.
With care and a bit of practice, you can produce large or medium sized, "furniture grade" 8° dovetails in both hard and soft woods. However, I think the jig is best for quickly cutting workmanlike joints that are serviceable for jobs like joining parts for tool chests and totes, drawers for kitchen or shop cabinets, and so on.
You can make the dovetail sled from either MDF or a high quality plywood, such as Baltic birch. Most of the jig is made from 1/2"-thick stock. As shown, this jig is capable of handling stock up to about 12" wide (you can build a jig to handle larger work: simply increase all dimensions proportionally to build a bigger jig — just keep all the angles the same).
Making the Jig
Start by cutting out the jig base (piece 1) and a pair of 1/2" pin fences (pieces 2) that align and support the pin boards. Bevel the inside-facing end of each pin fence at 82°. Glue and nail two triangular braces (pieces 3), cut at 45°, to the inside face of each pin fence, then attach them to the baseplate, as shown in Figure 1. Position each at an 8° slant relative to the front edge of the base.
Using a taper jig on the table saw, cut two pairs of 8° wedges out of 3/4" stock. Glue each pair together to form the wide ramps (pieces 4) that will support the tail boards at an 8° angle. Glue and nail each ramp flush with the long edge of the base, as shown in Figure 2 (don't drive nails in the area around the middle section of the ramps, where the table saw blade passes during use).
Butt the tail fence (piece 5) up to the inside of the ramps and fasten it in place, using three more triangular braces to keep it perpendicular to the base, as shown in Figure 3. Set the jig aside to let the glued parts dry overnight.
To guide the jig, I fastened an adjustable miter bar (piece 6) to the underside of the jig's base with short washerhead screws, as shown in Figure 4. Center the bar and use a large try square or framing square to set it dead square to the base's long edges. Set the finished sled's bar into one of your table saw's miter slots and adjust the bar so it's free of side play, yet slides smoothly.
With a regular, not thin-kerf, blade fitted, start the saw and carefully "cut in" a registration slot on the pin fence as shown in Figure 5 on the following page. Move the bar to the other miter slot and cut in the second slot, then flip the sled around and cut in both registration slots on the tail fence side. To make the jig safer to use, glue square 2x4 exit blocks (pieces 7) to the base at the back of each slot, directly over the saw kerfs you just cut. To keep the jig from sliding beyond the point where the saw blade passes through the exit blocks, clamp a stop block into both of the saw's miter slots.
Cutting Dovetails
To use the jig, start by marking out the width and spacing of the dovetail pins on the outside-facing side of all your project's pin boards (label the outside face, to help you orient the board for cutting later). Remember, you're drawing the "narrow" side of the pins. Figure 6 shows the angle of the pins in red for illustration; no need to mark pin angles on your boards, since those are set by the fence angles. Draw an "X" to indicate the waste areas between the pins. Use a square to draw a line across the end of each pin board to indicate pin depth — just a thin hair deeper than the thickness of the tailboards.
Now set the jig in the table saw's right-hand slot. Hold the stock firmly against the left-hand pin fence, with the pin board's inside face against the fence. Set your table saw's depth of cut to just reach the depth line on the pin board. Now cut on the waste side of each mark that delineates the right-hand edge of the pin (Figure 7). For accuracy, use the saw kerf in the jig to line up your cuts.
When all the righthand cuts are done, move the jig to the saw's left-hand slot and repeat the process, this time cutting on the waste side of the left-hand edge of each pin. (If you have trouble keeping your lefts and rights straight, try labeling each pin mark "right" or "left.") You can remove the remainder of pin waste by taking multiple closely spaced saw passes, as shown in Figure 8.
Once pin boards are cut, use the pins themselves to transfer the dovetail layout to the inside face of each corresponding tail board (Figure 9). Label the inside face of each tailboard and mark the waste side of each line. Then, draw a square line across each joint to indicate tail depth.
Now flip the jig around front to back and use the tail-cutting ramps to saw out the tails (Figure 10). First, reset the saw's depth of cut so that the blade just nicks the joint depth line. Use the left- and right-hand ramps to cut along the right- and left-hand tail marks just as you did with the pins, moving the jig from one miter slot to the other as necessary. Hold the outside face of each tailboard against the fence and make sure to cut on the waste side of each line.
Rather than chopping out the waste between tails by hand, it's quicker and neater to saw the waste out using a band saw (or scrollsaw). I use a 1/8" wide, 14 TPI blade in my band saw, setting the saw's fence to guide the stock so that the blade cuts just shy of the joint depth line (Figure 11). Use a chisel and/or knife to clean up the inside corners of the tails and pins, as necessary, and to trim them for a tight, clean fit.

Abo bail reduced from $1 million to $500,000
He must post $50,000 to secure his release
Yamhill County Circuit Court Judge Cynthia Easterday reduced bail for alleged child beater Michael Abo from $1 million to $500,000 during a release hearing Wednesday afternoon.
Abo, 34, a former Yamhill County Sheriff's Office deputy and an inactive reserve officer for the Yamhill Police Department, could secure his release by posting $50,000.
He is charged with physically abusing his girlfriend's 4-year-old son on two occasions.
The sheriff's office and Sheridan Fire District medical personnel responded New Years Eve to Abo's Northwest Evans Street home in Sheridan and discovered the boy had sustained multiple external and internal injuries.
He was transported by Life Flight helicopter to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland and is listed in critical condition.
Abo was arrested and is charged with two counts each of first-degree assault and first-degree criminal mischief. The assault charge is a Class A felony and Measure 11 offense, punishable on conviction by a mandatory minimum prison sentence. The criminal mistreatment charge is a Class C felony.
He is lodged in the Washington County Jail in Hillsboro. Given Abo's local law enforcement connections, he was moved to Washington County from the local facility.
He tentatively will be arraigned at 1:20 p.m. Monday in Yamhill County Circuit Court, at which time a grand jury indictment will have been returned. Abo will be transported from Hillsboro to McMinnville for the appearance.
Deputy District Attorney Alicia Eagan argued that bail should remain at $1 million.
Abo's privately-retained attorney, Mark Cogan of Portland, asked for a reduction to $50,000, which would have required the posting of $5,000 to gain his client's release.

For the more information about water resources in the National Park Service, please visit https://www.nature.nps.gov/water/.
Water Quality Program
The Water Quality Program is part of the Aquatic Systems Branch of the Water Resources Division. Water quality activities are broadly categorized into three program areas: 1) national program coordination and management; 2) project proposal development, funding, and management; and 3) technical assistance and support to parks. Currently, the primary focus of the program is on managing the Vital Signs Water Quality Monitoring program. Considerable support is also provided for managing the NPS-USGS Water Quality Partnership program and participating on interagency groups like the National Water Quality Monitoring Council. Technical assistance to parks on water quality and contaminants issues remains a high priority. Directly funded project support has diminished because the Division has been unable to financially support the Water Resources Competitive project program in recent years.
The Vital Signs water quality monitoring program, supported by the Natural Resources Challenge, is designed to track and support attainment of NPS and Department of the Interior strategic goals to protect pristine water quality and improve impaired water quality by supporting the Clean Water Act protections and provisions for designated unimpaired and impaired waters. NPS offices are integrating the water quality monitoring component of the program with the monitoring of other vital signs in parks. Therefore, water quality monitoring may emphasize the support of protected uses through water quality standards as developed by the states, or emphasize the characterization and determination of trends in water quality conditions due to influences like climate change and urbanization. As of 2012 about 110 parks had at least one waterbody that did not meet one or more water quality standards. Annual funding for this water quality monitoring in national parks is approximately $2.6 million.
The NPS-USGS Water Quality Partnership program is a mutual collaboration that began in 1998. The goal of the partnership program is to develop information on park water quality to enable NPS to address its most critical water quality management responsibilities. Both agencies view the water quality partnership as a positive example of the progress that can be achieved by working together to solve resource management problems. Annual funding support for the partnership program is approximately $2.0 million.
Thirty-two network Vital Signs monitoring plans are completed. Most of these plans address water quality and water resources but save the monitoring details for the monitoring protocols and Standard Operating Procedures. To date, water quality protocols have been completed in all networks. Water quality and aquatic protocols are being produced for wadable streams, large rivers, lakes and ponds, seeps and springs, wetlands and wetland habitats, groundwater, estuaries and marine areas, amphibians, macroinvertebrates, fish, stream flow, nutrients, and toxic contaminants. Over $5 million is being invested annually for aquatic Vital Signs monitoring in parks (including $2.6 million from NRSS-WRD).

Portsmouth honors military service members on Armed Forces Day
Event emcee was WMUR's Josh McElveen
Dozens in Portsmouth came out to support the men and women who serve the United States at an event called "Salute Our Soldiers" for Armed Forces Day on Saturday.
Attendees said it was the perfect way to pay tribute to those who are currently serving, and those veterans who have served in the past.
"They sacrifice so much for our country and its just a pleasure to be able to give back a little bit some way and its just one way of doing that," said Gordon Simons.
One of the keynote speakers Saturday was Col. Danny McKnight, whose story was told in the movie, "Black Hawk Down."
"I can't think of anything more important than doing that. That's what its all about tonight. This gathering the first they've ever done," said Simons about the event.
"Salute Our Soldiers." was emceed by WMUR's Josh McElveen, who is also a veteran.
"Literally, there are 60,000 men and women tonight in Afghanistan, serving in harm's way," said retired Admiral Michael Mullen. "Over a couple hundred thousand deployed world wide. We should always remember them and their families."
Money raised at the event will be donated to the nation's service members.

Lowry played with hustle and poise in his Raptors debut and combined with Fields like they were longtime teammates on Wednesday in Toronto's 104-101 pre-season victory over the Washington Wizards.
"(Lowry) has sea legs right now and it affected his shot, but you can see he's a rolling pin going to the basket, he gets to where he wants to go with the ball, he's heady, he sees things that other people don't see, he got Landry going, cutting moving off the ball, which was huge," said Raptors coach Dwane Casey. "Those things you can't teach. He's a true leader."
Fields scored 15 points while Lowry had 14 of his own to go along with six assists.
Amir Johnson added 13 points, Jose Calderon had 12 points and eight assists, and DeMar DeRozan added 11 points for the Raptors (3-1).
Trevor Booker had 12 points to top the Wizards (1-4), while Emeka Okafor, Martell Webster, Jan Vesely and Bradley Beal had 11 apiece.
The Raptors trailed 77-73 heading into the fourth quarter of a game that had seen 15 lead changes.
Toronto managed to build a three-point lead with a minute left in the game and led by a point when Lowry drained two free throws with 13 seconds left to seal it.
Lowry started after missing the first three games of the exhibition schedule — and a good chunk of Toronto's training camp in Halifax — with a groin injury.
Casey had said that Lowry needed to shake off the rust. But the point guard scored the Raptors' first points off a steal and drive to the hoop, and didn't slow down, in front of a crowd of 11,750 that included Jon Bon Jovi and former Raptor Tracy Murray.
"It was great, I had fun, just trying to get my legs under me," Lowry said. "I was a little bit winded, but it was great to get back out there."
During a strong stretch in the third quarter, Lowry repeatedly found Fields cutting to the basket.
"I thought (Fields) did an excellent job, running the floor, back-cutting, moving without the ball," Casey said. "Those things you can't teach, those are instinctive plays, we have them in but a lot of times guys freeze over there, get like a magnet on the three-point line, but he did a great job of cutting, moving without the ball."
Fields said finally having Lowry on the floor was a big boost to the team.
"He's a fantastic player, he demands a lot out of his teammates, so when we're out there we want to give it our best," he said.
Who will start at point guard has been one of the storylines of training camp. Calderon came off the bench to do a decent job of running an energetic second unit, and hit a pair of big three-pointers in the fourth quarter.
Jonas Valanciunas, the Raptors' fifth pick in the 2011 draft, also continues to generate a buzz with his play just three games into his tenure in Toronto. The big Lithuanian brought his teammates on the bench to their feet with a first-quarter play that saw him pump fake twice before blowing by Okafor for a one-handed dunk.
"He is a very strong player and very active," Okafor said of guarding Valanciunas. "He is a difficult player to play against because he is high energy and is always moving, always doing something."
Toronto's Andrea Bargnani got kicked in the left calf in the third quarter and left the game. Raptors officials said the injury isn't related to the strained calf that kept him out of 35 games last season.
Toronto has started off slowly in each of its games in the pre-season and Wednesday was no exception as the Raptors trailed 34-24 heading into the second.
"We've got to get our motors going quicker," Casey said. "We don't have two or three minutes to warm up and get loose and get into the game."
The Raptors shot 55 per cent in the second — and held the Wizards to 24 per cent from the field — to lead 54-49 at halftime.
A.J. Price had eight points to pace a Wizards squad that outscored Toronto 28-19 and took a 77-73 lead into the fourth quarter.
NOTES: The Raptors announced before the game they had exercised the fourth year team option on the rookie scale contract of forward Ed Davis. Toronto's 13th pick in the 2010 draft was the lone Raptor to appear in all 66 games last season. ... Raptors rookie Terrence Ross didn't play (sore knee). ... The Raptors meet the New York Knicks on Friday at Montreal's Bell Centre. They host the Indiana Pacers in their season-opener at the Air Canada Centre on Halloween.

A turducken—the name is a portmanteau of turkey, duck, and chicken—is a dish consisting of a partially de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken. The thoracic cavity of the chicken and the rest of the gaps are stuffed, sometimes with a highly seasoned breadcrumb mixture or sausage meat, although some versions have a different stuffing for each bird.
The result is a fairly solid layered poultry dish, suitable for cooking by braising, roasting, grilling, or barbecuing. The turducken is not suitable for deep frying Cajun style (to deep fry poultry, the body cavity must be hollow to cook evenly).
Claims that Cajun-creole fusion chef Paul Prudhomme created this dish as part of the festival Duvall Days in Duvall, Washington in 1983[1] are unverified. A November 2005 National Geographic article by Calvin Trillin traced the American origins of the dish to "Hebert's Specialty Meats" in Maurice, Louisiana. They have been commercially producing turduckens since 1985, when an unknown local farmer brought in his own birds and asked Hebert's to prepare them in the now-familiar style. The company prepares around 5,000 turduckens per week around Thanksgiving time.[2]
Turducken is often associated with the "do-it-yourself" outdoor food culture also associated with barbecueing and shrimp boils, although some people now serve it in place of the traditional roasted turkey at the Thanksgiving meal. As their popularity has spread from Louisiana to the rest of the Deep South and beyond, they have become available through specialty stores in urban areas or by mail order.
The popularity of turducken is mostly limited to the United States and Eastern Canada.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. – Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence also ruled the red carpet at the 85th Academy Awards Sunday evening, according to The Daily Voice's readers poll.
As of 11:30 a.m. Monday, Lawrence had received 33 percent of the vote in a poll that asked readers who they thought was the best dressed actress at the Hollywood awards show .
Out of a choice of Best Actress nominees Jessica Chastain ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Lawrence ("Silver Linings Playbook") and Naomi Watts ("The Impossible") along with Best Supporting Actress nominee Anne Hathaway ("Les Miserables"), red carpet mainstay Charlize Theron , or "Other," Lawrence, 22, came out the winner for both fashion and acting.
In a surprising moment Sunday night, the actress tripped as she walked up the steps to accept her award. Once onstage, Lawrence received a standing ovation, which she jokingly attributed to sympathy for her fall.

After suffering a concussion that caused him to miss Tanglewood, Andris Nelsons met the Boston Symphony Orchestra Tuesday for a rehearsal.
This was his first rehearsal at Symphony Hall since being named the orchestra's music director.
At 10:30, Nelsons, wearing a Tanglewood shirt, walked on stage, spoke of his excitement of arriving in Boston, and said, "Let's start with Brahms."
Nelsons found it hard to sit on the stool provided for him, leaping up at dramatic moments and swaying during Brahm's "Symphony No. 3."
He smiled often as he worked through the piece, which will be part of a program to be performed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
The new director had a quiet moment before rehearsal at Boston Symphony.

Crete is much smaller than Sicily, but is the largest of all of Greece's islands. The island is approximately 260 kilometers long and 60 kilometers wide, but is known for its varied terrain. Here you'll find everything from white sandy beaches to mountains, gorges and rivers.
The Azamara Quest tendered in the ancient Venetian port of Chania. Chania's Old Town is very well preserved, and the mix of Greek, Venetian and Ottoman influences are fascinating. Even though it's October, it was a very warm, sunny day – perfect for strolling the cobblestoned streets, shopping and enjoying patios.
We stopped for lunch at a family-run restaurant near Old Harbour called Xani, and ordered a variety of Greek specialties – tzatziki, Greek salad with a substantial about of feta cheese, souvlaki and gyro.
We walked the calories off by strolling down the waterfront and breakwater to see Chania's iconic lighthouse up close. The lighthouse was originally built by Venetians in 1570, and was reconstructed in 1830.
Chania is home to several museums, including a Greek National Football Museum, the Museum of Typography, the Archaeological Museum, and my Hide & Tweet location: The Maritime Museum of Crete. You'll find this museum along the Venetian waterfront, and admission is only three Euros. It's small, but well worth a few minutes of your time. Crete has a fascinating maritime history, and the museum was the perfect place to learn about it. The island has been occupied by the Romans, Saracens, Genoeses, Venetians and Turks, and was occupied by Nazi forces during WWII.
Congratulations to Instagram user @lifeofmytime, who correctly identified my location! She'll receive a Fujifilm Instant Camera. Perfect for capturing memories on your next cruise!
Just before sunset, we returned to the Azamara Quest to enjoy the White Night onboard party.
If you've never experienced one of these legendary parties, you simply must. What an event! The AzAmazing crew turned the pool deck into a restaurant, and guests enjoyed an incredible buffet dinner. Later, a group of musicians and dancers came onboard and treated everyone to a local folkloric performance. Many guests even learned to do a traditional Greek dance!
Tomorrow, I'll be Hiding and Tweeting from the beautiful island of Santorini! Will you find me?

School counselors help students thrive in their current education and future careers. They love to connect with students and make an impact on their lives. Over the years, the demand for school counselors has not only increased, but the demand for additional support has as well. School counselor requirements include having a bevy of resources to help students figure out their career path. One of the resources counselors use to determine possible career paths is career aptitude testing.
Most commonly taken in high school, career aptitude tests help assess a student's strengths and skills that will translate into their ideal career path. School counselors use this in their career as a foundation to work with students. By using a career aptitude test, school counselors can help determine the right extracurricular activities and curriculum that is perfectly tailored for their students.
There are multiple career aptitude tests that school counselors can use to their benefit. There are skills career tests that evaluate a student's readily available skills, and there are
nike free run 2 mens 11
that use a series of simple (yet surprisingly challenging) mind games to measure different cognitive and social traits. Furthermore, there are personality tests to help determine what industries and roles you will find the most fulfilling. For school counselors, it is important to use more than one test to achieve a holistic perspective of a student's career path.
Some common career aptitude tests include:
Career aptitude tests measure one's reaction to situations and accomplished tasks in his or her daily life. A career assessment quiz includes questions about the individual's hobbies, talents, interests and overall personality. Most importantly, they also help highlight someone's strengths and weaknesses. After taking a career assessment quiz, the student should come away learning more about themselves, and the school counselor should ultimately be able to connect the dots and help design a post-high school roadmap.
Aptitude assessments provide school counselors with the information needed to help students make future educational and career path decisions. It presents an opportunity to help students think about options that were not previously considered and gives them a true sense of what they are currently capable of doing. For school counselors, this is another resource or tool that they can use to build customized plans for students. Using these assessments, in addition to examining grade point averages, standardized test scores, and extracurricular activities, can help identify a student's true potential.

Reorganizing data in a spreadsheet can be a pain. Especially when you have to make big changes that a
air jordan 9 boot multicolor background
won't fix.
One of the common tasks that fall into this category is transposing—turning rows into columns, or columns into rows.
Without any special help from Excel, that takes a long time. But Excel has some built-in transposing capabilities that make the process easier.
NEW: I've just released brand-new FREE Excel training. You learn about formulas and functions. It's perfect for the beginner .
Let's take a look at turning rows into columns (and vice versa) in Excel, as well as a few of the things you'll need to keep in mind when you do so.

Chapter 7: Wrapping things up…Chapter 7: Defining transposition
Before we start, let's make sure we know exactly what transposing is.
In short, transposing is taking a row and turning it into a column, or a column and turning it into a row . Some people call this "rotating" a row or column.row and turning it into a column, or a column and turning it into a row
The leftmost cell in a row will always become the topmost cell in a column, and the topmost cell in a column will always become the leftmost cell in a row.
This ensures that column and row labels are always in the right place.
