Bronx Historian to Give Talk on Anne Hutchinson May 12
May 9, 2011
Bronx historian and Lehman Adjunct Professor Lloyd Ultan will deliver a talk on Anne Hutchinson on Thursday, May 12, at 1 p.m. in the Lehman College Art Gallery's Rotunda. The talk—titled "Anne Hutchinson in the Bronx: Who was She?"—is part of "The Anne Hutchinson Year," a celebration of America's first feminist and historical icon. Admission is free and open to the campus community.
Born in 1591 in Elizabethan England, Hutchinson along with her husband, William, and their children moved to Boston, Mass. in 1634. There, she put her skills as a midwife and herbalist to use, caring for both the sick and childbearing women. She held meeting groups in her home where the discussion often focused on excessive business practices and religious intolerance. Her views were seen as a threat to the establishment, however, and she was soon called out as a heretic, which forced her and her family into exile in the colony of Rhode Island, where they founded a settlement in present-day Portsmouth.
After her husband's death in 1642, Hutchinson and her family moved to the northeast corner of present-day Bronx. The area was rife with retaliatory attacks by the local Siwanoys Indians against Dutch settlers over conflicting land claims. Hutchinson and her family were killed, save for one daughter, during one of these attacks.
This event is sponsored by the Bronx County Historical Society and is just one of several events taking place throughout the Bronx in the month of May. For more information, call 718-885-3423.

The Southington YMCA's annual Teen Dodgeball Tournament returns for another throw later this month.
The tournament, now in its third year, is broken up into tow divisions, middle school and high school. There is a maximum of 16 teams per division.
"In the past two years we've had some success with it," said tournament organizers Steve Silva.
Silva said the two divisions in the double elimination tournament filled quickly last year and that he may expand the number of teams, depending on how the field shapes up. The tournament has been advertised in the schools.
"The response has been great," Silva said.
Silva said the idea for the tournament goes back to his fond middle school memories of playing the game and he noted that dodgeball is still a favorite in the YMCA's Tw-Y-Light program.
The tournament is slated for Sunday, Jan. 27 at the YMCA. The cost of participating is $5 per person, with a maximum of six players per team required. An extra $2 fee is added for game day registration.
The sixth through eighth grade division begins at noon and the ninth through twelfth grade division starts at 12:30 p.m.
The top teams in each division will win a trophy and participants do not have to be YMCA members. Registration forms are available at the front desk at the YMCA.
All of the money raised from the tournament will be used to fund various teen programs at the YMCA.
For more information, contact Teen Program Director Steve Silva at 426-9521 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye has revealed he turned down a chance to join Tottenham over the summer.
Cabaye has impressed since joining Newcastle in 2011 from Lille, and has attracted reported interest from Manchester United.
Tottenham spent much of their summer looking for a replacement for Luka Modric, who left White Hart Lane for Real Madrid towards the end of the transfer window.
Spurs tried and failed with their attempts to land their main target, Joao Moutinho from Porto, with the move collapsing in the final minutes of deadline day.
Now Cabaye has revealed he was offered a chance to swap the north east for north London, but turned down the offer because he felt he was not 'meant to leave'.
"The offer from Tottenham was to replace Modric," he told French television.
"If I had wanted to leave I would have; I have not left, I was not meant to leave as I am still here and I hope a lot of good things will come out of it.
Newcastle finished just outside the Champions League qualification spots in 5th last year, one place behind Spurs who still missed out on the competition because of Chelsea's final victory against Bayern Munich.
Cabaye says he is loving life in England so far, and will try and improve in order to help the Magpies, who currently sit in 10th place in the Premier League, go one better than last time.
"For me the Premier League is the best league in the world, you have to work twice as hard and we know about the high tempo in every match," he said.
"This is what attracted me and I will develop physically."

Courageous Discourse
Hannah Arendt's riveting search for the truth
Darleen Ortega | 12/18/2013, 4:10 p.m.
I'll confess, I went to see "Hannah Arendt" during its brief Portland theatrical run last summer with only the vaguest notion about its subject and with no real expectation of being moved or entertained. I knew that Arendt was a philosopher and political theorist of some note and that her writing was of historical importance, so I saw an opportunity to further my education. A film about a philosopher was not destined to be riveting.
But riveted I was, and quite inspired. How often does one get the chance to see a film whose subject is a middle-aged woman in a supportive and connected long-term marriage, who is a visionary thinker with the courage to rigorously examine hard questions and to express and then hold to her perspective on those questions, even in the face of withering criticism?
It took a group of strong women -- including German feminist writer-director Margerethe Von Trotta, co-writer Pamela Katz, and producer Bettina Brokemper -- to recognize the dramatic potential in Arendt's story and bring it to life. They studied Arendt's body of work and biographical works about her, as well as reading her letters and interviewing those who knew her, anxious to capture the sense of her significance as a thinker but also her character as a woman, lover, and friend.
Arendt had a dramatic life -- she was a Jew born and educated in Germany who fled to Paris in 1933 as the National Socialist Party was gaining prominence, then was briefly interned in the infamous Gurs detention camp before escaping to the U.S. -- but the filmmakers did not want to make a typical biopic that attempts to capture all her life's major events. They ultimately chose to focus on a four-year period, a decade after Arendt had achieved prominence as a writer, thinker, and teacher in the U.S., when she produced some of her most enduring and controversial work.
In 1961, Arendt traveled to Israel to cover the trial of Adolf Eichmann for the New Yorker. She had sought the assignment out of a keen interest in understanding what had driven Eichmann to become such an important architect of the Nazis' deportation of European Jews to the death camps. The film uses actual footage of Eichmann's testimony to show what inspired Arendt to write a series of articles and, eventually, a book explaining her now-famous theory of the "banality of evil."
In Arendt's view, acts of terrific evil may and often do arise not from malevolent design but from an abdication of the human responsibility to think critically. Eichmann's testimony and demeanor demonstrated a piteous quality of small-mindedness, characterized by persistent invocation of hierarchies and the claim that in all of his actions, leading to the death of millions, he was merely following orders. Arendt's work in response to the trial addressed the pivotal importance of critical thinking, the courage and intention that critical thinking requires, and the devastating potential of a failure to do so.
For many people grappling to understand and, indeed, to distance themselves from the enormity of the evils perpetrated by the Nazis, Arendt's theories were not only challenging but deeply offensive. Arendt particularly angered the Jewish community by including in her analysis observations about the role that Jewish leaders had played in cooperating with the Nazis. She was attacked for being arrogant and heartless, for forsaking her own identity and people. She was excoriated in the press, was threatened with the loss of her academic post, and even lost friends as a result of her work.

At the upcoming 2nd International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science (CLOSER 2012) we – Robert Grossman, Andreas Harth, Philippe Cudré-Mauroux and myself – will present a paper with the title Large-Scale Linked Data Processing: Cloud Computing to the Rescue? and the following abstract:
Processing large volumes of Linked Data requires sophisticated methods and tools. In the recent years we have mainly focused on systems based on relational databases and bespoke systems for Linked Data processing. Cloud computing offerings such as SimpleDB or BigQuery, and cloud-enabled NoSQL systems including Cassandra or CouchDB as well as frameworks such as Hadoop offer appealing alternatives along with great promises concerning performance, scalability and elasticity. In this paper we state a number of Linked Data-specific requirements and review existing cloud computing offerings as well as NoSQL systems that may be used in a cloud computing setup, in terms of their applicability and usefulness for processing datasets on a large-scale.
A pre-print is available now and if you have any suggestions please let me know.

2012 FanExpo This Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun!
It's been a month since I last posted. Why? Because I've been creating an army of creatures for FanExpo which takes place this weekend starting tomorrow in Toronto.
I'll be in the Artist Alley section (you can see the map marked with my location in far left corner - not too far from the Tim Burton Frankenweenie exhibit) at table A45.
I have taken loads of pictures for all the new creations waiting for their big premiere but haven't had two seconds free to post them. August has been a runaway train.
To remedy this, I decided to snap a couple of quick pictures for all of you to take a sneak peek (more below) and see what the table will look like this year, and who is on offer.
I always do a trial run for the table before a big show. This year, there are so many critters I barely have room for them all: Plague Doctors, Little Minions, Dark Dwellers, Carnivorous Plants, mini pumpkins and more.
So come visit me sometime over the next four days!
best of luck! everything
best of luck! everything looks great!
Have a great time at the Expo!
And I hope every single one of your lovely creations finds a good home.

* U.S. Plains wheat at risk
* Drought continues in Plains States
* Midwest rains raise water levels of Mississippi River
By Sam Nelson
CHICAGO, Jan 11 (Reuters) - A cold snap expected early next
week in the U.S. Plains' hard red winter wheat region may harm
some of the crop that's already struggling amid the worst
drought in more than 50 years, an agricultural meteorologist
said on Friday.
"There will be a lack of snow cover in eastern Colorado and
western Kansas, so there could be some damage there.
Temperatures will fall to zero Sunday morning in western
Kansas," said Andy Karst, meteorologist for World Weather Inc.
The U.S. Plains remained tightly gripped by a severe
drought, according to a report issued Thursday, and fears
mounted that another hot and dry year could lie ahead for key
crop-growing and cattle-grazing regions.
The government declared much of the central and southern
U.S. Wheat Belt a natural disaster area on Wednesday due to a
persistent drought that imperils this year's winter wheat
In its first disaster declaration of the new year, the
Agriculture Department made growers in large portions of four
major wheat-growing states - Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and
Texas - eligible for low-interest emergency loans.
The drought also trimmed U.S. corn and soybean production,
leading to expectations for the government to again show
tightening U.S. grain stocks in its January crop report to be
released at 11:00 a.m. CST (1700 GMT) on Friday.
The drought had reduced water levels on the main U.S. water
transportation route, the Mississippi River, to levels that
mandated reduced barge loadings and had threatened to halt river
traffic altogether.
Heavy rainfall this week in the U.S. Delta caused flooding
and additional heavy rains are expected Saturday through Monday,
according to Karst.
However, "the rains extended as far north as St. Louis and
this helped bring up water levels on the Mississippi River,"
Karst said. "The rains and snow melt increased the water levels
but this is temporary and the water levels will go back down in
a week."
Shipping groups had warned as recently as last week of an
effective closure of the river along that busy stretch, through
which billions of dollars of grain, coal, fertilizer and other
commodities flow every year.
"The forecasts are looking good," said Lt. Colin Fogarty,
public affairs officer for the Coast Guard's upper Mississippi
River sector that covers the Cairo area and northward.
Shippers are watching river gauges along the waterway to
make sure they can transit low water areas.

Tommy Campbell, Kansas City's Greatest Boxer
In the late 1940s and 1950s, Kansas City native Tommy Campbell won 50 professional fights and became the world's No. 2 lightweight. But thanks to a run-in with organized crime, he is now all but forgotten in the town that nurtured him.
Phil S. Dixon, author of Tommy Campbell: A Boxing Bout with the Mob, relates how Campbell became the only fighter to testify in court about how mobsters attempted to seize control of the lightweight division, muscling him into throwing one fight.
Dixon, a resident of Belton, Missouri, is the author of The Monarchs: 1920-1938; John "Buck" O'Neil: The Rookie, the Man, the Legacy; Wilber "Bullet" Rogan and the Kansas City Monarchs; and The Ultimate Kansas City Baseball Trivia Quiz Book.

Poverty 'could trigger fresh riots'
Rising levels of poverty and scarce job prospects for young people could lead to fresh unrest on British streets, the head of the International Red Cross has warned.
Yves Daccord said worsening economic and social conditions could see a repeat of the summer riots of 2011.
The director general of the International Committee of the Red Cross warned that tensions across Europe were rising and Britain could not be immune.
While the continent has suffered from poverty in the past, the situation now is being exacerbated as austerity policies mean that state support for those on low incomes is being cut back.
"When you have large numbers of young people - educated, unemployed - and at the same time not real options in front of them, yes, you could have absolutely a violent situation," he told BBC Radio 4's The World At One.
"We could be confronted with a large situation of unrest. Absolutely. We will be confronted with tensions and problems, we have seen that already in a country like Spain.
"We have seen that also - even though the situation was different - in the unrest in London in 2011.
"In Europe - and the UK is not apart from Europe - if the economic pressure on people goes on, yes, it will have a social impact on people.
"If young people especially don't see any future, any options, you might be confronted with unrest like in 2011.
"There is no reason why this unrest will not repeat itself."

Most people in digital are now au fait with the idea of attribution modelling, if not the reality, but in the year of 'big data', how many of us are really crunching the numbers to identify the key periods in which to invest?
I'm not talking about knowing when the peaks are and throwing money at them. I'm talking about really understanding when you need to invest in order to assist that peak before it's even happened.
Think lead times. Think objectives. Think overall channel attribution.
If your objective is to boost limited time price reductions, otherwise known in retail as a 'sale', then of course you need to upweight your budget and marketing efforts accordingly. Your objective is to maximise traffic and shift as much stock as possible, for a 'limited time' as the humpteenth promotional email says.
But as we all know, you'll be spending more to give away greater margin, and CFOs don't tend to like that very much. It's not great for your brand or unsubscribe rates either.
I'm talking about understanding your customers' mindset, their decision process, and the correct media to influence that. And of course, the average time it might take them actually result in a conversion.
I know what you are thinking, 'this is nothing new', and you'd be right, but I'm amazed how many businesses I meet are still failing to educate the board through their online investment strategies. And with 71% of businesses increasing their digital budgets this year, getting their sign-off is crucial.
So whilst not new, it's good practise to remind ourselves, and with the new financial year creeping up on most of us, what better time to dazzle the board with well-thought intelligent requests for budget?
Short of getting the board drunk at the Christmas party and writing yourself a blank cheque, in my experience the only way to get their buy-in is through those lovely lovely numbers we have a wealth of at our fingertips.
Time for modelling.
I'm calling this theory 'intelligent levers' and it's all about when and what to pull in order to cause an effect at the right time.
I have split these intelligent levers out as:
- Lead time - what is the average time from first touch to conversion?
- Channel influence objectives - how does the average lead time differ by channel and dynamic, and what are the objectives for each?
- Seasonal influencer - do average lead time and channel influence vary by seasonality?
It's more than just thinking about one factor - we need to consider them in combination.
To give an example, Luxury Travel (and this is purely an example):
- If my average time from 'look to book' is 90-days and I want to to maximise my bookings during the January peak, on a flat average, I would need to upweight my online budget in October/November.
- But then I realise that for sales I make in January, in fact my average lead time for PPC brand is only 30-days, affiliates is 60-days, and PPC generics is 90-days and display is 120-days. So I start to build my budgeting model to take upweight around these dynamics relative to my target peak.
- To add another layer of complexity, this can all be subject to change by seasonality too… In summer months, my PPC brand lead time may only be 14-days, affiliates 40-days, and PPC generics and display both 60-days. So whilst this may not be relevant to my January peak, I need to think about this for my Q3 campaigns.
In summary, my recommendation would be to invest some serious time and energy into understanding how and when each element of your marketing mix can be best optimised in relation to your objectives, and how those elements work together to help achieve your targets.
In the short term, you may suffer spreadsheet blindness.
In the longer term, you'll present a tight proposal for additional budget that may just get the board's approval first time.
Good luck!

UNHCR Spokesperson Press Briefing (14 October 2008)
This is a summary of what was said by the UNHCR spokesperson at today's Palais des Nations press briefing in Geneva. In particular, see the last question "What is UNHCR's response to the BBC report yesterday (Monday, 13 Oct.) on your work in South Africa?"
Response Letter from António Guterres, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (14 October 2008)
This response formally announces the iniation of an inquiry into the South African UNHCR office and its role in the xenophobia crisis.
Western Cape Civil Society Complaint to UNHCR (13 October 2008)
This complaint reflects a belief amoungst many civil society organizations in the Western Cape that the UNHCR has neglected to adequately and appropriately manage the humanitarian crisis that resulted from the mass displacement of foreigners in South Africa; they have failed to meet their mandate as prescribed by Statute of the UNHCR of 1950; they have ignored the litany of suggestions and input given by civil society; but most importantly, they have failed to support the very people they are mandated to help.
The complaint was accompanied by nearly 300 pages of annexures that included over a hundred personal testimonies from displaced people chronicling their experiences with the UNHCR in South Africa during the xenophobia crisis.

Focallocal: craft making day with the homeless and Gifts for Strangers.
Date(s) - 14/04/2013
4:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Royal Festival Hall
We are putting together an event where we invite some of London's many homeless to a one day craft making workshop; with the idea of encouraging some of those who come to join us for international Gift Giving Day, and experience a role reversal, when many who often beg to get by are empowered to give gifts to passers-by ..and perhaps the simple skills we teach could be used by some attendee's to make a small income in the future, but at the least we will all have a fun craft making day and a free meal.
..scroll down for details
– Focallocal is a collaborative community open to all, combining people from all walks of life around positive projects which benefit our local society.
– Please visit our 'handmade in London' store here:
www.focallocal.org : A treasure trove of unique and exciting products, handmade by local designers, makers and creators living near you:
– Dont forget, its really easy to invite all your friends by clicking the button at the top right here ↗
– Send us a friend request if you'd like to receive invites to all of our big events!! http://www.facebook.com/andyat.focallocal
Focallocal uses our profits to benefit your society. our aim is to make London a brighter, happier place.
Thank you for being a part of our project !!
The event will be on the 15th December and the address will follow shortly.
collaborators and doers needed to make this project a reality, we still need to:
– find funding for materials and food.
– approach homeless charities to co-ordinate
– find a venue
– gather more crafters to teach skills
– help with the food on the day
– bring homemade food
– run the clothes donation station
the aims of the project are:
– to empower those in difficult circumstances to have the opportunity to give generously to a stranger
– to create a humanistic connection between those in need and many who would normally simply walk by.
– with luck, to give skills or ignite a passion which can be used to make a small income (we will suggest attendee's to give away half of their creations)
all aims are underpinned by us all simply having an enjoyable day making crafts, which is a great outcome in itself.
there will also be a picnic, where focallocal members are encouraged to bring home made foods, and also a clothes donation station.

Quote from DreamWalker
Like what ? i only remember few key items that dropped in nm, as a nice end game item from nm, and those were only used in certain builds endgame, not every build that class had. To me, drops in nm were only a nice stepping stone towards reaching end game level. As are some pre 60 legendarys in d3, they just need to drop a little more
Just off the top of my head, harlequin shako hat thing. It could drop in NM, and all classes had an endgame use for it, also viperskin chest could drop in NM, if i remember right, and could be used by all classes in endgame

For the first time in 15 years, Rene Jaro unwrapped the rosary beads he kept around his wrist. He walked into the firehouse on Boylston Street, pressed them into the palms of an Engine 33 firefighter, and passed on his blessing.
"God will be always in those beads, and God will be anywhere those beads go," Jaro said as he walked back out into the sunshine, pulling up his jacket sleeve to reveal two rows of shallow dents in his wrist where the beads had lain against his skin for 10 and 15 years. "I feel like I'm empty, but I know it's going to the team that needs it most."
Since word of the deaths of two of the firefighters stationed on Boylston Street began to spread Wednesday, they have come: dignitaries and neighbors, homeless men and fellow firefighters.
They have brought flowers, but also handwritten poems, oragami, paintings, a bottle of whiskey, and two shot glasses. By Friday morning, the offerings spilled off the sidewalk, and passersby paused to cross themselves or simply to stand in silence.
"It's incredible," said a firefighter standing in the doorway of the firehouse where Engine 33 is stationed, Jaro's rosaries now wrapped around his wrist and a swath of black bunting hanging above his head.
On Wednesday, the firehouse lost two of its own, when a wind-fueled nine-alarm inferno incinerated a building on Beacon Street, trapping Firefighter Michael R. Kennedy and Lieutenant Edward J. Walsh Jr. in the basement.
Walsh and Kennedy were the first to enter 298 Beacon Street at around 2:45 Wednesday afternoon to investigate the source of the smoke wafting from the basement; they never came back out. Some firefighters have speculated that their hose burned through, leaving them without water when what began as an apparently minor fire suddenly exploded in heat and smoke. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but officials have said it appears to have been accidental.
The firefighters' deaths were announced in a press conference at 8 p.m. Wednesday, and immediately the tributes began arriving at the firehouse: small bouquets, single long-stem red roses, croissants, cranberry bread, and cakes.
On Thursday, Fred Mazza, 49 and homeless, said he scraped together enough money to buy a bouquet to add to the growing shrine.
On Friday, he dropped to his knees on the pavement in front of the firehouse, clasped his hands, and bowed his head.
"Have mercy on their souls because of the job that they did," he prayed. "Help the family and help the mother and help all the other firefighters that got injured."
Mazza spends much of his time panhandling at the Dunkin' Donuts a block away on Newbury Street, and he said Walsh and Kennedy would buy him coffee or put money in his paper cup whenever they dropped in.
"I feel so bad," he said, wiping away tears after he finished his prayer. Later, he said, he will go to pray before the charred skeleton of the Beacon Street building.
Civic leaders, too, have made the pilgrimage: Governor Deval Patrick, Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, Mayor Martin J. Walsh, and countless fire and police officials have all arrived to pay their respects. Firefighters current and retired arrive steadily to salute or shake hands.
But from morning until evening in the days since the tragedy, the station has been visited by a stream of neighbors who are used to seeing "their" firefighters every day, out on the sidewalk talking and laughing.
Many tokens left on the sidewalk wink at inside jokes: designer eyeglass cases, a rubber duck, a bottle of Jack Daniel's, a handmade sign paying tribute to Kennedy's heart, laugh, smile, "and most of all . . . mustache."
Some offered up personal talismans that had seen them through their own dark hours.
Joe Banks Jr., 54, handwrote and framed his favorite poem, called "Don't Quit," to bring to the firehouse: "When things go wrong, as they sometimes will / When the road you're trudging seems so up hill . . . When care is pressing you down a bit / Rest if you must but don't you Quit!"
He stumbled across the poem about 15 years ago in a friend's home, he said, after his brother was killed, and he loved it so much that he sat down and copied the whole thing right off the wall. It has seen him through his grief and a battle with cancer.
"It's a sentimental value," he said. "I just wanted to show my appreciation."Akilah Johnson of the Globe staff contributed to this report. Evan Allen can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @evanmallen.

By David Lawder
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans in the House of Representatives are planning to put up for a vote next week a plan that avoids yet another nasty partisan budget fight, this time a potential shutdown of the government when the current temporary spending law runs out at the end of March.
House Republican lawmakers said their caucus voiced strong support at a meeting on Wednesday for a stop-gap measure that would keep federal agencies and programs funded through the September 30 end of the fiscal year.
It would not stop the $85 billion in automatic spending cuts set to take effect on Friday, but it would keep the government running past March 27 when the current government-wide stop-gap spending bill runs out. The government is running on temporary funding measures because Congress has not passed legislation setting spending for the entire fiscal year.
The approach cedes a key leverage point for Republicans in their demand for deep spending cuts, and represents another effort by the party to avoid the kind of dramatic confrontation that the leadership believes has hurt its standing with the public.
Earlier this year, Republicans decided against mounting fight, as they had done in 2011, over raising the nation's borrowing limit, a move which could have led to a default or downgrading of government debt.
What would happen after September 30 would depend on what progress Congress has made on budget legislation that would finance the government for the following year.
"The support in there is wide and deep," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, who proposed the plan. He added that no Republican lawmakers voiced objections and that he feels "very strongly" it will win House passage next week.
If the Republican-led House follows through, it would require approval by the Democratic-led Senate and President Barack Obama.
Rogers also said he did not anticipate opposition from Democrats. A Senate Democratic aide said that while partly leaders would likely insist on some changes, discussions about the House plan were continuing.
The current stop-gap funding measure expires on March 27, and is one of a series of fiscal deadlines this year that have become flashpoints in Congress' long-running budget battles.
Under Rogers' plan, which has been endorsed by House Republican leaders, most government departments and agencies would see reduced spending levels under a so-called continuing resolution based on last year's budget.
But the proposal makes an effort to provide more spending flexibility to the military by attaching new spending bills for the Defense Department, military construction projects and the Veterans Administration.
While these programs would get the same amount of overall funding that they would if the automatic spending cuts, known as a sequester, stay in place, the legislation would allow more efficient use of military dollars. Rogers said the new defense funding bill would free up some $11 billion for military maintenance work that would otherwise be locked in old, unwanted accounts and projects.
But while House Republicans were coalescing around a decision not to risk a potentially disastrous government shutdown, they appeared at loose ends in halting the March 1 sequester.
House Speaker John Boehner repeatedly blamed the president and Senate Democrats this week for failing to come up with a solution for the automatic spending cuts. Meanwhile, he has sought another vote on a plan for alternative spending cuts that the House passed last year.
Inside the closed-door Republican caucus meeting, the mood on sequester was "resigned, and very concerned that the Senate and the president haven't taken any action," said Representative Kristi Noem, a Republican from South Dakota on the House Armed Services Committee.
"But we're preparing ourselves for the fact that the reality is that it looks as though as it's going happen," she said.

In the presence of the attorney for the government, the defendant appeared in person on this date. DEC 19 2011
Christopher W. Dybwad, DFPD
(Name of Counsel)
X GUILTY, and the court being satisfied that there is a factual basis for the plea.

18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1): FELON IN POSSESSION OF A FIREARM AND AMMUNITION as charged in Single-Count First Supplemental Information, and 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1),(b)(1)(B)(viii): DISTRIBUTION OF METHAMPHETAMINE as charged in Count 2 of the Indictment.
The Court asked whether there was any reason why judgment should not be pronounced. Because no sufficient cause to the contrary was shown, or appeared to the Court, the Court adjudged the defendant guilty as charged and convicted and ordered that:
The defendant shall be pay to the United States a special assessment of $200, which is due immediately. Any unpaid balance shall be due during the period of imprisonment, at the rate of not less than $25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons' Inmate Financial Responsibility Program.
All fines are waived as defendant does not have the ability to pay fine.

If you need any help with roll cage let me know. I have been contemplating designing one for the B5, this could be a good warm-up project.

Thanks! When I get to that point I'll drop you a line. Do you have a bender or the cutter that will round ends?
Well, I do plan on taking an ugly amount of pictures, but I hadn't planned on video (I don't have a really nice video camera, but you can use it if you'd like). But you are more than welcome to do a videography if you want.

Click here to go to Klode.com Do a search using just the manufacture "volk" and you will see that they have 162ish matches. These are all wrecked "insurance totaled" vehicles that are auctioned off. If you can find a 1.8T VW that is absolutly destroyed with a good motor you might be able to get it for a very small bid. Then you can have your motor.

Time to turn to your fellow family historians in your local Irish genealogy group.
Don't have one? Start your own!
Starting your own genealogy group is easier than you might imagine. Yes, the first few steps can be a bit intimidating, and you might have to weather a meeting or two alone, but if you persevere, your group will take root. All you need is a few fellow Irish family historians who are willing to meet once a month or so to discuss genealogy research.
My local Irish genealogy group, the Irish American Family History Society, has been together over four years now. We grew from a handful of people who attended classes I gave in the South Jersey area to about 50 people from four states. Approximately 20-25 people attend each monthly meeting. Some of the members get together outside of the meetings to visit archives and cemeteries.
Yesterday, I attended a meeting of an Irish genealogy group that began last year in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. That group, the Irish American Genealogy Group of Delaware County, now meets monthly at the Irish Immigration Center in Upper Darby. That group, too, began with one man, and is growing each month.
Some tips for starting your own group:
- Read your local newspapers, especially any Irish oriented papers, for news of any groups that might already meet.
- If you can't find enough Irish researchers in your area, branch out to include other genealogy areas of interest. I personally believe that only another Irish family historian can truly relate to the difficulties of Irish genealogy research, but starting out with any other fellow genealogists can be a boon to your research.
- Look into your local libraries, your condo, your development's clubhouse, your church, your town hall, and your local Irish clubs for a place to meet.
- If there is a general genealogy society in your locale, inquire whether it might be interested in sponsoring a subgroup of Irish researchers.
- Advertise in newsletters or bulletin boards (physical or virtual) available. Use social networking on the Internet to invite fellow researchers. Approach your local Irish cultural or sport groups to see if they can help you find members.
- Check to see if your town sponsors groups or programs. If you are so inclined and have the skills and knowledge, offer to lead a genealogy workshop for a local continuing education or civic program. Offer to speak at Irish cultural groups about your interest in genealogy. You might snag a few interested beginners.
- Don't be discouraged if the group takes time to grow. Back in the 1990's, I offered to hold a genealogy workshop for a township program. One woman registered. She said she would attend all six meetings if I would, and we did. In the years since, Cathy Walowy has surpassed her "teacher" in genealogy, as well as web design, skills. She is now my "go-to" resource for Polish/Ukrainian research and Internet questions. (See the link below and visit her amazing web page). Interest, not size, matters in a genealogy group.
- If you are interested in forming a more formal group, the Federation of Genealogical Societies is your number one resource. (Link below).

In July 2007, Belle Arti became Forest Hills' only boutique-like music school of European heritage. The school, founded by acclaimed pianists Massimiliano Facchini and Claudette Munné, has since cultivated and refined the talents of thousands of students.
After years of offering vocal and instrument courses, now the owners are coming closer towards their vision of incorporating a full picture of the arts.
For the duration of the summer, Stanisci's comic book workshop will teach kids ages 11 to 17. WPIX Channel 11 personality Mr. G will participate in a session this summer and film it.
"I am pleasantly surprised at the level of enthusiasm my students have," said Stanisci. "I realized that they have a strong fantasy life. Existing inside their heads are characters, adventures, and stories. Now they have a chance to get them into real life on paper."
The workshop will resume in the fall, and a workshop for older teenage students and adults is in the works. Other comic book workshops under consideration include private instruction, a class for younger children, and a portfolio prep course for high school students aspiring to attend a good art college. Another vision is a bi-monthly "life drawing class," where adults can master the art of drawing people.
"Twenty years ago, if you lived in the New York area and were a competent artist you could break into Marvel or DC, but today that doesn't exist," said Stanisci. "You need to seek a school or a mentor who will truly be able to help you develop your skills to a point where you can compete against the best artists in the world.
"You need to say 'I'm in it for the long haul,' hear the criticism, and know that you will grow from that criticism," he added. "It's not just how well you can draw, but you need to give your daily work ethic the respect that a career deserves, or you will stay an amateur."
A personal inspiration was his father, who he observed painting a re-creation of an early 1970s Spiderman-themed rock album cover. "That was the first time I ever saw anyone draw, so I began creating characters and stories," Stanisci said.
When Stanisci was 21, he met the famed comic book artist Klaus Janson. "I became his protégé and learned everything from him," he said.
Today, Stanisci works for DC Comics and IDW Publishing as an inker, penciller, and a writer. His book Batman Beyond: Hush Beyond reached the top spot on The New York Times bestseller list for graphic novels. His upcoming projects for DC Comics are Constantine and Batman Eternal. At IDW Publishing, he has worked on Judge Dredd and The X-Files.
Stanisci's audience has referred to his theme as shadowy and moody.
"If there is a theme, it is the art of visual storytelling," he said, comparing himself to a film's director. "You are not just dealing with one image on a page like a painter, but it's a medium where you create six to eight images per page that work together, are visually interesting, and communicate clearly what the writer of the story intended. That is almost unnatural in the order of art."
To sign up for a consultation or a course, visit their website or call (718) 261-2237.

Alimah the albino scores new home
WEIGHING in at a staggering 45kg and stretching out to a whopping 4.2 metres long, it took the combined efforts of three Australia Zoo reptile keepers, plus Terri, Bindi and Robert Irwin to carry Alimah into her new enclosure.
Terri said Alimah was the only albino Burmese python on display in Australia.
"She is an interesting snake because they grow to be one of the giants," she said.
"She will grow to be about 4.8 metres and about 100kg."
Last week, Lilly the famous reticulated python at Australia Zoo died of old age.
Lilly, at between 35-40 years old, was one of the largest and oldest pythons in captivity.
Bindi said she had known Lilly all her life.
"Saying goodbye to her was certainly sad," she said.
"But she has spent over 30 fantastic years here at Australia Zoo and I am sure Alimah is going to love her new home as much as Lilly did."
Robert said Alimah was such a gorgeous python and she seemed to have felt right at home.

Center to receive more than $4 million for disaster preparednessUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Peter Boylan , (202) 617-7544
Press Secretary, Office of Senator Daniel K. Inouye
Press Secretary, Office of Senator Daniel K. Inouye
Posted: Sep 15, 2011
The UH Mānoa Natural Disaster Preparedness and Training Center will receive $4.71 million to develop and continue training programs designed to prepare Hawaiʻi's first responders for manmade or natural disasters, Senator Daniel K. Inouye, Senator Daniel K. Akaka and Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa announced today.
The funds will be made available through the Homeland Security National Training Program to the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (HSNTP-NDPC), administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The HSNTP-NDPC funds ongoing federal, state, and local efforts to support the design, development, and delivery of training programs that support the national priorities identified by the Department.
The money helps fund and expand programs at the Natural Disaster Preparedness and Training Center at the University of Hawaiʻi-Mānoa.
UH Mānoa operates one of five national centers responsible for the study of border security and immigration; explosives detection, mitigation and response; maritime, island and port security; natural disasters, coastal infrastructure and emergency management; and transportation security.
The University of Hawaiʻi helps develop strategies to assist state, county, and federal first responders prepare, prevent and respond to manmade disasters like a terrorist attack or natural disasters such as a hurricane or tsunami.
"The University of Hawaii is a leader in the development of natural disaster training, in particular disaster response and recovery and the construction of resilient communities. Training is ongoing, not only in Hawaii, but in the U.S. territories in the Pacific. Hawaii's isolated location in the middle of the Pacific means we have to protect our residents and visitors from a wide array of threats. Our first responders must prepare for and deal with a unique set of challenges faced only by island communities surrounded by the sea. Our experience with these disasters allowed us to develop innovative strategies and training models for use around the world. I am very pleased that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security recognizes The University of Hawaiʻi's expertise and is working to fund initiatives that keep communities safe," said Senator Inouye.
"The better prepared we are to respond to a disaster; the more likely we are to recover quickly. Hawai'i will benefit from this important funding to prepare first responders in disaster management," said Senator Akaka, a senior member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
"The safety and security of our citizens is our country's top priority," said Congresswoman Colleen Hanabusa, member of the House Armed Services Committee. "Because of Hawaiʻi's location in the Pacific, it is vital our emergency first responders and local officials are ready to respond, and prepared to help our communities recover from any type of disaster. I am pleased the Department of Homeland Security is awarding these grants to support these critical training programs."

As luck would have it, my local butcher shop had rib eye steaks on sale. I wanted to treat my husband to a special dinner to honor him for being such a great step dad to my son. My hubs likes rib eye steak, and my son had never experienced it.
This meal took over an hour, with prep work. However, it's worth every bit of it. The first thing to start are the potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 350F and caramelize thinly cut onion in some olive oil for about 15 minutes-- my mandolin works great for this recipe. In the meantime, I sliced potatoes really thin and evenly (the mandolin makes this easy) and added salt & pepper. Once the onions were cooked, I decided to switch pans since this would go into the oven.
The onions are added to the potatoes and seasoned with a bit more salt & pepper, then placed into the skillet. NOTE: I added one more clove of minced garlic, since some reviews said this dish tasted bland. I added a few dots of butter and put parchment paper on top, drizzled with olive oil so that it wouldn't burn.
Into the oven for 45 minutes... and on to the next dish:
For the Swiss chard-- I love the color of Swiss (or rainbow) chard. It's so pretty! Don't these look like arteries?
I discovered this wonderful green when it showed up in my CSA box at the beginning of spring. If you've never had Swiss chard, it's worth a taste. It's related to the beet. I think it tastes very similar to spinach, which I love. I made some delicious chicken enchiladas swiss chard with these, the first time I played with them. With this recipe, I messed up with Tyler's instructions by blanching the swiss chard whole (after removing the pretty red stems). No worries-- I put them into an ice bath after a few minutes. I figured I'd chop them afterward.
Tyler says to drain the Swiss chard and let it air dry. I have a trick, up my sleeve, that works really well for me.
Meet Mr. Potato Ricer. I think this is less labor intensive than squeezing the water out with a towel-- it's also less laundry to worry about. Of course, I use this for ricing sweet potatoes, and mashing ripe bananas...but that's another recipe. I chopped the swiss chard and then squeezed out the excess water and set it aside-- wishing I had made more. I wasn't sure if my son would like it, though.
Now, for the cream sauce for the Swiss chard. This, ladies and gentleman, was the highlight as far as I am concerned. I cut the cream sauce in half, using only one cup of heavy cream. For you calorie counters, I don't think fat-free milk would work. I figured I'd eat a small portion. So, I added bay leaves, two garlic cloves, fresh rosemary and thyme (from my garden) and let that slowly simmer-- like for 30 minutes. Don't boil it! Just keep it at a low simmer and it did thicken up. My whole kitchen smelled "herby" and "garlicky" and I was getting very hungry.
Next, I brought out my trusty cast iron skillet. (I really do need to buy a bigger one.) I only had room for 2 rib eye steaks, but I decided that hubby and I would split one. We like red meat, but we try not to overdo it. I liked that Tyler added olive oil to the skillet and then tossed in fresh rosemary and thyme. It crackles, which made my getting really close for a good photo a little intimidating.
I removed the thyme and rosemary onto a paper towel (for a garnish) and seared the rib eyes on both sides.
Perfect! Into the oven at 350F for about 12 minutes. It depends on the thickness of the steak and your oven.
While the steak was cooking, I melted olive oil, butter, thyme, rosemary and garlic slices into a pan-- then added about a cup of panko crumbs. OMG! This rocks!
By now, my boys are sniffing the air. I'm so looking forward to this meal and I can't wait to have the big "ta-da" with my potato tart.
I lifted the parchment paper... mmmmm. Next, I put a plate on top and inverted it...
Nothing! It didn't stick-- in fact, I think there was a little too much olive oil. No worries-- I blotted away the olive oil and plated this from the skillet.
I decided to strain the herbs and garlic from the infused heavy cream. I added the Swiss chard to the cream sauce and heated this on a low heat. I'm ready to put this all together.
Like Tyler did, I plated this meal by piling a little Swiss chard, then the panko crumbs. The potatoes were still very tasty looking. We loved it! This meal has so many flavors going on-- the texture of the panko crumbs, the creaminess of the swiss chard and the tender cut of rib eye. My son didn't like the Swiss chard, but at least he tried it. (He's still bonding with green vegetables.)
This is a 5 star meal, Tyler. It uses a lot of pots and pans, but it's worthy of entertaining company with. The total cost of this meal was less than $30.00, since I only used two of the steaks. The third one is frozen for something else. Yummy!
This week, I've made filet of beef au poivre, beef stroganoff and this rib eye dinner. I think it's time to focus on some fish, vegetarian and poultry for a change, don't you think? We don't always eat this way, though I could get used to it.

HELLO: Carter and Ainsley (CO 2031)
Two (hopefully) deep sleeper recruits to report here:
Carter Lee Nimmo, weighing 6 pounds, 2 ounces and measuring 19 inches was born a Michigan Man Wednesday morning in Columbus, Ohio. Despite a zero inch vertical leap, apparently strong lungs, he is already showing remarkably strong hands. He does seem to have a predisposition against the cold, which he will have to learn to deal with. He has lost a little over 10% of his body weight, but is on a regimented plan to put on additional weight.
Ainsley Mattox Nimmo, born just 3 minutes after Carter has apparently spent time in the gym since her last measurement. Weighing 6 pounds 6 ounces, she has grown to 18 inches. She too is now on a plan to add additional weight before leaving the hospital. Not the vocal leader Carter is, she leads by example and is clearly an example of a wolverine woman.
Their father is so proud, and is incredibly anticipatory of a scholarship offer for the 2031 tennis team. We all know that hello posts come in pairs!! Father plans to prepare them by daily readings from MGoBlog, and a conceted effort to avoid the inevitable brainwashing of the million plus people around them.
In a show of support for her husband, their mother worked around the clock to finish their hats in time for the HELLO post; Unfortunately neither mother nor father were prepared for the chaos of National Signing Day. 2 days later, and a total of 4 hours of sleep, please excuse any malformed grammar or spelling.
APGAR Ratings:
FAKE 40 TIME(s):
Ainsley has downed a .40 oz of (supplemental) formula in 3.5 minutes.
Carter has downed a .40 oz of (supplemental) formula in 4.2 minutes.
