I teach the Alexander Technique, a method of self care and movement education that begins with the mind. My studio is located in Southington, CT, USA and private lessons are available by appointment.
I work with individuals who are seeking to improve their daily living experience. Many wish to find freedom from chronic pain, tension and anxiety. I also work with performing artists who seek a method to improve their skills as an artist.
Please contact me today to get started. I look forward to hearing from you!
Through Alexander Technique lessons Heather helped me to overcome neck pain I was having as a result of improper use of my body during long hours of piano practicing. More recently, she has helped me overcome some lower back issues I was having as a result of the bending, lifting, and carrying that comes with being a mom to a very active baby! Heather has a naturally calming presence about her and is a joy to be around. She is a patient teacher who possesses an incredible facility to present information in a relatable manner.Because of her effectiveness as a teacher, I invited Heather to work with some of my piano students on a one-on-one basis and watched as relaxed breathing, ease, and beautiful, stress-free postures emerged from my students' bodies. It is such a joy to see students overcome struggles and be able to create more beautiful sounds at the piano. Heather teaches principles of the Alexander Technique in a clear, illustrative, and gentle way. It is clear that she is passionate about this art, implements it into her daily living, and has a genuine love for helping others. I will continue to have Heather work with my students, both present and future, because she has had such a profound effect on those she has worked with already! I am so thankful!~Tara Lesco, piano instructor, Wallingford, CT

Thank you for the correction. I would appreciate more information on your Cutts line. You can send it directly to me at firstname.lastname@example.com . I have information on many Cutts lines after "The Cutts Family in America" was published in 1892.
I also have quite a few Cutts family pictures and pictures of painted portraits that have been sent to me over the years. Please let me know if you are interested.

Introduction to Psychology PSY101
Behavior Modification
A therapeutic/intervention strategy used for modifying behavior in such a manner that the frequency of
desired behavior is increased up to the optimal level, and the frequency of undesired behavior is brought
down to the minimum...or to extinction level.
The intervention is based upon the principles of learning, specifically shaping.
Steps in Behavior Modification
· Identification of goals in terms of target behavior.
· Designing the intervention, issues involved and deciding its components.
· Implementation of the planned program as well as careful monitoring.
· Successive approximations of a required/-desired response are reinforced until that response is fully
· In the beginning each and every success is reinforced with a reward, no matter how small the success.
· Once the desired response is learnt the reinforcer immediately follows it, every time it happens.
· Once learnt the behavior, in many cases, the organism may not need reinforcement since many
behaviors are self-reinforcing e.g. learning to play a musical instrument.
Usefulness of Behavior Therapy
Found to be effective with 50-90% of patients especially treating phobias, anxiety disorder and
other unwanted behaviors such as smoking and drug abuse.
Also helpful in the sense that it cal also be employed by non- professionals too.
Cheap and economical as it directly focused on the problem to be unlearn.
·Criticized also because it also give importance to the overt observable behavior and does not evaluate the
inner thoughts and experiences.
Cognitive Approach in Behavior Modification
Negative and unacceptable behavior is modified through constructive strategies
According to this theory, person's beliefs and attitudes affect his motivation and behavior.
In order to modify the behavior, reinforcement techniques are used.
For attaining the desired goal, realistic strategies are used with continuous feedback.
Steps in Behavior Modification
Identification of goals in terms of target behavior;
Recording the preliminary/background information concerning the behavior in question;
Designing the intervention, issues involved and deciding its components.
Implementation of the planned program as well as careful monitoring.
Recording the events, progress, and problems during the implementation phase
Evaluating the program and making alterations if required.
Altering the Belief System
· Psychologists are of the view that psychological problems arise due to the way people perceive
themselves in relation with the people they interact.
Main focus of the therapist is to alter the irrational belief system of a person.
Introduction to Psychology PSY101
Cognitive Theory for Depression
Aaron Beck formulated the therapy for depression patients.
Therapist helps the depressive person to change the faulty patterns of thinking through
problem- solving techniques.
Believed that depression reoccur in depressive patients because the negative thoughts occur
automatically from which they are unaware.
Four tactics are used by the therapist that unfounded depression
i. Challenging the patient's ill beliefs.
ii. Evaluating the cause of depression.
iii. Attributing the cause to the environmental situation/ event not to the person's in competencies.
iv. Finding the alternative and effective solutions for the complex problems.
Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy
Developed by Albert Ellis (1962, 1977)
Focused on altering the irrational beliefs into more acceptable way.
Clients are forbidden to use "should", "must"," ought" etc.
Confrontation techniques are used which focused on changing the attitudes through rational
· Task is to protect the self worth, potential to be self-actualized by blocking the irrational thinking
Humanistic Therapies
Central Themes of Humanistic Approach
· Human beings are capable of shaping their own destiny.
· They can think and design their course of action and can follow it in the way they like
· People can overcome or minimize the environmental, and intrinsic influences.
· "Here and now" is important.
· "Wholeness" or "completeness" of the personality is important rather than its separate, disintegrated,
structural parts.
Humanistic approach emphasizes
· Individual's freedom in directing his future.
· Capacity for personal growth.
· Intrinsic worth, and,
· Potential for self-fulfillment.
Rogers' Approach
· Primarily a clinical theory, based on years of Roger's experience dealing with his clients.
· In its richness and maturity his theory matches that of Freud; a theory well thought-out and logical,
having broad application.
· The theory emphasizes on a single factor "force of life" which he calls the actualizing tendency i.e. built-
in motivation present in every life form to develop its potentials to the fullest extent possible.
To be fully functioning means experiencing:
i. Optimal psychological adjustment.
ii. Optimal psychological maturity.
iii. Complete congruence (a feeling of integration when the self and the ideal self match;
incongruence is a feeling of conflict or unease experienced in case of a mismatch between the two).
iv. Complete openness to experience. Humanistic Approaches to Therapy
· The approach suggesting that people are in control of their life.
· The person or the self, and personal growth and development are emphasized by the humanistic
· The humanistic approach includes a number of other theories with the same or similar
Introduction to Psychology PSY101
orientation e.g., `existential' and `phenomenological' psychology.
· Rogers maintained that the therapist must possess the following qualities:
i. Congruence -- genuineness, honesty with the client.
ii. Empathy -- the ability to feel what the client feels.
iii. Respect -- acceptance, unconditional positive regard towards the client
Carl Roger's Psychotherapy
· Carl Rogers is best known for his contributions to therapy known as "person- centered/ Client-
centered therapy/ Non- directive therapy.
· Also known as the Rogerian Therapy".
· His main technique "Reflection"__ mirroring of emotional experiences.
· Therapy in which the therapist's role is to reflect back the patient' statement in such a manner
that the patient finds solutions to his/ her problems.
· Aim of the therapy: To help a person grow and self-actualize.
Other Approaches
Existential Therapy
Contrary to humanistic approach to therapy that focuses on unique freedom and potential as
positive force, existential therapy is based on the notion that when an individual becomes
unable to deal with his/ her freedom, it will result in anguish, fear, and concern.
The goal of life, according to this therapy is to properly grip and use one's freedom effectively
with value systems one has in his/ her life.
Therapy also focuses on the individual's responsibilities that he must take in order to make free
choices about his lives.
Therapist's job is to probe and challenge the patient's views of the world around.
In the same way, a strong bond is developed between the patient and the therapist so that the
patient feels comfortable while interacting. Also both are experiencing the same difficulties and
Gestalt Therapy
The Gestalt therapy focuses on integrating the patient's thoughts and feelings into an integrate
This can be done through by placing oneself in that position as mother or father and then his/
her own position in order to experience different parts of a conflict.
The aim of the therapy is to express whatever is frustrating and conflicting to the person such
as kicking the things around when angry, yelling out while frustration etc
This sort of activities encouraged the person to act out/ express the things that are conflicting
and frustrating.
Group Therapy
A form of therapy in which people discuss problems and difficulties with the group members.
Several unrelated people work with the therapist and discuss their psychological problems with
him; in some cases the therapist is active and directed towards the problem and sometimes the
group takes up an issue and determines how to proceed.
People often discuss issues like smoking, alcoholism, or lacking social skills.
·The other members of the group provide emotional support and suggestions so that the it can also be
helpful to them in similar circumstances.
Introduction to Psychology PSY101
Family Therapy
The therapy, which involves members of the family for finding solutions to problems.
Therapist considers family members as a unit in which each member serves as a contributor in
order to gain an understanding of " how" they interact with one another.
Family therapists believe that problems arise in the family due to the rigid roles and
conventions exhibited by the family and the solution of their problems lies in adopting new and
constructive roles and patterns of behavior.

Supraclavicular brachial plexus block
Introductory Remark
The supraclavicular block in particular has experienced a renaissance in European countries with the increasing prevalence of modern ultrasonographic devices in the field of peripheral regional anaesthesia. This has to do on the one hand with undeniable block quality, but above all with the dramatic, parallel reduction in risk profile of this method due to its direct visualization of delicate structures like the pleura and the subclavian artery. When applying a supraclavicular plexus block, the clavicula serves as a "yardstick" for the probe. When the latter is swung at the posterior edge of the insertion of the sterocleidomastoid muscle towards the thorax or mediastinum, the viewer observes in most cases a characteristic cross-section through the brachial plexus and the structures surrounding it; the parts of the plexus – here the transitions of the trunks to the fascicles – are seen as a clustered formation lying dorsolateral to the subclavian artery. Directly below the vessel, the first rib dominates as a hyperechogenic (white) line in which ultrasound is dorsally extinguished. Standing out against this in the shape of a step, the pleura is likewise recognizable as a fine white line and is thus easily avoided during puncture.
The Technique
At our institution we prefer to use the supraclavicular plexus block on the long axis and from a dorsolateral direction. A very important prerequisite of this technique is visualization of the complete needle shaft. In order to achieve complete anaesthesia of the plexus, irrigation of the deeper-lying parts is of decisive importance. They often lie directly against the first rib. After application of an initial dose of local anaesthetic in this area, the needle is retracted, and a further deposit can then be administered around the superior part of the "nerve cluster".
Sonoanatomic Landmarks
Anterior and medial scalene muscles, subclavian artery, 1st rib, pleura

While the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II update is currently unavailable, the carrier says that it will become available again soon.
In a statement today, AT&T stated that it was testing the update on its servers and that was the reason that the update was available for a moment and then vanished. The carrier did not mention the fact that Samsung Kies, the software that AT&T and Samsung are using to push the update, is currently undergoing maintenance today.
It's possible that the two are related but if so, the carrier isn't saying.
Here is AT&T's full statement in regards to the delayed Galaxy S II update:
We plan for the upgrade to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for Galaxy S II customers to be live very soon. Like with every OS update, we test it on our servers before we roll it out to customers. We're in the process of doing that with Android 4.0 (ICS) for Galaxy S II customers and hope to make that live soon. We recommend customers wait to attempt the update.
So, it appears that the Galaxy S II Ice Cream Sandwich update will become available again "soon." Unfortunately, this is an American carrier and their definition of soon often does not match up with the regular definition of the word.
Hopefully, AT&T stays true to its word and releases the update to anxious AT&T Galaxy S II owners in the near future.
The update originally became available through Samsung Kies yesterday with several owners confirming that the update was available. However, it soon became apparent that something was up because several other owners let us know that the update was no longer accessible through Samsung's software.
It seems like there is always something with a major Android update isn't there? They never seem to roll out smoothly when they finally do decide to roll out.
In any event, stay patient AT&T Galaxy S II owners. It'll be back soon. We hope.

Bruno's Life-Saving Pet Insurance Story
I have to add my comments to the many who have thanked you for your service. My pit bull Bruno had a simple case of indigestion. As dogs do when they have tummy aches, he started eating grass. But grass turned into bushes, which turned into twigs, and then branches. The more vegetation he ate, the sicker he felt, and the more he ate. Bruno is the kind of dog who is always at the door to happily greet me when I come home from work. So when he wasn't there one day, I knew something was wrong. I eventually found him lying underneath a bush, unable to get up. I took him to an Emergency Veterinary Clinic where I was informed of what was wrong.. Both openings of his stomach had been blocked by the twigs and other indigestible matter he had eaten. Efforts to try to pass the vegetation through his system were not successful and I was told he could only survive with surgery.
I never would have realized the amount of relief I could have felt knowing that I had insured my dog. This news would have been devastating to me if I did not have help to pay for the cost of his surgery. At over $3,000, the cost would not only have wiped out my savings, but forced me into more debt than I could manage right now. But to think of losing this wonderful, trusting, and loving companion over financial hardship was equally unthinkable.
Fortunately, that difficult choice did not have to be made because Trupanion delivered completely and quickly on all the promises they make about their coverage. My claim was handled by a wonderful adjuster who communicated with me regularly, was friendly, professional and completely reassuring.
Bruno is fully recovered now, and back to being the happy dog he always was. I wouldn't even consider owning a companion animal anymore without medical insurance coverage for them, and I will be adding my newest dog to my policy soon.
Thank you again Trupanion, for everything you've done for our family.
Virginia W. (and Bruno)

Move Along, Nothing to See Here
There's something about insubstantial art that invites the viewer to fill in the blanks. In my case, I fill them in with, "Why am I trying to envision what the art is supposed to be?! Isn't that what the artist is supposed to be doing for me?!" Haha, yes, I've been had again. The other one is supplying Chopsticks instead of a piano concerto. So there's another part of the art riddle for you: art ... is in ... the arrangement!

Communing with the Spirits
Ambient music is good for that. Listening to the muses. Music. Amusing. The Muse. Spirits.
My favourite amusing lyrics from pop music:
"Nothing came easy, nothing came free, nothing came at all until they... came after me!" - hmmm, then something came alright.
"What I choose... is my choice!" - haha, for a moment there, I thought I was actually getting something - Oh, I dunno, a pearl of wisdom, or something like that.
In a sense, when you appreciate the work of artists and composers who have passed away, you are communing with their spirits.

TRENTON – The Assembly approved legislation to increase the fines associated with failure to properly secure a child in a car or booster seat.
"Car accidents are the single biggest killer of children under 12 in our country," said Assemblyman Jerry Green (D-Union). "That is an awful statistic, made all the more terrible by the fact that almost half of the deaths could be prevented with proper car seat use. Significantly increasing the penalties associated with failure to use car seats will help drive this point home and prevent needless deaths."
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), car crashes are the number one killer of children between one and 12 years of age in the U.S. In 2010, NHTSA data showed an average of two children killed and 325 injured each day in car accidents. Properly securing infants and toddlers reduces their chance of fatal injury by 71 percent and 54 percent, respectively.
The measure (A-1711) would increase the penalties for motor vehicle operators who fail to secure a child under the age of eight and weighing less than 80 pounds in a child passenger restraint system or booster seat.
The current penalty is between $10 and $25 per incident. Under the bill, these penalties would be increased to $100 for a first offense and between $250 to $500 for a second and subsequent offenses. A judge would have the option to waive the penalty for a first offense if the driver is able to demonstrate that he or she is in possession of a proper child passenger restraint system.
The bill also would establish a "Division of Highway Traffic Safety Child Passenger Restraint System Assistance Fund," administered by the state Treasury Department, that would receive $25 from each fine, to be used to purchase child safety seats for individuals and organizations that need them.
The measure was approved 63-16 by the Assembly last week and now awaits further consideration by the Senate.

Shingles pain starts 4 days before the rash appears.
The pain will be in one limb or on one side of the trunk (chest or abdomen.) I have never seen it on two sides at once, but see dermnetnz.org, where you can see good pictures as well.
You can test yourself with a pin during these 4 days before the rash appears, to check for this condition. Compare the area of the pain with the same area on your other side.
The skin in the area of the pain may have reduced sensation to a light prick, and increased pain from a firmer prick.
Initially just draw the pin quickly over a larger area, including on either side of the area of pain. See if the sensation is varying anywhere.
The rash consists of multiple groups of tiny blisters, in a band around one side of the trunk, or down a limb or over the head.
As well as having pain and rash, people with shingles often feel generally unwell and have headache.
" Herpes Zoster 30 - 45gm intravenously at once gives immediate relief of pain and itch, in severe cases. Follow with 1 teaspoon (4 gm) 2-hourly. No superinfection nor post-herpetic neuralgia seen."
I was using 7.5 to 15 gm.
It is possible that there may be some advantage in using both together. It makes sense to me, to give added nutritional supplies, when the nerve is in trouble.
I believe vitamin injections are definitely still useful.
In the early stages, intramuscular vitamin B12 2000mcg, is very valuable for rapid pain relief, even when antiviral drug treatment is used.
This may be repeated 2 or 3 times, as needed.
Herbal remedies are recommended on various sites. A naturopath patient of mine advises black walnut (orally) for herpes zoster ophthalmicus, to protect the eye.
Fresh plant extracts (topically) of Lemon balm and Marigold, have been advised.
An extensive list of all sorts of treatments is at an unlikely sounding site³
Post herpetic neuralgia
When pain persists after the rash subsides, injections of high dose B complex are definitely of some use, in my experience.
I also use a multivitamin infusion called Cernevit, which is more complete, being designed for intravenous alimentation.
Nothing is a guaranteed cure for this condition, and one just tries all the options.
Skilled acupuncture treatment often helps, provided it is in the first six months after the rash.
I have the distinct impression that one reason people get shingles is an osteopathic lesion in the spine at that level. This probably explains stories of pain for weeks before the rash.
I also have the distinct impression that treating such lesions can help relieve persisting pain after shingles. This is not really shingles pain any more.
In some cases, shingles may be set off by pressure on the nerve roots, by radiotherapy at the level of the affected nerve root or by spinal surgery.
General immune deficiency may have predisposed to this attack of shingles, and need treatment in its own right ( which would depend on the cause.)
Reduced specific immunity to VZ virus is probably contributing to the increasing incidence of shingles. Childhood vaccination is preventing wild virus infections, so later its waning effect and the reduced exposure to the wild virus is reducing older adults protection.
Homeopathy is prescribed after an overall assessment, rather than based only on the presenting complaint.
Staphylococcinum, Croton tig, Ramunculus bulbosus, arsenicum album, Daphne mezereum, Kali phos and Rhus tox have all been recommended.
Louise Hay¹ is very often right on the money, with her spiritual causes of various ilnesses. For shingles she tells of "Waiting for the other shoe to drop,"² fear and tension, too sensitive.
Erysipelas is a red, swollen and painful rash caused by the Streptococcus germ, and needing penicillin quickly. Otherwise it spreads rapidly and makes one quite ill.
It has a sharp, raised edge and looks a bit like orange peel.
Erysipeloid is similar, not as dramatic, caused by a different germ caught from handling fish or meat.
Urticarial vasculitis is hive like rash caused by immune system mediated damage to blood vessels in our skin.
Hives or giant hives are itchy red spots or areas, often with a raised white spot in the center. These appear and go away within hours, leaving no trace.
The spots in urticarial vasculitis are painful, last more than 24 hours and leave a faint bruise. They can be connected with disease of internal organs. There may be numbness of the lesions as well as the pain, due to the vasculitis damaging local nerves.
Hand foot and mouth disease is tender spots in all those places, lasting up to a week. This is a common virus infection. The foot below belongs to one of my patients. He caught it from his child (the rash, not the foot.)
Delayed pressure urticaria can be painful as well.
The swellings come on feet, hands, waist etc, about 4 hours after pressure.
They last a couple of days.

Shingles over the forehead and side of the nose can affect that eye very badly, so it is called herpes zoster ophthalmicus (re eye.)
Keeping people alive with only intravenous nutrition is vastly inferior to by mouth, but sometimes essential. It is called intravenous alimentation or total parenteral nutrition.

Perry at Orange
What: CVC Chagrin Division game
When: 7 p.m., Oct. 13
Where: Lion Stadium
Last year: Perry def. Orange, 52-27
Last week: Perry def. Geneva, 35-23, Orange def. West Geauga, 27-20
Records: Perry 7-0 (4-0 CVC), Orange 6-1 (4-0 CVC)
For the record: The Pirates and Lions will vie for CVC Chagrin supremacy in this game. Perry, the second-ranked Division IV team in Ohio, can put itself in the driver's seat with a win, while Orange, which topped another contender West Geauga last week, is lined up to do the same. ... Orange is very dangerous offensively, with dual-threat QB Sean Borgman, RB Jake Sonkin and slick receiver Marvin Davies IV able to take any play to the end zone. This is probably the best, most versatile offense the Pirates have faced all year. ... The same can be said for Orange's defense, which hasn't seen anything skill-set wise like what they will see against Perry. QB Kolston Brewster is the area leader in passing (1,651) and touchdown passes (20). Jaylen Anderson (509 rushing, 342 receiving) is likely the best dual-threat back in the area, and the receivers on the outside are electric. ... The game could be an offensive shootout. That might be Orange's best chance of winning. Whoever wins is in the driver's seat in the league and will likely all but clinch a playoff berth. This will be a fun one to watch.

text: I have talked about Streuter before. They make a fantastic line of adhesives that really improve the quality of the lives of glass artists. I'm using the fusing adhesive this evening on some projects I'm about to cook up in the kiln. Their No Days heat activated mosaic adhesive has changed how I feel about doing mosaics. Used to think it was too time consuming, I'm quite fond of quick crafts. No Days makes it happen now! Love it. So they schedule No Days Road Shows at stores across the country and I'm lucky enough to have them coming in June. June 11th to be exact. So cool. But there's also one in Ohio next weekend and one scheduled in New Hampshire for June 18th. Check to see if one's coming to your neck of the woods. And if you're in the LA area June 11th come to my Road Show for some mosaic good times!!

The Sid the Science Kid - Weather Kid Sid DVD is a new favorite at our house.
"Rain, rain, go away; Sid the Science Kid™ wants to play! Sid's not too happy when rain threatens to squash his play date outside. But the more Sid learns about the rain, the more he understands how important precipitation is. In fact Sid is learning about all kinds of weather patterns and how it affects our world. At school Sid studies the sun and how it lights up our world. At home, Sid's family visits relatives where it's really chilly. Brrrr! It's cold in here… Sid hits the science lab to discover that wind, rain and sun can be fascinating and fun!"
Just like every other Sid show, Evan thoroughly enjoyed watching it. He giggled along with Sid and his friends as they learned about the weather. Sid is always wondering about things and he later figures them out in his science themed classroom.
I actually enjoy watching Sid The Science Kid with Evan so we can discuss what is happening in the DVD. I am always amazed at how much my 3 year old absorbs from this show. I would definitely recommend it to any parent with preschool age(and older) children.
This was not a paid post and honest opinions were used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others. Thank you to the company and/or pr agency who supplied the product for the review.

Fast Market Research recommends "Apparel and Footwear Specialist Retailers in Germany" from Euromonitor International, now available
Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/23/2014 -- 2013, just like the previous year, presented a challenge to apparel specialist retailers. A very late and harsh winter followed by a snowy, rainy and cold spring prevented many people from visiting stores or being in the mood for shopping at all. Thus, the year began rather slowly in terms of sales for most apparel retailers, hitting smaller or independent stores especially hard. Less affected by the weather was the online channel, which benefited from consumers being able to make purchases from the comfort of their own homes. Nonetheless sales in 2013 could have been stronger if consumers had been more motivated to shop.

In 1877, the family of the state's first millionaire, Hercules Dousman, brought a magnificent Steinway & Sons Centennial grand piano to their elegant Villa Louis estate in Prairie du Chien. The instrument will soon be heard for the first time since the 1980s.
Today the mansion is a museum operated by the Wisconsin Historical Society. As for the piano, "it was really played to death, just worn out," says Tim Farley, owner of Farley's House of Pianos in Madison.
But no longer. Farley and his team recently spent months restoring the Centennial grand. The name refers to the model's introduction at the 1876 U.S. Centennial International Exhibition in Philadelphia.
Before returning to the Villa Louis, it will be showcased in Madison with the Farley firm's own Centennial Grand on June 29. Wisconsin Public Television is preparing a documentary about the restoration and rare concert, performed by Stanislava Varshavski and Diana Shapiro.
"It was introduced by Steinway as their new orchestral grand piano," says Farley. "The significance is that the modern piano has a very smooth sound from the lowest note to the highest note. But when Steinway said 'orchestral,' that meant it had different registration qualities to the different areas of the piano that emulated the orchestra."
The first concert (now sold out) will be held at 7:30 p.m. on June 29 at Farley's House of Pianos, 6522 Seybold Rd. A lecture-demonstration showcasing the restoration will take place at 7 p.m. A second concert has been added on July 1 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $30 and benefit a performance and scholarship fund. They're available at Farley's and Orange Tree Imports, and by calling 608-271-2626.

The Madison Parks Division recently hailed its new "adopt-an-ice-rink" program as a huge success (see Madison.gov, 11/4/10). But those claims were quickly criticized as not being the whole story.
"The Westmorland rink was fantastic. It went extremely well," says Bill Provencher, a lifelong skater. "The ice was better there than it's ever been in the 20 years I've been skating on it. I hesitate to say this because I don't want everyone to come there."
But at other rinks, he says, the ice quality has suffered.
The adopt-a-rink program was started last year to stave off possible rink closures by getting volunteers to help with maintenance. Provencher says the program has succeeded at rinks where an organized neighborhood association stepped up to help, in part because the groups were trained on how to spray down the ice and given equipment.
But at other rinks, where maintenance fell to a hodgepodge of volunteers, the program has been less successful. "My sense is people step forward on these rinks and shovel off a couple of inches of snow," says Provencher, "but they're not much better for it, because the city is responsible for hosing them off, and the city doesn't hose at night."
Laura Whitmore, spokeswoman for the Parks Division, agrees the Westmorland rink was extremely successful, and says the city hopes to use that model at other rinks, including at Olbrich Park and the city's two new rinks, at Nakoma and Heritage Heights.
Two meetings will be held next week on the city's volunteer program. Those interested in volunteering at rinks on the city's west side should go to the Goodman Park maintenance facility, 1402 Wingra Creek Parkway, on Dec. 9 at 7 p.m.; those interested in any east-side parks should go to the Messiah Lutheran Church, 5202 Cottage Grove Rd., on Dec. 13 at 7 p.m.

Whereas Moonshadows featured a many of famous patron performers, such as Bennie Maupin too Patrice Rushen, Spellbound countenances a strip consisting of comparatively foreign vocalists: Kevin Shireve (guitars), Clyde Criner (keyboards), also David Igelfeld (barrels plus collision), along Caress Bondage adding any guitar alones to any roads. The register is a fantastic showcase for Johnson's singer playing, alternating amid soloing ("Rovers"), escort singer ("Clad Blaster"), further auxiliary duties. The stripe rescues a truly strong deed, although they never experience as ample publicity. For total of Johnson's technical brilliance, he appears to be again worried among the psalms itself moreover their respective characters, granted, plus so he stops himself exactly frequent from showing eccentric, which benefits a many. Most of the slots are jive-rock expositions somewhere amid Exotic Fighter besides Sprite, however there are a assemble of poems added for decorous mete. On four outings, Johnson also yodels, also though he has a somewhat ineffectual (though fine) utter, it indeed adapts the chants really well: still the faster articles on this tally always preserve a hushed quality of blues, besides Johnson's merciful expression furthermore anomalous melodies strengthen to the beauty. The reflective "Moonlight Parleys" is a stone, stretch the six-half "Earthtales Apartment" indicates the master's purposes, as it ambits from hardly traditional marks (hellos bent voice playing virtually passes as a intact cord parcel) to synth hullabaloo effortlessly. Really, the undivided book processs as a series, essentially as the hindmost trail reprises the initial single, furthermore whereas it is hardly a obligation-have, it finally reads target besides novelty.

Genre: Rock
|Christmas Wrapping
|I Know What Boys Like
|I Could Rule The World
The Waitresses were an experimental New Wave band from Akron, Ohio. The group was led by guitarist/songwriter Chris Butler with lead vocals performed by Patty Donahue.
They had minor success in the United States with the song "I Know What Boys Like", from their 1982 debut album Wasn't Tomorrow Wonderful. "I Know What Boys Like" was originally released as a single in 1980 but did not chart initially. The song was an underground hit, however, and by 1982 it peaked at No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 23 on Billboard's Top Tracks chart, No. 14 on the Australian Singles Chart (Kent Music Report), and also charted in the UK.

TEPCO has admitted the meltdowns were a man-made disaster by failing to improve safety and fiddling the books to state they were done. They have now also admitted they attempted to cover up the severity of the meltdowns exposing thousand of people to excessive doses of radiation. They have wasted billions of yen trying to dismantle the damaged reactors and thousand of tons of radioactive water is leeching into the sea every week. They have failed in nearly every attempt to stop the water leeching. They have nearly a thousand tanks of highly radioactive water stored at the plant in tanks that were only designed to last five years, none of which are 'tsunami safe'. They have the yakuza controlling the contractors at the plant and scalping cash from the workers and the government. They have also refused all offers of help from international experts because they don't want the world to know what is actually going on in Fukushima. And, nobody is facing any criminal charges what-so-ever!
A pay cut is not an adequate punishment for TEPCO's President covering up the meltdown of three nuclear reactors. For committing a breach of trust of this magnitude the punishment should be most more severe. I believe that TEPCO's President should not only lose his job but should face a significant financial penalty.
The top executives at TEPCO should be held accountable for the company lying about the Fukushima meltdown in 2011. A pay cut is not adequate punishment for the company's president. He should face some be fired by the company, and face some criminal prosecution for the cover up. The meltdown was a major disaster that impacted many. The president should face a more severe punishment for his involvement in the cover up.
The report says TEPCO's then-President Masataka Shimizu's instruction delayed full disclosure of the plant's status to the public, even as people who lived near the plant were forced to leave their homes, some of them possibly unable to return permanently, due to the radiation leaks from the plant.

Riddle Lake Trail is a 4.7 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming that features a lake and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from May until September.
kid friendly
nature trips
trail running
wild flowers
washed out
no dogs
Directions from Grant Village Intersection: Travel approximately 3 miles south, immediately south of the Continental Divide sign.
An easy hike with some great views. I would not wade into the lake again, though. The leeches were terrible in the summer of 2017.
This trail provides a nice and easy hike with breathtaking views! Caught some nice cutthroat trout in Riddle Lake as a bonus! Highly recommend this trail. Don't forget your bear spray as this is a bear management area through mid-July.
Beautiful and very peaceful.
Very lovely little lake, with pond lilies on it. The riddle is what side of the Continental Divide the lake is on. The answer to the riddle is Solution Creek, which flows north into Yellowstone Lake, which is on the Atlantic side of the Divide, even though the trailhead is on the Pacific side of the Divide.

RedNet is Focusrite's flagship range of modular Ethernet–networked audio interfaces that harnesses the power of Audinate's tried and tested Dante digital audio networking system. Ideal for use in educational environments, RedNet brings superb studio grade Focusrite analogue and digital I/O and next-generation Focusrite remote controlled preamps to Dante's robust and reliable digital audio network - providing a scalable, near zero latency audio distribution system that is fully Pro Tools|HD and MADI compatible.
RedNet has been widely adopted in the educational environment, with leading establishments such as the University of Derby in the UK finding it particularly appropriate for the diverse and extensive needs typically encountered in education.
RedNet allows you to build appropriate installations on the fly, combining interfaces as and where they are required and making the best use of limited resources to cover increasingly diverse educational needs. Place the appropriate RedNet interfaces in any room in your facility that has a standard Ethernet port, plug the units into a Gigabit switch, plug that into the wall and you're done. Interfaces are remotely-controlled from the computer and students can take advantage of the full range of studio equipment in the control room as well as utilising any sonic space in the building with an Ethernet port. Record and distribute audio from and to performance areas, rehearsal rooms or any other room with a standard Ethernet port.
In the past, setting up a recording environment meant linking control rooms with dedicated studio areas via expensive, bulky and hard-to-install multiway cables or by lugging an entire mobile recording system into the performance area. With RedNet all that's required is an Ethernet path between the control room and the room you want to record in – and increasingly, Ethernet is already installed throughout facilities, meaning set-ups are incredibly quick and easy.
Combining Focusrite's enviable reputation for high-quality microphone preamps and precision digital audio conversion with the high-speed Dante Ethernet audio networking system, RedNet is the audio interface solution for a sound education.

Part Time JD Program
A maximum of five persons may be admitted on a part-time basis to the first-year JD degree program in each admissions cycle. Such applicants must meet the admissions standards required of applicants for full-time study and are assessed for admission using the same criteria. The Admissions Committee will consider the reasons provided for studying on a part-time basis and the competitive strength of the application in the category of admission claimed. Applicants accepted as part-time students are expected to complete the JD degree program within six years. The JD program is not offered by distance education and it is not recommended for students who would be commuting long distances on a regular basis to attend class.
Part-time students are expected to adhere to all rules and regulations of the JD program in addition to the following rules and procedures pertaining specifically to the part-time studies program:
The courses studied in the first year of the part-time program will be decided on by the student in consultation with the Manager of the Academic Program, Nancy Somers. During the first year, the student normally will be assigned to a small section and is expected to complete the Legal Skills Program. In the following years, part-time students are required to complete their compulsory first year curriculum and select upper year courses in consultation with the Manager of the Academic Program as part of the upper year course balloting process.
Part-time students may take no more than 12 credits (for a maximum of three courses) in any term, except in exceptional circumstances approved by the Academic Standing and Policies Committee (see Faculty Board), and no less than seven credits in any term unless fewer than seven credits are required in order to complete the requirements of the JD degree.
Tuition fees charged for a course overload at part-time status may mean that it is financially more advantageous to seek approval for transfer to full-time status. With the approval of the Academic Standing and Policies Committee, extended track students may elect to take more than half a normal course load and, indeed, may elect to pursue full-time studies prior to commencement of any academic term, and may thereafter elect to revert to part-time studies for any subsequent terms. Part-time students will be subject to the same grading and policy and promotion requirements as full-time students, such requirements to be applied mutatis mutandis. The part-time student may, however, be entitled to write a supplemental examination before the completion of an academic year. Students registered in the part-time program are expected to complete the JD program within six years. In exceptional circumstances, the Academic Standing and Policies Committee may waive this requirement.
Second year part-time students still completing the first year curriculum should contact the Manager of the Academic Program, Nancy Somers at email@example.com to choose which section of the first year courses they want prior to the opening of the upper year electronic course pre-registration process through SOLUS. Thereafter such part-time students may choose the balance of their upper year electives through the electronic course pre-registration process on SOLUS. Students must have completed the pre-requisite courses in order to obtain registration in certain upper year courses.

Jennifer Rubin '83 with children in the village of Defale,Togo.
"The walls of her house were absolutely lined with greeting cards the kids had
made for her," recalls her Peace Corps director in Togo. "She was a star."
From Hamilton Online Review, Fall 2007
Jennifer Rubin '83 (Togo, 1983-84)
In early 1984, CBS sent a film crew to Togo to interview Peace Corps volunteers and ask them to reflect on the larger meaning of their service. The footage of their time in Defale, a small, rural village, captures Jenny Rubin barefoot, ankle-deep in clay, surrounded by village women. Together, the women pack the moist clay into wide, donut shaped-mounds, sculpting earth-based stoves that will reduce their need for firewood, saving them valuable time and energy. Jenny smiles freely – a big, dimple-laden smile – appearing, somehow, both relaxed and intense about the work she is doing.
"A lot of the volunteers here, myself included," she says on film, "feel that it's very important to have some input, to make an impact somewhere." The camera follows her, listening in as she communicates with the women in both French and Lamba, the local dialect, praising them for packing the clay just so.
"It was very important for her to do something for the women of the country, who bore a great burden," says Jenny's mother, Gail Rubin, when asked what motivated her daughter to take on that particular project. "That's why the stoves appealed to her, because it would ease their burden."
According to Bill Piatt, Jenny's country director in Togo, she was originally assigned to be a school garden volunteer. But early in her training she'd done some research into clay-based, wood-conserving stoves, and requested a job change to make their construction her primary assignment. She'd already spoken with more seasoned volunteers and had even met with local officials, identifying someone in the Ministry of Social Affairs who could train her. Her initiative and organization made a sizable impression on Piatt, particularly given how recently she'd arrived in the country. "She had everything all lined up," he remembers incredulously. "I'm still not sure how she pulled all that off."
Jenny was born in Louisiana in 1961 to parents active in the civil rights movement. Her father Steven is reluctant to ascribe motives to Jenny's decision to join the Peace Corps, but he does acknowledge that her surroundings made her sensitive from an early age to the world's many injustices. "The Peace Corps seemed like a natural thing for her to do," he says. "She was actually thinking of making it a career and applying to be a staff member after her tour was over." Her mother adds, "She really was where she wanted to be."
Piatt says the people of Defale appreciated Jenny's many contributions to village life. "They loved her," he remembers. "The walls of her house were absolutely lined with greeting cards the kids had made for her. She was a star."
She was also a prolific letter writer, an accomplished weaver, a poet and a loyal friend, says Melissa Chesnut-Tangerman '82, who corresponded regularly with Jenny from her own Peace Corps post in Kenya. "She was just so vibrant."
In June 1984, roughly a year after she arrived in Togo, two men from a neighboring village killed Jenny in her home. They had been recruited by a young woman whom Jenny had discovered stealing from her. A senseless, brutal act of violence, and Jenny Rubin was gone.
And yet, even 23 years after her death, her legacy continues to shine bright. Thanks to Chesnut-Tangerman, several classmates and a supportive administration, the Jenny Rubin Memorial Prize Scholarship has been awarded year after year, honoring "a senior woman who has evinced interest in, and ongoing commitment to, helping others improve their lives." Along with a cash gift, the honoree receives a copy of a 10-minute DVD, which includes clips of the original CBS footage. And there's Jenny on screen — barefoot, hands and feet caked with clay, smiling, reflective, content.
"Jenny was the real thing," Chesnut-Tangerman says, trailing off. She and her husband Robin Chesnut-Tangerman '82 named their first child, a daughter, after their mutual friend.
As the CBS footage from Defale draws to a close, the reporter asks Jenny if she ever wonders whether her contribution might just be a drop in the bucket.
"Yes," she nods her head slowly, considering. "Yes. Yeah, I do. But a drop in the bucket is what I can do."
If you are a friend or family member of this volunteer and would like to contribute a picture, a story, or something different, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

I knew Jennifer well in high school. I would like to nominate her for the Distinguished Alumni Award at Choate Rosemary Hall, our high school.
Until very recently, the award had never been given posthumously; it was recently bestowed upon another friend of mine who died in Afghanistan. Please contact me if you knew Jenny in college or in the Peace Corp. I will most likely need to gather information from those who worked with her in the Peace Corps and college to get the process started. I wrote her parents a letter after I heard of her death and I told them that in all things beautiful I saw Jenny… I still do and have never forgotten her.
Thanks for your help.

Nico Miller wow, thanks michaela for the rush of warmth the memory of having know jen even a little brings back. i havent thought of her for decades now, but the memory of her sweetness feels like yesterday. i can't help but wonder if her spirit was set free so young to continue her work in some other form, rather than the more trivial pursuits most of us have been caught up in for so many of these years. i can only prey that her loved ones have found some way of keeping jen's joy alive and escape the suffering of her absence. i can only say, from reading her parent's words, that there is something to be said for those who pass on doing what they love regardless of their age, rather than dying at their desk in some silly office building from stress or poor health. If anyone is in touch with Melissa/Robin Chesnut-Tangerman-s Jenny Rubin Memorial Prize Scholarship please holler. Perhaps we can get info about the scholarship and even post the footage of jen on this page or a link to it. bless~~ nico
Hi Nico – I love your comment about perhaps Jenny having other work to do being the reason she left us so early. It is what I believe. Please reply to my email and I'd love to tell you more about the Jenny Rubin prize. So glad you wrote!

McDonald's Korea unveils Hello Kitty-themed dolls
If it seems like Hello Kitty is everywhere these days, that's because she definitely is, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. This Hello Kitty fever has clearly spread to Korea in the form of these stuffed McDonald's characters.
The fast food chain recently unveiled their creative Hello Kitty dolls, each dressed as Ronald McDonald, Grimace, Birdie, and most hilariously, the Hamburglar. Each comes in its own neatly packaged and stylized box.
The idea of Hello Kitty cosplaying as McDonald's characters is just too good to pass up. And don't worry, the iconic Hello Kitty bow remains intact, no matter how it's dressed. Just make sure to stop off and get one these adorable dolls soon, as they're only available for a limited time.

With several controversies surrounding the world of Indian publishing, Karthika VK makes a case for why the industry shouldn't stifle free expression.
Via The Caravan
There is a certain caution built into the publishing system. Call it prudence, call it cowardice or just plain pragmatism. When a publisher signs a contract with an author, the possibility of plagiarism, libel, defamation, obscenity, are all flagged as potential causes of breach of contract. Long discussions can follow on the indemnity clause, which fixes responsibility on the author and ensures that if the book ends up in litigation of any sort, the author will have to fight the case all the way through, alongside the publisher. But events don't always unfold this way, as we saw in the Wendy Doniger case, where a book was withdrawn even before the matter reached the courts.
When the system seems to connive with the mob to prevent free expression and dissemination of content, what is a publisher to do? The easy thing would be to follow the letter of the law and not test the ideals—if one could call them that—or patience of any part of society.
The other way to respond would be to take the route further north: instead of throwing water on the wood even before the flame is lit, to sit down and plan the fire. Publishing houses, especially small, independent presses with a clear political agenda have been doing this for years; it's the bigger houses that have for the most part cultivated fairly neutral profiles. But neutrality can fade into inaction, even compromise, and in the ever-shrinking democratic space in India, that isn't an option any more—it isn't even good business. A large publishing house has infrastructure, the assurance of legal help, the ability to underwrite reasonable legal expenses, and access to the media. What it lacks, perhaps, is a clear understanding of publishing as a political space where choices must be made not merely on the basis of literary aesthetics or commerce, but as part of a continuing and intellectually vibrant engagement with society. Rather than trap a trend and stay with it for as long as it generates sales, publishers must actually intervene in debates and actively commission books on subjects that could shape the way people think about governance, conflict, human rights, environment, history. In these times of self-publishing and the infinite resources of the internet, not doing so would be to fade into irrelevance.

Small business owners often spend a large chuck of time planning their company's operations. A majority of that time is spent planning initial operations and expected financial returns. Once the business is open and running, business owners continue the planning process to ensure their venture remains profitable. Industry analysis is an important part of small business planning. This analysis often looks at the external factors that will affect the company's operations.
Industry analysis involves reviewing information on current economic market conditions. Industries studied can include retail, fast food, manufacturing, various repair services and construction. The type and number of business industries analyzed depends on the local economic market. Markets with large groups of consumers or several demographic groups often have more business industries than smaller economic markets. Free market economies are built on the concept of supply and demand. Markets with high consumer demand often have more companies in particular industries.
Business owners can conduct an industry analysis in one of two ways: quantitative or qualitative. Quantitative analysis uses mathematical forecasting techniques to analyze specific pieces of an industry's information. Decision trees, game theory or other forecasting methods are commonly used in the industry analysis. Qualitative analysis involves business owners reviewing industry information and making personal judgments or inferences from the information. Business owners with particular experience or expertise in an industry often use qualitative analysis as they are already familiar with that particular industry.
Industry analysis is important because it allows business owners to estimate how much profit they can generate from business operations. Business owners rarely enter industries at the plateau stage or those which have begun an economic decline. Industries under these conditions do not usually generate enough profits for new business ventures. Business owners also assess the number of competitors currently selling consumer goods or services in their industry. High levels of competition often create lower than desired profits.
Conducting a very detailed and intense industry analysis can provide business owners with specific knowledge regarding the economic marketplace. Business owners may discover a market niche not currently being met by other companies. Business owners can also conduct consumer surveys to learn about new goods or services that could have high demand in the marketplace. This information can provide new business owners with a significant benefit over existing companies in a business.
Industry analysis does not guarantee success in the business environment. Business owners can misinterpret information or make incorrect judgments on the best way to pursue profits with a new business venture. Spending too much time on industry analysis can also subject the business owner to "paralysis of analysis." This theory states that individuals who collect too much information may be unable to make a business decision. Additionally, more time is spent doing the analysis phase than making a decision.
